51 shots
The human cavalry charged in a chaotic swarm, and there was no tactic at all, but the tall horses of the divine horses carried the armored cavalry, and the weight alone was about one and a half tons.
The speed of about thirty yards, combined with the mass of one and a half tons, slammed into the three lines of skirmishers improvised by the orcs, like a flood breaking through a thin embankment.
Xiao Feng had never experienced the ancient battlefield, but he still felt a little terrifying when he saw the momentum of these cavalry charges, thinking that if he stood in that straggler line, he would probably have turned around and fled a long time ago.
The orcs do not have thousands of years of war experience in the human world, although Xiao Feng has not been on the ancient battlefield, but many years of TV series and historical military literature have also made him know that the best way to face such a cavalry charge in the era of cold weapons is to form a spearman formation.
When facing the spears of the forest, even the tall war horses will instinctively choose to avoid, the speed will slow down, or turn in front of the formation, once the cavalry rushing into battle can not guarantee the speed, then the cavalry that slows down, in front of the spearmen, is the target to be killed.
And the half-orcs in this world showed Xiao Feng another way of fighting, which opened Xiao Feng's eyes and understood what it means to be fearless of death.
Xiao Feng has also read a lot of historical books describing ancient war scenes before, which have mentioned what will happen if the infantry battle formation is chiseled through by the enemy cavalry, if there is no support behind, with the infantry quality of that era, the battle formation will basically collapse.
And these orcs in front of them, after the three skirmish lines were chiseled, not only did not appear to panic and collapse, but they all screamed and rushed madly towards the gap is, and the hammer in their hands flew out like rain.
Obviously, the cavalry's cavalry spear has pierced a hole, but he dragged the spear fiercely and did not let go, if the cavalry did not let go, he would be directly dragged off the horse by these orcs.
Some even screamed and stepped on the corpses in front of them, jumped and flew to knock the cavalry off their horses, even if they were trampled into blood gourds by the war horses behind, they were just as reckless.
These orcs fought in a completely beastly instinct, regardless of the cost of their lives, and soon the gap in the battle line that had just been broken away was re-blocked by the rapidly piling up corpses, causing the human cavalry to be cut into two parts.
At this moment, the brutal fighting method of the half-orcs really shocked Xiao Feng speechless, this is not afraid of death! At this moment, Xiao Feng finally realized the experience summed up by his predecessors, the more barbaric civilization is, the more indifferent to life!
The half-orc's way of fighting reminded Xiao Feng of a history in his world more than three hundred years ago, full of people less than 10,000, and 10,000 invincible! When the Manchu people were through such a barbaric way of fighting, they forcibly interrupted the backbone of the Ming army, and even frightened the courage of the Ming army, and the Jurchen warriors captured by Nurhachi from between the white mountains and black waters, just like these half-orcs in front of them, have not been influenced by civilization, and live a life of drinking blood, it is such a simple primitive life, so that when they face the enemy, they can often be distracted, not afraid of death, and burst out with the strongest combat effectiveness.
And after the momentum of the human cavalry charge was interrupted by the waist, the morale of the human race quickly fell.
The human cavalry that was cut off behind, because they had cut off contact with the front team, chose to turn around and run away at this time, and the repeated defeats, coupled with the last charge, had exhausted the last courage of these human knights.
The half-orcs' fearless combat methods and strong physical fitness have seriously dampened the morale of human knights, and morale is one of the most important combat qualities in the era of cold weapons.
The leader in front was no longer in touch, and the rapidly rising number of casualties, and the half-orc soldiers who went forward and followed each other, all evoked the painful memories of their defeat in the face of the half-orcs not long ago.
About more than thirty cavalrymen turned around and fled, rushing madly towards the pass, looking at the direction of their escape, Xiao Feng couldn't help but scold, these bastards are helping them to cause disaster.
The two elves had suggested to him before that this time it was best for them to stay out of the matter and not get involved, after all, there were quite a few half-orcs coming this time, and they were only a team of more than thirty people, and their numbers and fighting qualities were not the opponents of the half-orcs.
Although Xiao Feng didn't make a decision immediately, he also wanted to wait and see what happened, and now these more than thirty human cavalry actually fled to their side, which inadvertently played a role in causing trouble, and when the orcs finished cleaning up the cavalry behind them, they were chasing and killing, and then their camp would not be able to hide at all, and nine times out of ten they would be exposed to the blades of the half-orcs, and it seemed that they wanted to stay out of the matter.
These thirty or so routs quickly overtook several carriages in front, and even because of panic, a cavalryman actually directly knocked over the carriage with a carriage in front, the carriage overturned on its side, and there was a scream in the carriage, and then several panicked women crawled out of the carriage.
Several women were dressed in clothes similar to those of medieval European women on Earth, with robes and capes, but the one among them was clearly their backbone, this woman was tall, wearing a suit of chain mail, no helmet on her head, and long blond hair, which was unusually visible on a snow-white snowfield.
"Duchess Duquedi?"
The female elf Birodis exclaimed, the elves were originally eyesighted, and the overturned carriage at this time was a distance of one hundred and ten meters from them, so the female elf immediately recognized the tall beauty who was surrounded by several women in the middle.
"You know her?"
Xiao Feng looked at the female elf in surprise and asked, the female elf nodded with a heavy face: "Well, I am very familiar with her, master, let's go and save her." ”
At this time, the orcs in the distance have been divided into two teams, the rear team is encircling and suppressing the cavalry that has just broken through their line, and the front team is pursuing towards the side of the horse convoy, it seems that they are not going to let go of one today, if Xiao Feng and they don't make a move, it is estimated that none of these humans will want to run away today.
The Duchess Dukedi also noticed the orc soldier chasing after her, she actually pulled a long sword from her waist, and then shouted something at the horse convoy around her.
The soldiers on the carriage jumped out of the carriage and gathered beside her with weapons, as if they knew that they could not escape, and were ready to fight to the death, and even some cavalrymen who had just passed by them also turned around and joined them, and it seemed that the appeal of the duchess was quite good.
Xiao Feng waved his hand, and rushed down from the mountain with a team of more than thirty people, taking advantage of these human soldiers, and the courage to fight to the death, he planned to help them, if they were all killed by the orcs, Xiao Feng and the hunting team would have to face those orcs alone.
Although these human soldiers are not very effective in combat, they can still act as meat shields and cannon fodder, so Xiao Feng decided to make a move.
Kayla Dukadi clenched the sword in her hand, shouted to the wounded soldiers, and lined up in front, she knew that she might not be spared today, but she would rather die here than fall into the hands of the orcs and become a slave girl they played, even if the family's blood is cut off, she must maintain the last pride of the family.
About thirty orcs rushed towards them, the distance was getting closer and closer, she could already see the hideous expressions on the faces of those half-orc soldiers, as well as the white breath exhaled from their mouths, and she could smell the fishy smell emanating from those half-orcs for more than ten meters, these disgusting guys, even if they died here today, they couldn't let them get themselves, she clenched the long sword in her hand.
At that moment, the sound of arrows breaking through the air suddenly sounded in her ears, and then a rain of arrows flew over their heads, slamming into the chests of the orc soldiers who rushed to the front, knocking the half-orcs who rushed to the front to the ground on the spot.
Where did the archers come from, she remembered that the last fifty archers she had led had all died in the Algari Pass, and she turned her head to look behind her.
I don't know when there were more than 30 natives wearing cowhide behind their circle array, and what surprised her even more was that the female elf standing in front of those natives who was constantly firing their bows and arrows looked so familiar? Suddenly, a shock shook her mind, it was not her childhood playmate female elf Birodis!
Kayla Duqedi spent her childhood in her mother's home of the Meren family of the Cartry Empire, which is located in the northwestern part of the Cartry Empire on the continent of St. Sodis, bordering the Uncharted Forest.
Energetic and curious as a child, she often went to the edge of the secret forest to play, where she met the elven tribe of Birodis, and they became good friends and grew up playing together, until she was later taken back by her father to the territory of the Ducadius family in the Toulon Empire on the continent of Mesodis.
I really didn't expect that my childhood playmate would appear here and save her life, but soon her eyes were attracted by the figure of a man standing in front of Birodis.
The man was tall, dressed in strange clothes, and held a crossbow in his hand, but his crossbow seemed to be much stronger than the simple wooden crossbows she had seen before, black and black I don't know what material it was made of, and the most terrible thing was that this man, as if he had it at his fingertips, kept shooting crossbows, that skillful technique, and crazy firepower output stunned Dukedi Duchess. . .
