Chapter 49: The Unspeakable Possibility

"Throw the cotton wool on it!"

"Hurry up!"

"Mage! Where is the mage!? With a sound of commands, a fire path burned on the battlefield. The Alliance soldiers lit flames with the cotton wool they carried with them, blocking the path of the orcs' pursuit. Although there are many orcs who can brave the heat of the flames and rush into the sea of fire, these orcs will be specially cared for by the archers, and the corpses of the fallen orcs will only fuel the flames

Of course, the sea of fire can't stop the orcs all the time, but it has bought enough time. The squad leader began shouting orders at their own team, rallying their soldiers, and began to back off while holding the orcs in check.

The Horde tried to break through them, but the Alliance soldiers stood tightly, their weapons held steady, stabbing at any orcs who came close. Each squad also erected their shields and built small shield walls around them. The orcs kept pounding the squads in sheer numbers, crashing into the warriors again and again until they fell. However, most of the Alliance soldiers were able to make it back.

The shield wall in the hills behind opened a gap for them to pass through each group of Union soldiers as they retreated, and closed the gap when they had passed. The passing soldiers will then reinforce the shield wall. The archers sniped the orcs with all their might, covering the safe retreat of more soldiers

"Sir, we can't hold back for too long" The Lordaeron soldiers brought by Tulayan and the knights of Autumn Dust converged, the orcs were mainly focused on pursuing the human soldiers, and they didn't care about their partial army, but more orcs began to support from the shore, and the pressure on the cavalry gradually increased "We are almost overwhelmed"

"Before they converge, we rushed out of the gap" Qiu Chen has been rushing to the front, and the attacks of the orcs with blood shields can't touch him, but the other knights are different, when turning and slowing down, some knights are torn off their horses by the orcs, and the knight who lost his horse is also a heavy infantryman

"The new line of defense should have been completed, we can retreat" Suddenly, a group of orcs rushed in front of Qiuchen and the others, killing the red-eyed orcs and even using their flesh/body to block the charge of the war horse.

However, the group of orcs could not stand still, and a rain of arrows turned them into corpses. Autumn Dust looked up just in time to see Aurelia and her Ranger standing there on a distant hillside, sniping orcs from above.

Seeing Qiuchen looking over, Aurelia swung her longbow vigorously. But Qiu Chen didn't care about the meaning of her movements, this place is about more than six hundred meters away from the hillside, and the longbowman with the farthest range of human beings can shoot at a target of three hundred meters, and the elven ranger is indeed worthy of his name

"Sir, shall we retreat behind the defensive line!" After rushing out of the crowd, Tulayan asked

"No, assemble on the high slope," Qiu Chen pulled the reins and stopped. The orcs' swarm of fighting style can't stop the human knights' group charge at all, "We can't defend forever, the four consecutive shield walls have consumed a lot of physical strength of the soldiers, we must seize the opportunity to launch a counterattack"

Sure enough, when Qiuchen rushed up the high slope with a group of cavalry, Lothar was already waiting there with the rest of the knights and several paladins from Uther

"Qiuchen, can your people continue to fight" Seeing Qiuchen coming, Lothar asked head-on

"It's not tired, you can continue to fight for a while" Qiuchen replied, and at the same time looked at the new defense line below with some concern, "Is there still a reserve, I feel that the remaining soldiers are already very tired" Compared with the first defense line, this time the defense line orcs can hit a gap in it with every impact, and the entire defense line is crumbling

"There are no reserves, we should fight back" Lothar shook his head and waved his hand. Seeing this, Qiuchen immediately asked the cavalry following him to return to Lothar's ranks, while he rode his horses side by side to Lothar's side

"Cavalry ready!" Lothar roared, and Quelzaram was already in his hand, "Blow the trumpet!" ”

The fierce horn spread throughout the battlefield, and the soldiers immediately began to tighten their defenses, and in an instant a huge gap appeared in the battle line, and the orcs rushed in like a torrent of green, but they were not happy for long, and they were greeted by the iron hooves of their horses and the spears of knights. Before the orcs could take a few steps, the human cavalry slammed into the orc's head like a hammer, and then pushed their torrent back

The cone-shaped array of knights was unstoppable, and the orc army was sliced through the middle like pieces of paper that had met scissors. It seems that the orcs in Draenor have not seen the tactics of cavalry group charging, and some orcs even want to pounce in, but as soon as they get closer, they are swept into the steel torrent by the galloping war horse, and they are trampled to death before they can even scream

The human cavalry forces quickly tore through the tribe to the rear, and Lothar made a gesture, and everyone reined in and turned back, the archers covering with all their might. Then they charged again.

The orcs who had already attacked the three shield walls were already exhausted, although the group of cavalry led by Qiu Chen had a lot of physical exertion, but the cavalry reserve of Lothar was almost in full state to attack, not to mention that the orc troops that had just crossed the previous hill and had not had any military discipline that had become loose and loose had no capital to stop the human charge at all, and the only ogre that could stop it had been specially taken care of by the military mages and elven rangers before this, and the heavy losses could not be gathered into useful combat power at all

At least Lothar's tactic of delaying the orcs with shield wall attrition succeeded

As they prepared for a third charge, a drum beat came from somewhere in the tribe - and after dropping thousands of corpses, the orcs began to retreat.

"It's a good fight~ My voters" The sweet voice that suddenly remembered in Qiuchen's mind made him almost sit still, and Yazi, who had been silent for an unknown amount of time, suddenly bubbled, "Do you want me to help you, use the evil dye to make them kill each other, at this time, it will definitely have the effect of bombing the camp~"

"No need" Qiuchen looked in the direction of the orc's retreat, if there was chaos now, Orgrim would definitely increase the monitoring of the troops, "I don't want to make it more difficult for a warlock to defect, and, when will I become your vote, don't make a mistake"

Ako didn't respond, and fell silent again, really not knowing what she was doing by herself

"We did it!" On the sidelines, Tulayan shouted happily, "They are retreating!" ”

"Of course, of course~ Tulayan, don't get excited" Qiuchen didn't feel happy, but just felt a lightness all over his body, "Let's also gather our troops and camp on the spot"

"Shouldn't we follow them and watch behind them," Tulayan asked

"It stands to reason that we should be like this" Qiuchen shrugged and laughed, "But look behind you, the soldiers can't afford to fight again, this time, we narrowly won"

If Orgrim can withstand some homeopathy and exhaust the strength of Lothar's cavalry, the outcome of the war may be difficult to say. This time, the human race is the best of the best, once it fails, it will definitely be impossible to gather another army to resist the frenzy of the tribe Thinking of this, Qiu Chen couldn't help but feel palpitations. If Orgrim had held out a little longer, if the clan chiefs around him had said less than a few words of retreat, it was hard to say whether the outcome of the timeline would have been rewritten

At least it won't be the original result
