Chapter 436 Operation Overlord
Although the orc troops have failed in the initial counterattack and lost the beach under the fierce attack of human beings, Berler is not willing to let the human army of the Sword Empire develop smoothly.
Belle quickly adjusted his deployment and was determined to use his 30,000 infantry to defend the port of Doyle, so that Doyle would become a ruin like a new port in the hands of human beings. Familiar with the cavalry, he even pulled out the cavalry troops in his hand in an attempt to stop the human attack by counterattack.
At this time, the cavalry troops he could find were a team of wolf knights deployed 17 kilometers north of Doyle, and a wolf knights stationed between Erehall and Doyle Port, and the other was a wolf knights in the direction of Dos City, which was being transferred before the war broke out.
Obviously, the tens of thousands of troops in the direction of Doss are the farthest and do not know the exact location, so they are also the least hopeless cavalry to fight back. The other two troops have ordered to send people to contact immediately to prepare to counter the human troops and lift the siege of Port Doyle before they are besieged.
At the same time, Berler immediately sent a messenger to his supreme commander, Kotula, to call for help. Although the water could not quench his thirst, as the commander of the army, after all, he had to seize every possible hope to save the crisis.
On the afternoon of February 23, as many as 90,000 landing troops of the Sword Empire, most of the main forces have landed, and thousands of tanks have begun to launch assaults deep. Because of the lack of reserves and heavy fire support, the orc coastal defense forces have begun to retreat.
However, in the process of advancing, the third division collided with orc wolf knights and a large number of orc infantry coming from the north, and then broke out a fierce battle. Because the orcs came in a hurry and did not have the support of defensive positions, they suffered heavy losses, lost a large number of infantry and Bimon beasts, and were finally forced to Withdraw.
In this way, half of the Wolf Knight troops that Berler's high hopes for have been repulsed before they are gathered. The other half of the wolf knight troops hoped for more than 10,000 people were transferred to Irehar before the start of the landing operation that day, which made the messenger sent by Berler to find the unit but did not find the unit.
However, the chaotic battlefield also brought a lot of surprises to the orcs. Just as Berler was depressed and preparing to retreat, the 10,000 wolf knights who should have been between Doyle City appeared near Doyle Port. It turned out that the commander of this wolf knight force could only speed up because he was dissatisfied with raising military food. Port Doyle added, so it accelerated the march and caught up with such an important battle.
Belle was strengthened by 10,000 wolf knights and barely gathered about 40,000 troops, which is the largest combat organization in the whole coastal defense force.
Although the orcs have about 350,000 troops deployed along the coast to prevent the harassment of Sean's navy and prevent the possible failure of the Port of Doyle rescue.
However, these troops were scattered on thousands of kilometers of coastline, and only about 70,000 orc elite troops were deployed near Port Doyle, followed by 50,000 troops near the northernmost estuary of the Ladora River, and the rest of the troops were scattered throughout the coast.
It is also a last resort to disperse the troops. After all, Sean's naval gods are haunted, and there is no way to sneak attacks and harass, which makes the Orcs tired of dealing with it, dispersing the already few troops.
The Holy Sword Empire landed near Doyle Harbor, which is the most powerful orc defense, which also gave the orc a great opportunity. Both sides launched the most power that could be mobilized to attack and defend in the first time.
Of course, in the early and even middle of the battle, the performance of the orc coastal defense forces was remarkable. They used the scarce resources in their hands to cause casualties to the landing troops of the Holy Sword Empire. However, when a large number of armored troops landed on land and sea fire suppression began to take shape, human soldiers began to enter. Enter the state and master the rhythm of the later stage of the battle.
More than 40,000 orc coastal defense forces were destroyed near the beach, which made the already overstretched orc defense forces lose the ability to fight back effectively. They could only deploy defense in place in an attempt to control the situation and stabilize their positions before reinforcements arrived.
However, the orc's wishes were still ineffective. Half of the expected reinforcements were destroyed on the road (the wolf knight unit north of Doyle hit the third division and suffered heavy losses), but the other half disappeared inexplicably (the wolf knight in the direction of Arihar was transferred elsewhere), and the whole coastal orc The defense system became crumbling in an instant.
Belle intended to defend Doyle, but gave up at the last second. He led all the troops he could find to retreat. Not realizing the seriousness of the problem, he did not destroy the port dock of Doyle before retreating.
Soon, the troops of the Holy Sword Empire took full control of the port of Doyle, which became an empty city. A large amount of materials and reserves were transported to the port wharf of Doyle. A large number of human soldiers were unloaded by the whole ship. The human and elf coalition unloaded 100,000 troops in Doyle port that night, counting the 90,000 troops that landed, Saint The Sword Empire has firmly controlled near Doyle Harbor. At the same time, the 3rd Division has begun to attack Erehal, and the 1st Marine Division has advanced towards Doss.
The next day, the elf troops in charge of the auxiliary attack quickly captured the village near Doyle Harbor. Although a small number of orc troops resisted for about 3 hours and caused a large number of casualties to the elf troops, it did not change the course of the war. An elf cavalry attacked north and did not encounter resistance all the way. It took 35 kilometers north of Doyle Harbor before stopping.
The 300,000 landing army has gathered in Port Neil. Although 90% of the second landing army are new soldiers, 37% of the soldiers have only been trained for less than 7 days, and 5% of the troops do not even have armor and weapons, but their main task is to go to Port Doyle to supplement the losses of the main troops on the front line. , and do some auxiliary defense work.
Subsequently, the 3rd Division and the 3rd Marine Division collided with 100,000 orc troops who came to reinforce 110 kilometers west of Port Doyle. A day after the two sides killed each other, the orcs were forced to turn into defense, gave up their counterattack plan, and waited for reinforcements in other directions.
Then, the First Marine Division, which was advancing all the way, crashed into the Orc Defense Force in the direction of Dos City and stopped moving forward. At this point, the human forces have controlled more than 1,000 square kilometers of land near Port Doyle.
