Chapter 151: Take the initiative

As an army that is good at frontal formation, no one can deny the propulsion of the orc army, and in the face of such an amazing firepower suppression on the side of Xicheng, it is forced to push them all the way over, and these orcs really cannot be measured by human standards.

Seeing that the orc army was about to be pushed under the city wall, Li Qing had already begun to direct the soldiers to prepare to throw the rolling logs and stones.

Seeing this, Xia Qi also stretched his muscles, and then said, "Li Qing, this side of the city wall will be handed over to you." ”

"The last general commands!"

Even if it is a city defense battle, it is not only a one-sided defense, but also a part of the city defense war.

Li Qing was ordered to continue to command the battle on the city wall, while Xia Qi himself walked towards the city gate with the bear, white wolf and other generals, there is no doubt that he will go out of the city to meet the attack! Otherwise, unilaterally defending the city wall will be too passive, and the city wall will not be able to hold it sooner or later.

Behind the city gate, the army had already assembled, and the three of Xiong, Storm Bear and White Wolf quickly commanded their soldiers to set up a long-discussed formation behind the city gate.

At the same time, the battle on the city wall still did not stop, the soldiers stubbornly guarded the wall, and the stones and rolling logs kept smashing down to resist the invasion of the orcs, while Li Qing's gaze stayed in a farther position.

He had been keeping an eye on the four elephant men from beginning to end, because he knew very well that the four elephant men were the biggest threat to the walls of this tin city!

Although the other orcs are also very strong, at least they cannot directly pose an effective threat to the city wall, and once the four elephants go under the city wall, the walls of the tin city will be in danger.

As his thoughts flickered, looking at the elephant man in the distance who had regained his action after relieving for a while, Li Qing waved his hand and motioned to the messenger beside him to blow the horn.

Listening to the sound of the horn coming from the wall, Xia Qi turned over and got on the horse, and after touching Lightning's mane, he only heard him shout.

"Open the gates! Get out of town and take on the attack! ”

Xia Qi, who brushed a wave of morale, directly pulled the morale of the army under his command to the point of approaching full value in one go.

Accompanied by the slowly rising city gate, the white wolf raised the spear in his hand and shouted loudly: "Attack in formation!" ”

"Kill !!"

A low roar, full of determination! The soldiers who retreated from the Copper City swore to wash away the shame caused by the fall of the Copper City at this moment!

The phalanx almost blocked all the activity space at the city gate, mercilessly giving the orc army who rushed up to fight head-on!

In the face of this spear array that filled the entire city gate space, at this moment, even the rough-skinned and thick-skinned minotaurs had to take a wave, and the sharp spears of the cold light made their steps subconsciously retreat.

The offensive spear array opened up a space outside the city gate in a short period of time, and then the sword and shield soldiers guarding the sides quickly surrounded it.

The incomparably fast switching of formations fully demonstrates the well-trained training of these soldiers, and in a few blinks of an eye, the entire formation has been switched to a more classic "contradictory combination".

Obviously, they did not intend to use the Macedonian phalanx to attack the orc army, as it was said before, the Macedonian phalanx was not flexible enough, and the flanks and rear of the battle formation were weak points.

In the previous night attack on Tongcheng, they basically only needed to deal with the kobolds, so they could generally deal with it by sending a few teams of large shield soldiers on both wings and the rear to defend.

However, now, the minotaur on the opposite side looks very fierce, and that layer of defense is estimated to be impossible to hold at all, so it is better to simply change to a more stable formation.

At the moment when they pushed out the city gate, the soldiers who maintained the battle formation collided with the orc army outside on the spot, leaving aside the previous night raid and several rounds of defending the city wall, this was probably the first real head-to-head confrontation between humans and orcs.

The sound of killing shook the sky, and under the stimulation of Xia Qi's military merit system, these soldiers all burst out with terrifying combat effectiveness, and they overwhelmed the opposite side in an instant, and for a while, the human soldiers who were physically weak and the orc army were not at all defeated in the battle.

"The first and second teams pay attention to covering, and the third and fourth teams pay attention to keep up, and push them out in one go!!"

"All shields, defensive formations! Watch out for oncoming attacks! ”

At the rear of the military formation, the white wolf and the violent bear, one commanding the spearmen and the other commanding the sword and shield troops, maintained a contradictory combination and constantly attacked the formation of the opposing orc army.

At the same time, on the other side, on a high ground on the outskirts of the battlefield, when Keree saw that there was already a fight at the city gate, he couldn't wait to bring the disease to kill him, and after waiting for so many days, he was already a little impatient.

As a result, he just made a little move, and was stopped by Silan next to him.

"Wait, it's not time yet."

"Not yet? It's already been a fight, so there's no way we're going to shrink here and watch the show, right?! At the moment of life and death, Kree's tone was also a little eager.

"Don't worry, it's just the beginning, at this time they are at the gate of Xicheng, they can attack, retreat and defend, what can happen?" Si Lan, who was also observing the battle situation, still had a calm face.

"Now is the most unstable time for the whole battle situation, we haven't seen the situation clearly, just kill it, it will only add to the chaos, slow down first, and wait for the situation to be a little clearer, and then we will wait for the opportunity to move."

For Silan, although he was a little unhappy in his heart, he also had to admit that he was always inferior to the other party in terms of resourcefulness.

In this way, the two armies, led by Silan and Keree, continued to hibernate.

"What the hell, why is this soldier under Xia Qi's command so tenacious?"

Looking at the army of orcs under his command, who have always been invincible, after facing this Xia Qi, it was extremely difficult to fight, and at this time, Duoduo's mood can be good.

Seriously, he has completely regretted this all-out war until now.

Before, he heard Yulia Lily say, this person is called Xia Qi, and there are a large number of people under his command, so he became greedy, and coupled with the other party's low ranking, he made up his mind to have a full-scale war and plunder the human beings under the other party's command.

It's a pity that because of the rules of the civilized battlefield, it won't take long for the humans he plunders to die in a large area, and I hope that this all-out war can get rid of this phenomenon.

At this time, looking at the scorching battle at the gate of the tin city, Duoduo's brows became more and more wrinkled, he was used to relying on the advantage of the orc army, and any opponent he encountered was a wave of toughness and forcibly beat people Duoduo, and now let him think of some tactics, he really couldn't think of it.

But the current situation obviously requires it to do something as a big chief, otherwise, this battle is estimated to be a little bit suspenseful.

Its orc army will lose to humans, what are you kidding!? In the middle of the thoughts, Duoduo, who was almost racking his brains, suddenly had a flash of inspiration.

"There it is!"

"Whew-"

The dull sound of trumpets echoed on the battlefield, and the orc army that had been frantically storming the gates of Tin City actually began to slowly retreat at this moment.

Xia Qi, who noticed the other party's move, raised his eyebrows slightly, and after a little pondering, he suddenly knew in his heart.

The advantage of the orc army is that they fight head-on, and squeezed in the city wall, due to the problem of spatial location, they are tied up, and the Duoduo on the opposite side wants to play a hand to retreat as advance.

But it doesn't matter, his plan for this battle was originally intended to compete with this orc army, Xia Qi really didn't believe it, this well-trained and well-equipped army under his command couldn't kill a group of orcs who only knew how to slash and rush?

"Maintain the formation and push it out!"

With an order, with Xia Qi's permission, the white wolf and the violent bear immediately commanded the army under their command to advance all the way.

And Duoduo, who saw this scene, suddenly sent out a gloomy sneer in his heart, just now, it suddenly thought of a method used by the other party in the previous night raid, to retreat as advance, the other side can be used, it can also be used.

Its orc army is the best at frontal toughness, retreat a distance first, and the opposing army lures out, and when the two armies are fully fought together, it is definitely its orc army that has more advantage!

At present, its strategy has been implemented quite smoothly, and the humans guarding the city on the opposite side have already chased it out, thinking of this, Duoduo can't help but feel more and more proud.

"What a stupid human."

After seeing that the distance was almost up, Duoduo let out a cruel laugh, and immediately signaled the herald beside him to blow the horn again, signaling the retreating orc army to turn around and meet the attack.

A wave of counterattacks on the opposite side was completely expected by Xia Qi, naturally it was impossible for him to panic for half a minute, the formation of the sword and shield troops was still the same, and they attacked strongly, and then the spears that kept stabbing out were even more crazy to suppress the momentum of the orcs' attack, and another round of fighting was staged again.

The change in the situation here has undoubtedly attracted Silan's attention, the discipline of the orc army is very poor, and the round of retreat just now, although it can be regarded as an execution, but in the process of retreating, the formation that was quite loose itself was instantly chaotic, and even the battle line with a whole army was dragged for a long time.

Seeing this scene, Silan spoke up quickly.

"It's time, do it! Rush to the middle of the opponent's battle line and split the strength of that orc army in half in one go! ”

Hearing this, Kereh's whole body suddenly perked up, there was no nonsense, and he said loudly: "The whole army is raiding!" ”

This ambush army, which had been dormant on the outskirts of the battlefield for a long time, quickly killed, and was so shocked that Duoduo, who was in the rear, exploded on the spot with wolf hair.

"! You still have a hand?! ”
