Chapter 41: The First Battle of the Hoplites
......The first person to climb to the top of the city was a fighter, and the strength of this fighter was definitely a fighter who had reached the late stage of the first order, not an ordinary fighter at the early stage of the first order.
This time, in each phalanx of Karui's light infantry, there were at least two fighters taking the lead, hoping to use the super strength of the fighters to drive the momentum of the whole team and establish a bridgehead at the head of the city.
And Xiao Yu absolutely scoffed at this approach, if Karui gathered all the dozens of fighters and attacked in the first batch, maybe he could really pose some threat to the orc soldiers and establish a position at the head of the city.
But if these fighters are separated, and there are only a few fighters per attack, then the orc infantry will not be afraid at all. Orc infantry that has reached the third level, as long as they are not facing a second-order fighter, has the power to fight, if it is two third-level orc infantry, they can drag one fighter, and three orc infantry can completely kill a fighter in the early or middle stage of the first order.
This is the strength of the orc soldiers, so Xiao Yu's first base chose the orc base at the beginning.
In this era of cold weapons, what class of troops can be better than orc infantry at the beginning stage? Whether it is the elven class or the human class, it is a big difference with the orc infantry.
Although the Terran infantry produced by Xiao Yu now can form a better formation and have first-class shield protection technology, if it fights against the orc infantry, one orc infantry can fight three or four Terran infantry of the same level.
Unless 100 Terran infantry form a formation, this can compete with 50 orc infantry. In a solitary dogfight, orc infantry is the best melee class.
The battle on the head of the city was not much different from the last time, although the number of soldiers rushing up from the Karui army this time was more, but the number of Xiao Yu's orc infantry was also more than double that of before.
Last time, Xiao Yu only had 200 orc infantry to defend the city wall, not even the Terran infantry. This time, the number of orc infantry reached 500, and there were 100 more Terran infantry positions to defend, and 100 elven hunters to support back and forth.
The battle at the head of the city broke out in an instant, and the flesh and blood were flying, and the orc infantry quickly stimulated the violent characteristics of this kind of scene, and the attacking Karui soldiers were often smashed directly by the orc soldiers as soon as they stood their feet.
The elven archers and great magicians are still harvesting the lives of the soldiers below, and for the soldiers at the head of the city, unless it is a threat to their safety, they basically do not make a move, and they all hide behind the Terran infantry. The Terran infantry will immediately hold up their shields to protect the Elven archers.
The Great Mage's Icicle Technique should shine in this kind of battlefield, and in defensive battles, the Mage's group attack spell is the most lethal to the soldiers, and the more fierce Karui's army charges, the more heavy the casualties will be.
Normally, Karui's army should have killed the archmage first, and they did, with two fighters and some soldiers rushing over to kill him.
But Xiao Yu had already made detailed arrangements in advance, ten terran infantry, ten orc infantry were dedicated to protecting the great magician, and the soldiers who attacked the city couldn't get close to the great magician at all, and they had all hung up.
Moreover, Xiao Yu himself is not far from the Great Mage, if there is really a too powerful enemy coming, Xiao Yu has now learned the skills of the Sword Master, and it is no problem to kill one or two fighters.
In order to give full play to the skills of the Sword Master, Xiao Yu specially created a long knife similar to the Sword Master's long sword, so as to maximize the effect of chopping.
The style of this long knife is the Tang knife that Xiao Yu was used to in his previous life, slender and long, with one side of the blade, as if a sword only had one blade.
In his previous life, Xiao Yu liked this weapon very much, and now he can finally get his long-cherished wish.
Not long after the Great Magician started the war, he reached level 7, and Xiao Yu immediately added one level to the Great Magician's Ice Shield, reaching level 2, in this way, the Great Magician's survivability will be stronger.
The battle at the head of the city was bloody and tragic, but Kalu's army suffered heavy losses, but it was still difficult to cross the thunder pond by half a step.
Relatively speaking, Xiao Yu's losses are not very serious. Although Karui was armed with some crossbowmen this time, and when climbing the city wall, he could use his crossbow to shoot at the soldiers at the head of the city, but most of the Terran infantry with shields were in front of him, and the orc infantry was one step behind the Terran infantry.
As for the elven archers, the position is even further back, still behind the orc infantry, Xiao Yu's order to them is to shoot the enemy in the distance, those enemies who are too close to the city wall are not in sight, leave it alone, let them climb up, and be dealt with by the orc infantry, the main thing for the elven archers is to save their lives and suppress them from a distance.
Seeing that the army was still unable to attack the city, and the bladed chariot did not dare to approach, Karui couldn't help but be furious, and issued an order: "Continue to attack, let the phalanx behind attack quickly, and be sure to capture the city for me." There are so many of you who can't occupy the city, so go back and be a slave for me. ”
As he gave a stern order, Karui's gaze shifted to the hoplites. The hoplites were now less than ten meters away from the city gates.
At the beginning, Xiao Yu suddenly opened the city gate, and Karu was inexplicable, and could only feel that Xiao Yu was going to surrender.
Now, Xiao Yu is not surrendering, but also opening the city gates, what the hell is he going to do?
"Does he think that we have hoplites, mages, and heavy city breakers, and we will definitely be able to break through the city gates, so he simply does not take advantage of the strong defense of the city gates, but wants to rely on the orc infantry to defend again like last time?"
Xiao Yu's Spartan-style defense last time left a deep impression on Kalu, so this time he felt that Xiao Yu must still play this idea.
"Hmph, idiot, last time I didn't have hoplites, it was difficult to break through the city gates, this time I have a hoplite formation, are you afraid of your orcs? I've read a lot of books, studied the cases of hoplite formations against orcs for a long time, and conducted countless drills to deal with orc infantry. If you do this again, it's up to me to slaughter all your orc infantry. ”
At this time, the commander who led the heavy infantry looked at the city gate close at hand, and his heart was also full of doubts, the other party obviously saw that his own hoplites had opened up, but the gate was still open, and there was no intention of closing, why is this?
Could it be that they were really so confident in the orc infantry that they felt they could completely break our hoplite formation?
History has proven that a hundred heavy infantry formations can definitely annihilate a hundred orcs who only know how to fight bravely, but do not understand any combat formation.
Boom......
The hoplite formation had already reached the opening of the city gate, and they had already seen the neatly arranged orc infantry standing on the side of the opening.
"Ready." The commander shouted loudly, ready to start fighting the orc infantry in front. The results of their training for a long time are finally going to be tested here.
Each hoplite let out a loud shout, gaining momentum, and then raised his heavy shield. Each shield covered the entire range of the infantry's knees to the neck, because the two infantrymen stood side by side, their shields were to protect the other person's half, and then the person next to him would protect his half, so that the shields in a row would advance slowly like a moving iron wall.
To deal with the orc infantry, it is necessary to rely on this way of advancing like a city wall to be able to get the most effect.
The soldiers in the first rows, with shields in one hand and swords in the other, began to resist the charge of the orc soldiers, making it impossible for them to overtake the soldiers in the first rows, while the soldiers who followed behind threw spears or used powerful crossbows to kill them.
As long as the first one can withstand the attack of the orc soldiers, then the later rangers will gradually kill all the orcs, and then the overall iron wall team will slowly advance, slowly eating away at the orc soldiers, and soon all these orc soldiers who can only jump with axes will die.
What's more, under normal circumstances, in this kind of hoplite phalanx, there will be a mage hidden, and if the mage's large-scale damage is scattered, the orc soldiers will die even faster.
Originally, this was the result of the hoplite formation against the orcs, but today, this result is completely different.
Because, their commander is Xiao Yu.
Seeing that the hoplite formation had entered the city gate hole, the beast cracked open its mouth and showed a row of fangs, forming an extremely treacherous smile.
The orcs were originally a simple, honest, and stubborn race, but these orc infantry have been following Xiao Yu for a long time, and they are close to the ink, and they have learned Xiao Yu's despicable and treacherous style to the fullest, and they are all more treacherous and treacherous when they laugh.
Especially the beast one is the first beast infantry to be produced, so the intelligence is turned on more, and Xiao Yu also learns the most.
Originally, they produced machine-like soldiers without any emotion, and their heads could be said to be blank, with nothing but the content of the battle.
It's like a newborn baby, the biggest influence on them must be with their parents, because they are together every day, and they are exposed to it.
Xiao Yu is like the parents of these orc infantrymen, learning from him in every word and deed, so it is inevitable that he will learn like this.
"Ready." The beast also shouted.
The neatly arranged ranks of orcs immediately split to the sides, and then, two strange ballistas with huge wings were resisted by the two orcs.
Seeing such strange cars, the commander of the hoplite had a bad feeling.
As it turned out, his feeling was not wrong, the two huge wings of the strange car suddenly opened, and then, a huge crescent-shaped iron blade appeared on it.
Buzzing......
With two strange sounds, two huge silver platters suddenly flew up from the two strange cars, and with a strong whistling sound, they flew straight towards the heavy infantry formation.
The speed of these two silver disks was extremely fast, several times faster than the bolts fired by any ballista they had ever seen, what kind of power would be formed by such a speed? Suddenly, there was a suddenness in their hearts.
