MTL - Heroes of Silver Moon-Chapter 635 : Battle of Yelin River (3)

Although the number of people in the central position is small, Simon still built three lines of defense.

The first line of defense and the third line of defense are commanded by Harris and Gratton, and Simon himself is in command of the second line of defense.

In order to optimize the ratio of combat power, the number of veterans in the first and third lines of defense far exceeds that of the second line of defense.

The Canglang Guard is the personal guard of the Old Khan and the most elite ground force of the Red Scorpion Khanate, which is equivalent to the forbidden army of the human king.

Aside from the mounts, the individual combat ability is by no means inferior to the goshawk warriors. Although there are only more than a thousand people, it is enough to make the enemy feel fear.

The first thing they do when they join the battlefield is to go straight to the central position!

At this moment, the orc army was still more than 200 meters away from the central position, and densely packed shield soldiers walked on the front line, providing cover for the army behind them.

More than a thousand wolf guards bent their bows and set up arrows. The arrows drew a parabola and landed precisely on the heads of the soldiers of the new army. After several rounds of arrows rained down, the soldiers in the trenches suffered heavy losses, and the orc army also took the opportunity to pounce on them.

Seeing this situation, Harris quickly ordered: "Give up the blocking, use the trenches to deal with the orcs, remember, our mission has been completed, and the priority is to save your own life!"

Although it is said that it is a battle to the death, it is impossible for Simon to really let the soldiers die.

The task of the first line of defense is to hit the enemy head-on, and it is impossible for them to completely stop the orc army. If the position is breached, Simon will allow them to give priority to saving their lives.

Because only in this way, in the next battle, these soldiers can continue to fight, causing greater casualties to the orc army.

As for retreating to the second line of defense, that's completely nonsense. There are quite a few orc wolf cavalry who can catch up with them in minutes.

At that time, not only will they not be able to retreat alive, but the soldiers on the second line of defense will also be afraid to shoot, fearing the life and death of their comrades, that would be really stupid.

The soldiers turned to the deeper part of the trench, using the rugged and complex structure, to fight fiercely with the orcs who jumped into the trench. The orc army did not stop, and rushed towards the second line of defense without stopping.

Judging from the banner, the commander of this human army is obviously on the second line of defense in the central position. As long as the human commander is taken down, the battle will end immediately.

"Sacrifice of the four elements, guarded by the wind element!" As the orc army approached, Simon took out his staff, his eyes began to turn white, and the magic power of the wind element quickly gathered.

The orc shaman group fighting with the army noticed such obvious traces of spellcasting, so they immediately counterspelled the human mage.

But unfortunately, the chaotic mana pulse was directly decomposed by the purple light group in Simon's body, exempting the counterspells released by these shamans.

The wind elemental giant several meters high slowly took shape, and when he raised his hand, there were dozens of wind blades, cutting the orc soldiers into pieces.

At the same time, the soldiers on the second line of defense kept pulling the triggers and shooting. Although most of them were recruits, with the support of Simon's spells, it was difficult for the orc army to advance.

"Damn it, that human mage is exempt from counter-magic, Warrior Murray, kill that human mage!" shouted the big shaman leading the shaman group.

Murray, the captain of the Wolf Guard, nodded expressionlessly, then pulled out a magic-breaking arrow with spell runes engraved on it, and slowly aimed at Simon.

The thick arms creaked as they pulled the tire iron bow.

The spell shield on Simon's body can block the bed crossbow fired at close range, and the chain armor made of mithril is even more indestructible, so he has no defense against cold arrows at all.

Whoosh! The magic-breaking arrow flashing with rune light came.

In an instant, the spell shield on Simon's body was broken like paper, and then pierced through the chain mail made of mithril, knocking him flying more than ten meters away.

Even the flags around him were knocked down together.

"The commander of humanity is dead! The commander of humanity is dead!" Seeing Simon's flag fall, the orc soldiers shouted.

The human army, which was fighting hard, looked quickly when they heard this, and found that Simon's flag had fallen, and the morale of the army began to float.

In the cold weapon battlefield where communication is inconvenient, the flag is definitely the best command symbol. When the flag falls, it basically means the death of the owner.

The flag Simon carried with him was handed to him by Queen Stein before the expedition. The pattern was a crown of laurel flowers, representing the royal power of the Silvermoon Kingdom!

Now that the king's flag has fallen, these soldiers are confused. Should they continue to fight?

Grand Duke Gaseppe, who was on the two wings of the town, and Simon's father, Valery, also raised their hearts to their throats.

If Simon really fell, the battle would be defeated immediately!

The morale of the army was fluctuating, and the orcs took the opportunity to attack fiercely. The pressure on the human army increased sharply. The soldiers began to die in large areas, showing faint signs of collapse.

The central front was even more chaotic. The soldiers frantically surrounded Simon, and the second front was easily broken by the Wolf Guard.

The severe pain made Simon almost faint.

The magic-destroying effect of the arrow caused the magic circuit in his body to collapse, and dense blue veins emerged on his body like a spider's web.

Clifford, who was closest to Simon, came first with the reserve mage team. He was overjoyed when he saw that he was not dead, and quickly shouted: "Simon is not dead! Simon is not dead!"

But the cry of a single person is too weak on the battlefield of hundreds of thousands of people, and the human soldiers are still in a state of collapse.

"Wang...... Banner, Wang Banner!" Simon endured the severe pain and pointed at the fallen flag tremblingly. Clifford also reacted instantly, and quickly erected the flag again.

Seeing that the flag was **** again, the human army took a moment of reassurance, and the morale of the collapsed began to pick up, and the offensive of the orc army became more difficult again.

"Canglang Guard, attack that place with all your strength!" Pointing to the re-bundled king's flag, the captain of the guard, Murray, shouted.

This human being must be taken down, otherwise even if they win this battle, they will suffer heavy losses!

After receiving the order, Kong Wu's powerful wolf guards immediately attacked, and with the cooperation of the orc army, launched a fierce attack on Simon's position~www.novelbuddy.com~ The soldiers on the second line of defense kept blocking Simon's side, The original narrow line of defense has now become a perfect circle with Simon as the core.

But this kind of support also caused heavy losses to the soldiers of the new army on the second line of defense. The line of defense of 2,000 men now has less than 500 men.

They surrounded Simon tightly, blocking the attack of the orc army, just like a piece of firewood facing a tsunami, small and firm.

But the steady stream of orc army, with a resolute attitude, continued to erode this remnant army, and Simon's besieged and killed seemed to be a foregone conclusion.

"No no no no!" Valery, who was in charge of the left wing position, shook his head struggling when he saw this situation.

Deploy to Nima's battlefield! If you go to Nima, leave me alone! You are my son, how could I ignore you!

"Everyone, follow me back to the central position, to the coach!" Valery gritted his teeth, and led the soldiers from the left wing towards the central position.

The old knight Sylvia followed closely behind. He actually had a grandfather-like feeling for this young Master Simon who had grown up with him.

Although Simon's putting on airs before made him a little unhappy, but this did not hinder his love for this young master Simon.

At worst, this battle is over, just accept Simon's apology...

The change of the left-wing position was not hidden from the right-wing position, and it was impossible to hide it at all. Grand Duke Gaseppe looked tangled, and finally gritted his teeth and asked the soldiers to return to the central position.

At this point, it has become meaningless to just defend the right-wing position. It is better to return to the central position together. With concerted efforts, they may be able to last longer.

Mad, it's already this time, why hasn't Simon sounded the counterattack horn?
