Chapter 19: Artificial Barrier I

"Woo woo woo ......."

As the battle horn continued to sound, the orc legion that had been preparing for a long time began to press in the direction of the castle.

The orcs are on the attack!

Yi Fei heard the sound of the horn coming from outside the city again, and hurriedly looked in the direction of the orc army!

Wooden shield, I'll go, the orcs even prepared a wooden shield!

At this time, Yi Fei found that as the wolf knight standing at the front spread out to the side, revealing the minotaur warrior standing behind them.

The heavily armored minotaur warriors stood at the front, holding huge wooden shields in their hands, while the lizardmen hid behind the minotaurs!

Looking at the huge wooden shield, Yi Fei found that its workmanship was very rudimentary, that is, some thick trees were tied together, and there were even some remnants of fresh branches and green leaves on them.

But those trees form a wooden shield, and at this time they play a huge role.

Each wooden shield was five or six meters high, and from a distance, those minotaurs were like holding rafts, covering the figures of the orc warriors behind them.

"Knock knock ......"

The minotaur warriors holding rafts lined up in a very neat phalanx, approaching the castle step by step, as if it were like a wooden wall, constantly approaching the castle.

After seeing this scene, Yi Fei was a little frightened, it seems that these orcs are not stupid, although such a wooden shield is simple, it is very sharp.

Not to mention that it is used to block bows and arrows, and even the specific number of people behind him can't be seen clearly.

What should I do now, the archers are useless, and the most part of the troops in my hands has been abolished like this?

After Yifei saw the attack of the orcs, he was stunned, he had never experienced a war, and he was ready to fight according to the war situation in the game, but the cruel reality immediately told him with facts that the existing and the game are not the same!

What to do? What to do? Yifei quickly used his brain!

"Squeak, squeak, squeak"

At this time, he heard a creaking sound in his ears, and his eyes suddenly lit up, and he found the situation to solve the crisis in front of him!

Haha, how did I forget, and their existence.

So he hurriedly ordered Tom beside him to tell the siegers who were wielding the tower crossbows and catapults to focus on the huge wooden shields of the orcs, and to be sure to destroy the tree shields in the hands of the enemy.

At the same time, he regretted that he should not have deliberately not arranged asphalt ditches outside the city in order to save money. If the asphalt ditch had been arranged, it would have been impossible to kill the minotaurs with rafts.

But now that the orcs have begun to attack, he has no way to arrange asphalt ditches anymore, so he can only take one step at a time.

At this time, Yifei found that the werewolf knights and boar knights who were circling along the sides were more than a thousand meters away from the castle, surrounding the entire city, and each palm-sized hillside was full of orc cavalry, the purpose of which was self-evident, that is, to prevent people from escaping.

I'll go, is this formation ready to let go of any of them?

Looking at the formation of the orcs outside the city, Yi Fei suddenly felt a sense of crisis, if he lost this battle, he would definitely die!

But at the same time, the formation of werewolf knight and boar knight also made him let go of some of his worries, he was afraid that the orcs would use crowd tactics, after all, his current strength is only more than five hundred.

No matter how fast the archers fire, they can only shoot one at a time, and if the orcs outside the city use crowd tactics, maybe they really can't help it!

But since the orcs are so confident and willing to come to their deaths in batches, then you are welcome!

So he told the archers standing on the tower to keep an eye out for the orc cavalry around them, while he focused his attention on the attacking minotaurs and lizardmen.

One kilometer

Eight hundred meters

Five hundred meters.

The minotaur with the wooden shield finally came within range of the tower crossbow, and the tower crossbow and trebuchet arranged on the city wall immediately attacked.

"Whoosh...... Ten long-charged crossbow arrows shot out from the tower crossbow like lightning, breaking through the air, with a piercing sound, and flying towards the wooden shield of the orcs in the distance.

Yifei saw a few lights flash in front of him, and then he heard a "bang, bang" sound from the orc's wooden shield in the distance.

The huge crossbow bolt shot directly through the rudimentary wooden shield in the Minotaur's hand, and the crossbow arrow through the wooden shield shot directly into the Minotaur behind the wooden shield.

The heavy armor on the Minotaur was as if it were made of paper when faced with the powerful force of the crossbow arrows, and the crossbow arrows directly broke through the heavy armor on their bodies, and the remaining strength even shot through the lizardman archers hiding behind them.

The orc warriors who were connected by the crossbow arrows were like sugar gourds, and they were strung together at once, and suddenly the neat wooden shield phalanx of the orcs revealed a neat gap.

And a bunch of small stone balls projected by the six catapults also smashed into the orc army formation very "accurately", and the orc soldiers who were directly hit turned into a puddle of mud.

After the stone ball fell to the ground, it suddenly exploded, and a large number of irregular stones splashed everywhere in the orc army array, and suddenly the orc army array that was hit by the stone ball sounded a wail, and the ground was also stained red with blood.

Yifei, who stood on the fortress and watched, found that the neat military formation of the orcs in the distance suddenly became pitted.

"Good, well done!" Seeing this scene, Yifei shouted excitedly, looking forward to another attack from the tower crossbow and trebuchet!

......A minute later, the sound of air tearing through the sky was once again resounding, and the orc formation was once again hit by tower crossbows and trebuchets, leaving a trail of blood once again.

The orc formation only panicked a little about the casualties in front of them, and then continued to approach the castle, but their pace began to pick up.

A few minutes later, the orc's shield array was only more than 200 meters away from the city, and at this time, the orc army array suddenly divided into dozens of small military formations, and the first one in front was still the minotaur warrior holding a large shield, and behind them, closely followed by the lizardman holding a longbow, this change made the effect of the trebuchet suddenly weakened a lot.

For this change in the orcs, Yi Fei had already expected it, it is also an intelligent race, and it can fight with the human race for so many years, and its IQ will not be low there!

But Yifei is not worried at all, because the tower crossbows produced by the system are not afraid of this at all, as long as they are within their range, they can be intelligently locked, that is, the arrow will be hit.

A few minutes passed, and after paying hundreds of casualties, more than 3,000 orc warriors finally rushed to a distance of only more than a hundred meters from the castle, at which time Yifei found a flaw in a tower crossbow, a fatal flaw!

The tower crossbows arranged on the high platform are all down-fired at targets at close range, but the wooden shields in the hands of the orcs are too rudimentary, and each crossbow arrow can penetrate the wooden shield in their hands 100%.

But as the distance got closer and smaller, the long crossbow arrow shot through the wooden shield, and before the tail of the arrow passed through the wooden shield, the arrow shot to the ground, and suddenly it was like a bracket, supporting the wooden shield on the ground, leaving a barrier in front of the castle.

Damn, seeing this situation, Yi Fei, who commanded in reality for the first time, never expected, although the tower crossbow arranged on the city wall stopped the orc wooden shield from advancing, but also provided hundreds of barriers for the orcs.

Seeing this scene, Yi Fei had to command the trebuchet to clean up the barriers formed one by one, but those tower trebuchets were all range-attacking, and when they could destroy the barriers made of wooden shields and giant crossbow arrows outside the city all depended on luck!

He also tried to make the trebuchet only load a stone ball, but the siege man who operated the trebuchet unfortunately told him that the trebuchet was not a ballista and could not guarantee an accurate attack!

For this result, Yi Fei could only express his helplessness, and at this time it was impossible for him to open the city gate and let the siege soldiers push the ballistas out to die!

His only hope was luck that the scattered stones would be lucky enough to hit the wooden shields that were scattered around the city, destroying the wooden shields that had been erected outside the city.
