On June 24, Baron Harden sent a military order, requiring the Sixth Squadron to pass through the canyon passage, and together with the Platos Castle defenders and the Baron Cavalry Regiment, defeat the orc commander Gunderson's troops in one fell swoop.
Set the stage for victory in the direction of Platos.
There were more than 30 wounded soldiers who returned at about the same time as the Baron's messenger. In the past month, the Sixth Squadron had been very leisurely. Baron Harden, Lieutenant Colonel Marvin and the cavalry had participated in several battles.
The outer cavalry and the orc wolf cavalry brigade were fighting each other, and the casualties were already serious. Even the powerful knight under the baron's command also lost three people. The professional casualties were even more serious, with a total of more than ten people killed. Warcraft War Horse
Nineteen horses were lost.
After two months of continuous fighting on the outside, the Warcraft Cavalry under Baron Harden was about to reach its limit and was ready to return to the rear to rest.
Although the Baron has retired from active service, he is still appointed by the king as the supreme commander of the Platos Front. Even Lieutenant Colonel Marvin must obey his command.
The Baron sent the order, and the Sixth Squadron immediately took action.
After more than two months of fighting, there are more than 300 wounded soldiers gathered in Haddon Castle. Some of these wounded soldiers are from the 6th Squadron, some from the 8th Battalion, some from the Knights of the Baron of Harden, and some from
A scout under Lieutenant Colonel Marvin.
The wounded soldiers who participated in the early war have basically recovered. These people are mainly from the 8th Battalion. They are all soldiers from the same brigade and cooperate well with the reorganization of the 6th Squadron. The wounded soldiers were organized into a temporary squadron and followed the 6th Squadron.
.
Richard was appointed as the temporary squadron leader.
There are also many soldiers from the former Sixth Squadron within the temporary squadron. With the help of these acquaintances, even though it was his first time to independently command a squadron, Richard quickly adapted.
The two squadrons left Harden Castle and entered the canyon passage halfway, when they saw Ron riding the Iron Horned Horse in a panic.
After receiving the follow-up breathing techniques, Ron successfully became a professional four days ago.
Unfortunately, communication was inconvenient during the war, so I was not able to report to the brigade headquarters for promotion to military rank or official position.
The Mad Lion Legion is currently seriously short of officers, and the group headquarters will not allow professionals to serve as grassroots soldiers. It is estimated that Ron will be transferred to other squadrons as officers to supplement battle losses after a while.
Now Ron is temporarily commanding two squads of scouts.
"An army of orcs appeared at the entrance of the canyon. The flags are the soldiers of the Walder Brigade from Vic Castle."
After hearing the information brought by Ron, Diarra summoned the main officers and said calmly: "There are only three squadrons of orcs left in the Wald Brigade. They left Vic Castle and must have received orders from Gunderson.
It seems that Gunderson has sensed the danger and has given up on conquering the Platos defense line and is preparing to gather his troops together and make plans to retreat."
"Ron, did you alert the orcs during your investigation?"
"Captain Richard, when we carried out this reconnaissance mission, we did not kill the orc soldiers. I saw the orc flag from a distance, estimated the size of the orc army, and immediately returned to report the news.
If the orc scouts are experienced, they will probably find the horse hoof prints we left."
"Richard, you lead the temporary squadron to ambush on both sides of the canyon. I will lead the sixth squadron to camp in the middle of the canyon passage to block the enemy from the front. Ron will command the reconnaissance cavalry to act as a reserve team, ready to go into battle at any time."
Richard led the temporary squadron to climb the cliffs on both sides of the road, and Diarra directed the soldiers to build forts.
As soon as the preparations were completed, the orc squadron headed by them launched a charge.
Richard leaned out to observe and found that most of the charging orcs were wild boars. Although the wild boars were rough-skinned, thick-skinned and strong in defense, they were not very smart.
Letting a squadron dominated by quilboars act as the vanguard can easily fall into the enemy's trap.
But now that Wald's battalion has no troops available, the Wild Boar Squadron has the least casualties and the most abundant soldiers. Captain Wald can only rely on them now.
Although this squadron was supplemented by some kobolds, the powerful wild boar warrior Papalinde did not listen to the weak kobolds at all.
Discovering the enemy's camp, he immediately ordered his soldiers to rush toward the camp, regardless of the kobolds' obstruction.
"The first group of archers are ready, let go"
As soon as the words fell, more than a hundred arrows flew out violently. The few wild boar people rushing at the front were instantly shot into hedgehogs.
A temporary squadron was formed under Richard. Although they were not equipped with enchanted bows and arrows, most of them were veterans. Many of them had very good archery skills. In the first round of arrow rain, they killed seven or eight wild boars.
"The second group of archers are ready, let go"
"The third group of archers is ready, let go"
The grassroots officers commanded in an orderly manner, constantly releasing arrows that filled the sky, killing the orc soldiers.
In just a hundred meters after entering the shooting range, the quilboars dropped more than thirty corpses. Although the casualties were heavy, they still could not stop the momentum of the quilboar's charge.
Although this species is stupid, it has a strong will and can withstand huge casualties. The quilboar suffered heavy casualties, which made the orc commander Walder unable to stand it anymore.
Letting the quilboars be the vanguard is almost like giving away lives. The enemy was not even seen, and dozens of soldiers were lost.
Originally, there were not many soldiers left in Wald's brigade. If they were sent off like this, the whole army would have to be annihilated.
But under the current situation, the Wild Boar Squadron cannot withdraw.
If you retreat, you will still face continued killing from archers.
In desperation, Walder could only put one and a half squadrons of orcs from the second echelon into the attack. Half a squadron of orcs from the third echelon, escorting thousands of prisoners, were thirty miles away from the battlefield, making it impossible for them to join the battle.
The wild boars stormed into the camp ferociously, and Diarra calmly commanded the soldiers of the Sixth Squadron to hunt down the wild boars in groups of four by throwing spears.
Richard led a temporary squadron of soldiers and continuously fired arrows on the cliffs on both sides of the road to suppress the second echelon of orcs and reduce the pressure on the camp.
Holding an enchanted bow and arrow, he was condescending and constantly aimed at the orc professional officers. In just a few minutes, he actually achieved four results.
Including a first-level kobold, a second-level goat, a first-level wild boar, and a third-level snake.
Prompt sounds kept coming from the attribute panel. After a while, Richard had gained 4,000 experience points, and the Northern Army's fighting skills and riding skills could all be advanced.
Deep in the state of war, one's own survival is precarious, and accumulating experience is of no use.
In an environment where you are facing death at any time, the more your combat ability is enhanced, the more your ability to survive will be enhanced.
Seeing that killing experience can improve his skills, Richard immediately added 3,500 experience points to his riding skills, raising his riding level to the fourth level.
