Chapter 553: Ambush
In the current situation, the retreat of the beast tribe is already very urgent, so the elf troops who received the news chose to pursue it immediately. All the troops set out directly from Sebondia City and pursued the beast tribe's troops with all their might. No matter how they could not let them retreat from their own land smoothly.
"Accelerate, you must stop them here!" Salina walked to the front of the army and kept accelerating her troops, because judging from the news received, the orc troops had already started to set off, and Sebondia City was still some distance from Zulina City. If the speed was not fast enough, it would not be able to catch up.
After 40 minutes of marching, the elves finally arrived at the city of Zulina. The troops slowed down slightly and sent a reconnaissance force to take a look. The city of Zulina had become an empty city, the bungalows had become a warehouse for corpses of elves and civilians. The dry blood left during the massacre not long ago remained on the ground. This reminded every elves of what happened on the day of the city breaking, and all the soldiers were covered in the hearts of hatred.
"We will definitely avenge you for the blood of the 100,000 tribesmen." Hatred made Shalina's expression become extremely ferocious. She gritted her teeth and said to the troops behind, "We will not go into the city, and we will pursue the orc troops with all our might!"
"Yes!" all the soldiers replied together, with the answers neatly, and the hatred in their tone was also clearly revealed. Everyone was thinking about one thing, that is, to kill the Beast clan's troops, and now is the best time.
But with what Shalina said, the Elf tribe's troops accelerated again and began to chase the Beast tribe's troops.
After another half an hour of march, the elves troops arrived at a relatively flat place.
"Wait..." Originally, the place with a flat terrain should have been accelerating the speed of the march, but Shalina stopped the troops at this time.
"What's wrong?" Miley asked strangely, "Hurry up and hurry up and chase."
"Mile." Carrey said up. "Look at this terrain, there are mountains on the left and woods on the right. This place... is suitable for ambushing."
"Oh?" Miley immediately looked around and saw that it was true. The mountains on the left were full of bushes. People could be ambushed, and the woods on the right were even more a good place for Tibetans.
"Send a reconnaissance force..." Salina said, "You can't be careless now. Even if the enemy retreats, it is possible to set up an ambush."
"I know!" said Miley here, "The Grand Duke Aquitaine used this strategy before, setting up an ambush when retreating, and directly pitting the entire army of the demon clan."
"Well, so even if we sacrifice a little time now, we have to first..." Shalina said before she finished speaking. Suddenly, a shout of killing sounds around her. Shalina immediately looked in the direction where the sound came. Sure enough, a large number of orc troops emerged from the woods on the right, and it was also the elite troops of the orcs and wolf cavalry of the orcs. Compared to horses, the wolf cavalry's straight sprint speed is far less than that of horses, but he also has an advantage, that is, the terrain is better than that of horses. For example, the wolf cavalry can run, after all, wolf is originally from the woods. So this unit rushed out of the woods, Shalina didn't feel surprised, but nodded instead.
"There are indeed ambushers! Don't panic! Form a formation to meet the enemy!" Shalina began to adjust the troops after she said that, and all the elves immediately began to shoot at the wolf cavalry, and soon many wolf cavalry were shot down.
"Kill!" The fall of companions did not scare the bloodthirsty beast army. The wolf cavalry did not stop at all. They braved the rain of arrows and rushed into the elves' troops. Suddenly, the elves began to suffer casualties. The archers who were close enough to pull out their swords, and the wolf cavalry was killed with one knife.
"Stop them!" Shalina took out her longbow while commanding the troops. She shot through two beast soldiers with one arrow. Only the elves' archer troops dared to shoot arrows when the opponent's cavalry rushed into their camp. Because they had good archery skills, they basically would not shoot at their own people. If it were human troops, how could they dare to shoot? One shot would kill themselves.
Because the troops of the elves marched in the form of a long snake, the wolf cavalry quickly penetrated the troops of the elves from the side and killed them from the other side. This time, the losses on both sides were heavy. At least nearly a thousand wolves were shot to death by bows and arrows, and the elves troops they passed by were also dead, and no one could stand.
"They are prepared and retreat!" At this time, the wolf cavalry general led by the leader suddenly shouted, and then led the troops directly to the east.
"A little trick!" Shalina said immediately, "How are we losing?"
"About 700-800 people were lost." The adjutant next to him looked at the situation and said.
"Chasing! The troops sent by the other party to ambush have been defeated by us. Now is the time to pursue!" Shalina said immediately.
"Chasing!" Miley also shouted to the troops behind her.
The elves' troops immediately accelerated and continued to pursue the Beasts' troops. However, as mentioned before, the elves' troops did not have cavalry, so they could only watch the opponent's wolf cavalry troops running further and further. However, they knew that the Beasts' troops were ahead and they would definitely be able to catch up.
After chasing forward for less than ten minutes, Shalina suddenly saw the flags of the orc troops appearing in front of her, and there were a large number of flags. It seemed that she had already caught up with the opponent's large army. Just as she was happy, Shalina suddenly felt something was wrong because the other party seemed not marching, but was waiting for her feelings.
"Wait, something is wrong." Shalina immediately stopped her troops and said.
As they were talking, as soon as the Beast tribe troops in front drove left and right, the two generals came out. The elves naturally knew these two. They were the culprits of this war, the first marshal of the Beast tribe, and the Marshal of the Third Army, Grolin.
"I just realized that something is wrong now. It's too late, elf girl." Grolin here said with a sneer at Shalina.
"Are you trapped?" Shalina was shocked and immediately looked around and looked at the situation. Now the place where they were standing was a plain area, and on the left was a mountain. If there were troops ambushing her, she could only hide there.
"Come on, shoot!" Grolin immediately waved his hand, and indeed a large number of Beast Clan archers appeared from the mountain on the left, and immediately started shooting at the elves. In an instant, the elves suffered casualties.
"Don't panic! Shoot them down!" Shalina said immediately. The archers of the beast clan were not very powerful. Even if they had terrain advantages, Shalina was not very afraid. If the two sides shot against each other, the elves would never panic.
The elves' troops immediately started to fight back. Sure enough, one shot from both sides. The archers of the beast tribe on the mountain here really couldn't get any benefits. They could be shot behind the bushes, and the opponent still shot from the bottom to the top, and their power was similar to the bows and arrows they shot down.
"Is this true?" Colbart had considered this situation for a long time and immediately waved his hand to signal the infantry to start advancing.
"The opponent's infantry team is coming up." Miley saw this and said to Shalina while shooting at the mountain.
"Don't panic while shooting, we only have to worry about the cavalry team." Shalina said. The elves' troops were very powerful in positional battles, and only they could do the magical skill of shooting and retreating, so Shalina was not worried about the opponent's infantry team's tie push.
The elves troops followed the order and immediately began to shoot and retreat. The infantry teams on the Beasts immediately began to suffer casualties. Although the Beasts infantry were all wearing large shields, they could not defend the opponent's tricky shooting angle. Soon a large number of Beasts infantry began to fall. The elves troops also began to slowly escape the shooting distance of the orc archers on the mountain.
"Just like this, slowly, we are not afraid of consuming them, we have time!" said Shalina.
"Kill!" As soon as he finished speaking, a huge shout of killing sound suddenly sounded, and Shalina was shocked, because the shout of killing was obviously the shout of an orc, and it was also coming from the back of her team.
Looking back, a team of orc infantry suddenly appeared in the back row of his team and rushed towards them directly.
"What! This is impossible!" Shalina was shocked. Where did this army come from and how could it be possible.
"Hahahahaha! Idiots! You guys were trapped!" Grolin in front said with a laugh.
"Didn't..." Suddenly, Shalina realized something.
"Yes! Our troops had been ambushed in the woods before, but only the cavalry team appeared on their own initiative, making you think our ambush team was discovered. In fact, there were infantry teams waiting for you to come over, hahahaha." Grolin said with a laugh, "This is our Marshal Corbart's strategy. You are not wronged in the elves! Cavalry team! It's time for you!"
"Kill!" The wolf cavalry team that had just appeared ran out of the beast clan camp in front again, accelerating and directly entering the front row of the elf clan.
"Oh no!" Shalina was so anxious that she was sweating profusely. Now she was being attacked from front and back, and the elves had no advantage in retreating and fighting. Originally, the troops were fewer than those of the beasts, so this situation was simply a rhythm of being completely destroyed.
"Commander, what should I do?" Carrey leaned forward and asked Shalina.
"I...we..." Shalina immediately observed the situation. There were troops in front and behind, and there was a mountain wall on the left. Now there was only a place to run on the right. "The troops walked to the right."
"Go!" Carrey shouted immediately.
"They went to the right..." Seeing the movements of the Elf troops, Grolin smiled at Corbart beside him.
"Everything is in the plan." Korbati nodded, "squeezing the elves' troops, minimizing their numbers, and driving them there."
