Just as the Greystone Alliance was engaged in a hunting operation, Bol City also made a move. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

The top brass of Boer City, led by Viscount Wood, have been grinding for so long, and finally they have made a move.

Realizing the resolute attitude of the Vitans towards Bol City, Viscount Wood also made up his mind to use his knife against this ogre army.

Three thousand city defenders and a thousand heavy infantry were assembled, and at the same time, the elite guards, including Viscount Wood, also sent five hundred, in fact, the ogre general killed by the Greystone Alliance and the golden ogre were the leaders of this ogre army.

In the case of the loss of the leader, the combat power of this ogre is completely uncohesive, and with the lineup of Viscount Wood's troops, it can be completely destroyed.

Of course, in order to alleviate the attrition, Viscount Wood also hired a large number of mercenaries.

In this world, mercenaries are a very special kind of existence, as long as they can pay a sufficient price, they dare to do it to anyone.

Even in some countries on the mainland, the mercenary group is the main combat force, and a powerful mercenary group is comparable to the army, and the price of this mercenary group is extremely expensive.

Of course, Viscount Wood can't hire that kind of thousand-level elite mercenary group, but Boer City is backed by the Great Wilderness, and there are still a lot of mercenaries gathered at ordinary times, and in a short period of time, they also hired hundreds of mercenaries.

These mercenaries are not cannon fodder, they are indeed soldiers with a substantial role.

On the battlefield, the mercenaries and the army operate separately.

A well-equipped army can completely crush a sturdy mercenary, but mercenaries often have strong individual combat ability, therefore, generally in large-scale battles, the role of mercenaries is often to serve as scouts or assassinate enemy leaders.

And in the battle of Boer City, since this is a siege counterattack battle, scouts or something are already very small in such a situation, so the main role of Boer City to hire these mercenaries is to hunt on the battlefield.

......

When the army attacked, the movement was unusually huge.

As a result, the mercenaries were the first to take action, taking care of the ogres roaming the vicinity of Boer.

Due to the previous cowardice of Boer City, the ogres dared to go around the rear and sweep away the refugees first, and at the same time, their defense force of Boer City was still relatively weak.

In the vicinity of Bol, only a few groups of ogre warriors were symbolically arranged, responsible for blocking Bol's external communications.

Several teams of mercenaries quietly touched their vicinity, on the one hand, mercenaries who were well prepared and extremely familiar with the terrain, and on the other hand, ogres who were physically strong but lacked the sense of precaution.

Shockingly, the mercenary team presented a one-sided slaughter of the ogres.

Often, a few bronze wanderers quietly touch the vicinity of the ogre, and then assassinate, miss a hit, and immediately use the way of loiter to delay, and then follow either the meat shield warrior to carry it and carry out wheel battles, or the ranger to shoot and kill.

Those who dare to act as mercenaries are usually hob meat with a skill, or extremely confident in themselves, to deal with this barbaric ogre, sneak attacks, hidden arrows, traps...... Doing everything he could, he quickly swept away the ogres in the vicinity.

After the mercenaries opened the way, the army followed.

The movement of the 3,000 city guards and the 1,000 heavy infantry was still very large, and as they left the city, in this wilderness area, the movement could be seen from afar.

But on the one hand, the wandering ogre scouts were pulled out, and on the other hand, the leader of the ogres was killed, and their reactions were unusually slow.

When the mighty human army arrived at the ogre camp, they were still in disarray, unorganized to block effectively.

Next, facing the ogres who are fighting separately, the outcome of the war speaks for itself.

The battle began, and the heavy infantry was the first to assemble.

A thousand-man brigade, divided into four directions, with five squadron phalanxes in each direction.

Equipped with a steel shield, covered in plate armor, all with steel bracers and iron helmets, like a steel monster, presenting a row of ten people, a small phalanx in five rows, five small phalanxes occupy one side, and the four sides suppress down.

Because of the topography of the city, there were frequent battles, so heavy crossbowmen were often used to suppress the slow mobility of the heavy infantry.

In the face of the ogres, the heavy crossbowmen first performed a round of sweeps, and then raised their shields to advance, and the shield strikes combined with the spear charge compressed the ogre's range of action.

Then came the action of the regular army.

The regular army of 3,000 was divided into six phalanxes, with a platoon of fifty men and a phalanx of ten platoons, in an encirclement and suppression formation.

One round of spears was thrown, followed by a full army press, and when the rotation crossed the heavy infantry, another round of crossbow cover.

At this time, the ogres were taken by surprise.

After a moment of panic, they were ready to fight back, but by this time they had been suppressed in a small range of movement.

At this time, the heavy infantry followed the suppression, after raising the shield, the horizontal formation, after advancing to a certain distance, charged fiercely, although the ogre was relatively burly, but in the face of this heavy infantry's shield and gun combination can only retreat.

When there was no way to retreat, the rear infantry cut in the form of a phalanx, hiding some mercenaries on the battlefield, and an ogre that was enough to fight the human elite head-on was easily destroyed.

......

When the battle was over, the soldiers began to clean up the battlefield.

On the Boer side, the casualties of the army were about 300, while the casualties of the mercenaries were only less than 50.

War must have a price, professional soldiers are born to fight, these three hundred people are regular infantry, most of them died in the melee that divided the battlefield, after all, the opponent's ogres are the kind of alien creatures that were exiled in ancient times, with burly physique and amazing combat power.

And mercenaries, veterans of the battlefield, fritters and hob meat, they are often not easy to lose their lives on this chaotic battlefield, and because they are fighting a tailwind war, this group of mercenaries has not fled, so the casualties are minimal.

In general, it was a brilliant victory, because at these insignificant costs, they annihilated almost a thousand ogres and defended the city of Boer.

Of course, the role of the Greystone Alliance was overshadowed by Wood and other interested nobles at this time.

You must know that ancient races such as ogres and trolls are strong in battle, but their brains are very clumsy, so once they are led by wise leaders, they are often crushed in the face of the same number of human warriors.

Therefore, the killing of the Ogre Warlord and the Ogre Commander was also a major reason for the victory of this battle.

It's just that few people break this reason.

But this battle was also recorded in certain books of later generations.

"Battle of the Ogres of Vitan: When the alliance was germinating, when the light of the era had not yet shone, in the northwest region of the continent, Boer City and the Holy Alliance launched a battle to encircle and suppress the ogre forces of the Vitan Troll Legion, and the alliance rune combat method that subverted the traditional way of warfare came to the fore in this battle. - Rise of the Alliance: Boer

Although the role of the Greystone Alliance in this battle is not mentioned in this book by later scholars, it does vaguely point out the strength of the rune combat mode.
