Chapter 173: Stalemate
The fierce battle lasted from morning to sunset, and both the orc warriors from small tribes and the orc warriors from the Hammer tribe were heroic in this battle. yelled "kill the enemy", and in the end, countless people were hit hard and died.
It's just a pity that the will of the defenders is even more resolute. Therefore, even after several hours of fierce fighting and three or four waves of attacks, these orc warriors still failed to break through the defensive line of the defenders.
Therefore, after sunset, the helpless orc warriors had no choice but to withdraw their troops.
But the orc coalition is also inspired to be ferocious. Even though they lost more than 2,000 warriors in the battle during the day, the next day, the orcs attacked more and more fiercely.
And this time, the orcs didn't just use the ladders and siege vehicles. And even the building cars that were built were thrown into the battlefield by them.
Louche, which is a giant siege machine that is as high as the walls of Xiping City. The exterior looks like a building, and the interior is a long staircase that winds upwards.
Relying on such a giant weapon, the orcs besieging the city did not need to worry about the defenders' rolling stone and gold arrows, and could directly attack the walls of Xiping City from the top of the building.
So when the two tall building cars appeared on the battlefield, it did bring a great shock to the defenders. In the face of such a giant thing, the Kingdom warriors who are just ordinary people really don't know how to start.
Because the exterior of the building car is wrapped in water-soaked wet cotton cloth, it is difficult to ignite even if it is attacked with fire.
"Look, this time we will be able to defeat these damned humans in one fell swoop and conquer this obstructive city!"
Before the war, a captain of the Strongshield tribe could be described as full of confidence. But when the battle really started, the commander who had spoken boldly was slapped in the face after a while.
The cart is at the same height as the wall, so attacking orcs can jump directly from the top of the cart to the wall. But vice versa, the defenders on the walls can also jump from the walls to the carts.
So, he was led by Mamoru and another powerful Templar who had also been blessed three times. The two of them launched a counterattack with a hundred elite Templars each.
They jumped directly from the city wall to the top of the orc's cart, and then guarded the staircase of the cart. The orc general who wanted to use the building car to make the final decision jumped to his feet and scolded.
Then, when the wet cotton cloth wrapped outside the building car was dry, two fires burned the two behemoths clean. The attacking orcs had to retreat again.
However, this time the orcs really showed their indomitable side. Two sieges in a row failed, and nearly 4,000 people were lost before and after. But on the third day, the orcs launched a new fierce and fierce attack.
But it's useless for an orc to eat a trench and grow wise, and then use something stupid like a building car. Instead, he filled several jars with animal fat, and tried to burn the wooden gates with a fire, and then kill them into the city.
But I didn't expect that the city gate had been renovated, and a mechanism that could raise soil and extinguish the fire had been set up early. Therefore, the fire cannot be lit even with oil. In the end, it only added hundreds of casualties.
I had no choice but to use the stupidest and most practical old method. Continue to siege the city with ladder ants.
In this way, the casualties are greater. But the pressure on the defenders was no small amount, so at one point there were orc warriors who climbed the walls. It's just that the walls of the city are full of Templars who have sacrificed their lives, and even those orc warriors who climb the walls can rarely hold out for ten minutes.
It didn't take long for them to be driven down again.
So when the sun went down and the coalition forces had to withdraw again. The younger of the patriarchs, Hasen, couldn't help but scold.
"I am in his hands, these human beings are not beaten by iron. Once, twice, or three times, you can't take them!" Davout, who was on the side, heard this, and his brows furrowed slightly, but he only sighed.
One blow of strength, then decline, three and exhaustion. Failed three times in a row, even if Dawu City Mansion was deeply unwilling to express what he thought in his heart, he was also very depressed in his heart. Just don't talk about it.
It's just that he didn't expect that after his subtle actions were seen by the big shaman Amu Gulang on the side, Amu Gulang immediately understood what he was thinking.
So Amu Gulang also took a deep breath at this time and said: "I have something here, if it is used well, it should be able to help us break the deadlock in front of us." ”
"What's that?"
Hearing Amu Gulang's words, Davout asked with joy. Hassan, Chagan, and Agoura all turned their attention to Amugul. So, just an hour later, the men saw a huge iron box bound by iron chains.
"Great Shaman, is this what you said will help us break the deadlock?"
Cha Gan of the Star Bow Tribe frowned and asked, but there was some disbelief in his eyes.
But it's not just him. At this time, even Dawu, who was the patriarch of the Jiandun tribe, didn't know what medicine was being sold in the gourd of the great shaman Amugulang.
But it's all at this time, and Amu Gulang doesn't plan to hide it. So he pointed to the chest, and told him everything about the Bloodthirsty Demon Axe.
Therefore, after Amu Gulang said goodbye, Dawu, who was the patriarch of the Jiandun Tribe, couldn't help but say with a look of surprise: "The thing in the box turned out to be the bloodthirsty magic axe. But hasn't this thing been destroyed a long time ago?"
"I've tried, but even a furnace big enough to melt steel won't help it. So I had to secretly seal this magic axe, and it was said to be destroyed to the outside world. After all, the power contained in this magic axe is too terrifying, and I have to do it. In this regard, don't blame the king. ”
"It's okay, you had no choice but to do it at the time. Davout nodded, but with a generous face. But then, he raised his eyebrows slightly, but he couldn't help but say: "But this magic axe does not distinguish between us and us, how can we use this magic axe to break the situation? If it creates a turmoil within us like it once did, it will really make our current situation worse." ”
"Don't worry, Wang. I already have a solution for this. This magic axe has been in my hands for so many years, and I still have a somewhat superficial understanding of it. I believe that as long as we follow my method, this magic axe will definitely become a sharp weapon in our hands, and then help us break the impasse in front of us. ”
"Okay, so tell me what we're going to do next. ”
Seeing that the great shaman Amu Gulang looked like he was in his chest, Davout, as the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces, also believed his words. So everyone present pricked up their ears and listened to Amu Gulang tell him about his plan......
