Summoning Total War

Chapter 82 Roar! King Kong! (middle)

A violent storm!

As the Mammoth Legion joined the battle, the situation on the battlefield suddenly changed astonishingly!

Led by Moti, the eight male mammoths who were incorporated into the main battle force of the War Elephant Legion screamed and faced the approaching Mokodo war beast. The other four petite female mammoths walked two on each side towards the two-wing battlefield that was undergoing the general attack of the orcs.

Although these female mammoths are not large in size, no matter how small they are, they are still branches of saber-toothed elephants. Even the smallest one is more than four and a half meters tall.

How does this height translate to modern times?

If it is a building in the countryside, it will be a little more than one floor. If it is a commercial building in the city, it will be one and a half floors.

If there is no specific concept, then you can shrink them a little and fit them into the mammoths that appeared in the decisive battle between orcs and humans in "The Lord of the Rings Trilogy"!

The mammoths that appeared in the decisive battle in the "Lord of the Rings Trilogy" and the war elephants tamed by Murphy are actually from the same branch, and both belong to the saber-toothed elephant.

The only difference is that he can't reach that height physically.

………………

Facing a giant creature that is five meters tall and weighs more than ten tons, it is walking towards you.

what will you do?

Should he stay where he was and be trampled to death by it, or should he stay far away?

Under the control of riders, four female mammoths ran happily among the army of orcs. Surrounding them were like waves stirred up by boulders, and countless orc warriors were easily knocked away and trampled. These behemoths, which weigh more than ten tons alone, possess almost terrifying power, let alone humanoid intelligent creatures such as humans and orcs. At this time, even a real earth dragon may not be able to compete with the most lethal saber-toothed elephant among these mammoths!

Unlike the rider of the scythe chariot, the war elephant legion has only one rider, and they are all equipped with well-equipped demi-armor.

The height of the mammoth can help these war elephant riders effectively avoid melee damage. After all, unless they have abnormal skills like the Elf Prince in "The Lord of the Rings Trilogy", otherwise they must attack the riders riding on the war elephants. Use remote attack methods. These sophisticated half-body armors are designed to help riders resist long-range damage such as arrows.

The impact of the mammoth made the orcs' front line roll like a wave!

These mammoths, with thick skin and thick flesh and covered with large areas of armored leaves, cannot be solved by ordinary means at all. Even a powerful orc warrior is nothing more than a tiny creature in front of them. With just a slight bump or a trample, no matter how elite the Orc warrior is, he will be killed on the spot!

The equipment on these mammoths is not very good.

Because Murphy had only recently successfully tamed them, due to the short taming time, the arrow towers and armors equipped with these war elephants had not had time to be completed. In the end, Murphy had no choice but to string together the blades of the scales and then cover them over a large area to increase defense capabilities. Fortunately, the strength of these mammoths is amazing. If other creatures were covered with iron pieces weighing more than 800 kilograms, they might not even have to think about walking.

The body is covered with iron sheets weighing more than 800 kilograms.

You can think of it as an ancient version of half-body armor.

………………

Under the impact of the war elephants, the Orc army was in chaos, and the Athenian soldiers took the opportunity to cover up and kill the enemy.

Because of the heavy rain, the longbowmen had completely lost their effectiveness.

They put on spears and shields and began to serve as the third-tier auxiliary legion to assist the Greek hoplites in killing the enemy. The heavy rain could no longer wash away the rich blood on the ground, and the piles of corpses had even begun to hinder the soldiers' footsteps. The orc soldiers who began to collapse under the impact of the war elephants and the Athenian counterattack were carried by the corpses, and then trampled on by their fleeing companions, and then they could not get up again.

trample!

That's right, trampling.

Because of the heavy rain, not only Murphy's command system completely collapsed, but the Orc Chief's command was also completely ineffective.

The ancient war songs of the shamans could not be transmitted at all in the heavy rain.

And then, the amplification effect they brought completely disappeared. The rain washed away the excitement in the hearts of the orc warriors, and the cold chill coming from their bodies also made their fighting spirit begin to decline.

Yes.

A heavy rain left no room for the Athenian longbowmen to perform, but it also rendered the orc shamans useless.

Even if they beat the drums more crazily, the amplification effect they bring is still gone!

The sound of the rain-soaked war drums was even a bit ridiculous.

There is no command at all!

The chain of command is in complete chaos!

Under the heavy rain, only things within ten meters nearby could be clearly seen, and the sound was masked by the dense rain. The soldiers could only hear the orders of the captain and the flag bearer at most.

By this time, the role of military discipline was very clearly demonstrated.

There are orders from war drums and restrictions from generals.

Orc warriors were able to compete with the Athenian soldiers before. But after the chain of command collapsed, especially after lower-ranking officers were killed in large numbers. They were completely confused and had no command at all. The fighting method of Orc officers is to lead the way. This fighting method can greatly boost the morale of the army, because Orcs respect and worship the strong. But as a result, the lower-ranking officers had been exhausted in the previous battle, and even the shaman's drum call was obscured by the sound of rain.

Since then, the orc army has become like a headless fly.

If it weren't for the advantage of huge numbers, I'm afraid they would have been defeated long ago.

But the Athenian soldiers were different.

Spartan warriors value discipline and honor above life!

This idea also influenced other warriors in Athens. The fighting style of the entire Greek civilization was formed with strict discipline and cooperation. Otherwise, the so-called Greek phalanx is simply a joke. From the general to the captain to the rider to the captain (the Greeks organized a team of eighty people and a group of ten, equivalent to a captain of ten), the entire Greek army had strict organization and discipline. So although there is no way to receive the military orders passed down by Murphy, these lower-level officers can still command the soldiers to launch a counterattack based on their own judgment!

………………

In the center of the battle formation.

Under the heavy rain, the functions of the flag bearer and herald were all rendered useless.

The field of vision was obstructed by the dense rain curtain, and now even Murphy himself could not tell the direction and could not find his men.

Up to this point in this war, we can only fish in troubled waters with our heads covered!
