Although the strength of these mercenaries and guards is not as good as that of the regular army, they are much stronger than ordinary people, and Su Lun doesn't want to fight on the front line by himself, so this group of mercenaries and guards is making trouble in the north of the town.

Su Lun has never overestimated the discipline of mercenaries and caravan guards, you must know that in this era, it is very dangerous to trade in the wilderness, especially in the Northland Wasteland, when it is in the city or within the city limits, these people are the same as normal merchants, but in the wilderness, they are the law of the jungle.

It was not uncommon for the merchant guards and mercenaries to go directly to rob other caravans. These people are caravans when they enter the city, and robbers when they leave the city, unless they are directly caught, otherwise they can't tell the difference.

And there are a lot of crazy things in Sulun's city, such as the secret recipe of sugar, such as the rum brewing process, such as the papermaking process, etc., any of these techniques are worth ten thousand gold, as long as you learn a way to eat and drink in this life, it is not impossible to even change a title.

From the first day after these people came to Zhenbei City, they wanted to steal these techniques, not to mention, only last month Chrissy caught those who wanted to steal the skills There are more than a dozen, an average of one every two days, as for the final fate of these people, it is actually very good.

Alex told Suren that the low-level Harpy wanted some materials, and with a wave of his hand, Suren handed these people over to Alex and sent them to the Eagle Castle to enjoy the blessings.

There are now more than 3,000 harpys in the Eagle Castle, and except for the harpy and the harpy leader, the other harpies are still unable to escape the control of instinct. People who dare to come to Zhenbei City to steal technology basically have two brushes, and their strength is not bad, and many of them are knight-level.

This is good news for the harpy, twenty-four hours a day, these people are even eating by the harpy, twenty-four hours a day, all the time, have been working hard, these people can be said to enjoy the feeling of a royal maiden three thousand directly ascending to heaven.

Once the orcs attack Zhenbei City, the City Lord's Mansion will definitely allocate manpower, and the protection will naturally be a little lax at that time, Su Lun will not think that those merchants will scruple to resist the attack of the orcs and let go of such a good opportunity, they will definitely take this opportunity to make a move. Suren never overestimated human nature.

The cheapest and most precious thing in the world is human nature, and the most untested thing is human nature.

......

Blackstone Fortress.

The war has been going on for three days, and the orc army has sent a large number of servant troops to fight, using these servant armies to consume human rolling wood and stones and bows and arrows, and the high-intensity war has made the consumption of the Blackstone Fortress very large, and the blackstone fortress has been repaired as a military town The city wall repair is not bad, and the orc army has not taken advantage.

On the fourth day of the war, before dawn, the orcs slowly approached the city wall with several huge siege engines.

The siege tower is a simple small building made of wooden towers, and then the orc soldiers can enter from the bottom of the siege tower, and then step up the stairs. Protected by wooden planks along the way, you won't be hit by the enemy. At the top of the stairs is the exit of the siege tower, which is level with the height of the city wall, and after stepping out, you can immediately step on the city wall and start a white-knuckle battle with the enemy.

This siege machine is very crudely made, but the effect is not bad. These siege machines were built by cutting wood after the orcs arrived here, and although they are a great tool for engineering, they also have a significant disadvantage, that is, their slow movement speed.

The siege equipment made by the orcs is relatively rough and heavy because of the process problems, if it is an ordinary human, it is difficult to push these siege equipment forward, but it is just right for the orcs.

In addition to these siege towers, the orcs also prepared some ladders and carts, and these siege equipment were pushed by the orc soldiers to keep approaching the city walls.

The defenders and generals of the Blackstone Fortress had solemn faces, and after seeing these siege machines approaching, they began to order the archers to throw rockets, rockets are still very threatening to these siege equipment, and after applying fire oil, the rocket's ignition ability is still good. In particular, the siege equipment made by the orcs did not have many fire prevention measures.

After the bow and arrow hit the siege tower, the fire oil attached to the wooden plank, and soon the flames ignited, although the orcs did not ignore it, quickly advanced, at the same time, those orc archers standing on the siege tower also began to shoot arrows, and the archers on both sides began to fight, and for a time both sides suffered heavy casualties.

Then the cover of the archers, these siege equipment quickly approached the city wall, and the fastest rushing cars were about to rush to the city gate, at this time, a basin-sized fireball suddenly flew out of the city wall, and the fireball dragged a long tail and flew directly towards the rushing car.

"Boom!"

An explosion came, and the entire rushing car and more than a dozen orc soldiers were instantly surrounded by flames, and the wooden rushing car was directly blown apart under this force, and more than a dozen orcs were also lit into torches.

"Wizard, wizard, we have a wizard!" cheered on the city wall, and the morale of the human soldiers instantly soared.

On the city wall, a middle-aged man in a red robe waved his staff, and soon another fireball flew out, this time directly towards a tall siege tower. The siege tower, which was more than 20 meters high, could not dodge at all, and was hit by fireballs in an instant.

The siege tower, which had resisted a large number of rockets and was not burned, exploded, the orc archers on the siege tower were blown out, the tall siege tower was directly broken into two from the middle, and many of the orcs below were directly hit by the burning wood, and the flames instantly shrouded the siege tower. The orc soldiers who did not escape from it were burned alive by the flames.

This wizard did not shoot again after casting a few fireball spells to destroy most of the siege equipment, this wizard is only a mid-level wizard, there are only a few wizards in the Blackstone Fortress, the wizards will not consume all their magic power, just now they shot more to boost morale.

Although many of the siege towers were destroyed, the orcs soon reintroduced some new siege equipment, and this time the wizards did not continue to strike, and a bed crossbow on the city wall spread its bowstring, and a tooth-aching bowstring sounded, and a soldier next to him put a spear on it, and then ignited it with fire oil.

"Collapse!"

With a buzzing sound, a spear more than three meters long flew out in an instant, the spear directly penetrated an orc, and then nailed it to the siege vehicle, the heavy siege vehicle shook back and forth a few times, and the flames on the spear ignited the siege vehicle.

"Crash!"

The sound of bowstrings on the city wall sounded continuously, spears flew out, corpses were everywhere where the spears passed, and the orc soldiers who were directly hit were directly hit by a blood hole the size of a bowl, and some of the closest ones were directly pierced into sugar gourds.

However, the accuracy of the bed crossbow is limited, the rate of fire is also slow, and there are still many siege equipment close to the city wall.

The knights of five hundred men lined up quietly behind the gate, all of them wearing iron armor and holding sharp blades, and the knights of five hundred stood quietly behind the city gate waiting for the gate to open.

A passionate horn sounded, the gate of the Blackstone Fortress was slowly opened, and the knights who had already prepared immediately launched a charge, and the five hundred knights launched in an instant, like the sound of horses' hooves like thunder sounded on the battlefield, and the knights in full armor instantly rushed out of the city gate, and then rushed directly to the orc's engineering equipment.

The orcs didn't expect that the humans would actually open the city gate to attack, and they might as well be directly scattered by the human knights, and the infantry was completely slaughtered in the face of the heavy cavalry in the charge. Even the orcs were cut down like grass wherever the Order passed.

With only two charges, the orc strikers were scattered, and seeing the orc soldiers fleeing in disarray, these knights did not continue to pursue, but lit the fire oil they carried with them and threw them on top of the siege equipment, dozens of siege engines were quickly ignited, and after igniting these siege equipment, a dull horn sounded, and all the knights turned their horses back into the city, and as the last knight entered, the gate closed again.

The battle was still not over, and the orcs did not choose to retreat after losing a large number of siege equipment, but once again deployed two or three thousand soldiers to carry ladders to participate in the siege.

Count Louis, the defender of the Blackstone Fortress, had a heavy face: "These damn orcs want to take us down in one go, and they are not afraid of being broken out of their teeth!"

The archers frantically pulled the bowstring, many of them because of the long stretch of the bow arms became extremely sore, and many archers fingers have been cut by the bowstring, the overwhelming rain of arrows fell from the sky, these arrow rain did not make those orcs afraid, the orc soldiers held a shoddy wooden shield, many wooden shields did not even peel off the bark, forced to carry the rain of arrows to the city wall attack.

A large number of orcs regardless of the impact of casualties, soon there was a ladder on the city wall, the orc soldiers behind rushed up with an acceleration, climbed to the city wall in three times and two times, and then stabbed down with a shot from the soldiers who were waiting, and several soldiers next to him cut off the hook of the ladder, and then pushed the ladder down, and the two orc soldiers who had climbed half of the ladder fell directly from mid-air.

After a few jumps, a tall orc jumped up the city wall from the ladder, swept the giant axe in his hand, and directly cut the soldiers who rushed up into two with weapons, and then stubbornly guarded this city wall to let more orcs climb up, and after a while, five orcs came up here.

These orcs, led by the orc, defeated the surrounding human soldiers one after another, and seeing this situation, several knights immediately rushed forward with people. 1603468764
