In the night, the orcs' attack on Dragonscale Castle still did not stop. They were numb to death, as if they had completed their mission as long as they rushed to the city wall.
In addition to climbing up the city wall through the well, a large number of orc warriors climbed up the dragon scale castle directly on the long ladder. Even if the ordinary human soldiers were divided into two groups to rest, they were exhausted by the orcs, throwing rocks and pouring heat.
The speed of the oil was much slower. Some soldiers were even too tired and accidentally knocked the hot oil over the city wall when pouring it, causing a chaos.
Although the outstanding swordsman is still nailed to the city wall and kills all the orcs who climb up, due to the consumption of fighting spirit, the killing efficiency has been reduced a lot. Most of the time, the outstanding swordsman has relied on his own physical fitness.
It's fighting.
Except for the direction Elena was guarding, it was still difficult for the orcs to break through. The three walls held by outstanding swordsmen more or less stopped the attacking orcs several times, although they were soon driven away by the gryphon knights and silver pegasus.
Go down, but this is a bad signal.
The orcs were not afraid of casualties in their attack, and their goal of consuming the fighting spirit and physical energy of the sky knights on the city wall had been achieved. Although the two-day attack left tens of thousands of corpses, compared to the annihilation of the entire army, these losses were negligible.
bearable.
However, just when the orcs gradually began to see hope, a group of cavalry emerged silently from the deep dense forest.
Although the wolf cavalry had been on guard around the army, the scale of these dozens of cavalry was too small, and they were advancing in the dark. By the time they arrived at the orc camp, the orcs had not yet realized that the danger was approaching.
"When the attack starts soon, don't think about fighting, attack directly towards the orc engineering camp, destroy the orc's siege equipment and then fight out."
"yes!"
The orc engineering camp is full of orc craftsmen, and the camp is also stocked with a large number of siege equipment prepared by the orcs during this period. If half of it can be destroyed, it will be difficult for the orcs to launch a threatening attack in a short period of time.
But breaking into the orcs' engineering camp is easier said than done. The orcs themselves are also very aware of the importance of the engineering camp, and have always placed the engineering camp at the core of the camp, not far from the orcs' command tent.
, in fact, under the protection of the orc army, there is no difference between directly attacking the engineering camp and attacking the orc commander's tent. Even a cavalry of thousands of people may not be able to rush in under the cover of night.
However, it seems that it is not difficult for the cavalry led by Taris and Mrak to charge into the 100,000 orc army and cause destruction.
"Da da da…"
"Da da da…"
The speed of the champion knights and the unicorn holy beast led by Sir Mrak was increased to the extreme, and they quickly arrived in front of the orc camp.
"Enemy attack!"
"The human cavalry is approaching!"
The frightened roars of the sentries came from outside the orc camp.
Although the champion knights have superb riding skills, and under the leadership of Sir M'Lak, they quickly bypassed the wolf cavalry who were surrounded by Sean, but the champion knights with heavy armor and horses, no matter how superb their riding skills, could not withstand the charge.
With the sound of iron hoofbeats, the orc sentry looked in the direction of the sound of horse hoofbeats. He saw the faint armor glow on the champion knight's body under the moonlight and issued a warning without hesitation.
However, it was obviously too late to issue a warning at this time, and the champion knights had already launched a charge following Talis without concealment.
"boom!"
In order to facilitate the breakthrough, Taris led the champion knights and the unicorn holy beast to form a cone formation, with the strongest Taris and Mrak as the cone heads and charged forward. Looking down from the sky, dozens of knights completed shrinking into
He reached a point and broke through into the orc camp.
The patrols and sentries arranged by the orcs on the outside tried to block it, but were killed by the fighting spirit before they could even touch the edge.
The outer tunnel used to trap horses was also jumped over by the champion knights, and the fence was directly opened by the knights in the front row with fighting spirit, allowing the champion knights to break through. These defenses used to deal with ordinary cavalry were led by Talis
In front of the cavalry, all the effectiveness they were supposed to exert was lost. In a short period of time, dozens of cavalry, shrunk into a single point, rushed into the interior of the orc camp.
"Stop them!"
"Array of spears!"
In the night, the orc soldiers who were attacked were briefly panicked, but soon they organized themselves in an orderly manner under the control of the officers and began to try to stop the charging human cavalry.
The military quality of these orc soldiers is indeed not bad. Their response speed and organization when encountering a night attack definitely surpassed that of most armies. When Taris and Mrak led the cavalry to break through the fence outside the camp, as they advanced
Several thousand orc phalanxes appeared on the road, ready to block them.
These orcs are not a savage race that fights brainlessly in some movies, but a fighting race whose military literacy is equal to or even exceeds that of humans. The orcs in the front row hold up a large shield with both hands and insert the bottom of the shield diagonally into the ground, increasing the number of orcs.
Shield stability.
The several rows of orcs at the back pointed their nearly five-meter-long spears at the charging cavalry. There were more orcs holding axes, guns and other melee weapons gathered behind the spears. If any human cavalry broke through the shield formation and spear formation, they should
These axemen rushed forward to fight.
Normally speaking, no cavalry would dare to collide head-on with this kind of large shield and spear formation. Even the heavy cavalry with full armor would not be able to do well in front of this formation. Normally, the cavalry can only use their speed advantage in the formation.
Surrounding the surroundings, slowly harassing and nibbling away, you will find an opportunity to take another bite and slowly consume the opponent to death. However, it is obviously unrealistic to slowly consume the orcs in this camp. They are surrounded by orc soldiers, waiting for more.
When the soldiers reacted and surrounded them, it was not certain who would kill whom, and a direct impact would most likely result in a bloody head-on collision.
But that is a method to deal with ordinary cavalry, and it is completely ineffective when used on champion knights. Talis and Sir M'rak at the front of the team are both sky-level masters. Although their strength is not as good as that of legendary heroes like Gru, they are at least as good as the others.
How could the superb swordsman's first-class combat power and the large shield and spear formation of ordinary soldiers be able to stop them? Neither the champion knight nor the unicorn holy beast behind them could stand up to them.
"Chi!"
"boom!"
"ah!"
In the dark night, a few rays of fighting spirit were very dazzling. The outermost shield bearers and spearmen knocked down dozens of people at once. A big hole appeared in the original tight formation of the orcs. The surrounding orc warriors had not had time to plug the gap.
, the human cavalry has already entered through this gap.
"kill!"
"Stop them!"
"Chi!"
The destruction of the outer gun shield array did not affect the determination of this group of orc warriors to stop the cavalry. More orc warriors rushed forward with axes, guns and other weapons in their hands, trying to fight the human cavalry in hand-to-hand combat, taking the initiative in combat.
The sex is not bad at all.
It's just that the gap between these ordinary orc warriors and this human cavalry can no longer be described as a chasm. When the orc warriors raised their battle axes to stop the charging of the champion knights, they all became souls under the sword without exception, and some even died.
Without the champion knight slashing with his sword, he was directly knocked down by the red flame horse and trampled to death.
The unicorn holy beast continued to release blinding spells in the team to create chaos for the orcs, preventing the orcs from forming an effective formation to resist the impact of the cavalry. After a while, the cavalry led by Taris actually broke through several formations.
, before a large number of orc troops had time to react, they rushed to a place close to the core of the orc camp.
"Lord Sean!"
"The human cavalry is rushing in! Please hide for a while, sir!"
Near the commander's tent of the orc camp, due to the surprise attack by the human cavalry, a large number of personal guards had already gathered to protect Xi En. Among the more than a thousand personal guards, there were at least a dozen orc warriors, led by a large
The officers and commanders at the peak of the warrior ranks can be said to be the most elite members of the orc army.
"Why hide! The target of the human cavalry is the engineering camp!"
"Come with me to guard the engineering camp and order the surrounding soldiers to move closer to us. We must block this human cavalry."
"But…"
"Nothing to worry about, execute the order immediately!"
"Yes, Lord Sean!"
"The Guards follow me! Protect the engineering camp!"
After Sean finished speaking, he took his weapon and rushed towards the engineering camp not far away without looking back. The flag behind him also moved towards the engineering camp. More than a thousand personal guards naturally followed Sean.
After rushing to the engineering camp, plus the orc warriors gathered around, there were at least thousands of orc warriors near the entire engineering camp.
Sean's judgment is very accurate. The craftsmen of the engineering battalion and the siege equipment are the key to the orc army's attack on Dragonscale Castle. If these equipment are destroyed, the orcs will have to climb the wall when they attack tomorrow.
It's better to just surrender.
Therefore, when Sean found that the surrounding armies were unable to stop the human cavalry from breaking through, he decisively led the guard battalion and prepared to personally guard the equipment of the engineering battalion.
"Da da da…"
"rush!"
"kill!"
"boom!"
"ah!"
In the night, there were still brave orc soldiers rushing towards Taris and others sporadically, but like moths to a flame, they could not stop Taris and others from charging.
With Mrak's speed bonus, the team quickly rushed to the vicinity of the orc engineering camp. In addition to the equipment being used in front, almost all the siege equipment of the army was piled here. As long as they broke through the thousands of orcs outside the engineering camp,
The goal of this battle can be achieved.
"rush!"
Taris and Mrak had nothing to hesitate. Although the orcs' gathering speed when they were attacked at night was a bit faster than they initially expected, they still had great confidence.
Starting from the night attack, they had at least broken through the obstruction of tens of thousands of orcs and killed no less than a thousand orc warriors without any casualties. This was their confidence.
"boom!!"
"Stop these humans!"
"ah!"
The strong attack of the human cavalry quickly caused a large number of casualties to the orcs. This cavalry, composed entirely of earth-level combat forces and above, rushed into the orc formation as easily as an iron needle inserted into tofu. Even the orcs
Even the most elite bodyguard battalion in the army cannot stop the iron hoofs of the champion knights.
All the orcs blocking the charging path were either directly knocked away by the red flame horse, or simply killed by the outward fighting spirit before they encountered the champion knight. Before the champion knight exhausted his fighting spirit, these ordinary
It is difficult for the orc soldiers to pose any threat to them.
"This human cavalry army is actually real!"
"How is it possible, how is it possible!"
Sean, who saw the champion knight fighting the unicorn holy beast at close range, finally realized that the miraculous cavalry team rumored by the defeated soldiers was actually true. Humanity has a cavalry army composed entirely of earth knights.
, now it actually hit his face directly.
No wonder the more than a thousand wolf cavalry sent out before disappeared without even rolling over the waves.
No wonder the outer defense line was broken through without having any effect at all. How could these arrangements used to deal with ordinary cavalry stop an army composed entirely of earth-level warriors?
"Lance, spear!"
"Shieldhand!"
"Go! Stop them!"
After being attacked by the cavalry led by Taris, the response of the orcs gathered here was not slow, and could even be described as positive. Without waiting for Sean's order, the guards behind began to use shield formations and spears to organize a defense line, and even
There were also some crossbows that ignored the fact that there were more friendly troops around them and fired directly at the charging champion knight. However, these crossbows had no effect at all and quickly stopped.
Formations of orcs blocked each other, trying one after another to block the charge of the champion knights, but they still had little success after suffering huge casualties. The cavalry was still getting closer to the orcs, who were the key engineering battalion.
"Everyone follow me!"
"Lord Sean! We can take shelter for a while. The Seventh Legion has organized a flag regiment and is approaching..."
"There is no way to avoid it. Kill me! Either block this human cavalry, or let them step over our corpses!"
Sean had already risked his life at this time. This time he led the army to attack from the northern section. Originally, he was not the main attack route. He was only dispatched to contain the human army. As long as he attacked steadily and contained the human army, he was greedy for credit.
, now the army is trapped in this dilemma, only one step away from overturning.
If humans were allowed to destroy these siege equipment at this time, the army would basically have no hope. Without the army, he would not have the shame to go back alive alone, but he simply led the surrounding orc soldiers up with a determination to die.
Stop the footsteps of the human cavalry.
Sean's actions immediately boosted the morale of the surrounding orcs. The coach had to fight desperately, but how could ordinary soldiers be greedy for a living? The orc army, which had lost confidence after being killed by the human cavalry for a while, actually broke out in an astonishing way.
The will to fight, I would rather die than rush forward and use my body to block the progress of the horse's hooves.
Following Sean's move toward death, Taris and others' pace lags for the first time...
