543 Counter attack by water
Originally, he just wanted to maximize the damage to the orcs, but he didn't expect that the final effect would be so good, and the orcs actually blew up the camp.
This made Xiao Feng happy enough, in the era of cold weapons, once the Chinese army collapsed, it would be equivalent to a big defeat.
And once there is no effective command, then in the process of retreating and fleeing, the death of a self-trampled or accidental soldier will be far greater than the damage caused by the enemy.
The human conductor on the city wall in the distance obviously also noticed the phenomenon of the orc camp breaking up, and a burst of drums and trumpets immediately sounded on the city wall.
Then, after a while, Xiao Feng saw several large ships of Yingzhou people, rushing up the river and rushing towards the direction of the half-orc camp.
These ships of the Yingzhou people are not the same as the previous sail power, there are no high masts, all of them are driven by the propeller power behind them, although they are going upstream, but the speed is not slow at all.
Xiao Feng had been back and forth to the other world several times before, and he had discovered the role of the Yingzhou people's naval army more and more, so he had purchased marine engines many times before.
A total of hundreds of marine engines and diesel engines have been brought in, and a kind of oil hybridized with soybeans in this world can be directly used as power oil.
Therefore, the people of Yingzhou used this diesel engine to modify many ships.
This time, the orcs besieged Riverrun, and the gate facing the north of Riverrun City was almost completely blocked from the inside, but it still retained the means of mobile counterattack.
This means is the Yingzhou Water Army that stops in the rushing river on the west side of the mountain city!
At this time, the commander on the city wall saw that Xiao Feng drove a helicopter alone to make the camp of the half-orcs, and it would be stupid if he didn't know how to go out of the city to beat the water dogs.
Because of the need for domestic water, this half-orc camp was naturally built on the water, right next to the Rushing River.
Therefore, the Yingzhou warship stopped not far in front of the half-orc camp, and then long oak planks stretched out from the ship and landed on the ground, forming a series of proposed bridges.
Groups of cavalry, riding war horses, directly stepped on these planks and roared down, and rushed directly into the camp of the orcs.
Although the front part of the half-orc camp has been messed up by Xiao Feng, and many half-orcs have fled backwards, after all, with such a large camp, there must be a lot of fish that have slipped through the net and are still hiding in the camp.
And these guys became the results of these cavalry, those who dared to resist were directly killed on the spot, and those who knelt and surrendered were directly captured and captured.
In addition, they can take as much grain and grass as they can, and if they can't take it, they will simply burn it.
Soon this half-orc camp will be full of wolf smoke, and even if the half-orcs return in the future, this camp will need to be renovated.
At this time, Xiao Feng was like a shepherd in the air, relying on rockets to drive away the half-orcs on the ground, and watched these half-orcs flee all the way to the north.
When they converged into a huge stream of people, he fired rockets at the densest part of the crowd, causing panic and chaos.
When the half-orc was frightened, he scurried around to avoid the death scythe above his head, and naturally trampled on and injured a lot of his own people, and after a lot of casualties, the formation dispersed, and he stopped.
But the inertia of animal instinct will make these half-orcs who are not very smart always like to follow the head man, so they will gather together again as they run.
At this time, Xiao Feng will launch rockets at the most densely populated places, creating panic and chaos.
The cycle went on and on, stopping all the way, until the orcs rushed into the large camp behind them, and Xiao Feng stopped the pursuit.
It's not that he really doesn't want to chase down, but because the plane has run out of fuel and ammunition, and it really can't be pursued.
There was another black shark in his space, and Xiao Feng had also thought about taking out that one as well, and continued to put pressure on the orcs.
But after a glance at the No. 2 battalion from the air, he gave up this plan.
The location of this large camp is somewhat peculiar, it is built on the slope of the mountain, and there is a small flat camp at the foot of the mountain next to the rushing river.
The goal here is very clear, they all live in tents, while most of the other orcs live in wooden huts built on the hillside and under the woods, and some simply dig holes in the ground and live in burrows, which are supposed to be camps built by burrowing animals.
Xiao Feng remembered the mole half-orcs and drill beetles and half-orcs he had seen before, such a camp would not be easy to handle.
The helicopter will not kill them too much, and he is a waste of shells, plus he has been flying for more than six hours at this time, and he is already tired, so he simply pulls the control stick and goes back to Running River City first.
The nearest orc camp to Riverrun has been breached, and the most direct threat to Riverrun has been removed, and today's battle is a complete victory.
The human cavalry who came to pick peaches along the rushing river also achieved very fruitful results in the half-orc camp in front of them at this time.
Countless kinds of armor and materials were robbed, and the most important thing was that they also captured 10,000 prisoners, and at this time they were escorting these orc captives onto the ship.
Xiao Feng hovered above them for a while, covering them to board the ship, but fortunately, at this time, many more boats came from the direction of Riverrun.
These ships were transports, without engines, and were powered by sails and oars, and were suitable for transporting these orc captives.
And the half-orc No. 2 camp in the distance naturally saw such a scene, but they didn't dare to send someone to rescue them, so they could only watch helplessly from a distance.
The big shark in the air hovering over the heads of the human cavalry and the fleet was really terrifying, it was simply their nightmare, a large battalion of tens of thousands of people, was destroyed by such an artifact, and the orcs were extremely afraid of this artifact.
If this big shark in the air doesn't retreat for a day, they don't dare to move forward even half a step, not to mention that they were frightened by this artifact just now?
Finally, the last group of cavalry also boarded the warship, and then went down the river back to Rushing City, and Xiao Feng drove the helicopter back to Rushing City.
Just descended from the sky, Birodis and Kayla rushed up, today's battle was commanded by the two of them, if it wasn't for Xiao Feng's return to help in the end, they really didn't know the bottom of their hearts.
Now that their gods have finally returned, the tense strings in their hearts have finally relaxed.
Xiao Feng simply comforted the two of them, and didn't have time to be affectionate with their children, and then immediately asked them to call all the army commanders in Rushing City to a meeting.
Kyle, Bloom and when they were training the army before, they also promoted many officers from those who followed Xiao Feng at the earliest.
These officers are currently Xiao Feng's iron loyalists and are the key to his control of the army.
"How many more rhubarb ballistas do we have?"
After watching the attack mode of the half-orc airborne troops today, Xiao Feng suddenly thought of a loophole in the city defense when he was returning to the city.
What if those golden eagle people, vultures, transported a part of the airborne troops of the orcs, bypassed the city walls, and sent these airborne troops to land behind the walls?
A large number of orcs slaughtered directly into the rushing city from behind, wantonly slaughtering and creating chaos, and at the same time detached a group of people to attack from behind the city walls.
At the same time, the orcs in front of the city wall also attacked at the same time, so how should the defenders on the city wall respond?
In fact, Xiao Feng had also thought about such a problem before, but he forgot it when he came back because he was busy with business, and Charlesman gave advice at that time.
It's very simple, follow the direction of the city wall, build a circle of city walls inside the city wall, and form a castle.
In this way, even if the enemy attacked from behind, he could not easily break through the city defenses, and as for the residents of the cities behind, they were naturally abandoned.
Anyway, as long as the walls are still in the hands of humans and the orcs are not allowed to attack them, it will be considered a victory.
At that time, Xiao Feng also agreed with Charlesman's idea, but later, because the battle line went forward and captured the gourd gorge, there was no threat on the side of Riverrun, and coupled with the lack of manpower, the implementation of the plan to build a castle along the southern end of the city wall was delayed.
And today, after seeing the airborne combat mode of the half-orcs, Xiao Feng suddenly remembered the loophole in this city defense.
"Master Qiyu, at present, we have one hundred and fifty rhubarb ballista carts on the city wall, and there are two hundred in the warehouse, which can be replaced. ”
Dean, who has now become the director of logistics weapons, stood up and answered Xiao Feng's question at this time.
On the front city wall of more than 100 meters, one hundred and fifty large yellow ballista artillery trucks were arranged, and the density of firepower was quite good, Xiao Feng was very satisfied.
He nodded at Dean: "Very good, pull out those ballista carts and arrange them behind the city wall, Dean has been working hard recently, organize more people to build some high watchtowers, prevent those golden eagle people, and vulture people, from the city wall to implement airborne, and organize manpower, 24 hours to monitor the air, once you find that there are golden eagle people to carry out airborne, immediately sound the alarm... ”
None of the people present were stupid, and when they heard Xiao Feng say this, they immediately understood where the loopholes in the city defense were.
Dean immediately organized his men to follow Xiao Feng's instructions, and at the same time instructed his dwarves to work overtime in the workshop to build as many rhubarb ballistas possible.
At the moment this is their only weapon suitable for air defense!
Fortunately, this time they captured more than 10,000 orc captives, and these guys will provide a steady stream of labor for their workshop.
With the city's defenses in place, Birodis and Kayla finally had a chance to speak.
"My lord, how is the situation over there in the gourd gorge? Do you have any plans to retreat from the enemy now?"
They also learned a little about the situation in the Hulu Gorge through the way of flying pigeons, so they were very worried about the current situation.
