Section 30 Crewe Leads Offensive and Defensive Battles (6)
The vast farmland and pastures near the famous Sancha River in the central region of the Jamici savannah have been reduced to rubble under the haze of war.
Now, this beautiful prairie has directly turned into a battlefield, the smoke of cooking before meals has turned into wolf smoke that is now everywhere, and the cries of herdsmen and farmers have become shouts of killing that shatter the sky.
At eight o'clock in the morning on September 19,
More than 10,000 men of the vanguard army of the 9th and 10th legions led by Kru marched in orderly steps, slowly advancing amid the sound of loud military trumpets and commands.
The banks of the Tricha River, which have been silent for countless days and nights, ushered in its historical moment at this moment!
As far as the eye can see, there are countless battle flags, spears like forests, dazzling armor, and rows of towering siege towers and catapults.
The huge and majestic march made the solid earth tremble!
Nine a.m.,
The vanguard of the 9th and 10th Corps of Crewe, under the personal command of the front-line commander, Sir Bowenlight, arrived at the designated position and completed the formation.
Looking at the horizon in the distance from the wooden wall of the 10th Banner Regimental Camp of the Orcs, I saw that the horizon of nearly a kilometer long was full of soldiers wearing Crewe collar armor, black and pressing.
Half past nine in the morning,
As Sir Bevenlet's order was delivered, the catapults assembled in the center of the formation took the lead in attacking with the sound of iron gears turning in a series of 'clicks'.
In an instant, hot rolling stones with fire oil rose from the Imperial army's formation, and they roared and sprinted like meteorites from the sky, carrying a long thick smoke and smashing into the vicinity of the wooden wall of the orc camp.
"Boom"
"Boom"
The Rolling Stone collided with the earthen wall that had risen from the ground after the orcs had cast spells in the orc defense zone, making a dull loud noise, and then exploding along with the earthen wall.
"Advance!"
At the front of the Imperial formation, the commanders in front of the formation, who received the order to attack, immediately shouted at the top of their voices as soon as the first round of rolling stones fell from the catapult, while rhythmically waving the command swords in their hands.
Suddenly, the Empire's army was awakened like a pool of stagnant water, and the continuous army began to advance like waves towards the walls of the camp of the Orc Tenth Banner Regiment.
Ten minutes later,
When the Imperial soldiers stepped into the range of the orc catapult, the orc catapult immediately counterattacked, and the huge rolling stones intertwined in the sky made the Imperial soldiers marching below them feel as if they were in a legendary apocalypse!
"Don't panic!"
"Keep going! Keep going!"
The officers ignored the rolling stones, and they rode like warhorses shouting as they moved back and forth around the columns!
"Boom"
"Boom"
The Rolling Stones didn't hit the Imperial soldiers, as they were kept out by the huge magic shield cast by the magician.
As early as more than a hundred years ago, the strength and focus of the Rolling Stone's attack were thoroughly studied by the magicians of the Empire, and on the battlefield at this moment, thanks to the generosity of the Reagan family, the magicians with a large amount of purple gold powder activated the magic scroll they prepared in advance the moment the Rolling Stone fell.
As a result, the rolling stones thrown by the orc catapults were the equivalent of a wonderful fireworks display before the war for the Imperial soldiers.
"We're bathed in fire, haha!" the soldiers couldn't help but shout excitedly.
...
Half an hour later,
The Imperial Vanguard and the Orc Tenth Banner Soldiers engage in hand-to-hand combat in the wooded wall area.
The real battle began ...
At this moment, the headquarters of Earl, on the western tributary of the Sancha River, began to advance under the orders of Pedi, and their task was to contain the human rebels on the flank of the Tenth Banner Regiment.
At the same time, the headquarters of the Earl of Bane led by Herion also began to move, and their target was naturally the 15th Banner Regiment of the Orcs in the east of Byan City, which had been predetermined by the High Command Post.
In just five minutes, the vicinity of the Sancha River was filled with the movement of large armies, and from a distance, it was as shocking as if the river was beginning to flow back to the shore!
...
Orc Chinese Army Battalion,
The command post of the Morinda Overseer had been transferred to the watchtower at the highest point of Lake Garmic before the battle, and when the information of the legions of the Crewe army appeared in the hands of the old Overseer, the old man, who had always seemed calm, couldn't help but change his face.
"The opponent has a good understanding of our situation," the chief of staff of Donmu clenched his somewhat stiff fist, "Do you want to send the Eleventh Banner Regiment to block this force?" he said and pointed to the headquarters of the Earl of Bane marked on the map, "Intelligence shows that this force only has more than 10,000 men, and with the strength of the Eleventh Banner Regiment, it is fully capable of intercepting him in the Jamich grassland." ”
"Ahem" The old Overseer coughed twice, the flush on his face flashed, and he took a breath and said, "I've been avoiding our main army from going head-to-head with the main force of Crewe, you should know the reason, right?"
"Of course, but the question now is, we have to make a choice, otherwise, the Fifteenth Banner Regiment is in danger of being flanked at any time?" Don Mu frowned slightly, "Besides, we have less than a thousand defenders in Byan City, and if their target is Byan City, it will be very dangerous for us." ”
The old Overseer tugged at his cloak and said, "So, it's time for our goblin allies to do something, tell Bivicrow what we're doing here, and have his army move towards Lake Garmic, and if he doesn't agree, cut off the supply of his troops." ”
As he said this, the old Overseer of Morinda stood up from his seat with his body propped up, picked up his goggles and observed the battle in the camp of the Tenth Banner Regiment in the distance, "However, you're right, we can't let that Imperial army move smoothly to the vicinity of Byan City... So, send our wolf cavalry to stop the Imperial army moving in the direction of Byan City, remember, this is a blocking battle, only you can understand what I mean, I need you to personally command this blocking battle. ”
Dun Mu was stunned for a moment and said, "It's my honor, but you..."
"Don't worry, I'm not old enough yet. Morinda saw what Donmu meant, and after a second of muttering, he exhorted his chief of staff, "Remember, there is no need to fight, try to avoid... Our expeditionary force has already accomplished its mission, but if we want to win a big victory or keep these lads alive, we have to be cautious. ”
...
The battle between the Orc Tenth Banner Regiment and the Imperial Army in the Wooden Wall area was not as fierce as expected, mainly because the Orcs tried their best to avoid unnecessary battles.
Before dark, the two sides left behind more than 2,000 corpses before the fighting.
On the other side, the battle between Earl Jack's command and the human rebels was extremely fierce, and the total number of casualties on both sides reached more than 4,000 in just half a day's battle...
To this end, Pedy personally rushed to the camp of Earl Jack that evening to reprimand his officers for their inaction, and at the same time encouraged and commended the soldiers who fought valiantly that day.
The next day, the battle continued, but as a result, it failed to make a difference in the camp of the 10th Banner Regiment of the Orcs.
However, today's result is very surprising, and it is the opposite of yesterday...
The total casualties on both sides of the Orc Tenth Banner Regiment's camp rose to more than 6,000, while the total casualties of Earl Jackiff and the rebels after a full day of fighting were less than 1,000!
In the northwest of the Garmici Prairie, the Earl of Bane and the orc wolf cavalry did not move today, and the two sides had a hill as the boundary, and they had been facing each other since yesterday's encounter, and the largest battle was only a battle between patrols of less than twenty people on both sides.
On the third day of the battle, on September 21, the main force of the goblins in the Covinde area finally moved, and they had to start retreating after the attack of the Eleventh Regiment led by Kru in the Efunk Heights became more and more intense, and the supply lines of the Garmich steppe were cut off.
