Volume III Kuroshio 77 Afterlife
I really ...... that fight It's one of the few battles I don't really want to remember,
To be honest, I'm not quite sure how I survived. All I can say is luck.
Thank you to the gods for your favor.
It was chaotic, chaotic to ......
It's not the kind where we put in a position in the field, the archers shoot the cavalry, charge the cavalry, the infantry attack, and then the melee. We've had many encounters with orcs in the wild, or we've just done it face-to-face. But I don't seem to remember a battle that frightened me more and made me desperate than that.
Catch a turtle in an urn.
That's exactly how it feels.
The sound of the cannon company, the shattered human body fragments and flesh and blood on their faces, and the people who were not hit by the explosion in an instant could not stand. It is said that magic magic, we as ordinary people have seen the magic of skin. For us, that's magic. Magic more powerful than magic.
It was a mess in an instant. Everyone wanted to run around, but the orc army had already sealed the alley next to it. Fences, shield walls.
People just wanted to get out of the street at this point, and I was pushed aside all at once. At that time, the crowd was holding me, and I couldn't run if I didn't want to.
People can really do anything to live. Rushing to the shield wall of the orcs at the mouth of the alley, it is really a hard top with flesh and blood. At this time, whatever order and what command will you!
I can't hear anything.
I can't see it, isn't this over? I'm really scared that their second shell will be reloaded. Yes...... It's really ringing.
It's not far away, dozens of meters away. But the sound was really...... The thunder was overshadowed in front of this.
I turned my head to look at the back of the line, and there was no one in the middle of the street, and everyone was flashing in both directions.
Or the people I bring out, even if I take them for a day, they can become very good. Someone finally remembered to go to the room. I also hurriedly stepped on someone and tried to climb up, but at this time someone really dragged you down, you know?
I don't know who dragged me, I didn't see it. But someone actually dragged me off the wall. Hum...... Then many people began to scramble to climb up. It took me a lot of effort to climb to the roof. At this time, the rain of arrows of the orcs also fell. The crowd hurriedly shielded them with shields, and countless people fell to the ground with arrows.
At this point, the orcs were still in no hurry to charge. They sealed us with a rain of arrows, and then bombarded us with shelling, not only killing our people, but also directly disintegrating our will to fight.
I didn't pull people when I climbed to the roof, I didn't have that skill.
When the people who saw me climbed onto the roof, I shouted for them to shoot arrows at the artillery positions. As long as their artillery is dumbfounded, I don't think it's a problem to escape.
Hehe, I was really anxious at the time. I drew my bow and arrows in one go, and at this time, the bow in my hand was directly filled by me, and I aimed at the monsters that I hated for life. When I plunged my arrow into a goblin's big face, the guy fell to the ground, and my companions found their target.
Shoot down two goblins in quick succession, and the orcs quickly use the shield wall to protect the goblins who were manipulating the artillery.
I shouted loudly for all the archers to attack the artillery positions, and my voice was probably broken by that shout. The orc's arrows beckoned at us in an instant. Seeing that we couldn't fix this situation, I took out my musket and shot it directly at the head of an orc at the entrance of the alley, and the burst of gunpowder tore apart the screams of the people. Before anyone could react, I pulled out a second shot.
"Rush over!" I shouted at the man at the entrance of the alley. "Hurry up!"
This was followed by a second shot. I don't know if it was because of these two shots, but the alley was broken by the soldiers at once.
It was like water from a canal breaking through a dam. Standing on the rooftop, I became the target of public criticism, but fortunately, the orcs in the alley were armed with melee weapons, and they only roared at me. This is where the bow and arrow come into play.
A few of my brothers shot at the orcs in the crowded alley, and the unsuspecting orcs became meat huddled in the alley, allowing our arrows to go into their heads.
Seeing that the alley was opened, a few of us jumped onto the roof of the house next to it. Don't say it, we on the roof really helped a little. The main thing is that there are too few of us, and there are not enough arrows in the end.
But this has allowed many people to escape the slaughter of the orcs.
The battle was actually lost, and we eventually withdrew from the town, not at all, and the orcs held the town.
And how did we get out...... Anyway, the dozens of people who followed me climbed back the same way. More people fled from where they entered the town, and more people left their lives in the town.
In that battle, a regiment of the Gilnesians was almost completely annihilated. The man, Nandus, had fled the town with a drooping face. And the young officer, named Marduk, began to shake the pot.
In order to compromise their responsibilities, the two of them stood in the united front, and it was the delay of the fighter plane that I just told you, and the early exposure led to the passivity of the battle. But they chattered crookedly, and the commander-in-chief, Kafdan, did not speak. I don't understand him.
I didn't bother to pay attention to them, and I felt that it was a waste of time and feelings to look at them more. The brothers I brought back were around me, and there would be people who would complain about me. Hum...... I don't think it's about currying favor.
Let me tell you, that guy named Coulson is really good at fighting. I noticed him the last time I brought him out, it's gold that always shines, and he's that kind of person. But this guy's mind is limited to fighting.
He's a reckless man, stunned, and rude, but he's a good fighter. This guy was stabbed several times and came back like no one. And my friend Sean, who is a gentle guy. These two people, one irritable and the other mild-mannered, were quite considerate of me.
But that Coulson is a loud voice, and he really dares to say anything that is not pleasing to the eye, and he is a little open-mouthed. He was also the only one who stood up and spoke for me. Coulson is from our kingdom, and he doesn't let them speak at all. At that time, because of this, the guy named Marduk even wanted to compete with him, but I stopped him.
If our attack failed, Lothar's plan could fail, and there was no way to account for it, so the two men came up with a few more brilliant ideas to try to make up for the defeat in this battle with something better.
It's not that I look down on them, more than 3,000 people didn't rush in, and now about a third of them have been removed, and the orcs in the city have a way to let us go and never return.
So they made another plan, which was to burn the ship!
The most fundamental purpose of the orcs to occupy this place is to leave a way out, I don't know if they will have ships to send troops here from the south, but if they fail, this is the best way for them to escape.
But this is not a joke. In the end, Kafdan said that this operation was okay, and that when we burned down their ships and recaptured the port, it would be time for the orcs to fall into total passivity.
Anyone can put this kind of fart, but how to implement it has become a problem for the three of them.
At that time, they discussed several plans, one of which was to lure the orcs out, and then divide and annihilate them. But the idea was immediately opposed, and the orcs would have to be stupid enough to give up their advantage and run out to fight us to the death.
The second plan is to burn Nanhai Town again, so that the orcs will not only have nowhere to hide but also burn some of them, I can hardly imagine that such an idea came out of the head of a general, which is no longer brainless but simply lacking in heart.
In their eyes I was a madman, and it seemed like the greatest respect for me to be able to stand by and listen to them, and of course I knew that, so I only listened to them.
The third option is to stay in this place, whether it is to guard it to the death, or to wait for the rabbit, and to use Kafdan's words, it is called static braking. As long as they ensure that the orcs are cut off, their mission is completed. In fact, this is simply fooling oneself, and whether or not the 2,000-odd people can play a role now depends entirely on whether the battle at the front is smooth or not.
Then, their next strategy was to wreak havoc as much as possible to keep the orcs at bay.
This is also the method unanimously approved by the last three. Then they discussed a coping strategy, that is, they were outside the town as bait and pretended to feint to cover us in, you heard it right, it was me.
I'm going to sneak into the town, wreak havoc in the town, carry out assassinations, make them panic, they don't dare to close their eyes when they sleep at night, the intelligence and sabotage are almost done, they can consider a second attack, try to take the town.
But while Lord Kaftan was talking about this strategy, he suddenly had a whim for me to burn their ships.
It's always surprising to come up with a brainstorm. It's really in vain, that Kafdan's hairline receded to the top of his head at a young age, revealing a huge head.
Ha...... I've thought about this way, but in the end, it's not up to me to say whether it can be done. I remember that the coalition forces had stockpiled explosives at the docks in Nanhai Town, but last time I don't remember that the explosives were still there.
Thinking of this I touched my pocket, and there were not many bullets in my pocket.
I don't know how the two of them wrote their battle report to Lothar, and Lothar didn't ask me about it later. But I don't think it's any better.
This time I didn't bring more people, only eleven people, and it was easy to do things with fewer people.
Alas!
It was no longer safe to dive in from the previous place, so this time we went around in a circle and chose to swim out into the sea. Sean, who thought he was a highland hunter, couldn't swim, but he said that hunters who couldn't swim were the fastest to die. Ha, that's true.
We paddled out to sea on a raft, jumped into the sea not far from the town, and quietly swam to the dock under the cover of night.
At this time, the dock was crowded with boats, but there was not a single torch or light. After sticking it under the boat, I motioned for them to wait for me and I'll go up and have a look. After climbing aboard this ship, I noticed something, last time I remembered that there was only one Kurtilas warship, but now there are three of them parked in front of me!
That is, the orc reinforcements have arrived!
