Chapter 48: Engagement 2

"Kill!"

In order to boost morale, Horn directly ignited his fighting spirit, and slashed at the ogre in front of him with a sword.

The ogre warrior subconsciously raised the thigh-thick stake in his hand in the face of the oncoming sword, trying to resist.

It's a pity that the already sharp long sword is even more indestructible under the blessing of Horn's fighting spirit, and the stake held by the ogre was easily split by Horn's long sword, and then the long sword went castrate, cutting straight into the ogre's chest.

Before the ogre could scream, he fell, red blood spurting from the edge of his sword, staining half of Horn's armor red.

Horn wiped the blood on his face without care, and killed several ogres nearby one after another, and the peak knight who was only one step away from the big knight was definitely a crushing advantage against the ordinary ogre.

Although the soldiers in the front row suffered heavy casualties in the first wave of collision, the soldiers in the back row did not hesitate to step forward and firmly stabilize the battle line.

The First Banner Regiment has a complete range of troops, and in addition to pikemen, it is also specially equipped with war hammermen, which use blunt weapons.

Some soldiers with more strength were specially selected to use the war hammer, and it was easier to cause damage to the thick-skinned ogre under the siege of a few people.

In addition to Horn and other knights who were directly killed, there were also many ogres who fell under the siege of the warhammer.

After Horn slashed the ogre one after another, he soon caught the attention of the ogre warriors.

An ogre warrior who looked stronger and even wore tattered metal armor rushed towards Horn, no longer allowing him to kill ordinary ogre warriors at will.

"Phew!"

Horn's sword slammed into the metal mace with a tooth-aching sound.

A huge force came from the hilt of the sword, and the mouth of the horn that shook him was numb.

However, Horn is worthy of being a peak knight powerhouse who is about to enter the great knight level with half a foot, and the first collision is all about to touch the ogre warrior in terms of strength, although he did not take any advantage, but he firmly stuck in place and did not retreat.

The biggest advantage of the ogre warriors is the absolute superiority in strength, there is no advantage without strength in the battle with Horn, just talking about skill, the ogre can't catch up with Horn.

In the next confrontation, Horn quickly suppressed the ogre warrior with his superb swordsmanship, and also added several shallow wounds to the ogre warrior's body.

If another knight-level can come to help him at this time, Horn is confident that he can directly kill the ogre warrior in front of him in a short period of time.

Unfortunately, Horn did not wait for the support of his comrades, but instead broke Horn's illusion with a scream.

A knight-rank commander died tragically under the mace of an ogre warrior.

There were also two guys who were suspected of being ogre warriors nearby, and then approached the battlefield on Horn's side.

"No, there are too many ogre warriors."

There was no time to grieve for the death of his subordinates, and Horn was already furious in his heart.

According to common sense, there are at most five or six ogre warriors among the five hundred ogre warriors, and now almost all the people under his command are pinned down by the ogre warriors.

According to conservative estimates, there are at least ten ogre warriors on the battlefield now, almost the same number as the knights of the First Banner Regiment, and in a one-on-one battle,

It is difficult for human knights to suppress ogre warriors, and among the knights of the First Banner Regiment, except for Horn himself, it is almost difficult for others to compete with an ogre warrior alone.

I didn't have time to continue to pay attention to the situation of the others, and the two ogres who approached were indeed ogre warriors, and Horn soon fell into the dilemma of being beaten by three ogre warriors.

The knights of the banner regiment were almost all too busy to take care of themselves, and it was difficult for ordinary soldiers to resist the onslaught of hordes of ogres on their own, and only a few quasi-knight-level officers organized the soldiers to resist hard.

Originally, the Jingbei Army still had some numerical advantages, and if seven or eight people could cooperate to besiege an ogre, it could barely support it, but this battle was not only an ogre with five hundred quasi-knights, but also thousands of kobolds like cannon fodder.

If these dog-headed people with sharp teeth and sharp mouths, armed with pointed wooden sticks and slightly polished stone spears, appeared alone, the Jingbei Army would certainly be able to teach them to be dogs in minutes.

Although it is difficult for them to directly kill and injure the soldiers of the Jingbei Army, they can greatly interfere with the formation of the soldiers of the Jingbei Army in the melee, and even some kobolds will press the soldiers of the Jingbei Army down in groups of three or five.

Marquis Wade, who was in the distance, naturally saw what happened to the First Banner Regiment, and he didn't expect that the proportion of ogre warriors in this group of ogre warriors would be so high.

It's not to blame the scouts and sword hawk knights, these ogre warriors look little different from ordinary ogres from a distance except for being stronger, maybe they can judge from a close distance,

However, the scouts of the Jingbei Army did not have a chance to observe closely, and generally inferred in proportion, but it was obvious that there was a big problem in this inference, and the First Banner Regiment was directly in danger.

Fortunately, the remaining three flag regiments of the First Banner Regiment were not far away, and Marquis Wade ordered them to speed up the reinforcements to the First Banner Regiment.

Although the combat strength of these three flag regiments is slightly inferior to that of the first flag regiment, they are definitely well-trained elites. There are also more than a dozen knights in the three banner regiments combined, and when they join, the mixed army of ogres and kobolds on the opposite side is definitely difficult to be arrogant.

And so it is.

When the remaining three flag regiments entered the battlefield, the Jingbei Army turned its downward trend and quickly suppressed the ogre, who had just been invincible.

These new forces soon defeated the ogre army and retreated, leaving behind many corpses.

In absolute numbers, ants can bite elephants to death, not to mention that the soldiers of the Jingbei Army are definitely not ants, at least a group of hungry wolves.

Although the proportion of ogre warriors among ogres was a little surprising to Marquis Wade, it was not beyond his control,

Although this ogre tribe has a population of more than 3,000, only half of the young and strong people who really have the strength of quasi-knights are sent out, and at this time, sending a third of them with a few thousand kobolds has been completely suppressed by the First Legion, and it is a matter of time before it is defeated without support.

If they were to support, Marquis Wade still had three legions in his hands that did not move,

Not to mention the cavalry of a banner regiment of Veru cruising around the perimeter.

In the eyes of the Marquis Wade, everything is under control,

All he had to think about was how to win the battle with minimal casualties.

While Marquis Wade was thinking, the ogres who were fighting with the First Legion were finally a little unable to resist, and after losing a few ogre warriors, there were some signs of retreat.

However, the First Legion was unforgiving, firmly sticking to the ogres in front of them and not giving them a chance to evacuate.

As if out of helplessness, nearly a thousand ogres poured out of the camp, rushing to the battlefield with tens of thousands of kobolds, as if they were forced to fight a decisive battle.

"The second and third legions attack!"

The Marquis Wade decisively gave the order.

The Second and Third Army Corps also quickly followed the order and strode towards the battlefield.

What came out on the opposite side was already all the strength of the ogre, and they were definitely not enough to face the two legions of the Jingbei Army, and Marquis Wade still had half of the legion in reserve, and the cavalry of a banner regiment did not participate in the battle.

It seems that there is no suspense in this battle anymore.

Everything was so smooth and reasonable.
