Chapter 117: The Battle of the Royal Auditorium (6)
Not far away, the orcs hid their bodies behind cover as much as possible, dodging the fire of the human ballista.
The orcs used this tried and tested method to break through several human defense lines, and they were about to attack the position where Jonas was, but suddenly a dense black shadow appeared in the sky like a dark cloud, and the orc lying on the ground looked up in horror, but saw countless black dots flying down towards his position.
"What is this?" many beasts screamed, and the question was answered after a few seconds, and the black dots smashed the orcs who were crawling behind the cover, instantly smashing their heads and bleeding, and these orcs immediately found out that it was a small broken stone.
Although the weight of each of these small stones is not large, but if you throw it on the body of the person will still be very painful, if you hit the vital point will also be hit hard, now use the stone throwing cart to throw them into the air and then fall, once hit the orc warriors, they can definitely be injured, the light head is broken and the blood flows, the heavy ones are broken bones and tendons, so that the orcs cry bitterly.
The strength and accuracy of these small stones thrown by human catapults are surprisingly poor, and they are far inferior to large rocks in range, and they can fly two or three hundred meters at most, but they are superior in number, a catapult can launch fifteen to twenty at a time, and dozens of catapults can be launched together, forming an extremely spectacular scenery, resulting in an effect similar to a covering attack.
This kind of scattering is indeed difficult to pose a lethal threat to strong orcs, but its real purpose is not here, but to use dense attacks to suppress the actions of orcs, even if the orcs hide behind cover, this kind of thrown stones can hit them, once the orcs dare to show their bodies, human ballistae will penetrate their bodies without mercy and take their lives, and the orcs can only be beaten passively forever when they cower behind the cover.
The Orcs' advance was halted by the Legion of Jonas, who used this precious time to consolidate his line and hold out until reinforcements arrived in Orlando. When the orc front-line commander saw tens of thousands of human elite warriors appear in front of him, he heard the wailing of an orc, and gave the order to stop the attack.
The orcs who were smashed on the front line with blue noses and swollen faces showed relieved expressions after hearing the order to retreat, and quickly retreated, lest the humans take advantage of the victory to pursue. Of course, Jonas had more than enough troops to defend at the moment, and the attack was insufficient, so he didn't dare to attack easily, but he couldn't sit back and watch the orcs retreat like this, so he ordered the catapult to attack with large stone projectiles instead, and now the orcs retreated faster.
When the orcs withdrew from the attack position, the human defenders on the Jonas defense line all cheered, the defense of the imperial capital has reached this point, and there are only a handful of human armies that can repel the attack of the orcs, and the Jonas army can do this is not only a good result, but also washed away the shame on their heads, I believe that from this time on, no one will dare to despise Jonas and his warriors.
The humans won the battle in the frontal blockade, but the offensive to outflank the back of the orcs was broken up by the orcs, which was also expected by Orlando, because whenever the orcs captured the human position and completely controlled it, they would lay heavy troops and build a solid defense line, and the orcs advanced this step-by-step combat idea greatly protected their flanks and rear roads from being cut off by humans, and they could also send soldiers and supplies to the front line through this open road.
Seeing that the two sides were winning and losing each other, Orlando shook his head gently, and now the battle situation is deadlocked, which is not easy for Orlando General, who is good at attacking, but this is also a helpless thing, because humans are on the defensive, they can only defend step by step, passively waiting for the orcs to attack, while the orcs can put their elites into it at any time and anywhere, as long as they can achieve concealment and suddenness, it will pose a considerable threat to the human defense line.
At the same time, in the command post of the orc alliance, the beast emperor Andreas sat on a throne dressed in white bear skin, and said lightly: "Why did you stop the attack?"
In front of the Beast Emperor were the leaders of the three clans of the Orc Stag, the Gray Wolf, and the Bobcat, these three people were the front-line commanders of the attack just now, and it was they who had to give the order to retreat under Jonas's whimsical scatterbomb attack. Originally, when these three leaders were in their own clan, they all responded to each other, and they had the power to kill the clansmen, which could be said to be a high power, but at this moment, when they stood in front of the Beast Emperor, listening to the Beast Emperor's bland words, they all had a frightened look on their faces.
The three clan leaders glanced at each other a few times, and the leader of the Stag clan took half a step forward and cautiously explained to the Beast Emperor: "That's the case, Your Majesty the Beast Emperor, we were about to break through the defense line of those humans, but who knew that they, this group of damned humans actually put in a new weapon, which was too damaging to our warriors......"
"Hmph!" the Beast Emperor Andreas snorted lightly, which immediately interrupted the defense of the leader of the Buck Clan, and also made the three leaders close their mouths tightly, not daring to make any sound, lest they anger the Beast Emperor. The Beast Emperor Andreas glanced at the three people in front of him with a clear gaze, and the three leaders suddenly felt a cold cold air slowly seeping into their bone marrow, as if they were in the cold ice that would not melt for thousands of years, and they couldn't help but shiver.
The orc's voice was still so unhurried, as if he was narrating an ordinary trivial matter: "Before the battle, I had already emphasized the military order, and all clans must do the order and forbidden, but those who retreat from the battle will die!"
The Beast Emperor said the word "death", and the three clan leaders suddenly turned pale, and they also knew that although their actions today were to preserve a little strength of their clan, they were definitely disobeying the military order, and now that the Beast Emperor said this, it seemed that he was not ready to let them go.
A cold light burst out in the eyes of the gray wolf clan, he knew that the Beast Emperor ruled the army with an iron fist, and begging for it was useless, but he was not willing to die, so he shouted loudly: "Why can't we leave some seeds! Our population is not as good as your brute bear, and our combat strength is inferior to the elite of your men, but why do you let us rush to the forefront every time, why can't you Beast Emperor go up? Aren't you known as the number one master of orcs?"
As soon as the leader of the gray wolf clan spoke, the other two people's faces suddenly changed greatly, and they looked at him again and again, but the leader of the gray wolf clan couldn't see it, and as soon as he said it in a state of agitation, there was no turning place between him and the beast emperor, and now he was softened and retreated to death, so he could only hold on hard, so he stared at the beast emperor with his eyes.
"Oh, so, you have an opinion on my command?" A smile appeared on the corner of the Beast Emperor's mouth, his eyes looked directly at the leader of the Gray Wolf Clan, and the leader of the Gray Wolf Clan was not a fool, of course he would not admit it, his tone changed, and the anger just now disappeared, and he said in a calm tone: "I don't have an opinion on you, with the strength of your Beast Emperor, become the ruler of our orcs, I am convinced." But as you said, this is the command center of the human race, and I think the most elite troops of the human race are naturally deployed here, and the armies of our clans are probably not opponents. ”
The Beast Emperor smiled slightly in his heart, thinking that the leader of the gray wolf clan was not stupid, so he asked, "What do you mean?"
Seeing that the Beast Emperor's tone turned, the Gray Wolf Clan hurriedly said his thoughts: "Is it not Your Majesty the Beast Emperor that you have sent your most elite troops, if this is the case, a few of us would rather obey the command of your generals." I believe that only the elite of the Brute Bear Clan will not be able to stop the human race, even in a strong defensive line. ”
"Yes, yes!" The Buck Clan and the Lynx Clan hurriedly echoed, "Please also ask His Majesty the Beast Emperor to give us some support, if there is an elite of the Brute Bear Clan, are you still afraid that you won't be able to defeat here?"
The Beast Emperor turned his head to look at the prophet Evan sitting beside him, the latter stared deeply into the eyes of the Beast Emperor, and immediately knew the Beast Emperor's intentions, the Prophet Evan had the intention to stop it, but in front of outsiders, he generally did not speak, especially against the Beast Emperor's decision, so as not to damage the authority of the Beast Emperor, so he could only nod slightly.
The Beast Emperor turned his head and said to the leaders of the three clans, including the gray wolf, "Now I will give you two hours to rest and replenish, and when the time comes, you will continue to attack, and if you dare to evacuate without permission, then military law will be carried out, and there will be no forgiveness." ”
As soon as the Beast Emperor spoke, the organs on the faces of the three clan leaders suddenly crowded together, as ugly as they were, but the Beast Emperor continued: "I will personally lead a legion to supervise the battle behind you, if you still can't take this small viewing platform, I will personally take action, and this first step is to take the lives of the three of you." ”
The three clan leaders were cold, knowing that they had no other way out, so they gritted their teeth and agreed.
After watching the three of them withdraw from the command post, the prophet Evan suddenly spoke: "Beast Emperor, is this necessary? You are not only a brave warrior now, but also the commander of a huge army, the ruler of the entire orc, you must learn to use your own wisdom, and do not rely on force to solve problems." ”
