Chapter Twenty-Nine: Offensive and Defensive Battle (II) Andy's Hole Cards
The second siege of the orcs began, this time the orc commander Angela made some changes, the siege formation changed from dense to relatively loose, especially the axe man stood more scattered, and Angela also ordered them to dodge the magic attack as much as possible, after all, although the speed of the big fireball is fast, there is always some time to escape from the fly out of Angelina's hand to hit the target, and it is lucky to run away, and it is unlucky to be blown up if you can't run away, and it is bad luck to be blown up.
"Roar!" the golem was summoned by Andy again to break through the ground, crouching down and waving his large arms, each swing of which several or a dozen orcs were knocked flying, either killed on the spot or not a single bone in the body was intact.
"Celtic, Babur. Angela, who came to the front line of the siege and personally served the soldiers, nodded to the two orcs beside him, and the two orcs in metal heavy armor and holding a big scimitar strode towards the stone giant after receiving the order, and when they got closer, a strong cyan fighting aura emerged from the bodies of the two of them, and they accelerated, each holding a scimitar to dodge the palm of the stone giant's wave, and the knife fell in his hand, and the two scimitars cut off the stone giant's stubby legs from the knee position.
"Bang!" the stone giant, who had lost his legs, fell forward, and after the two of them successfully attacked, they each slashed out a fighting qi slash from different directions, dividing the stone giant into four pieces, completely solving this huge obstacle.
"It's amazing!" His own stone giant was easily killed, a bit beyond Andy's expectations, but he didn't care, with the magic power in his body, another stone giant rose from the ground, and at the same time, a blood-red stone giant also appeared on the battlefield, Andy waved his hands again, and a large blood-red raindrop appeared on the heads of Celt and Babur out of thin air, and quickly sank into their bodies and the nearby orc soldiers.
"Cursed magic?!" Celt and Babur, who felt the decline in their combat power, were shocked and immediately pulled back and retreated.
"Hmph! Purify the Totem!" The totem pole in Angela's hand, who was supervising the battle behind, turned lightly, and a totem pole made of energy fell from the sky to the vicinity of the Celtic two, and a ring-shaped energy totem pole was emitted, covering all the orcs within a radius of twenty meters, neutralizing the negative magic effects on their bodies, including Celt and Babur.
Since Angela made a move, she simply didn't do anything, and threw more than a dozen totems and healing totems in a row as if she didn't want money, covering most of the attacking orc team, and she sat on the chair prepared for her with sweat and sweat, which consumed most of her magic power.
"Orcs have shamans!"
Just as humans have mages and priests, shamans are also the backbone of the orcs, they are both mages and priests, and they are totem pole spell buffs, curses, attacks, healing, and everything can be called omnipotent, and they are the most powerful opponents of human mages and priests.
Although the human soldiers were surprised that there were shamans on the other side, they were not afraid to think that there were also magicians and priests on their side.
Avril, who had not fully recovered after a day's rest, saw that the shamans of the orcs had appeared, and forcibly released a large-scale divine grace again, and then sat on the ground weakly and was sent down by her companion Kelly.
The two Golems summoned by Andy were cut down by the Celts again, and before the Celts could celebrate, Andy summoned two more Golems with his magic for the third time, and they were so angry that they had to raise their scimitars again to clear the obstacles for the ordinary soldiers.
Without the interference of the stone giants and the blessing of the totem poles, the attack of the orcs became more and more fierce, and these green-skinned soldiers climbed the ladder step by step against the rain of arrows and fallen stones from the city wall, and finally jumped onto the city wall to fight with the human soldiers.
The most brutal hand-to-hand combat began, without counting the fighting spirit, the combat power of orc soldiers is generally about twice as high as that of human soldiers, and the casualties on the human side of hand-to-hand combat have risen sharply at the beginning of hand-to-hand combat, and one after another orc soldiers are concentrated in the broken section and ascend the city wall from there, and the green on the city wall slowly grows from a small dot and then develops to both sides.
"Great! Attack!" Angela happily stood up from her chair, but she immediately realized the problem, because there was a breakthrough, and the soldiers who were originally relatively scattered were now thinking about the breakthrough, and this was the time when the other party cast a powerful magic, and sure enough, a series of explosions occurred in the dense soldiers.
"Boom, boom, boom......!"
"Hmph...... Young master, what I'm waiting for is now. Andy's attack magic finally shot, and the violent explosion on and under the city wall blew up two big gaps in the dense orc soldiers, and the orc soldiers who had already boarded the city wall immediately died more than half, and the rest were also half dead, only some of the orc soldiers farthest away from the explosion were not affected, and not only were a lot of orc soldiers killed under the city wall, but also several cloud ladders were blown up, so that the orcs could not continue to break through from here, and the remaining orc soldiers on the city wall were isolated and quickly killed, and the human soldiers regained control of this piece of the city wallγ
"Retreat!" Angela looked viciously at the culprit on the city wall, eager to drag Andy down from it and chop it into a mashed meat to feed the pigs.
The second siege of the Orcs failed again.
Angela returned to her warm tent, untied her cloak, sat on the soft fur chaise longue, and quietly thought about how to break the city, because she had to take Carrington City within three days and then withdraw, otherwise the 30,000 human army that had been deceived would be driven back, and she would not be able to leave when she wanted.
I didn't expect that there was such a powerful magician in Carrington City, and the magic used was not only unprecedented, but also powerful, and the casting speed was even faster and more terrifying.
"Call Kerbal. Angela sat on the bed, her big beautiful eyes turning around to come up with a great idea.
A handmaiden took the order, and it wasn't long before Kambala, the leader of the wolf cavalry, entered Angela's tent.
"Your Excellency. Kambala bowed his head respectfully and waited for the order.
"Tonight...... You do this, that, that, understand?"
"Yes! Men understood!" replied Kambhala excitedly.
"Very well, go down and prepare. β
"Yes!"
"Hmph, whether we can take Carrington or not depends on tonight. Angela relaxed her body and fell on the bed, she was indeed tired after releasing so many totem poles in a row today, for tonight's plan, she now needs to take a good rest to recuperate, and it didn't take long for her to let out a slight snoring sound and fall asleep.
At four o'clock in the morning, the orc army quietly went out of the camp and touched the vicinity of the section of the city wall that had been fighting fiercely for two days, the orc soldiers were lying on the snow, biting the scimitar in their mouths, and slowly crawled towards the city wall, the city wall was burning with a large number of torches, and the human soldiers were patrolling on it, but they did not find the orcs below.
"Quick, quick. A small group of orc soldiers first arrived under the city wall, and the team leader ordered his men to immediately erect the ladder they carried, and when the ladder was set up, the team leader stepped on the ladder and climbed towards the city wall, and a human soldier who was patrolling seemed to hear something, and came to the edge of the city wall and poked his head out with a torch to look down.
"Enemy attack!ah......hh
"Phew...... Wow...... Woo ......!"
"The orcs have attacked!
"Kill!"
Now that the orc army that had been spotted sneaking up on the attack no longer hiding, they raised their torches and began to attack.
The orc squad that first climbed the city wall was dead, but more orcs climbed the city wall and attacked both sides, and the human movement was also very fast, the soldiers and officers were sleeping in their clothes, and the weapons were at hand, and when they heard the alarm bell, they grabbed their weapons and rushed to the part of the city wall where the accident occurred.
The sneak attack of the orcs was contained, and more and more human soldiers rushed to join the battle, and Andy, Avril and others arrived from the City Lord's Mansion on horseback.
Andy saw that the situation was not good, and immediately showed his own tricks, the corpses exploded, and the corpses of the orc soldiers who fell on the city wall continued to explode, killing and injuring his compatriots before they died, and when Andy and the others ran to the city wall, there was no orc soldier.
Once again, the two stone giants crawled out of the ground, blocking the way for the orcs to attack the city walls, and the battle seemed to continue to favor the humans.
At the east gate of Carrington City, a human soldier couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva when he looked at the West Gate where the battle was in full swing, and said to a soldier beside him: "Fortunately, we were not sent to the West Gate to guard the city, otherwise we would probably not survive to dawn." β
"Hehe, yes, it's all our centurion lottery draw. The other soldier said with a smile.
An officer walked behind them, and one of them knocked on their heads and scolded: "You two give me a serious attitude, if something happens, it will be your life!"
"Hey...... Captain, don't be so angry, the orcs are all at Simon's, what can happen here?" said a soldier with a hippie smile.
"Whoosh......!" As soon as he finished speaking, a long arrow struck the soldier who spoke.
Thousands of torches outside the city suddenly lit up, and in the dark night, I don't know how many enemies were approaching.
"Enemy attack!"
An army of orcs suddenly appeared near the three gates in the southeast and north of Carrington City, and shouts of killing kept coming from these three gates.
"What's going on, why are there orcs at the three gates in the north, south, south, and south?" shouted the city defense chief in surprise.
"Oops, fooled! This is a feint, two of the three gates are probably also feints, and only one is the real attack!" Andy understood Angela's plan after a little thought, but knowing that it was one thing to plan a plan, it was very troublesome to really want to thwart this attack.
There are only 3,000 defenders in Carrington City, although some young men were gathered later, but the total number of people did not exceed 5,000, and more than 1,000 were killed and wounded in two days of fierce fighting, and now there are only about 3,000 people who can fight, most of them are concentrated here at the West Gate, and only a hundred people are left in the remaining three city gates, if the orcs really want to attack somewhere, they will not be able to defend it.
There were 500 wolf cavalry outside the north and south gates, some of them moving around with several torches, and the rest of them used their short bows to shoot at the human soldiers on the city walls, making a siege appearance.
The real target of the attack was the east gate, and 2,500 wolf cavalry stepped off their mounts and ran briskly towards the city wall with siege ladders.
"What now?" the city defense chief, who had no choice but to turn to Andy, who seemed to be omnipotent, beside him, had no choice but to turn to him.
Andy gritted his teeth, turned his head to the city defense chief and said in a deep voice: "This place is handed over to me and my companions, and you immediately take all the people to support the three gates of the southeast, north and south." β
"Everyone, not a single one?" asked the city commander in surprise.
"Yes, leave no one behind, my companions and I have a way to resist the orc attack, go and take it!"
"Okay, adjutant, inform the centurion ...... at once. The city defense chief took a deep look at Andy, gave him a trusting look, and then decisively gave an order while walking, and soon all the soldiers on this section of the city wall were withdrawn, leaving only Andy and Avril and other six people.
Angelina walked up to Andy's side and said worriedly, "Andy, do you really want to do this?
Andy pretended to smile lightly: "Don't be afraid, there are no outsiders here who are not afraid to be seen, as for what the orcs say, who will believe it?"
"Since you've made up your mind, go for it, and I'll definitely support you. β
"Me too. β
"Me too. β
Angelina, Avril, Daisy, Kelly, and Thea join him in supporting his decision to cheer him on.
"Hahaha...... I, Andy, can get the support of you confidants, even if I am misunderstood by the people of the whole continent, I am not afraid!" He stood under the city wall and shouted to the orcs below, "Greenskins, let me show you the true strength of Young Master Ben tonight!"
Andy suddenly appeared in his hand a transparent glass bottle containing a blue potion, he opened the cap of the bottle and drank it all in one gulp, and then connected the dots with his hands to the city.
The orc soldiers who saw his movements thought that he had once again released the magic that could make the corpse explode, and they all moved away from the corpse on the ground, but the explosion did not happen, and while they were still wondering, the corpse on the ground turned into a mass of flesh and blood, and more than twenty skeletons with sabers and shields and helmets appeared from the corpse and slashed at the nearby orcs with the sabers in their hands.
Fireballs, ice bullets, poison bombs, and lightning bolts were sent out from the hands of more than twenty other skeletons, each spell taking the life of an orc.
These forty or so skeletons were so strong, coupled with the explosion of the corpses of the two stone giants and Andy, he alone actually defeated more than 4,000 orcs.
"He's actually a necromancer?!" Angela, who was commanding in the back, stood up in surprise.
"I see, I said how come those magic are so familiar, it turns out that he is a necromancer of Diablo II. A charming smile appeared at the corner of Ouyang Yu's mouth in the house: "Hehe, I feel more and more fun." β
