537 Final lesson
originally thought that this city could be defended for three or five days, but how did you think that it would fall in less than a day?
Fortunately, in the morning, he arranged for most of the men and horses to retreat first, otherwise if they were attacked by these orcs, the loss would be great.
Although Kyle's training of human armies is quite effective, they can fight street battles in the city, and the orcs are tall and powerful, and have an innate advantage in physical fitness and protection.
So if there is a street fight, then humanity will lose a lot.
Fortunately, the human army in the city is currently small in number, and with Xiao Feng in charge of the Chinese army, even if the orc army attacks it, it will not cause much panic.
The location and shape of Napal Mountain City is actually very similar to that of Riverrun, built on the eastern side of the mountain range, but the direction is not due north and south.
Instead, the northeast and southwest sides are the main gates, the northeast side is facing the Napal prairie, and the southwest side is facing the gourd neck is the mountain road.
Therefore, when Xiao Feng deployed before, he mainly focused on these two directions, and arranged 10,000 people near the city wall facing the northeast.
There are 5,000 on the city wall, 5,000 in the cave under the city, 3,000 people are in reserve, and the other 5,000 people are guarding the new south gate, which is their back road, and it must be unblocked.
In addition, the eastern side of the city wall, next to the remnants of the mountains, was not too worried about someone attacking from this direction, so a thousand men were put on guard, and the west side was next to a large river.
After occupying this mountain city before, Xiao Feng once sent people to investigate the terrain smuggling here, and happened to find that a mountain range near it happened to become a watershed because of the terrain direction.
The mountain rivers to the southwest of the mountain all merge into the tributary of the upper source of the rushing river, and the mountain rivers to the north flow north along the left side of the Napal Hill City.
This river, with its rapid current, joins with other rivers flowing from the mouth of the mountain range to form a large river, which flows into the Napal Prairie, becoming one of the largest rivers in the Napal Prairie.
According to the local people, this big river is called the Mulun River, which also means the mother river.
Previously, because of this river, the flow speed was fast and the water was turbulent, considering that the orcs had no shipbuilding and boat management skills at all, Xiao Feng didn't pay much attention to the city defense here.
It's just that before the battle, a team of 1,000 men was sent to guard the city wall on this side, after all, if the enemy in the northeast can't make it, the direction of the river will have nothing to worry about.
But he didn't think that the enemy would attack from this direction, and he could feel the shaking of the ground on the city wall, as if the city wall had been dug up.
Xiao Feng knew that the orcs must have come prepared this time, and the enemy in the northeast had also begun to charge desperately at this time, so it would be unwise to fight a war of attrition in the defense of the city at this time, so he ordered Kyle to quickly lead his troops to retreat.
And he led a thousand men to the western wall to support the rescue, trying to bring more soldiers back.
Kyle had also planned for a retreat, and the orcs in the distance had already rushed to the blockade of the mines and fiery oil canisters they had laid earlier.
Although some mines were dug up by the mole people before, this is a mine blockade line up to 100 meters wide.
After the mole man dug up a few mines before, he quickly diverted to dig deep underground, and the mines and fire oil tanks behind him did not touch, and the orcs who rushed over at this time were killed and injured by these mines and fire oil tanks.
But it seems that these orcs also have a death order, although there are constantly mines exploding in front of them, and people are constantly being burned into human torches by fierce fire cans, they still charge forward without fear of death.
There were even a few orcs who had been lit into torches by the fierce oil canisters, and they simply went to the ground, rolled forward, and began to thunder the troops behind.
Kyle on the city wall shuddered, and when it came to being fierce and not afraid of death, these orcs really didn't build it.
Kyle immediately ordered the 5,000 soldiers in the cave under the city wall to start retreating to the southern city, but to ensure that the back road was clear, and the human defenders on the city wall began to set fire.
The fire oil poured on the city wall and on the ground in front of the city wall as if it didn't need money, but it was not in a hurry to ignite, and then the defenders on the wall began to retreat.
At this time, Xiao Feng had already rushed to the west side of the city wall with a team of 1,000 people, and sure enough, the junction of the west city wall and the city wall in the direction of the northeast gate had been dug up.
At this time, the orcs who came out of the ground were fighting fiercely with the human soldiers who rushed down from the city walls.
Xiao Feng also saw the appearance of those mole people clearly at this time, and his stature was not high, and he was a little taller than the dwarves on the human side.
The limbs were very strong and strong, and the most terrifying thing was the large teeth more than two feet long that came out of their mouths, which were still shining with cold light.
Wielding a very delicate sapper shovel in his hand, he fights with human soldiers in groups of three or five, don't look at these mole people who are short, but their combat effectiveness is not weak, and they are even very fierce.
Their battle group mode is very similar to the battle mode that Xiao Feng handed over to the human soldiers, if it weren't for the advantage of the spears in the hands of the human soldiers, the combat group of the human soldiers might not be able to beat these sturdy and flexible mole people.
At the same time, there were still some half-orcs burrowing out of the ground, and these guys were obviously following behind the mole people, expanding the tunnels, and the mole people were digging passages in front and widening them in the back.
Behind these drill beetles, there was a steady stream of relatively thin and flexible kobolds, werewolves coming out of the tunnel.
And the human soldiers guarding the city wall on the west side basically got off the city wall at this time, desperately blocking the gap here.
Thanks to Xiao Feng's repeated emphasis on the cultivation of middle and lower-level officers with Kyle before, this army in the era of cold weapons has maintained such a high level of cohesion, otherwise the ordinary army, seeing such a scene, I am afraid it would have collapsed a long time ago.
Under the command of those mid- and lower-ranking officers, the human soldiers fought in squads and squads, and at the gap, they stood and fought to the death with these orcs who were constantly burrowing out of the ground.
In addition, there are some human soldiers who stand on the gap in the broken city wall, and constantly shoot arrows at the orcs from top to bottom, which also causes a lot of damage to the orcs.
The white-knuckle battle has entered a white-hot stage from the beginning, and although the human army is small in number, because of the skilled combat formation, it will not fall behind in the slightest when it fights hard with these orcs.
A battle group of three or five people, divided according to the principle of the three-three system, can be said to have an advantage against the unorganized and scattered half-orc infantry in front.
In particular, the three-edged stabbing spear with a length of three meters and five is to give full play to the advantages of long weapons, and in such a battlefield, assassination is always more efficient than slashing.
After a while, the battlefield was full of orc blood gourds that had been stabbed to the ground by human soldiers.
The human army had the upper hand and kept pushing forward, and soon it had pushed the line of orc skirmishers to the line of the city walls.
But at this moment, suddenly a ticket half-orc came out of the water, and in the mode of landing on all fours, he quickly rushed to the gap in the city wall, and then rushed in and joined the half-orc straggler line.
These people are more than three meters tall, with triangular heads, short hands and short feet, and their bodies are like stakes, but they are amazingly powerful on the battlefield.
In his hand, he has a hammer or a long-handled axe, and his strength is amazing, because of his physical superiority, it is difficult for a human spear to have an advantage against them.
The most terrifying thing is their protection, which is already covered with a layer of iron armor, and the animal skin inside is even thicker, plus their skin itself will secrete a kind of mucus, making their skin very sticky.
Even if a human spear breaks through its armor, it will slide away the moment it stabs their skin, making it difficult to damage them.
On the other hand, these fierce orcs, once they rushed close to the human battle group, they would open and close and kill in a big way, and soon dozens of human soldiers fell under their butcher's knives.
And Xiao Feng also saw the appearance of these guys clearly at this time, it turned out to be crocodile people! amphibious warriors in the half-orcs, they must have attacked from the direction of the waterway.
And the mole people, drill beetles, werewolves, and kobolds who were defeated by the human spearmen battle group before, seemed to have found the backbone at this time, and quickly adjusted their formation, followed behind these crocodile people, and pounced on the humans again.
Xiao Feng's arrival at this time can be said to be just the right time, if the human front here is a moment late, it will definitely collapse.
Although he led the team to withdraw on Friday, but he had already trained several pilots before, at this time he stood in the shooting position of the JLTV, pulled the bolt of the M2, adjusted the muzzle of the gun to these orcs, and pulled the trigger.
'Knock knock'
The muffled roar of the M2 Browning heavy machine gun soon resounded across the battlefield.
And those half-orcs, who were fierce just now, immediately turned into little sheep, crocodile people with a body as thick as a stake, and in front of Browning's 12.7 mm caliber full-power heavy machine gun bullets, it was not enough to see at all.
When the arm is shot, the thick arm is instantly knocked away, and if there is a shot on the torso, either a basin-sized hole will appear, or it will be broken in two on the spot.
The scene of flesh and blood immediately covered the entire battlefield, and the silly crocodile people were immediately taught a hard lesson when they encountered the Reaper of Riverrun head-on for the first time.
And the kobolds and werewolves who had suffered losses under Xiao Feng's hands several times before were smarter at this time, bowing their heads and looking around for cover, or simply lying on the ground and starting to pretend to be dead...
