Chapter 234: orcs in the minefield

Seeing the bomb that is about to fall on the head, how can the orc team be stable?

"Lie down on the spot!" After the orc leader yelled loudly, he quickly jumped off his mount and lay down on the ground.

But it was too late, because they were cavalry not infantry. Most orcs don't react that fast, they can't just lie down like infantry, they have to jump off their mounts first. In such a short period of time, only a dozen or so wolf cavalry who followed the leader could do it.

In just a few seconds, as the explosive bombs in the sky fell to the ground, there was a rumbling sound. The wolf cavalry on the ground were frightened by their mounts, and scattered like a hornet's nest and ran around. What good will come of running around in a minefield? As a result, the pre-buried dwarf mines and goblin bombs in the minefield were also detonated one after another.

The strong explosion made the orc leader lying on the ground feel the ground tremble. The wolves couldn't calm down and ran in a panic, and the orc leader didn't even know where his mounts were now.

The elf griffin riders flew away after circling a few times in the sky. They dropped all the bombs they carried at the same time, and flew away quickly after confirming the results of the battle.

The bombs dropped from the sky explode in a very short time. However, the dwarf mines and goblin bombs on the ground did not explode at the same time. They were caused by scattered wolf cavalry and frightened wolves running around.

When sitting wolf detonated one, he was startled once, then ran around again when he was frightened, and detonated another one again. More than 200 and nearly 300 frightened sitting wolves ran around in the minefield, so the sound of explosions continued. The explosions were very dense at first, and then as the dwarf mines and goblin bombs continued to be consumed, the explosions began to gradually fade away.

"Don't run around, stop where you are!" The orc leader stood up and shouted loudly.

The orcs gradually settled down, standing here and there in a disorganized manner around the minefield, but they were all pale from fright and dared not move around at will. As far as the eye can see, the ground is full of wounded sitting wolves and orcs howling. The orc leader looked around for four weeks. Except for a dozen orcs who were unharmed, all of them were wounded, but the severity of the injuries varied.

These bombs, landmines, etc. are actually not very powerful. The upper body of the orc wolf cavalry is protected by fine steel plate armor, and those shrapnel can't penetrate the plate armor chest armor made of fine steel, and hit the vital point of the heart.

But other places are all mail armor and leather armor, and the shrapnel can be inserted into the flesh to a certain extent when it penetrates. Fortunately, these orcs who drank the blood of the demons had tough nerves and were able to hold back their injuries. In addition, the orcs have strong skin and thick flesh. Most of the places covered by these leather mail armors are not fatal, so most of them are just injured, but the severity of the injuries varies. On the contrary, the twenty or so beast cavalry who were lying down with him were trampled to death seven or eight soldiers because of the frenzy of their mounts and the running around of the whole team.

The mounts of the orcs, as well as the mount of the leader himself, are now unknown, but they must be among these scattered cavalry or sitting wolves. Because of the stability of the cavalry, those sitting wolves who had no one to ride gradually settled down. The battlefield seemed to stand still.

The orc cavalry are stable, and the sitting wolf is also stable. In fact, there is a wonderful connection between the cavalry and the mount. If the cavalry on the back is flustered, it will also affect the mount itself. And the sitting wolf is frightened by this kind of explosion on all sides, which will also affect the knight himself.

Seeing the stable team, the orc leader breathed a sigh of relief. Just settle down! This is a minefield, fear is panic. Now that the air threat is gone, it would be too bad if you are still stepping on mines in a panic. He didn't know how many people were seriously injured and how many people were slightly injured, how many sitting wolves could still walk, and how many sitting wolves were unable to walk. But he remembered the route taken by the ten-man team earlier, and there was no doubt that there would be no more danger in that route.

"Attention everyone!" The orc leader shouted loudly: "I and a dozen brothers around me called our mounts. They are scattered among you. I can't accurately judge Ann's position now. You must remember that they walked No matter what happens, you must not run around, so as not to trigger any new explosives." The orc leader shouted with grief in his heart.

"All the cavalry in the minefield got off their mounts. The dozen or so brothers and I took turns summoning the mounts. You must remember the routes they walked. When the mounts pass by, the brothers along the road will follow the route they walked. Note Stop, no matter what happens, don't run around, even if the wolf sitting next to you is frightened and runs away, don't move around." The orc leader ordered.

The orc sitting on the wolf's back got off his mount, calmly waiting for the next order, while constantly comforting the mount beside him.

The orc leader whistled.

A mighty warg came running towards him through the scattered crowd, and he fell to the ground instantly. Because he didn't know if there were bombs and mines nearby, he felt that he could avoid more damage in this way. Seeing his actions, the orcs followed suit and fell to the ground at the same time.

The orc leader's mount ran towards him in the scattered crowd, and the trajectory along the way was under the eyes of the orcs, raising a trail of smoke and dust, but miraculously, no bomb was sounded, and the orcs remembered that route.

The orc leader ordered UU Reading to follow the orcs near that route to follow the route that the sitting wolf walked. Along the way, he picked up the injured compatriots who were unable to move, and came to meet him. He led the remaining orc cavalry in the minefield, and walked out of the minefield along the path that the orc squad that had explored the way had walked. It's a pity that the orcs on this route didn't have a shaman inside, but there were two warlocks among them, who couldn't heal the injured orcs and sitting wolf for a while.

In this way, a dozen orcs lying down with him summoned their mounts one by one, and then let the orcs along the way retreat along the road, and then walked out of the minefield according to the route he took. Only two of the mounts detonated the bombs, but the flaws of the goblin bombs and gnome mines were exposed.

This defect of not being able to explode immediately was quickly discovered and seized by the orc leader. The two sitting wolves were only slightly injured, nothing serious. On the other hand, the cavalrymen who were ordered not to move around the landmines that were triggered were unlucky. Orcs can lie down on the ground and get less injuries, but because their mounts are too big, they still suffer a lot of damage even if they lie on the ground, screaming in pain. Under the appeasement of the orc cavalry, this barely kept stopping and did not run around.

By the time the orc leader gathered all the orcs who could come safely, almost two hours had passed. There are more than 20 sporadic orc cavalry who can walk without safe roads in the thunder formation. And a large group of wounded and unable to walk wounded soldiers and sitting wolves, as well as dead soldiers.

The orcs were protected by plate armor chests, but in fact, there were not many unlucky ghosts who were directly killed by the explosion. Only the shrapnel was embedded in the head, and they died immediately. Many dead orcs were either kicked off the wolf's back by their frightened mounts, and then trampled to death by other wolves. Either a foot got stuck in the saddle, and the warg was dragged to death by scurrying around the minefield.
