Chapter 103: Counterattack

"Ready......... Put! Preparation......... Put! As arrows continued to shoot from the longbows of the Yoman archers, giant javelins and flaming barrels flew towards the orc army, which was shrinking at a rate visible to the naked eye. Although the orcs claim to be the number one warrior race on land, and in fact they are, but none of these orcs have any armor on their bodies that can resist these sharp arrows, and even those simple small wooden shields have been shattered after coming into contact with those snowy arrows, and their bodies are just flesh and blood, no matter how powerful they are.

The battle has lasted for nearly 1 hour, and the orcs have launched one attack after another on the periphery of Sun Lin's position, but no matter which one goes, they have been repulsed, especially until now, the soldiers of the orc front have already shown a tired look, many orcs are no longer able to rush forward while shouting and launching a battle cry charge when they were fighting, but cautiously with a form of fear and worry, with the weapons and broken shields in their hands, Step by step, they moved forward in front of and behind the heavy infantry units of Sun Lin's front before they began to fight, because none of them could predict that they or their comrades around them would be the targets of those sharpshooters with longbows behind those red tin cans, or those "magic weapons" that seemed harmless but could kill several or even dozens of warriors at once.

In comparison, the situation of the human front army at this time has improved, the half-orc legion, the heavy sergeant unit and the hook and sickle unit that were originally waiting in the outermost part have been withdrawn, except for the half-orc royal guard under the leadership of Zalaku who moved around Sun Lin to rest and prepare for battle, the rest of the surviving soldiers stayed in the small open space in the position specially used to park the wounded warriors to rest, and now in addition to letting them gasp and breathe in the air with a strong smell of blood, I guess the happier thing than this is to drink a glass of rum.

Although this time it was only out of the city to face the battle, and there was no need for the so-called baggage troops, let alone the so-called grain and grass, but for some reasons, Sun Lin finally decided to let the more than 400 engineers carry the war machine, and at the same time bring more than ten barrels of wine with the ammunition needed by the Yoman longbowmen (Sun Lin only told these soldiers who were drinking that in fact, these barrels were due to the fact that the stock of burning barrels in the city had decreased after the previous city defense battles, so that Sun Lin had to buy some inferior rum as spare burning barrels; In addition, since cremation was to be carried out after the war to eliminate the potential for plague, it must have been very troublesome to burn the corpses one by one, and if alcohol was used as gasoline to light the corpses, it would be faster to clean them up.)

However, Zalaku and Sun Lin both knew that although the current formation was guarded by all heavily armed swordsmen with strong combat effectiveness, the four fronts became extremely solid, but the question was: "Your Majesty, this is the last batch of heavy swordsmen, if there is any more rift, unless we put those Yoman longbowmen or engineers on top, I think we are ............ now." There are no more new forces left to join the fight. Looking at the battlefield around him, Zalaku, who had a calm face, said in a slightly worried tone.

"So what?" On the contrary, to Zalaku, Sun Lin did ask with a relaxed face: "We don't have a new force, won't the orcs also face this situation?" If you look there, both the orcs at the forefront and those who haven't joined the battle are already showing their tiredness. Now the total number of orc warriors on all sides has plummeted from about 30,000 to more than 10,000, and even almost to the bottom line of 10,000, and now the orc troops are almost gone, and I don't know what else can happen to the road to affect my victory. ”

"But under Sun Lin's crown, although the number of orcs has dropped to less than half of the original, all they have left behind are these orc heavy infantry who are tall and equal to half of the hoplites in battle, even if these hoplite swordsmen and those Yoman longbowmen in the rear are not as strong as the madness of the orcs. In my estimation, in about another 10 minutes or so, the formation of these tired heavy swordsmen will be torn apart by the orc heavy infantry and the orc light infantry of about 7,000 men, and then the 7,000 Yoman longbowmen with relatively weak defense will be forced to fight in close combat, maybe they can defeat the remaining orcs, but the losses are definitely very large, Crown, I remember you don't like to see those extra budget expenses or extra sacrifices on the battlefield? I don't think that's going to happen, right? ”

"You just said that the Heavy Swordsmen can hold out for a maximum of 10 minutes?" Sun Lin, who was originally sitting on the ground, suddenly stood up and stepped back onto the snow under the gaze of Zalaku, and the 34 members of the general guard beside him also stepped on his "comrades-in-arms" with Sun Lin, and put the riding gun under his armpit: "Actually, to be honest, they have completed their goal by persevering until now............ Zalaku, get ready, now you and your soldiers can have a good vent, don't believe you look there. ”

Looking in the direction that Sun Lin Jianfeng pointed, the originally calm periphery suddenly floated up with rolling yellow sand, and on the other side, a larger formation also appeared, and the speed of the group of figures was judging from the advancing speed, as long as it was an ordinary soldier, it was a cavalry unit: "Zalaku, are you strange before, why did Bobby's cavalry troops rush back here after luring away the orc wolf cavalry troops and destroying them all, but did not come back until now." In fact, it is very simple, I had handed him over before leaving, if the fortress of Nottingham was not attacked by the orc warriors, then don't be in such a hurry to come back, because according to my estimate, the remaining 1,000 heavy cavalry after the cavalry battle may pose a threat to the orc troops, but they cannot be defeated at once, so for the sake of safety, I ordered those knight squires in the city of Nottingham to immediately mount their horses and go to the battlefield if they did not find the orc troops in half an hour, and meet General Bobby who was waiting outside the city, Disperse all the fighting intent of the orc warriors at once. ”

"This, this is too messy! What if the orc generals were patient? Isn't that .........?"

"It doesn't matter, anyway, with these more than 3,000 knight squires, Nottingham's city defenses haven't decreased much, and isn't it the right bet now? Alright, give the order, when General Bobby's cavalry unit rushes into the orc troops, all the men begin to counterattack! ”
