Chapter Seventy-Six: The White City of Internal and External Difficulties
After yesterday's experience, the soldiers' combat methods were much more resolute, not caring about the dense crowd at all, the arrow feathers were constantly thrown into the air, and then fell with a sharp whistle, the dense crowd kept falling to the ground, and even the half-orcs who were mixed with the crowd to supervise the battle, they lost a lot, the fierce attack made the charging humans obviously feel fear, their movement speed slowed down significantly, and even in some marginal areas, there were signs of collapse, but under the strong suppression of the Mordor Governor's team, the crowd still rushed towards the White City unswervingly。
And this time, following behind the crowd, in addition to the original half-orc warlords, Mordor's regular legions also began to mix, their numbers were unprecedentedly large, the number was almost the same as the 20,000 humans in front, and they were more well-trained, more well-equipped, huge siege towers also appeared here, on which the dense half-orc archers, the longest-distance shooting in the direction of the white city, although the effect was not great, but this dense arrow feathers, but also made the guards on the city wall, unable to output at full strength.
Behind the siege tower, a huge figure appeared, from the outside, like a huge boar made of steel, with a burly body and a hideous head, and the army of Mordor around him continued to let out excited roars, and then chanted rhythmically in unison
"Monsters"
"Monsters"
"Monsters"
Seeing this scene, Qin Chuan's eyes were distracted, Mordor did not have a siege cone to attack the city gate, because they knew that in the face of the steel giant gate of the White Tower, no matter how many ordinary siege cones were useless, so this allowed Qin Chuan to put his defensive mind on the city wall with peace of mind, but now it is different, this huge monster is undoubtedly an expanded version of the siege cone, and the cone head is made of hard steel, this huge siege cone will undoubtedly shake the city gate, and under the continuous impact, it may even knock down the city wall。
This made Qin Chuan, who didn't have much reserve combat power, have to find a way to use the defensive power on the city wall to strengthen the city gate, and Mordor didn't seem to want to have too many reservations this time, a large number of trebuchets that had been replenished with ammunition began to speak again, and in it, there seemed to be four giant trebuchets, and the stone bullets they projected were much larger than ordinary stone bullets, and Qin Chuan saw with his own eyes that the stone bullets had been fired on a city wall, along with the top of the city wall and the people on it, disappeared in an instant.
However, it is good to know that the walls of the White City are still strong enough, and even if they are hit by boulders, the walls are not directly broken except for a large dent.
However, another piece of news is that if the same place is hit multiple times, the walls that were thought to never be breached will also be knocked down directly.
This time the attack was extremely ferocious, and the Mordor army that launched the general attack did not care about human life as always, not only the Terran slave troops who were used as cannon fodder and cover, but also the real combat power, the half-orc army.
Arrow feathers flew wantonly in the crowd, harvesting countless lives, red stone bullets seemed to rule the sky, with a monster-like roar, smashing into the city, he made countless buildings turn into wreckage, with the roar of the fall, the screams of the crowd, the alarm bells of the church, the unbridled fire burning, and outside the white city, the black army inexorably continued to move forward, countless giant towers, phalanxes, roaring forward around the huge "monster", crushing deep traces on the green earth.
It seems to be a mirror image of the apocalypse, but in the eyes of war scientists, this may be the most magnificent aesthetics of violence, and for the first time, Qin Chuan began to despair about defense.
The Terran refugees who had been driven crazy seemed to have finally erupted, they howled forward to attack, constantly creating an advantage for Mordor, continuous battles and huge mental pressure, and finally, the originally impregnable city wall began to appear on a large scale to be landed, although each time they were driven down, but it also made the already unreasonable battle loss ratio even more unreasonable.
On average, the battle losses have reached almost one to two, two Terran soldiers, for one Mordor soldier, and this one is just the most ordinary and common half-orc soldier in Mordor, while the Terran includes elite soldiers from the north and south.
I don't know if it's because of the chaos of the city wall, the city behind the city has become more unstable, and the long-term hunger and dissatisfaction, as well as the pressure of the city breaking, the refugees at the bottom began to start a riot, although this riot was temporarily suppressed under the pacification of the monks who existed almost everywhere, but everyone knew that if the city wall could not be stabilized quickly, the city's great riot would come at any time.
The church has even begun to systematically transfer personnel and core believers to the inner city, and even the church does not think that the outer city can continue to be stable, because as time passes, finally, the first flames that do not belong to Mordor have begun to burn in the outer city.
Qin Chuan knew the situation in the outer city very well, but he couldn't do anything, the little back combat power in his hands was sent out to maintain the supply line of the city wall, and there was no more combat power to maintain law and order, and the small number of guard troops in the inner city had no power to suppress the vast outer city, and it seemed that there was no other constraint in the outer city except for the only remaining efforts of the church.
Internal and external difficulties.
The guards also seem to understand that defeat awaits their end, and the fighting is extraordinarily brave, the monks are directly dressed in armor, wearing monk's uniforms, holding a cross in one hand, and wielding a variety of heavy weapons in the other.
By this point, the Terrans had used all their strength, and Mordor, and even at least 40,000 men, had never participated in a battle and had been recuperating in the rear.
From a distance, one after another siege towers were erected on the city wall, and each time they were erected, countless elite orc soldiers would rush out from inside, and they set off a bloody wind on the city wall, and the strong orc troops mixed in it from time to time were even more defeated by the human race, and finally under the joint efforts of the soldiers from the north and south and the church, they were able to maintain the battle line.
The trebuchet began to completely target the city, countless stone projectiles smashed into the outer city, the attack of the giant trebuchet, and even threatened the inner city, when a huge stone projectile was thrown near the inner city at the farthest distance, five unlucky people were killed on the spot, and a small fire was caused.
With the flames burning in the inner city, the security of the outer city finally collapsed.
The rioting refugees began to smash and loot in droves, they plundered everything they saw in front of them, whether it was food, wealth, or women, of course, they did not hesitate to burn the flames in their hands, and the whole city began to have fires on a larger scale, and the performance of the outer city also made the guards in the front-line battle chaotic, and the whole front began to tremble, if it were not for the fierce pressure of the monks and the minor nobles, the troops would have been defeated, and at this time, the "monster" The giant siege cone, close to the city gate, the huge steel head, as the forty strong man-eating beasts dragged hard, rose high backwards, and then fell heavily.
Boom~ The entire city wall began to shake.
Battles and riots spread throughout the city walls and the outer city, but in an inconspicuous tower in the outer city, it seemed to be completely unaffected, it was still quiet, the knights in stubborn clothes stood straight, their eyes looked straight ahead, behind them, a figure stood, two knights were dressing their armor, the silver-white knight's armor was extremely gorgeous, the light radiated a soft light, under the pointed helmet, was a young and handsome cheek.
With another shock, a trace of dust fell from above and spilled onto the floor.
"I wonder if this will be our last performance?"
The young knight echoed in the quiet tower with a light laugh, and as the knight handed over a shining sword and shield, the knight waved a sword flower and stepped over the shield:
"If so, we will make this performance a desperate one that the enemy will never dare to forget. ”
The knight's tone was suddenly stern, like a cold frost sweeping the tower, in front of him, a white war horse was led over, thanks to the grandeur of the white tower, in the tower, it can also allow the cavalry to move freely, the knight turned over and got on the horse, and at this time, the door in front of him opened, and the chaotic war picture outside came into view, and nearly a hundred knights outside had already stepped on the war horse and waited, they looked at the young knight.
The knight walked out of the tower and stood at the head of the queue, his back to the battlefield, looking at the warriors who were ready, and then turning to look into the distance:
"Follow my knight and let the world remember my Qin Chuan's name!"
"Knight, charge!"
With the shouting, Qin Chuan rushed out first, he did not rush to the city wall, but rushed directly to the outside of the city, with the struggle of the war horse to jump, a silver-white figure, accompanied by the sun, sprinkled down!
