Chapter 430: The First Battle
The evacuation of the civilians in Night Town was very unsmooth, and half of the people did not go out for the whole night. The mayor of the town, Duke Elo Eberlock, had gray hair, and he barely rested that night.
Yan Hanshui slept quite well, after all, how to fight with orcs if he didn't rest well. The members of the trial team were well rested, as they were used to fighting. Most of those mercenaries slept well, and the same was true for the profession of licking blood from the knife edge. The rest of the people were either a little agitated or holding something to pray.
In the early morning of the next day, Qinglan suddenly woke up. "Prepare for battle, the enemy has already passed through the watchtower we went to yesterday, and there is still half a day or so." After saying this, Qinglan immediately went to find the duke. She placed a special vigilance spell at the location of the watchtower, and whenever a large group of people passed by, she would be notified of some reaction.
A group of people quickly get busy, wash and eat, and then assign combat posts, and there must be a sniper battle in Nighttown, because the speed of civilians is too slow.
The duke gritted his teeth when he heard Qinglan's words, except for the simple things, all the remaining things were discarded, and these people must all leave before noon.
Then he gathered his six or seven hundred troops and stood by near the various bunkers in the village. Although there is only one road to the north, the Orcs will take a detour to the east to attack.
Unfortunately, Nighttown has no walls, and even the fences are of the simplest kind, so no one here would have thought that there would be an enemy attack in the hinterland of the kingdom of Azeroth.
At noon, the forces of nature not far away informed Hariran again. So knowing that the enemy was coming, humans were so nervous that they were ready to go.
Soon a group of five or six hundred frostwolf warriors appeared in front of them, and a small number of these warriors rode frostwolves, and how many human soldiers were already trembling with fear when they saw the appearance of the orcs. And the orcs didn't care, the humans who found them.
"Chief, let's just kill them, these humans are weak." Beside Chief Durotan, an orc with an axe said. On the other side of Durotan is his spouse Draca, and his newborn baby Goule
In the center of the team, Betty, who was defeated by Smoke and Cold Water, was there. When she returned, she was taunted by Gul'dan because the Frostwolf Clan had not drunk the blood of Manolos and was already a heretic among the orcs.
But Durotan did not blame Betty, and he said to Betty: "In any race, there will be great warriors. Your lesson has also taught you not to underestimate any enemy. ”
Betty then told Durotan what they had said, and said that the direction they had left was the same place that Gul'dan had forbidden them to set foot in.
Durotan thought for a moment: "Don't tell anyone about this. ”
Stepping back, Betty hopes to meet the woman again, and the shame that the human woman has brought her can only be washed away with blood. However, it seemed that this wish would soon come true, as Yan Hanshui was quietly watching it all from the watchtower they controlled.
"It's not easy to fight...... Yan Hanshui muttered, and then looked at the soldiers who were trembling a little around him.
Mores calmly looked at the group of monster-like enemies below, whether it was height, weight, or the size of the weapon, they were much stronger than human soldiers. "Lady Smoke and Cold Water, this is the enemy we are going to face? Are they just ordinary soldiers? "Mores also knows that this fight is definitely not going to be easy to fight.
Yan Hanshui nodded: "What we do is not to fight hard, but to protect civilians as much as possible." Remember, if you can use a ranged weapon, don't go up to hand-to-hand combat, it's too much of a loss to engage in hand-to-hand combat with that physique. ”
"Prepare the ballistas, they're attacking! Leave nothing alone for a while, just play three rounds and get out of here immediately. And the ballista mechanism was destroyed, so they couldn't get it completely. Yan Hanshui commanded, and equipped all the ballistas with ballistas.
Soon a group of orcs with huge axes began to attack, and they easily tore through the fence that the humans had prepared in Nighttown. In their eyes, it was like a piece of paper, and the dozens of soldiers in Night Town barely organized a formation that was directly impacted by seven or eight frostwolf soldiers, and even directly chopped by orcs with sticks or axes.
Smoke and cold water were on top of the watchtower, looked at the range and shouted at the Mores men, "Shoot!" ”
A few crossbow spears with long hair and a meter flew out, this thing was not very accurate, but those orcs were right at the entrance of Night Town, so five ballistas hit four orc warriors. No matter how powerful the orc warrior is, he is also a flesh and blood creature, and he was directly nailed to the ground and screamed.
Mores and a group of human soldiers cheered, and immediately reloaded the ballista with great speed. At the protective gate not far from Nighttown, the Duke was directing people to build a defensive line.
To be honest, the fence gate didn't play any role, and the duke was very depressed. It's not even two hours before the civilians evacuate from Nightlight. According to the speed of the orcs, it is estimated that they will be able to catch up in more than half an hour, and the duke secretly complains that his hundreds of people can't resist for long.
Rack up your shield and stop those monsters! The duke shouted, and immediately more than a dozen people came to the key place, and they put up their shields. At this time, a frostwolf soldier rushed here, and he looked at the human shield array without cutting it, and then at the duke not far away.
"Kill a human leader, and I guess I'll be able to rise to the Stone Guard." The orc was very excited, and rushed directly on the frost wolf.
The shield array of humans is indeed good, but these soldiers have also been trained for a long time, and the duke himself still has some ability. But they still underestimated the orcs, because the frostwolf jumped and jumped directly over the shield wall.
To protect the Duke, two soldiers rushed directly beside the Duke. But one of them was directly smashed by the orc's hammer, and the other was a little frightened to step forward. The orc laughed, and then rushed towards the duke.
The human body is too weak, and the duke's body is weaker than the soldier. But just when the orc had just rushed four or five meters in front of the duke, a red light suddenly emerged from the duke's body.
Then a huge fireball slammed into the orc's face. The orcs were directly knocked out by the power of the flames, and the orcs who had not been cut down by so many people were directly ignited and quickly burned to charcoal.
The frost wolf was also hit by a flame blast from the duke, and was soon burned to death. A group of human soldiers immediately became excited, and although they were still pressed and beaten by the orcs, they finally saw a little hope.
And at this time, their ballistas were activated, and several orcs who had just arrived in front of the human shield array were shot dead, and the remaining humans finally blocked the gap that was attacked.
