Chapter 195: Temptation
"Rush over!" An orc general led by him directly ordered the charge when he saw a large number of archers on the bank, they had expected it before the battle, and at this time they could only continue to rush with their shields, the army on the other side of the river seemed to be short of manpower, as long as he rushed over, he was confident that the army in front of him would be defeated first.
"Archer, three rounds of shooting!" "Archer, three rounds of shooting!" By the White Water River, looking at the orcs who rushed up, a flash of excitement flashed in the eyes of the half-elf captain Ron, and with an order, all the archers quickly lined up in three rows, the first row shot out the arrows in their hands and then quickly withdrew, followed by the second row, the third row shot out in turn, and then the first row that was prepared again shot again.
Compared with the human army, which is accustomed to using archers to cover shooting, it does not require accuracy, and emphasizes more coverage. The archers of Zhenbei City are more accurate, and the existence of a large number of half-elf archers makes the archers of Zhenbei City highly accurate and terrifying, especially this kind of three-stage shooting.
The elven warbow and the centaur longbow have a long range and are extremely powerful, and the channel of the Baishui River is less than a hundred meters wide, so at such a close distance, the arrow cluster can easily penetrate the wooden shields made by those orcs, and then continue to shoot through their bodies.
The orc army continued to fall with the continuous rain of arrows, and many of them fell directly into the water near the river, and soon the river was dyed red. The orcs also began to fight back, and the orcs continued to pick up bows and arrows to shoot at the army in Zhenbei City, but because they stood on the raft and had an unstable foothold, the strength and accuracy of the bow and arrow were greatly reduced.
And these orcs who shot with bows and arrows soon became the priority targets of the archers, and after a while, they were shot into hedgehogs by the arrows. On a large number of wooden rafts, there were constantly orcs falling into the water, but these orcs were still surging towards this side with an indomitable momentum under the leadership of the orc generals.
The continuous rain of arrows was like an invisible blockade, and the orcs were fearless to crash head-on into the impenetrable death blockade. The tide of orc troops rushed into the blockade line without fear of death, and in an instant, blood-red waves bloomed, and cold arrows fell from the sky, piercing the bodies of the rushing orcs.
The wooden shield has completely lost its defensive effect, whether it is a centaur longbow or an elven warbow, it can be easily shot through, and even if you are wearing iron armor, the arrow cluster can shoot through the gap. Blood splattered everywhere, red blood stained the surface of the river, and life was like grass mustard being harvested at this moment.
After paying huge casualties, the orcs finally rushed to a distance of twenty meters from the shore, these orcs jumped, crossed five or six meters of the river and fell into the water, and continued to swim towards the shore, at this time the river has become waist-high, a distance of more than ten meters only needs one breath on land, but in the water, their speed is greatly limited.
Many orcs will be shot to death if they don't even rush to the shore, and the orcs behind them begin to throw throwing spears, not falling a distance of thirty meters, although their feet are unstable, but they still have great lethality. The longbowmen retreated, and the elite pikemen, who had been waiting for a long time on the side, quickly stepped forward.
The orc who had just come ashore rushed up angrily, and the sharp blade in his hand slashed at the pikeman's shield, and the iron-clad wooden shield was cut out of a deep mark, so that the human soldier who surprised him only took half a step back to stabilize his body, and the spear in his hand burst out like a poisonous snake in an instant.
The orc warrior didn't have time to dodge at all, and the spear instantly pierced through the leather armor and pierced into the abdomen. There are not so complex changes on the battlefield, and it is usually a one-hit killing, and life and death are often at the moment of contact.
When pikemen usually train, they only have one way to attack, and that is stinging, and over the years, they have perfected this skill. The orc only felt a sharp pain in his abdomen, and then his body involuntarily took two steps back, and blood continued to gush out from the wound. But before he could react, a spear next to him instantly pierced its throat.
At this time, on the banks of the Baishui River, the elite pikemen armed with shields and spears had formed a three-person battle team, constantly fighting the orcs who rushed to the shore, and these orcs were horrified to find that in their impression, those emaciated and malnourished humans were not killed like chopping melons and vegetables, but the orcs were defeated under their attack.
Relying on the superiority of equipment, these human soldiers quickly harvested the lives of orc warriors with the cooperation of each other, even if a few orcs fought desperately regardless of it, they were only seriously injured opponents, and they wanted to go further, but they were killed by the warriors next to them.
Originally, there were not many orc soldiers who rushed to the shore, and after a while, most of them were killed and wounded, and the orc commander standing on the opposite bank saw this situation, and did not continue to attack, after a few roars, those orc rafts began to retreat, and after seeing the movement of the orcs, Su Lun waved his hand lightly, and those longbowmen began to shoot.
Projectile was the farthest way to shoot arrows, and now the entire river became the area of the bow and arrows, and those orc soldiers who did not have time to go ashore were killed by the arrows that fell from the sky.
The orc soldiers on the shore have no new force, the back road has been broken, and the orc warriors who know that they are already going to die are frantically counterattacking the human soldiers, seeing this situation, they don't want to form a shield wall with the elite pikemen who are desperate for the orcs, and then several parties surround and strangle these orcs one by one.
Soon the battle on the river was over, and the orcs on the river finally retreated to the shore after paying a heavy price. Only the corpses of orcs on the banks of the river and the rafts drifting on the river told of the terrible battle just now.
After the initial tentative battle, this group of orcs has put away their contempt, although the number of these humans in front of them is not large, but with the help of the geographical advantage, it is not easy for the orc army to cross the river.
"Let's go back. The orcs on the other side of the river took a deep look at Suren and led the orcs back to the camp.
"Ding, congratulations to the host, under your command, the army of Zhenbei City has won a great victory. ”
"At the end of the battle, you have gained 8,360 experience points. ”
"Win the battle, you get a Golden Chest, you get tungsten bar*2"
Su Lun first went to treat the wounded and sick with physical healing techniques, and unfortunately died and collected the corpses, leaving some people to clean up the battlefield and monitor the orc army on the opposite side, and Su Lun returned to the camp with the others.
Open the strategic map, after leaving the territory, the field of vision of the strategic map is centered on Sulun, an area of twenty kilometers in radius, and the most conspicuous thing on the map is the large red point of light on the other side of the Baishui River.
The centaur team is not close to here, and Suren only sees a few yellow highlights representing allies in the edge of the map, according to the agreement between the two sides, the centaur team will suddenly kill during the decisive battle and launch an attack on the orc army, which now needs to be hidden.
With a strategic map, the battlefield can be said to be completely transparent to Suren, and every move of those orcs is under his surveillance.
In addition to the orc army in front of him, Suren also found that in the forest near them, the orcs also hid a team, and judging by its size, the number was about two thousand. Obviously, the orcs did not reveal their full strength.
After keeping the system in a state of alert, Suren opened the storage space to check the harvest this time.
In this battle, there were two dead and wounded in Zhenbeicheng, one was directly pierced through the heart by a spear, and the other was cut off by an orc, but the orc was also pierced through the heart, and there were more than a dozen people seriously injured. There were more than thirty minor wounds, and about three hundred orcs were killed, most of whom were shot by archers.
The experience points are not enough to level up, so Suren opens the treasure chest in the storage space.
A flash of inspiration flashed, and the system's prompt sounded in my ears.
"Congratulations to the host, you have gained the talent [Iron Bone]"
[Iron Bone: After brutal training, your ability to resist blows has been improved, and all attacks will reduce the damage effect by 10% when they cause damage to you, and ordinary weapons will not work against you. 】
The iron bone talent is still very good, it can reduce damage, and with this talent, Su Lun's defense has been improved again, and ordinary attacks are no longer effective against him.
After moving his body, Su Lun took out the tungsten steel he had just obtained, this kind of steel ingot was cold to the hand, the weight was not heavy, the color was close to silver white, and there were many naturally formed lines on it, this thing is a relatively high-end material in the game, and it can increase its attributes when worn on the body.
[Tungsten steel: A metal with magical power, a high-grade forging material, it can increase 3 points of spirit after wearing it (the effect disappears after the mental power exceeds 30), and obtains the effect of returning to magic, restoring one percent of the energy value per minute. 】
This thing is definitely a good thing for mages, not only to increase mental power but also to restore energy, you must know that there is no magic net in this world, and if you want to cast spells completely rely on your own magic power, it is very difficult to become a mage.
Therefore, recovering mana is a very key issue, although this tungsten steel recovers one percent of the energy per minute, although it is not much, but it only takes one and a half hours to recover ninety percent of the energy.
Two tungsten steel Suren brought one for himself, and the other he was going to give to Hathaway, as the only mage in the realm, this thing worked best for her.
Putting things away, Suren went to Hathaway's tent and handed her one of the tungsten steels.
"What kind of metal is this, I feel that my mental power has increased a lot all of a sudden, and the recovery of mana has also accelerated. Feeling the benefits of tungsten steel, Hathaway asked in surprise.
"This is tungsten steel, a high-grade metal material, and this piece is for you. Su Lun smiled and said, "Of course, you can also try to study the material of this metal, and then try to see if you can make magic equipment." ”
"I'll try my best, I've never seen this kind of metal, and I'm not completely sure I won't move it easily. Hathaway looked at the tungsten steel in her hand with shiny eyes.
