After realizing the truth, Saurfang did not dare to pursue again. He was afraid that his wolf cavalry would be worn down by the enemy's arrows little by little.
If all the wolf cavalry under my command are wiped out and these alliance cavalry are not taken down, then it will really be a loss of both my wife and my troops.
"Retreat, everyone, retreat now! Don't be consumed by the enemy!"
Without hesitation, Saurfang issued this order.
The rest of the wolf cavalry also woke up.
However, even for cavalry, it is not a simple matter to retreat directly.
As we all know, cavalry charges very fast. But the ability to make emergency turns and U-turns is not very strong.
Especially now, the number of wolf cavalry is very large and crowded, and it is impossible to turn around directly.
Therefore, they can only follow the wolf cavalry in the front row and draw a large arc. , turned around and fled.
After Ye Ting discovered this, he immediately led the cavalry to turn around and chased the wolf cavalry in turn.
Their number was smaller and their discipline was far greater than that of the wolf cavalry, so it was much easier for the entire army to turn around.
Soon, they caught up with the escaping wolf cavalry and began to chase after them.
Compared with turning around and shooting, front-facing bow cavalry was easier for these ranger-turned-cavalry archers. Therefore, the escaping wolves At the end of the cavalry team, the screams of orcs or wargs would be heard from time to time, and then the number would be reduced. He had clearly retreated, but the enemy was pursuing them even further. Saurfang was first surprised, and then angry. They The tribe's wolf cavalry should be so angry.
I can't catch up with you, so I'll be consumed by you. It's okay for me to leave - you dare to chase me when you can't beat me head-on. It's really shameless!
After all, even if Seeing that the situation was not going well and running away, this group of orc wolf cavalry headed by Saurfang still had their own glory in their hearts.
Now they are being chased by an army they think is weaker than themselves. How can they bear this anger?
Immediately, Saurfang Fall then led the wolf cavalry to change direction again, preparing to fight to the death with the alliance horse archers who were chasing them.
However, when the wolf cavalry made a large circle and turned in the direction of the horse archers, this group of"shameless" opponents also turned. He turned in a certain direction and seemed to be escaping again.
However, he said that he was escaping. In fact, the horse archers did not fall too far behind the wolf cavalry. Instead, they deliberately kept a relatively close distance, seeming to tempt them to pursue again.
Saurfang Of course, they chased for a while, but unfortunately, apart from being consumed by the opponent's turning back and shooting, and dozens of wolf cavalry killed and injured, nothing was gained.
When things developed to this point, no matter how stupid Saurfang was, he should have seen the true intentions of the enemy. Tactics - not to mention, he is an excellent commander in every aspect.
The enemy's cavalry archers, the real tactics are to use the mobility of the cavalry to keep a distance from the opponent, attract the opponent to pursue them, and turn around to shoot. This method consumes the enemy's strength, and when the enemy can't stand it anymore and runs away, he will pursue it.
Facing such an opponent, his wolf cavalry can't make progress now. They can't catch up if they want to, and they are chased by the opponent if they want to run. It can be said that they are trapped. In the end
, Saurfang's choice is to leave as soon as possible.
If he wants to really deal with these bows
, Saurfang will not consider winning a big victory to restore Orgrim's reputation. His only choice now is What they are looking forward to is to successfully bring these wolf cavalry back to the camp. This is the greatest victory.
However, with such a good opportunity, how could Ye Ting let them go?
The archers naturally attacked the wolf cavalry. Catching up.
Finally, as this pursuit of each other continued, the disadvantage of the Wolf Cavalry in terms of endurance finally became apparent.
Their speed began to slow down, but the horses under the horse archers were able to move with ease.
This plunged all the wolf cavalry into despair. The wails of those killed by arrows at the rear of the team were like a reminder, foretelling their future fate. The wolf cavalry all wished that the wargs under their crotches had wings on their backs so that they could fly directly to respond.
Unfortunately this is not possible.
Compared with facing the enemy head-on when chasing horse archers, being chased by horse archers is more dangerous for wolf cavalry.
Neither the wolf cavalry nor the warg could protect their backs.
For the arrows coming from behind, the orcs basically have no chance to resist or dodge, and the mortality rate is greatly increased.
Even if they are not dead, many of these orcs will fall off the back of the warg like a gourd after being hit by arrows, and they will not be able to get up for a long time.
When being chased, the situation is even worse than before.
The horse archers behind will rush up quickly, and then use their sharp elf swords or long knives to easily kill the wolf cavalry cavalry.
Of course, in the end, Saurfang successfully escaped from Ye Ting's horse archers, and even more than two thousand of his wolf cavalry were spared.
However, the real reason for their survival is their numbers.
There are more than five thousand wolf cavalry, which is not a lot.
Considering that orcs are more resistant and more difficult to kill, it is understandable that the archers did not do their best.
However, although Ye Ting and his horse archers were not completely victorious in this battle against the wolf cavalry, the impact of this battle was far-reaching.
As far as the horse archers themselves are concerned, in this battle, they really used this powerful kiting tactic on the battlefield for the first time. In the process, they actually tested and corrected the tactics, correcting the mistakes of many novices. Mistake, I believe that if they use this tactic again in the future, they will be able to exert greater lethality.
In the tribe, this war also caused a considerable shock to the orcs.
Most of the Wolf Cavalry was lost, and the important Bodgor settlement was destroyed. Although Orgrim's prestige was greatly reduced, the ambitious people under his command began to make moves.
However, Ye Tingjun's own shock to the tribe temporarily suppressed the potential chaos of the tribe - the spearhead was temporarily pointed at this unprecedented and invincible horse archer.
With this army galloping across the Arathi Highlands, the tribe finally realized that it was not that easy for them to occupy this land for a long time and establish effective production and rule.
Orgrim has since realized that there is no danger to defend the situation, and he has considered sending a large number of troops to garrison various places in the Arathi Highlands to prepare for another Alliance raid.
However, after this victory, Ye Ting gave up on the good news and took the team directly back to Thoradin's Wall to rest, only then did the tribe come to nothing.
In fact, he also saw the situation that the tribe was facing now, and now he is temporarily withdrawing his troops. On the one hand, he considered that the tribe should react and avoid being targeted by the tribe, so he left.
On the other hand, he also wanted to slow down the pace of the entire war and slightly reduce the external pressure on the tribe, thereby detonating chaos within the tribe.
This potential chaos has always existed in the tribe, a society where the strong is respected. They will choose the strongest person as their leader, but if the leader continues to face failures, the leader will lose prestige, which will eventually lead to a new struggle for dominance. _Feilu reminds you: three things about reading - collection, recommendation,
