The resistance of the orcs lasted less than a meal, and finally collapsed.
The rearmost phalanx of the orcs began to retreat slowly, leaving the battlefield, and then retreated faster and faster.
Obviously, that is the team where the commander of this orc army belongs. When the commander's phalanx began to retreat, the other phalanxes finally wavered.
Montoya's cavalry, like a spear, had penetrated several holes in the Orc army back and forth. Coupled with the countercharge of 500 sword-wielding infantry brought by Adams, the Orc formation was crushed.
When the team completely collapses, a big rout is inevitable!
In the snow, there are running orcs everywhere. These orcs have discarded the wooden shields, tree sticks, swords and axes in their hands. They can no longer maintain the basic formation and just run wild in the snow
At this time, the military qualities of Montoya and Adams were revealed.
The two completed a tacit cooperation. Montoya's cavalry immediately accelerated to catch up from the side, then outflanked, cutting off the defeated orc army time and time again, just like cutting meat, cutting it off piece by piece.
Adams' infantry team calmly caught up, and the defeated troops who cut off Montoya's cavalry team surrounded and destroyed them.
Adams¡¯ infantry only pursued for 500 meters before moving any further - the snow-covered ground made running too exhausting for the infantry.
Montoya's cavalry pursued them all the way with all their strength, always maintaining sufficient pressure on the defeated orc army, making it impossible for them to stop halfway to reorganize.
After repeated pursuits and defeats, the morale of the orcs was finally completely shattered. The orcs could no longer organize effective resistance and retreated towards the north in disarray.
Montoya pursued all the way and not only inflicted heavy damage on the orcs. At the same time, he also easily conquered two fortresses occupied by orcs.
When it got dark and Montoya's cavalry finally returned, Adams' men had already cleared the battlefield.
In this battle, the orcs lost completely.
The orcs paid more than four hundred lives. In addition, more than 600 orcs were captured. More than half of them were seriously injured.
Such serious injuries, in such bad weather, these seriously injured orcs cannot survive, and Chen Daolin has no intention of treating the injuries of these orcs: after all, in this era, any medicine is precious, and Chen Daolin has no obligation to treat the injuries of these orcs. These enemies waste their own medicine.
There were two hundred and eighty-three orc captives with minor injuries, and these orcs were treated - of course this was not because of Chen Daolin's kindness.
Orc slaves can be sold at very good prices in the empire!
There are many wealthy chambers of commerce. Businessmen in mines and mountainous areas are willing to spend money to buy these strong orcs to do the dangerous and heavy work.
What's more, Chen Daolin himself has a coal mine in Mount Kilimaro. Letting these orcs work as miners can free up a lot of Chen Daolin's own people's labor force.
Montoya¡¯s return also brought an important prisoner.
This is the commander of this orc army!
This surprised Chen Daolin.
This orc commander is not very old. According to the age of the orcs, he can only be regarded as a young adult. The body is very strong. He is a standard cattle orc.
Chen Daolin immediately began rigorous interrogation.
Chen Daolin was very satisfied with the confession he received.
Facts have proved that his guess was not wrong.
This invading orc army is a relatively large tribe in the southern border area of ??the orc kingdom. This tribe has a population of more than 10,000. More than three thousand young orc warriors can be mobilized.
This time the orc invasion was completely led by this tribe.
It is said that the leader of this tribe heard some rumors. It is said that there is a problem with the Northwest Fortress in the south. The Northwest Army has been recalled by the Tulip family, and the Roland Empire is falling into civil strife.
After hearing the news, the orc tribe was ready to take action. In order to grab the fat first, the orc tribe sent troops out to test the situation without waiting for the orc king's decision.
They mobilized half of their tribe's army and tried to take advantage of winter to launch a sneak attack - if they waited until spring to attack. I'm afraid that the orc king has already mobilized other tribes by then, and by then, I'm afraid the fat he gets will be much less.
??With the idea of ??eating alone, this tribe of orcs acted alone. However, their leader still had concerns, so he only mobilized half of the tribe's combat power, led by the tribe leader's son, to invade south.
The captured commander is the son of the tribal leader and the heir to the tribal leader.
After getting this information, Chen Daolin was not relaxed.
"After winter at the latest, the orcs will launch a massive attack."
Chen Daolin summoned Montoya and said with a wry smile: "According to the prisoners' confessions, they have reported the rumors they heard to the Orc King. Therefore, sooner or later, the Orc King will order the mobilization of troops to invade. When the time comes, we will face It¡¯s not just a small orc army.¡±
"They have an army of orcs, but we have you!" Montoya's expression was very firm: "Dear Sir, you are a saint-level powerhouse! With you in charge, you are enough to resist thousands of armies!"
"But the orc king is also a master of the holy level, and I heard that the orcs may have more than one holy level. And I am very worried that once we spy on our weakness, it will not only be the orcs who will attack, but the dwarves may also be ready to attack. !¡±
Chen Daolin shook his head: "We will lose the northwest fortress by spring at the latest maybe even earlier."
Montoya said nothing.
¡¡
By night, the battlefield had been cleared.
McQueen was wearing black clothes and walking alone on the battlefield.
The snow has been dyed red in patches with blood. The necromancer is holding a crystal ball in his hand, and he seems to be walking casually on the battlefield. However, as he chants the spell, a small amount of water condenses in the air. A small ball of black arrogance was finally captured in the crystal ball.
In the distance, the human soldiers looked at all the actions of the young magician with awe, and everyone stood as far away as possible. Don't dare to get close
¡¡
"The soul power of the orcs is very powerful."
McQueen looked very satisfied when he returned to the fortress. He said to Chen Daolin: "Teacher, if there are a few more battles like this, maybe my Necromancer can directly advance to the first level."
Chen Daolin glanced at McQueen: "What are you going to do with those orc corpses?"
McQueen thought for a while: "I need to leave a few corpses for dissection and research. Undead magic requires research and understanding of the body structure of living creatures As for the rest"
¡°You pick some to keep, and the othersdonate them to the Magic Academy. I remember that the institute in the academy always complained that there was not enough material for dissection and specimen preparation.¡±
"The college will be very grateful, and they will definitely be willing to donate a sum of money to you." McQueen was overjoyed.
Chen Daolin thought for a while: "If they are willing to donate, then this money should be treated as spoils of war. Let it be distributed among the soldiers."
In this battle, Chen Daolin was not without damage.
The cavalry group lost 44 people in the battle and injured 28 people. Four of them were seriously injured and refused to continue serving.
The casualties of the infantry team were greater. One hundred and nine people of the infantry team were killed and 40 people were slightly injured. Eighteen were seriously injured.
Most of the casualties were the escorts of the Chamber of Commerce. These guys lacked cooperation and military literacy and swarmed forward when fighting. On the contrary, the soldiers trained by Chen Daolin knew better about protecting themselves on the battlefield.
"Generally speaking, this is a great victory." Montoya expressed satisfaction: "Orc warriors have always been known for their strength. But we only paid more than 200 casualties, in exchange for six times the enemy's losses. .¡±
¡¡
The defeated army of more than 300 orcs fled north.
Among them were the orc defenders who had previously occupied two forts. After receiving the news that the main force was defeated, they simply gave up the captured forts. He packed up his bed and fled north.
After Montoya finally gave up the pursuit, these orcs finally had a chance to stop, take a breath, gather their troops, and do some organization.
More than three hundred orc warriors. Almost half of them were wounded, and most of them no longer had weapons and equipment in their hands, all of which were discarded on the way back.
Leaving the defense area of ??the northwest fortress group. From here to return to their own tribe, they still have to walk for at least two or three days.
Although the wind and snow have stopped, these three hundred orc warriors, who are short of food and clothing, and have lost all their equipment, are in an isolated and helpless state.
It is very painful to run away hungry, especially in such cold weather.
What worries these orcs even more is that they have lost their commander!
Everyone knows how much the tribal chief loves his son. The chief's son was lost on the battlefield. When we return to the tribe, we will be greeted by the chief's thunderous wrath. No one knows what kind of punishment they will suffer
¡°A disastrous defeat, losing the army, plus the guilt of losing the leader
All the orcs were sighing.
And just in the middle of the night
They are surrounded again!
A group of black shadows appeared in front of them, which seemed a little strange in the white snow.
The orcs have become frightened. When they notice the movement, their first reaction is to flee. But soon, they discovered that the situation was different!
These do not seem to be human cavalry pursuit units. When human cavalry runs, there will be the sound of horse hooves and the sound of horses neighing.
But this army
"It's a Wolf Rider!!!"
In the darkness, I don¡¯t know which orc shouted first.
This shout immediately made the orcs excited!
Everyone knows that the Wolf Riders are the elite in the Orc Kingdom!
¡°Could it becould it be that the great Beastman King sent his elite to save us? !
But soon, some orcs discovered something was wrong!
This wolf cavalry appeared in front, but they did not stop. Instead, they quickly separated and surrounded the people like themselves from both sides
In the darkness, a majestic giant wolf walked out of the team.
Riding on the horse, Lei with golden hair all over his body, in the darkness, a pair of wolf eyes shined with green light.
"Good eveningmy futuresubjects!"
Lei grinned, showing his sharp fangs!
