Chapter 218: The Fortress's Flank Attack

After a wave of attacks from the ogre slingers, the heavily shielded infantry who had been standing by under the Starlight Ridge immediately ran up the city wall quickly, and then picked up the heavy iron shields that had been placed behind the battlements and held them on their heads.

Lin Feng watched them deal with this sudden situation in an orderly manner and according to the steps of the previous training, except for a little panic at the beginning, they were doing quite well at other times, "Sweat more in peacetime, and shed less blood in wartime, it seems that after they have gone through the kind of high-intensity training before, this result is not bad!" Lin Feng's heart was still a little complacent.

The ordinary medical soldiers in Lin Feng's army can also be regarded as one of his "first" achievements, the regular armies of the countries on the Strands and the private armies of various lords, their army does not have such a "medical guard" as a formation, they generally hire some priests, druids and shamans with healing talents to treat their wounded.

Of course, due to their unique talents, the number of this kind of healing-oriented legal professionals is much smaller than that of ordinary offensive legal professionals, and naturally, in the old-fashioned army, the people who can get their healing are basically knights or above or nobles, and ordinary soldiers have nothing to rely on except for the few low-level healing potions assigned in their hands.

Because of this, after every war, a large number of low-level soldiers die of wounds or post-injury infections, and the effect of low-level healing potions, well, it can be seen from the word "low-level", that their effect is to allow wounded soldiers to survive a battle.

As for after the battle, because their injuries will not heal automatically, and in addition, if the wounds are not properly treated in the later stage, they will die.

In the historical records of later generations, the attack and defense of the fortress of Niems pioneered several "firsts" and "firsts", and the "medical soldiers" appeared on the battlefield as an official establishment of the army, which is one of the most dazzling "achievements".

After the test of this offensive and defensive battle, the great achievement created by the "medical soldiers" - reducing the mortality rate of wounded soldiers to 8 percent, instead of the usual 86 percent, well, this achievement shocked a group of old-fashioned army generals, which also made Lin Feng's reputation in his own army go straight to worship.

After all, if a group of trained ordinary people can save so many comrades-in-arms with simple cleaning and bandaging, disinfection and hemostasis, the lord's "wisdom" is almost bursting in their hearts!

Seeing that their ogre slingers had successfully suppressed the fire of those human musketeers, Black and Beydoun immediately gave the order to let the orc barbarians in front take the opportunity to attack the city.

These orc brutes were obviously trained in agility and specialization, and when they rushed to the bottom of the walls, each orc brute took out a steel claw with tough beast tendons attached to it from their waists, and then, with a wave of their arms, they threw one steel claw after another onto the city and firmly grasped the wall.

After testing the strength, I felt that it was about the same, and the group of orc brutes who were in a hurry began to grab the beast tendons and climb towards the city. From afar, after Blake and Beydoun saw this situation, their hearts relaxed, "Those humans seem to be very easy to deal with, no, a charge, and they are about to reach the top of the city!"

It's just that Blake and Beydoun didn't know that the weird-looking castle in front of them was called "Starlight Fortress" at this time, and Lin Feng would not be kind enough to popularize the difference between "Fortress" and old-fashioned castle to them.

On the front wall of the wall attacked by the orcs, the musketeers and gunners here have received orders to temporarily conceal, and the heavy shield infantry who have completed the task of covering the medical guards have also re-brought a defensive belt composed of steel heavy shields in the back half of the city wall, and in front of them is a small open space deliberately given up for the enemy who kicked the city, of course, behind their heavy shields, the musketeers and pikemen are also ready one after another.

On both sides of this section of the frontal city wall, two sharp triangles protrude from each other, the sharp corners of the triangles are more than twenty meters long from the front city wall, and above them are closed watchtowers, and the top floor of the watchtowers is a steep spire, Lin Feng will not tell the orcs on the opposite side that his design is to prevent the enemy from kicking the city from here.

Just after the first orc brute climbed the front city wall, the soldiers in the watchtowers on both sides quickly moved away from the stone baffles that originally blocked the shooting holes of the watchtowers, and the opening direction of these shooting holes was also precisely calculated, and they stretched out their muskets from here, just enough to hit the orc barbarians who climbed the front city wall, and they still fired at their flanks and rear, and they were caught off guard.

It is also to teach the orcs a profound lesson, Lin Feng has covered up the watchtowers on both sides very well, when the orc barbarians just rushed to the city, he deliberately let them continue to go deeper, and now, in the range of the protruding triangle on both sides, but densely crowded with countless orcs, well, those orc heavy shield infantry also drove under the city wall at this time, they seemed to be waiting for the response of those orc barbarians who attacked the city.

When the musketeers on both sides put up the row of guns, near the sharp triangular tips on both sides, several stone caves several times larger than the design ports of muskets suddenly appeared, but several light guns poked their heads out of it, and before the sharp-eyed orcs shouted warnings, their muzzles spewed out the flames of death in a flash of fire.

What they shoot is not a red-hot solid cannonball, here, what Lin Feng prepared for those orcs are scattered bullets, all kinds of metallic and strange-shaped scattered shells, they are all slag wastes that have been smelted, and they are not of much value if they are smelted again, and after being ground by Lin Feng with a stone mill, they are simply polished and polished, and they become special scattered shells for light artillery.

In their attack fan, those orc soldiers, even those orc heavy shield infantry with heavy shields, they died miserably, so to speak, there are almost no corpses left!
