Chapter 437 The Orc's Dilemma

Four days later, the letter for help sent by the Dragon Knight finally arrived at Weilun, and Cotula finally figured out the scale of this human attack.

The intelligence in his hand shows that the orc air force has collapsed, and the air force has no ability to fight back against the opponent's superior air force. Now he has lost its air power.

The new bomber raised the suppression power of the Holy Sword Empire Air Force to an unbearable level, and the counterattack troops barely gathered by Kotula were paralyzed on the road before they came out of Villen.

The human navy cooperated with the army to capture Doyle Port again. This attack was obviously not ready to run away as last time, because it can be seen from the letter of distress sent by Berler that more than 100,000 troops landed this time

In fact, Berler still exaggerated the situation of some of his opponents, because he has been facing about 50,000 people, not 100,000 people in the distress letter.

Although Kotula knew that the information in his hand was not accurate, he had a hunch that the human landing force behind him was not just about capturing Port Doyle. He felt that the human landing force was likely to target Erihal.

Based on this judgment, Cotula ordered Berler to fight back in place and not to retreat. On the other hand, he transferred about 100,000 soldiers from the front line, so that these soldiers did not have to gather and immediately rushed to Irehal separately, where they gathered and then counterattacked in the coastal direction.

Subsequently, 50,000 orc defenders stationed in Booker City were ordered to leave Booker City and fight back south to repel the elf cavalry in the north of Doyle Harbor.

Another decision of Kotula was to order about 50,000 orc troops near Yak to support Dos, trying to launch a simultaneous counterattack in the direction of Dos, recapture the position near Doyle, reconsolidate the position and attack the beach.

Determined the main attack direction of human beings. Kotula left for Erihar. He had to first command the orc troops to drive the human landing troops behind him into the sea, and then consider how to defend against the sudden emergence of human air force.

On the other hand, the 319th Infantry Division and the 317th Armored Division that arrived at Port Doyle were added to the north side of Port Doyle and participated in the last large-scale beach consolidation operation of Operation Overlord, completely defeating the orc forces south of Booker City and advancing at least 70 kilometers north.

This battle completely disrupted the original plan of the already chaotic orc troops. The 100,000 orc troops that were supposed to gather in the direction of Erihar had no choice but to disperse and fill the porous defense line south of Booker City, and the orc counterattack in the direction of Erihar was over.

Subsequently, the 1st Marine Division, strengthened by the 2nd Marine Division, continued to attack Dos. This attack annihilated more than 30,000 orc troops in a hurry, making the counterattack of the orc army in Doss' direction also die.

Before the commander-in-chief Kotula rushed to the front-line headquarters, the counterattack of the orc troops has been smashed, and the entire rear defense system of the current orc troops has completely collapsed, leaving little time for Kotula.

More than 20,000 orc troops deployed in the direction of Doss finally merged with 50,000 orc elite troops from Yak City, barely stopping the fierce attack of about 30,000 people of the 1st and 2nd Divisions of the Marine Corps near Dos City.

140,000 troops deployed near Ariehar (more than 70,000 left Ariehar remained troops and did not participate in the attack) were unable to launch a counterattack against the defense line composed of 10,000 elf infantry and the 3rd Division of the Holy Sword Empire and the 3rd Marine Division.

In the area south of Booker City, about 110,000 orc troops are scattered on the more than 100-kilometer-long defense line, facing the attack of 20,000 cavalry and 30,000 armored troops of the Holy Sword Empire. The situation is also not optimistic.

In a word, in the three main offensive directions of the human landing force, the orc defense line is crumbling, and the situation is very unfavorable to the orc empire.

He hurried to Kotula, who presided over the overall situation by Irehal, gave the command of the front line of Willen to the orc prince Gu Lie, and ordered him to hold on to the defense line near Willen until Cotula calmed down the landing human beings.

What is doubtful is that the main orc army near Ponceris, a major town in the orc empire, was indifferent to the dangerous situation of the 1.75 million orcs in the Elf Forest and did not mean to send reinforcements.

Not only that, the Supreme Command of the Orc Empire decided to build a permanent fortification on the front line of Dos and Yak City, and it seems that it has planned to give up more than half of the elf occupation area.

Nevertheless, Cotula, the orc commander-in-chief of the Elf Forest, did not give up his counterattack plan. He tried his best to gather troops and try to launch an attack in the direction of Erehal, forcing the human troops in both directions of Doss and Booker to retreat.

In the 9-day battle, the orcs lost more than half of the entire coastline. On March 2, the orcs lost Tuthar, and this huge elf town became the second important elf city recovered by human landing forces.

Tuthar was captured by humans, causing another gap in the orcs' defense in the direction of Booker City, which also forced the orcs to retreat again and give up more land.

Just as Cotula was preparing to carry out a counterattack near the city of Arihar, Gu Lie's front line sent back reports that human troops occupied the second line of defense. Although the bombing and shelling continued, the 1.05 million orc army on the front line still defended their defense line and did not collapse. .

This slightly relieved Cotula. It seems that humans have weakened the offensive power of the frontal position for this large-scale landing, so that as long as the human forces near the landed Port of Doyle are defeated, the initiative to regain the Elf Forest may be completed.

Encouraged, Kotula led the only orc troops in his hand to make a crazy counterattack against the 3rd Division and other troops of the Holy Sword Empire.

What is surprising is that the troops of the Holy Sword Empire did not tenaciously defend their own defense, but began to retreat rhythmically. Cotula, who was in sight of victory, mobilized the last 30,000 reserve team from Arihar and continued to attack in the direction of Port Doyle. He hoped to split the human landing site from the middle and The human force is divided into two, then eat one part first, and then deal with the other part.

However, although Cotula strictly ordered his troops to attack Doyle, the orc troops finally stopped more than 30 kilometers away from Doyle Harbor. In the face of the strong human defense line, they could no longer move forward.
