Lord Harland.
Chapter 218 Annihilation War 3
Li Cha led the soldiers and appeared directly behind the orc camp, causing chaos in the orc camp.
In the battle the day before yesterday, Richard released many powerful spells, and more than half of his magic power had been consumed.
Now, a day and a half later, the magic power has not been restored to full.
Now that a surprise attack was launched, Richard did not use magic, but drew the bowstring.
He poured battle energy into the enchanted arrow, and the enchanted arrow burst out with a white light, and shot at a third-rank orc officer.
The arrow made a sharp whistling sound and passed through the throat of the third-level tauren.
It was too late to wait for the orc shaman to heal, and the leader of the third-tier tauren squadron died on the spot.
The tauren squadron leader was killed, and the orc soldiers under his command immediately fell into chaos. The orcs panicked, yelling for their companions, and while sounding the alarm, they reluctantly fought against the human army.
For the sake of speed, Li Cha did not carry a heavy trebuchet.
Their attack was so sudden that the orcs never expected that human soldiers would appear from behind them.
When scouting, the harpies were basically to the south. There is not much preparation for our own retreat, there are only a small number of werewolf scouts, and the detection range is only a dozen kilometers away.
As a result, these werewolf scouts were all killed by scouts from Harland's territory.
By the time the orcs realized something was wrong, Li Cha and his army were already less than one kilometer away from the orc camp.
The distance of one kilometer is almost instantaneous for the Warcraft Cavalry Brigade.
When the Warcraft Cavalry charges, it can cover a kilometer in two to three minutes.
Richard did not let the precious Warcraft cavalry charge directly into the formation, but led the infantry to attack the Orc defense line.
The orcs were not good at long-range combat, and the trebuchets were all aimed in the direction of Gravessen Castle. It was very difficult to turn a large trebuchet, and it couldn't be done in a few minutes.
Even if he charges with infantry, Richard has some chance of defeating the orcs.
The time on the battlefield passed extremely quickly. In just a few minutes, Li Cha led the soldiers from Harland's territory and broke into the orc defense line.
The orc army, which lost its commander, couldn't resist the onslaught of Harland's army, and after holding on for a while, it collapsed completely.
The orc squadron patrolling the camp collapsed without resisting for too long, allowing the Harland Territory army to quickly approach the orc camp.
Richard stopped thirty meters away from the orc camp, and then directed the soldiers to shoot arrows one after another.
The rain of arrows kept falling into the orc camps, and many orcs had not yet organized themselves, and were shot and killed by arrows as soon as they walked out of the camp.
"Light the brazier, shoot the rocket, shoot the rocket!"
The junior officers kept shouting commands, and soon the soldiers of Harland Territory lit the brazier, and the archers fired rockets one after another.
The rockets hit the tents and wooden stakes, immediately setting the orc camp on fire.
Thick smoke rose from the orc camp, and a raging fire burned instantly, spreading across a large area in a short time. .
Being attacked suddenly by Li Cha, the orcs couldn't react at all, and many soldiers were killed and injured immediately.
The orc commander suppressed the panic in his heart, and immediately organized his guard squadron. Although the situation was very serious, he still gritted his teeth and rushed out of the camp, hoping to contain Harland's territorial army and drive away the soldiers led by Richard. farther away.
"Grenadier, throw alchemy bombs, don't let the enemy organize, take advantage of the chaos to kill the enemy as much as possible."
Seeing that the orc guard squadron had entered the range, under the command of the grassroots officers, the grenadiers dropped dozens of alchemy bombs one after another.
Dozens of alchemy bombs exploded in the Orc Guard Squadron. The grenadiers' accuracy was excellent, and a burst of gunpowder smoke passed. Most of the Orc Guard Squadron had been killed and injured, and there were few intact soldiers.
Then the archers shot arrows one after another, killing some of the surviving orcs.
Although the orc commander made efforts, hoping to bring the battle back, unfortunately there were too few organized soldiers, and the guard squadron was wiped out before they could rush to the soldiers in Harland's territory for hand-to-hand combat.
In just a few minutes after the surprise attack was launched, the orcs had already lost hundreds of soldiers. Two squadrons were completely wiped out, and many soldiers were shot and burned to death.
The total number of Graveson's orc army was only four thousand, and one-tenth was lost in such a short period of time.
Seeing how ferocious the soldiers in Harland's territory were, the orcs didn't dare to send a small number of soldiers to drive them away.
The orc officers kept shouting in the camp, organizing teams of orcs, and preparing to gather a large number of troops to fight the enemy.
After Li Cha led the troops to launch the attack, Viscount Roman, who was stationed at Graveson Castle, reacted very quickly, and immediately assembled his troops to cooperate with Li Cha to launch the encirclement and annihilation battle.
After realizing that the war was unfavorable and that the flames in the camp were difficult to extinguish, the orc commander ordered the troops to set up an isolation zone and ordered the trebuchet troops to tighten the winches as quickly as possible, load stone bombs, and use trebuchets to block Luomen leaving the city. Viscount, killed and wounded the defenders of Graveson Castle.
Then he ordered the Snakes and Harpys to assemble and attack the army from Harland's territory. They played almost all their cards, hoping to reduce the pressure on the camp and buy time for themselves to organize soldiers.
The stone bullets kept falling, and two hundred catties of stone bullets fell from the sky, even high-level professionals did not dare to take it hard.
Fortunately, the orcs do not know how to calculate ballistics, and are not proficient in classical mechanics and ballistics. The accuracy of throwing is very poor, and the speed is also very slow.
Although the counterweight trebuchets are powerful and can throw stone projectiles weighing 200 kilograms, they also have obvious weaknesses. Their range is almost fixed. Even if the range is roughly changed by adjusting the winch and lever arm, there is no way to attack the target. enemies that are too close.
It has been six years since the counterweight trebuchet appeared in the war. As the first country to use the counterweight trebuchet, the Kingdom of Grant is well aware of the advantages and disadvantages of this weapon.
Seeing that a few rounds of stone bullets had caused more than a dozen casualties, Viscount Luomen kept urging the soldiers to speed up. After several rounds of stone bullets, although more than a hundred soldiers were killed, Viscount Luomen and the noble coalition also rushed through. reached the limit of the trebuchet's range.
Seeing that Viscount Roman and his soldiers were less than meters away from the camp.The orc commander immediately ordered that some personnel be sent out to resist Viscount Roman.
Viscount Roman seized the opportunity and cooperated very well with the soldiers in Harland's territory.
The appearance of the defenders of Graveson Castle undoubtedly relieved the pressure on the troops in Harland's domain.
As soon as the eighty snake-like people were organized, the Warcraft Cavalry came around from the side and behind, controlled the iron horned horses and fired a hundred magic missiles at the snake-like people's formation.
Although the magic missile is a ring of magic, it can't kill the snake body with one or two shots.However, one hundred magic missiles hit the formation of snake-bodied people, causing more than twenty snake-body people to lose their staff.
With such dense magic missiles, the snake man had no place to dodge.
After shooting a round of magic missiles, the Warcraft cavalry opened their bows and arrows, and fired a round of feather arrows at the snake-shaped man.
Warcraft cavalry are good at attacking fortifications, they are fast, and the iron horned horses on their mounts have a certain amount of magical lethality, which is very restrained against the army of snake-body professionals.
Although the Snake Man has strong close combat capabilities, he can also spray venom, and his mid-range lethality is also quite impressive. But he is very afraid of this fast and powerful opponent.
The Warcraft Cavalry bypassed the Snakehead array, and the first round of strikes resulted in the loss of more than thirty Snakeheads.
The snake-shaped man was determined to catch up with the Warcraft Cavalry, but his speed was too slow and he couldn't catch up with the Iron Horned Horse.
If the monster cavalry were left alone, the monster cavalry would still attack the snake-body man's back when the snake-body man fought against the human infantry, and the snake-body man became in a dilemma for a while.
After discovering that there were Warcraft Cavalry in Harland Territory, the serpentine commander could only bite the bullet and hope to rush through the distance and engage in close combat with the soldiers in Harland Territory.
Once the two sides start fighting in hand-to-hand combat, in order to avoid hurting their own people, the threat of the Warcraft Cavalry to the Snakemen will be much weakened.
On the Gravessen battlefield, the soldiers of Harland's territory joined hands with Viscount Roman, and their combat effectiveness far exceeded the two orc brigades.
Moreover, Li Cha also has monster cavalry under his command, and the soldiers are also equipped with a large number of enchanted armor and alchemy bombs.
Unless the orcs send surprise soldiers, it is possible to regain some disadvantages.
But it was Richard who made the surprise attack. He took the soldiers from Harland Territory by surprise and killed hundreds of orc soldiers. The fire destroyed the orc camp, and the orcs were attacked from both sides, making it difficult to move.
When the situation reached this point, the orc commander weighed the pros and cons and decided to take the soldiers around him to kill the commander of the human army.
If Richard can be killed and the soldiers in Harland's territory collapse, there is still hope of winning this battle.
Unlike the Durham killed by Richard, the orc commander in Gravesen's direction is only sixth rank, and his official title is only a senior captain, and his status is equivalent to that of Richard's defeated Marurand.
He brought the orc soldiers around him and rushed towards Li Cha without hesitation.
The main forces in Harland's territory have already started fighting the orcs. The only ones protecting Richard are the guard squadron, the first reconnaissance squadron, and the territory's mage group.
Richard carefully observed the battlefield and assessed the balance of power between the two sides.
Seeing the orc commander rushing over with his own soldiers, he immediately raised the lightning staff. The magic power in his body circulated, and a large amount of magic power was poured into it. In an instant, a huge lightning bolt had condensed into shape.
With the surge of magic power, the lightning became brighter and brighter, and the busy light of magic flickered slightly.
Lightning went straight to the orc captain.
Using the lightning staff to release lightning attribute magic, the power is increased by %, while the magic power consumed is reduced by %.
Li Cha invested ten points of mental power and used the lightning staff to release the lightning spell, the power of which has surpassed the nine rings.Such a powerful lethality is equivalent to a weakened version of legendary magic.
Even the eighth-level wild boar man Durham was killed by lightning, and the sixth-level orc captain was not spared at all.
Suddenly, he was struck by a thick bolt of lightning and received a lunch box on the spot.
Li Cha led the reconnaissance squadron and the guard squadron to defeat the army led by the orc captain, successfully controlled the battlefield, cut off the orc captain's head, and hung it on a long wooden pole.
When the orc captain died, his head was hung up.
Such a tragic situation immediately defeated the will of the orc soldiers.
Seeing that the defeat was a foregone conclusion, the remaining orc officers immediately planned to retreat and break out.
As soon as the orcs withdrew, they were immediately defeated.
It is not easy to kill an orc in a frontal battle.But once the orcs escaped, they lost their organization and exposed their backs. It was quite simple to kill the orcs. As long as they shot a feathered arrow, it was possible to kill the orc officers.
Li Cha and Viscount Luomen cooperated very tacitly, and they respectively broke up a group of orcs that had been organized.After chasing orcs, they broke into the jungle, and then cleaned up the battlefield within their respective control ranges.
Because the orcs had not yet invaded the Gedda Province, and the loot was pitiful, and they only captured more than 3,000 human slaves, Richard gave Viscount Luomen a thousand.
Counting the more than 4,000 human slaves rescued from the Depot, the population of Harland Territory has increased by 6,000 after this year's war.
The orc slaves were captured, the heads of the orc professionals were cut off, the scales of the snake body were pulled out, the battlefield was cleaned, and the number of casualties was counted.
This battle was fought beautifully. The casualties of the soldiers in the Harland Territory did not exceed , and only were killed.
Viscount Luomen's allied forces were attacked by catapults, and suffered slightly more casualties, with four hundred soldiers lost.
The aristocratic coalition forces in Geda Province annihilated two brigades of orcs at the cost of 600 soldiers, cut off more than 2,700 orc heads, and captured more than 700 orc prisoners. Only the orcs who escaped from the battlefield were More than six hundred.
Counting the defeated soldiers in the military station, there were more than 10,000 orcs in the five brigades, and there were less than 3,000 survivors.
These more than three thousand orcs have been reduced to frightened birds, scattered in a large forest, and are no longer considered a hidden danger.
If there is no long-term repair, according to the morale of these orcs, it is basically impossible to fight.
After cleaning the battlefield, Li Cha took the soldiers into Gravessen Castle to rest for two days, and then returned to the territory of Harland with the spoils of war.
Taking advantage of the fact that the orcs did not have Heihe, Li Cha sent the orcs prisoners of war by boat and sent their heads to Fort Wright for credit, and reported the details of the two battles.
Today's Kingdom Roger is a veteran who has participated in many wars, and he can easily see through false reports of military exploits.
Moreover, the noble council is very strict on false reports of military exploits.
Therefore, Richard's battle report was a straightforward narrative, telling the story of the war.
In this battle, Richard led the soldiers of Harland Territory and cooperated with Viscount Luomen to annihilate five large groups of orcs in two battles. He also killed the eighth-level wild boar deputy commander Duram and the sixth-level werewolf captain. Including the merits of killing low-level orc professionals, confirmed by the Gedda Province and the statistics of the Noble Council, a total of fourteen major merits and six medium merits were achieved.
The Gerda Province had just won the battle, and the bad news came immediately. The orcs broke through the Earl of Martins again, and the main army of as many as four orcs submerged the Earl of Martins.
The new Count Martins was killed in battle, and the earldom fell again.
Even the Redemptor Legion stationed in the Earl of Martins was defeated by the orcs and lost more than half of its troops.
