Chapter 48 Greenskin's Counterattack

Seeing the terrifying artillery troops bombarding the undead, they instantly smashed the army of black orcs that seemed indestructible. Next to this depression, the green skins who were also affected were shocked. Many timid goblins and orcs turned around and fled, and of course some courageous orcs rushed forward. As soon as they rushed, the originally not neat array suddenly became even more messy. At this time, the ghost scorpion mantis rushed over.

These all-metal raids extending flat from the front end, waving huge sickles, and the ghost scorpion mantle with fire-breathing arthropods in their mouths, sweeping away the messy lines of the green skins as if they were cutting wheat. While leaving behind large corpses, they continued to rush forward.

"Supreme troops advance!"

Seeing that the green-skinned array was completely destroyed, Vared immediately issued such an order. So, a large number of ancient tomb guards rushed towards the depression and attacked the wings of the black orc array through the depression, completely tearing the gap.

At this point, this headache-inducing defense line finally broke down. The situation began to become as to send the tomb guard crossbow halberds to form the array to stabilize this gap and not be recaptured by the Greenskins, Vared re-mobilized the undead knights' troops to launch a charge from this gap and attack the ordinary Greenskins behind the front.

Under the arrangement of Valed, although this front could continue to defend, its significance had been weakened a lot. The undead troops who broke through this front were able to charge from the flanks of this front and even behind, causing heavy losses to the black orc troops. One night after that, Valed did the same and launched a fierce attack with a large-scale artillery, a combination of ghost scorpion mantle and an undead knight, and opened several gaps on the black orc front.

Therefore, this line of defense that can be called green skin can be taken out gradually and cannot be supported.

Although the Greenskins reorganized several attacks after this. A large number of orcs, venom-legged flying dragons and rock trolls charged at these gaps, hoping to fill the gap again, but it had little effect. The elite infantry tomb guards of the undead's elite infantry tomb guards are good at attacking. The front formed by these warriors in black iron armor is stronger than the front of the Black Orc Immortal, and has more firepower protection from artillery and magic attack devices. The attacks on the Greenskin cannot work.

In this way, the battle between the undead and the Greenskin had been over six days and six nights. The most important moment during this period was that the Greenskin army was cruel. Regardless of the safety of the chaotic troops in front of them, they sent a pig cavalry, trampling over their front troops and launching a charge to the undead, trying to fill a gap in the defense line of the black orc immortals. The Greenskin sent more than 4,000 pig cavalry, and these cavalry were equipped with a full set of iron armor, which was elite. At the same time, Greenskin also sent more than fifty Venom Dragons and more than two hundred Greenskin shamans as aid forces.

Either by coincidence, or by the Greenskins, they got inspiration from the undead army. This time, the Greenskins launched an attack as if it were the tactics Vared had used before. They concentrated their firepower, weakened the array of the undead troops with long-range attacks from shamans and venom dragons, and then launched a charge with cavalry.

Although the things that the Greens did were too simple and rough for many famous officers and generals in Sylvania, they were not interested. However, after seeing them, Valed felt particularly surprised and sighed: "It is rare that there are such people in the Greenskin army!"

Beside him, his adjutant Ram had long been used to Valed's white hair now. Although he had some estimates in his heart, he had calmed down on the surface. Hearing Valed say this, Ram replied: "The green skins of the entire southern wilderness are gathered here. One or two exceptions are present, and it is normal for special guys to be."

"It makes sense." Vared nodded and agreed with Ram's statement: "But the ability of the green shaman is limited. The guards of our army's ancient tombs are wearing black iron armor. Their magic resistance is even better than that of the black orcs. So you can imagine how much the other party's inappropriate imitation can play--"

Indeed, the situation was as Vared thought. The resistance of the array of tomb guards to magic made the efforts of the Green Skin Shaman futile. At the same time, the new musketeers of the tomb guards in the undead, as well as artillery and corpse witches, were not to be outdone and launched a counterattack on the Green Skin, further suppressing the undead army.

But the two-legged flying dragons in the sky are different. If these venom two-legged flying dragons that can be sprayed with corrosive venom attack the undead array, then the undead army will probably suffer heavy casualties. Whether it is a steel-arm crossbow or a rapid-fire rifle, facing a two-legged flying dragon that hovers in the sky and is thick in skin, it cannot have a good effect, let alone the magic of the corpse witch. The two-legged flying dragon is also a sub-dragon species, and its magic resistance is not something that a low-level spellcaster like the corpse witch can deal with.

However, the undead army also has a way to deal with them. The undead dragon, which was originally responsible for the bombing mission in the undead army, was summoned by Valed, and there were a total of five hundred gargoyles with them. These powers were enough to suppress the invasion of the two-legged flying dragons. Although they had become undead, the dragon's power was still preserved under the influence of the undead witchcraft, and under the will of these undead dragons who hated the creatures, they kept pressing against the two-legged flying dragons.

Under this pressure, even the most barbaric and stupidest bipedal dragons could not maintain their normal state. They were either wailing, shattered by the cold dragon breath of the undead dragon, or torn into pieces by a large number of gargoyles. With the whine of these ugly beasts emitting foul smell, a blood rain suddenly fell in the sky. The pieces of flesh torn by the gargoyles and the blood of the bipedal dragons were constantly thrown to the ground, indicating the failure of the Green Skin plan.

However, although Sylvania cracked all the Green Skin's long-range attack methods, the Green Skins were still not discouraged... or they launched a cavalry assault without this awareness. The Pig Cavalry, as they said before, laughed and stepped on their own bodies, smashed the backs of the unlucky ghosts, and launched a charge towards the array of the undead army.

What greeted them were the burst crossbow arrows fired by the steel arm crossbow, the lead-made projectiles fired by the rapid-fire rifle, the flowering bullets of the cannon, and the magic of the corpse witches...

Under such a long-range attack, the army of the Pig Cavalry was greatly weakened. At least one-third of the Pig Cavalry died on the charge road, and the bodies of the Pig and the cavalry were paved all over the floor.

But even so, the remaining pig cavalry and the brave soldiers rushed into the undead's front.

Originally, before Valed had carried out military reforms and created a new type of military service, the best in the undead army in Sylvania's army against cavalry was the ancient tomb guards.

These elite heavy infantry holding long halberds have a special way of fighting against cavalry.

Generally, infantry use long pole weapons to fight against cavalry in charge, and usually three to five rows are tightly placed together to form an array. This is not only for the firmness of the front line, but also for the psychological comfort of the soldiers. Tell them that there are many people to maintain morale.

However, for the undead, this method is naturally unnecessary. The array of the tomb guards is very special, with two rows of soldiers being nearly four. When facing the enemy, they are completely single rows against the enemy.

When facing the cavalry, this single row of ancient tomb guards will lean the front end of the long halberd in his hand towards the ground at a thirty-degree angle. When the cavalry rushed to him, they will suddenly lift the long halberd upwards. Start from the weak, unarmored abdomen or fragile front hooves to kill the enemy cavalry. Of course, at the same time, the speeding horses and the cavalry's spears are enough to destroy an ancient tomb guard. Both sides die at this point. For the enemy cavalry who continues to advance next, they will be fought against another row of ancient tomb guards away from five meters.

This tactic completely ensures that the tomb guards obtain a one-to-one casualty ratio when fighting against the enemy's elite heavy cavalry. For the in-flight resistance of the cavalry, this can be said to be an extremely high and extremely rare exchange ratio - and this ratio is almost unchangeable.

Cultivating an elite heavy cavalry, raising war horses, and manufacturing equipment requires huge costs. However, creating an ancient tomb guard only requires enough materials. Although the death rate is the same, the cost of army formation and maintenance costs, the cavalry will cost five times the undead, and even more. Therefore, the winner must be the undead. This single-row thirty-degree long halberd array tactic is also the signature tactic of the undead army.

However, against the war pig cavalry, such tactics were completely ineffective. Because the war pigs raised by these green skins had short legs and large heads and strong bodies. The bottom-up halberd was almost impossible to beat. The heavy leather and fat of the war pigs were not comparable to that of the war horses. The third reason was...

These cavalrymen have green skins and thick skins. If they fall off a Mercedes-Benz battle pig, they may not lose their combat effectiveness...

Therefore, in the eyes of Valed, this group of warpig cavalry is much more terrifying than the several knights of the empire and even the chaotic heavy armored cavalry.
