Chapter 291: The Battle of Hai Ruian (Part II)

The massive camel beast was covered with a huge drum made from the skins of the cooperative beasts, and two naked orcs struck it frantically with a huge drum hammer. Each blow of the dull drum seemed to shake the soul of a person and make the blood of all orcs boil.

With the sound of war drums, the earth shook with tens of thousands of hooves, and the rhinoceros cavalry rushed towards the human race with a terrifying momentum, shocking all human beings. The originally tightly organized circular battle formation also seemed to be slightly chaotic at this moment.

"Don't panic! Don't panic! Spearmen, crusaders, come to the front and hold me back! Little Rom shouted loudly in a hoarse voice, and he held his sword aloft and led the eight thousand crusaders to the front of the battle. As long as you can withstand the opponent's first impact, then you may be able to withstand the opponent's impact with a dense spear formation.

However, the speed of the opposing cavalry was too fast, and before the crusaders led by Röm Jr. could switch positions with the pikemen who had begun to disorganize in front of them, thousands of rhinoceros cavalry had already smashed into their battle formation like a sharp knife.

Without the cooperation of the battle array, even the most heroic crusaders could not stop one of the strongest cavalry on the continent with their flesh and blood, and the panicked pikemen not only failed to provide favorable assistance to the crusaders, but interfered with the crusaders' hard-fought battle formation because of their hasty retreat.

In just five minutes, the iron hooves of the Rhino Heavy Cavalry crushed all the insignificant resistance, and the entire human army was fleeing in panic, but they were already doomed to return to their homeland.

The orc wolf cavalry on both wings quickly outflanked them, and although the endurance of the wolves was not as good as that of horses, they were even better than ordinary war horses in a short distance. The wolf cavalry is a fast force, they are not only fierce, but also lightly equipped, fast, bloodthirsty, they form a pincer to surround the fleeing humans, the wolf cavalry mercilessly put the sharp teeth of the wolf and the war knife in the hand to the panicked humans.

Knowing that there was no escape, the humans regrouped, and they put up a heroic resistance, and little Rom cheered up and fought to the death, all his hopes were that the remaining Cameron could send troops out of the siege in time. At this moment, he has lost all his military exploits and the command of the Hairian Fortress, and his only hope is to be able to withdraw to the fortress alive.

Cameron had already organized a rescue force as fast as he could at the moment when the rhinoceros cavalry charged, but the orcs on the opposite side obviously did not give him this opportunity, but when they rushed out of the fortress, the orc commander Grad personally intercepted them with a team of infantry.

Grad rode his snow-colored wolves, but the warriors who followed him were taller than he rode the wolves. These three-meter-tall giants were covered in only a thin layer of animal skin, revealing their blue-brown granite-like muscles. Their faces resemble those of uncivilized apes, except for the scarlet reflection of blood in their inverted triangular eyes.

Their mouths were large, with two rows of sharp fangs visible when they were cracked, and the weapons they wielded were simpler, large sticks, some of which still had unremoved bark, but the bark and trunks were stained with a dark red that would not be removed—the blood that had dried up and been absorbed by the trunks.

And it was such a group of primitive, savage and rudimentary enemies that made Comeron's heart sink to the bottom completely. He finally believed Shen Hao's guess, these were the main combat arms of the Krulod infantry in front of him-ogres!

Gler was very pleased with the consternation of the humans on the other side, and he struck his tomahawk triumphantly, and the 10,000-headed ogre behind him let out a roar of excitement, and strode towards the reinforcements of Comeron.

"Fight!" Cameron drew the cross sword at his waist, he was old, and he had long lost the bravery of the past, but he was also surrounded by five thousand heroic crusader warriors, who were united in sword and shield, lined up in dense battle formations, and met the frenzy of the ogre onslaught.

However, at this moment, a crusader with dull armor strode out of the array, holding a metal round shield three times as thick as an ordinary crusader in one hand and a dark sword in the other, and rushed towards the enemy formation without hesitation.

The Crusaders were the elite infantry of Erathia, but that doesn't mean they could compete with ogres in their own combat. The strength of the Crusaders mainly comes from their cooperation with each other, as long as they do not fall too far behind in numbers, they can also compete with these strong ogres.

Unfortunately, the Crusaders, who originally had 15,000, 8,000 of them following Little Rohm were trapped in front of the enemy's cavalry brigade waiting for their rescue, and 2,000 Crusaders were left in the fortress to defend themselves. The crusaders in Comeron's hands were only 5,000 men, only half of the opposing ogre, and the rest could only be replaced by ordinary pikemen, which was undoubtedly trading human lives for time. But this is the only choice that is very helpless.

And at this critical time, there was actually a crusader who did not listen to his orders and rushed out alone to die. And Cameron also recognized it for the first time, this person was the crusader scout who had just joined his own army-Shen Hao.

Shen Hao moved quickly, and in a few breaths, he had already rushed to the front of the first ogre, and the big big guy roared excitedly, and the giant stick in his hand was rounded and smashed down with a bang.

Although the ogre uses a simple wooden stick, it comes from a giant tree called Gruno in the deepest part of the Esquel Mountains. Gruno grows very slowly, often taking thousands of years to mature, and the wood is unusually hard and dense, heavier and tougher than the same volume of steel. Only an ogre with extraordinary brute strength would find a way to break off their branches as weapons.

If it was used by an ogre, the wooden stick would be drawn head-on, and even the heavy armor of the Crusaders would not be able to withstand it. Whether it's Cameron or the rest of the Erathia warriors, the next moment, this idiot creature will be crushed by the giant rod in the ogre's hands, and then the corpse will be torn apart and eaten by the nearest few ogres.

Unfortunately, the result surprised everyone. Shen Hao barely stopped his forward pace, the round shield in his hand was raised, and he blocked the ogre's wooden stick so casually, without adopting the usual unloading skills of the crusaders, and blocked it in a daze.

The deafening sound of gold and iron clashing sounded immediately, and one of Shen Hao's feet stepped out of a crack on the ground under his feet, and what was incredible was that the ogre who swung hard was shocked back five steps, and the Gruno wooden stick in his hand was even more out of control and flew out of control, smashing into the face of another ogre passing by on one side.

At this time, Shen Hao jumped up with the power of the step just now, and the sword in the stone slashed through a black mang, and the ogre who was looking at him with a shocked gaze was slashing through a black mang.

A splash of blood splattered, and the ogre's ugly head rose into the sky, still with an incredible expression on his face. Perhaps he had not yet figured out when he died, why his companion would lose to a weak human in a head-to-head battle.

A sword slashed off the head of an ogre, Shen Hao immediately lowered his body, and the sword in the stone rolled away from the lower body of the group of ogres like a black dragon, and immediately there were four or five ogres who were unable to react with their severed legs, wailing and rolling to the ground, and the companions behind who had not yet figured out what was going on stepped on them and stepped on them without a brake, stepping on countless screams.

Shen Hao was just one person, and the small target couldn't attract the impact line composed of as many as 10,000 ogres, and more ogres had already crashed into the human battle array, and the elite troops on both sides finally began to fight head-on. However, Shen Hao's attack was not completely ineffective, at least the impact line of the ogre in front of him was obviously concave with a "round pit". After being slashed by him several of his companions in one go, he apparently succeeded in angering the dozens of ogres around him, and instead of continuing to rush forward, they formed an encirclement and encircled Shen Hao in it.

In an instant, more than a dozen Gruno wooden sticks smashed towards Shen Hao, even if it was an iron puppet made of magical metal in front of Bracada, it would be smashed into a real iron sheet in an instant.

It's a pity that they are not facing a sluggish iron puppet, but Shen Hao, who is infinitely powerful and skillful. This time Shen Hao didn't fight with them, he took advantage of his small body to rush left and right in a group of ogres, pointing east and west. The sword in the stone in his hand was obviously higher than the ogre's Grunor stick, and anyone who tried to block his sword would be easily cut into two pieces, and by the way, a part of his body would be swept away, or an arm, or a thigh, or a human head on their neck.

It took less than five minutes to break through the ogre's encirclement, but more ogres immediately surrounded it again. Shen Hao was not afraid, invincible with a sword and a shield, and he actually killed the entire ogre army alive, and he jumped and fell in front of Geler, who was sitting on top of the snow-colored wolf.

"Good! I didn't expect there to be a warrior like you among the human race! Very good!! Grad's eyes lit up, and he stretched out his hand to stop the soldiers who wanted to come closer, and a fierce battle intent jumped in his eyes. He rolled over and got off the wolf, although the wolf is also a very powerful combat support, but for Grad, only by being down-to-earth can he exert his strongest combat power. And the human in front of him already has the qualifications to let him go to the ground to fight.

"You...... Can't you remember anything? Shen Hao's eyes did not have the slightest battle intent, he looked at the young orc warrior in front of him with a complicated expression, hesitated for a moment, and called out a name, "Ling Jiancheng, wake up!" ”
