Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
Heavy drums sounded one after another, and each drum sound seemed to be beating hard on the hearts of the imperial soldiers on the city wall. The drum sound gradually became more rapid, and became like a reminder.
The shouts of the orcs became less chaotic, and several black phalanxes let out neat and rhythmic shouts.
Roar! Roar! Roar!
Standing on the city wall, the soldiers of the empire seemed to be able to clearly see the white gas coming out of the mouths of those monsters, as well as the hideous faces.
"Bastin! Show the bravery of our orcs!!"
Standing on the high platform of the camp, one of the giants of the orcs, Rhino King Rock roared loudly.
Just off the stage, a giant rhino who was two heads taller than the surrounding orcs roared immediately. This rhinoceros named Bastin is one of the leaders of the cattle tribe who is deeply trusted by the rock. He is a hero and is good at fighting. He is the most powerful leader in training and commanding fighters among the cattle tribe.
Different from ordinary bulls, this rhino named Bastin is an extremely rare white rhino among orcs. His rough skin is covered with hard horniness, and even a sharp blade cannot cut into it. skin! What's more, it is still covered with a thick layer of iron armor at the moment, and a huge silver metal ring is worn on the rhinoceros horn at the tip of its nose. This is a symbol of noble blood and status among the rhinoceros family!
And the thick body, in addition to the thick natural skin, it also has more terrifying power than ordinary rhino warriors. After receiving the order from the rock, Basting roared loudly. He grabbed his weapon—it was a mace nearly two meters long and full of iron thorns. He ran out in big strides.
The battle begins now!
Bastin is a well-known warrior and commander among the orcs. It ran to the front of the team and raised its right hand high. The thick voice roared loudly: "The stone cannon is ready!! The adjustment angle is under the row of catapults outside the camp. The bull warriors immediately got busy and moved the polished round boulders onto the launcher piece by piece. There are also Diniu warriors adjusting their angles nervously.
The catapult was pushed forward again some distance. under heavy stones. The wooden wheel below was pressed and creaked.
"Pay attention to concealment! ⊥ weapon attack! Stand firm! Unrelated people enter Tamiro and still stand on the top of the tower. Behind him. On the wall. A flag of thorns and flowers symbolizing the empire flutters in the morning wind.
Besting saw the fully armored human on the city wall in the distance. That guy stood at the highest point of the tower without any hesitation, and even stepped on the wall.
Bastin cracked his mouth and let out a grin. Then raise your arms high. Fierce swipes and dense roars sounded non-stop from behind it immediately! A slingshot. Eject boulders one by one towards the human city wall!
In the sky, dozens of arcs were drawn immediately. As one after another, heavy stone bombs bombarded the city wall. Suddenly there was a roar like a landslide and an earth crack!
This Kaspersky room for humans is built extremely solidly. The stone bullets that hit the outside of the city wall head-on can only crack the wall on the outside of the city wall. Stone chips burst and scattered in all directions. But the main body of the city wall is still majestic and motionless.
It's just that some stone bullets fell on the city wall. Immediately, many human soldiers who were still sticking to their posts were smashed to pieces! Each of the stone bombs has a diameter of nearly two meters. Moreover, it became round under the superb craftsmanship of the dwarves. Once it falls on the city wall.
Not only did it smash the wall to pieces. If it falls on the city wall, it will roll inertially! In the midst of screaming miserably. The soldiers on the small city wall could not dodge. Immediately, it was pressed down by the rolling boulder. Turned into a ball of meat sauce!
"Look for cover! The majestic voice of the pump Zhuo Huo army is still resounding at the highest point of the tower. The Kaspersky line of defense, the main cedi city wall, left enough design to deal with the enemy's catapults when it was built!
Towers at intervals on the ramparts. It became a fortification for the soldiers to avoid, and more and more soldiers crowded into the tower in large numbers.
Those towers are made of the strongest whole blocks of large stones. The anti-strike ability has been fully designed, and... the ancient heavy siege weapon such as the catapult. Although powerful. But the huge flaw is that the aiming head is very low!
Even the best fighters. It is also almost impossible to control the landing point of the stone bullet. Therefore, we can only use dense coverage to cause maximum damage to the enemy. It can be said. The catapult is a weapon. It's not about technology, it's about character.
After a wave of projections from the orc army, hundreds of stone bombs were blasted towards the human fortress! The city walls burst everywhere. Seemingly in a mess, stone chips were flying everywhere. There were screams one after another.
But when the orc ended this round of projection. Although the human city walls seem to be full of trauma. In fact, the main building has not moved at all. The cracking of some stone chips on the surface did not reduce the defensive ability of the city wall much.
Just some stone bombs thrown into a human fortress. After crossing the city wall and landing in the city, the huge round stone bomb rolled up after landing, but it caused a little unexpected trouble for humans.
When the dust gradually dissipated, General Miro still stood proudly on the city wall!
The human soldiers who hid in the tower rushed out again. For a while, the city wall was crowded with densely packed human soldiers. I don't know who picked the head first. The human soldiers began to laugh loudly at the orc army in the distance, yelling and cursing, as if they were mocking each other.
"Haha! A monster is a monster!!"
"See! The grandpas haven't lost even a single hair!!"
"You only throw stones!!"
Some soldiers simply lifted their leather armor. turn around. He slapped his ass fiercely at the orc in the distance. Make various actions to humiliate each other.
The human soldiers on the city wall shouted and laughed almost crazily, which was a way to boost their morale.
Although the orcs in the distance don't understand what the humans are shouting. But he was also irritated by the actions of those human soldiers.
at this time. Milo, who was standing tall on the city wall, had already issued an order.
"Let those savage monsters who can only throw stones taste our strength! Ballista ready!"
As his order was conveyed quickly, there were towers one after another on the city wall. The elite heavy ballista equipped by the empire was pushed out. In the stomping mouth of the tower, one after another, giant crossbow arrows protruded from the city wall like steel thorns.
"Aim at their catapults!"
The gunner of the ballista immediately began to adjust the scale on the ballista, these precision heavy weapons made by humans. Naturally, it is much more advanced than primitive catapults. The experienced gunner aimed the ballista at the distant opponent's catapults one by one behind the phalanx.
After a while, humans launched their powerful counterattack!
On the city wall, in the mouth of the tower, dozens of ballistas were fired at the same time. in the sky. Dozens of huge crossbow bolts flew out in shock! These giant ballistas are launched using the mechanical elasticity of the noose. The longest range can reach about 1,500 meters. It was originally a sharp weapon on a naval warship. It can easily pierce the enemy's hull from a thousand meters away! It can be seen how powerful it is!
more importantly. These catapults are much stronger than the ancient trebuchets in terms of accuracy. Under the control of experienced gunners, the accuracy of the catapults can reach more than 30%, which is naturally stronger than the catapults that can only use cover bombardment to pursue lethality. Know how many times!
Dozens of giant crossbow bolts flew out powerfully, and the metal crossbow arrows reflected in the sunlight. across the sky. Like dozens of shooting stars!
As the humans on the city wall cheered and shouted, they saw the catapults in front of the orcs in the distance. One by one was hit!
obviously. This time, humans are far better than orcs in fighting for character! On weekdays, the accuracy is only about 30%. Today it is as high as nearly 50%!
Huge impact, when the crossbow arrow hits the opponent's catapult. The powerful force can instantly penetrate several woods of the opponent's catapult! Then with the roar, the tall catapult suddenly collapsed.
Among the orc camp. Bastin and many orc soldiers roared angrily, but they had nothing to do with this long-range human weapon.
Looking at the cheering humans on the city wall. The orc general Bastin waved his hand fiercely: "Attack! The front team sets off and fills up the enemy's trench!"
The drums sounded again, followed by a whoop. The first two rows of warriors in the orc queue were holding various things in their hands, such as sacks filled with soil, huge stones, or some discarded wood, etc., amidst the sound of the drums advancing by the orcs, they roared. He Biaohan's roar rushed towards the human city wall!
Immediately, Milo's expression darkened on the tower, and he turned around and shouted loudly: "Archers are ready!"
"Archers ready!"
"Archers prepare!!"
In this era of cold weapons without a battlefield communication system, the command of the general can only be conveyed by the shouting of soldiers one by one.
Under the inner side of the fortress wall, humans have gathered more than 2,000 archers, and they formed a standard three-row queue. After receiving the order, these elite archers of the Storm Legion immediately took off their long swords with neat movements. bow!
Every archer in the human army is ready. Each of them maintains absolute silence, with a firm face. The standard equipment for each archer is a pair of military bows prepared by the Imperial Army and a suit of leather armor. , a dagger at his waist, and fifteen heavy arrows with iron spines.
At this moment, five arrows have already been inserted into the ground in front of each archer. After hearing the order, the three thousand archers immediately pulled out an iron ridge weight from the ground in front of them with uniform movements. Arrows come.
Then, the three thousand imperial archers drew their bows and set their arrows.
At this time, the commanding soldiers standing on the city wall who had long observed the position of the archers in the imperial army roared loudly in a thick voice, and there was news of the enemy.
"The enemy is approaching!! Eight hundred meters!! The sky is forty degrees! Throwing!
hum! !
Three thousand bowstrings trembled at the same time, making a terrible humming sound! Following this sound, countless sharp arrows shot up from the inner side of the fortress wall like flying locusts, rushing towards the sky densely!
Those thousands of sharp arrows rushed into the sky in an instant, within a moment. It was like a dark cloud rising into the sky, which almost blocked the morning sun! ! Then. With the inertia, thousands of sharp arrows fell one after another, like raindrops all over the sky! !
The orc's assault squad is running hard. They let out wheezing gasps. Holding heavy sacks, stones, wood, etc. in his hands.
But there is no trench line waiting to approach humans. The rain of arrows has already fallen from the sky!
Immediately, the rain of arrows that looked like dense rain and dark clouds accurately covered the heads of the Orc Charge Death Squad! In just one effort, the orcs who rushed to the front fell down like cutting wheat!
The sound of whistling was endless. On the battlefield below the city. The orcs ran one after another, screaming and roaring angrily. One by one, the orcs fell down unwillingly. Some orcs rely on their physical strength to dress up. Thick skin. Even with five or six arrows in his body, he continued to run for more than ten steps before falling down.
And some orcs were shot in the ankle and fell to the ground howling like wild animals.
Although the orcs have a natural and powerful physique, their thick fur and muscles make them more powerful when facing bows and arrows. Possesses a natural ability to carry blows. But human beings were in the battle where three thousand cavalry entered the battle in the first battle. But got enough information!
In the temptation of the cavalry to fight, the cavalry came back alive. It brought a full assessment of the combat effectiveness of the orcs. Based on the evaluation of the physical strength of these orcs and the hardness of their armor. The commander of the human army immediately ordered to abandon most of the wooden arrows! So today the 3,000 elite archers under the city wall are all using heavy arrows that are expensive but more lethal!
After one round of throwing, nearly one-third of the orc's charge fell down. And the remaining orcs. But immediately spontaneously dispersed the formation, and continued to rush towards the trench without fear of death.
"The enemy is approaching! Six hundred steps!! Throwing!!!"
The observers on the city wall issued an order again! Can become an observer of archers. They are all selected veterans and archers with the most experience. They have undergone strict training on observing the enemy's distance on the battlefield and learning all the shooting ranges of archers. on the observation post. Faithfully act as the "eyes" of the archer! !
"The enemy is approaching!! Four hundred steps! Throwing!!"
hum! ! The bow vibrates the string! !
Sharp arrows were shot one after another, depriving the lives of one orc after another.
And after three rounds of throwing, the Orcs' Chargers lost nearly half of them. Finally rushed to the edge of the human trench position! Even among the living orcs, most of them were injured, and even some of the orcs were shot with arrows, but they missed the vital parts. However, under the instinct of a natural orc clan, even though they were covered in blood, they were still injured. To the edge of the ditch!
Sandbags one by one, stones one by one, and piles of wood were thrown into the trench!
But the fate waiting for them is still not safe!
On the city wall, human archers rushed out of the towers one after another! The bows in the hands of these archers are shorter than the bows in the hands of the longbows behind the city wall, but it is enough to deal with the enemies who have rushed to the trench on the city wall!
"Dive down!!"
With an order, sharp arrows were shot at those orcs who had completed their missions! One after another, black orc figures fell down, and some of them fell to the ground and survived for a while, but they still let out some roars that humans could not understand.
Some orcs even roared fiercely after being hit by an arrow, and simply jumped into the ditch dug by humans! There were long sharp thorns arranged by humans in the trench! The orc's bulky body fell, and was immediately pierced by the protruding long thorn!
However, more orcs who were shot by the arrows had no intention of turning around and retreating after dropping the things they had filled the trenches in their hands. Your own corpse, to try to fill the trenches of human beings! ["Amaranth death Qiya has not faced this kind of brave and fearless enemy for a long time, but under the strict orders of the officers, those archers who have undergone strict training still suppressed the shock in their hearts and kept going. Shoot the sharp arrow in your hand!
Just this morning, under the nearly suicidal charge of the orcs, row after row of death squads roared. Under the dense rain of arrows behind the human defense line, they rushed towards the human defense line wave after wave in a near-suicidal manner! Using the things in their hands and their own corpses, they desperately filled up the trenches dug by humans!
The longbowmen team behind the city wall has already been transferred to the reserve team. And after several rotations! Because even if it is an excellent archer.
Physical strength can only persist in shooting about ten arrows. Then the arms will be sore and limp. Incapable of continuing to shoot the reserve team up! shooting!
Reserve team removed, home team redesigned!
rotation! Rotate again! !
Throughout the morning, even the observers on the city wall shouted hoarsely. Those orcs seemed to ignore their own lives at all. Waves of death squads, like ocean waves, beat over again and again!
on the battlefield. The corpses of orcs left behind have exceeded 5,000. And the ditch that human beings have dug so hard to reach a distance of 100 meters has almost been filled under the city wall! !
Facing the almost numb suicide charge of the orcs, even those officers who have undergone strict training among humans. There are also those warriors who are proud of their courage on weekdays, and they can't help being moved!
The death squads of those orcs, at the end. It even seemed to have inspired their animal nature, and the death squads behind even simply took off their armor. Going into battle shirtless, just to make myself run faster after getting rid of the armor!
Beast corpses are everywhere on the battlefield!
General Miro who has been standing on the tower. His face was already full of gloom!
A whole hundred years! Has mankind ever encountered such a powerful enemy? ! Hundreds of years of peace. Has the human army ever encountered such a brave and fearless enemy
Compared with these orcs, those grassland cavalry who were once enemies of the empire. Immediately it seemed nothing!
Paid the lives of more than 6,000 orc death squads! But only to fill up the trenches! And thousands of orcs died. But the eyes of the orc general Bastin who stood in front and commanded remained cold and calm. This white rhino noble general. Simply ignore those casualties!
Because of those orc death squads. It's just some criminals and people of humble origin in the orc tribe. According to the tradition of the orcs. These people were incorporated into death squads, and they had no choice but to sacrifice desperately and complete tasks. In order to offset their sins, or after they die. Only their local family members can improve their status in the clan!
They are standard cannon fodder! It's just cannon fodder!
After Basting saw that most of the winding trenches under the city wall, which were originally 100 meters deep, had been filled, it finally gave the order to attack!
"The trench is filled! Push up the siege equipment! Soldiers, let's go! I want to take down the human city wall before sunset today! Be the first to climb the wall. Upgrade to three levels! Bounty gold bone 100 kilograms!"
After the general's order was delivered, the phalanx of the orcs in the rear immediately started to move!
After the leaders roared one by one, the orc warriors in the phalanx. Immediately, everyone took off the huge iron shields on their backs. The orcs in the front row held the shields in front of them, the orcs on the left and right held the shields by their sides, and the orcs in the middle held the shields above their heads!
Soon, one by one, the phalanx slowly squirmed towards the defense line of the city wall!
The front, back, left, and right sides, as well as the orc phalanx covered by densely packed shields, are like tortoises hiding in iron shells, slowly approaching the human city wall! ≡After the first round of projectiles by Chen Sihan Qiao Yuelu, the dense rain of arrows fell on several phalanxes and hit those dense iron shields, but they could only make weak ding ding dong Boom sound! Only some unlucky orcs on the edge were accidentally shot at the position where the calf was exposed outside the shield, or some places that were not arranged tightly enough. Bows and arrows got in through the gaps, causing sporadic kills to the orcs. But other than that, there was nothing they could do about the "iron phalanx" approaching the city wall one by one!
The commander of the city wall, General Miro, immediately saw the strength of the opponent's phalanx. He immediately ordered the longbowmen to stop throwing shots, and the archers on the city wall designed freely, aiming at the opponent's lower legs exposed outside the shield.
At the same time, in all the surrounding towers, the ballistas fired at full force!
Hey, hey, the arrows are flying non-stop in the air, and there is the sound of the heavy noose when the ballista is fired, and the arrows are shot out one by one. Only this kind of heavy weapon can penetrate the opponent's body. Iron Phalanx. But after all, the power of crossbow arrows lies more in penetrating, rather than covering and killing.
Although occasionally a few heavy ballistas hit the opponent's phalanx, and the huge penetrating power pulled out by the noose, each crossbow can kill those orcs who were shot. Immediately turned into a row of meat piercing!
But these phalanxes are clearly the elite among the orcs. As soon as there was a gap in the phalanx, the orcs inside quickly squeezed out and raised their shields to make up for the gap!
As for shooting the opponent's calf exposed under the shield... After all, this is too difficult. Not every archer soldier of the empire is a sharpshooter who can penetrate Yang with a hundred steps.
The killing of the orc subway phalanx is still very limited, but at this time. Finally, the opponent's square has rushed under the city wall!
at this time. Amidst the clacking and clattering sounds, from the perspective of looking down, those orcs withdrew their shields one after another. Disperse the subway wall that was originally like a tortoise shell. And this time. The humans on the city wall were surprised to find out. It turns out that it is under the protection of the outer layer of the subway shield of each phalanx. In each phalanx, there are several teams of orcs hiding in it carrying long ladders!
at this time. The archers on the city wall began to shoot down from a nearly vertical distance. And more soldiers. Then he moved the stones that had been stored earlier and threw them down the city!
Although the soldiers on the city wall fought back desperately. But the ladders were erected one by one! ! Those orcs also have the same courage as the previous death squads! One by one orc soldiers. After removing the shield, someone was hit on the head by a stone. Some were shot by sharp arrows, but as long as they survived. They will even use their shoulders to hold the ladder fiercely!
subsequently.
quickly. On this side of the city wall, more than a dozen ladders have been erected quickly, one by one orcs. With blood-red eyes, he climbed up with all his strength...
"Fight back with all your strength! Hit them down!! Hit them down!!!"
Milo had raised his long sword aloft, giving orders incessantly.
The orders one by one were conveyed quickly, and the human soldiers slashed at the opponent's ladder with their long swords. Trying to cut off or push down the enemy's ladder, occasionally a few orcs can be seen struggling to climb on a ladder on the city wall. But it was suddenly pushed away by the human force. So the orc above fell from mid-air with a scream.
and. Pots of burning hot oil were also poured down fiercely. Some orcs who were climbing the ladder with their heads up were met with hot oil poured on their faces and bodies. Immediately, there was a terrible smell like barbecue. Come down with a call sign. He even smashed down his companions behind him!
can be all in all. But it seems that it can't shake the desire of those orcs to attack! The ladder fell, and there would be dozens of orcs below immediately ignoring each other's arrows and stones. He lifted it up again with all his strength, and pushed it hard!
The orcs on the ladder were knocked down, and there will be more orcs below who are still desperate to climb up again!
Under the fierce attack of the orcs, some orcs finally managed to climb the city wall. What awaits the orcs are countless sharp swords that have already been prepared on the city wall!
first, second. The third... one by one orcs just jumped on the wall. Immediately, the human soldiers would chop their corpses up with swords, or pierce a dozen bloody holes. But the orc warriors, even if they are desperate, will rush to the dense long swords in front of them! Even with the weight of your own corpse, you still have to try to knock the human defenders away by even a tiny bit of distance! So that when the companion behind him comes up, he can relieve a little pressure!
Finally, the human defenders began to suffer casualties!
The powerful close-to-hand combat ability of the orc warriors is undoubtedly revealed after climbing the city wall! Especially some of the higher-level fighters among the orcs, after they climbed the city wall. Often faced with seven or eight human soldiers attacking at the same time, they can still resist tenaciously!
The mighty strength of an orc. Their weapons, and their super carrying ability. Often a human soldier goes up and stabs the opponent with a sword, but it can't cause fatal damage at all. As long as the opponent turns around, a backhand knife can kill a human! !
This is a huge gap in single combat power!
Above the tower, Milo saw a ladder climbing place on the left wall of his city. The human defenders at that place seemed to be gradually unable to resist. Among the orcs, there were a few particularly tall warriors, It was obviously a warrior among the enemies. After rushing up, relying on the city wall with his back, he firmly resisted the surrounding humans, causing more and more orcs on the ladder behind to rush up!
Every time an orc rushes up, the pressure on humans will become greater and greater! Because in terms of individual combat effectiveness, even if it is the soldiers of the most elite Stormtroopers in the empire, compared with the combat effectiveness of orc warriors, it takes three human soldiers to deal with one orc warrior!
When encountering the senior fighters among the orcs, the human soldiers suffered huge casualties!
"Draw the sword!!"
General Miro spat out two words fiercely from his mouth! Behind him are his direct soldiers!
In the army, those who can serve as the general's personal guards are the most powerful warriors selected from the army! These warriors have a higher level of combat power than ordinary soldiers, and many of them have genuine warrior levels! At this moment, Milo gave an order, and he took the team of elite personal guards behind him, jumped down from the steps of the city tower, and squeezed towards the section of the city wall where there was a crisis!
when! !
Milo slashed head-on, and slashed fiercely on the broadsword of an orc warrior. The general's long sword burst out with fighting spirit, and the orc's long knife immediately broke into two pieces, and at the same time, the blade directly cut into the sword. On each other's shoulders!
puff! A stream of hot, foul-smelling blood sprayed on Milo's face, but he didn't care. He pulled out his long sword with his backhand, stabbed hard, pierced the orc warrior, kicked over the corpse, and with a roar, rushed towards him. The next Orc!
This general with the strength of a mid-level knight is like a tiger like a flock of sheep, and with a group of guards behind him who all have the strength of a warrior, he immediately snatched back the leader of the city that was about to miss!
Milo's long sword slashed vigorously, and chopped an orc off the city wall. The orc let out a long roar, and fell down unwillingly. , With this kick, he directly kicked the opponent's ladder to pieces! Then he leaned against the city wall, and a light blade in the long sword slashed down, cutting off more than a dozen wooden steps in the middle of the ladder! The ladder was finally dismembered and scattered.
Milo's face was covered with blood, and his long hair was sticking to the blood. There were still some pieces of meat hanging on the original bright general's armor. Under the shouts of all his strength, the morale of the human defenders was "Kill!! Drive these monsters off the walls!
Under the city wall, one after another, the orcs' phalanxes, like black ants, held their shields high, and hit the human city wall with wave after wave of arrows whizzing non-stop in the air! !
