Chapter 170: The Corpse on the Snow River
The bloody war slowly kicked off.
From the first day, the siege was tragic enough.
The beast tide stormed for three days, and climbed the city wall several times, but was killed by Pang Ge's troops.
ultimately
The orcs threw nearly 4,000 corpses under Snow River City, but they couldn't gnaw this hard bone.
This is a rough count of the scouts.
It is more difficult to count the casualties of the orcs, and these green-skinned beasts will take the corpses back without wasting a single piece of meat.
At the beginning of the siege, most of the orcs were bare-handed.
The next day, the orcs who charged ahead had bone shields, bone axes, and bone clubs.
When they retreat, they also take arrows from the battlefield with them.
On the third day, archers appeared among the orcs.
As Ponger said, after filling their stomachs, the intelligence of orcs is not inferior to that of humans.
The orc attack swept away the previous mess and began to show its order.
They will feint, they will focus on storming a wall, they will harass all day long, they will build rudimentary trebuchets and arrow towers...
It's like having a good general commanding orcs.
It's a pity that in front of Ponge, 'excellent' is not enough.
The remnant sun is like blood, and the orcs who have just finished the charge are cleaning up the battlefield at the moment, taking everything they can take away.
Pang Ge, who was standing at the head of the city, had a little cracked at the corner of his mouth, poured a large mouthful of water, and there was a faint sadness between his eyebrows.
"Awu, if you were to defend the city, we would already be dead."
Behind Ponger, Awu was bandaging the arrow wound, trying to defend himself.
The war continues to this day, and even in the most critical moments, Ponge did not use artillery.
Even if it is replaced by Awu himself to command the defense of the city, coupled with the power of artillery, with the defensive strength of Snow River City, it should not be a problem to defend it for three days.
Seeing the incomprehension in Awu's heart, Pang Ge poured another sip of water and continued,
"I'm not talking about the outcome of the war, but the outcome of the war. Some battles were lost on the first day and were defeated on the tenth day. ”
In Ponger's eyes, this battle still has to be fought.
At least, on the battlefield of Snow River City, with Pang Ge personally in charge, there is a high probability of victory!
In the castle of Nice, it will not matter whether the whole war is won or lost, and the orcs will not waste troops and time there.
What really made Pang Ge feel the pressure was not the more than 10,000 orcs gathered outside the city, but Snow Valley Town!
He can defend Snow River City, and Shenbang doesn't need to worry about anything.
What about Luden?
If Snow Valley Town can't be recovered, even if Pang Ge finally defends Snow River City, he won't be able to counterattack when the beast tide retreats and further expand the results.
While Ponger was pondering, a herald hurried in and reported,
"General! The orcs are withdrawn! ”
Withdrawn?!
Ponger stood up, pulled out his binoculars, and looked at the orc camp in the distance outside the city.
There, dense green-skinned orcs are running north, impatient.
In the telescope, Ponge saw it clearly, and many orcs threw away the food in their hands and ran as hard as they could.
What could make them so anxious?
Ponger thought of the answer.
Putting away the binoculars, Ponge's expression did not change at all, and he said in a deep voice,...
"The orcs have breached a city to the north."
As soon as Pang Ge's words came out, all the guards, including Ah Wu, turned pale with a sinking face.
This is not good news.
The city is breached, and a large number of people will fall into the hands of the orcs...
For these orcs, the buffet, the meal.
And only this reason can make the orcs have this reaction.
When the orcs are full of food and drink, there will be more and stronger orcs who will come to Snow River City and launch a new round of offensive.
There's no time to sigh.
Everyone was still immersed in shock, and Ponge had already begun to call the shots,
"Send ten cavalry squads, disperse reconnaissance within 100 miles, collect intelligence, and don't fall in love with the enemy."
"The light cavalry brigade went out from the west gate, went around to the north gate, burned the orc camp, and retreated when it encountered the enemy."
"Send death squads, cavalry, follow the main force of the orcs, and investigate the situation..."
“......”
Every time Ponge gives an order, the corresponding personal guard or centurion leaves and is responsible for carrying it out.
The fighters who can follow Pang Ge are all honed in countless battles, and their quality is excellent.
Right now, Snow River City is the safest, and the orcs are busy eating buffets, so they won't be able to get along with Snow River City.
Wait for the orcs to finish their buffet, and then come to the siege...
By that time, the pressure on Snow River City will be ten or a hundred times greater than it is now!
Of course, there is another case.
Snow River City can stand tall under the siege of the orcs, becoming a nail in the land.
There is no need for the beast tide to compete with a city.
They will continue south, going further afield, looking for soft persimmons to pinch.
There is no need to be afraid of the Divine State, no matter how many orcs come, the Divine State will not be in danger.
They had the highest walls, the most supplies, and the largest caliber of artillery!
It's just that, in this way, Snow Valley Town is in danger!
"Finally..."
Ponger gritted his teeth and said,
"Tell Ludon that if he dies, Awu doesn't want to live!"
Awu: ???
Awu immediately reacted, and Ponger meant something.
Mr. Luden... Will it be dangerous?
...
"What danger can I have here?"
In the town of Snow Valley, a manor house was converted into a temporary command center.
Ludon leaned back on a bamboo mat as someone massaged his shoulder.
Justice Enwei exerted a slight force in his hand and explained,
"Pong's letter was sent three days ago."
In this era when communication is basically based on roaring, it is very troublesome to communicate in peacetime, and it is even more said in times of war.
If it weren't for the fact that Ludon had trained a group of carrier pigeons, communication would have been more troublesome.
"Focus, haven't you eaten in the morning?"
Luden closed his eyes and said casually,
"Calculating the time, Ponge should face the most dangerous wave of offensive these days.
If Ponger resists, the orcs will give up attacking Snowriver City and continue south.
That's when we were the real danger. ”
If the letter is correct, Ponger did not use artillery in the early battle.
Orcs are wise.
Using artillery in advance will only alert the orcs to find a solution.
Even if they can't find a good solution, the orcs will scatter to minimize the lethality of the artillery.
At the moment when the orcs attacked the most violently, the formation was the most dense, and they were defenseless......
Artillery - Heroes are here!
Ludon believes that as a true battlefield artist, Ponger's micro-manipulation of local wars is top-notch.
He will definitely bring out the artillery to the fullest.
It was also based on this trust that Ludon mobilized the most artillery and placed it in Snow River City for Pong's use.
Gunpowder, shells... All that can be raised in a short period of time has been transported to Snow River City.
More of them, piled up within Snow Valley Town, can be transported to Snow River City via the Snow River.
Listening to Lutdon's words, Justice Envy hung her head slightly, not knowing what she was thinking.
In the past three years, she has not had much contact with Luden.
This is a high-profile man, but at the same time a mysterious man.
The two are not contradictory.
Even if he gets closer to Ludon, this nasty guy can still disguise himself well if he wants to hide.
After nearly half a month of getting along, Justice Envy finally understood why Mr. Luton was a recognized friend of women in the Divine State.
Even the one... I can't forget him.
The more I got to know him, the more I was attracted to him, and the more ... Dangerous.
Thinking of the danger, Justice Enwei was still a little excited, and subconsciously smiled.
"Someone told you that you look good when you smile?"
Lutden's words interrupted Justice Envy's thoughts.
She deliberately straightened her face, tilted her head slightly, and her eyes wandered.
"A lot of people have said something like that, Mr. Ludon."
Listening to the deliberate distancing in the other party's words, Lu Deng shook his head with a smile, didn't say anything, but said to himself,
"When this battle is over... Oh no, this statement is like a standing FG, as an atheist, I can't be so superstitious, and when the battle is over, I will ask the best stonemasons in the state of God to make a stone carving for you. ”
Purely from an aesthetic point of view, it is a pity that Justice Enwei's appearance does not leave anything for future generations.
Justice Enwei said coldly,
"I don't like stones."
As if afraid that Luden would misunderstand, she explained,
"Stone carvings are going to break, they're going to be ruined, and I don't like that."
As soon as he finished speaking, Justice Envy regretted it.
She explained to Ludon what this was for!
"Okay, it's up to you."
Ludon then said,
"Ask a painter, the kind that paints oil paintings, you sit there, show a faint smile, I have helped you think of the name of the painting, it is called [Justice Enwei's Smile]..."
Justice Envy was amused and corrected with a smile,
"Mr. Ludon, there are not many good oil painters in the Divine State."
Compared with oil paintings, the saints of the state of God prefer the form of statues.
Pang once showed Lutten a stone carving, made in reference to Pang himself's own one-to-one scale, with the best craftsmen, and it took three years to complete the carving.
After reading it, Ludon felt that it was generally okay, but in some aspects, the ratio may not be 1:1!
Impossible, absolutely impossible!
Unconvinced, Ponger invites Ludon to the public baths on the spot to open his eyes.
After Ludon politely refused, he casually gave Pang a few first drafts and asked him to order according to this.
What David, the thinker, Cupid with the bow, Napoleon's world famous paintings... Wen Zhiwu, Lu Deng gave Pang Ge a whole set. …
Ponger was happy with this and spent all his net worth on it.
Lutdon tearfully accepted the order and began to make craftsman-like handmade artwork for Ponge!
"Not many oil painters?"
Ludon smiled and said casually,
"As long as there is enough Miso, there will be enough oil painters in Shenbang. 100,000 meters is not enough, so 1 million meters will be smashed. 3 years is not enough, just wait 10 years! ”
This said... It's inevitable that some are too tyrants and nouveau riche.
But when Ludon showed a completely different temperament, he exuded a strange charm.
Possible... The soil is the tide.
People who are willing to spend a lot of money for themselves, Justice Envy has seen a lot.
is the first one who is as domineering as Luden.
Moreover, Ludon is pure.
Pure womanizer.
Justice Envy decided to change the subject,
"Mr. Luden, how do we know the state of battle at the front?"
"Ponger will inform us, he is a good commander."
Ludon said leisurely,
"Pang Ge defended Snow River City, the orc strategy gave up, continue to go south, we let the orcs eat deflated in Snow Valley Town... The tide of the war is moving in a favorable direction. ”
As for how Ponger will inform himself?
Ludon could probably guess.
Ponger doesn't send pigeons, heralds, or anything like that.
He would use a faster method, a faster way than the orcs would advance, and tell Ludon more directly and intuitively what he had achieved.
Therefore, Ludon ordered in advance that the townspeople should store all their domestic water.
Leaning on the snowy river, they rarely have the habit of storing water.
But now that the dictator has spoken, the townspeople have to do it.
"In addition to the battle situation, I am thinking about another problem, which I am better at."
Luden's words caught the attention of Justice Envy.
He's not pretending to be sophisticated, and he's not interested in being a riddler.
"The law of the orcs going south, the bell of the high platform... Don't you think it's too much of a coincidence? ”
"It's a coincidence."
Justice Envy said helplessly,
"We asked the elders on the high platform not to ring the bell, but the orcs still went south, and the gods suffered heavy losses that time.
As for the law of going south... This thing is even more random than the Shenbang lottery, and there is no pattern to speak of. ”
If there was really a pattern for orcs to go south, the university scholars would have studied it a long time ago!
It has nothing to do with the climate, it has nothing to do with time, it has nothing to do with food, it has nothing to do with any external factors ...
It's only about the bells.
It's like there's an invisible wall blocking the orcs.
When the bell rang, the wall disappeared and the orcs dared to go south.
Of course, Ludon also knows this information.
"Anyway, for the past few years, I've been trying to raise goblins and teach them to speak and read..."
Goblins, like dwarves and humans, are truly intelligent creatures.
Ludon is familiar with how to raise this green-skinned creature.
"For three years, I failed."
Luden shook his head and said helplessly,
"The wisdom that living beings have evolved for thousands or 10,000 years seems to have been ruthlessly deprived by the Creator in just eight hundred years."
This is not normal.
If, the empress didn't do anything to the goblins.
Well, there is an external factor that interferes and affects the goblins at all times, making it impossible for these guys to learn. …
Ludon has narrowed it down to a small one.
After the bell rang, Ludon selected a group of goblins with relatively sound brains, retrained them, and taught them to speak.
Thinking of this, Ludon smiled,
"Suddenly they can learn, they can recognize objects, they can learn simple words, they can become truly intelligent creatures..."
Ludon was right when he guessed.
It's true that there are things that interfere with goblins and orcs all the time, but this kind of thing doesn't affect humans.
Sound waves beyond the frequency of human perception?
Goblins have a wider range of hearing frequencies than humans, and can hear sounds that humans can't hear.
This is the most likely conjecture, which is still being verified by further experiments.
Justice Envy didn't understand why Luton had suddenly brought up the subject.
The conversation between the two was interrupted by a hurried shout.
"Mr. Luden!"
Justice Ruofer's face flushed, and he was out of breath and broke into the room.
When he saw Justice Annvy massaging Luden...
He admits that, as a man, he is a little jealous.
Justice Joverphor quickly came to his senses and hurriedly said,
"Snow River! Snow River! ”
He was so excited that he stuttered a little, and it took him a long time to finish a complete sentence,
"Countless orc corpses floating on the snowy river!"
