Chapter 36: The General Offensive Begins

While the humans desperately tried to strengthen the defenses of Odessa in fear, the Grand Chieftain Sarufar and the other chieftains were watching from the hillsides as the mighty armies slaughtered and looted in the human towns.

"The human kingdom is truly rich!" Mang Gurtai drank wine and munched on the fat roast sheep, "There is so much grain in just one town. ”

"Humans are good at farming, their fields produce more food, and their cattle and sheep are fatter." Dai Shan stroked his beard, "That's why I've always opposed humans as military food. Let them be slaves and we can get more. ”

"King Sarufar, there is a weak human who understands our language, and before he dies, he wants to see you, and he says that he will give all his wealth." An orc commander walked into the tent and hesitated to mention it.

"Orcs don't need wealth, orcs only need iron and blood!" Mang Gurtai glared at the commander with disdain, "If he can't do the work, send him for dinner."

"Bring him up." Sarufar waved his hand, "I want to hear what this human has to say. ”

A wizened human was thrown before the Saruphals.

"Human, what's your name?"

"Great Great Chief, I am Gregory, a Bachelor of the Odessa Library, fluent in languages such as orcs and trolls." The lean human mastress fell to his knees, "I will give all my knowledge and loyalty to the great Great Chief. ”

"Orcs don't need human knowledge, orcs have their own battle axes!" Mang Gurtai roared angrily, and the warriors under the tent roared in unison.

"Tell me what the value of your knowledge is?" Ignoring the roars of the orc soldiers, Sarufar looked at the skinny human, "If I'm not satisfied, your bones will be fed to our wolves." ”

"Yes, yes!" Gregory trembled with nervousness, and the orc chieftains in the tent could hear the gurgling of his teeth, "I have three strategies, which can help the king pacify the Odessa region, and even rule the entire kingdom." ”

"Say it."

"The best strategy is to send two large armies, one westward to capture the frozen post of Varna, and to block reinforcements from Constantinople; Another eastward to Wilhelmshaven occupies the Darrenmere River crossing, severing the connection from Sevasto. In this way, the kingdom of mankind will be divided into three, and each other will not be able to care for each other. The army can concentrate on the assault on the city of Odessa. ”

"Hmph." Many orc warriors let out a contemptuous spit.

"The middle strategy is to send the army out in all directions, take Odessa and conquer the towns that have been built, besiege the fortified castles without attacking them, and at the same time concentrate the strongest warriors and lure the human reinforcements to come and annihilate them. The army of the beasts is unparalleled in the world, so there is a stable base, and there is no shortage of food, grass and ordnance; The human army has been repeatedly bloodletted and is bound to not last. ”

"The next step was to gallop the army to the city of Odessa and attack day and night. Once the city is broken, Odessa is the most important city in the kingdom, with hundreds of thousands of inhabitants and countless treasures, and taking the city will be a heavy blow to Romania. It's just that the city of Odessa is well defended, and the army is only afraid of the fortified city...... I'm just afraid ......"

"Hahaha! You tiny human being. Sarufar laughed, "If the human race is as ignorant as you, my 100,000-strong army of the beast clan will be too invincible." Your upper book is the lower policy, and the lower policy is the best policy. I have an army of 100,000 and unparalleled warriors, and this time I went south to plough the court and sweep the caves, take Odessa in one fell swoop, and then wave my army to the west to destroy Constantine. ”

Gregory's face turned pale, and he thought to himself that his life was in danger. But Sarufar didn't think so, and this interpreter would play a role in persuading the human fortress to surrender. He waved his hand: "Take him down, give him food and wine, and let him lead the way for the army in front." ”

……

Rumbling war drums resounded through the wilderness outside Odessa, and an endless army emerged from the skyline and marched towards the city.

"Mang Gurtai! You lead your clan in an assault on that strange fortress outside the city. They can't be allowed to come out and plot with the city of Odessa. "The Great Chief's orders kept coming." The rest of the tribes set up camp and immediately attacked the city. ”

The Behemoths were far behind, their heavy bodies and slow speed preventing them from taking part in the battle in the first place. It also gave time for other clans to scramble for loot.

Wooden shield carts, siege towers, and catapults were built, driven by orc warriors toward the walls.

An army of 100,000 orcs attacked on all fronts and went straight to the city of Odessa.

At this moment, a hint from the plane world suddenly came.

"The mission of the regiment has been completed. The city of Odessa was not lost in 15 days. Continuing this quest will increase your quest evaluation and the difficulty of the quest.

Please confirm if you want to continue? Yes/No. ”

Xiao Yan and Sonya's eyes intertwined, and they both chose to continue.

"The difficulty of the group building mission has been increased to B+.

Warning: On this difficulty, you will encounter high-tier enemies. ”

High-tier enemies? Xiao Yan was very surprised, wasn't the 100,000 army in front of him difficult enough in the dimensional space?

"I checked the dimensional space, and now the highest attribute of the level we are in cannot exceed 50 points." Sonia said, "Enemies one level higher than us are not subject to this restriction, so when the difficulty is increased to B+, we may encounter story creatures that are one level higher." ”

"Uh......" Xiao Yan was thinking about what it would be like if he was crushed by a high-ranking enemy, when a huge stone projectile smashed over and slammed into the towering fortress earthen wall, and the huge vibration made everyone stand unsteadily.

"Well hit!" Xiao Yan hurriedly asked the soldiers to send Sonya into the basement of the headquarters to hide, and then summoned the trebuchet to fight back.

Trebuchets fixed inside the fortress and cannot be moved have a longer range and greater power, and unlike the Orc catapults that need to attack the walls, they can choose to throw a pile of smaller stones that cover a large area.

The orc's catapult was still being loaded, and the boulder that had split its head and covered its face fell like rain, killing and wounding in an instant. The orc warriors who oversaw the battle were stoned to death on the spot, and the surviving laborers scattered in a hurry.

The shield cart covered the continuous approach of the coalition infantry, and the dense bows and arrows were densely inserted on the shield cart, but the damage to the soldiers was very limited.

"Fill in the trenches! Fast! A troll commander slapped the laborers with the back of his knife, urging them to fill the trenches with mud bags and logs beneath the walls.

Another group of tough orc and ogre warriors carried huge ladders on the trenches, and the warriors behind quickly crossed the trenches and erected ladders. There is also a sickle-like iron hook at the top of the ladder, which is difficult to tear down once it is on the wall. One by one, the orc soldiers raised their heavy shields and climbed up.

"Shoot the arrows! Shoot the arrows! "The panicked human archers on the walls rained down the ladder, and some of the orc warriors were shot down the ladder, and many more continued to climb, some of them almost reaching the edge of the battlements.

A strong orc warrior threw off his shield and leaped to his feet, grabbed the battlements and rolled over the walls. He pulled out the two battle axes he was carrying behind his back and swept through them like a whirlwind, and the unprepared archers were immediately killed and wounded.

"What! This is the city wall! "The Count of CondΓ© was in charge of the defense of this section of the wall, and within a few hours of the battle, an orc actually climbed the wall," sent the foot knights out and drove them down. ”

The human feudal knights on foot were also full-fledged knights, unable to fight as cavalry due to lack of property or the death of their horses, but they were also well-equipped, with heavy armor, iron shields, giant swords, and war hammers.

Four feudal knights on foot, armed with heavy iron spears, rushed to the breached city wall with their men and subordinates. A small group of companions had gathered around the orc warrior, wielding battle axes and slashing to secure a gap for the follow-up troops.

"Throw guns!" The knights shouted, and the infantry behind them drew their javelins from their shields and hurled them at the close range.

The attack power of a spear is not comparable to that of a bow and arrow. Some fierce generals can fight with several arrows in their bodies, but they will immediately lose their combat effectiveness after being shot at the gun.

The orc warriors who killed the sex were suddenly shot down by three or five of the heavy and sharp javelins, and the warriors who were the first to enter the city were still wielding battle axes, and suddenly their bodies stiffened, and they looked at the three spears on their bodies and fell to the ground in disbelief.

"Charge!" After breaking up the orc's formation with javelins, the knights drew their heavy weapons and swarmed up, and the remaining orcs couldn't resist being killed one after another, and the remaining one or two saw that they were invincible, and actually jumped directly from the city. The walls of Odessa were so high that they would surely die if they jumped down, and they also stoned to death several unlucky ghosts who were about to enter the city.

"It's really inconvenient to climb the city." Dai Shan shook his head, "Siege towers speed up!" ”

The tall siege towers approached slowly, and Qiulin and CondΓ©'s men were accustomed to this kind of engineering props in the fireplace, and when they approached, they poured fire oil on it and set it on fire, burning the warriors inside to cry wolf; Otherwise, they simply pushed the bed crossbow and shot it directly through the bodies of four or five warriors.

"How's it going?" The Grand Chief of Sarufar observed the offensive and asked the generals around him.

"The trench filling went very well. But the assault on the ladders and siege towers was fruitless. The cunning humans seem to have been prepared for a long time. ”

"Keep on the offensive, there are not many human soldiers, and they won't last long." The Grand Chief of Sarufar was unconcerned about casualties, and "don't stop digging tunnels. Did Mang Gurtai attack that strange fortress? ”
