After about an hour of fierce fighting, the human warship finally collapsed completely under this embarrassing predicament, one by one the warships were sunk, and countless sailors and sailors jumped into the water - at this time, they did not take the initiative to go into the water to meet the enemy - a large number of sailors saw that the situation was in danger, and had to jump off the boat to survive, and for a while, the river was crowded with people, and these sailors swam towards the river bank to try to escape.

However, in this chaos, the hippopotamus orcs wantonly hunted and killed human sailors, some of them were devoured and bitten by the hippopotamus orcs in the water, some were injured and drowned, and some of them forgot to distinguish the direction in a panic, but swam to the north shore! As soon as they landed, they fell under the minions of the wolf cavalry of the orcs who had been waiting on the shore for a long time.

General Dominguez, who was on the shore, turned pale at the sight, and he roared and screamed in pain, but he had nothing to do with the situation on the water.

Seeing that the fleet was sunk, the entire river was covered with broken planks and dead bodies, and the blood stained the entire nearby river channel red!

On the water, the terrible screams of the sailors shook the sky, and the human soldiers on the shore changed one after another.

Although there were also soldiers on the shore, those who were familiar with the water were the first to jump into the river and try to rescue their colleagues, but most of these people who jumped into the water fell prey to the hippopotamus orcs. On the water, the shadows of beasts can be seen everywhere, and the hippopotamus orcs are in the limelight in this battle!

In this battle, the hippopotamus clan among the orc clan was originally only a small tribe, and the whole clan only had less than eight thousand in number, but this time it invested more than three thousand hippopotamus orcs at a time. Suddenly, the water surface of this area turned into a hellish death zone.

Before evening, the sun was only slightly setting to the west, but the battle above the river had come to an end. This flotilla stationed in the Eastern Fortress. Eight Imperial Sea Soul-class warships, all sunk!

More than 3,000 sailors were killed, the water was full of floating corpses, and the face of the river had completely turned into a chilling dark red sè.

At the end of the battle, on the surface of the river, the heads of a dense and terrifying hippopotamus orcs appeared, and thousands of hippopotamus orcs roared wildly on the water, wantonly screaming and intimidating at humans.

The human soldiers on the shore fell into a deathly silence. Many soldiers bit their lips and looked miserable. But he watched his colleagues on the water being killed, and General Dominguez clenched his fists. The fingertips pierced the palm, and the blood was dripping!

In the evening, the humans tried to stop a counterattack, and were ordered to mobilize a brigade of one hundred and fifty airships. Under the strict orders of Dominguez. Immediately plunged into battle...... However, what awaited them was a more miserable result than a battle on the water! When one airship after another flew overhead, it once boosted the morale of the human army! Those airships with the imperial thorn flower totem flew towards the north shore in formation, and the bombs hanging under the airships like tired eggs carried a faint cold light.

But, above the sky. Soon a large number of dense shadows appeared in the north, and from a distance, it looked like a large dense flock of birds.

When they flew closer, they revealed their true colors!

A large number of jīng spirits flew in, and those jīng spirits soared in the sky with their natural wings. After approaching the airship. Quickly break into pieces and disperse with a bang!

One by one jīng spirit. Flying deftly, holding the bow in his hand, he began a clever encirclement of the airship. All of the archers of the Jīng Spirit Clan have magical talents, and thousands of Jīng Spirit Archers have joined, which immediately brought disaster to the human earth airship troops!

In front of the dexterous jīng spirit, the weakness of the airship, its heavy weight, slow flight speed, and lack of air-to-ground counterattack ability were all revealed!

One airship after another, as if stuck in a quagmire, often surrounded by dozens of jīng spirits, those jīng spirits are like flying flies, flashing around, with the jīng spirit clan's purple sè magic light of the arrow shè out, although the human airship, those leather balloons have been thickened before the war, but no matter how thick the leather is, under the jīng spirit clan's bows and arrows with magic power, it still looks so fragile......

It was as if sparks were blooming in the sky, and one by one, after being pierced by a magic bow and arrow, exploded under the light of magic and turned into balls of fire.

This group of human air forces are all air forces that have received rigorous training in the northwest, and many people bravely pick up bows and arrows and fight those jīng spirits, but those jīng spirits who are flying all over the sky are so easy to be shè? Even if they are occasionally hit, but the jīng spirit clan is a race that is born with magical talents, and these jīng spirits are covered with gorgeous armor, and those hollow patterns seem to be fragile, but they often carry some kind of strange magic blessing. The ordinary bows and arrows of the forest thunder human warriors are difficult to effectively kill them.

A large group of airship troops seemed to be caught in a sea of clouds, one airship after another was quickly swallowed up, and above the sky, some airships turned into a fire after the balloon exploded, and some fell from the sky after the balloon was pierced.

Only less than one-in-one of the airships, in a hurry, dropped the bombing bombs, but unfortunately, this hasty bombardment, the quasi-head is really not worth mentioning, almost no effective damage to the orcs on the ground.

Compared to the battle in the sky on the water, humanity loses even more!

One hundred and fifty airships, all of them were wiped out, and not a single airship could fly back!!

More than 1,000 air force soldiers were killed, more than half of them died tragically under the sharp bows and arrows of the Jīng Spirit Clan, while the other half were turned into flames in the air by the explosion of the airship, and the rest fell from the sky in despair. Some fell from the sky, and even if they miraculously landed on the trees and were injured for a while, they were quickly captured by the orc wolf cavalry patrolling the north bank......

By the time the sun went down, there was silence on the battlefield!

The human fleet was wiped out on the river, and the airship troops in the sky were wiped out.

Watching this scene take place blankly, General Dominguez, the Supreme Commander of the Eastern Fortress. His face turned pale, and at last he shook his body, opened his mouth and spurted out a mouthful of blood, and then the man fell off his horse. The soldiers around him hurriedly went up and hugged him.

At this time, the orcs on the north bank began to cross the river!

On the river, the orcs of the hippopotamus tribe have become the vanguard of building pontoon bridges, these hippopotamus people with huge bodies and terrifying strength. It doesn't even take much effort to drop the wood into the water. Then, with their natural water, they quickly erected bridge piers one by one on the surface of the river.

The humans on the south shore still fought back, the archers continued to shoot, and the catapults roared. But after dealing with the human airship troops. Those densely jīng spirits soaring in the sky. Immediately pounced on the human army on the ground on the south bank!!

These jīng spirits, who fly to and fro like the wind, use one accurate arrow after another, wantonly plundering the lives of human soldiers.

And in the face of the enemy in the sky, the human army finally experienced the horror of the "air force" for themselves!

On the river, the orcs were building pontoon bridges faster and faster, and under the influence of the hippopotamus, soon wooden planks were erected one by one, and the bridge piers stood on the water one by one.

The human army is sworn to resist to the death, and the archers have to deal with the jīng spirit that attacks from the air. On the one hand, you have to hit the river on the other side. The infantry raised their shields and formed a phalanx to resist the jīng spirit arrows flying in the sky.

From time to time, arrows penetrated through the gaps in the shields, and the screams of the soldiers were heard.

The human catapults and ballistas on the shore became the priority targets for the jīng spirits. With one catapult after another being destroyed. And human soldiers, some to protect the ballista. The whole person was lying on the ballista, using his body as a shield, and some people were directly nailed to the ballista stand by the long arrow of the jīng spirit!

Despite all the difficulties, the orcs still paid a considerable price in the process of crossing the river, and in the process of building the pontoon bridge, the hippopotamus tribe that was full of hideousness in the water battle just now was finally hit hard by the human archer troops after coming to the surface, and one by one huge hippos, if not hidden underwater, then their huge bodies were the best targets for the archers to aim at.

Those huge hippos often have dozens or even hundreds of arrows pierced on their bodies, covered in blood, and struggle and roar in the water......

When night fell, the pontoon bridge was finally built, and when the pontoon bridge extended to the south bank, the human infantry immediately ignored the rain of arrows in the sky, and rushed frantically to the riverbank, and some even swam towards the hippos in the water.

In the shallows, where the water reached only the waist of a man, the soldiers did their best, holding shields against the rain of arrows and slashing at the hippos with their swords.

The battle for the shoals was particularly fierce, and this shoal even turned into a meat grinder! In a short period of time, a large number of infantry died on the river beach, and the bodies of many soldiers were still floating on the water after they died, and the scene was extremely tragic. And the hippopotamus suffered the biggest collision since the start of the war, in the battle to seize the river beach, in the short battle of this hour, there were more than 300 hippopotamus orcs killed and wounded, in the face of the huge hippopotamus orcs, although the human body is at an absolute disadvantage, but it is like a swarm of ants swarming up, spears and swords in their hands, desperate to stab the enemy.

The corpses gradually accumulated, and the river beach almost became a huge corpse field!

On the shoal, when the first team of orcs, stepping on the pontoon bridge built by the hippopotamus orcs on the river, finally crossed the river and came to the south bank, the bank was almost full of corpses, and there was no place to stay.

Without the warship on the water, on the river, the strategy of "half-crossing and attacking" that mankind had expected before was completely unrealizable. The only threat the orcs had to face when crossing the river was the human archers' shè blows - and the human archers' shè blows were getting weaker and weaker, after all, the human soldiers had to face jīng spirit blows from the air.

First team, second team, third team......

In the process of crossing the river, the humans launched two sworn counterattacks, and once recaptured the south bank, but under the counterattack of the hippo tribe, the orcs re-established the bridgehead on the south bank. And as more and more orcs crossed the river. A thick phalanx formation was formed on the south bank, resisting the momentum of the human counterattack.

Finally, when the moon rose in the sky and the stars first appeared, the morale of human beings finally inevitably weakened.

After fighting from evening to midnight, humanity paid three infantry regiments to be wiped out, two infantry regiments were crippled and suffered heavy losses, and human soldiers were killed in battle on the shallows on the south bank. Orc warriors, corpses of hippos. They fell together regardless of each other, and some of them remained in a fighting posture after death.

The orcs finally gained a foothold in the shallows of the south bank, and one by one the phalanxes cracked tightly. Stubbornly holding the position. Behind more and more orc armies, striding from the pontoon bridge, rushing to the south bank!

General Dominguez had already drawn two more regiments of reserves from the city, but seeing that the general situation had turned, he knew in his heart that the line of defense of the river had been lost!

In fact, since the human fleet was sunk on the banks of the river, this fact has been irreversible! Then this big river is already difficult to provide much protection for the human defense line. With such a momentum, even if you can block the orcs from crossing the river today, then tomorrow, the day after tomorrow...... It's always irresistible!

General Dominguez's eyes were red. There was still blood on the corner of his mouth. At this time, even though his heart was extremely sad and indignant. But he had to give the order for the army to retreat - while there was still a chance, he had to take people back to the fortress, and in the future he could only defend the fortress!

If it is delayed any longer, once the orc army rushes across the river more and more and completes the rectification on the south bank, then the Ouroboros will chase and kill, and my own army may not even have a chance to return to the city!!

At night, finally, the Jīng Spirit Race began to retreat first, and these terrible races in the air, after some fighting, finally retreated to rest. Because, the strategic plan for crossing the river has been completed, and there is no need for them to continue to put pressure on humanity.

And the orders of the human commander were issued one by one, and even though there was a thousand hatreds and anger in their hearts, the human army had to retreat one after another.

And at this time, seeing that human beings seemed to be about to give up on the robbery of the river beach, the few orc phalanxes that had already crossed the river were cunningly approaching!

It seems that the orcs have a great appetite, not only wanting to occupy the river, but also trying to swallow the human army guarding the river in one gulp!

Dominguez immediately sensed the danger of the situation, and at this point, he had to make a decision: one of the troops had to be left behind, and then the large army would have a chance to retreat back to the city. Otherwise, I'm afraid the whole army will be firmly bitten to death by the enemy! But...... Leaving the broken army behind, I'm afraid it will be nine deaths, and there will be no chance of survival!!

At this time, without waiting for Dominguez to issue this difficult order, a general at the forefront of the human army, who had already understood the battle situation, suddenly ordered the standard-bearer to wave the flag, and then raised his long sword, roared, and countless warriors under his command rushed towards the muddy river beach!

Dominguez is behind, and the banner is clearly visible, and the content of the flag is clearly as follows:

Die for the Empire!

This commander of the Eastern Fortress knows the front-line general, who is the division commander of the Sixth Infantry Division under the command of the Stormwind Legion, Major General Fink! This major general is a famous brave general in the Storm Legion, and he is also known as the Young Zhuang faction, he and the son of the corps commander Lord Rostock, Rochenthal, has the reputation of "Tiger Lion Cub" in the Storm Legion, Royenthal is called "Tiger Cub", and this Fink is called "Lion Youngster"!

The two of them are known as the twin stars among the younger generation of generals of the Storm Legion!

And in today's battle, the division led by Fink the young lion is at the forefront, and in the battle of the Disabled People's Federation for the river beach, his division has been crippled and suffered heavy losses......

At this moment, seeing the banner in front of him, Dominguez knew that it was the young lion General Fink who had taken the initiative to take on the heavy responsibility ......of breaking off! It's begging for death!

At this time, Dominguez has no time to grieve, as a general, he must bring this army back to the city to garrison!

At the sound of an order, the rear army began to retreat in groups, leaving the battlefield, and in front, the young lion Finke, had already used the most high-spirited roar to boost the morale of the remnants of his soldiers, commanding the few remaining soldiers around him, and one by one towards the orc phalanx that was forced to come from the river beach!

At this time, there are no tears! All tears have been burned into blood.

The last reserve team around him had already rushed forward, and the major general who had broken off the Imperial Division was already at the forefront, there were no soldiers in front of him, and on the shoal in front, his subordinates were using their flesh and blood to firmly delay the orcs who were trying to pursue!

Looking left and right, there were less than two hundred guards left.

The two hundred guards were all cavalry - although Fink was the commander of the infantry division, as the commander of the division, the major general of the empire, it was also his prerogative to guard all cavalry.

There is no need to hesitate at this moment. He grabbed the captain of the pro-soldier beside him, his eyes bloodshot, and issued one last order to him:

"You take ten people...... Go get those catapults, ballistas, and ballistas we left behind...... Destroy them all!Set fire! Not a single piece of wood will be left for these enemies!!"

The captain of the pro-soldier also knew that today was the time of death, but there was no fear on his face, he gritted his teeth and agreed with tears, and immediately led ten people to dismount and light torches.

Fink the young lion looked behind him, and the group of men and horses had left the battlefield under the leadership of Dominguez, and retreated far towards the fortress city defense. He breathed a sigh of relief.

General Fink's young face was full of determination, and he knew that he was going to die today--hmph, that Rochenthal, I am afraid that I will not be able to fight him in the future!

Rochenthal, my young lion Fink, stronger than you! braver than you!!

Brush!

The saber was drawn by him and raised high, and Fink shouted at the cavalrymen of the personal guard, who were less than 200 people beside him: "Brothers! Today is our time of death! Even if we are all dead, there is absolutely no shame in the banner of the Sixth Division!

The shouts of two hundred people are like tens of thousands of heroes at this moment: "Don't be afraid!!"

"Okay!

The young general laughed wildly, raised his sabre, kicked the spurs, and galloped towards the river beach, and behind him, two hundred cavalry of the personal guards followed without hesitation, and not one of them hesitated for half a minute! The banks of the Eastern Front were all lost, the fleet and airship units of the Eastern Fortress were completely annihilated, 1,000 air forces and 3,000 sailors were killed, and the infantry officers and men of a division died heroically!

And Fink, the young lion, became the highest-ranking general killed among the Imperial soldiers since the beginning of the war.

This battle ...... Not a single person from the Sixth Infantry Division of the Imperial Storm Regiment under his command survived, including the general himself!

And on the battlefield, the last slogan is the last cry of the young lion General Fink:

Follow me!!
