Seventy-eight, the flames of war (3)
When the battle comes to this point, either everyone is here in a group and waiting for death, or it is to leave an army behind the break, drag the enemy army, and give the army a chance to retreat, but the army that is left behind is bound to be wiped out, and there is no luck.
Somas said to Figut, the deputy commander of the legion beside him: "Figut, from now on, you take over the position of my deputy commander-in-chief, lead a force to rush out of the city, and the remaining Eighth Cavalry Legion will break off with me, now, we have to rush for time, if the orc army surrounds it, then our army will be all finished." Figut roared wildly and said, "No, Legion Commander, let me cut it off." "This is an order, and if there is disobedience, military law will be conducted. Somas gave a death order. Figut turned around to leave, but heard Somas say, "Figut, even if I go back alive, I will die, so you live in my place." I'm sorry I didn't listen to your advice, if I had listened to your advice, I wouldn't have such a big defeat today. ”
Figut shook his body and said, "Somas." "I didn't have anything to do, the battle was defeated, but I will use my life to gag the mouths of those people, and in the future, His Highness the Holy Son will rely on you to assist, Kegula's kid can't be trusted, although Nicholas has the ability, but he is not worthy of complete trust, you must remind His Highness the Holy Son." Okay, let's go. ”
The Bright Army began a difficult retreat, but this retreat came at the cost of countless lives, the wolf cavalry army of the orcs continued to harvest the lives of the soldiers of the Bright Army with their scimitars, and the soldiers who were left behind were chopped down one by one under the scimitars, and more than 300 million troops staged a war of iron and blood on this yellow sand land.
This tragic battle lasted until noon on June 29th, the beast god Sanwei led a large number of elites to surround Somas and the remaining more than 300 soldiers, Somas and a group of personal soldiers have a lot of injuries on their bodies, although they have been healed by magic, but their physical strength has been exhausted, and now, they have to wait for death.
The orc army made way to the left and right, and a stunning young woman rode into the formation on a super-god-level yellow golden tiger, and behind her there were hundreds of female soldiers whose strength was above the god level, Somas gasped and asked, "You are Silver Moon?" "Yes, I am Silver Moon, Somas, are you convinced to die this time?"
Somas's face sank and said, "This time it's your good luck, I fell for you, but you won't be better for long, His Royal Highness the Holy Son will definitely avenge us." "Your Highness, do you mean Ovat? Yes, he is a character, but if you expect him to help you avenge you, you will not be able to do it in another 10 million years, Somas, you are also a character, but your luck is not good, you meet me and Brother Tian, you are destined to stay here. ”
Somas held a big sword and shouted: "Silver Moon, don't talk nonsense, if you want to kill me, come and come." Yinyue smiled and said, "Since that's the case, then let's send you on the road, three grandfathers, you can send him on the road alive." Silvermoon didn't even think it was too much to look at Somas again, and left the front line.
With a wave of his hand, the army pressed up, and Somas and more than 300 of his own soldiers had fallen in just five minutes, and Somas's head flew up and fell into Minos's hands. Somas, one of the ten gods of the Temple of Light, was killed in battle, which was the first time that one of the ten gods of light in modern times had been killed in battle.
In the early morning of June 29th, the commander of the Second Cavalry Legion, Dilly St. Elos, led his Second Cavalry Legion to the Gebiye Fortress, and after nine days of running wildly, he had already seen the Gebiye Fortress from a distance, and there were still more than 500 kilometers away from the Gebiye Fortress, and the forward scout was still 300 kilometers away from the fortress, but Dilly received a report from the scout: "Report to the deputy commander, there is an army of the Orc Empire blocking the road ahead. "Who is it?" "Looking at the other party's military flag, it should be the Howling Tiger Army of the Orc Commander-in-Chief Hu Xuantian." ”
Dilly immediately led a group of officers forward, and saw from a distance that in the middle of a hill, an army was forming hundreds of columns, opening a wide front of more than 300 kilometers, and in the middle of the position, a large flag was waving in the wind, and a fierce tiger on the flag was roaring in the sky, which was the military flag of the Howling Tiger Army.
Seeing the banner of the Howling Tiger Army, Dilly's heart sank, it was obvious that Xuantian had rushed to Gebiye Fortress one step faster than them, and it was to intercept his own support troops, it was certain that the remaining forces of the other party must be to surround the army of Somas, it seems that Somas is already more than auspicious, if he can't defeat the Xuantian Howling Tiger Army as soon as possible, it is impossible to support Somas, but is the Xuantian Howling Tiger Army so easy to be defeated? Looking at his army again, thousands of miles have come, and his physical strength has been consumed a lot, and the Howling Tiger Army is doing it with ease, if you want to defeat the Howling Tiger Army, I am afraid that it will only take one to two days, one or two days, can Dili afford it now?
Observe the position of the Howling Tiger Army with a thousand miles of water mirror, only to see that from north to south, on the front of 300 kilometers, the Howling Tiger Army lined up more than 50 artillery arrays, each artillery array also has a hundred magic cannons, as well as a large number of giant crossbows, and these artillery arrays have already built relatively strong fortifications, if you want to attack head-on, I am afraid that you will have to pay a great price, but now there is still time for him to take a detour? Also, when I saw the tiger cavalry of the Howling Tiger Army, I couldn't see the end, and I didn't know how many people there were in the Howling Tiger Army.
The original establishment of the Howling Tiger Army was three million troops, even if Xuantian strengthened the military strength of the Howling Tiger Army, Dilly believes that it would be good for the Howling Tiger Army to have seven million people now, after all, even if it is expanded, it is impossible for the Howling Tiger Army to expand so much at once, plus Xuantian will also draw out a large number of troops to surround the Somasian army, so there should be between six million and eight million troops, if the position of the Howling Tiger Army is attacked head-on, with the 30 million military strength of the Second Cavalry Corps, it should be able to break through the defense of the Howling Tiger Army, but it is difficult to say in terms of time, there is no more than a day, Dilly didn't think he could break through Xuantian's defenses, but this day was going to kill him.
It's just that what if you want to die again? It can only be attacked, otherwise, what else can you do? Dilly took a deep breath and shouted: "Order, prepare for battle, and break through the enemy's defenses head-on." "The officers of the 2nd Cavalry Regiment began to prepare, organized their subordinate armies, and prepared to begin the offensive. The magician began to bless the soldiers with all kinds of defensive magic, but the most fatal thing was that because the Second Cavalry Legion was rushing to help, so those bulky war machines such as magic cannons were not brought at all, and now, to face the baptism of the magic cannons of the orc army, it would definitely cost heavy casualties.
After all, humans are no better than orcs, and orcs have a large amount of strength, so they can drag dozens of tons of magic cannons to hurry, and humans are far behind in this regard, but it is this that gives Dilly a headache.
The 1st Division of the 2nd Cavalry Regiment began to charge, and at a hundred kilometers of frontage, a million cavalry began to accelerate from fifteen kilometers away and charged towards the Orc positions. When it was close to ten kilometers, the artillery of the orc army began to prepare to open fire, and at eight kilometers, five thousand magic cannons roared in unison, spitting out five thousand magic cannonballs of various colors, and bombarded the troops of the first division of the Second Cavalry Regiment in the charge.
The magicians in the first division open their defensive magic, but there is still a difference in the power between the magician and the magic cannon, but in the first round of cannon fire, the magicians of the first division are almost vomiting blood, and it is stupid to use manpower to fight the magic cannon, but, so far, they can only do this kind of stupid thing, bottles of various magic potions are poured into the mouths of magicians without money, replenishing the consumed mana, and treating their internal injuries.
In the second and third rounds of artillery fire, the magicians of the first division had already lost one-third, and most of them were already seriously injured, and it was impossible for the magicians to confront the magic cannon head-on. And in the area that could not be defended, a large number of soldiers were blown away by magic, and many of them had even turned into a pile of minced meat, even people and horses, but seeing blood flying all over the sky, it was not miserable.
The troops of the 1st Division approached three kilometers, and a large number of giant crossbows began to shoot wildly, and countless long arrows shot out like money, shooting a dense rain of arrows at the enemy. The archers in the Howling Tigers also began to shoot arrows, using ranged attacks to resist the charge.
Closer to a kilometer, the mounts of more than 500,000 Sky Screaming Tiger Army in front of the defense attack all spewed out various magic spells at the same time, most of them were some magic that hindered the enemy's advance, such as gravity magic, swamp magic, etc., which made the charging speed of the Light Army decrease all of a sudden, but, just such a reduction, countless soldiers fell under the rain of orcs' arrows.
Approaching to five hundred meters, Xuantian waved his hand, and the soldiers of the First Army of the Howling Tiger Army began to charge, facing the enemy charge head-on, and the two sides began to intertwine, but the first division of the Second Cavalry Corps had lost nearly three percent, leaving only about 700,000 people, and the first army of the Howling Tiger Army only had 300,000 troops, and in terms of strength, the Bright Army still had an absolute advantage, but after the baptism of artillery, it is difficult to say how much combat effectiveness the Bright Army has, and after decades of hard training and running-in, it can be said that the Howling Tiger Army is the real first strong army of orcs, not to mention the strength of the soldiers, even the mounts are god-level magical beasts, so although there are only 300,000, it is definitely not a problem to completely annihilate the troops of the first division.
When the troops of the first division approached the position of the Howling Tiger Army, Dilly ordered the second division to charge, and when the second division hit five kilometers away from the position of the orc army, Dilly ordered the third division to attack, he knew very well that this kind of dense charge would definitely make the artillery fire of the orc army play the greatest role, and would cause his army to suffer heavy losses, but he knew that this was the case and he had to do so. He is piling up human lives to pile up a pathway, although the casualties make his heart ache, but he has to do it.
From the beginning to the present, the magic cannon of the orcs has not stopped, and a large number of magic cannon bombardment has made the Bright Army pay an extremely heavy price, which also allows the Bright Army to try the taste that the orc army has tried before, and the result of no powerful war machinery is like this, under the intensive artillery fire, only about seventy percent of the people who can rush to the front of the orc position, and the others have become cannon fodder under the artillery fire.
