Heroes of Might and Magic: Knight Chapter 48: Battle 2
"Kill!"
In order to boost morale, Horn directly ignited his fighting spirit and struck the ogre in front of him with a sword.
Facing the oncoming sword, the ogre warrior subconsciously raised the thigh-thick wooden stake in his hand to resist.
It is a pity that the already sharp long sword is even more indestructible with the blessing of Horn's fighting spirit. The wooden stake held by the ogre was easily split by Horn's long sword, and then the long sword continued to cut straight. into the ogre's chest.
Before the ogre could scream, he fell straight down. Dark red blood sprayed out from the edge of the sword, dyeing half of Horn's armor red.
Horn wiped the blood on his face nonchalantly, and killed several nearby ogres one after another. The peak knight, who was only one step away from the great knight, was absolutely invincible against ordinary ogres. A crushing advantage.
The First Flag Regiment is worthy of being the ace flag regiment in the Jingbei Army. Although the soldiers in the front row suffered heavy casualties in the first wave of collision, the soldiers in the back row stepped forward without hesitation and held firm to stabilize the front.
The First Flag Regiment has a complete range of arms. In addition to spearmen, it is also specially equipped with warhammers who use blunt weapons.
Some stronger soldiers were specially selected to use war hammers. Under siege by a few people, it was easier to cause damage to the thick-skinned ogres.
In addition to Horn and other knights killing them directly with force, many ogres also fell under the attack of the war hammer.
After Horn killed the ogres one after another, he soon attracted the attention of the ogre warriors.
An ogre warrior who looked stronger and even wore tattered metal armor rushed towards Horn, no longer letting Horn kill ordinary ogre warriors at will.
"??!"
Horn's long sword made a heartbreaking sound when it collided with the metal mace.
A huge force came from the hilt of the sword, causing Horn's jaw to go numb.
However, Horn is worthy of being a peak knight who is about to enter the Grand Knight level. The first collision was about the same as the Ogre Warrior in terms of strength. Although he did not take any advantage, he was stable. He was stuck in place without taking a step back.
The biggest advantage of the Ogre Warrior is the absolute advantage in strength. In the battle with Horn, there is no advantage in strength. In terms of skills alone, the Ogre can't keep up with Horn.
In the ensuing confrontation, Horn quickly suppressed the ogre warrior with his superb swordsmanship, and also added several serious wounds to the ogre warrior.
If another knight-level commander can help at this time, Horn is confident that he can directly kill the ogre warriors in front of him in a short time.
Unfortunately, Horn did not wait for the support of his comrades. Instead, a scream broke Horn's fantasy.
A knight-level captain died tragically under the mace of an ogre warrior.
There are two guys who are suspected of being ogre warriors nearby and are approaching the battlefield on Horn's side.
"No, there are too many ogre warriors."
Without enough time to grieve for the death of his subordinates in battle, Horn was already feeling frightened.
According to common sense, there are at most five or six ogre warriors among the five hundred ogre warriors, and now almost all of his commanders are restrained by the ogre warriors.
Conservatively estimated, there are at least ten ogre warriors on the battlefield now, almost as many as the number of knights in the First Flag Regiment. In a one-on-one battle,
It is difficult for human knights to suppress the ogre warriors. Among the knights of the First Flag Regiment, except Horn himself, it is almost difficult for anyone else to contend with an ogre warrior alone.
There was no time to continue paying attention to the situation of others. As expected, the two approaching ogres were also ogre warriors. Horn soon fell into the dilemma of being surrounded by three ogre warriors.
The knights of the flag regiment were almost too busy to take care of themselves. It was difficult for ordinary soldiers to withstand the attack of groups of ogres alone. Only some quasi-knight-level officers organized the soldiers to resist with difficulty.
Originally, the Jingbei Army still had some numerical advantage. If seven or eight people could cooperate to besiege an ogre, they could barely sustain it. However, this time there were not only ogres with a combat strength of 500 quasi-knights, but also several ogres. The kobolds are like cannon fodder.
If these dog-headed people with sharp teeth and sharp mouths, armed with sharp wooden sticks and slightly polished stone spears, appear alone, the Jingbei Army can certainly teach them to be dogs in minutes.
But attacking together with the ogres worked wonders. Although it was difficult for them to directly kill the Jingbei Army soldiers, they could greatly interfere with the formation of the Jingbei Army soldiers in the melee, and even some kobold three Five groups of soldiers pushed down the Jingbei Army soldiers.
Marquis Wade in the distance naturally saw what happened to the First Flag Regiment. He did not expect that the proportion of ogre warriors among this group of ogre warriors would be so high.
This can’t be blamed on the scouts and sword eagle knights. Apart from being a little stronger, these ogre warriors don’t look much different from ordinary ogres from a distance. Perhaps you can tell the difference by looking closely.
However, the scouts of the Jingbei Army did not have the opportunity to observe closely. They usually made inferences based on proportions, but it was obvious that there was a big problem with this inference, and the First Flag Regiment was directly in danger.
Fortunately, the remaining three flag regiments of the First Army were not far away. Marquis Wade ordered them to speed up their reinforcements to the First Flag Regiment.
Although these three flag regiments are slightly less powerful than the first flag regiment, they are definitely well-trained elites. There are more than a dozen knights in the three flag regiments. When they join, the mixed army of ogres and kobolds on the opposite side will definitely find it difficult to become arrogant.
This is also true.
When the other three flag regiments entered the battlefield, the Jingbei Army turned the tables and quickly suppressed the ogres who had been arrogant just now.
These new forces quickly forced the ogre army to retreat, leaving behind many corpses.
In absolute numbers, ants can kill an elephant, not to mention that the soldiers of the Jingbei Army are definitely not ants, at least they are a group of hungry wolves.
Although the proportion of ogre warriors among ogres slightly surprised Marquis Wade, it was not beyond his control.
Although this ogre tribe has a population of more than 3,000, only half of them are truly capable of being quasi-knights. At this time, a third of them and thousands of kobolds were sent to have been completely suppressed by the First Legion. If Failure without support is a matter of time.
If they provide support, Marquis Wade will still have three legions in his hands,
Not to mention that there are cavalrymen from a flag regiment in Weiru cruising around the outside.
From the perspective of Marquis Wade, everything is under control,
All he has to consider is how to win the battle while minimizing casualties.
While Marquis Wade was thinking, the ogres fighting the First Legion finally couldn't resist. After losing several ogre warriors, there were some signs of retreat.
But the First Legion was unforgiving, clinging to the ogres in front of them and not giving them a chance to evacuate.
As if out of helplessness, nearly a thousand ogres from the camp rushed out and rushed to the battlefield with tens of thousands of kobolds, as if they were forced to fight.
"The second and third legions attack!"
Marquis Wade decisively issued the order.
Second, the Third Army also quickly followed the order and strode towards the battlefield.
What came out on the other side was already the full strength of the ogres. They were definitely not enough to face the two legions of the Jingbei Army, and Marquis Wade also had half of the legion's reserve team and a flag regiment of cavalry. Did not participate in the war.
It seems that there is no suspense in this battle.
Everything was so smooth and reasonable.
