Chapter 17: The Long Day (4)
The human soldier standing on the city wall stabbed downward several times in a row, but was separated by the orc with the axe in his hand, the human soldier saw that he could not stop the orc from climbing up, he leaned out of the city wall, held the spear with both hands, and stabbed it hard at the orc.
"Ahh "Bang" fell to the ground, and when the orcs standing below saw a human soldier falling, they immediately swarmed around and slashed down with all kinds of weapons in their hands, shouting while chopping: "I killed it, I killed it!"
An orc soldier let out a cheer, he was smarter, he didn't kill the human soldier at the first time, but immediately snatched the spear in his hand, this orc soldier saw the other orcs looking at him with the eyes of fat food, and immediately shouted: "Climb, rush, there are more humans up there!"
The orc succeeded in diverting his companion's target, and the other orcs quickly agreed, rushing to the bottom of the wooden ladder, climbing desperately upwards with red eyes.
The orc warrior who dragged the human soldiers off the wall was almost on the wall at this moment, and he saw that he had two steps left to climb the wall, and his mouth roared wildly, and he saw a fine war horse neighing at him.
The orc's screams abruptly stopped, and a boulder falling from the sky smashed him down the wooden ladder, which was thrown by the human warriors who followed. The orc's head was smashed to a bloody pulp and killed him instantly, and as he fell, he also crushed the two orc soldiers who were climbing under him, but more orc warriors climbed up the wooden ladder.
The orc soldier who grabbed the spear also began to climb, although his crawling speed was a little slow, but he had a long weapon in his hand, which could attack the human soldiers on the city wall, although it was much more difficult from bottom to top, but the orc soldiers were victorious, and instead suppressed the human pikemen standing on the city wall.
The pikeman was about to stab again, but he heard a cry from behind him: "Get out of the way!" He immediately drew his spear and dodged sideways, giving way to his position. Behind the spearman, two human soldiers worked together to lift a bowl-thick log on which more than a dozen sharp water chestnuts "grew", a special iron nail that was driven into the log at one end, revealing a sharp blade about the length of an adult man's finger.
"One, two, three!" The two human soldiers standing on the city wall shouted slogans together, and threw the log in their hands along the city wall, and the orc soldier who grabbed the spear subconsciously poked the spear in his hand, and the head of the spear suddenly hit the log, but how could the power of the log download be blocked by the power of one person? The wooden body of the spear was immediately bent, and the log pressed against the orc soldier holding the spear, and the sharp sharp blade was mercilessly inserted into his body, and a sharp blade cut the throat of the orc soldier, and bright red blood immediately spurted out.
"Ahh And the sharp blades on the log would also smash the orc soldiers standing together in a dense group, slicing through their bodies and splattering blood.
The battering rams of the orcs finally moved under the walls of the Thor's fortress, and the twenty-meter orcs shook the hanging giant tree together, hitting the city wall hard, making a dull sound. But the walls of this Thor Fortress are quite thick, and humans have been repairing them for hundreds of years, even if they use large magic or giant catapults, they can't destroy it, not to mention these inferior siege equipment of the orcs?
However, the battering ram had thick planks at the top to cover the boulders and logs dropped from the walls, and the orc soldiers standing below were unharmed.
General Clark thought for a moment, and he gave the order for the archers to support. The archers, who had already rested a little, ran up the city wall with some special bows and arrows. These human archers had just finished replenishing their normal feather arrows, and each of them had a new quiver around their waists, each of which contained ten special feathered arrows.
After the two human soldiers dropped the log in their hands, they moved the wooden ladder on the city wall together, and a human soldier with a spear in his hand stabbed the spear in his hand against the wooden ladder, firmly rooted on it, and the three of them pushed the wooden ladder out with all their strength. When the wooden ladder was pushed, it slowly changed from a posture of standing diagonally on the city wall to an upright position, and then leaned back, and fell to the ground with a bang, breaking into three pieces.
"Well done!" cried a human spear soldier, stabbing the spear out of his hand and piercing the throat of an orc trying to climb the wall, who struggled to take one last bite and grabbed the spear with his own hands. The human soldier swung the spear vigorously, hoping to shake off the orc's corpse, but no matter how hard he tried, the spear in his hand was firmly grasped by the orc and could not move.
"Be careful!" one of his colleagues, the sword and shield soldier with whom he was fighting, shouted to him, but it was too late, and one of the orc soldiers who climbed up threw the axe in his hand with great force, slashing the human spear soldier's head, and the spear soldier swerved a few times, then fell headfirst off the wall, and fell.
The orc who succeeded in the sneak attack pushed away the orc corpse that was blocking him, and climbed up quickly, his upper body had exceeded the city wall, seeing that as long as he took another step up, he could step on the city wall, the human sword and shield soldier who had lost his companion roared, picked up the shield in his hand with force, and slapped the orc's exposed head down, and with a pop, the orc's head was blurred, and the shield covered with iron was actually under this slam, and there were several obvious cracks.
But this human soldier only cared about attacking, but did not care about his own protection, after he violently pulled out the shield, his chest naturally showed a flaw, and a spear took advantage of the weakness to stab the sword and shield warrior in the left chest. The human sword and shield warrior endured the pain, one foot stepped on the battlement of the city wall, he knew the extent of his injury, after being stabbed to the vital point, it was impossible to live, but he also had to avenge his companions, so the human soldier jumped up and pressed down towards the orc warrior who was still on the wooden ladder that attacked him, and used his own weight to press down several orc warriors who were about to climb up, and when he fell, he did not forget to swing his long sword, and stabbed violently into the chest of the orc who attacked him。
An archer stepped forward to fill the gap in the defensive line, he drew a feathered arrow, calmly rested on the bowstring, then pulled the bowstring, and locked on to his target for a split second, and immediately released his right hand that was pulling the bowstring.
"Whoosh!" a feathered arrow shot out and inserted into an orc holding a wooden ladder at the base of the city wall, and the first half of the feathered arrow completely ** the orc's head, leaving only a short white tail feather.
The archer did not hesitate, and successively pulled out the feather arrows in the quiver behind his back, and shot them one after another, nailing several orcs who tried to continue to climb with the wooden ladder to the ground, one orc was lucky, he was only hit by an arrow in the thigh, this orc endured the pain, and forcefully broke the part of the feather arrow that was exposed, stepped on the wooden ladder, and climbed up without fear.
"Let me come!" a deep cry came from behind the human archer, who knew it was his own reinforcements without looking back, and he immediately turned sideways to avoid it, only to see a burly warrior armed with a sharp axe come to the wall and take over the section of defense that the fallen soldier was responsible for.
The human archer did not stop at all, as soon as he stepped back, he immediately pulled out a special feather arrow from his waist quiver, the arrow part of this feather arrow was wrapped in a thick cloth, the archer put the arrow on the bowstring, gently pulled it away, and then motioned to the warrior next to him to light the fire.
A warrior with a torch handed it under a special arrowhead and lit the thick layer of linen. The linen was soaked in grease, then air-dried, and when it came into contact with a fire, it immediately began to burn violently. Several other shooters followed suit and drew special feathered arrows to ignite.
The archer, who had been the first to ignite, shouted to alert the warrior with the great axe, and then, after he had slashed an orc trying to climb the wall, he immediately walked to the edge of the wall, drew his bowstring, and shot the flaming feathered arrow in his hand.
The feathered arrow was shot accurately in the center of the wooden ladder, deep into the wood. An orc took off his tattered shirt, bit the bronze dagger in his mouth, and crawled up with his hands and feet, and crawled to the spot where the feathered arrow had been shot in a few steps, and struck hard with his clothes to extinguish the fire.
Before the orc could raise his head and continue to climb, a feathered arrow flew down with a whistling eye, hitting his right arm, and the orc didn't snort, but broke the feather arrow and continued to climb up. Seeing this, the human archer on the city wall shot another feathered arrow, and the orc grabbed the wooden ladder with his right arm, and then kicked his whole body with both feet, and his whole body hung in the air.
The feather arrow didn't hit him, but it hit another orc soldier who was following him, and the orc soldier was also unlucky, he was actually shot in the eye by this feather arrow, and not only that, but the feather arrow also pierced the head on the spot, killing the orc soldier instantly.
