Contrary to the great increase in the number of soldiers and civilians in Lancastes, the orc camp can be said to be full of mourning...... Perhaps the word is exaggerated. But the scene at this time is indeed a bit miserable, although the fire has been extinguished, but there are many places where smoke, especially the place where grain and grass are hoarded, although they responded in time, but most of the grain was still burned, and the air was filled with an attractive fragrance, but there was no joy on the faces of the orc officers and soldiers who came and went. Some orc shamans were busy treating the wounded soldiers back and forth, and the losses caused by the night attack last night were mainly the loss of siege equipment, food and grass, and mounts, while the casualties of the soldiers were not large. However, this had a severe effect on the morale of the soldiers, and the attack scheduled for the early morning had to be cancelled.

"Humanity is so shameless!"

In the big tent of the Chinese army, an orc general cursed angrily: "Marshal, why do you want to cancel the siege? Please order, I will lead the Ox warriors to the top of the city first! ”

"Your rhinos were burned, but your head was kicked by a rhino."

Another thin werewolf officer said disdainfully: "Without the cover of siege equipment, those warriors of yours will become dead soldiers before they reach the city." ”

The orc general was Loki, the leader of the Rhino Knights, and when he heard this, he was furious: "Fritsch, I want to duel with you!" ”

"Nonsense!"

Coach Reddis slammed the table, "Are you a scoundrel or a general of the Empire?" Now I don't think about how to take the city, and I still fight like a woman. What is the crime?! ”

"Yes, Marshal. We were wrong! The two generals were obedient and immediately admitted their mistakes.

Reddis nodded, swept his gaze over the faces of the generals, and said in a deep voice: "Last night's night attack caused us to lose a lot of siege equipment and grain and grass, and now we are facing two problems. First, siege equipment, which must immediately make use of existing conditions to make ladders and trebuchets for attack; The other is to fight quickly and not delay, otherwise we will not have enough food. ”

"Yes. Marshal wise! The generals responded in unison.

"Alright. Don't say it's useless. ”

Edith's face turned straight: "Loki, immediately lead your warriors to the nearby mountains to cut down trees." Prepare to make trebuchets and siege ladders. Fritsch, take your men to the surrounding villages and towns to gather food, and the others will be ready. Get ready for battle! ”

"Yes!" All intersections answered. Split up. In the blink of an eye, Reddish was the only one left in the tent.

He slowly made his way to the tent door, and looked at the city of Lancaith in front of him. There was a complicated look in his eyes: "This Count Bell...... How come you've never heard of it before? ”

"This time, let him see how powerful the lord is!"

At the head of Lancaith City, a special operator shouted very proudly, "Didn't that Reddish say that he had never been defeated? Give them a taste of failure this time! ”

"Don't be careless. Now those orcs must be frantically rushing to make siege engines, and the big war could start at any moment. A special operations team leader next to him reminded.

"Why don't we do one more night raid and burn him again?" The team member asked.

"But you can't do it again, you think those orcs are briskets, let you slaughter?" The squad leader was happy.

Standing at the head of the city, you can see that in the orc camp far away, one after another trebuchets are being made, although these improvised trebuchets are not necessarily very good, but they can still be used to launch stones, as for the food shortage...... For professional soldiers, this only makes them attack more violently. Hathaway didn't think it was time to decide the winner. So, having gained precious time, she immediately organized the city's inhabitants to build bomb shelters - not to protect against modern planes and artillery, of course, but to protect against stray arrows and flying stones. As long as the stray arrow is not directly hit, even if it is dropped from the sky, the danger is not great. But if the flying rock falls, the destructive power is quite terrifying, so when she instructed those people to build the bomb shelter, she not only took fire prevention measures, but also combined the characteristics of modern architecture. To be precise, under her guidance, an air-raid shelter was created where the soldiers could hide, and once the battle began, they could quickly return to the city......

It took only one morning for more than a hundred large trebuchets to appear outside the city, and there were more than a dozen tall orc warriors next to each trebuchet, and the archers were guarding them, even if they used magic, it was difficult to hit the target so far.

Call! Call! Call! Call......

With the roar of the war drums, hundreds of stones crossed the parabola in the air and shot into the city, and the lightest of these stones were dozens of later, but whenever a house was hit, it immediately turned into powder. Fortunately, Hathaway urged the officials of the city hall to make careful preparations, and the residents of the city had already moved into the city, so there were no casualties for the time being.

Most of the soldiers were evacuated to the air-raid shelters, except for a few soldiers who were in charge of the lookout, one soldier had his head cut off by the falling stones, and several others were injured by the flying debris as they fell.

"Order our catapults to fight back!" Hathaway ordered.

Originally, she planned to order the snipers of the special operations team to attack, but considering that the sniper rifle was still a secret weapon, it was too early to reveal it now, so she endured it again.

Just when she gave an order, the trebuchets in the city also began to exert their might, and a piece of flying stones roared and fell towards the enemy formation, the first wave and the second wave were also a deterrent, and when the third wave of flying stones arrived, the firing distance had begun to be adjusted, and the three orc trebuchets were smashed to pieces, and more than a dozen orc warriors suffered from the disaster of the pond fish, screaming and falling, and blood splashed.

The height of the city wall directly determines the height of the field of view of the lookout and the fixed release hand squatting behind the battlement, and they can aim in detail on the tall wall of Lancaith City, calculate, and then notify the trebuchet under the city to eject. And in order to continue fighting, in addition to soldiers, the army also recruited a large number of young and strong people to help. These people may be worse at killing the enemy, but under the guidance of well-trained soldiers, there is no problem in operating trebuchets. For a while, those orc trebuchets were suppressed, and some trebuchets were destroyed by flying stones fired from the city, bringing a large number of casualties.

"Hehe, those orcs have suffered another big loss, tomorrow they are afraid that they will move the trebuchet's position forward, otherwise they will not be able to inflict a severe blow on us at all." Bi Lin. Hegel said.

"Wrong, you're underestimating them too much."

Hathaway said, "I expect that the orcs will go to great lengths to move the trebuchet forward now, even at the risk of destruction. ”

She gestured to the army of orcs in the distance.

The people beside him looked at each other, and saw that in the orc army in the distance, the handsome clan who was held high seemed to be moving forward, and the long horn sounded in the military formation.

"They're getting ready to do it!" Sicconi. Sheldon shouted, "We'll have to prepare!" ”

He and the commander of the city defense army, Thomas. Hauke hurried down the city, and there were already groups of soldiers in high gear, because of the success of the night attack last night, the morale of the soldiers was lifted from frustration, and they were ready to climb the city at any time to compete with the attacking enemy. The exaltation of the soldiers also affected Thomas. Hauke, he said to Siccone. Sheldon said: "Every time the orcs invade, many families are torn apart, and all the people of Zimbuwe hate them, but they are also feared, and this is the first time I have seen them so full of fighting spirit! ”

"Brothers!"

Thomas. Hauke shouted, "Do you agree that the orcs have invaded the city of Lancaith and are ready to kill your fathers and elders, and to take your wives captive and make them slaves and slaves for all eternity?" ”

"Disagree!"

"So what should I do?"

"Kill !! them"

"Good! Fight! ”

Thomas. Hauk waved his arms and gave the order, and the warriors immediately followed their training and rushed quickly to the top of the city.

The soldiers stood energetically behind the battlements, the crossbowmen entered the towers, and Hathaway stood behind the battlements, looking down into the city.

The orc army has been dispatched, and the infantry phalanx, lined up one by one, holding high all kinds of banners, like a mountain, slowly pouring towards Lanches City. Before this, she had imagined the scene of the battle between the two armies countless times, and felt how passionate and proud she was, but now that she was really there, she felt very bland. It's as if she's on her first mission in the SWAT unit, and at the moment of the first shot, her mind is very clear, and she is this strange character that the more pressure she has, the more calm she can deal with. Hathaway firmly believes that these subordinates who live and die with him, and the determination of the soldiers and civilians in Lancais, will definitely be able to repel the attack of the orcs.

The first wave of the orc's attack was dominated by the usual rush carts and ladders, sixteen elaborate rush carts, the roofs covered with cowhide, slowly moving forward under the push and pull of the orc warriors. However, they were certainly not the protagonists of this wave of offensives, as a fifty-meter-wide moat beneath the city kept a heavy siege weapon out of the city walls.

The original lord of the city took advantage of the riverside of Lancais, so the moat was dug so wide. Hathaway was extremely grateful for the previous city lord who had tripled the moat at the cost of manpower. This can be regarded as the predecessors planting trees, and the descendants enjoying the shade.

The average moat is only about 20 meters, which is already second to none. But judging from the actual battle examples of the orcs, this kind of moat is not very difficult to overcome. However, the fifty-meter-wide moat was like a real river, and under this man-made moat, it was difficult for any kind of siege heavy weapon to exert its power, and I really wondered why the Count Platini was so unconfident.
