Lord Harland.

Chapter 254
The two armies collided fiercely, and blood and flesh flew all over the place in an instant.

At this moment, Soros and Sophia's troops in the swamp basin also detected the enemy's situation. The soldiers stopped cleaning the battlefield and began to gather.

Soros and Sophia were only a few kilometers away from the battlefield, and the monster cavalry was the fastest, arriving at the battlefield in less than an hour.

Seeing the appearance of the monster cavalry brigade, Platt had to mobilize troops, and the orc brigade turned in the rear to protect the flanks of the army formation and prevent the monster cavalry from making trouble.

Richard led the soldiers of Harland's territory to fight with the orc army.

He observed the formation, invested sixteen points of mental power, and released a powerful wall of fire technique.Putting in [-] points of mental power, Li Cha released the powerful wall of fire spell, which is more powerful than the standard nine-ring magic.

A wall of fire suddenly appeared in the array of orcs, and the howling wind, engulfed in flames, ignited everything within reach.

Raging flames raged through the orc armies.

Burns are the most severe pain, and the pain is beyond a thousand cuts. Although the orc has thick skin and thick flesh, he was ignited by the fire and turned into a burning man. Immediately there was a shrill scream, and the injured orc lay on the ground, rolling over and over, hoping to extinguish the flames.

In an instant, serious chaos appeared in the queue of orc soldiers.

A powerful four-ring magic wall of fire immediately disrupted the formation of a squadron of orcs. The soldiers of the first squadron rushed bravely, and the orc squadron collapsed immediately.

The No. [-] Squadron fought very bravely, and broke into the depths of the orc formation. The grenadiers were in the back row, and immediately threw alchemy bombs at the orcs.

Dozens of alchemy bombs were thrown out, and the orc rear squadron suffered heavy casualties.

The soldiers of the No. [-] Squadron mobilized their fighting spirit one after another, activated the brute force armor and launched the brute force technique, and the strength of dozens of soldiers suddenly increased by four points.

The soldiers, whose strength had increased dramatically, swung the enchanted long sword like chopping melons and vegetables, and pierced through the second squadron of orcs.Then they smashed through the orc army in one go.

In less than 10 minutes, the first squadron defeated three squadrons of orcs and penetrated the orc formation.

Pratt's Chinese army only deployed two brigades. Seeing that the two brigades could not withstand the elite of Harland's territory, Platt hurriedly mobilized troops and continued to deploy a brigade of orcs to strengthen the defense line.

Although there are seven or eight thousand orc auxiliary soldiers, these auxiliary soldiers are all sheep-body troops, and their combat effectiveness is extremely weak, so they are not suitable for cruel field battles.

As long as the sheep-body people suffered a little more serious casualties, they would start to scatter in all directions.A little away from the supervision of the main force, he fled to the mountains and forests.The only effect of using sheep-body people to fight is to consume the energy, arrows, and stone bullets of the defenders.

If it is a long-term siege, using auxiliary troops to attack the city can also have some effect and consume the enemy's strength.

But Pratt's troops are now fighting in the field, and using sheep-body men can only make his army more chaotic. The only thing he can rely on now is the main force of seven orcs.

Through the Harpy's investigation, Platt knew in his heart that there were reinforcements from humans on both sides of the east and west.When reinforcements from east and west arrive tomorrow, it will be a decisive battle for the main force.

The orcs lost three brigades, and with seven brigades in a decisive battle with the main force of Harland's territory, the coalition forces of the nobles of Heihe County, Platt had no chance of winning at all.

The soldiers in the Harland Territory are well-equipped and of excellent quality. In addition, they are equipped with a large number of alchemy bombs, and their combat effectiveness is stronger than that of the Northern Army.

The combat effectiveness of the [-] Harland Territory soldiers surpassed half of the Northern Legion.

Platt divided his troops to attack the swamp basin, and the enemy's situation was not investigated clearly. From a military point of view, it was an adventure.

After the military adventure failed, Raquel, the deputy head of the army, was captured alive by Harland's territory.In order to save his political future, he led the army to launch another battle when the conditions were not ripe.

This battle also violated the taboo of military strategists, and rashly launched the main decisive battle when the conditions were not ripe.

There are enemy reinforcements coming up from the northern front. Although the number of this enemy is small, there are only two guard squadrons and one auxiliary squadron, close to a thousand, but the enemy is equipped with alchemy bombs, so it should not be underestimated.

As a last resort, Platt could only continue to deploy a brigade of soldiers to defend the north.

The fighting has continued until now, and the orcs only have a large reserve team left.In order to defeat the enemy in the north, Platt went to the front line in person.

"Boom!"

The alchemy bombs continued to explode, and the fiery red lights were like blooming flowers. The broken rocks on the ground were splashed more than ten meters by the air waves, sweeping down a large area of ​​orcs nearby.Under the leadership of grassroots officers and key veterans, the soldiers of Harland's territory immediately rushed forward and killed the wounded orcs.

Platt personally led troops to fight several times, broke through the line of defense, and would immediately be attacked by the mage group.

With the blessing of the lightning staff, the power of the chain lightning is quite extraordinary. When a chain lightning strikes, more than a dozen Platt's soldiers are blown out, and their stumps mixed with gravel are scattered from the sky.

These soldiers of the head of the orc army are all low-level professionals and reserve officers.In an instant, the casualties were heavy, making Platt's heart bleed.

The battle lasted all afternoon, and the orcs on the northern front lost [-] soldiers. Wendy and Sophia released a series of lightning bolts seven times. Seeing that the orc soldiers couldn't move anymore, Platt chose to call a truce.

At the same time, Soros and Richard led troops to end the battle with the orcs.

In this battle, the orcs suffered a small loss on two battlefields, and lost two thousand soldiers in total.

The northern soldiers commanded by Sophia lost only [-] soldiers, and the main force of Harland's territory commanded by Richard only lost [-] soldiers.

On the second day, although the soldiers from Blossom City and Graveson were farther away, they rushed to reinforce them first.

The fifth and sixth brigades almost came out in full force, and they also brought two auxiliary squadrons with them. The number of reinforcements exceeded nearly [-].

The arrival of the three thousand fresh troops on the battlefield, like the last weight on the balance, immediately changed the situation on the battlefield, and the situation of the orcs immediately became worse.

The fifth and sixth brigades were unified under the command of Roland. After Roland led his troops to reinforce, he immediately built a camp one kilometer away from the orc camp, blocking it to the east of the orc camp.

Li Cha led the main force of Harland's territory and built the camp to the south of the orc camp.Soros also took the monster cavalry brigade and built a temporary camp in the north of the orc camp.Together with Sophia's troops, the orc camp was immediately surrounded by soldiers from Harland's territory.

No matter which direction you break out from, you must face a big battle.

The strategic situation has developed to the present situation, and the orcs have become very dangerous.

Tomorrow, reinforcements will arrive from the coalition of nobles in Heihe County, and the human advantage will become even greater.

At that time, the encirclement circle will be stronger, and the Ninth Army under Platt's command may be encircled and wiped out.

Although the two decisions failed, Platt was still a decisive commander. After two battles, Platt knew in his heart that the Orc Front had underestimated the strength of Harland's territory.

Although the territory of Harland has only [-] regular troops, there are [-] auxiliary soldiers. The military strength of this territory is not weaker than that of a developed earldom.

An orc legion whose strength is not much different from the military strength of the Harland Territory.Relying on the Platt Army, after the enemy has a geographical advantage, it is difficult to break through the defense line of Harland's territory.

The orc front army in this battle put a heavy burden on the Platt Legion, making it difficult for the Platt Legion to bear.

After analyzing the situation, that night, Platt immediately issued an order to break out of the siege, and the direction of the breakout was also chosen to be east.

As soon as the orc army moved, it was immediately spotted by scouts from the territory of Harland.

Li Cha immediately ordered the whole army to launch attacks from all directions, put pressure on the orc breakout troops, and want to encircle and wipe out the orcs.

Breakout warfare requires strong organizational skills, and organizational skills are precisely the weakness of the orc army.After all, many races gather in one legion, the language is not easy to communicate, and the organizational ability cannot be improved at all.

Without good organizational skills, there are many problems in the process of breaking through.

In particular, the more than 8000 sheep-body-human auxiliary soldiers collapsed almost halfway.

The rout even disrupted the orcs' positions. Some of the lagging orcs were overtaken by the pursuers, and they couldn't resist for too long in the night.

Platt gathered all the elite soldiers, more than [-] snake-body professionals, together with Platt's guards, formed a powerful attack arrow.

Although Roland and Jennings have camps, dug trenches and arranged antlers, and have a simple line of defense, they still cannot stop them.

The two infantry squadrons blocking the front were defeated, and a large group of orcs broke through the encirclement.

Because it was dark night, Roland and Jennings didn't know how many thousand orcs had broken through?

The clamor of fighting resounded across the battlefield, and there were lit bonfires everywhere. The orcs did not dare to walk the road leading to the military depot, and chose to drill into the hills around the swamp basin.

Li Cha led the soldiers to chase after midnight in the dark, and found that the fighting sounds gradually stopped.Seeing that the sky was about to dawn, he ordered the battlefield to be cleaned, and the battlefield was cleaned up early the next morning.

The fifth and sixth brigades suffered heavy casualties in this battle. The two squadrons were almost completely wiped out by the orcs. In total, only a dozen wounded survived. Including the casualties of other troops, there were more than 300 soldiers killed in battle, and more than [-] people were slightly or seriously injured.

On the frontal battlefield, the two squadrons that blocked the orcs fought very bravely, and they did not collapse almost until the end.

Li Cha personally looked at the battle line and found that the two squadrons had more than 30 snake-bodied people killed and injured in front of the defense, and more than a dozen professional orc officers were also killed.Orc soldiers left more than 100 corpses.

Li Cha knew in his heart that the first reason why these two squadrons were able to fight was because of the race war.

The soldiers and civilians in the northern border have blood feuds with the orcs. As long as they are organized well, they can often fight to the death.Even a lot of underdogs can do that sometimes.Many city defense troops guarding the castle can do this.

The second reason is that Harland Territory's death compensation policy has been implemented for more than ten years, reducing the worries of soldiers and making soldiers willing to sacrifice their lives to fight desperately for the Territory.

The third reason is that the grassroots officers were able to fight the orcs to the end under the leadership of their organizations, until the orcs broke through the line.

The fourth is that the army in the territory of Harland is very disciplined. Not only will you be killed if you flee in battle, but your family will also be reduced to slaves, and you will never be pardoned for the rest of your life.Under the command of the officer, the soldiers can basically fulfill their responsibilities and will not easily collapse.

Seeing such a tragic scene, even though Li Cha had led the army for many years and had already tempered his hard-hearted heart, he still felt a little sad and sad in his heart.With red eyes, he said to the staff around him: "After the battle last night, the Roland and Jennings brigades suffered heavy casualties. Although they did not block the opening and let the orcs escape, it was still the key to victory last night. The first credit should be given to them. After the battle, excellent soldiers should be recruited to replenish No.20 and No.20 squadrons as soon as possible.

This year, many snake-bodied people were killed, and after making enchanted armor, priority was given to replenishing No.20 Three and No.20 Seven Squadrons. "

Except for the heavy casualties of the troops blocking the orcs, the casualties of the other troops were less, adding up to about [-] people.

In the pursuit and annihilation battle last night, the casualties in Harland's territory were about [-].

Counting the previous battles, nearly 700 soldiers in the Harland Territory had been killed, and more than 400 were lightly or severely wounded.The total casualties have exceeded two thousand.

Although the casualties were not small, the results were brilliant.

There were more than 400 orc captives captured last night, more than 800 were goatmen, and about [-] other orc captives.

Orc professionals were sent to Nolan for blood experiments in exchange for more meritorious service.

Ordinary goats can graze and have relatively low life support requirements, so they can easily integrate into Harland's territory.Harland discovered copper ore last year, and the orcs that the Grant Mages Association didn't need could use it to mine and save human resources.

More than 4000 prisoners were captured, and more than [-] orc heads were beheaded.

The orc army that followed Platt to break out of the siege was only about [-].The remaining four or five thousand orcs should have scattered and fled into the surrounding forests.It is estimated that less than half of them can be contained.

By the time the coalition forces of the nobles of Heihe County arrived, the battle was over.

The battlefield has also been cleaned up, and the seized weapons are piled up like a mountain.

Dozens of orc heads were loaded into carts, and the captives lined up in a long queue.

Although the smoke of the battlefield could no longer be smelled, Baron Sharp and other nobles could feel the intensity of the battle.

In just a few years, Harland's territory has become so powerful. This situation makes Sharp, Rice and others feel unbelievable.

Twelve years ago, Li Cha was a junior officer under Sharp's command.His status is far from being compared with Sharp's, and his father, William, can be compared with Sharp's.

Nine years ago, Richard and Baron Rice joined forces to fight against the orcs. At that time, there was not much difference in the strength of the two territories.

In just ten years, the situation in Gerda province has changed dramatically, and Li Cha has developed a powerful territory, and the soldiers of the Harland family have defeated an army of orcs?
Seeing this scene, many nobles were silent.

This is the fear of power, and they knew in their hearts that after this battle, a new nobleman would be added to the Grant Kingdom, and a new power would emerge in the northern region.
