Chapter 547: The Fangs of the Kaspersky Line
The main fortress is on the north side of the city wall. Although the valiant General Miró fought back and forth with his local guards. It's like a firefighter. kept extinguishing one danger after another, but in terms of form, it seemed that the defense of the city wall was becoming more and more difficult, and the human soldiers began to retreat one after another, and they faintly looked a little irresistible.
At this time. From afar, on this wall. Dozens of ladders have been erected, and subsequently, under the city walls. One after another, the orcs opened up in iron phalanxes. Because the walls of the city have been plunged into a fight. The defenders simply couldn't spare their hands to use bows and arrows to restrict the advance of the orc phalanx beneath the city. The phalanx of those orcs also increased a little.
The orc warriors lined up, the kind of people who held their shields high and marched forward to the subway party formation. Each one was about a thousand orc warriors. From the morning siege to the present. Bystin threw a dozen phalanxes into it. More than 10,000 orc warriors rushed forward and launched waves of attacks on the human walls.
The walls were full of fighting. Screaming, wailing, flesh flying!
In front of the orc army in the distance, the white rhinoceros Bystin looked coldly at the city wall. It sneered: "Hmph, it seems that these humans are so capable? It took humans two years to build this line of defense...... It seems that this is only the case! It's only been a morning. They won't be able to resist it, huh!"
Ground is true. Above the city walls, more and more orc warriors have occupied one climbing point after another, and then several in groups. Firmly form one array after another. Guarding the climbing point to the death. Let more orc warriors climb the city wall in the back!
The morale of the human soldiers seems to have slowed down. Although it is still resisting, it has gradually improved. Slowly retreating unconsciously, this makes the orcs occupy more and more space!
"That's it? This is the combat power of the human army? So, it seems. Within today's time, we will be able to occupy this fortress! I heard that the humans have set up three such fortresses in the north...... Hum. That's it. ”
Bystine began to feel a little smug in his heart. He didn't even put in the last jīng rui reserves. Even the powerful siege engines created by the dwarves were not used, and the Behemoths of the Orc Clan did not appear...... Relying on the simplest ladder, it is almost impossible for humans to resist!
This moment. The orc general couldn't help but look down on the human combat power in his heart.
It seems, in front of the invincible orc warrior land. Humans are really vulnerable!! The warriors of the orcs, in terms of combat effectiveness, are indeed far superior to the weak race of humans!
"My lord, it's almost. ”
As the defenders on the northern wall retreated, they were in a tall tower on the east side. A pair of eyes are stomping through the gap in the wall. Coldly observing the tragic scene of the battle on the city wall.
Rostock's face was indifferent, and although he was old, the veteran of the empire had a resolute and resolute face. On the battlefield. He seemed much more composed than the generals behind him.
"Adult...... "As the son of the commander-in-chief, Rochenthal is a little more courageous than the others, and he can't help but feel a little anxious. couldn't help but urge in a low voice: "I see it's almost there, General Miro seems to be a little nervous." ”
"Shut up. Rostock frowned and glanced back at his son: "General Miro is a brave general in our army, and I know him much better than you!
Look at his son's eyes. Rostock sighed in his heart, after all, he was still young. This only son of his own is brave in battle. But it's a simple fierce general type of boy. In the midst of the war. It's not okay to just punch and rush, and in the future, when you get old. His family wants to continue to gain a foothold in the imperial army. Enough wisdom is needed - but wisdom is the most lacking quality of his own son.
With a soft heart, Rostock pointed to the fierce battle on the city wall in the distance, and decided to nod his son: "See clearly, General Miro is very smart, although his soldiers seem to be retreating, they are not scattered." They were strategically retreating little by little, giving up space to the enemy. Try to attract as many enemies as you can to the wall! Do you understand? It's not time yet! Wait! Do you see below? These enemy formations are still advancing! Let them do a little more! Now that we have invested in this battle, we must get the most out of it!"
"But...... The dead and wounded of the soldiers ...... "Rochenthal was a little anxious.
"War, how can there be immortals!" Rostock glanced at his son coldly: "Wait." Miro can hold on for a while!"
Minute by minute.
Seeing that the defenders of the Empire on the city wall retreated more and more. Almost half of the walls were occupied by orcs. Just along the female walls on both sides, the defenders of the empire were still occupied, and the orcs on the walls occupied one tower after another, and they frantically smashed the heavy ballistas in the towers. More and more orc warriors crowded the walls, trying to attack inside, but the inner side of the walls was still occupied by human armies, resisting to the death......
More than two thousand orc warriors crowded the walls. Although the walls of the fortress are much wider than the other military fortresses of the Empire, they are still too narrow for the large orcs. Piles of orcs were crowded together, and only the orcs in the front row could take over with humans. The orcs behind could only shout frantically. Crowding forward, humans only need to firmly occupy the part of the female wall. Form a defensive array. Still able to resist the orcs to the death.
And General Miró, after taking his brave personal guards back and forth for a few rounds, also gradually ran out of sharpness. This is a brave general who has just been awarded the Order of the Empire. The armor on his body was also torn in several places. In particular, the armor on his left arm was deeply dented, and there was a huge crack. The muscles of the arm were already blurred.
This was left to him by an orc high-ranking warrior in the land he had just fought again. The orc warrior's knife slashed into Mirodi's arm. Orcs are under the power of the strong. Directly slashed his armor into cracks, if it weren't for being a general, Miro's armor would be a human manufacturing process. If you change to the armor of a normal soldier. I'm afraid this knife will cut off Miro's arm. and he was also stabbed in the thigh. But luckily it's not heavy.
At this moment, Miro's face was covered in blood. His arm was numb, and he couldn't even remember how many enemies he had killed. The long sword had already been curled just now. At this moment, he held a mace snatched from the hands of an orc warrior in his hand and swung it vigorously.
Minutes and seconds passed. In that tower, General Rostock's face grew serious, though he still looked calm. But the knuckles of the somewhat whitish fingers that were stomping on the wall. It also shows the nervousness of the old general.
Finally, when the generals in the back were no longer able to hold on, Rostock spoke.
"All right! The rabbit is in the nest! Let's go!"
In the distance, when the orc general Bystin was full of ambition, the humans launched a lore!
The first was the trench beneath the city, which had been mostly filled in. Originally dug under the trench by humans. Pipes had been buried one by one in the ground, after Rostock gave the order to "start".
The valves of those pipes have already been opened. The soldiers in the city who controlled the valve desperately unscrewed the pipe opening!
Soon. Under the pipeline, in the trenches that seemed to have been filled, large patches of oil were sprayed out of the pipes!
These are expensive oils. At this moment, it was secretly injected into those trenches, quietly. Silently soaked the wood that the orcs had filled in the trench, as well as the things that had been set on fire by the humans.
And at this time, all the orc warriors above and below the city. Suddenly, I heard a series of extremely strange sounds......
Click......
A series of movements that seemed to be the rolling of a mechanical winch. But it seemed to come from the inside of the city walls! But it was like a muffled thunder, and for a while, the sound kept ringing, and the orc warriors were a little dazed.
Under the city walls. It was still one after another orcs and iron party formations crowded under the city walls, and when the generals couldn't hold back anymore, Rostock spoke.
"All right! The rabbit is in the nest! Let's go!"
Distance. While the orc general Bystin was on his peak, the humans launched a lore!
First of all, the area under the city has been mostly filled in the trench, and under the trench originally dug by humans, pipes have long been buried in the ground. After Rostock gave the order "start".
The valves of those pipes have already been opened, and the soldiers who control the valves in the city are desperately unscrewing the openings of the pipes!
Soon, under the delivery of pipelines, one by one the trenches that seemed to have been filled in. Huge swaths of oil were sprayed in the pipes!
The expensive oil is now being secretly poured into the trenches. Quietly. Silently soaked the wood that the orcs had filled in the trench, as well as the things that had been set on fire by the humans.
At this time, all the orc warriors in the city and under the city suddenly heard a series of extremely strange sounds......
Click......
A series of movements that seemed to be the tumbling of a mechanical winch, but it seemed to come from the inside of the city wall! The sound was faint, but it was like a muffled thunder, and for a while, this sound kept ringing, and the orc warriors were a little dazed.
Under the city wall, there were still orc warriors crowded into the lower half of the city wall. They couldn't move forward because the human soldiers were stubbornly guarding the female walls of the lower city. They can't go back. There were no reinforcements behind him to continue to come up. Because the ladder has been completely destroyed!!
Seeing such a huge change. The orc general Bystine's eyes, which were still a little powerful, suddenly fell into a haze! Its eyelids twitched violently, and then it immediately roared abruptly: "Quick! Let the warriors under the city wall quickly retreat!!
It roared with anger and anxiety.
However, it was too late!!
Inside the fortress. Once again, the human longbowmen lined up and assembled, and under the command of the observers, the longbowmen once again performed several rounds of throwing!
Only this time. The target is not an orc warrior. But...... Those trenches!!
On top of the longbow lay a special rocket with arrows wrapped in igniting fuel! One by one, officers trotted with torches in their hands. Dash past every archer. Set the arrows on fire!
After the sound of bowstrings vibrating. Rockets flew out of the sky densely! It was like a meteor shower in the sky!!
Countless rockets shè in the area of the trenches, and in those trenches, there were already quietly oil-soaked wood. Gunnysack. And the corpses of the orcs...... and, the incendiary materials that have long been buried in the ground below and ignited the fire. It was ignited in an instant!!
One by one, the trenches quickly burst out of the flames, and the flames quickly condensed together, almost only in a moment, so that before most of the orc warriors could react, the fire had spread rapidly!!
A group of trenches up to 100 meters deep, in fact, each trench is internally connected! One by one, the trenches turned into walls of fire, and then spread rapidly along the connected parts of the trenches, and suddenly became a sea of fire up to 100 meters wide!!
And under the city wall, those orcs who lost their ladders and were crowded in a daze, and the orcs who were continuing to approach the city wall through the trench position. Almost just between a few breaths. was engulfed in that sea of fire!!
One hundred meters!
What is the concept of 100 meters?
Even the fastest runner among humans has to run 100 meters. It takes at least 10 seconds, not to mention most people. Not that kind of speed!
Not to mention the orcs, though they are strong and strong. But they are definitely not known for their speed!Not to mention that they also wear heavy subway armor!! It's even more strenuous to run!! Slower!
Needless to say, at the speed at which the orcs run. A full hundred meters away from the sea of fire, before you can run out, you have already been burned into a ball of fire!
A hundred-meter-long sea of fire. Immediately engulfed the orcs one after another of warriors!
Countless orcs roared desperately. Pushing, crowded. Fleeing towards the surroundings with all their might! Unfortunately, there was a lot of fire everywhere, so that many orcs couldn't even tell the direction in a panic!
In a panic. Every orc was desperately trying to run back, every orc was trying to push away their companions in front of them and run for their lives, but. The orcs, who could not escape in the midst of the fire, could not tell the direction! Lost quickly!
Even a large number of orcs who didn't know the direction were not running backwards at all!
The trench position is up to 100 meters wide, so what about the length of the sides?
This huge area of fire. There was a scream and howl of the orcs! Countless orcs were buried in the flames, one by one, and the teams of orcs turned into burning fireballs! Their bodies were covered with long hair, and they burned more easily than humans! Most of the orcs ran a few steps. Fell weakly, and some orcs choked on the smoke from the burning ground and couldn't breathe!
Bystin was almost stunned for half a minute. I finally came to my senses. An order was issued!
It sent two phalanxes of men to rush up to put out the fire, trying to pull out the soldiers who had fallen into the flames. But on the battlefield. Where can I find something to put out the fire?
Not to mention. The human archers still hid on the inner side of the wall, commanding through observers. Round by round of throwing shè!
The orcs under the city struggled and screamed in the fire. The flames soared into the sky, and the orcs on the city wall seemed to be collectively in shock!
Listening to the heart-rending howls of countless companions and their kind, the orcs on the city wall f, "Mingdan is timid!
This time. From the towers on both sides of the city walls. Rushed out a detachment of fully armed human beings who had already been reorganized! These soldiers had been waiting for a long time under the strict orders of Rostock! At this moment, they were under an order. These soldiers are swarming out!
The leader of the team is none other than the son of General Rostock, who is known for his bravery in the Storm Legion!
"Drive these spear monsters off the walls!!"
Rochenthal roared majestically as he withdrew the walls. He drew his massive slashing sword. Lead by example. The first to rush towards the crowded orcs on the city wall lone army! Behind him, there were large groups of human soldiers!!
Resistance gradually calmed down from fierceness!
Above the city walls, those who have lost their way out. Lost reinforcements. You can't move forward, you can't go back, and the orcs are alone. After some hard resistance, finally but only the human race fought back again and again!!
Countless orcs have been killed by humans. Some desperately orcs. Just hug the human who rushed to the nearest place and jumped hard under the city wall!
After nearly half an hour of fighting, more than 2,000 orc warriors managed to climb the city wall in the morning. All destroyed!
And under the city walls. The fire burned all day!
There are uncharred corpses of orcs everywhere!
Until the fire fades away. The ground was still emitting dead black smoke. The corpses of the orcs on the ground were burned to the point where they were no longer recognizable. One by one. Some are horizontally and vertically, and some are stacked in a pile. On the city wall, there are many orc corpses hanging on those huge spikes......
In the distance, the orc General Bystin fell into a terrible silence, his eyes full of anger and his teeth gritting. Staring at the human walls!
The sound of the fighting on the city walls is over, which is enough to tell Bystin that its attack has completely failed! The lone army on the city wall has been wiped out by the humans!
Ten Iron Fang Formations! A full 10,000 orc warriors, less than 3,000 ran back!!
Plus the previous losses of nearly six thousand cannon fodder to fill the trenches...... In today's first battle, I lost more than 13,000 lives!
But the walls of the human land! the tall walls. It was covered with heart-numbing thrusts! After being burned by the smoke and fire, the city wall has turned into a black city wall. But it still stands there! silent. It's like a cold monster that will swallow the life of an orc at any moment!!
"We're victorious! Father!!"
Rochenthal rushed to Rostock with an excited face. This brave young general was covered in blood on his armor and had several colors on his body. Only half of the sword in his hand remained, and his helmet had fallen off.
However, General Rostock's expression was not at all relaxed. Looking at his excited son, he said lightly: "We just won a battle." General Rochenthal, now is not the time to rejoice. ”
"According to the observation report. These monsters have lost at least 10,000 people!" Rochenthal still couldn't suppress his excitement: "One battle wounded 10,000 enemies. Father, this is a big victory!"
"The army is going to call me sir!" Rostock glared at his son.
Then he looked at the generals around him. He said slowly in a serious voice: "Everyone, we must not be careless! There are many, many enemies! Although we have won this first battle. But a lot of it was due to luck, like the direction of the wind! The fire under the city. Although many enemies were burned, it was because it was not a north wind blowing today! You think about it, if it was a north wind blowing today. We are on the south side. Set yourself on fire. It's going to burn to our own walls!"
"What's that! We've put a barrier under the walls, and we've got fire-fighting devices. Rochenthal laughed: "Speaking of which, the city wall designed by Duke Tulip is really amazing!"
General Rostock nodded: "Let's go to Dìdū, don't forget to write down the merits of Duke Tulip in the military newspaper, if there is no design of the city wall." We will never win so easily...... And the astrologer who calculated the climate and wind direction for us also gave him a share of the credit. ”
"Yes!" The local secretaries and officers around him hurriedly recorded them one by one.
After General Rostock finished speaking, he stood up and looked at the many generals on the ground: "We can't relax! Everyone! The fire device in the trench under the city wall is a one-time fire! It won't work next time! We have very little oil. It's not enough for us to do it again. The enemy is not a fool, they fell for it once. Next time, it'll be as easy as ever. In addition, our heavy armor-piercing arrows are too much to consume! Let the logistics officer go and urgently mobilize them! The wounded soldiers will be sent down as soon as possible...... General Miró's troops fought bravely in this battle. The sacrifice is great. Let his team retreat for a while...... Rochenthal, command your men to go up the walls. The man who replaced General Miró!"
After the orders were issued one by one, the old general's eyes swept deeply over everyone: "Everyone! The enemy is stronger than we expected! I believe you have also seen it." These monster races. They have far more combat strength than we do, and they have the courage to do it! There are still large numbers of troops outside the city! We must be prepared to fight for a long time! There is absolutely no room for slackness!"
"Yes!"
With the command of the boss. All the generals of the Tempest Legion stood in silence.
"And. In view of the fact that the first battlefield is going well. I have the power of the Empire's Northern Theater of Operations. Approve the second set of surprise attack plans! Execute it immediately! Send someone to contact General Andre, and now it's time for me to see what the combat effectiveness of this so-called ground air force is. ”
A hint of murderous aura flashed in Rostock's eyes: "Everyone, work hard! Fight bravely to kill the enemy, I will ask for credit for everyone!"
The largest of the orcs in a large tent. The braziers were burning all around. The face of the orc giant rock in the tent was so imprinted that yīn sank.
White Rhino General Bystin knelt in front of him. The huge body fell to the ground. The buttocks are pouted high, and the forehead and palms are on the ground. Guilty in the face of his own leader.
The orc's kneeling posture looks a little ridiculous. Especially the white rhinoceros. When they kneel on the ground, they have huge buttocks, which looks even more strange.
But at this moment. The leaders of all the orcs around them. But no one dared to laugh.
"King, today's battle is my defeat. Please punish me with the ancient laws of my people!" The white rhinoceros Bystin had a hoarse voice.
The rock stared dead at Bystine in front of him. It's struggling inside.
Although angry in the heart. After all, he is one of the giants of the orcs. This battle. Thirteen thousand orc soldiers were lost. And the enemy's walls remained intact, a [**] bare defeat. Let it be unacceptable in its heart.
But punish Bystine...... Bystin is a great warrior of the Rhino Clan! Naturally, we should be extra generous to our relatives! Although the rhinoceros clan is the royal family of the cattle clan. It is also the royal family of all the hoofers. But the population of the rhinoceros tribe has not been large, and it is the king. The rock was even more reluctant to take advantage of his faithful lineage.
"Get up. The rock finally spoke, and the urn spoke angrily.
The fair-skinned cow Bystine breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, knowing that the king's anger did not seem to explode for the time being.
"It's that we underestimate the fighting power of humanity. It looks like these scumbags. For 10,000 years, it has become more cunning, these guys are no match for us orcs, they will only use these vile tricks...... We'll have to be a little more careful next time. ”
The heavy sound of rocks. But no one around dared to refute the giant's words.
"We've only lost once, and besides, we haven't used our jīng Ace yet! Damn the dwarves, urge them! Let them make those siege engines as soon as possible! They spend their days bragging about how good their skills are. Let them come up with something real!"
The rock growled in annoyance. The body walked back and forth in the tent for a few steps. Suddenly, a trace of absoluteness flashed in his eyes: "Let the priests prepare...... It seems that the walls of humanity will be conquered. We need the Beamon Behemoth to fight!!"
As soon as these words came out. Suddenly, most of the surrounding orc warriors showed a look of surprise. Feeling.
Soon. The first place to oppose is the defeated sin general Bystin!
"King!" Bystin fell to his knees again. He pleaded loudly, "King! Now is not the time to send out the Behemoth Land of Beamon! It is not yet winter, and the fur of the Behemoth has not yet grown completely! Moreover, the Behemoth of Beamon has been dispatched once. cāo controls and drives the behemoth. It takes a lot of mana from the sacrifices! Now this is just the first line of defense for the human land we are attacking! There are a lot of human beings. in their kingdom. We don't know how many walls there are! Is the kingdom of mankind a big city, and we don't have many Behemoths. You can't use it that way from the start...... It should be saved until the most critical moments......"
said. It raised its head, but suddenly met the cold eyes of the rock. The white rhinoceros Bystin suddenly felt a chill in his heart!
It hurriedly exclaimed, "King, please give me another chance! I'm going to take this city of humanity! I'm going to use victory to wash away today's defeat!"
"Good. I'll give you a chance, and I'll transfer to a team of rhinos! and a team of sacrifices...... Furthermore. I'll give you two trolls to help you fight!!" "If you can't take this city again," exclaimed the rock, "then I will go into battle myself! Then it's a shame for our whole race! The first thing I did before I went into battle was to cut you down first. Slaughter your whole family!"
Bystin made a quick calculation in his mind.
The most effective rhinoceros team of the Niu Clan, there is also a team of sacrificial ...... That's a huge help! And two trolls!
Although the trolls are much weaker than the orcs and the mongols. But it's also terrifying in combat (it's the kind of giant beast that is several meters tall in front of the battle, with a huge earth drum and a six-ling iron cone. This troll legend has the bloodline of the Behemoth Land of Beamon. Although the combat power is much, much lower than the real Beamon Behemoth. But it's also terrifying)
As long as you watch out for human tricks, then ...... It shouldn't be a problem!
"Yes, king, I will take this city!"
The white rhinoceros Bystin gritted his teeth.
"Fight well. Don't let that tiger and that wolf see our jokes!" The rock gritted its teeth fiercely.
