In the nine hundred and sixty-fifth year of the Roland Empire, August 4th.
This morning, the soldiers waiting on the wall of Kaspersky's main fortress finally saw the enemy who had been waiting for a long time!
With the help of the rising sun, a dark trail appeared on the northern horizon.
It started as a black line, and as it moved slowly, the black line turned into a black cloud like ants.
On the city wall, the soldiers could hear the movement in the wind, the heavy footsteps trampling on the ground, the clinking of weapons and armor as the large group of enemies walked, and the heavy breathing... Tens of thousands of enemies The movement of the wind comes with the wind! Looking from a distance from the city wall, the black mass of enemies, like a black torrent, was pressing down on the Kaspersky line of defense along the flat plains in the north.
Swords and guns are like forests, and iron armor is like clouds!
Although it was August, the climate in the north was still not warm, especially because when tens of thousands of orcs marched, the white air breathed out by tens of thousands of orcs seemed to be clearly visible. And then, what shocked the soldiers on the city wall was that among the orc queues, in the front row, next to each huge phalanx, the one walking in front was a tall monster that they had never seen before!
The height of that kind of monster is more than five or six meters from the visual inspection. It is huge and strong, like a giant bear, and it is covered with iron armor like a giant. It looks very rough, but it is full of hard feeling.
And on the necks of these behemoths. And with a thick chain. There is also a huge hexagonal hammer hanging from the waist of each giant beast!
As they walk, their huge bodies move step by step. Trampling on the ground, there was a heavy bang bang bang bang sound! And the chests of these behemoths. Each giant beast also holds a huge drum. while walking. Holding up the stick. Beat hard. Formed a strange rhythm!
And the army of tens of thousands of orcs. Just follow the rhythm of the drumbeat. Go slowly. Drive all the way to the front of the Kaspersky line of defense!
There is still a distance of about one kilometer before the trench terrain under the city wall. The orcs finally stopped.
above the city wall. The officer held a telescope purchased from the northwest. Looking nervously at the enemies in front.
really. The news sent back by the scouts is the same! That is a monster that no one has ever seen before! Each of them is like a human being with a beast head growing up. The body size is stronger and burly than human beings. tusks. Blood gushed out. Full body fur. But with a weapon. Wearing armor, when the orc army finally stopped. From them to queue. A huge banner was picked up.
From the perspective of human civilization. The flag was so rudimentary that it was almost ridiculous. It seems to be a huge animal skin. Moreover, the fur on the surface of the animal hide has all fallen off. On it, blood is probably used to draw all kinds of messy patterns like ghost symbols that humans can't understand.
Just after the human officer saw the flag. Just about to make fun of a few words. To ease the tension of the soldiers around you...
When that flag was hoisted. Tens of thousands of orcs seem to have received some kind of great encouragement. Those orcs suddenly raised their weapons high. Sent a soaring roar!
It is conceivable that tens of thousands of beasts howled at the same time. The movement and the sound. Immediately, the faces of many human soldiers on the city wall changed.
All beasts howled. The situation changes color!
"Make way for the general!"
With a majestic shout from behind. A group of people quickly walked up from behind the city wall. The soldiers on the city wall pushed aside one after another.
There are many generals in the Storm Legion. General Rostock surrounded them. Walked up the city wall.
The supreme commander of the empire's northern defense line. Stand by the wall. Stomp against the wall. Looking coldly into the distance. He also took a telescope produced in the Northwest from the hand of the entourage around him. Watched for a while.
"Not many." General Rostock said coldly.
"Yes, my lord. According to visual inspection, there should be no more than 20,000 people." A division head replied immediately.
"Humph. They are not "people". I think it should be "20,000"! Hahahaha!" A mighty general deliberately laughed out loud. His voice spread far and wide. With incomparable confidence. It made many soldiers with fearful faces feel relieved.
"Roenthal. Don't underestimate the enemy." Rostock glanced at the subordinate who laughed and scolded loudly... This general looked about thirty years old. The posture is majestic. A square face. Angular. Thick eyebrows and big eyes. The beard on the face is not clean. There is still a faint green stubble. and. His appearance is six to seven points similar to that of General Rostock.
"Yes... Father." The general named Luo Yantar immediately responded in a low voice, and he glanced a few times in the distance. There is quite a bit of eagerness in the eyes.
"Call me my lord." Rostock said with a serious face, "Remember your identity! General Roenthal!"
The generals around looked at the pair of father and son. No one plugged in. The old general is strict and impartial. Everyone knows it.
Rostock stands on the ramparts. He squinted into the distance.
at this time. The tens of thousands of troops of the orcs have dispersed. They left a phalanx in the front row. Quickly pull away. A human wall was formed.
And behind. The orc hordes went to work quickly. They carried a large amount of wood from the rear.
Start camping in the distance...
"It's just a vanguard. They seem to be camping here." Rostock sneered.
"A message came from General Andre's airship. Visually, there are no reinforcements near their rear! Obviously, this is their vanguard." A general said: "Hmph. It seems that these monsters can also fight."
"Smarter than Warcraft." Rostock snorted. He looked into the distance.
In less than a quarter of an hour. Those orcs have built a rough wooden wall. Those orcs were strong and strong. It is very good work. There was a constant sound of ping-pong-pong from behind, and a large amount of wood was brought up.
"Father... my lord!" Luo Yantar immediately shouted: "My lord! This is their vanguard, and they are here to set up camp and attack the front line. I see. Take advantage of the present.
Let's send people out for a while. Kill them with vigor! If you are lucky. Maybe I can eat this group of people in one bite! "
"There are 20,000 of them." Another general also said: "But it seems that half of them are working as engineers. Moreover, they are camping out in front of our ground like this. They don't take us seriously!"
"It's not easy to eat." Rostock made a decision: "Since we have strong walls and fortifications, we don't need to waste the lives and blood of soldiers fighting with them."
His words. Immediately let his son Luo Yantar show a disappointed expression.
But the old general changed the subject: "But. We just watched them set up camp. We didn't do anything. It's too weak. It will hurt our morale! I need someone to take someone out to fight them. It doesn't take much .See the long formation they put in the front line? That is the battle formation they used to defend against our attack. Send a cavalry battalion out. Go and teach them a lesson."
"My lord, send me!" At the same time, four or five generals called out to fight.
Rostock turned his eyes around the faces of this group of people. Especially his son. Rosenthal looked excited and expectant.
"Don't procrastinate, don't be greedy for war. I don't want to eat 20,000 people in one bite. Just show them a little bit of strength. More importantly, what I need is to test their combat effectiveness in the field! See how powerful they are! Strong... I need a smart person. Not a person who doesn't know how to advance or retreat when his brain is hot."
The old general's eyes deliberately missed his son. Said these words slowly.
Rosenthal was in a hurry. He struggled to take two steps forward: "I'll go! My lord. I will definitely not act impulsively!"
"Miro!" The old general announced a name. An officer about forty years old came up from behind: "My lord!"
"You go. Take a cavalry battalion. Three thousand cavalry is enough. Remember. I just want to test the combat effectiveness of these enemies! Of course, if you can expand the results of the battle. You are welcome. But be cautious!"
The officer named Mirodi was very excited. After saluting immediately, he turned and left. Luo Yantar, who was on the sidelines, sighed helplessly. He looked at his father aggrievedly.
"Look carefully. Kid. You are too hot-tempered. You are too impulsive. What I want now is to get the accuracy of the enemy's combat power. You are a brave general, but you don't know how to use your brain!"
Following orders. The three gates on the back of Kaspersky's front main game were opened at the same time. A cavalry battalion of the Storm Legion opened out from among the three city gates.
Among the many trenches. There is also a passage left. The three thousand-man teams quickly assembled outside the city.
The cavalry of the Storm Legion. Raised the sharp spear in his hand. With a cry. Three thousand cavalry broke out with a voice: "Fight for Roland!!"
Tens of thousands of defenders on the city wall also responded to the shouts. In the midst of the boiling, the horseshoe trampled on it!
The Empire's most elite Stormtrooper subway ride. It quickly galloped up like a torrent. Fiercely rushed to the long formation of the orcs in the front!
Horseshoes trample the earth and dust it up. The heavy iron armor on the cavalry made a crisp crashing sound.
dusty. A thousand steps, a hundred steps... The cavalry lowered their bodies and clung to their horses. The spear is pointed forward horizontally. It's like a forest of sharp edges!
"kill!!"
Thousands of voices shout together!
The phalanx placed at the front by the orcs gathered quickly. And those orc soldiers. Quickly took off the huge iron shield that was always behind his back! Each iron shield is nearly two meters high!
Thousands of iron shields. It was firmly inserted into the ground, and the orc had great strength. Enough for these iron shields to be inserted into the hard frozen ground!
Then, the orc soldiers behind crowded together. Fight against the shield! A long row of iron shields. Under the sun, there is a cold luster of metal. It's like an iron wall!
boom! !
The torrent of cavalry finally slammed into that iron wall head-on!
The forefront of the imperial cavalry. After smashing hard on the iron wall, a burst of blood and flames suddenly burst out! The cavalry at the forefront tried to break through the opponent's iron wall with the help of horsepower, but less than half of the cavalry managed to break in!
Those orcs were strong and strong. Although they are infantry. But every orc is more than two meters tall on average, and those are stronger. Even standing there. He was almost as tall as a cavalryman sitting on a horse! Coupled with their powerful beast-like strength.
Even though it's a galloping horse. With the help of the power of the horse charge. The first wave of the imperial cavalry attack. Break through that iron wall. But immediately paid the loss of more than a hundred people!
After the ground shield wall was knocked out of the gap. The imperial cavalry just rushed in. But found a helpless situation... These enemies are really too tall!
If it is human cavalry fighting human infantry, it only needs to break through the opponent's frontal fortifications. Then the cavalry charged. Even by bumping and trampling. It can also cause great damage to the enemy. But these enemies. They stand no lower than horses on the ground. Some are even higher!
Individual cavalry who broke through the shield wall. Just broke through a gap. After rushing in. What awaited them was the ruthless blade of the orc!
The first wave to charge. The cavalry at the forefront suddenly turned on their backs!
But. As the most elite army in the northern battle of the empire. The cavalry of the Storm Legion do not lack courage and loyalty! Although screaming. The cavalry behind still showed no trace of fear. With the courage to swear to the death. They rushed forward one after another!
soon. The originally connected shield wall was broken everywhere. And central. The mainstream of the cavalry broke a huge gap in the iron wall! The cavalry behind rushed in quickly. The spears in the hands of the cavalry stabbed fiercely at the huge monsters around them-the opponent's body was huge. However, it is also beneficial to let the cavalry sit on the horse and assassinate them. Because they hardly need to observe. Although the opponent's huge body has powerful strength. But it looks bulky!
finally. Orcs are strong though. But use infantry to deal with human cavalry. Their defenses also began to collapse.
It's just that the speed of the cavalry's charge has been completely reduced. The human cavalry who broke through the enemy's shield wall seemed to be stuck in a quagmire! There are people all around. The human horsepower can't be used at all!
The charge of the cavalry turned into a battle of strangulation!
The fighting power of the orcs far exceeds the imagination of human soldiers! Often, the spears they stabbed with all their strength pierced the orcs' bodies, but they couldn't immediately make the opponent lose their fighting power!
More orcs showed a strength that made human beings helpless! There are even some orc warriors with several spears stuck in their bodies, but they can cut down the spearmen with a roar, and then use their huge bodies to pounce directly, throwing the cavalry off the horse!
"Draw the sword! Draw the sword!! Kill them!
The general leading the army, Mi Luo, was already covered in blood, and it was hard to tell whether the blood on the armor was his own or the opponent's!
He quickly realized this twisted situation, the spear in the cavalry's hand could not be used at all, and he had already grabbed his own cross sword. As a middle-level knight, this general has already burst out with fighting spirit on his long sword!
He slashed the head of an orc in front of him with all his might, shouting loudly.
The cavalry also gave up the spears in their hands, grabbed the crossed swords and started a hand-to-hand fight with the opposing orcs! There are screams everywhere, blood everywhere! !
The human cavalry is in a bitter fight! Because the orc armor is very hard and thick! Because they have naturally excellent physiques, the kind of iron armor weighing tens of kilograms or even hundreds of kilograms on their bodies will not reduce their combat effectiveness in the slightest!
Compared with human beings, although the armor of orcs is crude, it is very thick! !
Many Roland soldiers found that they had worked so hard to cut down the opponent, but could not break through the opponent's hard armor, but in such a dazed effort, the opponent had already cut off the human soldier's head with his backhand!
Humans, on the other hand, cannot wear that kind of thick armor, and these cavalry are not heavy cavalry in the true sense. Their armor only weighs about 20 kilograms, and it is only thickened in some vital parts...
But these orcs possess enormous power, and with one strike, they can even dent the armor of human soldiers!
There are also some orcs who use a sledgehammer, a hammer, even if your chest armor is thicker, it can directly dent your chest deeply!
More and more cavalrymen were knocked off their horses.
In the distance, General Rostock on the city wall has a gloomy face! And behind him, Luo Yantar, who was still confident just now, also showed a shocked expression!
Frontal charge of cavalry against infantry
This is a frontal charge of cavalry against infantry "and the strength of the two sides is almost equal!" !
Based on most of the previous battles of human beings, in the case of almost equal forces, once the cavalry rushed to the front of the infantry line, it would be a massacre!
But these orc monsters, using their super sturdy qualities and their flesh and blood, blocked the frontal charge of three thousand cavalry! !
With the help of horsepower, human beings barely broke through the opponent's array, but they couldn't penetrate it! Actually fell into strangulation! !
Finally, in the desperate and courageous battle of the human cavalry, the orcs began to retreat slowly, and the cavalry behind kept rushing forward, and more and more cavalry rushed in through the gap, like a wave A wave of waves slapped the opponent's array fiercely.
Looking from the city wall, the array of orcs began to be pressed thicker and thicker, more and more scattered, and then kept moving backwards.
But every time the cavalry advanced, they paid a huge price in blood!
Finally, after Milo, the leader of the army, knocked down the last orc in front of him with a single sword, there were no living enemies around him.
And the orc warriors retreated on a large scale, and they ran back one after another. And Milo was about to yell to chase after him, but he glanced around, his eyes suddenly went dark!
Around him, there are almost no soldiers who can stand properly!
Most of the soldiers of the Roland Empire who rushed into the array of orcs were beaten off their horses.
And although these orcs retreated, they did not cause any chaos. Milo had many wounds on his body, his horse had been killed long ago, and his long sword collided with the hammer of an orc warrior just now. It deformed after a few strokes.
The orc soldiers retreated, and behind the erected wooden wall, groups of orc soldiers came out in line.
Looking around, there are probably only half of the 3,000 cavalry left. Milo gritted his teeth fiercely: "Back!"
This is the first time in 10,000 years that the human army has faced the orc army in a large-scale field battle.
Three thousand human cavalry fought against four thousand orc infantry, and the losses of both sides were almost the same... but the human casualties were more serious!
Under Rostock's order, another cavalry battalion left the fortress, but this cavalry did not go up to fight, but retreated back to support Milo's army.
The orcs stood far behind the wooden wall that had just been built, watching the movements of these human troops coldly.
Because I know that these orcs are cannibals. So Rostock ordered that every soldier's body left on the battlefield be brought back as much as possible.
Three thousand supporting cavalry lined up, confronting the orcs in the distance, while others nervously carried the corpses. The orcs didn't come forward, but General Rostock, who was standing on the city wall, had a dignified expression on his face!
"Strong enemy."
Luo Yantar suddenly said such a sentence.
"It is indeed a strong enemy." The old general sighed, looking at the generals with different faces behind him: "They used no more than 4,000 infantry to resist the frontal charge of our 3,000 cavalry, and persisted for more than two minutes. Bell! I don't think a human infantry army can do that."
After pausing for a while, the old general suddenly muttered in a low voice: "This is the first battle... Even if you win, you lose."
