Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
But now it was too late, tall and mighty, wearing a golden shawl hanging over their shoulders, the lion-nosed and broad-mouthed Rhines appeared in the east of the battlefield, about a thousand, each with a huge mace and a round shield in his hand, and also wearing a half-body armor made by Terran craftsmen.
The equipment on these Rhine can only be said to be above the standard of regular soldiers of the Terrans, and they must not be compared with the elite of the White Feather Legion, but for the Rhine, they themselves have physical strength and superior combat power that are higher than those of human warriors.
The Rhines roared and rushed into the front line of Mordor, smashing the enemy in front of them like a hammer.
The Wolf cavalry on the other side first plunged into the rear of the White Feather Legion like sharp knives, and then cooperated with their wolves, waving the long knives in their hands to separate and slaughter the messy Terran soldiers.
The equipment of this brigade of Wolf's cavalry was much more shabby than that of the Rhine, although they were already the same elite of the tribe as the Wolf led by England, but they only had weapons that could be called excellent, mostly long knives, and a few maces.
But that's all, their equipment is incomplete, and a slightly better one will have an extra pair of beast skin boots or double leather armor in addition to their weapons, but they are by no means as fully armed as the Rhine, reaching the standard configuration.
However, for the White Feathers, perhaps Wolf is more reluctant to face them.
Because the number of Wolf raided by this brigade was far more than that of Rhine, and the number was more than twice that of Rhine, their combat effectiveness could only be steadily suppressed by the White Feather elite, and ordinary soldiers were not Wolf's opponents at all.
What's more important is that Wolf is more ruthless than Rhein, and at the same time has a higher level of discipline.
They will use the squads as a force to separate and surround the Modo army, which is now in a disorganized command disorder, and has been disorganized by glacial traps and rain of flames, and then slash with a sword.
And they are not like Rhine, Rhine is just to defeat the enemy who dares to block in front of them, if the enemy is timid and takes the initiative to dodge, according to Rhine's habits, he generally disdains to deliberately chase and kill, but Wolf is different, they will urge the wolf to chase after them as much as possible and kill the enemy.
If the White Feather Legion is not in a semi-chaotic state now, as long as half of the White Feather Elite is still on guard in the rear, they can attack at any time, and the Modos will not be afraid at all.
Or, if there was only Rhine or Wolf on the battlefield, the White Feather Legion would not be so wolfish.
But all the conditions are unfavorable, Victor after repelling Franklin, wanted to take advantage of the pursuit of the opportunity to enter the city in one fell swoop, not only rushed to the front of the battlefield himself, lost the command of the overall situation, and a large number of white feather elites also followed him to storm the city gate and attack the city, the ordinary soldiers in the rear are not the opponents of Rhine and Wolf at all in terms of individual combat strength, although the number is several times that of the orcs, but for a time did not organize an effective defensive counterattack.
Two orc forces appeared at the same time, and each had a strong leader, especially the Rhine, who was led by Sidipas.
At this time, Victor was in a difficult choice, he could choose to immediately abandon the attack on the city gate and retreat to deal with the two armies of the orcs, or he could choose to believe that the adjutant Paul could command a period in his place, at the cost of a large number of casualties in the rear army, regardless of the rear army, but with the elite in his hands, forcibly break through the free city, and then gather the troops into the free city, and then turn against the orcs.
The latter is undoubtedly quite risky, because now no one knows how many orcs are coming, and whether there will be an orc army to arrive, how long Paul can support it is unknown, once the city gate can not be broken through, and the rear army has a large number of casualties, the White Feather Legion is not only faced with a siege failure, but a rare defeat in the army's battle, and there are heavy casualties, and even under the threat of an unknown number of orcs, it is not impossible to be destroyed.
Victor made a difficult decision, swinging his greatsword vigorously and splitting in half the hoplites who wanted to destroy a free city.
But a long sword was handed out, and most of his attack was blocked in time, so that the heavy lancer not only escaped, but also used the spear to add a small hole in his already battered armor.
The huge and sturdy armor on Victor's body at this time had already cracked, and it was full of holes, and blood and water were coming out from time to time.
When he is physically strong, even if his armor is destroyed, with his fighting spirit and his own strong body, it is difficult for a spear to stab him, unless it is a warrior with the same fighting spirit, then in the army of Liberty City, it should be at least at the level of a squad leader.
But when the battle has been going on until now, and the process has been so fierce, especially after fighting with Franklin on the battlefield, on the drawbridge, and now at the city gates, his fighting spirit has also declined significantly, and it is impossible to protect his body at all times as he did at the beginning, only enough to consume when he wields the greatsword.
His biggest opponent, Franklin, the lord of Liberty City, was not much better than him, and the blue armor was also scarred and bloodstained, and the original iron covering was long gone, revealing bloodshot eyes.
However, he still led the warriors to the city gate, and it was precisely because of his existence that most of Victor's offensive in the next year made a considerable number of Free City warriors wounded but not killed, otherwise the city gate would have been breached long ago, allowing people to rush into the city.
Victor swung his sword frantically, and for a moment even Franklin had to retreat temporarily.
Victor gasped, he looked rough, but in fact, he had been leading the army for many years, and he couldn't grasp the whole battle situation, but he could still calculate the strength and weakness here at the city gate in an instant.
Although there is Franklin's desperate resistance, it should still be the White Feather Legion that has a slight upper hand, and there is a great possibility to attack the city, after all, more than half of the elite of the White Feather Legion are rushing over with Victor, and there is always an advantage in numbers.
However, at this time, one of Franklin's actions made Victor miscalculate again.
Franklin took the two scrolls from his bosom as he retreated, and then released the scrolls.
A faint white glow poured out, enveloping part of the army at the gates of the Free City.
The orcs finally appeared, and Franklin was relieved.
In the previous battle, the city defense was in danger, according to the original agreement, as long as the free city released the magic of the fire rain, it was a signal to ask the orcs to intervene in the war, but the first fire rain, the orcs did not appear as promised, forcing Franklin to lead the army out of the city, and was pursued by Victor.
In the second Rain of Fire, if the orcs do not appear again, it means that the Free City has been betrayed by the orcs.
Fortunately, it was not born.
The soldiers shrouded in white mangs seemed to be bathed in rain, and the wounds on their bodies were quickly stopping bleeding, shrinking and healing, and their physical strength was slowly recovering.
One was the Intermediate Healing Scroll that Wang Qinian had used, and the other was the Vitality Scroll.
The former can be used on its own as an intermediate healing technique, but since Franklin is now using it on too many people, he can only barely use it as a range of minor injuries, and the vitality scroll can continue to restore one's physical strength for a certain period of time.
Together, these two things are no less than a booster for the Franklin side, which has already begun to retreat and is about to lose its support, and some of the fighters who were wounded but not killed before will be restored.
But it wasn't good news for Victor, which caused Liberty City to stop retreating and pounce again in front of him.
The white mangs lit up more than once, and in addition to Franklin, there were several captains who also released the scrolls, but they usually only had one scroll in their hands, and it wasn't necessarily an intermediate healing scroll, but only a vitality scroll, but it was enough to give the Liberty City Guards at the gate a chance to heal most of them.
Watching the enemy in front of him, who was still scarred just now, continue to recover under the power of the scroll, Victor sighed in his heart, knowing that it was impossible to break through the city gate in one go.
There are relatively few magicians who have mastered healing, and the scrolls of healing are expensive, but the use of Liberty City just now shows that they have been preparing for such a war for a long time, and at any cost. Their side underestimated Franklin and his people, thinking that they had been preparing for war as soon as they sent messengers, and they were already the fastest to start, but they forgot that if the Free City had been preparing from the current Mithril Mine, they could have prepared earlier and more fully.
"Retreat!"
The soldiers of the White Feather Legion under the city began to withdraw, but Franklin did not pursue, nor was he powerless to pursue, but quickly closed the city gates.
Isocrates' lightning cloud had been completed again, and the electric serpent danced wildly on the tower, driving the orc axe throwing team off the city, but to no avail, because the orcs had already finished throwing the axe, and severely damaged the wave of warriors who wanted to climb the tower.
Although the Wind Spirit White Feather Armor was stronger than the average Elite Grade armor, the orcs threw throwing axes with all their might, and they could still tear through the armor and severely damage them.
When Victor decided to retreat, the attack on the castle head failed.
At about the same time, at the rear of the battlefield, the raiding forces of Rhine and Wolf also encountered hard bones, and under the leadership of Adjutant Paul, a group of veterans gathered to resist the attack of the orcs head-on.
After all, the number of orcs is far less than that of the White Feather Legion, and once Paul stabilizes the form, the army in chaos will regroup with him as the core, and when the time comes, not only can they resist, but even the orcs may be severely damaged.
At this time, Rhine and Wolf unexpectedly appeared a rare and exquisite cooperation, Wolf was responsible for cleaning the perimeter, divided into several teams, and constantly repelled the stragglers who tried to get closer to Paul, so that the troops that Paul could directly command were increased, while Sidipater led his Rhine people to attack the team that Paul was now commanding, and strive to eliminate them in the shortest possible time.
When Victor led his troops back, it was just as time for Paul to fall.
Paul's head was smashed under Sidipat's mace, and if he wasn't injured, he would have been able to support it for a while, but the projection guide he had killed the Saloman snake before was injured, and Sidipat's strength was already above him.
Victor roared and rushed over, but Sidipat, who had always valued honor, chose to retreat without hesitation.
He's not stupid, and even if Victor isn't at his peak right now, he's not willing to confront it head-on.
Rhine and Wolf both chose to break through to both sides of the battlefield, and Victor hated Sidipat, who killed Paul, but the pursuit along the way only killed more than 200 Rhine orcs, and finally allowed Sidipatr to flee into the nearby mountains.
Victor can only give up the pursuit, he can't be too far away from the battlefield, just now because he was too anxious, he wanted to attack the city in one fell swoop, so he gave up the overall command of the battlefield, and he would be taken advantage of by the orcs to raid, and now if he continues to pursue Rhine, he doesn't know if he can succeed, but without himself, even Paul is dead, if the orcs still have reinforcements, or Franklin kills again, the casualties of the White Feather Legion will be greater.
Victor returned to the main battlefield and gathered the remnants of the White Feather Legion.
The elite with the white feather armor of the wind spirit has lost more than 4,000 people, more than 2,000 people have been wounded, and only about 4,000 people are still able to fight, and only half of the ordinary legionnaires can fight again.
"Count Schedermon, you have witnessed this battle from beginning to end, and I hope that when I return, you will help me explain it to Lord Weah, and now I have decided to stop the siege. Victor said bitterly.
Xue Demeng opened his mouth, although he was unwilling, but in the end he still did not say his request for Victor to continue the siege.
The situation in front of him is already clear, Victor's troops have suffered heavy casualties, but the side of Liberty City is certainly not light, if the siege continues, Modo may be able to win a crushing victory.
But this is most likely to be a cheap orc, and the collusion between Franklin and the orcs in Free City may be deeper than anyone thinks.
Although the number of orc troops that raided just now was not too large, no one knew if there would be any orc troops that would continue to appear.
If the White Feather Legion then forced a breach of the defenses with even more casualties, but the orcs picked up the bargain behind, raided and took over the city, then Victor would be a big fool.
However, of course, it was difficult to explain such a result to Weah, who was waiting for good news, so Victor asked Count Schedmont to help explain it.
Of course, Victor didn't know that although the two major orc tribes participated in this war, only Sidipater and more than 1,500 Rhine warriors directly under him were allowed to participate in the war, and Wolf only had the wolf rider led by Winston, and did not support it unreservedly.
Although he had already decided to retreat, Victor instead ordered his soldiers to prepare for a continuous attack in order to confuse the enemy.
This is necessary, otherwise if the enemy sees through his true intentions, he may become even more disadvantaged.
This gesture took a long time, and when the preparations for the retreat were almost completed, and just when Victor gave the order, a banner of an army appeared in the distance, although the number was not very large, but it was obvious that it was all cavalry.
Victor looked at the flag with a complicated expression, it was the coat of arms of the Asturian royal family, and the Asturians had arrived.
There was nothing more to do in this war, and Victor gave the order to withdraw his troops with reluctance.
