Chapter 88 Battle of the Hammer (4)
"Everyone has it! Speed up! Take the barracks in front!" In the center of the area where orc prisoners were imprisoned inside the shelter, Lao Tang, who was fully armed like a moving fortress, roared and shook his long legs and rushed forward. Behind him were the gladiators who had just robbed the armory of the arena. More than 300 armed gladiators were armed with helmets and crowns, holding sharp blades, and the aggressive follower Lao Tang rushed to the orc detention area closest to the arena.
Lao Tang, who had already found out the information near this area, set his first raid at the equipment warehouse of the arena from the beginning. As an armory dedicated to providing competition equipment and weapons for the gladiators, although the equipment inventory in the warehouse is not as piled up, it is more than enough to arm a small team of 300 people! The gladiators who obtained armor and hand-held equipment were all like tigers, and their fierce and ferocious aura was faintly revealed!
Perhaps it was because the massive siege of the orcs outside the city attracted the attention of most people; perhaps it was because the orc slaves in the shelter on weekdays, the listless walking corpse performance was too deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, but humans relaxed their vigilance, and there were very few guards guarding the arena and prisoner-of-war camps! In short, until Lao Tang led a group of gladiators who could not suppress their desire for fighting and vengeance, they robbed the armory, and did not encounter any decent resistance. Several human patrol teams organized by more than a dozen people as teams were torn to pieces by the furious orc warriors without using Lao Tang's move!
Now, the gladiator team led by Lao Tang is finally facing a real challenge.
In front of us is an area where some orc slaves are imprisoned. Only those strong orcs and young orcs will be arranged here to work hard and do some heavy physical work to earn funds to subsidize the expenses of the shelter. However, this is just a statement to the outside world. The water here is getting bigger! Only a small part of the orcs and laborers worked hard to create wealth was cashed out to the defenders, and most of them were stuffed into the pockets of the greedy managers of the shelter! In any case, there are indeed tens of thousands of adult male orcs here being detained here, repeating boring but heavy work day and night.
However, no matter how the orcs lose their fighting spirit, they are as energetic as eggplants on doubles, they are still tens of thousands of young and strong! Even in order to prevent or maintain discipline, the shelter managers still arrange an infantry brigade here. Now this team of 1,200 humans is blocking the way for Lao Tang and his group of gladiators to advance! If you want to rescue the orc slaves imprisoned in this area, you can't escape this tough battle!
Looking at the human barracks not far away and at the human infantry formation that was already waiting for the front, Old Tang was still a little confused to tell the truth.
The one who followed him at this moment was not the elite taurus he brought out with him in his own hands! With such a huge gap in numbers, it is still unknown how much combat effectiveness these gladiators teams who cooperated with him for the first time can exert! Although the individual combat power of orc warriors is still one step higher than that of humans, in the face of such a huge gap in numbers, Old Tang dared not expect these gladiators to be able to win ten! After all, not everyone is used to fighting against the mortal enemy of the centaur for generations like the Taurus! They can also deal with the tactics of the sea of people calmly without any pressure!
Lao Tang is still not sure whether he and the orc warriors can win this battle, and whether the gladiators under his command can complete their mission! Although these battle-hardened gladiators all look extremely brave and have a much higher level of strength than their opponents, the battle on the battlefield is not a simple number game!
Even if a hero-level master is not careful, he will capsize in the gutter and be killed by an old farmer without any power. His strength and rank do not represent everything in the magical land of Azeroth! Perhaps the battle will be the first defeat since the time travel! But now it is like an arrow on the string that has to be fired! This battle must be fought and won! Otherwise, with high morale now, this mission can be concluded in advance to complete failure! Since Lao Tang counts, one of the teams counts one, and they have to be dispossed here today!
Fortunately, the team led by orc gladiators at the beginning of the battle dispelled Lao Tang's doubts and uneasiness, and the scene of Lao Tang's worry did not happen!
Out of the expectations of the alliance officer and Lao Tang, the two armies of the warring sides began to contact, and the smaller gray-green quadrons continued to advance, split, gather, and move forward again! The silver-white quadrons, which were several times more numerous than those of the opponent, were not at all. On the contrary, the forwards of the thick silver-white quadrons were constantly shrinking, splitting, and retreating, and gradually being eroded by gray-green! These gladiators who have gained rich combat experience from life-and-death duels are extremely brave and fearless in battle! The weapons in their hands are like commands, and the swords are bloody!
With Lao Tang's order, more than 240 orc warriors swept into the crowds like a sudden blow of green whirlwind, and immediately rushed down a large area of the dense infantry phalanx, swept across the sword and axe, and swept across the heavy hammer! Blood splattered, broken bones and broken tendons! The miserable howling sounded in the battlefield one after another!
The assault force composed of more than 30 tall and powerful ogres was led by Lao Tang himself and charged violently to the center of the formation of the opposite human infantry brigade! There, a military flag of the rapids; there, the commander of this human infantry was commanding the soldiers under his command to stabilize the defense line!
Old Tang decided to capture the thief and capture the king first!
The physical strength of human beings is not as good as orcs and dwarves, and is far from powerful races like Taurus and Ogres; human beings’ talent in spells is not as good as the night elves of nature, let alone the arcane darling high elves; even with the fit and belief in the holy light, most ordinary people are far away by the Draenei people who have the help of Naru! But why is such a nation one of the two most powerful races in Azeroth? Why is such a race becoming the mainstay of such a large alliance? Why is human troops listed among Azeroth's world-class courage? Population and skills are only one aspect. In-depth research on tactics and military formations, strict discipline and tacit cooperation are the key to everything!
Humans, who are unique in the world in terms of military formation and unity and cooperation, even when fighting a large army of orcs with similar forces, have the possibility of victory! Now facing this human infantry brigade in front of them, only by paralyzing its command first will you have a chance of victory!
Just as the two sides were fighting, the orc slaves in the prisoner-of-war camp behind the human army also began to move! More and more orcs in the camp walked out of their dilapidated shelter and came to the wooden fence that restricted their freedom of movement! There were faint quarrels and roars in the orc crowd, and these sounds became louder and louder!
The shouts, roars and noise on the battlefield covered everything. The soldiers on both sides of the melee could no longer care about the changes in the situation and the hidden dangers. All they could do was roar loudly at the other party, do their best to send the weapons in their hands into the other party's body, and try their best to avoid the sharp blades stabbed towards them.
In the face-to-face confrontation, the enemy's face and expressions were infinitely amplified in his eyes, and sweat mixed with blood was scattered in front of him, and it was impossible to tell whether it was the enemy's blood or his own blood. Blindly, mechanically waving everything in his hand became the only reflection of the soldiers. The shouts, wailings, and sharp commands became the only melody on the battlefield, either the enemy was knocked down or the enemy was knocked down...
"Hurry, go and ask for help from the garrison troops. Everyone scatters, go and ask for help!" The human major commanding more than a thousand light infantry stationed here was sweating on his forehead. The small orcs on the opposite side were unexpectedly brave and difficult. Since the battle, the soldiers under his command showed signs of decline. The garrison troops, which were several times the number of the opponent, were faintly suppressed and beaten by the opponent! Leading by the unknown figure tightly wrapped in armor, those big ogres quickly approached the center of the team, looking like they were trying to kill the general and seize the flag!
Seeing that the situation was not good, he quickly called his subordinates to come and ask for help.
Soon, several soldiers ran to the horse shed at the entrance of the camp in panic, and led a few spare horses and immediately turned over the horse. At this time, an abnormality had appeared in the camp, and it seemed a little confusion, but the soldiers could not care about so many. They just glanced at it and slapped their horses' buttocks, and ran towards the camp of the Rapids Fort garrison army at the city gate...
———————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
Just as Lao Tang led more than 300 gladiators to attack the quadruple-fold human infantry formation with his own side, another fierce collision under the shelter's city wall was about to take place.
"Open the city gate! The Knights attack!" The old marshal Joseph Taroka waved his arm suddenly and issued a battle order loudly. His guards and commanders ran down the city tower quickly and conveyed the order of the marshal to his robes!
"Open the city gate! The Knights attack!"
"Open the city gate! The Knights attack!"
The surging army of orcs made many new recruits who had just joined the army and turned pale with shock!
Faced with such a situation, as the supreme commander of the human defenders here, Marshal Joseph Taroka finally had no choice but to deploy his strongest power, five thousand heavy knights in advance! Try to shock the orcs with this and increase his morale at the same time! Tell the new recruits to use facts that orcs are also flesh and blood, and they can be killed, and there is nothing to be scary! Otherwise, it would not take long for the new recruits in the legion to lose their will to fight! Even if these elite cavalry are dispatched again, it would be useless!
With the order of the old marshal, the heavy city gate slowly opened, and more than 5,000 cavalrymen rushed out from the open city gate in an orderly manner! The human knights who were cycling towards the orc army neatly like the sea tide, reflected the dim morning light and emitted a large dazzling light, almost illuminating this dim world.
"Hmph! The heavy cavalry of human cubs!" Grom Hellscream was driving the black war wolf under his seat and galloping in front of the green wave. Looking at this scene, I felt a little solemn, but I snorted coldly with disdain on my face.
"Grom! Bring all the wolf cavalry with me to entangle them! No matter what method you use, don't let them attack the army's main formation!" The tribal chief Orgrim * The Hammer of Destruction led his people and soldiers to deal with these human heavy cavalry during the two orc wars! As a wise commander with outstanding military achievements and rich experience, the Hammer of Destruction will naturally not underestimate the power of the human heavy cavalry.
However, he also firmly believed that his good boys would bring him victory! Even when facing the Royal Knights of the Storm Kingdom and the Lordaeron Kingdom led by the Paladins in the hands of Silver, both sides won and lost each other! Orc Wolf Cavalry was not afraid of any challenges!
"The warriors of the tribe, follow me to charge! Give those pink skins a little more powerful look!" Hells roared, and he pulled the reins of the wolf under his crotch and roared like thunder! He was the first to run out of the orc army formation, holding his battle axe high and roaring to the sky:
"For the tribe! lok-ta
oga
!!!”
"For the tribe! lok-ta
oga
!!!” Thousands of orc wolf knights followed their heroes, raised their heads and let out the roar of fighting, and broke out wildly from the army array. Nearly six thousand orc wolf cavalry gathered into a violent green wave and swarmed towards their opponents, as if they were about to sweep everything!
The loud shouts and roars resounded throughout the fields!
At this time, the distance between the human knights and the orc wolf cavalry was about 1,200 yards.
"Everyone has... carry a gun and move forward in shattered steps!" With the middle-aged Paladin and General Duzell, the commander of the heavy cavalry unit of the Human Legion, gave the order, five thousand heavy knights neatly picked off the steel spears that were two meters long hanging on the horse, and led the majestic horses to trot neatly in shattered steps.
When the distance between the two sides was about 500 yards, the final order was issued.
"Everyone has it, raise the gun..." Paladin Duzel's order had just been shouted. With a "swish", all the steel spears held by the knights of the five thousand heavy cavalry regiments were raised upwards, the gun rod was clamped under his armpits, and the sharp spear head with a cold light pointed at the sky.
The two armies advanced, and within a short time they had already collided. The two armies of human knights and orc wolf cavalry suddenly turned over and over!
The impact of war horses is far from that of Kodo beasts; the explosive power of war horses is not as good as that of wolves! But why can human cavalry be famous in the world? Why do even orc wolf cavalry face the front and avoid the edge? This is the reason! When thousands of heavy-armed iron cavalry raise their spears and set off their formations to charge, the powerful momentum that comes to the face can never be understood by anyone who has not experienced it personally or dealt with it in person! Even the bravest soldier will feel cold in his heart, and even the most fearless warriors can't help but wince! This has nothing to do with courage, it's just a simple instinctive reaction of creatures!
The knights on both sides kept piercing the enemy's bodies with their spears and battle axes in their hands, cutting off the enemy's heads, or watching their bodies pierce and dismembering them! Fierce steel collisions one after another, and the huge impact force of the human heavy cavalry was creating blood and death at an astonishing speed. After sprinting continuously into the enemy's formation, the human knights threw away the spears strung with the enemy's bodies in their hands, drew out the sword and saber, and began a crazy slash and slashing at close range!
When the war horses of both sides completely collided and intertwined, the wild charge speed of the war horses was gradually offset and slowly decreased. At this time, the knight's spear lost its function in the chaotic battlefield, and everyone began to pull out their melee weapons to fight. At this time, the one who had the advantage was replaced by the orc wolf knights!
The extremely explosive wolf flickered and moved in the narrow space, flying and biting! His sharp claws and teeth were used to the extreme, looking for the vital points of the chest, abdomen and neck of the warhorse! The orc warriors who survived the dense spear like a forest also waved the sharp axe and heavy hammer in their hands, and were brave and brave, fearless of death! Every time the battle axe swung, it would bring a handful of blood and broken limbs; every time the war hammer swept, it would break the opponent's bones and tendons! Death and killing are still happening, but this time the one who had the upper hand was replaced by the weaker one just now!
In such a close situation, the orc wolf knights who had just been suppressed slowly gained the upper hand. After paying the heavy price of blood and life, they reduced the impact of the human heavy cavalry, tightly entangled the opponent, and completed the mission assigned to them by the chief!
The warriors of the tribe defend their glory with blood!
The first orc battle general Grom Hellscream was strong and his martial arts were superb! He rushed into the crowd of heavy human cavalry and swept across with an axe in his hands. The three human cavalrymen who stood in front of him fell off their horses and fell to the ground. The spear and sword in his hands were all broken on the spot!
A human cavalry lieutenant was proud of his strength, and while waving his big sword, he rushed straight into Hellscream's roaring chest, he shouted: "Die, green skin!"
Hellscreamed when he heard this, and suddenly opened his mouth and roared at the human. The sound was like thunder and like a mountain collapse! The human lieutenant heard a buzzing sound in his ears, and then he looked like stars, and was brushed off the horse by the same frightened war horse and collapsed to the ground. This is the reason why he called Hellscream! The terrifying roar from the abyss of Hell is terrifying!
"Hahaha!" Grom's Hellscream smiled at the sky, and danced again with a sharp and ferocious blood roar and rushing wildly into humans. No one could stop him for a moment. His bloody and wild heroic aura made him look like a scorching sun in the battlefield, dazzling and bright, and dared not look directly at it! The Hellscream's fighting roar pierced the air around him, almost overshadowing the human roar and the heavy blow of horse hooves.
Just as Hellscream was killing all directions, on the walls of the shelter, the old Marshal Joseph Taroca looked solemn. The situation had deviated from the expected track, and the heavy cavalry, who was regarded as the elite of the ace, was entangled by the orc wolf cavalry. As time went by, the casualties would probably increase, until they could not bear it! His heart was bleeding from every young man's sacrifice!
However, what made the old marshal even more worried was not only the powerful force of his opponent, but the tribe looked like a newborn and was eager to accept any challenge!
The battle at the Alashi Shelter is getting worse and worse!

On a sad afternoon, I saw a book friend in the book review area saying that Lao Tang's participation in the rescue operation of the orc would reveal his identity as a time traveler~~~ Because Dian Niang was still in a mess~~~ I can't reply~~ I will explain it briefly outside the text~~
It is not a secret that the orcs are preparing to rescue their tribesmen. Humans, including Blackmore, know~~~ The only uncertain thing is that the orcs will attack the stronghold! So there is no hidden secret or secret in the orcs attacking the shelter. I have laid the groundwork at least twice before~~Once, the owner of the goblin hotel in Ratchet City knew that orcs had escaped from prison~~ That is the other side of the sea! Second, humans are dispatching troops and strengthening the garrison. Isn’t this legion guarding the shelter the back? So Old Tang’s statement that exposes the identity of a time traveler in front of the orcs is not valid~~ There is no military spy on it~~~
Replying to comments today is still saying that the post failed~ I don’t know what’s going on~~~ It can only be attributed to the few days when Dianniang was uncomfortable every month~~~ The book review area cannot reply for the time being, everyone will be more responsible~~~
I also thank several book friends for their generous rewards~~~ Thank you sincerely for your support~~~
Well, tomorrow and the day after tomorrow~~ I might have to go back to school to submit my paper~~~~ I guess I have to take an afternoon bus~~ It will be very late to get to school~~~~ It hasn't been confirmed which day it will be~~~ I should stop for one day that day, and I will make up for it the next day~~~ It's best if I suddenly code one more tomorrow... It's nothing like this~~~ Actually, every chapter of Zhige is thick~~~ Most of them are around 5,000~~~ Some of them are also 7,000~~~ Compared to the 3-KK party, I'm quite kind... Hehe~~
Chapter completed!
