Chapter 86 The Battle of the Manor
Although the battle has not yet started, Luo Yi has already firmly believed in victory.

Orcs have no shields and no bows and arrows. Facing bow and arrow attacks, they can neither defend in place nor counterattack.It is impossible for the orcs to stay in place under such circumstances, otherwise they will be shot to death one by one.

If facing human infantry shooting arrows, the orcs can settle the battle with a single charge.But in the face of bow cavalry, the orcs basically have nothing to do.

It may be that the number of human archers in previous large-scale battles was too small to show this advantage.However, in a small-scale battle where the combined numbers of the two sides were only in the early [-]s, the eighteen cavalry bow cavalry already seemed a lot.

It can be said that even if Luo Yi only leads the Eighteen Archers, he can still win the final victory by flying a kite.

The time it takes to fly a kite to solve a battle is related to the morale of the enemy.

The orcs were invincible when they came to this world, and they had already become arrogant soldiers, otherwise they would not have rushed out of the manor on their own initiative.Since they are arrogant soldiers, their morale cannot be expected to collapse easily.

But since the battle can be resolved quickly, Luo Yi has no reason to procrastinate.

So Luo Yi jumped off his horse, holding half of his sword backwards and sprinting towards the orcs.

When the orcs saw that the bow rider was shooting arrows at their own side, they were ready to charge. When they saw Luo Yi rushing towards their own side, they rushed towards Luo Yi with howls, as if they had suffered a great humiliation.

Luo Yi is like a hard-working farmer harvesting rice, quickly and efficiently harvesting the passing rice.Where the farmer went, the rice fell down one after another.

Although Luo Yi showed unimaginable killing efficiency, the orcs howled even more furiously when they saw their companions fall one by one.The howling expressed not fear, but anger.

The orcs swarmed towards Luo Yi like crazy, even completely ignoring the bow rider who was not far away.As a result, there seemed to be an unstoppable storm around Luo Yi, churning together like a maelstrom.

In the center of the vortex, Luo Yi dodged from left to right in a small space, continuously stabbing and blocking like lightning—Luo Yi did the blocking out of instinct, but in fact, if he took advantage of the nano-protective suit, the killing efficiency would be lower. can be higher.

This dizzying battle lasted but a moment before the cavalry, who had shifted to the flanks, made a sudden charge.

The light cavalry passed by like the wind, leaving a series of terrible moans and screams on the battlefield as they passed by.The orcs felled by long swords and long-handled axes, and the orcs pierced by spears did not die for a while due to their tenacious vitality. They instinctively let out a miserable howl when they were dying, which made the living orcs feel horrified.

Frontal bow riding feels that the efficiency of using bows and arrows is not high.The lethality of cavalry bows is not high, and the sights of archers shooting arrows on horseback are not ideal.Orcs, on the other hand, don't even scream unless they're fatally shot.

Therefore, the bow riders in the front put away their bows and arrows, and after the companions on the side penetrated the battlefield, they also spontaneously launched a surprise attack.

The orcs were attacked relentlessly twice in a row, and they didn't even know which direction to face, whether to attack or defend.

Luo Yi, who was under siege before, was greatly relieved at this moment.With more space to dodge, the number of times he used to block decreased, and the number of times he used to stab or chop increased.As a result, the encirclement circle around him became more and more sparse.

The light cavalry were not without injuries. Some had both the enemy's blood and their own blood on them. Some even had dented armor, and some had broken spears or long swords.But fortunately no one was killed in battle, and no one was even crippled by serious injuries.They gritted their teeth and launched a second round of raids like crazy.

After this surprise attack, the orc with the highest status in the manor also died under Luo Yi's sword.

The orcs have completely lost all organization.

But the fight goes on.Most orcs would rather die than surrender.About a third of the orcs would rather flee than surrender.

Those who preferred death to surrender died.Luo Yi can kill the enemy with a high efficiency with one enemy, but how can he defeat the enemy with a large number?

Orcs who would rather flee than surrender also died.

Light cavalry can do many jobs, and chasing and defeating the enemy is one of the jobs that light cavalry is best at.Therefore, none of the orcs who tried to escape could escape into the manor alive.

The battle is completely over.

The enemy was wiped out.As for one's own battle losses, one was killed and one was seriously injured. The one who was seriously injured could survive tonight.

Although Luo Yi and the war dead had never spoken, the war dead was fighting for him after all, so Luo Yi's mood was quite complicated.

This battle is very different from the last one.

Last time there were more than 100 orcs. Although the orcs were connected in batches to die, Luo Yi killed sixty orcs by himself.

But this time, Luo Yi was surrounded from the very beginning. Fortunately, there were cavalrymen who could share the pressure.

However, the cavalry suffered damage during the battle, which frustrated Luo Yi's idea of ​​a perfect victory.

Compare the two battles.

In terms of equipment, last time the orcs mainly used weapons made of wooden sticks and obsidian, basically without armor.But this time the orcs mostly used iron weapons, a few orcs wore leather armor, and even a few orcs wore helmets, and they also wore iron collars around their necks to protect their throats.

Presumably, it was because after the orcs occupied the manor, they forced the captive humans to serve them, so the level of equipment was improved.

In terms of fighting will, this time the orcs are also stronger.Luo Yi suspected that this was because the orcs regarded the manor as their own home.So even without the slightest hope of victory, most orcs still fought desperately.The beleaguered orcs even caused one death and one serious injury to the light cavalry.

Although it is said that Ci does not command soldiers, taking down a manor will cost almost two people in battle.Luo Yi currently only has so few subordinates, it really hurts.

After a fierce battle is over, a necessary rest is required both physically and psychologically.So the light cavalry occupied the manor.

Luo Yi thought about how to deal with the issue of the manor alone.

Now that the manor has been conquered, it seems a pity if it is not defended.After all, even for guerrilla warfare, a base is needed.

But for defense, how can there be extra troops?
Is it possible to leave a few light cavalry stationed after occupying a manor?Doing so clearly violates the principle of concentrated use of troops.

Send messengers back to the Sasan Kingdom, let Mitchell send someone to manage the manor?

There are two difficulties in doing this.

First, are there any nobles in the Sasang Kingdom who dare to come to the Goethe Kingdom to serve.

Second, if there are nobles who dare to take up the post, unless Luo Yi accepts the nobles who come to take the post as vassals, is this manor considered a colony of the Sasang Kingdom, or a territory directly under Luo Yi?
How about just doing nothing and destroying the manor?
