After another week of attrition in the defensive battle, the Persian army began to meet in earnest!

After several days of fighting, the casualties on the Persian army's side suddenly exceeded 5,000, but at the same time, this kind of life-for-life and wound-for-wound fighting method also achieved initial results.

As General Kafka said before, compared to the orc army, their only advantage now is that there are only more people.

After the human soldiers are damaged, they can be replenished relatively easily, but once the orc soldiers are damaged, they are limited by the total population of the race, and they are fighting in different places, so it is not so simple for them to replenish.

But even so, the Persian army could not establish any superiority in a short period of time.

The reason is also very simple, because the soldiers who are urgently recruited are basically equal to the civilian population, and they who have not received formal training are far inferior to the regular army.

This makes their existence basically only play the role of cannon fodder.

If a formally trained squad can successfully kill an orc soldier with tacit cooperation, if it is replaced by those soldiers who have been temporarily recruited, two or three squads may not be able to succeed when they come together.

Therefore, in the subsequent battles, in order to pursue victory, the veterans also had to choose to let the cannon fodder rush to the front, so as to consume the physical strength of the orc soldiers, and leave the regular army with stronger combat effectiveness behind, so as to strive for a greater chance of victory.

Because of the cruelty of the battlefield, they have no way to pin their hopes on the growth of a group of miscellaneous troops, and at the same time, they have no time to let them grow slowly.

And it is undeniable that while this practice weakens the combat power of the orc army, it also reduces their food burden to a certain extent.

It can be said that this is the optimal solution at present.

In this way, the battle continued, and the nominal recruit battalion, in fact, the cannon fodder troops, also died in batches.

In this kind of bloody battle, a soldier who can survive two rounds in the recruit camp means that the opponent's combat awareness is not bad, and he will be eligible to be promoted to another combat camp.

Of course, that doesn't mean they're regulars.

What the regular army needs, in addition to the sense of combat, is more important is the tacit cooperation and professionalism between other soldiers, and this kind of tacit understanding and professional requirements cannot be embodied in those recruits who are temporarily recruited.

The high number of casualties and the requisition of new recruits kept the fortress and the city in the rear in a delicate balance.

But only the officials in charge of the city knew that this massive recruitment of new recruits had drastically reduced the number of young and middle-aged people in the city.

In other words, the labor force is plummeting.

But it doesn't matter, anyway, in the past few months, these Persian cities and armies have basically been raised by Great Xia.

Otherwise, that almost negligible output would not be enough to feed an army of more than 50,000 and the population of several cities.

The battle for the front-line fortress continued, and the soldiers of the new battalion were almost a mess, basically not building much combat power, and the combat battalion and the regular army after that were the focus.

The orc soldiers on the enemy side have completely entered a state of madness, and the rich smell of blood mixed with the smell of gunsmoke constantly stimulates the sense of smell of every soldier on both sides of the enemy. On this battlefield, several veteran generals each led an army to command the battle with all their might, but as the battle lengthened, this battle had a tendency to become more and more fierce.

And just when the two sides were about to stalemate, with a violent shaking of the ground under their feet, a signal flare suddenly exploded in the sky, indicating that a new force had intervened in this battlefield.

It's cavalry!

I saw that a heavily armored camel cavalry rushed into the battlefield quickly from the flanks!

They weren't fast, they weren't very numerous, but they were so powerful that they made the whole land rumble.

A cavalry general at the head of the group held a big knife in one hand, and at the moment of collision with the orc army array, I saw the big knife in his hand waving, and blood splattered between the knife in his hand.

With just one face, a hyena man was directly cut into two pieces on the spot!

The arrival of this support army undoubtedly boosted the morale of the Persian army.

Before they had time to think about it, several veterans hurriedly shouted loudly: "Your Majesty's reinforcements have arrived, counterattack!! ”

The camel heavy cavalry in black heavy armor was extremely fierce, even when killing orcs, it was unstoppable.

The morale of the attacked orc army was suddenly hit, and the commander of the army saw that the situation was not right, and hurriedly issued an order to retreat.

However, with such a good opportunity, several Persian veterans had no reason to let it go, and directly led the army under their command to chase and kill.

During this period, the camel heavy cavalry chased more fiercely, chasing and killing all the way, directly leaving behind the corpses in one place.

The astonishing combat power surprised the orc officers on the opposite side.

Although the state of his orc soldiers has declined due to the long battle, he will not be killed by a cavalry on the opposite side like chopping melons and vegetables.

This can only show one problem, that is, the strength of this enemy cavalry is definitely far beyond that of ordinary troops.

Then, before he could think about it, on the battlefield, variables regenerated.

The fierce beast chasing behind him still couldn't get rid of it, and on the retreat in front of him, there was a tiger that stood in the way!

It was a heavily armored army in black, and as it marched, it made no sound except for the sound of its feet stomping on the ground.

The whole team looks a little weird.

At the same time, it also caused a lot of psychological pressure on the retreating orc army.

"Die!"

A gnoll soldier who rushed to the front directly raised his bayonet and rushed forward.

In the roar of the gnolls, a black-armored warrior led by him moved, and while dodging the attack of the gnolls on his side, he directly raised the hideous giant axe in his hand, and then swung it down suddenly!

With the swing of the battle axe, the gnolls who were still shouting one moment ago split into two in the next.

The hot blood splattered on the pitch-black armor, and although it was not noticeable, it added a bit of solemnity to the heavy infantry unit.

There was no need for any orders at all, and this black-armored army had already started a massacre.

The orc soldiers rushing forward tried to force their way through the formation, but this was simply impossible.

The black-armored infantry led by him was like chopping melons and vegetables, and he forcibly killed them back, and then chased the camel heavy cavalry all the way up, directly forcibly dividing the battlefield in the most brutal way.

Among them, the cavalry general led by him even burst out with incredible terrifying combat power, wielding a big knife in his hand, and immediately killing a tiger man.

After a week of slaughter, the demoralized orc army completely collapsed, and then scattered and fled.

The cavalry general wanted to chase after him, but the camel under his seat was so tired that he was foaming at the mouth.

As a last resort, he could only give up his plan to continue the pursuit.

It was at this time that several veterans who led the infantry unit hurried over.

"In Lower Assam, how many are you?"

Depending on the situation, this should be a reinforcement sent by His Majesty, but in General Assam's memory, there does not seem to be such an army in his own army.

So in the uncertain situation, the tone of his speech was also a little polite.

Immediately, a man stepped out of the camel heavy cavalry, and after removing his visor and helmet, he revealed a typical Persian face.

I only heard him say in fluent Persian: "I have seen General Assam, and His Majesty sent us to support this side." ”

According to a set of theories that have been established for a long time, they are the elite troops directly under Dodoro Neal.

As for what the veterans thought, they didn't care, they couldn't think of anything anyway, and the person who spoke was wearing a typical Persian face, which was enough to dispel many doubts on the other side.

After nightfall, they did not enter the interior of the fortress on the grounds that it was convenient for the cavalry to enter and exit, but chose to camp outside.

In the tent, taking off the mask and helmet that had been worn all day, Qi You twisted his neck uncomfortably.

"The camel's physical strength is too poor, it's not used to riding at all, and even its eyesight is affected, when can we change back to the Black Cloud Horse?"

Hearing this, Xue Li said helplessly: "The Black Cloud Horse is too unique, according to Your Majesty's will, we have to hide our identities, and it is impossible to change back." And compared with ordinary war horses, the physical strength of camels is already much better, so you don't have to pick and choose. ”

After saying this, Xue Li turned to look at Xiong who was sitting on the side, and then turned the topic to business.

"General Xiong, what do you think of the next battle?"

In this regard, after pondering for a moment, Xiong said in a deep voice: "Actually, there is nothing to say, the fighting style of the orc army has always been simple and rude, and there are basically no tactics to speak of. In terms of infantry troops, we can handle it under the premise of controlling the opponent's strength to a certain number. What needs to be paid attention to is still the giant beast units and air units that did not show up. ”

Xue Li, who heard this, also nodded approvingly.

In order to repel the orc army of Velen Gale and successfully upgrade his Persian trumpet, this time, Xia Qi directly sent out the ace troops in his hand, the Imperial City Praetorian Guard.

Of course, in order to ensure the concealment of his identity, he naturally hid a special and conspicuous mount like the Black Cloud Horse and replaced it with a camel.

Even the armor on the Imperial City Guards has been slightly changed in appearance, mainly to make them more adaptable to the environment on this side of the desert.
