Chapter 438 Relief (Part 1)
Few units can match the orc infantry for a frontal charge.
The orcs, who are taller than horses, are not afraid of human cavalry at all. As long as they dodge the first wave of cavalry thrusts, even if the impact of humans and horses is added, it will only be 50-50 for both sides to kill the other.
But now, it is the human cavalry regiment rushing to the rear.
Orgrim could almost foresee that a tragedy was about to take place.
Bolvar's war horse was panting heavily, and the four hooves trampling on the ground seemed extremely heavy.
Of course, when an orc looked back, he opened his mouth in astonishment. What did he see?
A bunch of orc skewers!
Relying on his unscientific power of holy light, Bolvar directly transformed into a saint warrior.
You must know that the middle part of the cavalry lance uses a fragile and easily broken gun shaft. This is to avoid the strong reaction force after stabbing the enemy and knocking the knight off the horse. However, under the infusion of the power of the holy light, the cavalry spear, which was clearly broken by itself, was turned into a steel spear by Bovar, piercing three orcs in one breath, and still continued to attack the enemy with a strong momentum and the power of the holy light .
Three, four, five... In the end, seven orcs were stabbed to death on Bolvar's specially lengthened six-meter spear.
It wasn't until the seventh orc was pierced that Bolvar threw away the lance that had finally exploded, letting the string of undead orcs struggle on the ground.
The moment he let go, Bolvar had accurately grasped the warhammer tied to the right side of the saddle. Before touching the next enemy, the huge warhammer circled in the air.
One of the orcs opened its mouth wide, not sure whether it was about to warn his companions or growl, but a polo-like undercut of Bolvar's warhammer easily shattered his jaw. This blow also broke his neck by the way. The orc flew upside down and fell on the road ahead of Bolvar, who trampled over him on his horse...
Behind him came the galloping knights.
The reason why knights are several grades higher than cavalry is because a qualified knight has to go through more than five years of training at the shortest. From aristocratic etiquette to the edification of knight creed, from horsemanship, spearmanship to swordsmanship and other all-round combat skills training.
It is no exaggeration to say that the energy spent on training a qualified knight is enough to train a hundred cavalrymen.
It is the gathering of the elites of the three countries that can gather so many knights.
Almost every knight has gained in the impact of the first round.
They perfectly cut a huge hole in the orc formation, while cavalry from behind brandished swords and warhammers, further spreading the orc chaos.
The entire rear army of the orcs was cut to pieces by the war cavalry of the Three Kingdoms.
Behind the cavalry is the marching infantry. Compared with the gorgeous cavalry lineup, the infantry is a bit less. 20,000 Storm King **** are all. These infantry who have experienced the baptism of war, they violently swept up the scattered orcs, and stabbed the orcs who turned their heads to them one by one.
They followed the footsteps of the cavalry, trying to quickly cross the entire battlefield and rush to the northeast of Lordaeron City.
"Stop them! Just get into the melee!"
Forget about being pierced by cavalry, but you still want to use infantry to go around?
Orgrim was also so angry that he wanted to laugh.
At this moment, the ballista in the city was fired, and the rain of arrows and boulders fell on the front of the densely packed orc army.
Haas, Ryan, and Solas led their cavalry to break through the rear of the entire orc army and split them perfectly. After piercing through the formation, they were divided into three parts, circled the smallest circle, and then entered the rear army from another opening, turning the entire rear army upside down. No organized orc army could deal with it. Human infantry on the charge pose a sufficient threat.
The orcs were confused and didn't know what to do. But when they faced the walls the Union army attacked from behind them, and when they turned their heads to these cavalry, they were attacked by the defenders. They had not yet taken the walls, so they could not retreat into the city.
If the fight continues like this, they will only be bloodletted in the chaos.
Orgrim was astonished!
This is simply beyond all the military common sense of the orcs. Why can the human cavalry always find the weakest link of the orcs in fierce battles and strike hard? Why not attack those troops that seem to be flaws but are actually ambushed by elite orcs? Why……
Just above the tower of Lordaeron, Arthas looked at Duke who was giving orders beside him in astonishment.
Magic communication is only suitable for fixed-point communication. In the moving state, the spatial positioning is lost, and the message cannot be received at all.
Duke has a better way.
"Tell Ryan to turn left 30 degrees, and kill from the army with a slightly earthy complexion. That is the iron sand clan, the second-rate clan of the tribe."
"Solas, you charge too hard. Hell, you're the king."
Even though Duke complained so violently, the two beautiful elf rangers beside Duke, one on the left and one on the right, with one golden and one silver hair color, still frantically passed on Duke's words with their beautiful voices.
General Halduron Bright Wing explained to Prince Arthas: "That is [Wind Whisper], a unique skill of the Windrunner family, which can transmit the sound with the wind and reach the ear of the designated person within several miles. .”
"So powerful? Then can I invite some elves who know [Whisper of the Wind] to be my vassals?"
Embarrassment was written on Halduron's face: "Sorry, there are only four Windrunners in the world who know this skill, and...all of them are the direct vassals of His Majesty Marcus."
"Is that so..." Alsace had obvious regret on his face.
At this time, the battle situation changed again.
The cavalry regiment of the alliance made a surprise attack from the rear of the orcs and then returned to the vicinity of the lake, and then the city's defenses were launched again.
Although the continuous blows almost made the orcs unable to find the north, unfortunately the orcs were not many in number, but they were extremely elite.
A row of the burliest orcs greeted Solas' Highland Knights in the direction they were charging. Solas became more careful, and rushed towards the position almost to the right of the pawn line.
The result of the cavalry charge surprised Solas.
After losing the cavalry, the cavalry no longer had medium and long-range attack weapons. Normally, no one would want to collide with galloping horses.
Obviously, these orcs with a height of more than eight feet (nearly two and a half meters) are exceptions. Whether they are chopping down or swinging up, their huge and long warhammers can ignore the weight of nearly a ton of people and horses, and ignore them. The terrifying momentum instantly knocked the man and the horse flying backwards.
