"Chapter 30: The Bloody Battle of the Fortress VIII"
When sleeping, the mind either ignores external stimuli or uses dreams to deny its existence, or "weaves vivid lies" to prolong sleep as much as possible. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info Therefore, we can also think of the "desire to sleep" as one of the motivations for dreams, and every dream is the fulfillment of this desire.
—Sigmund Freud (Austrian Jewish psychologist, psychiatrist, founder of the psychoanalytic school)
Shortly after breakfast time, Darren's 3rd Brigade and Lennon's 4th Brigade took over the defense of the walls, while Bonella's 1st Brigade and Carroll's 2nd Brigade returned to the barracks behind the walls to recuperate, and Ward's logistics brigade was left behind.
As the only long-range unit of the 7th Wing, the three Cretan archers of the Logistics Brigade were of great importance in defensive operations, so while the other brigades took turns to rest, the Cretan archers could only stay on the watchtower.
Fortunately, these three teams of Cretan archers are all special troops summoned from the Great Temple of Apollo, and their combat effectiveness and adaptability to the environment are much stronger than ordinary soldiers, and it is not unacceptable for them to continue fighting for a short time.
In addition to the three teams of Cretan archers who stood on the watchtower, the other 350 soldiers of the logistics brigade took on the task of carrying the materials for the defense of the city...... Countless weapons were put on the city walls.
The defenders in the fortress still have the terrifying fire oil to use, which is Bai Feng's most coveted defensive weapon, but helplessly, the city wall, where melee battles often break out, has long been destroyed by the hanging bars that erect the fire oil, and the fire oil cannot be used at all.
Even more valuable than dead things such as fire oil, rolling stones, and sassal wood are living magicians, these battlefield reapers from the magic forces of the Imperial military, who only need to stand on the city walls and calmly release all kinds of magic, and the attacking orc army will pay a very heavy price.
However, the entire Sunset Fortress totaled only four or five hundred magicians, and all of them were assigned by the Duke of Gna to the royal legions guarding the four main fortresses, and the fortieth legion, where the Seventh Wing was located, was not eligible for the assistance of magicians.
In fact, even if Bai Feng could send a group of spellcasters from Rome City to assist the Seventh Wing in guarding the city walls, after the first battle, the casters whose strength was equivalent to that of an intermediate magician would definitely be taken away by Duke Gna who learned the news.
Centralizing all mages to the four Royal Legions to strengthen the defenses of the four main forts and ensure that the four main forts at the heart of Sunset Fortress are not lost, which is the core of Duke Gna's defensive plan and is a rule that all legions must follow.
There was no magician who waved his hand to destroy the enemy, and there was no fire oil with amazing lethality, Bai Feng, who was full of bitterness in his heart, could only ask the soldiers of the logistics brigade to bring in as many rolling stones and sassalwood as possible; although the lethality of the rolling stones and sassalwood was far inferior to magic and fire oil, it was better than nothing.
After the stones were carried onto the walls, the soldiers of the 3rd and 4th Brigades carried the heavy stones up the empty space between the two battlements, and the sassal logs, which were used to destroy the ladders, were erected on the battlements and could be quickly smashed down with a single push.
Looking at the busy soldiers in the intense preparations, Bai Feng, who always felt that something was missing, couldn't tell what was wrong, until an accidentally soldier kicked over a kettle while moving wood, and the water flowing out of the kettle reminded Bai Feng.
Asphalt can be used to assist soldiers in defending the city wall! As one of the main raw materials of fire oil, the easily burning asphalt is a big killer in defending the city, and the fire oil is one of the main weapons to defend the fortress, and there must be a large amount of asphalt in the fortress!
Bai Feng, who reacted, immediately took Bai Yi and Bai Er to the logistics location of the legion in the fortress, and asked for a full five hundred barrels of asphalt from the hands of the logistics officer;
Five hundred barrels of sealed high-grade asphalt can definitely make the orc army attacking the right wing city wall pay a terrible price, and Bai Feng, who showed excitement on his face, asked the soldiers of the fourth brigade to fall all the hundred barrels of asphalt down the city wall as soon as he returned to the right wing city wall!
As soon as the barrels of asphalt were opened, a foul, pungent smell filled the air, and soon the barrels of viscous black liquid were toppled down the walls of the city by the soldiers who were frowning and holding their breath, and fell to the grass outside the walls.
After a hundred barrels of asphalt were poured outside the city walls, a pungent smell permeated the entire city wall, forcing the soldiers stationed at the city wall to cover their faces with a layer of black gauze to isolate the unpleasant smell.
The morning was calm, making Bai Feng a little confused about the intentions of the orc army outside the city, according to the convention, today should be the day when the orc army will attack Sunset Fortress with all their might, why haven't they started to assemble an army yet?
It is a well-known fact that orc warriors are not able to fight in the field due to their normal night blindness, so if the orc army wants to launch an all-out attack, it must gather their army in the early morning and attack in the morning, otherwise they will not even have the slightest chance of victory.
Bai Feng didn't believe that the orc army would easily give up the attack on the Sunset Fortress, you must know that they had assembled an army of 1.5 million outside the fortress, even if it was an orc empire with all the soldiers, it would not be easy to assemble an army of this size!
Since the Orc Empire had gathered so many troops to attack Sunset Fortress for months, it was impossible for them to end the war in a hurry, and the only reason that could explain the Orc's move was that the commander of the Orc army must have something else in mind!
The commander of the orc army seemed to be aware of the worries of the generals of the Celestial Dragon Empire, and less than half an hour after lunchtime, the orc army outside the city began to slowly assemble again, and the endless orc army made the defenders on the city wall tingle when they saw it.
This time, the orc army that attacked the twelfth fortress was only about 35,000 orc warriors as Bai Feng and others expected, and among these 35,000 orc warriors, there were relatively few strong orcs such as tiger people, lion people, and leopard people, and most of them were pig warriors.
The soldiers of the 7th Wing, who were waiting for the battle, only had to face the attack of more than 4,000 orc warriors, and the 3rd and 4th Brigades, which had received a large number of veterans of the city defense army, showed composure when they faced the orc army again, which made Bai Feng, who was concerned about them, very satisfied.
Unlike the helpless shot in yesterday's battle, Bai Feng, who let go of his hands and feet, took out the Starfall Divine Bow in the White Spirit Ring when the orc army advanced to a distance of five hundred meters from the city wall, and began to hunt and kill the orc warriors who charged forward with one after another Starfall Chasing Wind Arrows.
When the first Starfall Wind Chasing Arrow was fired, this silver light, which had been displayed yesterday's might, was immediately recognized by the soldiers of the defenders on the city wall, and the soldiers whose morale was instantly high immediately raised their arms excitedly and shouted: "The general is mighty!"
The new slogan "The general is mighty, the Seventh Wing will win!" was shouted out by Huade's spiritual power.
"The general is mighty, the Seventh Wing will win!" "The general is mighty, the Seventh Wing will win!" ......
Immediately, all the soldiers of the 7th Wing on the city wall chanted this brand-new slogan, and even the veterans of the city defense army who had just joined the 7th Wing last night were chanting this slogan at this moment, and there was no difference between the city defense army and the 7th wing at all.
