As the battle continues, Marcus discovers that he is not underestimating the strength of the Orcs but that he has it with the elves and the gunners.
Indeed, 300 grunts would not be able to produce much if there were no elf archers and dwarf shooters supporting them and causing many casualties. Marcus' side suffered a loss— not because of the Orcs, but because of the elves and dwarves.
Grunt was no less capable but there was a limit to how many people they could fight at any given time. Marcus wanted to rely on their mage to destroy the orc formation and then go ahead with his soldiers to finish off the orcs for good. However, Tyrande and the sniper had killed the magician before he had time to act.
Moreover, the elf archers used Shadow Escape which made them invisible. As a result, Marcus still did not know how many archers Xiao Yu had. What's more, the existence of the “magic” weapon used by the shooters has left him at a disadvantage.
Xiao Yu used the advantage of the plateau perfectly. The archers were elites and a great threat to Marcus. He clearly understood that he would face defeat if the battle continued in this manner.
The world was still in the era of cold weapons, so Marcus was unfamiliar with the power that long-range weapons could play in warfare. As a modern man, Xiao Yu knew and understood how to use long-range attacks to his advantage.
Napoleon had also advocated the use of centralized heavy weapons in long-range attacks to suppress his enemies. As long as one side was able to suppress the other party then victory was only a step away.
As a result, the grunts and hooligans were not part of Xiao Yu's army in this death-giving battle, but the archers and the gunners.
Riflemen had neither the flexibility nor the speed of the archer. In the span of time when a dwarf could fire a bullet, an elven archer could fire five arrows. However, the power of bullets was enough to suppress and even kill warriors who were cultivating battle energy, so both of them played an important role.
Xiao Yu also thought that as long as he had a mage, bachelor, cavalry, and warrior then he would be able to deal with an army consisting of hundreds of thousands— or even millions— warriors.
Unfortunately, the number of troops was limited. The only thing he could do right now was to diversify his army. Otherwise, he would have suffered defeat long ago.
"Retreat! Back off!" Marcus is smart enough to understand that the battle cannot continue like this or his death will get closer. He quickly ordered the bandits to retreat. Marcus was afraid of the archer Xiao Yu.
Marcus was furious and, simultaneously, depressed. This was his own camp but the enemy used the wall he had built to fight against himself. If he controlled the wall from the start then even that strong archer would not be able to do anything to him. However, Xiao Yu was now using this wall as a weapon against Marcus.
Xiao Yu was clever enough to observe the battlefield before the battle.
Xiao Yu was aware that the other party had cavalry that could easily pass through his 300 grunts and reach his archers. This was the reason he decided to take control of the wall first and start the battle afterwards.
If he directly fought the bandits and surrounded the camp, he would face the same fate. The archers and dwarves would not be able to suppress the patrolmen from a distance. The chances of the grunts successfully climbing and getting into the walls would be much smaller.
Xiao Yu knew and understood the weakness of his troops. Nevertheless, he has become the winner of a Warcraft competition that is followed by many elite players. He has used tactics like the one he uses now and many other advanced tactics to win the game. Although there were many differences between the real world and the game, Xiao Yu's understanding of the situation was one step ahead as this backward world still used cold weapons.
Xiao Yu did not catch up when Marcus ordered his bandits to retreat. Xiao Yu understood that he would not be the opponent of the enemy once he lost the wall.
Nevertheless, Xiao Yu's army was able to kill around 600 bandits during the initial stage while chaos raged. After that, Marcus lost over 1,000 more bandits. In total, Marcus had lost 2,000 bandits, including a witch and her 5 warriors.
Either Tyrande or a shooter had killed each of the 5 warriors who had developed battle energy.
“Xiao Yu! I will remember your name forever! I will slaughter your Singamu city after I kill you here!” Mark was angry. He had never experienced such a huge failure since he started his robbing career. In less than half an hour he had lost nearly 2,000 bandits. The camp in total had less than 5,000; this figure meant he had lost half of his men.
Xiao Yu shouted when he saw the bandits out of the range of the archers: “Hei! Descendants of humans and animals! I thought you wanted to kill me and slaughter the Lion City! What joke! I was chosen by the Fairy God, the Orc God, and the Dwarf God as the King of Kings! I will rule the world so bow down or die! Do you still intend to continue this fight against me?
Xiao Yu was no stranger to quarrels and curses since he was an avid gamer. He has met many players who will use interesting methods to talk about other people's nonsense and change their emotions. He has met a lot of trolls online. In short, he was invincible in this area. How could only Marcus be his opponent?
"King of all kings? Ye? I'll peel your skin today! Prepare the heavy cavalry! ” Marcus's face was grim as he ordered his bandits.
The equipment worn by heavy cavalry troops and horses required a certain amount of time to prepare. The night raid was an ambush so the cavalry could not be immediately taken out. However, they were ready now and waiting for Marcus' orders.
In the era of cold weapons, heavy cavalry was the most important part of the army. A heavy cavalry team could directly break through the enemy formation. The infantry would follow them and slaughter the remaining people. It was possible to win a full victory that way.
In many major battles, the two sides would face each other with heavy cavalry. The side that beats the other wins.
Ordinary bandit groups had no money to support heavy cavalry. Although the cavalry were strong, having them was expensive. A good unit of heavy cavalry consists of trained soldiers, specially selected horses, good equipment, and so on. In short, an average heavy cavalry unit with a soldier and a horse would cost thousands of gold coins. Marcus had accumulated his fortune for over a decade, but he was still only able to nurture 300 units of heavy cavalry. However, just this 300 cavalry had helped him win against many opponents.
The horses started to rush forward. Having such a heavy cavalry force was a symbol of strength for this bandit group.
At the same time, the back of the camp was still on fire. Although Marcus had sent people to handle it, doing so was not an easy matter. Marcus had to end the battle as soon as possible and kill Xiao Yu so that they could put out the fire in time. Otherwise, the camp he had built for over a dozen years would turn into ashes.

300 Heavy cavalry gathered. The ground slightly trembled as the cavalry moved.
Ordinary horses were not meant for heavy cavalry units. You have to walk thousands of miles to find it. The horse must be very strong; enough so that it can wear this heavy armor.
As a result, buying horses for heavy cavalry had a huge headache for marcus.
The heavy cavalry commander led his troops to a standstill about 300 steps away from the wall. They stopped in formation.
"Fill it and kill the orc!" Marcus's face twitched as he commanded them. He knew that his losses would be great even if he killed Xiao Yu. In Marcus' perspective, Xiao Yu was too despicable because he had even burned his camp.
…
…
Xiao Yu narrowed his eyes as he looked at the heavy cavalry troops. A dangerous light flashed past his eyes.
“Good if I have two Glaive Throwers and rifles. Otherwise, it would be impossible to just use grunts and archers to kill heavy cavalry.”
Xiao Yu waved his hand and the four grunts quietly did two Glaive Throwers from behind.
"Resigning charges!" Markus commanded.
