"Chapter 23: The Bloody Battle of the Fortress I"
I am the horse, and I am the coachman. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info The horse is the driving force, and the coachman gives the horse direction. The ego has to control the ego, but the horse may not be obedient, and the two will stalemate until one of them gives in.

As one of the most powerful alien forces on the continent, the Orc Empire also has many races within its empire, and even the beast team formed by Bai Feng with orc slaves has warriors from the four orc races of Thug, Doug, Wolfe, and Munk.
Among the orcs, the thugs are actually the fierce and unusual minotaurs in the eyes of the humans, the Doug are the kobolds with great loyalty, the Wolfs are the wolf-headed people who move quickly, and the Munk are the ape-headed people with the largest number.
In the hierarchical orc empire, in addition to the supreme Beamon royal family, the three tribes of Lane, Tagore, and Fox are the upper nobles, and the other races are ordinary civilian races, and they must unconditionally accept the orders of the superior nobles.
Of course, this simple and crude racial division is not so strictly enforced, for example, the Oliphns, who are sparsely populated but have strong individual combat effectiveness, will not take the so-called upper three tribes into account, and the people of the upper three tribes will be helpless against them.
At this time, the orc army assembled on a large scale in front of Bai Feng was the second-line army of the Orc Empire with the Munk warriors and the Pig warriors as the main body, and the only thousands of elite warriors of the Ryan clan were distributed at the front of the army as the main offensive force.
This is also one of the characteristics of the Orc Empire, the warriors of the upper three races enjoy the services provided by other races within the Orc Empire, and whenever they go to the battlefield, the orc warriors of the three races will charge at the forefront of the orc army.
Half an hour of assembly allowed at least 5,000 elite orc warriors and 50,000 orc troops to gather around Fortress 12.
The soldiers of the 40th Legion in the fortress all felt a kind of fear from the bottom of their hearts when they looked at the orc army that was pouring in like a tide, and even the 7th Wing, which had several actual combat experiences, could not be immune to this uncontrollable fear.
Fortunately, the four teams of the Fifth Brigade of the Roman Youth Army and the three teams of Cretan archers of the Logistics Brigade did not show any unusual expressions from the system, but only more than 1,000 system soldiers could not stop the attack of the orc army.
In order to boost the morale of the soldiers under his command, Bai Feng used the source of spiritual power in his dantian for the first time without reservation;
"Brothers of the Seventh Wing, I am your Wing Leader Bai Feng!"
The thunderous chanting in the clear sky not only attracted the soldiers of the first battle group of the seventh wing, but even the defending soldiers in other areas of the twelfth fortress turned their eyes to Bai Feng, who was wearing the captain's armor.
Facing the gaze of the soldiers under his command, Bai Feng, who held his head high, pointed to the orc army that swept in front of him and continued: "I know that you are afraid of the orc army in front of you, because I am also afraid;
As soon as the words that hit the morale of the army were spoken, the officers and men of the Seventh Wing were fine, but the officers and men of the other wings were in an uproar; especially the upright captains of the Wing, such as Rodwell, jumped up on the spot and jumped to their feet and scolded Bai Feng in the distance!
It's a pity that their scolding can only reach a hundred and eighty meters at most, and it can't reach Bai Feng's ears at all; Bai Feng, who is taking care of himself, still has a high-pitched voice: "However, no matter how scared we are, we can't take a step back!"
"Brothers, look behind you, there is our homeland, our parents, wives and children, friends and brothers, tell me, can you watch your homeland wreak havoc by orcs, and your parents, wives and children slaughtered by orcs?
"Can't!" "Can't!!" "Can't !!"
The scene depicted by Bai Feng appeared in the minds of every soldier as if it were a real picture, and the lingering fear in their hearts was instantly replaced by the tragedy of the destruction of their families, a reality that no normal person could accept.
"Since we can't, then we must hold on to the weapons in our hands and use our blood and lives to defend our homeland to the death! You must always remember that we are not only soldiers who defend the empire, but also men who defend our homeland!!"
"Swear to defend the empire to the death! Defend the homeland to the death!" Bai Feng, who pulled out the Miaofa Muramasa on his waist, immediately raised his arms and shouted.
"Swear to defend the empire to the death! Defend the homeland to the death!" Borg, who understood his heart, shouted slogans after Bai Feng.
"Defend the empire to the death, defend the homeland to the death!" In the next second, thousands of soldiers on the entire right wing of the city wall all raised their weapons in their hands, chanting this inspiring slogan with tears in their eyes, and the previous haze was completely swept away!
The officers and men of the 7th Wing raised their arms and shouted as if they would be contagious, and soon all the officers and men of the 40th Regiment who were scattered in all areas of Fortress No. 12 shouted this slogan, and the morale of the rainbow even alarmed the Marquis of Rundstead, who was sitting in the main fortress of No. 4!
What happened on the city wall did not affect the pace of the orc army that was slowly advancing outside the city, because this orc army was attacking the entire Fortress No. 12 area, so the orc army that actually attacked the defense area of the seventh wing was only about 8,000 people.
The attacking force composed of about 4,000 Manker warriors and 4,000 Pige warriors approached the city wall three hundred meters away, Bai Feng raised his left hand and swung it down to the right.
Borg, whose eyes had never left Bai Feng's left hand, immediately roared at the Cretan archers beside him: "Shoot!"
The Cretan archers, who had been incredibly lethal but lacked range, stood on a giant watchtower 70 meters high, and their actual range had reached a formidable 300 meters!
With Borg's order, the three teams of Cretan archers instantly released their right hands that were tightening the bowstring, and four hundred and eighty sharp arrows split into three arrows and shot at the densely packed orc army.
The orcs, who are extremely backward in the level of scientific and technological development, are still using the most rudimentary siege ladders to this day, but the courage and good fighting of the orc warriors are indeed not in vain, and the rain of arrows of the Cretan archers cannot cause them much damage!
Under the first round of arrows from the Cretan archers, more than 150 of the more than 8,000 orc warriors were shot, and many orc warriors even had two or three arrows stuck in their bodies, but only a few dozen orc warriors really lost their combat effectiveness.
After seeing the fierceness of the orcs for the first time, Bai Feng, who had hundreds of thousands of barbarian warriors under his command, had to admit that the barbarian warriors who were known as the orc warriors in the human race were really far from the real orc warriors!
However, war is never a simple comparison of individual strengths, is it? You don't see, under the ferocious attack of nearly two million orc troops, the hundreds of thousands of imperial troops stationed in Sunset Fortress have desperately blocked the orc empire's army from the fortress!
At a distance of 300 meters, three teams of Cretan archers fired a salvo of seventeen rounds of arrow rain, and even if each round of arrow rain did not cause any huge casualties to the orc battle on the charging road, there were still more than 400 orc warriors who died under the arrow rain!
