Chapter 27: Attack and Defense (2)
20 Thunderbeasts came out of the orc camp, each Thunderbeast had a huge war drum on its back, and two orcs stood on either side of the war drum, and the four orcs waved their eight drumsticks together, beating the war drum with all their strength, making a huge and rich sound.
Ryan carefully observed this thunder beast, each thunder beast was very huge, Ryan had never seen such a huge beast before, he really couldn't find any beast with the appearance of comparable to him, the only thought in his heart was that it was like a moving mountain.
Most of the Thundermon's appearance is grass green, and its whole body is covered with various patterns, and it looks very docile, I don't know if it is born like this, or if it has been completely domesticated by the orcs. On their backs were large wooden platforms surrounded by a half-human-high fence, with a war drum in the center of it, flanked by four orcs.
Accompanied by the beating of the orcs, the war drums made a sound all over the sky, this kind of thick sound can not only be used to command the orc army, but also spread far away to the Thor Fortress, through that shocking, oppressive shock, disintegrate the will of human soldiers to fight, and greatly hit the morale of human beings.
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
Soon, the sound of the 20 war drums rhythmically fused together, 80 drummers, 160 drumsticks, fell together with the brush, and then waved together, every impact, every vibration, it seemed that it was no longer on the war drums, but in the hearts of the human soldiers, the low but loud war drums have begun to slowly induce the hearts of the human soldiers, so that it unconsciously beats with the drums.
In this dreary and depressing situation, many human soldiers standing on Thor's fortress had pale faces, and some even had their bodies shaky, dropped their weapons in their hands, and clutched their chests tightly, as if they would no longer be able to breathe in the next moment.
Ryan was shocked, if he continued like this, he was afraid that he would not have to wait for the orcs to attack, and the defending human soldiers would collapse first, he looked around anxiously, only to see that even Colin's face was pale, not to mention the others. Ryan didn't know what to do, if he shouted loudly, I'm afraid it would not help, how can the strength of one man compete with the sound of war drums in the sky? Ryan walked towards Colin, trying to help him, but he stepped on something and almost fell. Ryan looked down and saw that it was the wooden shield that had fallen to the ground from a sword and shield warrior beside him.
Ryan's heart moved, this wooden shield was wrapped in a thick layer of iron on the outside, didn't it happen to be a small drum? So Ryan hurriedly bent down to pick up this shield, and snatched the long sword from the soldier's hand, and turned it upside down, holding the sword handle and striking it the shield.
The sword handle collided with the shield, making a "bang!" sound, Ryan was overjoyed, and continued to knock hard, he knocked a few times, and then heard another knock sound from beside him. Ryan turned his head and saw that it was Allendo. Ryan smiled at the latter and continued to knock.
Led by Ryan, many soldiers around Ryan also fiercely took the weapons in their hands and knocked them on the shield. The sound of this kind of percussion is certainly unpleasant in normal times, but under the erosion of the orc war drums, each "bang! bang" sound can slightly relieve the depression and dullness caused by the sound of the orc war drums, so more warriors join the ranks of the percussion.
Soon, on the walls of the Thor Fortress, this knocking sound rang out. Ryan was tapping, while seeing a lot of human soldiers without shields standing awkwardly, wanting to help but not exerting strength, he kept his hands, thought about it slightly, and came up with a way, every time he struck, Ryan used all his strength to shout: "Kill!"
"Kill!"
"Kill!!"
"Kill !!"
Led by Ryan, the soldiers on the walls of the Thor Fortress neatly tapped the shields in their hands, and shouted at the same time: "Kill!" Those soldiers without shields shouted with all their strength, and many of them also picked up the spears in their hands and put the guns on the ground, which could also make a lot of noise, and those archers simply raised their longbows in their hands and shouted at the sky.
"Kill!"
"Kill!!"
"Kill !!"
The sound of more than 40,000 human warriors together with all their strength turned the situation around in an instant, and the sound of tens of thousands of people was like a sharp sword, shooting straight into people's hearts, this is the most powerful voice on the continent, this is the cry of human warriors united. The sound of the orcs' war drums could no longer silence the human warriors, and they were soon drowned out by the thunderous shouts.
"Toot ~~~"
Seeing that they had lost the first battle, the orcs stopped beating the war drums and made this sound that came out of the trumpet. With a majestic sound, about 1,000 orcs riding wolf warriors rushed out of the orc camp, galloped around the open space outside, and then drove back to the front of the orc army formation, forming a small phalanx.
Immediately after coming out of the orc camp was a huge flag. The flagpole used for the flag was very thick and long, and Ryan estimated that it was definitely a fight with his own waist, and there was only one orc holding this flag. Originally, if I wanted to lift and move such a thick flagpole, it would take a dozen human warriors to do it, and several of the strongest people held the flagpole together, while the other human warriors stood around the flagpole, and each of them forcefully straightened a rope tied to the top of the flagpole, and in this way fixed the flagpole, and then slowly moved forward, and this strong orc actually did it alone. This orc has no hair on his head, and his upper body is **, revealing muscles that are about to explode, such a thick flagpole, he raised his two hands, and it seems that he has spare strength.
At this moment, the human soldiers had stopped shouting, and Ryan saw that this orc was so strong, and he was worried that his morale would be hit, so he deliberately said loudly: "Haha, the orcs are really well-limbed and simple-minded, I don't know how many arrows can be taken by so much meat?" The human soldiers who heard this laughed together, and the fear they felt after seeing such a strong orc also came to naught.
Of course, it was impossible for the orcs to hear Lane's words, and the strong orc walked to the front of the orc wolf cavalry, held the battle flag high with both hands, and then poked down fiercely, and smashed the flagpole of the battle flag into the ground. A gust of wind blew, and the battle flag immediately fluttered, revealing the pattern on the battle flag.
This is a battle flag made of the fur of an unknown monster, and a huge python is painted on the battle flag, and the entire body of the python is entrenched together, only the snake's head has a long mouth, highlighting the forked snake core. The whole pattern is very simple, but the whole python is vividly drawn, and it also brings out a simple taste.
The orc man holding the flagpole raised his head to the sky and let out a roar, and the powerful sound wave centered on the flagpole spread in all directions, even driving the armor of the 100,000 soldiers on the orc side. The emerald green grass beside the orc manpower that originally radiated vitality all fell outward under the power of this drink, forming a strange circle around the orc manpower.
After the orc warriors shouted angrily, more orc warriors walked out of the beast ** camp and formed a phalanx centered on this battle flag painted with a giant snake pattern. In the center of the phalanx was the orc manpower and the 1,000 wolf cavalry.
The one who held high the banner of the giant serpent was the patriarch of the orc giant snake clan and the famous warrior Ignati Woods among the orcs. Today's orc attack will be launched by the Serpent Clan, and Ignati Woods did not hesitate to raise the clan's battle flag.
According to the orc tradition, the clan's battle flag represents the honor of the clan, and each clan's warrior will protect it with blood and life, and Ignati Woods raised this battle flag painted with a giant serpent, which means that the giant snake clan dispatched the most elite troops. Of course, Ignati Woods will not be stupid enough to go out of the nest, but the Giant Serpent Clan is already known for its bravery and good fighting, and even the older clansmen have combat power that cannot be underestimated, not to mention that Ignati Woods has joined 1,000 patriarch guards among the 30,000 abandoned soldiers.
Ignati Woods's plan is very simple, on the one hand, he used the method of Alexandra, the patriarch of the Black Eagle Clan, to send the old warriors as abandoned pawns, which not only coped with the orders of the Beast Emperor but also reduced all kinds of consumption in the clan, and on the other hand, he dispatched the Giant Serpent Battle Banner and a small number of patriarch personal guards, in order to play the prestige of the Giant Serpent Clan, otherwise the other orcs will inevitably reduce their fear of the Giant Serpent Clan just by seeing those old clansmen, and it will be self-defeating.
By the time the warriors of the Serpent Clan formed a phalanx, a large number of new siege equipment were also transported to the front line. In the last few days of siege warfare, the orcs have used a variety of different siege equipment, and improved according to how well they performed in actual combat. Siege ladders were so cumbersome that they were often destroyed by human catapults before they could be moved under the walls. Although battering rams can successfully move under the walls, they do little to destroy the walls of Thor's fortress.
So the orcs improved these two instruments, eliminating the bulky base of the wooden ladder and replacing it with a normal wooden ladder, which was quickly advanced by several orcs on their shoulders. And the battering ram also directly removed the crashing wood hanging underneath, but used its thick and sturdy armor to withstand the rain of arrows and stone bullets of humans.
In addition to these two things, the Orcs have also improved the Stone-Throwing Vehicle, although the new Stone-Throwing Carts are much smaller than the original and the stone projectiles fired are much lighter, but they are lighter and move faster, allowing them to enter the range more safely and threaten the human defenders on the walls of Thor's Fortress.
In addition to these devices, each of the Serpent Clan's warriors was equipped with a crude wooden shield that was used to shield the fire of human bows and arrows. Ignati Woods, the patriarch of the Giant Serpent Clan, also took out the remaining bronze weapons from the elite of the clan and distributed them to these clansmen who were about to fight.
Now that Ignati Woods had made all the preparations he could, the only thing he had to wait for was the Beast Emperor's order to attack.
