THE FIGHT TO BE KING
CHAPTER 126: THE BATTLE OF ROREC CITY
The new Goblin and orc troops preparing to attack Rorec City today were shocked because the ever-closed iron city gate was already open today.
Although there were many enemy troops standing behind the iron gate while carrying their shields and weapons, but the Orcs and Goblins could not understand what the enemy troops were planning in the slightest.
If they continue to close the city gates, then there is no chance for the Orc-Goblin Kingdom to capture Rorec City, this shows how much help the city gates to the victory of Aclan for several days.
But now that the city gates had finally opened, although there were enemy troops waiting behind them, the Orcs were convinced that with their strength the formations made by the enemy forces could be destroyed easily.
The face of the leader of the Orc army now became very gloomy, no matter how it looked from anywhere, this open city gate was a trap.
The problem was, the Orc leader had absolutely no idea where this trap was, what the enemy army leader was planning.
In the midst of thinking about what traps the enemy was making, an Orc warrior shouted "Captain, this is the time to attack! The city gate is already open, without the help of the city wall, the enemy army will only die under the power of our Orcs!".
The leader of the Orc army tried to resist the plan because he did not know the enemy's plan, as the leader who has been fighting for decades, he would not be so stupid as to attack without a plan.
But when he saw the Orcs beside him, the leader smiled bitterly.
The Orcs around him already had red eyes that looked a little crazy.
They had not eaten such a large amount of meat for a long time that they were so hungry, besides they had already been angry for these few days.
They attacked Rorec City for days but still failed, even many of their comrades were killed on the battlefield. Now that there was an opportunity in plain sight, how could they possibly miss that opportunity?
The leader of the Orc army knew that he could not hold back his troops now because the Orcs easily went crazy. As long as he gave the task to keep them quiet, these Orc troops might be laughing at him.
Not only that, the enemy forces that opened this gate may be a trap, if it is so then why?
They were Orc troops that were famous for their strength, as Orcs hence captains also had the confidence of defeating enemies.
No matter what plans the enemy made, with the strength of their Orcs, those plans would only be destroyed.
Under all these thoughts, the leader of the Orc army shouted "Even more are you waiting for? All the attacking forces! Behind that gate, food is waiting! Kill all the enemy forces that killed many of our comrades during these few days!".
"Kill!", cried the Orcs who ran like mad towards the open city gate.
Seeing the Orc warriors moving closer, the new soldiers were frightened by the pressure of these 1800 lunatics.
But Aclan had let the knight troops in the front position from the beginning, he was afraid that if the new troops in the front position, he was afraid, they would die with just 1 enemy blow that could destroy their formation.
As the Orcs drew closer, Aclan shouted "The knights, form a formation!".
The knights in the front row began to raise their shields and connect those shields to the shields of comrades on their left and right sides. A formation of interconnected shields formed behind the already open city gates, the Orc army would not be able to head for the city without destroying this formation.
The knights did not wear normal shields, but this time they wore a shield made mostly of iron.
Iron shields are generally too heavy which makes not many soldiers use this shield, besides the shield is too heavy will slow down the movement of troops.
Because of this, they did not need to move quickly against the enemy, they only needed to stand still like a fortress that made this iron shield very suitable. The iron shield was extremely heavy and had a strong defense, suitable to withstand the might of these Orcs.
Fortunately Aclan had already told Torn the matter of this iron shield 2 years ago, although it cost a lot to make it for 1000 knight troops, Myro still agreed to Aclan's suggestion.
As the fortress-like shield formation was completed and the Orc army drew closer, Aclan shouted "All troops, fire!".
Aclan allowed the new troops and guards of Rorec City to remain on top of the city walls, they lifted the bow and hot oil they had prepared and then threw it towards the approaching Orcs.
The battle began, regardless of the hot oil or arrows that had dropped their comrades, the Orcs rushed towards the shield formation and crashed their bodies without hesitation.
"Shelf!".
Facing the collision, the knight troops holding the shield did not move in the slightest, they looked like a huge wall that would not be pushed away easily.
After the collision of the Orcs, the shield formation formed a small gap where the knights behind them pierced the Orcs through the small gap.
"Stabs!".
The Orc army was instantly pierced by the sword that was in that small gap, as the other Orcs were enraged and attempted to attack through that gap as well, the knight shield formation again closed the gap which did not give the Orcs the slightest chance.
The movements of the knights were very orderly and they had such excellent cooperation that the Orcs could not find any weakness, this showed that the knights as the elite heavy infantry were not at all wrong.
Even compared to the Praetorian Guard that formed the Phalanx Formation earlier, the formations of these knights were much stronger due to their good cooperation. After all the Praetorian Guard should be bodyguards whereas these knights were indeed heavy infantry who were extremely skilled on the battlefield.
As the war continued, the bodies of the Orcs continued to grow around the front of the already open gate.
With less than 30 minutes, there were already hundreds of Orc corpses falling down.
Although the knight army was extremely powerful, under the relentless attacks of the Orcs, they also started to feel exhausted.
As the knight formation became weaker and weaker and the Orcs thought for a moment, their chance was coming, a shout sounded from all over the battlefield.
"All the troops, attack!".
On the right side of the Orc-Goblin Kingdom army, about 1000 cavalry troops appeared who instantly fired their arrows.
Many unprepared goblins immediately fell due to the arrow shot, besides some Orcs were also shot to death by the newly arrived cavalry arrow.
As the Orcs and goblins attempted to attack the cavalry, the cavalry moved away quickly, leaving the enemy unable to pursue them.
But as the Orcs and Goblins began to surrender, the cavalry approached again while shooting their arrows.
These newly arrived enemy cavalry were extremely nimble, except for the Wolf Cavalry, no one could catch them.
The problem is, the Wolf Cavalry is no longer here which makes the Orc-Goblin Kingdom troops a little helpless to face the arrows of the cavalry troops who just came.
