Lord Harland.

Chapter 216 Annihilation War 1

Durham dispatched troops and generals, rectified the formation, and rushed out of the camp with the orcs.

He led the battle with the kobolds, the tauren in the middle, and the quilboar behind.The werewolf cavalry were cruising outside, and the snake-body professionals served as a reserve team, appearing at the most critical time.

Seeing the orcs walking out of the camp, Richard immediately ordered the trebuchet to lighten the counterweight and adjust the range to four hundred meters.

Durham waved his hand violently, and the orc army advanced quickly. His eyes were very sharp, staring at the human camp.

Durham knew in his heart that the orcs and humans competed for long-range shooting, and they were far from human opponents.

The advantage of the orcs is in close combat. Only by using their strength advantage can they defeat their opponents in battle.

Seeing that the kobold had entered the range of the alchemy bomb, Li Cha did not intend to attack his opponent.

The reserves of alchemy bombs are not enough, so they can only be used to strike high-value targets. Li Cha has asked the auxiliary soldiers operating the trebuchet to focus on the snake-body man.

As long as the snake appears on the battlefield, the alchemy bomb will greet the snake.

The kobolds advanced very quickly and entered the range of the archers in about three minutes.

In Harland's territory, every veteran practices archery, and there are many sharpshooters. There were more than 2,000 soldiers equipped with bows and arrows, accounting for almost half of them.

These veterans have been in the army for many years, and they all wear steel armor.

Those who can use bows and arrows are good in the army. Because of the military skills, archery is the most difficult to practice. The spear skills and sword skills used in actual combat are not really fancy. They often only have a few moves. It is not very difficult to master and you can get started in a few months.

Unless the level of archery is very talented, it usually takes many years to train a qualified archer.

According to Li Cha's experience, soldiers who can practice archery well are not only powerful, but also have a solid foundation in breathing techniques, and they are also good at using other weapons.

It takes about five or six years to train a third-level archery expert.

The arrows struck the kobolds with a sharp whistling sound, and several kobold squadrons were immediately covered by the rain of arrows.

Seeing the rain of arrows coming, the kobolds quickly raised their shields.

But the strong bow and crossbow, the kobold's thin wooden shield can't stop it at all.

The kobold squadron leader's eyes froze, hot blood spattered his face, and his ears were suddenly filled with screams that pierced his eardrums.

The white light in front of him quickly passed by him. In the blink of an eye, many of the soldiers he commanded had fallen down due to arrows, leaving a large gap in the formation.

"shoot!"

Before the kobold squadron leader could react, the second round of arrows had been fired. The dense arrows were like falling raindrops, with an arc of death, hitting the kobold forward again.

This time the kobold squadron leader was unlucky and was shot into pieces by seven or eight arrows.

Immediately after the third and fourth rounds, after six consecutive rounds of arrow rain, more than half of the three kobold squadrons leading the battle had suffered casualties.

Although the orcs could bear more casualties, such a miserable scene still exceeded the limit of the kobold squadron.

The fear of death was hitting the nerves of the kobolds all the time. Seeing another round of arrows coming, the kobold forwards finally couldn't hold on any longer. They shouted wildly and retreated in unison, but were stopped by the second echelon of tauren. stop.

The orcs' military laws were harsh, and the tauren were not polite to the kobolds' defeat, and immediately arrested them and executed them.

When Duram saw this scene, he immediately had a bad thought in his heart. He had participated in many wars, and Duram was still shocked by such swift and powerful long-range attack power.

Durham had only seen so many sharp archers in the backbone brigade of the main human army. He really couldn't understand why there were such elite soldiers under the command of a small viscount.

Durham didn't understand at all that the military strength of Harland's territory had been established for nine years.

In the past nine years, Li Cha has been in the army intermittently, investing millions of gold coins in resources.In the past nine years, this army has not suffered major losses and has been developing benignly.

Nowadays, the combat effectiveness of several main infantry squadrons in Harland's territory is second only to the Warcraft Cavalry, and is far superior to ordinary infantry squadrons.

Although the number is small, it can indeed be called an elite force.

The first echelon of kobolds collapsed, and the second echelon of tauren rushed forward.

The cold arrows shot out continuously, there was a whistling sound in the air, and black spots fell from the sky all over the sky. The Tauren hurriedly raised his large shield to protect his body firmly.

The tauren is powerful, and the shield they hold is very sophisticated. The outer layer is covered with wrought iron, the inner layer is six to seven centimeters of elm wood, and the innermost layer has a leather-lined grip.Unless the bow is enchanted, it will have the kinetic energy to penetrate this heavy shield.

Harland's territory has hunted many high-level monsters, and it can also produce some blood steel. Over the years, it has accumulated hundreds of enchanted crossbows.

These enchanted crossbow users are all master archers. Their archery skills have generally reached the third level, and seven or eight people have even reached the fourth level.

The third-level archer is already one of the best in a hundred. The arrows almost never miss the mark and the arrows bite the flesh.

The fourth-level archery skills are even better than others, and can hit a swinging willow branch from a distance of 300 meters. Even the eagle in the sky cannot avoid this terrifying archery technique and can be shot down easily.

These more than a hundred sharp archers are almost the backbone of Harland's territory.

More than a hundred sharp archers used enchanted crossbows, and each round of shooting caused heavy casualties to the orcs, with about a hundred people killed or injured.

Even though the orc held a shield and put on armor, he still couldn't withstand the damage from the enchanted crossbow for too long.

Seeing that the casualties had increased, the Tauren sped up their speed. After suffering a lot of casualties and entering the range, they used slings one after another to throw stones at the human army formation.

The tauren is very powerful, and the stones thrown by the sling are not small.

But throwing stones is far less accurate than shooting arrows. This exchange ratio is very disadvantageous.

In order to avoid greater casualties, the tauren could only continue to speed up their pace and fight close combat with human soldiers.

After five to six hundred casualties, only about half of the more than a thousand tauren in six squadrons remained.

At this moment, the distance between the two sides is only a dozen meters.

"go ahead."

The tauren commander pulled out his command sword, yelled wildly and slammed into the first group.

Seeing the orcs rushing to the front of the formation, the soldiers could even see the hot breath exhaled by the orcs. The veterans of the first group were not confused at all, and fired the last round of arrows almost right in the face of the orcs.

The lethality of face-to-face shooting is extremely strong. This round of feather arrows almost killed the orc who rushed to the front, and opened a big gap in the orc formation.

After shooting the last round of feathered arrows, the veterans inserted the enchanted bows and crossbows on the ground, drew out the enchanted long swords at their waists, and took the initiative to block in front.

All the sharp archers in the territory are wearing enchanted armor.Many people wore brute force armor and launched brute force techniques one after another.

Seeing that the orcs were about to charge up, the mages of the mage group shot one after another.

In this battle, the entire Harland Mage Association was dispatched. Junior apprentices participated in the treatment team, and mid- and high-level apprentices followed the magicians and were responsible for releasing spells.

In an instant, more than twenty spells were released.

These spells include attack spells and control spells.

In an instant, fifty or sixty orcs were killed and wounded, and more than a hundred tauren were restrained.

In war, once movement is restricted, it is impossible to survive.The orcs who were restricted by the spider web and greasy skills immediately died under the swords and arrows.

The second echelon suffered heavy casualties, and the third echelon of wild boars had already killed them.

The reason why the orcs rushed up echelon by echelon was to use the refueling tactic.

The main reason is that the camp built by Richard is small in scale and there are too many soldiers to move around. The soldiers in front will block the attack route of the soldiers behind, and crowding together will easily become the target of archers.

The quilboar charged very quickly and quickly filled the gap left by the tauren.

Seeing that the mage group was so lethal, Durham decided to bring his own soldiers to attack the human mage group.

Li Cha observed the battlefield, but never made a move.Seeing Durham attacking fiercely, Li Cha held the lightning staff, invested ten points of mental power, and used the powerful four-ring magic lightning technique.

Ten points of spiritual power, the power of the powerful lightning technique is not weaker than that of high-level magic, and with the blessing of the lightning staff, the power of this magic is slightly higher than that of the nine-ring magic.

The lightning spell is not only powerful in destructive power, but also attacks quickly.

Durham was hit by this spell before he could dodge in time, and his blood surged and his body became numb.

If it weren't for his high magic resistance, this spell would have killed him.

Although he survived the powerful lightning spell, Duram's chest was already scorched and smelly, and even his internal organs were almost cooked by the powerful electric current.

Seeing that Durham was severely injured, the orc shaman hastily released a healing spell.

The powerful life energy entered the body, and Duram finally escaped. Seeing Richard raising the lightning staff again, Duram's scalp went numb and he immediately hid behind the guard.

The two sides began to engage in hand-to-hand combat, and the snake-body professionals also organized their formations and prepared to enter the battle.

Although the snake-body professional army is powerful, its weakness is very obvious. It moves slowly and cannot catch up with human elite soldiers, so it is easy to be restrained in a targeted manner.

It is difficult for such an army to fight independently. If the Snake Squadron were to fight against the No. Squadron of the Harland Territory, the No. Squadron could easily use the kite-flying tactic to kill all the Snake Squadrons.

Even Thoros alone, riding an iron horned horse and holding an enchanted bow, can easily defeat his opponent.

Therefore, due to its obvious weakness, the Snake Squadron has no independent combat capability and can only cooperate with the main force of the Orcs.

Although the weakness is obvious, the snake body is very strong in melee combat, and Li Cha dare not let the snake body break into the battle at all.

Once in close combat with the snake body, the casualties are difficult to control.

Even if the elite infantry of the No. Squadron were to fight hand-to-hand with the Snake Professionals of the same squadron, the casualties would be too heavy for Li Cha to bear.

So immediately a military order was passed down, asking the auxiliary soldiers to launch alchemy bombs.
