Chapter 172: The Ruins Are Shocked
The rolling torrent only paused on the ruins before regaining its original speed, and after crossing the ruins of the stone wall, there was a large flat land, and at the end of the flat land, a wall of earth was crisscrossed and crisscrossed, making people look at it with an inexplicable fear.
With the encounter in front of the ruins of the stone wall just now, the leading cavalry subconsciously reduced the speed of advance, but the cavalry behind did not know, and still rushed forward at the original speed, the war horse neighed, and the leading cavalry was forced to continue to charge forward, and after traveling for nearly two miles, he found that there was nothing wrong with the ground, so the leading cavalry began to accelerate again, but just over two miles, the war horse suddenly stumbled and threw out the group of cavalry in front!
Another trap!
The Imperial cavalry of Kotler now has the urge to greet the mother of the orc, since the beginning of the war, the orcs have harvested the lives of a large number of imperial soldiers with traps, is the other party really an orc known for its stupidity? Why is it more cunning and treacherous than a fox? This trap is arranged in a position that is just where the cavalry relaxes and immerses, and even humans can't think of this kind of scheming, when did the orcs become so smart!
The cavalry forward was only two miles away from the earthen wall that was more than one person high, and I don't know how to see the orcs who saw the cavalry entering the trap area emerge from the earthen wall, and before the cavalry could react, a black cloud with a whistling sound had already floated over.
"Archer......s! Uh......".
Before the words of one of the team leaders fell, a black silk feather arrow was slanted into his chest, looking at the feather arrow on his chest in disbelief, looking up at the increasingly blurred earthen wall, a doubtful thought floated through his mind.
He was at least a mile away from the earthen wall, how could this arrow knock him down? The captain, who was destined to not get an answer, was thrown off his horse, and was trampled into pulp by the cavalry that followed.
Although a large number of soldiers died because of traps and feather arrows, and caused a series of chain reactions, but the cavalry of the Kotler Empire did not stay in the second trap area for too long, the main reason for this is that the speed of the cavalry is too fast, and the span of the trap area is small, so after paying nearly 10,000 casualties again, the cavalry troops finally approached the earthen wall, the earthen wall more than one person high does not look thick, but the cavalry has no way to effectively organize the attack, and the cavalry unit fell into a state of stagnation for a while, and in this process, the orc's arrow rain has not stopped, and the casualties of the troops began to rise significantly。
Some cavalry raised bows and arrows to shoot at the orcs, but because the troops were crowded, the accuracy and range were affected, although there were also orcs who fell off the earthen wall with arrows, but the number was not much, and once a batch of counterattack forces were found, the orc's arrow rain would focus on taking care of it, and quickly cleaned up the area into a blank, while some cavalry ran directly into the earthen wall, but became a target and was shot into a hedgehog, and the corpse was pushed between the earthen walls, which brought greater inconvenience to the later cavalry.
"Why did the cavalry stop suddenly?" The prince, who had been following the battle situation, stood up directly from his seat after seeing the cavalry troops stagnate.
"Report to Your Highness, the forward cavalry was disturbed by the earthen wall built by the orcs and could not continue to advance, and the cavalry detachment that tried to attack failed several times, and the number of casualties in the troops was ...... It's already more than 10 thousand. ”
Hearing this news, the generals next to him gasped, from the cavalry charge to now it is not even an hour, the cavalry's battle loss ratio is amazingly high, over time, this number will definitely be higher, if the prince has no better way, then this cavalry force may even be destroyed.
Up to now, except for those orcs on the stone wall, I don't know where the main force of the opposing army is dormant, but the orc empire has calculated some of them too accurately, and the distance between the cavalry and infantry is indeed shrinking, but if you want to cross the ruins to reach the periphery of the earthen wall, in addition to the speed and the blocking problem of the cavalry itself.
For a while, the eyes of all the generals and priests were focused on the prince who was contemplating.
"The cavalry retreats, the whole army stops! Logistics life, all the generals lead the army to obey the order!" After speaking, the prince returned to the tent with a gloomy face, and the generals and priests all looked at each other, but they didn't dare to say more, the horn of retreat sounded, and the cavalry who were crowded and wandering in front of the maze of earthen walls turned their horses' heads with difficulty, and wanted to return to the main force in embarrassment, but things were not as simple as imagined.
The ruins, which had been shattered by magic, suddenly began to emit wisps of smoke and dust, and a low sound accompanied the shaking ruins.
"Speed! Speed! Speed!"
The commander who led the troops immediately understood what was about to happen, but as soon as he gave the order, he heard louder and louder noises, and the ground began to shake violently, and the frightened horses stood up, throwing the unprepared cavalry to the ground, and some of the horses neighed and scurried back and forth in the ranks, causing the troops to fall into even greater confusion.
The war horse was restless, the cavalry was frightened and frightened, and the cavalry who also saw the abnormality was afraid of hitting the mount under the crotch, and wanted to let the war horse have two more legs, but whether it was the general or the sharp-eyed cavalry, they all understood it a little later.
The muffled sound finally turned into thunder, and the ruins collapsed suddenly, along with the cavalry on the ruins who had no time to escape, and the retreating cavalry also fell because of the speed that was too fast, and some of the cavalry that stopped at the edge were squeezed down.
The horses screamed, the frightened screams of the cavalry came from the ground, and the faces of all the cavalrymen became extremely ugly.
The mutation on the battlefield naturally also reached the ears of the prince, out of the big tent, just to see that the ruins were slowly falling, forming a ravine about ten miles long and about ten meters wide, the sudden change made the cavalry divided into two sections, this situation made all the human generals stunned, just a few days ago, the 100,000 cavalry of the empire was divided and surrounded, and then went to destruction, and now the orcs actually used the same tactic again, and once again achieved the tactical goal: successfully divided the cavalry phalanx!
In the same way, to achieve the same tactical goals, the Orc Empire has always been the real master of this war!
When all the human generals came up with this idea, their eyes returned to the isolated cavalry phalanx, the orc empire had completely divided the cavalry troops, and the next thing to do was ...... Massacre!
The Eagle Men in the air, who had been chasing the cavalry in the rear, gave up the pursuit of the remnants of the cavalry, allowing them to flee back to their own formation, and then turned and rushed towards the cavalry that had been trapped, while the archers on the earthen wall kept the arrows raining down, and the orc warriors who had been hiding inside the earthen wall began to rush out in groups, and then smashed into the cavalry phalanx.
Seeing this scene, all human beings couldn't help but close their eyes, there were about 50,000 cavalry trapped by the division, and these more than 50,000 people were the vanguard of the cavalry troops, and many generals who led the team were among them, and in the cavalry troops, the generals were often at the forefront, because they were the strongest and could inspire morale the most.
And when the troops began to turn around, the front team became the rear team, because of the lack of time, coupled with the chaos of the team, these more than 50,000 cavalry were trapped in a narrow strip between the earthen wall and the ravine, not to mention the charge, the space was so small that even the horses turned very difficult, in this state, if they were still riding on horses, they were waiting for death.
"Cavalry dismount, white-knuckle combat!"
The general who led the team was no longer the young commander, but a middle-aged man with a resolute expression, he was the commander's adjutant, just on the way to charge, the commander led nearly a hundred cavalry to rush close to the earthen wall, except for the screams, he could no longer hear any other sound, according to the emperor's regulations, he automatically took over the commander's burden, looking at the groups of orcs more and more outside the earthen wall, this middle-aged man raised his weapon high, and then rushed around the war horse to a cyan werewolf.
This middle-aged commander used a two-handed broadsword, and he knew that the weight was not light when he looked at the thickness of the sword, and in the werewolf opposite him was the long knife, the blade was very wide but as thin as a cicada's wings, seeing this human warrior rushing towards him, the werewolf showed a cruel smile, flicked the long knife, and slashed the thick back of the big sword towards the other party's shoulder.
The commander was surprised, he didn't expect the werewolf's action to be so fast, the long sword that was split suddenly changed to a sweep, the werewolf had no choice but to give up the attack and dodge, the commander who got the first opportunity just showed joy on his face, the expression on his face was directly frozen, and he looked at the long knife that suddenly appeared on his chest in disbelief, looking at the empty-handed werewolf in front of him, the commander couldn't understand that he had obviously taken the lead, how could it be himself who failed? And it was so fast?
The commander, who couldn't get an answer, coughed up a mouthful of black blood, held the big sword in his hand tightly, and threw himself at the werewolf with all his strength, even if it was death, he had to make him pay a price, no matter how small.
Looking at this persistent warrior, the werewolf sneered and shook his arms, and two steel claws slipped down his forearms just on his hands, and when the warrior who led the flower rushed in front of him, his body was slightly on one side, and after dodging the opponent's desperate blow, the steel claws were raised, the human head fell to the ground, and blood gushed out from his neck, turning into a blood mist that dyed scarlet within five steps around.
From the time this commander launched the attack to the time he died, it was only five breaths, but no one noticed this wonderful duel, because this happened in all corners of the battlefield, and the werewolves with excellent equipment and extremely high combat ability were soon interspersed in the crowded battlefield, blood splattered everywhere they passed, whether it was weapons or equipment, they were like tissue paper in front of the orcs.
The cavalry, who was already afraid, saw that the orcs slaughtered so efficiently and completely collapsed, and the screams resounded inside and outside the battlefield, as more and more orcs appeared in the earthen wall, the remaining cavalry pushed and shoved to the ravine where the smoke and dust had dispersed, and after seeing the depth of the ravine in front of him, the soldiers who had fallen into despair couldn't help but show joy on their faces, the ravine was not deep, and there were slopes on both sides, although it was steeper, but as long as there was some ability, it could be climbed.
This glimmer of hope was like a life-saving straw, allowing more and more soldiers to slide down the deep ditch, but when they slid to the bottom and began to climb upward, they were horrified to find that the sky was dark, and when they looked up, they couldn't help but look gray, and hundreds of eagle men appeared in sight, so many that they had blocked the sky.
It's a trap!
