Chronicles of Ryan the Wizard

Chapter 418 Decisive Battle Royal Observatory (9)

The orcs launched another attack on the human front in front of the royal court.Whether it is an orc or a human, at the beginning of this battle, they used the method of throwing stones at each other to attack the enemy from a distance.The sky full of stone bullets flew through the air with the howling sound generated by cutting through the air, and then fell to the ground, harvesting the lives of enemy soldiers.

However, the killing effect caused by this method has become worse and worse, because with the continuation of the war, both sides have summed up a whole set of methods to reduce the damage from the bomber attack, such as hiding the body as much as possible behind a solid bunker. , People should not gather together, try to disperse and avoid etc.

In fact, the scene of the two sides shooting stone bullets is quite spectacular, but the biggest effect of the dropped stone bullets is to destroy the opponent’s position. Even if the stone bullets fall on the ground and shoot continuously, they will soon be criss-crossed. The bunker is blocked, and the killing of personnel, as long as it is not a direct hit, will not have a very good effect.

After the orcs shot nearly tens of thousands of stone bullets in one breath, they finally launched a ground attack. The tens of thousands of orcs were wearing messy armor and carrying various weapons in their hands, rushing towards the human position like a tide.The equipment of the orcs is taken from human material warehouses, but due to the large difference in size between the two races, the standard armor of human warriors is mostly not worn by orcs, so most of the orc warriors wear the chain armor used by human warriors, or Wear only those parts that can be worn in.

The protection of the orc warriors is still somewhat effective in short-term combat, but it is useless in the face of human drappers and ballistas. However, the orcs still yelled and launched a charge, because they had no retreat.Under the strict orders of the Beast King, the orcs’ stag, gray wolf, and lynx clans have all put all their strength together. If they flee timidly, they will definitely die in the hands of the bear clan superintendent team behind them. They can only move forward with all their strength. There is still a glimmer of life if we seize the ground of mankind.

With the belief in decisive death, the orc warriors exploded with great combat power. Originally, the orc warriors were stronger than humans in a single body, but now they are launching an attack with a determination to die.The patriarchs of the Stag, Gray Wolf, and Lynx clan also promised their soldiers for their own lives that as long as they die on the way forward, their families will be generously treated, and once they are found with their backs to the human position, Immediately, the patriarch will execute the military law mercilessly.

When the battle began, the human warrior was surprised to find that the orc on the opposite side suddenly became fearless. This was supposed to be the winning weapon for the human warrior to defeat the orcs, but now it appeared on the human enemy.Not to the horror of the human warriors, even if the roaring crossbow bolts penetrate the orcs' bodies alive, they will still struggle to crawl towards themselves.

The overwhelming stone bullets and the endless stream of crossbow arrows could not stop the orcs from advancing. Often, the former orc fell to the ground and died, and another orc stubbornly came up behind him.Many orcs with shields in their hands directly put this shield on top of their heads to prevent small stone bullets and feather arrows from falling from the sky. As for those flying from the front, there are at least adult crossbow arrows with the thickness of the waist of an adult. Can't help but just let it happen.

Orcs certainly don't use a dense formation, they still use a looser formation to reduce the damage caused by human drappers and ballistas.Of course, the formation of the orcs can't be too sparse, otherwise they won't be able to form enough impact force at all. Even if the pioneer troops invade the human position, they will be abandoned because of the subsequent weakness.

A crossbow arrow pierced into the orc’s charge formation with a howling sound. The powerful impact not only cut off the lazy waist of the orc running in the front, but also continued to fly forward until the five orcs were pierced. together.When the crossbow arrow stopped advancing, a small gap appeared in the orc formation, but it was quickly replenished by the orcs in the back row.

As the orcs approached, the human drapers were powerless, and they had to focus their energy attacks on interfering with the advance of the orcs’ follow-up troops, and all the ballistas increased their firing frequency to try to do their best before the orcs rushed up. May weaken the opponent's strength.

But a scene that surprised the human warrior appeared. Even if the human ballista increased the firing frequency, it still could not suppress the orcs' offensive. There was even a scene where the ballistas hit the orcs more and more. This is because the orc warriors discovered that they had to think The best way to survive is to reach the human position quickly. As long as you can do this alive, you can directly face the human warriors and will no longer be the target of human ballistas.

Therefore, despite the constant firing of human ballistas, the orcs ran faster and faster. Many fighters who were originally in the back row rushed to the front, which also caused the chief guards of the three orc clans to run faster and faster. , As a result, in order not to be overtaken by the supervising team behind, all the orcs ran desperately, and soon the first troops stepped onto the human front.

The hand-to-hand combat began, and the humans gave up the use of ballistas and replaced them with a simple square formation of infantry to resist the orcs' attacks.

The simple infantry phalanx of the human army, which usually has only three to five layers, is very effective against the orcs. It is difficult for the orcs to break through. They often get into a bitter battle in a local area, and then be affected by the humans. Superior forces encircle and wipe out.After a partial victory is achieved, the human army will slowly move the superior force under the command of the commander, continue to divide and encircle and annihilate more orc fighters, so as to maximize the vitality of killing the orcs.

However, this time the effects of human combat methods are not very ideal, because the orcs who attacked this time were different from the past. They stood still bravely, and became more indifferent to life and death, and there would often be severely injured orcs. Leaping high, using his body as a weapon to pounce on the sky above the human infantry phalanx, when the human pike warrior pierced the orc's body with a spear, the dying orc would grab the barrel of the gun desperately and it was extremely difficult to break free. come out.

The spear that has not been pierced out is a threat to the enemy, and the spear that is already in the body of an orc and cannot be drawn out is meaningless to other orcs.Due to the dedication of some severely wounded orc warriors, the order of the human phalanx was immediately disrupted. As the head of the spear pierced by the human pikemen was stuck in the body of the orc warrior, the barrel of the spear was exposed to the outside and became an orc warrior. The target.

Soon there will be strong orc warriors holding up the double-edged battle axe in their hands and slashing at the protruding spear.The tip of the human long gun is naturally made of steel, but the barrel is generally made of wood, otherwise the weight is too heavy, which is not conducive to long-term combat, but everything has advantages and disadvantages. This kind of wooden barrel with the thickness of human children’s arms can be used. It was light, but it was impossible to withstand the slashing of the orc double-edged battle axe.

In order to protect the weapons of the pikemen on their side, the sword and shield warriors in the front row of the human phalanx had to gritted their teeth and desperately blocked the double-edged battle axe.The quality of human shields is very good. Even this kind of double-edged battle axe with a face almost half the size of an adult man’s chest cannot completely damage it, but the beasts are heavy, and human swords and shield warriors can withstand the double-edged battle. The axe, but could not stop the huge attack power, was often spit out blood, stumbled and retreated.

In the short time when the human sword and shield warrior stumbled back and lost the ability to protect the comrades behind him, the orc spear-throwing warrior would seize this gap and throw the short spear in his hand with all his strength.At a distance of more than ten meters, this kind of spear can cause amazing effects, and it is not uncommon for a short spear to penetrate two people continuously.

With the effective cooperation of the orc warriors, the human phalanx faced an awkward situation.When attacking, the spear is easy to stab out, but difficult to retract. It is also easy to be cut off by the orcs, resulting in a sharp drop in the attack power of the entire phalanx. Without the stabs of these pikemen, the entire phalanx can only be passively beaten.

If they don’t attack, these human spear fighters can only sit and watch the sword and shield fighters in the front row fight alone, and once the sword and shield fighters in the front row get into a hard fight, they will be overwhelmed, unable to give the spear fighters in the back row the protection they deserve. As a result, the long spear soldiers in the back row were repeatedly killed under the spear thrown by the orcs.

Although this fighting method of fighting for life is not cost-effective for the orcs, as long as they can make breakthroughs at a few points, the orcs can severely hit human morale and then collapse the human defense line as much as possible.Once humans cannot form an effective phalanx for defense, then for this war it will become a one-sided slaughter performance by the orcs.

Finally, a human warrior with a spear in the front row was pierced by a spear with a spear, and blood was sprayed on him. He could no longer bear the fear of wandering between life and death. He suddenly dropped his hand. With his arms, he screamed while holding his head in both hands, turned and ran.

This action immediately triggered a chain reaction. The soldiers around the human pikemen were also affected by him. They dropped their weapons and ran to the rear. Then came the human soldiers who saw this scene nearby... when they were caught in the front row. The hard-fighting sword and shield warrior found that the comrades behind him abandoned him and ignored him. They also lost the will to fight and began to retreat.

When the first phalanx on the human front collapsed, a badly wounded orc raised the clan battle flag in his hand and rushed in through the hole after the collapse of the human phalanx. The battle flag of the Grey Wolf clan was raised high above the human position.

"Breakthrough?"

"Breakthrough!"

Although they are two identical thoughts, for human warriors and orc warriors, there are two completely different results. After realizing that they have broken through the human defense line and attacked the human position, the morale of the orc warriors is even higher. , The offensive has become more violent.Human warriors no longer have the will to fight, because once the position is broken, no matter how brave they are, it will be of no avail. If they don’t retreat quickly, they will definitely be divided and surrounded by superior orc forces. At that time, their personal combat power will be completely weak. Back to the days.

More and more human warriors have joined the ranks of the rout, and more and more orc warriors have stepped onto the human front. When the patriarchs of the orc stag, gray wolf and lynx clan came here with their guards , Just saw more than a thousand orcs encircling more than a dozen human warriors.
