Seventy-seven, the flames of war (6)

This is a war of pure cavalry. A large number of cavalry launched a life-and-death battle with a huge enemy on the front of twenty kilometers wide. The three beast gods of the army did not concentrate their full efforts against the Eighth Cavalry Legion. The people concentrated about half of their troops, but they concentrated all the elite troops, including 2.5 million tiger-man heavy cavalry, 2.5 million lion heavy cavalry, 3 million wolf cavalry elites and 40 million ordinary wolf cavalry, totaling 48 million troops. The total strength of the Eighth Cavalry Legion of the Bright Eighth Cavalry Legion is 30 million, and the difference in strength between the two sides is 18 million. The difference in strength is not very far. Which side can win depends on the combat effectiveness and command ability of both sides.

The tiger man heavy cavalry, the lion man heavy cavalry and the wolf cavalry elite became three huge arrows and launched a charge towards the Eighth Cavalry Legion. The 40 million cavalry were divided into three groups, and the 20 million wolf cavalry followed the Tiger man heavy cavalry, and 10 million wolf cavalry on each side of the left and right wings followed behind. The Eighth Cavalry Legion concentrated nine million cavalry. Seeing the orcs divided into three main attacks, they also divided into three routes to resist. The torrents of the two sides collided and the battle began.

The orcs have relatively strong combat power, while the Light Army is blessed by magic. The combat power of both sides is almost equal. Both sides are elite troops and have a lot of combat experience. Therefore, they are not inferior in morale and other aspects at that time. It can be said that this is a even-match battle.

Due to the width of the position, tens of millions of cavalry could not be put into the battlefield at once, and could only be put into the battlefield in batches. If the density of the cavalry was too large, the casualties would be greatly suffered. Therefore, the first batch of orc cavalry charges were only 600,000, but 600,000 was already quite impressive. A black torrent formed on the 25-kilometer-wide position and rushed towards the Light Army. Under the dim moonlight, the shadow of the sword was as snow as snow, and the sound of hooves was heard, and the dust was everywhere.

The collision between cavalry and cavalry began. The orc's long sword slashed the cavalry of the Light Army one by one. In this battle between heavy cavalry, the orc's long sword definitely had the upper hand. The four-meter-long sword was produced by the dwarfs. The power was absolutely not easy. Every knife was slashed out, and the fighting spirit was fully penetrated. Sometimes, with one knife, even the people and the mount were cut into two halves, and only blood was seen splattering and blood stained with yellow sand.

The great sword of the Light Army is not for food. Although the power of the great sword is not as powerful as a long sword, it can also kill people and kill people. From time to time, orc cavalry are chopped down by the great sword. On such a battlefield, no matter how strong a person is, he can only protect himself. Faced with countless enemies, he does not know the Dou Qi Slash from there, nor does he know what magic came from. All the cavalry can only rush over to death. Those who do not have the courage to charge will only die faster.

Under the moonlight, two torrents were gathering, and then, in the shrinking, half an hour later, one side had disappeared, the first wave of cavalry charged by the Light Army had all been destroyed, and the orcs had about half of their troops left, and the orcs won the first formation.

The combat power of the orcs is originally above the Light Army. Although the Light Army is blessed with magic, orcs still have advantages on the mounts of weapons and equipment. Although these advantages have not reached the point of deciding the outcome of the war, on the battlefield, the advantage is sometimes half of the victory. In such a frontal battle, the result of the advantage is that the orcs wiped out the opponent's 700,000 troops with half of the troops lost.

The first wave of orc cavalry retreated, the second wave of cavalry came to the death again, and the Guangming Army also sent a second wave of cavalry, and the two sides fought each other again, and the corpses on the ground gradually increased, and countless wounded but incapable of movement were stepped on by a large number of mounts into meat pies. The battle began to become even more cruel.

Countless mounts and human corpses turned into mass of meat paste, becoming fertilizers under the yellow sand. After a single cavalry rushed back, he replaced a new wave of new forces. The two sides continued to invest their troops in this way. The number of cavalry was decreasing at a rate of millions per hour, and the sun began to rise in the east.

On this side, the three Beast God Army and the Eighth Cavalry Legion of the Light Army were fighting to the death. Although the Ninth Legion over there had already received support from the 11th and 12th Legion, they were still killed and fled. A large number of soldiers fell under the iron hooves of the orc cavalry, turning into souls under the sword, and the defeated soldiers retreated like a tide. Unfortunately, most of them were infantry, and although the speed was not slow, they were not as fast as the four legs of the cavalry. If there were no more reinforcements, then these three legions would be eaten by the orcs sooner or later.

Although the combat effectiveness of the two sides is not very big, the Guangming Army has been attacking for eight consecutive days and has not received a good rest, so the soldiers are already quite tired. However, the orcs have rested well within these eight days and basically don’t go out. In this way, the morale and fatigue of both sides are not at the same level. The orcs are free to work, while the Guangming Army cannot be said to be extremely tired, but they are also very tired. It would be good if they can maintain their combat effectiveness at around 70%. In this way, the Guangming Army suffered a great loss in the battle between the two sides. In addition, the natural suppression of the cavalry on the infantry is that there is a ghost if the Guangming Army is undefeated.

After a brief rest, the 14th, 15th and 16th legions of the Light Army supported the 9th, 11th and 12th legions, gathered the main forces of the three legions and the remnants of the three legions, and barely blocked the orc army's troops. A large number of infantry formed a formation to block the orc cavalry's mad attack, but the battle was far from over.

The battle is still continuing, and the Eighth Light Cavalry Legion is at its end. Although Somas has gathered cavalry troops from other legions to support him, in the face of the powerful cavalry of the Orcs' three guards, a group of cavalry of the Light Army still fell under the butcher knife of the Orcs' cavalry, and his troops are getting less and less. On the contrary, although the orcs have paid a huge price, the orcs still maintain a very strong combat power.

Originally, the Ninth Orc Army and the Tenth Light Army were basically troops of the same level. The strengths of both sides were not much different, and they were both elites among the elites. However, since the Xuantian reform, the Orcs spent a lot of effort to get equipment and training on the Ninth Orc Army, which greatly improved the strength of the Ninth Orc Army. If the combat power of both sides was still one to one, then the Ninth Orc Army after equipment and intensive training had reached a level of one to two. Now, the elites of the three armies have gathered to fight the Eighth Cavalry Legion. It is really unreasonable that the Eighth Cavalry Legion is unbeaten.

The sun sets again, the earth is dark again, and the wind on the summer night is still quite cold, but the earth is now full of war, and the orcs have not stopped attacking. The Light Army cannot stop, but the Light Army suffered a great loss. The Orcs have been ready for battle early in the morning, and they have food and water on their bodies, and they can eat and replenish at any time. However, the Light Army has no preparation at all. After fighting hard for a long time, the soldiers are tired and hungry, and even the last trace of physical strength has been exhausted. The soldiers just gritted their teeth and persevered. If the Orcs were not still attacking wildly, they would have been afraid that the Light Army would have fallen to the ground in the morning.

Somas was already complaining in his heart. He never dreamed that he would be beaten so badly. He was too careless. If his preparations were more than enough, it would not have fallen to this point. His Eighth Cavalry Legion was almost finished, with only more than three million remaining soldiers left. However, among the more than 30 million orcs, there were still more than 10 million of the orcs' more than 30 million troops. Although he had paid nearly 50% of the losses, if he could annihilate a unit in the Ten Light Army here, the three orcs would be very happy.

Because the battlefield is not too big, although the Guangming Army had more troops, it could no longer be put into the battlefield. Seeing that the remaining legions that did not participate in the war could not support their own people, they took the opportunity to attack the Orc camp. However, there were four legions in the Orc camp. If the Guangming Army wanted to capture the Orc camp with the troops of five legions, there would basically be no hope.

It can be said that the Guangming Army was defeated in this battle. As long as the Eighth Cavalry Legion was destroyed, it would be an unprecedented victory for the orcs. Although the Guangming Ten Army had also been defeated, it had never been completely wiped out. If it was completely wiped out here, it would be afraid that the Temple of Light would be completely shaken. Therefore, Somas had to take the idea of ​​retreating. However, now, more than 100 million troops were intertwined with the enemy on this battlefield, and it was not so easy to retreat.

Yin Yue's face, standing on the wall of the village, had never changed. The five tiger maids beside her were also watching the battlefield with her, but they couldn't see anything. Yin Yue looked at it for a while and smiled and said, "Somas should have retreated to this point, but is it so easy for him to retreat? If you don't destroy you here today, will Brother Tian and I still call Xuantian Yin Yue?"

In the first half of the night on June 28, Somas was finally ready to retreat, but just as he was about to retreat, a scout ran to him and reported: "Report to the deputy commander-in-chief, a large number of troops came to the north of our army, with a large number, and was the banner of orcs. It is estimated that the deputy commander-in-chief will arrive in two hours. Please ask the deputy commander-in-chief for instructions." "What? What kind of troops is the other party?" "We just saw Chentou, but the opponent's situation is very strong. We estimate that it should be the wolf cavalry. The front line of their vanguard has been stretched to 200 kilometers, and the left and right wings have already encircled our army left and right."

Somas's face changed drastically. He could not have expected that the orcs had a large number of troops in the back as reinforcements. After a day and two nights of battle, his subordinates were exhausted. How could they resist the orcs' reinforcements? What should I do? I can't fight, so I can only retreat. However, facing the speed of the orc wolf cavalry, can they retreat if they want to retreat?
