Chapter 34 Battle on the Eight-sided Slope 1

When the sun rose to the sky again, the orc army slowly moved out of the camp in a neat queue. At the forefront of the orc army is the orc's knife and shield infantry, followed by the spear infantry. The orc's javelinders are scattered on both sides of the orc infantry phalanx and the gaps between the various arrays. Behind the infantry phalanx are bear cavalry and wolf cavalry. Further back, there is an ordinary orc cavalry.

The reason why the two Capricorn and He Lanqing arrayed like this shows that although they don't know what to use the dense crossbow guns in the original army, they are still afraid of this crossbow guns. After all, in the battle that has been tough, the orcs have suffered the loss of the original crossbow cannon and catapult.

"Mr. Zhang, General Concubine!" An original soldier ran into Zhang Zhentian's middle army camp and reported loudly, "The orc army came out of the camp to kill us!"

"Oh?" After hearing this, Zhang Zhentian waved his hand to signal that the soldiers could leave. Then, he turned around and looked at the concubine group and said, "General Concubine, this orc came so fast! As soon as Fang Kun left yesterday, they came to attack the camp today. What can the general do?

"Yes!" Yu Qun nodded, "Mr. Zhang, let's go to the front line to have a look together!" After saying that, he got up respectfully and stretched out his hand to let Zhang Zhentian go first. Zhang Zhentian also got up with a smile when he saw it. He took the hand of Yu Qun, and the two left the big tent together.

In the original defense position, the top of the hill is garrisoned by the Huaiyi army led by Song Wei and Liu Cong; the hillside position and the passageway under the mountain are guarded by the army of Yanyun. The reason why Zhang Zhentian and Yuqun arranged this is that the orcs launched an attack on the original position, and they would inevitably choose a relatively easy-to-attack road. If the top of the mountain was attacked by a large army, the orc army would inevitably suffer heavy casualties. In the previous battle of the orcs chasing the original man, Capricorn and He Lanqing have already learned this matter, so they must have learned a lesson this time and focus the attack on the foot of the mountain, not the mountain.

When the sun rose three poles, the orc army lined up opposite the original position. He Lanqing and He Lanqing followed the orc infantry array, and the two of them looked at the original man's position for a while. Then, he asked, "General He Lan, which direction do you think we should attack the enemy?"

"back to the general!" He Lanqing replied, "Attack on their bottom part of the mountain! There are roads to Yanzhou and their camp. As long as we open the way to Yanzhou, the original people on the mountain will become turtles in the urn, and they will not escape even if they insert their wings.

"But this hill just choked the road. If they put a strong bow and a hard crossbow on the mountain, even if we can occupy the road at the foot of the mountain, I'm afraid we can't stick to it." After listening to He Lanqing's words, although he did not refute it, he also said with trembling, "I think so!" General Helan, do it your way first! Attack the mountain. At the same time, leave enough troops to wait for the chaos of the original army at the foot of the mountain, and then we will unexpectedly attack their mountain position.

"Good! Everything is in accordance with the order of the general. After He Lanqing finished speaking, he moved his horse to the infantry phalanx in front of him. Seeing this, he took a horse back. After that, the orc infantry phalanx began to move slowly under the command of He Lanqing, and they aimed their attack at the position at the bottom of the original mountain.

On the original side, three people responsible for guarding the position at the bottom of the mountain are Ziyi, Li Wancheng and Jiang Dongfang. They now have 3,000 original infantry. According to Ziwei's arrangement, one-third of the people were arranged by him to the front line. Another one-third is responsible for carrying arrows, stones and manipulating crossbows. The remaining third was arranged as a reserve team.

When the orc army turned to prepare to attack them, Zhang Zhentian and Yuqun brought another 2,000 soldiers to the position at the bottom of the mountain. Under the arrangement of Zimo, these two thousand people also rested at the back of the position for the time being. Because according to the width of the front of the position, it is most appropriate to be guarded by a thousand people. No matter how many people there are, it will affect the firing of the crossbow cannon behind them.

"Fast forward!" He Lanqing followed the orc infantry array and waved the tomahawk in his hand and ordered loudly. The orc infantry obeyed his order and began to trot forward. The knives and shields in the front row all lifted the shields in their hands off the ground, then hid their bodies behind the shields and moved forward. The long gunmen behind them staggered half of the position with the shield soldiers, so that they could put the long gun in their hands, so that the long gun could be exposed from the gap of the shield, and would not affect their sight to hit the sword and shield soldiers in the front row during the march. The orc's swords and shields and spearmen were staggered layer by layer, and they trotted towards the original position.

"The crossbow ready!" Seeing that the orc's infantry array was close to the range of the crossbow attack, he loudly reminded Jiang Dongfang, who commanded the crossbow battle behind him, "They have entered the range!" After saying that, he shouted at the original infantry lying behind the fortifications, "Archs and arrows are ready!"

The original infantry is different from the orc infantry, as mentioned earlier. No matter what kind of arms they are, they will carry a bow and arrow on their backs. Under the order of Zimo, the original infantry lying behind the fortifications pulled bows and arrows one after another, and they were all ready to fight. As soon as the orc infantry entered their range, they immediately shot the orcs in front of them.

Being Ziwei, Jiang Dongfang also waved the reverse blade knife in his hand and issued an order to prepare for the attack. The 200 soldiers responsible for controlling the crossbow guns were divided into 40 groups, and they controlled 40 crossbow guns on the ground. After the orc soldiers moved forward for 30 or 40 meters, Jiang Dongfang waved the blade in his hand and ordered loudly, "launch!"

These crossbow artillerymen immediately released the javelin on the crossbow machine. The orc soldiers rushing to the front immediately twisted into a mess under the blow of the heavy javelin fired by the crossbow cannon. Although the orc infantry in the front row have shields, these shields are also difficult to resist the attack of heavy javelins from the crossbow cannons, so casualties in the orc army are inevitable.

However, after a round of blows, the orc infantry quickly adjusted their phalanx. The wounded soldiers were replaced by the soldiers behind them, and the orc phalanx continued to charge the original position without stopping. After firing a round of heavy javelin, they have to take two to three minutes to fire again, because during this period, the crossbow artillery will tighten the heavy javelin newly placed on the crossbow machine. The orc's current position is still far away from the range of the original man's bow and arrow, so although the original man's first round of crossbow attack caused a certain panic to the orcs, it did not kill too many orc soldiers. The orc infantry still lined up their phalanx to attack forward.

"The catapport!" Jiang Dongfang saw that the orc infantry phalanx was moving closer, and then issued an order to attack the catapve behind him, "Blossal bomb! Attack."

This catapult is bigger and much heavier than the crossbow gun. The biggest difference from the crossbow is that the tool it throws is a big wooden spoon. In fact, the catapult and crossbow gun can be converted to each other, but the launching tools need to be replaced. There are ten catapults behind the crossbow gun, but more soldiers are needed to manipulate the catapult. Jiang Dongfang arranged 15 soldiers for each catapult. These weapons and equipment of the original world are similar to those of the Middle Ages of the earth world, that is, similar to the appearance in Age of Empires or Rome: Total War.

"Wow! Whew!" The boulder dropped by the catapult hit the orc infantry formation. The catapult in this original world is the same as the catapult in the earth world. Its striking accuracy is not high, but it is very lethal. When the stone bomb fell into the orc infantry formation, the orc infantry was immediately killed and injured.

This time, because the boulder bomb fell like an orc infantry formation, it will bring more panic to the orcs. However, inspired by orc captains and soldier captains, the orc infantry team quickly returned to normal. They still continue to move forward. However, the further they go, the greater the danger, and the more stones and crossbows are waiting for them.
