Chapter 230, stalemate
570,000 people are overwhelming, directly occupying a large area of wilderness.
There were more people on the side of the Divine King Temple, and more than two million people directly formed a black ocean.
Looking at the enemy army formation that was waiting for him, Ning Yuan didn't have any extra words, only to see that with a wave of his big hand, the orc heavy infantry legion took the lead in moving forward.
At the forefront were sixty-one tall elephant-man warriors, holding a giant three-meter-tall shield in their left hand and a huge mace in their right hand, dressed in chain mail specially made for them by dwarven craftsmen.
After the elephant warriors put on the chain mail, although most of their bodies were exposed, at least the heart, eyes, joints and other important parts were protected.
As long as the enemy can't attack these vital parts, it will be difficult for them to kill these thick-skinned elephant warriors.
Ning Yuan also thought about creating a set of full-body armor for the elephant warriors, but their size was too huge, and if they really wanted to create a set of full-body armor, I am afraid it would take thousands of catties.
The movement speed of the elephant warrior is not fast, and if you wear such a set of full-body armor again, I am afraid that you will be even more unable to walk, so this set of full-body armor must lose weight.
Considering the rough skin and thick flesh of the elephant warriors, the dwarven craftsmen directly eliminated a large number of useless designs, and finally the whole body armor was successfully slimmed down, becoming the current chain mail.
Ning Yuan had raised these elephant people for so long, and this was the first time they had fought head-on, which showed how much Ning Yuan attached importance to this battle.
Behind the Elephant Man warriors are heavily armed bear warriors, minotaur warriors, boar man warriors, and tiger warriors.
Unlike the elephant warriors, these big men are armed directly to the teeth, and each one is like a small moving bunker, which is very difficult to bite just by looking at it.
Behind the orc hoplites is the 60,000 Condor Guards led by Shen Wanli, flanked by the Terran Heavy Infantry Legion, and behind the Terran Heavy Infantry Legion are the Dwarf Heavy Infantry Legion and the Barbarian Legion.
Behind the Condor were five hundred dwarven ice bear cavalry and a legion of Terran heavy cavalry, followed by the werewolf guerrilla legion and the elven windrunner legion, and on either flank were the light cavalry legions of the Condor Leader.
Ning Yuan's purpose in arranging the formation like this is very simple, that is, to rely on his absolute strength to directly defeat the enemy's army head-on, and he wants to directly disintegrate this powerful enemy coalition army with one blow.
"Guys, this Ning Yuan seems to have a few brushes, what kind of formation is he? He wants to press the whole army directly? β
"I have to admit that this kid still has real materials, if it's one-on-one, none of us is his opponent, but he is too arrogant, does he really think that he can defeat our army in one fell swoop?"
"It is estimated that the people in several other war zones have forced him to be anxious, I just received a report that yesterday they directly descended the three cities of Ningyuan and annihilated more than 100,000 enemies.
Ning Yuan is probably going to jump off the wall in a hurry now, this is going to have a decisive battle with us.
It seems that this battle launched by our God King Temple will be over in ten days. β
"Pass the order, the heavy infantry column will pierce the jungle formation, I want to see if these orcs are really invulnerable."
Looking at the approaching enemy, Chang Yuan sneered and gave the order.
With Chang Yuan's order, countless shields immediately appeared in front of the position of the Divine King Hall coalition army, and then dense spears stretched out from behind the shields.
"Order the Orc Heavy Infantry Legion to implement Plan No. 2, the Condor Guard is a long snake formation, two columns are in a group, follow the Orc Heavy Infantry Legion, and don't let them be surrounded by the enemy."
Seeing that the enemy directly lined up the needle-piercing jungle array to defend, Ning Yuan, who was riding on a war horse, immediately issued a series of orders to the angel herald overhead.
The acupuncture jungle array is okay against cavalry, but it is not so good against orc heavy infantry.
Ning Yuan wasn't worried at all that the orc heavy infantry wouldn't be able to break through this formation, he was just worried that when these stupid big men were killed, they would ignore their heads and then fall directly into the enemy's encirclement.
Although the orc heavy infantry charged into battle strongly, they were not invincible, and once they were encircled, they were easily broken by each one, so in order to avoid this situation, the Condor Guard behind them had to keep up in time.
1,000 meters, 500 meters, 200 meters, 100 meters, 50 meters, 30 meters.
When the four or five meter-tall elephant warriors approached the enemy's phalanx step by step under the rain of arrows, the enemy soldiers who formed the needle-piercing jungle formation trembled with nervousness.
Looking at the behemoth in front of them, all they could do at this time was to hold the weapon in their hands tightly, hoping that the spear could pierce those big guys of the orc clan.
It's a pity that they think too much.
When the elephant warrior picked up the three-meter-long special mace, the dense needle jungle was immediately destroyed, like a cactus ball being smashed by a stone.
Sixty-one elephant warriors carved a huge gap in the pinprick jungle formation, and then followed behind them with the orc hoplites rushing in, fighting the enemy's vanguard army.
This coalition of the Temple of the Gods is mainly composed of elves, dwarves, and humans, so when faced with these rampaging orc hoplites, their vanguard army falls directly to the disadvantage.
They are also hoplites, and they are all invulnerable, but the orcs are taller and stronger, and they are holding blunt weapons in their hands, so the enemy's hoplites were suddenly killed by the orcs and were a little overwhelmed.
Soon, the Condor Guard behind the orcs also killed, and under the cover of the Condor Guard, the orcs became even more unscrupulous, and for a while, the entire battlefield was filled with the screams of the enemy.
"This orc heavy infantry legion is a bit difficult, although there are only more than 10,000 people, but the destructive power is too huge, I'm afraid our heavy infantry legion will have to be explained here."
Li Lin calmly commented, although his tone was regretful, there was no panic.
"It doesn't matter, where are the undead in the war, although this orc heavy infantry is powerful, after all, they only have 10,000 people, even if they are brave, they will always be exhausted, and at that time, it will be time for us to perform."
"Look, the enemy's hoplites are all on top, should we also send another legion to support, otherwise the legions on the front line may not be able to support for long."
"Ten thousand, twenty thousand, thirty thousandγ... 170,000, 180,000, this Ning Yuan is really rich, a casual player can arm nearly 200,000 hoplites, it seems that there must be a rich mine in his territory. β
"Pull it down, as far as I know, most of this kid's stuff was snatched from the outside.
He is an invading maniac, he robs what he sees, and then rushes to grab it, and the number of people in the territory is seriously exceeded, otherwise he would not have taken such a big risk to rob the Colorful Harvest Mountain. β
"No way, it's easy to go out and invade and rob, and it's easy to get addicted, but no matter how much food you steal, there will always be a day when you run out, and if you can't produce enough food in your territory, then you will only fall into a vicious circle.
I invaded a human plane in the Bronze Age, and at that time I plundered a population of 150,000, which made me very happy at first, and after a few months, I almost didn't die of sorrow, 100,000 mouths to be fed, how much food do I have to consume every day.
If it weren't for the president's timely support for my several batches of food, I'm afraid that half of the people in my territory would have starved to death. β
"Hey, digress, Fang Chen, let your infantry legion go up and let them kill, I want to see how many of us they can kill."
Seeing that a few people were nagging and going off-topic, Chang Yuan hurriedly pulled them back, after all, they should all be serious when fighting now.
After receiving Chang Yuan's order, Fang Chen immediately ordered the 100,000 infantry under his command to support him.
With the addition of 100,000 fresh troops, the legions on the front line finally stabilized their footing, but they were still the side that had the upper hand.
The 200,000 hoplites under Ning Yuan suppressed the enemy's continuous retreat, but as the enemy continued to send reinforcements, this forward army never collapsed, and they showed amazing resilience.
Looking at the heavy infantry group that was entangled by the enemy, Ning Yuan finally understood what the enemy's idea was.
Although the hoplites are invulnerable, their physical strength is a big problem, the enemy is using their lives to consume their physical strength, and when they are exhausted, it is useless to be invulnerable.
Although he saw all this clearly, Ning Yuan couldn't think of any way to crack it, because the enemy still had nearly 1.5 million fresh troops, and his side only had less than 400,000 people.
Now he just wanted the heavy infantry group to withdraw, because they were completely entangled by the enemy, and if they forcibly retreated, they would definitely suffer heavy losses.
"It seems that the only way to do it is to make a dangerous move, since this is the case, then let's break the boat."
This kind of positional warfare, although it is the advantage of one's own side, but because the enemy has a huge advantage in the number of troops, if it continues like this, it will always be led by the enemy's nose, so Ning Yuan simply took a heart and issued a new order.
"The Heavy Cavalry Regiment listens to my orders and prepares to charge with me, the Barbarian Legion and the Light Cavalry Legion follow me and charge with me, and the Werewolf Guerrilla Regiment and the Windranger Legion move freely on the periphery, taking care to protect the Heavy Infantry Army."
"Come on, send a flare, and the whole army will charge."
As the ten cloud-piercing arrows rose directly into the air, the major legions of the Condor Leader, who had been watching from the rear, immediately began to act, and they took their places according to Ning Yuan's orders, faithfully carrying out the tasks assigned to them by Ning Yuan.
Ning Yuan himself led the dwarven ice bear knight and the cavalry army to rush towards the enemy's main formation.
