HBWnovel Chapter 625 Bone Burial Ground
Chapter 625 Bone Burial Ground
The two armies collided with each other. The soldiers of the Holy Empire had no intention of retreating at all, and they ran headlong into the attacking Orc Empire army.
The two sides started a cold weapon battle on the prairie in Pilchet.
In the Holy Empire Army.
"John, do you think we can get back alive?"
A boy of fifteen or sixteen asked another boy of fifteen or sixteen beside him.
"I don't know... The Marquis said we will win!"
"So how do we win?"
"Of course, we should stop the orcs on the opposite side and buy time for the people behind us..."
"Then will we die?"
After the two teenagers finished speaking, they simultaneously fell into deep thought.
Death... is both far away and very close...
War is imminent...
The Imperial Army relied on powerful crossbows to consume a large number of manpower of the Orc Empire when the two sides approached each other.
Although the orc soldiers are tall and strong, their armor is very limited.
In other words, the Orc Empire is a country that is poor in iron. Their soldiers generally wear leather armor, or some even don't wear armor at all.
The main feature is that he has thick skin and can withstand beatings.
Only generals are worthy of armor.
But the situation on the Imperial Army's side is completely different.
Although the army led by Balian was a ragtag army, all soldiers of the Holy Empire were equipped with armor.
It’s just that the ordinary soldiers of the miscellaneous army were equipped with chain mail.
Then he put on a coat with the seal of the Holy Empire on it.
Just like the Western Crusaders dressed like that.
Moreover, these chain mails are castrated versions, which can only protect parts of the body, and cannot provide protection for the arms, neck, and legs.
But all soldiers were equipped with armor, which was the Holy Empire's invincible weapon.
Not to mention that the Holy Empire also has 80 elite soldiers who are equipped with standard imperial armor.
A proper full set of armor.
An elite Imperial Army soldier first puts on a full-body mail armor, and then puts on a standard armor.
After putting on the helmet, you also need to put on an iron mask.
The total weight of this set of equipment exceeds 100 kilograms. Perhaps ordinary people simply cannot bear this weight, but don’t forget that this is a magical world, not to mention that the Holy Empire Army has a large number of fighting knights.
These 80 elite imperial army soldiers formed the backbone of the Holy Empire.
There are also nearly 200 million miscellaneous troops. Although they are called miscellaneous troops, their combat effectiveness is not bad at all.
Balian led this 100,000-strong ragtag army to support Pirchet in the Violet Principality.
The main force of the Holy Empire is now led by Kuneberg and is sweeping across the Demon Empire.
This resulted in the Holy Empire being depleted of military strength.
At this time, the Orc Empire took advantage of the situation and invaded.
After many unsuccessful attempts to break through the northern defenses,
The Orc Empire's army finally chose to bypass the Demon Empire, and then directly broke into the border of the Violet Principality.
At this time, the Violet Duchy had just been defeated by Kuneberg, and the entire country could not afford a decent army.
Unable to resist the invasion of the Orc Empire, more than 30 Violet People were massacred and 80 were forced into exile.
The blood from the corpse dyed the entire Cangjiang River red.
Balian, who was stationed in the northern border of the Holy Empire, was ordered to gather a ragtag army of 100,000 from within the Holy Empire and head straight to the Violet Principality to resist the attack from the Orc Empire.
Most of this ragtag army of 100,000 were young men from various principalities of the Holy Empire. Many of them had never been on the battlefield, and a small number of them were militiamen who had undergone brief training.
Only a very small number are soldiers of the Holy Empire.
But it is this army that was put together temporarily, and they have to complete an impossible task...
That is to stop the iron hooves of 30 elite orcs.
In order to ensure that the army could withstand the attack of the Orc Empire, Balian brought all of his 3000 Violet Knights to the battlefield.
Wherever he passed, there were corpses everywhere. There were hardly any orcs to be seen, only countless fellow countrymen who died tragically...
However, these tragically dead compatriots were almost all slaughtered by the Orc Empire's vanguard scouts...
The Orc Empire doesn't have much else, but it has a lot of mounts...
From the wolf to the tiger.
The Orc Empire has over two million war mounts.
This means that the Orc Empire can mobilize 200 million light cavalry at any time.
Of course, 200 million is just a figure on paper. If you want to support 200 million cavalry, you have to conquer the whole world...
Otherwise, nothing can be discussed...
However, the ragtag army led by Balian suffered many misfortunes.
What they ran into was the elite of the Orc Empire. Among these 30 people, 15 were elite cavalry.
Each cavalryman rode on a huge wolf, and all of them wore simple iron armor.
Balian knew from the beginning that this battle would be a massacre without any suspense...
But he is now the commander of an army. He not only controls the lives of these 100,000 people, but also the lives of millions of compatriots in the rear...
Maybe Balian thought about stationing troops in the city to resist the attack from the Orc Empire.
However, the Orc Empire broke through the border city of Fatika to the west of the Violet Principality with thundering force.
However, behind Fatika is a vast grassland that stretches for hundreds of kilometers. There are no towns on it, only countless small villages...
And Pirchet is the valley closest to Fatika.
This is the best place to stop the Orc Empire's army...
It is also the tomb where Balian's army is buried...
One hundred thousand miscellaneous troops faced 30 thousand well-trained troops of the Orc Empire. The outcome was self-evident...
As the sun set, the drizzle stopped and the weather turned sunny.
After fighting for most of the day, all 100,000 miscellaneous troops had been killed.
The bodies of both sides were scattered throughout the Pirchet Valley.
Although the 100,000-strong ragtag army was completely wiped out, the opposing Orc Empire army was also half-dead.
Due to the valley terrain, the cavalry of the Orc Empire army was unable to break through the formation.
I could only watch helplessly as the infantry of both sides collided.
Relying on the bows and crossbows in their hands, the ragtag army of the Holy Empire inflicted heavy casualties on the well-trained elite of the Orc Empire.
10 miscellaneous troops replaced nearly 14 elite infantry of the Orc Empire.
The commander of the Orc Empire on the opposite side was dumbfounded when he saw this scene.
These are 15 elite infantrymen! They can't even defeat miscellaneous troops?
And it almost failed...
The commander of the Orc Empire's army really wanted to find a piece of tofu and hit himself to death.
But he still held back, because victory was just around the corner and the opposing Holy Empire had no soldiers left.
These orcs never thought about the horror of the infantry formation. Facing an infantry formation with long-range attacks and tight arrangements, no matter what kind of enemy it is, they will be thrown into this meat grinder!
In the eyes of the orcs, the appearance of these 100,000 ragtag troops only delayed the arrival of the massacre.
Their efforts are meaningless!
The great Sirius God will protect us and help us tear everything apart!
The 15 elite Orc Empire cavalry were ready to charge, until they encountered the 3000 Violet Knights hiding at the back...
These elite orc cavalry looked at the sudden appearance of the violet cavalry and stopped charging at the same time.
Because as opponents, they had already experienced the methods of the Violet Knight in the North.
Can’t beat it…Isn’t this just a small soldier encountering an elite monster?
The Orc Empire Cavalry wanted to force away these Violet Knights by outnumbering them. After all, if the Orc Empire Cavalry wanted to kill a Violet Knight, they would need to sacrifice at least 3 to 5 people.
But what they didn't know was that these 3000 Violet Knights were ready to die here...
