Heroes of the Invincible Knight

The camps of the orcs stretched for dozens of miles, and the horses, traps, watchtowers and outer walls of civil structures were arranged in a very orderly manner. It was not easy to get the same benefits from the orcs as the Sea Clan.

Facing the arrangement of the orcs, there is actually no good way for the army except to attack by force. If there are only ordinary soldiers fighting against each other, they can only continue to fill the flesh and blood mill.

But the human army that is attacking now is different. Not only are they pushing traditional siege vehicles such as shield carts and rush carts, but also bombs that the orcs have never seen before are constantly falling on the orc camps.

"boom!"

"boom!"

"boom!"

The weight of the new mine bomb has not changed much. It is still ten kilograms of charge. The metal shell is sealed and filled with some messy iron slag. It is not a stupid guy like a trebuchet, but a human soldier who is responsible for throwing it. The giant on the side behind the lead rope directly grabbed the ten-jin explosive mine and threw it into the orc's camp.

At this time, the orc camp that was attacked by humans had already been bombed by hundreds of ten-jin bombs, and there were potholes everywhere, and several gaps appeared in the originally solid wooden walls.

Although the gunpowder after improving the formula ratio and realizing granulation is still not as good as the explosives of later generations, its power is still considerable. At least with the current power and stability, it is no longer useless when used in war. It has become a weapon.

And based on the idea that the power is not enough to fill in the weight, the bombs made by the Beidi Ordnance Factory have at least a ten-pound charge, and there are even large-scale bombs such as twenty or fifty catties, some of which fall to the ground and explode. The power is no less powerful than the shells of later generations.

The orcs didn't have any preparations to evade the guns. A large village where a legionn was stationed was plowed by hundreds of thunderbolts and became in disarray. Some of the horses blocked on the road were directly blown away. Wherever it went, it could be said that the defense capability of this stronghold was at least half destroyed by the bombing.

What's more serious is the blow to the soldiers in the village. When the thunder hits the ground, the huge power can take the orc soldiers five or six meters around to the sky. The heavy armor on them that can block the crossbow is very weak in the explosion. , the power of the shock can directly impact the orc warriors under heavy armor. Some orc warriors who fell to the ground in the explosion seemed to have no injuries on their bodies, but the cloth other than the armor was torn, and a small amount of blood flowed from the ears and nostrils. The internal organs have been shattered.

As for the shrapnel and iron sand splashed by the thunderstorm, the damage range is wider. The range of thirty to forty meters around the impact point is their damage radius. The slightly unlucky orc warriors were hit like honeycombs by the splashed iron sand. Even the iron armor can't stop the damage of this kind of shrapnel.

Several rounds of mines were thrown down, at least two or three thousand orc warriors were killed or injured in the camp, a small number were killed directly, and some were not injured by iron sand and shrapnel, but were injured by these iron sand soaked in strange liquids. , even if he does not die on the spot, there is a high probability of wound infection afterwards.

There were such heavy casualties before the hand-to-hand combat. The morale of the orcs at this time can be imagined. The morale that was not too high because of the long-distance raid on the city and the long-term failure, now fell directly to the bottom.

It is reasonable to say that hundreds of mine explosions should not cause such heavy losses to the orcs, but the orcs have no experience in dealing with mine explosions. The well-regulated camps they set up are always aimed at the army with cold weapons. Can avoid most explosion damage.

Many orc warriors didn't even do the most basic movements of lying on the ground when the thunder fell. They just stood there in a daze and were swept away by the iron sand and shrapnel, completely without the awareness of prevention.

It was only later that they discovered that the more they gathered, the higher the possibility of being attacked by thunderstorms, which caused the orc fighters to subconsciously disperse. Instead of learning to lie down on the ground to reduce the probability of being injured, they first learned to form a loose formation There should be a lot of talents gathered around the dilapidated wooden wall, but now there are not many orc warriors stationed there.

"Get up, don't lie on the ground!"

"Orcs don't need cowards! Go back to your place!"

"Supervisor team! Supervisor team!"

"All soldiers who leave their positions without authorization and run around in the camp are executed immediately, and all soldiers lying on the ground are guilty of the same crime!"

The leader of the orc army commanding here obviously doesn't know how to be flexible. Even though the mine explosion caused a large number of casualties to the soldiers, they still follow the old rules of discipline. The soldiers are not allowed to disperse or lie on the ground to avoid damage.

After all, deserters lying on the ground and pretending to be dead are easy to appear in wars, so in the eyes of most officers, lying on the ground is basically equated with deserters.

At the request of the head of the legion, some soldiers were hacked to death by the guards who supervised the battle, and the other part stood up and gathered together tremblingly, continuing to bear the huge damage caused by the mine explosion, until the head of the Orc Banner, a powerful warrior, was directly killed. The thunder that fell beside him turned into a hornet's nest, causing the entire flag group to collapse.

The head of the Orc Banner was also in bad luck. The mine explosion did not cause little damage to ordinary soldiers, but it was actually not a big threat to an officer of the level of a great warrior.

Unlike in modern warfare, officers are also mortal, and generals can't withstand an ordinary 7.62. The orc officers are all physically fit several times the ordinary soldiers, and the superhumans who master the fighting spirit have thicker armor than ordinary soldiers. Quite a few. Whether it is defense, physique and reaction speed, they are not at the same level as ordinary soldiers.

The lethality of the mine explosion is only at the primary level of gunpowder weapons, and it has not developed to the insane power of the latter.

Some of the iron sand that splashed out before hit the big orc warrior was blocked by him with his battle ax in advance, missing some of the armor that penetrated his body, and the kinetic energy basically reached the limit, and basically got stuck In terms of muscles, it can still be squeezed out after the fighting energy is running, basically there is no serious problem.

Therefore, during the explosion, these officers were able to look calmer, and they could stand upright in the flying clods of iron sand and the flames of the explosion, which could also play a role in stabilizing the morale of the army.

However, due to the different lengths of the fuzes, a 20-pound thunderbolt accidentally exploded in the air less than a foot away from the head of the Orc Banner.

The head of the Orc Banner at the center of the explosion almost withstood the full power of the mine. The iron sand and shrapnel hit his body like a honeycomb. There were densely packed small holes on the original fine armor, and blood flowed down the small holes on the iron armor. Oozed out.

The worst thing was the head, the shrapnel almost cut the whole face into a plane, because of the strong vitality of the great warrior, after being knocked down by the thunder, the head of the orc banner even struggled on the ground, and the surrounding orc soldiers were still planning to He went up to the rescue, but the second bomb fell, which made him completely dead, and the soldiers under him were also completely shattered by this bomb.

After the death of the head of the orc banner, more than 4,000 orc warriors could no longer maintain their formation and began to evade on their own. Even the personal guards who supervised the battle stopped going up to force the soldiers and let the troops in the camp run around. Be smarter. Some lay down on the ground to protect their heads, and those who didn't understand the situation even got into the tents of the camp.

In short, the orc soldiers in the entire battalion fell into chaos after the first mine attack, and the erroneous command of the orc army leader made this chaos irreversible.

And at this time, it was also a good time to attack. An orc camp that had been waiting in full battle now completely opened its arms to the attacking human army.

…

"Stop throwing bombs, the First Banner Regiment is attacking."

"yes!"

The general who is directing the attack is Quayle. He is considered to be the fastest-growing general under Richard's command. The main attack started, and the orc camp stuck in their main attack route was the first target he wanted to take down.

Although it's not the first time Quill has seen Thunder Explosion, there is still a big difference between the usual experimental observation and the sense in actual combat. At least the power and effect are greater than what he imagined.

However, the power of the thunder bomb thrown on the orc's head is of course the greater the better, and the other party is not given a chance to react. After hundreds of bombs blasted the opponent to the ground, Quill immediately ordered the ground army to launch an attack. Offensive.

"Come on!"

Thousands of soldiers who served as the vanguard rushed into the orc camp without any difficulty, but only a few of the arrows that were supposed to fly densely fell on the heads of these soldiers, and the refusal horses blocking the way were quickly lifted away. No orc soldiers came up to stop them.

Even the originally solid wall of the village is a little dilapidated, at least there are a few big holes that several people can pass through.

The attacking First Banner Regiment was still not satisfied. Before they got close to the wall of the village, a group of soldiers brought several hundreds of catties of gunpowder packs and pasted them first.

"Prepare to explode, everyone avoid!"

"quick!"

After the improvement of gunpowder, Li Cha proposed a variety of methods to be used on the battlefield, and then various generals repeatedly demonstrated and tried them out. The original big gun and the artillery that has always been ineffective have not yet come out of the experimental field.

But the most basic application method has been practiced almost. This method of burying a large amount of gunpowder directly under the camp, igniting it and blasting it has been tried many times. The soldiers responsible for burying the gunpowder have also been trained for a period of time.

Because there was basically no resistance from the orcs on the periphery, the process of burying the gunpowder was extremely smooth, and it took only about ten minutes to fill the prepared gunpowder packs to the bottom of the wall.

The soldiers in charge of the explosion ignited the fuze after the surrounding soldiers retreated hundreds of meters away and lay on the ground, and a loud bang erupted ten seconds later.

Thick black smoke rose tens of meters high, and could be seen almost from the entire battlefield. The orc soldiers who were still behind the wall probably couldn't even find a whole body at this moment.

"Rush in."

"kill!"

The officer in command didn't wait for the black smoke to dissipate completely. He knew very well that after that amount of gunpowder exploded, it would be impossible for this kind of earth and wood stockade built in a few days to withstand it.

A group of human soldiers rushed into the orc camp almost unscathed in the thick black smoke.

At this time, the orc camp was still in chaos. Facing the human soldiers rushing up, most of them turned around and ran without resistance. Soldiers who lost their will to fight could not have fighting power, even if these orc warriors On average, they are a whole head taller than human fighters.

"Line up! Block these humans!"

"Explode mine, throw it!"

"boom!"

"boom!"

The army at least entered the orc camp for nearly 500 meters before finally encountering decent resistance. The leader of the orc army brought his personal guards and gathered thousands of soldiers around him, facing the human soldiers who invaded the camp. go.

Despite the fact that there are only a thousand orc soldiers, it is not easy to eliminate them with a banner group. If the orc soldiers do not lose their fighting spirit, even the most elite human army will not be able to get any advantage in a frontal battle.

However, the human soldiers who acted as the vanguard did not use the familiar routine of the orcs. Instead of charging with a big gun after firing all bows and crossbows, they threw hundreds of small thunderbolts as soon as they came up.

These bombs of less than two catties are not large in charge, but they are superior in that they are large in number and they are thrown accurately. They fell into the pile of orcs and exploded after being separated by tens of meters, causing a wave of chaos. Dozens of orcs were blown up. dead wounded.

However, these orcs who followed the legion leader obviously had a stronger will to fight. After being thrown by the mine for a while, they did not collapse, but still gritted their teeth and continued to move forward.

"Rush over and mingle with these humans."

"kill!"

The orc commander finally issued a correct order at this time, and the orcs no longer stick to any formation at this time, holding weapons and charging forward.

"clang!"

"clang!"

"Hey!"

The two sides fought fiercely together, the steel collided with blood, and the orc finally had a chance to erupt after being suppressed to the extreme by the thunder.

"boom!"

"boom!"

At the time when the fighting between the two sides was the most intense, twenty giants also joined the battle. With a wave of weapons in the hands of these ten-meter-high giants, they easily swept away the orc warriors. The giant rushed all over.

"kill!"

"clang!"

The head of the orc army who was originally in charge also joined the battle in person at this moment. With the strength of the earth, he jumped more than ten meters high, and raised the battle ax in his hand to strike the giant in front of him. It's just that before the tomahawk fell, it was blocked by the short spear in the giant's hand. The giant looked huge and cumbersome, but in fact his movements were not slow at all.

After blocking a blow, he swiped hard and threw the head of the orc army more than ten meters away. The strength of the giant was far beyond what the head of the earth-level army could contend with.

The attack by the head of the orc army also completely exposed himself, and the giant who knocked him into the air immediately realized the importance of his identity, and subsequent attacks followed one after another.

"Boom!", "Boom!"

Two thunderclaps exploded, and two bolts of lightning fell without warning under the call of the Titan, and precisely hit the head of the orc legion who had just landed. The head of the orc legion immediately became numb after being struck by lightning, and his hair was scorched black. He fell to the ground and twitched slightly, and he didn't know whether it was due to his strong body and not yet dead, or because of the natural twitching phenomenon of the corpse after being struck by lightning.

Originally, if there is no corresponding strong man to deal with the top arms such as giants, it is necessary to send enough soldiers to serve as cannon fodder.

But the orc warriors in this orc camp have been completely confused by the bombing, and the command is half-paralyzed. How can they organize an army to besiege the giant.

And just now, the leader of the orc army who was trying to restore order to the chaotic army, who blocked the human army, also fell under the lightning of the titan.

The orcs in the camp were completely in chaos...
