Although it is already the end of August, the temperature in Fernando City is still extremely hot. Soon after the sun rises from the east in the morning, the heat has become unbearable. The door of the orc camp made a creaking sound, and a large group of The orc warriors filed out and formed a square formation in the open space outside.
Soon, these orc warriors had formed a neat square formation. They had done similar things in the Thunder God Fortress, but that time it was to show off their strength and force the warriors of other clans to attack. This time, the barbarians They are the main force of the Bear Clan's attack.
The Beast King and Prophet Evan stood on the chariot and slowly appeared in front of everyone. The leader of the Mammoth Legion, Lei, personally drove the Beast King. The chariot of the Mammoth Legion and the Blood Guards of the Beast King followed closely behind. The last ones that appeared were a large number of warriors from other clans. These warriors did not have the aura of the Barbarian Bear clan warriors at all. Not only were they very different in physical appearance, but even their eyes showed timidity and fear towards the Barbarian Bear clan warriors. look,
Orcs mainly make a living by herding and hunting. Their army is actually the young adults in the clan. They are busy with life when they have nothing to do. Once a war breaks out, they immediately bring their own weapons and become warriors. This method has continued. For thousands of years, things have changed in the Beast King and the Prophet Evan. At the suggestion of the Prophet Evan, the Beast King classified the tribesmen in the Barbarian Bear Clan, and the strongest males were selected separately for high-quality cultivation. Intense training to become a qualified warrior,
The Barbarian Bear Clan used this method to quickly possess a powerful army, thus quickly establishing its absolute dominance among the orc tribes. These elite warriors are the foundation of the Barbarian Bear Clan. As long as they are still there, the Barbarian Bear Clan will The Bear Clan is still the ruler of the orcs. Now, the Beast King has led all the orcs outside the city of Fernando, the imperial capital of mankind, realizing the orcs' centuries-old dream of returning to the Nantalun Grassland, and as long as the Beast King leads him again If they take one step forward, this huge empire composed entirely of humans will fall apart, and the orcs will take advantage of the situation and rule the entire continent.
The Beast King stood tall on the battlefield. He looked at the walls of the imperial capital several kilometers away and gave his final encouragement to his warriors: "We have finally waited for this day. The honor of the beasts, the dreams of our ancestors, and our people The future of the world is all in your hands. Go forward, my warriors, use the most powerful force to destroy everything in front of us, conquer this city, conquer this empire, and conquer the entire human race."
"Kill." Hundreds of thousands of warriors from the Barbarian Bear clan shouted in unison. The huge momentum also shocked other clans who were also orcs. Many people had looks of horror on their faces, and they no longer dared to resist the barbarians. The biggest hope of these orcs now is that the Beast King can keep his promise and allocate corresponding land and wealth to himself, so that he can live a good life.
The Beast King gave an order, and the orcs' attack began. 50 stone-trebuchets equipped with wooden wheels were slowly pushed and placed less than 3 kilometers away from the imperial capital city wall. Soon, the catapult rods of these stone-trebuchets It was pulled horizontally by the noose, and pieces of heavy objects removed from unknown buildings were placed in the "spoon" behind the ejection rod. Most of these removed heavy objects were stones, which counted. There are stone bullets on the top. These catapults were obtained by the orcs from the walls and warehouses of the Thunder God Fortress. After a simple study, the orcs mastered the method of using them and learned that their range is about 2000 to 3000 meters,
Hundreds of siege vehicles are scattered in an area of about ten kilometers. These siege vehicles are much larger than those in the Thor Fortress, and they look more solid, especially the baffles on the siege vehicles. Many orc warriors following the car were protected. This was mainly because the orcs had obtained part of the human siege equipment manufacturing technology in the Thunder God Fortress, and could make this siege vehicle larger and stronger. Each siege vehicle There are 8 orcs in the city car pushing hard, and there are more than ten people behind each siege car. They will be the first wave of warriors to reach the city wall.
After the siege vehicles, the orc warriors dispersed into a loose formation. Since the city wall of the imperial capital is only 5 meters high, the orcs, who are generally over 2 meters tall, can easily carry a wooden ladder less than 5 meters long. , and these orc warriors carrying wooden ladders were also protected by orc warriors holding shields to prevent them from being attacked by human shooters.
A huge whistling sound passed through the air, and the 50 orc trebuchets began to fire "stone bombs". After flying more than ten meters in the air, the "stone bombs" weighing more than 100 kilograms hit the city wall of the imperial capital hard. , stone fragments suddenly flew in all directions, and these "stone bullets" either bounced hard and continued to roll and fly out, or they simply fell apart and enveloped the surrounding area for several meters.
Bacon observed everything in front of him expressionlessly. As the captain of the Royal Knights, Bacon is now the commander of a regiment with 60,000 people. However, there are only a few hundred people among them who can truly be called elite. They They are all holy knights and trainee holy knights of the Royal Knights. About one-third of the warriors are soldiers who have received military training. The rest are ordinary men recruited temporarily this time.
The attack of the orc catapult made Bacon's recruits panic for a while. However, with the comfort of the Holy Knight Captain and many veterans, they quickly regained their composure. Bacon looked at the distance slowly heading towards his siege. The large number of orc warriors behind the cars and siege vehicles sighed helplessly. The peace that this city has enjoyed has been too long.
According to General Orlando's estimation, the first wave of the orcs' offensive will be very fierce. If the human elites are placed on the front line, they may be exhausted soon. When Bacon received the order to garrison the north gate of the imperial capital, he He also received another order from Orlando in private. If the orc attack was too fierce, Orlando allowed Bacon to retreat immediately and rely on the buildings in the city to resist.
The orcs' siege equipment can cause huge damage to the city walls, but facing the millions of houses in the imperial capital, Bacon does not believe that the orcs will use catapults to destroy them one by one. Besides, there are no bunkers on the city walls. Yes, and many of the buildings on the imperial city wall are very strong and may not be able to withstand stone bullets fired by trebuchets.
"Let our trebuchets start fighting back." Bacon saw that the orcs' siege vehicles had entered the shooting range, so he issued this order. The trebuchets fixed by humans on the walls of the imperial capital immediately took action, and soon launched a round The round stone bullets destroyed many orc siege vehicles and killed hundreds of orc warriors.
When the orcs' leading siege force entered a distance of 500 meters from the imperial capital, the human trebuchets were unable to do anything due to angle and range factors. Originally, Bacon should have ordered a covering attack on the orcs' troops with bows and arrows to maximize the impact. Kill and injure the enemy. Unfortunately, Bacon's men simply don't have many soldiers in this field. The holy knights are limited to their own beliefs and are absolutely not allowed to use weapons such as bows, crossbows, and daggers. The newly recruited warriors can't even hold spears and swords. , how can we expect them to shoot accurate arrows? If a potential recruit wants to meet the standards of a shooter, he usually needs to undergo a full year of rigorous training. There is no such time now.
Without the support of the shooter, the orcs took great strides and moved forward at full speed. Soon someone came to the bottom of the city wall. The orcs with wooden ladders put the wooden ladder on the city wall without hesitation, and then quickly began to climb. Climb, the city wall of the imperial capital is only 5 meters high, there is nothing we can do about it. After all, the city wall of the entire city of Fernando stretches for hundreds of kilometers, and this is the juncture of grassland and hills. Where did so many stones come from
"Kill." Seeing this situation, Bacon roared with all his strength and commanded the human soldiers to start resisting the orc attack. Dozens of holy knights took the lead, waving their weapons to attack the climbing orcs. Under their leadership, the new The soldiers who joined the army also fought side by side with the veterans, and gradually adapted to this kind of bloody fighting.
The 5-meter-high city wall is difficult to prevent orcs from climbing. More and more orcs appear on the city walls of the imperial capital. The pressure on the human defenders is also increasing, and there are more and more casualties. These orc warriors are The most elite warriors of the Barbarian Bear Clan. Except for the Holy Knights who can deal with them relatively easily on the human side, it takes 3 to 5 veterans to resist the attack of the orcs, and even more so for the new recruits who don't know how to fight at all. It takes more than a dozen people to barely resist. Sometimes an orc warrior goes crazy and beats dozens of new recruits to the point where they retreat in embarrassment.
Although Bacon has been fighting on the front line, he still pays attention to the battle situation. The first thing those orcs do after climbing onto the city wall is to destroy the human trebuchets as much as possible or prevent humans from continuing to use the trebuchets to attack them. compatriots, and succeeded repeatedly. Soon, the density of trebuchet attacks on the human side became sparse, which allowed the orc follow-up troops to accelerate forward without interference.
Those orc siege vehicles were basically of no use. The orcs originally thought that they would encounter the same kind of bow and arrow shooting at the Thunder God Fortress again, which was the nemesis of the orc infantry. Unexpectedly, in the imperial capital, the battle started for a while. We have even controlled a lot of city wall areas, and we have not seen the arrows shot by human shooters. This made those powerful orcs give up following the slow-moving siege vehicles, and directly took long strides and forced them at full speed.
Bacon swung his long sword and stabbed an orc to death. He picked up the shield in his left hand and slapped an orc who had just exposed his head. The latter fell down without even a grunt. Bacon took advantage of this gap. Shouted loudly: "Retreat as planned."
