Chapter 232 Dilemma
The sky was getting darker and darker, and the two armies were already fighting together.

The last rays of the setting sun reflected the blood-red earth, and the whole world was immersed in blood.

The heavy infantry successfully broke into the orc formation, and their superiority in equipment was fully demonstrated at this time.

Human heavy infantry in full armor, against orc soldiers with no upper body armor, was not a fair match from the beginning.

The army formation was torn apart, the orc soldiers in the front were squeezed and retreated steadily, but the two wings stood out instead.

Realizing that something was wrong with Balazs, he hurriedly ordered a change of formation.It's a pity that the idea is full, but the reality is skinny.

It is not easy for multiple races to fight together and form an army formation.It would be too embarrassing for the beast to freely change the formation.

The order of "changing the formation" not only failed to reverse the situation, but instead caused confusion in the formations on both wings.

Especially in places where different races converge, a lot of jokes have been made.At this moment, many orc soldiers couldn't tell the difference between east, west and north, and they became headless flies scurrying around on the field.

Seeing this scene, Balazs almost vomited blood with anger.It was really shocking. Even though he knew that the orc army was useless, he never thought it would be so bad.

The weapons and equipment are not as good as the human race, which is determined by productivity.

The limited armor is on the soldiers of the five royal families. Even if there are surplus armor piled up in the warehouse to eat dirt, it is impossible to equip them.

This is a matter of principle.Once the vassal race grows bigger, it will be a matter of minutes to turn the customer into the main.

From the standpoint of the orc royal family, they can lose to humans, and they can't let the vassal races grow bigger.

What loses to humans is the overlord of the continent, and they can still enjoy a corner; the vassal races grow bigger, but they are shaking the foundation of their existence.

Years of exploitation and exploitation, the accumulated conflicts between the orc royal family and various races in the country are not necessarily lower than the hatred between orcs and humans.

In the eyes of humans, all orcs are one.But in the eyes of the orcs, only their own race is considered their own, and the orcs of other races are competitors.

"Army attack!"

Balaz ordered with a slight hesitation.

Actively looking for a decisive battle with the expeditionary force was not in his plan.

But the plan can't keep up with the rapid changes. If the elite of the expeditionary force are allowed to play, their army formation will be destroyed sooner or later.

Instead of being beaten passively, it is better to attack from the master and slave, and drag all the soldiers of the expeditionary army into the water.

His rich life experience told him that the Alpha Kingdom was not generous enough to send 10,000+ elite reinforcements to the Principality of Moxi.

As long as they are not elites, the difference in combat power between everyone will not be too great.Only large-scale melee can maximize their military advantage.

Anyway, it's getting dark soon, and when night falls, let's start a big fight together!
"Cavalry Legion attack, target the enemy's flanks!"

Hudson ordered decisively.

By choosing to fight at this time, he was mentally prepared to fight in the dark.

For ordinary troops, fighting in the dark of night is a disaster.

But the expeditionary army was different. It seemed to be an elite army, but in fact the proportion of elite soldiers was less than [-]%.

The pseudo-elites mixed in with the orc army were easily intimidated by the cruel battle.

On the contrary, with the cover of night, the line of sight only stays within a limited range, which is more conducive to their performance.

As long as you can't see the situation of your comrades in the distance, the morale of the army will not collapse.After killing a few orcs, maybe the morale of the army will be even higher.

However, this kind of gameplay is only suitable for troops with high morale.If an army is distracted, it will only collapse faster in the dark.

After all, fighting in the dark night, in addition to the strength of the two sides, the more important thing is the collision of people's hearts.

Hudson is betting that the morale of the expeditionary army is higher than that of the orc army.

The two armies chose to attack at the same time, and the shouts of killing resounded throughout the world. The first thing that broke out was an actual combat exercise of cavalry and shooting tactics.

Countless arrows rushed towards the orc army like a tide.

After the three rounds of cavalry shooting, not only did the cavalry not choose to charge, but they retreated tens of meters before returning to their previous actions.

There is no best tactic, only the most suitable tactic.An army of orcs without any armor is the best living target on the battlefield.

The specific results of the battle, the chaotic scene is really impossible to count, the only thing that is certain is: the orc army under the rain of arrows, the morale of the army is constantly being worn down.

The candy-like gameplay made Balazs mentally collapse.It was so shameless that instead of charging, the cavalry played with bows and arrows.

This is the first time you encounter such a shameless enemy, how can you think of a countermeasure in a short while?

What's more, the army has already launched a charge, and it can't be stopped at all if it wants to.Any untimely order may lead to a major defeat.

Even knowing that it would cost a lot to continue like this, Balazs could only grit his teeth and stand firm.

What was even more broken were the orc soldiers on the two wings, advancing against the enemy's rain of arrows, they couldn't do it if their hearts were not strong enough.

It's a pity that being pushed forward by the rear army, they couldn't stop at all, and they could only grit their teeth and hold on.

For a moment, the screams resounded in all directions, even on the city wall, they could be heard clearly.

Because of the light, it is impossible to overlook the entire battlefield from the tower at this moment.Earl Martins commanded the army purely by feeling.

Looking at the successive magical lighting equipment, Earl Martins knew that it was time to attack, and if it was later, the expeditionary army outside would be scolded.

Now is not the time to cheat teammates. In the next battle, the Principality of Moxi still needs the expeditionary force to continue to contribute.

"The order is passed down, and the light shines on the camp of the orc army ahead. The [-]st, [-]rd legions of the garrison attack, and the expeditionary army flanks the orc army back and forth!
The light magician moved with the army, waiting for the opportunity to cast lighting spells on the camp of the orc army, and brought all the lighting scrolls, half of the powerful attack scrolls..."

With an order, countless lights flashed instantly.I don't know who invented it, but also specially put a reflective shell on the magic lamp, so that the light can shine forward as much as possible.

A group of alchemists created by magicians immediately set up an incomprehensible magic circle on the stage, and the light from countless lamps directly gathered together.

The city wall that was originally illuminated by the magic lamps dimmed again, and all the lights were moved above the orc army.It was like the sun falling from the sky, illuminating the camp like daytime.

The sudden scene made the orc soldiers very uncomfortable.The dazzling light illuminated the way forward for them, but it also exposed their figures.

The target was found again, and the crossbow arrows and magic crystal cannons on the city tower rang out again.The defenders who rushed out of the city were sent a wave of magic rain first.

Countless scrolls flew all over the sky, tearing apart the formation of the orc army in an instant.Before the first-line orc officer ordered to block the gap, the army rushed in along the torn hole.

After seeing the offensive of Moxi's army, Balazs was so angry that he swears directly.It's really bullying. The expeditionary army only relies on the strength of armor and weapons, but the Moxi people directly use magic methods.

This kind of attack regardless of cost, no matter how powerful the orc army is, it can't stand it.

A round of magic rain came down and immediately cleared an open space. Any resistance in the face of extraordinary power seemed powerless.

The chaos has already begun, but the scene of the battle was somewhat beyond Balaz's expectations.In the face of magic alchemy technology, his past experience has gone to an extreme that he has never heard of.

At this moment, the cover brought by the night belongs only to the enemy, and they still enjoy the "day" brought by the light.

"Pass down the order to let the masters accompanying the army destroy the magic lamps on the enemy's towers. They must not keep lighting them up!"

In a panic, Balazs hastily ordered.

Countless figures flew out of the army and headed straight for the city wall.It's a pity that this order was obviously too late. The figures of these people had just sprang out, and they had exposed themselves.

Countless crossbow arrows shot directly at them, and the master who managed to break through the rain of arrows from the army was intercepted by Moxi's master before reaching the city wall.

It was destined to be a low-cost battle. The magic means on the city wall could not be destroyed, but the orc masters who rushed out suffered heavy losses.

Hudson, who commanded the battle from afar, witnessed the massacre brought about by the unequal technology with his own eyes, and was greatly shocked in his heart.

Magic can still be used like this, and he has learned it this time.Sure enough, human potential is forced out.

The sudden outburst of the Mosi made Hudson re-acquainted with this unreliable ally.

Originally, Hudson was going to hit the morale of the orcs first, and then use the chaos in the night to slowly lead the orc army to collapse.

Now it seems that there is no need to be so troublesome.Facing the front and back attacks of the expeditionary army and the defenders, it was only a matter of time before the orc army collapsed.

The morale of the orc army that was put together was not very high, and it was worn down by Hudson for a while, and now they witnessed the collapse of their companions, and the blow to the morale of the army was absolutely fatal.

I don't know who took the lead, the orc army gathered together, suddenly someone broke away from the army from the two wings.

For a melee of tens of thousands of people, the appearance of a few deserters is nothing, but the impact of these three or five deserters is huge.

"Supervisor team, hurry up and hunt down the deserters!"

As soon as Balazs' order was issued, he realized that the situation was not good.At this time, the supervisor team left and fell into the eyes of ordinary soldiers, who could easily be regarded as runaway soldiers.

It seems that he is chasing and killing deserters, but unfortunately he acts as the "leader" in essence, causing more followers to run away.

Killing doesn't make any sense.Cannibalism has long been commonplace in the orc empire.

As long as they are not from the same tribe, they are all competitors; if they are not even of the same race, they are even more "mortal enemies".

In the resource-poor orc empire, if the orcs want to live better, they can only rely on fighting and winning.

Since it is an enemy, it is natural to attack if there is a chance.If it weren't for the constraints of military law, civil wars would have broken out among the tribes.

"Send the order, let the soldiers who besiege the city rush over and join the battle!"

Balazs ordered again.

In times of crisis, he no longer cared about the constraints of military orders.Violating the military order will certainly cause blood mold, but you can also look forward to the "conscience" of the coach.

Although this thing is a rare item in the upper echelons of the Orc Empire, there may still be exceptions occasionally.

If you lose the battle, not only will you die.The whole family, even the tribe they belong to, will be unlucky together.

It's a pity that everything is in vain. When the collapse comes, no matter how many troops there are, the end will be the same.

In essence, war is fought with strength and morale.There is no absolute strength to crush opponents, and the morale of the army is the key to determining the outcome of a game.

The morale of the expeditionary army was high, and the Moxi people who were besieged in the isolated city fought with their backs. These were not comparable to the orc army.

Seeing the orc army fleeing in all directions, Hudson not only did not order to intercept, but restrained the cavalry's offensive and let them leave on purpose.

Of the more than 30 orc army, less than one-tenth of them were wiped out in the battle just now.If you want to rely on the expeditionary force to hunt down, even if you kill until dawn, you won't be able to kill many.

The best way is to guide the enemy to kill each other.It is not extravagant to expect how many orcs will die in the internal fighting, as long as the hatred among the tribes is stirred up, this army will be abolished.

As for the local disasters caused by letting the orc army collapse, Hudson believed that the Moxi nobles everywhere could solve it.

If they can't even solve the scattered broken soldiers, it proves that they are weak and deserve to be eliminated by this era.

……

Outside Fort Allente, in the Beamon army camp, Prince Butzweig, who had just received the news of the outbreak of the war, was taken aback.

The enemy actually went against common sense and chose to attack overnight, making it clear that he would not give him a chance to come back.

Whether or not to rush back to join the war starry night is a tangled issue.

Although the Beamon Cavalry Legion is elite, it has already exhausted a lot of physical strength in the daytime battles, and if it has traveled more than 200 miles all the way, I am afraid that when it reaches the place, [-]% of its strength will be left at most half.

Leading tired soldiers to the battlefield is a taboo in military affairs.If you are not careful, you will suffer a big loss.

But without sending troops for reinforcements, Prince Butzweig had no idea.The army of orcs who besieged the city of Dapace were all bait selected by the five imperial courts, or abandoned children.

The combat effectiveness of troops that can be easily abandoned is somewhat self-evident.If they really have strength, even if they want to eliminate dissidents, they will make their death more valuable.

Vaguely, Prince Butzweig found himself in a "dilemma", unable to advance or retreat for a while.

"Pass down the order, let the Yingman scouts dispatch immediately, contact the reinforcements of the major imperial courts, and urge them to rush to the battlefield as soon as possible!"

It's getting late tonight, it's better to leave tomorrow morning.After all, there was an army of 30, and Prince Butzweig did not believe that he would not be able to hold on overnight.
