Another salvo started, and the overwhelming arrows once again swept past. Unfortunately, the effect became worse. Those orcs had found a good way to reduce casualties, which was to hide behind the siege vehicle. Due to the angle, The problem is, after these orcs follow the siege vehicle, they only need to raise their shields high to block the arrows coming from above, without worrying about threats from other angles.
In this way, it would be difficult for human archers to cause a large number of casualties to the attacking orcs. Upon seeing this, the human archer commander in charge immediately issued an order to shoot slowly. The so-called slow shooting means that the archers are required to try their best when shooting. Aim at the target and slow down the shooting speed in exchange for a higher hit rate. The intention of the human shooter leader is very simple, that is, to kill the orcs as much as possible and suppress the orcs' forward speed. Even if the effect is not good, they can't just sit back and watch. Let the orcs approach the walls,
In the two rounds of volleys just now, the elite archers to whom Ryan belonged did not take action. That was because of Ryan's order. In Ryan's view, it would be a waste if a group of elite archers also carried out such volleys. Thanks to their talents, Ryan has been calmly observing everything in front of him from the time the orcs started attacking to now. The orcs have gained a lot of experience in several days of siege battles. The method they used today can indeed greatly reduce the number of attacks. Casualties, but there is also a fatal problem, that is, when these orcs arrive under the city wall alive, their number is not very large, and they cannot cause too much trouble to the human defenders with superior strength.
Obviously the orcs could not let this situation happen. When the first batch of orc soldiers was about to arrive under the city wall, the orc positions in the distance began to surge, and another group of orc soldiers joined the siege. This second group The 10,000 orc soldiers adopted the same method as the previous batch. Under the cover of trebuchets and siege vehicles, they quickly rushed towards the Thor Fortress.
Ryan watched all this silently. He had already thought of a countermeasure in his mind. Seeing the orc attacking troops getting closer and closer to the city wall, he could even see clearly the ferocious faces and the red ones. With his eyes open, Ryan gave the order: "Colin, you spread out immediately, each person is responsible for a section of the city wall, focus on shooting the orcs carrying wooden ladders, and kill the guys hiding behind the siege vehicles when you have the opportunity, and hit them as hard as possible. Enemy morale.”
After Ryan gave the order, these elite shooters immediately jogged all the way into the area they were responsible for. The closest person to Ryan was Colin himself. Colin stood firmly on the ground with both feet, his body slightly bent, and his right hand moved towards his back. Tan, who skillfully pulled out an arrow from his quiver, fixed his eyes on an orc with his head exposed. From time to time, the guy stuck his head out to observe the situation on the city wall, and then informed his companions, At the same time, it guides them in the direction of progress,
Colin silently calculated the distance and position, and placed the arrow in his hand on the bowstring. When the orc showed his head again, Colin suddenly pulled the bowstring, without waiting for the bowstring to be fully drawn, and without deliberately aiming. He let go of the bow string, and the feathered arrow flew out with a swish. The special arrow mercilessly hit the orc's head, immediately taking the life of the orc. The orc's companions still didn't know what happened. , why did the companion who had been guiding him in the direction just fall down softly
It wasn't until the orc fell to the ground that his companions discovered that his face had been pierced by an arrow. The blood stained his entire head red and was still flowing downwards. The orc's companions Only then did I know that my companion who was still alive and kicking just now was dead, killed by human arrows.
A grumpy orc was a good friend of the dead orc. He watched his friend die in front of him. He could not accept this fact in his heart. Even though he was not young, he still held the weapon in his hand. , jumped out from behind the siege vehicle and shouted loudly at the city wall,
Of course, Colin couldn't understand what this orc was shouting. Although he had been in the Thunder God Fortress for many years, he had not learned the language of the orcs. In Colin's eyes, this was simply a target for them. Colin smiled evilly. Then he took out another feather arrow and put it on the bowstring.
Unexpectedly, before Colin could draw the bowstring, an arrow flew out not far away from him and accurately hit the mouth of the shouting orc. The sharp arrow penetrated directly from the mouth of the orc. , and without losing its force, it penetrated through the back of the orc's neck. If it weren't for the feathers stuck to the tail of the feather arrow, this feather arrow might have penetrated.
Colin turned around and saw that it was another elite shooter he had chosen for Ryan. He yelled angrily: "Damn it, Thomas, you usually always go against me, but now you actually dare to take it from me."
The archer named Thomas was about 20 meters away from Colin. He listened to Colin's words word for word, but he did not answer immediately. Instead, he once again pulled out an arrow and struck fiercely. It shot into the thigh of an orc who was carrying a wooden ladder. The orc screamed and could no longer stand and fell to the ground. The wooden ladder he was holding on his shoulders also slipped down.
Looking at his results with satisfaction, the shooter Thomas turned back to Colin and said: "Boy, don't always act like a captain. You are just like me now. You are not just a soldier under others."
"You..." Colin was very angry at Thomas' words. He wanted to curse a few more words, but saw Thomas pull out another feather arrow and shoot another orc to the ground with one arrow, and this orc was about to Go and help the companion who was hit by an arrow in the thigh,
"Ah." Colin suddenly woke up. In a short period of time, it was already three to one, so why should he argue with him? He should seize the time to shoot arrows. Thinking of this, Colin immediately pulled out an arrow and aimed at it. An orc carrying a wooden ladder took off the bow string.
The bow string sounded, the arrows shuttled, blood burst out, and the target fell to the ground. Colin looked at his masterpiece with satisfaction, took out another feather arrow, and began to look for the next prey.
Ryan watched Colin and Thomas compete secretly, with a smile on his lips. This effect was exactly what he wanted. Seeing that the orcs who were attacking the city had to move at full speed and tried their best to block their vital points with shields, but they still From time to time, his life is taken away by a sudden cold arrow. It seems that his plan is implemented well.
Although the members of Ryan's archer team are excellent in archery, they are too few in number after all, and the other archers are far inferior to them in archery. They can only use numbers to suppress the speed of the orcs. Usually if an orc reveals a flaw, there will be more than a dozen. He was greeted with one or even dozens of arrows. If the orc hadn't had time to dodge, he would have been killed by random arrows immediately.
The slow shooting of ordinary shooters and the sniper tactics of elite shooters greatly slowed down the advance of the first batch of orcs. Although they were brave, they were not fools. They ran out of the siege vehicle to die in vain, but as long as the orcs hid behind the siege vehicle , using the shield in his hand to block the parts of his body that might be exposed. The human archers couldn't do anything to them, but occasionally an unlucky orc would be caught by a member of the Ryan Archer Team and killed with one arrow.
The second batch of orc attacking phalanxes had adopted a loose formation and entered the range of the human catapults. They had seen how their companions passed through this area before, and they all hid in their own siege vehicles. Behind, or looking at the sky, flexibly dodge the incoming stone bullets,
This second batch of attacking orcs only carried wooden ladders and siege vehicles, and no catapults. The catapults that the Giant Snake Clan can use today were all put into use when their first batch of attacking troops attacked. Now the Giant Serpent clan The second batch of attacking troops from the Snake Clan pressed forward, and the stone-trebuchets they used before did not have enough space to move flexibly to avoid the blows of the human stone-trebuchets.
In this case, the orc catapults simply stopped moving and threw stone bombs with all their strength to suppress the human defenders on the wall of Thor Fortress to the greatest extent and buy more time for their own army. The orcs used catapults crazily. The most direct consequence of the stone carts throwing stone bombs is that in just ten minutes of fighting against the human stone carts, most of the orcs' stone carts were destroyed. However, the orcs did not care about this loss. Because their trebuchets basically ran out of ammunition, some of the trebuchets actually had the orcs who controlled them to run dozens of meters away to carry the stone bullets thrown by humans.
However, the orcs' catapults also caused considerable results, destroying at least more than 10 human catapults and hundreds of human soldiers, and greatly suppressed the shooting of their companions by human shooters on the city wall. An unlucky guy in Ryan's team was hit head-on by this stone bullet and died on the spot.
Ryan helplessly watched one of his men fall in a pool of blood in the distance. What killed him was the 100-kilogram stone bullet thrown by humans. The orcs used the stone trebuchet to overload, and they could actually throw such a heavy stone. The stone bullets were thrown, which was beyond everyone's expectations. Of course, the orcs did this without a price, that is, the elastic force of the catapult rod of the stone trebuchet was greatly reduced until it was damaged.
"Huh." Another 100-kilogram stone bullet whizzed towards the Thunder God Fortress. When Ryan heard the sound, he immediately looked up to check, but was surprised to find that the stone bullet was actually flying towards where he was standing. , Ryan subconsciously wanted to run away quickly to avoid it, but as soon as he moved, he stood still, because there were Alando, Bart and several other human warriors beside him. Of course, he and Alando could avoid it. , but what to do with other people? Do you want to watch them die
It was not Ryan's style to abandon his comrades, so he decided to give it a try.
In the sky, the stone bullet roared towards me, getting closer and closer;
Beside him, Bart was so frightened that his face turned pale and he was helpless;
Ryan, on the other hand, made a prompt decision and quickly recited the magic spell...
