Chapter 0290: The Battle of Rohan (9)
"Roar~!!"
In the battlefield of the valley mouth of the Holy Helmet that was full of black-red condensed blood, a strong orc whose left arm had been broken by a bullet was clutching its large knife with a hook, revealing its hideous fangs and bloody faces, and let out a terrible roar at the sky.
Although it did not understand what the enemy had done, it did not admit defeat!
The name of the orc, Zaghrag, had just barely managed to crawl out of the pile of corpses, and then it was surprised and sad to find that their army of nearly 10,000 strong orcs, those iron party formations with super-long spears, and sword and shield party formations had all fallen here, in this huge area about two hundred to eight hundred yards away from the front of the enemy's formation.
"Roar~!!"
Zageragher couldn't remember exactly what had just happened, and the roar continued......
It was originally the leader of the Sword and Shield Phalanx, in charge of a full hundred and fifty-five strong orc sword and shield ironclad soldiers under its command. It was the strongest of their group of orcs, so it was no surprise that it was the captain and would lead its own team in this battle and be at the forefront of its own team!
Prior to this, during the assault on Fort Clarion, Zagerag's team was left behind, so they were not assigned any combat missions, and because of this, they were not able to snatch any stumps and severed arms in the feast of the troops in front, which made them very unhappy after marching for days, but they could only eat those maggots!
Fortunately, however, just as they were about to squeeze into the walls of Horn Fortress to see if they could find a corpse or two from the ruins on the outskirts to open meat and replenish some meat, there was an unfamiliar sound of trumpets behind them.
Then Zagrad was surprised to find out: in the direction of the mouth of the Valley of the Holy Helm, there was a group of stupid human soldiers blocking their back road? So, along with the other orcs, Zagerag was ordered to attack the opponent's ridiculously sparse formation and resolutely destroy those stupid enemies!
They didn't spend much time outside the walls of Fort Clarion, and then they couldn't wait to press in the direction of the valley mouth!
As he marched, Zagrad yelled excitedly at his men, and at the same time did not forget to explain to them: later, no matter what, they will take the time to grab a few enemy corpses for their squad and improve the recent bad army food!
Since the enemy didn't seem to be strong, in order to grab enough benefits, Zagragg had fought for a front position for his squad, and he had been complacent about his wise decision.
At first, Zagerrag felt very strange, because as their large force approached the strange human force four or five hundred yards in front of the formation, the other party still did not make the slightest movement, still fiddling with the strange ...... in their hands Iron bars?
Although, Zagerag himself felt a little puzzled, wondering what the new group of enemies with no armor and no blades wanted to do? However, that doesn't diminish its longing for the meat and killing that is coming!
So, when their vanguard came within three hundred yards of the enemy, Zagrag began to raise his shield in excitement and shouted loudly, because it was now very close, and it planned to let his men with him, start to accelerate and charge, and directly crush the little human ladies who were not far away!
At that time, the other strong orc phalanxes walking in the front row did the same, three hundred yards away, they only needed twenty or thirty breaths to rush through, and then, fiercely break their formation, cut off their heads, and then, eat them again?
They are better at this, they don't need to waste time cleaning up the battlefield and burying or burning corpses like those stupid humans, they usually eat the enemy directly on the winning side!
Even if it's the same kind of people who die in battle on their own side, it's also - eat! So, it's not unreasonable that the morale of their strong orcs is relatively high, at least, they don't need to be sad about the death of their comrades at all, but will they be happy? Because, a companion who dies in battle means that after the battle, they will have an extra source of meat and one less competitor to share?
However, what Zagrag may never have imagined was that the end result would be the scene in front of him.
It remembered that as it held its shield aloft and began to shout loudly to boost its morale and prepare to speed up its charge, the strange people on the other side, the first row of their ribbon battle line, which had divided into five rows, actually raised their iron rods at them?
Then, when bursts of fire and smoke erupted from the mouth of the iron rod in the opponent's hand, Zagrag heard the ensuing explosion and found that his left arm and shield had been directly knocked out. Then, he felt as if something had grazed its head armor, causing it to instantly go black and fall down......
"No...... No!!! ”
Finally, when Zagerag regained consciousness and came to his senses, and struggled to crawl out of the pile of corpses with one of his remaining hands, it found only the scene in front of it: their strong orcs, countless corpses in pitch-black plate armor, all lying here in silence, on the wilderness at the mouth of the Valley of the Holy Helm......
It had just looked around, and at this point, the corpses of their companions, which were supposed to be their companions, were still about two hundred yards away from the enemy, and more were lying in an area of three hundred to eight hundred yards with their backs to the enemy!
Obviously, when they charged before, they failed to rush in front of the enemy's formation, and they had already broken up...... They shamefully gave their backs to the enemy......
"Kill you! Zagerag is going to kill you! ”
After the great fear and grief, there is endless madness!
"Kill you...... Eat your ......"
So, with his only remaining right hand, Zaghrag grabbed a large knife with a sharp hook on the ground, his face covered in blood, and roared viciously with a beastly roar from his mouth, and walked towards the formation of the enemy in the distance, who seemed to have not yet cleared the smoke of gunpowder......
“……”
The battle has been over for a long time, and Queen Orfina, who is standing in front of the battle on a unicorn, has not ordered to clean up the battlefield, because there are more enemies in the distance!
So, they just stood in their respective positions for a long time, began to urgently charge or check their weapons, and looked at the corpses of the nearly 10,000 strong orc troops that they had crushed.
Except for a few lucky ghosts who fell behind and were able to escape back to Fort Clarrum, all the other strong orcs who launched the attack fell here......
Occasionally, three or two strong orcs who got up from the pile of corpses and tried to escape for their lives were also killed by their marksmen one by one, and they did not escape far.
However, it was the first time that Orfina had seen a strong orc like the one in front of her, not only did she not run after the other party was seriously injured, but she dared to copy the guy and walk step by step towards her battle line?
This made her feel a little interested, so instead of ordering her men to shoot, she let them go within a two-hundred-yard area.
"Lend me your weapon, soldier!"
At this moment, when Orfina saw that the strong orc soldier was still roaring, staggering towards her side step by step and began to charge with her weapon held high, she finally smiled, directly attached herself to the unicorn's back, and snatched the Mini rifle from the hand of one of the soldiers beside her, whose barrel was faintly hot.
After making sure that it was loaded, she slung her gun over her shoulder and began to aim at the strong orc soldier who was still staggering and rushing towards her.
Whether the other party was brave or stupid, Orfina had already decided: this time, she would take it upon herself to give the other party a decent death?
So when the mechanical crosshair of the Minnie rifle in her hand was on the ugly and hideous head of the opponent, Orfina gently pulled her index finger.
"Smack!"
When the fire sickle hit the edge of the medicine pool, a pile of sparks appeared, and then the gunpowder in the medicine pool burst into flames after hitting the sparks, and after a crisp gunshot, the medicine pool and the muzzle on the right side of the side spewed out a burst of fire and gunsmoke at the same time, blocking Ofina's vision, making her have to squint slightly.
But she could still clearly see that the head of the strong orc in the distance exploded like a corrupted black watermelon, and the iron helmet of the other party also shattered into two pieces at the same time and flew out! At this time, the headless corpse of the other party's neck, which was almost completely shattered, finally fell to the ground after shaking slightly twice......
Actually, this little orc leader called Zaghrag is already quite remarkable! Because, among the 10,000 strong orcs just now, it was the closest to the red-backed gold-edged vulture banner in front of the Alicia United Kingdom musketeer battle line!
It's a glorious thing to die in the closest place to the enemy, isn't it?
"Huh! It seems that their strong orcs are finally starting to get anxious......"
After handing the musket that had been knocked out of her hand to the admiring musketeer beside her, Ofina looked into the distance with great interest.
Outside the walls of the Horn Fortress, countless orc troops began to be driven out of the Horn Fortress by their generals and began to assemble directly outside the walls.
Soon, they formed a large and tight phalanx, and the phalanx was only separated by one or two people from each other, so that when the Alician soldiers in the distance looked at it, they felt densely packed, like a large group of man-eating black ants that were gathering together.
"Groyin! Have you set up your artillery positions?! ”
After estimating that the enemy should have a long time before maintaining the abbot's order and lining up the formation, Orfina didn't look any further, and rode her horse backwards, ran to the artillery array on the high ground, and shouted to the dwarf Groyin who was building an artillery position.
Just now, because those strong orcs came up too fast, she didn't count on those slow artillerymen. And now, once the tens of thousands of strong orcs and denlanders rushed at her, it was necessary for her to let the artillerymen suppress and demoralize the enemy, so as to reduce some of the pressure on the musketeers.
"It's ready, Your Majesty, please relax!"
Groyin, who was carefully stuffing a large round iron ball into the chamber of the cannon, hurriedly waved his hand and shouted, signaling that their artillery position had been constructed and loaded.
"Now, if you give the order, we can even bombard their strong orcs' big position outside the castle right now!"
After estimating the distance between the two sides, the old dwarf Gloyin felt that the formation of those strong orcs was densely arranged, and they probably didn't need to deliberately aim, just hit it casually, and it was estimated that they could pull out a long line of flesh and blood, right?
He calculated, if they didn't miss, they only needed one salvo, and after thirty shells were over, they could kill at least a few hundred or thousands of strong orcs? There was nothing more powerful than to play in such a dense formation, and before that, they had only hit the gates or bombarded the walls!
————
On the side of the mountain fortress of Fort Clarrum, now, the strong orcs who were originally banging on the door have run out of the parapet wall, they are in too haste, and even abandon the huge crashing log directly on the edge of the stone bridge outside the door.
And now within the walls of Hornfort, except for the thousands of Denlanders who are still wreaking havoc or trying to find a way to enter the mountain fortress, there are only a handful of orc troops left to hover inside.
At this time, in the mountain fortress, in this hall, the generals and soldiers or refugee doors who had been thinking about the ranking of the Alicia Kingdom before were incredulous and talked about it, had all collectively silenced!
While they were now excited by the arrival of powerful reinforcements from their own side, they were also instinctively terrified of the terrible weapons that would emit fire and explode like the sound of bamboo!
"Aragonese ......"
After thinking about it, Xiyoton finally spoke with difficulty.
"You've been traveling around Middle-earth for so many years, have you ever seen a weapon that emits fire and smoke? Or ...... Similar? ”
After observing the attack of the 10,000 strong orcs and the terrifying weapons of the Alician United Kingdom by a stone window in the fortress of Fort Clarion Hill, Heydon was now almost speechless with shock.
You know, that's an army of nearly 10,000 strong orcs equipped with iron armor......
Heudon felt that even if he gave himself 10,000 of the most elite cavalry, if he wanted to completely destroy or defeat these strong orcs who formed a tight phalanx, it would take at least several days to repeatedly charge the battle to lure the enemy, and at least lose a small half of the troops on the side.
And now, the kingdom of Alicia, with that terrible fiery weapon, without any damage to themselves, just blocked the valley mouth and almost wiped out the first enemies? He had just seen very clearly, the number of strong orcs who could escape by chance, and the number of those who could successfully escape in the end would definitely not exceed a thousand!
Xiyoton asked himself, if this was replaced by the 10,000 cavalry of their Rohan Kingdom to attack the formation of the Alician Kingdom, he himself felt that with the same number of people on both sides, their cavalry would definitely be slaughtered on the way to the charge!
He felt that it was necessary to have at least three to five times the numerical superiority of cavalry, and only if they were in the wide and flat steppe terrain that they could hope to withstand the fire of those terrible weapons and force their way to the enemy's position, right?
Moreover, the most terrible thing is: under such huge casualties and a huge blow to morale, there is no unit that can withstand that kind of loss! The sense of despair that makes you lose half of your own side without touching the enemy's figure can definitely collapse any of the most disciplined armies in Middle-earth!
Those strong orcs just now are the best proof of this! Their morale and discipline can be said to be excellent!
But the result? When they were easily slaughtered by the enemy, they could no longer be restrained and began to break down and run away! Then, when they handed their backs to the enemy, they ended up dying with only a few hundred lucky escapes, almost wiped out?
That terrible weapon, just chasing them in the back and firing them all the way to nearly a thousand yards...... Could it be that they are holding a large catapult in their hands, otherwise how could they have fought so far?
“……”
"I'm sorry, King Xiyodon...... I've been to many places in Middle-earth, but I've never seen such a terrible weapon! ”
"I've never even heard of it......"
After a moment of silence, Aragorn shook his head with some difficulty. At this time, he only felt a bitter feeling welling up in his heart......
In the face of such a terrible weapon that only the devil can have, personal prowess will be useless! In the face of this kind of weapon, even the most elite ranger or knight may not be as good as a powerless woman, right?
By now, Aragon finally understood why almost no armor was worn in the army of the Alician Kingdom? I also know why there is still a group of women in their formation......
If there is such a terrifying devil weapon, let alone a woman, even a child, as long as he can afford that kind of iron rod, he can easily kill the most heroic knight, right?
Moreover, it is an attack that can be carried out from such a distance......
"Perhaps, they are really devils from hell?"
Aside from the adjective Devil's Weapon, Aragorn really couldn't think of a better modifier...... Those terrible weapons probably shouldn't have been in this Middle-earth at all!
He suddenly felt a little disheartened now, this United Kingdom of Alicia of unknown origin, just looking at their current military strength, Aragon already knew that the other party would definitely be able to gain a foothold north of the White Goose River and in the homeland of his Arno Kingdom!
With these powerful armies as a deterrent, no one would be stupid enough to oppose them!
The worst thing is that they are now developing south, if nothing else, Rohan should also join them, and when the time comes, how will the Gondor Kingdom gain a foothold on Middle-earth?
Even if he Aragorn really used his inheritance to successfully regain the kingdom of Gondor by then, what could he do? Will he be able to hold on to his Gondor under the threat of this terrible demonic weapon?
“……”
The Hussar King of Xiudun was also calm, and did not speak again.
Compared with the sadness and heavy blow in Aragorn's heart, his own feelings are actually more mixed? The good news is: if nothing else, they can now be said to be basically safe! And the worry is: does his Rohan really want to announce that he will join the other party? When the time comes, how will his own Rohan guarantee his independence and other interests in the United Kingdom of the other party?
Half-joyed and half-sad, he was now thinking: if he was the general of the orcs, how would he defeat the Alician army?
In the face of that terrible weapon, he had already seen a fact from the battle just now: they still maintained a terrible lethality at a distance of eight hundred yards!
On the other hand, their traditional bows and arrows are beginning to look backward in their shooting weapons.
If it is an elven clan, those elven bows that use special wood and bowstrings and are also very well-crafted, their direct range can reach at least a hundred yards of flat firing distance, and in the case of projectile, it is already very good to be able to reach a distance of four hundred to five hundred yards!
As for the humans or dwarves who are a little behind in craftsmanship, apart from the powerful but troublesome hard crossbows, if they are bows and arrows, they can only reach seventy or eighty percent of the range of the elven archery troops, or even a little less?
And, most crucially, the most important thing is that ordinary bows and arrows will definitely not be able to shoot through the enemy's steel plate armor, especially the kind of strong orcs, they are almost a whole panel of armor poured in one piece, although the craftsmanship is poor, but it is very effective!
Ordinary bows and arrows shoot straight or throw at them, and as long as they don't hit those vital weak spots, they don't need to be blocked with a shield and can bounce off easily!
This has been proven when they humans and elves defended the walls of Hornfort before! At that time, their bows and arrows were not ideal for the killing of strong orcs.
And what about Alicia's terrifying weapon that emits fire and smoke? They are able to penetrate the plate armor directly at a distance of several hundred yards? And if it's at a distance of about three hundred yards, you can even directly hit a pair and knock down one or two strong orcs in a dense formation?
Therefore, after thinking about it, Xiudon came to a startling conclusion: if he was the general of those strong orcs, he himself would have no better way than to have tens of thousands of people force the pig to charge, pile up the road with human lives and force it through......
Moreover, this is still assuming that morale will not collapse, even if it can finally rush through, it is estimated that there will not be many people left, right?
"Aha! I'm telling you, that kind of thing that will explode and smoke, and we dwarves in the Lonely Mountain actually have it! ”
Suddenly, the dwarf Jin Li, who was standing on top of a large wooden barrel and had been lying on the windowsill to watch a scene of musketeers versus plate infantry, did not know what he had in mind, so he shouted loudly with joy.
Just now, during the battle, he always felt that the weapons of the Alician United Kingdom army, those fires and sounds, seemed very familiar?
"Actually, we dwarves also have a powerful gadget called 'Flashfire'!"
"The sound and smoke from its explosion are almost the same as those of the Alician army in the distance! It's just that we usually stuff it into a large iron ball and throw it out with our hands? ”
At this time, Jin Li also remembered that his father, Groin, had boasted to him many times: that back then, when a dozen of their dwarfs and hobbit Bilbo Baggins and the gray-robed wizard Gandalf were on an expedition against the Lonely Mountain, they had used to have that kind of 'flash fire' in the Lonely Mountain Fortress! Moreover, he used it to blow up the head of the dragon Smaug!
Although, those things didn't have much of an impact on the dragon Smaug at the time, but no one can deny that when they explode, they make a loud noise, produce fire, and choke smoke! For these points, there must be no doubt about it!
Taken together, these similarities are a bit similar to the weapons of the Alician United Kingdom army on the other side!
Although Jin Li still didn't quite understand, why was the other party's iron rod so powerful?
Perhaps, when he goes back to Gushan by himself, he can also try it, go to make a big iron pipe, and then stuff the prepared 'flash fire' into the pipe, and when it is full, finally go to light the fire and detonate it?
"Flashfire?"
"I remember, I've seen that thing too! It's just that you dwarves don't seem to have used it to fight before, right? ”
Hearing Jin Li mention this, Aragorn finally remembered.
In the realm of the dwarves, there are indeed some things that also explode and emit fire and smoke! It's just that they seem to be far less powerful and useful than those little iron rods in the Kingdom of Alicia. Aragorn remembered that the so-called 'flash fire' used a method that seemed to be in a large clay pot or tin pot, and then ignited and thrown at the enemy's side?
"That's right! It's just that we usually use it to blast rock mining or defend cities? Although we dwarves almost never need to defend the city......"
Speaking of which, Jin Li was a little embarrassed.
Because, most of them dwarves live in caves, and they really don't need to defend the city walls, in fact, the current dwarf countries, even if they are fighting with the orcs of the Misty Mountains or the half-orcs of Gangdaba, almost all of them are carried out in the caves, just like the mines of Moria.
"Everyone, pay attention! The army of strong orcs is finally in action! ”
At this time, Legras, who was standing next to Jin Li and had been concentrating on observing the strong orcs and the musketeers of the Alician Kingdom, finally reminded everyone in the discussion in time.
Here, Leglas's elven eyes were the best, so he could just see the subtle movements of the musketeers of the Alician Kingdom army in the distance!
He saw it very clearly just now: what they were holding in their hands was not actually an iron rod, but seemed to be a long, uniform iron pipe?
When they were ready to fire, the musketeers of the Alician Kingdom, they first bit something up, then stuffed it into the iron pipe, and then stuffed it with some kind of iron pellet?
In the end, it was the weapons that raised their weapons and aimed them at their enemies, and activated the kind of weapons that would emit fire and smoke, and when the weapon exploded, the iron pellet flew straight out and shot through the armor and filthy flesh of the orcs at a speed that was almost invisible to the naked eye, and took their pathetic lives!
The speed at which the troops loaded the iron pipes with items and iron pellets was not too fast! Legolas had just seen very clearly, the fastest of them would need at least ten breaths or so to complete a full set of actions, and with this time, he himself was confident that he could almost shoot a dozen arrows?
It's just that the power and range of the opponent's weapons are far greater than his bow and arrows!
Legolas still couldn't even imagine what it was like to pierce the plate armor at a distance of five hundred yards?! If it was his own bow and arrow, let alone five hundred yards, within a hundred yards, he could only shoot the enemy's armpits, neck, or eyes, which were not protected by armor!
Otherwise, his arrows will likely be ricocheted off by the enemy's armor!
In Legolas's opinion, the only drawback of the fire-piped weapons that emitted flames and smoke was simply that the rate of fire was too slow.
However, the people of the Alician Kingdom cleverly used the method of multi-stage shooting, so that the armies were divided into several waves and fired sequentially, so as to ensure the continuity of the shooting and give the people who had shot enough time to reload?
That's a really good idea!
Elven Prince Legolas felt that by doing this, the other party could not only inflict continuous terrifying damage to the enemy, but also cause huge psychological pressure on the enemy soldiers in that kind of situation where bullets rained down, so that the charging soldiers would have the terrible illusion that the enemy's attacks would never stop, and they might never be able to rush forward?
"The orcs are moving together......"
"So many people pressed it together? If that's the case, even if it's Alicia's terrible weapon, it probably won't last long, right? ”
Sure enough, the orc generals thought about the same as Heudon himself had just thought, and they had all found a way to deal with the enemy's terrible weapons.
In this situation in front of you, no matter who is the general of the strong orcs, there seems to be no good way to do it except to rush directly through the crowd? Unless, unless, they, the orcs, are willing to give up on attacking their Rohan's Hornfort and flee for their lives from the narrow slope to the right of the Horn Fort?
"Hey!" "Drink high!"
"Hey!" "Drink high!"
Here in the Valley of the Holy Helmet, there are at least thirty or forty thousand reorganized strong orcs to form a huge army, and looking at the castle here, their formation and momentum are also very extraordinary! Under that thick formation, if they were to be replaced by the Rohans, they would have had no better way but to turn their horses and wander away from the enemy.
"Alas......"
"No! There are too many strong orcs, and the people of the Alicia Kingdom are probably ready to retreat first......"
Sighing, Xiyoton felt that this battle of the Holy Helmet Valley was estimated to take a while?
He felt that if those strong orcs dared to force their charge at the cost of losing one or two thousand people, they should indeed be able to rush through the killing zone of that terrible weapon and directly rush into the opponent's formation.
So, Heyorton felt that in the current situation, the best way for the Alicians was to gradually retreat, using the wolf pack tactics and the advantage of their long-range shooting weapons, to destroy the enemy little by little while ensuring the distance between the two sides?
Although this method took a lot of time, no one could deny that they would definitely be able to completely annihilate this group of tens of thousands of strong orcs or even annihilate the enemy with very little losses on their side.
Of course, the premise is that these strong orcs, after they rush out of the valley of the Holy Helmet, do not turn around and run away......
"The weapons are good, but the mobility is slightly lacking?"
Xiyoton pondered for a moment, and soon discovered some of the shortcomings of that weapon, in addition to the rate of fire, maybe it was mobility, right?
He thought that if the 3,000 troops armed with weapons of terror could equip each of them with a war horse, or if his own Rohan kingdom could also have that kind of weapon......
Heyudon didn't dare to imagine it anymore, at that time, what other existence in Middle-earth could match this kind of special cavalry unit that could attack at an extremely long distance, with extremely lethal power, and be able to come and go like the wind?!
Thinking about it, Xiyuton can feel that his heart is starting to become hot!
I just don't know, if their Rohan Hussars announce their joining the United Kingdom of Alicia, when the time comes, will that Queen Orfina also provide her cavalry with this terrible weapon? Growing up on horseback, the Rohan people who are skilled at riding will be able to exert terrifying killing effects once equipped with this weapon, right?
Weird...... Why haven't they started to retreat yet?
"Wait! What is that!? ”
Just as Heyorton wondered why the Alician United Kingdom's army had no intention of retreating slowly, something shocked him again!
When the strong orcs gradually approached a distance of about five hundred yards, in the rear of those iron rod weapon troops, dozens of large black and white gunpowder smoke suddenly exploded, and then, after the firelight, about thirty or forty huge iron balls that were almost visible to the naked eye suddenly shot out from the place where the black smoke rose, and dragged a trajectory that was also almost visible to the naked eye, and directly plowed into the dense formations of the strong orcs, and in the dense phalanx, dozens of long blood ** gullies were torn out......
After a long while, the rumbling sound of dozens of semi-overlapping thunders reached the innermost mountain fortress of the Holy Helmet Valley, and began to rumble and continue for a long time under the echo of the high mountains around the valley......
At the same time, Theudon also saw that the Alician soldiers who were armed with strange iron rod weapons fired the iron rod weapons in their hands again. Obviously, they also knew that there were too many enemies this time, so they didn't put them closer within three hundred yards?
However, this bombardment of huge weapons alone killed and injured at least hundreds, if not thousands, of strong orcs, right? After all, their formations are just too dense......
What's more, the kind of attack that seems to be an extra-large iron rod weapon, the scene of flesh shattering and flying, and the limbs shattered, is much more terrifying than the kind of small iron rod that only emits smoke and fire!
Anyway, they, the Rohans, who were hiding far away in the mountain fortress, could feel a burst of horror when they looked at it, not to mention those strong orcs who were being directly hit in the head!
So, of course, now they can see that the military formation of those strong orcs seems to have become a little chaotic, under the intimidation of this terrifying weapon, under the long-range shooting of those iron rod weapons, some of the strong orcs began to turn around and retreat despite the order, while others, under the shouts of the officers, wanted to continue to advance forward, and they soon crowded together.
……
"Good chance!"
Originally, Orfina also thought that those strong orcs would probably continue to advance with huge casualties, but what she never expected was that the enemy would be frightened and confused by a salvo of cannons? Especially this kind of chaos of the Great Army, it is definitely a nightmare for all the generals!
At such a time, absolutely no one can easily organize the soldiers in chaos again!
So, Orfina felt that she seemed to need to add another fire, so that today's battle could be completely won before the sun rose?
After deciding, her face turned cold, and as soon as she gritted her teeth, she drove the tall unicorn under her crotch, accelerated to the front of the musketeer, and slammed out the golden sword at her waist, today, she decided to play a big one!
"In the name of my lord! In the name of the light! In the name of the flames! ”
A crisp shout began to echo across the battlefield of the Helmet Valley, and then, all of them, could see that in the middle of the front of the musketeers, the golden figure riding a strange mount, her long sword held high, began to emit bursts of intense light......
"Come out! Angel of Doom! Cleanse yourself of these evils! ”
Gathering the strength of her whole body, when the light of the long sword was set to illuminate the entire Holy Helmet Valley, Orfina swung the long sword forward! In the next instant, dozens of huge pillars of light fell from the sky.
Then, as the light of the pillar of light slowly dissipated, dozens of Doomsday Angels appeared, flapping their feathered wings with the power of fire, holding a huge cross-shaped greatsword and a shield of the flag of the United Kingdom of Alicia......
Well, what Orfina just wanted to add to the fire is actually to release these energy creatures Doomsday Angels to scare people! Their combat power is actually just a group of giant trolls that can fly? But this is something that everyone except Little Anne and Orfina don't know, right?
"Dendan cavalry! Follow behind the angels and charge! Cut their formations and disrupt their order! ”
After seeing that the angels she had summoned began to fly up and pounce at high speed towards the strong orc army that was even more frightened and chaotic, Orfina turned around, looked at the stunned cavalry behind her, and once again pointed her long sword at the strong orcs who were retreating in panic and ordered.
Now is a godsend, and she will never miss this good opportunity to defeat the enemy in one fell swoop!
"Long live the United Kingdom of Alicia!" "Long live the Queen!"
"Rush!!"
"Kill, !!"
After finally seeing the rumored Angel of Doom, the Knights of Dengdan instantly felt that their morale had broken through the peak full value, and their combat strength seemed to have exceeded 10,000 percent? So, shouting slogans that they thought would be a sign of force or loyalty, they rushed straight from the flanks of the musket phalanx towards the enemies!
"Attention musketeers! Advance! Shoot in turn! ”
"Attention artillery troops! Keep bombarding the last part of the enemy! ”
After seeing tens of thousands of enemies begin to huddle together and begin to evolve into a rout, Orfina knew that today's battle was almost over!
However, she also knows that she can't be careless now, after all, the number of people on the other side is too much! What they are doing now is to constantly compress the enemy's space for movement, and maintain uninterrupted artillery bombardment, while the musketeers must keep their distance, and absolutely not give the enemy a chance to fight back or regroup!
……
"This ...... How can it be?! ”
"The gods are above, what are those? Is it really an angel? ”
"Please forgive me for my past sins......
"Miracles...... It was a miracle! ”
While the orcs were frightened by the huge doomsday angels made of energy that fell from the sky, the Rohan people in the mountain fortress were no better, and they were already kneeling down one after another, and they were also whispering in prayer while peeking in amazement at the angels driving away the enemy in the distance......
"The strong orcs can't rush out, they're finished!"
At this time, the only remaining strong orcs and barbarians in the Horn Fort saw that the situation was not good, and they all ran out of the high wall! They, it seems, were trying to escape from the small gap slope to the right of Fort Clarion?
"Bring our war horses over and prepare our last remaining soldiers for battle! Later, we will open this gate, rush out, and drive the enemy out of our Horn Fortress, and we must not let those strong orcs fight back! ”
"Hurry up! Let's get moving, let's rush out! ”
Seeing that the Hussar King of Xiyuton has a cheap advantage, of course, he will not easily let go of this good opportunity to beat the water dog in front of him! Therefore, he immediately ordered his subordinates.
"Blessed by the king! We still haven't failed......"
Now the enemies within the high walls of Horn Fort have almost run, and in their mountain fortress, there are still three or five thousand combined human and elven troops, rush out first, defend this castle of theirs, and definitely not let those strong orcs in the rout pour in again!
Soon, the last gate of the mountain fortress of Fort Clarion opened on its own, and Theodon and the other soldiers rushed out again!
"Quick! Attack, kill these routs! Foot soldiers, hold your walls and close the second gate! ”
The hussar king Hiyodon, who was cheering up Yu Yong, rode his horse along the bend of the fortress and commanded the soldiers who followed him.
They couldn't hold the entire Horn Fort, after all, down there, the huge gap that had been blasted by the orcs was still there! Therefore, they only hope to hold the second fortress and parapet wall of the inner circle, and recapture the second gate!
"Wait! What is that? ”
Suddenly, after slashing down a strong orc who had been wounded and had no time to escape, Theudon reined in and looked in the direction to the right of Hornfort.
Where, through the same red sky as the sun was about to rise, he saw that at the very top of the gap in the slope, there was once again the red and gold-rimmed condor flag of the United Kingdom of Alicia?
Two or three of them, a phalanx of iron rods and a few stalks, soon blocked the narrow gap in the slope, and with that terrible weapon, began to condescendingly push back the barbarians and orcs of Denland, who were only halfway up to the top......
"Today's battle may be over soon......"
Looking at the enemy who had been driven back again, and the large groups of routs that were being brought back by the main forces of the Alician Kingdom, Xiyodon knew that today's battle was almost over.
The sound of gunfire in the distance continued, and the entire Valley of the Holy Helmet reverberated with the thunderous rumble and crisp sound of firecrackers, as well as the screams of the powerful orcs as they fled for their lives......
Today's battle will be remembered in the annals of history! This will be a record of a new era on the rise......
Then, the history books of Middle-earth will record like this: In the third age of Middle-earth, in the early morning of March 4, 3019, when the sun was rising, the elite angel legion of the United Kingdom of Alicia annihilated the white-handed legion of the strong orcs of Isengh in the Valley of the Holy Helmet, killing tens of thousands of enemies in this battle!
It was an epic victory......
