Chapter 109: The Tangles of Siege
Day 5 of Week 11. There was no fighting on the southern front.
Lin Tiandu couldn't help but applaud the national defense forces in charge of the direction of the Yellowstone Kingdom, they not only followed their own battle plan, but also made targeted improvements to the plan to make it more reasonable.
He led his troops, making full use of his expert-level logistics skills, and quickly moved closer in this direction...... Today he is not the protagonist!
Lin Bing is a little entangled now, the number of enemies is more than 11,000 people, but he only has 20,000 human warriors on hand, it is said that he can fight to defend the city, but things are not so simple. If he threw all the 20,000 soldiers into defending the city, I am afraid that the enemy commander will not be stupid, and I am afraid that he will have to weigh it, and it is obviously not cost-effective to attack the city like this. What if they decide to ignore this well-defended city and go straight in the direction of His Majesty? Or how about bypassing the city and heading for the next densely populated city?
He thought carefully for a while and sent someone to recruit new warriors in Xianyun City. This was done with consideration, and he decided not to use the 15,000 national defense troops he had at hand for the time being, and let them stay in the city as a reserve force, so as not to be discovered by the enemy, and formed a city defense force with a small force of 5,000 troops who had been exposed, plus the new soldiers he had gathered from Xianyun City. Such a force is naturally very weak, but weak enough for the enemy commander to immediately order the siege of the city, and then slowly add in the elite Wehrmacht, and by the time the enemy finds out that something is wrong, it may be too late......
After an emergency mobilization, he got about 4,000 new soldiers, was issued improvised weapons, and led by 1,000 Wehrmacht soldiers, went up to the city wall......
After a short time, the adjutant came in with 5,000 soldiers, and he asked the adjutant to go up the wall himself, and then let another 4,000 Wehrmacht, who had been leisurely for a long time, follow. The 5,000 people from outside the city all went to the back to rest and replenish their strength. After all, the enemy can only be distinguished by equipment, can it be possible to tell the difference between them?
Smoke and dust billowed from outside the city, and an army of orcs arrived. The leading orc captain saw that the city gate had been closed, and there were less than 10,000 Terran warriors on the city tower, some of whom looked like recruits at all, which made the captain feel a little relieved. Then he saw a stinky face, this human officer, in the process of pursuit, harassed the large army several times, causing certain casualties, and the most infuriating thing was that he often made insulting movements.
And lo and behold! Then he raised his middle finger to himself on the wall again......
An orc has seen this action more than ten times, and now he dares to do it here, which makes the pure-blooded orcs who have already assessed the strength of both the enemy and the enemy, how can they bear it? With a wave of his hand, he ordered the entire siege of the city......
The 2000 centaurs were the easiest in the whole pursuit, after all, they also had five legs, and most of them were good archers, and they were in the front line ready to shoot!
Centaurs generally have more arm strength than humans and have a longer range. But this is only under the same conditions, such as the present, human archers can rely on the advantage of the 6-meter-high city wall to extend the range in disguise, and they almost don't need to aim, just throw it out, anyway, there are dense orcs below......
Not to be outdone, the warriors of the Royal Guard Regiment were not to be outdone, and all of them threw themselves at the Centaur under the cover of the city walls......
Under the strong arm strength of the orc archers, a dense stream of arrows rushed straight towards the opponent on the city wall, and the experienced veterans immediately found cover, or simply lay down, only a few unlucky people who did not understand the market were taken away by this wave of long-range strikes. Most of the recruits were reminded by the commanders that they had escaped the catastrophe, after all, there were strong walls to cover, and the enemy still rushed down and attacked, and there was a forewarning, and the casualties were not as serious as they seemed......
The scene below the city is completely different. The human archers on the city walls, although their overall strength is not high, and their arm strength is difficult to compare with the professional archers of centaurs, but they have the advantage of height, and they use the technique of projectile, although the real marksman is very taboo about this kind of aimless random shooting, but when the enemy is very dense, it is very effective. Thousands of arrows, cutting through a graceful parabola, under the gravity of the iron arrows, slammed into the orcs on the ground. Many orcs were immediately hit by arrows and fell to the ground, and some took out shields to resist, but unfortunately the orcs are conceited and brave, advocating offense, and there are not many guys who are willing to use shields, not to mention their rough skinned small shields, or even simply wooden shields, the actual defense effect is very bad...... A large number of fighters lost their combat effectiveness.
The first long-range attack of the mutual fire, the orcs suffered a dark loss, but it was not enough to break the muscles and bones. With a wave of his hand, the army attacked the city directly. In the front row, there are 2 pig-headed people with a thousand people who take the lead in the charge, most of them are rough skin and thick meat, and they are professional cannon fodder seedlings; Then there is a team of 1,000 minotaurs, behind their tall bodies, there are many sinister and short cat people; The snake people began to cruise rhythmically, and they were definitely good at going up the city wall! 3 pure-blooded orcs thousand-person team, but they were treated as reserves and placed at the bottom of the list, and the selfishness of this captain is really undisguised!
Lin Bing was in a hidden place, meowing and insulting the enemy's adjutant, feeling that the enemy's offensive was a little fierce, if they really let them rush up smoothly, the price would be great. He beckoned to his master, and less than 50 meters from the city wall, there were 3,000 archers lined up, raising their bows and throwing them in unison, and a rain of arrows shot angrily at the pre-marked shooting yuan. The group of archers fired three quick volleys in a row, as pre-ordered, and then stopped......
The enemy outside the city braved a large number of arrows and charged, and the brave pig-headed man had fallen by nearly a third, and no one looked back. The orc commander who commanded in the back row clearly saw that this three waves of arrows rained down...... Obviously, he judged that there were no less than 3,000 archers in the city throwing them! This made the unexpected defense force a little tangled in him.
The number 3000 is embarrassing, not much! But there are a lot of them! It was this group of troops that caused the charging troops, as if they had been gnawed by dogs, to be bitten off a small piece alive, and hundreds of cats and a small number of snake people were killed. There may not be many dead, but it hit the vital point, not only killing a lot of troops who are good at climbing, but also making the entire formation cohesive, with a great degree of missing...... The other commander is very powerful, huh? This thought shook his determination to prepare for a strong attack! But? Is it permissible to be shaken on the battlefield?
Yes! The price must be paid by you...... The defending troops rained down arrows, and the goal was very clear, sparing the meat shield breeds pigs and cattle in front, and specially picking cats and snakes with relatively weak armor for accurate shooting, and don't forget, after charging a certain distance, they had already entered the distance of the straight arrow to defend the long-range force......
