Chapter Eighty-Eight: The Battle of Teletham (Part II)
"Shoot! Don't let them climb the walls. โ
The leader of the archery guards shouted, and the rain of arrows rained down on the orcs who climbed the walls, but there were so many orcs besieging the city that as far as the eye could see, it was all a dense army like a black sea. What's even more terrifying is that the orcs who rushed up the walls didn't use ladders or climbing ropes at all, but directly stepped on the corpses of those dead goblins. It was so fast that the archers could only shoot a few rounds before they had to retreat, leaving the melee swordsman on top.
"For Taylortum. โ
Leo shouted, forming a human wall in an attempt to block the first wave of the orc army. The human soldiers stood their shields on the ground, closely arranged, and spears protruding from the gaps in the shield walls, condescending to meet the onslaught of the first wave of orc warriors.
"Roar. โ
The first wave of orc warriors who rushed to the city were already furious, directly ignoring the shield wall, bloodily rushing up, brandishing axes and starting hand-to-hand combat, but soon, the first row of orc warriors tasted the taste of brainless charge, human spears stabbed out intensively, stabbing dozens of orc warriors on the battle line to death in an instant, the iron spearhead pierced the body of the orc warriors, and bright red blood spurted out, dyeing the soldiers' heavy shields and spears with a layer of bright red color.
However, there were also a few berserk orc infantry who used battle axes to cut off the spears of the human infantry, and rushed to the shield wall, but after all, this is the last elite force of the human kingdom, and it is not so easy to be defeated, the berserk orc infantry slashed the heavy shield, trying to split a gap, but these heavy shields are all cast with the hardest Mithril, and the people who can pick it up are the strongest infantry in Telletum, and the orc warriors cannot break through the defense line, but the human short sword and dagger pierce out from the gap in the shield wall, and for a while, all the orc warriors who rushed to the shield wall also fell in a pool of blood, and thick blood splashed on the human steel helmet and heavy shieldใ
Such a stalemate lasted only a few seconds, and the orc troops realized that the tactics were wrong, and soon, the orc warriors in the front row stopped attacking, and behind, more than a dozen tall figures gradually appeared in the rain curtain.
"Behemoth! โ
The crowd began to stir, and the Tyletham shield wall was barely able to deal with the orcs, and if the one-eyed beast in front of him rushed again, the line of defense would collapse.
"Withdraw. โ
The Knight Commander roared, torrential rain washed over the walls, the blood of goblins and orc warriors was washed over and over again, and the human defenses began to retreat. The orcs, on the other hand, quickly made way for the cyclops to charge.
"Quick, get out!"
The speed at which the human soldiers retreated could not keep up with the speed of the giant beasts, and soon, these six or seven meters tall giant beasts rushed to the edge of the outer city. Here, a staircase of goblin corpses keeps the cyclops in their path.
"Roar. โ
With a roar of the behemoth, hundreds of elite Taylum infantry on the city walls have been slaughtered, and in order to conquer the city, Bloodroar has taken out the last trump card, these one-eyed beasts are the last remaining of the Iron Tribe.
Roar, sweep, slam.
The human soldiers on the city wall were immediately knocked away by the huge force of the beast, and all the soldiers in the outer city ran down the city tower and retreated to the inner city to defend. The elven archers were there waiting for the infantry to retreat and climb the second layer of walls.
"**Enter the city. โ
The one-eyed beasts slaughtered furiously at the city's head, indulging in a bloodthirsty feast, but the orc infantry officers soon roared and directed the beasts to attack the inner city, where the large numbers of human infantry had begun to enter the streets and retreat towards the inner city.
From the air, groups of orcs were climbing over the wall, while human soldiers in white armor were running desperately towards the second wall. The streets, the city are full of blazing flames. Even under the heavy rain, it will not be extinguished.
Hippogriffs and gargoyles fought in the air, and the elven archers sat on top of the Hippogriffs and shot at the ground, but their shots were only sporadic and could only take down a few hapless orcs. Most of the orc infantry still poured into the city like a black wave.
Soon, the orc army poured into the outer city, and the streets were littered with orc squads, some carrying ladders, some carrying battery-launching batteries, and others pushing heavy crash carts.
"Defend Tellertum. โ
Arthur shouted, and the next moment, the archers of the Northern Alliance launched the first wave of arrows at the enemy, these warbands of elves and rangers were much stronger than human archers, many of whom had mastered archery skills over the past hundred years. Arrows continued to hit the necks and wrists of orc warriors, and the parts that were naked* and not protected by armor became targets for elves and rangers.
"Smash that tower down. โ
A group of orcs, carrying a small catapult, stopped at the entrance of the street and aimed at a tower on the second human wall, where a dozen elven archers were shooting, inflicting heavy damage on the orc troops, and the leader of the orc team tried to smash the tower down with this siege weapon.
The atmosphere of the battle was still tense, some of the human infantry who had not had time to withdraw to the inner city could only continue to fight with the orc infantry under the city, and the companions on the city wall tried to pull them up through ropes, but they were quickly cut off by the orc warriors with axes, and the remaining human infantry were besieged by the orc warriors under the city, chopped into flesh and mud alive, and the splattered blood stained the orc warriors into bloody men, and some of the orc infantry stuck out their tongues and licked the blood stains on their faces, but roared more excitedly and fought.
"Beast!"
Leo roared and stabbed his sword into the orc warrior who had just climbed the wall, and pushed the already wounded orc warrior off the wall, the orc warrior rolled down, knocking the other orcs who were still climbing to the ground, and there was a muffled sound of body hitting the ground on the ground.
"Launch!"
In the streets, two or three stone crossbows fired at a tower on the walls of Teletham at the same time, and small stone balls continued to hit the outer surface of the tower, and the powder rose so that the elven archers had to withdraw from the tower. The next moment, the white tower, which was more than ten meters high, collapsed in an instant. Huge dust was raised, and many orc warriors were already there waiting for the breach to appear and rush straight in.
If the capture of the outer city is the unified command of Bloodroar, then entering the street and attacking the second city wall is an irregular attack by the orcs, without unified command, all by number, savage combat. Groups of three or five were distributed in every corner of the outer city, while the Alliance soldiers fired all kinds of shots on the inner city walls, and the melee warriors blocked the orcs climbing up at the head of the city.
