Chapter 99 Battle of the Valley 2
When the original cavalry went forward, the original infantry also rushed outside the orc wall. Zhou Peihu looked at Ziqi, who commanded the infantry to advance. He shouted loudly, "General Ziqi! Be careful! The orcs put a gun in it.
"Gun array?" Ziqi was shocked when he heard Zhou Peihu's shout. Huh! Now the orcs will also fight defensive battles. However, as an infantry general, he naturally has a way to deal with the gun array. Ziqi waved the sword in his hand and ordered loudly to the captains beside him, "The sword and shield soldiers are outside, and the spear soldiers are in the middle, forming a shield wall and rushing in!"
The lieutenants around Ziyi got the order of Ziyi, and they immediately dispersed to command their soldiers to form a phalanx surrounded by shields. In the middle of the phalanx, there were spear infantry with spears in both hands.
"Forward!" Seeing that his soldiers had finished the whole team, he immediately issued an order to attack. Zhou Peihu saw that his infantry was ready to attack, and he naturally led the original cavalry to retreat slightly. In this way, the original infantry replaced the cavalry, and they marched neatly towards the gap in the orc wall.
"Prepare oil!" Han Tianhu stood behind the orc gun array, and he naturally found the original man's strategy. At this time, he raised his head and shouted loudly at the orc soldiers on both sides of the gap in the wall. These orc soldiers guarding the wall heard Han Tianhu's shouts. They pushed the boiling oil they had prepared earlier to the gap of the wall and were ready to attack.
The original infantry marched forward in a neat queue, and their speed would naturally not be too fast. When the original infantry array passed the gap of the wall, Han Tianhu timely issued an order to attack the orc soldiers on the wall. A pot of boiling oil flipped down directly towards the original infantry formation.
In order to improve the effect of the attack, although the original shield wall phalanx has shield protection on all sides, there is a gap in its top. Because unlike the fish scale array commonly used by the Roman Legion in the earth era, the original spear infantry was similar to the Macedonian infantry. They only had a small decorative shield, or simply, like the Chinese spear infantry, were not equipped with shields at all.
"Ah! Ouch!" As the orc soldiers poured boiling oil into the phalanx of the original infantry, the original infantry below screamed. Then, the original infantry phalanx collapsed in chaos. The orc infantry behind the gap took the opportunity to wipe out the original infantry in chaos under the command of Han Tianhu.
"What happened before?" Zhang Zhentian and Yuqun found the chaos of the original army in front of them, and they rushed to the gap in the orc wall together under the escort of their own soldiers. When Zhou Peihu and Ziqi saw Zhang Zhentian and Yuqun coming, they immediately rushed to Zhang Zhentian and Yuqun, "Mr. Zhang and General Yu, the orcs in this camp are very cunning! They have gun arrays behind the gap and oil pans on both sides of the gap! We are adjusting our deployment and preparing to launch another attack.
"That's it." After listening to Zhou Peihu and Ziyi's words, Zhang Zhentian thought for a while and pointed to the wall of the village wall and ordered, "Order the soldiers to build a ladder to attack the city!" Order the bull chariot to concentrate at the gap in the wall and project javelin at the orc's gun array.
Under Zhang Zhentian's order, the original army immediately adjusted the attack deployment. The dense ladder put on the orc wall, and a large number of bull chariots also drove into the gap of the orc wall.
"General Han! They started to climb the wall!" While resisting the attack of the original soldiers, the orc archers on the wall shouted Han Tianhu in the wall.
"Hear!" Before Han Tianhu finished his words, the crossbow arrows shot by the bull chariot also rushed into the gap of the wall, and the orc gunmen guarding the gap were immediately shot down by the crossbows. Han Tianhu saw such a scene, and he knew that his position would not be able to defend. After all, the original army is superior in number, and the merchant sheep cavalry in the sky no longer deal with the orc archers on the wall, and they are all concentrated on the top of the gap in the wall. Now the orc soldiers on the wall can't get close to both sides of the gap at all, which is completely controlled by the merchant sheep cavalry.
"Regress!" Seeing this, Han Tianhu issued an order to retreat. Han Tianhu's mind is very clear. He knows that if he fights hard with the original army, the orc army can't get any advantage. Now, the army is a lonely army, and living force is more important to them than anything else.
"Mr. Zhang, the orc's army has retreated!" A native cavalry retreated to Zhang Zhentian's side and reported loudly.
"Very good! Order the army to move forward. Zhang Zhentian ordered the army to advance while rushing into the orc's camp with the concubines. When passing through the gap in the wall, the two of them saw the original soldiers on the ground.
"Stop retreating!" When Han Tianhu and his army retreated to a gentle slope in the valley, Han Tianhu raised his hand to stop the retreat of the army. "The sword and shield soldiers are in front, and the long spear soldiers are behind, forming a shield wall to defend against the original attack!" Under his order, the orc army immediately formed a new line of defense to resist the attack of the originals.
In the orc camp in the back, the orc army has been organized to support Han Tianhu, who was fighting against the original man in front of him. At this time, a deputy general under Han Tianhu rode a war horse and hurried back from the front. "Your Highness, General Han asked me to inform you that the wall has been lost now! He hopes that you can lead your troops back near the west entrance of the valley.
"Retreat?" He strangled the war horse, and he was a little surprised by the deputy general's words. However, he just hesitated for a moment, and he still planned to follow Han Tianhu's advice. Therefore, he immediately ordered his army to retreat to the west instead of supporting Han Tianhu, who was resisting the original attack.
In the middle of the valley, Tao Zhu and Xue Jin led the original 2,000 elites and Qiu Linluo's 100 orc cavalry hidden here. The battle at the east entrance of the valley has been transmitted here. Tao Zhu, Xue Jin and Qiu Linluo already knew that the army of the original man and the orcs were fighting in the valley.
"General Qiu Lin, the army in the valley has been gathered to support the army guarding the valley." An orc returned to Qiu Linluo's side.
"Very good! Let's go." After listening to the reciprocal of the scout, Qiu Linluo turned his head and looked at Tao Zhu and Xue Jin.
"Go!" Tao Zhu and Xue Jin agreed together. Then, the ambush of the original man and the orc sneaked into the valley through the secret road dug in advance by Qiu Linluo.
When Qiu Linluo arrived in the valley, his army and his army had not yet retreated from the front. However, it is far away to see the smoke and dust rolling, which is a sign that the troops and horses are coming here.
"General Qiulin, look!" The orc soldiers guarding near the exit of the cave found the smoke in the distance, and he immediately reported to Qiu Linluo, who had just drilled out of the cave, "East! There seems to be a large army coming to us in the east.
"Yes!" Qiu Linluo nodded, "General Tao and General Xue seem to be the army. I'm afraid we have to stop them around here.
"Good!" Tao Zhu agreed, and then he looked around, "But what's the barrier around General Qiu Lin's vicinity to resist their impact?"
"No!" Qiu Linluo shook his head helplessly. "Originally, the exit of the cave was opened here because the surrounding terrain was ordinary and did not attract anyone's attention. But now, this has become a shortcoming. Qiu Linluo was right. The cave they dug was too narrow! It can't pass through horses at all, so although the army brought by Qiu Linluo and the three of them are cavalry, they can only be used as infantry here. And they will face a brigade of orc cavalry. Without the terrain as a support, it is indeed difficult for their army to stop the retreat.
"General Qiu Lin, you and your people go into the cave!" Tao Zhu looked at Qiu Linluo and said loudly, "We can't be sorry to our friends!" After saying this, he turned around and looked at the 2,000 original soldiers who followed him and Xue Jin, "Warriors! You are mostly soldiers of the Right Guard Battalion! Today is when we shed blood on the battlefield and die for our country. Do you want to live or wash away the shame of our past with your own blood?
"Honor! Fight!" The original soldiers listened to Tao Zhu's words, and they immediately shouted loudly.
