Chapter 289: The collision of strategy and blood

Buzz...buzz

In an instant, the front of Qin's 2.2 million soldiers, which was ten miles long, turned into a black cloud, and millions of arrows fell from the sky. At this moment, the heavy rain was no longer enough to describe the situation in front of them.

, at this moment, it was like a black cloud pressing down on the sky. The black cloud with the aura of death fell from the sky, nailing all the orcs who didn't even have a complete leather armor on their bodies to death.

In just one encounter, nearly a hundred thousand orcs died immediately, and hundreds of thousands of orcs suffered varying degrees of injuries.

However, before they could react, a second round of arrows fell from the sky again.

The buzzing sound of the arrows piercing the air was like the chuckle of the god of death, nailing all the orcs rushing towards the place. This battlefield area of ​​​​five miles turned into a Shura hell, like a sea of ​​blood.

, there is no shortage of strong warriors among the orcs, but when you are unarmed, it is completely foolish to want to guard against this arrow that is like a dark cloud!

"Assholes! These damn humans! The pig-man army comes forward, and the tauren charge with shields!" Seeing that more than half of the million-strong cannon fodder army was killed or injured before they even reached the normal distance, the bear man as the commander suddenly shouted loudly.

As he finished speaking, the spherical pig-men jumped out of the military formation one by one, their heads covered in iron armor, and they rushed towards the direction of the Great Qin military formation.

Then, tauren holding huge square shields of five meters each walked out quickly, raising the big wooden shields in their hands high, and followed the pace of the pig men towards the shower.

The appearance of the pigmen and tauren seemed to slightly boost the morale of the orcs, and the miscellaneous troops who suffered heavy losses immediately followed their steps and rushed towards the Qin army's formation.

"First, the phalanx fires at a 30-degree angle, the second phalanx fires at a 45-degree angle, and the third phalanx fires upward at a 60-degree angle! Prepare the crossbows in the front! After entering the range, lock the fixed, non-target shooting directly in front of you.

!" Looking at the orcs who were blocking the arrows one after another and showing a happy face, Xuan Yue changed her strategic policy in a cold voice.

As Xuan Yue's order was issued, the first and second third formations immediately adjusted their shooting angles, and the crossbowmen of the first line's company also quickly adjusted the angle of their crossbow vehicles and aimed them at the open space directly ahead.

The charging orcs were rejoicing because the arrows could not hit them, but they were not happy enough to laugh out loud. Suddenly, another arrow fell from above their heads. In an instant, a large number of casualties appeared in the orc formation.

"Launch the repeating crossbow!" Seeing the pig man entering the firing range of the repeating crossbow, Xuan Yue gave the order.

The next moment, the soldiers who received the order removed the mechanism in their hands, and the twelve crossbow arrows one meter long and two fingers wide that hit the crossbow cart suddenly shot out.

Whoosh…whoosh

Xuan Yue knew that the pig's skin was powerful, but this power had a range. Faced with the improved crossbow arrows, which added rotating characteristics and spiral arrows, the pig's skin immediately became a joke.

Puff puff...

As the first round of crossbow arrows shot into the pig-men's formation, the first row of orcs in front suddenly rolled to the ground like a gourd. After only rolling a few times, they came to a complete stop.

Each pigman has no less than three or five crossbow arrows on his body. Some of the sharp arrows even penetrated the pigmen, piercing and killing the werewolves, ratmen, and kobolds hiding behind.

Hiss! Sounds of inhaling sounded from the armies of Great Qin and the Orcs. Although the people in the Great Qin army knew that the improved arrows were terrifying, they never expected that they were so powerful that ordinary arrows could not cause damage at all. The injured pig skin was so vulnerable in front of them.

Even during the fierce battle on the hillside, those crossbow arrows were only inserted into the pig man's body, far from reaching the point of penetration!

There was a dead silence among the orcs. They had never thought that humans had such powerful weapons. Even the pigs, who are famous for their defensive skin, could not withstand the sharp crossbow arrows. So who else could resist?

However, the battlefield was changing rapidly, and it was not their turn to think about it. In less than ten seconds, the second round of crossbow arrows was cocked again, and the four calls sounded again.

"The tauren charge with their shields on top!" The number of pigs is not large, and their population growth is completely controlled, because the pigs' appetite is so large that ordinary tribes cannot afford to feed them, and the bears are here He did not expect that such a result would occur. Facing the second round of repeated crossbows that was about to be launched, he immediately issued a new order.

As the bear man's words fell, the ugly-faced tauren had to hold up their large wooden shields in front of them, but they all knew in their hearts that such a wooden shield, which was only thirty centimeters thick, wanted to block the extremely sharp crossbow arrows. It’s just wishful thinking!

"The wolf cavalry charges! The ax throwers close the distance! The lizard archers approach!" Just before the second round of crossbows was about to be launched, the bear man ordered his long-range troops to start approaching.

Whoosh...whoosh

As the second round of continuous crossbows was fired again, tens of thousands of crossbow arrows were shot out again, rushing towards the tauren's line with an extremely shrill roar.

Pound pound pound... pfft!

As the crossbow arrows hit the wooden shield with a dull pounding sound, the first crossbow arrow passed through the wooden shield with a soft thud, piercing the tauren's head under the stunned and desperate eyes. The next moment, the tauren frontline fell like wheat. Without the resistance of the pigmen and tauren, a large number of orcs suddenly suffered heavy casualties.

However, at the cost of hundreds of thousands of people, the orcs have pushed the front line to a distance of less than 500 meters. At such a distance, with the explosive power of the orcs, they can rush in front of them in up to 20 seconds. If it is faster, maybe 15 seconds. , the best among the orcs can rush in front of you!

"First line of fire! The sword and shield bearers are ready to engage the enemy, and the spearmen are ready to engage the enemy!" Looking at the orcs arriving in the blink of an eye, Xuan Yue immediately shouted loudly.

Fifteen seconds is only enough time for the crossbowmen to shoot three arrows. It's not that they can't improve, but that most of the crossbowmen here are temporary guest players. Their archery skills are inferior to those of the swordsmen, shieldmen and spearmen in front. They are much stronger, so they can serve as crossbowmen, but even so, their speed and accuracy are still far from those of real crossbowmen.

"The first line of archers and crossbowmen retreat to the second line! The sword, shield, and spearmen retreat slowly!" When the first wave of orcs fought against the first line of Da Qin soldiers, Xuan Yue ordered again.

As Xuan Yue's order was given, the crossbowmen of the first front picked up the arrows stuck on the ground and quickly retreated towards the second front, while the spearmen and sword and shield men slowly retreated towards the back.

Melee combat is brutal! It is the most ruthless! Death is also the highest!

As the first front line fought closely with the orcs, the difference between humans and orcs was highlighted in just a few breaths. It takes five years to train an elite Great Qin soldier, but even if

Even such elite soldiers cannot compare with the good fighters among the orcs, and the best of the orcs are even more powerful!

However, with sophisticated equipment and weapons, the gap between humans and orcs was infinitely narrowed. With the collision of flesh and steel, a large number of orcs were killed in front of their eyes.

At this time, the casualties of the Great Qin soldiers also began. As each of the Great Qin soldiers was attacked by the swarming orcs, facing several or even a dozen orcs jumping out together, even the strongest Qin army

It was difficult for the soldiers to resist.

"The second line of crossbowmen fired flatly! The torn crossbowmen stepped back two hundred meters and fired diagonally! The crossbow carts were ready to shoot!" Looking at the orcs and Daqin soldiers who were gradually intertwined, Xuan Yue knew that this was the time to make a decisive decision.

It's time.

The orcs were able to organize such a huge legion, and they have obviously spent all their capital. As long as they can capture this wave of enemies, the orc army that will follow, no matter how sophisticated the troops are, will not be able to have so many cannon fodder legions!

As the second front fired volleys without distinguishing between ourselves and the enemy, a large number of orc soldiers who were not wearing armor suffered heavy casualties, but the Daqin soldiers whose whole bodies were wrapped in armor were not even damaged by such a rain of arrows.

Suppressed by such an intrusion, the orc soldiers who were intertwined with the Da Qin soldiers were suddenly stunned. Taking advantage of this time, the soldiers of the first front fought and retreated to the side of the second front.

"The second front line launches its crossbows!" Xuan Yue said coldly when she saw the orc army completely exposed in front of her.

Whoosh...whoosh

With the continuous firing of the crossbows, the orc army that was less than a hundred meters away was immediately wiped out by nearly one hundred thousand. The fifty meters in front of the entire front line were filled with crowded orcs. Under such circumstances,

Each of the sharp crossbow arrows penetrated a dozen or even dozens of orcs, stopping at a distance of fifty meters! Nearly a hundred thousand orcs suddenly turned into meritorious deeds under the firing of these thousands of crossbows.

.

"Kill, kill, kill all humans!"

"Go ahead!!"

"The wolf cavalry is coming, charge!"

The huge casualties this time made countless orcs' eyes turn red, and with shrill roars, they rushed forward one by one desperately.

And when they were less than a thousand meters away, the werewolves rushed over on gray wolves that were two meters tall and three meters high. Not far away from the werewolves were lizardmen and women holding simple bows and arrows.

The tauren with a small ax also came closer.

"The second front is preparing to evacuate! The crossbowmen retreat! The spearmen and sword and shield bearers slowly evacuate!"

When she saw the orcs taking out the last one, a cruel smile appeared on Xuan Yue's lips, as if there was a more terrifying plan waiting for the orcs.

"Kill! The humans have run away again! They have the last front line left. Kill all the humans wherever they go!" Looking at the Daqin soldiers retreating again, the bear man led several people at some unknown time.

Thousands of bear troops also rushed over.

Not far away from the bear men are hundreds of strong tiger men, all of whom are at the mid-level of the second soul!

This is the last trump card of the orcs! Without drawing troops from the other two countries on the border, nearly four million troops have gathered here, including the two hundred Tiger Guards and one thousand two thousand Tiger Guards drawn from the royal capital.

An army of hundreds of furious Ursines.

Each of these bear-men is a strong person in the early stage of the second soul, and each of those tiger men is a strong person in the middle stage of the second soul. Once such a powerful force confronts the human army head-on, I am afraid that it will be able to overwhelm the human front in the blink of an eye.
