The centaurs appeared by the Baishui River on the third day after leaving, only about ten kilometers away from Zhenbei City, and all the people in Zhenbei City and the Centaur tribe combined, the population was only more than 10,000 people, which was about the same number as the number of orc armies, but most of them were civilians with no combat effectiveness.

Suren also officially declared the realm to enter a period of war. All commercial activities were stopped, the city was closed, the port was closed, all kinds of supplies were temporarily requisitioned, and all the caravans could choose to leave or choose to stay together to help the enemy in Zhenbei City.

If they stay, then the caravan guards and the mercenaries they hired will be recruited into the army, and many caravans will turn pale with fear when they learn that the orc army is about to attack here, and they will leave directly with the caravan guards and mercenaries, for these people.

Suren didn't bother it, but recorded their caravan, and in the future, the chamber of commerce would not receive any preferential treatment when they came to Zhenbei City to trade, and specialties such as sugar, rum, dragon tiger, and vodka spirits (potato brewing) would no longer be available to them.

At the same time, the caravans who were willing to stay, Su Lun also wrote down, the guards and mercenaries of these caravans joined the army, and Su Lun would give them more preferential treatment for these people, in this time of crisis, those who were willing to stand with Zhenbei City, no matter what kind of thoughts and purposes they had, but after all, they helped themselves.

Sure enough, as soon as the order was issued, many chambers of commerce directly packed up their luggage and were about to leave, and there was an endless stream of people who left for a while, of course, in addition to these departures, there were also some who were willing to fight, so that the guards and mercenaries could join the army in Zhenbei City.

This battle also allowed Su Lun to see clearly who was a friend, who was a passerby, and who could be trusted at a critical moment.

A fast horse galloped from the northeast and rushed through the gates directly towards the castle of the lords. The figure rolled over and dismounted, and hurried towards the castle.

There was a rush of footsteps in the hallway, and soon the guard's voice sounded outside the door, "My lord, the reconnaissance team is in a hurry." ”

"Come in. ”

The guards came in with a drow elf.

"My lord, Captain Ayton has asked me to come back and report that the orc army has moved towards us. Captain Ayton was still there to keep an eye out. ”

"It's hard work, how far is the orc army still away, and how many people are there?" asked Su Lun, who got up and walked over.

"When I left, the orc army was still two hundred kilometers away from Zhenbei City, and according to their speed, it was now at most one hundred and eighty kilometers away from us, with at least 10,000 people and 5,000 servant troops. One thousand of them were wolf cavalry as the vanguard. Drow said clearly.

"Soldiers are coming to the city!" Su Lun nodded and said.

The scope of the strategic map now only covers the area of his territory, and can only be seen by those orcs entering the territory.

"Go down and rest. Su Lun waved his hand to make them stand back, and then said to the guards, "Order the army to be in combat readiness and ready to fight at any time." ”

"Zhenbei City implements militarized management, and all supplies are distributed!"

"The security forces patrol 24 hours a day to prevent anyone from taking advantage of the opportunity to cause chaos!"

"All markets are closed and subject to curfew, and everyone is not allowed to enter and leave without an order!"

The attendant next to him shouted loudly, "Understood!"

Soon, the entire town of Zhenbei began to operate like a sophisticated instrument.

The battle that was about to start was arguably the most difficult one that Zhenbei City had ever encountered, and an army of tens of thousands of orcs was coming, and Su Lun didn't plan to let them swagger so easily.

If those orc armies were allowed to besiege the city, Zhenbei City dragged down the orc army, and then the centaurs retreated directly, so he was ready to put the battlefield on the Baishui River or the Hongsha River, relying on the river for defense. The tried-and-true tactic of half-crossing is simple, but useful.

As for the last battle, this tactic is really not something that ordinary people can play, and if it is used well, it can naturally inspire the soldiers to fight to the death and then fight to the death with the other party, but if it is not used well, it will really become a place of death, and it is really not something that ordinary people can play if they are put to death and then lived.

Outside the north of the town.

The 2,500 troops of Zhenbei City lined up neatly, Suren took Chrissy, Hathaway, Karina, and Johnson at the front of the line, and Grace and Harrison stayed behind to guard Zhenbei City.

Ayton led the reconnaissance battalion to monitor the movement of the orc army in front, and the centaur army was also assembled, but after a crushing defeat, the centaur tribe gathered all the people who could occupy it, and there were only two thousand people, some of whom were female centaurs.

Two teams of barbarian warriors stood on the left and right, they would be the assault force of Zhenbei City, tearing through each other's defenses at the moment of shutdown, and on the periphery were two teams of half-elven archers, which were Suren's lord's guard.

The low horn sounded, and the flags fluttering high were blown to the sound of hunting. Suren turned over and got on his horse, then tapped the horse's belly, and the big black horse took a few steps forward.

Sonorous!

Su Lun drew his sword, and then looked around: "Soldiers, we have come to this barren land after hardships!"

"Drove out the goblin kobolds, expelled the gnolls, defeated the ogres, killed the trolls, wiped out all the orcs, and then really occupied the land!"

"But today, the orcs are coming again! they want to take over the land, they want to enslave us, they want to kill us. ”

"Now tell me what you're going to do!" Suren roared.

"Fight to the death!"

"Fight to the death!"

"Fight to the death!"

An earth-shattering roar sounded all around, and all the soldiers raised their weapons and roared angrily to the sky, and a high fighting spirit resounded through the sky! The sound spread throughout the four fields, and even the centaur army on the banks of the Baishui River a few kilometers away was slightly in a commotion.

As soon as Suren pulled the reins, the horses stood up, and the army was quiet again.

"Today, an army of more than 10,000 orcs is coming, and we only have 2,500 men, more than four times our number, but I am not afraid at all. ”

"Why?"

"Because if the winner is determined by the number of people, then who can compare to the kobold and the goblin!"

"Soldiers are not very expensive! I, Su Lun, initially led thirty-five barbarians to create a foundation, and I was invincible all the way!"

"Why?"

"Because, as long as I, Su Lun, are still alive, then he will be invincible!" Su Lun roared.

"Invincible!"

"Invincible!"

"Invincible!"

All the soldiers in Zhenbei City roared in unison, and their voices pierced through the clouds and cracked stones, penetrating through the nine skies.

"Let's go!" Su Lun pointed at his long sword and roared angrily, "Let those green-skinned bastards know that attacking here will be the biggest mistake of their lives!"

Neat footsteps sounded, the army slowly marched, eight hundred horsemen guarded the wings, the rest of the soldiers slowly advanced, in the rear of the army, eighty ballista carts placed on a dozen carriages and slowly marched, the army along the Hongsha River all the way to the east.

The location where Su Lun was preparing to stop the orc army was on the bank of the White Water River, after the White Water River flowed eastward through the mines, the water flow slowed down, this was the easiest place to cross the river nearby, and the news passed back through the reconnaissance battalion showed that the direction in which the orc army was advancing was here, and they were less than fifty miles away from here at this time.

On the other side of the river, a large number of orc wolf cavalry roamed around, and they were closely monitoring the movements of Suren's army.

The sun is shining.

Su Lun has already commanded the army to set up camp, and the orc army is very willing to send soldiers to test it, if the city of Zhenbei is defeated, they will directly cross the river, if not, they will set up camp and repair for a day in the battle with the humans.

After knowing that the army of Zhenbei City was encamped again, the orc army did not change direction, but came directly here, and it was obvious that the orcs decided to completely defeat the army of Zhenbei Fort here.

In the eyes of the orcs, this is a very good opportunity, they are not good at attacking cities, if they can annihilate the living force of humans here, then Zhenbei City is basically at their fingertips, so after discovering the human army, instead of avoiding it, they came directly in this direction.

In the afternoon, the camp in the north of the town had been built, the gang leader had begun to bury the pot and cook, and the army was in order, and at this time, a group of orc troops on the other side of the river separated from the army, and they carried a large number of rafts and platoons to the Baishui River.

The reconnaissance battalions that were monitoring the movements of the orcs by the river immediately discovered the movements of the orcs and hurriedly sent the police, and Suren immediately led two teams of spearmen and two teams of archers out of the camp.

A famous orc soldier rushed towards the river with a wooden platoon, these orcs were the same as the ones they had seen before, tall, powerful, hideous-looking, with a pair of long canine teeth in the lower jaw of the mouth, wearing leather armor, and weapons of various kinds, mostly maces and axes, and many orcs holding simple wooden shields made one by one.

These troops were scattered in formation, but a fierce spirit rushed towards them, and if they were more timid, they would probably be frightened to turn around and run. The soldiers behind Su Lun were silent, their eyes fixed on the orcs on the other side of the river, and the archers next to them had already drawn their bows and arrows, as long as Su Lun gave an order, these archers would shoot their arrows out as soon as possible.

"Rush!"

With a roar, the green-skinned orcs rushed to the river, then threw the raft raft into the water, and then several people rushed up.

The space of the raft was limited, and only four or five people could be made on a raft, and these orcs held shields on one side and paddled quickly to the opposite bank on the other.

The course of the Baishui River here is about eighty meters wide, such a short distance, if it is on the ground, those orcs can cross it with just one charge, and now it is on the surface of the river, although the speed has decreased a lot, but it is still fast.

Soon the orcs were in the middle of the river, and Suren waved his hand lightly, and the cold arrows locked them on.

At the same time, the pikemen on the riverside were already in formation.

"Arrows!" By the river, Su Lun looked at the orc army indifferently, waved the long sword in his hand, and the bows and arrows that had been prepared long ago were intensively shooting at the orc army on the river.
