Chronicles of Ryan the Wizard

Chapter 368 Prairie (2)

Since Ryan woke up from a deep sleep, humans retired and their morale was restored, especially when the orcs attacked Thor’s fortress that night, those fighters who fought under Ryan had experienced the test of life and death, no matter in terms of experience. Still have a substantial improvement in psychology and become a real elite.

General Jonas has been in the army for nearly two decades and he is very experienced in this area. After discussing with Ryan, he used these surviving elites as the backbone to reorganize the collapsed soldiers he gathered to form a new one. Legion.Speaking of which, among the many senior officers in Thor Fortress, the only one still alive is General Jonas.General Keynst, who was originally a nobleman, was born in the South because General Jonas was born in the south and was still a civilian, so he suppressed Jonas and his subordinates a lot. In terms of military strength, he was only given a lack of recruits, and he was far inferior to Clark, who was also a nobleman in the imperial capital. Legion is good.

It is a pity that things are unpredictable. Now Jonas is the only senior officer in the retreat of Thor Fortress. According to the laws of the empire, he has become the supreme commander of Thor Fortress until the emperor issues a new appointment.But now that Fernando XIII is killed, it seems that Jonas will be in this position for a long time to come.

However, Jonas would first seek Ryan’s opinion on everything, because in name Jonas was the commander of this corps of broken soldiers, but in fact the spiritual leader of the vast majority of these tens of thousands of fighters was Ryan. That night Ryan’s crazy killing of enemies has spread throughout the entire team. Even Androcos, a magister, said in private: “Ryan is not a human, but a pervert! He releases hundreds of fireballs in one night, and only After two days of rest, I am alive and kicking again. Is there any reason? I can only lie down in the carriage now! I will never call the God of Wisdom anymore. I will call Ryan instead."

Although the last sentence of this sentence is just a joke, it also proves Ryan's strength even more.In the army, the qualifications, background, background, and identity are meaningless things. Soldiers care about officers who can lead them to defeat the enemy and save their lives, not the waste of noble blood and famous reputation but losing the battle. Ryan used his own power to eliminate more than 5,000 orcs. He also led human warriors to win more with less, breaking the convention that humans on the plains must use multiple military strength to win against orcs. What else is Is it more convincing for the soldiers on the front line of the battle?

At noon on the second day after Ryan woke up, the chasers of the orcs appeared in the scout's field of vision, but to everyone's surprise, there were only 5,000 chasers.The human army simply let the carriages and civilians full of food go first, leaving the main force in place, and setting up a formation to wait for these chasing soldiers quietly.

Two hours later, the chasing soldiers of the orcs appeared in front of the human phalanx.Jonas sat on the battle horse, looking at the army of orcs coming from Juechen, and couldn't help cursing: "That's it, do you look down on us too much?" Indeed, the orcs chased only 5,000 troops, and their equipment was also uneven. Some are not uniform, some have bronze weapons, some are made of iron, some are on their bodies, and some are actually wearing the standard armor of human infantry.The entire orc chasing soldiers didn't have any formation, so they chased up chaotically, and then rushed toward the human phalanx that was waiting in a swarm.

"General, give an order!" General Jonas's men couldn't bear to beg for a fight: "Hit them well and let the brothers vent their anger!"

Jonas looked at Ryan next to him. The latter was silent on a docile horse, and his face was very calm, not like a warrior waiting to fight on the battlefield.Jonas thought for a while, then issued an order: "The infantry phalanx defends on the spot, and the cavalry commander goes from the right side to the orc flank waiting for the charge order.

With the sound of horseshoes, 10,000 unarmored cavalry, led by their commander, broke away from the main phalanx, and went around an arc to the right side of the human position to stand by, and the orc chasers, who were originally far less in number than humans Unexpectedly, there was no response, and he ran all the way in a mess.

"Damn green-skin bastard!" Colin scolded viciously behind Ryan. Because he and Thomas were Ryan's powerful officers, everyone got a horse.

Thomas said in an interface: "Yes, these savage guys don't have any military knowledge at all. Our army obviously has an offensive formation. They actually didn't care and they just ran into it."

"Don't be careless!" Jonas said suddenly: "The orcs are inferior to us in these aspects, but their advantages are also obvious, that is, the combat power of a single body, whether it is strength or fierce combat, is not comparable to us humans. Yes. In fact, for them, the battle is to charge and approach, and then desperately kill the enemy or be killed."

Colin and Thomas were speechless for a while, and Jonas's words left them with no power to refute. At this time, the human cavalry force had reached the designated position and was ready to attack.

Jonas squinted his eyes. He still couldn't understand what these orcs were pursuing soldiers. However, after learning the traces of these chasing soldiers, he sent out scouts one after another and searched a radius of tens of kilometers. There is no shadow of the second orc army.Jonas hesitated and decided to fight back on the spot. He couldn't let the 5000 orcs drive his party back to the capital like this, right?Since it's been delivered to the door, let's eat it first, if there is any conspiracy, isn't there Ryan is there.

Jonas looked at the orc soldiers getting closer and calculated the best time to attack. After all, these 10,000 cavalry soldiers do not have armor. Although they will run faster, they have almost no defense. Once they fall into hard fighting, they will be troublesome. Up.Seeing that the orc rushing in the front was less than 50 meters away from the human, Jonas immediately said: "Infantry phalanx, raise the gun!"

More than a dozen soldiers immediately held the flag high, urged the horses to run, and loudly passed Jonas's orders. Ten thousand human infantry all raised their spears and aimed their sharp blades at them. Orcs rushing up.In front of these 15,000 spear warriors, there are 5,000 warriors holding shields and long swords. They put their shields tightly on their left shoulders, and then slightly side their bodies, facing the front of the shields to the orcs, so they can resist the orcs at any time. Attack, these 5,000 sword and shield warriors will become the first line of defense of the human phalanx, gaining precious time for the comrades behind them.

After these human warriors experienced a short rest, their mental state was much stronger than when they were just defeated, especially those surviving veterans who kept admonishing them that when forming a phalanx against the orcs, they should never have Anyone who is shaken and runs away without wanting to die must die the fastest, because he has lost the support of his comrades.And as long as you stand firmly in the phalanx and give your back and sides to your comrades, you don't need to be afraid of orcs' attacks.Although the orcs are very powerful, the human gun array is not inferior to them. The ability of these veterans to temporarily form a square formation with 3,000 troops to kill more than 7,000 elite orc fighters is the best proof.

Therefore, the spear formation composed of human warriors stood steadily on the spot. They far exceeded the enemy in number, and there was also the Lion Magician behind them. Even if the situation is critical, as long as Lion takes action, everything can be solved.With this thought in his heart, all human warriors naturally have no fear.Also fearless were the orcs. They started running with all their strength from a few hundred meters away, and just like this, they bumped into the phalanx of 20,000 human warriors.

"Bang!" There was a dull sound of impact. The orc warriors slammed into the shields of the human sword and shield warriors standing in the first row of the phalanx. The human sword and shield warriors that were hit by the huge impact retreated, but in these humans Behind the sword and shield warriors, those armed with long spears long ago lowered the 3-meter long spears and aimed them at the orcs. Without exception, the orcs that hit the shield were penetrated by the sharp spears.

"Huh!" The spear fighters standing in the third row of the phalanx stabbed the spears in their hands without hesitation, while the spear fighters in the second row took back their spears in a tacit understanding.When the long spears of the soldiers in the third row pierced to the limit, the soldiers standing in the fourth and last row also stabbed their long spears, and at the same time, the soldiers in the third row began to collect the long spears. .

It's tedious to say, but these human fighters have experienced similar training for at least half a year. As long as the leader of the team shouts an slogan, they will make corresponding actions in a uniform manner.In this way, piercing, retracting, piercing, and retracting again and again, regardless of whether the spear hits the target, or whether there is an enemy in front of them, these human fighters need to do is just a few familiar people who can no longer practice. Familiar standard action.

The orc warriors simply do not have a neat attack formation, and they cannot cause continuous pressure on the gun formation composed of human warriors. Sometimes, a few powerful orcs hacked to death the sword and shield warrior in front of them and rushed into the human phalanx. Inside, but there are no companions behind him to support him.These orcs who broke through the phalanx were only able to cause a little bit of local chaos, and then they were killed by the siege of human superior forces.

Jonas looked from behind and shook his head. What are these orcs thinking? Did they come here to die?But thinking about it, Jonas has never been careless. Even though humans have taken an absolute advantage, he still sends out scouts to investigate everywhere, but still can't find other orcs in the vicinity of dozens of kilometers.

Soon, the battle came to an end. The remaining hundreds of orcs no longer charged forward, but turned their heads and ran away. The human infantry phalanx did not get the order and did not pursue it, but Jonas made a cavalry charge. The command.10,000 cavalry lined up in a charge formation and rolled over the hundreds of orcs who fled without mercy, leaving only a spot of blood.The battle was over in less than ten minutes. The human beings only paid dozens of soldiers killed in battle, and at the cost of more than 100 wounded, they wiped out the 5,000 orc pursuers and won a rare victory.
