Chapter 204: Defense
"Stop!"
As Quill gave the order, the regular drumming stopped, and the Flying Bears, who heard the drumming stopping, immediately reacted and stood in place.
The movement on the side of the ogre's camp naturally couldn't hide from Quill's eyes, and the ogre had no intention of hiding it.
Led by the two ogre chiefs, nearly 6,000 ogres and tens of thousands of kobolds split into two groups and attacked the Tiger and Leopard Army and the Flying Bear Army respectively.
"Array!"
"Knock knock, knock knock..."
With the sound of a rapid drum, the soldiers who were originally still quickly moved into action, and with the eyes of the Chinese army where Quill was, they formed a defensive formation in the direction of the ogre's attack.
Several columns of pikemen were in front, a neat and perfect array of spears was listed, some obviously stronger soldiers stood in front of them with tower shields just to leave room for pikemen to attack, and some warriors in leather armor and other light equipment were interspersed with heavy armor-piercing weapons in the array.
They almost completely gave up their defense, leaving all their strength to the heavy soldiers in their hands, they couldn't bear a little damage, but if they gave the ogres a blow, even the heavily armored ogres would have to be smashed by these heavy soldiers of dozens of pounds.
The army was basically divided into four parts, one phalanx on the front, one phalanx on each flank, and finally Quill's central army was in the center to respond at any time.
Such a well-trained soldier, with a strict formation, if it is used to resist an ordinary human army, even if the opponent is twice as large, it may be difficult to attack a large formation in a short time, but it is still a little reluctant to resist an army composed of ogres.
Richard naturally knew that it was a bit unreliable to let the current Flying Bear Army and Tiger and Leopard Army go unprepared to directly fight against a large number of ogres, and he had prepared early, the attack may be difficult, but the defense should be able to support it more,
Just after the Flying Bear Army finished the formation, dozens of carriages followed by the rear army were pulled to the front of the formation, after arriving at the predetermined position, the soldiers pulled by the loser quickly untied the horses, and then took out the bracket to fix the carriage to the ground, and then cooperated in pairs to lock the fixed chariots together with iron chains,
Then he twitched with his hand, as if he had moved some mechanism.
There was a "clang" and the flat carriage flipped towards an iron baffle on the ogre's side, and there were a few spikes on the side of the baffle, and the design was quite vicious.
"Up!"
After the chariot was arranged, Quill gave an order, and some soldiers who had already practiced several times came out of the formation and stood on top of the chariot, forming the first line of defense against the ogre.
Space on the chariots is limited, and each chariot can hold only two pikemen, two crossbowmen, and a fighter ready for hand-to-hand combat.
Dozens of chariots in a line, combined with the army behind them, may allow these ordinary soldiers to withstand the attack of the ogre.
…
"Kill!"
On the other side, after Richard left to ride the Wyvern King to the sky, Elena consciously took on the responsibility of the arrow,
The golden fighting spirit flickered from time to time, although it was not dazzling, not as high-profile as Richard, but it was used just right, and every flicker of the fighting spirit always took away the life of an ogre warrior,
Slowly, Elena felt more and more relaxed, the density of the ogre in front of her began to decrease, and every time she took a step, she had to swing her sword several times to clear the way forward, and now she could only meet the obstruction of the ogre by several meters.
"Phew!"
Another ogre warrior was slashed by Elena's sword, but as soon as the long sword was pulled at his neck, blood began to gush out of the place where Elena's long sword slashed, and the ogre dropped the mace in his hand, and his hands tightly covered his neck, making a futile struggle, and after a few seconds he fell to the ground unwillingly.
As the ogre fell to the ground, it was no longer an ugly ogre that appeared in front of Elena, but an endless meadow and a clear blue sky, the breeze blowing, and the green grass tilted its head slightly, if it weren't for the strong smell of blood around her, and the shouts of killing were still endless, this scene was one of the most beautiful scenes Elena had seen in recent years.
Elena and the five champion knights came out of the ogre array almost at the same time, and the Red Flame Knights also followed, and the follow-up heavy cavalry and armored centaur elites also rushed out one after another.
The Red Flame Knights are in good condition both on the horses and on the horses, because at least they all have the strength of the knight rank, and in this situation, the Red Flame Knights have not attrition, only a few seriously injured ones were carried out by the Red Flame Horses.
But the attrition of the mounted heavy cavalry and the loss of the centaur elite is relatively large, in this round of charging formation, the ogre did not completely lose command and fell into chaos, and the will to fight has been relatively tenacious, in addition, the mounted heavy cavalry and the centaur elite were exhausted when they were in the second formation, and the losses naturally increased geometrically.
The heavy cavalry with armor lost nearly a hundred in this time, which was enough for Richard to feel distressed to drop blood, and the centaur elite lost less, but there were also dozens of cavalry losses,
At this time, it was quite clear from the air that the main force was still there, but the losses were still not small.
However, this is not the time to feel sorry for losses, the situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly, and we must seize the opportunity to completely defeat the opponent.
Richard rode the Wyvern back to the front of the group, directing the team to turn, and he wanted his iron cavalry to charge once more and completely crush the ogre reinforcements.
…
"My lord, the human army doesn't look like it's easy to attack."
On the other side, the ogres who came out to attack the two wings had already approached the Tiger and Leopard Army and the Flying Bear Army respectively.
They were all facing the human army that was huddled behind the chariot at the same time, and although they had never seen this kind of fighting, the spikes on the iron plate behind the dozens of chariots attached to the front of the army also told them that this chariot formation was piercing.
"Let the kobold go up and try it first."
Although the ogre chief has a lot of actual combat experience, he is actually a second knife in command, if he goes through a few more battles under the transmission of Grugesh, he may be able to grow a few good fighters, but now he is obviously far behind,
At this time, I can only use the traditional art of ogres, first put a wave of kobold cannon fodder on it, and test the reality before talking.
With the order of the ogre chieftain, thousands of kobolds were separated from the chaotic crowd of kobolds,
Most of them had some simple and primitive weapons in their hands, and even rushed to the front of the Flying Bear Army with their bare hands.
The Flying Bears finally face their first non-threatening battle since entering the wilderness...
