The power of this smash is really amazing, the soldiers standing on the city wall only felt that the ground under their feet shook three times, and on the originally flat wall, there were three cracked dents directly!

Li Qing, who stabilized his body in these three impacts, turned a little pale uncontrollably, looking at the four huge monsters, he had originally made up all kinds of attack methods, but he never thought that the destructive power of these four monsters would be so terrifying!

The attack of throwing boulders like this did not stop, and the elephant man, who had been caught on fire by the four eight-bull crossbows, was obviously more than a little slower in terms of efficiency, and when the other three elephants were ready to attack again, it finally fended off the attack of the eight-ox crossbow and swung its first stick.

In the face of the monster's boulder attack, the entire city wall was trembling, in the past, they had always relied on the range of the eight-ox crossbow to bombard others indiscriminately, how could they have been bombarded indiscriminately by others? These four elephant men really set a precedent for them, and for a while, the morale that had been leveling down became a little turbulent.

Sensing the change in the atmosphere, although it did not collapse, in order to ensure that nothing went wrong, Li Qing, who was also shocked by the four elephant men, hurriedly made up a shot to boost morale, and then shouted loudly.

"Counterattack, archers have it, release the arrows!"

Under Li Qing's command, a rain of arrows like locusts rushed straight down on the elephant men.

"Hum—"

The elephant people screamed in pain, and the power of the bow and arrow was far less than that of the eight-ox crossbow, but as the saying goes: ants bite elephants to death.

Even humans, facing thousands of mosquitoes at once, still have to be frightened.

Several elephants began to throw their huge trunks away, trying to sweep away their bows and arrows, invisibly slowing down the entire pace of the attack, and gaining a chance for the defenders of the copper city to breathe.

Originally, Duoduo wanted to rely on the destructive power of these four-headed elephant men to directly attack and forcibly smash the opposite city wall, and then let the large army push it up and capture the city in one go, but he didn't expect that this Xia Qi still had some ability.

Duoduo, who saw this scene in the rear, pondered in his heart for a while, and then ordered with a wave of his hand: "Let the elephant man who was set on fire retreat, and the large army will start to advance, and help the elephant man share a wave of firepower!" ”

It didn't work according to the original plan, the elephant race was very scarce in number, and the reproduction was slow. Humans are pregnant in October, and when the elephant people give birth to offspring, they have to be pregnant for two years just to get pregnant, and only give birth to one at a time, and after giving birth, they can't conceive a second child for four or five years, in other words, these four elephant people are precious and rare soldiers for Duoduo, if one is planted, it will definitely be so painful that it can't breathe.

With the sound of the horn of mobilizing troops, a group of figures with two horns and big shoulders and round waists began to push the siege vehicle and rushed towards the gate of the copper city opposite.

True Minotaur!

Of course, Li Qing recognized the cattle as livestock, and in today's Great Xia, many farmers use cattle to plow the land, however, when these farming cattle in his impression suddenly put on simple leather armor, took a long-handled battle axe, and rushed towards them, it is estimated that they will be stunned for a moment.

didn't have time to think about it, at the moment when his eyes swept over the battlefield, Li Qing quickly made a judgment, looking at the rough skin and thick flesh of those Minotaur infantry, these targets were obviously within the scope of the archers' business.

It just so happened that the elephant man who had been set on fire by the four eight-bull crossbows retreated, and Li Qing directly signaled the four eight-ox crossbows to turn the fire to the next elephant man, and at the same time dispatched a part of the archers and asked them to suppress the enemy's advancing large army with a rain of arrows.

At this time, Li Qing, who was commanding this battle on the city wall, was really in a complicated mood, although under Xia Qi's education, he had already established the concept of restraint in the troops, but the slingers he was most familiar with were directly deflated at the beginning of this battle, and he inevitably felt a little bad in his heart.

On the city wall, Li Qing divided the archers into three batches, and each batch took turns to release arrows, in order to keep them physical strength and condition, so as to achieve the inherent routine of fighting for a long time.

However, even so, the situation is not optimistic.

The minotaurs were frighteningly thick-skinned, and one of them, with five or six arrows stuck in his body, was still rushing forward one by one.

Fortunately, there are not many minotaur infantry like this, only about 300, otherwise this siege battle would be bottomless.

Of course, these three hundred minotaur infantry were just the vanguard of the enemy's army, and there were a large number of other troops in the rear, but without exception, these enemies were all strange-shaped monsters in Li Qing's eyes.

At this time, Xia Qiruo was standing here, according to his knowledge of playing various war strategy games, he could definitely recognize the orc class opposite at a glance, and the one following the minotaur should be the kobold.

Compared with the burly minotaur, the kobold is obviously much shorter, and he basically doesn't wear any armor on his body, and he holds a spear in his hand, obviously, Na Duoduo doesn't seem to care much about the life or death of the kobold, and considering the number of troops that far exceed the number of minotaurs, the answer is about to come out, that is, there are a lot of kobolds, and this class is not worth much in Duoduo's eyes.

In comparison, the dozens of lion-headed people guarding around Duoduo clearly revealed an aura of "pro-son". They held a shield in one hand, a sword in the other, and wore shawl equipment, which can be said to be well-equipped compared to other racial troops, and the difference between them is also immediately reflected.

On the walls of the copper city, Li Qing frowned deeply, although the slinger troops and the archer troops took turns to attack to slow down the opponent's advance, but it did not achieve a clear suppression effect, in other words, the opponent's siege troops pushed under the city wall is only a matter of time, according to this momentum, the copper city can not be defended, he must make a new arrangement, or find a new breakthrough!

With the thoughts in his mind racing, Li Qing made up his mind and directly called his lieutenant.

"Qin Yi, go and help me do something."

After listening to Li Qing's explanation, Qin Yi's expression changed, and then he quickly retreated with a heavy face, and about ten minutes later, the archer troops on the walls of the copper city suddenly began to fire with all their might, and round after round of arrows rained down on the elephant men and infantry units outside the city.

"Is this starting to panic on the other side?" After all, his orc army was about to be pushed outside the city gates, and in Dórd's opinion, it was only natural that the other side would panic.

However, with the rise of this thought, on the wall of the copper city opposite, there was a new movement, and the moment he saw the orc army pushing under his city, Li Qing waved his hand, "Let me go!" ”

Hearing the order, the soldiers immediately pushed down the wooden barrels that had been placed on the wall one by one......

"Bang! Bang! Bang......"

Many of the Minotaur infantry who rushed in front were dizzy from these vats falling from the sky, and after the vats shattered, a large amount of transparent liquid suddenly sputtered out.

Several Minotaur infantry were splashed on the spot, and then without waiting for their reactions, Li Qing, who was on the city wall, had already spoken coldly.

"Ignition!"

The raging fire spread outside the copper city in an instant, and there was no doubt that the large wooden barrels that had been smashed down from the wall before were all filled with high-concentration fire oil!

The terrifying high temperature flames instantly engulfed the group of orc soldiers who were closest to the city wall of the copper city at that time, listening to the screams that kept coming from his ears, Li Qing's face did not show any pity, and even let the soldiers on the city wall throw a few rounds of rolling logs, while attacking the orc soldiers under the city, the rolling logs that were thrown down can also become the best combustible, making the fire burn more vigorously!

Looking at the sky-high fire in the distance, Duoduo, who had always behaved unusually calmly, was really furious at this moment, and jumped to his feet and shouted loudly: "Retreat!" Tell them to get out of here! ”

Although the number of minotaurs is not as rare as that of elephant men, it is definitely not a small number. One by one, they can fight and resist, and in his orc army, they are all elite-level existences, if they are damaged too much at once, in a short period of time, even if it is the ruler of the orc civilization, there is nowhere to replenish.

Duoduo, who was really painful in his heart, decisively ordered the werewolf guards beside him to blow the horn of retreat, and in the face of the retreating orc army, Li Qing certainly wouldn't mind letting the archers under his command chase the opposite side for a few more rounds to expand the damage and results.

However, the other party was obviously not willing to retreat directly, after withdrawing from the attack range, a whole army of orcs quickly regrouped, and directly gathered on the high ground, and Li Qing on the copper city faced each other in the air, looking at Duoduo's posture, obviously as soon as the fire was extinguished, he planned to attack the city again.

But the fire that burns with oil is so easy to extinguish? Not to mention that at such a critical moment, Li Qing would not let the fire go out.

After a period of stalemate to no avail, Duoduo knew that there was no point in waiting any longer, so he immediately pouted a little unpleasantly, and then viciously gave the order to withdraw his troops.

"Retreat for now! Find a place to camp and rest! ”

Looking at the temporarily withdrawn orc army, the soldiers defending the city in Tongcheng cheered one after another, celebrating their victory again, but as the protagonist of this siege battle, Li Qing was not optimistic in his heart, because he knew very well that this fire was just an expedient measure, how much fire could there be? Counting all the inventory in the copper city, at most one more time, after one game, if you can't wait for reinforcements, in the face of such a monster army, there is a chance that the copper city will not be able to hold it.

And such a high-temperature fire, if it burns for a long time, will also bring damage to the walls of the copper city, making the city walls fragile, it can be said to be a double-edged sword, whether it can buy enough time, it depends on whether the other double-edged sword he swings out can play its due role.

Walking down the city wall, Li Qing quickly called several lieutenant generals, as well as the city lord of Tongcheng, rushed to the barracks to discuss.

It is very interesting that among the several cities developed by Xia Qi himself, there is no position of city lord for the time being, and the generals who defend the city are the military and political leaders. But on the former Dayan's side, there was the position of city lord.
