Heroes of Might and Magic: Knight Chapter 621: Battle formation

The sky is filled with dense haze, the ground is filled with rivers of blood, and bursts of **** smell permeate the air. The carrion birds that have already smelled the smell are swirling over the battlefield. They cannot be driven away no matter how hard they are. Find an opportunity to come down and take a bite.

Everywhere you look is filled with corpses of centaurs. Most of the faces of these warriors running rampant on the northern grasslands have expressions of fear. Most of them were injured from behind. They should have been chopped down from behind after being overtaken. of.

Hutt, who originally wanted to pretend to retreat, was chased by Mrak with the system cavalry, which turned into a real rout. If they had directly confronted them, they would still have the possibility of causing harm to the human cavalry. They were chased all the way without even fighting back. There is no chance.

In the end, even the leader Hutt was almost left behind. After escaping from the battlefield, Hutt counted the number of people. He brought out nearly 30,000 people. In the end, only Wan was with him. The others were either chased to death or were on the battlefield. It got separated and I don't know if I can find it back on my own.

On the other side, Hardman, who was responsible for blocking the Centaur reinforcements, also won the victory. Although he had less than 10,000 horsemen in his hands, only half of Munro's number, he could not withstand the speed of the Red Flame Knights' 1,000. The cavalry was even faster and equipped with heavy cavalry, and all the centaur tactics failed in front of the Red Flame Knights.

They wanted to be consumed, but they couldn't run away. They couldn't even break the armor of these red flame knights in a head-on confrontation. After two rounds of charging, they were defeated.

It's just that the cavalry on Hardmen's side were not as fast as the system cavalry under Mrak. After losing several thousand cavalry, Munro realized something was wrong and escaped from the battlefield with most of his troops intact.

But after this battle, the centaur warriors had to tremble on their legs when they saw these northern cavalry wearing blue and white armor and covered in iron sheets again, and they did not dare to fight easily again.

"Lord Mrak, five Red Flame Knights were killed in this battle, the Northern Goblin Cavalry lost more than 500 people, and more than 3,000 Centaur warriors were killed."

"Yeah, good job."

"It can't be compared with Lord Mrak."

The cavalry led by Mrak suffered almost no casualties. After all, those who rushed in front, whether they were champion knights or unicorn holy beasts, were all earth-level combat power. If they were not under siege, the centaurs would not have the ability to kill them. .

Not to mention that there are two masters of the sky level, Sir M'rak and Taris, leading the army. The strongest among the centaurs is only at the level of the earth level, and will be killed by the two as soon as they show up.

Although the Red Flame Knights and the Northern Goblin Cavalry led by Hardman are also good in combat, they still cannot have the crushing effect on the centaurs like the Champion Knights, especially the Northern Goblin Cavalry, although they are also system heroes. They were trained, but their combat power was still slightly weaker than natural cavalry like centaurs, and they suffered the most losses in the fight. However, even if hundreds of cavalry were killed or injured, this was still a hearty victory.

"Pack up all the corpses and go to Sirgrad to inform Sandro and Aisha that their soldiers are there again."

"No need, I'm already here."

Before Mrak sent someone to notify him, Sandro himself appeared on the battlefield.

All the undead that can be summoned have been summoned in and around Slgrad City. The total number is less than 200,000. Although there are some high-level undead among them, they are still far from Sandro and Aisha. The limits of control.

After arranging the defense of Silgler, Sandru and Aisha began to appear on various battlefields in person, and immediately used spiritualism on the corpses of those who died in battle.

Of course, their presence will not be missing in this large-scale cavalry battle.

As Sandro recited the spell, the already gloomy sky became even darker, and light rain even fell from the sky, which mixed with blood and water on the ground, making the ground muddy and muddy.

The originally dead centaur warriors and northern cavalry slowly stood up from the ground. Their flesh and blood quickly fell off, leaving only frames of white bones. Green light emerged from their two eye sockets, and their souls The fire has been lit, and as long as the flame does not go out, in principle they will not die.

At a glance, there were about seven thousand cavalry turned into bones standing on the entire battlefield.

Of course, these are just Skeleton Cavalry variants of Skeleton Warriors. Death Knights have nothing to do with terror. Only a few corpses who were powerful knights or above were transformed into death knights, and there were only five or six knights in number.

Most of the rest are just quasi-knights and skeleton cavalry. Their combat power may be slightly stronger than that of skeleton warriors, but not by much, and their mobility is much faster than that of ordinary skeleton warriors.

Sandro did not expect that the corpses of centaurs and cavalry all over the ground could be summoned into death knights. If any cavalry could be summoned into a death knight after death, Sandro should not be from Erathia. The legendary necromancer is the father of all heroes in Erathia.

"Tap, step, step..."

Under the command of Sandro, these skeleton cavalry did not take a moment to rest, and immediately left the battlefield with steps that were much neater than before they were alive. The surrounding human soldiers were not surprised by this scene, quietly. Waiting for Sandro to leave with the skeleton cavalry to collect and bury the remaining corpses.

…

"Chief Hu He, don't you always brag that your centaur cavalry is unparalleled in the world? How come you are allowed to interfere with the human landing, but you don't even see the beach and frighten the human cavalry?"

After several rounds of cavalry trials, the humans won one after another, but the orcs were a little bleak. The originally arrogant centaurs were beaten by Mrak's system cavalry and the cavalry from the North, and they were unable to fight back. After a few collisions on the plain, they simply shrank completely and were unwilling to fight the human cavalry anyway.

Centaurs are not stupid. Fighting against human cavalry is basically free. They are here to assist in combat, not to die.

It’s just that the centaur leader Hu He is obviously still a little younger, and his face is not thick enough. Although he made the decision to hide, his face was still a little embarrassed after being ridiculed by the orc general, and it turned red as if he had a fever. got up. It took me a long time to say something back:

"If you orcs feel that the human cavalry can still be dealt with, you can send your wolf cavalry up to try. Anyway, we centaurs are ashamed of themselves and do not want to compete with those human cavalry wearing blue and white armor in the future."

It is of course even more impossible to let the wolf cavalry go. The wolf cavalry is also a type of light cavalry. It has no ability to fight against the Red Flame Knights. Moreover, because of the mount, in terms of impact, they are not as good as being killed. The centaur warriors who cast shadows cannot be defeated by centaurs, and of course they cannot be defeated by letting them go.

"You!"

"What, don't you dare? If you don't dare to send wolf cavalry to fight those human cavalry, don't blame our warriors, they have already tried their best."

Hu He was also holding back a lot of anger during this period. The warriors he brought galloped across the central plains and wiped out countless human cavalry. Only the battle with the Western Cavalry resulted in greater casualties. In the end The winners were all the warriors under their command. As a result, this time facing the cavalry from the North, the Centaurs suffered more casualties than before combined.

But these hateful orcs are still here making sarcastic remarks. If it hadn't been for the prophet's order, he would have led his men to get away from these orcs that disgusted him.

"The combat effectiveness of the human cavalry is indeed unexpected. No one knows how there are so many human earth knights among the northern cavalry who came to the rescue. Their war horses are also unheard of. We cannot blame Leader Hu He. ”

Seeing that there were signs of a quarrel between the two sides, Grotto came out first to smooth things over and stabilized Hu He first.

Immediately arranged:

"Leader Hu He just needs to take his soldiers and the wolf cavalry to cover the flanks of the army. He does not need to take the initiative to attack the human cavalry. He only needs to cooperate with the infantry to prevent the opponent's cavalry from raiding."

Although the centaur cavalry cannot defeat the human cavalry, they still have tens of thousands of mobile forces. There is no problem in working with the wolf cavalry to cover the flanks of the army. After all, if they are entangled by the centaurs, the orc infantry can immediately support them, even if they are Mu The champion knights led by Lark did not dare to surround themselves with tens of thousands of orc infantry.

"Yeah"

Hu He nodded, agreeing with Gro's arrangement, and the other orc generals naturally had no objections.

"The human army has basically completed the landing. All armies should be prepared for the decisive battle, and then check all the camps to make sure there are no mistakes."

"Yes, Lord Great Shaman!"

The orcs also wanted to bypass the city of Slgrad and harass the landing human troops. Unfortunately, the cavalry could not defeat them, and the white dragon support was not available for the time being. The landing human troops were also covered by warships.

The orcs tried many times but failed to effectively interfere with the landing Northland army, so they simply retreated, set up a stronghold, and waited for the Northland army.

…

On the human side, the army has basically completed the landing. More than twenty giants stood around the commander's tent, slightly conspicuous among the hundreds of thousands of troops.

In the big tent in the middle sat more than twenty senior officials of the Northland Army. Except for early veteran generals such as Quill and Kerry, most of the tents were system heroes.

Li Cha sat in the tent and took the upper position. He glanced at the generals standing on both sides and felt deeply that he had so many talents under his command.

In addition to Richard himself, there are six saint-level masters in the big tent, including Gru, Moriel, Natalis, Elena, Sandro, and a special existence, the National Protector Sword Master. , this lineup is a bit more luxurious than when Aragorn overthrew the Orc Empire. Except for Quill and Kerry who are still spinning around on the earth level, the rest are all good players at the sky level, even the elf hero Siel. The salted fish hero also accumulated enough experience in war after war to advance to the sky level.

If he can't defeat the orcs, then there will be no hope for mankind. Richard had such an idea out of nowhere.

"Hey, I'm putting the responsibility on myself again."

"Everyone, the main force of the orcs has been arrayed south of Sirgler. It seems that they are going to fight us decisively."

"Sir Richard, even though the orcs have a large number of troops, we can rely on the city of Sirgrad to confront them. With Jinlongjiang here, we don't have to worry about logistics at all. Let's see if they will take the initiative to attack."

"We can even take a boat to bypass them and go south, and mobilize the main force of the orcs to follow us."

"No, the orcs now occupy the Central Plains. There is sufficient food and grass in the Central Plains. The Rising Sun Cult and the surrendered nobles help them transport supplies and replenish and transport food and grass through the kingdom's straight roads. They also don't have to worry about logistics. The problem is, if the confrontation continues, we will use the supplies from the North to consume the supplies from the Central Plains."

Speaking of which, the Northland is actually not short of food and has abundant supplies. However, the orcs’ supplies were snatched directly by white wolves with bare hands. Using the Northland’s supplies to consume them made Richard himself feel a bit uncomfortable. deficit.

"As for going south directly to support the royal capital, what if the orcs abandon the royal capital and go directly north to attack the north?"

"Will the orcs attack the North directly regardless of the king?"

"Don't take risks as long as there is a chance."

Catherine was just guessing, but as soon as the words came out, Richard had a strong hunch. If his army dared to go down the river to support the royal capital, the army of millions of orcs might really go straight north. It seemed that the North Land There is something particularly attractive to the Rising Sun Cult.

"So, do we still want to take the initiative to fight the orcs?"

"Including Sandru's undead, we have 800,000 troops. The orc army in front of us is roughly 1.2 million. The difference in strength is not big, and we can fight."

When a commander of Catherine's level said that he could fight, he was at least 80% sure.

"Yeah!"

Richard nodded, agreeing with Catherine's opinion. Among the people sitting there, including Richard, the strongest one is definitely not Catherine, but when it comes to the ability to command an army, Catherine is definitely the one who is the most powerful. , As for Richard himself, he can only be regarded as a qualified commander, and he may be several blocks behind Catherine.

Richard nodded, which could be regarded as setting the tone for this military meeting. Then he handed all the command to Catherine very bachelorly. He was ready to act as a super thug, waiting for the old orc to take action when he couldn't help it. Kill the opponent.

"Since the orcs have formed a stronghold to defend, let them defend."

"General Gru, you lead the dragon army to attack from the left wing, and bring all the giants and new types of mines. I want to see if the orc camp can be defended."

"Sir Mrak, you and General Talis continue to lead all the cavalry, contain the opponent's cavalry, and find opportunities to join the battle yourself."

"Sir Sandro, you lead the undead army to attack from the right wing of the orc army. Ms. Aisha will follow the army in the middle and try to use spiritualism to resurrect the dead soldiers on the battlefield and add them to the army in the middle."

"General Moriel, you should continue to lead the dragon, and Ms. Natalies should continue to lead the archangel. Don't let those white dragons interfere with the battle on the ground."

"Yes!"

"Yeah"

Gru and the others habitually answered yes, while Sandro and Moriel nodded, which was considered a response.

In Catherine's arrangement, the troops left by the Chinese army are not strong. They are even weak and there are many heroes who have not been arranged and can be used as a mobile force.

The whole situation was an all-out attack, not taking the orcs seriously at all. Of course, Richard knew that Catherine would not underestimate the enemy. When Catherine gave the order, Richard did not intervene at all.

Catherine relies on well-trained soldiers with high morale in the North. Although their individual combat capabilities are not as good as those of the orcs, the system soldiers filled them can barely make up for this gap. In terms of high-end combat power, humans have an absolute crushing advantage over the orcs, and the orcs need to use a large number of ordinary soldiers to fill this gap.

There are mines loaded with granulated improved gunpowder, and Catherine has no intention of hiding the secret weapon improved by Northland this time. She will use the mines as soon as she comes up, and she will knock the orcs unconscious with a blow to the head.

What's more important is that Catherine herself has never fought such a rich battle. In this battle, basically all the famous human generals gathered under her command. Even her mortal enemy Sandro had to obey the command. Just from the general It looks like a dream lineup.

Catherine's order was executed quickly, and the left wing, under Gru's order, had already begun to move towards the orc camp...
