"General! The gate mechanism is broken! ”

"What?!"

Zhao Pan's face changed when he heard this.

The surprise caught him off guard.

"How could it be broken?!"

The soldiers obviously couldn't answer this question.

Therefore, the answer at this time was given by a goblin engineer who accompanied the army.

"When the city gate was rising just now, those orcs didn't stop hitting the city gate, I'm afraid that a gear inside the mechanism was broken."

"The worst thing is that looking at the current situation, the fragments of that gear are probably still stuck in the middle of the other gears, resulting in this city gate not being able to rise or fall now!"

Listen to the goblin engineer's explanation.

Zhao Pan didn't have time to think about it, and hurriedly commanded the Terran infantry troops to retreat.

At the same time, signal the rhinos and elephant men waiting on both sides of the city gate to go up and stop the advance of the orc troops! They must not be allowed to rush in in one go.

The thick-skinned rhinoceros were fearless, and as the infantry retreated, they launched a powerful charge directly at the influx of orcs.

In the face of the rhinoceros man's full-tonnage charging attack, the werewolves and wild boar people, with only a shield in their hands, are obviously impossible to resist.

A round of extremely strong collision directly caused obvious casualties to the orc troops who rushed in frantically!

The rhinoceros man's charge with his own weight can be said to be outstanding.

Even the bear man on the opposite side is estimated to be unable to resist head-on.

Not to mention the werewolves and boar people who are completely inferior to them in tonnage.

However, after this, the rhino people who ran headfirst into the enemy orc forces soon found themselves in a bad situation.

What is the biggest advantage of the rhino people?

It's because they're full of tonnage and thick skin!

But what is helpless is that this advantage extends an irreparable disadvantage.

That is, they are not flexible, or very bulky.

Especially after storming into enemy formations......

To put it simply, it can be understood that after the opening round of charging offensives, once it enters the grappling phase, the positioning of the rhinoceros man will directly transform into a meat shield that unilaterally absorbs damage.

The bulky body makes it difficult for them to engage in any flexible combat.

Thankfully, they're not the only ones in this fight.

The elephant people, who were ready to attack, then wielded their maces and killed them.

It is a mountain town with an extremely important geographical location.

Luo Ji's original plan was to build a big city.

The height of the city wall was raised to more than fifteen meters in one breath.

At this moment, he should really be glad about his decision.

Otherwise, it is really difficult for this city gate area to accommodate the elephant people of the lower ten meters level, and they will fight here.

The battle at the gates was scorching again.

The forces of both sides are constantly squeezing each other in this limited space.

At this moment, the rhinoceros people who are squeezed in the middle will naturally not just sit still.

One by one, they all tried their best to attack the enemy.

Although they are bulky, they are not weak.

As long as the attack successfully hits the enemy, it will inevitably deal definite damage!

Activating the 'morale-boosting' skill, Zhao Pan quickly pulled a wave of morale, so as to enhance the combat effectiveness of the defending troops.

The failure of the gate mechanism has once again put the battle in a terrible situation of depleting each other's troops.

This is a situation that he is very unwilling to see.

However, there are advantages.

As the defenders of the city, they can fully enjoy the triple effect of his 'immobile as a mountain' talent.

The first effect is that the morale level will never drop below 60 points.

The second effect is that the garrison troops under his command increase their combat power by 40%.

And this third effect has a 40% chance of dropping the morale of the besieging troops by one level!

In the current situation, the key depends on whether he can trigger his third talent effect.

Forty percent of the time, say high or not, low or not.

As soon as the morale of this orc force drops, their chance will come.

There were rhinoceros and elephant people in the front row who were injured, and with Wang Kai and Huang Bai as the tip of the knife, Zhao Pan decisively commanded the infantry troops to rush up and assist in the battle.

The scuffle at the city gate intensified.

Unlike the orc troops, which have been completely chaotic, the soldiers of the Terran troops have received professional military training.

Now, under the command and mobilization of Zhao Pan, the Terran troops that maintain the formation are becoming more and more stable.

Coupled with the combat power blessing of Zhao Pan's talent BUFF.

Over time.

Vaguely, there is a momentum to press back!

On the other hand, the orcs as the attacker side.

Unable to break through the opposing defenses, they rushed into the city to kill the orcs.

The mood is obviously starting to get irritable.

This bad state will gradually ferment over time.

Successive attacks, but slow to reap the results.

The rise of this emotion made the will of many orcs begin to waver.

As a rhinoceros man on the front line.

Xi Yanshan could clearly feel that the offensive strength of these orcs was weakening.

Even faintly, there has been a little bit of defeat.

This feeling is definitely not Xi Yanshan's illusion.

Zhao Pan, who was also aware of this situation, decisively commanded the troops under his command and strengthened the attack.

In the face of the sudden onslaught of their defenders.

The orc troops, who had been blocking the city gate and would not retreat to the death, began to retreat with the fall of morale.

In the current situation, Zhao Pan naturally will not be polite to them.

With the troops under his command, he chased and killed nearly a thousand kilometers all the way.

It wasn't until the orc troops had completely fled that they gathered their forces and returned to the mountain city of the Northlands.

He then signaled the uninjured elephant and rhino men to stand guard at the gates of the city for the time being.

At the same time, the goblin engineers in the city hurriedly called over and asked them to repair the city gate.

The volume of the gate is there.

Even if there is a small problem, it will take a lot of time to fix it.

The actual damage to the gate was as the goblin engineer had guessed.

It was indeed a broken gear stuck between the other two gears.

Considering various circumstances, the goblin engineers undoubtedly have prepared various spare gears of different sizes in advance, which can be regarded as emergency parts.

But even so, it was not until late in the evening that the entire gate was completely repaired.

And during this period, Zhao Pan will naturally not be idle.

This wave of city defense battles, although there were some accidents.

But judging by the results, they undoubtedly inflicted heavy losses on the orc troops on the opposite side.

This is a great opportunity to turn the tables around.

Therefore, he did not hesitate to give the order.

Let the elven rangers and fox guerrillas who have nourished their spirits in the city immediately set off and chase them along the way.

Pursue the defeated orc forces in follow-up.

I will send the ten more to the alliance leader's 'sponge sponge', and thank you for the monthly passes of the book friends 'Xiaojun' and 'Shao Zhen'!
