Chapter 229 When the decisive battle is in progress

The catapult only had time to fire a few rounds before the enemy rushed into the range of the archers and ballistas. These were all strong centaurs. They were the best among the cavalry because they combined man and horse.

Their weapons are very mixed, and there is no unified standard. They have long and short weapons for long-range and melee combat. Those who attack from long-range shoot arrows while running. Some throw the long javelins in their hands at the people on earth, and then pull out the long swords at their waists and shout.

They continued to charge. Their thin armor could not stop the rain of arrows, so they used their bodies to bear it. They did not fall to the ground until their bodies were covered with arrows. The companions behind them jumped over their bodies and rushed forward, very fiercely. Because the next castle was them.

home!

The Earthlings did not have many cavalry and did not dare to meet its sharp edge. They quickly withdrew from the two wings to the back of the formation, revealing a long row of shields of different sizes. Between the gaps were pieces of shining spear points, forming a phalanx of heavy pikemen.

Already waiting for the arrival of the centaur from the opposite side.

"The enemy is coming, tell me what to do?"

Wang Bin, who was standing at the front, roared loudly, and the troops behind him shouted in unison.

"Kill~kill~kill~"

Then, within a few breaths, the leading centaur rushed forward, but the originally dense formation had become sparse. Before the shield soldiers could be knocked away, a spear was stabbed into the body. The fierce centaur

He grabbed the spear he wanted to pull out, raised the weapon with his right hand, and used his last strength to slash at the shield soldier on the opposite side. Either his sternum was smashed by a one-handed hammer, or a flash of sword flashed and he was immediately disemboweled.

.

The casualties are getting bigger and bigger, but none of the centaurs flinch, and they can't flinch. As soon as they stop, they will be knocked to the ground by their companions behind them, and then trampled to death. They can only charge and charge, as long as they break through the humans

Line of defense, victory is at hand.

There were more and more corpses in front of the formation. Many centaurs jumped up high on the corpses of their tribesmen and jumped directly into the phalanx of the earthlings. They ignored the spears coming from all directions and waved their weapons indiscriminately, not wanting to kill them.

These hateful humans only want to cause chaos and gain opportunities for subsequent tribesmen.

"Woo~wu~wu~"

The low and desolate horns of the earthlings echoed on the battlefield. Several passages suddenly opened up in the forward position. Many centaurs rushed into the formation along the passages. The following troops were overjoyed.

"Humanity's defense line has been torn apart, everyone rush~"

The charging centaurs burst out with shouts that reached the sky, and their strong four hooves ran wildly into each passage. However, not long after they rushed into the passage, their hearts went cold.

The floor of the passage was littered with corpses of tribesmen. There was no sign of any panic among the humans. Various weapons on both sides kept harvesting the lives of passing centaurs. There were also some soldiers holding long-handled scythes, grinning and extending their arms nearly meters long.

The sickle blade just waited for the centaur's strong legs to hit it, and was cut in two. He fell to the ground wailing and was killed by the others!

Diversion formation, when encountering a large number of cavalry and the forward heavy pike formation is about to be unable to hold on, the cavalry is diverted and handed over to other soldiers on standby in the formation. There are people in the staff department who specialize in the ancient cold weapon formations of the earth, but this world is not

It must be applicable, many formations have been changed.

Although the diversion array was activated, there were too many centaurs, and the charge continued. More and more people poured into the array, and the casualties of the earthlings also gradually increased.

The mages who had no choice but to save their mental energy for emergencies began to show off their power. First, earth walls suddenly appeared on the path of the centaurs' charge. Countless centaurs bumped into them head-on. The ones behind them couldn't stop their forward speed, one after another.

After putting it on, the earthen wall was stained red with blood before disappearing.

Then came an overwhelming barrage of magic bullets from all types, greatly reducing the pressure on the entire army.

Wang Bin didn't want to activate the magician so early. There was also a centaur guardian who didn't show up. A large number of orc troops were also watching, waiting for the human troops to be in chaos and swarm them.

And it's getting late. If you still can't get rid of most of the centaurs at night, destroy the enemy's confidence, and fight at night with the orcs who can see at night, there is no danger to defend, and there are still cavalry making trouble, that is what an idiot would do.

thing!

The charging centaurs finally retreated, not because they were afraid of death, nor because they didn't want to kill humans, but because the mountains of corpses in front of the human formation blocked their way to continue charging, and one side of the corpse pile was crowded with half-human beings.

Stampedes of people and horses were happening all the time. When they struggled to climb up the pile of corpses with one foot deep and one shallow, they had lost the speed and power of impact. Before running in front of the human formation, the Nazis committed suicide.

Moreover, due to the obstruction of the corpse pile, the centaurs were crowded together, which made it easier for archers and catapults to attack, making the corpse pile grow taller and larger faster.

They originally wanted to go back to the flanks and launch an attack, leaving the main attack to the orcs, but the orcs asked them to wait until night. The centaur leader was so angry that he wanted to hack the opponent to death.

When the people on earth saw that the centaurs had retreated, they did not cheer. The frontline troops began to quickly dig horse pits on the ground. While digging, they retreated with the large troops. After digging for nearly a thousand meters, they were no longer as thick as the mouth of a bowl.

How deep is the horse pit? Dig a big pit instead, the kind of trench that is deep and long enough.

Not only were the frontline troops digging again, except for the archers, mages and air force, the other troops were digging on all sides.

Tens of thousands of people worked together. First, they dug two circles less than three meters deep, pouring all the animal fat they carried with them into it. Then the entire army tightened together and began to dig a deeper and wider trench around the outside.

, and continued until the sun went down.

All the excavated soil was piled on his side, forming an earthen dam with a slope and three circles of trenches, leaving only two passages only ten meters wide, one in front and one in back.

The members of the tribal alliance also discovered that they were digging trenches, but the first two trenches were dug very quickly. If they wanted to stop them, they would have to charge again. No one from the two tribes was willing to take the lead and could only watch helplessly as the humans continued to dig.

Before sunset, a scene that made the centaur atmosphere even more intense appeared. The orcs dragged back a large number of centaur corpses and began to share the food in front of them. It is said that only when you are full can you have strength during the night battle, and half

The centaurs secretly preyed on their tribesmen, but they did not turn a blind eye. The angry centaur chief had nothing to say.

With a cruel heart, the tribesmen dragged back many of the war dead, and the tragedy of cannibalism was staged! The gryphon knights who were still circling in the sky felt like vomiting!

The sky is slowly getting dark, and the earth's soldiers are also taking time to eat and rest. Everyone knows that the battle at night is the most difficult and brutal.

In the open wilderness, the night was very quiet. There were still the same few stars in the sky, and there were only the sounds of bonfires and people's whispers.

The air force has already landed and is feeding their beloved mounts. At night, the mounts are likely to fly and crash into the ground. They can only be spectators in the night battle.

Some experienced warriors were lying on their sides on the ground. They were not sleeping, but listening to the noise coming from the ground.

At midnight, when people were drowsy, a soldier suddenly jumped up.

"Be alert~the enemy is coming~"

The roar spread throughout the entire army, and the sound of the horn seemed deeper and desolate at night, and spread further.

As soon as the tribal alliance heard the horn sound, they knew that their whereabouts had been exposed. They did not expect to be able to sneak attack, they just wanted to get as close as possible quietly.

"Kill all humans and protect our territory~"

The centaur chief shouted and led the tribe to charge again.

No matter which world they go to, centaurs have a strong sense of territory. In their minds, any place they walk on is their sacred territory. They will never allow any race to invade. They will sacrifice even an inch of land.

Dry the last drop of blood.

"Hahaha, human flesh is very tender. Kill them and use their skulls to make wine glasses. Let them know that the night is our orcs' world."

The eyes of the orcs glowed eerie green under the night cover, and they also began to run wildly under the leadership of their clan leader. At night, they all turned into wild beasts that came out for hunting. They all looked ferocious and vowed to tear humans into pieces and swallow them.

"Bang bang bang~"

It was the heavy catapult that opened fire again. The first few rounds fired were kerosene bombs. In order to prevent enemies from coming from the other three sides, two rounds were also fired in the other three directions. When there were no enemies, they turned around again.

The fire ignited after the kerosene bombs shattered illuminated all directions. Although it was not as bright as during the day, the enemy could barely be seen clearly. Then the heavy trebuchets began to use kerosene bombs and stone bombs alternately, in order to achieve the maximum

For killing purposes, they are only used outside the attack range of the ballista, regardless of other distances.

The huge crossbow on the crossbow was cocked, and the cold arrow reflected the bright light of the flame. As soon as the charging centaur rushed through the coverage area of ​​the catapult, the operator stepped heavily on the pedal with his foot, and the entire body of the heavy crossbow was

Past

After a pause, the giant crossbow arrow came out of the string, flew a certain distance with a whistling sound, and hit the lower body of a centaur heavily. Even if his lower body was a horse, it was directly pierced, and the crossbow arrow went directly into the horse's belly.

.

"Idiot~ adjust the height higher and shoot the upper half of their bodies. At least you can shoot through both of them."

The people watching the battle behind the crossbow yelled in dissatisfaction. The operator of the crossbow had no time to reply and quickly adjusted the height. His companion had already loaded another crossbow arrow onto the string.

Seeing the miserable deaths of his men one by one, the corners of the centaur chief's eyes had long since burst. Not only were there bombardments from catapults in that area just now, but those inconspicuous small pits on the ground also cost the tribesmen a heavy price.

There are still pieces of broken legs left in those small pits, and the white bone stubble is so dazzling!

While dodging the stone bullets that kept falling from above his head, he also had to bypass the flames on the ground. He finally crossed the small pit and the area hit by the catapult, and jumped over the corpses of the tribesmen who were pierced by crossbow arrows. As long as he jumped over that

The three not too wide trenches are those hateful humans. The centaur chief once again shouted to the sky to encourage morale.

But as soon as he lowered his head, an arrow suddenly appeared in front of him like a ghost. He had no time to dodge, and it went down the eye socket and into his head. His four hooves gave way, and the corpse fell to the ground, no different from the corpses of ordinary tribesmen.

Then raindrops of arrows fell from the sky, and the scene during the day was repeated. Centaurs fell to the ground and died. The patriarch's body suddenly turned into a hedgehog, and his legs slowly straightened and became stiff.

"boom"

The first long trench was ignited by the archers' rockets. The sudden fire caused many centaurs who were following their companions to jump over to stop. However, they were pushed directly into the trench by their companions behind them, screaming and struggling.

After a few noises, there was no sound. Some of the strong and high-ranking people were not dead at the moment, but this was even worse. The pain all over their bodies and the heavy lower bodies made it impossible for them to climb up, and they could only be slowly burned to death alive.

.

"Use earth, use earth to put out the fire~"

Centaurs continued to be pushed into the ditch, and the charge stopped immediately. Chaotic shouts rang out everywhere. The centaurs in front used their hooves and weapons to dig into the ditch and throw them into the ditch. Some simply threw the tribesmen beside them who were constantly hit by arrows and fell to the ground.

The bodies were thrown in. The fire was continuously covered and slowly extinguished. When they jumped over the ditch again, not a single one of the group that jumped over before was dead!

The two trenches in front were not intended to stop the centaurs at all, but were deliberately designed to be a distance that they could jump over. The various animal fats that could be burned in them were the key point. The sudden fire could temporarily block the centaurs' charge, so that all kinds of

Ranged attacks kill more.

The second trench was finally extinguished and filled with the corpses of their companions, but the centaurs sadly discovered that there were not many companions around them, and they kept falling down. Looking at the third trench not far away, they felt in their hearts

Full of despair.

Looking back at the orcs who launched the follow-up charge, they had just rushed through the area covered by the catapults and saw the scene of corpses strewn in front of them. Then look at the centaurs falling helplessly in front of the third trench, even if they jumped over it.

If you get into the third trench, you will fall into the ditch along the sloping earth dam. It will be even worse if you get on the earth dam, and you will be cut into pieces directly.

Except for a few orcs, they all turned around and ran shamelessly, but not many of them actually escaped alive, because they once again ran into the area covered by the heavy catapult!

The orcs in the back didn't know why the ones in front ran back. Humans blindly followed, and the orcs followed even more blindly. Whether they were the main fighting race or the vassals, they all ran together. The orc leader looked up to the sky and sighed. In order to reduce the casualties of the main fighting race,

Those sent to the front were all weak and weak tribesmen, which turned out to be a fatal mistake!

Maybe it was a mistake to save lives. When the people who ran back said that the Centaur army had been wiped out, the orc leader could only think of the bright future and ran away at night with his tribe, leaving nearly 100,000 Centaurs in misery.

struggle!

The seemingly fierce orcs actually ran away, which surprised Wang Bin. However, this was a good thing. The expected hand-to-hand combat did not happen. The troops were only killed by the javelins and arrows thrown by the centaurs.

It is estimated that there are only a few thousand people.

Seeing that the centaurs had no fighting spirit and were not as numerous as his own troops, he waited for a while and let the long-range attacks consume their numbers. Guessing that the orcs had run far away, Wang Bin ordered his men to blow the charge horn.
Chapter completed!
