Given the current situation, the orcs' retreat was extremely urgent. Hence, the moment the elves received the news, they immediately chose to give chase. All the troops set off from Sepandia City and went after the orcs with all their might. No matter what, they couldn't let the orcs retreat from their land.
"Speed up! We must stop them here!" Selena walked to the front of the army and urged her troops to speed up. According to the information she received, the orc army had already set off, and Cyberdia City was still a distance away from Sulina City. If they didn't move fast enough, they wouldn't be able to catch up at all.
After 40 minutes of marching, the elven army finally arrived at Sulina City. The army slowed down a little and sent out scouts to take a look. Sulina City had already become an empty city. The bungalows had become warehouses filled with the corpses of elven civilians. The ground was still stained with dried blood from the massacre not long ago. This reminded every elf of what happened on the day the city was breached. All the soldiers' hearts were shrouded in the word "hatred".
"The blood of 100,000 of our people. We will definitely avenge you." Hatred made Selena's expression extremely sinister. She clenched her teeth and said to the troops behind her, "We will not enter the city. Go after the orcs with all our might!"
"Yes!" All the soldiers answered in unison, and the hatred in their tone was obvious. Everyone was thinking about one thing, and that was to get rid of the Beastmen, and now was the best time to do so.
However, Selena didn't need to say anything. The elves sped up again and began to chase after the orcs.
After another half an hour of marching, the Elven army arrived at a relatively flat area.
"Wait …" Originally, they should have sped up in such a flat area, but Selena stopped the troops at that moment.
"What's wrong?" Miley asked curiously. "Hurry up and chase after them."
"Miley," Kerry said. "Look at the terrain. There's a mountain on the left, and a forest on the right. This place … is suitable for an ambush."
"Eh?" Miley immediately looked around. Sure enough, the mountain on the left was full of trees, which could be used for an ambush. The forest on the right was even better.
"Send out scouts …" Selena said. "We can't be careless now. Even if the enemy retreats, they might set up an ambush."
"I know!" "The Archduke of Aquitaine used a similar strategy before. He set up an ambush while retreating and killed an entire army of the Demons."
"Yes, so even if we have to sacrifice a little time, we have to first …" Before Selena could finish her sentence, she suddenly heard a battle cry. Selena immediately looked in the direction of the sound. Sure enough, a large group of orcs emerged from the forest on the right. Moreover, they were the elite orcs, the orc Wolf Riders. Compared to horses, the Wolf Cavalry's sprinting speed in a straight line was far slower. However, they also had an advantage, and that was that they could adapt to the terrain better than horses. For example, the Forest Wolf Cavalry could also run. After all, wolves originally lived in the forest. So, Selena wasn't surprised that this unit came out of the forest, and nodded instead.
"There is indeed an ambush! Everyone, do not panic! Get into formation and face the enemy! " After saying that, Selena began to adjust the troops. All the elves immediately began to shoot at the Wolf Riders, and soon, many Wolf Riders were shot down.
"Kill!" The fall of their companions did not scare the bloodthirsty orcs. The Wolf Riders did not stop at all. Braving the rain of arrows, they directly killed their way into the elves' ranks. Immediately, casualties began to appear in the elves' ranks. The archers in close range did not even have time to draw their swords before the Wolf Riders reaped their heads.
"Stop them!" While Selena commanded the troops, she took out her longbow and shot an arrow through two orc soldiers. Only the elves' sharpshooters dared to shoot arrows when the enemy's cavalry rushed into their camp. This was because they were good at archery, and basically, they would not shoot their own people. If it were a human army, they would not dare to shoot at them. A single shot would kill many of them.
As the elven troops marched in a long snake pattern, the Wolf Riders quickly penetrated the elven troops from the side and killed their way out from the other side. This time, both sides suffered heavy losses. At least a thousand Wolf Riders were shot to death, and most of the elven troops they passed through were also killed. No one was left standing.
"They are prepared. Retreat!" At this time, the leader of the Wolf Riders suddenly shouted, then led the troops directly to the east.
"Small tricks!" Selena immediately said. "How are our losses?"
"About 700-800 people lost," the adjutant next to her said after looking at the situation.
"Chase! The enemy troops sent to ambush us have been defeated. Now is the time to chase! "Selena immediately said.
"Chase!" Miley also shouted to the troops behind her.
The elves immediately sped up and continued to chase the orc troops. But as mentioned before, the elves did not have any cavalry. They could only watch as the enemy Wolf Riders ran further and further away. But they knew that the main force of the orcs was in front of them, and they would definitely be able to catch up.
After chasing for less than ten minutes, Selena suddenly saw the flags of the orcs in front of her, and it was a large number of flags. It seemed that they had caught up with the main force of the orcs. Just when Selena was feeling happy, she suddenly felt that something was wrong. The other party did not seem to be marching, but waiting for her.
"Wait, something's not right." Selena immediately stopped her troops and said.
As she said that, the orc troops in front of them opened up to the left and right, and two generals walked out. The elves naturally knew these two. They were the culprits of this war, the first marshal of the orcs, Colbart, and the marshal of the third army, Grolin.
"It's too late for you to realize that something's wrong now, elf girl." Grolin sneered at Selena.
"Have we fallen into a trap?" Selena was shocked, and immediately looked around. They were now standing on a plain, and on the left was a mountain. If there was an ambush, they could only hide there.
"Men, shoot!" Grolin immediately waved his hand, and a large number of orc archers appeared from the left side of the mountain. They immediately started shooting at the elves, and in an instant, the elves suffered casualties.
"Don't panic! Shoot them down! " Selena immediately said. The orc archers were not very good to begin with. Even with the terrain advantage, Selena was not very afraid. If both sides were to shoot at each other, the elves would definitely not panic.
The elves immediately began to fight back. As expected, when both sides were shooting at each other, the orc archers on this side of the mountain really did not have an advantage. They could still be shot while hiding behind the bushes. Moreover, the enemies were shooting from below, and the power was actually similar to the arrows they shot down.
"So that's how it is." Colbart had already considered this situation. He immediately waved his hand, and signaled the infantry to start advancing.
When Miley saw this, she said to Selena while shooting at the mountain, "The enemy's infantry is coming up."
"Shoot and retreat at the same time. Don't panic. We only have to worry about the cavalry," Selena said. Selena said. The elven troops were very powerful in positional battles. Only they could shoot while retreating, so Selena wasn't worried about the enemy's infantry at all.
The Elves obeyed the order and immediately began to retreat while firing. The Beastmen's infantry began to suffer casualties. Although the Beastmen had large shields, they couldn't defend against the enemy's tricky firing angles. Before long, a large number of Beastmen began to fall. The elves also began to slowly leave the shooting range of the orc archers on the mountain.
"Just like this, we'll slowly drag it out. We are not afraid of wasting time with them. We have time!" Selena said.
"Kill!" As soon as she finished speaking, a loud shout suddenly sounded. Selena was shocked because the shout was obviously from the orcs. Moreover, it came from the back of her team.
When she looked back, an orc infantry suddenly appeared at the back of her team and rushed directly towards them.
"What! That's impossible! "Selena was shocked. Where did this army come from? How could it be possible?
"Hahahahaha! Idiots! You've fallen into a trap! "Grolin laughed and said.
"Could it be …" Suddenly, Selena realized something.
"Yes! Our troops were already lying in ambush in the forest, but only the cavalry appeared. You thought that our ambush had been discovered, but in fact, there was an infantry team waiting for you inside. Hahahaha. " Grolin laughed and said, "This is our Marshal Colbart's strategy. Elves, it's not a shame that you lost! Cavalry! It's your turn! "
"Kill!" The wolf cavalry that had just appeared once again ran out from the orc camp in front of them and sped up to the front of the elves.
"Oh no!" Selena was anxious and sweating profusely. Now that they were being attacked from the front and back, the elves' advantage of retreating and fighting at the same time was gone. Their troops were originally smaller than the orcs, and this situation was simply on the verge of complete annihilation.
"Commander, what should we do?" Kerry leaned over and asked Selena.
"We … We …" Selena immediately observed the situation. There were troops in front and behind them, and the mountain wall was on the left. Now, only the right side had a place to run. "Troops, go to the right."
"Let's go!" Kerry immediately shouted.
"They went to the right …" Seeing the movements of the elves' troops, Grolin smiled at Colbart who was beside him.
"Everything is going according to plan." Colbart nodded. "Squeeze the elves' troops and reduce their numbers as much as possible. Drive them towards that direction."
"No problem," Grolin said with a smile.
