We're Already In Close Combat And You Still Say You're A Mage?

On the desolate plain, the radiance of the stars and the bright moon shines on the earth, covering the ground with a vague silver gauze.

A cavalry unit marched quickly under the night, heading towards the frontline battlefield.

Among the team, Xu Bai's face turned pale, and he clenched his teeth and followed Zhang Yi closely. His body swayed up and down as the horse ran, trying to make his butt as comfortable as possible.

He had ridden horses on the northwest prairie.

But that is different from marching with war horses.

Xu Bai could only let his body adapt as much as possible.

"Brother Xu rarely rides horses, right?" Zhang Yi saw Xu Bai's embarrassment and asked with concern.

After hearing Zhang Yi's words, Xu Bai's face was startled, and he couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Indeed, I just rode a few times to show off, but I didn't expect this beast to be so uncomfortable to ride."

Xu Bai's words caused all the cavalry around him to laugh.

They had heard about Xu Bai's record of defeating two men, but they didn't expect that this fierce man would also suffer defeat.

"Please bear with it a little longer, we will soon arrive at the frontline camp." Zhang Yi said comfortingly.

There is nothing anyone can do about riding a horse. It requires long-term training to become familiar with it.

...

About an hour later, the outline of the frontline camp appeared in Xu Bai's field of vision.

The camp is very large, and not far away you can see the barracks illuminated by torches connected together, stretching to the horizon.

Nearly half of the entire human empire's troops are stationed here to resist the orcs' attack.

"After you go back, rest for five hours and launch the attack after dawn. Do you understand?"

After arriving at the camp, the leading centurion surnamed Wei gave orders.

Everyone responded yes.

The cavalry entered the camp, settled their horses, and then returned to their tents to rest.

As a new member, Xu Bai was temporarily arranged to go to the warehouse where weapons were stored for a temporary rest.

Entering the warehouse, Xu Bai closed the doors and windows of the warehouse and took out the black iron-level treasure box dropped by killing the horse knight from the storage space.

This treasure box was dropped by the first enemy he killed. It can produce specified types of items, and the gold content is naturally needless to say.

Xu Bai took a deep breath, selected the type of weapon as a spear, and thought about all the unlucky things he had done since he was a child, and shouted.

"Please, I really need a spear!"

A burst of black light flashed, and the black iron-level treasure chest disappeared, replaced by a long spear that was completely black, with many gaps on the gun body, and dark golden scale-like patterns faintly appearing on the surface.

Name: Breaking Evil

Type: Long gun

Quality: black iron grade (seriously damaged)

Durability: 120/? ? ? (Insufficient permissions to view)

Attack power: 35/? ? ? (Insufficient permissions to view)

Equipment effect: Attack damage increased by 20%.

Active skills:

Fire Bearer: Breaking Evil has good energy conductivity. During combat, it can attach body energy to the gun, which will increase the damage caused. The increase is base damage +45%.

Passive skill:

Destroy Evil: Causes an additional 50% true damage to evil spirits, spirits, and elemental creatures.

Equipment introduction: A weapon that does not belong to this world. It is seriously damaged and seems to need repair.

Looking at the equipment information, Xu Bai's face ached.

Even in a damaged state, the durability of this spear called Poxie is higher than the heavy shield of the Centaur clan that I picked up earlier.

But after reading its skill introduction, Xu Bai felt that the only remaining feature of this gun was its hardness.

It feels like you are a reservist who accidentally obtained the top equipment of the regular army, only to find that you don't even know where the insurance is.

This is the case for Xu Bai. Who knows how he, a reservist with no talent or profession, or even physical energy, can produce such regular army equipment...

"It's okay. At least it's very hard. At least you don't have to worry about it breaking."

Seeing that even after it was damaged, it still had a durability of 120 points, Xu Bai could only comfort himself in this way.

Putting aside the shame of opening the treasure box for the time being, Xu Bai performed two spear skills with a spear.

The spear feels surprisingly good in the hand. The seemingly heavy spear is actually extremely light and agile in the hand.

After dancing a few more times, Xu Bai became familiar with the gun.

He put the spear into the storage space, lay down on the camp bed nearby and rested.

...

Five hours later, the morning sun rose from the horizon, illuminating the sore-covered land.

The assembly horn sounded in the camp, and Xu Bai got up on the camp bed, put on his armor, and carried Po Xie out of the warehouse where he rested last night.

Went to the stable to pick up the war horses and went to assemble.

After a while, the entire cavalry battalion was assembled.

After everyone had breakfast, they headed to the school field in the center of the camp, led by the centurion surnamed Wei.

In the center of the school grounds stands a tall military point platform.

At this time, on the huge campus, troops were gathering one after another.

After a while, it became dark and crowded.

In about half an hour, nearly 300,000 troops gathered in the school grounds.

The assembly is complete.

At this time, there were nearly 50,000 cavalrymen in the school grounds alone.

After watching the personnel gathering, a marshal wearing golden armor, a golden helmet, and a red robe walked onto the military command platform in the center of the school field.

The sword in his hand pointed at the sky, and with a sound like a bell, he shouted loudly: "Over the years, we have fought those beast-blood bastards countless times."

"Are you afraid?"

"Don't be afraid!"

Hundreds of thousands of soldiers below immediately responded with overwhelming momentum.

Seeing that the morale of the soldiers was so high, the marshal was very satisfied and continued.

"This time the empire is using all its strength, and the main forces have already assembled in the rear. I need you to be the vanguard to open a path to victory for the empire!"

"The empire will last forever, and humanity will last forever!"

The soldiers knocked their weapons on the ground and shouted:

"The empire will last forever, and humanity will last forever!!!"

"The empire will last forever, and humanity will last forever!!!"

"The empire will last forever, and humanity will last forever!!!"

Shocking shouts resounded through the sky, and the morale of the entire army reached an unprecedented peak.

Even Xu Bai's emotions were infected and he shouted loudly along with him.

"Attack!" the marshal shouted again.

After the words fell, the gate of the school field on the side of the frontline battlefield was opened.

Nearly 50,000 cavalry troops, including Xu Bai, were the first to leave, moving away first, preparing to outflank the enemy in a roundabout way.

After a while, the infantry troops in the rear formed a military formation. As the main force of this vanguard army, they had to face the orc army.

The military formation composed of hundreds of thousands of people exuded a murderous atmosphere and advanced towards the frontline battlefield not far away.

As a member of the cavalry, Xu Bai had to make detours after the war.

The cavalry troops were divided into multiple groups and began to outflank them.

So after going around a big circle, we arrived at the forest not far from the orc tribe's base camp.

The cavalry unit Xu Bai was in was hiding, waiting to outflank the orcs' troops after the war broke out.

From a distance, the buildings in the orc base camp are mostly supported and decorated with bone materials. The outer circle of the camp is covered with the heads of human soldiers, giving it a brutal and bloody feeling.

Not long after, troops were pulled out from the orc camp and marched towards the frontline battlefield.

...

When it came to letting the cavalry outflank the orc troops, there was a very important factor that was actively ignored by everyone.

That is, once the cavalry unit successfully cuts into the orc army, it will immediately be surrounded by orcs all over the mountains and plains.

In this case, the cavalry's speed advantage cannot be used at all, and its combat power is immediately reduced by at least 70%.

While the cavalry disrupts the orc army formation, they themselves will also be eaten by the fish as bait!

The speed of the cavalry after charging is their greatest advantage.

Using this advantage, they can continuously dig through the enemy's troops like an awl and bleed the enemy.

Once they are forced to dismount and fight after being surrounded, the small group of cavalry that loses their speed advantage will be quickly wiped out by enemies that are several times or even dozens of times more numerous than their own.

Everyone in the cavalry unit knows this, and I'm afraid they won't be able to come back this time.

But no one showed a trace of fear or fear. This was a war related to the survival of the race. No one would back down at this juncture, even if it meant sacrificing his or her life.

As the orc troops disappeared from sight, the cavalry troops left the woods where they were hiding and chased in the direction where the orc troops disappeared.

Halfway through the journey, a cry of killing mixed with screams came from the distance. This was a signal that the vanguard of the human race had entered into close combat with the large orc army.

"Everyone speed up!" the cavalry commander shouted when he heard the sound.

"Take each centurion as a unit and attack freely!"

"The history of mankind will always remember us!"

As the general's order was passed down, he took the lead in leading his own troops to charge.

The cavalry in the rear spread out and rushed towards the orc army from different directions.

Since ancient times, no one has died, leaving a loyal heart to illuminate history.

Just like Wen Tianxiang said, humans in this world also sacrifice their lives for the survival of their own race.

At this time, Xu Bai also charged with the centurion surnamed Wei, regardless of life and death, and did not cherish his second life at all.

As early as when he killed the first centaur warrior, his concept had already changed.

He has already died once. It was the Court of Origin that gave him the opportunity to participate in the trial and be reborn. He may not die if he charges now, but he will definitely die in five days if he stays behind!

Thinking of this, Xu Bai clamped his horse's belly tightly, speeded up the horse again, and continued to charge!

...

The battlefield in the distance has long been a bloody hell, with scattered weapons and broken limbs everywhere.

After the close combat, the orcs' physical fitness, which was slightly stronger than that of ordinary humans, was revealed, and the vanguard was at a disadvantage for a while.

At this time, the army of millions of orcs gradually spread to the two wings under the control of the central commander, vaguely trying to surround the human vanguard troops of only a few hundred thousand.

Once surrounded by the orc army, the human vanguard will face a situation of catching a turtle in a jar.

I'm afraid it won't be able to sustain the arrival of the large troops from the rear.

At the critical moment, smoke and dust billowed up from behind the orc army.

In the smoke and dust, a group of cavalry rushed towards the orc army with thunderous momentum.

Before the cavalry arrived, a hail of arrows shot at the orcs, knocking down a group of orcs.

There was a commotion behind the orcs, and before they had time to react, the human cavalry rushed forward, led by the commander of the cavalry regiment.

The knights' horses accelerated and smashed into the orc army.

Then, the horse under the knight's crotch was filled with weapons.

The war horse let out a cry.

After the war horse knocked away several orcs, they turned into corpses and lay on the ground.

The knight on horseback immediately dismounted and fought on foot. He formed a simple military formation with several comrades around him and fought hard with his sword. He actually persisted for a while in the orc army before being wiped out.

The cavalry were like waves hitting the rocks, attacking the orcs' phalanx one after another, causing chaos behind the orcs.

The orc commander immediately detached his troops to block the human cavalry.

With the cavalry's rear harassment, the pressure on the human vanguard suddenly eased, and the human coach also breathed a sigh of relief.

Not long after, the first wave of cavalry led by the cavalry general was wiped out, and the general himself died on the battlefield.

The smoke and dust behind the orc army had not dissipated yet. That was when Xu Bai's second wave of cavalry troops arrived.

An orc cavalry composed entirely of centaurs and horses separated from the flanks of the orc army and went to block Xu Bai's second wave of cavalry.

But the second wave of cavalry, consisting of small groups of centurions, was not massed together, but dispersed throughout the front.

He immediately avoided the oncoming cavalry and continued to rush towards the orc army.

Different from the previous entire army, this wave of cavalry troops had a huge impact range.

The entire rear line of the Orc Legion was affected by the cavalry charge.

After several rounds of attacks, the entire orc army's rear line was obviously in chaos.

For a time, a small military formation consisting of hundreds or even dozens of cavalry dismounted and fought on foot spread all over the rear of the orcs' front, and it was difficult to wipe them all out in a short period of time.

Naturally, Xu Bai also charged forward with his horse, digging into the orc army like a sharp awl.

After the war horse rushed into the formation and knocked away several orcs, its momentum stopped, it lost speed, and its body was also full of weapons.

The war horse died.

Fall to one side.

Xu Bai immediately dismounted and joined the battle with a spear in hand.

At this time, Xu Bai, Zhang Yi, centurion surnamed Wei and other dozens of cavalrymen formed a battle formation in two circles, both inside and outside, after dismounting and fighting.

The cavalrymen holding short weapons and shields were in the outer circle, while Xu Bai and others holding long spears were in the inner circle.

The cavalrymen in the outer circle wrapped around the charging orc soldiers, while the spears in the inner circle thrust out from the gap between the two comrades, harvesting the lives of the orcs.

The cavalry is the most elite force in the empire, and the training and equipment they use are first-rate.

Even if they dismount and fight on foot, their combat power is stronger than that of the orcs.

At this moment, in the critical moment of life and death, Xu Bai and the cavalrymen who had never met before were working together more and more tacitly.

The battle formation formed by everyone continued to harvest the lives of nearby orcs.

For a while, he withstood several attacks from the orcs and persisted in the melee.

"Tip: You have obtained 30 points of trial merit."

"Tip: You have obtained 20 points of trial merit."

...

"Tip: You have obtained 30 points of trial merit."

In just a few minutes, Xu Bai already had 13 kill tips.

However, the orc infantry is the lowest class of arms, and each kill only has 30 to 20 merit points.

Seeing that the orcs were killed, they did not dare to move forward for a moment. Everyone's morale increased and they formed a formation to charge towards the orcs.

At this time, changes occurred suddenly.

The men and cavalry who had previously blocked Xu Bai and others returned to join the battlefield.

The men and horses relied on their tall bodies and heavy shields in their hands to attack the human cavalry, which had lost their speed.

After a few impacts, the battle formation formed by the cavalry was already in pieces.

More than half of the human cavalry in the infantry battle were lost, and the rest were just struggling to hold on.

With the addition of centaurs and cavalry, the orc army quickly adjusted its formation.

The archers on the front began to move to the rear, preparing to take down the human cavalry on foot with their long-range advantage.

The transformation of the orc army was completed in just a few minutes.

In order to avoid being accidentally injured by their companions, the orc infantry retreated quickly.

In an instant, a hail of arrows began to fall on the remaining human cavalry.

The human cavalry who were hit by arrows fell down one after another.

The military formation, which was barely holding on under the impact of the Centaur cavalry, was washed away by the rain of arrows and completely collapsed.

After several rounds of arrow rain, the battlefield was littered with the arrow-studded corpses of human cavalry.

Only a heavy shield of a Centaur cavalry stood on the ground, incompatible with the surrounding corpses.

A human cavalryman under the shield was actually safe and sound.

That cavalryman was Xu Bai.

At the critical moment when the arrows were coming, he took out this shield from the storage space and blocked himself from the deadly arrows.

Seeing that the sound of arrows slicing through the air was no longer heard around him, Xu Bai put the shield into the storage space, stood up and looked around.

The battlefield was covered with the corpses of human cavalry. Zhang Yi, whom he had just met yesterday, fell at his feet with arrows stuck in his body.

The fatal arrow shot from the heart into the back, Zhang Yi's eyes widened, the pain before death was fixed on his face, and he refused to close his eyes.
