Breathe in the bowels!

Even though ten years have passed since the incident, it is still uncontrollable to retell the blood, and after talking about the bloody battle of the year in one breath, even if Master Dingle is nearly ninety years old, he can't help but blush his cheeks, and he is so excited that he stands up and keeps walking, constantly waving his hands to strengthen his tone.

The speaker couldn't help himself, and as the only audience member, Witt Dion was so excited that he grabbed the armrest of his chair, and the green tendons on the back of his hand burst out: "I really wish I could be born ten years early, so that I can kill orcs with my grandfather!"

"Hahahaha...... Little bunny, don't worry, according to recent intelligence, the orcs are recovering faster than expected, and it is estimated that there will be another war in the next two years. As he spoke, he stroked his beard proudly: "However, if you want to have a big fight like ten years ago, I'm afraid it will be 30 years later, hahahaha." ”

"Hahahaha...... Grandpa, my grandson is still very young, I can afford to wait!"

Speaking of happiness, the two laughed together, but Witt Dion quickly stopped: "Grandpa, what you just said, I can find a seven, seven, eight, eight or eight in the combat records, can you explain it in more detail?"

"Oh, like?"

"What about the actions of the Imperial Army? I found the records of the Defense Command's general order to commend the Imperial Army, and the final summary specifically mentions the sentence 'The Lawrence Imperial Army made a crucial contribution to the victory'. ”

With Witt Dion's question, this should have been something to be proud of, but the smug smile on Master Dingle's face froze and sighed softly:

"Alas...... That's not a pleasant memory...... Well, since you specifically asked about it today, grandpa will tell you about it. ”

............

The four most powerful empires in the human world, the Blue Moon Empire in the northwest, are rich in high-quality war horses and cavalry armor in the world; the Hot Sand Empire in the west, the unique camel cavalry specializes in desert warfare; the Elf Empire in the east, adjacent to the Elven Kingdom, is extremely good at jungle warfare, and even has elk cavalry that can charge in the jungle, which has always been the first line of human beings against elves; the Lawrence Empire in the south, due to the lack of high-headed horses who are good at charging on the battlefield, the army composition has always been heavy on infantry, and it is extremely good at defensive operations and mountain operations.

In the war of 4814 in the Bright Calendar, except for the Elf Empire, which needed to bear the defense of the elven direction and was therefore absent, the other three empires all participated in the battle against the orc direction. Among them, the troops of the Blue Moon Empire and the Hot Sand Empire all have strong cavalry and strong mobility ability, and are responsible for interspersed operations as the main force of the roundabout troops, while the Lawrence Army, which is king of infantry and good at defense, and the large army are engaged in the defensive battle of St. Martin's Fortress together.

Accompanied by the 10,000 most elite Templars, the Orc Kingdom would not believe that the human army had been exhausted without their appearance as a star force, and they would secretly withdraw from the battlefield and join up with the roundabout troops after showing enough presence.

In that war, the commander-in-chief of the Imperial Army was His Majesty the Emperor. After receiving the mobilization order from the Integrated Command, the Empire prepared for war as quickly as possible, and due to the slow movement of the large army, His Majesty the Emperor set out with the Guards cavalry and a few elite mages first, arriving at the fortress of St. Martin in early August, and participated in the formulation of the general battle plan. In the days that followed, he watched the orc army up close as an observer, waiting for the main force of the Imperial Army to arrive.

The Imperial Army arrived on September 11, the latest of the three empires, and after a short break, it was engaged in the defensive operation of Mount Brown on September 15, serving as a left flank cover mission, hoping to use low-intensity defensive operations to get the Lawrence Imperial Army into a state of war as soon as possible.

Although the troops deployed on both flanks continued to compress and harass, by the afternoon of September 20, the main position of Mount Brown was lost, and the St. Martin Fort Defense Command ordered the human forces near Mount Brown to retreat in echelons, and the Lawrence Imperial Army was ordered to cover the retreat of the defenders of Mount Brown, holding on to the nameless hill on the left flank, and engaging in a fierce battle with the pursuing orc army.

In the absence of the terrain advantage, the Lawrence Imperial Army held on to the nameless mountain for 3 days, and finally used a fierce counterattack to defeat the orc mountain attack force in one fell swoop, and even recaptured part of the main position of Brown Mountain, taking advantage of the opportunity for the Orc troops to reorganize the offensive team, the Lawrence Imperial Army took the opportunity to withdraw from the battlefield.

This is the first large-scale contact between the Lawrence Army and the Orcs in the whole battle, investing 15,000 troops, at the cost of less than 5,000 killed, annihilating 4,500 orc troops, and achieving close to 1:1 results, the name of the Lawrence Army is strong throughout the Allied Army, you know, the recognized strength ratio of human soldiers and orc soldiers is 1:3, and the average death of three human soldiers can kill an orc infantry!

In the next half month, all units of the Lawrence Army took turns to cooperate with the Allied forces and deal a heavy blow to the Orc Army. In particular, the vanguard legion, which was originally used as a vanguard, with a mixture of elite orc infantry, trolls and wolf horsemen, was completely annihilated, so that the orc army had to stop attacking and recuperate.

The strong performance of the defenders finally misled the orc commander, and ordered the concentration of forces. By October 10, the orc army had concentrated all the troops scattered on the periphery near the main battlefield to increase the intensity of the attack.

On October 12, the orc forces reorganized the vanguard with wolf cavalry as the main force and launched a general attack. In the previous battles, although the Allied troops had inflicted heavy losses on the orc army, the various divisions also suffered heavy losses, the 12 Duchy armies withdrew from the battle one after another, and the reinforcements of the smaller independent territories had already lost more than half of them, and they retreated to the rear of the fortress to rest.

The fortress headquarters failed to accurately estimate the losses of the various units participating in the battle, and still deployed troops according to the estimate of combat strength at the beginning of the war, and the 200,000 forward troops gathered were actually less than 150,000, and they were all troops who had been withdrawn from the front line after a series of fierce battles and urgently needed repair. The Fortress Command made one of the worst mistakes of the campaign, as the Knights Templar, the mainstay of the Templars, had left the battlefield to join up with the outflanking forces.

At the beginning of the battle, the vanguard legion launched a frontal attack on the orc army according to the plan, preparing to inflict heavy damage on the orc vanguard and frustrate the enemy's spirit, but they did not want the combat effectiveness of each unit to decline more than expected, and the resilience of the troops was much less than before.

As soon as the two sides came into contact, the human attack was indeed pushing the battle line in the direction of the orcs, but when the unbearable orc commander sent a shaman auxiliary minotaur heavy infantry to appear on the battlefield, the battle line was quickly stabilized. Seeing the appearance of their trump card, the Minotaur heavy infantry, the morale of the orc troops was greatly boosted, and the human alliance was in the second stage of 'one blow, then declining, and three exhausting'.

If the attack is delayed, the human commander will have to consider retreating, after all, this is to dampen the orc's offensive spirit, not to fight a decisive battle, and when the main force of the orcs comes up, there are only 200,000 people, and it is not easy to run. However, before the order was given, the orc army had already taken the lead.

After a long period of fierce battle, the stamina of the human troops has been insufficient, the combat effectiveness of each unit has declined rapidly, and the battle line has inevitably begun to retreat, especially when the main wolf cavalry of the orcs appears on the battlefield, the cavalry on the human side is still entangled with the wolf cavalry of the orc forward, and they cannot be withdrawn.

The vicious-eyed orc commander decisively put the main wolf rider who had just arrived and the last reserve troll in his hands into the battlefield, as the combined force of the left wing of the human alliance and the Chinese army, the combat strength of the Hamilton United Kingdom troops was weak, and after a long period of attrition, it was already the end of the strong crossbow, and this time it was rushed by the main wolf rider of the orcs, and it immediately collapsed.

The Chinese army was pressed and beaten by the mixed forces of the Minotaur heavy infantry and the shamans, and there was no reinforcement at all, and the troops drawn out by the left wing army to fill the gap were entangled by the trolls who followed up, and the main wolf cavalry drove the Hamilton United Kingdom army to outflank the rear of the left wing army, and the human army was forced to retreat.

After a day of fierce fighting, the tired and hungry soldiers, under the strong pressure of the orcs, began to retreat, and involuntarily began to be chaotic, the orc army took the opportunity to launch a general attack, and the former army commander Golden Retriever Lion King Leon led the lion guards as arrows, crushing the Chinese army in one fell swoop, and killed until it was less than 200 meters away from the commander's banner.

In the face of the threat, Cardinal Defoe, the vanguard commander of the human coalition army, the chief priest of light of the Central Holy See, ordered the Chinese army's tent to be transferred in advance, and he took the lead in running with his personal guards. The commander ran away, and ordered the Chinese army to retreat in advance, but did not coordinate the retreating armies, the commander's banner moved, and the various departments moved with each other, disconnected from each other, coupled with the fact that the orc army was pressing forward step by step, and finally evolved into a total rout, more than 100,000 people ran all over the mountains, and in the end, less than 30,000 people could run back to the fortress of St. Martin.

The 40,000 troops on the left flank were surrounded and annihilated, and the last 30,000 cavalry of the right flank defending the city were scattered, although nearly 20,000 of them finally fled back, but only more than 4,000 were left to return to the fortress at the first time, and the army in the middle was even more miserable. The initial plan to give the enemy a head-on blow and a thwart was a humiliating failure, and more importantly, the Fortress of St. Martin garrison lost three of its most elite hoplite regiments, creating an extremely important hole in the subsequent defensive operations.

The Lawrence Imperial Army, which had completed the previous combat mission, was resting under the fortress, and there were still more than 33,000 of the more than 50,000 people left at the time of departure. However, the plan could not catch up with the change, and later on October 16, there began to be a series of routs in the direction of the fortress, and the fortress defense command learned the news of the defeat of the troops at the front, but the specific situation was still confused, and the captured rout brought a lot of contradictory news, which was difficult to distinguish between true and false.

The headquarters decided to start deploying defenses in advance, and ordered all departments outside the city to enter the city in order early tomorrow morning, preparing to rely on the fortress walls to start a decisive battle, not wanting that the orc strikers had already arrived under the fortress city that night.

Outside the city, the reinforcements of the various units temporarily stationed in the streets formed by the spontaneous gathering of caravans were caught off guard and broke the camp one after another. The 200,000 troops under the city, who were originally the main force of the fortress's defense and the routs who arrived one after another, fought in the dark with the orc vanguard wolf cavalry who came in for a night, and the establishment had already become a mess, and I don't know how many of them died at the hands of their own people. Fortunately, because His Majesty the Emperor was in the camp, the Lawrence Army did not follow the melee together, but rushed to repair the fortifications overnight, sealed the road, and built a temporary fortress, and by the way, absorbed and organized the dazed defeated troops to replenish the battle losses of the various legions.

By the next morning, when everything was clear, all the optimistic Terran leaders couldn't help but gasp at this time - the orcs had advanced under the fortress! The fortress was fine, but at this time there were only about 100,000 defenders in the fortress, and there were a large number of routs and units that had suffered heavy losses in the previous battle, and it was not very difficult to reintegrate into a combat force.

The situation under the city is even more staggering, originally as the main force of the fortress defense, relatively speaking, the main force of 200,000 human beings with a complete formation formed two groups, which were divided and surrounded.

One part is 120,000 people, including the infantry of the Legion of Light, the Blue Moon Infantry, the first part of the Holy See Mage Regiment, the Blue Moon Mage Regiment, and the two kingdom legions, the organization is chaotic, the units are incomplete, but the total number is relatively large; the other part is the Lawrence Army, which is mainly composed of a group composed of many defeated troops, with a complete structure and smooth command, but only more than 40,000 people.

Since the two groups that were divided and surrounded were not far from the fortress, the orc army could not start the siege without removing these two nails, and it was difficult for the fortress defenders to go out of the city to fight when the fortress gate was already stared at. The two cliques in the city are in an extremely dangerous situation, and the left-wing clique in particular, although there are more people, but the organization is chaotic and incomplete, and it will not be able to hold out for long if it is not quickly reorganized.

The situation in the two encirclements is unknown to the orcs, the fortress defense command is unknown, and the two groups do not know each other, probably because there are few people here, and the orcs chose to take the Lawrence Army first.

At the beginning of the battle, it entered the **, fortunately, the command chain of the Lawrence Army was complete, and the troops were calmly organized to resist stubbornly relying on the temporarily built fortifications, and they fought for every house with the orc infantry without giving way, and fought for three days in a row, relying on the long-range fire support of the super magic cannon in the fortress, the fortress defender magician troops actively attacked, and the fortress fortifications temporarily built by the Lawrence Army had long been razed to the ground, and the 4W people were like reefs in the waves, seeing that they were swallowed by the waves, but they could always be strong when the tide was low.

With the Lawrence Army gaining time, the mixed group was able to seize the time to reorganize, and launched an active attack on the orcs surrounding them in the reorganized state, which greatly restrained the movement of the orcs and reduced the pressure on the Lawrence Army.

One blow of strength, then decline, three and exhaustion.

On the evening of October 20, it was already confirmed that all the troops of the Orc invasion had been gathered under the fortress, and the rapid group with the task of outflanking it left the hiding point and swooped down on the first-line fortress group of St. Martin's fortress. The Orc Army, which had arrived with all its strength, launched an all-out attack, and the Lawrence Army was like a flat boat in a huge wave, sometimes swallowed up and sometimes appeared on the sea, the encirclement on the side of the mixed group quickly narrowed, and the main fortress city had entered a state of battle, and the situation was precarious.
