Chapter 585 Chapter 546 Bloody Battle!

Boom!Boom!Boom!Boom! Heavy drums sounded one after another, and each drum sound seemed to be beating hard on the hearts of the imperial soldiers on the city wall. The drum sound gradually became more rapid, and became like a reminder. The shouts of the orcs became less chaotic, and several black phalanxes let out neat and rhythmic shouts. Roar!Roar!Roar! Standing on the city wall, the soldiers of the empire seemed to be able to clearly see the white gas coming out of the mouths of those monsters, as well as the hideous faces. "Bastin! Show the bravery of our orcs!!" Standing on the high platform of the camp, one of the giants of the orcs, Rhino King Rock roared loudly.

Just off the stage, a giant rhino who was two heads taller than the surrounding orcs roared immediately.This rhinoceros named Bastin is one of the leaders of the cattle tribe who is deeply trusted by the rock. He is a hero and is good at fighting. He is the most powerful leader in training and commanding fighters among the cattle tribe. Different from ordinary bulls, this rhino named Bastin is an extremely rare white rhino among orcs. His rough skin is covered with hard horniness, and even a sharp blade cannot cut into it. skin!What's more, it is still covered with a thick layer of iron armor at the moment, and a huge silver metal ring is worn on the rhinoceros horn at the tip of its nose, which is a sign of noble blood and status among the rhinoceros clan symbol!

And the thick body, in addition to the thick natural skin, it also has more terrifying power than ordinary rhino warriors.Having received the order from the rock, Basting roared, grabbed his weapon—it was a two-meter-long mace full of iron spikes, and ran out in big strides. The battle begins now! Besting is a well-known warrior and commander among the orcs. It ran to the front of the team, raised its right hand high, and roared loudly in a thick voice: "The stone cannon is ready!! Adjust the angle!!" Under the row of catapults outside the camp, the bull warriors immediately got busy and loaded the polished round boulders onto the launcher one by one.Some bull warriors adjusted their angles nervously.

The catapult was pushed forward again for a certain distance, and the wooden wheel underneath was creaked under the weight of the heavy stone. "Pay attention to concealment!!! Catapult attack! Stick to your post! Unrelated people enter the tower!!!" Milo was still standing on the highest point of the city tower. Behind him, on the city wall, a banner with thorns and flowers symbolizing the empire fluttered in the morning wind. Besting saw the fully armored human on the city wall in the distance. That guy stood on the highest point of the tower without any hesitation, and even stepped on the wall.

Basting opened his mouth and let out a grin, then raised his arm high and swung it down fiercely! ! Intensive roars suddenly sounded non-stop from behind it!Catapults ejected boulders one by one towards the human city wall! Dozens of arcs were drawn in the sky, and as one after another heavy stone bombs hit the city wall, there was a roar like landslides and ground cracks! The human Kaspersky room was built extremely solidly. The stone bullets that hit the outside of the city wall could only crack the outer wall of the city wall, and the stone chips burst and scattered in all directions, while the main body of the city wall remained majestic and motionless. .

It's just that some stone bullets fell on the city wall, smashing many human soldiers who were still standing at their posts to pieces!Each of the stone bullets has a diameter of nearly two meters, and has been polished into a round shape by the dwarf's superb craftsmanship. Once it falls on the city wall, it will not only smash the wall Bounce, if it falls on the city wall, it will roll inertially!Amidst the screams, the soldiers on the small city wall couldn't dodge, and were immediately crushed by the rolling boulder, turning into a ball of meat sauce! "Look for cover!!!!" General Miro's majestic voice still echoed from the top of the tower.The main wall of the Kaspersky line of defense left enough designs to deal with enemy catapults when it was built!

The towers at intervals on the city wall became fortifications for the soldiers to avoid, and more and more soldiers crowded into the towers in large numbers. Those towers are built with the strongest monolithic boulders, and they have been fully designed in terms of resistance to attack, and...the ancient heavy siege weapons, such as catapults, are powerful, but they are huge. The disadvantage is that the accurate head is very low! Even the best fighters can hardly control where the stone bullets fall, so they can only use dense coverage to kill the enemy to the greatest extent.It can be said that a weapon such as a catapult is not a competition for technology, but a competition for character.

After a wave of projections from the orc army, hundreds of stone bombs were blasted towards the human fortress!The city walls that burst everywhere seemed to be in a state of distress, with stone chips flying everywhere and screams one after another. However, after the orcs finished this round of projection, although the human city wall seemed to be full of wounds, in fact, the main building did not move at all, and the cracking of some stone chips on the surface did not reduce the defensive ability of the city wall much. It's just that some stone bullets that were thrown into the human fortress crossed the city wall and landed in the city. The huge round stone bullets rolled up after landing, but they caused a little unexpected trouble for human beings.

When the dust gradually dissipated, General Miro still stood proudly on the city wall! Those human soldiers who hid in the tower also rushed out again. For a while, the city wall was crowded with densely packed human soldiers, and it was unknown who picked the head first. The human soldiers began to laugh loudly at the orc army in the distance. Get up, yelling and cursing one after another, as if mocking the other party. "Haha! A monster is a monster!!" "See! The grandpas haven't lost even a single hair!!" "You only throw stones!!" Some soldiers simply lifted their leather armor, turned around, and slapped their own butts fiercely at the orc in the distance, making various actions to humiliate the other party.

The human soldiers on the city wall shouted and laughed almost crazily, which was a way to boost their morale. Although the orcs in the distance didn't understand what the humans were shouting, they were also irritated by the actions of those human soldiers. At this time, Milo, who was standing tall on the city wall, had already issued an order. "Let those savage monsters who can only throw stones taste our strength! Ballista ready!" As his order was conveyed quickly, the elite heavy ballistas equipped by the empire were pushed out from the towers on the city wall. In the stomping mouth of the towers, giant crossbow arrows were like steel thorns. The same protrudes from the city wall.

"Aim at their catapults!" The gunners of the ballista immediately began to adjust the scale on the ballista. These precision heavy weapons made by humans are naturally much more advanced than the primitive catapults.The experienced gunner aimed the ballista at the opponent's catapults behind the phalanx one by one in the distance. After a while, humans launched their powerful counterattack! On the city wall, in the mouth of the tower, dozens of ballistas were fired at the same time, and in the sky, dozens of huge crossbow bolts flew out in agitation!These giant ballistas are launched by the mechanical elasticity of the noose, and the range can reach as far as about 1,500 meters. They were originally sharp weapons on naval warships, and they can easily pierce the enemy's hull from a distance of 1,000 meters!It can be seen how powerful it is! More importantly, these ballistas are much stronger than ancient trebuchets in terms of aim. Under the control of experienced gunners, the aim of ballistas can reach more than 30%, which is better than that of catapults that can only use cover bombardment to pursue lethality. The weapon is naturally stronger, I don't know how many times! Dozens of giant crossbow bolts flew out powerfully, and the metal crossbow arrows reflected in the sunlight and streaked across the sky like dozens of shooting stars! As the humans on the city wall cheered and shouted one after another, they saw the catapults in front of the orc formation in the distance, being hit one by one! Obviously, this time, humans are far better than orcs in fighting for character!On weekdays, the accuracy is only about 30%, but today it is as high as nearly 50%! The huge impact force, when the crossbow arrow hits the opponent's catapult, the powerful force can instantly penetrate several pieces of wood in the opponent's catapult!Then with the roar, the tall catapult suddenly collapsed. In the orc camp, Bastin and many orc soldiers roared angrily, but they were helpless against this long-range human weapon. Looking at the cheering humans on the city wall, Orc General Bastin waved his hands fiercely: "Attack! The front team set out to fill up the enemy's trench!" The drums sounded again, and with a burst of shouting, the first two rows of warriors in the orc queue were holding various things in their hands, including sacks filled with soil, huge stones, or some discarded wood, etc. Amidst the advancing drums, with a roar and a fierce roar, they rushed towards the human city wall! Immediately, Milo's expression darkened on the tower, and he turned around and shouted loudly: "Archers are ready!" "Archers ready!" "Archers prepare!!" In this era of cold weapons without a battlefield communication system, the command of the general can only be conveyed by the shouting of soldiers one by one. Under the inner side of the fortress wall, humans have assembled more than 2,000 archers, and they formed a standard three-row formation. After receiving the order, these elite archers of the Storm Legion immediately took off their long swords with neat movements. bow! Every archer in the human army is ready. Each of them maintains absolute silence, with a firm face. The standard equipment for each archer is a pair of military bows prepared by the Imperial Army and a leather armor. , a dagger at his waist, and fifteen heavy arrows with iron spines. At this moment, five arrows had already been planted on the ground in front of each archer. After hearing the order, the three thousand archers immediately pulled out an iron ridge weight from the ground in front of them with uniform movements. Arrows come. Then, the three thousand imperial archers drew their bows and set their arrows. At this time, the commanding soldiers standing on the city wall who had long observed the position of the archers in the imperial army roared loudly in a thick voice, and there was news of the enemy. "The enemy is approaching!! Eight hundred meters!! The sky is forty degrees! Throwing!!!" hum! ! Three thousand bowstrings trembled at the same time, making a terrible humming sound!Following this sound, countless sharp arrows shot up from the inner side of the fortress wall like flying locusts, rushing towards the sky densely! Those thousands of sharp arrows rushed into the sky in an instant. In a moment, it was like a dark cloud rising into the sky. This dark cloud almost blocked the morning sun! !Then, following the inertia, thousands of sharp arrows fell one after another, like raindrops all over the sky! ! The orc's assault squad is running hard, they are panting, holding heavy sacks, stones, wood, etc. in their hands. But before they could get close to the human trenches, the rain of arrows had already fallen from the sky! Immediately, the dense rain and cloud-like arrow rain accurately covered the heads of the Orc Charge Death Squad!In just one effort, the orcs who rushed to the front fell down like cutting wheat! The sound of 咻咻咻咻 was endless. On the battlefield below the city, the orcs ran one after another, and there were endless screams and angry roars. One by one, the orcs fell down unwillingly. , with thick skin, and even five or six arrows in his body continued to run for more than ten steps before falling down. And some orcs were shot in the ankle and fell to the ground howling like wild animals. Although the orcs have a natural and strong physique, their thick fur and muscles make them have a natural ability to withstand blows when facing bows and arrows.But humans got enough information in the first battle in which 3,000 cavalrymen fought! In the temptation of the cavalry to fight, the cavalry who came back alive brought a full assessment of the combat effectiveness of the orcs, the physical strength of these orcs, and the hardness of their armor. The commander of the human army Immediately ordered to abandon most of the wooden arrows!So today the three thousand elite archers under the city wall are all using expensive but more lethal iron spine heavy arrows! After one round of throwing, nearly one-third of the orc's charge fell down.But the remaining orcs immediately dispersed their formation spontaneously, and continued to rush towards the trench without fear of death. "The enemy is approaching! Six hundred steps!! Throwing!!!" The observers on the city wall issued an order again!The observers who can become archers are selected from the most experienced veterans and archers. They have undergone strict training on observing the distance of the enemy on the battlefield and learning all the ranges of archers.On the observation post, faithfully act as the "eyes" of the archer! ! "The enemy is approaching!! Four hundred steps! Throwing!!" hum! !The bow vibrates the string! ! Sharp arrows were shot one after another, depriving the lives of one orc after another. And after three rounds of throwing, the orc's death squad finally rushed to the edge of the human trench after losing nearly half of it!Even among the living orcs, most of them were injured, and even some of the orcs were shot with arrows, but they missed the vital parts. However, under the instinct of a natural orc clan, even though they were covered in blood, they were still injured. To the edge of the ditch! Sandbags one by one, stones one by one, and piles of wood were thrown into the trench! But the fate waiting for them is still not safe! On the city wall, human archers rushed out of the towers one after another!The bows in the hands of these archers are shorter than the bows in the hands of the longbows behind the city wall, but it is enough to deal with the enemies who have rushed to the trench on the city wall! "Dive down!!" With an order, sharp arrows were shot at those orcs who had completed their missions!One after another, black orc figures fell down, and some of them fell to the ground and survived for a while, but they still let out some roars that humans could not understand. Some orcs even roared fiercely after being hit by an arrow, and simply jumped into the ditch dug by humans!There were long sharp thorns arranged by humans in the trench!The orc's bulky body fell, and was immediately pierced by the protruding long thorn! However, more orcs who were shot by the arrows had no intention of turning around and retreating after dropping the things they had filled the trenches in their hands. Your own corpse, to try to fill the trenches of human beings! ! ! Although it has been a long, long time since human beings have faced such an enemy who defends bravely and fearlessly, under the strict orders of the officers, those archers who have undergone rigorous training still suppressed the shock in their hearts and kept shooting. The sharp arrow in the sky! Just this morning, under the nearly suicidal charge of the orcs, row after row of death squads, with roars, rushed towards Human defense!Using the things in their hands and their own corpses, they desperately filled up the trenches dug by humans! The longbowmen team behind the city wall has already been transferred to the reserve team, and has undergone several rotations!Because even an excellent archer can only shoot about ten arrows with physical strength, and then his arms will become sore and weak, unable to continue shooting. The reserve team is on!shooting! Reserve team removed, home team redesigned! rotation!Rotate again! ! Throughout the morning, even the observers on the city wall shouted hoarsely.Those orcs seemed to ignore their own lives at all, wave after wave of death squads, like ocean waves, beat over again and again! On the battlefield, there were more than 5,000 orc corpses left behind, and the 100-meter-long trench dug by humans had almost been filled under the city wall! ! Facing the almost numb suicide charge of the orcs, even those human officers who have undergone strict training and those warriors who usually pride themselves on their courage can't help being moved! Those orc death squads, in the end, even seemed to inspire their animal nature. The death squads behind even took off their armor and went into battle shirtless, just to run faster after getting rid of the armor! Beast corpses are everywhere on the battlefield! General Miro, who had been standing on the tower, had a dark complexion already! A whole hundred years!Has mankind ever encountered such a powerful enemy? !In hundreds of years of peaceful times, has the human army encountered such a brave and fearless enemy? Compared with these orcs, those prairie cavalry who used to be enemies of the empire immediately seemed nothing! Paid the lives of more than six thousand orc death squads!But only to fill up the trenches!However, the death of thousands of orcs made the orc general Bastin standing in front of the command still maintain a cold and calm look in his eyes.This white rhino noble general simply ignored those casualties! Because those orc death squads are just some criminals and people of humble origin in the orc clan.According to the tradition of the orc tribe, these people were incorporated into death squads. Only by desperately sacrificing and completing tasks can their sins be offset, or after their death, their family members' status in the tribe can be improved! They are standard cannon fodder!It's just cannon fodder! After Basting saw that the originally winding trench with a depth of 100 meters had been mostly filled, it finally gave the order to attack! "The trench is filled! Push up the siege equipment! Soldiers, let's go! I want to take down the human city wall before sunset today! Be the first to climb the wall and upgrade to three levels! The bounty of gold bones is 100 kilograms!" After the general's order was delivered, the phalanx of the orcs in the rear immediately started to move! After the leaders roared one by one, the orc warriors in the phalanx immediately took off the huge iron shields on their backs. The orcs in the front row held their shields in front of them, and the orcs on the left and right held their shields by their sides. , the orc in the middle raised the shield above his head! Soon, one by one, the phalanx slowly squirmed towards the defense line of the city wall! The front, back, left, and right sides, as well as the orc phalanx covered by densely packed shields, are like tortoises hiding in iron shells, slowly approaching the human city wall! ! ! After the first round of throwing by the longbowmen under the human city wall, the dense rain of arrows fell on several phalanxes and hit those dense iron shields, but they could only make a weak sound of ding ding dong dong !Only some unlucky orcs on the edge were accidentally shot at the position where the calf was exposed outside the shield, or some places that were not arranged tightly enough. Bows and arrows got in through the gaps, causing sporadic kills to the orcs.But other than that, there was nothing they could do about the "iron phalanx" approaching the city wall one by one! General Miro, the commander of the city wall, immediately saw the power of the opponent's phalanx. He immediately ordered the longbowmen to stop throwing shots, and the archers on the city wall designed freely, aiming at the opponent's lower legs exposed outside the shield. At the same time, in all the surrounding towers, the ballistas fired at full force! Hey, hey, the arrows are flying non-stop in the air, and there is the sound of the heavy noose when the ballista is fired, and the arrows are shot out one by one. Only this kind of heavy weapon can penetrate the opponent's body. Iron Phalanx.But after all, the power of crossbow arrows lies more in penetrating, rather than covering and killing. Although occasionally a few heavy ballistas hit the opponent's phalanx, the huge penetrating power pulled out by the noose, each crossbow can make those orcs who were shot immediately turn into flesh and tie them into a row! But these phalanxes are clearly the elite among the orcs. As soon as there was a gap in the phalanx, the orcs inside quickly squeezed out and raised their shields to make up for the gap! As for shooting the opponent's calf exposed under the shield... After all, this is too difficult. Not every archer soldier in the empire is a sharpshooter who can penetrate Yang with a hundred steps. The kills against the orc's iron phalanx are still very limited, but at this time, finally, the opponent's phalanx has rushed under the city wall! At this time, amidst the clattering sounds, from the perspective of looking down, those orcs withdrew their shields one after another, and dispersed the iron wall that was originally like a tortoise shell. At this time, the humans on the city wall were surprised to find that, It turned out that under the protection of the outer layer of the iron shield of each phalanx, there were several teams of orcs hiding in each phalanx carrying long ladders! At this time, the archers on the city wall began to shoot down from a nearly vertical distance.And more soldiers carried the stones that had been stored earlier and threw them towards the city! Although the soldiers on the city wall fought back desperately, the ladders were erected one by one! !Those orcs also have the same courage as the previous death squads!After the orc soldiers removed their shields, some of their heads were hit by stones, and some of them were shot by sharp arrows, but as long as they didn't die, they would still use their shoulders to hold them back. Ladder! Soon afterward, more than a dozen ladders were quickly set up on this side of the city wall, and one by one orcs, with blood-red eyes, struggled to climb up... "Fight back with all your strength! Hit them down!! Hit them down!!!" Milo had raised his long sword aloft, giving orders incessantly. The orders one by one were conveyed quickly. The human soldiers slashed at the opponent's ladder with their long swords, trying to cut off or push down the enemy's ladder. The orcs were struggling to climb, but they were suddenly pushed away by humans, and the orcs above fell from mid-air with screams. Moreover, pots of burning hot oil were poured down fiercely. Some orcs who were climbing up the ladder with their heads up were poured on their faces and bodies with hot oil, and they immediately let out a pang. It had a terrible smell like barbecue, and it landed with a call sign, and even smashed down the companions behind it! But everything seems to be unable to shake the desire of those orcs to attack!When the ladder fell down, there would be dozens of orcs below, regardless of the opponent's arrows and stones, and would try their best to lift it up again and push it up! The orcs on the ladder were knocked down, and there will be more orcs below who are still desperate to climb up again! Under the fierce attack of the orcs, some orcs finally managed to climb the city wall. What awaited the orcs were countless sharp swords that had already been prepared on the city wall! The first one, the second one, the third one... One by one, the orcs had just jumped onto the city wall, and they would immediately be torn to pieces by human soldiers with swords, or pierced with more than a dozen bloody holes.But the orc warriors, even if they are desperate, will rush to the dense long swords in front of them!Even with the weight of your own corpse, you still have to try to knock the human defenders away by even a tiny bit of distance!So that when the companion behind him comes up, he can relieve a little pressure! Finally, the human defenders began to suffer casualties! The powerful close-to-hand combat ability of the orc warriors is undoubtedly revealed after climbing the city wall!Especially some high-level warriors among the orcs, after they climbed the city wall, they often faced seven or eight human soldiers attacking at the same time, but they still resisted tenaciously! The mighty strength of the orcs, their weapons, and their superior ability to carry blows.Often a human soldier goes up and stabs the opponent with a sword, but it can't cause fatal damage at all. As long as the opponent turns around, a backhand knife can kill a human! ! This is a huge gap in single combat power! Above the tower, Milo saw a ladder climbing place on the left wall of his city. The human defenders at that place seemed to be gradually unable to resist. Among the orcs, there were a few particularly tall warriors, It was obviously a warrior among the enemies. After rushing up, relying on the city wall with his back, he firmly resisted the surrounding humans, causing more and more orcs on the ladder behind to rush up! Every time an orc rushes up, the pressure on humans will become greater and greater!Because in terms of individual combat effectiveness, even if it is the soldiers of the most elite Stormtroopers in the empire, compared with the combat effectiveness of orc warriors, it takes three human soldiers to deal with one orc warrior! When encountering the senior fighters among the orcs, the human soldiers suffered huge casualties! "Draw the sword!!" General Miro spat out two words fiercely from his mouth!Behind him are his direct soldiers! In the army, those who can serve as the general's personal guards are the most powerful warriors selected from the army!These warriors have a higher level of combat power than ordinary soldiers, and many of them have genuine warrior levels!At this moment, Milo gave an order, and he took the team of elite personal guards behind him, jumped down from the steps of the city tower, and squeezed towards the section of the city wall where there was a crisis! when! ! Milo slashed head-on, and slashed fiercely on the broadsword of an orc warrior. The general's long sword burst out with fighting spirit, and the orc's long knife immediately broke into two pieces, and at the same time, the blade directly cut into the sword. On each other's shoulders! puff!A stream of hot, foul-smelling blood sprayed on Milo's face, but he didn't care. He pulled out his long sword with his backhand, stabbed hard, pierced the orc warrior, kicked over the corpse, and with a roar, rushed towards him. The next Orc! This general with the strength of a mid-level knight is like a tiger like a flock of sheep, and with a group of guards behind him who all have the strength of a warrior, he immediately snatched back the leader of the city that was about to miss! Milo's long sword slashed vigorously across the city wall, splitting an orc off the city wall. With a long roar, the orc fell unwillingly. Miro caught up with him and kicked the opponent's ladder hard , With this kick, he directly kicked the opponent's ladder to pieces!Then he leaned against the city wall, and a light blade in the long sword slashed down, cutting off more than a dozen wooden steps in the middle of the ladder!The ladder was finally dismembered and scattered. Milo's face was covered with blood, and his long hair was sticking together in the blood. There were still pieces of meat hanging on the original bright general's armor. Under the vigorous shouting, the morale of the human defenders was greatly boosted! ! "Kill!! Drive these monsters off the city wall!!!" Under the city wall, one after another, the orcs' phalanxes, like black ants, held their shields high, and hit the human city wall with wave after wave of arrows whizzing non-stop in the air! !
