Chapter 642: Orc Attack (21)
c_t; The transmission of the news did not give Lin Jun much sense of security, he did not have much confidence in the kind of confidence that the Blood Fortress could be retained, and he did not have any confidence in the Blood Fortress at all, unless a strong army was thinking about the Blood Fortress coming. [See the latest chapter of the book]. For more up-to-date chapters, visit:. Please search for the most complete! The fastest update, but Lin Jun said that he was not so optimistic. This probability is estimated to be a fight compared to the probability of picking up a dragon egg on the side of the road!
He was thinking about whether he would let Xiaomeng and them start to prepare to leave the Blood 'Color' Fortress, this place was too dangerous, and he didn't need to worry if he wanted to run. But for Xiaomeng Lin Jun, he is really too relieved, this is his most cherished treasure, and he really doesn't want to let her get into danger.
"The city defense weapons have begun to attack!" a herald said to Lin Jun.
Lin Jun knew that in fact, now was not the best time to use them, but if they were not used, then they would not have a chance to use them when they wanted.
In fact, the most suitable time to use it should be when the high-level orcs within the city walls come out, and even high-level orcs are difficult to resist a few or dozens of attacks from these city defense weapons.
At that time, it was possible to expand the advantage of the battle situation, and if it is used in advance now, this advantage will be 'gone'.
There is nothing wrong with the soldiers in the Blood Fortress being 'elite', but they are not invincible. Since the orcs are so sure that they want to take the bloody fortress, there must be other orcs outside the city walls rushing here!
Moreover, there will be no reinforcements from other places in the Blood Fortress, and it will be too difficult to rely on these soldiers in the Blood Fortress to defend this entire fortress without reinforcements!
Even a person with strong military ability can't complete it, this is no longer a city defense battle, but a street battle!
Street fighting: It is a kind of combat that requires numerical superiority. Unless there is a lot of design in the street fight, then it is possible to win, otherwise it is too difficult!
Egbert in the General's Mansion received a suggestion from Lin Jun, he looked at the parchment in his hand, and at the same time began to think about what Lin Jun said, he actually understood that what Lin Jun said was not wrong at all. But he was very reluctant to give up the Blood 'Color' Fortress like this, after all, this Fortress was too important, if it was discarded so easily, then the enemy that the Empire would face would become even more powerful!
As for the punishment or not, Egbert didn't care. Not to mention that he is a member of the royal family, he is not very afraid of this kind of thing, his status in the royal family is not very low, and the emperor will not punish himself for such a thing, after all, if this is really investigated, it is not his fault at all. It couldn't be his turn, but if he was allowed to run away like this, he was really unwilling to make such a decision when he thought about the consequences, although he knew very well that what Lin Jun said was correct, but when it was really time to make a decision, the struggle between reason and sensuality was too 'fierce'.
There are many times when it is not up to him to decide at all!
If the orcs really occupy this place, then the orcs will be able to rely on the blood-colored fortress and then attack the important places of the competition empire!
At that time, if you want to defend again, it will inevitably cost more manpower and material resources. There will inevitably be more casualties, and it will not just be the soldiers, but more civilians will probably be drawn into the battle. Egbert was reluctant to let so many people die. So he really didn't want to give the order to retreat!
"Pass my order, the front-line troops retreat slowly, and all the city defense weapons begin to be transported to the southern city wall! Speed!" Egbert kept thinking about the situation on the front line from the heralds, and Egbert knew that if the front-line soldiers were not allowed to retreat, then they might be all fought out by the orcs!
Moreover, the appearance of high-level existences of orcs made Egbert also know very well that the orcs must have made a lot of determination this time!
Others don't know about the Blood Book, but he still knows about this kind of thing from some royal classics. Egbert understood that the orc sacrifices couldn't bear it!
After so many years of silence, the combat effectiveness that they burst out at once will inevitably shock the world at once!
If you don't make a hit, it's a blockbuster!
The situation on the front line is very tragic, the blood and flesh of the soldiers and the blood and flesh of the orcs are mixed together, under the attack of the city defense weapon, these blood and flesh are scattered on the battlefield, and the intestines are flying in the air one by one, red, and all of them are red 'color'.
It is not uncommon for the soldiers of the blood-colored fortress to see these scenes, so there is no such phenomenon of recruits vomiting.
The battle on the front line was very tragic, and when this battle started, the soldiers were already four out of ten!
The rest of the soldiers are also pale, and they are obviously overconsumed!
The city defense weapons were also destroyed a lot by the orcs, and Lin Jun saw that the situation was not right, so he asked the soldiers to disassemble and load all the remaining city defense weapons.
He knew very well that if the Blood-colored Fortress still wanted to be defended, then these things could not all be destroyed by the Orcs, and if they were all destroyed by the Orcs, then it would be even less likely that the Terrans would have a chance to defend the Blood-colored Fortress!
He knew very well what these city defense weapons could bring to the soldiers in the Blood 'Blood' fortress, not only to defend against the orcs, but also to bring even higher morale to the soldiers!
"My lord, Lord Egbert ordered the troops on the front line to retreat towards the southern wall!" a herald came to Lin Jun with a thud on the wooden floor.
"Okay, order the soldiers on the front line to retreat slowly! At the same time, let the soldiers pick up torches and burn down the houses, slow down the advance of the orcs! and order the dismantled city defense weapons to use the fastest means of transport to transport them to the southern wall!"
The order to retreat was expected by Lin Jun, as long as the general was not a fool, he should understand that the soldiers on the front line could not all fight to the death on the front line.
This is too great a blow to morale and a shake to the morale of the army!
The soldiers were very resolute in the execution of Lin Jun's orders, and they saw that smoke was rising from the houses on the front line, and at the same time, there were a lot of flammable materials on the streets, and they were not the kind of things that were easy to extinguish and move!
The soldiers retreated while burning.
The three generals also heard the call to retreat, and they knew that it was not time to entangle with these orcs, so they all gave a hard blow to the orcs in front of them and left.
In the face of the attack from many high-level orcs, the three generals did not have the initial calmness and calmness, and they were a little more embarrassed!
