The orc troops attacking the fourth city wall today are a coalition army composed of Duke Devic and more than 20 vassals under him, with a total strength of more than 62,000 people, which has a two-to-one strength advantage over the defenders on the city wall.

The Wuthering Plateau is also a huge and barren land, all that can be seen at a glance is the appearance of an endless loess high slope, there is very little green vegetation, and in the twelve months of the year, there are at least ten months of the wind blowing by, so it has obtained the name of the image of the Wuthering Plateau.

But even so, there are still more than two million orcs living in this land, who live in the ruined caves they have dug themselves, and live strong with few resources, and multiply and grow gradually.

Even such a place is still a moderate environment in the Orc Empire, so Wuthering Heights was divided into two imperial dukedoms, and the two dukes were also divided into dozens of direct minor nobles.

In fact, this is also a portrayal of the living conditions of the vast majority of orcs, they don't have too many extravagant expectations for the quality of life, all they ask is to live, if there must be a goal, then it is a bit of dignity and freedom to live.

The harsh environment, the lack of food and clothing, and the threat of those hungry beasts, the orcs who grew up in such a harsh environment have such an indifferent and calm attitude towards death, and the orcs who have a loyal belief in the temple of the god of war only die on the battlefield, and there are very few deserters.

Roland I, the founding emperor of the Roland Empire, once said that it was fortunate that those filthy orcs did not have decent equipment and magical power, and the barren land made it impossible for them to develop and grow, otherwise the rest of the entire Fira continent would have been prostrate at the feet of the orcs.

Nearly a thousand years later, however, with the miraculous rise of a small dwarf lord, this finally began to change, and the orcs once again let out a roar that made the continent tremble.

Today is also the first time that Niu Dali has seen the scene of a large-scale battle between other orc troops and humans, so early in the morning, he led the big and small officers to observe the battle.

The little dwarf was invited to his home camp by the extremely enthusiastic Duke of Devich, and in the middle of the formation, the Duke of the Bear Man solemnly expressed his gratitude to the little dwarf, and the reason for his gratitude was that the steel ingots and equipment provided by the steel collar cheaply finally gave his soldiers decent equipment.

Looking at the so-called decent equipment worn by Duke Xiongren's men, Niu Dali's heart was very helpless and sad.

In Duke Bearman's troops, except for his two hundred direct guards and officers in the troops, who barely had a set of armor and weapons produced by the Iron Collar, the rest of the orcs were equipped with a rudimentary equipment.

The two thousand bear-man warriors were considered the most elite warriors under Duke Devic, and their whole body was the upper body, and they took a steel plate roughly knocked out of the shape of the steel plate to block their chests, plus a heavy helmet on their heads and a short-handled one-handed axe in their hands, and the workmanship was extremely rough.

There is no defense at all in the hands and feet, and the back of the back, in the words of the Duke of the Bear, the back of the orcs who are always charging will never need to be defended.

The rest of the nearly 60,000 people, orc warriors of more than a dozen races can't even guarantee an iron plate and helmet on the upper body, and those with better conditions are wearing old leather armor for several generations, but the steel weapon is one for each person.

If a long wooden pole has a steel spear head on it, it can be considered a steel weapon.

Niu Dali couldn't imagine that this was still called decent equipment, so when it wasn't decent before, it would be shabby.

Duke Bearman's troops formed a formation under the fourth wall, and the heavy catapults and ballista carts supported by the Iron Collar all entered the battle position, except for the main operator, who was still the militia of the Iron Lord, and the rest of the loaders were all replaced by the Duke of the Bearren's men.

After yesterday's battle, there were still eight wells left in good condition, but more than half of the two battalions of kobold musketeers were killed and wounded, and they were really unable to fight again today, so they were replaced by sheep-headed archers under Duke Bearman.

The sheep-headed archers with excellent archery talents, after being equipped with the strong crossbow captured by the little dwarf yesterday, can barely suppress the city defense equipment on the city wall, and they can still do it.

Dozens of cowhide drums were beaten, officially opening the curtain of the battle, and the guards beside the Duke of the Bear Man waved the big flag in their hands, and with this order, the orcs launched an offensive.

The catapults and ballista carts, which had been loaded long ago, fired at the garrison equipment on the city walls, while nearly 30,000 orcs, carrying hundreds of ladders, rushed towards the city walls in a swarm.

The remaining 30,000 troops were also ready to charge at any time, and it seemed that Duke Xiongren was planning to storm the city walls in one go.

There are about a dozen war priests who blessed the Duke of Bear's troops with a war song, which is a drop in the bucket compared to the size of the 60,000 troops, at most only about 3,000 people who rushed to the front, and obtained a war song blessing, and no orcs complained, because compared to previous battles, the blessings of this scale are considered luxurious.

Perhaps it was after yesterday's battle that the defenders of the Northern Legion became familiar with a little of the orcs' new way of fighting, and after a night's summary, they fought a lot more methodically today.

First of all, they were full of people on the city wall, and in view of the fact that the city defense equipment in their hands could not defeat the orcs, they added more than twice as many ballistas and trebuchets overnight, which means that the quality is not enough to make up the quantity.

Although the Northern Legion had the advantage in height, the range of their trebuchets and ballistae could not reach the siege equipment of the Iron Collar, so they simply arranged for the mages accompanying the army to destroy the stone bullets and ballistas fired by the orcs, and concentrate on firing at the charging infantry and the wells.

Each stone projectile fired from the wall would take more than a dozen lives among the charging orcs, and the two-meter-long ballista would penetrate a long string of bodies in a row before exhausting all of its kinetic energy.

Niu Dali saw a ballista continuously strung the bodies of nine orcs before exhausting his remaining strength, and several powerful minotaurs did not die immediately for a while, helplessly threw down the weapons in their hands, holding the thick ballistas in both hands and wailing.

In this brutal battlefield, the orcs died in the charge every second, but there were no orcs retreating at all, they ignored the fallen comrades beside them, and only roared and fought forward.

A badger officer used the snow bright sword in his hand to end the lives of the few Minotaurs who had not died after being strung with ballistas, so that they no longer suffered inhuman pain, and then the badger officer continued to charge towards the city wall, but his steps seemed to be a little faster.

After paying more than 3,000 casualties, Duke Bearman's troops finally entered within a hundred yards of the city, and then as the order from the city head sounded, tens of thousands of armor-piercing arrows shot down at these orcs who had little protection at all.
