Seventy-seven, the flames of war (5)
There is a full 100,000 kilometers from Kasoda Fortress to Gebiye Fortress, such a long distance, if you want to rescue, it is not a day or two to arrive, even if Diley's cavalry corps keeps running, I am afraid that it will take about ten days to arrive, of course, if Xuantian really wants to completely annihilate the army of the Bright Army, it will take the same amount of time to be able to reach the battlefield, this war still depends on whether Nicholas's reinforcements arrive quickly or Xuantian's rescuers arrive quickly.
On June 20th, the artillery battle continued, the shells on both sides were almost gone, and all the shells in the fortress of the Bright Army were moved over, which almost wiped out the magic cannons of the orcs, and the Bright Army was not having a good time, losing more than 9,000 magic cannons, after eliminating the magic cannons of the orcs, all the magic cannons were already dumb fire, and there were still tens of thousands of shells, but in such a big war, tens of thousands of shells were really useless. And the three days and two nights of continuous fighting also made the artillerymen and magicians of the Bright Army tired to death.
Lost so many magic cannons and artillery, Somas was so heartbroken that he trembled, these are all money, now, the first war was almost disabled, who doesn't have heartache? Yinyue is also very heartbroken, her heartache is not the magic cannon, but those artillery that was trained with great difficulty, the magic cannon is a very expensive thing for other people, but, for her, the price is not expensive at all, it's just that qualified artillery is not easy to train, so her face is also very ugly, gritted her teeth and said: " Somas, you bastard, you're going to have to pay it back someday. ”
The Bright Army was already very tired, however, the orc army did not have magic cannons, and the official war began, a large number of infantry began to attack, a large number of magicians blessed the infantry with all kinds of magic, and the infantry were shining with white light and marched towards the wall, they held ladders in their hands, and the air force also flew up, ready to fight at any time.
The infantry approached five hundred meters, the orc centaur unit began to shoot arrows, the centaurs are known as the killers of the cavalry, and even if it is a fixed archery, the accuracy is not bad at all, in addition to the centaurs, the orcs also have a large number of wolf cavalry, these wolf cavalry are no longer those who can only kill with knives, after hard training, wolf cavalry can also become archers, although their strength is not very large, meso, standing on the thirty-meter-high city wall to shoot arrows, the same is amazing. There are also bears and lions, these two races are famous for their strength, but now they are called slingers, there are no stones in the desert, it doesn't matter, there is sand, put the sand into a bag, then it will become a stone, the power is definitely not less than the stone, these sandbags are thrown down, the strength of the infantry of the Light Army is smashed and it will be finished.
The armies of the two sides started a big battle, I have to say, the bright army is in big trouble this time, this is equivalent to a siege war, and the orc army is equal to a defensive battle, although there is a gap in military strength between the two sides, but the turn of attack and defense has made this advantage in strength come to naught, and it is not so easy to attack the city without several times more troops. The Bright Army rushed up in batches, died under the bow and arrow, died under the sandbags, climbed under the city wall and died under the knife of the wolf cavalry, in short, the casualties were extremely great, the front-line commander of the Bright Army could only transfer the troops up in batches, and must break through the wall of the orc army, and only by opening a gap could they rush in to destroy the orc army.
Although the orcs are not good at defending the city, Yinyue is proficient in all kinds of things, and orders are issued from her mouth, using the force to the maximum, while batches of wounded and corpses are carried back to the rear, groups of soldiers are transferred to the city wall, and the orcs are also killed and wounded greatly.
The faces of the various army commanders of the orcs are very gloomy, this kind of siege war has caused great losses to their troops, on the ninety kilometer battle line, the two armies are fighting in the battle of life and death, hundreds of people are injured or killed every second, this is the cruelty of war, although the commanders of these orcs are very uncomfortable to see their soldiers die tragically, but they also know that the battle is like this, no matter how big the casualties have to endure.
This siege battle lasted for a day and a night, and the casualties on both sides were already more than 10 million, Yinyue was already very tired, and the non-stop command made her spirit a little trance, and it has been five days since the battle began, but the real battle has not yet begun? Yinyue sighed lightly and said: "Uncle Huwei, you command for a while instead of me, and I will rest first." "It's good, Yinyue, don't get tired, otherwise, that kid from Xuantian will beat my head swollen." "Tiger Wei Minos * Tiger is the eldest brother of Tiger Emperor Midas * Tiger, and he can be regarded as Xuantian's uncle, of course he cherishes Yinyue, his nephew and daughter-in-law.
The battle continued, countless soldiers died on the battlefield, the blood has stained the desert under their feet, the blood flowed to the ground, and was sucked dry by the sand, but the sand turned black, although the blood can disappear, but it exudes a pungent smell of blood, so that those soldiers with poor psychological quality are all pale one by one, the battle is too bad, the corpses of both sides are piled up under the city.
On June 24th, after the Bright Army sent troops to clean up the corpses on the battlefield, the battle began again, this was already the sixth day of the battle, the casualties of the orc army had reached 40 million, and the casualties of the Bright Army had reached 60 million, the ratio of casualties was one to 1.5, the orc empire had a little upper hand, however, with the strength of the orcs, it was really speechless to have the upper hand at this point, and the reason for this ratio was a large number of light magician troops of the Bright Army, these magicians did not have any advantage in attack, but they had a great advantage in treatment, A wide range of healing magic from these magicians made a large number of soldiers struggle from death, so although the casualties of the Bright Army reached 60 million, in fact, the number of people killed in the battle was only more than 18 million, while the orc army was more than 21 million dead, in contrast, it was the orc army that suffered.
On June 25th, it was already the seventh day of the battle, and both sides were already very tired, especially the Bright Army, which had not had a good rest in the past few days, and the soldiers' physical strength had almost reached the limit. Orcs are not having a good time, a large number of soldiers are injured and withdraw from the battlefield, although there are a large number of medicines, but these wounded soldiers are wounded soldiers, they have lost their combat effectiveness, now, more than 70 million orcs have withdrawn from the battlefield, the battle has become more and more cruel, casualties are constantly increasing, many times, both sides are in the wounds for injuries, fighting for their lives, on the battlefield, if you want to survive, you have to be more ruthless than the other party.
The entire orc camp has now been basically wiped out by the Bright Army, a large number of magic and forbidden spells have been bombarded down, but the wall built of reinforced concrete, in the absence of a magic defense array, can support it is already a miracle now, what about the human fortress that does not have a powerful magic defense array? Although Yinyue has prepared a large number of materials to repair, however, the repair is not as fast as the destruction, especially when the number of magicians is not as good as people, many times, a small forbidden spell will cause problems in a section of the city wall, it can be said that one day, the city wall will be completely destroyed.
On the night of June 26th, at three o'clock in the middle of the night, the battle situation changed for the first time. The main force of the three major legions of the Tiger Wolf Army and the Lion Wolf Army rushed out of the western walled gate and launched a counteroffensive against the Bright Army, the three major legions, with a total military strength of up to 100 million troops, rushed out like a flood, rushing to the front is the tiger man in the Tiger Wolf Army, these tiger heavy cavalry brandished a four-meter-long broadsword and rushed towards the enemy, becoming the vanguard of the whole army, followed by the wolf cavalry, the charge of these light cavalry was as unstoppable as a monstrous flood.
Hearing the news of the orc army attacking the position, Somas's face changed and said: "I can't imagine that they still have the courage to rush out, yes, then let's give them a happy death, order, the Eighth Cavalry Corps to the west to support, be sure to annihilate the enemy army." "The Eighth Cavalry Regiment of the Bright Army is the only unit that has not been engaged in battle, and their strength is still quite well preserved, while the orc troops are mostly cavalry, and to defeat the orc cavalry, you need cavalry.
The Bright Army has also established simple fortifications, but the fortifications at this point are not as good as none in the eyes of the orcs, it is too simple, and the Ninth Legion of the Bright Army to defend the west can only be a dense infantry phalanx to meet the cavalry charge of the three major armies of the orcs, although the Ninth Legion also has a large number of cavalry, but these cavalry are already beaten by the orcs to the north, and the cavalry of the human race still has a certain strength gap compared to the cavalry of the orcs, especially after being equipped with the weapons and armor of the dwarves.
The cavalry of the tiger man is holding a long knife up to four meters long, and a knife can often cut the heavy cavalry of the Bright Army into two sides, plus the strength of the three major legions of the beast god is also much higher than the strength of the ordinary legions of the Bright Army, so the forward of the three legions is like entering a no-man's land, frantically slaughtering the soldiers of the Ninth Legion, and the wolf cavalry behind is rushing into the infantry phalanx of the Ninth Legion, first a burst of javelins, and then rushing to kill, the soldiers of the Ninth Legion are desperately resisting under the command of the commander, but unfortunately, the cavalry of the Orcs is too strong。
In just one hour, the Ninth Legion was almost about to collapse, the soldiers of the Ninth Legion had already suffered nearly a quarter of the casualties, and a large number of soldiers were all miserable, and they knew that if there were no reinforcements, they would definitely be wiped out in the face of the blows of the three orc legions. At this time, the dust rose from the south, and it was the Eighth Cavalry Regiment that came to support.
Tiger Guard Minos * Tiger Striker, seeing that the enemy's reinforcements had arrived, immediately ordered the troops to break away from the engagement with the Ninth Legion, and then sent a signal, and soon, the Wolf Guard Wolf Ba and the Lion Guard Tianli * Lion immediately commanded the elite troops under their command to move closer to the Tiger Guard Minos * Tiger, and the real decisive battle was finally about to begin.
When the three guards met, the wolf bully smiled and said: "Minos, what your nephew and daughter-in-law want, everything is in her calculations, as long as we destroy the Eighth Cavalry Legion, then we will win this battle." Minos Ha Da Lu smiled and said: "Of course, you don't look at whose family it is, can my family's silver moon be bad?" Okay, sons, follow me, kill all these bright miscellaneous, kill!." He pulled out the Blood Demon Tiger under him and took the lead in charging towards the Eighth Cavalry Legion.
