Chapter 40: Engaging the Enemy

Although the enemy did not have many rangers, Sharif decided to expose the dire wolves in advance and drive them away. www.biquge.info Although this will make the dire wolf consume physical strength and affect the final pursuit, it is better than the phalanx being broken by the enemy.

The best thing to do is to put the reserves down on the flanks of the phalanx and act as a protective layer for the phalanx. But Sharif did not dare, he was afraid that in the face of the enemy's bow and arrow, these soldiers who had only undergone simple training would collapse!

Although the enemy only had twenty or thirty horsemen, could these recruits endure endless damage? And it's still a damage that can only be beaten and can't fight back! I'm afraid it won't be long before these reserves collapse!

In order to save resources, Xiao Yi only gave these reserve troops the most basic discipline training, and the battle formation and martial arts were not taught at all, anyway, after entering the garrison battalion, in just one week, these recruits who don't know anything will become an elite! So why do you have to invest energy and materials to train them in the early stage?

It turned out that Sharif thought the same way, but now he understood! You can't fully count on the magical barracks! If the reserve army of 500 men was a well-trained soldier equipped with simple armor and shields, he would be able to ignore the enemy Rangers!

After giving the order for the Dire Wolves to attack, Sharif shouted to the scouts, "Go and act with the Direwolves!" Let's see if we can fix them! Chop Pieces! ”

Ignoring the scouts, Sharif continued to order: "Sentinel Legion advances!" ”

"Tell the commander of the shooter regiment! I don't want a spell to fall on my phalanx! Sharif said to the herald!

Then he turned to Christine and said, "You go and help keep an eye on the reserves!" When these gnolls are dealt with, I will definitely train them hard! ”

The wolf dog trainer led a large herd of dire wolves to disperse the enemy's few rangers before the phalanx moved, and kept them far from the battlefield.

The exposed dire wolves are no longer lurking, but like hunting wolves, constantly wandering outside the battlefield, waiting for the moment when the enemy leaks a flaw.

Because of the appearance of a large number of dire wolves, the pursuing gnolloll infantry was a little flustered, but they quickly regained their fighting spirit and rushed towards the sentry phalanx without stopping. These stupid creatures are more likely to defeat "weak" enemies first than more numerous reserves.

"Drink!" Like the rushing waves of the sea, the gnolls quickly crashed into the phalanx!

These were more powerful than all the gnolls they had encountered before, and most of them used heavy weapons, and their furious charge caused the entire phalanx to sink in one piece, but soon the phalanx was back to normal.

The screams of the gnolls dying and the dull sound of weapons and shields colliding made the atmosphere of the battlefield somewhat miserable.

"What's that!" A herald shouted in amazement, pointing to the end of the gnoll line.

Sharif looked up, several fat men who were more than three meters tall, gray-brown skin, wearing horned helmets, and covered with metal armor at key points, were recklessly knocking away the gnolls and charging towards the phalanx!

They were either armed with giant axes or huge maces, and in order to be able to impact the phalanx, they did not care about the death of friendly gnolls, and wherever they passed, all the gnolls were knocked to pieces!

"That damn scout hasn't seen anything yet!" Sharif was almost blown up, the Rangers didn't detect it, and he could understand it. After all, there is no difference between cavalry and infantry without riding a mount.

But this tall monster stands out from the crowd compared to the gnolls who are not as tall as humans! How could you not find out!

Just as Sharif was stunned, these monsters collided with the phalanx. They were much more literate than the scattered gnolls, and the monsters gathered together were like a hot butter knife.

Easily rushed into the sentry phalanx, known as the master of defense! He even almost split the already shaken sentry phalanx in two!

"Stop them!" Sharif clenched the long sword in his hand and roared angrily!

These monsters are like barbarian ogres in armor! It's just that they're more powerful and agile. The small team that knows how to cooperate with each other convinces Sharif that they are highly intelligent and not stupid ogres!

And what he didn't know was that this creature was an ogre, a monster that invaded with the orcs!

Except for Sharif and Christine, who was guarding the reserves, all the remaining seven guards had already taken over the ogre, who had just penetrated the phalanx, and the guards, who were not superior in numbers, immediately fell into a bitter battle.

And after the sentry phalanx was cut through, a large number of gnolls split them into two pieces!

Fortunately, these soldiers who have been trained by the garrison battalion are elite enough, although they are a little flustered, although they are divided into two, they still stick firmly together with their comrades, raise the shields in their hands and drink spears to resist the attack of the jackals!

Without the help of the tank-like ogre, the gnolls' attacks could not penetrate the sentinels who were scattered into two pieces, and when the sentinels regained their rhythm, the gnolls were suppressed again, and these elite soldiers slowly squeezed the living space of the gnolls who rushed into the formation! Gradually, the two phalanxes reunited!

When the sentinels gathered again, the gnolls who rushed into formation were slaughtered! The erected shield firmly keeps the army of the gnolls out once again! And the ogres, who had been drawn away from the rear of the phalanx by the guards, became alone.

Although they still pressed the guards to fight, the guards who formed the battle formation were able to hold them back! The fierce attack makes these tall monsters dare not take it lightly, the monsters' powerful attacks, there will always be guards who are good at defense to take over, the guards can't end the battle quickly, but they can be evenly matched with the ogres!

A cloud of lightning burst out in the distance, and the enemy's mage called the shaman had just emerged when he was sniped by the crossbowmen! Crossbow bolts with the sound of a strong wind hit their lightning shields! The shamans who gathered together to be able to cast spells better were shot by a small number of shooters!

Most of the shamans, who numbered only 7 in just one round of shooting, were blown out of their shields! Before they could recover from their horror, a rain of arrows struck and pinned the shamans to the ground along with their guards! Although many shamans did not die immediately, they fell to the ground and wailed, and they can no longer pose a threat to anyone!

The situation gradually improved after the crossbowmen dealt with the shamans. After removing the enemy's mage threat, Sharif breathed a sigh of relief, and said to the herald beside him:

"Order the Dire Wolf Force to strangle the enemy! And always be ready to pursue the enemy! ”

After thinking about it, he said: "Let Lord Christine organize the manpower, lead the reserve army to attack in uniform, and break the enemy's fighting spirit!" Let him control the casualties! ”
