Chapter 515: Toulon Xiongguan

Toulon Fortress, standing on the high city pass and looking into the distance, Meng Tian was in a very complicated mood at this time. As far as the eye can see, in the distance outside the city, there are all simple marching tents set up by human armies, and the number is so large that it is desperate......

At this time, gathered outside the Toulon fortress were more than 400,000 troops that Lin Tian had personally commanded, in addition to more than 200,000 reinforcements brought in the follow-up, plus the marines who were on board by the navy, there were at least 700,000 terran troops in front of the orcs at this time......

It is completely different from the previous situation when the orcs completely looked down on human warriors, and now most of the human armies outside are elite people who have seen blood, and on the other hand, inside the city, although it is also claimed that there are 300,000 orc "warriors", in fact, those who know a little bit of the inside story know that this is all false......

The real orc warriors have been sent out to fight at the beginning, and the "warriors" who were forcibly recruited by various races after the end of the beast tide have a very small proportion of young adults, and more are half-sized young men, barely able old men, plus a large number of widows...... The tribes now lack everything else, but there is no shortage of widows!

Forced by a powerful external force, King Beamon had no choice but to issue death orders to the chiefs, asking them to recruit different numbers of warriors, but where did these chiefs conjure up soldiers? So many patriarchs have appealed and complained, but is Meng Tian a good person? With his ruthless methods, after he personally twisted the neck of a crooked guy, the entire world was much cleaner...... The patriarchs had no choice but to take half of the children, the old, the weak, the sick and even the women to fill the number.

Although the officer in charge of recruiting soldiers complained about this, and had personally stated this time in front of King Beamon, Meng Tian, who was well aware of the facts, also knew the truth. You can't push too much, and you can't force anything. So just let him turn a blind eye...... 300,000 orc warriors? If the combat power can be one-third of the previous number, he can be regarded as an orc blessing!

In this eventful time. His opponents, humans, are completely different things! The long-standing hatred for the orcs, coupled with the unified leadership, makes the real combat effectiveness of this force outside definitely no less than the millions of those cowardly alliances before......

Relying on the advantages of the city, can Toulon hold the capital, let alone go out of the city to fight? With this cognition, Meng Tian turned white almost overnight. The powerful Beamon, who was only 50 years old, had gray hair on the top of his head. Like the old people in the clan. After making the decision to turn a blind eye to the massacres outside the city, and bearing almost all the infamy of cowardice, his prestige has fallen to freezing point, and it seems that he has lived up to the sharpness of the past......

In the camp outside the city, Lin Tian was trying to curry favor with Hu Shuang at this time, and of course Hu Qing! Together with Thrall this time, they were responsible for leading the newly arrived reinforcements, and arrived here as reinforcements to join the previous army. But who made Lin Tian actually not consult them at first, and directly let the guards kidnap people when they admonished them? …… Although they also understood afterwards. Husband, it's all for their sake, but that doesn't stop the beauty from putting up a stand here, does it?

Although after the three of them returned, they tried their best to appease most of the orc warriors. But that doesn't eliminate all the hidden dangers. In fact, in the more than a month after the "Beast Slaughter Order" was issued, there were still a small number of orc warriors who tried in vain to encourage other compatriots in the army to rebel. If it weren't for Lin Tian's proper arrangements in advance, the soldiers in charge of staying behind would have quickly executed some of them. I believe that this kind of behavior will definitely spread, and it is inevitable to start a fire in the backyard......

Fortunately. At present, the orc army has finally stabilized, and the preparations for a rainy day have not been in vain. This also made these three followers very surprised by Lin Tian's vicious eyes and foresight.

After making a few wishes and signing a large number of unequal agreements, the grievances of the two beauties were finally relieved, so ......

"Let the three of you bring reinforcements over this time, I still hope to get your help, after all, even I don't want to see the orcs exterminated!"

Thrall got out of his state of looking at the sky with two eyes, and asked respectfully, "Master, what do you need us to do?" ”

……

"Today is a good day! …… It's a good day to kill! A minotaur silver-horned warrior, so sighed in his heart.

From the morning, the human warriors began to gather, and it took a long time for the army to finally form a neat formation and approach the fortress of Toulon. To be honest, even standing on high walls, the warriors in charge of defense did not feel the slightest sense of security......

The morale of the enemy troops below was high, and a large number of infantry phalanxes, spearmen phalanxes, and cavalry phalanxes were neatly arranged, and even the rare mage phalanx and siege equipment phalanx were lined up, and a momentum of not breaking the city and vowing not to give up came to the face. In the face of superior opponents, on the other hand, it is not so good-looking on your own side......

This silver-horned warrior can already be regarded as the "big leader" sent by the clan this time, and there are few warriors in the entire clan who are stronger than him. He was also going to participate in the beast tide at that time, but there were other tasks that were delayed, so he didn't catch the last train to defeat and death. But that was only a postponement, at least at the time everyone thought it was going to be a journey of glory, like now, everyone thinks that it will be their own last battle.

The group of cow cubs he brought with him were not many adults, and the quality of the soldiers was much inferior to that of the previous ones, and there were even more teenagers, who were forced to conscript into the army in desperation. These are not bad, at that time, King Beamon asked the patriarch for warriors, and the urging was too tight to be impossible, and they even had to use some young female minotaurs to train them briefly to make up the numbers. Although a long time ago, the tribe was also a female minotaur warrior, but that was a long time ago......

This minotaur warrior casually glanced at it and found that the morale of the warriors around him was too low. This is a place that doesn't require much sharpness, but can be seen with an eye. Since the defeat of the empire in the previous time and the collapse of several pillar armies, it has fallen from the peak of the country, and its national strength has gradually declined, and the majesty of King Bimeng has plummeted, and it has to kill people to intimidate others...... It is not only the king who is weak, but the entire empire.

The tribes with a slightly longer-term vision have begun to think about the way back, everyone understands that when the orc empire was in full swing in the past, it was nothing to be ruthless, it was a big deal to grab it from other races, who called them strong enough?

But now it's different, the empire occupies such a large territory, but it has lost enough troops to keep them, and it has had too many grudges with various tribes before, and it is definitely a situation where the wall is falling and everyone is pushing it. The first ones to come today are humans, and even if they survive, there will still be elves, dwarves and other races coming back...... The empire has lost such a number of elite warriors in one go, and it is difficult to recover in a short period of time.

Let alone? What should humans who can take out the three top legions of the empire to fight against? Toulon fortress alone?

You need to know, how can the orcs have so much ability to build a strong fortress like the Tulun Fortress? Ironically, this Toulon fortress was also taken from the human side. Back then, humanity was trying to rely on the fortress of Toulon to fend off the Orc Empire...... From this point of view, humanity has simply come to recover its own territory.

A little further away, only from the current point of view, the orc warriors in charge of defense almost have a strong pessimism from top to bottom, and are on the verge of demoralization. Especially when the opponent is much stronger than you......

This time, Lin Tian's formation emphasized one point: we must overwhelm or even crush the enemy in terms of momentum!

The entire Yimeng Mountain Range from north to south, cutting the territory of orcs and humans in half, is only a small opening in the Toulon fortress, which can be passed...... It's not that other places can't be walked, friends who are willing to climb Yimeng Mountain can try it, someone has successfully crossed it before. It's just that this method will definitely not be suitable for the situation of a large army. Therefore, if Lin Tian wants to defeat the Orc Empire, he must first take the Toulon Fortress.

But the Toulon fortress was strong! Easy to defend but hard to attack! At that time, the human race, in the case of struggling to resist the pressure of the orcs, repaired and rebuilt this fortress over the years, and operated it like an iron barrel, with all kinds of defensive measures complete and very complete.

However, no matter how difficult it is to overcome, there is no reason not to break it! Although the fortress of Toulon is majestic, it has changed hands several times throughout its history between humans and orcs......

To be honest, it's too condescending to give up to the orcs in such a strong way. These orcs had little to do with industry, neither construction nor repair, and they admired individual force, and with relatively weak opponents, the empire was constantly expanding, and the fortress of Toulon had not experienced war for a long time......

On the 30-meter-high and nearly 20-meter-thick wall, there are many female walls with arrowholes, through which archers can effectively attack the enemy and protect themselves. At the head of the city, a large number of catapults and ballistae were placed in an orderly manner, and a large number of simple lifting devices made of pulleys were used to transport a large number of defensive materials such as logs and artillery stones in wartime.

There are also large iron pots set up every few dozen steps, which are definitely not used to cook food, but to boil oil and even dung juice, which are used to kill enemies. As long as these defense tools can be used well, even civilians with little strength and little training can inflict a lot of damage on the besieging soldiers...... In any case, to storm such a strong pass, we must definitely be mentally prepared to bear a large number of casualties.

And today, Lin Tian stands in front of it, and he will surely become the Toulon Fortress, the new conqueror! (To be continued......)
