Chapter 50: The Battle of the Town (1)
87_87410'Wow! Whew!' The ragged howls of the gnolls and kobolds rushed into the dreadnought's lines, and they were greeted by the dreadnoughts' swords and hammers.
The ferocity of the gnolls is only for the merchants who are besieged by them, in the face of the dreadnoughts, the gnolls who have no discipline at all are not opponents at all, and as for the kobolds, they are pure cannon fodder.
As soon as Pu fought, he saw patches of gnolls and kobolds fall under the dreadnoughts and long-range attacks, while the dreadnoughts themselves suffered only a few casualties.
As time goes on, more and more gnolls and kobolds die, which can't help but give some timid kobolds the idea of escaping, but behind them are the ruthless battle axes of the orcs.
At this time, Weis, the impatient Orc Commander of the Flame Blade, looked at the sky, and while shouting at the Gnolls for 'waste', he ordered his orc soldiers to join the attack on the town.
The attack power of the orcs is definitely a whole grade higher than that of the gnolls, and as soon as it appears, the pressure on the dreadnoughts will increase greatly, but at this time, every soldier of the dreadnoughts is also extremely fearless of death, because not only the dreadnought soldiers, but even the villagers in the rear know that in the face of the orcs who are far more numerous than themselves, there are only two outcomes to greet them, either life or death;
If you defeat more than twice as many orc soldiers as yourself, you can live, and if you can't withstand the attack of the orc soldiers, then die, don't even think about living, for the only hope left in your heart, so the soldiers are extremely desperate.
Raising his hand to block the axes of the two orc soldiers with the shield in his hand, Twilight's broadsword stabbed straight ahead, and he didn't know how many orcs fell in front of him.
Faced with the simple and chaotic attacks of the orcs and gnolls, Twilight is not worried that her troops will not be able to withstand it, because it is about to get dark, and the orcs are not good at night fighting, which is their shortcoming, as long as the orc command is not brainless, they will not continue to attack at night.
And just as Twilight expected, although the tactics of the Flame Blade Commander Wes were crude and rudimentary, and there was no beauty or art to speak of, he was not without brains, otherwise he would not have been a commander, and in the end, the Flame Blade Orcs left behind a piece of gnoll and kobold corpses, as well as a large number of orc corpses, and retreated with the wounded soldiers.
However, although the orcs have retreated, there is still a tough battle to be fought tomorrow, with two thousand against five thousand.
The next morning, as soon as the sky dawned, the Fireblade Orcs outside the town rushed to attack the Dreadnoughts again, while Twilight arranged for the soldiers to defend the fortifications in order to minimize the casualties of the soldiers.
In a head-on confrontation, the dreadnought soldiers with excellent armor and weapons were small in number but did not fall into much disadvantage, and the temporary fortifications built by using the terrain of the town well limited the orc soldiers and the remaining gnolls, preventing them from swarming up to besiege the dreadnought, while the dreadnought shooters and mages standing on the rooftops and in front of the windows in the rear, with a safe output environment, brought great damage to the orc soldiers.
As the commander of the Flame Blade Force, Wes also saw this situation, his own soldiers could not rush into the town in one go, only some of them could rush into the town to attack the human troops, and the orc soldiers who were blocked outside became a live target for long-range attacks, which couldn't help but make Wes a little angry.
"Fools, get around me and attack from the other side, a bunch of idiots." Wes said angrily.
Hearing Wes's order, some of the orcs split up as if they had just woken up from a dream and began to attack the other side of the town.
"General, the orcs have begun to attack the east side of the town."
"Emilio, take your men to fend off the orcs to the east." Twilight commands loudly.
"Yes!" Emilio immediately led his men to block the orcs on the other side.
And such a division of troops suddenly increased the pressure on the dreadnoughts, which was also a helpless thing, after all, the number of orcs was much more than that of the dreadnoughts.
As time passed, the corpses of the orcs were stacked on the ground, and more and more dreadnought soldiers fell to the ground, and during the killing, Twilight would look up from time to time to keep an eye on the surrounding battlefield, and if there was a strong attack on either side, he would rush over to support as soon as possible.
I don't know how long it took, but finally the first wave of the orc's attack was repulsed, which couldn't help but make the dreadnoughts breathe a sigh of relief, taking advantage of this opportunity Dawn Farsmeti and a few priests to begin to treat the wounded soldiers, one by one large recovery spells from Dawn Farsmeti's hands, golden light falling in pieces.
Just as the dreadnoughts were resting and distributing food, Twilight, who was standing at the front of the group, had a rare solemn face, because at this time there was another battle flag in the orc army, and it was a crescent moon battle flag.
"Howling Moon Orcs, why are they here to join in the fun?" Twilight said with a frown.
The clans of the orcs are not very peaceful with each other, and there are often wars when the entire orc clan is not unified, even if the orc clan is unified now, except for the clans that are friendly to each other, there will not be too many exchanges between other clans.
Although I don't understand how the Howling Moon Clan and the Flame Blade Clan came together, Twilight knows that her people are dangerous, and the Flame Blade Orcs lack long-range attacks, but the Howling Moon Orcs are the clan with the most shamans in the Orc Clan, and now the Dreadnought Army is already struggling to resist the attacks of the Flame Blade Orcs, if you add the number of Howling Moon Orcs who don't know how many now, this battle will be too difficult to fight, and they will probably all die here.
And while the other Dreadnought soldiers were also talking about the new Howling Moon Banner, there was also tension in the orc camp.
"Husser, what are you doing here? It doesn't seem like this is your jurisdiction anymore!" The tall orc Wes sat on the top of the big horn and said to the commander of the Howling Moon on the other side.
"Wes, I'm not here to quarrel with you, I'm here to complete the task ordered by the general." Huser said expressionlessly.
"What? You mean those humans are the human squads that attack your supplies?" Wes said as he pointed to the humans in the distant town, a mocking expression on his face.
Seeing Weiss's expression, Husse's face couldn't help but flash with anger, he knew that Weis, a bastard, thought that he couldn't find the team that attacked him, and he wanted to find a random human force to fill up.
"I followed the human team along the way, and that team must be among these people." Huser suppressed his anger and said.
"Hmph, no matter what you say, it's enough for us Flame Blade Warriors to deal with these human miscellaneous soldiers, and the Xiaoyue Clan will honestly watch from the sidelines." Weiss snorted lightly as he glanced at the team of only two thousand men that Husper had brought with him.
"You"
"Warriors of the Flame Blade, cheer me up and attack!" Weiss didn't give Husher a chance to continue talking, and directly ordered the Fireblade Orcs, who had just retreated not long ago, to attack again, leaving the wide-eyed Orc Husser.
