Wave after wave of harassment aroused the anger among the officers and soldiers of Aldo's army.
Although the archers within the Austrian army are also fighting back desperately, their target is a moving target - the galloping orc cavalry, while the arrayed Austrian army is fixed to the orc cavalry. target.
Shooting a bow and shooting arrows on horseback is not difficult at all for these races who grew up on horses.
"What's going on? Just standing there and getting beaten?"
There were no complaints in the various formations of the Austrian army. Many people couldn't understand why they were not allowed to attack despite this. !
"Your Highness!" Montreat asked Catherine for instructions again, "If this continues, the morale of our army will soon collapse!"
Hearing his anxious tone, Catherine looked at her own military formation.
Sure enough, the infantry phalanx in the center and the knight phalanx on the left wing have begun to become restless.
She had a dilemma in her heart.
After all, the armies of the Black Rock Plains leaders were a little impatient.
In order to balance out the mobility advantage of the orc cavalry, she carefully chose this battlefield.
Sunset Valley, as its name suggests, is a place sandwiched between two mountains.
Although it is still slightly wide as a valley, it has been able to restrict the large-scale movement of cavalry in both directions to a certain extent.
A few hours before the main force of the army set off from the military camp, a cavalry of more than 2,000 people quietly left the camp under the command of Klein and Lester. Their goal was to pass through the mountain road Quietly make a detour to the rear of the orcs, and launch an attack from the rear of the orc army while the main forces of the two armies are stalemate.
But in order to avoid the detection of the orc scouts, they had to take a longer detour. This is why Catherine has insisted on staying put.
According to the original plan, they had to wait until the agreed time to launch the attack at the same time.
This is a plan insisted on by the generals who are familiar with the tactics of the orc army, and it is somewhat risky.
Of course, it would be great for the Aldo army if the orcs gave up their previous tactics and no longer used such aloof harassment tactics, but directly formed a group to rush into battle.
The Aldo army will rely on its numerical and armor advantages to crush the orc attack, and the mission of the outflanking troops will automatically shift to intercepting and killing the fleeing orc army.
As one of the senior generals commanding this battle, Montreat knew about this arrangement.
But he still held another point of view - even without the cooperation of the roundabout force, the Aldo army could still defeat the orc army with the main force facing the orcs head-on.
The orcs' harassment tactics gave him a reason to urge Catherine to fight as soon as possible.
Katherine checked the time again, and there was still one hour before the agreed attack time.
Perhaps Klein and the others have arrived at their reserved location? After all, redundancy was already taken into consideration when planning.
Is the attack now?
Or should we wait?
As the supreme commander, Catherine thought hard in her heart.
At this time, there was a sudden commotion on the left wing, and countless people made carnival sounds.
Katherine looked over there, and it turned out that a knight suddenly jumped out of the queue, brandishing a lance and stabbed to death an orc cavalry who got too close.
The knight's behavior was not considered a violation of military orders because he did not ride his horse too far away from the military formation and returned quickly after killing the target.
No one would let go of an enemy who foolishly rushed forward to die.
But his unexpected move boosted the morale of the entire army, but also made them increasingly restless.
Catherine realized that if the officers and soldiers were not allowed to do something, many people might lose their minds.
“Attack!”
She finally gave the order! When Catherine's order was conveyed to the whole army by the flag, Aldo's whole army broke into a surprising cheer.
The morale that had dropped due to repeated attacks by the orcs was instantly lifted back up. Everyone was enthusiastic and full of fighting spirit.
The army quickly took action.
According to the plan, the three phalanxes on the left, center and right rushed forward towards the orcs.
The Chinese infantry, which had been charging up for a long time, held up their spears and walked quickly towards the orc cavalry who had turned back again.
The cavalry on the left and right wings closely covered their flanks to avoid being outflanked by the enemy.
Everything seemed to be progressing smoothly. Many orc cavalry who did not expect the Austrian army to attack suddenly were unable to evade, and both their men and their horses were killed by spears like a dense forest.
Finally caused considerable casualties to the enemy. This achievement boosted the morale of the entire army.
“Kill!”
Montreal, who was in charge of commanding the infantry of the Chinese army, was extremely excited. He waved his sword and commanded in the queue, encouraging the officers and soldiers to continue to move forward bravely.
He has no choice but to be passionate. If he defeats the orcs, he will make his first contribution in this battle and become a dazzling military star in the kingdom.
Think about it, what a huge honor it is to cut off the westward tentacles of the orc army when the Watcher Fortress fell and the kingdom's northeastern territory was lost.
The infantry moved faster under his urging.
At the command position of the orc army, Callum stared at the changes on the battlefield with wide eyes.
“The human army finally attacks!”
He coldly said to the surrounding generals: "The warriors of the grassland will defeat them and massacre them! But... that army from Jingyao is a threat!"
An orc with an eyepatch and a fierce expression Shaking the reins, "Lord Callum, I request to lead the army to entangle them!"
Callum looked at him with approval, "Your courage is commendable, one-eyed Wardler, but you We must be prepared to never return. Ordinary human soldiers may be considered weak to us, but those people are powerful knights with superb martial arts skills, no less than the war chief's eagle-feathered warriors."
Wardler's remaining single eye flashed with a ghostly light, "That's exactly what I long for. The great General Callum, Wardler and his warriors need enemies that match him. Prove yourself.”
Callum nodded solemnly.
"Bring me my knife!"
His servant immediately handed him a knife.
“This is the long knife that I purchased from a human businessman for a large amount of money. Although it is not a magic weapon, it is made entirely of fine steel and is a rare and good knife. Now I give it to you!”
A trace of excitement flashed across Wadler's originally stern face, and he reached out his hand to take it solemnly.
Clang!
He couldn't wait to draw the blade out, and the shining reflection dazzled him.
I couldn't help but admire: "What a knife!"
The blade is engraved with some complicated lines. If anyone knows this, they will recognize that this is a kind of knife that has been used in recent years. A newly created Aldo script.
"Northwestern Industrial Manufacturing, No. 1995-0231"
The font style of these letters is quite abstract and can only be recognized by relevant people, which has a certain anti-counterfeiting effect.
But Callum always thought that this was the pattern used to modify the blade.
