Law of the Devil Chapter 541: [Although victory is defeated]
Chapter 541 [Although victory is defeated]
Roland Empire is 965 years, August 4th.
This morning, the soldiers waiting above Kaspersky's main siege wall finally saw the long-awaited enemy!
Through the rising sun, a dark trail appeared on the northern horizon.
It started as a black line. With the slow movement, the black line became a black cloud like an ant.
On the walls, the soldiers can hear the movement of the wind, the heavy footsteps that trample the ground, and when the enemy of the group walks, the sound of the arms and helmets makes a jingling sound, and the thick breath ... … The movements of tens of thousands of enemies follow the wind! Looking away from the city wall, the black squattered enemy seemed like a black torrent, running down the flat plains of the north, towards the Kaspersky defense line.
Swords and guns are like forests, and iron armor is like clouds!
Although it is August, the climate in the north is still not warm, especially when tens of thousands of orcs march, and the white gas breathed by tens of thousands of orcs seems to be clearly visible. And then, what shocked the soldiers on the wall was that among the orc's queue, the front row, next to each huge square array, walking in front was a tall monster they had never seen before!
The height of that monster is at least five or six meters from the visual inspection. It is huge and strong, just like a giant bear, and covered with giant iron armor. It looks very rough but full of hard feeling. .
The necks of these beasts also carry thick iron chains, and each beast also has a huge hexagonal hammer hanging around its waist!
As they walk, they form huge bodies, step by step. Trampling on the ground, made a heavy banging sound! And on the chests of these beasts, each beast also held a giant drum, walking, holding up a wooden stick, and struggling hard, forming a strange rhythm!
And the army of tens of thousands of orcs, just follow that beat. Go forward slowly until you reach Kaspersky's defense!
About one kilometer before the trenches under the city walls, the orcs finally stopped.
On the wall, the officer held the telescope purchased from the northwest and looked nervously at the enemies in front.
Sure enough, the news sent by scouts is the same! It's a monster that everyone has never seen before! They are like humans with growing beast heads, but they are bigger and stronger than humans. Tooth decay, blood spouting. Full body fur, but holding a weapon and wearing an armor ...
When the orc army finally stopped, a huge banner was raised from their queue.
From the perspective of human civilization. That banner is really ridiculous. It looks like a huge animal skin, and the surface fur of the animal skin has all fallen off. It is probably drawn with blood in a messy pattern like ghosts and inscriptions that humans cannot understand.
Just after the human officer saw the flag, he was about to make fun of it. It ’s time to relax the tension of the soldiers around you ...
When the flag was raised, tens of thousands of orcs seemed to be receiving some kind of great encouragement. The orcs suddenly raised their weapons and issued a roar of sky!
It is conceivable that it is like tens of thousands of beasts howling at the same time. The movement and sound suddenly changed the face of many human soldiers on the wall.
Many beasts are fierce, the situation changes color!
"Give way to the generals!"
With a majestic shout from behind. A group of people quickly walked up from behind the city wall, and the soldiers on the city wall pushed to the sides.
The generals of the Storm Legion, surrounded by their coach, General Rostock, embarked on the wall.
The supreme commander of the northern line of defense of the empire stands by the wall, holding on to the wall, looking coldly in the distance, and holding a telescope from the northwestern region from his side. Watched for a while.
"Not much." General Rostock coldly.
"Yes. My lord, it seems to be no more than 20,000 by visual inspection." A division chief immediately answered.
"Huh. They are not 'people', I think it should be '20, 000 '! Hahaha!" A mighty general laughed out loud, his voice spread far away, with a great deal of Self-confidence eased a lot of soldiers with fear.
"Luo Yantal, don't underestimate the enemy." Rostock glanced at the subordinate who laughed loudly and scolded ... The general looked about thirty years old, with a majestic appearance, a square face, sharp edges, and big eyes, The beard on his face was not shaved, and there was still a faint stubble, and his appearance was similar to that of General Rostock.
"Yes ... Father." The general named Luo Yantal immediately whispered. He glanced a few distances away, and looked a little eagerly in his eyes.
"Call me Lord." Rostock's face was solemn: "Remember your identity! General Rodenthal!"
The surrounding generals looked at the father and son. There was no socket. Everyone knew the harshness and impartiality of the old general.
Rostock is standing above the city wall, he squints and looks into the distance.
At this time, the tens of thousands of orcs' troops have been dispersed. They left a square array in the front row, and quickly opened, forming a wall of people.
And then, the orc army began to work quickly. They carried a large amount of wood from the rear and began to set up camps in the distance ...
"This is just a vanguard. They seem to be camping here." Rostock sneered.
"The news came from General Andre's airship, and they saw no reinforcements near their rear! Obviously, this was their vanguard." A general said, "Well, it seems these monsters will also fight. "
"Smarter than Warcraft." Rostock snorted, and he looked away.
In less than a quarter of an hour, the orcs have built a rough wooden wall. The orcs are strong and strong, and they are very good laborers. The sound of ping pong and ping pong in the back is endless. Shipped up.
"Father ... Master!" Luo Yantal immediately cried out: "Master! This is their vanguard. It is to camp and strike the front. I see, while we are now, we will send someone out to charge For a while, the spirit of killing them! If you are lucky, maybe you can eat these people in one bite! "
"They have 20,000." Another ministry general also said, "But it seems that half of them are working as engineers, and, in front of us, they are so swaying and camping, so we don't pay attention to us. Here! "
"It's not easy to eat." Rostock made the decision: "Since we have strong walls and fortifications. We don't need to waste the lives and blood of soldiers and fight them in the field."
His words immediately made his son Luo Yantal look disappointed.
But the veteran general turned sharply: "But watching them camp, we do nothing, it is too weak, it will hurt our morale! I need someone to take someone out and fight them, Do n’t need too much, see the long array that they are in the forefront? That is the battle queue they use to defend our attack. Send a cavalry battalion. Go and teach them. ”
"Sir, send me!" At the same time, four or five generals pleaded loudly.
Rostock turned his eyes around these people's faces, especially his son, Luo Yantal, excited and looking forward.
"Ca n’t delay, do n’t fight greedy. I do n’t want to eat 20,000 people in one bite. Just give them a bit of a look, and more importantly, what I need is to test their field combat effectiveness! Look at them How strong is it ... I need a smart person, not a person who doesn't know where to go when the mind is hot. "
The look of the old general deliberately leaked his son. Speak slowly.
Luo Yantal is anxious, he strove forward two steps: "Let's go! My lord, I will not be impulsive!"
"Miro!" The old general reported a name, and an officer about forty years old came up from behind: "Master!"
"You go, take a cavalry battalion, three thousand cavalry is enough. Remember, I just want to try the fighting power of these enemies! Of course, if you can expand the battle results. You are welcome. But be careful!"
The officer named Mi Luo was so excited that he turned away immediately after saluting, and Luo Yantal, who was on the sidelines, sighed helplessly and looked at his father in a grievance.
"Look carefully, boy, your temperament is too fierce, and 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 will not use your brain!"
With the order. The three main gates on the back of Kaspersky's former main match opened at the same time. A cavalry battalion of a storm corps drove out of the three gates.
Among the many trenches, there is still a passage left. The three thousand-man teams were quickly assembled under the city.
The cavalry of the Storm Legion raised their sharp spears. With a shout, the three thousand cavalry broke out a voice: "Fight for Roland!"
Ten thousands of defenders above the city wall also responded to the cry, in the midst of a boiling, horseshoe trampled!
The iron rider of the empire's most elite storm legion quickly ran up, like a torrent, fiercely rushing towards the long array of orcs that was listed at the front!
The horseshoe trampled the ground and the dust was flying, and the heavy iron armor of the cavalry made a crisp collision sound.
Dust, thousands of steps, hundreds of steps ... The cavalry lowered their bodies against the horse's back, their spears pointed horizontally forward, like a sharp forest!
"Kill !!"
Thousands of voices shouted together!
The square array placed in front of the orcs quickly gathered, and those orc soldiers quickly took off the huge iron shield that had been behind them! Each iron shield has a height of nearly two meters!
Thousands of iron shields were inserted fiercely on the ground. The orcs' huge strength was enough to let these iron shields penetrate the hard frozen ground!
Then the orc soldiers crowded behind, struggling to resist the shield! A long row of iron shields shines a cold metal luster under the sun, like an iron wall!
Boom! !!
The torrent of cavalry finally hit the iron wall fiercely!
The cavalry of the Empire is at the forefront, and after hitting the iron wall fiercely, it suddenly burst into flames of blood! The frontline cavalry tried to break through the iron wall of the opponent with the help of horsepower, but less than half of the cavalry successfully broke in!
The orcs are strong. Although they are infantry, the average height of each orc is more than two meters, and those who are stronger, even standing there, are almost as flat as the cavalry on the horse! Coupled with their mighty beast-like power, despite the galloping horse, the first wave of the cavalry of the empire attacked with the strength of the war horse. Hitting that iron wall, I immediately lost more than 100 people!
After some shield walls were breached, the cavalry of the Empire just broke in, but found a helpless situation ... these enemies are too tall!
If the human cavalry is dealing with human infantry, as long as it breaks through the frontal fortification of the opponent, the cavalry's charge, even by collision and trample, can cause great damage to the enemy. But these enemies. They are not lower than horses on the ground, even higher on the ground!
A few cavalry who broke through the shield wall just broke through a gap. After rushing in, they waited for the orc's relentless blade!
The first wave of charge. The front cavalry suddenly turned over!
However, as the empire's most elite Northern Battle Corps, the cavalry of the Storm Corps does not lack courage and loyalty! In spite of the screams, the cavalry in the back was still fearless. With the courage to swear, he rushed forward!
Soon, the original shield wall was broken everywhere, and the central and cavalry grounds pushed the iron wall out of a huge gap! The cavalry in the back rushed in quickly, and the spears in the cavalry's hands were fiercely assassinating a huge monster around them, but their body was huge, but they also benefited from sitting on the assassination ground cavalry because they almost Need to observe. Although the opponent's huge body has powerful power, it seems relatively bulky!
Finally, despite their strength, the orcs used their infantry against human cavalry, and their defenses began to fall apart.
It's just that the speed of the cavalry's charge has been completely reduced. The human cavalry who broke the enemy's shield wall seems to be caught in a swamp! People are crowding around, people are crowding. Horsepower can't work at all!
The charge of the cavalry. It became a strangling battle!
The fighting power of the orcs far exceeds the imagination of human soldiers! Often they struggle with the spears they pierce. Stuck in the orc's body, but could not immediately make the other party lose its combat power!
More orcs show the power of human helplessness! Even some orc warriors counted spears and several spears in their bodies, but they were able to growl and cut off the spearmen, and then swooped directly with their huge bodies to throw the cavalry off the horse!
"Draw swords! Draw swords! Kill them !!!"
Leader general Miro has been blood-stained all over the body, and the blood on the armor can no longer tell whether he is his own or his opponent!
He soon noticed that this situation was entangled. The cavalry's spear could not be used at all, and he had grabbed his cross sword. As a general of the intermediate knight, the spirit of fighting has erupted above the sword!
He strove with a sword to split the head of an orc in front of him in half and shouted.
The cavalry also gave up the spear in their hands and grabbed the cross-cutting sword to fight against each other's orcs! Screaming everywhere, blood everywhere! !!
Human cavalry is in a hard battle! Because the orc's armor is very hard and thick! Because they have inherently excellent physiques, iron armors weighing tens of kilograms or even hundreds of kilograms are worn on the body, but they will not reduce their combat power at all!
Compared to humans, the orc's armor is very thick, but it is very thick! !!
Many Roland soldiers find that they managed to cut down the opponent, but they could not break through the other's hard armor. However, with such a stunned effort, the opponent has already cut off the head of the human soldier!
Humans, however, cannot wear that level of thick armor. These cavalry are not really heavy cavalry. Their armor is only about 20 kilograms, but it has been thickened and thickened in some vital parts ...
But these orcs have tremendous power, and they can even cut the armor of human soldiers in one shot!
Some orc weapons are sledgehammers. One shot, even if the armor on your chest is thickened. But it can also deeply sink your chest directly!
More and more cavalry are being beaten off the horse.
In the distance, General Rostock above the city wall is gloomy! Behind him, Luo Yantal was also confident with a look of shock just now!
The cavalry is charging front infantry! !!
This is the frontal charge of the cavalry against the infantry! !! !! And the forces on both sides are almost equal! !!
Using most of the past human warfare cases, in the case of almost equal forces, as long as the cavalry rushes to the infantry queue, it is a massacre!
But these orc monsters. However, they used their super strength to defend their qualities, and used the flesh and blood to block the frontal charge of the three thousand cavalry! !!
Humans reluctantly rushed through the opponent ’s array with the help of horsepower, but they could n’t penetrate! Actually strangled! !!
Finally, in the battle of the human cavalry, the orcs began to slowly retreat, and the cavalry rushed forward. More and more cavalry rushed in through the gap, just like waves, slamming the opponent's array fiercely.
From the wall, the orc array began to be squeezed thicker and more scattered. Then keep moving back.
But every time the cavalry advances, it pays a great deal of blood!
Finally, after the leader, Miro, slashed the last orc in front of him, there were no living enemies around him.
And the orc warrior. On a large scale retreat, they ran back. Miro was about to scream and kill, but looked around, and suddenly his eyes were dark!
There are few soldiers around him who can stand well!
Most of the soldiers who rushed into the Roland Empire Land of the Orc Array were shot down.
Although these orcs have stepped back, they are not in chaos, and Miro has many colors on his body. His warhorse had also been killed long ago, and his long sword was transformed after a few collisions with the hammer of an orc warrior.
The orc soldiers stepped back, and behind the erected wooden wall, a team of orc soldiers lined up.
Looking around, I am afraid that only half of the 3000 cavalry is left. Miro gritted his teeth fiercely: "Retreat!"
This is the first time in 10,000 years that a large-scale field battle has been confronted by the human army and the orc army.
Three thousand human cavalry against 4,000 orc infantry, the losses on both sides are almost equal ... but humans are more deadly and injured!
Under Rostock's order. Another cavalry battalion opened a fort. However, the cavalry did not go up to kill, but in response to Miro's army withdrew.
The orcs are far behind the wooden wall just finished. Watching coldly these human army movements.
I know that these orcs eat human flesh. So Rostock ordered that the bodies of every soldier left on the battlefield should be taken back as much as possible.
Three thousand cavalry lined up, facing the orcs in the distance, the others nervously carried the body. The orcs did not come forward, but General Rostock, standing on the wall, looked dignified!
"Strong enemy."
Luo Yantal suddenly said such a sentence.
"It is indeed a strong enemy." The old general sighed and looked at the different generals behind him: "They used no more than 4,000 infantry to resist the frontal charge of our 3,000 cavalry and insisted More than two quarters! I don't think it would be possible for a human infantry army. "
After a pause, the old general murmured suddenly: "This is the first battle ... Although it is a victory and defeat."
