Chapter 61: Chaos (3)
"Quick. Quick, full speed ahead!" General Clark rushed towards the city wall with a few thousand disheveled soldiers, a kilometer away they didn't know how many times they had run in the past, but today they never felt that it was a long time, many of the soldiers were not wearing armor, they were only holding a weapon.
When General Kissern's corpse appeared in front of everyone's eyes, everyone was shocked, and Ryan's first reaction was that Hans had a problem, Clark immediately made a decision and personally led the temporarily organized thousands of soldiers to rush to the city wall, and Ryan rushed to mobilize reserve troops to support under General Clark's orders.
On the walls of Thor's fortress, the bonfire that was originally used for lighting has been extinguished at some point, General Clark is anxious, he doesn't know what the situation is on the other side of the city wall now, he can't figure out why Hans wants to assassinate General Kissernst, maybe everything can only be answered after catching Hans, Clark only hopes that it will not be the worst, otherwise
Seeing that it was only more than 200 meters away from the city wall, and the city wall was still quiet, originally in this kind of enemy situation, scouts should have been sent to reconnoiter first, but General Clark couldn't care much at the moment, no matter what was ahead, he had to rush up and control the city wall with all his might.
At this moment, there was a sudden strong vibration on the ground in front of him, and General Clark's heart sank, and he shouted: "Hurry, even if you use your life, you must hold on!" Before the words fell, he heard a roar from the foot of the city wall, and the muffled sound of some kind of huge demonic beast.
"Whew!" The position where the giant catapults were placed suddenly burst into flames, and the ten giant catapults began to burn violently, and the flames soared into the sky, reflecting the situation on General Clark's side clearly.
General Clarke, on the other hand, could barely rely on this light to see what was galloping in front of him, and thirty chariots made of bronze were gradually accelerating towards Clarke, pulled by the huge mammoth war elephant. There was no more than a two-meter gap between the chariots, but the sides of each chariot were covered with sharp blades and strong spikes, which shone blindingly in the flash of fire.
"Quick, form a gun formation!" Clark hurriedly gave the order, although the haste may not have much effect, all the soldiers still tried to stick their bodies together, stretched out the spears in their hands, and aimed at the fast-moving mammoth chariot.
Standing on the mammoth chariot at the front was the thunder of the Wind Destroying Peng clan, he clenched a two-handed giant axe, and looked at the human warriors who hastily formed a gun formation dozens of meters away with pity, a strong human was loudly boosting their morale, judging from the decoration of that person, most of them were a general or commander.
"Full speed ahead! Be sure to form a formation to disperse the enemy army!" Ray gave the last order, at this moment the number of orcs entering the interior of the Thor Fortress is not very large, and the thousands of chariots he led are only more than thirty through the city gate, it is not easy to pass through the canyon outside the Thor Fortress silently, but now that the humans have discovered their whereabouts, there is nothing to hide, and Ray is determined to drag down the army reinforced by the humans and leave enough time for the follow-up troops.
Seeing that the chariot was getting closer and closer to the human phalanx, Lei stood firmly on the chariot with his feet slightly apart, and then clenched his hands tightly to prepare for the impending collision. At a distance of more than 100 meters, although it is not possible to make the mammoth chariot run to the highest speed, it is enough to deal with a phalanx composed of pure infantry.
"Flutter!" The mammoth chariot crashed into the phalanx of human soldiers, and the spears in the hands of the human soldiers stabbed the mammoth war elephants in front of them, at most they cut some scars, and many of them even broke off on the spot, while the huge mammoth war elephants stepped into the dense human phalanx, and broke the bones and tendons of all the human soldiers in the direction of the advance, and then flew out like straw.
The phalanx of human soldiers could not stop the advance of the orc mammoth chariot at all.
Ray only felt the chariot shake, and the speed slowed down a lot, but it was still moving at high speed, he shouted, picked up the tomahawk in his hand and slashed it hard, and with one axe, he cut off a dozen spears that stabbed him. The terrifying sound of the sharp blade cutting through the human body and the screams of human soldiers in pain were heard in the ears, which were the injuries inflicted on the human soldiers by the sharp blades and spikes on the chariot.
"Hold on!" shouted General Clark with all his strength, if his team could not stop the attack of the orc mammoth legions, then beyond that there would be a wider plain, although there were camps, but most of them were fences made of tents and wood, and it was impossible to have much defensive effect, then it would be dangerous tonight.
Driven by the orcs, the mammoth war elephant did not hesitate to raise its big feet and step on the head of the human soldiers, its huge weight coupled with the speed of more than 100 meters of fast running, is not at all thousands of human warriors can be stopped, the screams came one after another, after the mammoth war elephant stepped on, the huge wheels rolled over again, almost no living mouth, and the vast majority of those who fell to the ground and screamed were injured by those sharp blades and spikes after the chariot passed, of course, many were cut by the orcs standing high on the chariot with axesใ
General Clark saw his soldiers being slaughtered with his own eyes, his eyes were red, he grabbed a spear, aimed at Ray and stabbed it, with General Clark's eyes, he naturally saw the leader of the army of the Orcs of Thunder, and Ray also saw General Clark's movements, he originally wanted to kill Clark and completely destroy the morale of the human soldiers, but now the opponent sent it himself, he picked up the big axe in his hand and cut it down hard.
General Clark didn't bother with Ray's tomahawk at all, but just grabbed the spear with all his strength and stabbed it at Ray's throat, while Ray saw Clarke's spear and cut it down mercilessly.
"Huh!" Ray's tomahawk accurately slashed Clark's spear, and the sharp tomahawk directly cut the spear in Clarke's hand into two pieces under the precise control of Lei, and Clark's spear had pierced Ray's throat at the moment, but because the spear was broken from the middle, even the pure steel spear head was no exception, and the two pieces of the spear grazed from the left and right of Ray's throat respectively, and did not hurt Ray at all.
Clark was shocked, he didn't expect this orc commander to be so powerful, Ray's full strength of the axe had already slashed in front of him, Clark was in the phalanx, it was impossible to dodge as flexibly as flat ground, he was split in two by Thunder's axe from head to toe, and before the bloody body could separate and fall, it was mercilessly hit and flew up by the mammoth chariot that was still moving fast, and then fell to the ground, and was then crushed by the rolling wheels.
"The general is dead, the general is dead!" The human warriors who saw this scene were completely confused, they saw with their own eyes that their always brave general was actually hacked to death by an orc axe, and their colleagues could not stop the orcs from advancing even with their flesh and blood, where was there any fighting spirit, as a warrior standing in the back row of the phalanx dropped his weapon and turned away, the thousands of soldiers brought by General Clark dropped their weapons one after another and began to rout.
It's a pity that after forming a phalanx, even if you want to break and escape, it is not an easy thing, those human warriors standing in the last few rows can say that they can go directly backwards, but the people in the middle of the phalanx have no way out, they are surrounded by their own companions. Seeing the terrifying beasts and chariots of the orcs coming towards him, the human soldiers, who had lost their minds under the control of fear, even began to kill each other, slashing and slashing the synchronization around them without mercy, just to get a chance to escape.
Ray stood on the chariot, and the commander's men ruthlessly crushed the human soldiers, attacking the infantry phalanx that had lost their fighting spirit, which was not much different from the collective slaughter of the Fengpeng clan, and soon, the human soldiers brought by General Clark were slaughtered, and only a few hundred people fled in a hurry and returned to Camp No. 1.
Ray quickly counted his losses, but more than a dozen orc warriors were killed, dozens were wounded, and the losses were minimal, so he didn't chase after him, and retreated directly with his men, waiting for more mammoth chariots to pass through the gates of Thor's fortress.
"Run, the demon is coming!" the defeated human soldiers lost their minds and rushed into Camp One, roaring and screaming, adding to the already tense situation. If there was another general, maybe the situation could be quickly controlled by killing people, but unfortunately General Gainst was assassinated, General Clark was killed in battle, General Jonas was taken away by Hans with a false order, and even Ryan fell into the predicament of having no troops to adjust.
Hans really had three killer moves tonight, the first was to assassinate Killster and leave the human defenders leaderless, the second was to change the defense of Ryan and let the orcs into the city, and the third and most vicious one was to use false orders to issue multiple contradictory orders, completely disrupting the formation of the human army.
Under Hans's false orders, many middle and low-level officers were not in their camp at all, they were notified to hold certain meetings or receive certain supplies, etc., and left their camp from the evening, and Hans's original identity was the adjutant of the supreme commander of the Thor Fortress, Kissster, and he was in charge of many things, of course, no one would doubt what he said, as long as he made a little arrangement, no one would doubt it.
For example, when receiving materials, when a junior officer took a few cronies to collect and count, the material officer who was qualified to send it was transferred to a meeting, so he could only wait obediently. Some people really can't wait, some sneak away to the bar for a few drinks, and some honestly go back to the camp, but those who sneak out to drink are not really on vacation, and they will be severely punished if they are found out according to military law, who would be stupid enough to tell the truth? This is also because the orc offensive has been easing down recently, and the human garrison will inevitably relax after a few months of tension.
