Chapter 126: A dilemma
"Damn, why is this happening!?"
Before long, Lynn the Witch led thousands of Templars and Tribal warriors to the slaughter.
But at this moment, all they had in front of them were the closed gates and the hundreds of orc warriors on the city walls. The plan for the raid was a complete failure, and now if you want to conquer this orc city, you can only come hard.
But looking at the two-zhang high wall of the Fire Blade City made of stone, a feeling of powerlessness can't help but swell up in my heart.
"Such a fortified city, if it is attacked, how many people will be lost!"
Lynn the witch couldn't imagine. But it is clear that a strong attack is not possible. Over the years, the Templars and Tribal warriors had grown to just over 7,000, and each of them had a precious life, but they could not afford to lose it.
"So, what am I going to do now?"
Witch Lin couldn't help but fall into a tangle and a daze, completely unsure of what to do.
"Ma'am, why don't you try to lure these orcs out of the city?"
Mamoru as the leader of the Templars made such a suggestion. Compared to attacking the orc fortified city, luring the orc warriors in the city, and then fighting with these orc warriors in the field is undoubtedly more likely to win.
"But what are we going to do to lure out the orc warriors from the city inside?"
Witch Lin asked, causing the guard on the side to frown. The orc warriors of the Fireblade tribe are not idiots, and after the failure of the two large-scale crusades, the Fireblade City side finally did not dare to despise humans, especially these humans from the far east outside the city.
Therefore, under the protection of a group of guards and the old shaman of the tribe, after walking quickly to the city wall, Chihu, who is the patriarch of the Fireblade Tribe, also ordered: "These humans are not easy to deal with, and the most important thing now is to hold on to the city."
Then, now give me a call for help from the Starbow tribe in the south and the Demon Axe tribe in the north. It is said that the army of men from the far east has been killed. Our fire blade is the closest to them, and our fire blade is going to fall, and the two of them will be unlucky. ”
"Yes, Grand Patriarch. I'll arrange it now. ”
The newly appointed sheriff of the city hurried to take the order. Because of the original relationship with the slave uprising in the gladiatorial arena, he has been dismissed by the Red Tiger.
It's just that the words of the new city magistrate can't make Chihu feel better at this moment, looking at the thousands of Templars and tribal warriors outside the city, Chihu's brows are still furrowed, and his mood is very depressed.
"I have to admit that the time they chose to fight back against these humans from the far east in front of them is really good. The damn civil war of the Strongshield Tribe has made it impossible for the major tribes to unite at all. This time, it's really going to be a problem for the Fireblade Tribe!"
Thinking like this in his heart, Chihu's brows were about to wrinkle into a mountain.
Then seeing that those human warriors outside the city came to challenge him and his tribe with extreme arrogance, the red tiger who was originally frowning took the opportunity to snort coldly and showed a disdainful smile.
"Well, the Great Patriarch. The enemy has already invaded the city and is arrogantly challenging us, why are you laughing?" the new sheriff on the side asked in a loud voice as if puzzled.
Chihu couldn't help but glance at him, secretly feeling that the other party was sensible, and then deliberately pulled his throat and replied loudly: "I think these humans outside the city are very stupid. If you think about it, the reason why they were able to come to the city so suddenly was because they bypassed all our towns on the road and came deep alone.
The purpose must be to catch us off guard, so as to take the opportunity to seize our city. But under the protection of the great ancestral spirits, we managed to see through their plot at a critical moment.
Their plan did not succeed, so this seemingly arrogant challenge is in fact an attempt to provoke us after there is nothing else to do. As long as we stabilize our breath and stick to the city, then when the reinforcements from the periphery arrive, we will attack inside and outside, and these human beings who lack supplies will lose.
You think the situation is not good for us, but the truth is the opposite, and the situation is good for us. The situation is favorable, the opportunity to defeat these enemies is just around the corner, why don't I laugh!?"
After that, Chihu touched his big bald head, and his laughter became more hearty.
Because of this, after hearing his words and his hearty laughter, the orc warriors on the city wall who were originally nervous also breathed a sigh of relief. I don't seem so nervous and scared anymore.
But is everything really like what Red Tiger said?
Red Tiger's words are just three points true and seven points false. In order to be able to catch them off guard, the lone army went deep and bypassed all the orc towns and orc villages that could be bypassed on the way, which was good.
But then the so-called two-sided attack is pure nonsense.
Now, not to mention fighting from both sides, the Red Tiger is now even more afraid that these Templars and Tribal warriors outside the city will surround and send reinforcements. After all, Fireblade City is the core of the head of the Fireblade Tribe.
It's surrounded, and the news gets out, and those towns in the tribe are sure to panic when they hear the news. Then it is likely that they will run desperately to clear the siege.
In this way, compared to what internal and external attacks, it is more likely to be surrounded by others to help. It's just that the current situation is bad enough, and Chihu, who is the patriarch of the tribe, naturally wants to pick it up.
At this time, it is necessary to stabilize the hearts of the people in the city!
It's just that the Fire Blade Tribe is not fooled, and it just guards the city and doesn't plan to come out. Outside the city, Witch Lin and the others were also helpless about this. Alone in the depths, they now have neither reinforcements nor supplies.
The reason why these 6,000 people were able to go thousands of miles alone without chaos was because of their firm faith and the confidence that they would win. But if you continue to delay outside the city day by day, and finally become unable to fight and leave, your confidence in victory will definitely be gone.
And once the faith of victory is gone, it will only keep the 6,000 Templars and Tribal warriors from scattering and fleeing.
Therefore, as time passed, in the evening, in the tent of the witch Lin, Zhu Xiao, as the leader of the tribe's warriors, and Shou, who was the leader of the Templars, made two completely different suggestions.
That is, one suggests a strong attack, and the other suggests a siege point to send reinforcements.
The person who suggested the attack was Zhu Xiao, and the one who suggested encircling the point to send reinforcements was to defend.
However, the two of them also have their own set of arguments for this.
Let's talk about Zhu Xiao who suggested a strong attack, his reason is very simple, "Morale can be boosted." Now that they are all in the city, they should take advantage of the high morale to attack the city. I think that's the best chance of winning!"
He clenched his fists and emphasized his words.
