However, this time the defender's defense point still occupies the geographical advantage, attacking from high to low, and the defense line is not long, and the orcs are also limited in the number of troops they can lay out.

The size of the defense line limited the size of the troops deployed by the orcs, but with past combat experience, the first batch of orc offensive teams directly assembled the most elite soldiers of the entire army to launch a surprise attack.

In this kind of battle, the orcs have also learned well. They cannot use the human sea tactic to drown them. They must fight quickly and suddenly.

Otherwise, once the battle situation reaches a stalemate, the human army will enter the strangulation they are best at, turning the battlefield into an orc slaughterhouse.

This was already clear from everyone's review at the time, so elite troops were directly sent to attack in this battle.

Three thousand elite orcs have been assembled. The lowest level of each orc is high-level, and they are wearing the most elite and thick armor, and are ready for all protection.

After giving the order to attack, the three thousand orcs quickly broke into pieces and disappeared into the night.

At the same time, the prepared strong bow and arrow array also launched their own "fire suppression". Thousands of arrow feathers arced across the sky and flew to the Qingyuan Army's position.

Without the protection of battlements and fortresses, the Qingyuan Army could only temporarily hide in the pre-prepared anti-gun caves when faced with such an attack.

Normally, this thing is used to resist artillery attacks, but now that there is a gap between the technological weapons between the enemy and ourselves, this thing can only be used to defeat a rain of arrows.

At the same time, the two artillery batteries in the rear were not idle. When the orcs launched an arrow rain offensive, the artillerymen who had been prepared immediately adjusted the angle of the artillery to counterattack.

Eighteen artillery shells crossed the mountains to form a beautiful arc and fell into the orc crossbow position.

Although there were crossbowmen who were ready to evacuate, they did not expect the artillery counterattack to be so fast. Some of the crossbow orcs who had not had time to evacuate were directly blown into pieces.

The orcs were also well prepared. One of the crossbowmen's positions was bombed, while the other's simple crossbowmen's position continued to fire arrows.

But this time they all learned the lesson. After attacking twice, they had to disperse immediately. This kind of arrow rain suppression was already full.

Moreover, the attack point is still a defense line that is more than eighty meters long, and the density of arrows is like raindrops, making a clanging sound.

Under such suppression, the scattered orc elite troops had reached a distance of less than 100 meters.

At this time, the heavy machine gun hidden under the simple bunker also roared.

Although the defense line of the position is less than 80 meters, it has three levels, upper and lower, like trenches. There are sixteen similar heavy machine gun bunkers on it from high to low.

The metal storm erupted simultaneously by sixteen heavy machine guns ruthlessly harvested the lives of the orcs like the god of death on the battlefield.

The commando team has already rushed to the human position, and the archers behind have also stopped attacking to prevent accidental injuries.

At the moment when the heavy machine gun sounded, the soldiers in the anti-gun cave had already opened the barriers and poured out of the cave. They arrived at their own fighting positions and began to resist the orcs' surprise attack.

The sudden burst of powerful firepower stunned the attacking orc team. They were suppressed for several seconds before reluctantly continuing to attack.

Els, who was fighting on the front line, saw that the orcs were extraordinary, and without hesitation directly ordered the mortar positions in the rear to provide coverage and support to the front line.

Else's intuition was correct. Each of the charging orcs was fully armed, and they came with a force barrier against the metal storm.

The lethality of ordinary rifles is also limited, and it is difficult to deal with such an orc soldier. It is impossible to kill him unless he is under heavy machine gun fire.

The distance of less than a hundred meters is already a very dangerous distance for the Qingyuan Army.

Fortunately, the artillery support arrived in time, overwhelming the powerful orc elites and forcing them to retreat more than 20 meters.

Due to the complex terrain of the pass, the workload of calculating ballistics in a timely manner is huge, so the attack and suppression areas are prepared in advance to block or intercept to help.

But even this kind of help caused the orcs to suffer a lot.

After a night of fierce fighting, many orc corpses were piled up on the position at the entrance of the pass, but in the end it was the orcs who succeeded in capturing it.

The Qingyuan Army paid the price of more than 30 men and retreated to the second line of defense to prepare.

Although the orc army successfully captured the first pass, Hadri and the three extraordinary faces did not look good.

It took one night and the cost of more than 600 people to capture the first pass. This loss seems very small, but you must know that these more than 600 people are all high-level orcs, and each of them is wearing the most elite. of armor.

Under such a siege, they still paid such a heavy price, which gave them no hope of subsequent advancement.

"How is the exploration of the mountain road going?"

Hadrillo asked the person next to him a little tiredly.

"We have advanced almost five hundred meters, and the explosion area behind is getting sparser. The cleaning work should be almost completed. At the same time, Lord Chaofan has also detected it. There are three paths that can be crossed directly to the back of the pass, and people can be organized to set off. "

After hearing a piece of good news that was not too good, Hadri sighed slightly in his heart.

The various difficulties he encountered during his expedition made him somewhat suspicious that the beast was born. No matter how unlucky the orc was, he wouldn't be so unlucky, right?

I just hope that I can push through here quickly and advance to the broken vein.

"Report, Lord Qianjun, we just got the news that the imperial army behind us is less than 120 kilometers away and will catch up with us at noon tomorrow at the earliest."

Hearing the movements of the imperial army, Hadri became even more helpless. After nodding slightly to show that he understood, he looked towards the pass and waited for the results of the battle on the front line.

After the first pass was taken, the orcs regrouped and rested their team, and the second commando team also attacked.

Suddenly, violent explosions and gunfire erupted in the pass canyon, compared to the positions at the entrance of the pass.

The rear area has more preparation time, and the equipment and weapons that can be deployed are more complete and stronger than the entrance defense line. The orcs who attack face a firepower several times stronger than the entrance defense line.

Under such suppression, the attacking orcs were forced to retreat in less than an hour.

This situation made Hadri so angry that his teeth almost broke, but he couldn't make the extraordinary ones dispatch. The conventional army had no way to deal with the Qingyuan army.

This feeling of helplessness made Hadley wish he could go to the battlefield to fight in person.

But this kind of danger is very high, and it is impossible to use common sense combat methods to deal with Qingyuan's army. Even if his strength is at the master level, he cannot achieve real-time defense in an environment full of bullets.

At the same time, with the retreat of the first attack, the scouts on the valley road returned good news that the mountain road was opened!

After hearing this, Hadri left and organized 30,000 soldiers, intending to pass through the mountains and go around from the rear to eat the Qingyuan Army.

But less than half an hour after the army set off, violent explosions came from the valley on the front line.

At the same time, bursts of muffled sounds reached the temporary headquarters under the reverberation of the explosion.

Such a violent scale gave Hadri a bad premonition.

After a while, Miweko came back here with a dark face. Looking at the other party's face, Hadri's heart thumped and he asked in a deep voice.

"what happened?"

"Damn humans, they placed a lot of explosives on both sides of the mountain, blowing up the entire mountain. Three mountain roads were buried, more than 10,000 soldiers were buried, and many were trapped inside. The most people who can come out alive are Less than half.”

Miweko gritted his teeth and reported the situation of the explosion to Hadri. Upon hearing such news, Hadri felt completely helpless at the moment.

"How's the situation behind the humans, how's the exploration going?"

"There are still two lines of defense, but once we get through them, there will be a plain behind them. We can quickly deploy across them and take advantage of our numerical advantage."

Miweko briefly explained the previous situation. Hadri's brain was thinking at full speed at the moment, and he gave the result within a moment.

"Continue to send people to the blown-up mountain road. No matter how difficult the road conditions are, we must cross it, and let the troops in the pass and gorge continue to attack. It must be cleared before noon. This is a fatal order."

"Also, let Fu Ji detect whether there are the same explosives on both sides of the pass and canyon to prevent humans from destroying the pass."

"I understand." Miweko nodded seriously, and then immediately went to order troops and arrange tasks.

The orc army has stayed here for too long, which will seriously affect the subsequent war.

Once they are blocked here, the orcs will have to take a detour, which will bring them closer to the 100-kilometer marching route. This is unacceptable to them who need to race against time.

At this moment, we can only continue to attack through the pass and let the troops pass here quickly.

Above the pass and valley, Hogtz watched the battle all night. At this moment, his eyes were shocked by the fighting power of the Qingyuan Army.

When I arrived in Qingyuan Town, the war was almost at its end. I didn't know much about the combat power of Qingyuan soldiers, but I only paid attention to the weapons they used.

But now it seems that not only the weapons of the Qingyuan Army are powerful, but the quality and combat effectiveness of their soldiers are also still outstanding.

It was like fighting dozens of times more enemies with the same number of people. Hogtz couldn't think of any other army besides the three elite armies of the three empires that could do it.

And among the three elite legions, the only one that can do it perfectly is his Griffin legion, but that is the combat power created by using level suppression and massive resources.

The cost of training a sky knight is a huge number. Even the rich and powerful Orrea Empire can only raise an army of a thousand people at most.

The cost of training a sky knight is hundreds of thousands of gold coins, and a group of thousands is an astronomical figure.

However, compared to the Griffin Legion, the cost of dragon cavalry in the Redro Empire is even more terrifying. A dragon knight costs 100 million gold coins to start. Even the Redro Empire, which is developing business, has only hired and trained twelve extraordinary dragons. knight.

Of course, extraordinary dragon knights will be much cheaper, and the training cost is only tens of millions of gold coins, which is equivalent to an army that can be used in conventional warfare. The Redro Empire directly formed a dragon knight army of more than fifty people.

If it weren't for the fact that there weren't more suitable young dragons in the Dragon Valley, the Redro Empire might have been able to form a hundred-man dragon cavalry army.

But having said that, the strongest soldiers of the Qingyuan Army are only high-ranking ones, and most of them are ordinary people.

An ordinary person's combat power could withstand such a fierce attack by the orc army. At this moment, Hogtz felt a little moved.

If he hadn't been restricted from taking action, he might have already stepped in to help, wanting to keep this army and cultivate it.

Even if all soldiers with this kind of combat power cannot reach high-level levels, with a little training and cooperation, their explosive strength will only be stronger.

But it's a pity...

Hogtz sighed softly in his heart.

The intensity of the orcs' attack became even more fierce. After all, the Qingyuan Army's strength was limited. By noon, all the second line of defense retreated, with the loss of more than 80 people.

Looking at the retreating Qingyuan Army, Hogtz praised them in his heart. Their battle was over, and now it was time for the regular Imperial Army to appear.

A hundred miles away, the Griffin Legion was flying towards the pass battlefield at full speed...

Chapter 178 The goal is achieved and we go to the front line

The soldiers who retreated to the third line of defense are preparing for the next round of battle.

As the last line of defense, the Qingyuan Army was not deployed at the exit of the pass, but moved about a hundred meters outward to build a semicircular defense line.

Compared with the narrow pass valley, this line of defense can accommodate more soldiers. Two battalions of the troops have been fully deployed here and are ready for battle.

The remaining camp has already moved ahead to the next defensive location to prepare for the attack.

The soldiers who are evacuated and deployed to the next location are all soldiers who have just been rotated from the battlefield. They have enough time to rest on the way there.

At the same time, because the third line of defense is located further back, artillery that cannot be supported in the canyon can resume attacks.

In order to prevent sneak attacks, the artillery camps of the three companies were moved back eight kilometers, just within the optimal range of the 75th field artillery.

Although this will delay the arrival of artillery support, the positions of the three artillery batteries are very safe and can prevent sneak attacks by the orcs.

The advantage of the number of orcs allows them to fight one batch at a time to consume the physical strength of the Qingyuan Army soldiers.
