Chapter 70: Reconquest

The sun is shining.

At the wall of the northern fortress, the smoke of gunpowder was filled, and the sound of shouting and killing resounded in the sky.

Countless tall and strong orcs with shields on their heads braved the rain of arrows to approach the city walls.

Engineering ladders were erected on the city walls, and the orcs climbed along the ladders towards the city walls.

On the city wall, the soldiers who defended the city lifted huge stones and wood and threw them downward, and some soldiers held sharp blades and constantly slashed the orcs who climbed the city wall.

Orcs were constantly falling from the walls, and beneath the walls were already rivers of blood and heaped with the corpses of orcs and humans.

"Roar!" Suddenly, an orc roared, an orc commander with the strength of a golden knight.

He climbed the city wall, armed with a great axe, opened and closed wide, and in an instant a dozen soldiers died at his hands.

The defenses on the wall were suddenly opened, and more and more orcs climbed the wall along the gap.

Seeing this, several golden knights came to support here.

After a fierce encounter, the orcs were finally pushed back.

But it wasn't long before another breach appeared in another part of the wall.

Today, the orc's attack is extremely ferocious, and it is a completely lifeless way of playing, and several golden strength commanders have all appeared on the stage, taking the lead.

The defense of the city wall was almost crushed by the orcs several times, but fortunately, the Golden Knight fought for his life and fought to the death, so it was difficult to defend it.

Under such circumstances, it is only a matter of time before the walls are lost.

"Woo woo ......" At this moment, a long horn sound came.

Then, the soldiers defending the city obviously felt a lot more relaxed, and the intensity of the orc's attack was much weaker.

Soon, however, they learned why.

"Look, it's our reinforcements that have arrived!" A soldier pointed to the distance and said loudly in surprise.

Other soldiers also saw a human force that appeared behind the orc army one after another, and the number of troops was no less than ten thousand.

"Brothers, hold on, our reinforcements are coming!"

Suddenly, the morale of the soldiers on the city wall soared, and their combat effectiveness also increased, driving all the orcs off the city wall.

In the distance, the human forces began to engage the orc forces.

Due to the ravages of the orcs in the northern provinces, these soldiers have more or less relatives affected, so they hate the orcs very much, and they will not be soft at all when they kill the orcs.

The orcs are fighting back desperately in order to survive.

The two huge armies collided together, and a bloody slaughter broke out in an instant.

As soon as the two sides came into contact, the battle entered a white-hot state.

Humans and orcs are constantly falling in pools of blood, and there are people filling the voids.

Xu Ning led six hundred knights and did not rush to make a move, but wandered around the flanks, pinning down a part of the orc troops, and at the same time looking for fighters.

Finally, at a certain moment, Xu Ning led his knights to charge the orc troops from the flank.

It was still Xu Ning who took the lead, the Golden Knight followed, and the last was the Silver Knight.

After several battles, Xu Ning has long cooperated seamlessly with the knights under his command.

Xu Ning drew out the knight's sword, and his fighting spirit exploded, taking the lead in smashing into the orc troops, opening a gap, and then the golden knights expanded the gap.

Xu Ning led the knights to fight from the flanks, as if he was in a no-man's land, and he went directly to the orc troops to kill him from the middle.

This wave of knights' charge suddenly made the morale of the orcs very low.

Seeing this, the human army immediately launched a fierce attack, beating the orc troops back again and again.

"Kill ......" At this time, the sound of shouting and killing suddenly came from behind him.

It turned out that after seeing the orc troops at a disadvantage, the deputy commander of the Sixth Knights was reluctant to be trapped within the city walls.

So, he took five hundred knights, mounted his horse and slaughtered the fortress, and launched an attack on the orc troops from behind.

Although there were not many of them, this gave the orc force the final blow.

After being flanked from the front and back, the morale of the orc troops finally collapsed, and a rout began to appear.

However, Xu Ning naturally would not let these orcs escape and then harm the civilians of the northern provinces.

Therefore, he immediately divided his knight team into six hundred-man teams and pursued the scattered orcs.

In the frontal battlefield, the human troops were like a rainbow, and the more they fought, the higher their combat effectiveness, and finally killed the orc troops to the point of collapse.

The next thing was much simpler, Xu Ning sent a part of the soldiers to continue to chase and kill the fleeing orcs.

Others were stationed in the northern fortresses to assist Anton in fending off orc forces from outside the north.

Anton looked at the information that his subordinates had just sent, and couldn't help but fall into silence.

At the beginning, because Xu Ning pressed him with his identity, Anton had no choice but to give Xu Ning a team of 100 people.

Unexpectedly, in just over a month, His Royal Highness the Prince, whom he once looked down on, actually did so many things.

He led his knights to raid the northern provinces, rescuing more than a dozen large and small towns, as well as rescuing the remnants of the besieged Third Knights.

With 600 knights, he wiped out a team of 100 orcs and won an epic victory.

Subsequently, in his own name, he gathered tens of thousands of soldiers in the town to support the northern fortress, and defeated the orc forces besieging the northern fortress in a battle.

These achievements are clearly written on paper, which makes Anton feel unbelievable.

With this strength, Xu Ning turned the tide of the war in the northern provinces and regained the northern provinces.

Just as Anton was pondering, Xu Ning walked into the combat command hall.

"Your Excellency Anton, we meet again!" Xu Ning said to Anton with a smile.

"His Highness Arthur!" Anton looked solemn and gave a knightly salute to Xu Ning, his eyes full of respect.

Compared with more than a month ago, the gorgeous armor on Xu Ning's body has become a lot damaged, and there are still a lot of dark red blood stains in the cracks of the armor.

"I'm sorry, Your Highness Arthur, and I apologize for my rude behavior before!" Anton said sincerely.

At the beginning, Anton thought that Xu Ning was just a willful prince, so he despised him a little.

However, Xu Ning proved himself with his record, which made Anton realize his mistake.

Xu Ning chuckled and said, "Don't care, Your Excellency Anton!" Now what's going on with the Stronghold of the North? ”

Afterwards, Anton told the truth.

Fortunately, Xu Ning's troops appeared in time, if it was a day or two late, under the attack of the orc troops, the northern fortress would probably be lost.

Now, the orcs in the northern provinces have been cleared, and all you need to do is concentrate on dealing with the orc forces outside the north.

With the new force brought by Xu Ning, it is not difficult to hold the northern fortress.

As long as they hold on for a while, the orc troops will naturally retreat due to food problems.

After stopping the introduction of Anton, Xu Ning couldn't help nodding, "Your Excellency Anton, the northern fortress will be handed over to you, and you must not lose it again!" ”

After speaking, Xu Ning left the command hall, and he also had his own deployment to do.
