Chapter 584: Greeting the Visitors
On the third day of the 6921 brigade taking Sydney Burt City, the orcs finally came, to be honest, this was later than Renault expected, but Renault was naturally very happy, if the orcs attacked on the day he took Sydney Burt, he was probably a little difficult to parry, if the orcs were attacked the next day, Renault also had five points of certainty, and now the orcs only attacked on the third day, then Renault felt that there was no big problem.
By sending out sentry horses and combining some inferences, Renaud also understood a little why the orcs were so slow, on the day he took Sydney Burth, there must have escaped orcs to report, but the orc army probably didn't believe that Sydney Burth's side had fallen, and it seemed that he had killed several orcs who went back to report it, no wonder, first, the main forces of humans in this area were concentrated in Pompeitu City, and Pompeitu City was now overwhelmed, where did they get the strength to take Sydney Burth? Second, how would humans know that Sydney Burt only had a thousand defenders left? If not, who would easily hit Sydney Burth's attention? Third, take a step back, no matter how many orc defenders are not as good as Sydney Burth, there are more than a thousand orc defenders, and that is an orc warrior, if you just defend the city, how can you last for a while, right?
So the orc army really didn't believe that Sydney Burt had fallen, and it wasn't until they sent someone to check that they confirmed that Sydney Burt had fallen, needless to say that the orc commander must have been mad. But even if it was qi, the orcs did not attack abruptly, after all, it may be a relatively strong force that can take down Sydney Burth, so the orcs carefully searched for some information, is it the human troops in other areas who suddenly killed, of course, the result is to make them collapse, where do they want to get the attention of a mere human brigade that dares to hit Sydney Burth?
And the orcs wanted to fight back after confirming it, but Renault had already sent a message to the side of Pompei City, there was no doubt that the other side was also shocked, and at the same time, this news was also extremely morale-boosting, and even dared to take the initiative to attack, so the orc army was a little mired in front of Pompei City. In short, after all this back and forth, the orcs finally transferred their manpower, hoping to recapture Sydney Burth.
Why don't they be in a hurry, Sydney Burt has fallen, the back road has been cut off, the army's morale will be chaotic, and the supply of ordnance, food and grass is insufficient, so it will be a fart if it goes on like this? Therefore, the orcs still transferred 3,000 troops to take back Sydney Burt.
Three thousand troops is a lot, one thousand wolf riders, two thousand orc senior warriors, and the orcs got the news that the human 6921 brigade is no more than a thousand people, three to one troops, or orcs are better than humans, and there should be no problem in recapturing Sydney Burth.
But of course, the result was a little dumbfounded by the orcs, Renault's 6921 brigade has undergone tremendous changes in just a few days, first of all, the group of prisoners alone is almost two thousand, and then Renault has recruited some nearby teams under the banner of dealing with invaders, and there are about a thousand people, plus the recruitment of new recruits in the city, the enthusiastic citizens have also made up some new soldiers, and there are more than a thousand people, so Renault now has more than 5,600 people in his hands. In addition to the imperial standard salary, Renault also added some additional rewards, after all, Renault has a lot of money now, anyway, he pried the orc's small treasury, no need to use it in vain, how to say that this money was originally from the empire.
In addition, Renault's troops are undoubtedly on the side of reason, needless to say, the residents of the city are quite supportive of Renault, so that on the day of the defense of the city, many civilians gathered at the side of the city wall, in addition to cheering, but also sent a lot of supplies to defend the city. Renault was also happy to see such a situation, firstly, he took things for nothing, and secondly, many young girls watched, and his soldiers would work harder. It would be nice to let them retreat a little further when the war starts.
But then again, Renault seems to have a lot of people, but the combat effectiveness is divided into several grades, the first grade is naturally the original 6921 of Renault, the second is the regular army of the empire rescued from the prison, and the preparation of combat power is not bad, the third grade is the recruited irregular army, and the fourth is those prisoners and recruit eggs, among which the prisoners are better than the recruit eggs, and those new guest eggs, but after two days of training, there is basically no big difference compared to ordinary civilians, you don't need to look to know that in the face of the menacing orc army, there are already people whose legs are shakingγ
Despite this, how can these people also have some deterrent effect, Renault stood in front of the city gate, looking at the army of thousands of orcs, wolves riding on both sides, the front was the half-orc infantry, and then there were pig-headed and ko-headed people, plus some trebuchets, a few siege towers, and some equipment, I have to say that the orc army is still relatively well equipped,
But he didn't panic, but was full of confidence, waiting for the orcs to prepare to line up, Renault waved his hand, let the warriors behind him beat the drums, as the drums sounded, the warriors' shouts also sounded, thousands of people shouted together, the momentum was quite extraordinary, the killing sound shook the sky, and immediately made the orcs formation have some confusion.
These orcs are not newcomers anymore, they have experienced a lot of battles, and when they hear this, they can understand that this is the sound that a thousand people can make? If you look up again, the city is crowded, and it is even more certain that it is not as simple as a thousand, and they don't know how many enemy troops there are, this does not match the intelligence, so they can't help but panic.
But after all, it can be called a more elite team of orcs, and soon the formation of the orcs stabilized, and out of it came a tall and stout werewolf, this werewolf has a fierce gaze, a body of gray and black hair, and the hair on his head is almost about to explode, a mouthful of fangs flashing with cold light, carrying a heavy combat knife, wearing a half-body breastplate, and stepping on a giant wolf that is also very strong, and the momentum is extraordinary.
Renault still had a smile on his face when he saw the orc come out. The werewolf general took a few steps forward, and saw the black-haired and black-eyed human at the head of the city, he was wearing leather armor and no helmet, just standing there, very eye-catching, the werewolf general wolf howled before saying: "Humans! You are despicable!
Renault muttered, do orcs like to roar before they speak? This is cooler, but Renault still said: "This werewolf, you may have misunderstood something, this Sydney Burt was originally from our empire." β
The werewolf general snorted coldly and said loudly, "Despicable and shameless humans, you weak and cunning fellows!
Renault was stunned when he heard this, his brother? Then Renault remembered, it seemed that the general who was guarding the city was also a werewolf, Renault paused, and said with a smile: "This werewolf general, please rest assured, your brother stays well, we serve him with good wine and food, and he hasn't lost a single cold hair!"
The werewolf seemed to breathe a sigh of relief when he heard this, but Renault paused and continued: "Since the general has come from afar and specially came to Sydney Burt to see us, I should naturally treat the general well, this is some small gifts we have prepared, if the general does not dislike it, take it." β
After saying that, Renault stopped for a few seconds, and then something was thrown out, flew out of the distance and rolled at the feet of the werewolf general, a furry thing, the werewolf general looked at it, it was indeed a werewolf's head, wasn't it his brother?
Renault looked at the werewolf general's face distorted, and he was quite happy in his heart, he originally wanted to hold a head to play a deterrent or something, but now it seems that the effect is much better than the deterrent, the more chaotic and angry the other general's heart is, the more relaxed they will be.
The werewolf general let out a wolf howl again, this time it was an angry roar, shouting with all his might, but unfortunately before he could finish shouting, Renault had already ordered someone to use a ballista to fire crossbow arrows, and the crossbow arrows accompanied by the crossbow cart were all the thickness of a person's arm.
Thanks to the werewolf general's experience in a hundred battles, his hair stood up at once, and then the line turned out without thinking, he moved quickly, the crossbow arrow did not hit him, but unfortunately his mount was shot in a few holes on the spot, and he died so much that he couldn't die anymore, and there was not even a wail, and the body was shot away more than ten meters away.
The werewolf general was furious, he couldn't imagine that the other party would suddenly attack at the moment of this kind of negotiation? But he also didn't think that Renault was not a regular general at all, nor did he learn any systematic knowledge, and he didn't even know much about some rules on the battlefield.
As Renault expected, the werewolf general was about to go crazy immediately, retreated to a safe position, regardless of thirty-seven twenty-one, and immediately ordered the siege of the city, and the army of thousands of orcs also saw the scene just now, it was simply an insult to them, and they rushed up in a fit of anger.
Renault squinted at the orcs who rushed over with a killing shout, and he was not in a hurry to give an order, until these orcs entered the maximum killing range of the bow and arrow, he gave the order to release the arrows, and the orcs who rushed to the front were immediately shot and turned over.
It's a pity that there aren't many shooters under Renault, and there are only a few hundred people now, but fortunately, there are still a lot of ordnance in the city, and the orc army doesn't bring all the ordnance, such as ballistas, trebuchets, etc., these are all sharp weapons to defend the city, of course, cannons and magic cannons don't have to think about it.
"Trebuchet, press down on the enemy's flanks! Ballista press down on the front of the enemy!" Renault said after a rough estimate, Xia Liang said, and a few heralds hurriedly went to give the order.
It turns out that the lethality of large city defense weapons is still very good, even if the sturdy werewolf is hit by the stone of the trebuchet head-on, it is directly smashed flattened and cut off, and the ballista is also powerful, this kind of ballista is huge, just like a small board car, and the crossbow requires two people to cooperate with the equipment to pull the crossbow string on the crossbow arrow, and shoot it out to bring a few orcs to fly out.
There was no accident, the first wave of siege orcs was impulsive and angry, and rushed up without talking about the formation, and the result was to drop a hundred and ten corpses and retreat back in embarrassment.
Renault was satisfied with throwing a piece of binzakura peel into his mouth, and sure enough, people who lost their minds were easy to deal with, and these orcs didn't even rush to the edge of the city wall, let alone attack the city.
Renault turned his head, but saw that Anlolo was also there, she was also wearing a set of armor, which could be called heroic, but Renault knew that this girl was probably coming for a corpse. And Ngawang also stood aside, when Renault went up the city wall, Ngawang said that there was something wrong, and he would come later, and now Renault knew what was going on, this good guy actually brought Xiao Bang, and he didn't know where he got a small piece of equipment to put on Xiao Bang.
Renault looked at Ngawang a little speechless and said, "That's what you just said about urgency?"
Ngawang nodded awkwardly and said, "It's not that it's not good to let him go, you also know that if a small storm breaks out, no one will look at it, and it will be very dangerous,"
An Luoluo sneered on the side: "Come on, Lao Hei, if no one provokes him, how can this little tyrant break out, you have to take him with you, Lao Hei, this is a war, you let this little kid follow you, this is not your bastard, right?"
Ngawang looked at the playful eyes of Renault and An Luoluo, and said helplessly: "Originally, I just wanted to settle him and then come to defend the city, but this little guy said that he would follow me, and he would go if I went, no matter what he said, I couldn't give him a hard shot, right? β
Renaud shook his head and said: "It's not me who said, Ngawang, this really doesn't look like you, but since I'm here, let's come, follow you, sooner or later we will have to face the battle, it's good to see now, but Ngawang, you have to be optimistic about him, what kind of mess is made by him, it means a lot to us to hold Sydney Burt, if we defend the orc army that is pressing on Pompeitu City, the strength of our troops will also increase greatly, if we can't hold it, then we will become lost dogs, then it will not be good." β
Ngawang patted his chest and said: "Don't worry, no matter how bad it is, aren't there still our brothers, how can we say that we are also young talents of the West Mome Beser Empire, and I don't believe that I can't deal with these barbarian orcs, it's a big deal if I go and screw off the head of that werewolf, and the city will not be lost." β
Renault laughed and wanted to say something, but suddenly heard a somewhat hoarse and immature child's voice say, "I don't want to watch, I want to fight." β
