Perhaps because of the intersection of fire and ice, or perhaps because of the heat during this time, the water vapor in the sky began to become dense, and clouds began to appear and gather together, forming dark clouds that obscured the sky.

Then the torrential rain began to fall from the sky, densely enveloping the whole world, which caused the war to become more difficult, as the rain fell, the morale of the soldiers also began to decrease, and the exhaustion accumulated from the beginning of the battle to the present broke out in an instant.

As the intensity of the battle decreased, the casualties of the soldiers began to decrease, but both the Baltics and the natives of the Ural Mountains were gritting their teeth and holding on, and they were unwilling to take the lead in retreating under such circumstances.

From morning to noon to afternoon, all the soldiers began to go hungry, to such an extent that not only the body was in a state of hunger and exhaustion, but even the spirit was already tense to the limit.

"Collect our troops and let our men retreat. ”

Goliath glanced at the giants who were resting not far behind, and reluctantly gave such an order.

Even if the method of taking turns to rest, the high-intensity battle still makes these giants feel tired, they are not machines, they need to eat, need to drink, need to rest, need to go to the toilet, it is impossible to carry out such a high-intensity battle twenty-four hours a day.

Even machines could not afford to fight such a battle for such a long time, and the Baltic ballistas and catapults, which were produced in factories and made with excellent materials and skill, were also damaged and needed to be repaired before they could continue to be used.

The rhythmic sound of the horn broke through the rain curtain and reached the ears of every soldier, and then the orcs and gnolls who were fighting fiercely on the city walls began to slowly retreat, while the lizardmen were uncharacteristically frantically outputting and covering the retreat of their companions.

Golia's previous victories have already allowed her to successfully gain prestige, so that her orders are being carried out, at least superficially, and not like before, the people below are disobedient.

The lizardmen's frenzied rain of arrows made the Baltic unable to raise his head for a moment, and could only hold his shield to block, and the stone projectiles thrown by the giant once again drew the caster's attention.

Compared to the previous retreat that had turned into a collapse, this retreat was the real retreat, and the tribal chiefs beside Goliath all nodded.

They began to feel that they had made the right choice, and that having Golia as the commander of this time would indeed lead them to victory in this war, and that it would be a victory to drive out the invaders.

When the enemy began to retreat, the Baltics did not try to stop and pursue, on the one hand, after a day of fighting, they also felt very tired and had no strength to pursue, on the other hand, the previous defeat was caused by the pursuit, they did not want to repeat the mistakes of the past, and did not want to step into the trap of the other party again.

From the commander of the Sixth Legion to the most ordinary soldiers, they are no longer willing to taste the taste of defeat, they don't want to leave their lives on this land, they don't want to abandon their honor, and they return to their hometown in disgrace, being laughed at by their parents and fellow villagers.

After confirming that the enemy had retreated, and not the next wave of attacks through retreat, the Balts also began to clean up the battlefield, routinely killing the enemy's soldiers to help their companions.

They still used the previous method, piling up the corpses together, burning them with a fire, and the thick smoke with fat that burned made everyone who smelled it frown, especially when burning the corpses of trolls and ogres, even the bravest and most resolute soldiers turned pale and avoided from afar.

It is conceivable that when they eat tonight, those delicious and nutritious meals will become tasteless, after all, the smell that remains on their sense of taste and smell cannot be eliminated in a short time.

Compared to the slightly more relaxed soldiers, the middle and upper echelons of this army have become very nervous, without the slightest slackness, some of them have experienced the previous war, and some of them have just come to support this side as reinforcements.

But whether it is the former or the latter, they have begun to face up to these barbaric, primitive, bloody, ignorant natives of the Ural Mountains, who are not weak in the first place, and become even more powerful after being organized.

They originally thought it was just a group of sheep led by sheep, but what they didn't expect was that the other party was a group of lions led by a group of lions, and there was no comparison at all.

Or, they should be admired, it is indeed the race and soldiers who followed Attila to defeat the Attila Empire, and the madness and aggressiveness engraved in their bones are vividly reflected in the battle.

"If this kind of fight continues, it will be difficult for our side to hold on for a long time. ”

The herald said without scruples in front of the commander of the Sixth Legion, and although this sentence sounded very frustrating, it was indeed a lie without any water.

The logistics supply line has now been harassed and attacked by the other side for a long time, and soldiers are being damaged every day, and supplies are looted every day, and even if a large number of elite soldiers are invested to maintain the protection of the supply line, it will inevitably affect the battle situation.

The Imperial side has already decided that it will not give them too much support for this war, because it is impossible to train truly elite soldiers in too easy battles.

Of course, the Empire will not watch this army annihilated, in any case, this is the main army created by spending energy and money, and the Empire will definitely send real forces to save the situation at a critical time.

But by that time, whether it was the future of the generals or the honor of the soldiers, they had become worthless, dissipating into the air like clouds and smoke blown away by the wind.

The herald's words were echoed by several other high-ranking officials, all of whom had graduated from the Imperial Academy, and each of them had achieved a lot of results and had undergone rigorous examinations before becoming generals in the army.

There is no need to doubt the ability of these generals too much, they all clearly see the war they are fighting now, where their advantages and disadvantages are, and they all know how to maintain their advantages and cover up their weaknesses.

"The current situation is very different from the Attila Empire's attack on the Scandinavian Empire, because we, as invaders, invaders, have succeeded in establishing a strong camp here as a defender of the war. ”

"War is such a thing, most of the time, the attacker holds the initiative, unless the defending side has the bargaining chips to force the attacker to change from a protracted war to a quick war. ”

The intelligence officer added on the side, his eyes were bloodshot and there were rich black bags under his eyes, and it was obvious that she hadn't had a good rest for a long time.

Of course, he didn't have a good rest, if the first person responsible for the previous defeat was the commander of the Sixth Legion, then the second person responsible was him, he was responsible for the most important intelligence work, and he didn't find the trap set by the other party, so that the empire suffered such heavy losses.

"Hmm. ”

The commander of the Sixth Army nodded seriously, he was not a person who could not listen to the advice of his subordinates.

"So, I asked you to come over, just to discuss, how to fight tomorrow's battle, it is definitely not possible to continue to do this today, even if we kill ten things on the other side, the other side will send ten soldiers, this area is their homeland, and they will never lack such things as soldiers. ”

The Legion Commander thought of the orcs of the day, the orcs who were holding the weapons made by the Baltic people, wearing the armor made by the Baltic people, and making the Baltic people die.

"The troops of the half-giants have officially entered the battlefield, and tomorrow they will directly attack the orcs, the orcs are the first target, and the orcs who can carry out rage are more threatening than the jackals. ”

"By the way, why didn't we see the werewolves in this attack? Or did the other party have woken up and know that the werewolf race is not suitable for siege warfare?"

The Legion Commander questioned the Intelligence Officer.

"Well, there are two reasons, the first is because of the large number of werewolves killed in the last war, which caused the remaining werewolves to no longer trust Golia's tactics, and on the other hand, Golia's troops also need a race like werewolves who are proficient in hunting to hunt food for them and ensure the safety around the barracks. ”

The intelligence officer said.

"In addition, bed crossbows are also a problem, because ballistas and catapults are difficult to pose a threat to moving enemies due to their speed, and ogres and trolls are so fast that they can only rely on bed crossbows to attack them. ”

Today, using half-giants to deal with trolls and ogres has proven to be not a very cost-effective idea, and it is more effective to deal with these two types of enemies, or the crossbow arrows of the bed crossbow.

"This involves another aspect, the orcs charge too fast, they rely on the ladder to climb the wall at once, and engage in hand-to-hand combat with our warriors, in which case the soldiers have no way to operate the bed crossbow. ”

The herald had been to the front line of the battlefield when he was delivering the order today, and he had clearly seen how his army's bed crossbows had been paralyzed, and he had also not found any good solution to this problem.

The herald's question similarly stumped the other generals present, all of whom were lost in thought with their hands on their chests.

"How about letting our spellcasters create a moat in one night?"

One of the generals made his suggestion.

"Unrealistic, the other party also has a spellcaster, the moat we created in such a short period of time will be easily destroyed by the other party, don't forget everything they did before, they can directly use magic to bury and fill the moat. ”

Another general objected.

"The problem of the orcs must be solved, and having them climb the walls to engage in a hand-to-hand battle with our affairs will only cost me a large part of my advantage, and will increase the casualties of our soldiers. ”

The Legion Commander spoke his own opinion on the sidelines, and through this period of fighting, the orcs who had disappeared in the Northland for a long time did remind him of the second defensive battle of Scandinavia.

He recalls orcs and centaurs piling up corpses alive to form a slope, and then stepping on the corpse slope to charge at the Scandinavians on the city walls.

He was glad that if the opposing commander used such a method of siege regardless of losses, it would be difficult for him to find a solution to deal with it.

"What about the elves? Don't we still have elven sword dancers? What do you think of letting them be enemies of the orcs? ”

"No, if it's a one-on-one battle, the elves' fighting style is indeed able to defeat the orcs, but this is in the battlefield, and the strength of the individual will be weakened, and the elves will be used to contain those orcs, this method will not work. ”

A general's suggestion was rejected by the legion commander without hesitation, before he did invest the elven sword dancer to deal with the attack of the orcs, and caused great losses to the orcs, but the furious orcs before dying also caused a large number of elves to die.

Thinking of the loss of the battle elves, his heart was still aching faintly.

"Or there are too few Yeats in our army. ”

Some people couldn't help but sigh, the direct brutal battle between the Yeats and the orcs has now been written into the textbooks of the Baltic Empire, as long as the orcs are mentioned, they will think of the Yeats who can go berserk.

"It doesn't matter how many people there are, this is the Ural Mountains, the home of the opposite. ”

The herald lowered his head and rolled his eyes, at this time he was still fantasizing about these unrealistic things, and he didn't know how to say it.

"Why don't we just abandon the walls, and line up outside the walls to fight them? ”

"And then their cavalry can in turn crush our infantry phalanx, and then divide and surround our soldiers, and give up our greatest advantage, and then fight on the opponent's advantage?"

The legion commander endured it so that he didn't scold, he puffed out his eyes and glared hard at the person who had just said this.

"It is absolutely impossible for us to give up the city wall, this is a complete defense system, we need to rely on this defense system to fight, I have now thought of a way to deal with the orcs, tomorrow you will obey my orders, carry out my orders, carry out my orders. ”

"As long as they can't storm our walls, the problem of trolls and ogres is well solved. ”
