Chapter 366 The Collapsed Battlefield(1/2)
Author: Baoyue Liuguang
Orgrim's tactics are as simple and crude as ever, with a strong orc style.
Use the orcs' powerful infantry legion to penetrate the alliance's defense line frontally, divide and disintegrate one part and annihilate it. If things go well, you can also launch an all-out attack to crush the alliance frontally.
However, the alliance has adopted the method of leveling the battle line as always, stacking each unit as close as possible to avoid being defeated individually.
In the past period, the violent fighting style of the orcs has left a strong impression on all countries in the alliance. Only strict defense can withstand such attacks...
Old Henry held the spear and followed his infantry phalanx forward slowly. From the farmers in Nanhai Town to the Royal Guards of Alterac, from the leisurely farming life to running to the wetlands to fight the savage orcs, Old Henry felt that
The experience this year has been like a dream.
First, he followed the militia of Nanhai Town to Alterac to participate in the war with the Frostwolf Orcs, and saw with his own eyes that the old king Aiden was 'sacrificed'.
Old Henry, who was lucky enough to survive, also advanced from a spear militia to a spear infantry.
He was incorporated into the Prince's Parliamentary Army and fought a bad battle with the nobles for several months, from Alterac City to Dalongmere City. Old Henry was very lucky. Not only was he lucky not to die, but he was also promoted due to his military merits.
Two levels.
Became a level 4 infantry member - Alterac Royal Guard.
As soon as I arrived at the front line of the wetlands today, I encountered a massive counterattack by the orcs, so I followed my troops to the battlefield again.
Some people say that war brings vitality to the world. Old Henry is not sure whether this is true, but there is one thing he is sure of, the war does bring vitality to him.
When he was farming in Nanhai Town last year, he was so old that he was about to die at any time, and he was scared to death when he met several fishmen.
Now that he has been fighting for two years, his muscles can almost burst his armor, and he is as strong as a bull.
Hey! Kill! Hey! Kill!
The Royal Guards of Alterac were the infantry of the resistance line. They lined up in a supported formation to resist the waves of orc charges. Every time Old Henry thrust out his spear, he could feel the feeling of metal piercing flesh.
These savage orcs had almost no fear and rushed to the front of the phalanx crazily, launching a savage attack without any tactics.
This violent fighting style once broke the line, and a phalanx on the left was cut through the center, and was almost instantly chopped down by the orcs who rushed into the phalanx.
But looking at the tragic death of his companions, old Henry didn't have the slightest fear. What is there to be afraid of? Isn't it death? The Holy Light will bring the souls of the war dead into the world of light and enjoy peace forever.
Hey! Kill! Hey! Kill!
Old Henry shouted slogans and thrust out the spear with all his strength again. The 7th Guards Brigade of Alterac withstood the attack as always.
Darkseid (Prince of Alterac): "I withstood it! Haha, I finally withstood this wave of offensive. These orcs are so damn fierce, they almost destroyed my direct lineage."
Victor (Prince of Alterac): "This Legion BUFF of Holy Light's Will is really useful. The morale is increased by 30 points. These soldiers are not at all prone to collapse - the whole army attacks!"
Teacher Ma (Prince of Alterac): "I led this army to defeat seven or eight noble rebel armies. The training level has been maxed out for a long time. It will definitely not collapse."
Throughout the morning, the Alliance and the Horde concentrated their main forces and fought heartily in the muddy swamp where the fog had dispersed.
The tribe launched a fierce attack from the front with sixteen orc infantry clan legions, and once pushed the alliance's line to the Darkwater River.
However, all the alliance's ministries strictly defended and advanced and retreated together, and the front line was never separated.
The Knights of the Silver Hand seized the opportunity and launched a fierce attack from the right wing, which not only directly blocked the orcs' advance, but also defeated the Wolf Knight Legion that came to confront the line.
The orcs also dispatched an army of cavalry including Hell Boar Riders, Steppenwolf Cavalry, and Troll Raptor Raiders, launching intersecting attacks from multiple points.
However, the participating knights from all the alliance countries were brave and good at fighting. Especially in this kind of head-on confrontation, they pushed back the tribe's cavalry every time.
Ba Dao Wu Wu looked at the corpses everywhere with lingering fear. The Ba Dao clan had lost too many warriors here, and now there were only three thousand Hell Boar Knights left who could still fight.
A messenger came flying over.
"The Great Chief orders you to charge again, and the Blackstone Warg Knight will fight alongside you."
"Tell the chief! No one in the Ba Dao clan will retreat. Brothers - follow me and charge!"
Ba Dao Wu Qing said and waved his sword, and the Wild Boar Rider moved forward to kill without hesitation. He did not dare to retreat. The tribe in the intelligence trap yesterday suffered a direct strategic defeat. He could feel that Orgrim really wanted to kill people.
We have to fight no matter what we say today. It depends on who escapes first. The first one to escape will definitely be punished.
Fortunately, his clan was not the only one who launched the charge. The wolf cavalry joined his Hell Boar Riders like a tide, and then collided with the alliance's knights.
The injured wild boar sounded its dying horn, the roar of the orcs, the shouts of humans, and the sound of slashing swords.
Ba Dao ruthlessly wielded the magic iron sword and chopped off the head of a human knight with one blow. Looking at the thinning battle line of human knights in front of him, a glimmer of hope arose in his heart.
There is a door!
At this moment, a group of white horse cavalry passed by like the wind from a distance.
Standing on horseback, all elven archers bent their bows and nocked arrows from a distance, shooting out waves of arrows.
Puff puff! The orc cavalry that lacked armor fell down in droves.
Today, there are actually horse archers? Ba Dao was ruthless and angry. The wolf cavalry governor who teamed up with him still wanted to chase him, but he had already seen that these elven horse archers were riding top-notch war horses.
, and the elf's body is so light that it can run like the wind, making it impossible to catch up.
Sure enough, the wolf cavalry who were chasing after them were shot by kites from afar before they even got close, and they couldn't get in at all.
"Retreat! Retreat!" Ba Dao Wuqing roared, turned around and ran away.
Haha, that’s cool!
While quickly passing through the battlefield, they bent their bows and fired arrows. This force of horse archers came and went like the wind. They were the elven ranger knights from Quel'Thalas. They were also an experimental force that had never been seen in the past thousands of years.
Some ranger generals will combine archers and cavalry, but it turns out that this kind of unit that combines bows and horses is very powerful, with both mobility and long-range attack capabilities.
Dealing with the orcs who lack countermeasures is simply a downgrade strike.
Sylvanas Windrunner (Ranger General): "Alleria, what am I saying? Horse archers will be a military revolution."
Alleria Windrunner looked at the fallen orcs and couldn't help but marvel. She glanced at the second sister next to her with some admiration, "Second sister, you are indeed a military genius. You can actually come up with such a tactic."
Sylvanas Windrunner (Ranger General): "Haha, it was actually the suggestions provided by the Fourth Prince. I also built this army with the mentality of giving it a try. I didn't expect the effect to be so good."
A handsome blond elf man rode a horse and stood side by side with Sylvanas. "In any case, I just provided some ideas. Thanks to General Sylvanas's excellent leadership, it was realized."
As he spoke, he smiled gently at Sylvanas. Sylvanas also had the happy attitude of a young woman. The two of them exchanged glances, but they made all the licking dogs around them envious.
"Oh my God, Queen Hope is going to be kidnapped. I can't stand it. I can't stand it."
"Damn it, how great is a prince? Sure enough, women are real. I help you build your reputation and materials every day without even looking at me. You will fall for this prince with just one look."
"Queen Xi, you can't do this to us."
Sylvanas frowned. These adventurers hanging around her all day really gave him a headache. If they weren't useful in battles, they should have been taught a lesson.
——————
The defeat of the cavalry confrontation caused the tribe to lose the initiative in this battle.
The infantry's offensive was constantly flanked by cavalry, resulting in huge troop losses. In order to maintain the offensive.
At about one o'clock in the afternoon, the last reserve force of the orcs was thrown into the battlefield.
In order to increase the strength of the troops, even those adventurers who did not receive much attention were gathered and sent to the battlefield en masse.
The corpses of both sides were spread all the way from Broken Spear Ridge to Thorn Fortress.
"Hold it! Hold it!"
"For the tribe!"
"Come on, we can't fight anymore, withdraw."
After all, the adventurers of the tribe still have one year of leveling time difference with the adventurers of the alliance. Even if they are given experience BUFF after the opening, there is still a lot of difference in level.
At this time, the frontal battlefield was completely suppressed and beaten, and it was only the passion that kept them from being defeated.
"Kill, kill!" Urg Wildblade roared and waved his battle ax. His warlord, Big Brother, was waving the battle flag and shouting at his infantry.
"Fuck, fuck me! Warsong orcs will never be slaves, fuck them all!"
"Remove the big guy!" Poison Master Jia Xu kept urging as he looked at the gradually crumbling battlefield.
"Withdraw a few troops. All my soldiers will die here. I will die here too today."
"Your account costs hundreds of thousands. If you die, it will all be over."
"A few hundred thousand is just a few hundred thousand. I don't think I have any money. If I don't fight for steamed buns today, I won't believe it!"
Now that the battle has reached this point, the players have begun to take offense and no longer care about conserving their strength.
Rumble! The sound of horse hooves sounded from the right side, and groups of Alliance cavalry came over aggressively.
The big guy's eyes immediately turned red when he saw it.
"Fuck, it's the Alliance cavalry again. Where are the Horde cavalry? Where are they all dead?"
Woohoo!
The trumpet for withdrawal suddenly sounded.
The big guy was so angry that he threw down his battle flag, but he could only start to retreat.
The noisy orcs were crowded and jostled, and once they lost their offensive momentum, the formation immediately collapsed.
Fortunately, the orcs' spell-casting unit supervision was still intact, and the shamans on the hilltop used a lightning storm to cover the infantry's retreat.
