Chapter 238 Battle of Yabu
A bird suddenly appeared in the forest, countless orc troops rushed out of the jungle, and the wolf knights rushed to the human defense line not far away.
The giant wolf with a bloody mouth of the wolf knight** roared, quickly jumped over the broken old tree roots, and picked up a few rotten leaves. Before landing, he was hit by the next giant wolf and continued to slowly fall to the earth.
On May 1 of the Gregorian calendar, the Orc Empire took the lead in launching an attack in the direction of Yabu City, and the coalition of humans and elves immediately fought, and the long-planned northern offensive and defensive war between the two sides broke out in full swing.
"Order the troops to continue to attack! Don't be beaten by bows and arrows!" Wipton ordered his son Berell: "Your wolf knight is enough to tear any line of defense! Beat them with speed!"
Belle, who received the order, immediately threw half of the wolf knights into the battle. The first wave of more than 50,000 wolf knights rushed to the opponent's defense.
However, these wolf knights soon realized their mistakes together with the 50,000 orc infantry brothers who charged at the same time.
The human artillery attack is more fierce and horrible than when it was near Oniklos. The 100,000 orc army that charged has not yet crossed half of the charge journey and is ready to give up this attack.
The sea of fire made these heroic orcs feel afraid. For a moment, the corpses were everywhere on the empty field and blood flowed into rivers.
This empty field was deliberately cut down by Arcado in order to maximize the long-range power of the artillery and expose the orc offensive forces to the cover of artillery.
Of course, there is another advantage, that is, once Arcado launches a counterattack, this open field will become a favorable terrain for tanks and armored vehicles.
"Stabilize! The regent's gunfire is not over yet! Hold on!" Doris loudly ordered the elf cavalry behind her. Their task was to rush out from the side and intercept the retreating soldiers of the orc attacking forces after the gunfire was over.
A hot air balloon quietly appeared in the distant clouds. They carried the latest aviation bombs in order to take the opportunity to attack the orcs.
"Fight!" The gunfire suddenly stopped, and the elf queen ordered loudly. Countless elf cavalry jumped out of her and rushed to the defeated orc troops.
It's really a wolf into the flock. 30,000 elf cavalry rushed through this open land like cutting melons and vegetables, taking away the heads of more than 10,000 orc troops. They passed through like a whirlwind without dragging at all.
This was carefully explained by Arcado in advance to avoid the wartime elf clan being entangled by the orc army and struggled to suffer losses, and then the orc clan will use the melee to attack the human defense line, which is dangerous.
The beast emperor in the distance almost vomited blood. This was the first time since he joined the army that he felt that the army of the orc empire was so fragile. In the face of such an orderly coalition, the powerful orc empire had no power to counter it, and a whole 20,000 troops were eliminated in the blink of an eye.
The more than 70,000 defeated soldiers and defeated in this array are now overly frightened and have no fighting spirit. If they don't take a few days to inspire and encourage, it is impossible to fight again.
In contrast to the opponent, except for the sound of an explosion, the only loss was the casualties of hundreds of elf cavalry, which seemed to be insignificant at all.
When I was in pain, my instinctive reaction was not good. I hurriedly shouted and walked quickly, and then flew out far away. I drew my swords to warn. Dozens of orc generals also flew out, and some of them rolled on the ground and pulled out their swords.
Suddenly, there was an explosion, and the Chinese army staged a scene like the front line. The Beast Emperor finally found a hundred and ten hot air balloons quietly above his head.
"Quick! Call the Dragon Knight to fight! What the hell is that!?" The beast emperor pointed his long sword at the sky and shouted orders and questions.
"Warning! Alert! Order the troops to fight back! Return!" Some orc generals shouted and ghosts, looking around for hidden places.
Some orc archers blindly shot arrows into the sky, but found that they could not shoot the monsters in the sky at all. Instead, the fallen bows and arrows killed many of their own people.
After a period of panic, the orc dragon knight finally arrived, only to find that there were many elf white-headed eagle knights around the balloon.
A fierce battle between the Orc's Flying Dragon Air Force and the elf's white-headed eagle air force finally defeated the white-headed eagle army and began to fiercely attack the hot air balloon troops of the Holy Sword Principality.
Acardo dropped his telescope and stared coldly at an elf general beside him, who was the commander of the White-headed Eagle Army.
"Sir, didn't you assure me that your troops can protect my bombing troops?" Arcado clenched his fist and questioned fiercely.
The officer was obviously sweating and quickly explained, "Photo, the regent, my lord, my troops have tried their best. He, they have been destroyed, but there are too many troops in the Orc Air Force Department, I..."
"If you pull it out, the intelligence is not accurate and the enemy's situation is unknown, and you dare to boast in front of me that you can cover my air force for bombing. Now it's okay, our army has more than 100 hot air balloons and more than 200 air force soldiers have returned. What face do you have to explain to me here!" Arcado roared angrily.
When speaking, the hot air balloon troops have all been shot down. It would be strange if the Dragon Legion of the Orc Force made mistakes when attacking this goal with little power to fight back.
Due to underestimating the combat ability of the Orc Army and Air Force, the Holy Sword Principality paid a heavy price, and the Orc Empire also won a city in this first battle.
The failed bombing only destroyed dozens of tents, causing local panic among the orcs, killing only about 300 orc soldiers, and more than 500 orcs died in their own chaos.
In the evening of the first day of the battle, the orcs lost a total of 57,000 troops, causing 32,000 casualties of the elves, and consumed more than 10,000 magic cannonballs and more than 40,000 crossbows.
The hot air balloon bombing force appeared on the historical stage for the first time, but did not shine like Romeck's other weapons. Instead, they underestimated that their opponents were destroyed near Yabu City.
The Elf Queen killed the boastful Elf Air Force Commander and apologized to Arcado.
After tasting the suffering, the Beast Emperor urgently formulated a plan to increase troops, and transferred 200,000 orc troops near the fortress of Gstad and Onikilos to the northern front to reinforce them.
Facts have proved that the other party's combat effectiveness is very strong. In the case of equal strength, it is likely that it will not be cheap or even defeated. The Beast Emperor has to gather more troops than his opponent for the first time to maintain serious troop losses.
Counting the reserve troops and new reinforcements, about 400,000 of the orcs have gathered near Yabu City, and the fierce battle here has begun to make bloody and cruel strides.
