Chapter 45: Troops at Cangjiang River

After waiting for a day, on the third morning, the observers on the front line saw the flag of the orc army.

More than 80,000 orcs covered the sky and the sun, and from a distance they looked like a black tide surging over.

The observer immediately sounded the combat alert.

The machine gunners immediately took their positions and the riflemen were checking their weapons and equipment.

The artillery regiment received the order and prepared for shelling.

Lyon and his men in the command center have already focused their attention on this battle.

This is an army of more than 80,000 orcs. It is impossible to annihilate them all, but how many can be annihilated will determine the future status of Dayan.

The orc army seemed to have discovered the strange position built by Lyon and his men.

The orc army commander Utulu immediately ordered the army to stop.

I looked at the lonely floating bridge on the river.

Then I looked at the position a few thousand meters away.

Uturu sensed something unusual.

After watching for a while, he ordered two hundred-man teams to go and investigate.

Two hundred-man teams rode giant wolves and rushed to the other side at high speed.

As a result, as soon as they reached the other side, they fell into a horse trap.

The archers and spearmen of the Qingchi tribe immediately harvested their lives.

Lyon's army remained motionless.

Quietly holding the hot weapon in his hand.

They only have one chance, or in other words, Lyon and his men must eliminate a large number of enemy forces at one time.

Only in this way can we kill more enemy troops before they react.

Otherwise, by the time the orcs react and form a loose formation, the power of the thermal weapons will be greatly reduced.

The orc commander Utulu saw the two centuries being annihilated.

After thinking for a while, Utulu immediately ordered the dispatch of 20,000 infantrymen.

As the command flag was waved, 20,000 orc light infantry came out.

As the infantry moved out, hundreds of black-robed orcs walked out of the orc army.

The black-robed orcs walked up to the infantry.

He began to cast a spell towards the rushing Cangjiang River.

The rushing Cangjiang River gradually froze.

A two-kilometer-long stretch of ice appeared on the surface of the Cangjiang River.

Extending all the way to the other side.

"Clap!"

An orc light infantryman stepped on it, making a crisp sound.

The orc light infantry were poorly equipped.

Apart from an iron knife, there was only a piece of leather armor and an iron helmet of the Orc Empire standard.

Compared to the light infantry of the human empire, the human light infantry has a piece of light iron armor, iron shoulder straps, an imperial iron sword, and an imperial infantry helmet.

The protective capability is much higher than that of the Orc light infantry.

But the orcs have one advantage, which is that they have a large number of people.

In Cangjiang, 20,000 orc light infantry launched a direct charge.

"Roar!"

Twenty thousand orcs launched an attack from the opposite bank.

Leon saw clearly that the orc army was rushing towards them on the ice, and he couldn't help but marvel at the power of the magician.

Because this is an ice surface that can withstand the charge of 20,000 people.

Lyon was amazed by its sturdiness.

But despite the sighs, Lyon still wants to keep them all here.

The orc army charged madly.

Soon they had crossed two-thirds of the ice surface.

It’s less than 100 meters away from the position.

70 meters...

50 meters...

30 meters...

"Fire!"

The few orcs at the front of the orc army can already see the entire picture of the position.

Wait, why do those people running in the rat holes across the street seem to be humans?

Wait…humans?

As soon as this thought flashed through the orc's mind, he saw a fire lit up in the opposite position the next second.

“Squeak~ Bang, bang, bang! Da, da, da!”

The next second, the orcs fell down like wheat being cut, and at the moment of falling, they heard gunshots they had never heard before.

what is this?

This is the thought in the minds of countless orcs, but no one is destined to answer them because they have already left this world.

As the humans went on a killing spree, both the orcs and orcs were stunned.

What kind of horrible killing weapon is this?

The Orc Empire commander Utulu immediately ordered his troops to withdraw.

But how can it be so easy?

The orcs in the front were defeated and wanted to retreat. The orcs in the middle who were unaware of the situation were still charging forward. The orcs in the back had heard the order to retreat and were retreating.

The orc in front collided with the orc in the middle.

This created an excellent opportunity for the Dayan army.

The MG42 ruthlessly reaped the lives of the orc soldiers.

Wutulu's heart was bleeding as he watched.

In less than five minutes, there was no longer a single orc soldier standing on the ice of Cangjiang River.

Utulu's face turned black when he saw that only 4000 orc soldiers had returned.

Sixteen thousand! Before we even met them, we had already lost thirty thousand soldiers.

Utulu could already imagine how the orc emperor would twist off his skull and use it as a bowl.

Utulu called over a man wearing a black robe with gold patterns.

"Archmage, we can't do anything to the enemy. They have terrible weapons and we can't launch a charge."

Uturu said humbly.

The man in black robe with gold patterns nodded and went to gather the mages.

So there was a strange scene.

Both sides remained motionless, with only the sound of the wind and the howling of giant wolves.

And countless bodies on the ice.

"Boom!"

There was a sound of thunder, and soon it started to rain heavily.

Neither side had anticipated this spring rain.

Within the headquarters.

Lyon looked at the heavy rain and murmured.

“It looks like the harvest is good this year!”

At this moment, Carl on the side grabbed Leon.

"Quick! Let the frontline soldiers hide, the orc wizard is about to start a magic bombardment!"

Lyon acted decisively and quickly notified the three regiments on the front line to withdraw from their positions.

Although Lyon asked his soldiers to dig anti-artillery holes, the magic bombardment was beyond Lyon's control.

So Lyon withdrew all his soldiers except for the machine gun fortress.

Soon, thousands of fireballs fell into the position.

Most of these fireballs are first or second level fireballs.

It's more of a burning thing, which has the effect of an incendiary bomb.

However, the army has withdrawn to the second line of defense.

The orc army's magicians bombarded crazily, thinking that they had defeated Leon and his men so badly that they couldn't even raise their heads.

The orc infantry launched another charge.

The raindrops fell on the ice, causing many orcs to slip.

However, the trend of charging cannot be stopped.

Just when the orcs were about to capture the position.

A few thousand meters behind the position.

Two artillery regiments were ready for bombardment.

More than three hundred cannons with a caliber of over 100 millimeters were aimed at the orc army.

"boom!"

A 105mm cannon fired, hitting the ice directly.

"boom!"

The shell exploded on the ice, raising countless ice fragments, and a hole appeared on the ice surface.

The orcs were stunned.

They thought this was the magician's counterattack, but wasn't this counterattack too weak?

Is it just this one time?

At this moment, the artillery observer is transmitting the accurate parameters to the artillery command post.

After making adjustments, the commander of the artillery regiment revealed a ferocious smile.

"fire!"
