Chapter 172: Bloody Offensive and Defensive Battle (2)

"Knock! knock!!"

The signal on behalf of the withdrawal of troops sounded, and the Demon Axe Tribe and the Star Bow Tribe finally chose to retreat, with more than a thousand casualties. However, when they retreated, they took with them the corpses of their own warriors.

Orcs are also a race that attaches great importance to funerals, so when the battle is over, the battlefield is still empty, except for the blood and arrows that can be seen everywhere.

However, when the bloodied guard returned to the city wall, the witch Lin's face was not good-looking. Although the orcs chose to retreat on their own initiative, everyone knew that the main reason for the orcs to retreat was nightfall, not the heroic Templars.

"The second line of defense is not going to be able to hold it after all. There's no need to go out tomorrow, just stick to the city. The wall under our feet is already our last line of defense!"

After that, the witch Lin asked her to fetch a blanket, but she did not intend to leave the city wall, but planned to stay on the city wall all the time. Seeing this, Mamoru who had returned from blood took a deep breath but didn't say anything. War is like that, everyone has to push themselves to the limit.

So after praying in the evening facing east, he ate hastily because he could not wash the blood on his body. In the end, he didn't take off the smelly armor on his body, and the whole person fell asleep on the battlements on the side.

......

"Kill, kill, kill!!"

The next morning, just after praying and having breakfast, the orcs from outside the city came again.

This time, it was the Hammer Falling Tribe and numerous small tribes that attacked. So much so that the orcs are now much more powerful than they were yesterday.

Standing on the city wall and looking at it, the orc legion at this time really gives people a sense of endless depression that spreads all over the mountains. And today, the orcs have finally used their massive siege engines.

For example, the ladders that allow orcs to climb the city walls, and the siege vehicles that look extremely heavy. It was pulled by four strong armored horns to move, and it was a tool used by orcs to break through the gates.

So the moment these orcs approached the range of the defenders, the rain of arrows and spears covered the orcs again. It's just how this can stop the huge orc army. As always, the Orc offensive was not greatly affected by this.

They made it to the foot of the city walls, roaring and attacking.

"Bang!"

A heavy, topped ladder with an iron hook was erected on the walls of Xiping Castle. Then the attacking orcs seemed to have been stimulated by something, and one by one they rushed up the ladder to rush upward.

But before the battle, Agoura, who was the patriarch of the Falling Hammer Tribe, made a promise to the warriors of his headquarters. As long as someone was the first to climb the walls of Xiping City, he rewarded that person with ten kilograms of gold.

Ten kilograms of gold, which is enough for an orc family to live without food and clothing for a lifetime. It's definitely a big reward.

And under the heavy reward, there will be brave men, and for such a large sum of money, there is no shortage of people who dare to risk their lives.

At this time, Dagui was one of the orc warriors who longed for this wealth. However, compared to the others, Dagui in front of him is stronger and smarter.

He longed for that great fortune, but he didn't climb the ladder to attack the city as his fellow companions did. So, he first found a huge shield, and then waited for the defenders on the city wall to tilt a pot of boiling dung water down one by one, and then forced himself to come to the ladder with the pungent smell.

Oh, I have to say. In some ways, war did give birth to "progress".

A few years ago, the human defenders had only used boiling water to fend off their enemies. But now, it has turned into boiling dung.

But Dagui, who was eager for a huge fortune, didn't think about it so much. He only knew that after the boiling gold juice prepared in advance was exhausted, the defenders would not be able to boil a new pot of boiling dung water for twenty or thirty minutes.

So he seized this opportunity and climbed up desperately. Although it was inevitable that the defenders would throw stones and sassalwood in the process, these things were obviously much less threatening than the pervasive boiling gold juice.

Therefore, after relying on the shield in his hand to resist such two attacks, Daguita roared angrily and exerted force with both feet. He jumped directly from the top of the ladder to the city wall of Xiping City.

"Haha, gold is my ......"

Before he could cheer, a heavy long-handled battle axe slashed directly at his head.

This is a weapon designed to deal with orcs, much like the Orcs' Giant Boom Crossbow, which is designed to deal with Wyvern Knights and Griffin Knights. Because the orcs are a race that specializes in forging metallurgy, orc warriors often wear heavy armor on their bodies.

Ordinary swords are really difficult to break through the heavy armor on the orcs, and even the standard weapons that have been blessed by Liang Tian are very difficult to defend themselves. Hence the emergence of heavy weapons such as tomahawks and hammers.

This heavy weapon smashed on the orc's body, even if it couldn't break through the heavy armor on the orc's body, it was enough to break the orc's tendons and fractures. But the Dagui in front of him is even more miserable.

The axe that struck him was not an ordinary Kingdom warrior, but a Templar who had been blessed twice. Dagui's head turned into a watermelon, red and white things flying around, and his ugly appearance was almost impossible to look at.

But the battle-hardened Templars didn't care. Therefore, after he slashed Dagui to death with an axe, he stepped forward and smashed the axe on the iron hook of the ladder.

The iron hook of the ladder that connected the city wall was cut in half. Then I saw that the defenders were working together, and the ladder on the city wall was directly pushed down.

"No, no!!"

There were still orc warriors on the ladder, but now they were smashed. Agoura, who was supervising the battle in the rear, frowned, and then turned his gaze to the siege vehicle. Obviously, he didn't have much hope for a siege method like a ladder.

So will the siege engine live up to Agoura's expectations? No, no.

As soon as Agoura turned his gaze in the direction of the siege engine, the huge and heavy siege vehicle was ignited by the defenders. The fuel was made of vegetable oil extracted from plants by witches, so the flames burned very violently.

Even some of the orc warriors next to the siege engine were not spared. They were also hit by a crockpot filled with vegetable oil and set on fire, turning the orc warriors into torches.

Piercing wails emanated from the mouths of these orc warriors, and the other orcs around them were frightened into running for dodge, and none of them dared to approach their compatriots.
