In the microcosm of the morning light, the soldiers of Blackhammer Fort, Heidelberg and Binglan Fort began to launch a general attack on the greenskins in the camp.
These stinky greenskins swarmed out in an unorganized manner with no formation at all. However, we have to admit that no matter when and where, these orcs with small eyes and short noses are full of infinite desire to fight.
The goblins charged behind the orcs.
The entire outside of Snow Rock Castle was like a green tide rushing towards the human coalition forces that were provoking them.
"Brothers, the battle you have been waiting for is here."
Standing in the center of the coalition, Rhodes brandished his ax and gave his last speech before the battle to the Norscan warriors. Every roar was like a beast from hell, resounding through the position. Among the three-city coalition, there was no doubt that the troops of Blackhammer Castle once again
With Rhodes as the core, the 265 Norscan infantry are the main force of the coalition. They are equipped with dwarf muskets, heavy battle axes and round war shields. Like the orcs, the Norscans are also eager to fight.
They are natural predators and warriors.
The rising sun soon spreads its sunshine to the earth.
When the light dispelled the darkness, patches of green skin were illuminated, and among the rolling green waves were the deafening roars of the orc warriors and the screams of countless goblins.
At the same time, the first wave of arrows rained from the northern reinforcements' position.
They knocked down the dozen or so greenskins who rushed at the front. However, more greenskins soon came up. They rushed forward one after another, as if ignoring the strikes of human bows and arrows.
The second wave of arrows rained down, and another twenty greenskins fell in a pool of blood after being hit by arrows. But this damage was nothing to the thousands of greenskin troops.
Before the third wave of arrows could be launched, the greenskins at the front had already rushed in front of the Norscans.
There is no doubt that they have entered the range of the muskets. Rhodes knows that with the range of the shotgun, this wave of bullets is only enough for one round. After the round of gunshots, the orcs and goblins will rush in front of them. The Norscan warriors
He had to draw his battle ax and dagger to fight the enemy. Therefore, this volley of bullets must be accurately controlled.
"Hold still! Listen to my orders."
In the golden morning light, Rhodes looked at the rolling green tide in front of him, clenched his hand into a fist, and raised it high in the air.
The Norscan raiders beside them had already aimed their guns at the green-skinned orcs and goblins charging ahead.
Although it was only a few seconds, it passed extremely long. Everyone was waiting for the order from the Lord of Blackhammer Castle. The archers in the back row were seizing the time to draw their bows and nock arrows, but it was definitely too late to fire the third round of volley.
"Fire!"
The next second, Rhodes' hand raised in the air suddenly lowered. Beside him, more than a hundred Norscan raiders fired their muskets. In the smoke, more than a hundred green-skinned orcs and goblins fell to the ground screaming and charging.
On the way, blood overflowed from the hole-sized wound. This is the power of the dwarf musket. The range is not far, but the power of shooting at close range is huge.
The killing effect of two volleys from an archer is not as good as one volley from a shotgun.
However, after the volley of muskets, the Norscan warriors had no time for a second round of shooting. Loading bullets took a lot of time, but the opponent would not give such time. Soon, the manic orcs and goblins stepped on
The bodies of the companions in front rushed up.
Before the battle, Rhodes and Lord Edmund discussed and deliberately chose a gentle slope to launch the attack. Therefore, the orcs and goblins actually attacked from their backs, but this still could not stop the desire of these green-skinned beasts to attack.
A large number of greenskins jumped into the human army's position like wild beasts. However, Rhodes' elite Norscan soldiers were already prepared. The moment they put away their muskets, everyone put on short swords and large shields and quickly formed a shield formation.
Wall against enemies.
This is a tactic that has been practiced countless times and has been tried and tested on the battlefield. The airtight shield wall is like a wooden wall blocking the orcs. The savage green-skinned orcs rush forward and are instantly stabbed by the short sword pierced by the shield wall.
The sword pierced the body, and scarlet blood spurted out, dyeing hundreds of Norscan war shields red.
"Hold on!"
Outside the shield wall, Rhodes raised his arms and shouted.
He, the butcher Bogur, the witch hunter Diego, and the shaman Yeskovitch always rush to the front to inspire the troops.
At the same time, several comrades in life and death will always protect his safety.
Green waves rolled up the slope. Soon, the soldiers on the entire front line were fighting with thousands of green leather swords.
By the way, this was the first time for Rhodes to engage in a large-scale frontal battle with the greenskins. When he went north to Dulong City, he encountered a group of greenskins in the wild, but they were only a small number of greenskins that wandered to the north. In the expedition team and the dwarf guard,
They quickly collapsed under the combined force of the attack. But this time it was different. The group of greenskins besieging Snow Rock Castle were obviously organized, purposeful, and leader-headed greenskin tribes.
Whether they were short goblins or tall orcs, they all showed an excited fighting state. Even, under some unknown magic, the green-skinned orcs became slightly larger and attacked more violently. They roared, again and again
Hitting the Norscan shield wall. At the same time, the Norscan warriors were also patiently waiting behind the shield wall, waiting for their leader's order to attack.
Soon, the greenskins in the camp were cleared. If there was a battle in the rear, they would rush out. Wherever there was a battle, they would be there. Nothing excites them more than fighting.
"Attack."
At this time, Digel, the Lord of Snow Rock Castle in the city, issued an order for an all-out attack.
Hundreds of bandaged and heavily armed veterans of Snow Rock Castle rushed out of the castle under the personal leadership of their leader, Baron Digel.
They roared and charged. The two-month siege made them exhausted. At the same time, the anger of revenge in their hearts increased sharply every day. Finally, reinforcements arrived. They cooperated internally and externally to eliminate this wave of greenskins.
Viewed from the air, it looks like two black tides attacking the green tide in the middle.
Digel rode a heavily armored war horse, leading the charge, roaring and charging. This was the first time since the civil war that Rhodes saw the lord of the Eastern Territory be so brave... Sure enough, if it doesn't matter who he is, he would be worried if he was threatened.
Rhodes believes that there are many people like Digel in this civil strife. Including himself...
"transmit a signal!"
During the fight, Rhodes shouted to the Norscan infantry captain behind him.
Celta immediately took off the long bow on his back and fired ignited arrows into the sky with all his strength.
A meteor-like rocket pierced the sky, and Palumbel, the leader of the Ugor cavalry, knew that the time had come to outflank him.
"Brothers, for Kislev, for our glory, for the bounty, follow me and charge!"
Palumbel turned around and shouted loudly to the five hundred Ugor cavalry.
Immediately, the horn sound of the cavalry charge resounded through the sky.
