Chapter 715 Battle by the River
At noon, 500 elves' reinforcements had arrived, and a total of more than 1,600 people gathered by the wooden bridge over the creek.
The originally wide wooden bridge surface has been occupied by many spikes made from wooden sticks, which are densely packed and extend directly from the other side of the wooden bridge to Caroline and the others.
The reason why the wooden bridge was not destroyed directly was because such a small river could not actually stop the orcs. If the wooden bridge was left there, the orcs would most likely choose to focus on the bridge, which would make it easier for them to kill a group of orcs.
Because Ike had led his guards to hide behind the crowd at the bridgehead, and the two small steel cannons were also neatly arranged.
As long as the orcs dare to step onto the bridge, it will definitely become a hornet's nest. Although this is a one-time deal, I believe it will have a significant effect by catching the other party off guard.
Gervis originally ordered Bernard to cast a total of five cannons, and the other three small steel cannons were placed on both wings of the team to deal with those orcs who directly forced their way across the river.
As they had made all the preparations, they finally saw the orc army accompanied by billowing dust on the horizon across the river.
"There are fifty flaming giant lizards! And a Komodo beast! These are the elite soldiers of the beastman royal family!"
As the huge orc in the distance got closer and closer, everyone finally saw the orc's specific situation clearly.
The elven elder who had fought several battles with the orcs immediately cried out.
He recognized that those who were coming aggressively from afar were not ordinary orcs, but the real elite of the orc tribe.
Although there had been frictions between the elves and the orcs in the past, they were basically invasions by orcs from ordinary tribes.
The reason for doing this is that the orcs tried to slowly suppress the elves, gradually compressing the elves into the depths of the sacred forest, and then slowly taking action to make the elves afraid to put up too much resistance.
After all, the real enemy of the orcs is the human race who has equal strength. If the orcs really dare to focus their energy on the sacred forest and force the elves into a desperate situation, they will definitely fight the elves to the death, and in the end it will be the human race that benefits.
"Get ready for a fight! No matter where they come from! If they want to enter the sacred forest, they will have to pay a price!"
Although Gust's face was equally solemn, he had already decided to fight to the death, so there was naturally no possibility of retreating!
"Everyone prepare to fight!"
"Everyone prepare to fight!"
As the orders were passed down, the humans drew their swords one after another, and the elves took off their longbows from their backs in unison.
…
"Sir, the Sacred Forest is ahead! But they seem to be on guard, with a team of more than 1,500 people on the riverside."
The ones marching towards the Sacred Forest with great momentum are naturally Dosalon’s revenge team.
After more than ten days of travel, he led more than 3,000 beastman warriors to the edge of the sacred forest.
Since it is not possible to kill the Elf Queen and the God of Revenge for the time being.
Then just slaughter all the human beings here in one fell swoop, which can be regarded as collecting some interest and venting your anger.
When they were about to reach the edge of the sacred forest, they immediately saw the humans and elves in the distance who had already been preparing for a formidable attack.
"Haha! These weak humans actually want to stop my revenge! Tell the warriors to speed up!"
Facing the team that was ready for battle on the river bank, Dosalon didn't know how to care.
If the opponents were all elves, he would consider it carefully.
But there were only a few hundred elves on the river bank, and most of the others were humans.
In this way, let alone the fact that the other side has fewer people than himself, even if the other side really has thousands more people than himself, Dosalon has the confidence that he can defeat the other side in an instant and chop into pieces their fragile bodies.
The three thousand men behind him were the three thousand most elite private soldiers under his command, and were no worse than his brother the Beast King's royal city guards.
"roar!"
Upon hearing Dosalon's order, the three thousand elite orc soldiers roared and then rushed towards the wooden bridge.
"stop!"
A few minutes later, three thousand orcs finally arrived on the other side of Caroline and others, and with Dosalon's order, the orc team stopped temporarily.
"Hey, isn't this Elder Fu En? You old immortal are not dead yet! Haha!"
After stopping the team, Dosalon first took a look at the overall strength of the opposite side and found that the human race was basically composed of silver knights, and there were very few gold knights. He immediately looked at the other side with compassion.
Finally, he looked at the elf team and found that it was led by an elven elder he knew, and he immediately burst into laughter.
Many years ago, the Beast King sent Dosalon to negotiate with the elves about allowing the orcs to enter the sacred forest to hunt, and the one who met with Dosalon was the elf elder Vorn.
There was an unpleasantness between the two parties at the beginning, and now that he came to take revenge, he could meet this old immortal, so Dosalon was naturally very happy.
"Dosalon? It's you! What are you doing here? Do you want to cause a war between the elves and the beastmen before the God's Falling Land opens?"
The elf elder Fawn also remembered the prince Dosalon, and immediately frowned and questioned loudly.
"Wrong, wrong, wrong! Fuen, it's not me who wants to start a war with the elves, but you elves! I'm here for revenge! Now, I ask you weak elves and humans to die!"
Dosalon had a bloodthirsty smile on his face, and he was not going to delay any longer. Then his expression changed and he spoke to the subordinates beside him.
"Pikun, take ten giant lizards and five hundred men and start attacking immediately. Don't leave any enemy alive!"
"Yes, sir!"
Then the orc captain named Pikun personally rode on the Flame Lizard, the other nine-headed lizards and five hundred orcs towards the bridgehead.
"Kill all those humans, kill all those elves!"
When Pikun arrived at the bridge head riding a four or five meter long flame giant lizard, he looked at the densely packed barbs on the bridge surface, smiled contemptuously, then raised the heavy long sword in his hand, roared and stepped onto the wooden bridge.
"Kill them all! Kill them all! Kill them all!"
The orcs behind immediately followed with roars.
Because there were ten flame giant lizards leading the way in front, the barbs as thick as an adult's arm could not stop the beasts at all. The giant lizards could crush the wooden spikes with just a strong flick of their tails.
"Hold on! Hold on! Everyone get ready!"
Although there were only 500 orcs at the bridgehead for the time being, the orcs were tall and fierce, and with the addition of the ten ferocious beasts, they immediately had the upper hand in momentum.
Fortunately, the human race’s Silver Knights were also experienced in battles in Eurasia, and although their faces were solemn, no one showed any fear.
As Gust began to give orders, the titled knights on the human side also lowered their bodies, staring at the surging beastmen with eager eyes!
"Ike!"
When hundreds of orc soldiers crowded onto the bridge, Gust shouted.
Then the title knights who were blocking Ike and the others quickly separated to the two sides, and faced the hundreds of orcs on the bridge and became two black gun barrels.
"Cannons, listen up! Target the orcs ahead! Fire!"
Boom! Boom!
As Ik gave the order, the small cannon that had already been loaded with shotgun shells immediately made an earth-shaking explosion as the two soldiers lit the fuse.
Accompanied by a burst of white smoke rising, dozens of lychee-sized lead bullets stuffed in the two gun barrels blasted towards the orcs who filled the bridge like fairy flowers.
Puff! Puff! Puff!
Roar! Roar! Roar!
Before Pikun and others on the bridge understood what was happening, they immediately felt themselves under a fierce attack.
After the sound of "pu pu" entering the flesh, there was a terrible wailing sound.
Although these orcs are at least silver knights, and each of them has thick skin and strong flesh.
But this small steel cannon is not a matchlock gun. At a distance of dozens of meters, the power of the small steel cannon can blow even an iron plate several centimeters thick into pieces, let alone a flesh and blood body.
In an instant, the orcs leaning in the front row were shot like sieves, and dozens of them fell down.
Even the golden knights of Nabikun were no exception. They and the giant lizards under them were covered in blood and no longer looked like human beings.
"Little cannon! Fire!"
The orcs on the bridge were stunned! They didn't understand what was going on!
But at this moment, with Gandalf's order, the three small cannons on both wings opened fire at the bridge again!
Boom boom boom!
Puff puff puff!
The three small cannons were still firing shotgun shells, and because they were attacking from the side, the area covered by the lead bullets became larger. Without the obstruction of the flame giant lizard, the orcs on the bridge fell down in large numbers in an instant. This wave actually killed and injured hundreds of orcs!
…
“This…what is this thing!?”
Dosalon, who was standing not far away and was originally full of confidence and wanted to look at the trembling human race, was suddenly stunned.
Unfortunately, this small cannon was used for the first time in the Holy Continent, so naturally no one answered him what it was.
"No, we can't attack from the wall anymore!"
After a while, Dosalon finally came to his senses. He watched the hundreds of orcs on the bridge continue to crowd and jump off the bridge. Dosalon was not stupid. He knew that he was careless and was ambushed by the human race. He definitely couldn't jump off the bridge.
Immediately, Dosalon roared.
"Everyone, rush! Don't crowd together, cross the river and rush across!"
"kill!"
Following Dosalon's order, all the orcs moved. They no longer chose to attack from the bridge, but stepped into the icy river one after another.
Thanks to "奶罩、掉了" for the reward!!!
