Chapter 526: [It's Over]


Chapter 526 has ended The crucible rested on the fire, and the water inside was already boiling and bubbling.

It's worth collecting.

It has to be said that thanks to this heavy snowfall, it is very convenient for the army to get water.

Just use a pot to shovel a pot of snow in the surrounding snow to melt, and you can drink it as fresh water.

Chen Daolin's army did not need to go around chopping firewood to live, and his army carried some coal in its wagons, which were mined from the mountains.

At night, there was silence both inside and outside the fort.

Under strict rules of war etiquette, no one in the barracks was allowed to make loud noises to ensure that lookouts at the lookouts were not disturbed by noise.

A sheep that had been skinned and eviscerated was scrubbed inside and out of the snow by two warriors, and then chopped into pieces with large axes and distributed to each squad, and then thrown into the cauldrons.

Dinner was sumptuous, with dehydrated dry food, and everyone was given a bowl of hot mutton soup with thick oil splashes, and an officer's bowl of lamb.

In the middle of the night, Montoya had already woken up from his sleep, he felt that the fatigue of the days had been removed, and when he walked out of the fortress, the adjutant beside him handed him a bowl of mutton soup, Montoya took it, did not speak, drank it all, chewed the fat mutton in his mouth fiercely, and swallowed it with a grunt.

"Where's Lord Darling?"

"Your Excellency has taken someone to the front to make rounds."

Montoya nodded, and just as he was about to say something, he saw Chen Daolin's disciple, the necromancer McQueen, running over.

"What's wrong, Your Excellency Mage?"

Despite his youth, McQueen is a magician after all, and a formidable necromancer.

Therefore, the Holy Knight still maintained respect and politeness towards him.

"The teacher has an order for you, Montoya-sama."

McQueen took out a badge from his arms and showed it to Montoya, who recognized it as a token that Chen Daolin was carrying, and nodded: "What is the order?"

McQueen took a deep breath, the young magician's face with some excitement, and whispered something in Montoya's ear.

"Knowing that I will carry out my orders" Montoya's eyes lit up: "Please tell Lord Darling, my sword will always follow his orders" "The teacher never doubted this."

McQueen immediately said seriously.

Montoya left in a hurry, he left in a hurry.

The Holy Knight rushed to the back of the barracks.

Soon, there was an alarming sound inside.

When it was almost dawn, Chen Daolin returned to the barracks.

The commander in the barracks had been replaced by Montoya's deputy.

It was an officer selected from Sylvester's personal guard battalion, about forty years of age, taciturn, and had a very common name, called Adams.

"Everything is ready."

It's just Adams' report to Chen Daolin.

Chen Daolin nodded.

He knows this guy very well and is very cautious.

It is also very stable.

Although the talent in all aspects is not very outstanding.

But whether it is Montoya or Martin, the evaluation of him is: a qualified officer.

Maybe not great, but definitely qualified.

"From now on.

You are my herald.

Chen Daolin glanced at him: "When the war starts, you are responsible for the specific command. ” Adams didn't speak, but nodded. stood by Chen Daolin's side.

The orcs arrived earlier than expected.

Maybe they smelled something, and these orcs seemed to be eager to go south and seize the fat in front of them.

The sun was still shining when noon had just passed, although the winter sun didn't provide much warmth.

On the ground, above the snow line, the shadows of the orcs began to appear.

Soon there was movement on the lookout, and the warning horn was sounded.

By the time Chen Daolin walked out of the fort, Adams had already begun to carry out his task very conscientiously, and he began to supervise and urge all the troops to enter his post.

Low walls, bastions, battlements Adams's hard shouting made Chen Daolin smile slightly.

The main fort of this fort has a three-story structure, two and a half floors to be exact.

Half of its basement floor is exposed to the ground, and several ventilation openings are opened.

The top two floors are round, and the two wings are made of stones, which can be regarded as a permanent trench, and the two corridors lead to the secondary fortresses on both sides.

In terms of shape, the overall structure of this No. 7 fortress resembles a Chinese character for "mountain".

"From now on, you take over the command."

Chen Daolin confessed to Adams.

Adams hesitated: "How do we fight, my lord?"

"Fight as you want."

Chen Daolin said lightly: "You are an officer from the Northwest Division, don't you even know how to fight here, there are ready-made complete fortifications, three thousand soldiers, sufficient ordnance and food, we occupy a favorable terrain Now, Adams, show your ability" Adams hesitated slightly, and said quickly: "The fortress does not require us to put all the troops into the post at the same time, so we can leave five hundred soldiers in the fortress as a reserve.

Also, all the archers should go up to the second and third floors, my lord, I need your permission. ” "You've got my authorization."

Chen Daolin drew his saber and put it in Adams's hands: "If anyone does not obey the military order, you will cut off his head with my sword" The afternoon sun was shining on the snow, and the land was white.

The orc legions began to advance slowly, and when they reached a distance of about five hundred meters from the fortress, they stopped.

Chen Daolin stood on the third floor of the fortress, squinting his eyes and looking into the distance, and couldn't help but sigh softly.

"What an ancient way of warfare, phalanx, hehe" The orc phalanx was located right under Chen Daolin's nose, and a simple eagle eye magic made him not need a telescope at all.

The phalanx of the orcs was indeed as Montoya described, there were more than ten large and small, and the number was more or less, and the large phalanx might have two or three hundred people.

The smallest was only about thirty or fifty people.

Although on the whole, the array was quite neat, but this arrangement made Chen Daolin can't help but sneer in his heart.

The tribal army is really ancient The fact that the orc warriors are of course powerful and ferocious has already experienced and observed them up close when Chen Daolin first came to this world.

But from a war point of view, the orc armies still maintain their traditions: backward tribal structures.

The orc army in front of him should belong to a relatively powerful tribe in the orc kingdom.

But the structure of the orc kingdom is that there are large and small tribes under the tribe.

These tribes range from large to small, with large tribes perhaps having thousands or even thousands of people, and the smallest tribes.

It may even be a population of one hundred and ten.

When the orcs go to war, the orc king sends war orders to the various tribes.

Each tribe descends to its own tribes, large and small.

Then the tribes, large and small, will mobilize the warriors of their own tribes to participate in the war.

As a result, the orc army does not have a more scientific and reasonable army structure like the army of the Roland Empire, although it is a feudal army, but at least it has a more reasonable army structure.

The orc organization is more scattered.

They are in tribal units.

Larger tribes may have a larger population base.

The fighters pulled out could probably be in the hundreds.

Smaller tribes, on the other hand, have a small population base.

The fighters who pulled out could be only a few dozen.

Each tribe has its own phalanx, which is distinct from each other.

From Chen Daolin's point of view.

This is definitely a big drawback.

The number of combat units in the army needs to be tight.

When there are fighters, you need to send a company, or a regiment This is a fixed quantity value.

It's hard to imagine.

When you have an army under your command, some armies have a company of 100 men, some armies have a company of 300 men, and some armies have a company of 30 men This is an absolute nightmare for the commander The orcs were not in a hurry to attack, and Adams watched by Chen Daolin's side for a while, and said in a low voice, "Their number is a little smaller than the other day. ” "Oh," Chen Daolin glanced at Adams with interest.

"A thousand or two at most."

Adams shook his head: "The orcs we saw before will not be less than fifteen hundred. ” "Could it be that they divided their troops," Chen Daolin smiled.

"No, they are infantry, there is no point in dividing the troops, it seems that Lord Montoya's strategy has worked, the few hundred people, it should be that they occupy our fortress along the way, and divide their forces to occupy the guard.

These orcs are used to being poor, and they won't let go when they grab a bone. ” "Very good strategy."

Chen Daolin smiled: "In order to start a war, the strength of the orcs has been weakened by two percent." ” After laughing, Chen Daolin said slowly: "Okay, start now, get ready to work hard."

They're going to attack soon."

The orcs attacked faster than expected.

After watching for a while at a distance of eight hundred meters from the fortress, they immediately began to beat the strange drums, with the sound of the trumpets.

The orcs of the two phalanxes began to move forward slowly, and they strode forward while deliberately roaring and roaring, as if this was the tradition of the orcs, as if to boost their morale and intimidate the enemy through this crazy roar.

When the orcs of the two phalanxes entered the area of five hundred meters, the archers of the human defenders began to shoot.

The volley of more than four hundred archers gave the orcs a hard blow head-on Someone in the two phalanxes of the orcs was soon hit by an arrow and fell to the ground.

And they started to push fast.

At the same time, the queue spread out quickly.

The orcs began to run as hard as they could, trying to trade degrees for casualties, and advanced under the bunker's defenses as quickly as possible.

The orcs ran very fast, and the area of five hundred meters effectively covered by the archers took the orcs only about two minutes.

And in the case of humans, after the archers had only had time to fire three volleys, the commander gave the order to fire freely.

These three volleys gave the orcs a painful blow, and they were seen by eye.

The number of orcs who fell reached about half of the charging ranks.

Behind the low wall on the ground, the soldiers also took bows and arrows and began to shoot flat, and coupled with the dive shots on the fortress, the dense rain of arrows weakened the orc charging queue little by little.

Chen Daolin was a little curious in his heart, it seemed that the attack of the orcs was too disintegrated, but soon, Adams said quickly: "These two phalanxes are just the first to try, that is, the so-called cannon fodder, and their role is to consume our bows and arrows."

At the same time, they test our reality and reality, even if they are killed or wounded, as long as they can rush under our defenses.

Entangled with us, then the follow-up troops will come up, and at that time, when our soldiers fall into hand-to-hand combat, the number of archers will be greatly reduced. ” When the phalanx of these two orcs gave about a hundred lives, they finally rushed to the low wall.

The orc brigade behind began to stir The orcs in the four phalanxes suddenly began to charge and roar.

The formation spread out and charged swiftly towards the fortress Chen Daolin smiled coldly when he saw it: "Let's start" said.

He glanced at Adams.

Adams rushed out of the battlement, picked up the horn and blew it.

Forthwith.

I saw that among the soldiers at the front of the fortress hiding behind the low wall, several people rushed out and cut off a device hidden behind the low wall When the rope is cut.

There was a "buzz" sound Outside the low wall, about thirty meters long, the snow on the ground suddenly slammed up Beneath the ground, a fence filled with sharp sticks was turned out Each section of these fences is three or four meters long, and there are more than ten sections Originally buried under the snow, once the rope was cut and jumped, it suddenly showed a forty-five degree angle, pointing the sharp end to the sky The orcs who rushed in front were immediately stopped, and some orcs ran before they had time to stop, and they hit it head-on, and they were immediately pierced through their bodies These more than 10 fences almost blocked more than eighty percent of the defense line in the preface of the low wall The orcs faced the fences, stuck in place.

The heavy fence blocked the direction of the orcs, and in the face of the sharp wooden sticks on the fence, they could not move forward, but could only roar in vain, and some orcs picked up their weapons and tried to split the fence.

But in doing so, their progress has reached a stalemate.

The defenders on the bunker began to use their bows and arrows to their heart's content, and wave after wave of arrows rained down on the heads of the orcs, and the orcs kept screaming and falling to the ground.

The four phalanxes that came up later, at this moment, had rushed into the range of the defenders' bows and arrows At this time, the orcs made a fatal mistake, their commander did not seem to make a judgment, nor did he order them to retreat back, these four phalanxes of more than five hundred orcs, still running forward with all their might.

The human archers fired two more volleys, and the running orcs fell to the ground as if they were harvesting wheat.

As more and more orcs crowded in front of the rows of fences outside the low wall, it was like a dam where the tide met.

More and more orcs crowded here, the orcs in the back tried to push forward, and the orcs in the front row roared in vain.

Some of the fences were crumbling despite the hard slashing, and some orcs tried to get around them But after all, the degree is blocked.

This gave the defenders' archers time to slaughter Large numbers of orcs crowded in front of the fence, and in a matter of minutes, they were almost a live target Archers don't even need to aim too much, as long as they shoot arrows at a pile of people, they will barely miss.

At this time, sporadic battles also began to appear in the low wall.

Although the fence line had achieved its effect, there were still gaps after all, and some orcs squeezed through it, pasted the low wall, and directly attacked the soldiers behind the low wall.

But the strength of such an attack was too weak, and the sporadic orcs rushed to the low wall, and were immediately stabbed to death by seven or eight human soldiers on the left and right with spears.

Even though some orcs bravely crossed the low wall, after leaping into the low wall, they were greeted by swords slashing at the same time from all directions By the time the fence had finally been split through several gaps, the orcs had already paid the price for more than three hundred lives After the largest gap was split, the orcs let out a roar and rushed to the low wall like a tidal wave, and the hand-to-hand combat finally began But at this time, the power of the orc's attack was less than one-third Everything, everything.

It's like a remake of the last time Montoya led the team.

Behind the low wall, the orcs were greeted by rows of guns like a wood, and the orcs were seen to be more and more worn on their spears as if they were roasting meat.

Occasionally, some gaps were opened, but soon human soldiers filled them.

The spearmen put up only a short resistance, and after inflicting a lot of damage on the orcs, they began to drop their spears en masse and retreat.

They were replaced by hundreds of sword-wielding soldiers who were already ready in the back Most of these soldiers are escorts made up by the Chamber of Commerce, and these people may not be able to fight tough battles, but this kind of beating of water dogs is still done decently.

No more than a hundred orcs were lucky enough to break into the low wall, and most of them were wounded, and the battle lasted less than five minutes The orcs exerted six phalanxes of attacking force, almost half of their strength, and the result was dead and wounded The orc brigade behind seemed to be in a tangle.

Obviously.

Their collar does not possess the quality of Kill Determination.

The orcs seemed to be entangled, so they rushed up again to fight, or retreated, after all, they had already lost nearly half of their troops.

Even in Chen Daolin's opinion, the ranks of the orcs began to disperse.

Some of the phalanxes seemed to be trying to move forward, while others were slowly squirming backwards "Damn if I had a longbow team" Chen Daolin sighed secretly in his heart.

Of course, he wanted to make a class like the English longbowmen.

However, the longbow is not an easy class to train, although the range of the longbow is very impressive.

If there is a longbow team, the distance of 800 meters should also be within the range of the longbow, and at this time, just one salvo will completely throw the enemy into chaos.

"Let the signal be sent to Montoya" Chen Daolin nodded to McQueen, who was standing beside him.

McQueen immediately pulled out a wooden tube from his bosom and broke it with all his might.

Suddenly.

A puff of red smoke rushed straight into the sky A few hundred meters behind the fortress.

Immediately after the woods, there was the sound of horses' hooves Where is it.

On Chen Daolin's orders, Montoya concentrated the most elite 300 cavalry in the cavalry here, all of which were the personal guard battalions of the original Northwest Division This is the real elite Three hundred horsemen got the signal.

They quickly walked out from behind the woods where they were hiding, and with a whistling sound, they rushed towards the orc brigade that was still standing there in the distance Montoya's left hand is a tomahawk.

With a mace in his right hand, he was the first to rush into the orc phalanx The orc phalanx seems to have been a little disorganized.

The sight of the loss of the attacking forces caused the orcs to panic.

When Montoya rushed into the phalanx first, the shield in the hands of the orcs in the front row was easily shattered by the fighting spirit of the holy knight The mace smashed into the face of an orc warrior and flew out with a mass of flesh and more than a dozen teeth.

In Montoya's other hand, the battle axe also slashed an orc with a shield into the air at the same time The phalanx was violently knocked open a gap, and the cavalry frantically crashed into it The first phalanx was quickly chiseled through At this time, the problem of the backwardness of the orc army was exposed Each of their phalanxes is distinct, resulting in a lack of connection with each other, and a lack of coordination between large and small phalanxes.

When one phalanx was chiseled through, the rest of the surrounding phalanx seemed to be in chaos, some phalanxes tried to come and fight, some seemed to be retreating, and some seemed to be hesitating what to do.

The three hundred horsemen pierced into the ranks of the orcs like a sharp knife This charge, Montoya was not greedy, when the team chiseled through a phalanx, before the orcs could react to their senses, Montoya had already led the cavalry away quickly, towards the flank far away from the battlefield This is the method that Chen Daolin told Montoya, which is also called Kite flying.

Montoya retreated as soon as he fought, picked up the bargain and ran.

This practice finally angered the orcs.

Two phalanxes broke away from the brigade at the same time and pursued Montoya's cavalry team in a fierce pursuit.

But in the wilderness, where can a two-legged orc outrun a four-legged warhorse?

After running for a while, when the pursuers behind Montoya were scattered, he made a quick detour, then turned back and bit off a piece of flesh on the orc's body In fact, the cavalry did not kill the orcs so much, but the disturbing effect on the team was very obvious.

And here in the fortress, Chen Daolin is ready to fight back.

Adams, with five hundred sword-wielding soldiers, had already crossed the fortress and formed a charging procession, rushing towards the orc's main team And by this time, the orc team was already scattered Chen Daolin did not personally participate in the battle with the strength of a saint-rank powerhouse, even if he made a single move, he could clean up this orc.

But he has always stood by and watched, and his purpose is very clear "After this battle, this rookie army should be considered advanced."

He shook his head.

McQueen next to him seemed to be a little eager to try: "Teacher, are we just here to watch?"

"Do you want to go up" Chen Daolin waved his hand and smiled: "This battle is over." ” The 6,000-word chapter was delivered To be continued. “”:
