Volume 7 Mortals and Gods Chapter 780 Destruction (4)
Early the next morning, Katalin Khan personally led the Guards to take the lead and began to cross the river.
The temporary pontoon bridge was rickety and not very stable. However, the combat effectiveness of the orc army was indeed very poor. A small number of orc skirmishers on the other side tried to launch several attacks on the pontoon bridge, but were defeated by the bows and arrows of the prairie people.
In the afternoon, the grassland army's vanguard force of more than 10,000 people successfully crossed the Ergun River on a pontoon bridge and reached the other side of the river.
The other side of the river is already in a mess. It has been ravaged by the orc army many times. The grassland towns that used to be prosperous are now ruins and debris. There are tents and ruins set up by the orcs and trophies piled randomly everywhere.
There are many orc tents gathered around Lachhof. There are many of them, but they are also very messy.
The level of these orc troops is really unflattering. They watched the prairie people build a bridge across the river, but the vast majority of them really just watched and did nothing!
After the prairie people rushed over, this ragtag group of less than a thousand people quickly became chaotic.
Most of these orcs don't even wear armor, and many of them only have an ax or a wooden stick in their hands!
They are already starting to waver!
The core reason is that the uniforms of the Guards at the front were exactly the same as those of the charr army and the standard equipment obtained from the charr, which caused misunderstandings among the orcs. After all, the orcs wanted to identify them.
It is really difficult for them to make some differences in details.
There was one who took two axes from the ground and charged towards the Prairie Army Long Live:
"For the glory of the orcs!"
Some grabbed their trophies and ran away: "The human cubs are coming! Run away!"
Some people dropped their bowls and ran for their lives in the middle of eating: "I won't fight, I want to go home!"
The mob was in chaos, half of the orcs approached and fled, while the other half picked up weapons and rushed towards the grassland army in groups of three to five!
"Form up!" Semyonov, commander of the Guards, shouted loudly: "Get ready to meet the enemy!"
The Guards were a little shaken when they saw the ferocious appearance of the orcs, and the team began to become scattered. In an instant, more than 3,000 of the original 5,000-strong army retreated desperately, and only less than 2,000 people lined up to face the enemy.
And what about the remaining prairie troops?
These soldiers were brave and worked hard. However, the moment the two sides came into close combat, these tired soldiers who used inferior weapons and repaired the pontoon bridge all night were almost completely defeated in just a few minutes of close combat. All the soldiers subconsciously turned towards
Escape to where the floating bridge is!
The entire battlefield instantly became a mess!
The 20,000 grassland army was on the verge of collapse almost instantly! They were chased and beaten by hundreds of orc warriors!
"Steady! Steady!"
Katalin Khan was riding on a white horse and yelled angrily. He waved his whip and shouted at his guards:
"Warriors of the grassland, my Guards! Are your spears broken? Are your swords curled? And are your bows and arrows just decorations?"
After saying that, Katalin Khan drew out his rune sword—Soika's Soul:
"Descendants of the Prairie King, heirs of Ice and Snow, my Guards, in the name of the Catalin family, I call on you to attack! Drive these orcs out of our land, our home!"

Katalin Khan personally launched a speech before the war, which greatly inspired the morale of the army, especially the Guards.
Hearing the voice of Katalin Khan, the morale of the Guardsmen recovered slightly and no longer wavered. The Guardsmen who still stood at their positions began to load their crossbows and rearrange themselves.
Katalin Khan breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this, and Katalin Khan couldn't help feeling a little proud.
He copied this trick from Archduke Charles. According to the large amount of information he obtained about Archduke Gross and Archduke Fiona, they appeared in person in front of the soldiers to boost morale in every battle, and
Give a speech.
The invincible knights of Charles will burst out with their greatest loyalty and fighting power, sweeping away all powerful enemies like a furious storm!
Never fail!
Crush everything!
Understood, just copy it and that’s it. You can give speeches and boost morale, but I, Katalin Khan, can’t?
Kill the Guards for me!
It has to be said that Catalin Khan also learned some lessons from history. After the formation of the Guards, Catalin Khan became more concerned about it and personally trained them many times. At the same time, he also let them conduct a certain number of exercises and exercises.
Actual combat.

The standard equipment of the Charr is the highest quality weaponry and equipment in the entire quasi-nation, and the same is true for the crossbows. With one volley, hundreds of orcs were knocked down on the spot, and the remaining ones fought hand to hand with the guards.
At first, the Guards were defeated steadily by the orcs who were wearing only pants and slashing and killing with weapons.
However, everyone soon discovered that the low-quality weapons of the orcs were unable to cut through their shields, breastplates and armguards! They could only leave a mark on them! The weapons used by Charr could easily tear apart the shields of these stragglers.
flesh!
understood!
Let’s go to the line with the orcs!
The Guards withstood the wave for a while, and Katalin Khan yelled desperately, asking the soldiers to come back and regroup.
The grassland army saw that the orcs were actually defeated. After they all fled to the pontoon bridge, they finally started to regroup. The entire battlefield was in a mess. It may have taken the grassland army more than two hours to regroup.
So what is Zan Aike doing at this time?
"Go up! Go up! Come up here!"
The Death God's Chosen Champion also roared at the top of his lungs, urging them to flee. The panic-stricken orc warriors rushed forward. The enemy was gathering their troops. This was a perfect opportunity!

However, it doesn't work if Death chooses the champion, because its previous tragic failure has made the orcs no longer believe in it.
Most of the elite troops have either been wiped out or have withdrawn to the northern wastelands.
Most of the remaining orc warriors were miscellaneous fish or opportunists. No matter how hard Zan'ek tried, the tide of defeat could hardly be stopped.
The defeated army hugged the defeated army, and more than 3,000 of the nine thousand orcs it had worked hard to gather ran away in an instant, and the rest were also shaking and collapsing.
"Ahhh!"
Zan'ec, who seemed extremely angry, finally used extreme means to maintain the front line. It summoned a wall of fire that stretched for hundreds of meters, blocking all the orcs who tried to retreat!
Any orc warrior who tries to touch the wall of fire will be burned to ashes by the colorful flames of death. More orcs die in the flames than were killed by the prairie army!
Through this method, Zan Aike finally maintained the battle line, but nearly two hours had passed. The grassland army finally regrouped under the command of Katalin Khan and the generals, formed an array, and headed towards
Rachhoff comes over!
Both sides are in a state of unstable morale. The grassland troops are forced to advance despite the whips of the war team and the scoldings of Katalin Khan, while Zan Ek's army relies on the spells it continuously releases.
He barely managed to maintain the front line by blocking his retreat!
The two sides faced off again. What looked like a fierce battle on the ruins of Lachhof was actually only the one or two thousand men at the front who were fighting. The chaotic orcs were at a loss when facing the advancing steppe army.

Zan Aike looked at this scene and sighed in his heart, thinking that he should go according to the plan.
"snowstorm!"
Katalin Khan released a blizzard. Under the protection of the ice and snow guard, Katalin Khan cast spells continuously. He waved his staff: "Ice Element!"
Katalin Khan is a saint-level magician. Although his military and political abilities can be said to be a mess, his personal strength is still very powerful.
A dozen ice elements appeared in the Ergun River, which was floating with a large amount of broken ice. They formed the shape of humans, rushed up the river bank, and rushed towards the orcs.
"Ring of Ice!" Katalin Khan released the second spell, and an entire ring froze hundreds of orc warriors to the ground, and many orcs were frozen to pieces on the spot.
"Demon invasion!"
Not to be outdone, Zan'ec immediately summoned a small army of Death Demons to fight against the ice elements summoned by Katalin Khan.
It stretched out its two hands under its body and wrote frantically in the Big Book of Death. Soon, the ice circle was cracked by Zan'ek. The spell disappeared on the spot, and the trapped orcs were rescued.
.
The morale of the grassland army suddenly wavered, and the invincible ice magic actually failed!
However, Zan'ec's actions of summoning the orc demon and breaking the ice magic seemed to distract him. Just as he was casting the spell, the wall of fire that was used to forcibly prevent the orc army from escaping suddenly disappeared.
"The wall of fire is gone! The wall of fire is gone!" Someone among the orcs shouted: "The wall of fire is gone!"
"Retreat! There are too many enemies!"
"We failed!"
The morale of the orc army collapsed again. Zan'ek's army was defeated. They fled in all directions, were driven out of Lachhof, and fled towards the north. Zan'ek himself seemed to have no choice but to be driven to the grassland.
The army was forced to retreat.
Finally, Katalin Khan's steppe army successfully occupied Lakhov.
