When Stanny returned to Capra with the ambush force, it was already dark. Harvey and his men waited at the gates for their return, and when all the ambush troops had entered the city, Harvey ordered the gates to be closed and the holes in the gates sealed with rubble, and from now until the orcs were repulsed, the gates would no longer pass.

Entering the city, Stanny instructed his men to take out the captured orc heads and place them in the center of the clearing.

"Stanny, when the regimental commander comes back, I will ask for credit for you, you are the first to take credit for this battle. ”

Harvey circled twice around the hill of thousands of orc heads, and excitedly patted Stanny on the shoulder and complimented.

"The orc army is strong on the outside, and it only took Deputy Commander Andy less than half a day to beat the orc forward to the ground, making the first contribution to our legion. But don't be envious, the total strength of the orcs who came this time is 25,000, there are only 1,000 orc heads here, and there are 24,000 orc heads left waiting for everyone to take them, do you have any confidence?"

This was a great opportunity to boost morale, and Harvey certainly wouldn't give up, and he ordered all the boys' corps soldiers who had just finished dinner to line up to see the stinking loot. However, Harvey himself knew in his heart that although the first battle was won, the losses of the orc army were limited, and the situation of the enemy's strength and weakness was not reversed, and the next battle of the city wall defense would still be very difficult, so that night, when the soldiers were resting, he and Stanny led their own soldiers to conduct another inspection of the overall defense situation.

At noon the next day, when the autumn wind blew the military flags on the city's head, the rumbling sound of the orc army in the distance was finally heard.

The scouts sounded the horn of the enemy attack, and Harvey and Stanny, who were deploying defenses on the city walls, hurriedly climbed the nearest watchtower with their core generals and looked north.

Built in the middle of the canyon, the Capra Pass cuts off the largest passage from the Sunset Grassland south to the ancient city of Okugu-state, and is flanked by rolling mountains and a field of wilderness. And now, at the end of Harvey and Stanny's vision, hundreds of black flags were first raised over the wilderness, embroidered with fangs and claws. As the flag rose higher and higher, a black line gradually floated below, and the black line surged closer and closer, and the black pressure almost covered the entire edge of the wasteland.

At the forefront of the middle were the orc light infantry arrays, flanked by wolf cavalry, followed by archers and heavy infantry. Although far away and difficult to see the appearance of the troops, the orc heavy infantry, which was half the height of the ordinary infantry, also put a lot of pressure on the defenders on the city walls. However, this is not the most terrifying, the most terrifying is the row of huge beasts that appear in the pressure array.

The beast was ten feet tall, its limbs were like pillars supporting its massive body like a city wall, and its huge weight made the ground tremble violently because of the collision with the soles of its feet every time it moved forward, and the shock of that huge force could be clearly felt even from the city wall a few miles away, making the hearts of the defenders tremble with it.

"Mammoth!"

Harvey, who witnessed the behemoth, gasped.

"Mammoths are a siege weapon, and they are a great problem for us. ”

Stanny's pupils also contracted violently, he had long heard of the mammoth as a weapon of war, but the mammoth was not powerful in its own combat power, but with the help of the mammoth orcs could build an offensive fortress, this kind of fortress due to the height advantage of the mammoth itself, even in the face of the human wall will not suffer.

"Boom!"

The orc army was getting closer and closer, and the sound of armor rubbing as the team marched was not only not metallic, but rather dull and resonant with the earth.

"Uhhhhhh

As the orc army marched a mile from the walls, a desolate horn sounded in the wasteland.

"Uhhhhhh

"Uhhh

......

Then the sound of trumpets sounded in all directions, and all the trumpets gathered together to disperse the white clouds in the sky, and the mighty echoed across the wilderness, and an invisible aura of slaughter swept across the earth.

"Beat the drums and get ready for battle!"

Harvey jumped down from the watchtower and ordered.

Although the orcs had just arrived, and it was still some time before the siege was reached, Harvey still ordered the soldiers to prepare for the battle, at least not to lose to the other party in terms of momentum. The military musician beat the giant drum, and the thick drum stick struck on the drum surface, and the "bang" loud sound made by the undulating vibration of the skin made of rhinoceros skin formed a sound wave over the city for a while, and the sound wave aroused the blood of the soldiers of the Youth League and swept away the oppression brought by the orc horn.

When the orcs were still six hundred paces away from the wall, the team stopped, a distance that was safe even against trebuchets. Then the sound of the horn began to change, and the orc ranks also changed formation, and began to prepare for the battle, and the baggage soldiers rushed up from the rear, bringing the advance troops the necessary equipment for the siege, and it seemed that the orcs were a little impatient to launch an attack.

"It seems that Stanny didn't teach them enough lessons before, so we'll give them another dismount. ”

Harvey said with a sneer as he held his hand on the battlement, looking at the orcs who were busy preparing for battle in the safety zone six hundred paces away.

"Pass my orders and get the trebuchet ready to fire. Miranda, it's up to you next. ”

Harvey turned, first to the herald, then to Miranda, who was behind him.

"Don't worry. ”

Miranda simply agreed, and under the watchful eyes of Harvey and Stanny, she led the magician beside her and followed the herald down the city wall to a clearing. There was a brigade of the Cadet Corps, but this one was a little different, and instead of swords, they were armed with hundreds of tall wooden frames erected in the clearing, a brigade of trebuchets. There were two cadets of the same size, each stationed in a symmetrical position centered on the city gate.

"Master Mage, is there anything I can do to help?"

The trebuchet captain knew Miranda, so when he saw her coming, he greeted her from afar.

"Commander Harvey has an order for you to fire forty stone projectiles in front of you at the farthest range, in four shots. ”

Before Miranda could reply, the herald had already preemptively conveyed Harvey's order.

"Forty?"

The captain was stunned when he heard this, their brigade was equipped with a total of 138 trebuchets, and the smallest salvo required more than 100 stone shells, and 40 stone bullets were fired in four times, only 10 at a time, and he didn't know why Harvey gave this order. But just as he hesitated, Feiqi, who was next to Miranda, walked up to him and whispered a few words to him, and he suddenly realized that he hurriedly passed on the order.

There was a "squeak" sound, and the projectile rods of the two trebuchets were pulled down, the noose was full of strength, and the stones weighing three hundred pounds were loaded into the net pocket at the top of the throwing rod. However, the trebuchet did not launch immediately, but waited, and at this time Miranda and Feige led eight magic apprentices forward, each of them standing behind a trebuchet and chanting magic spells, and soon the stones in the net pocket began to glow white.

"That's it. ”

Miranda was the first to finish casting, and she nodded to the captain when everyone else was done.

"Attack!"

The captain gave the order, and the soldier immediately swung his knife to cut the rope of the throwing rod, and the fifteen-step projectile rod was driven by the huge torque of the noose, and threw the throwing bag tied to the tail high, and when the throwing bag reached the highest point, the stone weighing three hundred pounds inside broke away from the throwing bag and flew in the direction of the orc camp outside the city under the huge inertia.

"Everybody be careful, trebuchet attack. ”

The whistling sound of the stones flying at high speed caught the attention of the orc soldiers at the forefront who were assembling siege vehicles, and they looked in panic in the direction of the city walls.

"Don't be afraid, humans are just bluffing, and their trebuchets can only project at a distance of five hundred paces at most. ”

An orc infantry squadron leader stood up to comfort the somewhat panicked soldiers, the squadron leader is a veteran, has many years of combat experience with humans, and is very familiar with the performance of human weapons, five hundred steps is the limit of the range of human trebuchets, beyond this distance is safe, and they are at least more than six hundred steps away from the city wall at the moment.

"Whew..."

The roar of the stones came from far and near, but the orc soldiers were no longer worried by the squadron leader's reassurance, and they returned their attention to assembling the siege engine, but at that moment a loud noise rang in their ears.

"Boom!"

The ground shook and the dust was flying. The orc soldiers looked up in surprise to see that the squadron leader who had been comforting them had disappeared, and where he had stood, a huge stone had smashed a hole into the ground.

"Whew... Boom!"

"Whew... Boom!"

Before the orc soldiers could figure out what was going on, the boulders above their heads fell one after another.

"Oh my God! The squadron leader got it wrong. ”

"Human trebuchets can hit us. ”

"Run!"

Under the blow of the trebuchet, the orc soldiers could only flee in a hurry, and even led other soldiers behind them to flee together, and the official attack had not yet begun, and the front of the orcs had fallen into chaos.
