Chapter Eighty-Eight: The Battle of the "Falling Hammer" (4)

"All of them! Pick up the pace! Take the barracks in front! "In the center of the area where the orc prisoners of war are held inside the shelter, Old Don, who is fully armed like a mobile fortress, shook off his two long legs with a roar of rage and strode forward. Behind him were the gladiators who had just ransacked the arena armory. More than 300 armed gladiators wore armor and wielded sharp blades, and their menacing followers, Lao Tang, slaughtered the orc detention area closest to the arena.

Old Tang, who had already found out the information near this area, set the first target of the raid at the equipment warehouse in the arena from the beginning. As an armory dedicated to providing gladiators with equipment and weapons for competition, the inventory of equipment in the warehouse is not piled up, but it is more than enough to arm a small team of 300 people! The gladiators who have obtained the armor and equipment are also strengthened one by one, and the fierce and hideous aura is faintly revealed!

Perhaps it's because the massive siege of the orc armies outside the city attracts most people's attention; Maybe it's because the orc slaves in the shelter are so listless and walk-dead, but the humans have let their guard down, and there are very few guards guarding the arena and the prisoner of war camp! In short, until Old Tang led a group of gladiators who had long been unable to suppress their desire to fight and vengeful anger, they ransacked the armory, and did not encounter any decent resistance. Several teams of human patrols with more than a dozen people as small units were torn to pieces by the angry orc warriors without using Old Tang's shot!

Now, the gladiator team led by Old Tang is finally about to face a real challenge.

Ahead is an area where some orc slaves are kept. Only the able-bodied orcs were assigned here to do hard labor, doing heavy physical work in order to earn money to subsidize the expenses of the camp garrison. But this is just a rhetoric to the outside world, and there is a lot of moisture in it! Only a fraction of the wealth of the orc laborers was cashed in to the defenders, and most of it was stuffed into the pockets of the greedy managers of the asylum! Regardless, there are indeed tens of thousands of adult male orcs imprisoned here, repeating tedious but heavy tasks day and night.

But no matter how much the orcs lose their fighting spirit, they have no spirit like a doubles eggplant, this is still tens of thousands of young people! Even just in case or to maintain discipline, the managers of the shelter arranged an infantry brigade here. And now this human team of 1,200 people is blocking the path of the gladiators of Lao Tang and his party! If you want to free the orc slaves imprisoned in this area, there is no escape from this tough battle!

Staring at the human barracks not far away, staring at the human infantry phalanx that was already waiting in front of him, Old Tang was still a little bottomless to be honest.

What is following him at this moment is not the Minotaur Hundred Battles Elite that he brought out with his own hands! With such a huge disparity in numbers, it is not yet known how much combat effectiveness these gladiator teams that have cooperated with them for the first time will be able to exert themselves! Although the individual combat effectiveness of orc warriors is still one piece higher than that of humans, in the face of such a huge disparity in numbers, Old Tang doesn't dare to expect these gladiators to be able to compete with one as ten! After all, not everyone is like the Minotaur who is used to being outnumbered in battles between generations and centaurs! In the face of crowd tactics, you can also deal with it calmly, without pressure!

As to whether he and the orc warriors can win this battle, and whether the gladiators under his command can complete their mission, Lao Tang still does not have the slightest certainty! Although these battle-hardened gladiators all look extremely brave and rank a lot higher than their opponents, the battle on the battlefield is not a simple numbers game!

Even if a hero-level master is not careful, he will capsize in the gutter and be killed by an old farmer who has no power to tie the chicken and fall! Strength and rank in the magical land of Azeroth do not mean a qiΔ“! Maybe the first battle to greet Old Tang will be the first rout since the crossing! But it has come to this point, and it is like an arrow on the string that has to be sent! This battle must be fought and won! Otherwise, as soon as the high morale drops now, this mission can be judged to be a complete failure in advance! Since Lao Tang counted, one in the team is counted as one, and today they all have to be folded here!

But fortunately, at the beginning of the battle, the team led by the orc gladiators dispelled Old Tang's doubts and uneasiness, and the scene that Old Tang was worried about did not happen!

Contrary to the expectations of the Alliance officers and Old Tang, from the moment the two armies of the warring sides came into contact, the smaller gray-green phalanx continued to advance, split, gather, and advance again! And the silver-white phalanx, which is several times the number of opponents, does not have the slightest, on the contrary, the forwards of the thick silver-white phalanx are constantly shrinking, splitting, retreating, and gradually being eaten away by gray-green! These gladiators, who have learned rich combat experience from life-and-death duels again and again, are extremely brave and fearless in battle! The weapon in your hand is like an arm command, and the knife is bloody!

With Lao Tang's order, more than two hundred and forty orc warriors swept into the opposite crowd like a sudden green whirlwind, and immediately knocked down a large area of the dense infantry phalanx, swords and axes were swung, and heavy hammers swept through! Blood splatters, broken tendons! The miserable screams and howls sounded one after another on the battlefield!

And the assault force composed of more than thirty tall and strong ogres was personally led by Old Tang, and went straight to the center of the human infantry brigade on the opposite side and charged violently! There, a military flag of Fort Riptide was erected; There, the commander of this human infantry is commanding his men to stabilize the defensive line!

Old Tang decided to capture the thief and capture the king first!

The amount of human flesh is not comparable to that of orcs and dwarves, and it is far from powerful races such as minotaurs and ogres; Humans are not as gifted in magic as the Night Elves of the Children of Nature, let alone the High Elves, the darlings of the arcane; Even with the conformity and faith in the Light, most of the ordinary people were pulled away by the Draenei with the help of the Naru! But why is such a nation one of the two most powerful races in Azeroth? Why would such a race become the mainstay of the Great League? Why are human forces among the world's strongest in Azeroth? Population and skills are only one aspect, for the in-depth study of tactics and military formations, strict discipline and tacit cooperation are the key!

Humans, who are unique in the world in terms of army formation, unity and cooperation, when fighting in the Great Army, even if they encounter an orc army with similar strength, the possibility of victory is also five or five! Now in the face of this human infantry brigade in front of him, only by paralyzing its command first can he have a chance of winning!

Just as the two sides were fighting, the orc slaves in the prisoner of war camp behind the human army formation also began to move! More and more orcs in the camp are stepping out of their dilapidated shelters and into the wooden fences that restrict their freedom of movement! There were faint sounds of quarrels and roars coming from the orc crowd, and these voices were getting louder and louder!

The shouts, roars, and clamor on the battlefield covered out a qiΔ“, and the soldiers on both sides in the melee no longer cared about the changes in the situation and the dangers hidden in it. All they could do was roar at each other, thrust their weapons into each other's bodies as best they could, and try to dodge the blades that were being stabbed at them from the other side.

In the face-to-face, face-to-face confrontation, the enemy's face and expression are infinitely magnified in his own eyes, sweat mixed with blood swaying in front of his eyes, and he can't tell whether it is the enemy's blood or his own blood. The blind, mechanical wave of the hand became the only reflection of the soldiers, and the shouts, wails, and shrill commands became the only melody on the battlefield, either to bring the enemy down or to be put down by the enemy......

"Quick, go and ask the garrison for help, everyone is scattered, go and ask for help!" The human major who commanded the more than 1,000 light infantry stationed here had sweat on his forehead, and the small group of orcs on the opposite side was unexpectedly brave and difficult. Since the battle, the soldiers under his command have shown their declining momentum, and the garrison troops, which are several times the number of the opponent, have been faintly pressed and beaten by the opponent! And those big ogres, led by the unknown figure tightly wrapped in armor, quickly approached the center of the team, and looked like they were about to capture the flag!

Seeing that the situation was not good, he hurriedly called his subordinates to go and ask for help.

Soon, several soldiers ran to the stable at the gate of the camp in a panic, and immediately turned over on their horses with a few spare horses. At this time, there was already an abnormality in the camp, and it seemed that there was some confusion, but a few soldiers could not manage so much, and after just one glance, they shook their whips and slapped their horses' buttocks, and rushed towards the camp of the Riptide Castle garrison regiment at the city gate......

Just as Old Tang led more than 300 gladiators to attack the human infantry phalanx that quadruple with his side, another fierce collision under the walls of the shelter was about to be staged.

"Open the gates! The Knights attack! Old Field Marshal Joseph Tarocca waved his arm sharply and gave the battle order in a loud voice. A few guards and heralds quickly ran down the tower to convey the marshal's order to their robes!

"Open the gates! The Knights attack! ”

"Open the gates! The Knights attack! ”

The surging army of orcs made many recruits who had just joined the army turn pale with horror!

Faced with such a situation, as the supreme commander of the human defenders here, Marshal Joseph Tarocca finally had to decide to dispatch his strongest force in advance, five thousand heavily armed knights! Try to deter the orcs and boost your morale at the same time! Tell the truth to those recruits, orcs are also flesh and blood, they can be killed just as well, nothing to fear! Otherwise, I'm afraid it won't be long before the recruits in the legion lose the will to fight! Even if these elite cavalry are dispatched again by then, it will not help!

With the order of the old marshal, the heavy city gate slowly opened, and more than 5,000 cavalry in armor poured out of the open city gate in an orderly manner! The human knights who galloped towards the orc army like the tide of the sea, the silver armor they wore reflected the faint morning light, and glowed with a large dazzling light, almost illuminating the dim heaven and earth on this side.

"Humph! Heavy cavalry of human cubs! Grom Hell Roar was driving the black wolf under his seat to gallop at the front of the green wave, looking at this scene with a somewhat solemn heart, but his face was snorting with disdain.

"Grom! Bring all the wolf cavalry and pester them for me! Whatever you do! Don't let them storm the home of the great army! "The Great Chief of the Horde, Orgrim*, led his people and soldiers to deal with these human heavy cavalry during the two orc wars! As a brilliant and experienced commander, the Hammer of Destruction naturally does not underestimate the power of the human heavy cavalry.

However, he is also convinced that his good lads will bring him victory! Back then, even in the face of the Royal Knights of the Stormwind Kingdom and the Lordaeron Kingdom led by those paladins in the Silver Hand, the two sides were victorious and defeating each other! The orc wolf cavalry is not afraid of any challenge!

"Warriors of the tribe, charge with me! Give those fans a little bit of power and see! "Hell roared, and the reins of the wolf under his crotch roared like thunder! He took the lead in galloping out of the orc army formation, holding his battle axe "blood roar" high and roaring in the sky:

"For the Horde! Lok-tarogar!!! ”

"For the Horde! Lok-tarogar!!! "Thousands of orcs and wolf knights followed their heroes, raised their heads and let out a roar of battle, and slaughtered the army array wildly. Nearly six thousand orc wolf cavalry gathered into a violent green wave and swarmed towards their opponents, as if they were about to sweep away!

Loud shouts and roars, resounding through the four fields!

At this time, the distance between the human knights and the orc wolf cavalry was about 1,200 yards.

"All of them...... Pick up the gun and move forward in broken steps! With the order of the middle-aged paladin, General Duzel, the commander of the heavy cavalry unit of the human legion, the five thousand heavy knights neatly took off the steel spears hanging on their horses as long as two meters and three, and led the majestic horses to trot neatly in broken steps.

When the distance between the two sides was close to about five hundred yards, the final order was given.

"All of them, raise their guns ......" Paladin Duzel's order had just been shouted, and with a "boom", the steel spears carried by the five thousand knights of the Heavy Cavalry Regiment were all raised upward, the barrels of the guns clamped under their armpits, and the sharp spear heads that flashed with cold light pointed obliquely at the sky.

The two armies were advancing against each other, and in less than a moment they were already colliding head-to-head. In front of the two armies of human knights and orc wolf cavalry, people suddenly turned on their backs!

The impact of the war horse is far from that of the Kodomon; The explosive power of the war horse is not as good as that of a wolf! But why are human cavalry so famous? Why should even the orc wolf cavalry avoid the edge for the time being? Here's why! When thousands of heavily armed iron horsemen raised their spears and charged in formation, the powerful momentum that rushed to the face could never be experienced by those who had not personally experienced it or dealt with it in person! Even the bravest soldiers will chill from the bottom of their hearts, and even the most fearless warriors will cringe! It's not about courage, it's just a simple instinctive reaction of living beings!

Knights on both sides are constantly piercing the bodies of their enemies with spears and battle axes, chopping off their heads, or watching their own bodies being impaled and mutilated by their enemies! Fierce steel clashes wave after wave, and the tremendous impact of the human heavy cavalry is inflicting blood and death at an astonishing rate. After sprinting into the enemy line, the human knights threw away the spears that skewered the corpses of the enemy in their hands, drew their swords and sabers, and began to slash and slash at close range!

When the horses of the two sides completely collided and staggered, the wild charging speed of the war horses was gradually canceled out and slowly decreased. At this time, in the chaotic battlefield, the knight's spear was useless, and everyone began to draw their melee weapons and fight. And at this time, the dominant one was replaced by the side of the orcs and wolf knights!

The explosive wolf wolf flickered and moved in a small space, fluttering and biting! Sharp claws and sharp teeth, do everything you can, find the chest, abdomen and neck of the war horse! The orc warriors who survived from the dense spears like a forest also wielded the sharp axes and hammers in their hands, and they were furious and brave, and they were not afraid of death! Each swing of the tomahawk brings with it a handful of blood and severed arms; Every time a warhammer sweeps, the opponent's bones will be broken! Death and carnage are still happening, only this time it was the underdog who had the upper hand!

In such a hand-to-hand situation, the orc wolf knights who had just been suppressed slowly gained the upper hand, and after paying a heavy price of blood and lives, they reduced the impact of the human heavy cavalry, entangled their opponents to the death, and completed the mission given to them by the Great Chief!

The warriors of the tribe defend the glory with their blood!

The first orc general, Grom * Hellroar, is strong and powerful, and his martial arts are superb! Entering the crowd of human heavy cavalry, he swept with an axe in both hands, and the three human cavalrymen in front of him fell off their horses and fell to the ground, and the spears and swords in their hands were all broken on the spot!

A human cavalry lieutenant, confident of his strength, brandished his great sword straight into the chest of Hell's Roar, and shouted, "Suffer death, Greenskin! ”

Hearing this, the roar of hell suddenly opened its mouth and roared at the human, and its sound was like thunder, like a landslide! The human lieutenant heard a buzzing sound in his ears, and his eyes flashed into Venus, and he was swept off his horse by the equally frightened warhorse, and collapsed to the ground. That's why he's called Hellroar! A terrifying roar from the abyss of hell, terrifying!

"Hahaha!" Grom Hell roared and looked up to the sky and laughed, dancing again with a sharp and hideous blood roar in the crazy rush of the human race, no one could stop him for a moment, and the bloody and wild heroic momentum that belonged to him made him like a scorching sun in the battlefield, dazzling and bright that people dare not look directly! The roar of hell pierced the air around it, nearly drowning out the roars of humans and the thud of horses' hooves.

Just as hell roared and slaughtered in all directions, on the walls of the asylum, the old marshal Joseph Taroka had a solemn face. The situation has deviated from the expected track, and the hoplite cavalry, who is regarded as the elite of their trump cards, is entangled by the wolf cavalry of the orcs, and as time goes by, I am afraid that the casualties will become more and more large, until they can no longer afford it! Every great boy's sacrifice is bleeding from his heart!

But it's not just the strength of the opponent that worries the old marshal even more, it's the fact that the Horde looks like a new breed and is eager to take on any challenge!

The battle for the Arathi asylum is intensifying!

Sad afternoon on wow... At night, the code word was in a hurry, and I didn't catch up... Urging the change ticket~~~ I don't have a chance....

In the book review area, I saw that some book friends said that Lao Tang's participation in the rescue of the orcs would expose his identity as a traverser~~~~ because Dian Niang was still convulsing~~~ I couldn't reply~~~ I will simply explain it outside the text~~

It's no secret that the orcs are ready to rescue their own people, and the human beings, including Blackmore himself, know ~~~ The only thing that is uncertain is that the orcs will attack which stronghold! So there is no concealment and secrecy at all about the orcs attacking the shelter~~~ I have foreshadowed it at least twice before~~ Once the goblin innkeeper in Ratchet City knew that there were orcs escaping from prison~~~ That was the side of the sea! The second is that the human race has transferred troops to strengthen the garrison, and isn't the current legion guarding the shelter transferred later? Therefore, the argument that Lao Tang leaked the identity of the traverser in front of the orcs is not valid~~ There is no zΓ i to spy on the military intelligence~~~

Today's reply to the comment still said that the post failed~~ I don't know what's going on~~~ It can only be attributed to the uncomfortable days of every month~~~ The book review area can't reply for the time being, everyone is more patient~~~

And thank you for the generous rewards of several book friends~~~~ Thank you for your support~~~

Well, the day after tomorrow~~ I may have to go back to school to hand in my papers~~~~ I guess I have to take a car for an afternoon~~ I will be late when I get to school~~~ I haven't decided exactly what day it is~~~ I should stop for a day that day, and I will definitely make up for it the next day~~~ The best thing is that I suddenly have an extra yard tomorrow....There are no such things~~~ Actually, I have a thick chapter ~~~Most of them are around 5000~~~ There are also individual 7000~~~ Compared to the 3-k party, I am kind... It's true... Hey~~
