Chapter 25: The Cruel War

With the rumbling sound of war drums, thousands of orcs poured out of the military camp and slowly pressed towards the former military city.

The black clouds crushed the city and wanted to destroy it, and the dense orcs, hideous faces, and rolling murderous aura made the soldiers at the head of the city breathless.

The sound of war drums sounded at the head of the city at the same time, and the war drums ringing in the ears made the blood of the soldiers at the head of the city boil, and the previous oppression was swept away.

With a creaking sound, the bowstrings of the siege crossbows have been full, the levers of the catapults have been pulled down, and the sharp stones have been loaded into leather pockets.

The orcs got closer and closer, and when the commander gave the order, countless crossbow arrows and boulders would be smashed into the orc army, making them pay the price of thousands of dead and wounded before they approached the city wall.

But just as the orc army was about to enter the range of siege crossbows and catapults, the orc troops suddenly stopped.

The front row of orc troops was divided to the left and right, and countless Terran people were pushed out of the orc formation, and were forced by the orcs to walk in the front of the military formation with knives and guns.

After nearly a month of sweeping and looting, the orcs not only harvested a large amount of food and supplies, but also captured many ordinary people of the human race, and now they are being taken to the battlefield as cannon fodder.

The Terran soldiers on the city had blood-red eyes, and the sword that the commander had raised could not be lowered for a long time.

Although the war is ruthless, the soldiers are all flesh and blood men, how can they be so ruthless that they will smash crossbow arrows and boulders on their innocent people.

The orcs kept the Terran captives close to the city wall, and the hideous faces of the orcs had gradually become clear.

"Crossbow arm raised, let go of the orcs in the front row, release!" the commander's sword finally fell.

Huge rocks rained down on the orc troops.

The two races had been at war for many years, and the orcs had long been familiar with the battle of the human race, and the orcs immediately raised pieces of shields in the orc array.

The stones smashed against the shield with a thumping sound, and many huge stones could even knock over the shield, killing and injuring the orcs below.

Long crossbow arrows from siege crossbows pierced through shields with a whistling sound, and a single arrow pierced two or three orcs through sugar gourds.

The attack of the Blizzard Legion deliberately allowed the people in the front row and the nearby orcs to cause a small amount of casualties to the orc army, but it could not prevent the orc army from quickly approaching the city wall.

Above the castle tower, a middle-aged general held the long sword at his waist, looking at the approaching orc army array and frowning.

"Order, open the gates, let the people into the city!"

"Commander, think twice! As soon as the city gate opens, the orcs will swarm in!" the three men behind the general hurriedly dissuaded at the same time.

"Isn't there still an urn city when the city gate is opened? we are fighting with the orcs in the urn city, it is better than watching these people die under the city wall, can we save one of them!" the middle-aged general sighed deeply.

The sound of squeaking sounded one after another, and the three heavy gates of the former military city slowly rose up.

It was not only a city gate that slowly rose, but also the renewed hope of thousands of Terran people. The people, who had been forced to walk by the orcs, all ran and ran towards the rising gate.

The orc army charged faster at the same time, and this was the opportunity they were waiting for.

"Archers come forward!" With the sound of the command, a dense crowd of Terran archers emerged from behind the battlements.

"Sixty-five degrees ahead, throw!"

At the sound of an order, ten thousand arrows were fired in unison, and the arrows rained down, and the place where the arrows fell was the junction between the orc army formation and the people of the human race. Many of the orcs who followed closely behind the people fell to the ground.

The strategic intent of the Terran archers is very clear, which is to use a dense rain of arrows to draw a death belt behind the Terran people, creating an opportunity for the people to run smoothly into the city.

The orcs were also prepared for this, and quickly rushed out of the army formation with a group of wild boar people holding shields. These guys themselves have rough skin and thick flesh, as long as they don't shoot in a fatal place, they won't be killed by seven or eight arrows, plus the cover of the shield, a few forward rushes caught up with the Terran people again.

"Shoot with precision and attack the lower limbs of the orcs. ”

The Terran archers immediately switched their projectile shots to point shots, specifically aiming at the thighs of the orcs who were catching up, and the protection here was also the weakest, not for killing, but only to delay the pursuit speed of the orcs.

After several rounds of fighting between the warriors of the human and animal races, the fastest Terran people had already run in front of the city gate, and as long as they rushed through the gate, they could regain their lives and freedom.

People rushed into the gates with shoving and shouting.

The orc army changed again, and a group of cavalry rushed out of the orc formation, and almost in the blink of an eye, they rushed through the death belt laid by the Terran archers, and rushed into the ranks of the Terran people.

Leopard cavalry!

The orcs actually secretly hid a group of leopard cavalry in the military formation. The cavalry of the Leopard People was smaller, far less tall and ferocious than the most common wolf cavalry among the orcs. But the scarce leopard cavalry is a terrifying force among the orcs, not only extremely fast, but also extremely powerful, a leopard cavalry can single out two or three wolf cavalry.

Because of the onslaught of the leopard cavalry, the Terran people became even more confused, pushing each other and rushing towards the city gate, and even many wild boar people who rushed through the archer blockade also rushed into the Terran ranks.

Eventually, more and more orcs and Terrans mixed together and rushed into the city gates.

Looking at the chaotic scene under the city, several generals eagerly suggested: "Commander, close the city gate, any later orcs will all rush in!"

"Close the gates. The middle-aged commander gave the order with his eyes closed.

The gate fell with a bang, and a small half of the people who didn't have time to enter the city and the orcs who rushed up after them were separated from the city gate.

One step away, between life and death, people wept and slammed the city gates.

Taking advantage of this wave of offensive, the orc army has rushed under the city walls.

The snake archers who poured out of the army began to shoot at each other with the Terran archers on the city walls, and the whizzing arrows flew all over the sky, both the orcs who kept falling to the ground, and the Terran soldiers who were planted from the city from time to time.

The orcs had already put the ladder and flying claws on the city wall, and they swarmed to climb the wall and began to attack the city.

The Terran soldiers on the city walls smashed down the rolling wood and stones that had been prepared, and poured hot oil on them.

A tragic offensive and defensive battle began.

Inside the city gate, hundreds of orc cavalry and Terran people mixed together and rushed into the urn city.

After rushing into the urn city, the orcs rushed straight to the city stairs on both sides, as long as they rushed up the city wall, causing a small section of the city wall chaos, the orc troops outside the city could take advantage of this opportunity to send the follow-up orc warriors in a steady stream.

The Terran army had already taken precautions against this, and when the orcs poured into the city gates, the Terran spearmen began to rush down from the city walls, and the two sides collided head-on on the city stairs.

Like the battle outside the city, it was a tragic battle of life and death.

By the time the last orc in the city fell, the stairs were already full of corpses, and the corpses of orcs and Terran soldiers were piled together.

Because there has been no movement in the city, the orc troops outside the city that have been unable to attack for a long time slowly retreated.

In this chaotic battle, only a few hundred civilians survived in the end, and the Wind and Snow Legion paid the price of nearly a thousand soldiers.

This is the first day of battle, and the war is still going on......
