The vigorous and vigorous sound of war drums echoed in the wilderness, beating in everyone's hearts. Thousands of orc warriors took heavy steps amidst the sound of the drums, advancing unswervingly towards the castle.
.
Their eyes were widened and they were breathing heavily, their fangs exposed and their faces ferocious. They held crude sticks and other crude weapons in their hands, and they seemed to have flooded the land to the west of the giant rock castle like locusts.
"attack!"
When the orc warriors at the front advanced to a place almost three hundred meters away from the city wall, the commander standing on the city wall shouted sternly and gave the order to attack.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Accompanied by a dense crash, hundreds of heavy crossbows mounted on the city wall were launched in unison, instantly firing hundreds of sharp crossbow arrows, weaving a dense curtain of arrows in the air and covering the enemy.
Phew! Phew! Phew!
Those orc warriors had no time to dodge. They basically had no armor. Although "chiluo"'s body was strong, it could not withstand the powerful crossbow arrows. The arrows immediately penetrated his body and he was nailed to death.
On the ground.
The group of orc warriors who rushed at the front fell to the ground like wheat stubble. The red blood quickly soaked the ground, which was particularly shocking to watch under the moonlight.
However, the dripping blood and the miserable condition of their companions did not scare the orcs behind them. Instead, they completely aroused the violence in their blood. These dirty aliens roared loudly and quickened their pace, stepping on the corpses of their companions to continue.
impact.
What greeted them was a sharp arrow shot by the archers stationed on the city wall!
Although the heavy crossbow is the most powerful and can load three crossbow arrows at a time, reloading requires two people to work together, so the preparation time is relatively long.
During this gap, they were replaced by the long archers of the city guard. These well-trained archers were very good at archery, and could kill at least dozens or hundreds of orcs with a single volley.
However, the number of enemies was too great. They were shot dead and knocked to the ground in batches, and then rushed up in groups, completely ignoring their own casualties and constantly pushing the front line forward.
Such a fighting method made Zhao Xi stunned: "Are they all crazy?"
There were no ladders or sandbags. Even if they could push under the city wall, how could they cross the moat and climb to the city wall more than 20 meters high to fight the city guards?
David next to him said calmly: "They are not crazy, they are just using cannon fodder to consume our arrows. These beasts have such a strong reproductive ability that they can grow up by eating leaves and mud. They don't care about casualties at all!"
So that’s it!
Zhao Xi understood immediately. These orc warriors at the front basically did not have any decent weapons and equipment. They were just used to kill people and consume arrows.
The giant rock castle hangs alone on the outskirts of the Xijiang Province. It is difficult to deliver assistance from the rear. If it is repeatedly consumed by them like this, sooner or later it will run out of ammunition and food!
At this time, a few orcs had already broken through the arrow interception and rushed to the front of the moat.
The moat of the Rock Castle is drawn from the running water of the nearby large river. The river is wide and fluid, and it is definitely not easy to fill it up. Zhao Xi is curious about what these orcs with simple weapons want to do——
You can't just jump into the river to fill the hole yourself, right?
The next moment, he got the answer.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
The crude spear guns were thrown hard at the city wall by the orc warriors. They were very powerful. Although the attack position was very disadvantageous, the weapons thrown were still quite lethal.
"ah!"
Several archers were shot by spears and fell down screaming.
"Take cover!"
The commander roared, and immediately many warriors rushed forward, holding shields to protect the archers.
"The chariot is coming, ready to fight!"
David patted Zhao Xi hard on the shoulder and said, "We must protect ourselves when we go!"
He took the lead and rushed towards the stairs leading to the first city wall, followed by the other soldiers.
When Zhao Xi followed the other party to the first city wall defense line, he saw war equipment like catapults set up by the orcs on the plain not far outside the city.
But what surprised Zhao Xi was that the first batch of guys they threw using catapults were not stone bombs or oil bombs, but fully armed orc warriors!
This kind of siege method really opened Zhao Xi's eyes. He saw hundreds of orc warriors flying in the air and roaring towards the city wall. Some of them hit the wall directly because they were not strong enough and fell into the moat. Others
were shot directly by archers in the air.
However, at least one-third of the orcs successfully landed on the city wall, and they were all unharmed. They waved their maces, battle axes and bolas in their hands and started a melee with the soldiers of the city guard!
Bang!
An orc warrior happened to land only four or five steps away from Zhao Xi. This guy was very lucky to knock over an archer, so he did not suffer any damage.
It shook its head, roared, got up from the ground, and immediately rushed towards the ballista in front.
The two city guard soldiers who were operating the ballista didn't even notice that there was an enemy behind them.
Zhao Xi rushed over without hesitation, swung the long sword in his hand, and slashed hard at the neck of the orc warrior!
These orc warriors who were thrown onto the city wall obviously belonged to an elite force. Although Zhao Xi could not see its level, he was wearing a full set of leather armor, and the battle ax in his hand was not a shoddy one.
It's definitely not easy to mess with.
As soon as Zhao Xi took action, the half-orc warrior noticed it. He suddenly turned around, with a ferocious look in his eyes, and swung his battle ax to face Zhao Xi's long sword.
Clang!
The two weapons collided heavily, and Zhao Xi felt a surge of force. The tiger's mouth holding the sword was so numb that he almost dropped his weapon.
What a powerful force!
Zhao Xi immediately realized that it was absolutely impossible to fight head-on with the opponent, and quickly took two steps back to distance himself.
But the orc warrior didn't intend to let him go, and rushed over with long strides, raising the dark battle ax high again, and slashed at him fiercely.
The stronger the opponent, the calmer Zhao Xi becomes. Although he is only level 2 now and has not mastered a single combat skill, his combat experience and skills have not been lost.
At the moment when the battle ax was about to hit his head, he suddenly leaned forward and rushed forward from the right side of his opponent. Then he stopped urgently, turned around and swung his sword, and the sharp blade cut into the Orc warrior.
The crook of the knee of the right leg suddenly burst out with blood!
-32!
This joint area happened to be unprotected by armor, and the outer skin was relatively weak, so Zhao Xi's long sword cut a deep wound, exposing the bones inside.
"roar!"
The orc warrior who was caught off guard screamed, his right leg bent involuntarily due to the pain, and he lost his balance and fell to the right.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Zhao Xi's second sword came one after another, stabbing it hard in the throat!
-58!
The half-beast warrior who fell to the ground had blood spurting out from his neck, but his vitality was still very strong. He swung his battle ax and swept towards Zhao Xi randomly.
However, at this time, Zhao Xi jumped up, not only avoiding its counterattack, but also jumping onto its chest. The long sword in his hand pierced its left eye with perfect accuracy, instantly piercing the eyeball!
-85!
This blow is more deadly than the previous one!
Bang!
Before Zhao Xi could draw out his sword, the orc warrior's battle ax came back, and the back of the ax hit him heavily on his lower back, sending his entire body flying.
-79!
This blow almost killed Zhao Xi. He fell four to five meters away and could hardly get up again.
But the orc warrior couldn't survive either. Blood gurgled from its pierced eyes. After struggling for a few times, it collapsed to the ground again and soon stopped breathing!
System prompt: Successfully kill the orc warrior (elite), mission experience value +150!
