The Swordsman of Faerûn

Chapter 601 I will lead the charge
When they saw William's uninvited guests in armor and soldiers, the sergeants of the Black Sword Legion from Zhentil Castle showed excellent military qualities. The carriages formed a circle, but some slaves with slow hands and feet stepped forward and killed them with a sword.

After the carriages were assembled for a while, the sergeants of the Black Sword Legion no longer cared about the slaves pulling the carriages, and quickly walked out of the carriage circle to form a formation.

They are not worried that the captured male slaves will escape, because the wives and children of these cart slaves are locked in the carriage.As long as there is a guy who escapes, his family and children will inevitably become the blood of the orcs, and one or two slaves in the same group will be randomly selected, including their families, to be cooked and killed by the orcs, which is the so-called joint punishment.

So even if one of the male slaves wanted to run away regardless of the life and death of his family, the others would try their best to stop him.

The soldiers under William lined up in an untidy formation, slowly but firmly advancing towards the carriage circle, while the human sergeants of Zhentil Fort formed a slightly relaxed skirmish line and began to advance slowly.

As the most irritable and undisciplined soldiers, the orcs naturally wouldn't line up obediently. Of course, they were not stupid, knowing that single-handedly attacking the human formation was an act of death.

Therefore, several of the strongest orcs looked at each other, then the hedgehogs gathered together and howled at the same time, and then other orcs also howled and came up.

They were scattered and crowded together, distinguishing their positions by their strength and physique, and some even scuffled each other a few times, until all the orcs felt that they had found their proper place.

The orcs find their positions very quickly, and it only takes a few minutes for orcs who are familiar with each other to determine where they should stay in the battle formation.

Of course, if unfamiliar or unfamiliar orcs form an formation together, it will be miserable. If they don't fight a few times internally and kill a group of unlucky ones who are too hard-headed, the orc formation will never be able to form. Of course, if they It's another story when there is a strong enough orc leader (see Kingdom of Arrows).

The orcs huddled together suddenly shouted in unison. They were like a herd of frightened wild boars, even though they were still separated by hundreds of steps, they rushed towards the army formation in the refugee camp.

There was no formation, no order, and no one to direct them. The orcs just ran wildly in such a disorderly manner, rushing towards William and his men at a speed close to sprinting.

Although William was somewhat disdainful of the orc's almost mindless charge, he actually didn't dare to underestimate it.The reason is only because of the perverted racial advantage of the orcs.

The average adult male—orcs are all over two meters tall, and some with prominent physiques can even reach over two meters five (the half-giant Phinea's height is less than two meters four); corresponding to the height of the orcs is , The strength and stamina of the orcs are also exceptional. They can overthrow the bison with bare hands, and even break the neck of the bison; the orcs can run two kilometers at a sprint speed, which is not even the case for relatively good war horses.

When the orcs who launched the pig rush attack were fully armed, their power was almost the same as that of the heavy cavalry charging into the formation. In essence, they were a group of super infantry with the impact of heavy cavalry.So even though their tactics are crude and rough, they can gallop across the land of Faerun for thousands of years without falling down. I don't know how many famous or not famous city-states and kingdoms fell under the charge of the orcs.

The orc race in Faerun is indeed very perverted. Whether it is humans, elves, dwarves or other races, basically they are not opponents of the same number of orcs in battles in the wild, and they are almost all taken away in waves. Human heavy cavalry can struggle a little.

In order to fight against the orc's charge tactics, the dwarves who had been pushed into a hurry even developed the profession of war mad dwarves as a means of confrontation.

The so-called war mad dwarves must have the strongest will, the most fanatical fighting spirit, and the spirit of daring to die. They wear heavy armor full of spikes and barbs and steel nails and iron boots, facing The orc's swine charge launched a deadly reverse charge to interrupt the orc's charge.As far as the fighting style of the war mad dwarves is concerned, a narrow escape is not enough to describe their loss rate. The dwarves who are qualified to become a war mad dwarf are all the top elites among the dwarves. bearable.Therefore, after the war mad dwarves prospered in history for a while, they inevitably disappeared in the dark of time.

It is said that now only the king of Mithril Hall, Bruno Warhammer, still has a few dwarves who know the law of war madness (after all, Mithril Hall was too rich).

Magic and solid walls are the effective means for normal human troops to resist the impact of orcs. William and the others have no walls, only two poor spellcasters, and their magic power is just a flower in the mirror and a moon in the water.

But they have William.

As a powerful flame lord who could rival the incarnation of the gods, William even had the confidence to kill these orcs and Zhentil Castle sergeants alone, although it might take a little effort.

However, William's fundamental purpose was not to kill the soldiers of Zhentil Castle. What he wanted was for those affected by the disaster to be freed from the disaster.

The so-called giving a man a fish is not as good as giving a man a fish. Only when the disaster victims re-establish their homes and live independently with a proud attitude can William's goal be successfully achieved.

Therefore, in this process, William can show super inhuman combat effectiveness, but he must not do things that one person can conquer the world by himself.If these professional soldiers under him become spectators on the battlefield who can only rely on William, it will be completely ruined!
Of course, today is the first real first battle for the team under William. Although he has initially cultivated the soldiers' sense of cooperation through hunting operations in the forest, their combat experience, resistance to pressure and self-confidence are still lacking. very.Therefore, William needs to control the intensity of the enemies they have to face, so as not to be overwhelmed by an overly powerful enemy.

So when he saw the orcs launch a pig charge, William first ordered the pale Baird, then raised the Latis gun in his hand, and roared loudly: "I will lead the charge! Crush the enemy's charge !"

Before the words were finished, William rushed out instantly like a sports car with a sudden gas pedal.

But within two or three breaths, even before the soldiers of the refugee corps marched in line to understand what their lord had done, William had already collided with the fastest orc.
