Heroes of Might and Magic: Knight Chapter 600: Mutation

More than ten days ago, humans and orcs were fighting fiercely on the central plains.

Although humans retreated from Longxiang Pass, they were not fooled after all. The top management had long considered the issue of Longxiang Pass being lost and had already made a plan to stop the enemy on the central plains.

In addition to the dense castle defense points and several key cities, including the city of Clais where the great prince is seated, there is also an elite force roaming and fighting on the central plain, relying on the strength of the people on the plain. Castles and cities greatly restricted the power of the orcs.

"Boom, boom, boom..."

"Boom, boom, boom..."

On the plain, the rumble of horse hooves sounded, and an orc army that was attacking the human castle seemed to be in a dilemma. When they attacked the human castle, they encountered the lingering human cavalry.

Although the Western Cavalry suffered considerable losses in the battles inside and outside Dragon's Breathing Pass, the main force was still intact. Duke Ross seemed to have expected his own death. After returning to Long's Breathing Pass, he became the leader of the Western Border Army. Lu made arrangements, including who would lead the Western Border Army.

After the fall of Longxingguan, the Western Cavalry first covered the evacuation of many elite Longxingguan regiments, and then retreated after a confrontation with the orc wolf cavalry. Even the white cavalry who had been stationed on the southern front retreated. The Wolf Warriors completely withdrew from the Longxingguan defense line.

In addition to Gru on the northern front, who was afraid of the orc army attacking from the opposite side and still led more than 100,000 people to retreat intact after the fall of Longxing Pass, the Western Cavalry was also one of the few armies to retreat intact. .

"Kill!"

"Human cavalry! Human cavalry!"

"Don't panic!"

"Formation, formation!"

The besieged castle is a large castle on the central plains. It has more than 5,000 garrisoned defenders. It is considered one of the outer defense points of Clais City. It is an angle with many castles and has always been there. They were able to hold on for so long despite the orcs' attack. In addition to their own tight defenses, the support of the Western Cavalry was also an important factor.

The orc army attacking the castle consisted of two flag regiments with tens of thousands of people, which is equivalent to twice the number of castle defenders. Considering the gap in combat power between orcs and humans, one flag regiment's defenders could handle twice as many Even with solid walls and complete fortifications as support, the orcs' attack was still too much to bear.

The castle walls were covered with arrows and charred corpses that were sizzling with fire oil. Many orc warriors who had been drenched in gold juice were rolling over and over under the city wall, screaming in an attempt to relieve the pain. There were also orc warriors who directly He was nailed to the ground by a giant arrow two to three meters long, and was obviously shot directly by the heavy crossbow on the castle. The heavy armor on his chest was of no use against such war equipment.

Just looking at the top and bottom of the city wall, you can already outline a semi-tragic siege battle. Although there are many corpses of orc warriors left under the city, more orc warriors have rushed up the siege ladder to the castle. It was the corpse of an orc, which was an essential loss during the siege.

After all, the various defense equipment and preparations on the human castle are not decorations, but the fighting on the city wall is completely dominated by the orcs.

After several orc warriors climbed up the city wall, a few of them took control of a section of the city wall. The human army counterattacked several times but could not drive them down. Instead, they left corpses on the ground, while more orc warriors Follow the gap and rush towards the city wall.

Although the heavy armor on the orc warriors is useless against crossbows, kerosene, and rocks and wooden bars thrown from high altitudes, it will be different after rushing to the city wall. The swords in the hands of ordinary soldiers It is difficult to break through the defense. A professional pickaxe sometimes requires two or three hits, but the orc warriors can easily knock down the human soldiers with their strength advantage.

For the same heavy-armored warriors, human soldiers are seriously injured even if they are killed by orcs' battle axes. Orcs can often sustain multiple wounds and continue to fight. Only knight-level masters can use fighting spirit to directly break through the orcs' heavy armor. , but how many knight-level masters are there on the city wall? Most of them have to save their fighting spirit to deal with the more powerful orc warriors. At this time, even though the human soldiers on the city wall are fighting bravely, the attacking orc troops are steadily occupying the city wall, and then they If nothing unexpected happens when we come down, it will be a matter of time before more orc soldiers rush to the city wall and the castle changes hands.

Until a large number of Western Cavalry suddenly appeared in the rear, disrupting the rhythm of the orcs' attack.

"Whoosh!"

"Whoosh!"

"Whoosh!"

"Shield! Raise the shield!"

"Bang, bang!"

"Ah!"

Below the city, the orcs were also prepared for the attack of the human cavalry. At this time, whether they were human soldiers or orc soldiers, the ones who fought fiercely here were all elites who had been fighting for a long time.

There may not be many experts in both teams, but they have enough combat experience. Faced with the surprise attack of the human cavalry, the orc army that was still attacking the city did not show any confusion at all. The soldiers below the city quickly turned to form formations. The cavalry was given little chance.

The orc warriors who originally attacked the city withdrew in an orderly manner. Although there were some losses due to the human pursuit on the city wall, there was no chaos, and the losses were still within the commander's acceptance range.

With this kind of reaction speed, if the millions of sea tribe troops had this kind of military quality, even if there were systematic troops and undead legions to rely on, Richard would not win so easily.

Although the orcs are elite, the human cavalry who came to the rescue are the trump cards in the human army. The Western Cavalry is a knife sharpened by generations of Western Dukes in the Western Desert. Compared with the individual strength, it may not be as good as the orcs, but its military quality and In terms of fighting will, he is definitely still superior to the orcs.

Seeing that the orcs were not in any confusion and quickly formed their formation, the Western Cavalry, which had not found a chance, did not attack rashly and used cavalry to attack the infantry, especially the infantry in strict formation. There would be no commander until the last resort. Do this.

About two hundred meters away from the orc army, the Western Cavalry actually pulled out more than 20 divine crossbows and started firing arrows at the orc array. The divine crossbow, a sharp weapon that could barely deal with the white dragon, shot Entering the orc army, a stream of blood mist was immediately brought up.

Even if there are orc warriors in the front row setting up a large shield, the effect is not good. The powerful power of the giant arrow can directly lift these shield bearers away.

"Whoosh!"

"Whoosh!"

"Whoosh!"

Two or three minutes later, more than twenty arrows flew into the orcs' queue, causing more than ten casualties to the orcs. At this time, the orcs' strict formation made them immovable targets. The hit rate of the Divine Power Crossbow is extremely high. Almost half of the arrows can be harvested, and some arrows can even string two or three orc warriors on them.

"Damn it!"

"These hateful humans!"

"We must move!"

"Let the team line up and move forward!"

"Let the wolf cavalry report the news, here comes the human cavalry!"

"The remaining wolf cavalry will harass them from the flanks and try to entangle them!"

"Yes, General!"

The orc commander was incompetent and furious at the Western Army's tactics. In order not to be passively beaten where he was, he could only order the team to move forward and close the map to get closer to the Western Army.

"Hey, these orcs and wolf cavalry are here again, more than five hundred of them. If we eat them all, we will have a big harvest today."

"Don't be careless, let the troops retreat, don't make direct contact with the orcs, and don't fight the wolf cavalry before the orc infantry is in chaos."

"Yes, Lord Adil!"

Leading more than 10,000 Western Territory cavalry to come to the rescue was one of the legions of the Western Territory Army, the Great Knight Adil.

Human beings do have extraordinary talents when it comes to killing, especially professional butchers like the Western Army. A bunch of divine crossbows have actually been developed with a whole new set of gameplay in their hands.

The Divine Power Crossbow is originally a lightweight bed crossbow. It is not as powerful as the Orcs' Dragon Hunting Crossbow, but its mobility is much higher. In the North, the Divine Power Crossbow is usually directly equipped to the infantry regiment as a long-range support weapon. use.

But Adil modified the divine crossbow in his hand, adding a carriage-like base to it, with four large wheels, each pulled by four horses.

The mobility of the Shenwei Crossbow has been greatly enhanced, and it can barely keep up with the pace of the Western Cavalry.

When fighting the orcs, he can take advantage of the attack range of the divine crossbow to attack the orc army from a distance. If the orcs pursue him, he will lead the cavalry to retreat. If the orcs don't move, they can only stand up to the divine crossbow. consumption.

If the orcs are disorganized and confused during their operations, they will dare to rush in and bite them if the Western Army gets a whiff of it.

Although the orcs and wolf cavalry are good, they have only bullied the kingdom's ordinary cavalry in the past. When the number is small, the Western cavalry is not afraid at all. When the number increases, the Western cavalry can run again. The Western cavalry who no longer have heavy armor are stunned It runs a little faster than the Wolf Cavalry.

Adil has finally figured out how to play the Shenwei Crossbow. Even Richard, the creator, has not yet developed this gameplay.

With this almost rogue style of play, the orcs suffered some hardships at the hands of the Western Cavalry. The orc army, which had been invincible since marching westward from Longxi Pass, was actually pinned down for more than a month around Clays City. Months have not made much progress.

Looking at the futile pursuit of the orc warriors, the Western Cavalry began to skillfully distance themselves. Anyway, the orc infantry could not outrun the four-legged cavalry, and the wandering wolf cavalry were not taken seriously by the Western Cavalry.

Hundreds of wolf riders and more than 10,000 Western Cavalry can devour them in one bite. As long as the orcs make a mistake, these wolf riders who try to entangle the Western Cavalry will be the first to be sacrificed.

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh..."

The orc army paused for a moment, and the infantry had to stop and regroup properly as they continued to pursue, otherwise they would become more and more confused until they completely lost their formation.

But just as they stopped, the giant arrow from the distance shot over again, as if to remind them not to stop.

The orc army was in an extremely embarrassing situation. Although after several rounds, the orc army's losses were just over a hundred, and the casualties were far less than those in the attack on the castle just now, it still caused a big blow to morale.

Including the commander, they would rather fight openly for a while than chase after a horse like they are practicing running.

The defenders on the castle, taking advantage of the orcs' pause in attacking, regained their position. Not only did the team get a rest, but the additional stones and wooden bars that needed to be supplemented were also moved back onto the city wall, and even the oil pans were put on the wall. Get up and burn new boiling oil. If the orcs attack again, they will have to pay the price again.

At this point, the mission of the Western Cavalry to rescue the siege has actually been completed, and all that is left is to take advantage.

Just when Adil and the generals of the Western Army thought that everything was going well, a **** Western Army knight hurried back from a distance.

The Western Army is different from those stinky chess baskets of the Sea Clan. No matter what the situation, the scouts that should be sent out will be sent out intensively. Those with sharp eyes have already recognized that this **** knight is the scout sent out before. .

Normally, the scouts of the Western Border Army are light cavalry with one person and two horses. Under normal circumstances, on this battlefield, even if they encounter wolf cavalry that cannot be beaten, they can run away with oil on their feet. No matter what, they will not do anything wrong. So embarrassed.

"Lord Adil! Centaurs, so many centaurs!"

"Centaur?"

The term centaur is quite unfamiliar to humans. Although they are vaguely aware of the existence of this race, after all, the territories of the two races are not adjacent to each other. There is an orc kingdom in between, so there is basically no chance of contact between the two races.

When he heard the word centaur, Adil didn't even realize what the other person looked like.

But soon, there was no need for Adil to ask any more questions.

The rumble of horse hooves came from a distance. This was obviously not the sound that could be brought about by the movement of orcs and wolf cavalry, but it was very much like the sound of human cavalry.

But around here, apart from the cavalry he led, where are the human cavalry?

Looking at the seriously injured scout in front of me, it was very obvious whether the approaching cavalry was an enemy or a friend...

"锵!"

"Get ready to fight!"
