William's spitting on his knight's gloves was very vulgar! But he never felt ashamed of him. He was a soldier and a rough man. For him, there was nothing dirty or not, and it would make him feel at ease. This was enough.

The orc camp suddenly became noisy. Warriors rushed out of all the camps in three directions, and then formed a battle formation in a nervous and orderly manner...

More than 200,000 orcs surrounded more than 400,000 humans. Just looking at the numbers may be ridiculous, but the human warriors couldn't laugh at all. The orcs in front of them have already flattened many kingdoms, and their combat power must not be underestimated. Moreover, this place is no longer a safe and solid fortress. It cannot be said that there is no danger to defend, but at least this fortification is indeed useless...

The half-marathon troops interspersed between the battalions, which was related to their fighting style. The most important thing they distinguished from other orcs was that they could attack long-rangely. This allowed them not to be placed in a strong attack array, but were allocated in all directions, and 50,000 people could be fully deployed.

Similarly, the Catman troops camped next to the Centaur had to add to the frontline of the vacant positions of the Centaur Shooter with the direct intervention of the Marshal. Although the Cats were extremely reluctant, they had to take on this terrible task in the face of the strict orders of the sect leader and clan leader.

As for why this is a terrible mission, it means that it means that the cat man must send at least double the cannon fodder warriors. Although Deschamps has long defined the cat man as cannon fodder, the cat man definitely doesn't think so, but it's just under pressure.

After a considerable period of preparation, Deschamps ordered the troops to launch an attack. With the intense drumbeat, the "heavy" soldiers who had been prepared for a long time rushed out in three directions at the same time...

The reason is that the heavy equipment is relative. In fact, in the battle sequence of the orcs at this time, only tiger warriors can barely be considered heavy infantry. As for the others, they can only be haha. If you are slightly equipped with some iron armor, the defense is slightly higher than that of this clan. How can you talk about heavy equipment? Is it better to wear leather armor?

The long-range shooter troops of both sides spoke almost at the same time. Originally, in terms of range, the centaur shooter with stronger arm strength took a little advantage, but this cheaper was hit by the low-level on the terrain, and occupied most of the positions with the front troops, leveling it up. The rain of arrows that hit two collisions was launched almost at the same time, and then fell on the enemy's head at the same time.

Many orcs were shot overturned, but more human warriors were shot overturned. Their arm strength was slightly inferior to their opponents and their attack power was also inferior to those of the enemy. Most importantly, human warriors' defense was obviously not as good as orc warriors who were born with thick skin. Although human warriors have basically achieved batch and standardization of equipment production, it is obvious that these armors that pay more attention to weight rather than quality make it difficult to completely defend against the long arrow attacks of centaur archers.

Once directly hit by these larger long arrows, the armor of these ordinary warriors can only play a hindrance, reducing the fatal injury to serious injury...

The best defensive weapon is still a shield. Only warriors holding heavy iron shields can ensure that they are not shot by the enemy. However, even human craftsmen with metallurgical skills far exceeding orcs, it is difficult for them to equip all warriors with iron shields. The number of metal ores and craftsmen required is quite amazing.

No country can equip all its soldiers with iron shields, but they use iron round shields or simply skinned. Such shields are OK to fight against human archers during civil war, but to fight against stronger centaurs and larger arrow branches, they are a little overwhelmed...

In fact, in the previous round of shooting, many soldiers' shields were shot through a little, and then injured by sharp arrows. Sosuke suffered some minor injuries under the double layer of the shield and leather armor.

The attack waves that do not distinguish between key directions have brought great pressure to humans. This small slope in front of the position is not a big problem for orcs with good mobility. At most, it slightly reduces their impact speed. But as William scolded, people will play studs with you when they get started, and play full pressure. This advantage is almost negligible...

The arrows landed on the heads of the melee troops on both sides like rain. The commander tacitly did not directly conduct a long-range duel, and pulled the long-range troops under their respective command a little further. While attacking the opponent's melee troops, they could not be hit by the enemy's long-range attack.

Humans have nearly 100,000 shooting troops, but in fact, the impact effect is not necessarily comparable to that of the centaur shooter who is only half of his own. Because of this, Marshal Deschamps is building his long-range advantage and has not directly sent the centaur shooter troops to the distance of fighting. William wanted to fight desperately with others, but his troops were defending, so he could not let the archers break forward and leave the protection of melee to fight for their lives, right?

So he had no choice but to accept the current situation. Fortunately, he didn't lose much. Even if the Centaur Shooter achieved slightly more results than his own Shooter team, the gap is actually not big... It's affordable!

He ordered the adjutant to divide the shooter troops into several waves, and the shooting interval was slightly wider, so that he would not compete with the enemy for the first move in time.

As we all know, in real battles, the number of times the archer draws a bow is limited, which is mainly limited by arm strength and arm muscles. Human archers are born without the good physical fitness of Centaur Shooters. Not only the attack power and range, but the actual number of times the arch is also far inferior. People can draw 5 or 60 bows continuously, but they can't do it, and they have to stop at most thirty times!

William, who had been involved in cavalry units for a long time, also had some knowledge of cavalry and shooting. However, his cavalry and riding skills were OK, but he could hardly guarantee accuracy when he wanted to ride and shoot while he was marching. This made his idea of ​​forming a large-scale cavalry and shooting force that had not been realized.

There are limits on the number of attacks for the shooter! William is very clear that even if he himself has to rely on the support of fighting spirit after drawing a long time, let alone ordinary shooters who are countless streets worse than him, a level 8 great swordsman. In order to maintain effective output for a long time, he deliberately let his archers not compete with the enemy's shooter. If you hit yours, I will shoot mine.

Keep your best rhythm and don't fight with you. Although this outputs worse than others in a short period of time, the advantage is that his archer troops can improve their endurance. On the contrary, if you just want to fight for this tone and have to compete with the centaur archer troops, you will only lose in the fight against the long-range troops behind them.
