Chapter 579 Chapter five hundred and fortieth one wins but loses

In the nine hundred and sixty-fifth year of the Roland Empire, August 4th. This morning, the soldiers waiting on the wall of Kaspersky's main fortress finally saw the enemy who had been waiting for a long time! With the help of the rising sun, a dark trail appeared on the northern horizon. It started as a black line, and as it moved slowly, the black line turned into a black cloud like ants. On the city wall, the soldiers could hear the movement in the wind, the heavy footsteps trampling on the ground, the clinking of weapons and armor as the large group of enemies walked, and the heavy breathing... Tens of thousands The movement of the enemy comes with the wind!Looking from a distance from the city wall, the black mass of enemies, like a black torrent, was pressing down on the Kaspersky line of defense along the flat plains in the north.

Swords and guns are like forests, and iron armor is like clouds! Although it was August, the climate in the north was still not warm, especially because when tens of thousands of orcs marched, the white air breathed out by tens of thousands of orcs seemed to be clearly visible.And then, what shocked the soldiers on the city wall was that among the orc queues, in the front row, next to each huge phalanx, the one walking in front was a tall monster that they had never seen before! The height of that monster is more than five or six meters by visual inspection. It is huge and strong, like a giant bear, and covered with a giant-like iron armor. It looks very rough, but it is full of hard feeling.

And there are thick iron chains around the necks of these giant beasts, and a huge hexagonal hammer hangs around the waist of each giant beast! While walking, their huge bodies trampled on the ground step by step, making a heavy bang bang bang bang!And on the chests of these giant beasts, each giant beast is holding a giant drum, walking while holding up the wooden stick, beating vigorously, forming a strange rhythm! And the army of tens of thousands of orcs, according to the rhythm of the drums, slowly advanced, until it reached the Kaspersky line of defense! There was still about a kilometer away from the trench terrain under the city wall, and the orcs finally stopped.

On the city wall, the officer held a binoculars purchased from the northwest and looked nervously at the enemies in front of him. Sure enough, the news sent back by the scouts was the same!That is a monster that no one has ever seen before!They are like human beings with animal heads, but they are stronger and burly than human beings.Fangs, spurting blood, fur all over, but holding weapons and wearing armor... When the orc army finally stopped, a huge banner was raised from their ranks. From the perspective of human civilization, the flag is so simple that it is almost ridiculous.It seems to be a huge animal skin, and the surface hair of the animal skin has all fallen off, and blood is probably used to draw various messy patterns like ghost symbols that humans cannot understand.

Just when the human officer saw the flag, he was about to make fun of it casually to ease the tension of the soldiers around him... When the flag was raised, tens of thousands of orcs seemed to have received some kind of great encouragement. All of them raised their weapons high and let out a roar that soared to the sky! It was conceivable that tens of thousands of beasts were howling at the same time. The movement and sound made the faces of many human soldiers on the city wall change immediately. Thousands of beasts howled fiercely, and the situation changed color! "Make way for the general!"

Following 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 aside one after another. Many generals of the Storm Legion surrounded their coach, General Rostock, and walked up the city wall. The supreme commander of the empire's northern defense line stood by the city wall, stomping on the wall with his hands, staring coldly into the distance, and took a telescope produced in the northwest from the hand of his entourage, and looked at it for a while. "Not many." General Rostock said coldly. "Yes, my lord, visually it seems that there should be no more than 20,000 people." A division head replied immediately.

"Hmph, they are not 'people', I think they should be '20,000'! Hahahaha!" A mighty general deliberately laughed loudly, his voice spread far away, with incomparable confidence, let Many soldiers with fearful faces suddenly relaxed. "Roenthal, don't underestimate the enemy." Rostock glanced at the subordinate who was laughing and scolding loudly... This general looks about thirty years old, with a majestic figure, a square face with sharp edges and corners, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a stern face. His beard was not cleanly shaved, and there was still a faint green stubble. Moreover, his appearance was six to seven points similar to that of General Rostock.

"Yes... Father." The general named Luo Yantar immediately responded in a low voice. He glanced a few times in the distance, and there was a bit of eagerness in his eyes. "Call me my lord." Rostock said with a serious face, "Remember your identity! General Roenthal!" The generals around looked at the father and son, and no one interrupted. Everyone knew the old general's sternness and impartiality. Rostock stood on the city wall, squinting his eyes and looking into the distance. At this time, the tens of thousands of orc troops had already dispersed. They left a phalanx in the front row, and they quickly pulled apart to form a human wall.

Behind them, the orc army started to work quickly. They brought a large amount of wood from the rear and began to set up camp in the distance... "This is just a vanguard. They seem to be camping here." Rostock sneered. "General Andre's airship sent a message. Visually, there are no reinforcements near their rear! Obviously, this is their vanguard." A general said: "Hmph, it seems that these monsters can also fight." "Smarter than Warcraft." Rostock snorted, and he looked into the distance. In less than a quarter of an hour, those orcs had already built a crude wooden wall. Those orcs were strong and they were excellent laborers. There was a constant sound of ping-pong-pong from behind, and a large amount of wood was brought up. .

"Father... my lord!" Luo Yantar immediately shouted: "My lord! This is their vanguard, and they are here to set up camp and fight in the front line. I think we should send people out to charge for a while now, Kill their vigor! If you are lucky, you might be able to eat this group of people in one bite!" "There are 20,000 of them." Another general also said: "But it seems that half of them are working as engineers, and they are so ostentatiously camping in front of us, they don't take us seriously! " "It's not easy to eat." Rostock made a decision: "Since we have solid walls and fortifications, we don't need to waste the lives and blood of our soldiers fighting with them."

His words immediately made his son Roenthal look disappointed. But the old general changed the subject: "However, we are too weak to do nothing while watching them set up camp. It will hurt our morale! I need someone to take someone out to fight them. It doesn't take too much , see the long formation they put in the front line? That is the battle formation they used to defend against our attack. Send a cavalry battalion out and teach them a lesson." "My lord, send me!" At the same time, four or five generals called out to fight. Rostock turned his eyes around the faces of this group of people, especially his son, Reoenthal, who looked excited and expectant. "Don't procrastinate, don't be greedy for war. I don't want to eat 20,000 people in one bite, just show them a little bit of strength, and more importantly, what I need is to test their combat effectiveness in field battles! See how powerful they are! Strong... I need a smart person, not someone who doesn't know how to advance or retreat when his brain is hot." The old general's eyes deliberately missed his son, and he said these words slowly. Luo Yantar was in a hurry, and he squeezed two steps forward: "I'll go! My lord, I will definitely not be impulsive!" "Miro!" The old general announced his name, and an officer about forty years old came up from behind: "My lord!" "You go, take a cavalry battalion, three thousand cavalry is enough. Remember, I just want to test the fighting power of these enemies! Of course, if you can expand the results of the battle, you are welcome. But be cautious!" The officer named Miro looked excited, immediately saluted and then turned to leave. Luo Yantar, who was standing next to him, sighed helplessly and looked at his father aggrieved. "Look carefully, kid, you are too hot-tempered and too impulsive. What I want now is to get the accuracy of the enemy's combat power. You are a brave general, but you don't know how to use your brain!" Following the order, the three city gates on the back side of Kaspersky's main game were opened at the same time, and a cavalry battalion of the Storm Legion opened out of the three city gates. Among the many trenches, a passage was left, and the three thousand-man teams quickly assembled under the city. The cavalry of the Storm Legion raised their sharp spears, and with a cry, the three thousand cavalry burst into a voice: "Fight for Roland!!" The tens of thousands of defenders on the city wall also responded to the shouts, and in the midst of boiling, horseshoes trampled on them! The iron cavalry of the most elite Stormtroopers in the empire quickly galloped up, like a torrent, rushing fiercely towards the long formation of the orcs at the front! The horseshoes trampled the earth and the dust flew up, and the heavy armor on the cavalry made a crisp sound of collision. The dust is flying, thousands of steps, a hundred steps... The cavalry lowered their bodies and clung to their horses, their spears pointed forward horizontally, like a forest of sharp edges! "kill!!" Thousands of voices shout together! The phalanx at the front of the orcs gathered quickly, and those orc soldiers quickly took off the huge iron shield that had been carried behind their backs!Each iron shield is nearly two meters high! Thousands of iron shields were firmly inserted into the ground. The huge strength of the orcs was enough to push these iron shields into the hard frozen soil! Then, the orc soldiers in the back huddled together and struggled against the shield!A long row of iron shields glowed with a cold metal luster under the sun, like an iron wall! boom! ! The torrent of cavalry finally slammed into that iron wall head-on! After the front end of the imperial cavalry slammed fiercely on the iron wall, there was a burst of blood and flames!The cavalry at the forefront tried to break through the opponent's iron wall with the help of horsepower, but less than half of the cavalry managed to break in! Those orcs were strong and strong. Although they were infantry, the average height of each orc was more than two meters, and those who were stronger, even standing there, were almost as tall as a cavalry sitting on a horse!Coupled with their mighty beast-like power, even though they were galloping horses, with the help of the horses' charging power, the first wave of imperial cavalry's attack smashed through the iron wall, but immediately paid the loss of more than a hundred people! After some shield walls were knocked open, the cavalry of the empire just rushed in, but found a helpless situation... These enemies are really too tall! If human cavalry were to deal with human infantry, as long as they broke through the opponent's frontal fortifications, the charge of the cavalry, even by ramming and trampling, could cause great damage to the enemy.But the height of these enemies standing on the ground is no lower than that of a horse, and some are even higher! A few cavalry who broke through the shield wall had just broken through a gap. After rushing in, what awaited them was the ruthless blade of the orc! In the first wave of charge, the cavalry at the forefront suddenly turned on their backs! However, as the most elite northern main battle legion in the empire, the cavalry of the Storm Legion do not lack courage and loyalty!Despite the screams, the cavalry behind still showed no fear on their faces, and rushed up one after another with the courage to swear to the death! Soon, the originally connected shield wall was broken everywhere, and in the center, the mainstream of the cavalry broke a huge gap in the iron wall!The cavalry behind rushed in quickly, and the spears in the hands of the cavalry stabbed fiercely at the huge monsters around them-the opponent's body was huge, but it also benefited the cavalry who sat on the horse to assassinate, because they There is almost no need to observe. Although the opponent's huge body has powerful strength, it looks relatively bulky! Finally, although the orcs were strong, their defenses began to crumble when they used infantry against human cavalry. It's just that the charging speed of the cavalry has been completely reduced, and the human cavalry who broke through the enemy's shield wall seem to have fallen into a quagmire!There are crowds of people all around, and people are pressing people, and the horsepower can't be used at all! The charge of the cavalry turned into a battle of strangulation! The fighting power of the orcs far exceeds the imagination of human soldiers!Often, the spears they stabbed with all their strength pierced the orcs' bodies, but they couldn't immediately make the opponent lose their fighting power! More orcs showed a strength that made human beings helpless!There are even some orc warriors who have several spears stuck in their bodies, but they can cut down the spearmen with a roar, and then use their huge bodies to pounce directly, throwing the cavalry off the horse! "Draw the sword!! Draw the sword!! Kill them!!!" The general leading the army, Mi Luo, was already covered in blood, and it was hard to tell whether the blood on the armor was his own or the opponent's! He quickly realized this twisted situation, the spear in the cavalry's hand could not be used at all, and he had already grabbed his own cross sword.As a middle-level knight, this general has already burst out with fighting spirit on his long sword! He slashed the head of an orc in front of him with all his might, shouting loudly. The cavalry also gave up the spears in their hands, grabbed the crossed swords and started a hand-to-hand fight with the opposing orcs!There are screams everywhere, blood everywhere! ! The human cavalry is in a bitter fight!Because the orc armor is very hard and thick!Because they have naturally excellent physiques, the kind of iron armor weighing tens of kilograms or even hundreds of kilograms on their bodies will not reduce their combat effectiveness in the slightest! Compared with human beings, although the armor of orcs is crude, it is very thick! ! Many Roland soldiers found that they had worked so hard to cut down the opponent, but could not break through the opponent's hard armor, but in such a dazed effort, the opponent had already cut off the human soldier's head with his backhand! Humans, on the other hand, cannot wear that kind of thick armor, and these cavalry are not heavy cavalry in the true sense. Their armor only weighs about 20 kilograms, and it is only thickened in some vital parts... But these orcs possess enormous power, and with one strike, they can even dent the armor of human soldiers! There are also some orcs who use a sledgehammer as a weapon. With one hammer, even if the armor on your chest is thicker, it can directly dent your chest deeply! More and more cavalrymen were knocked off their horses. In the distance, General Rostock on the city wall has a gloomy face!And behind him, Luo Yantar, who was still confident just now, also showed a shocked expression! A frontal charge of cavalry against infantry! ! This is a frontal charge of cavalry against infantry! ! !And the strength of the two sides is almost equal! ! Based on most of the previous battles of human beings, in the case of almost equal forces, once the cavalry rushed to the front of the infantry line, it would be a massacre! But these orc monsters, using their super sturdy qualities and their flesh and blood, blocked the frontal charge of three thousand cavalry! ! With the help of horsepower, human beings barely broke through the opponent's array, but they couldn't penetrate it!Actually fell into strangulation! ! Finally, in the desperate battle of the human cavalry, the orcs began to retreat slowly, and the cavalry behind kept rushing forward, and more and more cavalry rushed in through the gap, like a wave A wave of waves slapped the opponent's array fiercely. Looking from the city wall, the array of orcs began to be pressed thicker and thicker, more and more scattered, and then kept moving backwards. But every time the cavalry advanced, they paid a huge price in blood! Finally, after Milo, the leader of the army, knocked down the last orc in front of him with a single sword, there were no living enemies around him. And the orc warriors retreated on a large scale, and they ran back one after another.And Milo was about to yell to chase after him, but he glanced around, his eyes suddenly went dark! Around him, there are almost no soldiers who can stand properly! Most of the soldiers of the Roland Empire who rushed into the array of orcs were beaten off their horses. And although these orcs retreated, they did not cause any chaos. Milo had many wounds on his body, his horse had been killed long ago, and his long sword collided with the hammer of an orc warrior just now. It deformed after a few strokes. The orc soldiers retreated, and behind the erected wooden wall, groups of orc soldiers came out in line. Looking around, there are probably only half of the 3,000 cavalry left. Milo gritted his teeth fiercely: "Back!" This is the first time in 10,000 years that the human army has faced the orc army in a large-scale field battle. Three thousand human cavalry fought against four thousand orc infantry, and the losses of both sides were almost equal... but the human casualties were more serious! Under Rostock's order, another cavalry battalion left the fortress, but this cavalry did not go up to fight, but retreated back to support Milo's army. The orcs stood far behind the wooden wall that had just been built, watching the movements of these human troops coldly. Because I know that these orcs are cannibals.So Rostock ordered that every soldier's body left on the battlefield be brought back as much as possible. Three thousand supporting cavalry lined up, confronting the orcs in the distance, while others nervously carried the corpses.The orcs didn't come forward, but General Rostock, who was standing on the city wall, had a dignified expression on his face! "Strong enemy." Luo Yantar suddenly said such a sentence. "It is indeed a strong enemy." The old general sighed, looking at the generals with different faces behind him: "They used no more than 4,000 infantry to resist the frontal charge of our 3,000 cavalry, and persisted for more than two minutes. Bell! I don't think a human infantry army can do that." After pausing for a while, the old general suddenly muttered in a low voice: "This is the first battle...even though we won, we lost."
