Chapter 177: This is war
The hot wind of the Burning Plains howled, and they violently rolled up the sand and gravel on the ground, and then slammed violently against the ground and the mountain walls, making a crackling sound. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
The dust was lifted into the sky, making the burning plains seem to be engulfed in flames, and the weather was harsh with very little visibility.
But in such weather, the sound of shouts of killing, cries of pain, and explosions filled the entire battlefield!
The huge mountain of the Red Ridge Mountain Fortress has become potholed, and in some places there are large, black caverns, which show that the tunnels were artificially opened and then violently opened from the outside.
The closer these caves are to the ground, the more there are! In the end, the wall between the mountain wall and the mountain passage seems to have been neatly cut off.
Densely packed with orc warriors in black armor swarmed into a narrow tunnel, half of the city gate hanging outside the tunnel was still emitting scorched smoke, and collapsed construction trucks and crashing logs were scattered everywhere.
Occasionally, from a crack in a mountain wall, a sharp arrow would be fired, knocking some hapless orc warrior to the ground.
In the narrow tunnel, a wrist-thick steel barbed the orc warriors, and the human soldiers with spears lined up stabbed through the gate.
In front of the fence, the corpses of the orc warriors had been piled up two or three stories high, but these raging orc warriors still roared and charged as if they had no fear!
"Poof-" A spear quickly pierced out, piercing into the gap in the armor under the manipulation of the soldier, and pierced into the orc's abdomen, and the blood immediately seeped out.
"Roar-" The orc warrior was unmoved, he roared angrily, grabbed the spear stuck in the muscle with one hand, and pressed the shaft down with a strong elbow, and with a crisp rattle, the spear was snapped alive!
After breaking the spear, the dark-skinned orc warrior swung the black hammer in his hand fiercely, ignoring the short spear still in his body, and slammed it heavily on the somewhat deformed fence gate.
With a loud bang, the already deformed fence gate twisted even more, and some dust fell above the tunnel, but before the orc warrior could attack again, a spear pierced the leather armor around his neck, and the sharp spear easily pierced his throat.
The fierce orc warrior's eyes widened, and a wisp of blood flowed from the corner of his mouth, and he tried to grasp the spear, but the strength of his body disappeared like a flood that burst the embankment, and finally as the spear was drawn, he fell limply, and was immediately drowned by his companions behind him.
And before the spear that stabbed him back could be withdrawn, it was grabbed by another orc warrior, and the powerful force of the orc pulled the spear out fiercely, and the human warrior who lost his weapon and was pulled closer to the fence was pierced through the heart by a sharp sword before he could react!
"My lord! The first fence gate is almost untenable! "Inside the fortress, at a makeshift command post, a herald ran in quickly, and he said loudly.
"Withdraw the spearmen and let them continue their defense at the second fence gate!" When Isabel heard this, she gave an order decisively, but she was a little embarrassed at this time. The rich armor was gray, the red cloak was half burned by the flames, the supple and beautiful black hair was covered with dust, and the occasional small grain of rubble could be seen.
On the first day the main force of the orcs began to attack, the goblins used explosives, and these little creatures who are good at creating create huge trebuchets for the orcs, and bombs that can be thrown by trebuchets!
During the day's bombing, the griffon's platform and command room were blown off by the bomb, and if it hadn't been for Isabelle's quick reaction, it is estimated that he would have been injured.
"Report! The firing point of the mountain on the left was completely destroyed by the enemy, and a small number of enemies entered the mountain tunnel through the gap! "The previous herald had just left, and immediately another herald came in to report it.
"Let Captain Christine lead a team of men to clear the invading enemy, withdraw all those who are still left in the belly of the mountain, and order Mr. Bobby to blow up the main passage in the mountain on the left!"
Wave after wave, Isabel pursed her lips, her expression was extremely cold, although she hadn't closed her eyes for two days and two nights, her orders were still decisive and efficient, and every command could cause an effective sniper to the orc's attack.
But she knew very well that the loss of the Red Ridge Mountain Fortress was inevitable, and under the frantic attack of the orcs who were so fearless of casualties, coupled with the siege weapons provided by the goblins, the mountain defenses had been broken in just two days.
Now their commander may not have reacted, and it is inconvenient to use bombs in the tunnel of the city gate, so the orcs will fill the narrow tunnel with their lives, and once they find a suitable way, it is just a fence gate made of ordinary steel, which will not be able to stop the enemy at all!
The curtain of the command room was rudely opened, and Cole strode in, his armor still stained with blood and dust, and a small wound on his chin, bleeding.
As soon as he entered, he shouted in his loud voice: "Lord Marshal! I need to be replenished, the lads are suffering heavy casualties! ”
"Go find Luminas, and with her, all the shooters are under your command, including the goblins!" Isabel said without raising her head, the quill in her hand scribbled quickly on a piece of parchment.
"Herald!" The letter was not much, and Isabel wrote it before Cole could respond, and she rolled it up without bothering to dry the ink.
"Send the griffin knights and give this to His Majesty the King!"
After the herald left, Isabel turned to look at Cole, who was still waiting, and said, "I have no one in my hands, and there is no news of His Majesty's reinforcements yet, so Luminas's people are the only ones I can come up with." ”
She paused, took a sip of the already cold tea, and stopped Cole's words and continued: "I know it's a bit cruel to let those shooters who have only undergone preliminary training take their spears and fight the orcs, but the shooting bunkers in the mountains have been completely breached by the enemy, except for a few people, they are idle for the time being!" ”
"It's war!"
After listening to Isabel's words, Cole knocked his breastplate hard, and said in a heavy tone: "My subordinates understand, I will talk to Luminas." ”
With that, he strode out, but when he was about to go out, he suddenly stopped, turned his back to Isabel and said, "I'll let the goblins go first......"
