Chapter 580: Allies' Battlefield (2) Ask for Subscription

Although the humans born in the southern continent are not strong in archery, they are average in terms of construction, swordsmanship, horsemanship, etc., and because of the neutral attitude shown by the orcs, these humans are not good in terms of morale and combat experience, not to mention the direction of their so-called source of combat experience, which is to encircle and suppress those sand thieves.

However, it is fortunate that although the human beings in the southern continent lived a quiet life before, they did not give up the sense of crisis, but were in a state of preparedness for danger every year, after all, the contradictions between humans and orcs from ancient times to the present are not so easy to be eliminated, of course, the sun does not set people, except for the sunset, because the sun does not set and the orcs have been in contact for less than 10 years.

"Since you can't hone the actual combat ability of the soldiers on your side because of the factors of the surrounding environment, let's work the soldiers' equipment!" With this in mind, the humans of the Crescent Moon Empire began to specialize in the art of forging, and at the same time, as the human king of the Crescent Empire, he also established a good relationship with a dwarven kingdom on the edge of the Southern Continent instead of the Crescent Empire, and sent young people selected from his side to study the art of dwarf forging there many times.

In such a situation, gradually the armor casting skills of the people of the Crescent Empire have become stronger and stronger, although because of the mediocrity of the materials, and the backwardness of the casting and refining techniques, the armor and weapons made by the Crescent Empire cannot be compared with the weapons and armors cast by the Great Empire where the sun never sets, but in fact, the armor and weapons cast by the humans of the Crescent Empire are only a little behind the sunset, which is also for what Although the Crescent Empire will trade luxury goods from the side of the Great Empire where the sun never sets, and buy purple shirts and wooden bows in large quantities, But there was no reason to buy armor and weapons from the Great Empire, because in the eyes of the Crescent people, who are good at casting heavy plate armor and one-handed weapons, the weapons created by their own people are enough for the army, and there is no need to spend money to buy armor and weapons that are only better than their own side. Not to mention the type of armor that people need on the battlefields of the South Continent is heavy plate armor, not the kind of full-body plate armor that can wrap around the whole body to protect against arrows from the Empire of the Sun Never Sets (the accuracy of orc ranged units has always been a joke, even for those troll shooters armed with javelins).

The strong and sturdy heavy plate armor has always been one of the reasons why the human warriors of the Crescent Empire believe that they can defeat the soldiers of the Orc Great Empire, and the other reason is the confidence of the humans of the Crescent Empire in their own strong physique.

Both outwardly and internally, the humans of the Crescent Empire are generally taller and stronger than the humans of other regions, and this is because the humans of the Crescent Empire have not objected to humans marrying and having children with orcs for many years: the humans of the Crescent Empire are very open to the concept of love, and in their opinion, as long as they can get along with them, they are the ones they are destined to be. It doesn't matter which race the other party is or which religion it is, so the current human blood of the Crescent Empire is not all human blood, and according to one of the reports after the development of journalism in the future, it has claimed that it has been investigated many times. At least 10% of the Crescent Empire's human bloodline is orc blood.

Although the weak orc bloodline did not give these human warriors the talent to go berserk, they could be like the barbarians in the northern regions of the Middle Continent. Unleash the madness of an orc warrior. But he has a physique as strong as a normal green-skinned orc.

Maybe it's nothing, at most it's just a "very good" attribute, but the problem is that the people of the Crescent Empire are good at making heavy plate armor! And the stronger the body, the stronger it means that the human warriors of the Crescent Moon Empire can wear heavier heavy plate armor, so now the thickness of the armor worn by these humans who have inherited the blood of the Orcs in the Crescent Empire has reached a terrifying thickness of nearly 7 mm or even 8 mm, and in this case, these human warriors of the Crescent Moon Empire can also make a short trot on the battlefield. As for the weight of the plate armor on the human knights of the Crescent Empire, it has generally reached 9 mm.

And this is the characteristic of the human soldiers of the Crescent Empire: because of their strong bodies, they have extremely heavy armor, although the production process of these armors is not the best, and this is also for what the human heavy cavalry of the Crescent Empire is fierce after seeing the wolf cavalry troops of the beast clan. Almost without the slightest hesitation, he chose to launch a frontal charge at it, because the weight of the Crescent Empire's human heavy cavalry itself is clearly placed there, and its charging power comes from the physical aspect alone, and the wolf under the crotch of the orc riders may not be able to withstand it, not to mention that the human heavy cavalry still has riding spears and other things in their hands.

As for the fighting style of the human heavy cavalry on the side of the Crescent Empire, the wolf cavalry on the orc side was aroused at the same time, but also secretly preserved a reason: although the orcs seem to be some simple-minded goods with developed limbs, they have built a strong country in this world full of wars for so many years, and it has continued to the present day from ancient times, this alone must require the orcs to have a cunning head no less than that of humans, otherwise the orc empire will either have long perished, or will be killed by other forces.

The orc warriors and commanders all know that it is obviously not a good thing to have a head-on confrontation with the human cavalry in the current situation, after all, the thickness and solidity of the heavy plate armor on the human side are clearly on this side, but it is not good if you don't take it head-on on your side, because if you choose to outflank the two wings, although the movement speed of the human heavy cavalry is slow, but the wolf under your crotch is riding, not a horse, and the movement speed will not be as fast as the movement speed of the human heavy cavalry. Now that both sides have begun to trot, if they choose to get out of the way of the middle and attack on both sides this time, then it is very likely that before their forces are divided into two groups, the tail and even the flank of the two groups will be collided by the high-speed charge of the human heavy cavalry, resulting in a large number of casualties.

Therefore, after a short judgment, the orc side decided that since the front could not be contained with the human heavy cavalry, and now it was unlikely that it would succeed in attacking the two wings, then our side would surround all your human heavy cavalry and fight around while taking over the charge of your human heavy cavalry.

"Stretch the battle formation! Prepare to surround these human heavy cavalry! "The wolf warrior is different from the war horse, the bones of the wolf are destined to have a better steering ability in the process of running, which is also a major reason why the wolf cavalry on the orc side has no armor on the wolf warrior, except for a layer of leather armor and a big iron knife, but they are also not afraid of human cavalry. Under the orders of the orc officers, the rectangular charge formation of the wolf cavalry had become weaker than before, but also longer, at least one-fifth longer than the length of the heavy cavalry on the human side overall.

"Kill!" The charging power given by the big iron sword to the orc wolf cavalry is not very high, and the heavy cavalry on the human side are all steel-skinned human tanks armed to the teeth, even if the body of the wolf is larger than the body of the war horse, it will not help. So when the countless figures with broken spears rang out, at least 5 rows of orc wolf cavalry in front of the human heavy cavalry were torn to pieces, but in view of the fact that the corpses left by the orc wolf cavalry became an obstacle to the advance of the human heavy cavalry, the human heavy cavalry could only chisel through here at this time.

On the other hand, relying on the excellent steering ability of the wolf warrior, many orc wolf cavalry have circled the two wings and even the rear of the human heavy cavalry, and launched a short-distance collision with it: the heavy cavalry pays attention to unified action and unified pace when charging, only in this way can the charging formation become a steel wall that slams into any flying object, so the direction of the heavy cavalry in the charge is directly ahead, and because the field of vision of the heavy plate armor helmet is limited, these human heavy cavalry who aim their rifles at the flanks and the tail of the charge are directly ahead, It is impossible to find the situation on both flanks, that is, the human heavy cavalry at this time is simply unable to react to these orc wolf cavalry rushing towards them.

In this case, just like the charging power shown by the human heavy cavalry before, the orc wolf cavalry relied on the nerves that the human warriors had not yet reacted to in the charging formation, and also caused great damage to the flanks and tails of the human heavy cavalry charging formation, and the human knights who were directly used by the wolf to fly with their copper heads are the best proof, and the situation is just like what the human heavy cavalry showed just now, but the result is different: the human side almost chiseled through the charging formation of the orc wolf cavalry, The orc wolf cavalry almost surrounded all these human knights.

Immediately, but after the end of the cavalry hedging incident between the two sides with the highest mortality rate, the cavalrymen's immediate battle began, and the orcs relied on their own current good semi-encirclement and the terrifying big iron sword in their hands to besiege the human heavy cavalry who held the sword that was almost like an embroidered needle knight sword in the eyes of the orc warriors, and stabilized the heavy cavalry on the human side in terms of momentum.

However, the heavy cavalry on the human side is not bad, first of all, in the previous hedge between the cavalry of the two sides, the number of orc wolf cavalry killed on their side is definitely much higher than the number of human heavy cavalry killed by orcs on their side; Secondly, the human heavy cavalry has a layer of heavy plate armor that even the big iron knife in the hands of the orc wolf cavalry may not be able to cut off, and the same is true of the steel vest on the war horse under the crotch, and the only way for the orc wolf cavalry warriors to kill the human heavy cavalry is to use the big iron knife to knock the human knight off the horse, and then use the weight of the wolf to trample the human knight.

Therefore, the orcs soon discovered that these human heavy cavalry, who were not good at fighting immediately compared to themselves, had become extremely difficult steel bones in the eyes of the orcs with the layer of heavy plate armor on their bodies. (To be continued.) )
