Seventy-seven, the flames of war (6)
This is a pure cavalry war, a large number of cavalry in a front of twenty kilometers wide with a huge number of enemies to fight a battle of life and death, the three major beast god legions did not concentrate all their strength to deal with the eighth cavalry corps, people are concentrated about half of the troops, but it is concentrated all the elite troops, including 2.5 million tiger heavy cavalry, 2.5 million lion heavy cavalry, 3 million wolf cavalry elite and 40 million ordinary wolf cavalry, a total of 48 million troops. The total strength of the Eighth Cavalry Corps of Guangming is 30 million, and the difference in strength between the two sides is 18 million, and the difference in strength is not very far.
The Tiger Man Heavy Cavalry, the Lion Man Heavy Cavalry and the Wolf Cavalry Elite became three huge arrows to charge towards the Eighth Cavalry Corps, while the 40 million cavalry was divided into three groups, with 20 million wolf cavalry following the Tiger Heavy Cavalry to form the middle army, and 10 million wolf cavalry on the left and right wings followed behind. The Eighth Cavalry Regiment concentrated nine million heavy cavalry, and when they saw the orcs attacking in three ways, they also divided into three ways to resist, and the shock torrent of the two sides collided together, and the battle began.
The combat effectiveness of the orcs is relatively strong, while the bright army has the blessing of magic, the combat effectiveness of both sides is almost equal, both sides are elite armies, and they have a lot of combat experience, therefore, in terms of morale and other aspects, they are not as good as they were then, it can be said that this is a close contest.
Due to the width of the position, tens of millions of cavalry can not be put into the battlefield at one time, can only be put into the battlefield in batches, if the density of the cavalry is too large, then a forbidden spell down, the casualties will be large, therefore, the first batch of cavalry of the orcs is only 600,000, but 600,000 is already considerable, on the twenty-five kilometers wide position formed a black torrent, rushing towards the bright army, under the dim moonlight, but see the shadow of the sword like snow, only hear the sound of hooves like thunder, only see the dust in the sky。
The collision between the cavalry and the cavalry began, the long knives of the orcs slashed the cavalry of the Bright Army one by one under the horse, in this kind of heavy cavalry engagement, the long knives of the orcs are definitely the upper hand, the long knife of up to four meters long, or the product of the dwarf race, the power is definitely not idle, every knife is cut out, it is full of fighting spirit Sometimes, under a knife, even the people and mounts are cut in half, only to see the blood splashed, blood stained yellow sand.
The big sword of the bright army is not dry to eat, although the power of the big sword is not as good as the long knife, but it can also kill people, from time to time there are orc cavalry by the big sword under the horse, in such a battlefield, no matter how strong the person is, he can only protect himself, in the face of countless enemies, I don't know where the fighting spirit of the road is cut from, and I don't know what the magic of the road is blasted from, all the cavalry can only rush desperately to kill the past, and those who do not have the courage to charge will only die faster.
Under the moonlight, the two torrents were converging, and then, in the process of shrinking, by half an hour, the torrent on one side had disappeared, and the cavalry of the first wave of the Light Army had been completely wiped out, and the orcs still had about half of their strength left, and the first formation was a complete victory for the orcs.
The combat effectiveness of the orcs was originally above the bright army, although the bright army had the blessing of magic, but, on the mounts of weapons and equipment, it was still the orcs who had an advantage, although these advantages did not reach the point of deciding the outcome of the war, but, on the battlefield, the advantage was sometimes half of the victory, and in such a head-to-head battle, the result of the advantage was that the orcs lost half of their troops and annihilated the opponent's 700,000 troops.
The first wave of orc cavalry retreated, the second wave of cavalry was killed again, and the Bright Army also sent a second wave of cavalry, and the two sides tore together again, and the corpses on the ground gradually increased, and countless wounded people who were injured but incapacitated were trampled into meat cakes by a large number of mounts, and this battle began to become more cruel.
Countless mounts and human corpses turned into clumps of flesh and mud, becoming fertilizer under this yellow sand, and waves of cavalry rushed to retreat, and a new wave of new forces was replaced, and in this way the two sides continued to invest their troops, and the number of cavalry was decreasing at a rate of millions per hour, and the sun began to rise in the east.
Here, when the three armies of the beast god and the eighth cavalry legion of the bright army are fighting to the death, although the ninth legion over there has been supported by the eleventh and twelfth legions, but they were still killed and fled, a large number of soldiers fell under the iron hooves of the orc cavalry, turned into the ghost under the knife, and the defeated soldiers retreated like a tide, but unfortunately, most of them are infantry, although the speed is not slow, but it is not as good as the four legs of the cavalry, if there is no large number of reinforcements, then these three legions will be eaten by the orcs sooner or later.
Although there is a certain gap in the combat effectiveness of the two sides, it is not very large, however, the bright army has been attacking for eight consecutive days, coupled with the fact that they have not been well rested, the soldiers are already quite tired, and the three armies of the orcs have a good rest in these eight days, basically not going out, so that the morale and fatigue of the two sides are not at the same level at all, the orcs are working for Yi, and the bright army can not be said to be extremely tired, but it is also very tired, and the combat effectiveness can be maintained at about seventy percent is good, so that the two sides are fighting, naturally the bright army has suffered a big loss, coupled with the natural suppression of the cavalry on the infantry, the undefeated light army is a ghost。
In the middle of the battle, the 14th, 15th and 16th legions of the Bright Army supported the ninth, eleventh and twelfth legions after a short rest, gathering the main forces of the three legions and the remnants of the three legions, which barely blocked the front of the three armies of the orcs, and a large number of infantry lined up in formation to block the onslaught of the orc cavalry, but the battle was far from over.
The battle is still ongoing, the Eighth Light Cavalry Legion has reached the end of the road, although Somas has gathered the cavalry units of other legions to support, but, in the face of the attack of the powerful cavalry of the Orc Three Guards, the cavalry of the Light Army still fell under the butcher knife of the Orc Cavalry, and the strength in his hands has become less and less, on the contrary, although the Orcs have also paid a great price, but the Orcs still maintain a fairly strong combat effectiveness.
Originally, the Orc Ninth Army and the Bright Ten Army are basically the same level of army, the strength of the two sides is not much different, they are the elite of the elite, but the orcs have spent great effort on the Orc Ninth Army since the reform of Xuantian, and the Orc Ninth Army has come to a large equipment and training, which has made the strength of the Orc Ninth Army have been rapidly improved, if the combat effectiveness of the original two sides is still one to one, then the Orc Nine Army has reached the level of one to two after equipment and intensive training. Now, the elite of the three armies has been gathered to fight an Eighth Cavalry Legion, and it is really unreasonable for the Eighth Cavalry Legion to be undefeated.
The sun went down again, the earth was dark again, and the wind on the summer night was still quite cool, but the earth was now in flames of war, and the orcs did not stop attacking, and the Light Army couldn't stop if they wanted to, but the Light Army suffered a big loss. The orcs have been ready for battle early in the morning, and there is food and water on their bodies, which can be eaten and replenished at any time, but the bright army is not prepared at all, and after a hard fight in the middle of the night, the soldiers are tired and hungry, and even the most physical strength has been exhausted, and the soldiers just gritted their teeth and persisted, if it weren't for the continuous fierce attack of the orcs, I am afraid that the bright army would have fallen to the ground from exhaustion early in the morning.
Somas was already crying bitterly in his heart, he never dreamed that he would be beaten so badly, he was too careless, if his preparation was a little more sufficient, it would not have fallen to this point, his eighth cavalry corps was almost finished, only more than three million remnants remained, but there were more than 10 million of the more than 30 million troops of the orcs, although it had paid nearly fifty percent of the losses, but if it could annihilate a unit of the Ten Bright Armies here, the orc three guards were still very happy.
Because the battlefield is not too big, although the Bright Army has more troops, it can no longer be put into the battlefield, and the remaining few legions that did not participate in the war saw that they could not support their own people, so they took the opportunity to attack the orc camp, but there were still four legions in the orc camp, and if the Bright Army wanted to capture the orc camp with the troops of five legions, there was basically no hope.
It can be said that the battle of the Bright Army is lost, as long as the Eighth Cavalry Legion is destroyed, it will be an unprecedented victory for the orcs, although the Bright Ten Army has also been defeated, but it has never been completely annihilated, if it is completely annihilated here, it is only afraid that the Temple of Light will be shaken, therefore, Somas has to play the idea of retreating, but now, more than 100 million troops are intertwined with the enemy army on this battlefield, and it is not so easy to retreat.
Yinyue, who was standing on the wall, had never changed her face, and the five tiger maids beside her were all watching the battlefield with her, but they couldn't see anything. Yinyue looked at it for a while, smiled and said, "When the battle comes to this, Somas should be retreating, but is it so easy for him to retreat? If I don't wipe you out here today, will Brother Tian and I still be called Xuantian Yinyue?"
In the first half of the night on June 28, Somas was finally about to retreat, but just as he was about to retreat, a scout Pegasus ran up to him and reported: "Report to the deputy commander-in-chief, a large number of troops have come to the north of our army, the number is very large, it is the banner of the orcs, it is estimated that it will be able to arrive in two hours, please ask the deputy commander-in-chief to instruct." "What? What kind of troops is the other side?" "We just saw the dust, but the opponent's attack was very large, we estimated that it should be the wolf cavalry, their forward line stretched up to 200 kilometers away, and the left and right flanks had already outflanked our army. ”
Somas's face changed drastically all day long, he couldn't imagine that the orcs still had a large number of troops behind as reinforcements, and his subordinates were exhausted after a day and two nights of fighting, how could they resist the orc reinforcements? How is this good? They must not be able to fight, then they can only retreat, but, in the face of the speed of the orc wolf cavalry, can they retreat if they want to?
