Chapter 589 The strong orc who can change formations

"Fire arrows!"

Then at this time, when the Orcs were hesitant and did not know the situation of their cavalry, Chang Wei asked the Rohan cavalry to shoot at the Orcs advancing on both wings!

Caught off guard, although some of these strong orcs had their shields erected and armor covering most of their bodies, they were still knocked down by a wave of arrows. More than a dozen orcs were knocked down.

These strong orcs stopped without saying a word and did not dare to get closer. At the same time, the strong orcs on the other side started running, but they were all wearing heavy armor and could not run fast for a while.

Who knew that after the Rohan cavalry saw this scene, they started running back, but they still fired their bows and cavalry to shoot at the chasing orc soldiers.

The accuracy of this wave of mounted shooting has been greatly reduced. After all, it is not something ordinary people can do that can maintain accuracy in mounted shooting. Dayuan was able to do it because they had so many people.

Rely entirely on large-scale mounted shooting.

But Chang Wei doesn't need much accuracy, he only needs casualties.

No army can be wiped out and still fight to the death. Except for that miraculous army, most of the armies that have been wiped out and fight to the death are only a handful of armies in the entire dynasty.

And many of them are caused by the inability to retreat.

As for the strong orcs, they are just a little more courageous than the orcs. They will bully the weak and fear the strong. Once the casualty rate rises, they will just run away. That will be the time when guerrilla tactics are the most mindless.

The orc captain was angry. More than 100 Rohan cavalry, who were even worse than scouts without armor or lances, dared to stop them?

There are more than 1000 strong orcs. Just stepping on them can kill these reckless cavalry!

"Rush up and kill them!!!"

So he directly issued a death order, not allowing the strong orcs to continue to be afraid, and it was just arrows. They all had armor, and some had shields. In this case, they were still afraid of just a few arrows?
The two wings of the strong orcs had no choice. After the war supervisor behind him drew his sword and chopped off the heads of several strong orcs, they could only move forward against the rain of arrows.

The Rohan cavalry were also very panicked at this time. After all, they had no armor and would be dead if caught up.

But Chang Wei was very calm and let them continue to suppress the opponent with longbow shooting.

The orc infantry braved the rain of arrows and felled another twenty or thirty orcs. They finally got close. When the orc archers were about to shoot arrows, the Rohan cavalry suddenly ran away.

Their speed was very fast, and the distance created by the orcs' lives was quickly extended to more than [-] steps. The large yew bows could not shoot such a distance. This was tested by the Rohan cavalry.

Then they used longbows to shoot, and the strong orcs were beaten so that they did not dare to show their heads.

But standing still and being beaten would be even more disadvantageous. The Rohan cavalry had no concept of wasting arrows, and after so many mounted shots, their accuracy began to increase. Even with such long-distance throws, they could roughly Arrow placement becomes a little more accurate.

Therefore, the strong orcs could only move forward against the rain of arrows.

"separate!"

Chang Wei gave an order, and the Rohan cavalry immediately separated into two groups. They used what Chang Wei said to suppress the attack with continuous shooting.That is to say, working in two shifts, launching a continuous rain of arrow attacks. It seems that the number of bows and arrows in each attack has been reduced, but under the continuous attack, the casualties of the strong orcs increased directly!
The troops on both wings tried to get closer, but were suppressed by two waves of cavalry. They were not greedy for success. Once the Orcs got within [-] steps, they would distance themselves. At their speed, the Orc heavy infantry could not keep up. superior!
The general became more and more successful in fighting, and the cavalry gradually changed from being uneasy to being at peace now, becoming more and more skilled in what to do.

They didn't react until they drew the bowstring again but couldn't see the enemy.

The troops on both wings were completely wiped out by them, and the remaining strong orc captain also decisively led the army's tactical transfer.

"Clean the battlefield, then catch up, and everyone should switch to short bows!"

Chang Wei looked at the arrows all over the ground and didn't know how many could be recovered, but he didn't suffer a loss. Being able to use so many arrows to inflict hundreds of casualties on the orc heavy infantry, everyone was probably eager to do it more than ten times more. of arrow consumption.

The generals and cavalry all knew the importance of arrows, but most of the arrows hit the armor, and the arrows and arrow bodies were severely deformed, making it impossible to continue using them.

They shot so many arrows and their inventory was running low. Only three horses per person could carry so many arrows. Now even if half of them were consumed, there was still one-third of the quantity.

The Orcs' arrows were replenished. At this time, the Rohan cavalry were very excited. They held short bows and caught up with the Orc army whose tactics had changed.

After they saw the Rohan cavalry chasing after them, they were all so angry that the orc captain had to let the archers try to attack.

The Rohan cavalry originally planned to catch up directly after changing to short bows, but Chang Wei remained vigilant and did not let them stay close for too long. Therefore, after the first wave of arrows from the strong orcs, the Rohan cavalry was only twenty steps behind. , and then there will be heavy casualties.

The short bow of Rohan is not as good as the orcs' large yew bow in terms of range, but neither the long bow nor the large bow is conducive to accuracy and flexibility within three hundred steps. This is something that only a short bow can do. .

"Change to longbows, suppress the opponent's archers, don't be stingy with arrows, and annihilate them all!"

Chang Wei ordered immediately.

The Rohan cavalry skillfully replaced their longbows. They had already replaced their longbows twice. After all, a longbow cannot be replaced until it is worn out. After using it once, the longbow must be maintained and its elasticity restored. Otherwise, it will not be replaced frequently. Wei would not require each of them to bring three longbows.

The distance between the two sides was already very close, and the longbow exerted its greatest advantage at this moment. The strong orc archers were hit by a covering blow. They wanted to fight back, but the arrows they fired could only miss or change the opponent's arrows. traces of.

The orc captain gritted his teeth and asked the orc infantry with shields to form a square formation to cover the archers' advance!
"How did that guy Saruman achieve this kind of tactical proficiency?"

Chang Wei was surprised to see the strong orc man transform into a shield formation so quickly.

It was okay to know how to arrange troops before. After all, it was just a simple spear phalanx, but now it is really surprising.

Obviously the opponent realized that if they didn't deal with them, they would bite them to death, so they had a shield array to cover the archers and infantry approaching.

"Stop shooting and retreat!"

Chang Wei raised his hand and ordered.
