Chapter 22: Confrontation
Bloodspear Overseer Azig Flame Spear Hazaral watched his men slaughter the town guards and residents, "Weak humans, we should have attacked five years ago. ”
Standing beside him was the Chief Minister, Grand Witch Doctor Ursule, an aged witch doctor who picked up the head of a guard, and black magic swept upward, and in an instant the head was the size of an orange, dry and deflated.
"Venerable Patriarch, the weak of the human race are very weak, but their strong can rival the strongest warriors."
"Humph! That's the best. Azig watched as his subordinates dragged two humans, "Otherwise, the sheep people can only be used for food, not entertainment." ”
"Female humans are also useful, please give them to me." There was no expression on the wrinkled face of the Grand Witch Doctor of Ursure.
"Please, let me go, I'm Baron Singlestmann, and I'll give you whatever you want." The obese of the two humans pleaded miserably, and the other one with him was whiter and tenderer, and exuded a strange smell.
"This is the chief of their tribe." The troll warrior who captured the baron was a little confused, unsure if the captive would bring him honor.
Azig picked up the fat human and sniffed it, then picked up the skinny one and sniffed it. The strange smell made the troll lord very curious, and he tore the baroness's dress, revealing a seductive white and plump body.
Smelling the burly, ferocious and tall troll around her, the baroness finally couldn't contain her fear and began to cry.
"Be strong, darling! Whatever they have to do, you have to be patient! Baron Singleston said to his wife, crying.
Azig muttered to the Baroness and threw the Baroness back, "Get out of camp and bring me that man later." ”
"What did he just say?" The frightened baron took off his coat and put it on his wife.
He said...... He said you're more fragrant......"
……
Xiao Yan could see the firelight of Singleston from a distance, and a few panicked townspeople ran towards the army.
"It's a troll! Trolls! "A soldier who had lost his armor clung to the leg of the Count of Condé's horse cried out, "They have eaten the men and locked up the women." ”
"Battle formation! The whole army is deployed. The Marquis of Tyulin shouted, "Condé, you take the cavalry to the right flank, I lead the infantry to advance from the center, and the infantry of the Lamor family is on the left flank." Miss Sonia, have your retainers rush into town along the western shore of the lake with their elite soldiers to rescue the captured citizens. ”
The Marquis of Qiulin was one of the most famous generals in the kingdom, and he immediately formed a formation in a hurry, and 5,000 soldiers and horses marched towards the town in unison.
"Honorable Patriarch, the warriors of the human race are here."
The troll scout reported to Azig the presence of an army from the north, and the troll lord threw down the fat in his hand and strode out with his spear.
"Come here, my first son, Mandogir." The Troll Lord called out to his eldest son, "Continue south with your clan, kill the humans, and burn their crypts." ”
The heroic and sturdy troll warrior looked at his father in confusion: "But I want to fight!" The warriors of mankind are said to be very brave. ”
"Go! This is the order of the Great Chief. The Troll Lord hugged his most proud son, "Warriors not only fight with their spears, but also with their brains!" Use your spear to kill, drive away, and terrorize the humans to the south, and make your way to the southernmost market town of humanity, and let them know that the orc warriors are coming. ”
The infantry under the command of the Marquis of Qiulin methodically stretched from the marching column to the sides, evolving into a wide horizontal formation. The formation was changed in one go, and before the trolls on the opposite side could occupy a good position, they pressed like a mountain.
"This group of human chiefs is an amazing warrior." In a hurry, Azig didn't have time to fully deploy his soldiers outside the town, and when he saw the Terran army marching into the wall with high morale, he couldn't help but exclaim, "Spearman, prepare to fire a salvo." The head of the human leader deserves to be hung on my necklace. ”
Throwing spears like locusts were thrown from the hands of the troll soldiers, and they stabbed towards the soldiers of the Marquis of Qiulin.
"Insect carving skills. Herald, Testudo (tortoiseshell array)! Qiulin saw a row of troll warriors in the distance come forward with spears in hand, and immediately gave an order.
With the sound of a trumpet, thousands of infantry unanimously raised their large shields to protect their front and overhead, which looked like a long piece of silver metal from high in the sky.
The sharp spears clanged against the sturdy shield, with the occasional scream or two, as the spears passed through the gaps in the shield and shot through the soldiers below.
The heavy battle line was almost unscathed, and the soldiers marched forward with large shields.
As the humans advanced, the rain of spears continued to be thrown from the trolls' array, constantly passing through the gaps in the shields and pinning the soldiers to the ground.
But in a well-organized military formation, the human losses were not large. Soon the troll shooters had finished throwing their spears, and some of them looked at the humans who were advancing like a wall.
"Javelin salvo, salvo three rounds!" Qiulin shouted.
"Javelin salvo, salvo three rounds!" Master Chiefs shouted.
"Javelin salvo, salvo three rounds!" The sergeants of the various small phalanxes passed the orders of the commander-in-chief.
The soldier who had been hiding behind his shield heard the repeated orders from the position, immediately lowered his shield, drew the javelin inserted behind the shield, and threw a rain of death at the uncovered troll warrior.
"Ahh The troll warriors howled incessantly, being pinned to the ground with sharp throwing guns. After three neat volleys, the first two rows of 500 troll shooters on the front line were almost swept away.
"Warriors! Offensive! Azig watched as the sharp javelin was fired, drew his spear and leaped out, and more than a thousand troll warriors rushed forward with their tomahawks and spears shouting.
Flames rolled across the tip of Azig's spear, and he aimed a spear at a heavily armored human lieutenant in front of him. Before the officer could react, a sharp iron spear pierced his chest, killing both soldiers in his back.
The three fell to the ground like meat skewers.
The Iron Spear in the Blood Spear Overseer's hand fired seven rounds in tandem like a bead spear, each shot piercing the soldiers behind the shield and taking the two comrades behind them with them.
7 spears killed 21 people, among them 2 officers and 4 sergeants!
The position in front of the Bloodspear Overseers collapsed, and troll warriors armed with axes rushed into the crowd and slashed and slaughtered.
The sharp and heavy battle axe not only shattered the sword, but also slashed through shields and iron armor, and smashed flesh and bones into dents.
The average human soldier was no match for the troll elves at all, and with the loss of his own non-commissioned officer, the two small phalanxes were wiped out in the blink of an eye, and the Blood Demon Overseers and their men cut through the human defenses.
"It's fierce!" Before the Marquis of Qiulin could give the order, he saw his line being broken through in an instant, "Condé, send cavalry to attack the gap and drive them back!" ”
The 200 reserve cavalry immediately set off from the general's banner, raised their long cavalry spears, and straddled their horses to rush towards the trolls who were slaughtering the scattered phalanx infantry.
"Where is the spear?" The Bloodspear Overseer was undaunted by the surging wall. The two soldiers immediately sent two bundles of war spears. Azig picked up a spear and swung it in the palm of his hand, and a flash of fire shot out with the spear.
"Stay in formation! Flush with me! The cavalry commander scanned his cavalry line as he charged. Yes, in good shape, you should be able to break away from those beasts and crush them all at once.
"Ugh!"
In the distance, the fire flashed, and before the cavalry commander could say a word, a spear pierced through his mouth, pierced through the back of his head, and the human brain exploded under the impact of great force.
Almost at the same time as the headless corpse fell from the horse, six more knights were killed.
The troll warriors followed suit, throwing spears at the knights, and the knights at the front were killed and wounded. But the speed of the cavalry charge was too fast, and in the blink of an eye it rushed in front of it.
The heavy cavalry in armor slammed into the bodies of the troll warriors and their own infantry, knocking them upside down and sending their crumbling entrails out of their mouths.
The Blood Spear Overseer fired angrily, killing seven people in a row with seven spears, but only to make sure there were no cavalry in front of him.
A raging wall of horsemen rushed through, and the hundreds of troll warriors who followed the Bloodspear Overseer were stumbled like fallen leaves in the autumn wind, nearly dead.
The troll warriors in the back and the cavalrymen who had lost their horse speed scuffled together, and there were desperate curses and shouts everywhere.
It is no longer possible to expand the gains of the war. Seeing that his counterattack had not worked, Azig picked up two spears and retreated.
