THE FIGHT TO BE KING
CHAPTER 127: CLOSING THE WAY BACK
The leader of the Orc army certainly saw the cavalry troops that kept shooting their troops dead, the face of the leader of the Orc army became gloomy.
If it continues like this, these 1000 newly arrived cavalry troops will continue to disturb their forces resulting in heavy casualties.
The problem was, their troops did not have enough speed to capture this cavalry.
After thinking for a while, the leader of the Orc army stared at the representative beside him "You brought 500 Orc troops and 2000 goblins against the newly arrived enemy cavalry troops. I know that you definitely cannot catch up to the speed of the enemy cavalry, but your goal is not to kill the enemy cavalry but to keep them away from this battlefield. As long as we have about 20 minutes left to attack the troops guarding this city, we will definitely manage to capture it. Therefore, you must lead the army to keep these 1000 enemy cavalry away from here for at least 20 minutes".
The vice leader of the Orc army nodded heavily, knowing that he had a very tough task, but this was what he had to do as a representative.
The 2000 goblin troops and 500 Orcs separated from the troops attacking Rorec City, they rushed towards the attacking cavalry troops from the side.
This cavalry force was none other than the Mongol Cavalry force led by Falka.
While shooting at the Orcs again, Falka found about 2500 enemy troops rushing towards him.
A smile appeared on Falka's face, he knew that the enemy separated his troops to hold Falka while they were attacking Rorec City.
If the relief forces were only Falka and the Mongol Cavalry, this plan might work. But the enemy made a big mistake because there were still more relief troops besides the Mongol Cavalry.
"The whole army begins to move back and keep shooting, don't let the enemy chase you!", cried Falka who turned his horse to get away from the 2500 enemy troops who were chasing them.
The other Mongol cavalry followed Falka's movements, turning away from the approaching enemy forces while shooting them with arrows.
The deputy leader of the Orc army saw that Falka was moving away from Rorec City as planned, a confident smile appearing on his face "Keep after them, do not forget to always prepare your shield so as not to be shot by enemy arrows! Remember well that our goal is not to kill them, our goal is just to survive!".
The Orcs continued to chase the Mongol Cavalry despite being shot by relentless arrows, with a shield in their hands, most of the arrows were stopped, although there were still casualties on their side due to the arrow.
While chasing the Mongol Cavalry for 5 minutes, the 2500 Goblin Orcs froze as the Mongol Cavalry suddenly turned against them.
The Mongol cavalry, who used to wear bows, turned their weapons into swords and shields, ready for close combat.
But what kept the Orc Goblins frozen was not the Mongol Cavalry turning against them, but a new army emerging behind the Mongol Cavalry.
This army had a number of about 700 soldiers who were none other than the Praetorian Guard who had remained following Myro in this war.
But this time the weapons of the Praetorian Guard had changed again, they did not wear a long spear but a javelin.
A javelin is a spear made specifically for throwing. Different from arrows, as long as the javelin can hit the target, be it a shield or armor can certainly be penetrated by the throw of this javelin.
Without wasting any more time, Lopen who was in the front row of the Praetorian Guard shouted "Throw your javelins!".
700 Javelins were immediately thrown by the Praetorian Guard.
The javelin was a weapon that began to be used in Greek times, especially the spartans who were famous for their greatness throwing javelins and stones.
"Stabs!".
In front of this javelin throw, hundreds of enemy troops were immediately stabbed to death to the ground.
Even the famous Orcs had strong bodies like armor even though they were pierced easily by a javelin, be it a shield or the strength of their body was just like paper before the power of the javelin throw.
The enemy Orc-Goblin troops became frantic, about 700 of their troops actually died from the javelin throw.
The deputy leader of the Orc army also opened his mouth wide in disbelief, even though the Orcs had confidence in the strength and defense of their bodies. Yet in front of this enemy, their strength as well as defense were nothing more than paper.
During the Mongol Cavalry shelling and throwing of this javelin, they had already lost nearly 1000 troops which made his army panic.
Seeing the Praetorian Guard planning to throw a javelin at 2, the enemy troops fled.
"Wait, you can't escape! Anyone who escaped would be sentenced to military-sentence", the deputy leader of the Orc army shouted like a madman as all his troops fled.
But at this moment, Falka's figure appeared in front of him then slashed at his neck.
The head of the vice leader of the Orc army was bright to the sky, blood was flying in the air as a result of that. But Falka did not care at all, he continued to bring the Mongol Cavalry after the fleeing enemy.
Looking at the defeated enemy forces and fleeing, Lopen raised his hand "Enough, don't throw the javelin again, you can hit our Mongol Cavalry comrades if you keep throwing the javelin. Turn your weapons into swords, we'll follow the Mongol cavalry to attack the enemy".
"Well!", cried the Praetorian Guard who changed their weapons quickly, they were truly an elite force that could use almost any weapon be it a sword, a spear, to a javelin.
The Praetorian Guard who had changed their weapons followed the Mongol Cavalry to the enemy forces in Rorec City again.
...----------------...
The current leader of the Orc army felt a headache from the reports of the surrounding soldiers "Leader, report! There are 2000 infantrymen besieging us from the left and rear, they're closing our retreat!".
"Report! The 1000 cavalry that previously attacked us came back, they started attacking our troops from the right side again. Not only that, they also brought about 700 additional infantry troops and 2500 troops led by the vice leader were already defeated! Of the 2500 troops that left, only less than 1000 returned! Not only that, it seems that the vice leader also died in the middle of the fight!".
Hearing all the reports, the leader of the Orc army sighed, knowing that he had already jumped into the midst of the enemy's trap.
There were now about 4000 soldiers besieging them from all sides and approximately 3000 Aclan troops were stopping them from going to Rorec City.
Originally he still had around 6800 troops, but Lopen and the knights had already killed nearly 1000 Orc troops. Not only that, almost 2000 goblin troops have been killed by Retya attacks from the left and rear with new troops that he has trained.
Another 500 Orcs were killed by the Mongol Cavalry and 1000 goblins were killed by javelin attacks.
The troops he had now were only 300 Orc troops with 2000 goblin troops, there was no longer a chance to win this war.
