Chapter 438 Southwest Siege
However, after the orc's attack stopped, humans were not idle. The 1st Marine Division of the Holy Sword Empire, which originally attacked the direction of Doss, handed over the defense line to the Elf Troops and the 2nd Marine Division, turned to the flank of Ariel, and began a fierce attack to the north. In this direction, the Orc Empire did not deploy troops to defend, and soon the Marine Division approached the south of Irehal. It is only 51 kilometers away from Erihar.
At the same time, the 317 Armored Division of the Holy Sword Empire south of Book City also handed over its position to the 319 Infantry Division and the Elf Cavalry, and changed it to go north to south. The target was aimed at Erehar and attacked Erehar's flank from the north. The unprepared orc troops did not have enough troops to organize defense, and were soon be 317 armored division hit the city of Irehal.
At this time, Kotula knew that he had been tricked. Now what human beings have opened a huge pocket against Erehal, in which is all the counterattack forces behind the orcs, that is, the orc troops in Kotula's hands and the defense forces deployed around them, with a total strength of about 130,000.
"Bastard!" Cotula hit the map on the table in front of him with a fist. Now he knows how many offensive forces the human troops in front of him have. Bailer was defeated just facing the front of this terrible landing force. Now the human and elf troops in front of him have a total strength of nearly 150,000.
An orc general frowned and looked at the map in front of him: "Commander, I think now order our main force near Veren to retreat. If we are lucky, we will build a new defense line near Erehal."
"It's too late. Irihar can't hold on any longer. Now we must immediately withdraw our troops from the battle and then deploy them in Yak City and Doss." Cotula shook his head: "And we must also abandon part of the army to defend Ariel to win time for the redeployment of the defense line."
"What about our army near Villen? More than 1.2 million troops! General." The general said reluctantly.
"Order the troops near Booker City to immediately retreat to the southwest, give up all positions, and withdraw as much as they can!" Cotula gritted his teeth and ordered: "Order Gu Lie, the wolf knight troops in his hand, the Bimon beast troops, and the elite orc infantry to start retreating at the same time! The rest of the troops must hold their positions in place!"
"Yes!" After hearing the order, the general turned around and went out to call the messenger.
The first large-scale retreat in the history of the orcs began, deployed in the front and along the northern coast, as well as the rear of about 1 million orc troops near the two main cities of Villen and Booker.
In the first time, more than 400,000 troops began to retreat southwest from Cotulla, but this order was ignored by Gu Lie. Gu Lie, the prince of the orc empire, thought that he could not retreat. What's more, he still had a million troops in his hand. He decided to hold his position and wait for the Orc Empire to mobilized troops to fight back.
But he still overestimated his command. Cotula's direct order was transmitted to many troops. Although the number of these troops was not large, they were stationed in quite important positions. However, before Gu Lie could react, these positions were sent to the troops of the Sword Empire for nothing.
On March 17, 4 of the Gregorian calendar, the general attack on the frontal battlefield of the Sword Empire and the Elf Forest began. The Orc Empire finally understood that the coalition of the Sword Empire and the Elf Forest on their front defense line was not weakened, but was greatly strengthened.
With the support of more than 1,000 various aircraft and more than 1,500 white-headed eagle knights, the joint army of the Holy Sword Empire and the Elf Forest crushed the orc's battered positions.
As the vanguard of the entire front-line troops, the Edward 3rd Army Group of the Holy Sword Empire, General Hawk's 11th Army Group, and the 1st Group of the Elf Forest launched a fierce attack under the cover of more than 3,000 tanks, and broke through in just an hour. The three orc defense lines advanced deeply towards the orcs.
In the headquarters of Arcado and Queen Doris, Yue Linger saw with her own eyes the scene of human troops and elf troops launching a fierce attack on orc positions, which can be described as hell.
Walking hundreds of meters away in one breath, his footsteps were all stepping on the rotten and broken corpses, and the maggots crawled around on their twisted faces, breeding their descendants.
As Akado's armored command vehicle and escort troops moved slowly, she saw the bodies of orc soldiers across the roadside. In a destroyed trench, more than a dozen human soldiers died with a huge Bimon beast.
Such a muddy and horrible picture continues to the end of the road that can be seen by the eyes, and planes passing through the battlefield can be seen not far away.
On the side of the road, a team of orc prisoners held their heads in their hands and were escorted by the elf cavalry, waiting dejectedly on the roadside, looking at the rumbled tanks and trucks, as well as countless human soldiers with horror.
and other Gu Lie were so angry that they stopped the retreat of the troops. When the defense line was redeployed, the human troops were only more than 130 kilometers away from Booker City.
Moreover, the orc troops that lost large coastal positions lost the field fortifications on which they relied, and the hastily deployed defense positions caused casualties of the Orc Empire army to rise sharply.
These poor orc troops have been compressed from both wings and have completely lost their organization and command. Countless soldiers could not find their commanders. They squatted on the defense line confusedly and were captured by human troops.
More soldiers retreated in the direction of Villen. They didn't know why they went there, but knew to avoid human attacks as much as possible and fled to more Villen or Booker City of the orc army.
The planes of the Sword Empire and the white-headed eagle army of the elf forest attacked these troops who gathered up and retreated crazily. They dropped bombs one after another and sent these orc soldiers with their heads to the west.
The attack in the direction of Weilun is the responsibility of the 1st Group of the Elf. They have the support of magic cannons and a small number of old tanks, and their progress is not fast. Their main purpose is to nail the orc troops to the trenches on the front line and prevent the main orc forces from escaping.
A large number of orc troops are firmly restrained in their own defense line. Once they withdraw from their defense line, they will be fiercely bitten by elf cavalry and chase them all the way.
