Chapter 387: Breaking the City
Don't think that the orcs are all hairy creatures that drink blood...... At least in the Titan world, the orc civilization is definitely capable of throwing the African civilization out of a few streets. However, due to historical reasons, the orcs have been living in the bitter cold northwest, and for a long time, the history of the orc empire is a history of fighting with the sky, the earth, and the surrounding human countries.
In the minds of the orcs, although the Ordga Empire is huge, it is like a big tree whose roots and interior have been hollowed out by corruption, and as long as you work hard, you can deduce it...... Sure enough, in the initial battle, the Orc Empire swept through most of Zimbwe Province, and all the gains in this rich land belonged to them, and the prospects seemed to be promising. Even if the front line is stalemate, and the rear is harassed by the Imperial army, they firmly believe in it.
However, the combat effectiveness of the army in front of them was completely different from the imperial troops they had heard of, and Danmo City was probably unable to hold it...... The orc's entanglement disappeared after only a spell, because they had to defend it if they didn't want to, because the Fourth Barbarian Brigade led by Moko had already arrived and launched an attack on the city of Tammore.
Although the Barbarian Brigade is a hoplite, it really doesn't take much effort to attack Danmo City...... When the city of Danmo fell, the city walls were destroyed by Yan zhòng, although the orcs had also repaired the city walls before, but before it could be completed, the Cordillera city defense had arrived, forcing the orcs to suspend the repair of the wall.
Before its fall, the city of Tammore was the third largest city in the province of Zimblewe. The city defense is strong, but the current level of defense is not much stronger than that of ordinary towns, and it is simply a target prepared for barbarians.
Taking advantage of the fact that the orcs defending the city were attracted by the fierce barbarian hoplites, the flying squadron immediately began to strike in the air, tear gas, bursting bombs, and incendiary bombs, which were thrown on the walls of Danmo City in turn, and then covered with a rain of arrows.
If exploding bombs and incendiary bombs brought death to the orcs, then tear gas bombs almost destroyed their fighting power and will to fight, and when the city walls were in chaos, dozens of magic apprentices were under the cover of hoplites. Wield the magic stored in the Magic Scrolls and Magic Gems. Launch a fierce assault on the walls.
In a loud rumbling bang, the walls shook, and a dozen collapsed, although some of the unlucky orc soldiers dodged the blast of the blasting bombardment. but was buried in the collapsed city wall.
"Kill~"
Moko immediately gave the order to siege the city. The barbarian hoplites did not wait for the smoke to clear. He roared and rushed to the breach, swinging his huge mace and slashing it in, and the orcs, who had always been known for their physical strength, were attacked by the barbarians. Weaker than humans, the orcs were shocked to find that the battle had entered its fiercest and final stage of street fighting when the smoke that had completely cleared the walls.
Fighting is the nature of barbarians, so they don't pay attention to any cover combat, as soon as they rush into the city wall, they begin to attack everywhere to divide and kill the effective resistance of the orcs. Thankfully, the apprentices had undergone similar training when they were trained, and they carried with them a magic potion called fossil powder. This potion is of little use to humans or animals, but it is surprisingly destructive to earth-and-stone buildings. Even if the enemy closes the gap in time, he will not be able to close it.
Although the orcs are not very proficient in urban warfare, they also know that the best way to stop the enemy from entering the city is to close the gaps in the walls. However, their efforts were quickly ruined by waves of arrows, and although the flying squadron did not participate in street fighting, it was still easy to hold a dozen gaps, and after being repulsed for the fourth time, the orcs had realized that their efforts had been in vain, and morale began to fade rapidly.
Kill! Kill! Kill!
Kill all these ugly orcs!
Moko was already excited, and the blood of war in the bones of the barbarians began to boil.
The priests of the army cast berserk and bloodlust on the warriors, and the barbarians at the front of the charge roared loudly, their eyes red, and like furious beasts, they swung their maces and charged at the orcs.
The free-handed flying squadron divided into several groups to attack the orcs, driving them towards the front of the barbarians...... These orcs were like straw in front of the rampaging savages, either flattened by maces or thrown into the air.
The Magical Apprentices, stationed in the gaps in the walls, are the Cordillera's precious resources and must not be missed.
In front of the Cordillera city defenses, which had absolute firepower superiority, the brave resistance of the orcs was meaningless, and they fell on the way forward one after another, although they were still fighting, but the result was no longer in suspense.
After three magical hours, the organized resistance in Danmore had stopped.
Danmo City, which had just finished a battle, was filled with a strong smell of blood, the barbarians fought too cruelly, there were very few intact corpses under the mace, and these guys had always been killed and buried.
The cavalry brigade, which had just finished the pursuit battle, took the initiative to take on the task of cleaning up the battlefield, otherwise there would be no way for this Danmo City to settle down. However, after three spells, the main force of the Cordillera City Defense arrived in Tammore City and began the first major rest of the battle behind enemy lines, and Hathaway's headquarters arrived at the same time.
Hathaway, Barthes. Willy, Jayfa. Troon, Siccone. Sheldon and the others wandered around the city of Tammore after the war.
"There is still a set of barbarians besieging the city, and Captain Cancy's cavalry and Captain Sheldon's flying squadron are also doing well."
Hathaway turned to a well-mannered young man and said, "Featon, you draft a commendation order, and the whole army will report to the three brigades. ”
Feyton, a new clerk in the Lord's Palace, is also from the base, although only eighteen years old, but clear-minded, quick-witted, is a descendant of a down-and-out nobleman in the Alpine Kingdom, before entering the base, he has a certain foundation, after a period of training, he helped draft the essay by Hathaway's side.
"Yes." Fayton immediately responded.
"How's the casualty?" Hathaway looked at Barthes. Willie.
"Fortunately, the cavalry brigade lost sixty people and nearly two hundred wounded, but it was not serious."
Barthes. Willy said dissatisfiedly: "The barbarians have only wounded a hundred people, and the number of casualties is less than ten, compared to the casualty ratio of the cavalry brigade, which is still too great. ”
"It can't be compared. Both sides are not on the same starting line by nature. Hathaway smiled, "The bodies of the dead will be cremated, and they will be transported back to the Cordillera Plateau together, and all the bereavement benefits will be preferred, and the families of the deceased will be investigated, and what can be satisfied should be as satisfied as possible." ”
"The next thing we have to pay attention to is the enemy's flying troops, although our flying units are in an advantage compared to the orcs, but the combat effectiveness of the orcs should not be underestimated." Hathaway reminded.
"After more than ten days of fighting, we have eliminated dozens of orc flying knights, and their combat effectiveness is not very good." Jafa. Troon was somewhat unimpressed.
"Don't underestimate those orc flying races, their main elites are on the front line, and those who stay in the rear are just for patrolling, so their strength is naturally not strong!" Hathaway found that after a series of assaults, the special operations captain got a little carried away.
"Yes, sir, I was wrong." Jafa. Troon was shocked when he heard the stern warning in Hathaway's words, and quickly admitted his mistake.
"There's a piece of information I just got, but it hasn't been reported yet, and my lord asked me to introduce it to you here."
Cecia, who has just arrived. Hughes said: "According to the latest information, because of the orc empire's high priest Daman. Fox & Liszt. The Rhine did not have a good relationship, and because of the disagreement over the strategic objectives, he stayed in the military camp near the city of Zimbwe in a fit of anger. ”
As soon as the news came out, everyone's faces turned gloomy.
Unlike other races, the Great Sacrifice of the Orc Empire is so powerful that it has its own direct troops.
And Dammam. Fawkes is now the patriarch of the fox clan in the Orc Empire, one of the hardline main battle factions, and the number one enemy of the empire.
Let's not talk about Dammam. Fawkes's own strength, if his troops and people launched a counter-assault on the Cordillera City Defenses, it would be a terrible disaster for the Cordillera City Defenses.
"The intelligence services have already launched a reconnaissance with the help of a qiē method, and it is important to obtain Dammam before our large force enters the area of Zimbuwe City. Fox's detailed information. ”
Hathaway smiled, "You don't have to worry, even if he comes with an elite, he may not be our opponent, we also have hole cards that we haven't shown." ”
"Dammam. Fox is already old, if he really dares to strike, our special combat team is fully sure, let him have no return! "Jayfar. Troon boasted.
"What a cowhide."
Alia. Forgu muttered in the back, "What is completely certain, isn't it a new weapon invented by Hathaway?" But that great sacrifice is not an ordinary martial artist, how can it be so easy to be defeated? ”
Her voice was not loud, but it was heard by every officer who surrounded Hathaway.
Oh! I see! If only there was a way!
The confidence of the commanders of the Cordillera City Defence. Immediately, it was like a deflated balloon being blown up again. The bulge swelled.
"Alia!"
Jafa. Troon was dissatisfied: "Watch what you should say and what you shouldn't say!" ”
Alia. Forgu's eyes rolled and he was about to retort, but Hathaway stopped them: "Alright! Barthes. Willy, please make a comprehensive inventory of all equipment, weapons, supplies, and supplies. (To be continued......)
