Heroes of Might and Magic: Knight Chapter 50: Danger
"What is that?"
Marquis Wade was not the only one to notice the movement in the direction of the ogre camp.
The four legions on the battlefield also discovered the ogre's strange movements.
The four three-meter-tall ogre chiefs are too conspicuous.
It put great pressure on the Jingbei Army from afar,
We must not allow them to act at will on the battlefield.
This is the common will of several legion commanders of the Jingbei Army. The four great knights who have been taking command tacitly came forward with their guards. They must be restrained head-on by strong men of the same level, and then use the current numerical advantage. Just have a chance.
On the contrary, it is the two-headed ogre priest who looks very curious. Because he is relatively thin and hidden among the ogres, he has not attracted the attention of the Jingbei Army for the time being.
Compared to the several legion commanders on the battlefield, Marquis Wade, who was in an open field of vision, could see it more clearly.
"There are too many young ogres."
Compared to others who focused all their attention on a few ogre chiefs, Marquis Wade saw more.
In addition to several extremely oppressive ogre chiefs, the composition of the entire ogre tribe was also displayed on the battlefield.
Generally speaking, for an ogre tribe of more than 3,000 people, the number of young and strong people will be between 1,500 and 2,000. At this time, almost all the ogres who rushed out of the camp were young and strong. In addition to the more than 1,500 ogre warriors before,
According to this ratio, there are almost no old, weak, women and children in this tribe.
Of the more than three thousand ogre tribe, at most two to three hundred women and children were placed outside to confuse the Jingbei Army's investigation.
All of this is naturally the work of the two-headed ogre priest.
In order to set up this trap, he replaced all the young warriors of several other large ogre tribes with the tribe currently at war with the Jingbei Army.
He even gathered all the ogre warriors from the four large tribes together, and then made a posture of marching eastward to destroy the production of the Northland, attracting the Jingbei army to crusade, and then annihilated Jingbei who came to the wilderness to crusade. military.
However, what surprised him a little was the decisive stance of the Jingbei Army. Usually, to deal with a large ogre tribe, the Jingbei Army would dispatch at most two legions to be considered equal in combat strength.
Unexpectedly, nearly four legions were directly dispatched this time, creating a situation of even strength.
"Kill!"
"Bang!"
Soon, the Jingbei Army that came to stop them collided with the team led by the two-headed ogre priest.
Soon, the Jingbei Army who came out to stop him discovered something different about this ogre.
"Damn, why are there so many ogre warriors."
Excluding the existence of kobolds who make up the numbers, these more than a thousand ogres are actually more than a thousand quasi-knight level combatants and dozens of knight-level ogre warriors.
Due to their racial talents, human knights and great knights are somewhat weaker than ogre warriors and chiefs.
The same level lost its numerical advantage, and the Jingbei Army soon fell into a disadvantage.
"Lord Reese, save me!"
Reese is the commander of the first legion of the Jingbei Army and one of the several great knights in Piaoxue City. Although he does not have the surname Lanster, he has also reached the high position of legion commander with his strength as a great knight. Become the few people at the top of the pyramid in the entire Northland.
But now Reese is no longer as high-spirited as before.
Reese had just fought with an ogre chief and fell into a disadvantage. Just one blow made Reese's hands numb from the shock, and he could barely hold the sword in his hand.
Relying on the restraint of his fearless personal guards and two or three knight-level officers, Reese could barely contend with an ogre chief.
However, this balance of power did not last long before it was broken,
One of Reese's knights fell behind, and his weapon was knocked away by the ogre chief with a stick, and he fell to the ground.
The knight watched in despair as the ogre chief's mace fell, and had no choice but to cry out to Reese for help.
Reese was unable to rescue him in time, and could only watch his men being beaten to death by the ogre chief like watermelons, without even having time to scream.
Less didn't even have time to feel sad for the death of his capable man, the ogre chief rushed towards him again.
Reese had no choice but to grit his teeth and face him again.
A few ogre chiefs and others barely resisted, but the impact of dozens of ogre warriors directly shook the Jingbei Army's front.
Without enough knight-level warriors to restrain them, ordinary soldiers began to face the powerful ogre warriors, relying solely on their flesh and blood to withstand the impact of these ogres.
Just like in modern warfare, ordinary soldiers are helpless when facing tanks and can only fill them with human lives.
Now their only hope is the reserve of half the legion in the hands of Marquis Wade and the cavalry flag regiment that has been wandering outside.
Marquis Wade also faced a difficult choice at this time,
If this situation continues, it will be a matter of time before the troops fighting at the front collapse.
But the remaining power in his hands may not have the ability to turn the tide of the battle.
This group of ogres was so unexpected. They were all young and strong. Four chiefs and a larger number of ogre warriors appeared in one breath, causing Marquis Wade to completely lose control of the battle.
After a moment of hesitation, Marquis Wade gave the order for Weilu to lead the cavalry to attack.
The three legions that went up have been bitten and cannot retreat. The ogres can run faster than humans. If they retreat now, it will only cause an avalanche-like collapse.
No matter what weirdness these ogres have, Marquis Wade can only bite the bullet and put all his chips on it,
Sometimes war is like a dog game. You have more chips than anyone else, you have more endurance than anyone else, and you have better luck than anyone else.
"Lancet!"
"Lancet!"
"Attack!"
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
After giving the order to attack to Weilu, Marquis Wade also pulled out the long sword from his waist and personally led the reserve team of the last half of the legion to press forward.
Now that the decision has been made, Marquis Wade will mobilize all his forces without hesitation. It would be foolish to have any reservations at this time.
……
"Drive! Drive!"
Thundering hoofbeats sounded, even covering up the fighting on the battlefield. Weilu, who had long been eager to fight, received Marquis Wade's permission and launched a charge from the side of the ogre without hesitation.
The cavalry, which had been recuperating for a long time, greatly inspired the soldiers of the Jingbei Army who were on the verge of collapse,
They are all veterans who have experienced battles for a long time, so they naturally know what the cavalry's mass charge means.
Compared with the Jingbei Army infantry, the cavalry caused significantly greater noise and impact.
The two-headed ogre priest also seemed to be paying attention to the cavalry led by Weilu.
"It's finally here."
"Do you want to use that one?"
"In order to win, it must be used."
"Well, I hope this is the last time."
After a brief exchange between the two heads of the two-headed ogre priest, he began to mutter something, then spread his hands and shouted loudly towards the sky, and a red light came from the two-headed ogre. issued from the hands of the priest.
"Go!"
