*******************

The leaders of the rhino and hippo people, Nepangu and Ulitan, also had gloomy faces at this time.

When they had repulsed the human infantry phalanx, they thought that they were sure of victory today and that the next battle would be the same as before.

The light cavalry went up to harass and bite the human rear troops, waiting for them to catch up with infantry combat elites such as tauren, pig-headed men, lion-men, and leopard-headed men, and kill the tired human soldiers one by one.

Eat.

They have used this battle mode countless times, and it can be said that it has been tried and tested. In the end, the human army will change from tired soldiers to frightened birds, and then they will be surrounded by them in sections, eating them one by one, and the last one will not be able to escape.

But reality gave them a slap in the face. The humans didn't know what kind of weapons they used, but they directly covered the battlefield and blocked backup.

This turned them, who were already confident of victory, into a lone army in danger. If the enemy were the armies of ordinary human kingdoms, they would not be afraid.

But the army opposite came from the famous Riverrun City. It was an elite division trained by the Death God of Riverrun City, and its combat effectiveness was extremely powerful.

Moreover, the cooperation between the various arms is extremely tacit, and their combat effectiveness is even comparable to that of the most elite Knights of the Holy See!

From this point of view, leaving aside how to eliminate human beings, the question that should be concerned about is whether they can return safely today.

Now they discovered that the appearance on the battlefield was no longer that they were an infantry phalanx chasing humans, but that they had become a turtle in a urn with a lone army deep in and their retreat route cut off!

Although those human light cavalry are like annoying mosquitoes, you cannot underestimate these mosquitoes. Every time they circle around the orc formation, they will kill hundreds of orcs.

If it were in the past, the fast leopard-headed men and the muscular lion-men would have jumped out to drive away these light cavalry. Even if they could not kill a few, they would not be allowed to be so arrogant.

But at this time, they did not dare to go into battle at all, because the heavy cavalry in black clothes and armor behind the human light cavalry were like a hammer hanging above their heads.

They knew that if they jumped out of the orc formation, they would be smashed to pieces by this hammer in an instant.

Nepangu and Wulitan stood in the middle of the orc formation, looking at the human infantry phalanx in front of them. They could no longer care about the heavy armored cavalry around them.

What they were thinking about was how to launch a middle attack and defeat the human infantry phalanx in front, because currently it seemed that this infantry phalanx was their biggest threat.

Defeating them will also defeat the enemy's courage. No matter how powerful the heavy armor cavalry is, they will not dare to tease their tiger beards.

Only by defeating this infantry phalanx would they be able to return alive from here today. As for killing all the humans in front, they no longer considered it at this time.

"It looks like a death squad is going to be organized!"

Wulitan looked at the tightly arranged human infantry phalanx in front and said to Nipangu. Nipangu also nodded in agreement.

They had fought against this human infantry phalanx before, and knew that it would be impossible if they did not fight tooth and nail at this time. Without the death squads taking the lead, it would be even more impossible to defeat this human phalanx.

But just as they were discussing who should join the death squad, there was a commotion from the human side.

The two people immediately squeezed to the front of the formation and looked in the direction of the human infantry phalanx in the distance.

In the passage between several human infantry phalanxes, there were human soldiers pushing more than twenty wooden carts towards the front of the formation.

Soon these wooden carts were pushed to the front of the human infantry phalanx, about three hundred meters away from the orc formation.

And what is placed on these wooden carts is the big yellow crossbow specially made by Xiao Feng!

These big yellow crossbows are different from the single-operated big yellow crossbows used in the Han Dynasty. This is a giant crossbow that requires three or four people to operate. It can even be said to be a crossbow.

A cross-shaped crossbow made of strong steel sheets, and then used several kinds of rattan unique to this planet, rolled into hemp, and then soaked in oil to make a strong bow string, plus Xiao

The aiming system brought over from the modern world makes this ballista truck very powerful.

Moreover, the slideway under the crossbow string is divided into different calibers according to different needs and can be replaced at any time.

The thin slide is specially used to place crossbow arrows, while the thick slide can be used to place chain hammers, and the thicker slide can be used to place special fire oil tanks.

Therefore, this ballista can fire different weapons according to different battlefield conditions. Although the process is complex and the cost is expensive, in the era of cold weapons, this is definitely a value-for-money melee weapon.

It can even be said that Xiao Feng saw the Rhino Man earlier, a half-orc warrior whose physical fitness was several times stronger than that of a human being, and came up with a weapon specifically to deal with them.

More than twenty ballistae carts were pushed in front of the human formation, and soon more than a dozen fierce fire oil tanks were pushed in front of these ballistae carts.

In front of these vehicle formations, human soldiers soon began to place tall, barbed horses.

Wulitan and Nepangu didn't know the purpose of the strange cars introduced by humans. The only thing they knew was the fire-breathing oil tank truck.

However, seeing many human soldiers busy in those cars, they felt a serious sense of crisis in their hearts. It must be a secret weapon specially prepared by humans to deal with them, and it must not be very powerful.

Small.

No, I can't continue to sit here and wait for death.

"O Lei, Du Ding, you are fast. Lead the team up and charge. We can't let them put up all the shelves."

Wu Litan greeted the leader of the lion man next to him and said to the leader of the leopard man. Although the leopard man is also an upper-class noble in the orc tribe, his bloodline is obviously incomparable with that of the hippopotamus, rhinoceros and lion man, so their leader

Duding didn't dare to say anything.

The Lion Man is on par with the Hippopotamus and Rhinoceros. They are truly high-ranking nobles, and even have a nobler bloodline than the Hippopotamus and Rhinoceros. At this time, being shouted around by these two stupid and thick guys, their leader Orei

I felt very unhappy.

But Orei still had a sense of the overall situation. The group of humans in front of them who were busy on the wooden carriage also made them feel the danger.

The lion man and the leopard-headed man didn't say much. They quickly picked out about 200 elite soldiers, quickly broke away from the orc formation, and rushed towards the humans.

Unfortunately, this charge did not go smoothly from the beginning. As soon as they came out of the formation, they were immediately bitten by human light cavalry.

The human light cavalry quickly followed up with their small group, and instead of confronting them head-on, they just surrounded them and fired arrows continuously.

Various powerful bows and crossbows caused a lot of damage to this group of lions and leopard-headed men, but after all, they were big cats that were good at running.

At a distance of three hundred meters, which was just a few breaths, they had already rushed forward, and were about to jump over the horses and rush into the car formation.

The fire oil tank in the front row suddenly went berserk, and fire dragons were sprayed out. The big cats leaping into the air quickly turned into barbecues, and fell from the sky screaming.

This situation made Ulitan and Nepangu heartbroken. They could not wait any longer, otherwise the weapons on the human carts would have to be debugged.

At this time, the ballistae on the big yellow ballistae were basically ready.

The slide that previously launched the giant crossbow has been replaced with a thicker slide, and the human operator has used a winch to string the crossbow.

Soon an ammunition man took out a round stone bullet the size of a lead ball from the wooden barrel next to it and put it into the slot.

The shooter behind immediately began to adjust his aim...

At this time, the orc formation finally moved and rushed towards the human car formation.

Wulitan kept scanning the surrounding Orc warriors and shouted loudly to boost their morale.

"Come on! Rush over with all your strength and defeat the battle formation of those bastards. I'll give everyone extra food tonight!"

"Come on, break into the mountain city. Everyone will be promoted to the third level. As a reward, we will reward three female slaves and thirty slaves..."

He had just finished shouting and had just turned his head when suddenly a black shadow roared in front of him with the sound of wind, and he didn't even have time to dodge.

The black shadow that was all beating him hit him hard in the face. It was said that the leader of the hippo people had his brains exploded and he died on the spot...

Xiao Feng personally tested the power of this crossbow. After it was built, the power was not much weaker than in the TV series. The strong steel crossbow body, coupled with the elastic crossbow string, made this big yellow crossbow very effective.

The range can reach 500 meters.

It even has a farther range than many modern small-caliber rifles, not to mention its lethality.

A stone bullet the size of a shot put within 300 meters will not cut a human into two pieces on the spot if hit by one. Even a thick-skinned orc will only be killed by a hiccup if hit by a bullet.

end.

And today this Ulitan is the first senior Orc general to be killed by this weapon!

Wulitan's death caused the group of orcs in front of them to charge bravely, and quickly exhausted all their courage.

Because then countless stone bullets flew into their front camp. The group of rhino and hippopotamus people rushing at the front became the best targets because of their tall size.

But these guys, who are usually known for their tall and strong bodies, were completely defenseless against the stone bullets the size of lead balls.
