Chapter 8: Attacks on Storage Centers (Part II)

The orc army on the castle tower was still strictly guarded there, although there was no longer a single figure to be seen on the street except for the orc army running back and forth, but they did not dare to relax a little. A squadron of orc soldiers guarding the city gate guarded the city gate tightly. Suddenly, three figures appeared in their sight.

Liu Yu stood behind Zhang Tianqi and Zhou Sheng with a bazooka, and aimed in the direction of the city gate. Zhou Sheng was armed with an assault rifle and a grenade launcher was installed under the barrel, and the grenade was loaded. Zhang Tianqi pointed his machine gun at the orc soldiers at the city gate.

Liu Yu shouted in a low voice: "Fire!" The rocket flew out with a "whoosh", followed by a loud "boom", and the city gate was blown apart. At the same time, Zhou Sheng's grenades were also fired at the city gate tower one after another. The explosions rang out continuously, and the orc soldiers guarding the city gate tower were blown up on their backs. Zhang Tianqi's machine gun continued to shoot out tongues of fire, knocking down rows of orc soldiers rushing by the city gate like wheat harvesting.

The orc soldiers had never seen such an attack, but they were only shot with a round of arrows and were hit without the power to fight back. The power of the grenade is already great, and the orc archers guarding the city gate tower are too dense, and every grenade that can kill and injure a large number of orc soldiers. The beast soldiers who rushed towards Liu Yu and them couldn't pass through the firepower net shot by Zhang Tianqi at all, and could only fall helplessly on the way forward.

Cold weapons kill and injure individuals, so for these orc soldiers in the era of cold weapons, only by forming a dense formation and putting as many combatants as possible can they give full play to their advantages in firepower. And when they are confronted with this new attack, the disadvantages become apparent. Thermal weapons are all surface kills, which can form an effective killing effect on all personnel within the attack range, and the denser the formation, the greater the lethality, and the better the attack effect.

After Liu Yu smashed the city gate, he also replaced it with an assault rifle, and the two grenade launchers attacked together, which was even more terrifying. The captain of the Orc Clan, who commanded on the tower of the city gate, was also stunned by this attack method, and just kept letting the tower shield soldiers go up to defend. However, this kind of tower shield that can resist crossbow arrows is like paper paste in front of the grenade, and it has no effect at all, on the contrary, the fragments of the tower shield also cause greater secondary damage to the orc soldiers. On the city gate tower, there are also beast soldiers who rush down the city gate tower to charge Liu Yu and them, although they have the courage to go forward and follow, but the weapon is not as good as the opponent, and they can only watch the enemy destroy them.

The casualties of the orcs are getting bigger and bigger, and more than half of the soldiers of the five wings have been killed. Liu Yu saw that the time was ripe, and shouted: "Rush!" The three of them rushed out of the city gate as fast as they could.

Seeing that Liu Yu and the others wanted to rush out of the city, the commander of the beast clan under command on the city gate tower issued a death order to his soldiers to keep these three enemies behind at all costs.

As soon as they rushed into the city gate, Liu Yu and Zhang Tianqi stood in front, and Zhou Sheng quickly planted explosives in the back. The city gate cave is twenty meters wide and thirty meters long, and the narrow terrain is even more unfavorable for the charge of the orc soldiers. Liu Yu and Zhang Tianqi stood there, a machine gun and an assault rifle blocking the road. A grenade shot by Liu Yu from time to time fell into the crowd, killing all the orc soldiers. The corpses of the orc soldiers in the city gate cave were soon piled up more than one person high, and the orc soldiers who rushed up behind could only step on the corpses of their companions and charge forward.

"The bombs have been planted and you can retreat. Zhou Sheng picked up the assault rifle and fired a shuttle of bullets, and shouted at Liu Yu and them.

Liu Yu and the three of them kept turning around and shooting while running out of the city. Arrows rained down on the gates, but unfortunately none of them could be wounded. After a while, Liu Yu and the three of them had retreated to a place five hundred meters away from the city gate. A large number of orc soldiers were pouring into the city gate, preparing to pursue Liu Yu and the others. Just as the orc soldiers were about to rush out of the city gate, there was a sudden explosion that shook the ground.

The entire city gate tower completely collapsed in the loud noise, whether it was the orc soldiers in the city gate cave or the city gate tower, with the collapse of the city gate tower, all of them were buried in the ruins.

Seeing that the city gate had been blown up, and the orc soldiers would not be able to catch up for a while, Liu Yu and the three of them quickly evacuated to the east, and disappeared into the vast night after a while.

Commander Aso, who had been commanding the storage center to the north, soon received the news that the East Gate had been lost and that the enemy had fled eastward. When the staff officer told Aso the news, he stood aside and didn't even dare to breathe, for fear of annoying the supreme commander of Farke City.

After listening to the staff officer's report, Aso kept walking around the command post, thinking solemnly. Seeing that Aso had not made a sound, the staff officer had the courage to ask in a low voice: "General, do you think you want to go out of the city to pursue them?"

After a while, Aso slowly walked to the chair and sat down, shook his head and said, "Forget it, don't chase it." There were only three of them, and they didn't see what they looked like. Our territory is so big, they can hide wherever they want, and it will be difficult for us to find them. Pass on my orders, hurry up to treat the wounded, clean up the battlefield, and count the losses. Don't come and disturb me without my command. ”

"Yes, General. The staff officer glanced at Aso, and when he saw that he didn't mean to speak again, he cautiously retreated.

When the staff officer walked out of the command post, Aso's body went limp and he collapsed in his chair. When did mankind have such advanced weapons? Just three people! They destroyed four storage centers and burned down millions of grains and equipment. Although it is said that the inland city has been too peaceful for a long time and has neglected to take precautions, in the end, under the encirclement and interception of 100,000 troops, these three people still escaped, which shows that the strength of the other party should not be underestimated.

This must have been done by the humans of the Dragon Empire, but where did they come from? Infiltrated from the east of our empire? Impossible! There are no monkeys in the east, and if they had come from the east, they would have been discovered long ago. Is it to climb over the Malayas? Do they have such ability? It should be! Since they have such advanced weapons, it is not impossible if there is any equipment that can help them cross the Malayas.

If all human beings can be equipped with such weapons, then we are not far from extinction? It is necessary to immediately report this situation to the Beast Emperor, and let His Majesty make plans in advance, so as not to be too late.

Reinvigorated, Aso walked out of the command post, and the adjutant was already waiting aside. Seeing Aso walking out, the adjutant hurriedly greeted him. "Have you counted all the losses?" asked Commander Aso.

"Yes, General, the results are all counted. Hearing Aso's inquiry, the adjutant immediately replied, "Due to the proper command of Ozawa-kun, the loss of the storage center in the west is not very large, and the grain has basically not been burned, but some equipment has been crushed by the collapsed warehouse, and it needs to be repaired before it can be used again, and some of it has also been scrapped." ”

Aso nodded and motioned for the adjutant to continue.

"The biggest losses were in the storage center in the south, because the commanders of the five wings stationed there were all killed, and the lack of effective command caused all the materials stored in the warehouses to be burned. A total of more than 2 million tons of grain and more than 1 million sets and pieces of weapons and armor were lost. The storage centers in the north and east have fought hard and grabbed more than 600,000 tons and more than 500,000 tons of supplies respectively. The adjutant said as he flipped through the battle report that had been submitted.

"Well, how much is the loss in terms of personnel?" Commander Aso then asked.

"In total, more than 14,500 officers and men were killed and more than 18,000 wounded. Twenty-three people were killed at the level of group commander, and eleven people were killed in the captain. The fallen were mainly concentrated in the wolf guard wing in the northern storage center and the city defense army at the east gate. More than 9,000 people were killed in these two places. And," the lieutenant added, "the lord of Fark City was also killed in this attack. ”

"I know, first organize people to rebuild the storage center and the east city gate, and the bombed-out pavement on the street will also be repaired, and then deal with the aftermath. I will personally report this matter to the Beast Emperor, and I will bear all the responsibility alone. Okay, you go down and get busy. After Aso finished speaking to the adjutant, he left the temporary command post and returned to his mansion.

Liu Yu and the others first traveled about ten kilometers to the east, and then turned north. After more than an hour of travel, it was already dark. Seeing that there were no orc soldiers chasing after them, the three of them stopped to rest and discuss the next plan of action.

This battle was the first time Liu Yu commanded the battle, although the number of people was a little smaller, but the result was quite satisfactory, and the pre-war deployment was basically completed. According to his calculations, at least half of the material reserves of Falk City were destroyed, and the blow to the orcs was still huge. It's just that while achieving a good record, he also exposed his strength. If the commander of the orc clan is shrewd enough, he will definitely find a lot of problems from it, which will bring a lot of trouble to future operations. But I can't do so much now, so let's discuss the next actions first.

Zhou Sheng took out a map of the beast clan's territory, spread it on the ground, pointed to a point on the map and said, "Liu Yu, we are probably in this position now, more than ninety kilometers to the northwest is Gangjing City, and more than eighty kilometers to the northeast is Futian City. Which direction are we going?" The maps were all bought by Zhou Sheng in Falk City, and the human race did not know much about the interior of the Beast Clan, and now that he had such an opportunity to obtain some of their information, how could Zhou Sheng, who was born in the Reconnaissance Department, let it go? Therefore, he not only purchased a large number of various maps of different scales and sizes, but also bought a lot of books and atlases introducing the various provinces of the Beast Clan.

After thinking for a while, Liu Yu said: "Let's go to Gangjing City first, if we make such a big deal in Fake City, the orcs will definitely want us everywhere." Heading west, the vast majority of the people living there are monkey tribes that look like us, where we are less conspicuous and easy to hide. Also, Okajing Castle is a big city, and it is not easy to attract the attention of others with a few more fresh faces. ”
