At this moment, the ogre chief who was in the rear of the army finally breathed a sigh of relief. The price paid along the way was really unexpected.
On the side of the Flying Bear Army, the bear-hunting crossbows and the powerful crossbows in the front row each fired two rounds of volleys, directly causing hundreds of casualties to the ogres. These were hundreds of ogre elites.
Before they were released, one hundred armored ogre elites would have cost at least two to three thousand human soldiers. Now that they have paid such a high price before they even come into contact, it really makes the commanding ogre chief feel a little bit jealous.
cold.
Fortunately, the ogre warriors were now in close combat with the human army. He believed that in close combat, his warriors could easily tear the human formation into pieces.
…
"Dang, Dang..."
The ogre warriors who had already rushed in front of the chariot made a lot of noise as soon as they arrived. Compared with the helplessness of the kobolds, the mace in the ogre's hand can cause quite a vibration when it hits the vehicle body.
,
Hei Fu and the little mason both felt that the chariot was vibrating and about to fall apart at any moment.
"Lance, spear!"
"kill!"
The ogre attacked the chariot, and the soldiers on the chariot were not just decorations. The three-meter spear stabbed out fiercely, picking up the ogre's unprotected position by armor, and dug a large hole with one strike.
"Ah, ah..."
However, the gap in strength between humans and ogres is still too big. Although the spearman can cause some damage to the ogres nearby, the ogres who react can hold the spear shaft and knock the person out of the battle.
Pulled off the car,
Those who reacted quickly were able to throw away their hands quickly, but only lost a spear, while those who reacted slowly were thrown directly into the ogre pile, without any chance of survival.
"Buzz..."
Another sharp arrow was shot out. The little mason who was in the state was worthy of his own strength. He loaded it again soon and aimed an arrow at the ogre in front. Another burly ogre warrior responded.
And fell.
"boom!"
"ah!"
The black man on the chariot was not idle either. The nearly two-meter chariot might be an insurmountable chasm for the kobolds, but for the ogres, it was a height that they could climb up with both hands.
As long as you are a little careful to avoid the spikes in front of the barrier, it will be much easier than attacking a city.
On the chariot held by Heifu, there was a brave ogre warrior who carried his mace behind his back and climbed on the fender of the chariot with both hands in an attempt to enter the chariot.
As long as these ogres successfully climb onto the chariot, given the strength gap between the two, even if the ogres have no weapons, there is a high probability that there will be a massacre.
Fortunately, Heifu's reaction was quick enough. When the ogre just appeared, he hit the ogre's face with a hammer, causing the opponent to fall down with a wail.
"You two, go help wind the string and stop attacking the ogres with your spear."
Heifu, who was experienced in combat, had already seen the awkwardness of the spearmen on the chariot. Taking advantage of the fact that there were no casualties in his chariot, he simply ordered the spearmen to give up the attack and help the crossbowmen to wind up.
Human demons cause more damage.
The design of this type of tank was inspired by the tactics of sidecars and Hussite vehicles in previous generations. In that era, if the assault vehicle array did not have artillery support, it could only be piled up with an absolute number of human lives.
Ordinary cavalry can't do anything to the defensive side of the car formation. They mostly adopt siege tactics and will not attack unless absolutely necessary.
Of course, Richard's chariot tactic can only be regarded as an incomplete version. Without firearms, he can only use crossbows instead. The effect is still much worse than firearms. Moreover, due to poor thinking, Richard also committed empiricism.
Wrong, the chariot is also equipped with two pikemen,
These spears are sharp weapons for dealing with ordinary soldiers and even cavalry, but they are obviously not effective when used against ogres. They cannot cause much damage to the ogres but will be countered. It is better to replace them with a heavy one.
The Hammerman and a Crossbowman are a real bonus.
"Ahh..."
After Heifu smashed the head of another ogre, he suddenly heard a scream from another chariot not far away.
This scream sounded a little familiar to the little mason's ears, and the little mason who had just strung the string couldn't help but look sideways.
"What are you looking at? If you can't concentrate on the battlefield, are you looking for death?"
After being scolded by Heifu, the little mason quickly turned his head and continued to stare at the ogre in front of him and greet him.
This sound is actually very familiar to Heifu, but Heifu's combat quality and experience are much better, so he is not affected.
He could tell that this was another of his compatriots who joined the army a little later than him. Many of the heavy hammer hands on these chariots came from the stonemason village. These men from the stonemason village quarried stones all year round.
I had worked hard before joining the army.
Once you keep up with your nutrition after joining the army, your strength will still increase, so it's perfect for you to be a heavy hammer hand.
But obviously, another of Heifu's fellow countrymen failed to defend the chariot well, and the ogre actually climbed onto the chariot. After slaughtering all the soldiers in the chariot, the ogre was even able to use his
As a breakthrough point, further break into the formation,
Fortunately, the Flying Bear Army had a plan for this kind of thing. A would-be knight led a special team composed of several hammer soldiers and crossbowmen to surround them, not waiting for the ogres who had just broken through to cause any more damage.
, he was greeted with arrows and heavy hammers, and he was beaten to death. Then several people quickly filled the gap and stabilized the line again.
However, this situation of stable defense is only temporary. With more than 3,000 ogre warriors and 10,000 kobold vassals, it is definitely not something that the 20,000 flying bear army can easily stop.
Not long after the battle started, there were already many emergency situations. Not only were the chariots attacked by the ogres, but the iron chains and spikes in the gaps between the chariots and the chariots could not completely stop the ogres.
,
In particular, there were kobolds who risked their lives to charge, destroying many spike traps like thunder, and using corpses to pave several paths for the ogres to move forward.
This prevents the Flying Bear Army from completely hiding behind the car formation to fight the ogres. Brutal hand-to-hand combat has begun in some gaps. Four or five spears stabbed an ogre warrior at the same time, always causing him a little damage.
,
However, there were also ogre warriors who rushed in with long spears and fearless death. A sweep of the mace in their hands caused the casualties of several Flying Bear Army soldiers. They were quickly chased away by the heavy hammer soldiers interspersed in the line.
Come up and beat them up.
The war turned into a stalemate for a while, but neither side was satisfied with this situation.
Quill frowned, or rather, his brows hadn't relaxed since the ogre rushed up.
The casualties were too great. Even though the ogres suffered a lot of casualties, except for the ogres who were killed by long-range weapons, in close combat, every time an ogre warrior was killed, five or six warriors had to be sacrificed.
If the fight continues like this, even if the ogre is blocked, the Flying Bear Army's old foundation will be lost.
Of course, this kind of casualty ratio, compared to the previous battle between the Jingbei Army and the ogres, would definitely be a fair exchange ratio, and even a ratio that would make you laugh.
It's just that the Flying Bear Army has never experienced a disastrous defeat after fighting against the ogres, so their morale is naturally higher, so they cannot accept a high casualty ratio.
Faced with this situation, the ogre chief on the other side could only be described as furious.
"Shameless, shameless! These cowards!"
The target of the ogre's curses was naturally the Flying Bear Army. In his opinion, it was a shameful act for these humans to hide behind strange chariots and not dare to directly confront his warriors.
Of course, the most shameful thing was that the Flying Bear Army hid behind the chariot and caused so many casualties to him.
"follow me!"
In a hurry, the furious ogre chief simply picked up his mace and led the reserve team he left behind to personally walk towards the flying bear army's vehicle formation.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
"Ah! Ah..."
With a heart-wrenching sound of shattering, a tank was smashed by the ogre chief, half of the carriage collapsed, and the soldiers in the tank were directly exposed. The ogre chief, who was full of anger, was one after another.
, I smashed my head like a watermelon,
The bloody scene even slightly shocked the soldiers behind him. Fortunately, the Flying Bear Army had strict military discipline and high morale. After the scene paused briefly, the soldiers continued to rush forward one after another, trying to kill this seemingly much stronger cannibal.
Cast out the devil,
It's just that the tactics that were originally effective against ordinary ogres obviously didn't work on the ogre chief.
The casualties of the Flying Bear Army began to increase, and the defense line became precarious.
