Shamok has not recovered from his injuries and has been sent to the rear. Bastruan is the supreme commander of the orc brigade.
Now that Bastruan died in battle, it brought great chaos to the morale of the orcs.
Especially the tauren, the main force of the orcs, Bastruan is their spiritual leader and the most prestigious commander.
As soon as the tauren wavered, problems began to arise on the battle line.
Seeing that the army was about to be defeated, Larmin, the captain of the wolf cavalry squadron, stepped forward.
After discussing with the snake squadron leader Dakota Lacey, he decided to join the final reserve team.
Larmin led his cavalry to attack Richard, and the Sophia coalition forces attacked the flanks. Dakota Lacey led the snake-like heavy infantry to attack the front of the human army.
The two armies coincided with each other and devoted their last efforts to reverse the situation.
The Wolf Cavalry charged extremely fast, and in just one or two minutes, they rushed to the front of the coalition formation.
Richard hurriedly ordered a squadron to turn around and directed the soldiers to fire crossbows.
Dozens of archers only fired two rounds of arrows, knocking down seven or eight wolf cavalry. Larmin had already led the team and rushed into the line of the second squadron of Grant's territory.
The wolf cavalry surged up like a tide. Richard held a shield in one hand and a heavy sword in the other hand. He slashed hard at the wolf cavalry, easily cutting a cavalryman into two pieces.
An ordinary army would probably collapse on the spot if the cavalry broke through the formation.
The 2nd Squadron of Haaland Territory is quite elite. Not only is the equipment better, but the quality of the soldiers is also pretty good. They have been training for two full years.
Moreover, Richard has a high prestige among the soldiers. He takes the lead and personally leads the troops to fight, which greatly increases morale.
Coupled with the brutality of the orcs and the racial war, even if they surrender, there will be no good results.
They have seen with their own eyes that humans captured by orcs will become food for the orcs at any time, and will be treated like cattle and sheep.
The soldiers of the second squadron of Harland Territory have defeated the orcs several times. As a victorious army, they already have a sense of honor as a soldier.
This sense of honor also requires them to continue fighting and not be defeated.
Moreover, Richard established a pension system, which relieved the soldiers from worries and allowed them to fight to the death.
Officers such as Hyman and Vincent led the soldiers to fight to the death. Even though the formation was in chaos, they still adopted a desperate strategy.
Richard saw with his own eyes that a soldier's arm was chopped off, and he stabbed the horse's belly with a broken spear in his other hand. The horse whined and fell to the ground, pressing a wolf-headed man under the horse's belly.
The Wolf Cavalry struggled to stand up, but was severely pierced by several spears.
Richard became furious and once again fired a powerful fireball at the wolf cavalry commander Larmin. This time, Richard invested 6 points of mental power and had already exhausted all his mental power.
Although the power of the second fireball is far less than that of the first, it is still much more powerful than the standard model fireball.
The fireball exploded in Larmin's chest, knocking Larmin over immediately.
The war horse was killed by the fireball on the spot. Larmin also suffered serious internal injuries and vomited blood on the spot.
Although Vincent was young, he was quite brave. He charged hard with a spear and stabbed the horse in the belly.
Like a candied haws on a stick, Larmin was impaled on both his body and his horse.
Larmin let out a shrill cry, and his head was chopped off by Vincent.
"Get down first!"
Duram roared and commanded the already chaotic wolf cavalry to retreat.
He is the deputy squadron leader of the Wolf Cavalry Squadron, and his abilities are very average.
The last time we met Richard's squadron, he led the junior officers and shouted loudly. But when they really encountered a tough battle, he was far less brave than squadron leader Larmin.
Larmin died in the battle, and more than half of the Wolf Cavalry squadron suffered casualties.
Seeing that the Second Squadron was still fighting to the death, Richard braced himself and led the charge with an epee in hand.
Fear suddenly took over Duram's mind, and he issued the wrong military order.
The test of war is endurance. An army that can withstand casualties and endure hard battles is an excellent and strong army.
Whoever can persist to the last minute will win the final victory.
If the orcs refuse to retreat, perhaps the second squadron will be defeated, and the outcome of this battle will change.
Richard's mental power is equivalent to that of a five-ring magician. He has used three powerful magic spells and his mental power has been exhausted.
But these three powerful magics have very crucial effects after use.
The powerful grease spell delayed the orcs' charge, bought the archers a few rounds of firing time, and caused an additional 200 casualties to the orcs.
Two powerful fireballs killed and seriously injured the two most important commanders of the orcs.
The wolf cavalry squadron retreated, and the tauren and quilboars were locked in a bitter battle.
Just when the defeat of the orcs was determined, even worse news came. Baron Rice, Baron Dark, and Baron Bazel appeared nearby. Their strength was as many as five squadrons, plus more than one auxiliary force.
thousand.
Baron Rice was also a qualified commander. He did not hesitate and immediately led the noble coalition to attack the orcs from the rear.
Originally, the orcs were already having a hard time fighting against Richard and Sophia's coalition forces.
The battle was fierce, and the orcs suffered more than 400 casualties.
If the snake-like heavy infantry had not broken through the defense line of Sophia Squadron and reversed some of the situation, the orcs might have been defeated.
Seeing Baron Rice leading his troops to attack from the rear, relying on the broken wild boar men, the tauren were unable to stop them.
In desperation, the orcs could only let the snake-like heavy infantry bear the heavy responsibility and turn around to block the reinforcements.
Originally, the Snakemen broke through the obstruction of Sophia Squadron and were about to tear through the 7th Squadron's line. Now they could only fall short. They took a squadron of Minotaurs and joined forces with the remnants of the Wolf Cavalry to stop Baron Rice.
The soldiers under the command of Baron Rice's coalition are not considered weak, although they are not as good as the elite soldiers of Harland Territory, they are better than the city defense army and the Sophia Squadron.
Although the serpentine heavy infantry were powerful, they were surrounded by ten times the number of enemies and soon suffered a lot of attrition.
When they attacked Vic Castle, four of the Snakemen were killed and two were wounded. When they conquered the Castle of Malte in the Barony of Dirham, another one was killed and one was wounded.
The Sophia Squadron had just broken through and suffered the most serious casualties, with seven killed and six seriously wounded.
The casualties of the Snakeman heavy infantry had exceeded half.
As casualties increase, the orcs' situation becomes increasingly dangerous.
Baron Rice's coalition forces and the three hereditary baronies were all destroyed by orcs.
The number of dead and missing people has exceeded 10,000.
The territorial soldiers and the orcs have a deep hatred. Now when they have the opportunity to beat up the drowned dog, the soldiers all rush to the front.
Even if they chewed bones and fought against the snake-like heavy infantry, the noble coalition still refused to retreat.
They took firm steps, endured casualties, and drowned the orcs in the sea of humans.
In this battle, the Shamok Brigade was almost completely wiped out. Except for half of the Wild Boar Squadron to guard the captives and baggage, the remaining troops were completely wiped out by the coalition of nobles from Heihe County.
