Chapter Seventy-Three: The Battle to the Death at the City Gate
The former military city was instantly transformed into a huge furnace, and almost everywhere in the city was burning.
The orcs who rushed in to put out the fire were soon saddened to find themselves surrounded by flames.
Fire and water are ruthless, and there is nowhere to hide in the flames, because the coal fire continues to scorch, even the stone buildings are roasted red, and the orcs hiding in it will soon be roasted into jerky.
One by one, the orcs struggled and rolled in the flames, and soon their bodies burned and became part of the flame fuel.
The tunnels that had been dug up earlier became one of the few places where they could hide from the flames, and the orcs who were close jumped into the tunnels.
Although these orcs dodged the flames, they still couldn't hide from death. The flames burned out of nearby oxygen and produced large amounts of toxic fumes that could be equally deadly when inhaled.
Orcs above the warrior level can barely resist the flames by virtue of their fighting spirit, but as long as they are in the flames for a little longer, the nearly 1,000-degree heat brought by the continuous burning of the flames can also dry the orc warriors.
Warriors and even hero-level orcs shot one after another, blasting into the sea of fire with their fighting spirit.
The explosive fighting spirit blasted the burning coal away, and it could only clean up a place in front of him that was not on fire, but it could not completely extinguish the flames. What's more, almost the entire city is burning, and how much fighting energy can be used to extinguish the fire among the few orc heroes and warriors?
Looking at the orc warriors struggling in the flames, Chiligu almost wanted to cry without tears, how could a good game of chess suddenly reverse and lose the whole game?
There's no time left for Chiligu to reflect, and if you stay in the city for a second longer, you don't know how many orc warriors have died?
"I'll clear the way myself, and I'll rush out with me!" Chilligu's massive roar echoed through the sea of fire, reaching the ears of every orc alive.
Outside the former military city, Prince Hobbes stood in the air, squinting at the red-burning city in front of him and smiling, "These little guys are really amazing!"
One after another violent fighting qi continued to explode in the former military city, and each fighting qi exploded in the city with a fireless belt more than ten meters wide and dozens of meters long, which quickly extended towards the city gate.
Naturally, such a big movement of Chiligu fell into the eyes of Prince Hobbes, "If you want to leave now, how can it be so easy? Command the whole army to attack the city with all your might! The former military city is the burial place of the orcs today!"
Prince Hobbes gave an order, and the originally calm camp of the Wind and Snow Legion instantly boiled, and the hoplites rushed forward to the military city in a neat line with heavy shields and spears.
The mission of this siege was to block the orcs in the former military city, so it was the heavy infantry that took the lead. The light infantry regiment is on the left and right flanks of the heavy infantry, and is responsible for the output and damage of the attack, and relieves the impact intensity of the orc troops on the heavy infantry.
The thunderous sound of horses' hooves sounded from the military camps on the left and right, and the Terran cavalry troops roared out. The cavalry units detoured to the left and right of the front military city, and they would be the second line of attack after the infantry, responsible for attacking the orc forces that penetrated the infantry.
It's no wonder that Gori, who is familiar with the inside story, privately scolded Prince Hobbes for the old fox, he had already calculated the reaction of the orcs after the fire, and made arrangements for the troops in advance, waiting for the final blow.
Chiligu had already led his troops to the city gates, and Prince Hobbes had already reached him before he could rush out of the city.
Prince Hobbes held an ancient long sword seven or eight zhang long, although this sword was a thing of vindictive condensation, it was already like a substance, and even the patterns on the sword body were clearly visible.
Hobbes slashed down with a volley of his sword, taking Chiligu and the orc warriors behind him.
"Old horseman, you dare!" Chiligu roared, directly summoning a black lion totem and swooping into the air.
Hobbes's sword momentum remained unchanged, and it was still a sword slash.
The black male lion did not dare to collide with the condensed long sword head-on, so he dodged away from the blade and directly pounced on Hobbes, who was holding the sword.
Hobbes flickered to the side of the black lion, and the long sword in his hand slashed into the air again.
The black male lion didn't want to dodge anymore, and raised a sharp claw to grab at the sword.
The sword and claw collided without making a sound, and the long sword seemed to swing through the air at will, and the half of the sharp claw that the lion poked out was gone.
The power of the totem is activated, and although the broken claws grow again, the power of the consumed totem can no longer be recovered.
After this sword, Chiligu never dared to touch Prince Hobbes's sword again.
Chiligu had already consumed a lot of money in the previous battle with Keno, and then he had spent a lot of fighting energy to open the way, and now he was restrained by the long sword, so he was firmly suppressed as soon as he fought with Prince Hobbes, and was almost killed by Hobbes in two hits.
"General, I'm here to help you!" A totem beast with a saber-toothed tiger head and a human body flew into the air, it was the tiger god totem beast that had fought with Kino before, and it was fighting Hobbes together with Chiligu.
"It's not your orc's style to fight more and less!" said Keno and returned, joining the warband again.
With the addition of Keno, one after another orc heroes and Terran generals joined the battle.
On the Terran side, with Joshua and the commanders of several other armies, the number of generals and warriors dispatched suddenly reached six.
On the orc side, because he was killed by Hobbes and seriously injured by Keno in the previous battle, this time there are only five orc heroes, including Yuan Lao Mo, who was injured again.
In terms of top-level combat power, the Terrans have a clear advantage, not to mention the two super powerful existences of Hobbs and Keno, and the orc heroes led by Chiligu can only support it.
When the top combat power of the two sides fought together, under the sky, the soldiers of the two clans were also fighting with their lives.
The orc troops who were desperately rushing out from inside the city and the Terran troops who were desperately blocking collided head-on outside the city gate, and a tragic battle began in an instant.
The large shields of the first row of Terran soldiers were raised high, and the shields were held up by their shoulders, bearing the impact of the orcs with the strength of their whole body.
The spears of the soldiers in the second row poked through the gaps in their shields, stabbing the orc warriors who pounced on them.
The orc soldiers faced the dense fire of Terran spearmen, and the orcs in the front row had to be stabbed several times by the Terran spearmen at the same time every time they attacked. Even so, it still couldn't stop the desperate onslaught of the orcs, and the orcs frantically swung the weapons in their hands, and some of the huge orc warriors even directly grabbed the barrel of the gun that pierced into their bodies and dragged the Terran soldiers out of the queue.
A platoon of Terran soldiers fell, and the warriors behind immediately made up for it.
A row of orcs fell, and the orcs behind were pushed and pounced.
The blades intersected, the bodies collided, and on this battlefield, every soldier of the two clans was enthusiastic, as if he had forgotten life and death, and only knew how to charge forward, and only knew that the weapon in his hand was stabbed forward mechanically.
On this battlefield, cowards and cowards die faster, and those who are not afraid of death are desperate to fight for more life.
Although the Terran soldiers fought bravely, under the powerful individual combat power of the orc warriors and the desperate fighting spirit inspired by the flames in the city, the Terran hoplite phalanx was still constantly squeezed back by the orcs, and more and more orcs rushed out of the city.
The Terran infantry formation could be completely overwhelmed at any time......
