Three hundred and twentieth chapters fierce battle 1
Although the assault of more than a hundred Crusaders was sharp, in Geert's view, it should not be the reason for the vanguard battalion to stop moving forward. The orc warriors and ordinary soldiers in the vanguard battalion also had the strength of senior quasi-knights. Under normal circumstances, five
Six people can entangle a knight. In such a large-scale collision, the role of the knight will be even more limited.
Compared with ordinary armies, the vanguard battalion should have an overwhelming advantage. The proportion of knights in the orc army is generally slightly higher than that in the human army. The number of orc warriors in the 5,000-person vanguard battalion is about 30, while the dragon army has two knights.
There are only a dozen knights in the 10,000-strong Dragon Army, which is the largest number of knights among the several legions of the Hunter family.
Under the current situation, the human armies of the two flag regiments basically had no ability to resist the 5,000-man orc vanguard, but under the leadership of the Crusaders, they completed the counterattack.
The armor-piercing hammer in the hands of the Dragon Army soldiers has a greater chance of directly piercing the orcs' iron armor. With the cooperation of two or three, these tall orc warriors are not afraid at all.
"kill!"
"boom!"
Ron, who was charging forward, soon faced the commander of the orc vanguard battalion. After seeing that the battle was not going well, the orc commander personally came up with his guards to try to open up the situation. The orc commander had the strength of a great warrior.
As soon as he came up, he waved the battle ax in his hand, using various moves, trying to suppress Ron in one fell swoop.
This method has been tried and tested against strong human beings. After all, one force can defeat ten monsters. At the same level, the power of orcs is basically greater than that of humans. In this kind of head-on collision, there is not much room for skills to be used, and it is easy to cause consequences if you give in.
The battle line is unstable, and many times the human knights can only push forward and suffer big losses.
However, this time the orc commander obviously picked the wrong person. Although Ron can only be regarded as a second-rate hero among Richard's forces, and his strength has broken through to the great knight, there is no comparison with the likes of Moriel and Natalies.
Although he is a hero recognized by the system and an elite crusader who has experienced hundreds of battles, how can he suffer at the same level?
The round shield in his hand cleverly blocked the orc commander's battle ax, and with one strike of the sword, he forced the orc commander on the opposite side to take a step back.
"clang!"
The orc commander crossed his battle ax and tried to repel Ron's attack, but was blocked by the buckler in Ron's hand.
"Chi"
This time, the orc commander did not retreat, and his shoulder was scratched by Ron's sword. If he had been slower, he might have lost his entire arm.
At this moment, the orc commander finally realized that his opponent was unusual, and he was a little overconfident.
"drink!"
The orc commander waved the battle ax in his hand, trying to use the advantage of the weapon to distance himself from Ron, and then retreat to the line. Ron took a step back, but the orc commander did not find a chance to retreat at this time.
, the Crusaders' cooperation was more tacit than he imagined. From the moment Ron fought with him, several Crusaders intentionally or unintentionally blocked several directions, isolating him from the surrounding guards. Now he
His personal guards seemed to be not far away, but it was difficult for them to support him in a short time.
As soon as he retreated, he was stopped by two Crusaders. Crusaders with the peak strength of these knights are not characters who can be easily dismissed. If the orc commander is given some time, he is not afraid of the two Crusaders, but now he is entangled
Stay still, Ron will catch up in less than a second.
"clang!"
"Roar!"
At the critical moment, the orc commander did not care about the consumption of fighting energy and began to exert all his strength. The light red fighting energy enveloped his whole body and his eyes were red. In addition, he had some wounds that had not stopped bleeding. He actually felt a bit crazy. He was not
He wanted to fight for Ron, but turned around and tried to break through the obstruction of the two Crusaders to join his own bodyguards.
If it were an ordinary army, even the elite would probably have to be frightened by him in this situation. After all, he was strong and still looked desperate. Most people would have to be timid. But unfortunately, what he wanted to intimidate was the cross.
The military is a killing machine that has almost no emotions on the battlefield.
The two Crusaders came forward without any fear. At the same time, they burst out with fighting spirit and held the round shields in their hands to receive the orc commander's axe.
"boom!"
The Crusader's shield was shattered when hit by the orc commander, his arm armor was also torn open, and half of his arm was twisted and broken before flying more than a meter away.
There is still a big gap between the peak knight and the great knight. It is not easy to fight head-on with just some injuries.
Another crusader attacked with a sword, not giving the orc commander a chance to finish the blow or escape, and tightly entangled him in place. The orc commander had no choice but to hold up his battle ax to block the attack.
.
"Chi!"
It was not difficult to block this blow, but the delay allowed Ron to catch up calmly. Ron has never had martial ethics, so how can a young man talk about martial ethics?
Seeing that the orc commander's back was still facing him, he gathered his fighting spirit and stabbed him with his sword. The orc commander's back was also covered in iron armor, but it was difficult to block the long sword from being pierced by the great knight's fighting spirit.
Ron's sword opened a hole in his back, and blood spattered half of Ron's helmet. His faceplate was stained with blood.
"boom!"
The orc commander turned around and struck, but Ron cleverly blocked it. The orc commander in his heyday was no match for Ron, let alone that he was seriously injured now.
The Crusaders are not just decorations either.
The surrounding guards were aware of the general's crisis, but because the orc commander was overconfident in his own strength, he fell into a small-scale division among the Crusaders. The guards desperately attacked and were killed by the Crusaders.
The army stopped them firmly, and the soldiers of the Dragon Army did not just watch. Seeing the fierce fighting here, several Dragon Army commanders reacted very quickly and led their men to move closer to support.
The focus of the battlefield quickly gathered, and then under the gaze of half of the battlefield, Ron, half covered in blood, stabbed the orc commander's heart with a sword, and then quickly cut off the opponent's head with his sword.
Holding the head of the orc commander with one hand, he looked around the battlefield. The orc vanguard battalion that was attacking suddenly seemed to let out a sigh of relief. No one dared to look at Ron.
"kill!"
"kill!"
"kill!"
On the contrary, the morale of the human side has been greatly boosted, especially the two flag regiments of the dragon army. They have been bearing much more casualties than the orcs. The death of two three dragon soldiers sometimes cannot be replaced by even one orc vanguard battalion.
Soldier, this makes the soldiers and officers of the Dragon Army somewhat difficult to accept.
They are not the regular army of the kingdom, nor are they the troops that have been fighting the orcs all year round at Longxingguan. On the contrary, they have no fear or respect for the orcs, and even regard the orcs as opponents of the same level. This seems to be true for other human troops.
The exchange ratio was a huge advantage, but in their eyes they actually suffered a loss. Their morale also suffered a bit.
Now with Ron's heroic performance of directly killing the opponent's commander, the morale of the dragon army has been boosted again. The soldiers led by Moriel are not only highly disciplined, but also full of arrogance.
With the morale of the human side rising, the outcome of the originally anxious battle has become clear. However, the fighting will of the orc vanguard army is indeed good. In this case, there is still no large-scale collapse. Although in
They retreated slightly, but basically kept fighting. But defeat was inevitable.
"This waste!"
Geert, who had watched the whole battle, was now very angry. In his opinion, it was the mistake of the commander of the vanguard battalion that put him in danger. Humans seized the opportunity to kill him in front of the battle line, causing the entire vanguard battalion to be killed.
He was shaken. Of course, he forgot that the style of the vanguard battalion had always been to rush forward and attack violently. It turned out that the vanguard battalion directly destroyed two human legions under the leadership of the commander. At that time, he did not think that the commander was reckless.
However, this is not the time to reflect. Although the commander has been lost, the actual losses of the Pioneer Battalion are not great, so they must be allowed to return first.
"Ask the commander of the Third Army to take people to assist the vanguard camp and slowly withdraw."
Geert didn't dare to give an order to retreat directly now. Without his commander and being so tightly clung to by the human army, if he directly ordered a retreat, what he would see would probably be a huge rout immediately.
"Lord Moriel, there is movement from the orcs again. They seem to want to take the orc vanguard back. Do you need to ask Lord Ron to retreat?"
"No, give the order to pursue!"
"Let the Red Flame Knights and the heavy cavalry prepare themselves. How can they escape so easily? This time, we must take a bite of their flesh first."
"Yes, sir!"
With the flag waving, the Red Flame Knights slowly walked out with more than 800 cavalry. Recently, many knights have joined the Hunter family. The number of the Red Flame Knights has increased to one hundred, and the heavy cavalry has also expanded.
, a total of 900 tall cavalrymen wearing armor, they are definitely a terrifying deterrent force on the battlefield. As soon as they moved, Gert noticed this army.
"This cavalry?"
Or maybe the strange intelligence was so outrageous that Geert, the orc commander in chief of the Red Flame Knights, didn't even know about it, but he was just instinctively wary of it.
"Let the giant wolf cavalry follow and cover the third legion."
More than a thousand warriors riding giant gray wolves came out of the orc queue. These giant wolves were smaller than war horses, but they were still enough for orc warriors to ride. Compared with war horses, giant wolf cavalry had many shortcomings.
Their strength and endurance are inferior to those of war horses. During normal operations, the orc cavalry walks with these giant wolves, and only in war will they ride giant wolves to fight.
Although there are many shortcomings, the giant wolf cavalry is a sharp weapon against human cavalry. The war horses have a natural fear of these predators. When the two sides approach, the war horses will always hesitate. Those who are less well trained may even turn around and run away.
The impact power of some human cavalry is somewhat ineffective in front of the giant wolf.
Therefore, seeing the human side sending out cavalry, Gert naturally sent out this giant wolf cavalry to restrain them.
"Let the Silver Wing Legion go up to support! Stick the orc vanguard to death and wait for the orc to come to support."
Ron's performance was beyond Moriel's expectations. She didn't expect Ron to directly kill the commander of the opposing orc vanguard army and gain a huge advantage. However, this did not prevent Moriel from making adjustments quickly. She wanted to take advantage of this.
Bleed the orcs more often if you have the chance.
"yes!"
The messenger waved the huge command flag in accordance with the order, and the Silver Wing Legion followed the order. Although the Silver Wing Legion is not as valued as the Dragon Army, and it is not as old-school as the Flying Bear Army, its equipment and training level is also high.
Similar to the Kingdom's regular army, the soldiers are all sons of good families from the North, and most of them have received favors from the Hunter family. In addition to defending the territory, their fighting will is far higher than that of the ordinary Kingdom's regular army.
"Does the human commander on the opposite side want a decisive battle?"
Although Gert could not understand Moriel's intention, he believed that his soldiers had no reason to be afraid of the human army, so he ordered:
"Let the Third Legion act cheaply when responding. If the human legion comes up, just defeat them directly."
"Dong, dong, dong..."
On the battlefield, the war drums began to beat. The sound of the orcs' big leather drums was so penetrating that the sound of the drums could be heard throughout the battlefield. It was supposed to be a tentative battle, but it turned into a decisive battle.
Posture.
"boom!"
"Dragon!"
"It's the human dragon knight!"
"Roar!"
In fact, there were no knights on the golden dragon. It was just that it was high in the air and the orcs couldn't see it clearly, so they acquiesced in the identity of the opponent's dragon knight. Anyway, the dragon's breath sprayed out was not fake.
The Orc Pioneer Army, which was being attacked by Ron with the Crusaders and the Dragon Army, was even more uncomfortable. A breath of dragon breath caused more than a dozen casualties, and the dragon could also open a breakthrough for the Dragon Army very accurately, killing the Orc Pioneer Army.
The front line that the army finally formed opened several holes.
This is also one of the characteristics of the Dragon Army. Moriel is good at using dragons, and even better at cooperating between dragons and ground troops. After all, the underground world cannot be won by the black dragon Red Dragon alone, but also by massive basic troops.
decisive battle.
Under Moriel's training, the dragon and the Dragon Army soldiers can form a good coordination. The dragon can always open an opening for the Dragon Army at the most suitable place, and the Dragon Army can quickly follow up without causing any accidental injuries. This is quite a bit.
The meaning of infantry and artillery coordination.
"Is the dragon out again?"
The Pioneer Battalion suffered heavy casualties, but Gert looked calm. The fact that the other party had a giant dragon was part of the intelligence. Some of the information was relatively easy to obtain in the human world, such as the fact that the Hunter family had a giant dragon. The divine envoy had already
It was sold to the orcs, and it was impossible for Gert to be unprepared this time.
Even when he saw the giant dragon appearing, Gert felt as if a stone had fallen to the ground.
"Dragon Hunting Cannon!"
After Geert shouted, four giant ordnances were pushed out from the orc army. They were said to be cannons but they were actually a type of crossbow. The principle was similar to that of a twisted crossbow, but this crossbow looked bigger than an ordinary bed crossbow.
It is much bigger and bulkier. You can tell the weight of this thing just by looking at one of its bases with eight strong orc warriors pushing it. After competing with human dragon knights for so long, it is natural that the orcs cannot use any countermeasures.
nothing.
The dragon-hunting cannon is a weapon specially used by the orcs to fight against dragon knights. The key parts are made of special materials. The arrows are also made of precious snowfield cold iron. An arrow is four meters long and made entirely of iron. It takes more than ten people to string it at one time.
The two orc warriors exerted their strength at the same time, and their flexibility was extremely low, but their power was enough to pose a threat to the giant dragon.
The cost of this kind of weapon is too high, and there are not many orcs. Most of them are deployed in the orc capital to prevent human dragon knights from raiding, and some are placed at Dragon Breath Pass. This time Geert was able to bring out four of them, which shows that the orcs
attach great importance to this expedition.
Of course, it was impossible for such a heavy thing to be transported all the way. I just brought some key materials and craftsmen and built it temporarily in the past few days.
