Chapter 324: The Man-Eating Trench
Because the enemy uprising would be two days later, Sun Licheng estimated that he had no time to make other preparations, so he gathered all the troops back to the barracks and fortresses, and quietly evacuated the surrounding residents while starting to build defense facilities.
The two days passed like a white horse, and soon passed, and according to the report of the Jinyi Guard, many half-orcs with suspicious whereabouts began to gather together.
"Thank you for your hard work, let everyone protect themselves during this time. When the enemy's attack is repelled, I will not only give you a holiday, but also give you a more generous reward. ”
Sun Licheng said to a half-orc brocade guard officer, who nodded gratefully and retreated.
At that moment, Mr. Skillful flew in from outside.
"According to the personnel we sent, the Janissaries of the Orc Empire have not made any moves, and are still cowering in their barracks, with no orders to come to our aid. ”
Mr. Skillful flew to Sun Licheng's side and whispered to him.
After hearing Mr. Qiaoshou's words, Sun Licheng smiled bitterly. King Hart III, regardless of whether he was seriously injured or not, now made it clear that he was letting himself and Wolf lead the gang to the death, what an old fritter. But I can't help it, after all, if you want to find the fragment of Godhead, you always have to go through the orc empire, and the half-orc collar is a very good place to stay.
He walked over to the large world map hanging on the wall, and slid his hand lightly from the Goblin Kingdom to the Orc Realm. The Half-Orc Territory is a prominent part of the Orc Empire, and from here you can travel to the human area as well as to the Dwarven Hills, and the location can be said to be very important. Of course, this is also the reason why all countries want to let the orc territory be chaotic, after all, such a good separation zone can effectively prevent unnecessary wars in several important countries. So King Hart III appointed himself as the Prince of the Orcs, in fact, he wanted to put himself at the front.
"Old fox. ”
Sun Licheng shook his head helplessly and mocked himself. But he quickly regained his mood and said to Mr. Skillful: "Pass my order that all fortifications must be built before supper in order to cope with the impending crisis. ”
All of Sun Licheng's subordinates already knew that the cultists of the evil gods had completed the tandem, and the elite cavalry of Wolfridge had also entered, so they worked extremely hard to build fortifications, although many people did not understand why they wanted to build such a twisted deep ditch and pile up the excavated soil on the outward side, but they also knew that their commander was a dignified chosen one. In this world, as long as you have anything to do with the gods, you have great power, and as the most important believer of the gods, the Chosen One, which is almost equivalent to the great sacrifice of the church, is very noble. So the orcs were very obedient, and an hour or so before dinner, all the trenches had been dug. That's right, this is the barbed wire trench position set up by Sun Licheng in imitation of the trench warfare during World War I.
After digging the trenches, all the soldiers returned to the barracks, and in a short time lightning broke out in the sky, and soon a torrential rain filled the heavens and the earth.
And in a house not very far from the barracks, a half-orc wrapped in a black cotton robe looked at the dim sky and dense raindrops, and kept spitting in his heart.
At this time, a half-orc next to him walked up to him, looked at the heavy rain outside, and said, "It's really strange, we rarely rain here, but I didn't expect it to rain so heavily today, and there was no warning at all." ”
The black-robed half-orc nodded, and said worriedly: "We have already planned to launch an attack on the lord army today, and this heavy rain will cause us a lot of trouble." ”
And in the fortress of the lord's army, Sun Licheng turned his head happily like Caroline and said: "The strength of His Majesty the Rain God is still very strong, and now, the enemy's combat effectiveness is at least fifty percent lower." ”
It turned out that this rain was prayed by Sun Licheng to His Majesty the rain god. In the exchange, although those good gods did not dare to blatantly support Sun Licheng because of the constraints of the wheel of order, after all, it was more than a dozen evil gods who were going to make trouble this time, plus several powerful gods behind Solomon, if they helped directly, they would give the other party the excuse to fully intervene, so they could only play side balls in some places, and it was very simple to make a heavy rain.
By midnight, the rain had not stopped, and the two moons in the sky were long gone, and it was dark and gloomy everywhere.
"Priest, are our men ready, act?"
In the same house, a half-orc in leather armor and a huge machete in his hand walked up to the black-robed half-orc, bowed down and asked for instructions.
The black-robed orc looked at the hourglass in the house and nodded at him. The latter straightened up and strode out, and in a short time there was a whispered rebuke from the courtyard, and soon a large number of people walked out of the courtyard.
If you look down from the sky, you will find that from the streets, there are waves of dark and gloomy people, each of which has at least a thousand people, and the total number is nearly 30,000.
These orcs have a stick or something in their mouths, their eyes are full of fanaticism, most of them have no armor, but the weapons in their hands are good, especially here, the famous orc axemen on the continent are more than 5,000.
It didn't take long for these orcs to come to Sun Licheng's outlying position, and they were soon spotted by the sentries in the trenches.
"Who's on the other side?"
A mole-man musketeer in a raincoat shouted vigilantly as if outside. As soon as he finished speaking, a whistling sound fell at him. The Mole Man immediately sensed the danger and quickly burrowed into a pre-made anti-cannon hole. Almost as soon as he rushed into the bomb hole, the sound of fried beans filled his ears. When he stabilized his body and looked out, he was horrified to find that there were countless hand axes poking at the place where he was standing just now.
Knowing that the enemy was coming, the Mole Man Musketeer rushed to the innermost part of the bomb hole, pressed the alarm, and then the cacophony of sirens rang out through the heavens and the earth.
"Hmph, carving insect skills, pass my orders, attack!"
The commander of the evil god believers didn't panic at all when he heard the siren, he snorted coldly, and waved forward to order, and then, countless orc evil god believers silently rushed towards the barracks and fortresses of the lord army.
The reason why the cultists of the evil gods launched an attack at night was that they were afraid that the air fleet would give them a devastating blow during the day, but now, the charging orcs regretted it a little. Not only was the sky gray, but the rain was intensive, and the most uncomfortable thing was that the soil on the ground became muddy after being soaked by the rain, which seriously slowed down their speed.
But they kept hypnotizing themselves with strong faith, and finally ran close to the first line of trenches.
There weren't many soldiers in the first trench, but they had at least five dwarf machine guns in their hands. The leading Minotaur officer looked at the black shadow that was getting closer and closer, and kept whispering to the side: "No one is allowed to shoot, steady, steady, steady, get closer and fight again." ”
In this way, under the command of this minotaur officer, the whole trench seemed quiet, which pleased the charging orcs, who had already imagined themselves burning and looting after storming into the barracks and fortress.
Suddenly, countless flames suddenly appeared from the trenches in front of them, and the most terrifying thing was that five continuous chains of fire were like big brooms, knocking down the formation of the half-orc evil god believers who were charging at the front.
"Fire me and fight me to death. ”
The minotaur shouted as he threw the axe in his hand.
The cultists had expected the attack to be blocked, and in a few moments, countless hand axes flew into the air, and immediately after, a large number of magic slammed into the lord's line like hail.
Although the magic world at this time seems to be in the era of cold weapons, because of the existence of magic and the blessing of talent, the battle has a strong flavor of hot weapon war at the beginning.
Although relying on the excellent armor provided by Sun Licheng, the lord army withstood the enemy's long-range attack at the beginning, but soon there were casualties, and what was even worse was that in order to avoid the long-range attack, the firepower of the lord army inevitably weakened, which made the charging half-orc evil god believers immediately find an opportunity, and they frantically opened their legs and feet and rushed over at a faster speed.
"Machine guns, machine guns, why don't you fire?"
The Minotaur officer cursed as he ran to a machine gun that had been extinguished, and when he got there, he found that the machine gunner and the ammunition man had fallen to the ground, and they were full of shiny hand axes, and next to the two fighters, several Mole Man fighters who had also fallen to death, apparently killed by the enemy's long-range fire while fighting for the machine guns.
"!"
Seeing the tragic situation in front of him, the Minotaur scolded, but at this moment, a huge fireball accurately hit another machine gun position, and with a violent explosion, the machine gun and the launcher were directly blown away.
Seeing that the troops were getting smaller and smaller, the minotaur shouted to the side: "Retreat, retreat with weapons, bring machine guns with you." ”
With the order given, the lord's army began to gradually cover the withdrawal of positions, because the interception fire was greatly reduced, and the cultists of the evil gods jumped into the first line of trenches in a short time.
The Cultist Commander who was watching the battle from a distance couldn't help but smile with satisfaction on the corners of his mouth when he saw his men so brave.
But he didn't know that the orcs who rushed into the trench were miserable. As the lords retreated, they threw a lot of triangular thistles into the trenches, each with three long spikes, and no matter how they were placed, one side always rushed high on one side. Now that the rain was pouring and the sky was as dark as ink, the orcs who rushed into the trenches could see these little things clearly, and they were immediately hit in a large area, and fell down with a scream.
Of course, the thistle terrestris could not keep everyone in the trench, and there were still quite a few orcs rushing out of the trench, but this trench was very unscrupulous, not only deep, but also completely vertical on the other side, and it took a long time to climb up with all the strength of the whole body. You must know that every second on the battlefield can decide life and death, and Sun Licheng asked the troops to dig trenches like this, which is a trap for these turtles.
In the second trench, the lord army, which had been replenished by the first row of trench troops, looked at the devastated evil god believers, and immediately manipulated all kinds of muskets, spitting out a scorching line of fire in front of them, and those orc evil god believers who were struggling to climb up were quickly smashed in the heads one by one by the lord army like targets.
Because of the blockage of the first row of trenches, the commander of the cult god could not see the effect of the attack, until the cultists at the front couldn't hold on and broke back, and then they suddenly realized.
And at this time, several bright flares were shot into the sky by artillery, and the lord's army began to counterattack.
