Chapter 421: Armageddon No. 9 Closing the Net
,
Bei Lin pointed to the river valley below, and said, "The tattoo is the death of the orcs!"
At this time, the martyrdom of the sunset dyed Lorraine with a red glow, and the cold wind blew his clothes slowly, and the solemn-looking warriors walked neatly past him, and the soldiers looked at their brave and warlike commanders with reverence. only
Standing on a high hill, Lorraine struck a triumphant pose, like the dwarf man who had also exclaimed "Europe is at my feet" on the top of the mountain.
Vera didn't give Lorraine a face-saving pat on the lips. yawned and said, "Young master, let's go down, it's so cold here." ”
General Ferdolis and General Rauchu wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh, and turned their faces away with strange expressions.
Lorraine grinned, and shone at Vera's head.
Vera's wide, watery eyes glared at Lorraine. said aggrievedly: "Are people tired, you still have to climb so high." ”
Lorraine froze, patting the dust off her body. Said helplessly: "Let's go, let's go." ”
Pulling Vera into the valley.
On the way, Lorraine leaned over to Vera's ear. said in a low voice: "Young master, did I look like a boom just now?"
Vera glanced at Lorraine helplessly and said, "Did you let me go to sleep when I said Labang?"
Lorraine nodded, and Vera hugged Lorraine's arm. Hanging on Lorraine's body, he grinned and said, "The young master is handsome to death." ”
Lorraine laughed and said, "Okay, say it again." ”
Vio"
The soldiers of the two legions rushed to the wooden bridge, assembled on the north bank of the river, and when they reached the local place, after the officers gave the order to "rest", the soldiers fell neatly.
They threw down their wraps, shook off the blankets, wrapped them around them, and lay down on the dead grass. I don't want to move anymore when I'm tired.
The slopes on the north bank of the valley were soon covered with black-brown military blankets.
Lorraine led Vera and the last of the warriors across the bridge, and the soldiers who had been waiting by the bridge since he stepped onto the north bank rushed up the bridge with axes, and slammed their axes on the bridge.
Lorraine stood on the shore and watched as his men demolished the four wooden bridges one by one, and the logs fell into the water one by one. With the current being washed away. Lorraine took a breath and said to the two generals, "Give the whole army an order." Let the soldiers know that we are here to stop the orcs. ”
After dark, the soldiers lit a bonfire, and the entire hillside was full of heads, but there was no noise, and the soldiers were already asleep, accumulating for the upcoming battle.
Lorraine sat on the ground without any image at the moment, took off his military boots, kept rubbing his swollen legs, and kept hurrying on the road with a breath, he didn't feel anything at the time, but after relaxing at the moment, Lorraine only felt that the whole person was soft, as if there were countless ants biting on the body, itchy and numb, and move his body. The whole person must tremble three times first.
"Hell," Lorraine grinned, grinning as she pinched her feet, "I don't even have a cup of hot water." ”
The men threw away all the pots and basins, and Lorraine had to nibble on dry food in the cold river water, just like the soldiers, and rubbed Vera with a lot of snacks by the way.
When Lorraine's head dozed off little by little, he suddenly felt some movement in front of him, and immediately opened his eyes, and saw Vera covering her mouth and nose with her hands, slowly falling to the ground.
Lorraine struggled to her feet with her hands on the trunk. Shaking his head, he said, "I'm back." ”
Vera nodded at first, then quickly and constantly shook her, and the ponytail shook from side to side. "Woo woo" I don't know what to hum.
"What's wrong?" Lorraine said hurriedly, hurriedly taking two steps towards Vera.
Vera let out a loud "uh-huh, uh-huh" and took a few steps back.
Lorinch said, "Silly girl, what are you doing?
Vera let go of her hands and said quickly, "You stink." ”
After speaking, he hurriedly covered his mouth again.
Lorraine smiled wryly as she put her boots on. He took a deep breath and said, "That's it." ”
Vera walked up to Lorraine with a heart, secretly let go of a slit with both hands, and smelled it as if there was really no smell, Vera took a deep breath and said, "It's normal." They're doing what you say, and the orcs aren't stopping all the way, they're coming there. ”
Lorraine nodded "oh", and suddenly with her hand stretched, Vera jumped backwards with an "ah", but was still caught by Lorraine.
Lorraine expertly pulled Vera down and pressed her to her lap, ignoring Vera's "Ahhhh Ahh With a few crisp sounds, Vera's face flushed, her big eyes were misty with water, her ruddy mouth was open and she was panting thinly, lying motionless on Lorraine's lap. Lorraine rubbed the fingers of her right hand with satisfaction, secretly praising in her heart that it still felt so good, and then pulled Vera to her feet.
Vera lay on Lorraine softly, looked up at Lorraine, pouted, and muttered: "It's going to bully people, and the young master is necrotic." ”
"Dare you say I stink. ”
"Do your feet stink and smell of sweat? ”
"Me"
When Lorraine led Vera back to the two corps commanders, General Ferdoris and General Rauchu looked at Vera who was blushing, and at the same time sighed in their hearts: It's good to be young.
Lorraine pushed Vera into the tent to sleep, sat cross-legged by the fire, and said to the two legion commanders with a smile: "One qiē shun lì, our people are already in place. ”
The two generals grinned, and General Lao Qiu said: "
When Lorraine woke up, the sky was already dark, and a faint mist drifted through the valley. Most of the soldiers were still sleeping, and when they woke up, they squatted by the river to wash their faces, and the slopes slowly stirred. More and more soldiers are being awakened and preparing for battle.
The last group of scouts returned from the south bank of the river, and after the scouts followed, they saw the thick, round heads of the orcs emerging from the south bank.
Seeing the appearance of the enemy, the soldiers quickly moved into action, and the officers shouted hoarsely, "Get up, get up." Prepare for battle. ”
The soldiers, who were still sleeping on the ground, tore open their stalls, jumped up from the ground, grabbed their weapons and armor and ran to their positions.
The soldiers of the two legions soon lined up along the banks of the river.
The only strikers that emerged from the other side were orcs, and the shear watched the humans line up here to fight, and they all wisely retreated, wandering far away from the riverbank.
As the sun rose, the aura in the valley quickly dissipated, and more and more orcs descended the valley. Gathered on the south bank of the river, they shouted incessantly at the human soldiers on the other side.
The banks of the river are covered with black figures. The sword reflected a cold light in the sun.
As the orcs gathered on the south bank grew, so did their boisterousness, with more than 50,000 people huddled together and lined up for miles along the slopes.
On the contrary, the human side is indeed quieter. Only the officers kept shouting the commands, mobilizing the soldiers and orcs to spread out accordingly.
The orcs didn't seem to be in a hurry to attack. Instead, he lit a fire in the back to cook, and seeing that the orcs did not attack, Lorraine ordered the soldiers to stay and rest.
The morning was spent in this atmosphere of confrontation.
In the afternoon, a large number of orcs retreated. Lorraine: They were still wondering. I saw the orcs carrying tree trunks of different thicknesses and starting to build rafts on the slopes.
The human soldiers' side suddenly became nervous. This means that the orcs are about to attack.
But the orcs didn't seem to be in a hurry, and after sweeping the whole area and cutting down all the trees. The orcs who had prepared a large number of rafts did not attack immediately, and the orc warriors all sat down on the south bank and rested.
General Lao Qiu looked at the orcs on the opposite side and said curiously, "What are they waiting for?"
Lorraine glanced up at the sky and said with a smile: "They are waiting for dark, and the orcs have much better eyesight than us at night." ”
General Lao Qiu pondered for a moment and said, "Are there any of their detours on the left and right flanks?"
Lorraine shook his head and said, "The scouts spread out along the upstream and downstream twenty miles, and there is no sign of a detour of the half-orcs, and fifty thousand people say that it is a lot less." It's not too much, and if you want to force your way under our resistance, you can't do it without more than twice as many people. Prepare for the battle, the moon is nice tonight. God help us. ”
After raising their hands and saluting, General Lauqiu and Ferdolis left the Chinese army and rushed to the left and right flanks to command the troops.
As the sun began to sink in the west, the orcs dragged the raft on the slope to prepare for the line
Knowing that this moment had finally come, the human soldier took advantage of his armor, tightened his grip on his weapon, and stared at the other side with round eyes.
The last rays of afterglow vanished, the sky darkened, and a full moon hung in the eastern sky. A silver-gray glow covered the entire battlefield.
There was a loud shout, followed by a sudden dull trumpet on the south bank, and on the front, which was five miles wide, the orcs roared in unison, dragging the raft towards the river.
The officer of the Eastern Legion commanded at the top of his voice: "Archers prepare, put."
A rain of arrows shot out of the Eastern Legion's position, rushing towards the south bank like a wave of light across the river, followed by the screams of the orcs.
The orcs, rushing through a rain of arrows, pushed the raft into the river. Exposed to human bows and arrows, they jumped up and rowed desperately towards the north bank, like duckweed in a pond, and the river was instantly filled with orcs.
The archers aim at the raft in the river. Dense arrows rushed past, and the orcs on the raft could only resist with shields, and the half-orcs kept falling into the water with arrows.
The patriarchs who couldn't wait behind watched the half-orc warriors on the raft kill and wound more than half of them in an instant, and commanded their subordinates to simply swim over.
It only took a few minutes for the orcs to cross the narrow river, and before they could reach the shore, the orcs on the raft couldn't wait to jump into the water. Wading waist-deep water towards the shore.
The soldiers of the Eastern Legion lined up in a neat phalanx. Raise your spear and kill the orcs on the upper shore, and the two sides fought a few paces away from the river.
The orcs on the south bank pulled the rope tied to the raft and pulled the raft back to the south bank. Another group of orcs jumped on the raft and slaughtered the north shore.
At this moment, the orcs who had just come ashore had almost been killed, and the orcs who rushed up jumped over their corpses and crashed into the spears of the human soldiers.
The front is too wide, the 10,000-year-old people are distributed on a five-mile-long front, the formation of the human soldiers is very thin, and the second group of half-orcs who rushed up have not been killed, and those who have crossed the river have already rushed up.
The orcs were like the waves of the sea, impacting the human phalanx wave after wave, and as more and more orcs came ashore, the soldiers of the Eastern Legion felt more and more pressure.
The phalanx of the Eastern Legion was covered with the corpses of the orcs, but there were more and more new orcs joining the warband, and the Eastern Legion was under their pressure. Start step backwards. The moon was bright and the stars were scarce, and Lorraine saw at the top of the slope that the broad battle line was still coherent, and it was not broken through by the orcs, and the two generals controlled the left and right flanks very well, and maintained the same pace with the Chinese army.
Looking at the non-stop aftermath of the six and ten soldiers, he gave way to a few dozen feet on the shore. The slack-hip horn made the patriarchs rejoice, so that they could commit more troops.
The shooting of the archers of the Eastern Legion gradually slowed down, and pulling the bow and releasing the arrows was just a very simple action, but it was extremely exhausting, and the archers' arms were already sore at the moment.
Looking at the orcs who had landed on the south bank, there were probably six or seven thousand of them, and the number was increasing rapidly, and Lorraine turned his head and looked to the east worriedly.
Vera knew what Lorraine was thinking, stepped forward and pulled Lorraine's arm, and said, "Don't worry." Young master, they have already been in place for a long time. ”
Lorraine nodded, patted Vera's hand, and said, "I know, but don't let anything happen, I don't want to be the shorty man of Waterloo." ”
Vera nodded as if she didn't understand, and her hand clenched Lorraine's arm.
"This won't work," Lorraine said suddenly. Then he turned to the officer beside him and ordered: "Stride back three hundred feet, let the cavalry charge once." ”
Following the order, the Eastern Legion soldiers who were fighting with the orcs suddenly strode back, and the orcs thought that the humans could not withstand their pressure, so they were overjoyed and followed the footsteps of the human soldiers. The drums and trumpets sounded at the same time, and the Eastern Army showed their battle-hardened skills, and although the two wings retreated slightly later than the Chinese army, the whole front was still not in chaos.
After retreating more than a hundred steps, the sound of the trumpet changed, and the soldier took a step and resisted the orc.
Following the rumbling sound of horses' hooves from the right flank, a cavalry unit rose from the flank and charged along the river bank at the orcs who were attacking the humans.
The unprepared orcs were panicked by the sudden blow from the flank, and the cavalry troops ran through the wide battle line. Leaving behind the corpses of half-orcs, and even the half-orcs who were fighting the humans head-on, before the cavalry could rush in front of them. He hurriedly retreated and jumped into the river.
The pressure on the front was light, and the officers shouted "up" and stepped over the corpses of the half-orcs. Advance back to the bank of the river.
The orc patriarchs on the other side shouted and cursed, thinking that victory was in sight just now, and they retreated back to the same place in a blink of an eye.
However, the orc patriarchs were still full of confidence. From the battle situation just now, it can be seen that the orcs have enough strength to defeat the human race from the river bank, and as for the cavalry of more than 1,000 people, they can rush a few times, and as long as they are prepared next time. Blocking them is not a problem.
The earth-shattering shouts of killing did not stop, and the south bank of the river valley was already covered with a layer of corpses, and the brighter the moon became, even the banners of the orcs on the opposite side were dimly visible.
After more than a year of fierce fighting, the human soldiers were already slightly tired, and there were nearly 20,000 orcs crossing the southern bank.
Lorraine's brows tightened, and he frequently turned his head to look east.
Vera followed suit, looking eastward. Suddenly, Vera pulled Lorraine's arm, and Lorraine staggered, and shouted in surprise: "They are coming, young master, look, they are coming." ”
Lorraine stared intently, seeing nothing but the gray and hazy earth, and Wei stretched out her hand. "Right there, there's a big group of people."
Lorraine held his breath and stared straight into the distance, as if he saw some shaking black dots in the distance, and the amplitude of these black dots increased until Lorraine saw that it was a group of cavalry galloping along the riverbank.
"Whew," Lorraine took a deep breath. I only felt a lightness in my heart, and my legs were a little soft.
Lorraine, who had gasped, looked up to the sky and laughed. He grabbed Vera and kissed her delicate mouth in the midst of Vera's exclamation.
Vera began to shake her arms a few times, then pressed her two hands on Lorraine's shoulders, and then wrapped her arms around Lorraine's neck, hanging weakly on Lorraine's body.
A few minutes later, Lorraine left Vera's lips, raised her head and took a breath, Vera buried her head in Lorraine's chest, as red as a ripe apple, her mouth opened and she gasped slightly, her tongue stuck out and licked her lips, and then suddenly "Ahhh pushed Lorraine away, stared at Lorraine with big watery eyes, and said anxiously: "It's over, it's over, this time it must have a needle's eye." ”
Lorraine rubbed Vera's head and smiled, "Silly girl, your mother lied to you." ”
Vera looked at Lorraine pitifully and said, "Really?"
"Of course it's true
The officer next to him coughed. Looking down at his toes, he said, "My lord, a team of cavalry has come, under our banner. ”
Lorraine nodded and said, "That's our reinforcements, let them come and see me." ”
The officer was stunned and said, "Reinforcements?." Then the husband shouted, "We have reinforcements."
The cavalry galloped all the way to the banner of the Chinese army, and the soldiers jumped off their horses and said loudly, "Where is the governor?"
Luo Linzhou beckoned and said, "I'm here."
The soldier rushed to Lorraine in two steps, raised his hand in salute, and said loudly: "Your Excellency, Alva, the lord of Nimmes, reports to you
Lorraine returned the salute and said with a smile: "Lord Zerva, how far is the army you are leading from here?"
"Less than an hour away," said Lord Alva respectfully.
"Very good" Lorraine turned his head to look at the fierce battlefield below, and said, "Give orders to the two generals." Full contraction, it's time for the fish to go into the net. ”
