Chapter 365: Honkai Battlefield
Orgrim's tactics are as simple and brutal as ever, with a strong orc style.
Break through the Alliance's defenses head-on with the powerful infantry legions of the Orcs, divide and disintegrate one part to annihilate it, and if things go well, you can also launch a full-scale attack and crush the Alliance head-on.
However, the alliance side, as always, adopted the method of leveling the battle line, stacking each unit as much as possible to avoid being broken by each one.
In the past, the orcs' violent fighting style had left a strong impression on all the countries of the Alliance, and only a tight defense could withstand such an attack......
Old Henry held his spear and followed his infantry phalanx slowly, from the farmer of Southsea Town to the guard of the royal family of Alterac, from the leisurely agricultural life to the desperate struggle of running to the wetlands and savage orcs, Old Henry felt that the experience of the past year was like a dream.
First, he followed the militia team of Nanhai Town to Alterac to participate in the war with the frostwolf orcs, and watched the old king Aiden being 'sacrificed'.
The old Henry, who was lucky enough not to die, also advanced from the spear militia to the spear infantry.
Incorporated into the Prince's Council, he fought a bad battle with the nobles for several months, from Alterac City all the way to Dloon Mill City, and the old Henry was lucky, not only was he lucky not to hang up, but he was also promoted two ranks because of his military exploits.
Became a fourth-class infantryman, the Otalterac Janissaries.
As soon as I arrived at the front line of the wetlands today, I encountered a major counterattack by the orcs, so I followed my troops to the battlefield.
Some people say that war brings life to the world, and Henry Sr. is not sure if this is true, but one thing he is sure of is that war does bring him vitality.
When he was farming in Nanhai Town last year, he was still old and would hang up at any time, and he was scared to death when he encountered a few fishmen.
Now that he has been fighting for two years, his muscles are almost breaking through his armor, and his physique is as strong as a bull.
Hey! Kill! Hey! Kill!
The Alterac royal guards were the infantry of the resistance line, standing in a propped formation to resist the waves of orc charges, and the elder Henry could feel the sensation of metal piercing flesh every time he stabbed his spear.
These savage orcs were almost fearless, frantically rushing to the phalanx, a savage assault without tactics.
This violent style of play broke the line at one point, and a phalanx on the left was cut through the center, and it was almost instantly slashed and killed by the orcs who rushed into the phalanx.
But looking at the tragic death of his companion, old Henry did not have the slightest fear, what is there to fear? Isn't it death, the Holy Light will bring the souls of the war dead into the world of light, and enjoy peace forever.
Hey! Kill! Hey! Kill!
Old Henry shouted a slogan and thrust his spear out again, and the 7th Praetorian Guard Brigade of Alterac withstood the attack as usual.
Darkseid (Prince Alterac): "Withstand!" Haha, I finally withstood this wave of attacks, these orcs are so fucking fierce, they almost collapsed Lao Tzu's lineage. β
Victor (Prince Alterac): "This legion buff of the will of light is really useful, the morale has increased by 30 points, and these soldiers are completely free of collapse - the whole army is attacking!" β
Teacher Ma (Prince Alterac): "I took this army to brush seven or eight noble rebel armies, and the training degree has long been full, and there will be absolutely no collapse." β
All morning, the Alliance and the Horde concentrated their main forces and fought as they fought in the muddy swamps where the fog had cleared.
The Horde launched a frontal assault with sixteen orc infantry clan legions, pushing the Alliance's front to the Darkwater River for a time.
However, all the units of the alliance strictly defended and advanced and retreated together, and the front line was never divided.
The Knights of the Silver Hand seized the opportunity to launch a fierce attack from the right flank, not only directly stopping the advance of the orcs, but also defeating the wolf knight legions who came to the line.
The orcs dispatched an army of cavalry, including the Hell Boar Knights, Steppenwolf Cavalry, and Troll Velociraptor Raiders, to launch interspersed attacks from multiple points.
But the knights of the alliance countries were brave and good at fighting, especially this kind of head-to-head confrontation, and each time the cavalry of the tribe was pushed back.
The Overlord Knife ruthlessly looked at the corpses everywhere, the Overlord Clan had lost too many warriors here, and now there were only three thousand Hell Boar Knights left to fight.
A herald galloped in.
"The Great Chief orders you to charge again, and the Black Rock Wolf Knight will fight alongside you."
"Tell the Great Chief! There is no one to retreat from the Sword Clan, brothersβcharge with me! β
The overlord said ruthlessly with a wave of the sword, and the boar knight went forward to kill the past, he didn't dare to retreat, the tribe of the intelligence pit directly lost strategically yesterday, and he could feel that Orgrim really wanted to kill.
If you say anything today, you have to fight, it depends on who runs first, and the first one to run will definitely be rectified.
Fortunately, his clan was not the only one who launched the charge, as the wolf cavalry joined his Hell Boar Knights like a tide, and then collided with the Knights of the Alliance.
The wounded boar let out the sound of a dying horn, the roar of the orcs, the cries of the humans, and the sound of swords chopping all over the place.
The overlord ruthlessly brandished the magic iron war knife, and cut off the head of a human knight with a single sword, looking at the battle line of the human knight in front of him who was getting thinner and thinner, and a glimmer of hope was born in his heart.
There is a door!
At this moment, a group of white horse cavalry swept through the distance like a wind.
The elven archers who stood on the horse were all colors, and they bent their bows and arrows from a distance, shooting waves of arrows.
Puff puff! The orc cavalry, lacking armor, fell in pieces.
My day, there are still archers? The overlord sword was ruthless, frightened and angry, and the wolf cavalry overseers who were with him still wanted to chase and kill, but he had already seen that this elven archers were all top-level war horses, and the elves were light, and they ran completely like the wind, and they couldn't catch up at all.
Sure enough, the wolf cavalry who was chasing out was shot by a kite from a distance before they could get close, and they couldn't get in at all.
"Retreat! Fall back! The sword roared mercilessly, turned around and ran.
Haha, cool!
Swiftly skimming across the battlefield and bending their bows and arrows, this wind-swept cavalry army of elven ranger knights from Quel'Thallas was also an experimental force, no ranger general had ever linked an archer to a cavalry in the past millennia, but this combination of bows and arrows and warhorses proved to be very powerful, with both mobility and ranged attack capabilities.
Dealing with orcs who lack countermeasures is simply a weft reduction strike.
Sylvanas Windranger (Ranger General): "Aurelia, I'm not mistaken, the Archers will be a revolution in military affairs. β
Aurelia Windranger couldn't help but marvel at the fallen orcs, and glanced at the second sister next to her with some admiration, "Second sister, you are really a military genius, you can come up with such a tactic." β
Sylvanas Windranger (Ranger General): "Haha, it's actually all the advice provided by the fourth prince, and I also established this unit with the mentality of giving it a try, but I didn't expect it to work so well." β
A handsome blonde elf rode alongside Sylvanas, "Well, I'm just providing some ideas, thanks to General Sylvanas's excellent leadership." β
Saying that, he smiled gently at Sylvanas, Sylvanas also had the happy attitude of a little woman, and the two of them frowned, but they were envious of the licking dogs around them.
"Oh my god, Queen Xi is going to let people soak away, I can't bear it, I can't bear it."
"Hell, the prince is amazing, sure enough, women are realistic, Lao Tzu helps you brush your prestige and materials every day, and you don't even look at Lao Tzu with a look, and you will fall with a look from the prince."
"Queen Xi, you can't do this to us."
Sylvanas frowned, these adventurers who had been around her all day were really a bit of a headache for him, if it wasn't for the fact that it was still useful in battle, it would have taught them a lesson.
ββββββ
The defeat of the cavalry exchange cost the tribe the initiative in the battle.
The infantry offensive was constantly flanked by cavalry, which led to huge losses in troops, in order to maintain the offensive.
At about one o'clock in the afternoon, the last reserve of the orcs was put into battle.
In order to increase the number of troops, even those adventurers who were not very taken seriously were gathered and sent to the battlefield in one go
The corpses of both sides spread from Broken Spear Ridge to Thorn Fortress.
"Hold on! Resist it! β
"For the Horde!"
", I can't fight anymore, let's withdraw."
In the end, the adventurers of the tribe are still one year behind the adventurers of the alliance, and even if they are given a buff to add experience after opening, the level is still a lot worse.
At this time, the frontal battlefield was completely pressed and beaten, and it was all because of a passion that there was no rout.
"Kill, kill!" Urg Brute roared and brandished his battle axe, and his overseer, the Big Guy, brandished his banner and yelled at his infantry.
"Fuck, fuck me! Warsong orcs will never be slaves, give them all to me! β
"Withdraw the big guy!" The poisoner Jia Xu looked at the gradually collapsing battlefield and persuaded vigorously.
"Withdraw a few handfuls, Lao Tzu's soldiers have all died here, and Lao Tzu will die here today."
"Your number is hundreds of thousands, and if you die, it's all over."
"Hundreds of thousands are hundreds of thousands, when Lao Tzu has no money, if you don't fight for steamed buns today, I won't believe it!"
At this point, the players are starting to get up, and they can't care about saving their strength.
Thundered! The sound of horses' hooves sounded from the right, and groups of Union cavalry slaughtered with great vigour.
When the big guy saw it, his eyes immediately turned red.
", it's the Union cavalry again, what about the cavalry of the Horde? Where are they all dead? β
Woooooo
The horn of the withdrawal suddenly sounded.
The big guy even dropped the battle flag, but he could only start to retreat.
The chaotic orcs crowded and pushed, and as soon as they lost the momentum of the attack, the formation immediately collapsed.
Fortunately, the orc's spell-casting force was still very complete, and the shamans on the hill were in a lightning storm to cover the infantry retreating.
This was followed by an ultra-long-range confrontation of the siege forces of both sides.
The coalition's front began to push back.
The Horde made several more charges, but each time made no progress except for the loss of more orc infantry.
By three o'clock in the afternoon, the front had been pushed back to where it had been in the morning.
"Great Chief, the Badao Clan has withdrawn, and there are only more than a thousand of them left."
Orgrim (Grand Chief): "Hmph, the ruthlessness of the overlord is a bit bloody, so arrange for his people to fix it." β
"Great Chief, the Bloody Hand Tu Clan has fled, they have fled the battlefield and fled to the mountains to the east."
Orgrim (High Chief): "Send wolf cavalry to hunt them down, these cowards must pay for their incompetence and bring me back the head of the strongest son-in-law." β
"Great Chief, the Fifth Adventurer's Legion is completely destroyed."
Orgrim (High Chief): "Adventurer...... They are much more heroic than I imagined, and I will award these adventurers who participated in the battle the title of [Tribal Fearless Warriors] and record their stories for more orcs to know! β
"Great Chief, the Coalition's infantry is closing in on our lines."
Orgrim (Grand Chief): "Coming so fast...... Prepare for the battle, get both Neozu and the Grogo Eye ready, the Horde needs the support of their spells, and let the Dragonmaw Clan send all of their air forces to cover.
Let all the Goron war beasts go out and attack from the left flank, let the ogre wizards charge with the infantry, let the goblin sappers blast the dam and prepare for the torrent offensive, hum, the wastes of the Alliance, just let you know how good I am! β
Despite the horde's severe setbacks, Orgrim did not give up the chance to win.
As early as three days ago, he had already arranged a follow-up move, in the upper reaches of the nearby river, arranged for the shaman to use earth element spells to build a dam, and open the dam at a critical moment, which could not only cover the retreat, but also be used for attack.
And he has been hiding a few hole cards in his hand, the Goron War Beast, the Ogre Wizard, and the Goblin Demolition Sapper, and he has not been dispatched.
What you want is suddenness.
Today, however, the war was destined to make Orgrim despair.
At four o'clock in the afternoon, the coalition launched a counteroffensive on all fronts.
At four o'clock, the Storm Dragon King led the alliance air force dragoons to raid the dam upstream of the river, and it seemed that he had already known the strategy of the orcs, and the orc troops responsible for defending the dam collapsed in an instant under the attack of the huge air force.
At 4:20, the Golon War Beast Cluster encountered a precise attack from the Alliance's artillery, and the huge siege beast was powerless in the face of 152 heavy artillery, and suffered heavy casualties.
At 4:30, the Screaming Clan, the Departing Clan, and the Shabak Clan suddenly turned back and chose to surrender to the Alliance, exposing a huge gap, and the Alliance's Knight Legion rushed into the gap and divided the tribe's front.
The tribes were thrown into disarray and fought on their own.
At 4:40, the Warlock Legion gave up the battle, and almost at the same time Neozu also led the Shaman Legion to withdraw from the battle, and a large number of clans began to withdraw from the battlefield.
At 4:55, the Dragon's Throat Clan chose to retreat after a confrontation with the Alliance Air Force, sending a retreat signal.
Orgrim led his Blackstone Guard to the last moment, retreating with the remnants of the orc force until Camp Furyfang.
After this battle, the tribe lost more than 200,000 troops, and completely lost the power to attack head-on in the wetlands.
