Lord Harland.

Chapter 217 Annihilation Battle One
Durham dispatched troops and generals, rectified the formation, and rushed out of the camp with the orcs.

He led the battle with the kobolds, the tauren in the middle, and the quilboar behind.The werewolf cavalry were cruising outside, and the snake-body professionals served as a reserve team, appearing at the most critical time.

Seeing the orcs walk out of the camp, Li Cha immediately ordered that the trebuchet lighten the counterweight and adjust the shooting range to 400 meters.

Durham waved his hand violently, and the orc army advanced quickly. His eyes were very sharp, staring at the human camp.

Durham knew in his heart that the orcs and humans competed for long-range shooting, and they were far from human opponents.

The advantage of the orcs is close combat, and only by exerting their own strength can they defeat their opponents in battle.

Seeing that the kobold had entered the range of the alchemy bomb, Li Cha did not intend to attack his opponent.

The reserves of alchemy bombs are not enough, so they can only be used to strike high-value targets. Li Cha has asked the auxiliary soldiers operating the trebuchet to focus on the snake-body man.

As long as the snake appears on the battlefield, the alchemy bomb will greet the snake.

The kobolds advanced quickly, and entered the range of the archers in about 3 minutes.

In Harland's territory, all the veterans practiced archery, and there were many marksmen.There are more than 2000 soldiers equipped with bows and arrows, accounting for almost half of them.

These veterans have been in the army for many years, and they all wear steel armor.

Those who can use bows and arrows are all good players in the army.Because of military skills, archery is the most difficult to practice. In fact, spear and sword skills used in actual combat are not very fancy. There are often only a few tricks, and it is not very difficult to master. You can get started in a few months.

Unless the level of archery is very talented, it usually takes many years to train a qualified archer.

According to Li Cha's experience, soldiers who can practice archery well are not only powerful, but also have a solid foundation in breathing techniques, and they are also good at using other weapons.

It takes about five or six years to train a third-level archer.

The arrows pierced the kobolds with a sharp howling sound, and several kobold squadrons were immediately covered by arrow rain.

Seeing the rain of arrows coming, the kobold hurriedly raised his shield.

But the strong bow and crossbow, the kobold's thin wooden shield can't stop it at all.

The kobold squadron leader's eyes froze, hot blood spattered his face, and his ears were suddenly filled with screams that pierced his eardrums.

The white light in front of his eyes flashed across quickly, and in the blink of an eye, many soldiers under his command had been shot down, and a large part of the formation was vacant.

"shoot!"

Before the kobold squadron leader could react, the second round of arrows had already been fired.The dense arrows were like falling raindrops, with an arc of death, hitting the kobold forward again.

This time the kobold squadron leader was unlucky and was shot into a sieve by seven or eight arrows.

Immediately after the third and fourth rounds, after six consecutive rounds of arrow rain, more than half of the three kobold squadrons leading the battle had suffered casualties.

Although the orcs could bear more casualties, such a miserable scene still exceeded the limit of the kobold squadron.

The fear of death strikes the kobolds' nerves all the time. Seeing another round of arrows raining down, the kobolds' vanguard finally couldn't hold on anymore. They shouted wildly and retreated in unison, but were killed by the tauren of the second echelon. stop.

The orcs' military laws were harsh, and the tauren were not polite to the kobolds' defeat, and immediately arrested them and executed them.

Seeing this scene, Durham immediately had a bad thought in his heart.He has participated in many wars, and Durham was still shocked by such a swift and powerful long-range attack.

Durham had only seen so many sharp archers in the backbone brigade of the main human army. He really couldn't understand why there were such elite soldiers under the command of a small viscount.

Durham didn't understand at all that the military strength of Harland's territory had been established for nine years.

In the past nine years, Li Cha has been in the army intermittently, investing millions of gold coins in resources.In the past nine years, this army has not suffered major losses and has been developing benignly.

Today, there are several main infantry squadrons in Harland's territory. Their combat effectiveness is second only to the Warcraft cavalry, and they are far superior to ordinary infantry squadrons.

Although the number is small, it can indeed be called an elite force.

The kobolds of the first echelon were defeated, and the tauren of the second echelon rushed up.

The cold arrows shot out continuously, there was a whistling sound in the air, and black spots fell from the sky all over the sky. The Tauren hurriedly raised his large shield to protect his body firmly.

The tauren is powerful, and the shield they hold is very sophisticated. The outer layer is covered with wrought iron, the inner layer is six to seven centimeters of elm wood, and the innermost layer has a leather-lined grip.Unless the bow is enchanted, it will have the kinetic energy to penetrate this heavy shield.

Harland's territory has hunted and killed many high-level monsters, and some blood steel can also be produced in the territory. Over the years, hundreds of enchanted bows and crossbows have been saved.

These enchanted crossbow users are all excellent archers, and their archery has generally reached the third level, and seven or eight of them have even practiced to the fourth level.

Tier [-] archers are already one-of-a-kind masters, their arrows almost never miss, and their arrows bite the flesh.

The fourth level of archery is one in a thousand, able to hit a swinging willow branch from 300 meters away.Even the eagles in the sky can't avoid this kind of terrible archery, and can be easily shot down.

These more than 100 sharp archers are almost the backbone of Harland's territory.

More than a hundred archers used enchanted crossbows, and each round of shooting caused heavy casualties to the orcs, with more than a hundred people killed or injured.

Even though the orc held a shield and put on armor, he still couldn't withstand the damage from the enchanted crossbow for too long.

Seeing that the casualties had increased, the Tauren sped up their speed. After suffering a lot of casualties and entering the range, they used slings one after another to throw stones at the human army formation.

The tauren is very powerful, and the stones thrown by the sling are not small.

But throwing stones is far less accurate than archery, and such an exchange ratio is very disadvantageous.

In order to avoid greater casualties, the tauren could only continue to speed up their pace and fight close combat with human soldiers.

After five or six hundred casualties, only about half of the six squadrons of more than a thousand tauren remained.

At this moment, the distance between the two sides is only a dozen meters.

"go ahead."

The tauren commander pulled out his command knife, and slammed into the first brigade with a wild cry.

Seeing the orcs rushing to the front of the formation, the soldiers could even see the hot breath from the orcs.The veterans of the first brigade were not at all confused, and almost shot the last round of arrows close to the face of the orc.

The lethality of face-to-face shooting is extremely strong. This round of feather arrows almost killed the orc who rushed to the front, and opened a big gap in the orc formation.

After shooting the last round of feathered arrows, the veterans inserted the enchanted bows and crossbows on the ground, drew out the enchanted long swords at their waists, and took the initiative to block in front.

All the sharp archers in the territory are wearing enchanted armor.Many people wore brute force armor and launched brute force techniques one after another.

Seeing that the orcs were about to charge up, the mages of the mage group shot one after another.

In this battle, the Harland Mage Association was fully dispatched. The junior apprentices joined the treatment group, and the middle and senior apprentices followed the magicians and were responsible for releasing spells.

In an instant, more than twenty spells were released.

These spells include attack spells and control spells.

In an instant, fifty or sixty orcs were killed or injured, and more than a hundred tauren were restrained.

In war, once movement is restricted, it is impossible to survive.The orcs who were restricted by the spider web and greasy skills immediately died under the swords and arrows.

The second echelon had suffered heavy casualties, and the third echelon had already killed the wild boars.

The reason why the orcs rushed up echelon by echelon was to use refueling tactics.

The main reason is that the scale of the camp built by Li Cha is small, and there are too many soldiers to move around. The soldiers in front will block the attacking route of the soldiers behind, and if they are crowded together, they will easily become the target of the archers.

The wild boar charged very fast, and quickly filled the gap left by the tauren.

Seeing that the mage group was so lethal, Durham decided to bring his own soldiers to attack the human mage group.

Li Cha observed the battlefield, but never made a move.Seeing Durham attacking fiercely, Li Cha held the lightning staff, invested ten points of mental power, and used the powerful four-ring magic lightning technique.

Ten points of spiritual power, the power of the powerful lightning technique is not weaker than that of high-level magic, and with the blessing of the lightning staff, the power of this magic is slightly higher than that of the nine-ring magic.

Lightning spells are not only destructive, but also attack fast.

Durham was hit by this spell before he could dodge in time, and his blood surged and his body became numb.

If it weren't for his high magic resistance, this spell would have killed him.

Even though he survived the powerful lightning spell, Durham's chest was already scorched, and even his internal organs were almost roasted by the powerful electric current.

Seeing that Durham was severely injured, the orc shaman hastily released a healing spell.

The powerful life energy entered the body, and Durham finally escaped. Seeing Li Cha raising the lightning staff again, Durham's scalp became numb, and he immediately hid behind the guards.

The two sides began to engage in hand-to-hand combat, and the snake-body professionals also arranged their formation and prepared to go into battle.

Although the snake-body professional army is powerful, its weakness is very obvious. It moves slowly and cannot catch up with human elite soldiers, so it is easy to be restrained in a targeted manner.

It is difficult for such an army to fight independently. If the Snake Squadron were to fight against the No. [-] Squadron of the Harland Territory, the No. [-] Squadron could easily use the kite-flying tactic to kill all the Snake Squadrons.

Even if Soros is alone, riding an iron horned horse and holding an enchanted bow, he can easily defeat his opponent.

Therefore, the Snake Squadron, because of its obvious weakness, does not have the ability to fight independently, so it can only cooperate with the main force of the orcs.

Although the weakness is obvious, the snake body is very strong in melee combat, and Li Cha dare not let the snake body break into the battle at all.

Once in close combat with the snake body, the casualties are difficult to control.

Even if the elite infantry of the No. [-] Squadron were to fight hand-to-hand with the Snake Professionals of the same squadron, the casualties would be too heavy for Li Cha to bear.

So immediately a military order was passed down, asking the auxiliary soldiers to launch alchemy bombs.
