Chapter 325 Orc Attack
Before Vedox could speak, an officer hurried over from a distance and handed a document to Arcado: "Your Majesty, the elves Forest front-line message, the orc empire has begun to test the attack!"
Far away from the Gestak defense line of the Elf Forest, the Orc Empire finally couldn't stand the long wait and launched the first attack.
One huge catapult threw large stones several meters into the positions of humans and elves, bringing blood stains and dust all over the sky.
The drums rang in the dark night, making people's hearts tremble. The army of the orc empire jumped out of the deep pits and low walls, and one infantry phalanx after another pressed against the opposite line of defense.
Immediately after the human and elf troops launched a fierce counterattack, and the loud sound of the magic cannon echoed over the whole elf forest. Countless magic cannonballs broke through the sky and flew to the orc army, and then ignited a burst of fire with the tragic explosion.
The bow string of the crossbow arch made the air ring all the time, and one feather arrow after another was shot into the distance in the dark, where the sound of war drums and screams echoed.
The wolf knight who rushed nearby began to bite the dense barbed wire defense line, and then was strung into hedgehogs by humans and elf archers behind the barbed wire.
It's more than the battle of Biab City, which is simply a sea of people. They rushed to the barbed wire defense line, tore layers of barbed wire with their huge bodies, and finally were smashed by the shells fired by the tank and fell into a pool of blood.
"Lord Kotula, the counterattack on the opposite side is weaker than we expected. It seems that they are not ready to welcome our attack!" An orc general came forward to report.
Joseph, a veteran, came forward with a solemn face and said, "General, there can't be so much human attack power. They must be tempting us to be fooled!"
Cotula left the ruler in his hand on the side of the map, sat on the chair and pinched the broad bridge of his nose for a long time, and finally ordered: "Order the troops to attack fiercely! Put into the second reserve!"
The human defense suddenly tightened, and the mortars and the magic guide guns that preserved their strength launched a counterattack. The shells fell on the position of the Orc Empire like rain, and the two sides fiercely competed for the front-line defense positions of humans and elves.
The battle is in a stalemate again. The human firepower cannot completely destroy the offensive power of the orcs for a while, but the orc empire is also uncertain about whether to participate in the third wave of reserves.
"This can't be all the strength of humans and elves. If they are not on the front line, where is their main force?" Cotula looked at the map in a daze and suddenly thought of another possibility.
With a shout, Kotula in silver armor suddenly stood up and waved his big hand and ordered, "You continue to command here! Joseph!" Then he ran out of the big tent and ran to the mount and ordered: "The third wave of attack echelon follow me west!"
Kotula has now figured out the human attack plan. Instead of attacking in front of the main orcs, it is better to use efficient attack methods to cut into the rear of the orc defense line, causing chaos, and crossing the narrow river area and rushing into the plain. In this way, human armored monsters are easier to play a role.
So there is no doubt that the human troops should now be in the eastern strip of the Sigh Mountains and have broken through the not very solid defense line.
At this moment, in the Supreme Operations Command of the Holy Sword of the Duchy in Romer City, Arcado is standing in front of the map with Yu Qiansui and Gurion and others.
"They must not dare to invest all their strength to attack us, because the shadow of failure a year ago made them have to be cautious." Yu Qian said.
Grian stepped forward and introduced: "According to the resolution of the staff headquarters, all our defense lines have been handed over to Queen Doris and General Tessa. Edward * has led the main force to move east of the Sigh Mountain. Half an hour ago, Edward * called. He has led troops to attack and attacked the flank of the Orc Empire."
"If you don't want to be surrounded, the orc empire must transfer troops back to defense, so that all the main forces led by Edward* of our army will cross the tributaries of the Ladora River and enter the southwest plain." A staff officer said with the glasses on his face.
"They can't give up the city of Ville. In this way, the orc troops will definitely go back to the division to rescue." Gurian said with a smile.
"We must defend it. It seems that we have won this battle!" Arcado looked at the map and muttered to himself.
Suddenly, he was stunned, then scratched the scale on the map, and turned back to order: "Tell Edward, order him to stop moving forward. You ignored a person. If I were the Beast Emperor Wepton, I wouldn't wait for news from the front line in Ariel! The place where the beast emperor Wipton may be stationed is either in Gestak or Vero!"
Kotula's troops soon crossed the tributaries of the Ladora River to the east and entered the combat range of Edward's offensive cluster. Because Edward's troops advanced quickly, Cotula was a little unprepared.
What was even more unprepared was Edward, who had just received a message from Romer City 13 minutes ago, asking him to defend himself and prepare to fight back against the orcs. As soon as his troops dug up the trenches, arranged the barbed wire, and stabilized their positions, they met the reconnaissance troops of the Orc Empire, which made him admire the general staff thousands of miles away.
Soon, the two most elite orc troops appeared within the alert range of Edward's forces. One was 100,000 horses led by the beast emperor Wipton, who came from Vello, and the other was 100,000 troops led by Kotula.
However, in the face of Edward's solid defense, they failed to get a favor. The two sides soon ended the large-scale advance and mobilization and began an endless chaotic expedition on the long line of defense.
Under the cover of the magic cannon, the reserve forces of humans and elves began to slowly advance towards Gestark, and the offensive battle to recapture the largest fortress of the elves was fully launched.
The Orc Empire successfully stopped Edward's attack, stabilized the defense, and nailed Edward's troops firmly to the plain east of the middle of the Sigh Mountains, making it unable to move.
The Sword Empire also achieved part of its battle objectives, that is, to obtain a breakthrough across the river area for subsequent tank operations. And at the first time, Edward's offensive troops began to be replaced by the garrison of the elves.
The first round of the battle between the Sword Empire and the Orc Empire ended with a draw between the two sides, but the battle between orcs and humans has just begun in the long three years of the Gregorian calendar.
