"Chapter 24: The Bloody Battle of the Fortress, II"

The death of nearly one-twentieth of the orc warriors quickly plunged the other orc warriors running in the charging path into a rage, shouting slogans that Bai Feng did not understand, carrying dozens of siege ladders, like a tidal wave to the city wall defended by the Seventh Wing.

The orc army that did not pass through the battle formation did not list any strict siege formation, and they could not even stand in the most basic queue on the attacking side; even so, the momentum of the fierce orc warriors was still daunting!

More than 5,000 orc warriors focused their attacks on the six protrusions of the wall, and ladders were erected up by the nimble Munk warriors, followed by the Pigs warriors who climbed up the ladders.

The second detachment of the first brigade was responsible for garrisoning the second outburst, and the leader of the detachment, Tracy, was an officer from the military department of the Imperial College like Nishizawa and Morris, but his luck in the army was not as good as that of Nishizawa, Borg and others.

Within two months of entering the army, he was promoted from a second-year student in the military department to a detachment leader above the squadron leader.

Tracy, who understood why he could achieve the position of captain of the detachment and why he was fighting, was full of loyalty to Bai Feng and the enthusiasm to defend his homeland; Seeing the orc's ladder on the city, Tracy immediately pulled out the short sword at his waist and shouted:

"The 4th Squadron is back! The 5th Squadron is ready to meet the enemy! The 6th Squadron is ready to counterattack!"

At Tracy's order, the soldiers of the 4th Squadron immediately retreated to the back of the city wall, the soldiers of the 5th Squadron formed a battle formation in small formations in the middle of the city wall, and the soldiers of the 6th Squadron picked up the cobblestone under their feet and approached the edge of the city wall.

The cobblestone, which weighed more than eighty catties, required the full strength of each warrior to move to the battlements on the edge of the city wall, and when the battlements were full of cobblestones, Tracy, who was holding the short sword in his hand, never gave the order to counterattack, but stared at the orcs on the ladder.

When the first Pigar warrior climbed up the ladder to a distance from the city, he seemed to have seen himself leaping into the walls and slaying his enemies, but before he could do so, a Tracy roar rang out from the walls.

"Rolling stones, put it!"

Eighty rolling stones piled on the battlements were pushed down by the soldiers of the 6th Squadron at the order of Tracy, and the Pyg warrior who climbed at the top of the ladder was immediately smashed down the ladder by the heavy rolling stones!

The powerful orc warriors, when facing the constantly falling rolling stones, were crushed without resistance, especially those orc warriors who were directly hit by the rolling stones, and they didn't even have time to react before they splattered blood on the spot.

The blow of the rolling stones was not enough to make the fierce orc warriors retreat, and as soon as the orc warriors in front were smashed into a blur of flesh and blood, the orc warriors in the rear stepped on the corpses of their comrades and continued to carry the ladder to the city wall.

The soldiers of the sixth squadron carried the rolling stones at a speed that could not keep up with the speed at which the orc warriors climbed the ladder, and after only about 300 rolling stones were smashed, the first Pigg warrior with red eyes jumped into the city wall with the short spear in his hand held high.

"The 6th Squadron retreats and rests! The 4th Squadron is ready to meet the enemy! The 5th Squadron kills me!"

Panting, the 6th Squadron was withdrawn by Tracy to the position of the original 4th Squadron to rest, and the 5th Squadron, which had long been ready for battle, viciously slaughtered the orc warriors who climbed the city wall, and the fierce hand-to-hand combat began in an instant.

The ten soldiers of the sixth squad formed a semi-circular encirclement with the square shield in their hands, and began to besiege and kill the Pigg warrior who was the first to kill the city wall;

He brandished the short spear in his hand, trying to break through the shield wall that surrounded him, but the short spear was not sharp, and it could not even pierce a shield, let alone a shield wall made of ten shields, which could not be broken by a single short spear.

The Goddess of Victory was not always on the side of the Sixth Squad, and before the soldiers of the Sixth Squad could kill the Pig warrior, five more Pigs and Munk warriors came to the Pig warrior.

The soldiers of the sixth squad with tacit understanding quickly advanced forward in the posture of the shield wall, and the roaring orc warriors had to use their own hands to resist the suppression of the shield wall under the premise that they could not break the shield wall.

As everyone knows, this is exactly what the soldiers of the sixth squad want to see the most, when the five orc warriors tried their best to resist the shield wall with both hands, the originally stable shield wall immediately scattered in all directions, and the soldiers who achieved the goal successfully stabbed the short swords in their hands into the enemy's chest.

This kind of squad-level battle formation coordination is the basic battle formation that every squad under the command of the Seventh Wing must learn, and the eight squads of the entire Fifth Squadron easily killed the first dozens of orc warriors who climbed the city wall by relying on this efficient and practical battle formation.

At this time, the fierce battle had just begun, and the continuous killing of the orc warriors on the city wall made the soldiers of the fifth squadron tired to deal with; in desperation, Tracy, as the leader of the detachment, had to order in advance: "Fourth squadron, kill me!"

Tracy, with his dagger in his hand, led the fourth squadron behind the fifth squadron to lead the battle among the orc warriors on the city walls, and a Pyg warrior whose head was cut off by Tracy's sword soaked Tracy's armor with blood spurted out.

The bloody battle in the six protrusions did not affect the Cretan archers on the giant watchtower, who were still methodically shooting their arrows at the orc army outside the city walls, killing and wounding as many orc warriors as possible.

When the orc army was unable to capture the six protrusions, they turned the three thousand orc warriors who had not been engaged in the attack for the time being to attack other areas of the city wall to attack, and in response to this situation, Bai Feng, who was personally in command, immediately ordered Lennon and Borg behind him:

"Lennon, you immediately lead the Fourth Brigade into the front of the wall to defend it, and once the orc army has set up their ladder on the wall, you must clear their ladder as soon as possible, leaving four areas for them to erect. ”

"No!" Lennon, who didn't know why, didn't understand why Bai Feng wanted to leave four areas for the orc army to set up the ladder, but he still took the order without hesitation, and led his soldiers to the front of the city wall.

"Borg, you immediately send the four teams of the Fifth Brigade to the four areas left behind, and the Roman Youth Army will be responsible for strangling the orc warriors who have climbed the city wall!"

"No!" Borg, who had been ordered, also turned around and led the elite four groups of Roman youth troops to the front of the city wall.

In addition to the right flank city wall defended by the first battle group of the Seventh Wing led by Bai Feng himself, the battle in other parts of the No. 12 fortress was also extremely fierce, and the earth-shattering shouts of killing resounded in the sky, and both the attacking and defending sides were throwing the blood of their own soldiers.
