Chapter 155:
Bloody fight!
The battlefield covered almost the entire land, and the shock of hundreds of thousands of people strangled together made everyone involved in it boil with blood.
The infantry attacked each other in groups, and beyond the crowd of strangled people were cavalrymen who were constantly whistling by, Terran knights, and Mordor wolf riders.
Kakar stood next to the battlefield, and less than twenty meters in front of him, there was this strangled Terran army, and it is not an exaggeration to say that Kakar himself was directly on the battlefield.
"Kill them!"
Kakar's impatience for days finally had a place to vent at this moment, and the remaining 40,000 Kakar troops attacked everything in front of them madly after receiving support, and this kind of rebound after the oppression was extreme, making them the most terrifying existence on the battlefield.
The battle began directly after Elbi suddenly appeared with people, Kakar, as the front-line commander, in order to show his attitude, stood directly on the front line, his tall figure told everyone all the time, who dares to retreat, who will die!
A group of peasant soldiers looked at the enemy in fear with the weapons in their hands, and a trolls roared at them with a huge mace, although there were more than twenty of them, they did not think that they were the opponents of this trolls, but they did not think of retreating.
Didn't the giants of the Black Hand Clan also say that they were gone under the impact of their foreheads, how could these short trolls be their opponents?
The peasant soldiers comforted themselves while moving forward cautiously, they stretched out their weapons as far as possible, wanting to attack the trolls from afar, but maybe it was the impatience of the trolls and others, and they definitely took the initiative to attack, he unexpectedly rushed up directly, raised the mace and swept it, and the ten people in front of it almost didn't have any reaction, and they were directly knocked away, and the body that instantly showed various irregular positions in the air seemed so soft.
Before the rest of the peasant soldiers could react, the mace swept back again, and the remaining ten people were also knocked away in the same way, and his mind may have stored the memories of their hometown, the expectant eyes of their families, and even the crooked dirt path in front of their house, but at this time, the only thing they could think of in their minds was the endless pain and the confusion of the clouds.
The remaining one or two lucky ones, crying in fear, their squad of more than twenty people, could not even hold on to the face of the troll, they collapsed, they turned and fled in fear and screams, but in the blink of an eye, they were knocked on the head by a hammer inlaid with a golden cross:
"The Lord says, 'You will have peace, and you will have the beauty of the world.'"
Five bald men with golden headbands appeared in front of the trolls, wearing heavy armor and white cloaks behind them, but the cloak was now stained a dazzling red by the blood donation.
"The glory of the Lord shall not be violated!"
The warrior carried a sledgehammer in both hands, his fingertips wrapped around the chain of the cross, and the golden cross was so dazzling every time he swung the sledgehammer in a frenzy.
Shouting at the contents of the Bible, the five monks spread out and charged towards the trolls, who roared and waved their maces, but were dodged, and only one of them rushed too fast and was knocked away
, The trolls seemed to be dissatisfied with their own killing, but for a moment, that trace of dissatisfaction turned into fear, because the figure that was knocked away fell to the ground and twitched a few times, and then rushed up quickly, leaving red blood pressure in those eyes, and the nostrils were also uncontrollable with red liquid, and his walking posture was very strange, it was obvious that he had broken bones, and this terrifying injury made the trolls afraid.
It's not that he's afraid that he's so powerful, but he's afraid that this human being can still get up and continue to fight after suffering such an injury, isn't he afraid of pain?
The troll's fear didn't last long, as the remaining four monks jumped in front of him with a sharp leap, and the four glittering sledgehammers struck all over the troll's body, especially the one that hit the head, making the troll instantly feel dizzy, and then fall to the ground uncontrollably.
The monks swung at their heads a few more times, and the trolls closed their eyes forever, a monk for a trolls, this exchange ratio is worth it!
This kind of battle took place almost all the time on the battlefield, with more than fifty peasant soldiers besieging seven or eight strong orcs, and six or seven garrison soldiers chasing and killing the fleeing orcs.
The wolf cavalry supported everywhere on the battlefield, the knights rushed in groups, the roaring hooves of horses and the roar of the wolves left everyone with no time to distract, the peasants besieged any enemy they thought they had fought, the garrison warriors fearlessly greeted any enemy, and the warriors, who were always present on the most brutal battlefields, defeated one after another with their fervent determination to defeat one enemy after another that seemed impossible to defeat.
"In the three directions of the east, transfer a hundred wolf horses, and give it to expand the rift of those fleeing peasants!"
"Let the retreating third team retreat and re-form the formation, and kill the leader of the team, and the vice captain will be on top. β
"Order the archers to cover the position of the original Fifth Squad, who should be happy to sacrifice their lives for the Maharaja. β
Kakar stood on the battlefield, not caring at all about the arrows that whistled in his ears from time to time, and constantly gave orders to the battlefield, and the heralds were sent out like flowing water, and they brought the situation everywhere like flowing water.
The same happened to Leebert, who was heavily armed with Lelouche, Richard, and Declan on a high platform so that the Terran soldiers around him could see him, while Libert was in charge of almost the entire battle:
"The peasants and soldiers who had been defeated in the western three directions were transferred back to the castle to rest, and the defense line was set back another hundred meters, and then five hundred-man troops were transferred out of the castle rest team. β
"Order the Fifth Knights of the Northern Territory to immediately launch an assault on the rear of the flank of the Great Formation, and beat the wolf riders over there back to me!"
"Tune in the two crossbowmen to set fire to the heavy trolls in front of the fire, forget it, transfer one to the right, and transfer the other to the right flank. β
Lelouch and the three stood behind Libert like mascots, Richard looked at the middle-aged knight's unsteady military command with satisfaction, and De Cress kept staring at Leebert's face, a look of dΓ©jΓ vu constantly appeared in his eyes.
The location of the three principals was in the outer area of the battlefield, and there were battles taking place nearby, but they were far less frequent than inside, and they were surrounded by elite soldiers and knights, who firmly protected the three lords behind them.
After giving the last order, Libert finally took a break, and immediately went up to Lelouch and said:
"Three adults, today's battle should be over next, but our defense line has retreated about two hundred meters, and with the fighting spirit of the soldiers, we can hold out for three days at most!"
Liebert's words did not make the three Lelouch dissatisfied, but relieved, and Declan said even more easily:
"But we only need one more day, the ramp on the outer wall will be cleared, and we can return to Fort Horn tomorrow night, and our mission will be completed!"
Lelouch also nodded slightly, Lelouch felt extremely incredible that the aristocratic coalition behind these Horn Fort could hold out for three days, these peasant soldiers who were originally almost zero in Leluxiu's eyes actually had such a strong side, they were really a soldier, and they would be a nest of bears, and after having a good lead, even the weakest soldiers could burst out with remarkable combat effectiveness.
The battlefield, as Libert said, slowly quieted down, the two sides of the fierce battle for a day slowly disengaged, and began to rest after maintaining a distance that both sides felt safe, and the overnight bloody battle was actually not a battle that a qualified commander would choose, for either side, there was no benefit to fighting overnight, and repairing the truth meant redeployment, and the loopholes and mistakes during the day could be made up and changed during the rest, and for the soldiers, they could also be kept in a better state.
After all, everyone was afraid of receiving reinforcements from the other side, and Libert was worried about the 50,000 reserves in Kakar's hands, and Kakar was worried about the centaur knights who might appear at any time, so he had no intention of fighting at night.
Bonfires, which burn wantonly on the wood, often break a piece of wood with the sound of crackling from time to time.
Lelouch frowned as he looked at the group of wounded and sick who walked past him, and they supported each other towards the Hornfort in the rear, for them, this decisive battle for the survival of the entire human race was over, and before their bodies recovered, the battle was bound to have a final result.
"Today's battle was fierce!"
Wang Zifeng also frowned and looked at everything in front of him, the continuous bonfires formed two camps, and the empty battlefield in the middle was constantly filled with painful wails, or one or two short and quick clashes broke out, which were the teams looking for their own wounded fighting.
This kind of battle between the same races may turn a blind eye, but in a battle between different races like Middle-earth, there will be no superfluous words when they meet, only slashing and killing.
"How many of us have lost their combat effectiveness today?"
"About 50,000 people!"
Lelouch was stunned when he heard this, and was deeply shocked by the terrifying casualty rate of this kind of field battle, although there was also a reason for the low combat effectiveness of the peasants and soldiers, but the casualty rate of 50,000 a day still made Leluxiu feel incredible, and now Lelouch is no longer a novice who doesn't understand anything on that earth.
At this time, Lelouch had already understood what kind of concept 50,000 people was, that is, standing together, you could not see the crowd on the side, but these people lost their lives or health in just one day, which made Lelouch feel the horror that can erupt when the cold weapon war meets the morale of the fight to the death.
Wang Zifeng was also shocked by such a huge casualty, although he had a huge amount of knowledge and powerful abilities, but in the end he was just a young man who had just been born, when he really witnessed the cruelty of the field battle, his expression became extremely serious, and even reverently spent a cross on his chest after the battle.
Eh, what does that say? The closer the moon is to God, the less they believe in God!
Therefore, Wang Zifeng can religiously draw a cross, which in itself is enough to show the cruelty of the battle.
But the brutal battle did not affect the fighting spirit of the soldiers, and the desire for the fragrance that was getting closer and closer to the rear.
Lelouch is responsible for supplying supplies to the battlefield, when the truckload of food is delivered, no matter how low the morale is, it can also inspire you back, especially for those peasant soldiers who have never eaten meat for most of their lives, the food in the past few days has already made them love Lelouch to their hearts, if they can eat like this every day, then they will absolutely support Leluxiu, whoever dares to oppose Lelouch, will smash his dog's head!
"It's eaten, it's eaten!"
A garrison logistician in leather armor held a soup spoon and shouted:
"Today, Lord Lelouch thanked everyone for their angry fighting, and specially asked each person to add a roast rabbit leg or chicken leg!"
Hearing the words of the logistics soldier, the crowd naturally cheered, and one of the peasant soldiers from the east asked:
"Your Excellency Logistics Officer, there are still three meat dishes today, is the broth enough?"
"That's not it! Miko-sama will never treat us bitterly haha!"
The logistics officer's words made the crowd laugh again, and although they had been eating for two or three days, they still asked before each meal, not because they didn't believe it, but because they didn't want to make themselves feel that they were dreaming.
Chopped bone broth, chunks of roasted meat, steamed pork slices, shredded potatoes!
Coupled with a bowl of white rice, this delicious and fragrant taste makes everyone's greedy tongue about to swallow, especially after a day of strenuous exercise, the hungry stomach can't resist such a temptation at all, people receive their own food and immediately begin to stuff it into their mouths, the full mouth of meat chewing is so satisfying.
Declan looked at the food in front of him, and then at the soldiers who were gobbling up the campfire outside the castle, and he kind of understood what Lelouch relied on to win the hearts and minds of the people, and it was impossible for people to be so desperate for Lelouch only by relying on propaganda and myths.
"Who can imagine that everyone eats such food! even the lowliest peasant soldiers! How rich is Lelouch after all!?"
De Cres, who was in charge of internal affairs, was extremely aware of these things, but looking at the food in the bowl at this time, De Cres couldn't imagine how Lelouch did this and how he guaranteed this food to every soldier.
"But~"
I don't know what came to mind, Declan suddenly laughed, these things are good, but soon...
