Chapter 322: The First Battle

"Crossbow!"

"Put!"

The signature low roar of the Hunter family's bear-hunting crossbows sounded, these easy-to-move and powerful small crossbows have been increasing, and now the standard configuration of a legion is fifty, and now Morrill uses more than a hundred bear-hunting crossbows in two legions at the same time, causing a lot of casualties to the vanguard of the orcs.

The spear-like crossbow bolts pierced directly through the heavy armor on the orcs, causing casualties to dozens of orc vanguards.

Seeing this long-range method of the human race, Gelt, who was observing, frowned, the bed crossbow equipped by the humans in the North was actually better than the human legion in the Dragon Breath Pass, and the range exceeded his expectations, and also exceeded the expectations of the orc commander in front, causing his command to raise the shield one step slower, and paid some more casualties.

"Shield! Shield! ”

"Drink!"

The orcs have fought with humans for so many years, and naturally they will not be as simple as ogres, and soon, the orcs in the front row will hold up their two-handed tower shields, and the orcs who protect most of the orcs in the back will also raise the round shield behind them, with the heavy armor on their bodies, ordinary arrows can't help the orcs who advance like this.

"Put!"

The bear hunting crossbow was fast enough to quickly fire a second round of shots, and this time the orcs were prepared, and the results were indeed much worse than the last time.

Although the bear-hunting crossbow is not small, there should not be any armor in this era that can block a blow head-on, but the orc tower shield is very clever to shoot, compared to the shoddy door panel of the ogre, the orc's tower shield has some tilt, and there is no need to directly face the force to tilt the giant arrow, although the tilted giant arrow can also cause damage to the warriors behind it, but compared to facing this loss is much reduced, this round caused more than a dozen casualties of the orcs, which is completely within the range of the orcs.

"There are two hits."

Moryl, who was riding the Red Flame Horse, also gave a rare compliment to the performance of the orc vanguard, in her opinion, with the performance of these orcs, she could already be regarded as a qualified cannon fodder legion.

"Crossbow ready!"

"Put!"

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!"

In the configuration of the dragon army, each legion also has five hundred strong crossbowmen, these strong crossbows are miniature versions of bear hunting crossbows, which are more convenient to use than bear hunting crossbows, and can be carried by only one person when marching, and two people can be quickly loaded and used in wartime.

It's just that this weapon, which once played a huge role in fighting with ogres in the wilderness, still has a bad effect on the orcs, the orc's armor rate is too high, and it's not a shoddy armor, the orcs can actually be regarded as a civilized race, and it has also been developed since the elven empire a thousand years ago, and the forging technology may be a little worse than that of humans, but there is absolutely no generation difference, plus the orcs are born with a physique to hit some, and the armor and armor pieces on their bodies can be thicker and heavier, and the defense is naturally better.

Hundreds of crossbow arrows did not cause much casualties to the orcs, and the two rounds of arrows rained down were comparable to the damage caused by the previous bear-hunting crossbows.

"Throwing axe!"

After the distance between the two sides is getting closer and closer, of course, the orcs will not only be beaten and not fight back, the orcs are generally not equipped with long-range weapons such as bows and crossbows for individual soldiers, but it does not mean that they do not have long-range means, each orc warrior will be equipped with two flying axes, thrown in front of the formation, this kind of flying axes that fall like raindrops will often directly collapse the human legions that are not strong-willed.

The dragon army's reaction was very fast, and when it was more than thirty steps away, the big shield on the dragon army's side had already been raised, and the crusaders in the front row also raised the round shields in their hands, and these dense flying axes were difficult to pose any threat to the crusaders at the peak of the knight rank.

"Bell, bell,..."

The heavy axe smashed into a tooth-aching metal sound, and the big shield could not block all the damage, but if one missed and hit the head, with the weight of the throwing axe and the force of the throw, no matter how good the quality of the iron helmet was, it immediately fell to the ground.

The damage dealt by the orc axe is even greater than the dragon's ranged attack just now.

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh..."

According to the usual tactics of the orcs, after approaching the human legion with a dense shield array, they began to increase their speed, and at the time of thirty steps, they launched a charge while throwing the throwing axe, and within ten seconds after the flying axe fell, they could make close contact with the human army.

But what the orcs didn't expect was that when they just launched a charge, a rain of arrows that was even sharper than just now fell, and the orcs without the tower shield formation suffered a sudden blow.

The sharpshooters and archers hidden in the formation began to rain arrows at the charging orcs at the fastest speed, and only these system armies could shoot such a dense rain of arrows in such a scattered formation.

As early as when the orcs were dispatched, Morriel saw that the other party's protection against long-range means was strong, and he pressed the system army to the end, and only attacked when the distance was close enough that the orcs lost the protection of the big shield, which was a great test of the archer team's mental endurance, that is, the system army could play like this.

In just ten seconds, the marksmen and elves poured at least three rounds of arrows, and more than a hundred orcs fell in front of the formation, and the most prominent part was crippled.

"Retreat!"

As the orcs approached, the marksmen and elves retreated through the gap in the dragon ranks, and were greeted by a line of spears.

"Bang!"

Although it encountered a round of extremely fast arrow rain, the bravery of the orc pioneer battalion was not affected in the slightest, and the army that had been fighting for blood all year round was difficult to be stopped by long-range means of this intensity, and in the end, it still had to be face-to-face to determine the result.

"Roar!"

"Kill!"

The spear has a mediocre effect on the orcs, causing some casualties but not stopping the orcs from advancing, and these guys who are more than twice as powerful as human warriors can even drag the spears of the soldiers in front of the human front row in front of the formation and drag people out of the array.

"Phew!"

Ron followed the pikemen with a group of crusaders, and as soon as they made contact, the crusaders met them.

The Crusaders are worthy of being the backbone of the castle, and they can be said to be handy against opponents of comparable size like orcs, and their sharp battlefield swordsmanship and tacit cooperation can stun the orcs in an instant.

It's not that they haven't seen human knights, and it's not that they haven't seen human knights who are dispatched in a concentrated manner, and there is a knight group composed entirely of knights in Longxi Pass, which is not the first of Richard's kind.

But this kind of phalanx of heavy infantry, which is composed entirely of knights, is indeed the first time that it has been encountered with such a tacit understanding, and no force except Richard can use knights so extravagantly.
