Chapter 820: Three Wooden Bridges
"It's already time to the Frozen River, and it's really divided into three lineups. The order went down, and the three troops defending the crossing of the bridge fought and retreated, and let those orcs go to the bridge. Wait until you are three-quarters of the way to the wooden bridge and defend with all your might, waiting for the next order. ”
Standing on the high platform of his own base camp, he clearly took in the orc legions that were pouring over from the other side of the ice city, and noticed that because of the restrictions of the three ice cities, the orc legions that were divided into three lineups, Zhuang Xiaoyuan squinted his eyes and gave the second order.
The so-called martial god festival is actually a military deduction war between cities. The defending side provides the battlefield for military rehearsals, after which the two sides conduct military operations against the war in a fixed field.
As a defender, the biggest advantage is the familiarity with their own field and the ability to deploy defenses on the field freely. And the attacker has to deal with not only the defender's troops, but also various traps and special arrangements from the field.
In such a military exercise, of course, the conditions for determining victory and defeat cannot only be to destroy the opponent's entire armament, or to destroy the opponent's Valkyrie.
In fact, in addition to the two difficult conditions of defeating the opponent's Valkyrie, or destroying all of the opponent's troops, there is also a relatively easy victory condition. That is, through the terminal behind the opponent's base camp.
This so-called Martial God Festival is not just as simple as two sides fighting each other, but also incorporating the rules of competitions such as obstacle races.
It is basically impossible for ordinary people to defeat the Valkyrie, and it is not so easy to completely annihilate the opponent's troops under normal circumstances, and the confrontation between the Valkyries is too simple and crude.
That's why we've added the rules of obstacle racing. Whichever side passes through the final stop after the opponent's base camp first will be the winner. In addition, the Valkyrie as the main commander is invalid to pass through the opponent's terminal.
Although it sounds like just passing through the terminal, it is much easier to completely annihilate the opposing forces than defeating the Valkyrie. However, when it comes to implementation, it is not as easy as it seems.
After all, this terminal is behind the base camp where the enemy's main general Valkyrie is located, and if you want to pass the end, you must pass through the base camp of the opponent's Valkyrie, which is the most critical place for the Valkyrie Festival.
It's just that although there are such obstacle racing rules, for Zhuang Xiaoyuan's Spiral City, where they are, there is basically no need to consider how to win. Well, it should be said that for the time being, there is no need to think about how to win.
Now that the gap between the numbers of the two sides is so huge, let alone passing through the terminal guarded by the other Valkyrie, it is impossible to bypass the opponent's large army.
Therefore, Zhuang Xiaoyuan will make all kinds of arrangements, with the purpose of annihilating all the other party's troops. Of course, it is impossible to really achieve total annihilation, there will always be fish that slip through the net, and the other party's Valkyrie will not sit idly by and watch Zhuang Xiaoyuan completely annihilate their troops.
It's just that if you can't do total annihilation, it's good to be able to annihilate most of them. It is enough to destroy most of the opponent's strength so that the only remaining troops of the side can fight. From the very beginning, Zhuang Xiaoyuan was trying to reduce the strength of the other party, so that his side could gain the strength to confront the opponent head-on.
As Zhuang Xiaoyuan's order was transmitted to the defending troops at the crossing of the bridge through the herald's flag, the seventy soldiers who had retreated from the ice city in front of them were gathered, and the total number of this defensive force had reached one hundred and seventy, and they immediately began to slowly retreat while resisting the attack of the orc legion.
The three wooden bridges spanning the frozen river are specially designed, and the wooden bridges are less than two meters wide, allowing three people to cross at the same time if they were huddled together with a human body.
And if you want to leave a gap for easy dodging, this kind of wooden bridge can only stand two people standing side by side. As a hostile soldier, the orc clan, which has a stronger body than humans, is already reluctant to squeeze two people, and if you really want to exert your strength, you can basically only come up one person at a time.
Therefore, in the case of two against one, the human beings who defended with all their might could barely resist the attack of the orc race.
Although from time to time, a few humans will be accidentally knocked out during the battle with the orcs, or they will be killed on the spot. However, in the case of fighting and retreating, the casualties were not as tragic as those of the thirty who were directly engulfed in the first place.
Under the battle of human beings fighting and retreating, more and more orcs began to gather on the opposite bank of the river through the three ice cities, and the more and more orcs gathered, they could not hide the irritability in their hearts, and let out all kinds of strange roars, venting their frustration.
The three narrow wooden bridges were already difficult for the orcs to pass through quickly, not to mention that there were human soldiers resisting on this wooden bridge. Fortunately, these human soldiers were not well defended, and they were beaten back by the orcs, otherwise these orcs would not have just roared in annoyance.
But just as the soldiers of these orc legions pushed the human forces closer to the other side of the riverbank. In an area only a few steps away from the riverbank, the human soldiers actually stayed where they were, no matter how the orcs attacked, they would not take a step back.
The sudden halt of the advance made the orcs more and more irritable, and there was a strong bestiality in the blood of the orc race itself. And although this kind of bestiality has allowed the orcs to gain far more powerful power than other races, it has also made them lose a lot of patience.
The state that was originally advancing was still able to make these orcs barely endure. However, when the original advance encountered obstacles, these waiting orcs could not hold back the irritability in their hearts, and began to push the orcs who had squeezed onto the wooden bridge in front of them.
Under the push of the orcs in the rear, the orcs in front were involuntarily oppressed, their bodies lost a certain balance, and their strength was also discounted accordingly. This allowed the human soldiers to seize the opportunity, and in a moment, several orcs were killed with the cooperation of humans.
"Roar~ Silence me down. What to shout, what to squeeze. We are not fragile human beings, and we need to cross this wooden bridge to get to the other side. Straight to me over the ice. ”
When the orcs irritated each other, many orcs in front of them were affected and killed by humans. The commander of this orc legion finally reacted and began to instruct the orcs to abandon the passage over the wooden bridge and instead go directly over the river that had been completely frozen.
"Roar~" was reminded and warned by the commander, and the orcs close to the river bank let out excited roars, and couldn't wait to jump into the completely frozen river, and with the lubrication of the ice, they slid directly towards the opposite bank. 2k reading web
