Chapter Two Hundred and Seven: Fierce Battle

"Whew!"

At this time, the ogre chieftain in the rear of the Zhengda army finally breathed a sigh of relief, the price paid along the way was really unexpectedly large,

On the side of the Flying Bear Army, the bear hunting crossbow and the strong crossbow in the front row both fired two rounds of salvos, which directly caused hundreds of casualties among ogres, which were hundreds of ogre elites.

Before they were released, a hundred armored ogre elites would have to exchange the lives of at least two or three thousand human soldiers, and now they have paid such a big price before they have even been contacted, which really makes the ogre chief in command feel a little chill in his heart.

Fortunately, at this time, the ogre warriors had officially joined the human army, and he believed that in close combat, his warriors could easily tear apart the human formation.

……

"Bell, bell..."

The ogre warrior who had already pounced in front of the chariot made a lot of noise as soon as he came, and unlike the powerlessness of the kobolds, the mace in the ogre's hand could cause a lot of shock when it hit the body of the car.

Both Hefu and the little stonemason felt like the chariot was shaking and about to fall apart.

"Spear, spear!"

"Kill!"

The ogre attacked the chariot, and the soldiers on the chariot were not ornaments, and the three-meter spear stabbed out fiercely, picking the position of the ogre without armor protection, and a big hole was pierced.

"Ahh

However, the gap between the strength of humans and ogres is still too big, although the pikemen can cause a little damage to the ogres in the vicinity, but the reaction ogres can hold the barrel of the spear and drag the person from the chariot alive.

Those who react faster can quickly throw away their hands, but they lose a spear, and those who react slowly are thrown directly into the ogre pile, and there is no life.

"Hum..."

Another sharp arrow was shot, and the little stonemason who entered the state was worthy of his own strength, and it didn't take long to reload it again, and it was an arrow at the ogre in front of him, and another burly ogre warrior fell in response.

"Bang!"

"Ahh

The chariot was not idle, the nearly two-meter chariot may be an insurmountable barrier for the kobold, but for the ogre, it is a height that can be climbed with both hands.

Just be a little careful to avoid the spikes in front of the baffle, it's much easier than a siege.

On the chariot in the hands of Hauff, a brave ogre warrior carried his mace behind his back, and climbed on the chariot's baffle with both hands in an attempt to enter the chariot.

As long as these ogres successfully climb onto the chariot, with the difference in strength between the two, even if the ogres have no weapons, there is a high probability that there will be a massacre next.

Fortunately, Heifu's reaction was fast enough, and when the ogre was just emerging, he slapped it into the ogre's face, causing the other party to fall down with a wail.

"You two, go help with the winding, stop attacking ogres with spears."

The experienced Hafu had already seen the embarrassment of the pikemen on the chariot, and while his carmen had not been injured for the time being, he simply ordered the pikemen to abandon the attack and turn to help the crossbowmen wind up, which could instead cause more damage to the ogre.

The design of this vehicle was inspired by the tactics of the Partial Vans and Hussites of the previous era, when assaulting vehicles could only be stacked with an absolute number of lives without artillery support.

The general cavalry can't help the defending side in the car formation, and more often adopt siege tactics, and will not attack unless it is absolutely necessary.

Of course, Richard's chariot tactics can only be regarded as a crippled version, there is no existence of firearms, and it can only be replaced by a strong crossbow, and the effect is still much worse than firearms, and due to poor consideration, Richard also made the mistake of empiricism, and the chariot was also equipped with two pikemen,

These spears are used against ordinary soldiers, and even cavalry, which are sharp weapons, but they are obviously not very effective against ogres, and they will not do much damage to ogres but will be countered, so it is better to replace them with a heavy hammer hand and a strong crossbowman.

"Ahh

After smashing the head of another ogre, Hefu suddenly heard a scream from another chariot not far away,

This scream was a little familiar to the ears of the little stonemason, so that the little stonemason who had just finished the string couldn't help but look sideways.

"What do you see? Lack of concentration on the battlefield, looking for death? ”

After being scolded by the black man, the little stonemason hurriedly turned his head and continued to stare at the ogre in front of him.

This voice is actually very familiar to Heifu, but Heifu's combat quality and experience are much better, and he has not been affected.

He could hear that this was another of his fellow villagers, a little later than he joined the army, and many of the hammermen on these chariots were from the stonemason village, and these men from the stonemason village had been quarrying stones all year round, and had sharpened their strength before joining the army.

After joining the army, as soon as the nutrition keeps up, the strength can still be seen, and it is suitable to be used as a heavy hammer.

But apparently, another of Heifu's fellow villagers failed to defend the chariot thoroughly, resulting in the ogre climbing onto the chariot, and after slaughtering all the soldiers in the chariot, the ogre could even use it as a breakthrough to further break into the formation.

Fortunately, the Flying Bear Army had already planned for this kind of thing, and a quasi-knight surrounded it with a special squad composed of several heavy hammermen and crossbowmen, and before the ogre who had just broken through could cause any more damage, it was greeted by an arrow and a heavy hammer, and he was beaten to death, and then several people quickly filled the gap and stabilized the line again.

However, this situation of stable defense line is only temporary, more than 3,000 ogre warriors plus 10,000 kobold vassals, it is definitely not something that 20,000 flying bear troops can easily block.

Not long after the battle began, there were already many emergency situations, not only the chariot was broken by the ogre, but the chains and spikes in the gap between the chariot and the war workshop could not completely stop the ogre's pace.

In particular, there are kobolds who sacrifice their lives and deaths, destroying many spike traps like thunder, and using corpses to pave several passages for ogres to advance.

This makes it impossible for the Flying Bear Army to completely hide behind the car formation to fight against the ogre, and some gaps have already begun to have a tragic hand-to-hand encounter, and four or five spears stab an ogre warrior at the same time, always causing him a little damage,

But there are also ogre warriors who rushed in with spears on their shoulders and fearlessly rushed in, causing casualties to several Flying Bear soldiers with a sweep of the mace in their hands, and then they were quickly caught up and beaten by the hammer soldiers interspersed in the line.

The war has entered a stalemate for a while, but both sides are not satisfied with this state.

Quill's brow furrowed, or rather, his brow hadn't stretched since the ogre rushed up,

The casualties are too great, don't look at the ogres killed and injured a lot, but in addition to the ogres who were killed by long-range weapons, in the hand-to-hand combat, every time an ogre warrior is killed, you have to pay for the lives of five or six warriors, and if you continue to fight like this, even if you block the ogre, the old foundation of the Flying Bear Army will have to be lost.

Of course, this casualty ratio should be placed in the previous Jingbei Army's battle with ogres, which is definitely a non-losing exchange ratio, or even a ratio that has to be laughed at.

It's just that the Flying Bear Army has not experienced a crushing defeat after fighting the ogre, so its morale is naturally higher, so it is not very acceptable to accept too large a casualty ratio.

And the ogre chief on the other side can only be described as thunderous in the face of this situation,

"Shameless, shameless! These cowards! ”

The ogre's scolding was naturally the Flying Bear Army, and in his opinion, it was a shame for these humans to hide behind strange chariots and not dare to confront their warriors directly.

Of course, the most shameful thing is that the Flying Bear Army is hiding behind the chariot, and it has caused him so many casualties.

"Follow me!"

In desperation, the enraged ogre chief simply carried his mace and walked towards the Flying Bear Army's chariot formation with the reserves he had left behind.

"Bang! Bang! Bang! ”

"Ahh Ahh

With a tooth-aching sound of shattering, a chariot was smashed by the ogre chief and half of the carriage was destroyed, and the soldiers in the chariot were directly exposed, and one of the ogre chiefs who were full of fire smashed their heads like watermelons,

The bloody scene even slightly shocked the soldiers behind them, but fortunately, the Flying Bears were disciplined and morale was high, and after a brief pause in the picture, the soldiers continued to rush forward one after another, trying to drive out the much-stronger ogre.

It's just that the tactics that were originally effective against ordinary ogres obviously didn't work on the ogre chieftain,

The Flying Bears' casualties began to mount, and the defense line became precarious.
