Chapter 24 The showdown between Wilderness Town and Wolf Cavalry
Yazneg's guess was not wrong. Most of the people in Wilderness Town who currently have fighting power are the guards on the city wall.
But what Yazneg didn't expect was that although these guards accounted for the majority, their combat effectiveness was only at the bottom in Wilderness Town.
After all, in addition to them, Jamila also had a hundred archers holding elven bows, three skin-changers, and then dozens of mounted archers led by Desaivi.
They are the main force left by Allen to guard Wilderness Town.
If the situation is extremely critical, Jamila can still summon a group of militia composed of old, young, women and children.
It's just that they don't have suitable armor, and many of them have not been trained. Apart from a weapon, Jamila can't arrange to give them anything more.
Therefore, unless Wilderness Town is at a critical moment of life and death, Jamila will not let them face the enemy.
They could have made greater contributions elsewhere instead of becoming meaningless cannon fodder to drain the enemy's strength.
At this time, Jamila stood on the wall of the west gate, always watching the movements of the orcs.
She had already ordered her men to sound the alarm, and most of the more than 300 reserve soldiers gathered towards the west gate wall.
The three skin-changers and a hundred and dozens of shooters are also ready for battle.
Kress and Deservi also came to Jamila's side immediately when the alarm sounded.
On the city wall, Jamila looked at the orc troops that were gradually approaching, and estimated the strength of both sides in her mind, silently deducing.
Then she decided in her heart that this wave of attacks was nothing compared to the existing power of Wilderness Town.
What worries her more is that there are still more than half of the Wolf Cavalry who are missing. What are they planning to do?
Then there are the more than 500 human captives. What should she do with them?
At this time, it was Yazneg's deputy Fimbre who was leading the Orc troops towards Wilderness Town.
Although he is not that smart, he still has his own advantages, that is, he is very obedient.
At this time, he had arrived near the west gate of Wilderness Town with more than a thousand mixed troops.
However, Fimbre did not order the infantry to attack the west gate with the urn.
Instead, according to Yazneg's order, he led more than a thousand people towards the southern city wall of Wilderness Town.
But before they left, they quietly left something near the west gate.
With such a long distance, the orcs thought no one would notice it, but Jamila, who was holding a telescope, had a panoramic view of everything.
Yazneg, who was hiding in the forest, also knew that it was impossible to break through two gates in a row with nearly a thousand wastes and more than two hundred wolf cavalry. This was really too difficult for Fimbre.
Yazneg did not expect these people to make a particularly big contribution. In his plan, Fimbre only needed to fulfill his role as a decoy.
With the transfer of these orc troops, most of the guards on the west gate wall also moved towards the south wall under the leadership of Jamila.
The city walls of Wilderness Town are too big. If all the troops are there and nearly 2,000 people guard the four walls, it will still be possible.
But now there are only more than 300 of them, which seems to be a bit stretched to guard a city wall, not to mention that there are still security personnel in other places, so the number is even smaller.
At this time, Yazneg, who was constantly moving in the forest, stared closely at the human guards on the city wall.
When he saw most of the human guards following the orc troops, a smile of successful conspiracy appeared on his ugly face.
But now, it was not the time for him to move. If Yazneg wanted to, the wolf cavalry would attack at full speed, and they would be able to rush outside the west gate of Wilderness Town in less than ten minutes, but he still wanted to wait.
Because there will be other opportunities soon, he wants to see the effect again.
When Fimbre led the orc troops to the southern city wall of Wilderness Town, it was already bright and the temperature had risen slightly under the early morning sun.
Wargs are not affected by sunlight, but half-orcs seem a little listless under the sun. They don't like sunlight and hate it from the bottom of their hearts.
But Fimbre didn't care about this, he himself felt very uncomfortable, and as monsters cultivated by Morgoth to destroy the world, they had no such emotion in their hearts.
Fimbre just stared at the human guards on the city wall, thinking about the mission given to him by Yazneg in his mind.
"Don't rush to attack. Be sure to wait until the human guards are ready before launching an attack."
Fimbre, who was not that smart, didn't know why he did this. In the past, they would make surprise attacks when humans were unprepared and quietly cut their necks in the dark.
He couldn't quite understand Yazneg's orders, but Fimbre was obedient, which was why Yazneg chose him.
At this time, Fimbull felt that humans were almost ready, because there were at least three hundred hunting bows pointed at them on the city wall.
Fimbre no longer hesitated, waving the scimitar in his hand and roaring loudly: "Let these scum attack."
After hearing the order, the wolf cavalry began to wave their whips, forcing the orc infantry and the slaves to carry the ladders and approach the city wall.
After hearing the order, the human slaves were slightly confused, followed by several shrill screams.
Those hungry wargs couldn't wait any longer, and dozens of wargs tore apart the corpses on the ground in full view of everyone.
Seeing this tragic scene, the remaining human slaves did not hesitate or speak. They just stared at the ground with a pair of numb eyes, carried a dozen ladders, and walked slowly towards the south wall with their heads lowered.
go.
The half-orc infantry picked up the weapons in their hands and used their thinner bodies to try their best to hide behind the human slaves and follow them towards the city wall.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! All the human soldiers on the city wall saw this scene, their expressions were extremely angry, they all clenched the hunting bows in their hands, and their eyes were burning.
Staring at the human slaves, or rather at the orcs behind the humans.
Some people looked at their female mayor with worry, worried that she might give them the order to "shoot indiscriminately". These people did not want to shoot their own compatriots.
Jamila, who was standing on the city wall, also saw this scene. She glanced at Fimbre in the distance, then at the unequipped human slaves and the orc infantry hiding behind them, and fell into deep thought.
among.
After much thought, Jamila did not give the order to shoot.
Because she felt that the current situation was not quite right. The less than 500 orc infantry and 500 human slaves without any equipment would never be able to break through the city wall guarded by more than 300 human soldiers.
They couldn't even cause these soldiers much trouble.
After all, they were just some snagas, and their equipment was poorly equipped and they didn't even have decent armor.
In this case, Jamila decided to give those human slaves a chance, as long as they did not take the initiative to climb the ladder.
In addition, Jamila also has another consideration. If those human slaves wash their faces clean, they are likely to be the family members of their soldiers.
She also knew that there must be many soldiers guarding this city wall who were also thinking about this issue.
After all, aren’t the orcs in the Misty Mountains and the human slaves kidnapped all the forest dwellers?
It is very likely that some of these human slaves are the fathers, mothers, brothers, and sisters of these soldiers. She cannot issue orders to shoot these people without any concerns.
Jamila also knew that the wolf cavalry who gave orders must have other conspiracies when he committed such evil acts.
Suddenly, Jamila remembered those things that were deliberately left behind by the orcs at the west gate.
After thinking for a moment, Jamilah whispered a few words to Kress next to him, and then Kress called Desaivi and left.
Yazneg did not see this, nor did he pay attention to the behavior of one or two people. He was waiting for those ladders to build up the city wall.
Once it is built up, the orc infantry will attack along the ladder, and his first step plan is considered a success.
Yes, the idea of letting orcs hide behind human slaves was also Yazneg's idea.
A long time ago, Yazneg learned about the character of the lord here from some humans who were bribed with gold, so he wanted to make a bet, and the result also told him that he was right.
For a moment, the scene of this siege was a bit strange.
The human slaves slowly carried the ladder and approached the city wall with their heads lowered. They did not want to look up and see their compatriots. Some even thought that if they walked slower, they would be shot to death.
The guards on the city wall did not receive the order to shoot, and they were unwilling to take the initiative to shoot. They could only watch the enemy slowly approach the city wall.
Soon, some of the shooters on the city wall lookout had enough angles to see some orcs hiding behind the humans.
Some soldiers with excellent shooting skills began to loudly ask Jamila if they could shoot. Jamila nodded and agreed.
Soon, arrows were continuously shot from the observation tower and flew towards the crowd carrying the ladder.
In a short period of time, it took the lives of more than a dozen orcs.
The nearby human slaves were stunned for a moment, but they still did not raise their heads, but continued to walk forward, but at a slower pace.
The orc infantry hiding behind the humans had begun to panic. Most of them began to adjust their angles and use the simple shields in their hands to cover themselves to avoid being targeted by the shooters on the city wall.
At the same time, they began to beat the human slaves with the backs of their knives and their fists and feet, urging them to speed up their pace.
After all, they are walking very slowly now, and once they are targeted, there is no difference between them and death.
And there were more than a dozen orcs who were extremely frightened, and actually left behind the humans and fled in the opposite direction like crazy. Then in the process of escaping, most of them were nailed to the ground by bows and arrows.
The luckier guys didn't survive even when they escaped to a safe distance.
Fimbre commanded the wolf cavalry and killed them immediately.
Their deaths also warned other orcs who did not escape, letting them know that there was no other way to survive except attacking.
Even the stupid half-orcs already knew that they were on the verge of death.
In order to survive, ferocious expressions appeared on their faces, and many orcs began to roar to encourage themselves and their compatriots.
Soon, the dozen or so ladders, under such circumstances, reached the six-meter-high city wall of Wilderness Town.
For a moment, all the orcs emerged from behind the human slaves, climbed the ladders and attacked the city wall.
The human slaves squatted down on the spot.
Seeing this, Jamila finally breathed a sigh of relief, and then loudly ordered the soldiers to prepare for battle.
She did not give an order to knock down the ladder, she just wanted to see what the wolf cavalry wanted to do.
She even issued an order for all the guards on the city wall to come to support the south wall.
At this time, a fierce battle finally broke out on the south side of the city wall, and a large number of arrows began to fly from the observation deck of the city wall towards the enemies climbing on the ladders.
The orcs who were shot rolled down the ladder one after another, and some even hit other orcs who were also climbing on the ladder during the fall.
But some fearful soldiers could not shoot all the orcs who climbed the ladder.
Soon, the human guards on the city wall came into contact with the orcs who climbed up.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The guards' eyes seemed to be spitting out anger. More than a dozen of them stared at a ladder. Once an orc showed up, they would be chopped down with more than a dozen weapons in an instant.
Go up.
The orc infantry were like crazy, climbing up the ladder quickly, howling and roaring, and threw themselves at the human guards desperately.
They used the weapons in their hands, their dirty teeth and sharp nails to fight against humans. In despair, they had lost most of their sanity.
At this time, during the fight between the human and orc infantry, Yazneg was dispatched, and he also discovered the actions of the guards on the city wall.
He thought he had found the best opportunity, so he led the remaining wolf cavalry and rushed from the forest towards the west gate closest to them.
Most of the half-orcs who can cooperate with wargs in the Misty Mountains are the best of Snaga.
Not only do they need to be well-equipped and have higher morale, but they also need to be relatively smarter, otherwise they will not be able to communicate with the wargs at all.
Yazneg is one of the best. At this time, he used a trick that he thought was very clever.
He sent the five hundred or so cannon fodder to attract the attention of the human guards, while he himself took more than eight hundred wolf cavalry and prepared to attack Wilderness Town from the west gate.
He only wanted to open the gate of this town, so that he could cooperate with the wargs, rush in together, and burn, kill, and loot the town.
Under Yazneg's urging, the wolf cavalry quickly approached the urn at the west gate. At this time, no one could be seen here.
Yazneg commanded more than 800 orcs, and together with him, they quietly reached the bottom of the urn city.
Then a ladder was built up. This wooden city wall was not as high as the brick city wall, only about four meters.
Because the height cannot be connected with the main city wall, when Artiman was designing it, he did not intend to station soldiers on it, so it was just a wall.
The orcs in the Misty Mountains have extremely strong climbing abilities. If he is not wearing armor, Yazneg can climb up with his bare hands. Even if he is wearing armor, his speed on the ladder is very fast.
Soon, his head emerged from the wall, and he quickly observed the surrounding situation, and found that there was no one guarding here. A trace of doubt flashed in his heart, and he felt something was wrong.
Then, his thoughts were interrupted by shouts of death coming from the south.
Yazneg calmed down, quickly slid down from the wall, turned around and opened the gate of the urn city.
Suddenly, hundreds of orcs poured in carrying ladders. They rushed towards the city gate step by step, wanting to repeat this method and open the second city gate.
At this time, dozens of jars were suddenly thrown out from the wall above the city gate and hit the orcs. This was Allen's favorite kerosene. He was never stingy with this kind of material.
Then, hundreds of rockets were shot out from the city gate, and the flames that rose instantly ignited large areas of orcs, and then a large number of arrows began to pour towards the orcs who entered the barbican city.
It turned out that Kress and Deserve, who had already received the order, had been waiting for them here for a long time with their hundreds and dozens of archers.
Even the people who were originally on guard here were deliberately called away by Jamila, just to see what these orcs wanted to do.
Now, they are waiting.
Under the arrangement of a few of them, there was an extremely tragic scene in the urn city at Ximen.
Large swaths of flames were burning. After being ignited, many orcs made various crazy moves, rolling on the ground, using weapons to cut off their burning limbs, and some even went crazy towards them while burning.
Escape from the gate.
But that's where the archers focused their attention, and they didn't shoot those guys tortured by the flames.
But as long as someone tries to get close to the gate, their arrows will cover it and kill any enemy who tries to escape.
Soon, a pile of corpses composed of orcs was formed at the entrance of Wengcheng.
Lucky Yazneg, brave Yazneg, because he rushed at the front, and when the oil tank crashed down, he was almost near the gate, so he and a dozen of his men who rushed in front were not caught.
The oil tank was hit.
At this time, they were slashing and killing the ignited orcs with panic on their faces. He didn't want the flames to come over, and he didn't want to be burned to death.
Slowly, in Yazneg's horrified eyes, the flames in the urn city subsided, and all the orcs who followed him into the urn city stopped making any movement.
He regrets extremely now, why can't he leave here with the Wolf Cavalry? Even if the confrontation continues, such a tragic situation will not happen.
He could only look at his mount, the leader of the wargs, from the gate, hoping that they would rush in and save him.
To his disappointment, the wargs didn't move at all, and just looked at him and his men so coldly.
Then, the door behind him slowly opened, and out of the wide door came three huge black bears.
Yazneg turned his head in horror. For a moment, he felt the world spinning, and then his vision went black. His body was thrown out directly by Beorn's son Grim.
Grim, who killed Yazneg, roared angrily at the warg outside the gate.
"Ouch~woo"
Amidst this earth-shattering cry, the wargs outside the west gate ran in panic toward the Misty Mountains, not even paying attention to the small group of orcs who had not entered the Wengcheng.
Kress, who was following the three skin-changers, walked out in a hurry, jumping around to avoid the corpses on the ground, and with Grim's help, closed the gate of Wengcheng again.
At this time, the battle on the southern city wall had also ended. As the black smoke at the west gate escalated, Fimbull knew that Yazneg's plan had failed. He also led the remaining wolf cavalry and ran towards the Misty Mountains.
Already.
Only about five hundred of the weakest Snaga were left. After the wolf cavalry left, the surviving orcs also ran along the ladder one after another.
Jamila did not arrange for anyone to pursue her because it was not necessary and she had other tasks to deal with.
In the fight, humans also lost dozens of soldiers, but Wilderness Town had a complete hospital, so the losses were only a little bit.
Next, Jamila began to arrange personnel to clean up the battlefield, and at the same time, she took in the more than 500 slaves abandoned by the orcs.
Of course, there are people to do these tasks, and Jamila on the city wall was thinking about today's battle and looking in the direction of Gushan.
