Seeing the cloud suddenly parting, the prince knew that the troops in front were going to suffer, but he had no way to do it. The orcs' arrows did not all fall at angles. In addition to regular diagonal shots, there were also projectiles, and they were thrown at the orcs' side.

There were also crossbow arrows fired horizontally on the front of the formation, and the orcs who had already drawn their weapons actually also had long-range weapons, which really surprised the prince.

Facing the arrows at different angles, the orders of each troop captain were also different. Some ordered to raise the shield, some ordered to erect the shield, and some ordered to evade freely. The complicated orders made the soldiers not sure how to deal with it.

Some soldiers who heard and carried out the order stood up or raised their shields, praying in their hearts that the shields would work.

When the Kotler Imperial Army fell into chaos, dark arrows finally fell on the soldiers' heads like a rainstorm. The sharp arrows pierced the soldiers' thin armor without any hindrance and penetrated deeply into the flesh.

, tearing apart all obstacles encountered.

The screams immediately resounded through the entire front army after the smoking utensils were dropped. The soldiers were like wheat fields pushed down by the strong wind. Several large blank areas suddenly appeared in the front army's square formation. The orcs' combined archery skills were only

It lasted four times and caused nearly 20,000 casualties to the Kotler Empire.

The prince looked at the crawling soldiers and finally realized that if this continued, without rushing in front of the opponent, the arrow rain might be enough to cause the soldiers of the front army to collapse. The collapse of the front army would definitely lead to chaos in the entire phalanx, so the prince directly

Order everyone to charge!

Since the lethality of the arrow rain is too great, then just rush over. In the melee, the opponent will naturally throw a rat weapon. After the order is put down, the charge horn sound spreads throughout the battlefield. The shield soldiers of the front army immediately raise their shields and let them

The light infantry hiding under the shields quickly passed through.

If we continue to advance slowly like this, the casualties of the front army will be beyond imagination. Instead of being eaten away bit by bit, it is better to just give it a try.

The light infantry who left the protection of the shields advanced quickly in the rain of arrows. Although many people fell to the ground after being hit by arrows, the casualties were significantly reduced in comparison, and the sudden charge quickly shortened the distance between the two armies.

At this time, the orc soldiers also began to move. Under the cover of their own arrows, they began to slowly gather together. However, unlike the human army, the space for the orc team to gather was very large. The distance between the two orcs

It already exceeded two meters, and everyone was stunned by this sparse square formation.

Seeing this situation, the generals of the former army were naturally overjoyed and ordered the light infantry to speed up. After speeding up again, they were less than fifty meters away from the orc phalanx. At this time, the same thing happened behind the orc phalanx.

There was a low sound of horns, accompanied by rhythmic drum beats.

After hearing these two sounds, the orcs took a step towards the center of the phalanx at the same time. The originally sparse phalanx suddenly became a little tighter. After three drums, the orcs of different heights also began to rush towards Kurt.

The front army formation of the Ledi Army accelerated at the same time on both sides, and the distance was immediately shortened. At this time, the Kotler Empire's archery troops fired two waves of arrows, quickly covering the orc troops.

The charging orcs completely ignored the threat from the sky and just charged forward with their heads down.

When the arrows rained down, apart from the clanging sound, and apart from the shouts of charging, there was not a single scream from the orc troops. This scene made Kotler's former soldiers a little frightened. It was not that the orcs were not hit.

It was an arrow, but after the empire's feather arrows passed through the gap, they were directly ignored by the thick-skinned orcs. After pulling out the feather arrows, they charged forward even more violently.

In an almost blinding moment, the two teams, both charging at full strength, were like two huge waves crashing into each other. The flying water splashes and the collision mist were all made of blood.

Screams, shouts, and violence... filled every corner of the battlefield. The two armies finally fell into chaotic hand-to-hand combat. However, the former generals soon discovered that this chaos did not bring any benefits to their own side. The power of the orcs

They are inherently superior to humans. When the two sides collided, the soldiers in the front army fell instantly, and the orcs' impact speed actually showed signs of accelerating after a brief stagnation!

Although the battlefield chosen by Fengya usually looks very wide, after tens of thousands of people were crammed here, it immediately seemed extremely crowded. The orc troops were tightly formed, like a triangular blade directly inserted into tofu, except for the beginning

It stagnated, and then became faster and faster. Each orc was an efficient killing machine. These small killing machines came together to form a giant meat grinder, which began to slowly lick the Kotler Empire's former military formation.

Because the orcs attacked too fast, they quickly reached the center of the front army. At this time, the generals of the front army ordered the soldiers on both sides to encircle the orcs. When the infantry on both sides closed the gap, they began to move inward.

Squeeze, seeing the former army complete the encirclement, both the general and the prince secretly breathed a sigh of relief. As long as they are surrounded, the human sea tactic can consume these nearly 50,000 orc warriors, right?

But as time went by, the prince discovered that things did not develop as he imagined. The 50,000 orcs formed a circular defense formation surrounded by the former army, and they were still rotating slowly, with their natural strength.

This advantage makes the orcs' movements rarely stagnant for a long time. Even if the general leading the team rushes forward, he is directly repulsed. By the time he rushes forward, the opponent has been replaced by another person who wants to inflict fatal blows to the orcs individually.

It is almost impossible to get injured. Whenever an orc is injured, someone will take his place, and the injured orc will retreat to the center of the formation.

Once attacked by a rain of arrows, the huge circular square formation will immediately split into countless small defensive formations. After the rain of arrows, the small formations will start to break out randomly and then gather together. This process is extremely fast. If there is no super high battle formation awareness,

, simply cannot do this. This kind of battle formation that divides and combines is like a magic water balloon. If broken, it can still come together and cause huge damage to the enemy.

"The Chinese army is pressing forward!"

By the time the orcs' circular battle formation gathered together for the third time and began to slowly rotate, more than half of the soldiers in the front army had been killed. Although the encirclement was still maintained, the defenses in some areas had become somewhat weak.

They were in a critical situation. If it weren't for the arrow rain, these orc troops of less than 40,000 people might have broken out of the encirclement.

The Chinese army is mainly heavy infantry. Because of the obstruction of the first line of defense, it takes a long time for them to enter the battlefield. It can be said that it is neither too early nor too late to enter the battlefield. The former army still maintains this encirclement, while the Chinese army begins to be selective.

When attacking the orcs' defense formation in one direction, the heavy infantry's defense was several times that of the light infantry. Therefore, as soon as they entered the battlefield to confront the orcs, they directly caused casualties to the orcs. Seeing this scene, the former soldiers on the outside of the encirclement circle

Their morale was boosted. After fighting for so long, they finally saw relatively large-scale battle losses among the orcs. The nervous soldiers finally found a balance.

The soldiers found a balance, but the prince's face was still gloomy. Taylor knew without waiting for the battle damage report that since the melee began, the battle damage ratio between the imperial soldiers and the orc soldiers had been maintained at a ratio of six to one, and even if it was

Now that the Chinese army is pressing forward, the battle loss ratio remains at four to one. In less than two hours, the empire has lost nearly 80,000 people. The soldiers on the battlefield are fighting on corpses strewn on the ground. If their feet slip,

It is impossible to stand up, and then these soldiers will be trampled by other soldiers, trampled to death, and eventually turned into corpses lying on the ground, becoming an obstacle for both sides.

The prince frowned here, but in the orc headquarters, Feng Ya had already started to curse, "What are you waiting for? The second attack group comes on me and knocks off these iron shells!" The orc troops were sent out first.

They are also light infantry, and tauren warriors who are known for their strength account for nearly 80%. For humans, the armor equipped by tauren is already the standard for heavy infantry, but for tauren, it is a piece of cake, and the rest

Twenty percent are ratmen, werewolves, and some pig-headed men. These units are included in the first attack group as a supplement to combat power, and the durability of the battle is somewhat worse than that of the tauren.

After seeing that the opponent had deployed heavy infantry and caused casualties to the troops, Feng Ya knew that it was no longer possible to use the circular zigzag battle formation to kill the opponent's troops, so the first attack group was really surrounded this time, and he was also surrounded.

The second group must be dispatched for rescue. At this time, the so-called geographical advantage also began to show signs of limiting the orc troops.

"Did I choose the wrong place?" After only two or three figures were left in the tent, Fengya suddenly sighed and said. Bellows and Malos were stunned after hearing this, and then shook their heads in relief to express their denial.

In terms of terrain, there is no place in the Kadan Hills that is more suitable for defense than the current terrain. This pass is roughly funnel-shaped, and the side facing the Kotler Empire is an open end. The number of people this battlefield can accommodate

There are only about 100,000 people at most. The formations that the Kotler Empire's army can deploy here are limited, and the ground is sloped. The attacking side will consume more physical strength. This is also a hidden reason why the first attack group can cut in quickly.

one.

Fengxang knew that Fengya felt guilty because he saw the casualties of the first attack group, and thus wavered in his idea. Due to terrain restrictions, the number of the second attack group was even smaller, just reaching 30,000, and because of the different types of arms,

Problem, terrain has become the biggest constraint.

In fact, when he saw the enemy's heavy infantry appearing, Feng Ya had already ordered the second attack group to set off. The initial order was not to rescue, but to replace. It was just that the second group was all cavalry, plus the second line of defense.

Blocked by the ruins, the troops could not even move as fast as the infantry. After the troops were assembled, the casualties of the orc infantry phalanx were irreversible.

Seeing the first group of orc warriors turn from being at ease to struggling to support themselves, the general leading the group turned green in the face and rushed out without saying a word. Behind him, the horn of charge sounded again.

Wolf Cavalry!

The prince jumped up from his seat with a loud sound, a look of shock on his face. At this time, the empire's cavalry had not crossed the first line of defense and could not support them. The empire's front and center troops were all held back by the orc infantry and could not form a defensive formation.
