Chapter 141: Jingguan
All orcs have been deceived!
The first wall looks fragile, but in fact part of it is not made of cement at all. Build it with the rubble that can be found everywhere on the mountain, and then apply a layer of cement ash on the outside, let alone hit it with a rough log, even if a stronger orc uses his shoulder, he may be able to pierce it.
The rest of the first wall is made of solid reinforced concrete.
Not to mention tree trunks, even a battering ram of pure iron is difficult to smash open.
The reason why there are a few gaps left is to make the orcs think that all the walls are vulnerable, and then follow these gaps that they 'smash' into the Lorrainburgers' defense zone.
Between the first and second layers of the city walls, there are urn castles dug out in advance according to the topography.
Looking at it from the outside, the two-story city wall should be a slope, who knew that after entering, it was found that it was going down. On the surface, the five-meter-high city wall actually counts the difference in terrain, and suddenly becomes eleven or two meters. Steep walls cannot be climbed without a dedicated ladder.
However, Martin was very chicken thief, and did not make this ghost place a pure urn city, leaving one or two dirt slopes in each big pit that could allow orcs to run over the second layer of the city wall.
It's a pity that under the city wall, there are very few places where people can stand, and about a dozen orcs can stand up to the sky.
These orcs can only rush up from the designated recesses that create the bastion structure.
From a distance, there is indeed a steady stream of orcs killing the second city wall, but in fact, no more than ten orcs can go up to the city wall at a time. And because of the design, any orc will face more than twenty spearmen and sword and shield soldiers the moment they go up.
As soon as I went up......
"One, two, three!" shouted the captain of the spearmen, and a dozen steel-tipped spears stabbed at different angles. Ordinary orcs can carry ghosts.
On the spot, it became a bloody basket and fell directly.
In order to prevent accidents, there are at least two official knights with servants in each recess.
If the orcs can still attack like this, then there is really a ghost.
On the third level of the wall, the wall was five meters wide enough to line up three rows of archers from peasant background. They safely hid behind a stack of arrows and a column of shieldmen, bending their bows and shooting arrows to their heart's content, feeling the effect of the wind on the arrows.
Right!
Martin let them brush up on their experience in real combat.
If you shoot arrows until your arms are slightly weak, you can stop, and after shooting five rounds, you can go down the city wall and change people. It's even easier than practicing at a grass target.
On the surface, the Lorrainburgers still rely on bows and arrows as long-range attacks, but when they get close, it is not the same at all.
On the high slope behind the second wall, a skilled spearman threw spears over the walls that were slightly shorter than his own, and then fell into the pits.
The spear of the pig iron spearhead, which fell into the pit under the action of gravity, easily harvested the life of the orcs. Because the contact between the diamond-shaped spearhead and the barrel of the spear was small, the spearhead was almost cut off when it entered the flesh, and the orcs could not even throw the spear on the city wall in turn.
This siege can be called thunder and rain.
The orcs rushed up the city wall in waves, and each time the orc generals who commanded in the back felt that they were about to take it. However, it couldn't be attacked.
After attacking for four hours, the orc mortality rate skyrocketed.
When the fourth thousand-man team was sent, the orc commander felt that something was wrong no matter how stupid he was, but at this time, the news of the fall of the second layer of the city wall came from the front.
"Is it my delusion?" muttered the Captain.
However, it is a fact that more burly green figures have climbed the second layer of the city wall, and not only that, but several human arrow towers can be seen to be smashed and collapsed.
"Keep attacking!"
In the fortress, Martin and Kouden and others were sneering.
The Lorraine Fort soldiers who had retreated from the front were also talking loudly about the battle they had just had.
"I can't believe that our squad has killed at least thirty orcs. ”
"Fart, if I didn't have a shield for you to block, you would have died a long time ago. ”
"Yes, yes, I went back and took the bounty and invited the brothers of the Sword and Shield Team to drink!"
Orc heads are valuable, and Martin offers a bounty of 50 silver pegasus for each adult orc warrior's head, and the goblin is 10 silver pegasus.
The sword and shield men, pikemen, spearmen, and archers who defended the city would split the bounty in a ratio of 3:3:2:2.
The bounty will be settled on the same day, and you can get it when you go down the mountain and return to Lorrainburg.
This is definitely a huge amount of money for many soldiers of civilian origin.
What's more, after fighting for so long, there are few compatriots who have died. On the contrary, there were many wounded, most of them were sword and shield soldiers who were smashing the left arm holding the shield with a heavy weapon before the orc died.
Martin frowned, he found that he had overlooked the difference in physique between the two sides.
Overall, morale on the Lorrainburg side was very high.
And on the third layer of the city wall, Martin will no longer let the game.
Directly sent to the infantry of the Golden Horse Knights. These professional soldiers, who have been in the army for an average of more than three years, have better tactical literacy.
Under the defensive structure similar to the first and second floors, due to the topography, the third layer of the wall is narrower and has a smaller defensive area, which makes the infantry of the Golden Horse Knights more comfortable.
The battle lasted all day, and the orcs left behind more than four thousand corpses and found nothing.
Of course, it still seems to the orc generals - if you work harder, you can take that damn human castle.
That night, few orcs suspected that it was an imminent victory.
"Hahaha! We've had a lot of deaths, but it's better for the weak scum to die and save some meat. Chief, I'll take that damn human castle for you tomorrow and kill the cowardly humans inside. Captain Baruru* slammed his chest in promise.
"It's okay, the orcs just need warriors, and those wastes die when they die. Chief Bubol didn't care, in his eyes, only those orc warriors who were incorporated into the official army by him, or rather, only the orcs who became black orcs were the real orcs: "Since you are sure, then I will not transfer the troops of the Baden Forest back." ”
However, the development of events was quite unexpected.
Next, Baluru led his army to attack for five days, and the closest thing to victory was only to attack the third layer of the wall, but there was no further advance.
In the whole of Ggent, all the orcs of the irregular army have been wiped out, and there is still no light of victory. Even if they use a lot of catapults, they won't be able to smash the human castle!
"Chief, no more fighting! Fight again! The Orcs of Gentry are going extinct!" said Grat*Steel Fang, almost crying and begging Chief Bubol to cease fighting.
By the end of the day, Bubbor almost agreed.
But one piece of news made the entire Skull Splitting Clan go berserk!
Human beings have built a view of the capital......
