Heroes of Silver Moon Chapter 683

The fighting is still going on.

In this narrow area, the two large armies are continuously consuming the lives of soldiers.

With the arrival of heavy machine guns and mortars, the orc infantry paid a very heavy price before forcibly breaking through to the front of the first army. In order to avoid accidentally injuring their comrades in arms, the soldiers of the first army could only choose to see their red bayonets.

The soldiers on both sides were tangled together, and the newly formed legionnaires who were weak in melee combat were inevitably at a disadvantage.

While the first army withstood the pressure, the second and third armies also crossed the river in batches, completely breaking the orc's attempt to attack halfway across. Seeing the low morale ahead, the orc commander Hagrid could only let the soldiers retreat first.

Forcibly breaking through the human firepower network has already suffered heavy losses. Now that the human army has crossed the Ye Lin River, it is impossible to resolve the battle in a short time.

In case of being strangled ahead, they will be the first to collapse.

Hagrid looked at the dusky sky expressionlessly, and ordered his subordinates: "Let the soldiers eat and drink well tonight. It will definitely be a tough battle tomorrow. Also, start to draw up the defense line. The human army should be here."

If you want your horse to run, how can you not give it grass to eat? For the orcs who suffered heavy casualties, nothing can boost morale more than wine and meat.

Soon, piles of bonfires lit up in the orc camp.

The rough orc soldiers set up barbecues, and carts of beer were transported to the center of the camp. A considerable number of female slaves were dragged out to let others vent, and the all-night carnival began.

After all, on the battlefield, no one can guarantee that they will survive tomorrow. If that is the case, then of course they have to enjoy themselves while they are still alive.

…

Except for the artillery unit and the cavalry division, all the forces of the newly formed army were concentrated in this riverbank position, and the command system also moved forward.

In the headquarters, Harris once again summoned senior officers: "Casualties."

"The casualties of the second army and the third army are relatively small, and none of them exceed a thousand. For the first army..." The second army commander Garken glanced at the first army commander Graton.

Graton replied blankly: "Nearly half of the casualties of the first army."

Harris felt a little heavy in his heart. According to the weaving of the new army, there were more than 50,000 people in the first army, which was the main battle army of the new army. Nearly half of them suffered casualties, which was equivalent to the loss of nearly 20,000 people.

Considering the impact on morale and combat power, the next battle, the first army can be regarded as abolished.

The atmosphere in the headquarters was a bit dull, and Harris thought for a moment: "In this way, the next battle will be handed over to the second and third armies, and the first army will retreat to the rear to rest."

Graton nodded expressionlessly. He is not an idiot who would risk the lives of his subordinates to be a hero. The first army really needs to rest.

Seeing that no one else had any objections, Harris looked at Bullard again: "Can you contact Siegel?"

Boulder shrugged: "No, now we can only see our tacit understanding."

In order to prevent the orcs from crossing the river in other places, the cavalry division was broken up and divided into several small units to patrol along the south river bank. It would take some time for Siegel to gather them together.

The battlefield is changing rapidly, so in the previous legion chief meeting, Harris and others did not frame the tactical layout of the cavalry division, but let Siegel play freely.

Coupled with the inconvenience of communication and other factors, the two sides have completely cut off contact.

Next, when and where the cavalry division will appear on the stage can only be seen by Siegel.

"Let the soldiers have a good rest tonight, but the sentries cannot relax their vigilance." Harris waved his hand wearily, and after the high-ranking officers dispersed, he looked up worriedly at the sky.

I don't know how long Simon can last. They still have to end the battle as soon as possible.

…

In the trench that had just been dug, Bram was lying on his body weakly. He felt that he had exhausted all his strength in today's battle, and now he just wanted to lie quietly like this.

But unfortunately, some soldiers came to him soon: "Squad Leader Bram, the company commander is looking for you."

Although he really didn't want to talk to him, but it was a military order after all, Bram nodded weakly, then got up from the ground with difficulty, and followed the soldiers to see Mikkel.

At a trench node, he saw the company commander Mikil and the third platoon leader Moro, so he raised his sore and almost numb arms to salute: "Good day, company commander, and platoon leader."

"This is a battlefield, there's no need to be so disciplined, Platoon Leader Moro, report the damage to me." Mikil waved his hand wearily.

Although he and the third platoon were the second wave of troops to cross the river, after a whole day of fighting, they would inevitably be exhausted.

"Yes, company commander." Third platoon commander Mo Luo's eyes were also full of exhaustion: "We are a full company of 126 people, 79 people were killed in battle, mainly concentrated in the first row and second row across the river, 16 people were seriously injured, and the rest They were more or less slightly injured, except for Bram in the first row and the second row, all the squad leaders died in battle, and a squad leader in the third row died in battle."

After listening to the report, Mikkel and Bram fell silent at the same time. Two-thirds of the casualties were familiar faces who had been together for several years.

It took a long time for Mikil to let out a breath, and looked at Bram with complicated eyes: "According to the order of the superior, our first army retreated to the rear to rest, and I appointed you as the acting platoon leader to take charge of this matter together with Morrow."

Now he lacks officers, and as the backbone of the first batch of crossing the river, it is natural to give priority to promoting Bram.

Bram was so happy that he almost jumped up, but he suppressed his excitement: "I promise to complete the task!"

This kind of temporary promotion on the battlefield, UU Reading www.uukanshu.com will basically be recognized normally after the war, that is, after the battle is over, he will be an officer of the new army.

Of course, the premise is that he can survive...

At a height above 10,000 meters, Simon fell into an absolute disadvantage. If it weren't for the half-artifact shield that was forcibly integrated into his body, even with the powerful blessing of the law of moonlight and burning magic power, he would not be able to survive at all, but even so , his current condition is also precarious.

By the day tomorrow, after losing the blessing of the law of moonlight, the situation will deteriorate further. If you are lucky, you may be able to survive. If you are not lucky...

In the distance, the two legends of the Holy Empire are still watching. If they want them to join the battlefield, the condition is very simple, that is, let Simon bow his head for help.

But it was obvious that the Silver Moon King had an extraordinary arrogance.

Batu and the other two orc legends had cold eyes, and they kept attacking Simon's body protection law. The positions of the two sides doomed them to have no possibility of reconciliation.

It was another morning, and the orc army that had been partying all night looked fierce again, but they did not take the initiative to attack.

As the commander of the orcs, Hagrid is not a fool. Humans have powerful alchemy weapons. Since the plan to strike at the halfway point has failed, we will delay the next step.

When legendary powerhouses intervene in the mortal battlefield, no matter how powerful alchemy weapons are, they are just a pile of scrap iron.

"Damn it!" Seeing the orcs waiting in full force, Harris suddenly felt powerless. Not all enemies are fools, and not all tactical deployments can be realized.

Next, they still have to take the initiative to attack, but doing so will inevitably increase casualties again, especially in the absence of artillery support.
