Chapter 2244 Difficult offensive and defensive battle 4
() The more the enemy advances, the smaller the combat area. Even if they have hundreds of thousands of troops, only 20,000 people can really fight. The half-beast soldiers have super physical fitness, and there is no problem with one to fight five. Therefore, in such a small space, with a few thousand against 20,000, the advantage of the Holy Sect army is not obvious.
When Liang Yong contributed his vitality to greatly enhance the physical strength of the Orc warriors, the battlefield situation changed greatly. The orc warriors' super physical strength was enough for them to support the whole day of battle. For every loss of a warrior, the enemy would inevitably leave four or five or even more corpses.
Day 7, Day 8, Day 9…
The battle situation is in a stalemate, and the soldiers are exhausted every day, and fewer and fewer people come back. When they return to the city on the ninth day, there are less than 3,000 people, and the other squad of soldiers are only less than 4,000. With the three thousand reserve teams, the Orc Legion has reduced its personnel by half in just nine days. This is not considered injured, and reducing personnel means death.
More people died outside the city, and almost 100,000 people have been killed in battle until now, but this is nothing to them. There is still a large army of 450,000, and the main force has basically no losses. It is possible to flatten here at any time.
The soldiers were complaining that Hongdu's generals also showed dissatisfaction, complaining that Liang Yong had been keeping the reserve team and was fighting for 5 consecutive days. The people who were not dead were also injured. However, the reserve team had eaten and drank well all day long and practiced some strange tactics leisurely. Not only did they lose any losses, the soldiers who recovered from their injuries were also incorporated into the reserve team.
At this time, the number of reserve teams had reached 4,000, which was more than the soldiers they fought in each squad. At this time, sending reserve teams to fight would definitely be more effective than their remaining soldiers. But Liang Yong always only encouraged everyone and asked everyone to persist for a few days. It was clear that reinforcements would come after 12 days, and they would just persist for another three days, and they would definitely not send reserve teams to the field.
At dawn on the tenth day, before the enemy's war drum was ringing, everyone felt the atmosphere on the battlefield differently. The heavy feeling of depression made people breathless. Suddenly someone shouted: "Look, what is that."
"Ah, catapults, siege aircraft, cavalry formation..."
In the early morning mist, the enemy was coming up in a dark way. The front row was filled with huge siege machinery that was as high as ten meters or dozens of meters. There was no sound of war drums or the charge and shouts of soldiers. However, the calm advance made people even more depressing, as if countless mountains were pressing over.
The orcs are born warriors. They are not only cold-blooded and cruel to their enemies, but also crazy and ruthless to themselves. Although the ten-day battle was reduced by more than half, the fighting spirit of the people was not greatly affected. Those who stayed were the most bloodthirsty people. They had extremely strong fighting will without encouragement. However, now when they saw such a terrifying scene, people began to panic. The other party was too strong, far exceeding their ability to bear it.
The Holy Sect army took turns to attack, and they were routine soldiers assaulting, and they had not used large-scale siege equipment, which made the Orc Legion think that the other party had no such powerful siege weapons in a hurry. Now they realized that they were wrong, not that they did not, but that they were only taking it out and using it now. They planned all the investments in one go, and used them a few days ago to reduce the combat effectiveness of the Orc Legion to a minimum, and finally launched the strongest attack.
"No, they can't resist such an attack at all. I went down to charge and burned these wooden racks." Hong said with a serious expression on the top of the city, still fierce, but he had no much confidence in this battle.
"Take a thousand jingrui reserve team and remember to attack and do not act recklessly. If you don't work, retreat." Liang Yong patted his shoulder hard and reminded him.
"Don't worry, the orcs have no deserters." Hong roared loudly: "Brothers, go and burn all those guys."
Liang Yong also issued orders here: "Order the defenders outside the city to hide in the trenches when the enemy is not approaching, and wait until the enemy's chariot is approaching before fighting."
"The soldiers who ordered the rest of the war will join the battle in two hours."
"All reserves are ready for combat..."
After orders were issued one by one, the entire castle started to move.
At this time, the enemy's war drums sounded loudly, followed by the shouts of hundreds of thousands of people. The sound alone could set off an energy storm, the earth's vibration intensified, and the enemy's pace of advance suddenly accelerated, and the sense of oppression doubled.
"kill."
"Avenge your brothers who are dead."
"Defend the castle to death."
"Run."
The orcs also sounded war drums, and ten thousand people shouted together. A team of thousands of people rushed out of the castle and actually charged against the enemy's formation weapon. The strength of the two sides was so disparate. The 300,000 troops were blocking them, but a mere thousand people had to challenge all this.
Four or five fire pots were hung on everyone's waist. At this time, the flames were burning on the ropes and they were just pressed against their waists. But they seemed to have no feeling, galloping forward, twice as fast as a war horse, and it was ten miles away in the blink of an eye.
"Light cavalry attack." The enemy's formation had a way to deal with the orc assault. Ten thousand light cavalry rushed out from both sides. They were made of scimitars, bows and arrows, and they used arrows to get close to them. When they were close, they used swords to cut them with swords. Ten war horses were a column. At one time, attack the enemy would need to withstand the chain attacks of ten of them. No matter how strong the orcs were, they could not withstand it.
Facing the tens of thousands of light cavalrymen, Hong Weiran was not afraid and roared: "Kill." He led his subordinates to rush over to the light cavalry, and there was a great passion for the heroes to never return.
500 meters, 400 meters, 300 meters, 200 meters...
At 100 meters, the enemy had already started to shoot arrows. The rainy arrows fell more than ten meters ahead of them, and the orcs continued to charge.
At 80 meters, the arrows had reached their heads, and in less than half a minute, the two armies were about to collide together.
At this moment, Hong suddenly shouted: "Let it go."
Raise your hand and throw the raised javelin out. The orc warriors are all masters of javelins and can easily hit a distance of 100 meters, but this time Hong's target is 80 meters, and the near-distance power is doubled.
After the javelin was thrown out, they did not stop at all. Hong suddenly turned around and rushed towards the enemy's catapult on the side while running at high speed. Only then did his voice come: "Turn left."
"Puff puff puff puff..." Thousands of javelins entered the enemy formation like raindrops. Suddenly, people called the horses neighed and fell down. The horses in front fell down, and the horses behind failed to gesture, and they collided and fell down.
A round of javelin killed hundreds of opponents of cavalry, but caused a great chaos among thousands of people. The attacks of the light cavalry were stagnant, and the distance between them was getting farther and farther. No matter how powerful the cavalry was, it needed the cooperation of people and horses. There was no way to achieve the flexible turn of the orcs as freely as the orcs.
