Chapter 98
The Orcs ran back to the top of the slope after picking up a hand axe. They were waiting for Xiao Yu's orders.
The commander's face was ugly. He knew about Xiao Yu's duel at the colosseum in the Bengal city. However, he thought it was a fortuitous victory. He did not think that 500 orcs could defeat 3000 light cavalry.
Moreover, he did not think that there would be so many twists and turns before he could find Xiao Yu and his troops. Unfortunately for the commander he was unable to find a way to attack when he finally found the location of Xiao Yu.
"Sir, I'm afraid it'll be hard to ride this way." The adjutant standing beside the commander said.
The commander asked in a cold tone: "What advice do you have in mind?"
The adjutant saw the fortress in front of them: “The obstacles have completely limited our cavalry advantage. The best option was to give up on the horses and make a small team of ten to attack directly. We usually train this ten-man formation against Orcs and strong warriors. Especially if we ride now we can use the small shield and obstacle as the cover of that hand axe. The fort is a barrier but we can use it to our advantage as a cover. All of our soldiers are elites so I don't think there's anything to fear with just 500 orcs!”
The commander nodded while listening to his adjutant's advice. He realized that the horses were useless on this terrain. But he was unwilling to give up on the horses because they were cavalry units! Nevertheless, as an elite soldier he believed that his troops would be fine even on foot.
He had lost 500 soldiers but they had another 2,500 ready for battle. The enemy only has 500 orcs! He decided that five elite soldiers were enough to defeat the orcs!
Moreover, their small formation which usually consisted of ten soldiers would be the sworn enemies of the Orcs.
The commander would delay the time here and wait for Xiao Yu to finish their meal and make him attack down the slope. However, he knew that if he surrounded the hill then Xiao Yu would also have many ways to deal with it. As a result, the commander ordered all troops to disembark. They would use their small shields, spears, and daggers to fight the Orcs.
Orcs have hand axes and they have spears!
Xiao Yu narrowed his eyes as he watched the enemy soldiers descend from their horses.
“Direct battle? Prepare ballista!”
The cavalry unit turned into an infantry unit. They have a shield in their left hand and a spear in their right hand. Daggers hanging from their waists. They could throw spears to kill Orcs within the right distance and then attack for close combat!
The infantry scattered for the last experience. They do not want to concentrate together and suffer the same results as last time.
Moreover, they had chosen to go through the fortress. If the hand axes were thrown then they would use obstacles to hide.
The first group of infantry soldiers came to a stop near the fort. They drill under them as protection.
The next moment a spear was thrown from the giant bow. The spear pierced through the air as a whistling sound echoed.
Pop~ Pop~ Puff~ Puff~
The thick long spear thrown from the giant bow pierced through the body of the first soldier and passed through it to hit a few more before coming to a stop. The spears were capable of killing dozens of soldiers in a single shot.
"Resigning charges! Appeared! Cut that bow or we'll all die!” 100 Commanders shouted! In fact, his judgment was correct as if they were not dealing with a giant bow then they would all die. Especially if the distance was getting closer then they could prevent the Orcs from attacking through the giant bow.
But the shooting speed of the Orcs was much faster than they thought.
The first row of orcs grabbed a large bow and moved from side to back while the second row of orcs holding giant arrows came to shoot.
Pop~ Pop~ Puff~ Puff~
The infantry shield could not resist the spears thrown from the ballista. Of course, there would be cunning enemy soldiers hiding under the obstacle but the Orcs did not care about it. In fact, they didn't even aim accurately. The Orcs followed Xiao Yu's orders to shoot in the greatest scope. Once they fired the spear, they would run back to fill the ballista once more.
A normal ballista would be too troublesome to operate. Two orcs would be needed to push him forward. The flexibility and mobility of such machines is low. However, the Orcs were holding giant arrows and could easily retrieve them back.
Xiao Yu had made five rows where each row had 10 ballistas. The first row will soon re-fill the giant arrow with the spear while the second row shoots. The second row will reverse and give its place to the third and fourth rows and so on. In the end, the first line of the original will shoot again.
The accuracy of the shots was not high but within a few minutes 50 spears would be fired and each shot could penetrate dozens of enemies.
"G ... How many ballistas do they have?" The enemy soldiers also panicked. They hide under obstacles and try to retreat from the range of the bow.
The psychological state of the enemy army had collapsed once again. A giant crossbow is more effective than just a hand axe!
The speed of fire is fast. The density of the shots is also a lot. As a result, even the fleeing soldiers were also killed. About 500 enemy soldiers were killed until they reached the range of the giant arc. At the same time Xiao Yu ordered the Orcs to rush down and kill every enemy soldier hiding under the obstacle.
As a result, the enemy soldiers were killed once again. In the blink of an eye, two waves of attacks had occurred. The enemy has lost more than 1000 soldiers in both attacks. They would be destroyed if they continued twice more with the same type of attack.
