Chapter 245
245. Archduke Patton, whose heart is bleeding (3)
The spears thrown by the Orc Army were specially made by Joshua at Norton Smithy.
It is thicker and longer than the standard spears of the city guards, and it is regarded as an enhanced version.
The biggest advantage of throwing guns over bows and arrows is that they have a longer range and greater lethality.
And this enhanced version of the spear is thrown in the hands of the big-waisted orc warriors, and the range and lethality are several times stronger than those thrown by the city guard warriors of the same level!
Countless shotguns fell like raindrops, but after this black rain fell, every drop would take the life of one or more people.
“Boom-”
“boom–”
There was a muffled sound.
Patton’s front troops, without even uttering a word, were instantly reduced by a large amount.
Too fast.
From the time when the orc warriors raised their hands to when their spears dropped, it took only a few breaths.
When those front row soldiers heard the high-pitched cracking sound coming from the air…they were already dead.
The enhanced version of the orc spear, heavy and sharp, the ordinary soldiers under Patton, not to mention the armor on their bodies, even the shields on their hands are as thin as crisp paper under the attack of such spears.
In the front row of the team, 28 Patton was the most proud cavalry unit.
In this round of spear rain, nearly a thousand cavalrymen under Patton died instantly.
It also includes dozens of horned deer knights.
“damn it!
Barton’s eyes turned red all of a sudden, and the veins on his neck almost burst open.
“Damn it damn it…”
Patton was anxious, angry and angry in his heart, and there was a throbbing pain that almost spit out a mouthful of blood.
Who knows how much he put in these cavalry?!
The more than 50 horned deer knights alone cost more than 30,000 gold coins each year, and there are nearly 1,000 ordinary cavalry.
Ordinary people may think that how much money can be spent to train a cavalryman is at best the money to buy an extra warhorse.
No no no, you are thinking too simple.
Just talking about a war horse, it takes three to five gold coins to equip it from a set of mounts such as saddle, horse, face, armor, etc.
Then there are the stables who take care of the horses on a daily basis, the servants who maintain the weapons and equipment, and the fodder that the horses eat every day.
War horses are not bad horses that pull carts. Just grazing grass doesn’t have the strength to go to the battlefield with heavy equipment and strong knights on their backs.
The best war horses eat the best forage.
After a few meals, I also have eggs mixed with soybeans, which is better than most common people.
It is nothing new in this world for a stablekeeper to be executed for stealing war horse fodder.
This is still an ordinary warhorse, and the horned deer, which is a second-level demon beast, costs more, more than ten times as much as an ordinary warhorse.
Eating it alone is enough to devour the average little aristocrat.
How much effort and expense Patton put into this cavalry, only he knows.
And now all this has turned into a pile of rotten meat in front of him.
Mixed with the chaotic soil, it is impossible to distinguish.
Patton’s heart was sore that he was dripping blood, and at this time, the second round of projection of the orc army had arrived.
“defense!”
Barton shouted heartily, with red eyes, and then roared: “Attack! Attack me! I’m going to kill these bastards alive!”
After speaking, he took the lead, waving the long sword in his hand and charging forward.
“Your Majesty!
The men around Barton were shocked when they saw this, but they had no choice but to bite the bullet and keep up.
“Whoosh whoosh…”
The black rain of guns reappeared, and the infiltrating sound of breaking through the air made people feel numb even if they looked at it from a distance.
Because of Patton’s tough orders, coupled with his being a grand duke and taking the lead, the soldiers under Patton could only forcefully keep up, even if they were trembling in their hearts.
This time, the shield soldiers were in front, connecting the shields in their hands to form a huge tortoise-shell-like formation that moved forward slowly.
Although such a tortoise shell formation is still vulnerable in the face of spears, it is better than the previous state of no resistance.
With the smooth slope of the shield, some of the spears could sometimes be deflected, and the casualties of the soldiers were greatly reduced.
“drink–”
As an eighth-level knight, with his powerful force, he held a shield in one hand and a sword in the other. Although he was embarrassed to resist in the rain of spears, he was not injured.
“boom–”
A shotgun flew past Barton’s helmet, landed on the ground, and plunged deep into the solid soil, causing Barton’s eyelids to jump.
Damn it!
He now finally understands why the lethality of this shot is so great.
This kind of spear is solid and finely forged, and its cost is definitely higher than that of a fine steel long sword.
Now it is thrown as a consumable item, and it is completely smashing people with gold coins, and ordinary soldiers who are almost weak can’t throw such an effect, so the orcs who are born with divine power can easily do it. The lethality of terror is also normal.
“The third prince has really invested in this orc army!”
Barton was ruthless in his heart, and the more he was like this, the more murderous and anger he felt in his heart.
He secretly vowed to annihilate all these orcs, and let the third prince have a good taste of the destruction of his efforts!
Thinking of his own cavalry regiment and the Knights of the Horned Deer, Patton had another burst of angina.
The huge tortoise shell moved forward slowly and firmly, and the casualties continued to increase at 523.
The orc army made a total of three projections, and Patton’s casualties exceeded 5,000 soldiers.
That’s a quarter of the total force!
This was the result of the formation of a tortoise-shell formation after the second round of projections and the formation of the formation.
Horrible casualty rate.
If it wasn’t for Patton’s order to be tough and take the lead, and replace the general army, it would have begun to disperse and flee at this moment.
Of course, the morale of Patton’s army is still extremely low, and it is on the verge of collapse at any time.
At this moment, in the city of Gotham, the city lord Rose and his subordinates stared blankly at the extremely tragic battlefield in front of them.
“This this…”
“Why is that?!””
The corners of Rose’s mouth twitched, and the cold sweat on his forehead and back frantically broke out.
In his opinion, it should have been a one-sided battle, but the result showed another diametrically opposite result.
The two sides have not yet started a formal confrontation, and the troops under the command of the Grand Duke Patton have suffered such serious casualties. When the battle is over, the Grand Duke Patton has nowhere to vent his anger, isn’t it going to rip him off?!
“Guru․.’
Rose subconsciously swallowed hard, then stammered and said to his opponent, “Quick… Quickly help me prepare a carriage, the one that can leave the city at any time…”.
