Chapter 66: The Battle of Fort Vic II
Sophia's mobilization had a very good effect, and the nervous and frightened feelings of the soldiers of the two new squadrons eased a little.
At the same time, the orc brigade began to slowly approach in the direction of Fort Vik.
The Boar Men Captain Shamok was reckless and rude, and without any reconnaissance, he rashly launched an attack on Fort Vic.
And in order to show his bravery, he took the lead in the charge.
Shamok had three squadrons of kobolds play the vanguard, using cannon fodder to consume the defenders' arrows and sasswood.
Himself with two squadrons of boarmen in the center.
The third echelon was the Serpentine Heavy Infantry, followed by two squadrons of Minotaurs.
The wolf-headed men were cavalrymen who protected the orc flanks.
The two sheep-headed squadrons were the weakest in combat and were used as logistics transporters by Shamok.
When there is a severe shortage of food, Shamok will even eat sheep's heads.
The kobolds, led by a professional officer, slowly approached the city wall.
The area of Vikburg is not particularly large, and it is built halfway up the mountain.
On both sides are cliffs tens of meters high, and behind them are hillsides.
If you want to conquer Fort Vik, you can only climb the mountain and attack one way.
Although the climbing trail is not narrow, it can only be used by two squadrons at one time.
Although Sophia commanded the battle for the first time and had little experience, some of the officers under her command had experienced many wars in the Northern Frontier.
Her uncle, Vito, was an old military officer, and although he was only a third-order warrior, he had experienced nine orc invasions.
The experience of war also surpassed that of William.
By identifying the flag, Vito was able to find the orc commander for the first time.
After the orcs lined up, Vito aimed the trebuchet at the two boar man squadrons, preparing to focus on the second echelon of the orcs.
After the kobold came into range of the trebuchet, Vito did not expose the trebuchet, but instead had the archers on the castle draw their bows.
When the kobold was less than a hundred meters away from the castle, Vito passed the military order.
"Archer, release the arrow!"
The archers at the head of the city had already drawn their bows, and when they heard the order, they loosened their strings almost at the same time.
Suddenly, more than 200 arrows were shot down, knocking down several kobolds on the spot.
The archers at the head of the city kept firing arrows, and in a minute they fired five or six rounds.
The closer the kobold got to the walls, the higher the archers' hit rate.
By the time the two kobold squadrons began to climb the city wall, the casualties had exceeded two.
Without urging, the kobolds quickened their pace and climbed the city wall in a sturdy manner.
finally climbed to the city wall, but was stabbed by the spearmen at the head of the city, and fell off the city wall like a rolling gourd, and died one after another.
Several kobold officers gave orders.
"Raise your shield, watch your feet, and defend yourself against arrows.
Concentrate your forces on one place.
Pay attention to protect the wooden ladder from being pushed down and destroyed by humans. ”
Sophia carefully observes the battlefield and immediately launches a magic missile when she spots the kobold commander.
Sophia is already a five-ring magician, and even if she releases a magic missile, it is enough to threaten low-level professionals.
Several magic missiles flew from the top of the city, accurately hitting the two first-order kobolds.
The violent explosion engulfed a small group of kobold warriors, and in an instant, the two first-order kobolds were unprepared and lost their lives on the spot.
The few remaining kobold officers raised their shields and hid themselves among the ordinary kobold soldiers.
As the casualties mounted, the kobold finally couldn't bear it anymore and retreated under the walls.
In the first tentative siege, the kobolds suffered seventy or eighty casualties, and the casualties on the castle were negligible, with only five or six soldiers wounded by stones.
The kobold's temptation made Tshamok think that he had figured out the fortifications of Fort Vic.
Soon he punished a few kobolds who had fled, and then forced the kobolds to attack the city again, only this time two squadrons of boar men were also ready to go into battle.
Shamok also followed two squadrons of boarmen and personally led the siege of the city.
As soon as the two squadrons of boarmen came within range of the counterweight trebuchet, Vito immediately gave the order.
"No. 1 and No. 2 trebuchets fired 200 catties of stone projectiles, with a counterweight of 2,600 catties.
The No. 3, No. 4, No. 5, and No. 6 trebuchets fired 100 catties of stone projectiles with a counterweight of 1,200 catties. ”
As soon as the order was given, the heavy trebuchet was fired, and stone projectiles fell from the sky.
The landing point was almost very close, and it smashed accurately into the boar man formation.
All the boar people who were hit by heavy stone bullets were suddenly reduced to meat cakes.
The stone bullet smashed on the ground and rolled in all directions, injuring more than a dozen people with its powerful kinetic energy.
A stone projectile smashed down on Shamok, a fifth-order warrior who reacted very quickly. Seeing the stone bullets falling from the sky, he jumped up with both feet and dodged the first wave of stone bullets.
Before he could breathe a sigh of relief, another stone bullet slammed into his vicinity.
Two hundred catties directly smashed a third-order wild boar man squadron leader to death, and the powerful kinetic energy rolled towards Shamok.
Shamok kicked hard, and his strong thick legs actually shattered the stone bullet.
However, there was an instant sharp pain in his limbs, and his left leg was broken by a stone bullet at the same time.
Shamok jumped one leg and ran desperately with the squadron of boarmen, taking two rounds of stone bullets to pass this death route.
Shamok endured the pain and was furious to the extreme.
Prepare to slaughter all humans after breaking the city.
Especially the beautiful human girl at the head of the city, little by little, cut off her delicate flesh and flesh, and bit her bones.
Let her watch her body alive, being swallowed into Tshamok's stomach little by little.
Torturing human aristocratic girls makes Shamok very excited every time.
Just as Shamok was secretly fantasizing about breaking through the human castle, a fireball landed from the top of the city, ready to be aimed at Shamok.
Shamok broke his leg, and his reaction and speed were a few points slower than normal.
He was just about to dodge when a fireball had already rained down from the sky and struck Shamok in the chest.
The fireball exploded instantly, and the furious energy killed and injured more than a dozen boar men.
Located at the center of the explosion, Shamok barely survived thanks to his high class level and strong magic resistance.
But this fireball directly hit Shamok hard, leaving him in danger.
The Boar Man and the Fox Man are at odds, and the Fox Mage is not willing to serve the Shadevil Brigade.
Of the entire Tshamok brigade, only one minotaur is a mage and can use healing.
Fortunately, the minotaur mage was relatively close to Shamok, and hurriedly used a spell to heal minor injuries and hang Shamok's life.
The orc brigade was severely damaged, and the besieging orcs were thrown into chaos.
By the time the deputy captain of the Minotaur took over the command, this siege battle had already ended without a hitch.
