Lord Harland.

Chapter 219 Annihilation War III
Li Cha led the soldiers and appeared directly behind the orc camp, causing chaos in the orc camp.

In the battle the day before yesterday, Li Cha released multiple powerful spells, and more than half of his magic power had been consumed.

Now, a day and a half later, the magic power has not been restored to full.

Now that the surprise attack was launched, Li Cha did not use spells, but drew the bowstring.

He poured battle energy into the enchanted arrow, and the enchanted arrow burst out with a white light, and shot at a third-rank orc officer.

The arrow made a sharp whistling sound, passing through the throat of the third-tier tauren.

It was too late to wait for the orc shaman to heal, and the leader of the third-tier tauren squadron died on the spot.

The tauren squadron leader was killed, and the orc soldiers under his command immediately became confused.The orcs panicked and shouted to their companions, while sounding the alarm, they barely fought against the human army.

For the sake of speed, Li Cha did not carry a heavy trebuchet.

Their attack was so sudden that the orcs never expected that human soldiers would appear from behind them.

When scouting, the harpies were mostly to the south.They didn't have much defense against their own back road. There were only a small number of werewolf scouts, and the scouting range was only a dozen kilometers away.

As a result, these werewolf scouts were all killed by scouts from Harland's territory.

By the time the orcs realized something was wrong, Li Cha and his army were already less than one kilometer away from the orc camp.

The distance of one kilometer is almost instantaneous for the Warcraft Cavalry Brigade.

When the monster cavalry charged, they could cover a distance of one kilometer in two to three minutes.

Li Cha did not let the precious monster cavalry charge directly, but led the infantry to attack the orc defense line.

The orcs were not good at long-range combat, and the trebuchets were all aimed in the direction of Gravessen Castle. It was very difficult to turn a large trebuchet, and it couldn't be done in a few minutes.

Even if he charged with infantry, Li Cha had some chances of defeating the orcs.

The time on the battlefield passed extremely quickly. In just a few minutes, Li Cha led the soldiers from Harland's territory and broke into the orc defense line.

The orc army, which lost its commander, couldn't resist the onslaught of Harland's army, and after holding on for a while, it collapsed completely.

The orc squadron patrolling the camp broke up without resistance for too long, allowing Harland's territorial army to quickly approach the orc camp.

Li Cha stopped 30 meters away from the orc camp, and then directed the soldiers to shoot feather arrows one after another.

The rain of arrows kept falling into the orc camps, and many orcs had not yet organized themselves, and were shot and killed by arrows as soon as they walked out of the camp.

"Light the brazier, shoot the rocket, shoot the rocket!"

The grassroots officers continued to command and shout, and after a while, the soldiers in Harland's territory lit the braziers, and the archers shot rockets one after another.

The rockets shot at the tents and stakes, and immediately set the orc camp on fire.

Billowing thick smoke rose from the orc camp, and the raging fire burned instantly, and a large area was strung together in a short time. .

Being attacked suddenly by Li Cha, the orcs couldn't react at all, and many soldiers were killed and injured immediately.

The orc commander suppressed the panic in his heart, and immediately organized his guard squadron. Although the situation was very serious, he still gritted his teeth and rushed out of the camp, hoping to contain Harland's territorial army and drive away the soldiers led by Richard. farther away.

"Grenadier, throw alchemy bombs, don't let the enemy organize, take advantage of the chaos to kill the enemy as much as possible."

Seeing that the orc guard squadron had entered the range, under the command of the grassroots officers, the grenadiers dropped dozens of alchemy bombs one after another.

Dozens of alchemy bombs exploded in the Orc Guard Squadron. The grenadiers' accuracy was excellent, and a burst of gunpowder smoke passed. Most of the Orc Guard Squadron had been killed and injured, and there were few intact soldiers.

Immediately afterwards, the archers shot arrows one after another, killing some surviving orcs.

Although the orc commander made great efforts to bring back the situation, unfortunately, too few soldiers were organized, and the guard squadron was completely wiped out before they rushed to the soldiers in Harland's territory for hand-to-hand combat.

In just a few minutes after the surprise attack was launched, the orcs had already formed an organization and lost hundreds of soldiers. Two squadrons were wiped out, and many soldiers were shot and burned to death.

The total number of Gravesson's orc army was only [-], losing one-tenth of it in such a short period of time.

Seeing how ferocious the soldiers in Harland's territory were, the orcs didn't dare to send a small number of soldiers to drive them away.

The orc officers kept shouting in the camp, organizing teams of orcs, and preparing to gather a large number of troops to fight the enemy.

After Li Cha led the troops to launch the attack, Viscount Roman, who was stationed at Graveson Castle, reacted very quickly, and immediately assembled his troops to cooperate with Li Cha to launch the encirclement and annihilation battle.

After realizing that the battle was unfavorable and the flames in the camp were difficult to extinguish, the orc commander ordered the troops to set up isolation belts, and at the same time ordered the trebuchet troops to tighten the winch as quickly as possible, load the stone bombs, and use the trebuchets to block the Luomen who left the city. Viscount, kill the defenders of Castle Gravesson.

Then he ordered the Snakes and Harpys to assemble and attack the army from Harland's territory. They played almost all their cards, hoping to reduce the pressure on the camp and buy time for themselves to organize soldiers.

The stone bullets kept falling, and two hundred catties of stone bullets fell from the sky, even high-level professionals did not dare to take it hard.

Fortunately, the orcs do not know how to calculate ballistics, and are not proficient in classical mechanics and ballistics. The accuracy of throwing is very poor, and the speed is also very slow.

Although the counterweight trebuchet is powerful and can throw stone bullets weighing two hundred catties, it also has obvious weaknesses. Their range is almost fixed. Even if the range is roughly changed by adjusting the winch and lever arm, there is no way to attack nearby enemies that are too close.

It has been six years since the counterweight trebuchet appeared in the war. As the first country to use the counterweight trebuchet, the Kingdom of Grant is well aware of the advantages and disadvantages of this weapon.

Seeing that a few rounds of stone bullets had caused more than a dozen casualties, Viscount Luomen kept urging the soldiers to speed up. After several rounds of stone bullets, although more than 100 soldiers were killed, Viscount Luomen rushed through with the noble coalition army. The limit of the trebuchet's range.

Seeing that Viscount Roman and his soldiers were less than [-] meters away from the camp.The orc commander immediately ordered that some personnel be sent out to resist Viscount Roman.

Viscount Roman seized the opportunity and cooperated very well with the soldiers in Harland's territory.

The appearance of the defenders of Graveson Castle undoubtedly relieved the pressure on the troops in Harland's domain.

As soon as the eighty snake-bodied men were organized, the monster cavalry bypassed from the side and rear, manipulated the iron horned horse and fired a hundred magic missiles at the snake-body formation.

Although the magic missile is a ring of magic, it can't kill the snake body with one or two shots.However, one hundred magic missiles hit the formation of snake-bodied people, causing more than twenty snake-body people to lose their staff.

With such dense magic missiles, the snake man had no place to dodge.

A round of magic missiles was fired, and the monster cavalry raised their bows and arrows one after another, and shot a round of feathered arrows at the snake-body man.

Warcraft cavalry are good at attacking fortifications, they are fast, and the iron horned horses on their mounts have a certain amount of magical lethality, which is very restrained against the army of snake-body professionals.

Although the snake-body man has a strong melee ability, it can also spray venom, and its mid-range lethality is quite good.But he is very afraid of this kind of fast and powerful opponent.

The monster cavalry bypassed the snake-body formation, and the first round of strikes caused more than [-] snake-body attrition.

The snake-body man wanted to chase the monster cavalry, but his speed was too slow to catch up with the iron horned horse.

If the monster cavalry were left alone, the monster cavalry would still attack the snake-body man's back when the snake-body man fought against the human infantry, and the snake-body man became in a dilemma for a while.

After discovering that there were monster cavalry in the territory of Harland, the snake-body commander could only bite the bullet, hoping to cross this distance and fight with the soldiers of the territory of Harland.

Once the two sides start hand-to-hand combat, in order to avoid hurting their own people, the threat of the monster cavalry to the snake-body man will be much weakened.

On the Gravessen battlefield, the soldiers of Harland's territory joined hands with Viscount Roman, and their combat effectiveness far exceeded the two orc brigades.

Moreover, Li Cha also has monster cavalry under his command, and the soldiers are also equipped with a large number of enchanted armor and alchemy bombs.

Unless the orcs send surprise soldiers, it is possible to regain some disadvantages.

But it was Li Cha who surprised the soldiers. He led the soldiers of Harland's territory by surprise and killed hundreds of orc soldiers.The fire burned down the camp of the orcs, and made it difficult for the orcs to walk.

The situation has developed to this point, the orc commander weighed the pros and cons, and decided to take the soldiers around him and kill the commander of the human army.

If Richard can be killed and the soldiers in Harland's territory collapse, there is still hope of winning this battle.

Unlike the Durham killed by Richard, the orc commander in Gravesen's direction is only sixth rank, and his official title is only a senior captain, and his status is equivalent to that of Richard's defeated Marurand.

He brought the orc soldiers around him and rushed towards Li Cha without hesitation.

The main force of Harland's territory has already started fighting the orcs. The only ones protecting Li Cha are the guard squadron, the first reconnaissance squadron, and the territory's mage group.

Li Cha carefully observed the battlefield, assessing the balance of power between the two sides.

Seeing the orc commander rushing over with his own soldiers, he immediately raised the lightning staff. The magic power in his body circulated, and a large amount of magic power was poured into it. In an instant, a huge lightning bolt had condensed into shape.

With the surge of magic power, the lightning became brighter and brighter, and the busy light of magic flickered slightly.

Lightning went straight to the orc captain.

Using the lightning staff to release lightning attribute magic, the power is increased by [-]%, while the magic power consumed is reduced by [-]%.

Li Cha invested ten points of mental power and used the lightning staff to release the lightning spell, the power of which has surpassed the nine rings.Such a powerful lethality is equivalent to a weakened version of legendary magic.

Even the eighth-level wild boar man Durham was killed by lightning, and the sixth-level orc captain was not spared at all.

Suddenly, he was struck by a thick bolt of lightning and received a lunch box on the spot.

Li Cha led the reconnaissance squadron and the guard squadron to defeat the army led by the orc captain, successfully controlled the battlefield, cut off the orc captain's head, and hung it on a long wooden pole.

When the orc captain died, his head was hung up.

Such a tragic situation immediately defeated the will of the orc soldiers.

Seeing that the defeat was a foregone conclusion, the remaining orc officers immediately planned to retreat and break out.

As soon as the orcs withdrew, they were immediately defeated.

It is not easy to kill an orc in a frontal battle.But once the orcs escaped, they lost their organization and exposed their backs. It was quite simple to kill the orcs. As long as they shot a feathered arrow, it was possible to kill the orc officers.

Li Cha and Viscount Luomen cooperated very tacitly, and they respectively broke up a group of orcs that had been organized.After chasing orcs, they broke into the jungle, and then cleaned up the battlefield within their respective control ranges.

Because the orcs hadn't yet invaded Gerda Province, and the spoils were pitiful, they only captured more than 3000 human slaves, and Richard gave Viscount Luomen [-].

Counting the more than 4000 human slaves rescued from the Fortress, the population of Harland's territory has increased by [-] since the start of the war this year.

The orc slaves were captured, the heads of the orc professionals were cut off, the scales of the snake body were pulled out, the battlefield was cleaned, and the number of casualties was counted.

This battle was fought beautifully. The casualties of the soldiers in the Harland Territory did not exceed [-], and only [-] were killed.

Viscount Luomen's allied forces were attacked by catapults, and suffered slightly more casualties, with four hundred soldiers lost.

At the cost of 700 soldiers, the aristocratic coalition forces in Gerda Province wiped out two brigades of orcs, cut off the heads of more than 700 orcs, and captured more than 600 orcs as prisoners. Only [-] orcs escaped from the battlefield .

Counting the remnants and defeated generals of the military depot, there were more than 1 orcs in the five brigades, and there were less than [-] survivors.

These more than 3000 orcs have been reduced to frightened birds, scattered in a large forest, and are no longer a hidden danger.

If there is no long-term repair, according to the morale of these orcs, it is basically impossible to fight.

After cleaning the battlefield, Li Cha took the soldiers into Gravessen Castle to rest for two days, and then returned to the territory of Harland with the spoils of war.

Taking advantage of the fact that the orcs did not have Heihe, Li Cha sent the orcs prisoners of war by boat and sent their heads to Fort Wright for credit, and reported the details of the two battles.

Today's Kingdom Roger is a veteran who has participated in many wars, and he can easily see through false reports of military exploits.

Moreover, the noble council is very strict on false reports of military exploits.

So Li Cha's report on the battle was straightforward, telling the story of the war.

In this battle, Li Cha led the soldiers of Harland's territory and cooperated with Viscount Roman, annihilating five orc brigades in two battles. He also killed Dulam, the deputy head of the eighth-rank wild boar army, and the sixth-rank werewolf captain. In addition to the merits of beheading low-level orc professionals, confirmed by Gerda province and counted by the noble council, a total of [-] major achievements and [-] medium achievements were made.

The Gerda Province had just won the battle, and the bad news came immediately. The orcs broke through the Earl of Martins again, and the main army of as many as four orcs submerged the Earl of Martins.

The new Earl of Martins died in battle, and the Earldom fell again.

Even the Redeemer Legion stationed in the Earl of Martins lost more than half of it to the orcs.
