Chapter 171: Bloody Offensive and Defensive Battles

(Another chapter is out, sleepy, good night everyone?) )

......

"Roar!!"

The severe pain made the two-legged flying dragon under his crotch can't help but let out a wail, and Zhu Xiao tried his best to appease it. But in the face of those orcs who were busy winding the crossbow, they didn't dare to attack blindly anymore.

This time the orc's methods were indeed beyond his expectations, but he really didn't expect the orcs to be able to create such a powerful weapon. At a distance of three hundred meters, he could still pierce the defense of the bipedal wyvern's mouth under his crotch.

Therefore, looking down at those strong orc crossbowmen on the ground, Zhu Xiao couldn't help but smack his tongue secretly: "There is still such a great power at such a distance, if it is closer, I am afraid that the elite warriors wearing iron armor will be shot through." ”

He roared and ordered the other dragon knights and griffon knights to return with him. Then, worried about the injury of the wyvern under his crotch, he found several witches who accompanied the army as soon as he returned, and begged them to heal the two-legged wyvern of himself and his companions.

"Bear with your big mouth, bear with it!"

While pacifying, he pulled out the arrows stuck in the belly of the wyvern one by one. The young witch who had come to help immediately unleashed a healing spell on the wound. So I saw that the terrible wound healed quickly and quickly with a speed visible to the naked eye.

So the two-legged wyvern, which had been wailing, quickly calmed down. While Zhu Xiao on the side breathed a sigh of relief, he also had the energy to study the arrows that were shot by the orc crossbowmen.

"Damn, it's all armor-piercing. ”

scolded loudly, and Zhu Xiao understood. Everything today was all prepared by the orcs in advance. What's even more infuriating is that the orc's preparation is obviously effective. Now, the Wyvern Knight and the Griffin Knight can no longer be as careless as before.

"Hey!"

With a long sigh, he returned to the city wall with a heavy heart. Then they were surprised to find that the orcs had already completed their work of filling the river.

"It's those longboard cars, let's underestimate these orcs. ”

The guard on the side saw Zhu Xiao's puzzlement, so he casually explained to him. It turned out that after more than half of the river reclamation was completed, the orcs once again used their longboard carts, which were originally used to carry earth.

The special longboard cart, which was six or seven meters long, was directly used by the orcs as a simple bridge, and was directly erected on the moat when the river reclamation operation was halfway completed. In this way, the other half of the river reclamation operation was completed at once.

And in order to prevent these longboard cars from being burned, they are covered with a thick layer of soil. Therefore, Zhu Xiao looked over sharply and thought it was an assignment done with soil. After listening to the words, although I understood what was going on, my face did not improve in the slightest.

Instead, he turned his head to look at the witch Lin on the side and said, "The orcs have completed the filling of the river, and the soldiers will come to the city." But we can't just let them get close to the walls. Ma'am, it's time to send troops to defend the sheep and horses wall!"

The sheep and horse wall is a low earthen wall that surrounds 30 meters outside the city wall. Sandwiched between the moat and the wall, it was the second line of defense to protect the wall. Now that the orcs have completed the river reclamation, the next thing to do is to destroy the sheep and horse wall.

Therefore, those orc warriors who were born in large tribes and were heavily armed finally moved at this moment. Leading the way were the two tribes of Star Bow and Magic Axe, who still formed a solemn formation and brought all kinds of tools with them.

Obviously, the second line of defense was also destroyed in one fell swoop. Therefore, after listening to Zhu Xiao's suggestion, Wu Lin, as the commander, did not hesitate to take action.

A full 2,500 Templars left the city under the personal leadership of Shou and came behind the sheep and horse wall. Prepare for a bloody battle with the orcs on this face-to-face!

Then ask for kindness and get kindness. With the sound of drums and horns, thousands of orc warriors pressed up, and a fierce and bloody white-knuckle battle began.

"For the sake of my lord!!"

"For the !! of the Tribe"

The roars of both sides can be described as earth-shattering and deafening. The sound is so loud that you can't help but plug your ears. But no one would do that at this time, because all their attention was drawn to the fierce battle in front of them.

Thousands of orc warriors poured in like a tidal wave. They crossed the moat, which had been filled, and threw spears against the rain of arrows from the walls. Then he rushed to the low sheep and horse wall that was just up to his chest, and waved his weapon to directly dismantle the obstructive thing in front of him.

Unfortunately, the Templars on the other side of the wall weren't going to let them do that. The heavy tomahawk slashed directly at the orc's head and body.

"Puff~~"

In an instant, flesh and blood splattered, and blood flowed sideways.

"Kill, kill these humans!"

The death of his compatriots angered the attacking orc warriors. Some strong people jumped up at this time and climbed directly over the sheep and horse wall. The battle became more intense, and in addition to the attacking orc warriors, the Templars eventually saw some fall.

However, the Templars were superior defenders, and their individual strength far surpassed that of the average orc warrior. Therefore, the ratio of casualties on both sides was almost five to one at this time. The Templars had a huge advantage in this regard.

It's just that the number of orc armies that came to attack was too much. With the full efforts of the Demon Axe Tribe and the Star Bow Tribe, the number of orc armies thrown into the battlefield reached 15,000 people.

With such a large force base, even if the battle loss ratio of the two sides is five to one, the attacking orc legion has an advantage.

So, when the two sides fought until sunset. At the cost of thousands of deaths, the attacking orcs finally tore through one gap after another in the low sheep and horse wall defense.

"Hold on to the Templars, for my lord!"

Shou roared angrily, and finally joined the chaotic battle himself. If it were noon, Shou would definitely have ordered a retreat. But the sun was about to set, and night was about to cover the land. Shou was determined to hold on so that he could repel the enemy.

Therefore, at this moment, the guard was also the first to block a gap in the sheep and horse wall that was broken by the orcs, but all the orc warriors who wanted to use this gap as a breakthrough were mercilessly killed by the guard with the long sword in his hand.

In this way, it does boost morale. So, even though the sun had completely set, the precarious second line of defense held on.

"Hey, what a crazy opponent!" Davout, as the commander-in-chief, couldn't help but sigh, "Forget it, there's no need to fight with them for a while." It's already dark, withdraw your troops. ”
