Two teams of iron gunners deployed behind the Spartan heavy infantry and royal pikemen fired a salvo every five seconds, and the volley of eighty iron gunners was nothing to the huge orc army, but it was terrifying to the orc warriors who charged ahead.

Humans are always afraid of the unknown, and so are orcs, and ranged attacks such as magicians and archers are the way orcs are accustomed to them, and artillery gunners are unheard of and unseen.

With just a crackling sound, a group of brave and fearless orc warriors suddenly fell, and even the wounds were extremely secret, and this special attack method invisibly dealt a heavy blow to the originally high morale of the orc warriors.

A salvo of five seconds can fire twelve salves in a minute, which is 960 rounds, and the iron gunners can shoot an orc warrior for an average of every five rounds, and about 200 orc warriors will be shot in a minute.

The spear defense line formed by three teams of Spartan heavy infantry could not be broken through by the brainless charge of orc warriors, and the first row of Spartan heavy infantry with a small round shield in their left hand connected their round shields to form a round shield wall.

Standing on the wall of the round shield was the super-long spear they held in their right hand, and the super-long spears of the four rows of Spartan heavy infantry in front and behind were completely impenetrable in the forest, no matter how the orc warriors rushed, they were as solid as a rock.

The spear phalanx of the Spartan heavy infantry has never been a rigid defensive battle formation, and the Spartan heavy infantry, who is fierce and belligerent by nature, is not a mediocre soldier who is willing to defend, and the active attack is the posture that the Spartan heavy infantry should have!

The Orc attacks were not always fierce, they also had their own fixed frequency of charges, and the Orc warriors who flocked to the Spartan heavy infantry spear line like a tide would only have a strong attack in about five minutes on average.

At other times, the attacks of the orc warriors were preceded by the onslaught, and Cabitus quickly controlled the frequency of the attacks of the orc army and took corresponding measures to deal with the attack of the orc army.

Seeing that the orc warriors in front of him were gathering again, Cabitus sneered slightly and ordered, "Close!"

With the order of Cabitus, the three teams of Spartan heavy infantry who were waiting for the battle slowly shrank their right hands holding the super-long spear back by an elbow on the premise of maintaining the same position, and the entire spear defense line instantly straightened up like a bow and arrow.

The rigid orc warriors were still using their natural frequency to attack the spear defense line constructed by the Spartan heavy infantry, and the immovable Spartan heavy infantry only defended against the orc attack with a phalanx of shrunken spears without receiving further orders.

Even the shrunken spear phalanx was not something that the orc warriors could break through for a while, and the orc warriors shouting the charge slogan were densely crowded in front of the spear phalanx, desperately brandishing the swords in their hands.

"Thorn!"

As soon as a powerful roar came out of Capitus' throat, the calm Spartan hoplites stabbed their shrunken spears forward with all their might, and the orc warriors crowded in front were killed and wounded in an instant.

"Close!"

"Thorn!"

The fast-paced command brought about the rapid and powerful continuous thrusts of the Spartan heavy infantry, and the orc warriors who were still alive one moment were stabbed into blood gourds by sharp spears under the thrust of the Spartan heavy infantry in the next second.

At the same time, the crackling volleys of the iron gunners never stopped, and the double blow of the spear phalanx and the iron cannon salvo not only stopped the attack of the orc army, but also made the orc army pay a very heavy price for their attack.

The orc warriors attacking the spear line suffered heavy casualties, and the orc warriors attacking the two flanks of the passage were not much better, and a salvo of five teams of iron artillery gunners could kill nearly a hundred orc warriors, which was a new boost for the Seventh Wing and the Assault Wing.

The 7th Wing on the left side of the defensive passage and the assault wing on the right side of the defensive passage were each assisted by five teams of iron gunners, while the iron gunners who did not use the three-stage attack tactic could only fire a maximum of five salvos per minute, but they could shoot about 500 orcs.

This also means that the twelve teams of iron artillery spearmen under Bai Feng's command can shoot nearly 1,200 orc warriors every minute, and their numerical superiority in front of the iron artillery spearmen is also their fatal flaw when the overly dense orc army is too dense.

If the Imperial Legions, which advance and retreat well and cooperate tacitly, were in an offensive position, it would not be easy for the twelve teams of iron artillery gunners to shoot and kill 200 Imperial soldiers every minute, but the attack of the orcs was destined to be bloodied under the guns of the iron gunners.

Whether it's the powerful Spartan hoplites and royal pikemen, or the powerful ironclad cavalry and companion cavalry, these top classes of the Roman city system are difficult to effectively suppress the fierce and powerful orc warriors.

On the contrary, the iron cannon gunners in the shogunate hall system turned out to be a powerful weapon that could suppress the orcs, and even Bai Feng, who personally designated this battle plan, did not expect that the iron cannon gunners in the field could play such a huge role.

In fact, Bai Feng's greatest expectation for the Iron Gunners was to relieve the frontal defensive pressure of the Spartan heavy infantry, and if he had known that the Iron Gunners had the strength to suppress the orc warriors, then he would have broken through with all the Iron Gunners, not some of the Iron Gunners in front of him.

Of course, it is impossible to form an effective suppression of the orc warriors by relying on the iron artillery gunners alone, and the solid defense line built by the Spartan heavy infantry, the seventh wing, and the assault wing in front of the iron artillery gunners is the necessary prerequisite for the iron artillery gunners to suppress the orc warriors.

From the time the orc army attacked the spear line of the Spartan heavy infantry, within fifteen minutes, the number of casualties of the orc army exceeded the total number of casualties in the previous nearly two hours, and even the orc army could not withstand such an attack for too long.

After another fifteen minutes passed, the number of casualties of the 300,000 orc army had risen sharply to about 50,000; in stark contrast, the vanguard cavalry of the breakout army finally broke through the encirclement of the orc army and truly killed the encirclement of the orc army!

The success of the vanguard cavalry gave great confidence to the main force of the breakthrough army, which was mired in a bloody battle, and with the personal command of the Marquis of Rundstead, and the continuous reinforcement of several large armies, the main army advanced faster and faster.

By this time, the scales of victory were already tilting in favor of the Imperial army, and the increasing decadence of the mad orc warriors was inevitably spreading among the army.

The death of a large number of mid-to-high-ranking generals and low-ranking officers has left the large orc army lacking effective command, and the gap between the orc warriors who fight separately and the well-organized Imperial breakout army is very stark.

However, the advantage is not all on the side of the imperial army, the numerical superiority of the orc army is still Bai Feng's biggest headache, and Bai Feng, who wanted to retreat the spear defense line several times, had to give up retreating due to the entanglement of the orc warriors.
