Chapter 164: The Danger of the Pure Sword
The onslaught of the orcs was not long in coming. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Now, the only team that Alessandrina could really use to fight those orcs was three hundred white-robed pure swordsmen.
I have to say that the training method inherited from her father brought this unit is still very guaranteed in terms of combat effectiveness. The two-handed swordsmen were not heavy infantry, and they only wore inlaid leather armor, and their protection was not very good. However, in the case of the tiger wielding the two-handed sword, he did not fall behind at all in the head-to-head confrontation with the orc warriors who came to the impact.
But this is only temporary.
The number of orcs is larger, and the number of troops is more complete. With no hoplites ahead to resist the charge of the orc army, the battle axes and hammers of the orc warriors were still very threatening. With such a hard fight, if you lose, you will be defeated, and most of the wins will be just a miserable victory.
With support from the rear, Delina was certainly reluctant to accept such an outcome.
She also made a clever choice, trying to shrink the team as much as possible, and strictly ordering her soldiers not to take the initiative to chase them out. And herself, together with Caroline, was on the front line of the battle. The long swords in the hands of the two of them were flying up and down, one was a seventh-level swordsman and a ninth-level swordsman, and their performance in the battle was still very strong. In the face of the two of them, most of them will think that women are easy to deal with at first, but after they are really faced, most of them will be chopped off by other people's two-handed swords within one or two moves.
The brown-skinned, green-skinned orcs, carrying heavy weapons, fought viciously with the pure swordsmen, shouting all over the sky, blood was constantly thrown out, the battle axes smashed their heads, the war hammers collapsed their chests, and the pure swordsmen suffered tragic casualties, not to be outdone, with their two-handed swords, they also killed the orcs one by one.
The white-hot battle, from the very beginning, gradually developed in the most tragic direction.
The eyes of the orc army are not blind, of course they can see it, not far away, another human army led by Dane has already appeared in the field of vision, and I am afraid that it will not be long before they join the battle. However, now that they have no choice, they can quickly defeat the human army in front of them, and they may still have the strength to fight again, even if they choose to retreat and escape, they will be much more relaxed.
But if they fail to defeat the Pure Sword Mercenary Regiment and let Dane lead the troops to kill them, then defeat is inevitable.
The orc commander riding on a wolf is not stupid. He watched the frantic resistance of the pure sword, and the approaching forces of Dane, and he was determined to throw the last and strongest force at his disposal into battle: seventy wolf cavalry!
On the frontal battlefield, the orc infantry and the pure swordsman are inseparable, of course he will not be stupid and directly put the wolf cavalry in his hand into the front, which not only will not be able to exert the impact of the cavalry, but also waste the excellent mobility of the wolf cavalry.
He instigated the wolf under his crotch, let out a battle horn, and led his wolf cavalry to roar and began to move towards the flank of the battle array. Not only that, but he also divided a small team, about a dozen wolf cavalry, and rushed towards Irons, who was trying to regroup.
The movements of the orc wolf cavalry did not arouse the vigilance of the pure sword mercenary group.
In fact, if Delina was still in the command position, she would definitely be able to see the intention of the orc wolf cavalry - to use a small team of wolf cavalry to drive away those scattered mercenaries and prevent Irons from regrouping his troops, if not to stop it, at least it could slow down the process to a large extent. The remaining main force of the wolf cavalry, led by this orc commander himself, circled around the flank and rear of the pure sword mercenary group and launched a deadly attack.
There is no doubt that if the wolf cavalry's operation is successful, it will definitely deal a fatal blow to the pure sword mercenary group. Not to mention that Delina, who is now facing the orc blade on the front-line battlefield, can't detect it, even if she does, what can she do? The pure swordsmen, who were inseparable from the orc infantry head-on, could hardly withstand the onslaught of the wolf cavalry from the rear in a fierce battle.
Now, the only thing that can be counted on is that Irons can organize a force in a short period of time, and then rush to support and hold the rear camp of the Pure Sword Mercenary Regiment. The number of people in this army does not necessarily need to be very large, there are dozens of people, forming a careful formation, blocking for a moment and a half, and temporarily relieving the impact of the wolf cavalry.
After all, Dane's large army is behind and is about to arrive, and as long as it holds for a while, it will be considered a victory.
But Irons was not able to make the right choice at this time. The progress of his reorganization of the rout was not good, and under the impact and drive of a small group of wolf cavalry, the troops that were already likely to be able to be sorted out immediately were once again scattered because they were driven away.
There were only a dozen wolf cavalry, but like wolf dogs driving sheep away, they easily drove the routs around.
In fact, as long as Irons takes the lead now, with some soldiers around him, it is enough to wipe out this wolf cavalry that has come to make trouble. He himself has the strength of a tenth-level shield guard knight, how can he not be able to defeat a small team of wolf cavalry with a few mercenaries?
But no one knows what he thinks, perhaps because he didn't dare, he didn't make a decisive choice. As a result, it is difficult to carry out the reorganization of the rout or the rout, let alone fill the danger on the rear front of the Pure Sword Mercenary Group.
Now, it seems that no one can save Delina's pure sword mercenary group. The team of wolf cavalry is about to bite their butts, and once these wolf cavalry really rush up from the flanks and rear, the swordsmen with their backs to the cavalry will inevitably be as powerless to resist as lambs waiting to be slaughtered under the wolf cavalry scimitars of the orcs.
At the same time, after the rear is fatally impacted, the chain reaction will collapse with the entire pure sword formation, and the two-handed swordsman in front will inevitably be unable to continue to support in the fierce battle with the orc infantry, and the final result will be to slide into the bottomless abyss.
At the critical moment, a wave of arrows rained down, and the brilliance of arcane magic flashed quickly, saving the pure sword mercenary group.
Of course, the one who made the power was the first to catch up and belonged to the two teams that belonged to Dane - the ranger unit and a squad of mages!
The rangers and mages who caught up with Dain's army before Dane used arrows and spells to reverse the defeat of pure swords!
