Chapter 12 The Night Battle in the Mountains, the Wind and the Clouds
The mighty group of men rushed to the northwestern mountains in one go, and as soon as they arrived at their destination, the soldiers measured the outer circle of the cave, and then began to build temporary fortifications: thick and strong planks, sealed with iron bars, and then held against them with stable logs so that they could not be easily broken, and the planks had barbs turned outwards to prevent the orcs from climbing.
A little inward was quickly erected a makeshift arrow tower and watchtower, with a large opening in the middle of the wall, leaving two openings on either side that could only accommodate a half-orc. The strongest warriors guard these entrances with shields, preventing orcs from breaking the walls at any cost. The inner ring also provides cover for ranged classes. Everything was done by those soldiers, who were well-trained and methodical, which made He Ming awe-inspired.
There may be a concentration of Orcs in the whole of Beechcraft, and those who go in to explore will have to be rewarded, and it is impossible to leave before dark. Therefore, it is inevitable that the people guarding outside will have a fierce battle with the orcs.
While the soldiers were busy, the leader of the Liu Sect and a dozen adventurers who just looked like elites walked into the half-orc cave. He Ming proposed to follow in, he wanted to study the murals and texts, but Liu Jiaotou motioned for him to stay outside, obviously not wanting to put him in danger. He Ming stayed outside and built a defense with the soldiers.
Anyway, he was always worried about Liu Jiaotou and them. The only thing worth consoling is that they have already discussed it, there is nothing valuable to discover, and they will leave here the next day, otherwise it will be a boundless wait. However, the people outside don't have to worry about too many people going in, because as it gets late, what these people outside the cave have to face is what they really need to worry about at the moment.
As the last rays of sunlight disappeared, the night of the moon was unusually bright, and at the beginning, the orcs slowly gathered towards the entrance of the cave, and then immediately discovered the situation, and then immediately let out a howl after discovering the anomaly, just like a wolf, the howl immediately called the other orcs, and when one or two half-orcs forcibly tried to break in through the gap, several warriors solved it with their knives: the arrows carried by the archers and the magic power of the mages were limited, and they were not used when they were not necessary.
The other orcs realized that this was not a simple prey, but a war, and the reckless attack in everyone's minds did not appear, and with the howl of the orcs, more and more orcs surrounded this side.
He Ming looked at it, and couldn't tell how many there were, hundreds or even thousands? No one has the heart to count the number of these monsters, and all that is left to do now is to go all out and fight a bloody battle. As for whether to win or lose in the end, that's not something that the warriors of the Fama Continent worry about! Fortunately, the people who were ready to charge were ordinary orcs, and the dark-skinned orc warriors were far away from the role of commanders.
With a loud howl not far away, the black-pressed orcs finally rushed towards this side in full force, at first they were forced to rush in through the deliberately left gap, but this strong charge was immediately resolved by the warriors who were waiting for it. And more orcs can only wait and see, and the other orcs who can't rush in are staring, and there is no way to take those solid temporary defenses for the time being. Some orc warriors began to throw stones or javelins at the front line, and the shields and cover of the prepared warriors made these attacks ineffective.
Eventually, the orcs began to rage as the casualties increased, and under the command of some high-ranking guys, those cannon fodder-like orcs began to desperately attack the wall. The long barbs of the wall had taken a toll on the monsters, and after they made a fearful motion, the ferocious orcs from behind rushed up, gave a furious order to the weaker orcs, and kicked an orc who was trying to escape into the wall, hanging on the barbs above.
The other orcs had finally begun to attack the wall with all sorts of things, and it was clear that these orcs were more afraid of their commander than they were dead. Under the attack of a large number of orcs, the strong wall finally collapsed. With the exception of some particularly strong fortifications, most of them were breached. The orcs, who had been suppressed for a long time, flocked to the human front like a tidal wave.
A soldier confronts an orc. One-on-one with a half-orc in a place with plenty of space, these warriors can basically ensure victory. But now they are behind the position, and they can't dodge, they can only fight hard. He swung his machete and slashed at the enemy one by one, not retreating. Grabbed the gap and finally slipped open the belly of this half-orc, and just as I saw it fall, the other one squeezed up!
The warriors had already suffered casualties, and the wounded were immediately replaced by others who came up to him, and one fell and immediately went up to the other. But even so, within half an hour, there was a gap in the warriors' defenses, and these monsters rushed towards the protected archers and mages like crazy, but fortunately there was a mountain behind them, and they had no way to retreat, otherwise the formation would have been scattered long ago.
The replaced and wounded warrior quickly rejoined the battle with full treatment from the Taoist priest, but by this time there was no way to turn the situation around.
He Ming hurriedly swung his sword and killed a half-orc who rushed past him and rushed towards the mage, and when he turned around, he found that the situation was even worse: the people who came up just now were just ordinary half-orcs, and now many dark-skinned half-orcs have also joined the battle group, these guys are infinitely powerful, and it is impossible to use their identities to maneuver around in the scene of being surrounded, and they can't stand these monster warriors at all. The archers' quivers are empty, and the mages' magic seems to be running out.
In this moment of despair, the orcs clearly had the chance to win. I saw the half-orcs behind split a way from the middle, and an extremely tall half-orc wearing heavy armor and holding a metal giant axe walked out triumphantly!
Half-orc warriors! He Ming has read its story in ancient books, the orcs with their respective territories still have a certain connection with each other, through violence to select warriors, when the need arises, the warriors can gather their own fighting orcs into an army, all orcs must obey unconditionally. Warriors are only allowed to challenge at certain times, and the orc who wins will inherit weapons and armor from the pool of blood.
When I finished screaming in my heart, a voice came from behind: "Finally appeared!" Open! The warriors in front of the formation left to make way of the gap and let the owner of the voice pass, and there was a noise from the crowd: "Wind! Clouds! When He Ming turned around to look, he saw two people tearing off their cloaks and killing them directly through the gap! One of the fast ones should be the blast wind, and the other one is obviously holding an extremely heavy weapon in his hand, and the speed is a little slower.
The Wind approached the Orc Warrior before the Orcs could react, while Liuyun was intercepted by several Orcs who reacted. At this time, He Ming was inspired by their spirits, his blood was boiling, and he rushed out of the gap with a swing of his sword. He ran to the orcs who had intercepted Liuyun, and with a few swishes, he drew the attention of the orcs to himself, and Liuyun took the opportunity to rush over to support the wind.
The orcs were obviously furious, and each waved their weapons to attack He Ming, who was already under siege at this moment. At this time, he was enthusiastic, and he really dared to come over as many times as he could, and in an instant he slashed horizontally with his long sword, and the half-moon scimitar that he had not fully mastered was used. But He Ming was still a novice after all, and this move was very different from what Liu Jiaotou used at that time, fortunately, the sword qi that shot out blocked the half-orcs in several directions, so that He Ming was shocked backwards, and he was not immediately killed by the half-orcs.
And in this electric light and flint, the moon rises in the well in the wind hand, and the knife light dances wildly, really like a full moon streamer, fast and ruthless. The half-orc warrior has heavy weapons, and he is a little embarrassed to parry, but the heavy armor on his body is extremely thick, and the giant axe is also powerful and threatening, and the wind can't help him for a while. If you delay any longer, it will be a problem for the other orcs to surround you.
Storm said as he snorted, "I'm all right, what about you?" At this time, Liuyun also rushed to this side, and the other orcs reacted and gathered in this direction. He said, "I'm not as fast as you!" "When the half-orc warrior was using his axe to block Jing Zhongyue's blow, he held Purgatory in both hands, and with a loud shout, the double-edged axe cut a blood-red fire mark in the air: Flame Sword Technique! This time the weapon of the half-beast warrior was entangled in the wind and could not be blocked, only to see that the blood-red purgatory cut the chest armor of the half-beast warrior like cutting tofu, and as soon as the axe passed, the half-beast warrior immediately fell to the ground, without even struggling a few times.
Some of the strong orcs leaned in this direction, looking ready to snatch the warrior's great axe. Liuyun moved his axe like flying, and he was like no one among the orcs, shouting while fighting: "Go support that kid, don't let him hang up to help me!" ”
The wind had already rushed in He Ming's direction, and while cutting down a half-orc, he said, "You are faster when you use your mouth!" "Here He Ming forcibly used the half-moon scimitar to be shocked, the mixed bones hurt, and he had no strength to fight again, and he was almost fatal when he forcibly dodged, and he was pumped by the beast bones again, and he was about to die. The wind killed at this time, and killed the orcs who were chasing He Ming like chopping melons and vegetables. Together, they then run towards Liuyun and help Liuyun kill several orc warriors who tried to retrieve the Warrior Tomahawk.
Finally, the seemingly continuous onslaught of the orcs came to an end. If they can't grab the axe, they don't have a leader who can give orders immediately, and although there are many of them, they are already a mess. Soon, except for a few orcs who were still unclear about the situation, the others began to slowly retreat and leave the battlefield.
