Chapter 609: Brutal Offensive and Defensive Battles
Looking at the dwarven warriors on the city wall, he saw the destroyer, Azog, roaring coldly: "Today! ”
"I want to stain this land with blood!"
"Today!"
"I'm going to cut off the blood of the abominable Turin clan once and for all! I want to drink the blood of the dwarven king! ”
"Kill them all!"
"Roar!" Hearing this, all the orc soldiers couldn't help but let out an excited roar, and the roar of tens of thousands of people made the battlefield seem to be thundering!
At this time, Ye Feng, who was staying on the city wall, couldn't help but be frightened by the roar of these tens of thousands of people, and then he couldn't help but murmur: "War! Here we go! ”
Sure enough, with the heavy swing of the Destroyer-Azogna's blade, a large number of orc soldiers poured towards the earthen wall like a tidal wave.
At this moment, under the control of Yefeng, the treeman puppets took the lead, only to see them slam the stones in their hands towards the swarming army of orcs.
All of a sudden, more than 100 pounds of stones fell from the sky like raindrops!
"Bang!"
...... "Bang! ”
More than 100 pounds of stones were smashed from the air under the action of gravity, and even a steel can would be smashed flat!
Not to mention the flesh and blood of the orc soldiers?
I saw that the half-orc soldiers who were hit by these stones died tragically on the spot in an instant!
Their iron helmets could be seen smashing to the ground under the attack, and their bright red blood flowed out like a stream.
In an instant, under the stone-throwing attack of the treeman puppet, at least dozens of orcs died tragically on the spot, and more than a dozen orc soldiers suffered a broken arm or a broken sternum!
However, for such damage, the army of orcs was not afraid, but still swarmed towards the earthen wall!
Then, just as the army of orcs who were charging at the forefront was about to rush to a distance of dozens of meters in front of the earthen wall, with the roar of the dwarven commander, the dwarven warriors who were manipulating more than a dozen heavy crossbows also immediately fired crossbow arrows at the attacking orc army!
It is worth mentioning that the crossbow arrows used in these heavy crossbows are directly replaced by spears in the inventory of Gushan.
The huge spear quickly sliced through the air, emitting a sharp whistling sound that could not help but give the impression of death.
"Poof! Burst! ”
The sharp spear directly pierced the half-orc soldier holding the shield blade, and continued to pierce through it unabated, directly shooting several half-orc soldiers behind him into a string!
Then, hundreds of archers also raised their bows and arrows and shot up towards the orc army, and after a while, a curtain of arrows rained through the sky in an instant!
However, the damage caused by these hundreds of sharp arrows is not as good as imagined, this is because this time the half-orc, the vital parts of the body are almost covered with a layer of hard iron armor, and for the fierce half-orc, as long as the vital part is not hit hard, then the combat effectiveness will hardly be reduced much, but will become more brutal because of the injury!
Only sharp arrows that hit the orc's eyes, which are not protected by iron armor, can inflict real and effective damage on the orcs.
As a result, the orcs managed to charge under the earthen wall with only a few casualties.
As for the orc soldiers who had already charged near the earthen wall, except for a small number of long-range archers who were shooting at close range, others such as the Treant Puppet Trebuchet and the Heavy Crossbow did not care about these approaching orc soldiers.
Their main target is still the half-orc phalanx that is slowly advancing from a distance!
However, the slave sword and shield bearers and dwarven shield spearmen clenched their weapons and nervously waited for the orc soldiers to attack the city for hand-to-hand combat!
But at this moment, the orc soldiers who had already approached the bottom of the earthen wall suddenly stopped, because there was an extra chasm in front of them!
I saw that under the earthen wall, human warriors had dug out a circular earth pit several meters deep and a width of several meters, and what was even more vicious was that under this earth pit, there were countless sharp wooden spears inserted densely!
It is worth mentioning that I don't know if the self-confidence of the orc army in this war is really too inflated, and they actually did not carry siege equipment such as wooden ladders or building carts used in the siege!
Therefore, in the face of this moat-like earthen pit, the solution of the orcs in the end is also very cruel.
They directly used their lives to fill this dirt pit, and under the suicide attacks of the orc soldiers, this dirt pit was gradually filled by the corpses of the half-orcs.
It is worth mentioning that the orcs who filled this pit did not fill the entire pit of the earth, but only filled a few passages for the rear army to pass.
However, then, the orcs who had succeeded in filling the pit with human corpses looked at each other in the face of the 5-meter-high earthen wall.
But immediately, for this problem, the orc commander immediately gave a corresponding solution, and it directly ordered the huge ogre war beast to lie down under the earthen wall.
Then, the other orc soldiers stepped on the ogre's body as a stepping stone and climbed towards the top of the earthen wall.
After all, the height of a half-orc soldier is basically the same as that of an average human warrior, at about 1.67 meters, so when an ogre of about 3 meters fills the gap of most of the 5-meter-high earthen wall, climbing an earthen wall of nearly 2 meters is just not easy for a half-orc soldier.
However, when the orc soldiers were struggling to climb, the dwarven warriors standing on the earthen wall immediately stabbed out their spears at these orc soldiers.
In the midst of the screams, from time to time an orc fell from the process of climbing.
But in the same way, in the process, there are also dwarven warriors who were plotted by the orc crossbowmen who shot cold arrows under the earthen wall, so they fell off the earthen wall, and before they could stand up!
A large number of orc soldiers had already slashed at the dwarven warriors on the spot.
Under such a battle, a large number of lives are rapidly disappearing, almost every second, there are several, or even dozens of lives, including dwarves, slave warriors, but most of them belong to orc soldiers.
After all, in a siege battle, the defending side always has to take a big advantage.
However, this advantage will not last long.
Because although the orc army did not carry siege equipment such as wooden ladders and building carts, they had more than a dozen trolls and humanoid self-propelled trebuchets!
When the rain of crossbow arrows and arrows of the dwarven soldiers reached a distance of about 100 meters close to the earthen wall, more than a dozen ogres with trebuchets on their backs pressed their hands hard on the ground.
Then, the goblin mercenaries on its back also quickly turned the winch, pulling the long arm lever containing the bullet bag to the level little by little!
Then they quickly loaded the 100-kilogram boulders into the bomb bag.
After getting ready, the goblin mercenaries were not in a hurry to launch at this time, but controlled the trolls to move their bodies slightly, making the target of the attack more inclined to the earthen wall.
Then, when they felt that their position was almost up, they also slashed the rope, and in an instant, the originally horizontal long arm immediately ejected, and the stone in the bullet bag was thrown out with a whoosh.
After a 100-kilogram stone crossed a perfect parabola in the air, it slammed into the earthen wall with a bang.
In an instant, I saw that a large spider web-like crack appeared on the earthen wall that was hit by the stone, and then the earthen wall also collapsed suddenly.
Even the dwarven warriors and slave warriors standing on the earthen wall had the misfortune to fall, and then they had to face the orc soldiers with a cruel grin!
The terrible screams also stopped abruptly in an instant.
Thankfully, the hit rate of the trolls trebuchet is not very high, only about half of the stone bullets hit the earthen wall, causing damage to the dwarven side, and the remaining half of the stones were either missed, and even worse, they hit the head of the orc soldier, directly causing his death!
However, at this moment, when the stone thrown by the trolls trebuchet smashed down the earthen wall, a large number of orc soldiers jumped directly through the gap in the defense and jumped directly behind the earthen wall.
However, as soon as the orc soldiers climbed over the earthen wall, they were suddenly greeted by a rain of arrows.
On the flat ground between Ilubo and the earthen wall, there were more than a dozen heavy crossbows and dozens of slave archers, and in front of them, hundreds of dwarven warriors armed with shields and spears were guarding the battle array!
A large number of orc soldiers stiffened and fell on top of the gap, but there were still more orc soldiers charging from the gap!
"Damn it!" Seeing the scene in front of him, Ye Feng couldn't help but curse in a low voice, he didn't expect that the first line of defense, which was so well prepared, would have a crisis so quickly.
Sure enough, a good plan is always just an idea, and in reality, there will always be accidents of one kind or another.
Subsequently, under his control, a large number of Treant golems focused their throwing on the trolls, because if the trolls were allowed to attack at will, the collapse of the entire earthen wall would be a fleeting matter.
Hundreds of stones fell from the sky like meteorites, straight from the sky towards the ogre trebuchet!
However, its hit rate was terrible, except for one trolls who were hit head-on by a few stones, the other stones were evenly distributed on the heads of the orc soldiers around him.
Looking at it like this, it's likely that the earthen wall he made had already been smashed before Nightfeng's Dryman puppets could take out the dozen or so trolls of the trolls.
Soon, however, he came up with another solution.
That is, the enemy does not rely on the trolls to manipulate the trebuchet, but the goblin mercenaries on its backs, and compared to the tenacious vitality of the trolls, the survivability of the goblin mercenaries is undoubtedly low I don't know how much!
Thinking of this, Night Feng also immediately controlled the high-level light elf Aurora Grayling, and shifted the target of the attack to the trolls.
Accompanied by a thunderbolt from the sky, after the thunderous sound, I saw that the ogre's body emitted a scorched black smell, which was exactly the trace left by its lightning split!
However, the trolls are also powerful creatures, but after being struck by lightning, they only suffered a certain amount of damage.
However, compared to it, the fragile goblin mercenaries on its back were directly electrocuted to death by the aftermath of the lightning.
Without the control of the goblin mercenaries, it is impossible for the trolls themselves to turn the winch or the like to throw rocks out!
Under such a two-pronged approach, more than a dozen ogre trebuchets were also quickly dumbfounded.
However, in the process, nearly half of the earthen wall collapsed, causing many gaps.
At this time, a large number of orc soldiers are swarming through these gaps!
In desperation, Yefeng had no choice but to order the dwarves and slave warriors on the earthen wall to retreat, and under the cover of a rapid rain of arrows, the remaining dozens of warriors on the earthen wall also retreated towards Ilubo's side in a panic.
Before that, the defensive force he was stationed on the earthen wall was more than 100 warriors, and the battle loss ratio was more than half.
Sure enough, the battlefield is a huge, brutal meat grinder!
In just a short period of time, so many lives have died!
And not long after the dwarven warriors retreated from the top of the earthen wall, the entire earthen wall also suddenly collapsed, and the result was caused by hundreds of trolls and war beasts.
They swung their solid wooden hammers directly at the earthen wall, and under the ferocious attacks of hundreds of trolls and war beasts, the originally not very thick earthen wall also collapsed like a building was about to collapse!
Then, with these hundreds of trolls and war beasts as the vanguard, the army of thousands of orcs slowly advanced behind.
At this time, amid the roar of the dwarf king, a dozen spears and a rain of nearly a hundred arrows shot desperately at the slowly approaching army of orcs.
Under the power of the spear fired by the heavy crossbow through the winch, even the powerful troll war beast was pierced through the body with a single spear.
However, the rain of arrows caused very little damage to them, except for the unlucky ghosts who were shot right in the right place, but they did not cause actual casualties.
And for such casualties, the murderous army of orcs also continued to approach coldly, and did not feel afraid of this.
After several rounds of continuous shooting, seeing that the trolls had approached less than 20 meters in front of the battle line, finally, in the roar of the dwarf king Thorin, the dwarven warriors directly raised their heavy ballestas and retreated from the gate.
At this time, the nearly ten Treant Golems are the mainstay, supplemented by other elemental creatures and trolls, as the troops behind the palace, to buy time for the retreat of the dwarven warriors!
