Chapter 179: Ignition!

"Steady-steady-steady-steady-steady-steady!!-steady

With Isabelle's roar, the orc warrior instantly ran through the open space specially reserved by the humans with his weapon in hand. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Shield!"

The veterans who served as spearmen commanders, they roared as hard as they could, and in their roars, although they were nervous, each spearman raised his shield in his hand and put his spear on the shield, and the shield and spear were stacked on top of each other, forming an unbreakable shield wall in an instant!

"Boom! Click-"

At the moment of contact, the muffled sound of weapons and armor hitting the shield, the screams of being pierced through the body by the weapon, the sound of spears breaking, and the sound of shields cracking were incessant.

Nearly a hundred pikemen were tossed into the air and fell to the muddy ground, the dead silent, the wounded writhing and wailing, and then quickly dragged behind by their comrades.

At this moment, any fear, tension turns into crazy despair! Whether it is a hideous orc or a human soldier, their faces are twisted, they let out a roar that they don't understand, and they wave their weapons wildly, killing all enemies who are different from themselves!

The narrow passage succeeded in restraining the number of orcs, and although they were still appearing, it was impossible to defeat the human phalanx with refueling tactics.

But Isabel wanted more than that!

Although human beings can rely on the phalanx to make up for the lack of individual strength, but human physical strength is limited after all, and the tight phalanx is not suitable for long-term combat, even if it is a well-trained phalanx soldier, in the engagement with the enemy, will be deformed with the progress of the battle, which is inevitable.

So after the orcs filled the reserved clearing, Isabel squinted and waved his hand, and the red flag in the herald's hand waved loudly, and soon the few remaining terraces on the mountain wall also waved the red flag.

"Retreat! Withdraw! Withdraw! “

When the commanders saw the signal, they immediately roared loudly, and at the same time restrained the men who had killed the red eyes to retreat, three times in a row, their blockade circle expanded again, and more orcs would enter the clearing through the tunnel.

This was Isabelle's plan, she planned to ignite the fire oil reserved in the tunnel, so as to stop the enemy's further attack, give her soldiers some time to rest, and at the same time officially abandon this line of defense.

However, giving up so easily is not the character of the former queen, she plans to use the phalanx to limit the orcs to a certain encirclement, and gradually relax the encirclement to lure more orcs in.

It wasn't until the phalanx's alleged pressure reached its limit that she would order the oil to be lit to block the enemy's attack, and the orcs who had already entered the Red Ridge Mountain would become turtles in the urn!

"Retreat!"

The phalanx gradually stabilized from the retreating chaos, and Isabel looked at more and more orcs with a blank face, and slowly ordered.

The red banner waved again, the newly stable formation retreated again, and more orcs entered the Red Ridge Mountain.

"My lord! You can't go back anymore, so order the ignition of the oil! A herald said with some horror when he saw the orc warriors who were densely packed but whose range of movement was limited by the phalanx.

Retreating during battle, especially when there are more and more enemies, is a very dangerous move, and every time the phalanx retreats, the pressure will be greater. And retreat is not like advancing, retreat itself is a demoralizing thing, and if the soldiers do not execute it well, then a limited retreat will become a real rout!

But Isabel did not listen to the herald's dissuasion, and she kept an eye on the battlefield, watching every battle.

"The pressure is a bit more than expected." Isabel frowned, the orc warrior's hand-to-hand combat ability was much higher than that of the human soldier, and the pressure on the soldier at the moment was beyond her budget.

"Tell Luminas to shoot at will!" Isabel said.

The heralds departed, and soon, on the side of the mountain, a group of well-armed sharpshooters, no more than two thousand, and with great crossbows, appeared on the platform.

Luminas was extremely calm, and in an instant she had predicted the density of enemies below, and a long arrow was twisted from her fingers.

Bowing down the strings, he took a deep breath, the longbow in his hand was instantly pulled into a full moon in the twisting of the tooth-sore bowstring, the cold light in his eyes flashed, and he exhaled with hatred and shouted violently

"Die!"

The fingers were relaxed, the arrow was like a meteor, and the sharp arrow made a sharp whistling sound, as if ignoring gravity and the resistance of the air, and appeared in front of an orc commander under the mountainside like lightning......

"Poof!"

Under the huge tension, the sharp arrows easily pierced through the heavy armor of the orc commander, with an afterimage, the feather arrows slanted down from above without feathers, and the orc commander who was hit by the huge force did not even scream, as if he was hit by a giant hammer, he was suddenly knocked to the ground, and the blood mist gushing out sprinkled the faces of the surrounding orc warriors.

"Take my arrows as a benchmark, all of them have them, salvo!"

As soon as the shooting word came out, the well-trained marksmen who had already picked up the heavy crossbow pulled the trigger without hesitation, and the giant crossbow that had been adjusted to scatter mode instantly sent out three crossbow arrows, and thousands of arrows were like locusts covering the sky and the sun.

As if even the sunlight had been shunned, the dense crossbows slanted down with the rage of the invaders! The flight of different bows and arrows is slow. The lightning-fast crossbow bolts cleared a clearing in the crowd of beasts!

Watching the cleared clearing being filled by orcs again, listening to the sound of the crossbow machine winding in his ears, without any hesitation, after the first wave of arrows came out, Luminas, who was gasping for excitement because of the killing of the orcs, twisted out the arrows again, and with a well-trained and condescending marksman, he once again prepared the second wave of attacks......

The marksman's condescending blow succeeded in relieving the pressure on the spearmen, Isabel said in a deep voice

"Throw in a legion of champion swordsmen, and take the phalanx of spearmen back again!"

The firm and unquestionable order made the herald breath stagnant, and tried to dissuade him, but he did not have the courage to say it, so he had to sigh and wave the flag in his hand.

Soon, in a little confusion, the phalanx retreated again, but Isabel was keenly aware that even if there was a legion's champion swordsman who responded, the phalanx of spearmen was almost crumbling!

"Marshal!"

Even the guards around him began to get anxious.

"Ignition!"

Isabel glanced at the orcs who had entered the Red Ridge Mountain, and roughly there were at least two thousand! A satisfied smile appeared on her face.

Outside the fortress, Gul'dan waited for news of victory with his staff on his staff, when an orc ran past him and trampled on a puddle of water, the stirring droplets of water falling on his face, and the pungent smell of grease startled Gul'dan

"No—"
