I remember when I returned to Brightwood the other day, the fortifications outside the city had not yet been completed. I understand that the person in charge may relax because the war is over, and admit that there is really no economic benefit in repairing these things, only the cost of money.

The walls are still made of wood, and although they are reinforced with earth and stone, I don't have much hope for it.

Five days, that's what Reggie told me about his projections. And what I thought about was how to make this small town withstand five days of attack. Five days, or if the troops have been sent today, but the question is whether it can?

There are also those who are busy with their property and refuse to leave, and I have no leisure to persuade them, their life and death are not beyond my control. I remembered Marcus.

When he saw me, his face was full of surprise, and his eyes were full of surprise and hope, "Where have you been?" You're ......."

"Don't talk nonsense." I opened the cell door. He's not wearing the clothes I bought for him.

"Why are you still an officer? Who are you......"

"I told you not to speak." I pinched him the waist, and his screams of pain echoed through the cell.

I dragged him out of the cell, and Reggie was talking to the cell guards when he looked at me and then at the dirty Marcus.

"Thank you." Marcus nodded to Reggie.

Walking down the street, Marcus asked, "I thought you ran away." ”

I glanced at him, "I can run away." ”

"Are you an officer?"

"I don't want to listen to you now, you can eat something and run away." I say.

"What's wrong?"

"There's going to be a war." I say.

"What's the situation?"

"The orcs are coming, you better run quickly, the faster the better." I say.

He didn't speak, but followed me to the barracks, where the streets were now in a mess, and there were absolutely no places to eat.

Giving him something to eat, I handed him my cloak, "Be careful on the way, I finally brought you back from the forest, don't die on the way." ”

"No, no, no." He snorted, "Thank you." ”

I glanced at him. "Let's go."

"I can't repay it." At this time, he actually had a sad expression on his face.

"If you want to repay me, I won't save you." I said, "Stop grinding, get out, you won't be able to run as soon as the orcs come." Remember to run west and don't look back, or find a way to stay in Stormwind for a while. I sighed, "If I could...... You'd better get a job in King's Port. ”

"Why ......"

"Get out of here!" I turned and left.

Towards dusk, the wolf cavalry appeared again at the end of the road, and all the soldiers were in battle mode. Just as it was getting dark, the orc troops came into view.

When the orcs lit the torches, I saw them set up camp. As the scout said, the number of vanguard troops is already overwhelmed, if the troops from behind rush over...... Five days, maybe two days, are hard to last.

Three days, maybe the surrounding militia defense forces can rush over, and if the troops west of Luji Town come, it may take three or four days. Can we hold on to this war of attrition?

The moon is bright tonight, and the moon in the west is round tonight.

"If we can mess them up tonight, maybe tomorrow will be a little easier." I say.

"I guess I'll be shot before I get closer." Reggie said, looking into the distance.

"Commander, do you know you?"

"I don't know."

"Good luck." I turned around and went to rest. The moon was full tonight, the moonlight was shining through the window, and the city was quiet, and I think everyone was waiting for the next moment to blow the horn of death.

I couldn't sleep for a while, so I walked to the barracks, walked to the stables, and looked at the quiet horses inside. Then I went to the wall to take a look, but my heart was half cold, and the orc siege engines had arrived.

The orcs were not in a hurry to attack, and their wolf cavalry circled the city several times, and these hundreds of wolf horsemen had already cut us off the idea of escaping. Once the city is abandoned and retreated, the consequences can be imagined.

What came to my mind was the early retreat I had told Reginald, but now there was no chance of retreating.

We can't attack, and there are less than sixty real cavalry plus patrol scouts in the city, and we are looking for death when we go out. And all the people in the city who can fight are less than seven hundred.

It's a little easier to defend a city than it's to siege it, but I'm not sure how much easier it is to defend a city at this height against an orc force.

In the early afternoon, the sound of trumpets broke the last silence, and the orc forces began to attack. This kind of lonely city standing on the plain is easy to besiege, and if it is a high wall, it is fine, and watching the orcs slowly approach the siege engine makes my heart more and more worried.

When I saw the artillery coming from four hundred meters away, I instantly felt despair.

A large group of orcs under the pressure of black pressed approached step by step, and they pushed the siege engine forward slowly. Suddenly, the orc cannon went off, and a second later the soldiers on the wall erupted in a miserable cry.

I don't know how many cannons the orcs have, and I'm not in the mood to count. After three rounds of artillery bombardment, the siege engine pushed by the orcs was less than a hundred meters from the city wall. Our artillery let out the same roar, and each shell that flew out could take the lives of several orcs, but it still felt too weak. Not enough, far from enough!

I stood in the gap where I had been bombarded once, trying to make every arrow I shot fall on an orc. But there were too many, and every arrow seemed to miss when they whimpered, but every arrow seemed useless.

Orc cannons are still bombarding the walls, and our wooden walls are almost shattered by shells.

We were too crushed to come over, and the orcs fired a volley of bows and arrows was no joke. It was pure bad luck to be hit by shelling, but being shot by an arrow was purely a matter of combat experience.

The arrow tower is getting closer and closer, and the orcs who rushed to the city set up a ladder and began to climb up, and the white-knuckle battle is about to begin.

The arrows in the quiver next to me were almost empty, and the orcs' arrows were much thicker than ours, and our bows were useless. I kept changing places, trying to make up for every omission, but it wasn't enough.

8.53

Shoot out an orc who just climbed up with an arrow, and all I can do now is try to deal with the orc who climbed the wall. At this time, the accuracy of my bow is extremely high, but this is far from enough, and the ladders that cannot be counted are not just from the left or right of the sentry, and the role of the archer is a little unplayable when dozens of ladders climb up together.

I didn't dare to climb to the high sentry, the wood was higher than the forest and the wind would destroy it, and I would definitely be targeted by them in the shortest time when I stood on the top, so I kept moving my position.

Hot oil was poured over and over again, and although the oil was hot and untouchable, it had little effect. Soon the orcs killed the city wall, and after a while, the arrow tower was pushed to the wall, and with a loud bang, a group of fierce orcs with teeth and claws rushed out of the arrow tower.

It's going to break!

There was no time to shout, so I put away my bow and drew my sword to meet it, and Reginald struggled to support it, and I ran over and stabbed one to death, and another into the neck of an orc.

Slashed three or four more and I squeezed to Reginade's side, "The city is broken!" Reggie! Remove! Evacuate! ”

"Not yet!" He shouted.

"The walls have been breached! Remove! If you don't withdraw, you won't have a chance! I yelled.

Before he could say anything, he felt a tremor under his feet. I heard someone shouting, "The city gate is broken!" ”

It was the gate that was shelled open. I grabbed Reggie, "The city is broken!" Evacuate! "My voice is hoarse.

He was dragged by me, and when he turned his head, he saw a large number of orcs pouring in from the city gate, and everyone collapsed in an instant. I pulled him and ran, but he didn't resist at this time, but ran after me.

One run will take away ten, and ten can lead a hundred, and no one will resist at this time, even if they are caught up, they just want to run faster. Some people ran into the town, some people ran into the alleys, and I dragged him to run like crazy. Several times I ran so fast that I almost dragged him down.

Rushing to the small courtyard behind the barracks, I rolled over and got on my horse. He gasped in surprise, "Don't gasp!" Come on! I shouted.

He climbed onto the horse, and I rushed out the door as soon as I got my legs between them. The defeat was like a mountain, and when we rushed out the door, the streets were filled with nothing but running human soldiers and orc infantry in hot pursuit.

The horses galloped on the deserted street and we went all the way to the west gate, near the north gate I don't think it was safe, it is true that the north gate is not far from the woods, if you run in this direction is the most appropriate, but after entering the woods, the wolves that are scattered can be hunted at will. Although the west is an open field, it is entirely possible for the horse to get rid of the wolf in a short time.

There were not many defenders at the west gate, and they understood when they saw us galloping towards us, they were running faster than us, but the wolf cavalry who had just gone out and was in ambush jumped out, and I pulled the reins and beat my horse and ran to the right.

I don't know much about horses, but it's the best horse I can feel in the Scout, and the other is Reggie's mount, and I can't be too bad in Stormwind before.

The dozen or so people who rushed out became the first target of the wolf cavalry's impact, and although we escaped the first wave of impact, the two of us then became the prey of more than forty wolf cavalry chasing.

At this point, I wanted to tell the horse to put on its wings and fly. This fear and eagerness made my hands tremble.

Can't help but tremble, at this time, whoever said that he roared and jumped into the wolf cavalry group to kill all sides was pure fucking fart, he would be instantly thrown to the ground and gnawed and torn apart.

If anyone said that they were not afraid at all at this time, it was a real lack of life when they were children, and they must not have experienced what it was like to be chased by a few dogs when they were young.

At this time, it is not a rush, but a fight...... Killed. At this time, it is to be caught up and immediately shattered.

My waist and legs were now one with my horse, and I drew my bow and arrows and turned around with an arrow, and the fallen wolf rider brought down several men. I twisted around and shot another arrow! When I shot four arrows in a row, the orcs didn't slow down. As soon as I saw them in pursuit, I pulled out my gun.

These guys have seen the power of artillery, but they don't know if they have seen guns. Bending over and twisting to release the gun, I saw Reggie in the only position with me.

I didn't urge my horse again, Reggie's horse quickly overtook me, and I twisted again "Bang!" With a bang, the white smoke from the gun was instantly left behind me. And the bullets from the flames that erupted from the barrel of the gun directly caused an orc to arch headlong to the ground.

The wolves were frightened, and in an instant their speed slowed down, and I jerked my horse's buttocks, and my horse was in pain and sped up again.

The orcs behind us chased after us for a long time, and it was estimated that the wolves were also tired, so we slowly got rid of them. After another two kilometres, Reggie slowed down, and I tilted my head to see that the horse had white foam in its mouth.

Slow down! "Hey! The horses can't stand it! I shouted.

After slowing down slowly, I grabbed the reins and quickly jumped off my horse, I looked at the horse, and I was very worried, I don't know how long it had been galloping, but it was already dark by this time.

"Are you alright?" I looked at Reggie.

"It's fine." He looked at me.

I took a deep breath and held out five fingers to him, "Five days ......"
