Yet now he had no energy left to rush back and save them.
And due to their size, even if he wanted to rescue them, it would be difficult.
After this wave of bloodshed, Li Yuia felt as if he wanted to die.
Chapter 365.
A cold glint general.
The Orc army is beginning to retreat.
By the looks of it, they probably want to fall back to Iron Wall City.
Putting down his telescope, Lu Kai, who had already become the deputy general of Bise, had evidently taken on the task of strategizing for this light cavalry unit, and he was now deeply trusted by Baise.
Hearing this, B is nodded.
They were far more familiar with the route from Shang Yuan city back to Iron Wall City than these invading outsiders.
After quickly organizing his thoughts, Bise had already formulated the best ambush route, then lightly kicked the horse's belly and the long hidden light cavalry unit sprang into action.
Meanwhile, on the main battlefield, the pursuit by the main forces continued.
However, relying solely on physical fitness, human soldiers were indeed unable to outrun the stronger orcs, and over time, the distance between the two sides had noticeably widened.
Yet, riding the blazing fire, Lu G was completely unperturbed.
After killing a null with a single shot, he quickly regrouped with his escort team and the flanking forces led by Burig.
As a skilled archer and horseman, Lu G move moved seamlessly with the cavalry, showcasing his exceptional archery skills by leveraging their range and mobility.
The cavalry s pursuit tactics were fully highlighted at this moment.
After several rounds of ollies, Lu G and Bu Rigid clearly understood that the light cavalry of Bise had arrived as the dust kicked up in the distance indicated.
Without needing further instructions, Burri simply raised his hand and the cavalry behind them swiftly swapped their weapons for long spears, no longer pressing forward against the retreating orc army, but instead began to maneuver around the periphery.
This was because the two cavalry units could not confirm each other's exact charge positions during the battle.
And in such a scenario, charging the enemy from two different directions simultaneously posed a risk of collision.
To avoid such occurrences, the closer cavalry unit had to give the initiative to the more distant one, as the cavalry charging from a distance would have greater lethality, while the closer unit could take this opportunity to adjust its position.
Liuia, realizing he was being flanked by enemy cavalry, turned ashen, reflecting on the entire battle today.
From the beginning to now, the actions of the opposing forces seemed to be intricately linked, while he himself had completely fallen into the trap laid by Lu Gi.
As thoughts raced, the light cavalry charging towards him had clearly reached their maximum speed, almost flying forward.
In the blink of an eye, they were upon him.
Baise's cold gaze swept over and directly locked onto Lee Yuia on the Bronze War chariot.
He thrust his spear forward, and at that moment, a sharp sound pierced the air as the lightning fast strike transformed into a chilling beam, aimed straight at Leuia's throat.
In a critical moment, a figure suddenly shot out, accompanied by a sharp clang as dual blades cross a deflect by Z lethal strike.
Li Yuia, having narrowly escaped death, felt his legs go weak and sat down on the chariot s floor, nearly soiling himself from the shock of a near-death experience.
While the Yuia still had time to be afraid, Liku did not.
Bise s eyes flashed with cold light and without any grand gestures.
He definitely executed a stunning threehit combination with his spear, launching a deadly pursuit against Liku.
Liku was greatly alarmed and attempted to change his tactics, but this only led to a lack of follow-up strength, resulting in by Zay piercing through his dual blades with two strikes, while the third thrust aimed directly at his throat.
The impending sense of death made Leiku s fur stand on end.
In a split second, he quickly twisted his neck to avoid having his throat mercilessly pierced, but he couldn't escape the cold gleam of the spear, leaving a wound on his neck.
Blood slowly oozed from his neck, soaking the surrounding fur and sending cold sweat down Liu's back.
In that moment, he realized that Bise had managed to unleash four strikes in quick succession, he had nearly lost his life.
This human was so powerful it sent chills down his spine.
Maintaining their charge, the two figures swiftly passed each other, and the cavalry unit following closely behind by Z mercilessly brought death to the retreating orc army.
Meanwhile, after understanding by Zay as charge route, Bou Rigid waved his spear and decisively led his cavalry to crush from another direction, Lu Gi intended to follow, but was quickly held back by a group of guards led by Helong.
After all, they were there to protect Lu Gi and prioritize his safety.
Following Buu rigid in a pursuit was one thing, but charging in a battle was far too dangerous, wasn't he? It all right.
Luo Gi was somewhat self-aware, though he felt a bit frustrated.
He decided not to make it difficult for his guards.
However, staying back didn't he guarantee safety.
Their position was still near the retreating orc army, and some unseen Nles were stealthily charging towards them with long spears.
Glancing around quickly, Lu G wasn't t going to hesitate at this moment.
He reached for the hand crossbow hanging on the saddle.
The bow string had already been drawn, and after quickly loading a bolt without taking much time to aim, he fired with precision.
With a soft whoosh sound, the bolt embedded itself in the head of one null.
While the hand crossbow couldn't te produce many bolts in a short time, nor could he form a crossbowman unit, it was more than enough to arm his escort team.
The guards, having practiced efficiently, used it without any awkwardness, quickly shooting down the nles that attempted to attack them.
Aside from the hassle of loading, the impressive power and rate of fire of the weapon satisfied Luog.
Killing Nolles posed almost no pressure, and if he could produce a large quantity in a short time, this battle would become significantly easier.
However, the craftsmanship of the hand crossbow was time-consuming and labor intensive, making mass production in a short period seem like a pipe dream.
as long as he could arm a reasonably sized crossbowman unit within the next year.
Luog would be quite satisfied considering the armament's department also had to produce other military equipment and couldn't focus solely on crossbows.
Given the current efficiency, he should be content.
Chapter 366.
Cavalry in full swing.
The hand crossbow s attack was only a single shot serving merely as an emergency measure.
After all, for Lu G and his team, it was impractical to dismount and reload the crossbow after firing.
After reattaching the hand crossbow to the saddle, Lu G swung his bronze spear, eyeing the null that had clearly been intimidated by their attack and was hesitating.
He charged forward on horseback.
With the aid of his trusty steed, the blazing fire, he was considered half a fierce general and regarded the few nles as nothing to worry about.
In response, Hilong and the other guards did not obstruct him any further as long as their emperor didn't te rush into the enemy ranks.
They had no objections to him taking down a few nles or minotaurs.
After all, they all knew how capable Luo Gi was.
But on the battlefield, where blades and swords had no eyes, it was still wise to avoid areas with numerous enemies.
Otherwise, facing dozens of blades simultaneously, even a mightiest warrior would struggle to withstand the onslaught.
After killing several nles, Lu G appeared somewhat disinterested, glancing towards the distant military formation.
Meanwhile, his beloved pet, the shadow, was having a great time with its two brothers.
Each time it swooped down, its powerful talons ruthlessly tore the throats of the orcs or left shocking wounds on them, showcasing unexpectedly strong combat effectiveness.
At the same time, within the battle formation, Bise and Buu Rigid as cavalry units were effectively scattering the retreating orc army.
However, this time they did not choose to disperse and encircle tactically.
It cannot be denied that these orcs are indeed strong.
If a charge like the previous wave of cavalry were to crush human infantry, the destructive power would be catastrophic.
However, when they charged into the retreating orc army, although they harvested many orc lives in the process, the results were relatively limited.
At such a time, if they were to let their cavalry disperse and take on an encirclement tactic, there would be a risk of the orcs breaking through the encirclement and escaping.
Continuing to act as a group, capitalizing on their strengths and avoiding weaknesses was the better strategy.
Amidst the thunderous sound of hooves, the rampaging cavalry quickly maneuvered, transforming once again into a torrent of lethal intent, rushing towards the fleeing orcs.
This time, Bise had a clear target, his cold gaze locked directly onto Leiku, who was escorting Lejs Retreat with a team of werewolf warriors.
Upon sensing by Zay's focus, Liku's heart tightened.
Even though the werewolf warriors were fast, they could not outrun cavalry.
Realizing he was being targeted, Liku waved his hand, telling them to take the chieft into safety while he handled this side.
It had been mentioned before that within the Wolf Clan, due to differing ideologies, they had unwittingly split into two factions, the Traditionalists and the Reformists.
The werewolf warriors who accompanied Lee Yuia as close guards were undoubtedly aligned with the reformists who shared closer ideological views with him.
At this critical moment, these reformist werewolf warriors would not be polite with Liku.
They hurriedly protected Liuia and began their retreat.
Standing on the bronze war chariot, Leuena looked at Liku s back, his expression filled with complexity.
However, at this moment, with his back to them, Leica clearly could not know the complexity of the Yuja's feelings, his wolflike eyes were firmly locked onto the figure charging towards him.
In the blink of an eye, the two figures clashed once more.
Leica's knife was as swift as lightning, while Bise's spear gleamed coldly.
Both sides were on guard, and in the instant they engaged again, they exchanged a flurry of blows like a storm.
The sounds of clashing weapons instantly melded into one.
And after a frenzied battle, the two figures momentarily separated.
Bise remained fro-faced, but still appeared to be in control, while Liku was clearly breathing heavily, indicating a stark difference in their conditions.
It's you who killed Lu Jang.
The faint killing intent in by Zay's voice made Liku's scalp tingle.
