734 Wall of Sighs

The previous rout from Napal Mountain City to Qukai City almost made the battle-hardened general collapse.

In the past few years, he has been fighting too many tailwind battles with his master, and this time when the master is not there, he was beaten like this by the orcs, to be honest, it really makes him very sad.

If it weren't for the fact that there was Riverrun City at the end, I'm afraid their military morale would have collapsed by this time.

But after these ten days of tug-of-war, he has gradually stabilized his mind, worthy of the miracle left by his master, with such an air defense tower, those dragons have nothing to fear.

Even looking at the army of orcs in front of the city wall, he felt that there was nothing to be afraid of.

This time, even if the orcs didn't do their best, they sent at least half of the elite.

In the black oppressive camp in the distance, there are at least hundreds of thousands of troops, if it weren't for the unique terrain of Rushing City, which is really not suitable for launching an attack formation, I'm afraid that the orcs would rush up in one go.

Thinking of this, Kyle couldn't help but sigh and thank him in his heart, the good vision of the master's location back then was because he chose to build Riverflowing City here, so that the advantage of the orcs in strength could not be reflected.

And after a few days of hitting their heads under the city walls, the orcs also came up with a way to best reflect their superiority in strength.

That is the non-stop pig assault, wave after wave of 500 people of the phalanx, non-stop assault on the city wall, and the ultimate goal is to inflict a lot of casualties on the human soldiers, exhaust all the spirit of the human soldiers, and wait until the final decision.

So the attacks of the orcs, since yesterday, have hardly stopped.

Kill from morning to night, and then from night to morning.

The phalanx of five hundred people, the front is always the elephant man with rough skin and thick flesh, these guys are five or six meters tall, and the waist is more than two meters thick.

This time, however, they were given the drudgery of going under the walls and smashing the walls.

There is no way, the city wall is more than fifty meters high, which really makes the orcs desperate.

Usually dealing with a ten-meter-high city wall, they may still be able to find a way, but the city wall that is more than fifty meters high, even if the half-orc warriors are high, there is no way.

Even snake people and ape soldiers, who are good at climbing, can't do anything against the city wall.

Because the walls of Riverrun City are designed to be very chicken thieves, protrusions are designed in many places, and whenever they climb the wall, the cold arrows shot from which protrusions make them unable to guard against them.

Especially after the installation of those anti-aircraft towers on these walls, the defensive ability of these walls has been greatly increased.

In front of the city wall, more than two hundred meters away, the half-orcs pushed dozens of catapults, but in fact, they didn't want to push so close.

After all, with the strength of the half-orcs, their catapults were generally five or six hundred meters away, and they could already kill and injure the defenders on the walls of ordinary humans.

But in the face of Rushing City, that can't be done, this fortified city wall is more than 50 meters high, and where there is an air defense tower, it is even more than 70 meters high.

Far away, the stone projectiles fired by their catapults could not reach the top of the walls.

Therefore, they could only push down the catapult 200 meters away from the city wall, and even raised the foundation of the catapult more than ten meters higher in order to cause a lot of casualties to the defenders on the city wall.

No way, who let those damn humans build the walls that high!

Despite this, only half of the stone projectiles they fired each time could fly to the top of the city wall, and they couldn't say how much damage they could inflict.

As for imagining the idea of smashing down the walls with stone bullets like other human cities, the orcs had already given up on the idea after ten days of trying.

The walls of Riverrun City are simply a wall of sighs that make people despair!

According to the report brought back by the golden eagle people they sent out, the thickness of the wall was seven or eight meters, and it seemed that the lower part of the wall was made of countless huge stones, and the top was made of a strange building material.

How strong is it... Hey... The elephant man has been digging under the city wall for several days, but he has not been able to cut through even half a meter.

Of course, in order to capture this wall, the orcs also thought of countless other methods.

For example, it was airborne, but this time it didn't seem to work well.

These cunning humans built high anti-aircraft towers on the city walls, and those deadly rhubarb crossbows and spit-fire cannons were also arranged on the air defense towers.

Even if they use golden eagles and lead soldiers to parachute onto the city wall, they can't control the city wall at all, and the human soldiers will line up in a neat phalanx and stab all the half-orcs who have descended from the wall to death.

Because the walls are too high, the orcs besieging below can't provide any effective support to the orcs who have parachuted to the top of the wall.

And parachuting into the human city behind and attacking the city wall from behind the city wall is also not effective.

The urban areas of mankind have also become fortresses, with ten large air defense towers and countless small fortresses.

When orcs parachute into those cities, they are confronted with cold arrows from tunnels, walls, or bunkers, or knives stabbed in the back.

Not to mention attacking the human walls from behind, it is very difficult to get out of this city.

What's more, after humans have effective means of air defense, it is no longer as easy for orcs to play the game of airborne behind their backs.

Those large yellow crossbows, as well as the Spitfire Cannon, can cause severe damage to golden eagles in the air.

Golden eagles, which often carry orcs, are lit in the air, and some are killed by cold arrows from air defense towers when they descend to drop the orcs they are carrying.

So after losing hundreds of golden eagle men and tens of thousands of airborne orc soldiers, the half-orcs gave up this siege mode.

In the end, I chose this seemingly clumsy and slow, but the most effective way, that is, to fight with human beings!

After a period of confrontation, the orcs also understood that there should be about a million people in this human kingdom now.

Among them, there should be 200,000 soldiers, but only 100,000 of them can be called elite, and in the previous Napal Mountain City Sneak Attack Station and Qukai City Raid Battle.

They estimated that at least about 30,000 human elites had been killed and injured, so the remaining human combat power was only more than 100,000.

And now there are more than 300,000 orc troops crowded in front of the gate of Rushing City, and there are 200,000 reinforcements behind them, and there are countless logistics materials.

Therefore, after discussing with the senior generals of the orcs recently, they adopted this seemingly the most clumsy, but the most effective way, which is to fight with humans.

At the moment, it seems to be working very well, mainly because the human mage doesn't seem to be there.

So in recent times, their successive attacks have put a lot of pressure on the human defence.

The orc catapult roared and fired the giant stone towards the human wall, and just in front of their firing position, there were rows of python longbowmen, and they also launched giant arrowheads more than a meter long at the head of the human wall.

It's really thanks to the super flexibility of these giant pythons, otherwise other orcs wouldn't even want to shoot these giant arrows at the wall.

In the air, there are also dragons that appear and disappear on top of the heads of humans, and every now and then they will pounce on them to teach these damned humans a lesson.

Underneath the dragon are the wandering golden eagles and all sorts of birdmen, some with stones in their hands and others with bows and arrows, ready to swoop down at any moment.

Just from the north side, a team of bats, flying at a low altitude along the direction of the river, evaded the human sentinels, suddenly rushed to the top of the wall, and shot a round of arrows towards the human team on the city wall that was preparing to camp the enemy, causing dozens of casualties.

Because the arrows were quenched with poison, the wounded soldiers were basically dead.

However, this group of batmen was soon burned by the fire dragon shot from the air defense tower, and there were more than a dozen of them on the spot, and they were burned into roasted rats in the air.

The bats caused a riot at the top of the human wall, and the falcons in the air swooped down in the direction of the ridge, intending to pick up a bargain.

As soon as they rushed down, they were spotted by the observation post in Fort Anfu on the ridge, and they quickly crashed into the anti-aircraft tower composed of a rain of human arrows.

Scholar Charlesman, inspired by Xiao Feng, invented a powerful repeater, which played a very important role in the battle to defend the city wall.

Although the range is only fifty meters, if ten archers use it at the same time, it can fire a hundred crossbow arrows at a time.

For an airspace, it can be covered indiscriminately, which is a nightmare for these orcs who are good at air raids.

Because they can attack from the air, but in fact, their effective attack range is not large.

Only when they descend to a certain height can they exert precision strikes, but once they are lowered to a certain height, they also enter the range of human crossbowmen.

This makes their attack much less effective!

The battle between the two sides in front of the city wall soon became stalemate, and the five-hundred-man squad of half-orcs soon rushed to the bottom of the city wall, and the elephantmen lifted the stone skin to rush the cart, helped each other overhead, and then began to clumsily chisel the wall.

The human defenders on the top of the city wall operated catapults, large yellow crossbows, and the orc ranged troops in the distance began to shoot, and at the same time, from the top of the city wall, thick tree trunks poked out, and at the front of the trunks were arrow towers.

The human archers hid in the arrow towers and fired arrows at the orc phalanx below the city walls.

At the same time, in the fortress at the protruding part of the city wall, there will be archers who will constantly rain arrows downward.

And the orcs under the city walls, except for the elephant people who carved the wall, the other centaur archers will hide under the stone bark rushing cart and shoot at those human archers...
