Chapter 262: Storming the City Gate
The loud roar of the heavy bolts as they landed on the ground stifled the nerves of every orc in the camp.
The harassing assault on the walls continued all night.
If that's all, forget it, but Li Chuansao is constantly operating.
Taking advantage of the darkness of the night, this guy sent a team of foxmen to make a detour and blow the horn from time to time, which annoyed the orcs.
As soon as an orc rushes over, they will sneak into the forest.
In the end, these orcs are going crazy, and it is clear that neither side has started a war yet, but one by one they all look listless.
Staring at the bloodshot one-eyed, Bey summoned Ali and Kgrud to discuss the attack.
In this regard, Ali's offensive strategy is also simple.
It means that you can directly use the three planes that are pushed over to attack the entrance of the human camp on the opposite side.
The towering stone wall was almost impossible to break, but the entrance must have been much more fragile.
Of course, considering some unexpected states, Ali also said that if the Eight Bull Crossbow attack failed, then directly let the Bearren destroy the entrance with brute force.
As long as the entrance is broken, according to the combat power of the human race, it is absolutely impossible to be their opponent.
After confirming the battle policy, Bey, who was obviously a little overwhelmed by the constant harassment, immediately ordered an attack.
Looking at the orc troops that were quickly gathering outside the city, the sentinels who had been observing them on the city wall immediately sounded the alarm.
After hearing the movement, the soldiers who had not removed their armor all this time also began to assemble.
At this time, the orcs on the opposite side had already assembled and began to advance towards the mountain city step by step.
At the forefront of the attacking forces were the three eight-bull crossbows.
Seeing this, Li Chuan didn't panic at all, the eight-bull crossbow is not something that can be operated casually, but requires technology.
Not only Li Chuan, Ali also doesn't have much expectation for the skills of these foxes under his command.
It's better not to think about it like to blow up the eight bull crossbows on the opposite wall, and let them honestly aim at the city gate and fire as soon as they come up.
But even so, the hit rate is still impressive.
One round of fire was fired, but not a single shot hit the city gate, and all of them were crooked to the walls on both sides.
One of the crossbow arrows deviated more than ten meters from the city gate.
Li Chuan visually measured the distance, probably because he was afraid of being hit, and those fox men opened fire at a distance of more than 700 meters from the city wall.
He let out a chuckle in his heart, it seemed that the fox people on the other side still didn't know a little bit about the Eight Bull Crossbow.
The eight-bull crossbow is a thing that the closer the distance, the stronger the attack power, and the more accurate the head.
At such a long distance, not to mention the accuracy, the power alone was greatly reduced, and even if it hit the city gate, its power was not enough to cause much damage to the city gate.
Li Chuan did not rush to let the soldiers under his command counterattack, but signaled the bed crossbowmen to prepare first.
After two more rounds of firing, Ali also realized that the distance was still too far, so he signaled his fox men to load the crossbow arrows first, and then began to move forward.
That way, when they get closer, they'll be able to fire straight away.
As the distance narrowed, the pressure on the foxes continued to rise, and the two thin legs unconsciously swayed.
When the distance was closed again, Ali immediately ordered to shoot.
However, although its little abacus is very loud, it ignores the most important point.
That's how many foxes are so skilled

It's bad, and the hit rate is simply touching.
After one defeat after another, Aliton felt a dull face.
Just as it was urging the foxes to hurry up and prepare for the next round of attacks, a heavy crossbow arrow that fell from the sky directly exploded one of the Eight Bull crossbows.
The flying debris scraped directly into Ali's face, causing it to take several steps back in succession, trembling on both legs.
These bed crossbowmen in Great Xia are all trained for a long time, and the heavy crossbow arrows consumed alone are a lot of money.
In such a situation, it would be a shame if one round of attacks could not destroy even the opposite eight-bull crossbow.
After just two rounds of shooting, the three eight-bull crossbows in the hands of the orc troops on the opposite side directly turned into three piles of slag.
This scene seems to be a clash of large ordnance, but it is actually a one-sided abuse by one side.
At this moment, Ali, Bey, and Kgrud had not very good expressions on their faces.
But now, there is no way back.
"Attack!"
With a roar, the orc troops charged directly towards the gates of the mountain city, trying to rush directly to the front, and then break the gates and rush into the city.
In this regard, Li Chuan naturally could not let the other side act arbitrarily, and immediately signaled the Eight Bull Crossbow to start sniping at the bear people outside the city.
The archers and goblin crossbowmen then opened fire to suppress the advance of the orc forces outside the city.
Immediately after that, as the distance narrowed, the three catapults that were ready to go also began to exert their might.
In the face of such firepower, Ali commanded his fox people and tried to counterattack from a distance with bows and arrows.
Then, it was instantly blown up by the defenders on the city wall.
However, in the face of such ferocious firepower, the orcs did not retreat, but were stimulated to the ferocity in their bones.
Covered in blood, they roared wildly, pushing forward against the attacks of the defenders.
With such a terrifying formation, even the defenders on the city wall who were constantly attacking felt the pressure.
As the distance increased, the orc troops gradually got out of the range of the crossbows and catapults.
Without the suppression of these two large weapons, the offensive of the orc troops became more ferocious, and the speed of advance was greatly increased, and they rushed to the city gate in a very short time.
Seeing this, Li Chuan immediately waved his hand, and the rolling logs and stones that had been prepared on the city wall immediately smashed down, smashing a group of orcs to the point that their heads were broken, their bones were broken, and their tendons were broken.
As casualties mounted, Bey eventually had to give the order to retreat.
This battle of offense and defense lasted for a week.
During this time, the orcs launched a total of four attacks, but all of them ended with the orcs retreating.
But as the battle progressed, the resources to defend the city in the mountain city became less and less.
The most troublesome thing is that those orcs are gathered outside the city, and they can't go out of the city to collect resources, let alone pass on information to the outside world.
It was under such circumstances that the orc forces launched a fifth attack.
After so many battles in a row, the orcs undoubtedly thoroughly figured out the attack methods of the defending troops.
At the same time, one by one, they all have experience and memory, and now they are facing such firepower suppression again, and they can be said to be not panicking at all.
The orcs in the front row, holding high the shields in their hands, pushed forward all the way against the fire of the defending troops.
That's the way it is on the battlefield, the more you stagnate, the faster you die.
After quickly rushing to the bottom of the city, the orc troops began to storm the city gates in a frenzied manner.
Bang! Bang!! Bang!!!
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
With a dense muffled sound, the gates began to vibrate violently, as if they would be destroyed by the next attack.
I have to say that the strength of these orcs is simply palpitating, even more fierce than siege vehicles.
After so many battles to defend the city, this city gate has already been destroyed, and Li Chuan can't let this group of orcs smash this city gate.
If the gate is broken, the goblin engineers can repair it, but if it is smashed, then there is only one option to replace the gate.
Taking advantage of the large number of orcs gathered under the city gate, Li Chuan asked the soldiers to throw another wave of rolling wood and stones below, and immediately ordered the city gate to be opened.
The closed gate slowly rose, and the faces of the orcs first flashed with doubt, and then they were about to rush inside, and then they were persuaded to retreat by the dense spears inside the gate.
Even some orcs had stopped, but the orcs behind couldn't react, so they could only scream and crash into those spears, which turned directly into a sieve.
The nearly five-meter-long spear, coupled with the cover of the large shield soldiers in the front row, put the soldiers in a relatively safe area, frantically launching a stabbing attack on the orcs who tried to rush into the city.
Such an intensive offensive made the orcs' offensive momentum obviously stagnant, and even the bear people, who were still menacing before, couldn't help but take two steps back at this time.
"What about werewolves? Don't go up yet! Facing the dense spears in front of him, Bey shouted loudly.
Bey didn't mean to send the werewolves to death, but because most of the werewolves had shields in their hands.
In the current situation, it makes sense for them to use their shields to block the spears on the opposite side.
As the patriarch of the werewolf clan, Kgrud didn't have a reason to watch his people die, but he finally fought hard.
Now in this situation, the doors of the human camp have been opened, as long as they break through this line of defense and kill in, this battle, they can be regarded as half of the victory.
At this time, if it retreats, the Bey side will definitely not be able to do well afterwards.
So to this point, it can be said that it has to go up.
The attack and defense of spears and shields are staged in the city gate hole.
The troops on both sides advanced and retreated, and for a moment, the situation fell into a brief stalemate.
It was at this time that Kgrud moved.
I saw that it took advantage of the gap caused by retreating during an attack and defense, and suddenly waved the war knife in its hand, and cut off the spearhead of one of the spears in one fell swoop!
The spear was nearly five meters long, and was made of wood except for the head.
The purpose of this is, of course, to save materials while also avoiding that the spear will not be too heavy.
Otherwise, if the spear was all made of metal, how heavy would it be?
I am afraid that the tens of thousands of troops in the entire Great Xia can use this kind of weapon, which is not enough for both hands.
But now, the wooden spear shaft has given Kgrud a way to crack it.
When the sharp spearhead is cut off, the spear instantly loses its lethality.
After all, these soldiers are not martial arts masters, and they can't kill people with wooden poles.
When the other werewolves saw it, they did the same.
That is, relying on the advantage of their rough skin and thick flesh, if they were replaced by humans, they would be poked into a sieve every minute.
At the cost of a few injuries, they finally broke up the spear array at the gate on the other side.
Having lost their sharp spearheads, the soldiers simply did not dare to continue the head-to-head confrontation with the orcs, and the spearmen quickly retreated to the back.
And the orcs who rushed in front rushed in.
