Chapter 429: Red Fortress Defending Battle (Final)
War is never child's play, the reason why Yuri dared to make a decision and personally led the team to implement this plan, in addition to Yuri himself is indeed a Nordic giant from Oslo, another point is because he has been in the military academy, and has had systematic research on the orcs, not to mention the opponent set in the simulated battle report handed in, which is the regular army of the Orc Great Empire in the southern continent of the King Continent.
In Yuri's view, whether it is the orcs who survived in the King Continent ten thousand years ago, or the orcs now, although the changes of time in the past ten thousand years have caused the orcs to abandon many ancient cultures, some of which even involve the shaman culture of the orcs, but the changes in the past ten thousand years have not wiped out the proud warlike heart of the orc warriors.
Because even in the feudal era, the orc warriors who maintained the slave and tribal system always trusted only the strong and the wise, and these wise and strong men must not only have superb martial arts and erudite knowledge, but also inherit the noble fighting concept of the orcs never retreating, which is commonly known as "one tendon". And this is also the strongest point of the orc army summed up by all races after countless battles with the orcs, and it is also the most common place that the enemy uses as a breakthrough point to counterattack the orc army. So when the Minotaur Shamans entered the Orc Army, Yuri was convinced that these Minotaur Shamans would always move forward and not take a step back after the Orc Warriors captured the Red Fortress, or until all the Orc Warriors were killed.
At the same time, the 5,000 royal guards who had not been lined up on the battlefield by the three commanders of the sun never set before this time were also put down by Yuri with the double "smoke bombs" of the Mishaal heavy axe soldiers and the Mishaal raiders, and became the killer move of the sunset side, these comprehensive combat power is stronger than the Swiss Guards, and the morale can be equivalent to that of the Royal Knight Guards of the sun by virtue of their own results, under the comprehensive attack of the surrounding strong orc warriors, they were stunned from the totem warriors of the strong orc clan, and killed a bloody way. And pointed the sharpest side of the halberd in his hand at the minotaur shamans.
The reputation of the Minotaur clan among the orcs is not higher than that of the strong orcs, but that is because the Minotaur clan is the most stable tribe among the orcs, and they generally do not directly participate in the frontal battlefield, but enter the battlefield as a shaman in the orc army to inspire the army, so many people and many powerful forces do not know that in fact, the warriors of the Minotaur clan are the real kings of foot warfare, of course, this king of infantry warfare is even from the perspective of humanoid intelligence, otherwise it is only the spider clan that has a friendly foundation with the great empire on which the sun never sets. Tarantula warriors with an average length of more than 4 meters are enough to beat these minotaur warriors, not to mention that these tarantula warriors can not only use sharp mouth pincers, but also spray poisonous spider webs to kill enemies.
And in the end of this battle to defend the red fortress, just as Yuri, who was on the battlefield holding his handsome banner in one hand and stabbing a severed halberd head into the last Minotaur shaman with the other, Yuri expected, the strong orc warriors with rainbow morale entered a state of collapse after the Minotaur shaman was killed, plus the mammoth beasts behind him had been killed by the human city-defending giant crossbow from a distance, although the Eagle Voice Man warriors and bipedal Wyvern knights in the sky took some of the sweetness among the human archers. However, due to the inability to clear all the humans on the city wall in a short period of time, the tribal chiefs on the orc side finally decided to withdraw their troops.
When Yuri commanded the human soldiers who were exhausted by the surprise battle before slowly retreating towards the red fortress, the half-orc warriors who had fought more than 40,000 warriors so far under the command of Zaraku immediately began to use the stumbling stones equipped on their bodies, caught nearly a thousand strong orc warriors in an instant, and then began to pursue forward. Although the half-orc warriors had been fighting for several hours before this, with the strong endurance of the half-orc clan, the half-orc warriors were only slightly tired at this time, so in the end, when all the half-orc warriors pursued to the farthest shooting distance of the giant crossbow above the red fortress wall, there were more than 5,000 strong orc warriors captured, and these more than 5,000 people were still slightly injured and broke a little skin. It does not include those soldiers who fell to the ground groaning and waiting for the sun to come to clean up the battlefield, whether they were in a good mood today, whether they were kind enough to treat them or make up for a knife, and then a fire would be dealt with directly.
"More than 10,000 people were killed in the battle, nearly half of them were Reykja archers, it seems that this battle has exposed the weakness of our air defense, if the enemy sends more Harpy warriors and bipedal Wyvern knights next time, then even if our soldiers win the land battle, they may not be able to achieve overall victory!" Throwing the battle report in his hand on the table, Leo said with a distressed face.
The reason why Leo has this expression is because in this battle, not to mention that the city defense system of the Red Fortress was destroyed by most of the bipedal dragon knights, just the loss of more than 6,000 Reykja archers, more than 5,000 sunset hand-to-hand combat troops, and the damage of 10,000 sets of armor is enough to make Leo feel painful, not to mention the southeast continent of the ancient continent that is nearly a month's journey back and forth from Reykjavik City on the Northern Continent. The sun never sets on the side may be able to drag a certain corps into an area occupied by the side and start replenishing the troops, and it is impossible to restore the formation of the Reykja Archers in less than a month or two.
And the most lame thing is that after Sun Lin defeated the snow troll clan in the northwest region of the Central Continent, he was not only able to gain the allegiance of many Dirks, but also gained control of the Yatdaran Mountains, and his own side obviously won an army of orc tribes whose civilization level was only higher than that of snow trolls, but in the end, in addition to harvesting more than 5,000 strong orc slaves, at most he got some iron sheets and iron blocks, as for gaining the loyalty of the people and occupying a certain area or something............... Don't be kidding, in this place where birds don't, only that group of nervous orcs will look at this place so seriously, not to mention the control of the region, when the day does not fall on the side of the sea to establish the permanent giant wooden fortress of the red fortress, this area has been systematically divided into the territory of the great empire on which the sun never sets, and now that group of orcs is completely invaders to the side that does not set.
