Chapter 608: The Battle of Mordan (10)

"Orc Legion, charge!" With the roar of the beast and the shout of an officer who never sets the sun, countless orc warriors with giant heavy swords suddenly stood up in the forest, wearing one-half of the heavy plate armor of the sun that could not hinder the wielding of its four limbs without knee pads and arm guards, and only the two armors of the cuirass and the shoulders and skirt armor, rushed towards the huge humanoid tanks and the real marching Elvatha combined soldiers.

"Not good! The sun never sets! Formation! After seeing the lion pattern on the front of the silver-white cuirass on the silver-white breastplate of these orcs, Officer Aihuasha, who was obviously wearing some ancient Roman style armor, immediately reacted and realized that he was ambushed by the army that the sun never sets, although there were at least two legions on his side, but in terms of the number of these orcs, their number was no less than the number of a legion. Under such circumstances, Officer Aihuasha immediately made a more correct response: put on a defensive formation.

Because the troops of the United Kingdom of Ehuasha are almost the same as the armies of ancient Rome in the original world, both in terms of armor and weapons (the only difference is that the ancient Roman warriors had no armor on their lower bodies, and sometimes they did not even have a pair of underwear, while the lower body of the soldiers of the United Kingdom of Ehuatha wore linen pants with iron knee pads and leggings inlaid with iron sheets, and even some wealthy soldiers would press a leather skirt on top of the linen pants, one was made of iron nails, Iron and leather are made in the same way as inlaid armor, a long skirt armor that is very similar to the skirt of the lower body of soldiers in the Eastern Continent). Therefore, the soldiers of the United Kingdom of Avatha were equipped with no more than four types of weapons: spears, short spears, tower shields, and Roman short swords.

Of course, the above equipment is generally equipped with the soldiers of the Ihuasha Youth Regiment in the 2nd line of the United Kingdom Army, as the heavy Ahuasha soldiers of the first-line troops, and even the more elite members of the Ahuasa Guardian Regiment, although the weapons equipped by these soldiers retain the appearance of the weapons of the ancient Roman troops to a certain extent, but in fact, there have been earth-shaking changes in the details.

For example, the spears used for throwing are equipped with spears with wooden handles and iron heads. The regular soldiers of the United Kingdom of Avatha, including the heavy Avasa warriors, are equipped with steel spears with 3 diamond pointed cones that are trained by stone, the body of this spear is like a slender steel rod, but the head is very sharp and has a bloodletting groove, and the armor-piercing power is even stronger than the steel javelins equipped with the auxiliary cavalry of the sunset, and the difference between the spears equipped with the same two levels of troops is similar, and the Aihuasha 2nd line infantry is equipped with iron spears, Tier 1 and above are equipped with steel spears with bloodletting grooves, while the tower shield, which is a common defensive weapon in the Avatha class, is a hardwood shield for the 2nd tier and an iron shield or even a pure steel shield for the 1st tier.

The changes in the above three weapons are almost all changes in materials and crafting processes. The only one that has changed in the size of the weapon is the short sword, because the iron short sword used by the 2nd tier class has become the Morning Star after reaching the 1st tier class and even the elite class, which is often referred to as the mace. This situation is actually very easy to explain, after all, it is no longer the ancient Roman type of leather armor and inlaid armor. In the era when bronze armor and even iron armor were high-end goods, iron weapons were used as secondary equipment. Iron armor, plate armor, and heavy plate armor were the mainstream armor in the medieval era. How could a weapon like a short sword, which is so powerful and powerless, break through the armor worn by an enemy soldier and hit the flesh of the plate armor? So it was inevitable that the Roman dagger would be replaced by an armor-piercing hammer.

As for what the United Kingdom of Ewasa is not a country that focuses on the development of trade like the Commercial Alliance or the Bona Alliance, but it can equip the soldiers with equipment based on steel products, mainly because the Ehuatha Alliance occupies the most important fork in the Avenue of Egger: the West Branch Road that separates from the fork will lead to the Water Kirin Empire, and the South Branch Road leads to the 3 Duchy District and the Kingdom of Morta, The customs duties charged by the United Kingdom of Ihuasa at this bifurcation are sufficient to equip the troops of the United Kingdom of Ehuasa with better weapons.

The so-called formation is actually nothing more than a team of thousands of people assembled into a quadrangular formation. Let the Rus archers from the United Kingdom of Ihuasha with compound bows stay in the middle of the formation, and then let the Aihuasha infantry with spears and tower shields stand on the periphery of the formation, using the gap between the shields to stretch out their short spears to form a hedgehog-like shield wall, ready for the throwing that the spear-wielding Aihuasha infantry behind them is about to perform.

"Throw!" In the roar of the officers of Avatha. The orc warriors who had endured the continuous blows of arrows before, and were hit by the spears in the hands of the Avatha soldiers, these javelins were immediately turned into terrifying killing weapons after being thrown and dropped by the Avatha soldiers, and the orc warriors who rushed to the front, whether they were one or several, as long as the parts that were shot included the head, upper body and lower body, they all fell down in the next second and could no longer stand up, Because those Ehuatha's characteristic spears with bloodletting grooves were already piercing the orc warrior's body the next moment.

However, if Avatha only thought that this would stop the charge of the orc warriors, she was very wrong!

"Roar ........." A louder beast roar sounded, and the orc warrior, who was already extremely strong, not only did the muscles on his body swell up, but the meridians located in the epidermis were all raised, and even from the outside, these orcs seemed to have even the bones in their bodies become larger, making the body volume of the orc warrior much taller than before the madness, and the existence of a Naga warrior was comparable to that of a Naga warrior.

Looking at the shield wall like a hedgehog that was steaming with cold light in front of him, the orc warrior not only felt a trace of fear, but felt a ruthless energy spread from his head to his whole body, and under the horrified gaze of all the Avatha soldiers, his body broke through the shield wall formed by the Avatha soldiers.

The "Ah......." formation was defeated, and the human warriors of Ihuasha, who had lost the ability to cooperate in combat, could not defeat the orc warriors with strong individual combat strength, and those maces in the hands of the Ihuasha warriors may be a very threatening weapon for the human heavy infantry, but for these orc warriors who are tall and have entered a state of madness, it is actually like facing a small hammer, maybe this weapon can make you half dead if it hits your own vital point, but if you only hit the arm or something, The pain was like that, at least for the orc warriors who had entered a state of madness; As for the tower shields, which were extremely strong in the eyes of the soldiers of Avatha, in fact, the full force of the orc warriors could completely smash those tower shields from "I" to "V".

"Your Excellency the Great Prince, Your Excellency General, the forward army was ambushed by the Sunset Army in front, and the ambush should be the 3rd Orc Regiment in the Sunset Army, the current Orc soldiers have torn a hole in the front army, the situation is very critical, and the Commander of the Sidland Army has sent a distress message!" At this time, 20 miles away from the battle point between the Sunset Orc warriors and the Avasha troops, which numbered about 20,000 people, amid the sound of horses' hooves running and the sound of the boots worn by the soldiers stomping on the ground, a dusty-looking Avasha soldier came to the front of the two middle-aged men and said anxiously.

"Ambushed? Did the army that never set kill the kingdom of Mordan so quickly? Hearing the information from the herald, the younger of the two middle-aged people, the Aihuasha who had been called the eldest prince, said with a surprised expression, while the middle-aged man on the side, who looked more experienced and was called a general, although he did not have the eldest prince's gaffe, his brows were also tightly locked, and he said to the eldest prince beside him: "Your Excellency, I think that in this short period of less than 2 weeks, the kingdom of Mordan should not be eaten by the sun so quickly, if I am not mistaken, This force should be part of the forces that invaded the coastal area of the Water Qilin Empire before the sun never sets, and they should have bypassed all the cities and fortresses of Mordan and marched directly on the Iger Avenue. ”

"According to what you said, Your Excellency General, doesn't that mean that this army that never sets the sun is coming for us?" The eldest prince of the United Kingdom of Alvatha said with a bad face: "Are they trying to stop us from going to support Mordan?" ”

"And this can also show that it is estimated that the current imperial city of the Kingdom of Mordan is very likely to be surrounded by the army on which the sun never sets." The general of the United Kingdom of Avatha said with an ugly face: "Although the Imperial City of Mordan stands in the middle of the Great Lake and is surrounded by natural fortifications, my intuition tells me that if the Great Empire of the Sun Never Sets is attacked, it is very likely that it will be able to capture it in a short time, after all, the war equipment possessed by the Great Army of the Sun is one of the best in the King Continent......... By the way, Your Excellency, if I am not mistaken, it is estimated that we will no longer be able to continue on the route that we have drawn up before, so let the army withdraw from the forest and go down the Iger Avenue. ”

"Why is that, Your Excellency?"

"Since the army that never sets can ambush our army in the forest, it is estimated that the army that never sets has now mastered the movement of our army by some means, and if you continue to stay in the forest, you will only passively step by step into the trap of the army that never sets, and now instead of fighting the army that does not set on the sun in the complex terrain with the army that touches the terrain earlier than us, it is better to directly engage the soldiers on the more open and no one is good for anyone, and it will not be long before our heavy cavalry troops will come back to support."

"Understood, everything is subject to the arrangement of His Excellency the General." (To be continued.) For mobile phone users, please go to read. )
