“Drive, drive”
Weilu led thousands of Jingbei Army cavalry around the ogre’s loose camp several times but did not find a suitable opportunity.
If the opponent was a human army, this kind of unorganized camp full of flaws might have been something Weiru couldn’t help but seize and led his army to charge forward.
But the ogres are different. The ogres on the periphery are holding two-meter-long thick wooden stakes with their sharpened ends facing the cavalry of the Jingbei Army. Several ogres over two meters tall standing there holding large wooden stakes may be more effective than blocking the horses.
After all, Juma cannot move, but these ogres can still move.
If the cavalry rushed up and hit those sharp and thick wooden stakes, it would be so sour and exciting just thinking about it. Weilu didn’t want to try anything with the precious cavalry in his hand.
After tentatively approaching and firing a few rounds of arrows, Weilu led the cavalry and turned back amidst the roar of the ogres. The effect of several rounds of arrow rain was not good, and the ogres themselves were With thick skin,
It is difficult for ordinary arrows to cause any substantial damage to them.
Only a few knights in the army killed a few ogres with arrows shot from strong bows, but they did not cause any substantial damage to the ogres.
What makes Weiru even more uneasy is that among the ogres, there are actually special shield bearers who raised large shields to defend themselves when they fired arrows, although those large shields were made of several pieces of wood haphazardly spliced together. It’s a low-quality product, but it’s heavy and thick, and its defensive capabilities are really amazing.
In the past, they only used a few wooden stakes, but the ogres who embedded some metal into the wooden stakes to make maces used them, actually imitated humans and started to use shields, horses and other objects. The ogres The demons are learning, which is not a good sign.
Looking at the Jingbei Army’s cavalry turning back, the ogres did nothing more than roar. Although they were a little stubborn, they knew they still couldn’t outrun the four-legged horses.
After Weilu led the cavalry back, they did not retreat to the camp. Instead, they hung in the distance and wandered on the flanks of the battlefield, looking for opportunities to cut in at any time.
It must be said that Weilu is indeed a qualified cavalry general. The most powerful thing about the cavalry is its short-distance maneuverability and powerful impact.
It is absolutely foolish to directly use cavalry to collide with the waiting infantry team.
Weilu is waiting for an opportunity. As long as the Jingbei Army and the ogres engage in battle, the cavalry will naturally find opportunities to loosen their formation.
Marquis Wade did not disappoint Weiru, and quickly ordered the Jingbei Army to launch a tentative attack.
“Horn, take the First Flag Regiment up there and give it a try, and decide what’s right for you.”
“Yes, sir.”
The Jingbei Army has a military structure of 500 men, and they are generally staffed by peak quasi-knights or officers who have just entered the knight rank.
The ten capitals are a flag regiment, and the flag regiment leaders are all peak knights. The four flag regiments are a legion, and the legion leaders are all high knights.
The Jingbei Army has five legions and a cavalry flag regiment. This time Marquis Wade brought four legions.
The First Flag Regiment under Horn’s jurisdiction is affiliated with the First Regiment of the Jingbei Army and is a well-deserved ace flag regiment. There are also quasi-knights serving as commanders in other flag regiments.
The ten members of the First Flag Regiment are all knights, and the proportion of quasi-knights is also frighteningly high.
Such a strong army was naturally arranged by Marquis Wade to take the lead. The troops that can fight must be used, and there is no point in hiding the troops and not using them.
“Huh, ha”
The soldiers of the First Flag Regiment, led by Horn, shouted slogans and marched in neat steps towards the ogres.
The swords of the soldiers in the front row made a neat metallic crisp sound against their shields, creating a sense of oppression.
At this time, the ogres also reacted to the actions of the First Flag Regiment. Nearly 500 ogres separated from the ogre camp, and ten times the number of kobolds came out to greet them.
Compared with the uniformity of the Jingbei Army, the ogres seemed a bit chaotic, and most of them rushed out with wooden stakes in their hands.
The kobolds were even worse. If the ogres were able to maintain a certain formation, the kobolds just formed a bunch and rushed out.
They did not dare to squeeze the ogre team, so they huddled with their own people. They trampled several teammates to death before they could engage with the First Flag Regiment along the way.
Although the formation and discipline of the ogres are not good, they cannot stand up to their strong individual strength. Let alone a group of free kobolds, these 500 ogre warriors are actually 500 quasi-knights, or The stronger one among the quasi-knights.
The entire First Flag Regiment’s quasi-knights totaled only over fifty people.
If a fight breaks out, the First Flag Regiment may suffer a loss,
Horn naturally saw this situation clearly, but the military orders were overwhelming. Without Marquis Wade’s instructions, he did not dare to retreat at all. The First Flag Regiment still bravely faced them.
Fortunately, Marquis Wade also noticed this. This ogre is a bit strange. It used nearly one-third of its military strength in the first trial. This is a posture for a direct decisive battle.
“Wright!”
“Here!”
“You bring the first legion up to support.”
“Second and Third Corps are ready to respond.”
The situation on the battlefield was changing rapidly. Marquis Wade did not have time to think about the weirdness of the ogres, and first made the most satisfactory deployment. If there was a decisive battle, the Jingbei Army would not be afraid.
“Eighty steps, fifty steps, let go!”
Ahead, Horn’s First Flag Regiment had marched fifty steps ahead of the ogres, and he had even smelled the disgusting odor of the ogres.
As a servant army, the kobolds began to grin at the soldiers of the First Flag Regiment. Although the kobolds are not strong in combat, they are really fearless in fighting and are not afraid of death. It will also cause a lot of trouble to the Jingbei Army.
However, the fastest group of kobolds were instantly knocked down by the Jingbei Army’s arrows. Horn knew that ordinary arrows would hardly cause much damage to the ogres, so it was better to change the target of the attack to kobolds. People should be more practical.
There were first bursts of canine wails on the battlefield. Many kobolds who were not killed by arrows lay in the middle of the battlefield struggling and wailing, but soon they lost their voice.
The ogres and kobolds in the back row stepped over them mercilessly, completely relieving their pain.
“Gun!”
“Ha!”
As the ace force of the Jingbei Army, the First Flag Regiment changed its formation quickly. The archers quickly retreated into the formation after the ogres approached, and the spearmen quickly took over their positions in the front row.
The spear points pointed forward neatly, and even in order to increase the lethality of the first round, the spearmen of the First Flag Regiment rushed forward a few steps to increase the penetration power of the spears.
“Bang!”
Just like waves hitting the rocks, the two sides collided hard, causing splashing waves in an instant. The kobolds were pierced on the spears like candied haws, and some ogres even had no time to wave the wooden stakes to block the spears. The body was pierced by a spear with huge impact.
Some soldiers of the First Flag Regiment were hit hard by the wooden stakes in the hands of the ogres and flew sideways. In the face of this absolute power, the wooden stakes in the hands of the ogres would be killed or disabled if they touched it. They are so powerful. The ogres put tremendous pressure on the First Flag Regiment the moment they engaged in battle.
