Chapter Seventy-Four: Attacking Before and After
Shamok has not recovered from his injuries and has been sent to the rear, and Bastruan is the supreme commander of the orc brigade.
Now Bastruan has died in battle, causing great confusion in the morale of the orcs.
Especially the main force of the orcs, the Minotaurs, Bastruan is their spiritual leader and the commander with the highest prestige.
As soon as the minotaurs wavered, problems began to arise on the front.
Seeing that the army was about to be defeated, Larmin, the leader of the wolf cavalry squadron, stepped forward.
After consulting with the leader of the Serpentine squadron, Dakota Lesi, he decided to join the final reserves.
Larmin led his cavalry to attack the flank of the combined forces of Richard and Sophia, and Dakotalesi led the Serpentine heavy infantry to attack the front of the human army.
The two armies are oddly in tune with each other, throwing in the last of their strength to turn things around.
The wolf cavalry charged extremely fast, and in just a minute or two, they rushed to the front of the coalition army.
Richard hurriedly sent a squadron to turn and direct the soldiers to fire crossbow arrows.
Dozens of archers fired only two rounds of arrows, knocking down seven or eight wolf cavalrymen. Larmin had already led the team and rushed into the line of the second squadron of Grant Territory.
The wolf cavalry surged up like a tide, and Richard held a shield in one hand and a heavy sword in the other, slashed at the wolf cavalry, easily cutting a cavalry into two pieces.
If the average army is broken through the array by the cavalry, I am afraid that it will be scattered on the spot.
The second squadron of the Haaland Territory is quite elite, not only is it well equipped, but the quality of the soldiers is also good, and it has been training for two whole years.
Moreover, Richard has a high prestige among the soldiers, he takes the lead and personally leads the team to fight, which is a very big bonus to morale.
Coupled with the brutality of the orcs, it is a race war, and even surrender will not end well.
They have seen humans captured by the orcs at any time become food for the orcs, and are treated like cattle and sheep.
The soldiers of the second squadron of the Haaland Territory have defeated the orcs several times, and as a victorious army, they already have a sense of honor as a soldier.
This sense of honor also requires them to continue to fight and not to break up.
Moreover, Richard developed a pension system, which exempted soldiers from worries and allowed them to fight to the death.
, Vincent and other officers fought to the death with their soldiers, even if the formation was chaotic, they still adopted a desperate fight.
Richard saw with his own eyes that a soldier's arm was cut off, and he actually stabbed the horse in the belly with a broken spear in his other hand, and the horse fell to the ground with a scream, crushing a wolf-headed man under the horse's belly.
The wolf cavalry struggled to get to their feet, but was fiercely impaled by several spears.
Richard was furious in his heart, and once again fired a powerful fireball spell at the wolf cavalry commander Larmin. This time, Richard invested 6 points of mental power, and his mental power was exhausted.
Although the second fireball is far less powerful than the first, it is still much more powerful than the standard model fireball.
The fireball exploded in Larmin's chest, instantly knocking Larmin over.
The war horse was killed by the fireball on the spot, and Larmin also suffered serious internal injuries and vomited blood on the spot.
Vincent, though young, was quite brave, and he charged with his spear and stabbed the horse in the belly.
Like a string of sugar gourds, he pierced Larmin with his men and horses.
Larmin let out a terrible cry, and his head was cut off by Vincent.
"Pull it off first!"
Dhulam let out a roar and commanded the already chaotic wolf cavalry to retreat.
He is the deputy squadron leader of the wolf cavalry squadron, and his abilities are very average.
The last time he met Richard's squadron, he led the junior officers to shout loudly. But when it came to hard fighting, he was far less brave than Squadron Leader Larmin.
Lalmin was killed in battle, and the wolf cavalry squadron suffered more than half of the casualties.
Seeing that the second squadron was still fighting to the death, Richard fought hard and led the charge with a heavy sword in his hand.
Fear suddenly took over Dulam's mind, and he gave the wrong military order.
The test of war is endurance, and an army that can withstand casualties and endure hard battles is an excellent and strong army.
Whoever can hold on to the last minute will be able to win the last.
If the orcs don't retreat, maybe the second squadron will be defeated, and the outcome of this battle will be changed.
Richard's mental power is equivalent to that of a five-ring magician, and he has used three powerful spells, and his mental power has been depleted.
But these three powerful spells are very important after use.
The powerful greasy spell delayed the orc charge, bought the archers a few rounds of firing time, and added two hundred casualties to the orcs.
Two powerful fireballs, killing two of the most important commanders of the orcs.
The wolf cavalry squadron retreated, and the minotaurs and boar men fell into a bitter battle.
Just when the defeat of the orcs was decided, worse news came, Baron Les with Baron Dark, Baron Bazel appeared nearby, their strength was as many as five squadrons, plus more than a thousand auxiliaries.
Baron Rice was also a qualified commander, and he did not hesitate and immediately led a coalition of nobles to attack the orcs from the rear.
Originally, the battle with the Richard Sophia coalition was already very difficult for the orcs.
The battle was fierce, and the orcs had already suffered more than four hundred casualties.
If it weren't for the Serpent Heavy Infantry having broken through the Sophia's squadron's defenses and turned some of the situation around, the Orcs would have been defeated.
Seeing that Baron Rice led his troops to kill from the rear, he was powerless to stop the broken boar men and minotaurs.
In desperation, the orcs could only let the snake-body heavy infantry take on the heavy responsibility and turn around to block reinforcements.
Originally, the snake man broke through the blockade of Sophia's squadron and was about to tear through the seventh squadron line. Now he can only fall short, with a squadron of minotaurs, join forces with the remnants of the wolf cavalry to block Baron Rice.
The soldiers under the command of Baron Rice's coalition army are not weak, although they are not as good as the elves of the Haaland territory, and they are stronger than the city defense army and the Sophia squadron.
Although the Serpentine Heavy Infantry was powerful, it was surrounded by ten times the enemy, and soon there was a lot of attrition.
The Serpents lost four killed and two wounded during the assault on Vic's Castle, and one more killed and one wounded during the assault on the Castle of Malte, the Barony of the Dirham.
Just broke through the Sophia squadron, the casualties were the heaviest, seven killed and six seriously wounded.
The casualties of the Serpent Heavy Infantry have also exceeded half.
As casualties mount, the situation for the orcs becomes more and more dangerous.
Baron Rice's coalition army, and all three hereditary baronies have been plagued by orcs.
More than 10,000 people have died and gone missing.
The soldiers of the territory have become like the sea of enemies with the orcs, and now when they have the opportunity to beat the water dogs, the soldiers all fight bravely.
Even if they gnaw bones and fight against the snake-body heavy infantry, the aristocratic coalition still does not retreat.
They marched with determination, bearing casualties, drowning the orcs in the sea of people.
In this battle, the Shamok brigade was almost completely wiped out, except for half of the wild boar squadron to guard the prisoners and baggage, the remaining troops were completely wiped out by the coalition forces of the nobles of Heihe County.
