The two armies collided fiercely, and in an instant, flesh and blood flew everywhere.

At this moment, the troops of Soros and Sophia in the swamp basin also detected the enemy's situation, and the soldiers stopped cleaning the battlefield and began to assemble.

Soros and Sophia were only a few kilometers away from the battlefield, and the Warcraft cavalry was the fastest, and they arrived at the battlefield in less than a stick of incense.

Seeing the appearance of the Warcraft cavalry brigade, Pratt had to transfer troops, and the orc brigade behind the palace turned to protect the flanks of the army formation and prevent the Warcraft cavalry from making trouble.

Richard led the soldiers of Haaland's realm to fight with the orc army.

He observed the formation, invested sixteen points of spiritual power, and unleashed a powerful fire wall technique. Investing sixteen points of spiritual power, the powerful fire wall technique released by Richard is more powerful than the standard nine-ring magic.

A wall of fire slammed into the orc array, a howling wind, enveloping the flames and igniting everything they could touch.

Raging flames raged among the orc armies.

The burn was the most severe pain, the pain was more than a thousand cuts, and the orc, despite its rough skin and thick flesh, was ignited by the fire and became a burning man, and a terrible scream was heard immediately, and the wounded orc fell to the ground, rolling over and over in the hope of extinguishing the flames.

In an instant, there was a serious confusion in the ranks of the orc soldiers.

A powerful four-ring magic wall of fire immediately disrupted the array of orcs in a squadron, and the soldiers of the first squadron rushed bravely, and the orc squadron suddenly collapsed.

The first squadron fought very bravely, and fiercely broke into the depths of the orc array, and the grenadiers were in the back row, and immediately threw alchemy bombs at the orcs.

Dozens of alchemy bombs were thrown, and the orc rear squadron suffered heavy casualties.

The soldiers of the first squadron urged their fighting spirit, activated the brute force armor and launched the brute force technique, and the strength of dozens of soldiers suddenly increased by four points.

The surging soldier wielded an enchanted sword and slashed through the second squadron of the orcs. Then he broke through the orc army formation in one fell swoop.

In less than ten minutes, the first squadron successively defeated three orc squadrons and penetrated the orc formation.

Platt's Chinese army only arranged two brigades, and seeing that the two brigades could not withstand the elite of Haaland's territory, Pratt hurriedly transferred troops and continued to send a brigade of orcs to strengthen the defensive line.

Although there are seven or eight thousand orc auxiliaries, these auxiliaries are all sheep-like troops, and their combat effectiveness is extremely weak, and they are not suitable for cruel field battles.

As soon as the casualties were a little heavier, the sheep men began to scatter in all directions. Slightly out of the supervision of the main force, he fled to the mountains and forests. The only effect that can be played by fighting with sheep figures is to consume the energy, arrows, and stone bullets of the defenders.

If it is a long-term siege battle, the use of auxiliary sieges can also have some effect, depleting the enemy's strength.

However, Pratt's department is now fighting in the field, and the use of sheep-like people can only make his army more chaotic, and the only thing he can rely on now is the main team of seven orcs.

Through the reconnaissance of the Harpy, Pratt knew in his heart that there were reinforcements from humans on both the east and west. When reinforcements from the east and west arrive tomorrow, it will become a decisive battle for the main force.

The orcs lost three brigades, and with seven brigades, they fought a decisive battle with the main force of Harland's territory and the nobles of Heihe County, and Pratt had no chance of winning at all.

The soldiers of Haaland's territory are well-equipped and of excellent quality, coupled with a large number of alchemy bombs, and the combat effectiveness of the same force is stronger than that of the northern legions.

The combat effectiveness of 7,000 soldiers in the Harland Territory is more than half of the Northern Legion.

Pratt divided his troops to attack the swamp basin, and the enemy situation was not detected and understood, which was a risk from a military point of view.

After the failure of the military adventure, the deputy commander Raquel was captured alive by Haaland's territory. In order to save the political future, he once again launched an operation with the army when the conditions were not ripe.

This battle also violated the taboo of the soldiers, and rashly launched the main decisive battle when the conditions were not ripe.

On the northern front, there were enemy reinforcements again, although this group of enemies was small in number, with only two guard squadrons and one auxiliary squadron, close to a thousand, but the enemy was equipped with alchemy bombs, which still could not be underestimated.

As a last resort, Pratt could only continue to draw a brigade of soldiers to defend the north.

The battle continued to this day, and the orcs were left with only one brigade in reserve. In order to crush the enemy from the north, Pratt personally went to the front line.

"Boom!"

The alchemy bomb continued to explode, and the fiery red light was like a blooming flower, and the rubble on the ground was splashed out by the air wave for more than ten meters, sweeping down a large area of the nearby orcs. Under the leadership of the grassroots officers and backbone veterans, the soldiers of Haaland's territory immediately swarmed up and slaughtered the wounded orcs.

Pratt personally led his troops into battle several times, broke through the defensive line, and was immediately hit by the mage group.

With the blessing of the Thunderbolt Staff, the power of the chain of lightning is quite extraordinary, and a chain of lightning struck down, and more than a dozen of Pratt's own soldiers were blown out, and the stumps mixed with rubble were sprinkled from the sky.

These orc legion commanders are all low-level professionals, reserve officers. There were heavy casualties in an instant, which made Pratt's heart bleed.

The battle lasted for an afternoon, the orcs on the northern front lost 700 soldiers, Wendy and Sophia released seven serial lightning bolts together, and seeing that the orc soldiers could no longer fight, Pratt chose to stop the army and truce.

At the same time, Soros and Richard led their troops to end the battle with the orcs.

In this battle, the orcs suffered small losses in two battlefields, and the total loss of troops was 2,000.

And the soldiers on the northern front commanded by Sophia only lost 200 soldiers, the main force of the Harland territory commanded by Richard only killed and wounded 400 soldiers, and Soros led the Warcraft cavalry, which was only a diversion battle in the morning, and only killed and injured a dozen soldiers.

On the second day, the soldiers of Flower City and Graveson rushed to reinforcements, although they were far away.

The 5th and 6th Battalions almost poured out of the nest, and also brought two squadron auxiliaries, and the number of reinforcements exceeded nearly three thousand.

When these 3,000 living forces arrived on the battlefield, it was like the last weight on the scales, which immediately changed the situation on the battlefield, and the situation of the orcs immediately became worse.

The fifth and sixth brigades were unified under the command of Roland, and after Roland led his troops to reinforce him, he immediately built a camp one kilometer away from the orc camp and blocked the east of the orc camp.

Richard took the main force of Haaland's territory and built the camp south of the orc camp. Soros also led the Warcraft Cavalry Brigade to build a temporary camp in the north of the Orc camp. Together with Sophia's headquarters, the orc camp was suddenly surrounded by soldiers from Haaland's territory.

No matter which direction you break through, you will have to face a big battle.

The strategic situation has developed to the point where the orcs have become very dangerous.

Tomorrow, the alliance of nobles of Heihe County will be reinforced, and the human advantage will become greater.

At that time, the encirclement will be stronger, and the 59th Army under Pratt may be surrounded and annihilated.

Despite two failed decisions, Pratt was still a decisive commander, and after two battles, Pratt knew in his heart that the Orc Front had underestimated the strength of Haraland's territory.

Although there were only 7,000 regular troops in Haaland's territory, there were 3,000 auxiliaries, and the military strength of this territory was not weaker than that of a developed county.

An orc legion, the strength is not much different from the military strength of the Harland Lord. Relying on the plaitt corps, it will be difficult to break through the defense line of Haaland's territory after the enemy has a geographical advantage.

This war orc front has put a burden on the Pratt Legion beyond its burden, making it difficult for the Pratt Legion to bear.

After analyzing the situation, that night, Pratt immediately gave the order to break out, and the direction of the breakthrough was also chosen to the east.

As soon as the orc army moved, it was immediately detected by the scouts of the Harland territory.

Richard immediately ordered the whole army to attack from all directions, putting pressure on the orc breakout force to encircle and annihilate the orcs.

Breakout battles require strong organizational skills, which are precisely the weaknesses of the orc army. After all, many races converge in one legion, and the language is not easy to communicate, and the organizational skills cannot be improved at all.

Without good organizational skills, there are many problems in the process of breaking through.

In particular, the more than 8,000 sheep-like auxiliaries were scattered almost halfway through.

The rout even disrupted the orc formation, and some of the backward orc armies were caught up by the pursuers, and they couldn't resist for too long in the night.

Pratt gathered all the elite soldiers, and more than two hundred snake pros, plus Pratt's guards, formed a powerful attack arrow.

Although Roland and Jennings had camps, dug trenches, arranged antlers, and had a simple defensive line, they still could not be stopped.

The two infantry squadrons blocking the front were routed, and a large group of orcs broke out of the encirclement.

Because it was night, Roland and Jennings didn't know how many orcs broke through?

The clamor of the battle resounded throughout the battlefield, and there were lit bonfires everywhere, and the orcs did not dare to take the road leading to the fort, choosing to burrow into the hills around the swamp basin.

Richard chased his soldiers in the dark for half the night, and found that the fighting gradually stopped. Seeing that the sky was about to dawn, he ordered the battlefield to be cleaned, and the battlefield was cleaned early the next morning.

In this battle, the 5th and 6th brigades suffered heavy casualties, the two squadrons were almost completely annihilated by the orcs, and only a dozen wounded survived in total, plus the casualties of other troops, more than 400 soldiers were killed, and more than 300 were seriously wounded.

On the frontal battlefield, the two squadrons that blocked the orcs fought very bravely, and almost did not break up in the end.

Richard personally looked at the battle line and found that there were more than thirty snakes killed and wounded in the front of the two squadrons, and more than a dozen orc professional officers were also killed. Ordinary orc soldiers, leaving behind more than a hundred corpses.

Richard knew in his heart that the reason why these two squadrons were so capable of fighting was because of the race war.

The soldiers and civilians in the northern Xinjiang have a deep enmity with the orcs, and as long as they are well organized, they can often fight to the point of a single soldier. Even if there are many weak brigades, sometimes this can be done. Many of the city guards guarding the castle can do this.

The second is because the death compensation policy in Haaland's territory has been implemented for more than ten years, which has reduced the worries of soldiers and made soldiers willing to sacrifice their lives and fight desperately for the territory.

The third is because the grassroots officers are effective, and under the leadership of their organization, they fought with the orcs to the end, until the orcs broke through the line.

The fourth is that the army in Haaland's territory is very disciplined, and if you escape from the battle, not only will you be killed, but your family will also be reduced to slavery, and you will not be pardoned for the rest of your life. Under the command of an officer, the soldier can basically fulfill his responsibilities and will not break down easily.

Looking at such a tragic scene, even if Richard has led the troops for many years, the iron heart that has been tempered has long been tempered, and he still feels a little sad and sad in his heart. With red eyes, he said to the staff officers beside him: "After last night's battle, the two brigades of Roland and Jennings suffered many casualties. Although they didn't block the mouth and let the orcs run out of a big lump, it was still the key to last night's victory, and the first credit should be given to them. After the war, excellent soldiers were dispatched to fill the 23rd and 27th squadrons as soon as possible.

This year, after killing a lot of snakes and making enchanted armor, priority will be given to replenishing the 23rd and 27th squadrons. ”

Except for the troops that blocked the orcs head-on, the casualties of the other troops were relatively small, adding up to about 300 people.

In last night's pursuit, the casualties in Haaland's territory were about 1,000.

Counting the previous battles, the soldiers of Haaland's territory have lost nearly 700 casualties, and more than 1,400 are lightly and seriously wounded. The total casualties have already exceeded two thousand.

Although the casualties were not small, the results were also very brilliant.

Last night, there were more than 4,000 orc captives, more than 3,400 sheep-like captives, and about 800 other orc captives.

Orc professionals sent to Nolan for bloodline experiments, which can be exchanged for more merits.

Ordinary sheep people can graze, and the need for life support is relatively low, so it is easy to integrate into Haaland's territory. Last year, Harland discovered copper ore, and orcs that were not needed by the Grant Mage Guild could be used for mining and saving human resources.

More than 4,000 captives were captured, and more than 5,000 orc heads were killed.

The orc army that followed Pratt to break through was only about four thousand. The remaining four or five thousand orcs should have scattered and fled into the surrounding mountains and forests. It is estimated that less than half of them can be contained.

By the time the allied forces of the nobles of Heihe County arrived, the battle was over.

The battlefield has also been cleared, and the captured weapons are piling up.

The heads of the orcs were loaded in dozens of carts, and the captives lined up in a long queue.

Although they could no longer smell the smoke of the battlefield, Baron Sharp and other nobles could feel the fierceness of the battle.

In just a few years, Haaland's territory has become so powerful, and this status quo makes Sharp, Rice and others feel unbelievable.

Twelve years ago, Richard was a junior officer under Sharp. The status is far from being comparable to Sharpe, and his father William can be compared with Sharpe.

Nine years ago, Richard and Baron Rice united to fight against the orcs, and at that time there was not much difference in strength between the two territories.

In just ten years, the situation in the province of Geda has changed, Richard has developed a powerful territory, and the soldiers of the Harland family have defeated an army of orcs?

Seeing this scene, many nobles were silent.

This is the fear of power, and they know in their hearts that after this battle, there will be a new great nobleman in the Grant Kingdom, and there will be a new power in the northern region.
