Chapter 586 Chapter 547: The Fangs of Kaspersky’s Line of Defense

On the city wall to the north of the main fortress, although the heroic General Miro led his personal guards to fight back and forth, just like firefighters, they kept extinguishing one danger after another, but from the formal point of view, it looked like a city wall. However, the defense became more and more difficult, and the human soldiers began to retreat steadily, faintly seeming to be unable to resist. At this time, looking from a distance, dozens of ladders have been erected on this side of the city wall, and then, under the city wall, one after another, iron phalanxes of orcs came up one after another, because the city wall has fallen into a trap. In the midst of the fighting, the defenders couldn't spare their hands to use bows and arrows to restrict the advance of the orc phalanx below the city. The speed of those orc phalanx also accelerated a little.

The formation of orc warriors, the iron-clad phalanx holding their shields high, each has about a thousand orc warriors. From the siege battle in the morning to the present, Besting has invested in a total of more than a dozen phalanxes, more than 10,000 The orc warriors sent wave after wave of attacks on the human city walls. There are fights everywhere on the city wall, screams, wailing, and blood flying everywhere! In front of the orc army in the distance, the white rhino Bastin looked coldly at the city wall, and sneered: "Hmph, do these humans have such a little ability? I heard from the human civilians who were captured by the wolf riders that for the sake of It took a full two years to build this line of defense...it seems like that! It's only been a morning, and they can't resist it, huh!"

Indeed, on the city wall, more and more orc warriors have occupied one climbing point after another, and then several groups, firmly forming one array after another, guarding the climbing point firmly, let There can be more orc warriors who can climb the city wall later! The morale of the human soldiers seemed to have gradually declined. Although they were still resisting, they had gradually retreated unknowingly, which made the orcs occupy more and more space! "That's it? This is the fighting power of the human army? It seems that within today, we will be able to occupy this fortress! I heard that humans have set up three such fortresses in the north... Hmph, that's all."

Besting began to feel complacent. He didn't even invest in the last elite reserve team, he didn't even use the powerful siege equipment built by the dwarves, and he didn't even use the Beamon beast of the orc race. ... Relying on the simplest ladder, it is almost impossible for human beings to resist! At this moment, the orc general couldn't help but look down on the fighting power of humans. It seems that in front of the invincible orc warriors, human beings are really vulnerable! !Orc warriors, in terms of combat power, are indeed far superior to weak races like humans! ...

"My lord, it's almost there." When the defenders on the north wall were retreating steadily, in a tall tower on the east side, a pair of eyes were watching the tragic scene of fighting on the wall coldly through the gap in the wall. Rostock's face was indifferent. Although he was old, the veteran of the empire had a face of resoluteness and courage. On the battlefield, he appeared to be much calmer than those generals behind him. "My lord..." As the commander's son, Luo Yantar was a little more courageous than the others, and he couldn't help but feel a little anxious, and couldn't help urging him in a low voice: "I think it's almost the same, General Miro seems to be a little nervous. "

"Shut up." Rostock frowned and looked back at his son: "General Miro is a brave general in our army. I know him much better than you! He hasn't reached his limit yet!" Looking at his son's eyes, Rostock sighed in his heart, he was still young after all.Although his only son is brave in battle, he is a simple warrior-type boy. In a war, he can only fight and charge. In the future, when he gets old, if his family wants to continue to stand in the army of the empire To gain a firm foothold, one needs enough wisdom—but wisdom is the quality that his son lacks the most.

Feeling soft, Rostock pointed to the fiercely fought city wall in the distance, and decided to call his son back: "See clearly, General Miro is very smart. Although his soldiers seem to be retreating, they are not scattered. They It is a very strategic retreat bit by bit, giving space to the enemy, and trying to attract as many enemies as possible to the wall! Do you understand? It’s not the time yet! Wait! Can you see the bottom? The phalanx of these enemies is still advancing! Let them come a little more! Since we have invested our capital in this battle, we must get the greatest harvest!"

"But... the casualties of the soldiers..." Luo Yantar was a little anxious. "War, there is no immortal!" Rostock gave his son a cold look: "Wait a minute, Milo can hold on for a while!" Time passed by every minute and every second. Seeing that the imperial defenders on the city wall are retreating more and more, almost a small half of the city wall has been occupied by orcs, but the parts along the parapets on both sides are still firmly occupied by the imperial defenders. The orcs above occupied one tower after another, and they frantically smashed the heavy ballistas in the towers. More and more orc warriors crowded on the city wall, trying to attack inside, but the inside of the city wall The female wall is still occupied by the human army, resisting steadily...

More than 2,000 orc warriors crowded on the city wall. Although the fortress's city wall was much wider than other military fortresses in the empire, it was still too narrow for the huge orcs.Crowds of orcs crowded together, only the orcs in the front row could take over from the humans, and the orcs in the back could only scream wildly and squeeze forward.As long as human beings firmly occupy the part of the female wall and form a defensive array, they can still resist the advance of the orcs. As for General Miro, it seemed that after several rounds of fighting back and forth with his brave personal guards, he gradually exhausted his vigor.The brave general who had just won the Imperial Medal had several broken armor, especially the armor on the armguard of his left arm, which was deeply dented, and there was a huge gap. The muscles of the arm Already a blur.

This was left to him by a high-ranking orc warrior he fought just now. The orc warrior's knife slashed on Milo's arm. As a general, Milo's armor is a masterpiece of human craftsmanship. If it were replaced by an ordinary soldier's armor, Milo's arm might be cut off with just one knife.There was also a knife on his thigh, but fortunately it was not serious. At this moment, Milo's face was covered with blood, his arms were numb, and he couldn't remember how many enemies he had killed.The long sword used just now had already been sharpened, but at this moment, he held a mace snatched from an orc warrior and swung it vigorously.

Time passed by, and in that tower, General Rostock's face gradually became serious. Although he still looked very calm, the white knuckles of his fingers, which were clinging to the wall, were also revealed. The nervousness of the old general. Finally, when the generals behind couldn't bear it anymore, Rostock spoke. "Okay! The rabbit is in the nest! Let's get started!" ... In the distance, when the orc general Bastin was complacent, humans launched a lore! First of all, in the trenches under the city that have been mostly filled, the trenches that were originally dug by humans have already buried pipelines hidden in the ground one after another, after Rostock gave the "start" command. The valves of those pipelines have already been opened.The soldiers who controlled the valve in the city desperately unscrewed the opening of the pipe! Soon, under the transportation of the pipeline, in the trenches that seemed to have been filled up one after another, large areas of oil were sprayed from the pipeline! These expensive oils are being secretly poured into those ditches at this moment, quietly and silently soaking the wood that the orcs filled in the ditches, and the things that were originally arranged by humans to start the fire. And at this time, all the orc warriors above and below the city suddenly heard a series of extremely strange voices... Ka Ka Ka Ka Ka Ka Ka... A series of movements that seemed to be the tumbling of a mechanical winch, but it seemed to come from the inside of the city wall!The voice was faint, but it was like thunder. For a while, the voice kept ringing, and the orc warriors were a little at a loss. Under the city wall, one after another orc armored phalanxes are still crowded under the city wall, trying to continue erecting more ladders. But at this moment, the city wall suddenly... moved! ! With the tumbling of the internal mechanical noose, on the outside of the city wall, suddenly on the originally flat wall, stones tumbling, suddenly, rows of huge spikes!With the pull of the noose, it turned out of the wall! The huge and extremely sharp thorns polished one after another, each root is nearly half a meter thick! !It also has some curly blades and barbs on it! The entire city wall, in such a long row about ten meters above the ground, has turned out such huge thorns that are closely connected together! These sharp curly blades and barbs immediately disintegrated the ladders that were still erected against the city wall one by one in an instant! ! Dozens of ladders were quickly destroyed by these giant thorns, and the orc soldiers who were still climbing on them fell from the sky with screams and howls!Some even fell down, hanging on the huge spike, screaming endlessly! All the ladders on the city wall were shattered in almost a moment! And under the city wall, those orc armored phalanxes who were still trying to set up the ladder immediately panicked! Without the ladder, what would happen to those orc warriors crowded under the city wall?Is it possible to bang your head against the city wall?Use your own hands and feet to climb the city wall? ? ? After all the ladders were destroyed, the orc warriors above who had occupied nearly half of the city wall immediately turned into water without a source!They couldn't move forward, because the human soldiers were firmly guarding the parapet of the lower city, they couldn't retreat, and there was no reinforcement behind them to continue to go up, because the ladders had been completely destroyed! ! Seeing such a huge change, the orc general Bastin's eyes, which were still somewhat powerful, suddenly fell into a haze!Its eyelids twitched fiercely, and then it roared suddenly: "Quick! Let the soldiers under the city wall back quickly!!!" It roared with anger and anxiety. However, it was too late! ! Inside the fortress, the human longbowmen lined up again. Under the command of the observers, the longbowmen carried out several rounds of throwing again! However, this time, the target was not the orc warriors, but... those trenches! ! On the long bow is a special rocket whose arrow is wrapped in ignited fuel!Each officer held a torch in his hand, trotted all the way, ran quickly in front of every archer, and ignited the arrow! After waves of bowstring vibrating sounds, dense rockets flew out of the sky!There is a meteor shower in the sky! ! Countless rockets were shot at the trench area. In those trenches, the wood, sacks, and orc corpses that had been quietly soaked in oil... and the burning objects that had been buried below for a long time were instantly destroyed. lit! ! The trenches one after another quickly burst into flames, and the flames staggered and condensed together, almost in a moment, before most of the orc warriors could react, the flames had already spread rapidly. It spread! ! A group of trenches as long as 100 meters deep, in fact, each trench is connected internally!Coupled with the coverage and projection of rockets all over the sky, the trenches turned into walls of fire, and then spread rapidly along the connected parts of the trenches, and immediately turned into a sea of ​​​​fire with a width of 100 meters! ! ! And under the city wall, those orcs who lost their ladders and were crowding in a daze, and the armored phalanx of orcs who were crossing the trench and approaching the city wall, were almost destroyed by the sea of ​​flames in just a few breaths. Swallowed! ! ! One hundred meters! What is the concept of a hundred meters? Even the fastest runner among human beings needs at least ten seconds to run a hundred meters!What's more, most people don't have that kind of speed! Not to mention the orcs!Although the orcs are strong and strong, they are definitely not good at speed!What's more, they are also wearing heavy armor! !It's even harder to run! !more slowly! Needless to say, with the speed of the orcs running, the sea of ​​flames is a full hundred meters away, before you can run out, you have already been burned into a ball of fire! The 100-meter-long sea of ​​flames immediately engulfed the orc warriors one after another in it! Countless orcs roared desperately, pushed, crowded, and fled towards the surroundings with all their strength!It's a pity that there were flames everywhere, which made many orcs panic and couldn't even tell the direction clearly! In the panic, every orc was desperately trying to run back, and every orc was trying to push away the slow-moving companions in front of him to escape.However, the orcs trapped in the sea of ​​fire and unable to escape cannot discern their direction!In the midst of the crowds, get lost in no time! Even most of the orcs who didn't know their direction didn't run backwards at all!Instead, run sideways! The trench position is as wide as 100 meters, so what about the length of the sides?longer! ! From this huge sea of ​​flames, the screams and howls of orcs soared to the sky!Countless orcs were buried in the sea of ​​flames, and one by one, teams of orcs turned into burning fireballs!They are covered with long hair, and they burn more easily than humans!After running for a few steps, most of the orcs collapsed powerlessly, and some of the orcs were choked by the smoke after burning and couldn't breathe! After almost half a minute of sluggishness, Besting finally woke up and issued an order! It sent two phalanxes to rush to fight the fire, trying to pull out the soldiers trapped in the flames.But on the battlefield, where can I find something to put out the fire? What's more, the human archers are still hiding inside the city wall, and under the command of the observers, they shoot round after round! The orcs below the city struggled and screamed in the sea of ​​flames, and the flames shot up into the sky!But the orcs on the city wall seemed to be in shock collectively! Hearing the heart-piercing and tragic howls of countless companions and their kind, the orcs on the city wall became timid!Finally timid! ! At this time, from the towers on both sides of the city wall, teams of new human forces that have already been rectified and fully armed rushed out!These soldiers have been waiting for a long time under Rostock's strict order!At this moment, with an order, these soldiers swarmed out! The leader of the team is the son of General Rostock, the famous Reoenthal in the Storm Legion for his bravery! "Drive these spear monsters off the city wall!!!" Luo Yantar's majestic roar sounded and retreated from the city wall. He pulled out a huge sword, took the lead, and rushed towards the lone orc army that was crowded on the city wall!Behind them are the human soldiers of the brigade! ! The resistance gradually returned from intense to calm! On the city wall, those lone orcs who lost their way of retreat, lost their reinforcements, and couldn't move forward or retreat, after a fierce resistance, finally, but human beings continued to counterattack one after another! ! Countless orcs were killed by humans, and some desperate orcs simply hugged the nearby humans and jumped towards the city wall! After fighting for nearly half an hour, the more than two thousand orc warriors who successfully climbed the city wall in the morning were all wiped out! And under the city wall, the sea of ​​fire burned for a whole day! There are charred corpses of orcs all over the place! Until the flames gradually dissipated, black smoke was still rising from the ground. On the ground, the corpses of orcs who had been burnt so hard that their true colors could not be discerned, one after another, some in disorder, some piled up in a pile, the city wall On top of that, there are many orc corpses hanging on those huge spikes... The orc general Bastin in the distance fell into a terrible silence, his eyes were full of anger, his teeth were gritted, and he was staring at the human city wall! The sound of fighting on the city wall was over, which was enough to tell Besting that its attack had completely failed!Those lone troops on the city wall have been wiped out by humans! Ten armored phalanxes!Out of ten thousand orc warriors, less than three thousand came back! ! In addition to the nearly 6,000 cannon fodder lost to fill up the trench... Today's first battle, I lost more than 13,000 lives! But the human city wall!That tall city wall is covered with thorns that make people feel numb!After being smoky, the outside of the city wall has turned into a black city wall, but it still stands there majestically!Silent, like a cold monster that would swallow the orc's life at any time! ! ... "Victory! We have won!! Father!!" Roenthal excitedly rushed in front of Rostock. This brave young general had blood stains all over his armor and several spots on his body. Only half of the long sword in his hand remained and his helmet fell off. However, General Rostock's expression was not at all relaxed. Looking at his excited son, he said lightly: "We just won a battle, General Rosenthal, now is not the time to be happy." "According to the observation report, these monsters lost at least 10,000 people!" Luo Yantar still couldn't suppress his excitement: "10,000 enemies were injured in one battle, father, this is a big victory!" "The army wants to call me your lord!" Rostock glared at his son. Then he looked at the generals around him, and said slowly in a serious voice: "Everyone! We can't be careless! There are still many, many enemies! Although we won this first battle, many of them were due to luck! For example, the direction of the wind The fire below the city killed many enemies, but it was not the north wind blowing today! Think about it, if the north wind blows today, we who are on the south side and set the fire by ourselves will be Burning down to our own walls!" "What's the matter! We have set up a isolation zone under the city wall and a fire extinguishing device." Luo Yantar laughed loudly: "Speaking of which, the city wall designed by Lord Tulip is really great!" General Rostock nodded: "Let's pass the victory to the imperial capital. Don't forget to write down the merits of Lord Tulip in the military newspaper. Without the design of this city wall, we would never have won so easily... and the one who calculated the climate for us The astrologer of the wind direction, also give him a credit." "Yes!" The clerk and officer beside him hurriedly recorded them one by one. After General Rostock finished speaking, he stood up and looked at the many generals under his command: "We can't relax! Everyone! The fire device in the trench under the city wall is a one-time use! After it is used up this time, it will not be used next time! Moreover, we have very little kerosene, and it is not enough for us to do this again. The enemy is not a fool. They have been fooled once, and it will be so easy next time. Also, our armor-piercing heavy arrows consume too much There are too many! Let the logistics officer rush to mobilize urgently! Send the wounded soldiers down as soon as possible... General Miro's troops fought bravely in this battle and sacrificed a lot, so let his troops temporarily retreat to recuperate... Luo Yanta Er, order your men to go up the wall and replace General Miro's men!" After issuing the orders one by one, the old general's eyes deeply swept over everyone: "Everyone! The enemy's power is beyond our expectations! I believe you have also seen that these monster races have abilities that far exceed ours. Fighting power, and fearless courage! There are still large numbers of their troops outside the city! We must be prepared for a long-term struggle! No one is allowed to relax!" "yes!" Following the commander's order, all the generals of the Storm Legion stood in silence. "Also, in view of the fact that the first battle went well, I, with the authority of the commander-in-chief of the northern theater of the empire, approved the second set of raid operations plan! Execute immediately! Send someone to contact General Andre, now is the time for me to see this What is the combat effectiveness of the so-called air force?" A trace of murderous intent flashed in Rostock's eyes: "Everyone, work hard! Fight the enemy bravely, and I will ask for credit for everyone!" ... Among the orc army, in the largest tent, the braziers were burning all around, casting the face of the orc giant rock in the tent into a gloomy expression. The white rhinoceros general Basting knelt in front of him, with his huge body lying on the ground, his buttocks raised high, his forehead and palms on the ground, facing his leader and pleading guilty. The kneeling posture of the orcs looks ridiculous, especially the white rhino race. When they kneel, their huge buttocks look even weirder. But at this moment, none of the leaders of the orc tribes around dared to laugh. "My lord! Today's battle is my failure, please punish me with my clan's ancient law!" The white rhinoceros Bastin's voice was hoarse. Rock stared at Basting in front of him.Its heart is struggling. Although angry in his heart, after all, as one of the giants of the orcs, he lost 13,000 orc soldiers in this battle, but the enemy's city wall was still intact. A naked defeat made it unacceptable in his heart. But to punish Bastin... Bastin is an excellent warrior of the Rhino Clan!Rock, who is also a rhinoceros, naturally treats his relatives extra favorably!Although the Rhino Clan is the royal family of the Ox Clan and among all the Hoof Clans, the population of the Rhino Clan has always been small.As a king, Shi Yan is even more unwilling to take the loyal lineage he relies on. "Get up." Yan Yan finally spoke, and said something in a low voice. The fair-skinned bull Bastin heaved a sigh of relief. It knew that Wang's anger would not erupt for the time being. "We underestimated the fighting power of humans. It seems that these despicable guys have become more cunning over the past ten thousand years. These guys are not our orc opponents, they will only use these despicable tricks... We must be more careful next time Just do it." There was a heavy voice from the rock, but no one around dared to refute the giant's words. "We only lost once. Besides, our elite ace hasn't been used yet! Those damned dwarves, hurry them up! Let them make those siege machines as soon as possible! They brag about their technology all day long, let them Hurry up and get something real!" The rock growled annoyedly, walked back and forth in the tent for a few steps, and suddenly there was a flash of determination in his eyes: "Let the priests prepare... It seems that to take down the human city wall, we need Behemoths to join the battle! !" As soon as these words came out, most of the orc warriors around showed surprised expressions. Soon, the first opponent was the defeated sinner, Basting! "King!" Bastin knelt down on the ground again, and begged loudly: "King! It's not the time to dispatch Behemoth Behemoth! It's not winter yet, and the fur of the Behemoth hasn't fully grown yet! Moreover, The Behemoth behemoth is dispatched once, controlling and driving the behemoth requires a lot of mana from the priests! Now this is only the first line of defense for the humans we are attacking! There are so many humans, and in their country, I don’t know how many there are The city wall! Didn’t we capture the human beings and torture them out? The human country is a big city! And our Behemoth Behemoths are not many, so we can’t use them like this from the beginning...it should be reserved for the most critical Time to..." As it said that, it raised its head, but suddenly met the cold eyes of the rock, and the white rhinoceros Bastin felt a chill in his heart! It hurriedly shouted: "King! Please give me another chance! Without the behemoth behemoth, I will definitely be able to take down this human city! I will use victory to wash away today's failure!" "Okay, I'll give you a chance. I'll transfer a team of rhinos! There's also a team of priests... Besides, I'll give you two giant monsters to help you fight!!" Rock shouted: "If you can't take this city again , then I will go to battle in person! But you have to know! If the situation is so forced that I, the king, go to battle in person, then it will be a disgrace to our whole family! The first thing I do before I go to battle is to kill you and kill you You all!" Basting made a quick calculation in his mind. The most powerful rhino team of the Niu tribe, and a team of priests... This is a huge boost!And two giant monsters! Although the giant monster is much weaker than the beastman Behemoth Behemoth, but its fighting power is terrifying (that is, the giant beast with a height of several meters in front of the battle, with a huge drum and a six-pointed iron cone hanging on it, this kind of giant monster Strange legend has the blood of Behemoth Behemoth, although the combat power is much lower than the real Behemoth Behemoth, but it is also very scary) As long as he is careful of human tricks, then... it shouldn't be a problem! "Yes! King! I will definitely take this city!" The white rhino Bastin gritted his teeth. "Fight well, don't let that tiger and that wolf see our jokes!" Rock gritted his teeth fiercely.
