Section 24: Killing Generals

The 24th chapter kills the general

"Charge, charge, trample them to death!" Eric shouted loudly. He was 100% sure to defeat the Greenskin troops. But he knew that defeating this troops was still far from his goal - to lure the Greenskin boss to fight.

Some green skin bosses have an incredible command method, that is, they bring a group of the most genius brothers, send out a wave of Waaaaagh roars, and rush towards the enemy without any brains. But more green skin bosses are not that stupid. They all hide behind the team, observe the battlefield like human generals, and issue orders. However, as long as the battle situation is unfavorable to green skin, these bosses will still shout and rush up with their younger brothers.

The so-called blood flag boss is obviously the latter.

Standing behind the human position, which is the highest point on the hillside, a team of officers are observing the battlefield.

From a distance, the torrent of the Knights swarmed by now, chasing the green-skinned boy running south like a tide. This elite team of only three or three thousand people was like a wedge into a green barrier. It seemed very weak, but it could not stop cutting into the green-skinned army.

"General Eric is really strong." Someone sighed. But more people remained silent. The green-skinned army is so large and the lineup is so thick that there is still a long distance between defeating a few teams of one or two thousand soldiers and winning the final victory. Moreover, the resistance of this team of orcs is far stronger than people expected, and has caused some losses to the knights. Especially the war horses, although the knights won at this moment, they are also slightly blunt in the war.

The blocking war on both sides continued. The knights, with the disadvantaged number, firmly defended the green-skinned pounce, and bought valuable time for their central troops. After defeating the enemy in front of them, the knights began to form teams again.

Eric spent a little time observing the situation on the battlefield. His original enemy had completely disintegrated and was running around uncontrollably. On his wings and other Greenskin troops were blocked by two squads. If he withdrew at this time, it can be said that this attack could be considered a complete victory. With his own slight casualties, he defeated the two Greenskin troops and wiped out more than half of the enemy. With such a record, I believe no one can say anything about gossip.

But Eric did not come to attack the Greenskin Army this time, but wanted to do a more important and dangerous job.

At this time, the green-skinned army also responded. Without the boss's orders, the nearby green-skinned people who had long been eager to do a big fight rushed towards the enemy. The collapsed orc troops did not cause the other troops to shake. In front of the knights, another group of green-skinned people provocatively shouted and rushed towards this side. And further afield, Eric noticed that the rolling smoke was circling towards this side, which was a trace of cavalry or chariot advancement.

The veteran looked around him. As long as he could defeat these two troops, he would be almost done. But he knew very well that it was extremely difficult to defeat these two green-skinned troops with such a lonely army. Even if he won, it would be a very difficult battle. This is the pressure of the general on the battlefield. In an instant, countless consciousnesses flowed through Eric's mind, making his heart churned like oil. Even the war horse under his crotch felt the tense atmosphere and couldn't help but exhale.

Eric looked back at his front with anxious eyes. All the other troops remained motionless, and only the cannons were providing firepower support for him. He gritted his teeth.

"Knights, keep moving forward!"

In the smoke and dust in the distance, green-skinned cavalry had already appeared. They were a large group of orcs riding wild boars and waving weapons. Each orc's eyes were filled with fighting crazes, and they rushed towards the human knights.

If this continues, when the knights attack the green-skinned infantry, the wild boar cavalry will slam the knights from the back.

The blood flag boss is really puzzled now. He saw the cavalry rushing in and defeated a team of goblin wolf cavalry first, and then defeated a team of machete boys. If the knights retreat at this time, then he can only say that this is a very cunning strategy. This victory is not great, but it can effectively encourage one's morale and attack the combat enthusiasm of the Greenskin troops.

But the problem is that these knights have no intention of taking advantage of it at all, and they are continuing to move forward. After discovering the wild boar cavalry pounced on the side, the knights turned around and met the wild boar cavalry from the front.

If we change the scene, for example, the other party is a green-skinned tribe rather than a human, perhaps the Blood Flag boss would directly think that this was their fighting fanaticism that drowns out the reason. But he knew that the human army was known to emphasize discipline among many races, and some countries did not recruit particularly brave soldiers to join the army, just to enable the entire army to maintain discipline. This inconspicuous practice - the main force was watching with a stand-alone attitude, and letting a knight regiment fall into the enemy army alone - it was not normal no matter how you look at it.

The far-distance Greenskin troops had not yet noticed this strange situation. Although they knew that the two sides were fighting, they thought that what was going on now was just a outpost battle before the main force fully fought. Except for some Greenskin troops nearby that broke out at this moment, the other Greenskins were waiting for the order to attack. The orcs raised their barbaric machetes high and shouted and challenged their opponents.

Almost no Greenskin realized that humans seemed to only plan to let one cavalry come out to fight and let other troops be regarded as turtles. Of course, even if they saw the intention of human beings, the Blood Flag Boss could not understand the logic behind it at all.

At this time, the wild boar boys had already collided with the knights head-on.

This is a battle between cavalry and cavalry. After the two sides collided on the front line, the subsequent battle became close-fitting hand-to-hand combat, and the troops were closely stuck together. As we all know, the battle between cavalry and infantry must rely on speed, while the battle between cavalry and cavalry is not the most critical factor. Therefore, in the battle between cavalry, the first wave of charge required to accumulate initial speed, and after the hand-to-hand combat, it relies entirely on formation, training and armor protection bonus.

The actual situation on the battlefield at this moment is exactly in line with the statement in the military book. Eric was in the center, with two hundred elite soldiers in front, and the commanders of the four teams led the troops to defend the left and right, rushing straight towards the front enemy formation. Both sides had entered a hand-to-hand combat, so the knights tried their best to control the speed of the horse. Otherwise, once the formation was dispersed, the melee would not only be inefficient, but would be seen by the enemy. Eric led the troops to slowly approach the center of the Green Skin Cavalry at a very low speed. The human knight was not like a sharp knife, but slowly trapped between the wild boar boys like an iron hammer.

The wild boars were now in the battle frenzy, and their mounts were all red, and they all arched and bumped. With the help of wild boars, although the wild boars were not as good as the knights in armor, they actually did not suffer much in the competition. Their real disadvantage was that they lacked discipline and could not maintain a complete and strict formation. Therefore, in the competition with the knights, although the number on the surface was roughly the same, when they were really fighting, several knights often besieged a wild boar.

As long as there is plenty of time, Eric can be sure that he can defeat this team of Orc Wild Boar Cavalry.

But the key is that the Boar Boys are not the only opponents of the Knights. The Knights team responsible for flanking cover have gradually been unable to support the orcs' fierce attack, and the front line is gradually shaking. Their number is too small to resist the progress of the Greenskin reinforcements, which have an overwhelming advantage in number. What's worse is that there is another team of Greenskin infantry ahead of Eric, which is the previous target of the Knights, who must be approaching the Knights who are in a tough battle at this time.

Eric knew very well that if he could not defeat the Wild Boar Boy before this team of Greenskin rushed over, then his combat plan would be completely ruined for this attack. Even he could not pull his feet out of this quagmire, and it would be difficult to retreat safely. The Greenskins would surround them with their superior forces, and in the repeated entanglement and tug-of-war, they would completely overwhelm the Knights with their numerical advantage.

Eric rushed forward, but his subordinates pressed his general behind him. Eric, who was full of anger, kept rushing forward, and was squeezed back without hesitation by the knights who were gritting their teeth and tense.

He held up the battle flag, shouted loudly, and challenged the captain of the Wild Boy. As long as he could kill Captain Greenskin, he had the hope of defeating the Wild Boy before the machetes came up.

Although humans and Greenskin do not understand language, in some cases on the battlefield, the intentions of the two sides of the battle were fully communicated. Eric's loud shout was responded. Through the gaps in his subordinates' queue, Eric saw a particularly strong orc riding a huge wild boar, rushing towards him, holding a huge double-edged battle axe in his hand.

Captain Orcs rushed to Eric's wing, where three knights blocked him. But the captain's strength was far beyond the level of an ordinary wild boar boy, and the three knights were chopped and chopped by him in a blink of an eye.

More knights and more wild boars gathered towards this position, and people fell on both sides, and Eric's mount was at least two layers of enemy or his own corpses under his mount.

The Greenskin Captain finally broke through the obstacles of the knights and rushed to Eric regardless of everything. The last knight used his sword to withstand Captain Greenskin's slammed into two halves. The Greenskin's axe directly slashed his helmet and head in half.

“Waaaa…gh…”

Captain Greenskin rushed over and raised his axe and slashed it hard.

Eric twisted his waist and dodged. The blood-stained battle axe blade slid in front of his breastplate, and with a harsh friction sound, it left a white mark on his metal armor. Eric waved his warhammer and wanted to hit the hand that was wielding the axe, but it finally fell on the handle of the axe. If it were humans, this violent attack might directly make the opponent's weapon go away, but the captain Greenskin relied on amazing strength to hold on. However, this attack also made Captain Greenskin lose balance and could not launch the next attack for a while.

He said this quickly. Taking advantage of the opportunity when Captain Greenskin had no time to recover, Eric launched the next attack. This time the warhammer hit the wild boar in the head. Although he did not kill him, the wild boar made him dizzy, foam at the mouth, and was silly turning around.

Eric approached the other party for the third time. This time he took a deep breath. Taking advantage of the opponent's unpreparedness, he spat hard and spitted at the Greenskin's face. Captain Greenskin wanted to use his weapon to withstand this attack because his mount lost control, but he did not expect such a surprise attack. He looked up and saw Bai Mengmeng rushing towards his face, instinctively lifting the axe to cover it. Eric used his legs and feet to force his butt, leaving the saddle, and used all his strength to make the final blow in the gap.

The warhammer hit the green-skinned helmet. Although it was not knocked straight, most of the power was slipped away by the helmet, but the remaining power was still enough to knock the green-skinned captain off the wild boar, and he fell apart, and the battle axe also flew away.

Before the captain of Greenskin struggled to get up, the horse's hooves like hammers had already stepped on. Then a large group of wild boars and war horses trampled back and forth in a chaotic manner. In a blink of an eye, the greenskin disappeared into the chaotic front of the two armies.

This short battle consumed too much energy for Eric. He fell back into the saddle and gasped, and realized that he was indeed old. However, although his face turned a little white, his eyes were as sharp as a sharp blade, and he had insight into the situation. The machete boys had not yet been entangled. He still had time to dispel all the wild boar boys.
