Chapter 144: Bloody Battle Horn Fort (4)
The huge siege tower finally reached the short distance of the city wall, and when it came to this, in fact, Mordor no longer had to move forward, seeing that a large number of trolls behind the tower roared together, the tower shook slightly, and the tower was already close in front of him, although Kakar had lost a large number of goblin goblins along the way, but it had preserved the huge siege ladder to the greatest extent.
The swaying tower was like a clock of death, and with the constant swaying, the hearts of everyone present were nervous, they knew that the tower would collapse sooner or later, but they still couldn't control the tension in their hearts.
Do you get scared at the thought of a behemoth smashing straight down at you?
As the tower swayed more and more, at last, with the last tilt of the trolls, he finally fell towards the walls of Fort Clarion, the huge figure was so terrifying that for a moment it seemed to block out the sunlight, he fell down slightly slowly, then increased sharply, and smashed hard into the walls in the terrified eyes of the soldiers of Fort Clarion.
"Boom~~~"
Even the sturdy Horn Fort seemed to tremble slightly at this time, and a puff of smoke rose slightly, obscuring everyone's eyes, but when the thin curtain disappeared, a slightly bumpy wide road appeared.
The wooden towers sloped between the ground and the walls of Fort Clarion, and the great reminder and the back were like a sudden wooden staircase, the bottom of which was quiet, but the Fort Clarion shook up.
Behind the 'stairs', the crowded goblin with countless sandbags on his back looked at it, this tower is not directly level with the city wall, there is still a certain distance between him and the city wall, and the tower is not firm now, the bumpy gap is extremely easy for people to lose their level, and there is also this gap between the towers, which needs to be filled, this is an extremely huge project, but it can't stand the almost endless army of servants in Kakar's hands.
The people on both sides looked at each other across the tower, and none of them made any noise, and the battlefield was now eeriely quiet for a moment.
The night before the storm is always quiet.
"Rush, !!"
With a cry that came out of nowhere, countless goblin goblins rushed towards the city wall like a flood of embankments under the cover of orc soldiers, and the scene of tens of thousands of people running desperately on the ground was as unstoppable as the tide of the sea, perhaps out of fear, their mouths screaming meaninglessly, and they carried sandbags that were almost larger than themselves.
Lelouch looked at it from above, the ground was full of people coming and going, the soldiers of Fort Horn were desperately firing a rain of arrows, trebuchets and crossbows were constantly tilting fire, and the flames exploded, like blood-red bewitching flowers, the bright red embellished with life, it was so shocking and beautiful.
A stone projectile flew forward almost to the ground for a distance, but in an instant it became a flesh alley, and the short, thin goblin goblins fell to the hand with a wail, almost every one of them was incomplete.
And at the front, the garrison soldiers desperately squeezed the orc soldiers below, they attacked the enemy below with spears, the orc soldiers used their shields to protect themselves, and then used a rain of arrows to throw at this distance, these bows and arrows may not be as lethal as the Horn Fort, but the number is extremely large, and the losses of the garrison began to expand under the continuous rain of arrows.
This is not even the past, Kakar also had people bring in large sturdy planks from behind, although these large planks are not many, but they also managed to build a small slope, with the help of this slope, the orc soldiers can even climb the walls of Fort Horn with a little force, at this time, the advantage of Fort Clarion City was finally completely eliminated by Kakar.
The battle once again fell into a stalemate at this time, the orc soldiers didn't care about killing the enemy, as long as the goblin goblins behind the pillow could not directly face the frontal attack on the filled ground, and the Hornfort legion could not launch a counter-charge, because of the number of people, if it was really a face-to-face battle, Leluxiu would not be able to win the battle, and there were too few people in Fort Horn.
The sun shifted as the battle progressed, and the vast trenches and crevices were gradually filled with sandbags and their own corpses in addition to sandbags.
The sky has darkened, but Kakar has no intention of stopping, he doesn't care that there are tired goblin goblins in front of him, but constantly orders them to continue to work, if one dies, send one, and if two die, send two, anyway, behind is a steady stream of goblin goblins, it's a big deal to let them all stay, anyway, the magic tower will be reconvened from the black earth, and these vassals of goblin goblins are really how much they want.
The combat units in charge of the battle on the front line have been changed several times, and the soldiers who have retired have received perfect logistics support from their own side, although Mordor only protects the strong orcs, but it also preserves their own combat power to the greatest extent.
In the plain outside Fort Horn at night, countless orc soldiers held torches for lighting, they kept wandering to avoid being hit by Fort Clarifle, and then pointed the way for the working goblin goblins, from the air, a large number of fire points swam on the ground, and almost every point of light could be seen around the dense running figures.
Kakar's move really left Fort Horn without a solution.
"My lord, at this rate, I estimate that before the morning of the day after tomorrow at the latest, a road nearly three hundred meters wide will appear in front of us, and they may not be able to let the mammoths come up, but the orc soldiers and trolls will be unimpeded. ”
In the council hall at the top of Fort Clarrum, Libert said his estimate with concern, everyone present was frowning at this time, none of them thought that Kakar would actually use this trick, even Lelouch did not expect that although this tactic was extremely dangerous for the laying team of the work, but in Middle-earth, Mordor, who has two vassal races of goblins and goblins, actually did not have any problems.
Standing at the top of Hornkeep, Lelouch could clearly feel the noisy earth beneath his feet, where countless goblin goblins were running.
"How long will the noble alliance in the White City last?"
Under Leluxiu's inquiry, Wang Zifeng stood up and said:
"We've increased the tension in the back, and the build-up that had slowed down a few days ago is now starting to pick up again, but this delay, I don't think they'll be able to complete the build-up in a week. ”
Wang Zifeng's words made almost everyone present frown in disgust, under the system created by Lu Luxiu, they didn't have the slightest good impression of the White City government, if it weren't for the pressure that Lu Lu Xiu had been facing Mordor, everyone present would have been ready to lead troops to recover White City, among which Frank was the most active.
Lelouch didn't know what to say, he didn't know what to say, he silently stared at the model of the Horn Fort in front of him, his eyes were motionless, and finally he suddenly drew his long sword and pointed it at a building behind the city wall.
"We guard the wall!"
Fort Clarion is very magnificent, the magnificent castle naturally cannot have only one wall, in addition to the outermost city wall, there is a city wall behind Fort Clarion, this is a city wall that is healthy on the outer city wall, for the city wall, he is really ordinary, but when he is built behind the main wall of Fort Clarion, he has an advantage that all walls cannot have.
"We guard the wall, Mordor can't use large siege equipment, they can't transport it at all, there is no problem with the artificial road of that slope to walk the cavalry, but if you want to transport something like a siege tower, it is wishful thinking. ”
Lelouch's words lit up the eyes of those present in an instant, and they also looked at the battlefield sand table, and Frank looked at it:
"If we defend the wall, Kakar will only be left with the ant-attached method of attacking the city, although the wall is not as complete as the main wall, but it is enough to block the attack of Mordor, as long as we are in a stalemate, we can fight and consume. ”
Frank quickly understood the battle intent, Lelouch nodded with satisfaction, his team now has its own division of labor, Libert is more in line with military logistics, Frank is in line with combat command, Wang Zifeng is in charge of intelligence and internal affairs, Kenon is the secretary general, plus I don't know how long it will take to come back to meet the charging Nevsky, Lelouch's team is enough to support the rule of a force.
It's just that in terms of internal affairs, Lu Luxiu wants another person more, Wang Zifeng is not the main direction of governance after all, if he is engaged in internal affairs, Lu Luxiu needs a more professional person.
"It's just that I don't know if he wants to?"
Lelouch slightly put aside distracting thoughts:
"Tell us to go on, in the next battle, we will try to delay the speed of Mordor to build the road, but if the outer wall is lost, there is no need to continue to defend it, retreat to the guard wall, and we will do a second block!"
Time goes by.
When a glimmer of morning sun began to soothe the earth, and the breeze blew away the mountain mist, the Third Legion of Mordor, which had fought for two days and two nights, finally completed its work.
"The road is open!
When Kakar, who had been waiting for a long time, heard the constant cheers coming from the front line, he finally relaxed his brow:
"Hahaha, Lu Luxiu Xiaoer, I see what else you have to do now!"
Kakar didn't hesitate at all, he shouted directly at the entourage beside him:
"Go, let my Erlang charge, I want to make the power of the Third Legion resound throughout the earth!"
The 3rd Corps, which had been waiting for four days, moved!
Countless orc soldiers rushed towards Hornfort behind the heavily armored trolls, and the wide expanse of the earth ensured that almost every charging soldier would be able to appear on the city walls without any hindrance.
Their numbers are huge, morale is extremely high, the combat effectiveness and fighting spirit accumulated by four consecutive days of eating, will be completely released at this moment, the slope is very strong, even if the heavy trolls walk on it is also stable, the heavy trolls hold a huge shield to walk in the front, they carefully dodge the flying stone bullets and crossbow arrows in the air, these huge defensive weapons can only be blocked by the shield held by the heavy trolls.
The Third Legion kept getting closer to the city walls, but as it got closer, it not only had more doubts in the bottom of my heart!
"Why isn't there a shout of killing?"
Kakar looked at the legion in the distance in confusion, the soldiers were almost about to rush to the city wall, but the city wall was still quiet, and if something went wrong, it was a demon, and Kakar, who was originally confident and slow, suddenly had some bad premonitions, he and Elby were on duty in the Third Legion, and naturally knew how Elby failed in the Supreme City.
Except for the dwarves' whimsical street fighting, Elby will never lose when the centaur reinforcements are brought, but afterwards Elby directly pointed out the real reason for his defeat, that is, carelessness, all races that originally had no combat effectiveness in the eyes of the great shaman will almost show strong combat effectiveness in the end, so Elby's defeat deeply stimulated Kakar, who was deeply wary of any unplanned abnormal behavior.
Kakar's doubts were quickly answered, and when Kakar watched his legion ascend the city wall without hindrance, and finally waited for the heralds at the front, a wolf cavalry stopped outside Kakar's guard, panting:
"Honorable Great Shaman, there is no one on the city walls, and the Terrans on the Horn Fort are gone!"
Kakar was stunned when he heard the news, and was about to send the Wyvern to check the details, when a huge shouting of killing suddenly broke out on the front line, which came extremely suddenly and violently, and even made Kakar wonder if his army had been ambushed.
But in an instant, Kakar shook his head again, Mordor has been in control of Fort Clarion for a hundred years, and the structure of Fort Clarion is naturally clear to him, it is impossible to hide so many troops on the main city wall, and even if he really hides it, he has successfully hidden it, and this kind of unobstructed ambush Kakar does not think it will be useful.
In the frontal field battle, Hornfort may win this one, but it will definitely not win the next one, fight for attrition, as long as Lelouch is not defending the city wall, then it is definitely not Mordor's opponent.
"Walls?!"
Kakar suddenly flashed a flash of inspiration in his mind, and before he could explain, another wolf cavalry came to Kakar:
"Great Shaman, the human race has run to the back wall, we are now under attack, we need a ladder to attack the city now!"
Kakar understood in an instant, and turned extremely angry at Lelouch's shamelessness:
"You are still a human nobleman, is this kind of retreat without a fight worthy of your glory?!"
Kaka turned around anxiously twice, and suddenly found that he had no other good means to deal with Lelouch behind the second wall of the disaster, so he could only grit his teeth:
"I don't believe that the second city wall will be difficult to attack the first wall, so pass the order to go down, let the team retreat and rest first, and leave enough vigilance troops!"
When Kakar was about to take a break and think about it, suddenly three dragons flew down, and Elbi sat on them:
"Master Karui asked me to ask for a question!"
