Chapter 60: The Attack of the Gnolls (Part 2)
The orc legion that plans to leave with a single vote will naturally not use the original plundering mode to disperse the vassal races and attack human villages and towns!
In order to form a force crush on the human villages and towns, the orc commander simply gathered the main battle tribal warriors of the vassal race, such as the kobolds, who were not very effective vassal races, were completely reduced to miscellaneous personnel and transport brigades, so this time, Lei Zihao saw an army composed entirely of main battle gnolls!
The overwhelming smoke and dust confirmed that the number of attacking jackals was beyond imagination, and when the army of jackals stopped and confronted Lei Zihao's men and horses who had left the town, Lei Zihao found that the gnolls had concentrated more than 3,000 troops this time!
This is a gnoll man who is two meters tall and whose strength and speed are not weaker than that of a regular human soldier!
The kind of kobold soldier who is equivalent to a second-class cripple of a human being, Lei Zihao didn't see any of it!
As always, the Gnoll Legion does not have any armor on its body, and it is said that after the Orc Legion breaks through the cities of humans and other races, they will return the armor and shields of these defeated races to retrain their iron-making equipment, and the iron-making technology of the Orc Empire is not much worse than that of humans!
The Orc Empire did this mainly to recycle as much iron as possible and use it to craft weapons that didn't require much iron!
It is well known that armor and iron shields use far more iron than offensive weapons such as swords, and of course, there are very few shields made of real iron, which is too luxurious......
Moreover, the shield made of all iron must weigh it!
Originally, it was high enough to wear armor and carry weights, and with a big iron shield, did you really think you had the physique of an orc?!
The commonly used iron shields are all made of special wood on the outside, and the inside is made of special wood......
As for the Pyrrhos, who don't have much presence......
Heheda~~~
The main combat class of the Orc Empire is a cannon fodder clan that doesn't feel distressed about how much death is - half-orcs, naturally, cannon fodder doesn't need armor such as shields and armor, what a waste!
All it takes is a weapon to chop or smash someone!
Therefore, the standard configuration of the half-orc warrior is the one-handed giant axe for orcs who can cut and smash people!
A real great axe, oh for humans......
As for the weapons of humans and other races that were captured, the Orc Empire did not rebuild them, and these weapons, which were a bit light for the Orcs, were distributed by the Orc Empire to the vassal main battle groups that the Orcs had snapped out, such as the Gnolls!
If the number is not enough, the blacksmiths of the Orc Empire will replace them with the most economical cold weapons, and only need a spear with an iron spear head......
Therefore, the orc's vassal main battle clan is also 'heroic' cannon fodder who doesn't need any armor and shields!
It can be said that among the armies of all races in this world, the armies of the Orc Empire are the most 'cool' with the equipment......
Well, the gnolls don't have any clothes on......
Is nakedness, body, or something the mainstream trend in this world?
Thanks to those gnolls, the crotch of his pants was covered with rags, otherwise, thinking about these gnolls fighting while birds were flying around, Lei Zihao felt like he had a toothache......
Looking at it, the weapons in the Gnoll Legion are extremely casual, Lei Zihao is very suspicious that the commander of the Gnoll Legion is full of excrement in his head, even if you are limited by conditions, you can only use the remaining scum and cheap spears that have been captured, at least you can list the front team and the back team according to the different weapons, and prepare the center......
Even I, an ancient military half-hung general, knew that the spearmen should gather to form a phalanx!
What is the situation of these gnolls soldiers, those with machetes and those with spears, huddled together and chattering, are you arranging and combining military formations according to special relationships?!
Lei Zihao only had to look at it and find out the details of the gnolls, they didn't have even the slightest military common sense, even the peasant rebels were stronger than them!
I'm afraid, these gnolls rely on instinct and personal fighting to fight......
The war mode was regarded as a personal competition mode by the gnolls, and it is no wonder that the orc empire has a huge amount of cannon fodder, but it has been suppressed by all races in the world......
I don't know if it's because this group of gnoll legions is not taken seriously by the real orcs, or because the orthodox orcs in the orc empire are really so scarce that they can't even send a commander with brains!
However, the enemy's stupidity is his own advantage, and in general, Lei Zihao is still very satisfied with this group of stupid gnolls without a line, at least, those Pylos prisoners of war cannon fodder should not be defeated by the model of a rabble like jackals......
I hope so......
Lei Zihao's military formation belonged to a standard field formation, with Qin crossbowmen and Wei Wushu holding crossbows in the first line, and a crooked Pilos prisoner of war version of the spear phalanx standing behind them......
All four battalions of Pylos POWs were placed on the front of the front line!
The second line was armed with two battalions of more than 1,000 men, using a castrated version of the Greek heavy infantry phalanx......
The third line was the Spartan General's Guard, which was in reserve......
There are no two wings, because the 2,000 people on the front line are enough to stretch the battlefield sideways for a long enough distance, besides, Lei Zihao is very suspicious that the multi-class gnoll army on the opposite side knows the 'difficult' military common sense of flank raids......
Lei Zihao remembered that when he faced the kobold attack for the first time, those supervising jackals rushed into the spear formation head-on in a daze, and then were tortured and killed in various ways!
Lei Zihao compared the gnolls with the half-orcs in his mind, and was surprised to find that the gnolls' brains seemed to be smarter than the half-orcs.
It's just that it doesn't seem to make much sense to compare idiots with brainlessness......
Perhaps, the advantage of the gnolls over the half-orcs in terms of IQ is the reason why they don't have a fox demon commander in their military array......
Or is it a vassal race that belongs to the same half-orcs, and the fox demon commands the gnolls?
In Lei Zihao's field of vision, an extra tall gnoll, wielding a one-handed giant axe dedicated to a half-orc warrior rare in the Gnoll Legion, whined at the chaotic Gnoll Legion for a long time, and finally ended the 'pre-war speech', and then, made a move that everyone understands!
Raised the one-handed giant axe and pointed at Lei Zihao's military formation from afar!
"Woo woo ~ woo woo woo ......"
With the whoop of swarms responding, the battle began......
"Sure enough, it's still a swarm of barbarian sprints that are universal in the whole universe......" Lei Zihao couldn't help but complain when he looked at the scene of the wolf rushing to the pig. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
