Chapter 583: The Orc Army’s Defeat
After another week of defensive battle consumption, the Persian army began to officially fight!
The subsequent battles for several consecutive days made the Persian army's casualties exceed 5,000 at once, but at the same time, this kind of fighting method of exchanging life and exchanging injuries was also initially achieved.
As General Kafka said before, compared with the orc army, their only advantage now is that they have more people.
After the human soldiers are damaged, they can be replenished relatively easily. However, once the beast soldiers are damaged, they are restricted by the total population of the race, and they are fighting in different places, so it is not that easy for them to replenish.
But even so, the Persian army could not establish any advantage in a short period of time.
The reason is also very simple, because the soldiers recruited from emergency are basically equated with civilians. They have not received formal training and their combat effectiveness is far less than that of regular soldiers.
This makes their existence basically only play the role of cannon fodder.
If a team that has received formal training can successfully kill a beast soldier with tacit cooperation, but if it is replaced by those soldiers temporarily recruited, two or three teams may not be able to succeed.
Therefore, in the subsequent battles, in order to pursue victory, the veterans also had to choose to let the cannon fodders rush forward to consume the physical strength of the beast soldiers, leave the more powerful regular army behind, and strive for a greater chance of victory.
Because of the cruelty of the battlefield, they have no way to pin their hopes on the growth of a group of miscellaneous troops, and at the same time they have no time to let them grow slowly.
And it is also undeniable that while weakening the combat effectiveness of the orc army, this practice also reduces their food burden to a certain extent.
It can be said that this is the best solution at present.
In this way, the battle continued, and the nominal recruits and the cannon fodder troops were also killed in batches.
In this kind of battle of fighting each other, soldiers who can survive for two rounds in the recruit battalion mean that the other party's combat awareness is quite good and will be qualified to be promoted to another combat battalion.
Of course, this does not mean that they are regular soldiers.
What the regular army needs is in addition to combat awareness, what is more important is tacit cooperation and professional qualities with other soldiers. This tacit understanding and professional requirements are simply impossible to reflect those recruits temporarily recruited.
The large number of soldiers' casualties and recruitment of new soldiers kept the fortress in a delicate balance with the city behind.
But only officials in charge of governing the city know that this large number of recruits has greatly reduced the number of young and middle-aged people in the city.
That is to say, the labor force is plummeting.
But it doesn’t matter. Anyway, over the past few months, these Persian cities and armies have been basically maintained by Daxia.
Otherwise, that almost negligible output would not be enough to support the army of more than 50,000 and the population of several cities.
The battle at the frontline fortress continued, and the soldiers of the new recruits were almost in a mess, basically not forming much combat power, and the subsequent combat battalion and regular army were the key points.
The enemy's beast soldiers had completely entered a state of madness. The strong smell of blood mixed with the breath of gunpowder smoke was constantly stimulating the smell of each soldier on both sides of the enemy and us. On this battlefield, several veterans led an army to command the battle with all their might. However, as the battle time extended, the battle was in a trend of becoming more and more intense.
Just when the two sides were about to stalemate, accompanied by a violent vibration from the ground beneath their feet, a signal flare suddenly exploded in the sky, indicating that a new force was intervening in this battlefield.
It's a cavalry!
I saw a heavy armored camel cavalry rushed into the battlefield quickly from the flank!
Their speed is not fast, and they are not large in number, but their momentum is amazing, causing the entire earth to roar.
A cavalry general led by the leader held a big knife in one hand. At the moment he collided with the orc army formation, he saw the big knife in his hand, and blood splattered as the knife fell.
With just one encounter, a hyena man was cut into two pieces on the spot!
The arrival of this reinforcement army undoubtedly greatly boosted the morale of the Persian army.
Before I could think too much, several veterans quickly shouted loudly: "Your Majesty's reinforcements are here, fight back!!!"
The camel heavy cavalry dressed in heavy black armor was extremely fierce. Even when he killed orcs, he was arrogant and unstoppable.
The orc army that was attacked was suddenly hit by morale. The generals in command quickly issued a retreat order when the situation was wrong.
However, with such a good opportunity, several Persian veterans could not let go, so they directly led their troops to chase and kill them.
During this period, the camel heavy cavalry chased him even harder, and while he was chasing him, corpses on the ground were left.
The amazing combat power surprised the orc officers on the opposite side.
Although the long-term battle has caused the state of our beast soldiers to decline, it will not be killed by a cavalry on the opposite side as if cutting melons and vegetables.
This can only explain one problem, that is, the strength of this enemy cavalry is definitely far beyond that of ordinary troops.
Then before he could think about it, variables resurrected on the battlefield.
The life-chasing beast behind him was unable to get rid of it, and there was another evil tiger blocking the way out!
It was a army wearing heavy black armor. When they marched, they did not make any sound except the sound of their feet stepping on the ground.
The entire team looked a bit weird.
At the same time, it also put a lot of psychological pressure on the retreating orc army.
"Die!"
A wolfish soldier who was rushing to the front directly lifted his bayonet and rushed forward.
Amid the roar of the wolves, a black-armored warrior in the lead moved. While avoiding the attack of the wolves, he directly raised the hideous giant axe in his hand and then suddenly swung it down!
With the wielding of the battle axe, the roaring soldiers who were still clamoring the moment before were divided into two at the next moment.
The hot blood splattered on the dark armor. Although no changes were seen, it added a bit of solemnity to this heavy-armored infantry unit.
There was no need for any order, and this black armor army had already started a massacre.
The beast soldiers rushing in front tried to forcibly break through the formation, but this was simply impossible.
The black-armored infantry who was the leader was like cutting melons and vegetables. They rushed back, and then chased them all the way, and directly forced the battlefield to be divided in the most arrogant way.
Among them, the cavalry general led by the leader even burst out with incredible terrifying combat power. He waved a big knife in his hand and immediately killed a tiger man.
After a massacre, the orc army with morale collapsed completely collapsed and then fled in all directions.
The cavalry general wanted to chase after him, but the camel under his seat was so tired that he foamed at his mouth.
As he had no choice but to give up his plan to continue chasing.
It was at this time that several veteran generals who led the infantry troops rushed over.
"In Assam, who are you?"
Depending on the situation, this should be the reinforcements sent by His Majesty, but in General Assam's memory, there seems to be no such army in his own army.
So when he was uncertain, his tone of speaking was a little polite.
Immediately, a man walked out of the camel heavy cavalry, and after taking off his armor and helmet, he revealed a typical Persian face.
He only heard him say in fluent Persian, "I have seen General Assam, and His Majesty sent us to support this side."
According to a set of rhetorics that had been determined long ago, they were Dodoro Neil's direct elite troops.
As for what those veterans would think, they didn't care. They couldn't think of anything anyway. In addition, the person who was talking was wearing a typical Persian face, which was enough to let the other party relieve a lot of doubts.
After nightfall, they did not enter the fortress on the grounds that cavalry were convenient to enter and exit, but chose to stay outside.
In the camp, Qi You took off the helmet that he had been wearing for a whole day and twisted his neck with a discomfort.
"The camel's physical strength is too poor. He is not used to riding at all. Even his vision is affected. When will we change back to the Black Cloud Horse?"
Hearing this, Xue Li said helplessly: "The Black Cloud Horse is too unique. According to His Majesty's wishes, we have to hide our identity. It is impossible to change it back. And compared with ordinary war horses, camel's physical strength has improved a lot, so don't be picky anymore."
After saying this, Xue Li turned to the bear sitting beside him, and then turned the topic to the main business.
"General Xiong, what do you think of the next battle?"
In response to this, after pondering for a while, Xiong said in a deep voice: "Actually there is nothing to say. The orc army's fighting style has always been simple and crude, and there is basically no tactics. In the infantry unit, we can deal with it while controlling the opponent's troops to a certain number. What needs to be paid attention to is the behemoth units and air forces that did not appear."
Xue Li nodded in agreement when he heard this.
In order to repel Viron Gael's orc army and to successfully upgrade his Persian trumpet, this time, Xia Qi directly sent out his ace troops and the Imperial City Imperial Guard.
Of course, in order to ensure the concealment of his identity, he naturally hid a special and conspicuous mount like the Black Cloud Horse and replaced it with a camel.
