Wizard Lords: Building an Empire starts from the panel
Chapter 23 Breaking the Army (Part )
More than 3,000 people from the Fontaine Kingdom side actually managed to penetrate the tens of thousands of enemy troops under the Snow Dragon Fortress with almost no damage!
"Ignore the orc rear army and the main camp, turn left and rear, and charge again from the side and rear of the orc front army!"
Under the order of Marquis Ashan, more than 3,000 people turned their horses and went around to the right rear of the orcs' front army. Three sharp blades plunged into the enemy army again.
This time, the resistance of the orcs was even weaker. The remains of countless orc warriors were carried away by the knights' lances. A small number of orc army formations that tried to organize resistance were directly crushed. Several strong orcs who tried to attack the Marquis of Ashan were even more powerful. He was killed on the spot!
"Lord Warren! Why don't we go forward to respond? If this continues, the front army will be finished!"
"What to save? Although His Highness Westheit was seriously injured and unconscious, I do not have the authority to order the army to move forward! Who will be responsible if something goes wrong?!"
At this moment, Warren Isbell, who had the highest status present, flatly refused.
Warren was born in the Isbell tribe, the largest tribe of bearmen and the third largest tribe in the Orc Empire.
Not only is he the leader of the Isbell Tribe, the leader of the Second Legion, and the leader of the Bear Tribe, he is also a well-known and powerful man in the sanctuary.
Originally, this attack on Snow Dragon Fortress was going to be a crushing victory. Crown Prince Westheit has always wanted to suppress powerful patriarchs like Warren. So he gave the opportunity for the former army to gain military exploits to those large tribes that did not serve as clan leaders.
Unexpectedly, Matthew Ashan of the Fontaine Kingdom was still as sharp as ever, and the crushing situation of the imperial army turned into a collapse situation.
Now that the tribes in the former army who wanted to gain military exploits were in bad luck, why would Warren take the risk to save them? It’s good if you don’t laugh out loud!
But Warren Isbell still made enough gestures. He added:
"In my opinion, even if the army moves forward now, it is too late. Look, the front army will collapse soon. If we rush forward rashly, the defeated front army will disrupt our formation!
I propose that all parties in the army change their formations into circular formations to guard against retreat! "
"Clan Chief Warren is right, and I agree!"
"Seconded!"
"Seconded!"
The heads of the surviving tribes such as the Werewolf Tribe, Leopard Tribe, and Centaur Tribe seconded their opinions. Under the general situation, the injured Lion-human Sanctuary wanted to refute, but it was difficult for him to speak.
Two minutes later, the orc front army was penetrated again. The three thousand elite cavalry led by Marquis Ashan arrived at the gates of Snow Dragon Fortress, turned their horses' heads, and made a gesture of charging again.
As soon as Marquis Ashan raised his sword, the soldiers of the orc front army collapsed completely. Ordinary soldiers no longer ignored the restraints of the officers, broke away from the military formation and fled to the rear.
The officers and orc masters who lost the cover of ordinary soldiers could only be trapped and fled. In less than ten breaths, the orc front army went from a partial rout to a complete rout.
"Send the order! Priests and wizards below Silver Moon will return to the city to recuperate first. Each brigade is free to hunt and come to me in ten minutes!"
The three thousand elite cavalry were divided into ten, like ten hungry wolves, and pounced on the sheep that were unable to resist. Even though the number of fleeing orcs was ten times that of the pursuers, they were so heartbroken that they had lost the courage to resist.
Most of them couldn't outrun the war horses, but they only needed to outrun their companions, so large-scale armor removal, pushing and stampeding took place.
The elite cavalry under Marquis Ashan were like ferocious hungry wolves, killing the orcs who were as weak as sheep and defeated the army. A small number of lucky ones climbed into the steep and rugged mountain forest twice and escaped from the Shura field.
Most of the orcs' defeated troops followed the large current and flowed towards the orcs' rear. Along the way, more orcs died from being trampled and crushed than from the swords of the pursuers.
In the orc rear army, looking at the retreating troops, the faces of the main talkers were extremely ugly. They knew that the former army would definitely be destroyed, but they did not expect it to collapse so quickly and completely.
"The Second Legion obeys the order! All those who attack the military formations, regardless of their status, will be killed without mercy! Don't worry about those who walk between the gaps in the military formations!"
Warren Isbell sullenly first issued the order to his direct regiment.
There was no way. Although this order offended people, as the person with the highest status present, he had to stand up and take the lead at this moment.
Once the rear army is dispersed by the retreating troops, Matthew Ashan on the opposite side will definitely take advantage of the situation to attack! Once the rear army also collapses, it means that the main orc army is completely gone.
At that time, the mere Crown Prince Westheit couldn't hold back. He, the leader of the Bear Tribe, would definitely be slipped out by the old Beast Emperor to share the firepower with the Crown Prince.
Not only that, Warren himself has some ideas. He was not prepared to gather the defeated army immediately, as long as the rear army's formation was stable. Most of the rear army is composed of private soldiers from the tribes where the clan leaders belong, and their combat power is stronger than that of the front army.
He wanted to bet that Matthew Ashan on the opposite side would not be able to resist coming over to harvest the defeated army.
As long as the rear army remains in chaos, its combat power can crush Matthew Ashan's three thousand elite cavalry. And if he wins the battle, his military exploits will have nothing to do with Crown Prince Westheit and those leaders of large tribes who are not patriarchs.
With Warren Isbell taking the lead, the remaining major talkers issued similar orders to the troops under their control.
At this moment, Marquis Ashan looked at the orc rear army formation in front and couldn't help but frown. Each of the six 10,000-man legions formed a tight circular formation, arranged in a triangle, with no obvious flaws visible.
"The orcs still have something to offer. The rear army remains calm in times of danger. The effect of these defeated armies is probably very limited."
So Marquis Ashan made a gesture to the city head and asked them to try whether they could use a counterweight trebuchet to shake the orc rear army.
"The Marquis sent us an order to use the new trebuchet to attack the orc rear army."
"This is too far. At this distance, the giant counterweight trebuchet can throw up to 200 kilograms of stone projectiles, and the accuracy cannot be guaranteed at all. As for other trebuchets, they are basically useless." The responsible person. The officer who commanded the trebuchet was in trouble.
"Your Majesty the Marquis ordered it here, we can only give it a try."
Just as the hundreds of giant trebuchets in the Snow Dragon Fortress were adjusting their weights, the orcs' broken troops finally ran into the orcs' rear army.
These unarmed defeated soldiers thought they had escaped the pursuit behind them, and finally saved a life. Unexpectedly, they were greeted by sharp arrows and steel blades from their own clan.
"What are you doing! My father is the leader of the Golden Horn Tribe! No -"
"Let me in! I don't want to die!~"
"Stay aside! Don't run towards the military formation!"
"Why do you dare to block us? Brothers, come together and kill these bastards of kobolds!"
"Anyone who dares to attack the military formation will be killed without mercy!"
Various chaotic scenes were staged in various military formations. The orcs who fled in front of the human elite cavalry showed great courage in the face of their own kind.
But this kind of courage was only temporary. As the orcs in the rear army killed the group of defeated soldiers who made the most noise, the remaining defeated soldiers calmed down and moved toward the gaps between several military formations. Squeeze away.
"Enemy attack!"
Following the warning from the rear army observation post, a hundred stone bullets weighing about 200 kilograms flew out from the Snow Dragon Fortress in the distance and hit the orcs.
I recommend a book called "Mysterious Reincarnation: The Years I Was a Lord God". You can read about the mysterious shadow in many places. Friends who are interested can read it.
