Chapter 13: The Battle at the Head of the City
Richard looked around and saw that Ron was also standing at the head of the city, looking nervous and gloomy.
Hayden's squad was a reserve and was under Brown's command, as the walls blocked the view, and Richard couldn't see the specifics.
It didn't take long for hundreds of orcs to rush towards Castle No. 3 in a scattered formation.
The orc army that rushed over had about three squadrons, and the types were relatively chaotic, not only the snake-headed heavy infantry that Richard had seen, but also low-level troops such as kobolds and sheep-headed people, and the leader was a fourth-order minotaur commander.
The four harpies were constantly hovering in the air, apparently trying to swoop down on the city. Combat with ground forces.
"Oops, the orcs are using Fort Three as the focus of their attack! In the first engagement, special troops were strengthened, and more than half of the troops were invested. ”
Richard was shocked and immediately commanded the heralds to ask Diarra for reinforcements.
Squadron Leader Diarra was also quite decisive, immediately believed Richard's judgment and threw in reserves to come to the front line of the city's defense. and sounded the horn for help, asking Captain Sharp for help.
Richard roughly counted them, and found that there were more than twenty orc professionals attacking Fort Three.
Four third-order harpys, six third-order snakes, one fourth-order minotaur, and the remaining dozen or so professional miscellaneous soldiers are all first- and second-order.
If this group of orc professionals was allowed to climb the city wall, the sixth squadron would suffer heavy casualties in a short period of time, and the castle would be lost at hand, and it would be powerless to resist.
Before he had time to think about it, seeing that the orc striker had entered the firing range, Richard immediately opened his bow and shot the first arrow.
Before the battle began, William sent an enchanted bow and arrow.
This enchanted bow and arrow is already at the fourth order.
The bow arm uses the antlers of the third-order Demonic Beast Longhorned Deer and the trunk of the fourth-order Sun God Tree.
The bowstring material is a little worse, and only the tendons of the second-order demonic beasts are used. If it is replaced with high-grade materials, there is still room for improvement in the grade of this bow and arrow.
This bow and arrow is a piece of equipment that William has used for many years, and it is worth more than two hundred gold coins, which is more expensive than the second-order Warcraft War Horse.
The arrow was aimed at the first-order kobold, and the arrow pierced through the air with a sharp sound, instantly piercing the kobold's eye.
There was a lot of commotion on the battlefield, and the kobold didn't have time to react, a scream came, and he suddenly crawled to the ground softly and died on the way to siege the city.
The kobold had just died, and Richard had a dinging in his head.
"Kill a first-order kobold and reward 500 experience."
Richard silently opened the properties panel.

In recent days, Richard has been training hard every day, especially the Breathing Method of the Wild Lion Army, and he has spent a lot of time, even if he is busy, he has not stopped for a day.
His efforts were not in vain, as they were reflected in the attribute panel, where the experience of various skills was increased a bit.
The war was urgent, and after receiving a hint of killing experience, Richard hurriedly closed the attribute panel in his mind and focused on the battlefield.
Richard fired the first arrow, followed by a dozen or so accurate veterans of the Sixth Legion, who shot at the orcs who were at the front.
Veterans who have been in the army for many years, the level of archery is already extraordinary, according to Richard's estimates, many people have very good archery skills, reaching the third level of basic archery. There are a few powerful ones, and archery skills can already be compared to Richard.
A dozen arrows were very accurate, and they knocked down seven or eight enemies in an instant.
Eight heavy arrows were aimed at a first-order sheep-headed man, two of which pierced the lower limbs of the sheep-headed man, four of which hit the torso, and the other two missed.
There are more than a dozen veterans in the sixth squadron, although they have not advanced to the rank of professional, and they have practiced the breathing method for several years, most of them are intermediate apprentices, and their strength exceeds 4 points, which is a little stronger than Hayden.
Most of these people are squad leaders, deputy captains, and serve as junior officers. Several of them joined forces to strike, and they cooperated very tacitly, and immediately killed the sheep body professional. In the chaotic battlefield, low-level professionals are also cannon fodder, just as worthless.
There were casualties and blood, which made the orcs even more eager to attack.
The archers kept stretching their bows and firing a rain of arrows.
Each salvo will take away a dozen orc soldiers, and after three volleys, the orcs have fallen more than thirty miscellaneous soldiers, and the professional has also lost three of them, and two of them are wounded, and their combat effectiveness has been weakened a lot.
After three rounds of arrow rain, the orc army was already fifty meters away from the city wall, and the sheep-headed people and wild boar people picked up the slings and fired stone projectiles at the city.
The stones slammed at them, immediately wounding and killing some of the soldiers, causing a trace of confusion on the city walls.
Even Richard was hit with a stone in the chest, and the sharp pain came, and his body was already black.
Richard endured the pain, his eyes widened, and he stared carefully at the battlefield when he saw that one of the recruits had a weak leg and looked as if he was about to drop his weapon. Richard kicked hard, and there was a fierce glint in his eyes, as if he was eating people.
"Open the bow and shoot the arrow, and don't be weak.
Whoever dares to take a step back, the long sword in my hand does not know him.
If I take a step back from Richard, you can hack me to death.
Today I will stand at the head of the city and kill the orcs with you.
Victory is ours! Honor belongs to the 6th Squadron!
We are invincible, brave and resolute! ”
Richard shouted loudly at the top of the city, and a dozen or so veterans were experienced, knowing that morale could only be boosted at this time. Immediately shouted with Richard, which led to a morale boost for the recruits.
Two more rounds of arrows were fired, killing and wounding more than thirty orcs.
At this moment, the orcs have approached the city, using simple ladders to climb to help.
The Serpent Professional squeezed his companion away, flicked his tail, and leaped towards the wall. At the same time, they opened their mouths and fired venom missiles.
The snake man has a lot of strength, a long tail, and stands upright four or five meters tall. They jumped up, and at once they jumped halfway up to the wall, stretched their arms upwards to hit the wall, and then climbed hard, and half of their bodies climbed to the wall.
The snake man climbed up, and Richard immediately commanded the shield-bearer to raise his shield and block it in front of the venom missile.
Although six venom missiles were received, the splatters of venom still hit eight or nine soldiers.
The venom burned the soldiers' skins, and the walls of the city instantly wailed.
"The wounded soldiers who can walk quickly help their comrades down, and the medical soldiers ask the priest for an antidote to treat the wounded quickly."
Unfazed, Diarra led the veteran backbone to put the putt, trying to push the snake man off the wall.
At the same time, the Hippogriff began to dive downward, shooting a ray of light one after another.
The ray swept over the city, killing five soldiers at once. Even Ron was piggybacked by the rays, his armor was torn, and he fell to the ground, becoming a wounded.
Seeing the Harpy swooping down, Judge Owen was calm and commanded the three best archery soldiers in the squadron to shoot magic crossbow arrows.
Three magic crossbows lit up with blue light, and the crossbow arrows exploded in the air in an instant.
Two Harpies fell from the sky, and the seriously injured third-order Harpies were stabbed to death by the soldiers of the Sixth Squadron.
The squadron magic crossbow is only a second-order enchanted crossbow arrow, and the secret of why it is so powerful lies in the arrow.
This special arrow is called a burst arrow, and the grade has reached the fourth order.
A squadron is only equipped with nine arrows, and if it is consumed, it will be difficult to replenish the wartime state.
Three enchanted crossbow arrows, equipped with nine arrows, are the killer of the infantry squadron of the main legion, hitting the vital point, enough to kill the mid-level professional. More than half of the casualties were killed and wounded in the swooping city, and the remaining two harpys suddenly panicked and did not dare to approach the city, so they could only hover helplessly in the air.
