If it is strong, it cannot be sustained, and if it is profitable, it cannot last long.
Carlos once wondered why one orc soldier could fight three human soldiers.
Physical difference?
Height difference?
The difference in martial arts?
In the end, Carlos felt that the decisive factor was the weapon.
It's not that the quality of orcs' weapons is better than that of humans, but that they are heavier than humans.
Many people don't understand that a sledgehammer that can move 20 kilograms and a weapon that can move 20 kilograms are completely different concepts.
In the Alliance, standard one-handed weapons generally only weigh about two kilograms, and standard two-handed war hammers generally weigh about ten kilograms.
Why? Because it’s heavy and can’t be lifted!
It is true that the heavier the weapon, the greater the lethality, but if the quality exceeds one's ability to bear, it has no actual combat value.
The overall height of orcs is a little taller than humans, their strength is a little greater than humans, and their ability to withstand blows is a little stronger than humans...
But when all the little bits are integrated together, the final result is that the orcs can wield weapons weighing more than ten kilograms for long periods of time, and can carry a twenty-kilogram ax to play Banzai Charge.
When an orc comes with an axe, the human soldiers must retreat to avoid the sharp blow. However, the orcs can use protective gear to resist the human soldiers' slashes, or even exchange injuries for injuries.
Once you understand where the problem is, all that's left is to solve it.
Carlos stood on the shoulders of giants and chose the three-by-three combat team grouping without hesitation.
Simple, crude, and effective.
A team of ten people. Excluding the squad leader, there were exactly nine people. Divide into three combat squads, each consisting of three people.
One of the three people holds a solid wooden full-body shield in both hands, one has a long sword and a hand shield, and the other has light armor and a spear.
When encountering an enemy, strike with heavy shield, respond sideways with sword and shield, and kill the enemy with spear.
A change from the previous strategy of relying on the quality of individual soldiers to fight the orcs for losses.
"Your Majesty, it works! The orcs can't cut through such a thick wooden shield. Some of the axes even got stuck on the big shield. We will definitely win!"
Ymir shouted excitedly from the side.
As the first battle after coming out of the mountain, the opponent was an orc fortress with about a thousand people. The orcs used this semi-permanent fortress to get stuck on the road junction in the Tarren Mill region, making it impossible for humans to resume daily production and farming in the Tarren Mill region.
Although Carlos always warned himself that soldiers are the most important weapons of the country, they should not be careless. But the huge economic pressure behind the war made Carlos breathless. Although they knew that storming the fortress would cause heavy casualties, it was obviously more tempting to restore agricultural production in Tarren Mill.
Therefore, there is no baiting the enemy and no siege. Without water shortages, night attacks and day and night exhaustion of the enemy, the three thousand forward troops faithfully carried out their king's orders - don't be timid, just do it!
However, the orcs did not live up to their title as a fighting race. They immediately divided their forces and went out to fight the humans. This made the Alterac generals who were watching the battle hidden deep in the woods overjoyed.
"These sick-minded orcs come out to die if they don't defend the fortress!"
"These humans who don't even have full armor are raising this wooden shield to die!"
Both sides felt that the other side was stupid, so the two groups of confident men and horses started fighting in the flat broad-leaved forest.
Although I practiced for more than two months. Team 33 looks impressive, but in actual combat, there are still many problems. There are huge problems with offensive and defensive coordination. The rhythm is often disrupted by the fierce force of the orcs, which wastes fighter opportunities.
But the vanguard army is a vanguard army after all. As the elite who followed Carlos all the way to the north and south, they have their own arrogance.
To put it bluntly, I'm not afraid of you orcs. I'm yelling at you. I haven't been split in half by you. Why don't I cut a gap in the wooden shield and roar like you have won the battle? You idiot!
They were courageous, energetic, and had a large number of key people. Although the actual combat effect of the Sansan team was not as ideal as Carlos expected, it was able to perfectly crack the orcs' most terrifying charge, the three-blade axe, and save the orcs' life with one axe. The curse.
Until the vanguard army surrounded the orcs who came out of the stronghold to fight, the human casualties were less than a hundred.
After completing the siege, the individual advantages of the orcs were simply vulnerable to the numerical advantage of humans. With spears like a forest and swords like waves, the ordinary soldiers of Alterac used a pile of wooden shields to win a brilliant victory.
"Six hundred and thirty-six orc corpses, and there are still about 400 people in the fortress. Your Majesty, is it a siege or a fire attack?"
The main force is still thirty kilometers away. Although Ymir really wants to show off in front of his king, the king's safety is more important than military exploits, so it is better to play it safe.
"Ha, you really want to drive me back to the Central Army?"
Carlos asked in a teasing tone.
"After all, you are the soul of this army, and your subordinates dare not take risks."
Ymir said respectfully.
"Don't get me wrong, I'm not talking about you, I'm talking about all of you here."
Carlos clenched his hands into fists and moved his finger joints. Even through the iron gloves, there was still a clicking sound.
"I am the one who can fight best."
Seeing Carlos take off the Iron Crown and put on the visor, Ymir felt his heart break.
"Your Majesty, you can't do this. I have made great contributions to the kingdom and I have shed blood for Your Majesty. The other generals will scold me to death!"
"Go away, mobilize the troops, it's still early, and we still have to advance ten kilometers to level this small village!"
Carlos raised his hand and made a fighting gesture, and all the paladins of the National Knights of the Royal Religion understood.
The leader of the King's Grand Regiment is trying to play the game of one horse against a thousand.
hey-hey.
I like.
Ignoring Ymir's resentful eyes, two hundred paladins lined up in the woods, ready to play unparalleled.
Carlos did not show any dissatisfaction with the dozens of people blocking his way. This is the attitude that a subordinate should have.
But after jogging and accelerating, all the guards and knights discovered that they had been deceived.
His Majesty King Nima can fly!
Spreading the wings of holy light and falling from the sky like a meteor falling to the ground, Carlos did not use his iconic arcane battle ax, but wore a pair of huge lion head gloves.
The thick wooden village gate only withstood three punches before being blown into pieces. The orc guards rushed around to eliminate the intruders and blocked the gate with obstacles again.
It's a pity that the power that the orcs are proud of is at a disadvantage in front of Carlos.
Carlos's routine of parrying, blocking and punching was extremely simple, but in front of these gloves enchanted with the power of landslide, the king of Alterac performed what is called One Punch Man.
Kill the enemy with just one punch.
"Use crossbows, throwing axes, and throwing blades!"
The orc commander finally reacted and issued a response order.
But it was too late.
Because Carlos was not alone. From behind him, galloping horses carrying the alliance's strongest melee units roared towards him.
In order to clean up Carlos, the orcs wasted too much time and did not even think of bypassing the guy blocking the door and setting up defenses on the outside first.
By the time the paladins were racing in the orcs' fortress, it was already too late.
"For the sake of the tribe, win or die!"
The orc commander's war cry not only inspired the orcs' fighting spirit, but also received a response from the paladins.
"lok tar ogar!"
Listening to the strange war cries of humans, many orcs were stunned for a moment, and then their heads were chopped off.
"You have no honor!"
The orc commander angrily pulled out his battle ax and wanted to rush forward and kill Carlos.
Shouting loudly and pushing away the blocking guards, Carlos stepped forward to meet him.
Ah da da da da da da, after a flurry of punches, Carlos left some pretentious words.
"You are already dead." (To be continued. (.com))
