Not far away, the orcs hid their bodies behind the bunker as much as possible to avoid the shooting of the human ballistae. Every time the human ballistae was fired, they had to use a manual winch to pull the bowstring of the ballistae back. It takes some time, but the orcs use this short time to move forward quickly and quickly find a new bunker to hide themselves.
The orcs used this tried-and-tested method to break through several lines of human defense, and were about to attack Jonas's position. Unexpectedly, a dense black shadow suddenly appeared in the sky like a dark cloud. The orcs lying on the ground looked up in horror. Go, only to see countless black dots flying down towards where you are,
"What is this?" Many orcs yelled. This question was answered a few seconds later. The black dots hit the orcs crawling behind the bunker, smashing their heads and bleeding. , these orcs immediately discovered that they were broken stones.
Although the weight of each of these small stones is not large, it will still be very painful if it is thrown hard on a person's body. If it hits a vital part, it will be severely damaged. Now use a trebuchet to throw them into the air and then fall down. Once it hits an orc warrior, it will definitely injure them. In some cases, the head will be broken and bleeding will occur, in the worst case, the bones and tendons will be broken, causing the orcs to complain endlessly.
The strength and accuracy of these small stones thrown by human trebuchets are surprisingly poor. Their range is far inferior to that of large stones. They can only fly two to three hundred meters at most, but they are better than The number is huge. A trebuchet can launch fifteen to twenty pellets at a time. When dozens of trebuchets are launched together, it will form an extremely spectacular scenery, causing an effect similar to a coverage attack.
This kind of scattering is indeed difficult to pose a fatal threat to the strong orcs, but its real purpose is not here, but to use intensive attacks to suppress the orcs' actions, even if the orcs are hiding behind the bunker, the stones thrown out are like It can hit them. Once the orcs dare to show their bodies, the human ballistae will penetrate their bodies without mercy and take away their lives. The orcs will only be passively beaten forever as they huddle behind the bunker.
Under the double suppression of catapults and ballistae, the progress of the orcs was checked by Jonas's army. Using these precious time, Jonas consolidated his defense line and persisted until reinforcements from Orlando arrived. When the orcs were on the front line The commander saw tens of thousands more elite human warriors appearing in his front position, and heard the wails of orcs in his ears, so he issued an order to stop the attack.
The orcs who were beaten to death on the front line all showed relief after hearing the order to retreat, and quickly retreated, fearing that the humans would take advantage of the victory and pursue them. Of course, Jonas had more than enough troops to defend and not enough to attack at the moment. , and did not dare to attack easily, but they could not just sit back and watch the orcs retreat like this, so they ordered the trebuchet to use large stone bullets to attack. Now the orcs retreated faster.
When the orcs withdrew from the attack position, all the human defenders on Jonas's defense line cheered. At this point in the imperial capital defense battle, there are only a handful of human armies that can repel the orc attacks, and it is not surprising that the Jonas Army can do this. It was just a good result, and it also wiped away the shame on their heads. I believe that from this time on, no one will dare to look down on Jonas and his warriors again.
The humans won the frontal blocking battle, but the offensive to outflank the orcs was disrupted by the orcs. This was also expected by Orlando, because whenever the orcs captured the human position and completely controlled it, they would Deploying heavy troops and building a solid defense line, the orcs' step-by-step combat strategy greatly protects their flanks and back roads from being cut off by humans, and they can also use this open road to connect soldiers and Supplies are continuously sent to the front line,
Seeing the victory and defeat between the two sides, Orlando shook his head gently. The battle situation was now deadlocked. This was not easy for General Orlando, who was good at attacking. However, there was nothing he could do about it, because humans were on the defensive and could only step forward. Fortify yourself step by step and passively wait for the orcs to attack, while the orcs can invest their elite men at any time and anywhere. As long as they can achieve concealment and surprise, they will pose a considerable threat to the human defense line.
At the same time, in the command post of the orc coalition, the beast king Andreas was sitting on a throne covered with white bear skin and said calmly: "Why stop the attack."
In front of the Beast King are the leaders of the three clans of the Orc Stag, Gray Wolf and Lynx. These three people were the frontline commanders of the attack just now, and it was they who were attacked by Jonas's sudden shotgun attack. The order to retreat had to be issued. Originally, when these three leaders were in their own clans, they all responded to each other and had the power of life and death over their clansmen. They could be said to be of high authority. However, at this moment, when they stood in front of the Beast King, , listening to the Beast King’s plain words, everyone had a look of horror on their faces,
The three clan leaders looked at each other for a few times. The leader of the Buck Clan took half a step forward and carefully explained to the Beast King: "That's it, Your Majesty the Beast King, originally we were going to break through those human defense lines. But who knew that they, these damn humans, actually invested in a new weapon, which was too damaging to our soldiers... "
"Hmph." Beast King Andreas snorted, immediately interrupting the defense of the leader of the Stag Clan, and causing the three leaders to close their mouths tightly, not daring to make any sound for fear of angering the beast. Emperor, Beast Emperor Andreas glanced at the three people in front of him with clear eyes. The three leaders suddenly felt an icy cold air slowly seeping into their bone marrow, as if they were surrounded by ice that would never melt for thousands of years. In the midst of it, I couldn't help but shudder.
The orc's voice was still so unhurried, as if he was narrating an ordinary trivial matter: "Before the battle, I have emphasized the military order. Each clan must comply with the orders and prohibitions, but there are those who shrink from the battle. die."
When the Beast King said the word "death", the faces of the three clan leaders suddenly turned pale. They also knew that although their actions today were to preserve some strength of their clans, they definitely disobeyed military orders. Now that the Beast King said this, it seems that I'm not ready to let them go anymore.
A cold light burst out from the eyes of the Gray Wolf clan. He knew that the Beast King ruled the army with an iron fist, and begging was of no avail. However, he was not willing to die, so he shouted loudly: "Why can't we leave some seeds? Our population It’s not as good as you, the Barbarian Bear, and its combat power is worse than your elite men, but why do we always rush to the front, and why can’t you, the Beast King, go up? Aren’t you known as the number one master of the orcs?”
As soon as the leader of the Gray Wolf Clan spoke, the expressions of the other two people suddenly changed and they winked at him repeatedly. However, the leader of the Gray Wolf Clan ignored him. As soon as he spoke in agitated mood, there was no change between him and the Beast King. Now, if you give in and retreat, your death will be even worse. You can only hold on with all your strength, so you stare directly at the Beast King,
"Oh, so you have objections to my command." A smile appeared on the corner of the Beast King's mouth, and he looked directly at the leader of the Gray Wolf Clan. The leader of the Gray Wolf Clan was not a fool, and of course he would not admit this. , his tone changed, and the anger just now disappeared, and he said in a calm tone: "I have no objection to you. With the strength of your Beast King, you have become the ruler of our orcs. I am sincerely convinced. , but you also said that this is the command center of mankind. I think the most elite troops of mankind are naturally deployed here. I am afraid that the armies of several of our clans are no match."
The Beast King smiled slightly in his heart, thinking that the leader of the Gray Wolf Clan was not stupid, so he asked: "What do you mean?"
Seeing the Beast Emperor's change of tone, the Gray Wolf Clan hurriedly expressed his thoughts: "Is it true that Your Majesty, the Beast Emperor, has sent your most elite troops? If so, we would rather obey the command of your generals. I believe that only The elites of the Barbarian Bear Clan attack, and humans cannot stop them even with a solid defense line."
"Yes, yes." The Buck Clan and the Lynx Clan quickly agreed: "Please ask His Majesty the Beast Emperor to give us some support. If there are elites from the Barbarian Bear Clan, are you afraid that we won't be able to conquer this place?"
The Beast King turned to look at Prophet Evan sitting next to him. The latter stared deeply into the Beast King's eyes and immediately knew the Beast King's plan. Prophet Evan wanted to stop him, but in front of outsiders, he Usually he doesn't speak, especially when he opposes the Beast King's decision to avoid damaging the Beast King's authority, so he can only nod slightly.
The Beast King turned his head and said to Gray Wolf and the other three clan leaders: "Now I will give you two hours to rest and replenish supplies. Once the time is up, you will continue to attack. If you dare to evacuate without authorization, you will be punished by military law." Engage and never forgive.”
As soon as the Beast King spoke, the organs on the faces of the three clan leaders were suddenly crowded together. It was as ugly as possible, but the Beast King continued: "I will personally lead a legion to supervise the battle behind you. If you If you still can't take over this small viewing platform, I will take action myself, and the first step is to take the lives of the three of you."
The three clan leaders felt a chill running through their bodies. Knowing that they had no other way out, they had no choice but to grit their teeth and agree.
After watching the three people exit the command post, Prophet Evan suddenly spoke: "Beast King, is this necessary? You are not only a brave warrior now, but also the commander of a huge army and the ruler of the entire orcs. You You must learn to use your own wisdom instead of relying on force to solve problems."
