Views:

The Beast Emperor Andreas and the Prophet Evan appeared on the battlefield, and the entire orc position became silent in an instant. One hundred thousand orc soldiers of the Barbarian Bear clan looked at their emperor feverishly. As long as the Beast Emperor said a word, these Elite warriors can die for him, while the warriors of the Serpent clan stand quietly, waiting for their clan leader Ignati Woods to give the order to attack.

The Beast King stood on the chariot and looked at the Thunder God Fortress. It was this solid fortress that had blocked his ancestors for 200 years, forcing the orcs to fight against the cold weather in the north, to live in pursuit of water and grass, and even to commit suicide. Killing each other, but it is precisely because of this that the orcs have survived in the cruel environment and have maintained a strong combat effectiveness. However, those humans who are addicted to comfort have lost their former glory.

"As long as you break through this fortress, you can claim the vast grasslands to the south and the rich human cities." Beast King Andreas shouted loudly: "Now, the warriors of the giant snake, embark on the journey to restore their ancestors. The path to glory.”

The leader of the Serpent Clan, Ignati Woods, received instructions from the Beast King. He raised his head to the sky and let out a scream, then recited a series of spells that were only used during orc sacrifices. The Serpent Clan war flag fluttering in the wind suddenly stood still. In the air, the giant snake spitting out its core painted on the battle flag was fully displayed.

Under the influence of the spell recited by Ignati Woods, the leader of the Serpent Clan, the appearance of the 30,000 warriors of the Serpent Clan also changed slightly. Their eyes began to turn red, their faces were ferocious, and they could no longer find the look of fear. , and the bodies of these warriors have also become slightly larger,

"Hula la." After standing still for a while, the battle flag with the giant snake began to float again, and Ignati Woods' spell was completed, and he also issued the order to attack: " Forward, warriors of the Serpent.”

After receiving the order from the clan leader, the warriors of the Giant Snake Clan embarked on an offensive journey. The two phalanxes at the front, totaling 10,000 people, began to move forward slowly, while the four phalanxes at the back, totaling 20,000 people, began to move forward. , and the 1,000 clan leader's personal guards stayed where they were. Following closely behind the forward phalanx were dozens of improved siege vehicles and stone-pulling vehicles.

These 10,000 orcs did not line up in a neat square formation, but became more and more scattered. After entering the Grand Canyon, these 10,000 orcs were completely scattered within a radius of 5 kilometers. They looked sparse. It seems that there is not as much momentum as the intensive advance of the past few days, but it is this scattered formation that makes it easier to reduce the damage caused by various human attacks.

When the orcs entered the area two kilometers away from the Thunder God Fortress, the ordinary human trebuchets began to fire stone projectiles. The attacking orcs did not move forward at full speed, but observed the area where the human trebuchets attacked and moved selectively. , and many orcs simply hid in the siege vehicles, using the thick wooden boards on the vehicles to defend themselves against stone bullets.

"Woo." A 100-kilogram stone bullet whizzed down and hit an advancing orc siege vehicle. However, the siege vehicle had quite thick wooden boards on it. The stone bullet did not survive after hitting the wooden board. It hurt the orcs hiding underneath, but the impact it carried slightly hindered the progress of the siege vehicle, and then it ejected and fell to the ground next to it. The hit siege vehicle remained in place. After staying for a short time, he started moving forward again,

"Woo." Another stone bullet fell, slamming an unlucky orc to the ground. The orc's upper body was crushed under the stone bullet, killing him on the spot. However, the stone bullet still had its remaining power, and fell to the ground again. It bounced a few times and rolled dozens of meters away. However, due to the loose attack formation adopted by the orcs, the stone bullet only hit an unlucky guy and did not cause more damage to the orc soldiers.

Dozens of trebuchets deployed by humans on the city wall were launched with all their strength, but the effect was very poor. Except for some orc soldiers killed by frontal hits, there was only one siege vehicle after being hit by several trebuchets continuously. , the protective planks above shattered, killing several orcs hiding below.

The trebuchets that originally showed great power in the city defense battle actually lost their function. This made the human soldiers responsible for launching the trebuchets very dissatisfied. They even used all their abilities to attack with more precise launches. For those slower-moving siege vehicles, the firing frequency of the human trebuchets gradually slowed down, but the hit rate increased steadily. The orc siege vehicles also received more attacks and suffered relatively heavy losses.

Just when the human trebuchets were determined to attack the orcs' siege vehicles, the orcs' light trebuchets also entered the shooting range. The orcs had not done much training in this area, but the human soldiers stood densely on the city wall. The orcs only need to smash the stone bullets against the city wall.

The orc trebuchets began to fight back, and stone bullets were thrown back to the Thunder God Fortress one after another, falling on the city wall, killing many human soldiers, and some stone bullets directly hit the human trebuchets. , destroying those rock-trebuchets without any protective measures,

The Thunder God Fortress is built with stone slabs, etc. The ground is naturally hard and solid, not as soft as the grass outside the city wall. When the stone bullets thrown by the orcs hit such ground, they will not get any buffer, but will hit the hard ground like this. Then it flew forward, hit the ground and bounced up again. Often the human soldiers in front were directly hit by the stone bullets and died on the spot. The stone bullets continued to fly up and rolled over the soldiers behind, seriously injuring several people. The person eventually hit the trebuchet or protective wall at the southern end of the city wall, causing chain injuries.

"Damn it, attack those trebuchets quickly, they have caused too much damage." Someone shouted loudly, but the human trebuchets were previously attacking the orc siege vehicles walking in front. If they wanted to attack the back again, The orc trebuchet must take some time to adjust. In just a few minutes, the orc trebuchet carried out 5 rounds of attacks, causing a lot of casualties to humans.

"Huh." The human trebuchet finally adjusted its range, and a stone bullet was ejected first, followed closely by several more trebuchets that also fired stone bullets. Coincidentally, The first stone bullet launched actually directly hit the stone bullet thrown by the orc trebuchet in the air, and knocked the stone bullet directly back. However, after experiencing such impact, the two stone bullets flew His strength was greatly reduced, and he drew two arcs in the air before falling to the ground. One of the stone bullets also hit an orc, knocking his waist directly into the soil.

The orc screamed in pain. He wanted to push away the stone bullet that was pressing on his waist, but one of his hands was also trapped under the stone bullet. His left hand alone could not help at all, and his abdomen was so damaged. After the fierce impact, a wound was torn directly, and even the intestines were left out, and he was dead.

A companion next to the orc couldn't bear the pain he endured, so he chopped off his head with a sword, then covered his mouth with the gushing blood with his hand. This was a ritual of the orcs. It means that he will bless himself with the blood of dead orcs so that he can kill more enemies.

This episode of the impact of stone bullets cheered up the human soldiers. They worked harder to twist the winch, put in the stone bullets, and then opened the machine to let the horizontal ejection rod eject the 100 kilogram stone bullets. , the stone bullet roared in the air for more than a thousand meters, and then hit hard, destroying the orc trebuchet, or harvesting the lives of the orc soldiers,

The orcs' trebuchets are not to be outdone. Although the orcs responsible for launching do not have the skills of human soldiers, they are more powerful. Usually only two people can winch the winch, and then one person can directly move 50 to 70 kilograms. The stone bullets were thrown into the "spoon" at the end of the ejector rod and then launched out. Moreover, these orcs also learned a lot smarter. After every few launches, they immediately pushed the trebuchet to move with all their strength to avoid being thrown by humans. The car calculated the distance and fired back.

Human trebuchets are superior in their ejection power and high attack accuracy. However, their positions are fixed and they are easily attacked by orcs. Although orc trebuchets have less ejection power and fired stone projectiles than humans. , but the orcs are powerful, and only four or five orcs can operate a trebuchet, unlike humans who need at least 10 people. Moreover, the orc trebuchet can launch very quickly, and it only takes tens of seconds to eject the trebuchet. The rod is pulled horizontally and can be constantly moved to avoid the retaliatory strikes of human trebuchets.

Stone bullets kept roaring in the sky, and the two sides started a battle between trebuchets at a distance of 1,500 meters. Everyone had their own advantages, but it was hard to tell the winner. At this moment, the orc siege vehicles and the orc warriors entered The area is about 500 meters away from the Thunder God Fortress, which is the best attack range for human shooters.

"Let go." Following the command from the human archer commander, the 10,000 human archers standing on the city wall released their bow strings, and 10,000 straight arrows flew high into the sky. The clear sky immediately changed. It was dark, as if a large dark cloud had suddenly arrived. These arrows were flying at high speed in the air. When they reached the highest point, they quickly changed their flight direction. The arrows pointed downward and fell at full speed. Their destination , it was the orcs and their siege engines,

The "rain of arrows" shot by the human archers had too obvious characteristics. When the sky suddenly became dark, the orc attackers raised their shields one after another, and then curled up into a ball as much as possible to resist the arrows.

"Buzz." Ten thousand long arrows swept past, and more than 300 orcs were killed in this round of arrow rain. Their bodies were covered with long feather arrows, and they fell to the ground unwillingly. There were also hundreds of orc warriors. There were more or less feather arrows stuck in the body, but they could still move forward. The orcs hiding under the siege vehicle were not harmed at all, but the thick wooden boards on the siege vehicle were full of feather arrows. , looks shocking,
