The battle was not only fought under the city walls, but also on the river to the west of Rushing City.

Countless huge black shadows were quietly lurking beneath the water, approaching like the walls of the western part of Riverrun.

But at the moment when he was about to lurk under the city wall, suddenly several black shadows were suddenly strangled, causing his movements to be unsmooth, and finally he had to emerge from the water and began to gasp for breath.

At this time, there were alarm bells on the river, and on the western city wall, where there were no people, many human soldiers' helmets appeared in a short time, and the lookout post quickly reported the situation on the river.

Huge crocodile people, as well as water snake people, and hippopotamus people, emerged from under the water and soon rushed straight to the dock outside the West City Gate.

Because of the need to take advantage of water transportation, the directors of Riverrun City built a small port outside the west gate, which contained a wharf, many warehouses, and a place to store goods.

This is one of the few small squares outside the West Gate, and once occupied, the orcs can form a formation and attack the city walls from the west.

The humans on the city wall soon discovered the intentions of these orcs, and immediately mobilized a large number of archers and began to shoot intensively at the orcs under the city wall.

But the orcs who were responsible for the sneak attack on Simon this time were all rough-skinned and thick-skinned.

The crocodile people and hippopotamus people, who already have a thick layer of leather armor, are wearing heavy metal armor, and they are not afraid of the bows and arrows above their heads.

As soon as they landed on the shore, the supple jungle dwellers began to bend their bows and shoot at the humans on the city walls.

The battle was at a fever pitch from the start, with crocodiles and hippopotamus men charging ashore and quickly rushing to several houses on the edge of the pier.

They need to clean up the area to prevent human soldiers from hiding here, and after clearing out the remnants of the enemy, the successor forces can arrive one after another.

At that time, this dock will be their new starting point, and they will be able to attack Riverrun from both the west and north sides.

No way, who made this damn city so well stuck, they half-orcs have hundreds of thousands of empty troops, but they can't be deployed on the battlefield.

There is an absolute superiority in troops, but it can't be invested at one time, but the half-orcs are worried, which is like you obviously carrying a hammer in your hand, but the object you want to smash is slippery and does not leave your hand, and it will not give you a chance to attack at all.

You have no strength, and you have nowhere to go!

Fortunately, they also found that the west side of Riverrun City could also be used, so they planned to attack from this direction as well, so they formulated this pincer offensive battle plan to fight as many human soldiers as possible.

Soon the orcs were cleared and took over the docks, and teams of crocodile men and hippopotamus climbed ashore and began to carve out a solid landing ground.

After a while, there were several boats behind them, which successively brought them a large number of minotaur and pig-headed soldiers, and filled the landing field to the brim.

But at this moment, the orcs who suddenly drove over let out a loud scream, and some people pointed to the river with frightened faces.

The landed crocodiles and hippopotamus people were horrified to see a fleet of boats rushing towards the river from the south.

Soon the flotilla rushed to the front of the orc fleet, and began to fire ballistas and fire oil bombs at the orc warship, and in a moment, the orc fleet was lit into large torches, and became mobile coffins floating on the river.

In fact, the orcs themselves are not good at shipbuilding, these ships are built by the human slaves they capture, and even the ships that transport them are those human slaves.

These human slaves have no heart to resist the human sailors who rush over.

Seeing the ballistas and fire oil bombs fired by the other side, these guys immediately jumped into the water, leaving only the stupid half-orcs on the boat, who accompanied the ships to the funeral.

The warships of the half-orcs on the river soon became burning coffins, and at this time, these human warships turned their guns again and bombarded the half-orcs on the shore.

The fist-sized stone projectile, which seems to be small, can be fired by the giant slingshot they operate, and the trajectory is very straight, even if a minotaur wearing heavy armor is shot, it will be the end of burping on the spot.

If you hit it in the chest, it was a hole the size of the basin, and if you hit it in the head, it would be a headshot on the spot.

Even if it is a hippopotamus with rough skin and thick flesh, if you take a shot, you will immediately be half-crippled and lose your combat effectiveness.

Not to mention the crocodile people, they have rough skin and thick flesh on their backs, but their chests and abdomen are indeed the weakest, and in the face of such a flood of stone bullets, their first choice is to lie on the ground and pretend to be dead.

The jungle dweller, whose waist was the size of a bucket, became angry, operated the giant longbow in his hand, and began to shoot at these human warships.

But these human warships are not vegetarian anymore, and they are also equipped with that kind of big yellow crossbow, and the giant crossbow arrows fired are not weaker than the power of python longbowmen, and the accuracy is even higher.

Soon the python longbowmen were overpowered by the ship's rhubarb, and what was even more terrifying was that the ship's trebuchet kept throwing oil bombs at their heads.

At the same time, the humans on the ramparts operated catapults and threw fire bombs on top of their heads.

The two-pronged approach, flanking from both sides, made these orcs suffer a lot.

Finally, a crocodile man began to hold back and was ready to enter the water.

But those human warships are also guarding against them, and they have dropped a large number of fishing nets with stone pendants near the docks, and these crocodile people will be entangled to death as long as they are entangled in these fishing nets, even if they are excellent in the water.

Because many places in these nets are equipped with wire barbs, once you get entangled, the more you struggle, the tighter it will be entangled.

And the crocodile people, no matter how good they are in the water, they have to show their heads to the water to pant for breath, not to mention that they are all covered with heavy armor.

After a few struggles, his physical strength will be exhausted, and he can only become fish food at the bottom of the river.

In less than half an hour, the landed orcs were wiped out.

The half-orcs failed to attack on both sides, so they could only increase their investment in the direction of the north gate, and the confrontation on the frontal battlefield began to gradually become white-hot.

The fierce battle lasted from the afternoon to the evening, and the phalanx of the orcs changed wave after wave.

Under the suppression of the aerial fire support overhead, they can also be regarded as achieving certain results.

The huge stone walls are not easy for even elephant people to cut through, so the result they have achieved is to effectively kill the human soldiers on the city walls.

The war has turned into a war of attrition, which both sides are well aware of.

In front of the fifty-meter-high Wall of Sighs, all the strength, speed and size advantages of the orcs have all disappeared, and the only thing they can rely on is the thick skin and thick flesh and high defense to fight with the humans.

In the past, they disdained to wear armor against human soldiers, but now that human weapons have been improved many times, even if they have rough skin and thick flesh, they will still burp if they don't wear armor and take a few hits.

Therefore, they all chose to wear armor to fight with humans, and they already had a talent for high defense, and when they put on armor, they offset the geographical advantage occupied by humans.

In addition, the orcs use long-range strikes, and the trinity combat mode with air-ground coordination is comparable to that of humans.

The battle loss ratio between the two sides was probably maintained at about 1 to 1, which was already a big improvement for the human defenders, but they were not happy.

Because if this fight continues, in the end, the human soldiers will definitely be consumed first.

The sky had darkened, but the half-orc attack did not stop, but they relied on the advantage of night vision to continue to organize the siege of the city overnight.

The purpose is to never sleep, and to consume the humans on the city wall to death.

And in the half-orc camp, the leaders of the various tribes involved in the war were meeting at this time.

"We had a good result today, and the intelligence from the sentinels I sent out showed that we had shot at least three hundred human soldiers today. There are more than 500 wounded by the shooting, but our bows and arrows are all smeared with poison, so these people can also be counted as shot!"

Sitting at the bottom of the tent was a man in a cloak, and although there were many torches lit in the tent, the head of this guy was hidden in his hood, but it was still difficult to see.

Beside him sat two men dressed in the same clothes as him, the priests and bishops who came to the top of the orcs to rule the papal chamber.

The one who sat first to speak was the commander of the orcs this time, Dioscido, one of the twelve blue-clothed archbishops in the Pope's Hall, and next to him was the high priest Zhuo Tuo, who had fought Xiao Feng in Napal Mountain City, and the other was the high priest Erqi.

This time, the Pope's Hall sent three high-ranking clergy as commanders, which shows the importance attached to this war.

And the leaders of many orc tribes below are even more afraid to come out.

"But Lord Bishop, we have suffered heavy losses in Ximen today, and the plan of attacking from these two sides does not seem to be Sun Chang!"

"Hmph, it's not because you monkeys don't cooperate well, if you can control those dragons to rush down and cooperate with us when we attack Simon, we won't fail so badly. ”

A crocodile man sitting on the left side spoke, and as he spoke, he glared at an ape-man opposite, obviously very dissatisfied with what was happening on the battlefield today.

As soon as he said this, the ape-man on the other side was not happy.

"There are thirty-five dragons in all, seventeen have been lost in the battle, and eighteen are left. But among them, there are thirteen who are overtired, need to be healed, and are ready to rotate. I can only leave five heads on the battlefield, and I have to take care of the attack at the north gate, how can I support your side of the west gate?"

The ape-man leader Attiric was very unhappy with the crocodile leader Ser Khan's criticism, and their ape-man tribe has also suffered a lot of losses in the past few days!
