Chapter 98
The orcs ran back to the top of the slope after picking up the hand axes They waited for Xiao Yu’s commands
The coly He knew about Xiao Yu’s duel in the colosseuht that it was a coincidental victory He didn’t think that 500 orcs could beat 3000 light cavalry
Moreover, he didn’t think that there would be so many twists and turns before he would be able to find Xiao Yu and his troops Unfortunately for the commander he couldn’t find a way to attack when he had finally found Xiao Yu’s location
“Sir I’o up in thisby the commander’s side said
Commander asked in a cold tone: “What advice do you have in mind?”
The aide looked at the fortifications in front of thee of our cavalry The best option is to give up on horses and make small teams of ten to attack head on We have usually exercised this ten ainst orcs and powerful warriors Moreover, if we go up right noe can use sainst those hand axes The fortifications are obstacles but we can use thee as a cover All of our soldiers are elite so I don’t think there is anything to be afraid of just 500 orcs!”
The commander nodded as he listened to aide’s advice He are that the horses were useless in this terrain But he wasn’t willing to give up on horses as they were cavalry units! Nevertheless, as elite soldiers he believed that his troops would be fine even on foot
He had lost 500 soldiers but they had another 2500 ready to fight The enemy had only 500 orcs! He decided that five elite soldiers were enough to beat an orc!
Moreover, their usual small formation of ten soldiers a team would be the arch-nemesis for orcs
Commander would have delayed time in here and wait for Xiao Yu to finish their food and make hie the hill then Xiao Yu would also have a lot of ways to deal with him As a result, co to use their sht the orcs
The orcs had hand axes and they had spears!
Xiao Yu narrowed his eyes when he saw the eneet off their horses
“Direct battle? Prepare the ballistas!”
The cavalry units turned into infantry units They had shi+elds on their left hands and spear on their right hands The daggers were hanging from their waists They could throw spears to kill the orcs within the right distance and then charge up for a close combat!
The infantry scattered around because of the last experience They didn’t want to concentrate together and suffer the same result as the last time
Moreover, they had chosen to go by the fortifications In case, the hand axes were thrown then they would use the obstacles to hide
