526 Sea of Fire
opened a new book "Synthetic Big Star" and asked book friends to give some collections, and recommendations! Can you give Ant a new book a little recommendation vote, Ant thank you!
Far away on the watchtower of the half-orc camp, the high priest Zhuo Tuo and the fox military advisor Hui Lan were already blue at this time.
They really didn't expect that these human soldiers could resist for so long?
It had been more than an hour since the battle began, and according to their previous experience, it had never been before before that a human army could support such a long time without collapsing under the full force of the orcs.
Another point is that the casualties brought to them by this human army, so far, the casualties they can see among the orcs have been three or four thousand.
And the dead and wounded were all tiger-headed people, lion people and leopard-headed people in the Half-Orc Alliance, such core elites.
In the end, even the invincible heavy infantry such as the Minotaur and the Pig-headed Man in their impression rushed up and were helpless against these human soldiers, which simply subverted their previous perception of the human army!
This is an army unlike any human army they have ever seen before, it is very tenacious and extremely lethal, even if it is converted to the combat power of the Half-Orc Alliance, it can be among the high-ranking nobles.
Thinking of this, the High Priest Zhuo Tuo and the Fox Commander Hui Lan couldn't help but change their faces, and the fear of being dominated by humans for thousands of years came back to their hearts again.
No, we can't let this human army escape, we must kill them all on the battlefield, and the backbone of the human race must be broken!
Fortunately, the hippopotamus and the rhinoceros man joined the battle group in time, and the two of them breathed a sigh of relief, and finally the real decisive force arrived on the battlefield.
Although these hippopotamus people, rhino people, look bulky, they are often on the battlefield and can play a decisive role.
Because their size is too huge! The advantage of physical fitness is really not an ordinary technical weapon, which can be smoothed out!
Xiao Feng, who had been standing in the center of the human phalanx in the distance, also noticed these giant orcs appearing on the battlefield at this time, and when he saw these guys, his face also changed.
These hippopotamus and rhinoceros people were completely different from the orc hoplites he had seen before.
Those leopard-headed people, lion people, and tiger-headed people are generally more than two meters tall, and the highest is three meters, and their height and weight are basically about twice that of normal humans.
The physical fitness of the bull-headed and pig-headed people is more vigorous, the height is basically more than three meters, and the weight is about three times that of humans.
But such an opponent is not invincible, when the human soldier has the right technical weapons in his hands, such as those three-edged bayonet spears, and his body is draped in extremely protective plate armor, and he is in a battle formation.
Then these orcs are not invincible!
But this rhinoceros and hippopotamus people are different, adult rhinos and hippopotamus people are more than five meters tall, and their weight is calculated in terms of tons, and one arm can be thicker than the waist of an adult human, and the strength is several times that of ordinary humans.
Wearing heavy armor on his body, the iron knives he carries in his hands are all three meters long, such a guy, even if the human has the right technical weapons in his hands, as long as there are no hot weapons, then when he encounters such a half-orc, it is basically the end of the game!
Not to mention the infantry phalanx, it was the stone bullets thrown by the catapult behind, these guys were not afraid of their rough skin and thick physical fitness.
Xiao Feng saw with his own eyes that a stone projectile the size of a watermelon flew in the air, and before it hit a hippopotamus, it was waved casually by this guy, as if it was swatting a fly, and it was slapped on the ground.
How much effort does that take?
And at present, the only two weapons in the hands of humans that can harm them are the fierce fire oil tank, and the big yellow crossbow!
However, the shooting density and accuracy of the rhubarb crossbow could not be guaranteed, and on the other hand, the fierce fire tank truck, although the firepower was still powerful, also received serious interference at this time.
Although the minotaurs and pig-headed men who rushed over before, as well as the lion people, leopard-headed people and other troops, were crumbling by the human phalanx.
But at this time, the reinforcements of rhinos and hippos greatly boosted the morale of the orc camp, especially when a large wave of centaurs, werewolf cavalry, and kobold archers followed.
These orcs may not be able to attack fortifications, but they still do a good job of roaming the battlefield and harassing human soldiers.
In particular, the centaur shooters continued to shoot the operators of the fierce fire tank one after another, so that the flame spray density and frequency of the fire tank were greatly reduced.
And at this time, the python longbowmen also followed, and these guys appeared on the frontal battlefield for the first time, and three hundred meters away, these longbowmen began to shoot their bows and draw arrows.
This time, instead of throwing a shot, they opted for a direct shot.
A rain of arrows flew in, and thanks to the shields used in front of the human phalanx, the outside was covered with a layer of iron, which provided the greatest protection for the phalanx.
But even so, a lot of shields were pierced, causing very serious damage to the spearmen in the phalanx behind.
The density of human firepower is rapidly decreasing, and by this time the hippos and rhinoceros people have already rushed up.
Those spears that were as dense as hedgehogs were nothing to them.
The spears of the infantry phalanx are basically about three meters five, and the long knives in their hands are also three meters long, so in terms of weapons, they are not inferior.
The second is that their strength is much greater than that of humans, and although they are iron knives, they have also cut off several human spearheads.
At the same time, the hippopotamus people are even more ferocious, and when they are in close combat, they basically do not use knives, and most of them are armed with maces.
The two-meter-long stick, covered with barbs, was even more impressive when it turned up, and the human infantry phalanx, under the triple blow of the hippopotamus and the rhinoceros man, plus the python longbowman, was finally a little stretched.
Seeing that those phalanxes had gradually begun to collapse, Xiao Feng couldn't help but sigh in his heart, these half-orcs were really difficult enough.
Different races have endowed these orcs with different beast characteristics, and also give them their own different battle modes and advantages, once these combat advantages are combined, these orcs become very difficult to deal with.
The human army in front of him is already very good, whether it is in terms of combat skills, courage, willpower, and tenacity, it can be regarded as elite.
Even in the era of cold weapons in the modern world, this army will be an invincible iron army.
But it's really hard for them to meet such a half-orc opponent.
Seeing that the casualties of the human army began to surge rapidly, and those large phalanxes were also struggling to support them, Xiao Feng turned around and ordered Kyle.
Kyle immediately handed over the herald to explain, and in a few moments the human camp was filled with drums and whistles.
The human infantry phalanx in front, hearing the sound of drums from behind, was in high spirits, and under the leadership of the junior officers, they began to reorganize their formation and slowly retreat back.
At this time, the orcs found that the human army had finally begun to retreat, and their morale was immediately boosted.
This is still the hardest battle they have ever fought since the war with humanity, and now that the human army has finally begun to retreat, it is very likely that it will collapse next.
Many experienced orc generals thought so, but when they saw the human army's rapid and orderly retreat, it made them feel a little embarrassed.
The scene of collapse they expected did not happen!
Then continue to put pressure on them, the hippopotamus and rhinoceros people at the front bite the tail of the human infantry phalanx, but helplessly after they approved the heavy armor, the speed is indeed a little slow, in order to ensure physical strength, they can't rush forward quickly.
And at this time, the task of biting the human infantry is handed over to those maneuverable centaur archers, werewolf cavalry, and fast kobolds.
These light cavalry followed behind the human infantry phalanx, taking turns to attack the human phalanx, but after several attempts, they paid a lot of casualties, but it did not have a good effect.
They found that these infantry phalanxes were not too chaotic when they retreated, but were very orderly.
Seeing that the battlefield was stretched and widened, and a steady stream of orcs poured into the battlefield behind the barbed wire barrier, Xiao Feng said to Kyle: "It's time!"
At this moment, Kyle turned around and waved his hand downward, and the human soldiers on the wall in the distance behind them and in front of the wall received the signal.
Immediately a short whistle sounded, and at this time, on the wall of Mount Napal, and in front of the rows of large catapults in front of the wall, several strong men slammed down the trigger with a rotating hammer.
The counterweight was lowered quickly, and the net pocket of the trebuchet was soon lifted up with the swing arm, and the oil cans with lead wires inserted in the net pocket flew up one by one...
Although it was broad daylight, in the distance, the high priest Zhuo Tuo, who was looking at the tower in the orc camp, and the fox military master Huilan, could still clearly see that from the walls of Napal Mountain City, a series of 'shooting stars' with fire flew out...
After these meteors streaked across the sky, they quickly smashed into the orc legions that were constantly breaking through the barbed wire barrier.
Those orcs who had just drilled through the barbed wire fence were originally lining up one by one, spreading out their formation, and pushing in the direction of Napal Mountain City!
Unexpectedly, the meteor shower that came in the sky became their ultimate nightmare!
When those 'pops' fell to the ground, sparks immediately flew everywhere, and the soldiers around them, as soon as they got a little spark, quickly turned back into humanoid torches.
The covering indiscriminate bombardment quickly turned the vicinity of the barrier into a sea of fire, and the army of orcs who were about to cross the barrier immediately stopped, and then began to retreat.
