Heroes of Might and Magic: Knight Chapter 97: Confrontation

"Archer!"

"Let it go!"

With a hail of arrows, hundreds more kobolds were nailed to the ground.

After a low whimpering sound, the kobolds who had just bravely attacked the coalition lines retreated like a tide.

"Still the same old thing, let the cavalry give chase appropriately."

"Yes, sir."

As the flags waved, thousands of cavalry rushed out of the coalition camp and chased the retreating kobolds. After a while of slashing, they returned to the coalition camp with almost no damage, leaving only the bodies of the kobolds on the ground.

The two sides met on this plain early the next morning. The ogre still used the same old method. He used the kobold to test it first. Richard unceremoniously harvested a circle of dog lives as a warm-up exercise for the cavalry. .

Richard has already investigated the quality of this ogre army quite clearly,

The total number is about three thousand, including one thousand armored elites, one thousand tribesmen young and strong, and there are still some old and weak who are not weaker than the ordinary elites of the coalition.

Except for the thousand old and weak men who were not much of a threat, the remaining young and strong ogres were basically quasi-knights. Especially those thousand ogre elites wearing heavy armor, who defeated ten ogres on the plain. Multiple human armies are normal.

Compared with the basic army, the coalition side definitely has no chance of winning, but the coalition side still has a huge advantage in mid-to-high-end military force,

Among the three thousand ogres, under normal circumstances, the number of ogre warriors will not exceed two hands, but the number of knight-level warriors on the coalition side is close to forty,

Without the advantage of mid-to-high-end force, Richard would not be thinking about how to win the battle, but how to escape.

"Bang, bang, bang..."

A drum beat sounded in the ogre camp.

"Get ready!"

"Ha!"

As the drums in the ogre array started to sound, Richard, who was an old rival with the ogre, naturally understood that this was a signal that the ogre was about to move out.

The pikemen in the front row squatted down with their spears raised, pointing the spearhead at the ogre who was about to move out.

"Let the warriors of our formation go in front, and let the warriors of the tribe see how we fight."

Haha wore a heavy armor that was much more refined than ordinary ogres and walked at the front of the attacking team, followed by a thousand ogre warriors wearing heavy armor.

After that are the recruited tribal warriors. With such an arrangement, although it is easier to lose the strength of one's direct lineage, the improvement in morale is visible to the naked eye.

If Hachi arranges these recruited tribal warriors to be used as cannon fodder in the front, even with the bravery of the ogres, morale will probably be low.

If divided according to Richard's standards, it is estimated that except for Grugesh, all the ogres are brave warriors.

After meeting and testing for a while, the general and his men rushed up directly. Those who can form a formation and then charge are already considered to be particular.

Just bully the poor quality of individual human soldiers, otherwise I will split them up and intersperse them, I...

Anyway, the ogre's fighting style now seems to be the same as beating the old master to death with random punches. Even if it is upright, Richard can only use his own trump card as soon as he comes up.

In order to stabilize the front, system soldiers such as Crusaders and Lancers were evenly distributed among the ordinary soldiers.

The lords of each family also held the battle in their own teams, whoever ran away and killed the other.

This time, Richard did not dare to engage in any intensive use of elites or a breakthrough operation.

With such a disparity in the quality of individual soldiers, it is very likely that the system's army has concentrated on breaking through, but the ogre brigade has already overwhelmed its own formation.

"Bear Hunting Crossbow!"

"Eight hundred steps ready!"

"Seven hundred steps!"

"Six hundred steps!"

"Let it go!"

In this plains battle, the Hunter family’s unique bear-hunting crossbow finally caught up with the battle.

The ten bear-hunting crossbows brought by the Flying Bear Army are lighter than the traditional bed crossbows, and have wooden wheels installed on the base. They can barely follow the army in the wild battlefield.

"Boom..."

After a dull low sound from the machine, ten two-meter-long giant arrows galloped towards the ogre.

"Poof!..."

A giant arrow penetrated the heavy armor of the ogre and knocked him to the ground.

With its strong vitality, the ogre nailed to the ground did not lose the ability to move. He struggled to get up, but was soon trampled to the ground by his companions behind him and completely lost his life.

This round of bear hunting crossbow attacks took away the lives of at least four or five ogres. Although these ogres were thick-skinned and some were wearing heavy armor, they were basically immune to ordinary arrow attacks.

But in the face of this basically unreasonable heavy crossbow shooting, it is still easy to fall. Only the ogre warrior level masters can escape from the giant crossbow with their lives.

"Boom!"

After a deep sound, ten more giant crossbows shot out.

In the blink of an eye, several more ogres were nailed to the ground,

Several lords who were holding the battle looked back in surprise,

The firing frequency of this bed crossbow is a bit high. It is true that various lords have never seen bed crossbows, but if there are not enough of them, the deterrent effect is greater than the actual significance.

The reloading speed is too slow. It can only be fired once in a battle. It is also quite bulky. Most of them can only be placed on the top of the city as a defensive weapon.

Because of the use of pulleys, the Bear Hunting Crossbow basically solves the problem of loading speed and also solves the problem of power after being lightweight. It can be regarded as a unique weapon in the hands of the Hunter family.

"Boom!"

When the ogre advanced nearly a hundred steps, the bear hunting crossbow made another low sound.

The lords who were somewhat used to it actually found the low-pitched sound of the machine to be unexpectedly pleasant. It was a sharp arrow shot at the enemy anyway, even if the sound it made was the scream of a slaughtered pig.

On the ogre side, Hachi was not in a good mood. Three rounds of bear hunting crossbow fire caused more than a dozen ogre warrior casualties.

And because Hachi placed his direct lineage at the front, these fallen ogres were basically elites wearing heavy armor. Even though these casualties would not affect the battle situation, it still made Hachi feel a little distressed.

This is different from the human armies he encountered in previous battles. If every human army had such a weapon, it would not be enough to kill the ogres based on their population.

But now is not the time to think about this. The distance between the two sides is getting closer and closer, and Hachi can already see the sharp gun heads of the human soldiers in front reflecting the cold light in the light.

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh..."

After the ogre came within a hundred steps, the coalition's archers also started shooting. However, compared to the bear hunting crossbow just now, this shower of arrows seemed a bit weak. In addition to causing some casualties to the kobolds, it also caused some damage to the ogres. For human demons, it’s almost like tickling.

Only the sharpshooters caused some damage to the ogres with the bonus of Richard's offensive skills.

"Fifty steps, fifty steps!"

"Let it go!"

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh..."

Because the distance was close enough, this round of arrow rain caused the greatest damage to the ogres. At least ten ogres fell down after being hit by arrows.

The bear hunting crossbow also completed a synchronization with the archer, firing ten giant arrows at the final distance.

"Retreat!"

The archers retreated into the formation along the gap, and the bear-hunting crossbows in front of the formation were dragged back quickly by the auxiliary soldiers who had been waiting on both sides.

"Lance!"

"Kill!"

The ogres were getting closer and closer, and the soldiers in the front row began to shout loudly to dispel the fear in their hearts.
