Chapter 87: The Fall of the City Gate (1/2)
Knock knock knock....
As soon as the morning dawned, the sound of rousing drums sounded outside the city, and huge war machines slowly advanced under the impetus of the green-skinned orcs.
These war machines are loaded with zombies and undead, and after Netre consults with the leaders of these two races, the greenskinned orcs are responsible for filling the moat.
Zombies, undead are on siege machines.
There are small carts, full of dirt, and under the carts there is a shaman, who are fastened to the bottom of the carts with ropes.
The green-skinned orc warriors alone need to forge a path through the rough moat that can be passed by the siege machines, and I don't know how many people will have to die to succeed?
So they took the initiative to ask for help, using shamanic sorcery, and the stones, wood, and dirt prepared by the orc warriors, to find a path that could be passed freely in a short time.
It's just that this path requires them to be stable with the power of a shaman.
Only then did he find the shaman hiding under the small cart and rushing forward with the orc warriors.
Hide underneath and no one will be able to spot them!
"War is all about fighting in one go." Knightley said to the descendants on the side, "Especially with humans, you have to have an indomitable momentum, either you die or I die, and let the other party fall into your rhythm." ”
"Also take this opportunity to have a good look at the hero world, the attack methods of the major hero races."
In their positions, it is possible to see the situation on the battlefield ahead, through the sound of horns, war drums, command the troops in front.
The colossal Kodomons were right and left, looking eagerly ahead with big eyes, and they were eager to fight.
Unfortunately, the adults don't let them go.
Knock knock knock....
Guided by the simple sound of drums, the orc warriors pushed small carts and shields made of wood, and rushed forward without a single formation.
The width of the moat at the South Gate Fortress is about 20 meters, and for ease of entry, there are drawbridges that can be pulled down and raised between the gate and the side occupied by the orcs.
In the middle of the river there is a very narrow and raised place, that is, the place where the drawbridges on both sides fall at the same time, which is a relatively critical point, and it is also one of the main attack directions of the orc army.
The orc soldiers ran forward as fast as they could, and when they came to the river, they came into the range of the city's troops.
After the leaders of the various clans went back to discuss it last night, more than thirty heroes withdrew from the fortress.
Lin Ya wrote down the names of these people, not to hold grudges, but to record their contributions.
After all, people have also helped.
Organize 150 archers, 30 Gog, and 30 lizard archers.
210 ranged units.
The logistical supply was the responsibility of the fort defenders.
"Freedom to attack!"
If the number of archers is too small to form a scale, it is better to let them attack freely.
This is more lethal.
Whoosh...
The arrow feather sank into the shield of the orc soldier in the distance, this is not an ordinary arrow, it has the fighting spirit of a soldier on it, and easily shoots through the improvised shield and hits the orc warrior hiding behind the shield.
From time to time, orc soldiers fell, but with more than two hundred ranged troops, how could it be possible to stop the assault of nearly five thousand orc soldiers.
The orc warrior came to the moat and threw the stone in his hand into the river.
The depth of the moat is about 3m, and the flow speed is not fast.
The stones fell into the water and stirred up a large amount of water, and more than a hundred stones were thrown down, only a few were exposed, but they were still too far from the other side.
The orc warrior pushing the cart came to the river, and the orc shaman hiding in it hid under the cart and carefully cast spells.
Since you can't change the terrain, use earth sorcery to help soldiers cross the river.
Then they use ice spells.
More than 20 shamans came to the river, hiding under the wooden cart and carefully casting spells.
The main thing is the fear of being interrupted by the cemetery practitioners on the city walls.
A large number of orc warriors stood behind them, who wanted to cross the river, but the conditions did not allow it.
On the other side of the river, there is a flat terrain of more than fifty meters between the city walls and the moat.
This meant that they crossed the river and entered the flat area, without a trace of cover, only exposed to the army of the Cemetery Clan.
In the South Gate Fortress, there are not only the Cemetery army, but also troops from other major races, including various flying armies.
In a wide flat area, the rear reinforcements could not be supported, and the enemy occupied a favorable position.
Soldiers in the past had only one way to die.
So they waited quietly, the shaman's witchcraft.
They believed that the shaman would be able to lead them through.
"What are those orcs doing?"
The Terran hero next to Lin Ya asked curiously, "Just stay by the river and let our ranged troops practice?" ”
Nearly five or six hundred orc soldiers stood on the banks of the river, and they did not throw anything into the river, nor did they put down the contents of their hands.
Most of them hold wood in their hands, and of course this thing can be used as a shield at a critical moment.
Sturdy logs can block bows and arrows.
The corpse witch said lightly: "They are waiting for the shaman's witchcraft!"
Witchcraft, in fact, is essentially the same as magic, and shamans hide themselves and think they are not exposed.
But when the elements moved, the corpse witch was keenly aware of the creatures hidden under the wooden cart.
For these heroes who are not too mature, he said: "You can close your eyes and use your mental power to perceive it, and you will find that the elements are flowing towards the wooden cart under the protection of the orcs. ”
"And then according to the flowing elements, you can perceive that those orc shamans plan to use ice elements to freeze the river."
Lin Ya immediately tried to perceive after hearing this, and sure enough, it was exactly the same as what the corpse witch said, she could feel the elements flowing.
And when perceiving, you can clearly feel a burst of coldness, which is a characteristic of the ice element.
The characteristics of different elements are different, and if it is a fire element, you will have a burning sensation of burning your body.
"Really!"
Lin Ya's face changed: "Isn't the moat useless?" ”
The moat is an important part of their defenses, as it can prevent the enemy from attacking large war machines.
With the current situation on the river, if the orcs want to transport the large war machines in the rear to the city walls, they must first build a bridge over the moat, or fill in a certain stage.
But now the other side only needs to freeze the surface of the river to push the war machine closer to the city wall.
The corpse witch nodded: "Yes, so you haven't found that in the hero world, the moats of the major races are different?"
Having magic in the moat is a waste of some mana for the mage.
Therefore, the major moats in the hero world are built according to the characteristics of the race and do not use special resources, such as flames that cannot be extinguished by magic, and lava that cannot be frozen. ”
"Don't worry too much." The corpse witch had already received the news from his master, and said to Lin Ya with a smile: "Let them come, this will be the place where their bones are buried." ”
"Are you so confident?" Lin Ya heard extremely confidence from the words of the corpse witch: "There is no moat, they will drive straight in, those war machines store a large number of dark creatures inside, once they get close to the city wall, those dark creatures will rush to the city wall." ”
All major races have flying arms, and in addition to combat, another task of the flying arms is reconnaissance.
The dark creatures' war machines are huge, and when they move, they don't move much.
Zombies and undead enter the war machine, all under the vision of the flying arms of the major races.
This is also the reason why Lin Ya is so worried.
The Corpse Witch smiled confidently, "The more they come, the better." ”
"Please also ask City Lord Lin Ya to transfer the Hero World troops from other urban areas.
The target of the dark creatures is the South Gate area, and there is no need to leave troops behind in other areas.
All we have to do is drag the dark creatures into the South City, and the winner of this victory will only be us.
Trust me!"
Lin Ya frowned, and suddenly remembered someone in her mind.
That person hasn't been heard from for a long time.
Lin Ya looked at the corpse witch in shock when she thought of this, and the corpse witch knew that Lin Ya had thought of it, and nodded to Lin Ya: "You guessed right." ”
"Didn't lie to me?"
The corpse witch nodded affirmatively: "Absolutely not lying to you. ”
"Okay, I'm going to gather the other troops!"
When the other heroes were confused, Lin Ya sent someone to transfer the troops in the DC area.
Then she thought of a question: "Many of the troops are very resistant to the Cemetery army, and if the Cemetery army is allowed to fight alongside them, it may cause a bad reaction!"
The corpse witch had already prepared: "Then they don't count together, just divide them into different areas like the area we divided before."
Wouldn't it be nice if one race was in charge of one area? ”
"This is a defense map for you."
Lin Ya took over the defense map, the areas divided above are all in the city, according to different streets, different racial combat effectiveness, each hero will be accurately arranged to which street, which house!
"You're going to fight them in the streets?"
Lin Ya was shocked by the corpse witch's plan: "Aren't you afraid of something happening?" ”
Corpse Witch: "Don't worry, we are the only ones who will win this battle, and we will only be us." ”
"Hurry up and prepare, the orcs are already preparing to cross the river."
Lin Ya was about to say something, but seeing the curious gazes of the other heroes around her, she didn't continue to speak.
Take the heroes to lead their respective troops to the defense area arranged for them by the corpse witch.
I saw that a layer of ice had begun to pick up on the moat, and the thickness was increasing rapidly.
An orc soldier with dirt in his hand throws mud onto the ice to increase friction and speed up the march.
The war machine in the rear is also slowly approaching the river.
5,000 orc soldiers, mixed with all kinds of dark creatures, as well as zombies and undead creatures.
At a glance, the past is full of dark creatures, giving people the feeling of a doomsday zombie siege.
Woo woo~~~
The orc soldiers held their breath, and from time to time their comrades fell by their side, but they had nothing to do with the enemy on the city wall.
Now we can only endure.
A desolate trumpet sounded, announcing the beginning of the general assault.
It also means that the ice of the moat is enough for the orc soldiers to move forward.
The orc soldiers, who received the order, jumped up and fell into the ice, causing no fluctuations and no cracks.
They stepped on the dirt-sprinkled area and rushed forward.
On the ice surface of about 20 meters, a few orc soldiers had already rushed to the opposite shore within a few breaths.
Click...
The gigantic war machine also fell into the ice, so that the war machine could smoothly cross the river, as well as go down and up the river.
The orc soldiers used wood and stone to create a ramp, and the huge war machine fell to the surface of the river, and the ice made a cracking sound.
The orc soldiers were a little panicked, but they pushed over anyway, and the shaman's face turned pale, and the magic power poured wildly into the river, making the ice even stronger.
This made these soldiers feel at ease and boldly push forward.
An hour after the army was dispatched, the orc army finally arrived under the walls of the South Gate Fortress.
The city wall is nearly 20m high, and if there is no war machine, the orcs can only turn around and flee when they see such a fortress.
In a fortress like this, your weapons are cut down on the city walls, leaving no trace.
Melee units cannot be hand-to-hand with the opponent, and if they have ranged troops, they will also be hunted by the opponent's ranged troops.
The other party occupies a geographical advantage and is in an absolute advantage, how can you shoot on the city wall underground?
In the face of such a fortress, the only way to turn around and flee is to turn around.
Click...
A huge well more than 20 meters high fell to the shore first, and it was full of mutated zombies, so the wood of the hero world was hard enough, and the material was good enough, and it was estimated that it would fall apart if it was touched to make such a war machine from ordinary wood.
From a distance, the city wall is getting closer and closer, and the orc warriors pushing the cart are getting more and more vigorous.
Grunt...
The wheels are rolling fast, and the zombies in the well are ready.
Bang~
There was a dull crashing sound, and the well slammed head-on into the city wall, and the zombies on top almost didn't fall.
Whoosh...
More than a dozen arrow feathers were stuck in the planks of the well.
Roar!
A zombie who seemed to be very ordinary, pushed open the well, roared, and jumped over at the skeleton soldier.
The size of the zombie in the air changed, from an ordinary zombie of about 1.7 meters, to a muscular zombie, and the body size even found more than two meters.
It's a mutant zombie with power.
The mutant zombie jumped down and smashed into the skeleton soldier, just landed 3, 4 bone knives stabbed into his body, and the power of death devoured all the energy in the zombie.
Don't think that because it's the power of death that also belongs to the undead, you can't hurt him.
The skeleton soldiers are not ordinary ruthless.
They won't have the power to fight back like zombies, and the creatures with relatively strong single strength have to be ruthless and can't let the other party explode.
Jump down and kill one skeleton soldier, and kill one team when you come, blade against blade.
When encountering enemies that cannot be killed in an instant, and enemies that are restricted, they choose to die together.
Fall from the walls together.
The walls of the fortress also have a forbidden space circle, which can be seen as increasing the gravitational pull of the ground below, and whether it falls down, it is a skeleton soldier or a creature stronger than a skeleton soldier.
At the lightest, they were all serious injuries.
With the arrival of the first war machine, the second war machine also slowly climbed onto the shore, bringing a large number of zombies.
In just ten minutes, there was some chaos on the city wall, and there were a large number of strong people among the zombies, that is, mutated zombies, they were very smart and would not fight alone with the skeleton soldiers, and they would first hold the position under their feet after they landed.
Create an open space for the zombies behind them, so that when they land, they have a place to stay.
In this way, the number of zombies on the city wall is increasing.
Half an hour later, the zombies had already obtained a certain area on the city wall, and at this time, the second well slowly approached the city wall, and the undead creatures on it jumped to the city wall excitedly.
Leading the charge is a kind of about 6m tall, huge, to be precise, hypertrophied, and looks like countless creatures with their bodies put together.
When he jumped on the city wall, he still spilled a large amount of yellow slurry on his body, and the stench was overwhelming.
However, as soon as the creature landed, the creature had its legs cut off by the skeleton soldiers, who preferred to deal with such large creatures.
After chopping off the opponent's leg, the skeleton soldier plunged headlong into the opponent's body, yes, sliced through the belly of the giant creature, and plunged headlong into it.
In the other party's body, there are mountains and seas, and when they come out, they are full of flowers and white maggots, crawling everywhere.
The green-skinned orcs shouted and cheered for these undead creatures under the city walls.
Instead of climbing up the well and rushing to the walls, they shouted below, and on the other side they slammed the fortress gates with their chariots.
Before they arrived, they had been ordered to stay under the walls as long as possible before the skeleton army was defeated and the gates were opened.
Wait for zombies and undead creatures to consume some skeleton armies before going up.
The zombies and skeletons didn't feel anything either, as they saw that the orc army had been trying to storm the city, pushing the war machine and ramming the gates with rushing carts.
The Dark Coalition Army has a total of three wells and four ladders, and after all the wells are copied to the city wall, the ladders slowly arrive.
At this time, there was chaos on the city wall, and the armies on both sides, you are in the middle, and I have you in me.
The Witch has retreated to the house below, leaving no more than 800 skeletons on the walls to resist the dark creatures of the city.
The battle had been going on for five hours, the dark side had suffered a lot of losses, and there were few skeletons left on the city walls.
The members of the Southern Gate Alliance, seeing the city wall being taken away so easily, always felt that the movements of the Dark Alliance were too smooth.
The defenders did not put up much resistance, so they let the other side occupy the city gates.
Click....
The Dark Coalition took over the city walls, rushed down, and opened the gates of the South Gate Fortress.
"Rush!"
"Kill!"
The green-skinned orc soldiers saw the gates open, swarmed in, and rushed in.
The army in the rear was also ready to move.
Knightlian said to the old shaman, "Grandpa, the city is broken, we can go up!"
Netre always felt that something was wrong, and the fortress door was too easy to open.
He always felt that the soldiers defending the city were releasing water.
"Wait!"
Netre flicked his hands in front of him, and the city gate appeared, only to see all kinds of flags planted on the houses in the city.
Netley smiled, "They're going to fight us in the streets." ”
"In order to fight, I don't even want the city walls now." Netre couldn't help but shake his head, the most important defense of a city is the city walls, these heroes retreated from the walls and chose to fight in the city.
"Order the whole army, dispatch!"
Netre waved his hand, and about 10,000 dark creatures of different shapes rushed forward excitedly.
They all couldn't wait to rush into the city.
"The fish are in the net!"
To the east, there was a large army of skeletons, heading south on a raft...
