Chapter 559: Battle Damage
The Golden Legion, as the number one ace of the Holy Griffin Empire, does have their advantages. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoBefore the first pig-clan warrior who had climbed the city wall could gain a foothold, several heavily armed warriors around him rushed forward and pushed the triumphant, shouting pig-man warrior off the wall with their shields.
With a scream, the pigman warrior fell from the towering wall, his heavy body smashed into a pulp along with several unsuspecting canine orcs below the wall. The legionnaires who had been knocked to the ground by the pig warriors were helped back to their feet by their companions and quickly returned to their posts. As the battle heats up, orc warriors continue to climb the walls of the fortress, but the soldiers of the Golden Legion fight back desperately to destroy them one by one.
Although the Golden Legion held the walls for the time being, it came at the cost of a huge battle loss rate. Almost every orc who climbed the city wall required the sacrifice of several human soldiers to be eliminated, and the number of heavily armed warriors on the city wall was gradually decreasing, and if it continued like this, I am afraid that it would be only a matter of time before it was breached.
Outside the fortress, the leaders and patriarchs of the three major tribal legions also saw the changes on the fortress wall, and the pig clan patriarch Drew Blackhoof said with satisfaction: "Hmph! The children are doing a good job, if you continue like this, in another hour, it is estimated that you will be able to occupy the city wall." ”
The big round eyes of Mollo Sharp Horn, the leader of the Swordhorn Clan, glanced at Drew Blackhoof, and then turned away from it, in the eyes of Mollow Sharp Horn, there was nothing to say to a vulgar creature like the Pig Clan.
Don't look at the pig people are lazy, greedy and shameless, and their IQ is not very high, but they are physically strong, and the most important thing is that their fertility is really a must in the empire. These pigmen can give birth to two litters a year, each with seven or eight births, but they have a huge appetite, and about half of the food in the entire orc empire goes into the belly of the pigmen. If it weren't for the fact that they weren't picky eaters and could eat any leftovers, it is estimated that those high-level races of the Orc Empire would have been unable to stand it and kill the pig clan first.
This situation also caused the pig clan to have a low status in the orc empire, coupled with their low IQ, very few clansmen can naturally awaken into shamans, so whether it is a carnivorous strong combat race or a docile herbivorous race, these pig people are not welcome.
The current battle is fierce, and there are constantly orc warriors falling from the city walls or being skewered into meat skewers by giant crossbows, but it is not at all a problem for the pig tribe, which has a large population, but it is different for the swordantle.
Although the Swordantle Clan does not have fertility difficulties, a female Swordbuck can only give birth to one Swordbuck every year, and reproduction is also a very important thing for the Swordbuck. At the moment, the pig man has rough skin and thick flesh and is not afraid of bows and arrows, but those swordantelope pitchers are different.
The archers in the human arrow tower suppressed the swordantelope pitchers outside the city with all their might, and the arrows were tantamount to a life-urging charm for the defenseless swordantle pitchers, and because of the hasty battle, the swordantle pitchers had no fortifications to hide, so they could only shoot against those human archers.
Seeing Drew Blackhoof's triumphant eyes and screaming vigorously to cheer on his own warriors, Dog's patriarch Doug Greypaw felt a headache. Although he is not as distressed by the sacrifice of the Swordantelope as he is, Doug Greypaw is not willing to sacrifice too many warriors on this fortress.
Unlike the stupid pigmen, Doug Greypaw's mind is very clear, it is impossible for the human fortress to have such a small number of troops, don't look at the pigman warriors and canine warriors constantly climbing the city wall, bringing casualties to the human defenders again and again, but in fact, the heaviest losses are still on their own.
The Swordantelope pitcher couldn't suppress the human archers who were protected by the arrow tower, but they were shot by the humans and turned their horses on their backs and screamed bitterly, and looking at the corners of Moro Lei's convulsive eyes, it was clear that its endurance was about to reach its limit.
However, because the pigman is not very clear, he doesn't know what it means to be afraid, and he is still screaming and rushing upward, while the canine warriors mostly hide behind the pigmen, and when the pigmen climb the city wall to attract the attention of the defenders, they suddenly rush out and knock over a piece of defenders, and those canine warriors are agile and flexible, once they see a bad situation, they will immediately jump off the city wall, slide down the long ladder, and wait patiently for the next opportunity to attack. Therefore, the canine clan actually suffered the least losses in this siege battle, and the results were also the most.
However, no matter how cunning and cunning the canine clan is, once the canine clan can't bear the huge battle damage and collapses, then the canine warriors who also have no ability to defend will follow in the footsteps of the swordantle pitchers and become the key target of human archers, which is not a good thing for the canine clan.
Doug Greypaw's eyes rolled around as he opened his mouth to discuss with Moro Sharphorn, the leader of the Swordantelope Clan, "Now it seems that our siege battle is too hasty, and we are not prepared enough to let many children die in vain, so it is better to retreat for a while, rest again, and then join the Eagle Clan and the Centaur Clan to advance and retreat together." ”
This proposal was simply perfect for the anxious Morro Sharp Horn, who nodded his head like a kowtow worm: "Good, good, good! I agree with the proposal of the Graypaw Chief!"
Drew Blackhoof on the side was unwilling, he frowned and snorted and objected: "What are you kidding, our warriors have already attacked the city wall many times, and it is a good time to take the city wall in one go, how can you retreat like this? Hmph~, what kind of bad idea are you, you are simply cowards!"
The open-mouthed Drew Blackhoof didn't know that his words immediately offended the two patriarchs, and the leader of the Swordantelope Clan, Moro Lijiao, pulled a long face and said: "You can't win a battle without preparation, I can't watch my child die so worthless in vain, anyway, our Swordhorn Clan agreed to take a temporary break, and if you pig clan has the ability, go and take down the city wall yourself!"
Drew Blackhoof's attack on Mollo Sharp Horn stumped Drew Blackhoof, and without the Antelope to confront the human archers, his pigman warriors would have to be shot into hedgehogs. Drew Blackhoof, who didn't have a lot of brains, gave Doug Greypaw an embarrassed look, only to see that Doug Greypaw was about to give the herald the order to retreat.
