At dawn, the sun shines directly down, making it look a little dazzling. The spring sunshine rarely looks a bit harsh.
However, the light wall did not disappear due to direct sunlight. Instead, it changed from white light to a substantial black. Mottled red traces flashed from time to time on it, which was more conspicuous than the light wall at night, always reminding people within the range not to fight.
Try to leave this range before ending.
…
Streams of smoke drifted out from the camps of the Northland Army and the Orc Army. Soldiers from both sides took turns cooking and resting. Those who moved faster were already gathering to prepare for war. Millions of troops were actually following each other at a distance of more than ten miles.
There's not much difference.
At night, Catherine also sent an army of undead to sneak attack and test the situation, but the orcs on guard were able to block it and did not get much advantage.
At this time, there is no longer much meaning in playing tricks. Both sides are restricted to a very small plain area, and every move will be clearly seen by the other side.
…
"Drive, drive, drive..."
"Come on!"
"kill!"
The infantry of both sides were still preparing, divided into several groups and slowly approached, but the cavalry had already made contact first. Sir M'Lak led tens of thousands of horsemen to bite the centaur and a team of ten thousand, eating them like maggots attached to the bones.
other side.
"boom!"
"boom!"
Mrak relied on force and rushed to the front with the violent female Taris. The surrounding centaurs had almost no enemies. The meteor hammer could smash the brains of the centaur warriors when it hit them.
Even a leader-level centaur would find it difficult to take M'rak's move.
In comparison, Taris, who just slashed with a sword, seemed much gentler, but the killing efficiency was not much worse than M'lak. M'lak smashed the opponent's brain, while Taris only left a blow in the opponent's vital position.
The next wound.
The two of them were spears, and hundreds of centaur warriors had fallen wherever they passed. Among them, there was a centurion who did not believe in evil and came up to intercept Sir M'rak, who was killed by M'rak with a single hammer.
Under normal circumstances, the centaurs would have been defeated by now. Although they were more numerous, they could not withstand the unilateral killings crushed by the high-end combat power of the human cavalry. The champion knights and independent warriors followed closely behind.
The Horned Holy Beast, and even the weaker Red Flame Knights, are not something that centaur warriors can fight against. They can only sacrifice their lives to consume the opponent's fighting spirit and physical strength. The centaur leader is not willing to bear such heavy casualties for the orcs.
But now, the centaur also has a reason to fight. The centaur leader is not blind. They could clearly see the two figures and the wall of light in the air last night.
Even after the orcs tried it, the centaur gave it a try. After saving two lives, he found that he had no way out. Although he was unwilling to do so, the centaur also knew that he and the orcs had become a rope.
The grasshopper was on the ground, and it was impossible to leave the orcs and run away. I could only follow the words of the two figures in the sky at night and fight to the last person.
Therefore, in the cavalry battle in the early morning, the Centaur performed much more actively. As soon as Mrak came up with his men, the Centaur took the initiative to send a team of ten thousand people to fight.
"Chief Hutt, Chief Apudu's side is no longer able to hold on, do you want to withdraw?"
The Centaur officer on the side obviously did not have the consciousness to fight to the end. Seeing the heavy casualties of the ten thousand people in front, he subconsciously felt that he should retreat.
"Retreat? Where to retreat? We have no way out."
"Don't the orcs want us to pester each other?"
"Send a team of two thousand people up, and then ask for help from the orc wolf cavalry. Ask them to send at least five thousand cavalry, and together we will find a way to entangle this human cavalry!"
"Yes, Leader Hutt!"
"Rumble..."
Accompanied by the thunderous sound of horse hooves, a group of dark centaur warriors rushed out from the formation on the flank of the orc army, followed by a small number of wolf riders. Without any hesitation, they headed towards the unilateral massacre of centaurs under the leadership of their officers.
Warrior Dumlak and his party rushed forward.
"boom!"
"Chi!"
"Lord Mrak! Two more Centaur troops of ten thousand people have arrived from the orc side, as well as some wolf cavalry. Do we want to withdraw?"
Counting the ten thousand centaur troops they were furiously tearing apart, the enemy's cavalry strength was already more than three times that of our own.
An ordinary commander would have considered running away by now, but Mrak glanced around first, as if confirming something.
After a long time, M'lak smiled softly, probably because he saw something.
The orcs not only dispatched 20,000 centaurs and some orc wolf cavalry for support, but also secretly mobilized 20,000 multi-armored infantry on both sides to detour. As long as Mrak was entangled by the centaurs for a while, the elite orcs of this legion would also
Jump forward and join the battle. By then, Mrak's less than 10,000 people will have to face an enemy five or six times their size.
These five or six times the number of enemies are not just a mob, but well-trained elites. If they are trapped, the only ones who can be sure of escaping are Mraktalis and even the champion knights.
Was consumed in it.
"It's hard to explain why they put so much effort into setting up such a simple game."
"withdraw!"
"Withdraw, withdraw, withdraw..."
Sir Mrak was not a stubborn person. He did not become arrogant after taking some advantage with his cavalry. When he saw that he could no longer take any advantage, he decisively gave the order to retreat.
The human cavalry, which had just been chasing the orc wolf cavalry and centaur warriors for a killing spree, quickly retreated under Sir M'rak's order.
The ten thousand men being chased and bitten by Sir Mrak and his cavalry had no ability to entangle the Northern cavalry.
After Mrak ordered the retreat, the entire human cavalry left the battle almost instantly.
If you want to entangle human cavalry, a team of ten thousand people is still not enough...
Without the entanglement of the centaur cavalry, the cavalry under Mrak's command were faster, and the orc infantry who were approaching in a roundabout way on both sides were thrown far away.
"Leader Hutt, do you want to pursue him?"
"No more pursuit, retreat!"
"Yes, leader!"
Not only did the orcs send out infantry to try to encircle them, the Northland army also sent out reinforcements to relieve the siege at any time.
In the distance, a mass of black skeleton cavalry was approaching. The scarlet soul fire in the eyes of the more than twenty death knights led by them made the centaur shudder.
After several rounds of contact between the cavalry of both sides, the centaur warriors and the orc wolf cavalry still suffered heavy losses. The orc infantry repeatedly tried to intervene in the battle in a roundabout way, but Mrakye Talis' battlefield sense of smell was too sensitive, no matter what the orc side adopted.
In some way, the human cavalry can always break away from the battle one step ahead and jump out of the encirclement of the orc infantry.
However, because the centaurs became more active in fighting, the losses suffered by the human cavalry also gradually increased.
"Master Mrak, we have destroyed at least three thousand more centaur warriors, but we have also lost more than two hundred cavalry, and the skeleton cavalry also lost a lot."
"The Red Flame Knights also killed five knights in the battle. They were all knocked off their horses in the chaos after their fighting spirit was exhausted."
In a large-scale cavalry battle, falling off the horse almost means death. Let alone the knight class, even falling into the earth class is very dangerous. Only the sky class has the ability to fly directly into the air and fly a short distance away from the battle.
It is normal for ordinary Northland cavalry to suffer losses. After all, they are just ordinary elites. They ride on Western horses and wear Northland standard armor. They may not be able to win one-on-one with centaurs. They can hit such a high level.
The damage ratio relies entirely on high-end combat power to suppress the Centaur's momentum.
But the loss of five members of the Red Flame Knights speaks volumes. These knights riding red flame horses and wrapped in iron skins generally suffered zero casualties in previous battles. Ordinary centaur warriors faced off against them.
It's hard for them to even break through defenses, let alone cause casualties to them.
Now because the centaurs are starting to work hard, the consumption of the Red Flame Knight has increased a lot. With less to fight more, the recovery of fighting spirit and physical strength can't keep up. Wearing a heavy armor, the defense is not broken by weapons but directly
Due to physical exertion, he fell from his horse, resulting in five casualties.
"Forget it, let's go back and rest for a while. These centaurs are starting to work hard."
M'lak gave an order, and the cavalry who had left the battle quickly returned to the flank of the army. The skeleton cavalry also turned away, without giving the orc infantry a chance to make head-on contact.
It was not that the orc infantry who were pursuing in a roundabout way did nothing. After Mrak led his men to retreat, the orcs who came around collected the centaur corpses. It is not accurate to say that they did so, because they did not have time to kill half of the centaurs who died in the battle.
The men and horses carried it back directly, but simply destroyed the corpse to prevent the skeleton cavalry team from growing again.
…
"Dang! Dang! Dang!"
"Retreat quickly, retreat quickly!"
As the golden sound rang out, the centaur warriors and the roundabout orc infantry who rushed forward to support also retreated as fast as they could, otherwise they would have become a prominent part of the battlefield.
The protagonists of this war are still the huge infantry groups on both sides. The shackles of war actually limit the performance of the cavalry to a minimum. When the black infantry on both sides press forward, the cavalry with no room for movement can only retreat.
He went under the cover of the infantry formation.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
As the war drums beat loudly, a large number of infantrymen pressed forward. The orcs dispatched ten legions at once, organized into different square formations, and began to advance forward. The Northland Army also set up a similar formation.
He came up in a posture of decisive battle.
Both sides had little time to build camps. It was pointless to rely on large camps for defense. On the contrary, it was self-limitation. After the cavalry tried a little and failed to get any decisive first move, both sides took the initiative to fight. In the end, they had to rely on the infantry to fight decisively.
