- Chapter 526 [It¡¯s over]
The crucible was placed on the fire, and the water inside was already boiling and bubbling. Worth your collection. .
I have to say that thanks to the heavy snow, it is very convenient for the army to get water. Just use a pot to shovel a pot of snow into the surrounding snow to melt it, and it can be used as fresh water for drinking.
Chen Daolin¡¯s army does not need to go around to chop wood to make a living. The carriages accompanying his army are loaded with some coal, which is mined from the mountains.
At night, there was silence both inside and outside the fortress.
Under strict war regulations, no one in the military camp is allowed to make loud noises. This is to ensure that the lookouts on the observation deck will not be disturbed by the noise.
A skinned and gutted sheep was grabbed by two soldiers and scrubbed inside and outside the snow, then chopped into pieces with a big ax and distributed to each team, and then thrown into a Only the crucible.
The dinner was quite sumptuous, with dehydrated dry food. Everyone also got a bowl of hot mutton soup with thick oil floating in it. The officer also got a piece of mutton in his bowl.
In the middle of the night, Montoya had already woken up from his sleep. He felt that most of the fatigue from the past few days had been removed. When he walked out of the fortress, the adjutant beside him handed him a bowl of mutton soup. Montoya took it and said nothing. As he spoke, he drank the whole drink in one gulp, chewed the tender mutton hard in his mouth, and swallowed it with a gulp.
"Where is Lord Darling?"
"My lord has taken the people to inspect the front."
Montoya nodded, and when he was about to say something, he saw Chen Daolin's disciple, Necromancer McQueen, running over.
"What's wrong? Master?"
Although McQueen is young, he is still a magician and a formidable necromancer. Therefore, the Holy Knight still maintained respect and courtesy towards him.
"The teacher has an order for you, Lord Montoya."
McQueen took out a badge from his arms and gave it to Montoya. Montoya recognized it as Chen Daolin's personal token and nodded: "What is the order?"
McQueen took a deep breath. The young magician had an excited expression on his face and whispered something into Montoya's ear.
"Understood! I will carry out the order!" Montoya's eyes sparkled: "Please tell Lord Darling that my sword will always follow his order!"
"Teacher has never doubted this." McQueen said seriously immediately.
Montoya left in a hurry, he left in a hurry. The holy knight rushed to the back of the military camp. Soon, alarming sounds came from inside.
¡¡
It was almost dawn when Chen Daolin returned to the military camp.
The commander of the military camp has been replaced by Montoya's deputy. This was an officer selected from Sylvester's personal guard camp. He was about forty years old and taciturn. He had a very common name, Adams.
¡°Everything is ready.¡±
It¡¯s just Adams¡¯ report to Chen Daolin.
Chen Daolin nodded. He knew this guy well and was very cautious. Also very stable. Although his talents in all aspects are not outstanding. But whether it is Montoya or Martin, their evaluation of him is: a qualified officer. Maybe not outstanding, but definitely qualified.
"From now on. You are my herald." Chen Daolin glanced at him: "When the war begins, you will be responsible for the specific command."
Adams said nothing and nodded. Standing next to Chen Daolin.
The orcs arrived earlier than expected.
Perhaps they smelled something, these orcs seemed eager to come south and seize the piece of fat in front of them.
When noon just passed, the sun was still shining brightly, although the winter sunshine did not provide much warmth.
On the ground, above the snow line, the shadow of the orcs began to appear.
Soon there was movement on the observation deck, and the early warning horn was blown.
When Chen Daolin walked out of the fortress, Adams had already begun to perform his tasks responsibly. He began to supervise and urge all the troops to enter their posts.
Low wall, fortress, wall stack
Adams¡¯s earnest shout made Chen Daolin smile slightly.
The main castle of this fortress has a three-story structure, two and a half floors to be precise. Half of its underground floor is exposed to the ground, and there are also openings.? a vent.
The upper two floors each have external wall stacks and combat platforms. The top floor is circular. The corridors on both sides are made of stones, which can be regarded as a permanent trench. The two corridors lead to both sides. Deputy fortress.
From the shape point of view, the overall structure of this seventh fortress looks like the Chinese character for "mountain".
"From now on, you take over the command." Chen Daolin told Adams.
Adams hesitated: "Sirhow do we fight?"
"Fight how you want to fight." Chen Daolin said calmly: "You are an officer from the Northwest Army Division, don't you even know how to fight? There are ready-made and complete defenses here, with three thousand soldiers, sufficient Ordnance and food, we occupy favorable terrain Now, Adams, show what you can do!"
Adams hesitated for a moment and said quickly: "The fort does not require us to put all the troops into the post at the same time, so we can leave five hundred soldiers in the fort as a reserve. Also, all the archers should go to the second floor. And the third floor, my lord, I need your authorization.¡±
"You have my authorization." Chen Daolin pulled out his sword and handed it into Adams's hand: "If someone disobeys the military order, you can chop off his head with my sword!"
¡¡
The afternoon sun shines on the snow, and the ground is completely white.
The orc army began to advance slowly. When they advanced to about 500 meters away from the fortress, they stopped.
Chen Daolin stood on the third floor of the fortress, squinting his eyes and looking into the distance, and couldn't help but sigh softly.
"What an ancient way of wara phalanx? Haha"
The orc phalanx was located right under Chen Daolin's nose. A simple eagle eye spell made him not need a monocular telescope at all.
The orc phalanx is exactly as Montoya described. There are more than ten large and small ones, with more and less numbers. The large phalanx may have two to three hundred people. At least there were only about thirty or fifty people.
Although overall, the array was quite neat, the way it was arranged made Chen Daolin couldn't help but sneer in his heart.
The tribal army is indeed ancient!
Of course, the orc warriors are powerful and ferocious - Chen Daolin had already experienced this personally when he first came to this world and observed it at close range.
But from a war perspective, the orc army still maintains their tradition: a backward tribal structure.
The orc army in front of you should belong to a relatively powerful tribe in the orc kingdom.
But the structure of the orc kingdom is: there are many large and small tribes under the tribe.
These tribes are large and small. The large tribes may have a population of thousands or even thousands, while the smallest tribes may have a population of thousands or even thousands. Maybe even a population of only a hundred or ten.
When the orcs start a war, a war order is issued from the orc king to each tribe. Each tribe then descends to large and small tribes under its own command.
Then tribes, large and small, will mobilize their warriors to join the war.
As a result, the orc army does not have a more scientific and reasonable army structure like the Roland Empire's army. Although it is a feudal army, it at least has a more reasonable army organization.
The organization of the orcs appears to be relatively scattered. They are organized into tribes. Larger tribes may have a larger population base. There may be hundreds of soldiers pulled out. And small tribes have a small population base. There may only be a few dozen soldiers pulled out.
Each tribe has its own phalanx, and they are clearly distinct from each other.
?From Chen Daolin¡¯s perspective. This is definitely a big drawback.
The number of rigorous combat units required in the army. When a fighter plane appears, do you need to send a company or a regiment?
This is a fixed quantity value.
hard to imagine. When you have an army under your command, some armies have a company of one hundred men, some armies have a company of three hundred men, and some armies have a company of thirty men
This is definitely a nightmare for the commander!
¡¡
The orcs were not in a hurry to attack, but Adams watched beside Chen Daolin for a while and whispered: "Their number seems smaller than the previous few days."
"Oh?" Chen Daolin glanced at Adams with interest.
"A maximum of one thousand or two people." Adams shook his head: "What we saw beforeThe orcs will not be less than 1,500. "
"Did they divide their troops?" Chen Daolin smiled.
"No, they are infantry. There is no point in dividing the troops. It seems that Lord Montoya's strategy has worked. The few hundred men who are missing should be because they occupied our fortress along the way and divided their forces to occupy and guard it. These orcs are used to being poor and won¡¯t let go of a bone once they¡¯ve grabbed it.¡±
"A very good strategy." Chen Daolin smiled: "In order to start a war, the orcs' strength was reduced by 20%."
After laughing, Chen Daolin said slowly: "Okay, let's start now, prepare to fight hard. They will attack soon!"
¡¡
The orcs' attack was faster than expected.
After they watched for a while at a distance of 800 meters from the fortress, they immediately began to beat the weird drum sound, along with the blowing of the horn.
The two phalanxes of orcs began to move forward slowly. While they were marching forward, they were still roaring and roaring deliberately. It seemed that this was the tradition of the orcs, as if they wanted to boost their morale through this crazy roar. At the same time, it intimidates the enemy.
When the two phalanx orcs entered the 500-meter area, the archers of the human defenders started shooting.
The volleys of more than 400 archers gave the orcs a severe blow!
Someone among the two orc phalanxes was quickly hit by an arrow and fell to the ground. And they began to advance rapidly. At the same time, the queue dispersed quickly.
The orcs began to run with all their strength, trying to trade speed for casualties and advance under the bunker's defense line as quickly as possible.
The orcs ran very fast, and it only took the orcs about two minutes to cover the 500-meter area effectively covered by the archers.
"With humans, the archers only had time to fire three volleys before the commander ordered free fire.
These three volleys dealt a painful blow to the orcs, judging from the visual inspection. The number of fallen orcs reached about half of the charging queue.
Behind the low wall on the ground, the soldiers also took bows and arrows and began to shoot flatly. Coupled with the downward shooting from the fortress, the dense rain of arrows weakened the charging ranks of the orcs bit by bit.
Chen Daolin was a little curious, it seemed that the orc attack was too disrupted, but soon, Adams said quickly: "These two phalanxes are just the first test, the so-called cannon fodder, their role is to consume our bows and arrows. At the same time, they test our strength. Even if most of them are killed or injured, as long as they can rush under our defense line and entangle us, the follow-up troops will come up. At that time, our soldiers are caught in a close fight, and the archers' The number will be greatly reduced.¡±
When the two orc phalanxes finally reached the low wall after spending about a hundred lives. The orc brigade behind started making a commotion!
The four orcs in the phalanx suddenly began to charge! Make a roaring sound. The formation spread out and charged towards the fortress quickly!
Chen Daolin smiled coldly when he saw it: "Let's get started!"
? said. He glanced at Adams.
Adams quickly rushed out of the crenel, picked up the horn and blew it.
Immediately. I saw a few soldiers at the forefront hiding behind the low wall under the fortress, rushing out and severely cutting off a device hidden behind the low wall!
When the rope is cut. There was a "buzz" sound
Outside the low wall, in an area about thirty meters long, the snow on the ground suddenly rose!
Under the ground, there were sections of fence covered with sharp wooden sticks!
Each section of these fences is three to four meters long, and there are more than ten sections!
Originally buried under the snow, once the rope was cut and jumped up, it suddenly showed a 45-degree angle, pointing the sharp end towards the sky!
The orc who rushed in front was immediately blocked! Some orcs couldn't stop in time as they ran, so they bumped into him and were immediately pierced through their bodies!
These dozen or so fences cover almost 80% of the defense line in front of the low wall!
Facing these fences, the orcs were trapped in place.
Heavy fences blocked the direction of the orcs' progress. Facing the sharp wooden sticks on the fences, they could not move forward and could only roar in vain. Some orcs picked up the weapons in their hands and tried to split the fence.
But in this way, their progress fell into a stalemate.
The defenders on the bunker began to use bows and arrows to their heart's content. Wave after wave of arrows fell on the heads of the orcs, and some orcs kept screaming and fell to the ground after being hit by arrows.The four subsequent phalanxes had already rushed into the defender's bow and arrow coverage. At this time, the orcs made a fatal mistake. Their commander did not seem to make a judgment and did not order them to evacuate back. , there are more than 500 orcs in these four square formations, still running forward with all their strength.
The human archers fired two more volleys, and the running orcs fell to the ground like wheat.
When more and more orcs crowded in front of the rows of fences outside the low wall, it was like the tide met a dam.
More and more orcs crowded here. The orcs in the back row tried to push forward, and the orcs in the front row roared in vain.
Although the vigorous chopping has caused some fences to collapse, and there are also orcs trying to bypass the fences
But after all, the speed is blocked.
This gives the defenders archers time to massacre!
Large numbers of orcs crowded in front of the fence. In just a few minutes, they almost became living targets!
Archers don¡¯t even need to aim too hard. As long as they shoot arrows at the crowd, they will almost never miss.
At this time, sporadic fighting began to occur on the low wall.
Although the fence line achieved its effect, there was still a gap after all. Some orcs squeezed through, clung to the low wall, and directly attacked the soldiers behind the low wall.
But the strength of this attack was too weak. A few orcs rushed to the low wall and were immediately stabbed to death by seven or eight human soldiers on the left and right.
Even though there was an orc who bravely crossed the low wall, after leaping into the low wall, he was greeted by swords slashing at him from all directions at the same time!
When several gaps were finally opened in the fence, the orcs had already paid the price of more than 300 lives!
After the largest gap was opened, the orcs let out a roar and rushed to the low wall like a tide, and the hand-to-hand combat finally began!
But at this time, the power of the orc attack is already less than one-third!
Everything. It was just like a replica of the small battle led by Montoya last time.
What greeted the orcs behind the low wall were rows of forest-like gun arrays! I saw more and more orcs being impaled on spears like barbecue.
Although some gaps were occasionally opened, they were quickly blocked by human soldiers.
The spearmen only resisted for a short time, and after causing a lot of damage to the orcs, they began to collectively drop their spears and retreat.
They were replaced by hundreds of sword-wielding soldiers who were ready behind them!
Most of these soldiers are escorts put together by the Chamber of Commerce. These people may not be able to fight hard, but they can still do a decent job of beating up a drowned dog.
There will be no more than a hundred orcs who are lucky enough to rush into the low wall, and most of them are injured! And the battle only lasted less than five minutes
The orcs expended the attack power of six phalanxes, which was almost half of their strength, and the result was that they were completely killed and injured!
The orc brigade behind seemed to be in a tangle. obviously. Their leader does not have the quality to kill decisively.
The orcs seemed to be torn between charging forward to fight with all their strength, or retreating - after all, they had already lost nearly half of their strength.
Even in Chen Daolin's opinion, the orc team began to disperse. Some phalanxes seem to be trying to move forward, while others are slowly squirming backwards
"Damnif I had a longbow team"
Chen Daolin sighed secretly in his heart.
Of course he wanted to create a unit like the English longbowmen. But the longbow is not an easy weapon to train - although the range of the longbow is very enviable.
If there is a longbow team, the distance of 800 meters should be within the range of the longbow. At this time, just one salvo will completely plunge the enemy into chaos.
"Send the signal! Send Montoya out!"
Chen Daolin nodded to McQueen who was standing next to him.
McQueen immediately took out a wooden tube from his arms and broke it with force.
Suddenly. A puff of red smoke rushed straight into the sky
A few hundred meters behind the fort. Behind the woods, there was a sound of horse hooves immediately!
Where. Following Chen Daolin's order, Montoya gathered the three hundred most elite cavalry here These three hundred cavalry were all the original guard battalions of the Northwest Army Division!
This is the real elite!
Three Hundred Riders got the signal. He quickly walked out from behind the woods where he was hiding, and with a roaring sound, he rushed towards the orc group that was still standing there in the distance!
¡¡
Montoya¡¯s left-hand tomahawk. With the mace in his right hand, he was the first to rush into the orcs' phalanx!
The orc phalanx seems to be in a bit of chaos.
The sight of the attacking troops being completely lost plunged these orcs into panic.
When Montoya took the lead and rushed into the phalanx, the shield in the hands of the orcs in the front row was easily shattered by the fighting spirit of this holy knight!
The mace hit an orc warrior in the face, and a ball of flesh and blood flew out with more than a dozen teeth. In Montoya's other hand, the battle ax also knocked an orc away with his shield at the same time!
A gap was opened in the phalanx, and the cavalry rushed into the gap crazily!
The first square formation was quickly penetrated!
At this time, the problem of the backward organization of the orc army was fully exposed!
Each of their square formations are clearly distinct, resulting in a lack of connection with each other and a lack of coordination between large and small square formations.
When a phalanx was penetrated, the other surrounding phalanxes seemed to fall into chaos. Some phalanxes tried to come over and fight, some seemed to be retreating, and some seemed to be still hesitating about what to do. Do.
The three hundred knights were like sharp knives piercing into the orc team!
Montoya did not take credit for this charge. After the team penetrated a square formation, before the orcs could react and recover, Montoya had already led the cavalry away quickly, far away from the flank. battlefield!
This is what Chen Daolin told Montoya, also known as
Flying a kite.
Montoya retreated immediately after the first fight and ran away after taking advantage. This approach finally angered the orcs.
Two phalanxes broke away from the brigade at the same time and chased Montoya's cavalry team.
But in the wilderness, how can a two-legged orc outrun a four-legged war horse?
After running for a while, when Montoya found that the chasing team behind him was scattered, he easily made a detour, then turned back and bit off a piece of meat from the orc's body!
In fact, the cavalry's damage to the orcs is not that great, but its disturbing effect on the team is very obvious.
And here at the fortress, Chen Daolin was ready to counterattack.
Adams led five hundred sword-wielding soldiers, who had already crossed the fortress, formed a charging formation, and rushed towards the orcs' main team!
At this time, the orc team was in disarray! !
Chen Daolin did not personally participate in the battle With the strength of a saint-level warrior, he could deal with the orcs even if he acted alone.
But he always stood by and watched, and his purpose was very clear!
"After this battle, this rookie army should be considered advanced, right?"
He shook his head.
McQueen beside him seemed a little eager to give it a try: "Teacher, are weare we just here to watch?"
"Do you want to go up?" Chen Daolin waved his hand and smiled: "This battle is over."
