Chapter four hundred and eighty third fierce battle
"Hurry up!"
A group of neatly-dressed soldiers rushed down the street at the urging of the officer. The ups and downs of armor plates collided with the sound of metal. These soldiers had firm eyes and were already prepared for this moment.
With the arrival of the orc army, the entire Dragon Gate defense line seemed to be activated. A large number of defenders in the city began to mobilize. Teams of soldiers were constantly shuttled through the streets and were transferred to various sections of the defense line.
In addition to the civilians transporting supplies, there are millions of people moving at the same time on the defense line. Because it is a military town, there are not many civilians in all the cities on the front line of Longxingguan, and most of them serve the army. At this time, the army is operating
There was no chaos at all, and everything was arranged in an orderly manner.
Smoke rose from all the defense lines outside the city. The orcs' attack was as fierce as expected. After a simple test, they suddenly pressed on the army and began to attack fiercely. They also launched an attack on the entire line of Longxing Pass.
The Fanglong Scale Castle on the northern route all encountered tentative attacks from the orcs.
…
…
Northern Line
Dragon Scale Castle
It is a large fortress next to the northern dense forest. If the human army wanted to infiltrate the orcs in the past, it would have to start from the Dragon Scale Castle and enter the northern dense forest.
The last time the human army attacked the orcs from Dragon Scale Castle was when Richard led the North Route Army to attack. After the main force on the central line was defeated, Richard ordered the North Route Army to withdraw from the previously captured Yandong Mountain and retreat to Dragon Scale Castle.
One line.
Without him, although the strategic location of Yandong Mountain is important, it also depends on the overall form. If the North Route Army insists on guarding the Yandong Mountain line, and Longxing Pass collapses in other directions, they will be trapped in the dense forest, so Richard wants to be safe.
For the sake of peace, it was better to shrink the military power back.
At this time, in addition to some of the original troops on the Northern Front, plus the withdrawn Northern Route Army, there were nearly 200,000 troops stationed there. This may seem like a lot of troops, but in fact it still seems a little bit scattered across the hundreds of miles of Northern Front defense.
It's thin, after all, the orcs rarely attack from the northern front.
But this time it was different. The orc army was very strong this time. Because they no longer had to guard against the centaurs behind them, the orcs mobilized almost all their standing troops. And because this battle was a battle involving the survival of the two races, the orcs were also ruthless.
Ignoring the normal domestic production order and massively expanding the army, the number of troops that can be put into attack now has reached two million, and this number is still growing.
The configuration of the orcs' northern offensive force is also extremely high. It was led by Sean, the protector warrior who was stationed in Wastestone City. It has more than a dozen legions that crossed the northern dense forest, reoccupied Yandong Mountain, Langshou Village and other key points, and then began to attack Long.
Scale Castle launched a tentative attack.
Logically speaking, it is not difficult for an army of more than 200,000 orcs, or the elite of the orc guards, to cross the northern dense forest regardless of logistical consumption, and attack Dragonscale Castle, a fortress where a legion is usually stationed. However, the army led by Sean
There was trouble from the beginning.
"kill!"
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh..."
"ah!"
It was not only the 100,000 Northern Route Army who retreated to the Northern Front, but almost all of Richard's troops also retreated to the Northern Front. In terms of the combat power of the Sky Level alone, the North Route Army has a lot of strength, let alone the combat power.
The system soldiers are also not weak. In addition to a legion of human soldiers stationed in the Dragonscale Castle that Sean tentatively attacked, there are also more than 200 Crusaders and a larger number of phantom shooters stationed, and the commander is even more
It is a warrior like Gru who has gained a fierce reputation on the continent of Erathia.
The attacking orcs were pushing ladders and shield carts toward Dragon Scale Castle. Sean sent a whole flag regiment of more than 5,000 people to attack at once.
But just on the road close to the city wall, they suffered extremely heavy casualties. These phantom archers are not as easy to dispatch as ordinary crossbowmen. The arrows they shoot are all attached with fighting spirit and have extremely strong armor-piercing capabilities.
, those heavy armors that could withstand ordinary arrows were easily broken by the sharp arrows of the phantom shooters. Coupled with their accurate shooting skills, some of the shield vehicles at the front even suffered too many casualties, and even the vehicles could not be pushed.
situation.
This level of long-range attack even caused the attacking team to hesitate. Some of the shield vehicles that still had many people left and could still continue to move did not dare to move forward, but waited to see the follow-up friendly forces.
"These human armies are really evil. No wonder they were able to break through Cave Mountain so quickly and come near the royal capital."
As a protector of the country and the senior commander of the Orc Kingdom, Sean naturally has a certain understanding of the extremely powerful army led by Richard. Now that army has obviously retreated to the defense line on the northern line of Longxing Pass.
, is currently blocking his army at Dragonscale Castle.
"Order the team to retreat first and stop attacking."
"Yes, General Sean!"
The orcs' first attack on Dragon Scale Castle did not even touch the city wall. They left hundreds of corpses and retreated without even having time to clean up the corpses.
Facing the long-range output combination of phantom shooters and magic mages on the city, Sean would not plan to continue the attack until he built a large number of siege equipment.
"What are you doing!"
On the other side, Talis, who had been hiding in the diagonal north direction of the battlefield, sighed in annoyance as he watched the orc army retreat and Gru did not order her to attack.
Taris has been hiding around the battlefield with a mixed cavalry composed of champion knights and unicorn holy beasts. Because the team is not large, he is not afraid of being discovered by the orcs. It is just her team that Gru is prepared to use at a critical moment.
Of course, there was no chance for him to play in the tentative attack.
Sir Mrak, Elena and others also led their teams to lurk around the battlefield. Only Gru was left alone with some people to guard the Dragon Scale Castle. Judging from Gru's arrangement, he did not intend to hold on, but instead
It's a preparation to eat the opponent.
Gru and the heroes who followed the Northern Route Army were not able to fight with Richard all the time, and they have fallen behind a lot in experience. Gru has never been a hero willing to lag behind. Morrel and Natalie followed Li Cha.
After checking around and gaining experience, he planned to attack the 200,000 orc army.
"Let all the troops be calm and calm. The Northern Route Army soldiers with Elena should not be too impatient to let the orcs notice."
"Yes, sir!"
…
…
In the main city of Longxingguan, Richard led Natalie and Moriel on a street full of soldiers.
"grown ups!"
"grown ups!"
When Richard walks on the street, most of the soldiers passing by will give him a simple greeting. Although these soldiers may not all know him, his luxurious armor alone can speak for itself.
At the beginning of the war, Richard was no longer as leisurely as before. He gathered the Holy Dragon, the remaining Dragon Archangels and other high-level troops near the school grounds outside the meeting hall, ready to be dispatched at any time. He himself also led two of his men to fight.
Will go to the council chamber.
"Lord Ross."
"Master Richard is here."
"sit!"
Richard and Ross had equal status, and both parties behaved quite casually. As soon as Richard came in, he sat in the front seat on the left hand side.
"The orcs are coming fiercely this time. In the past, the orcs only attacked from the main gate of Dragon Breathing Pass in the middle. This time, the orcs launched attacks from three directions. From Nanwang City in the south to Dragon Scale Castle in the north, they were attacked by orcs.
s attack."
Duke Ross's words were somewhat solemn. The orcs' daring to carry out such a large-scale attack not only showed that the orcs had enough troops, but also showed that the orcs were determined. Even the northern front, which consumes the most materials, did not hesitate to invest a large amount of troops. This is true.
It's a battle of life and death.
"Taize played very well in defense today. The orcs didn't take advantage at all. The person recommended by Sir Richard is indeed extraordinary."
"General Taizé is indeed very good at commanding defensive operations."
Richard is not humble either. If there are even problems with the defense of Taigang Plate, then there will be few people on this continent who know how to fight defensively.
"It's just that the White Dragon hasn't been dispatched yet, but according to the current attack pace of the orcs, I'm afraid the White Dragon will be dispatched soon."
"You can only do your best..."
"Fortunately, Sir Richard provided the divine crossbow. During this period, the craftsmen stepped up their production, and the ground army finally had a chance to fight against the giant dragon."
"this is necessary."
There are no less than a thousand craftsmen in Longxingguan who build war equipment. With the provided Shenwei crossbow technology, Longxinguan now has more than three hundred Shenwei crossbows deployed. The power of these Shenwei crossbows is stronger than bed crossbows.
, but it is weaker than the dragon-hunting crossbow of the orcs, so it is still somewhat effective when used against the white dragon, the weakest among the dragons.
"I'm not too worried about the orcs attacking the southern front. I sent troops from the southern front before. Nanwang City has sufficient troops. My orc army is also stationed in Nanwang City. As long as there are no white dragons participating in the war, the problem on the southern front should not be a problem.
big."
"I'm still more worried about the northern front. According to the intelligence, the Orc Guards Corps appeared on the northern front, and they mobilized 200,000 troops regardless of logistical consumption. The northern front has always been weak in strength. I plan to send a portion of the Western Frontier Army to go north to support.
Otherwise, if something goes wrong on the North Road, the entire defense line will be meaningless."
"this…"
Richard's expression suddenly became a little strange after hearing Ross's concern about the northern line. With the main force of the orcs concentrated on the middle line, I am afraid that the northern line is the most stable place. An army of 200,000 orcs will face a comparable number of humans.
The army must have a crushing advantage, but it would be different if there were thousands more system troops and several system heroes in these human armies. The orcs would not be able to gain favor by being designated on the northern front.
"Lord Ross, there is no need to worry about the northern front. The Western Army should stay here."
"But the troops on the northern front are really weak."
"Don't worry, Mr. Ross, the elites in the Northern Route Army will not be any worse than the Orc Army. I guarantee that the Northern Route will be flawless."
"All right!"
Seeing that Richard was so determined, Ross temporarily gave up the idea of sending troops to support him. After all, he only had this little mobile power, so it would be better if he could use it later.
"Now part of the orc army in the middle has captured part of a section of the defense line. General Taize took the initiative to relax a little of the defense line and let part of the orc army in."
"Roar!"
"Roar!"
Just as Richard and Ross were studying the movement of the army, a distant roar made them both raise their heads at the same time.
