Richard looked around and found Ron standing on the top of the city, looking nervous and gloomy.
The Hayden team is a reserve team, under the command of Brown. Because the city wall blocks the view, Richard cannot see the specific situation.
Not long after, hundreds of orcs rushed toward Castle No. 3 in a scattered formation.
There were about three squadrons of the orc army that rushed over, and the types were quite mixed. There were not only the snake-like heavy infantry that Richard had seen, but also low-level units such as kobolds and satyrs. The leader was a fourth-level tauren commander.
.
The four harpies were constantly hovering in the air, apparently wanting to swoop down on the city to cooperate with the ground troops.
"Oops, the orcs actually used Fortress No. 3 as the focus of their attack! For the first time in the battle, they actually strengthened their special units and invested more than half of their troops."
Richard was shocked and immediately ordered the messengers to ask for reinforcements from Diarra.
Squadron Leader Diarra was also very decisive. He immediately believed in Richard's judgment and sent the reserve team to the front line of city defense. He also blew the horn for help and asked Captain Sharp for help.
Richard roughly counted and found that there were more than twenty orc professionals attacking the No. 3 fortress.
There are four third-level harpies, six third-level snakes, one fourth-level tauren, and the remaining dozen or so professional soldiers are all first and second levels.
If this group of orc professionals were allowed to climb the city wall, the Sixth Squadron would suffer heavy casualties in a short period of time, and the castle would be lost so close that they would be unable to resist it.
Before he could think too much, when he saw the orc forward entering the shooting range, Richard immediately drew his bow and nocked an arrow, and shot the first arrow.
Before the war began, William sent enchanted bows and arrows.
This enchanted bow is at level four.
The bow arm uses the antlers of the third-level magic beast long-horned deer and the trunk of the fourth-level Sun God tree.
The material of the bow string is a bit poor, and it only uses the tendons of second-level monsters. If it is replaced with high-level materials, there is still room for improvement in the grade of this bow.
This bow and arrow is the equipment that William has used for many years. It is worth more than 200 gold coins, which is more expensive than a second-level Warcraft horse.
This arrow was aimed at the first-order kobold. The arrow cut through the air, made a sharp sound, and instantly pierced the kobold's eyes.
The battlefield was in chaos, and the kobolds had no time to react. A scream came out, and they immediately crawled to the ground limply and died on the way to attack the city.
The kobold had just died, and there was a ding in Richard's mind.
"Killing a first-level kobold will reward you with 500 experience points."
These days, Richard has been training hard every day, especially the Mad Lion Breathing Technique. He has spent a lot of time on it, and he has not stopped even if he is busy.
His efforts were not in vain, as shown in the attribute panel, various skills and experience increased.
The war was urgent, and after receiving the killing experience prompt, Richard hurriedly closed the attribute panel in his mind and focused on the battlefield.
Richard fired the first arrow, followed closely by a dozen veterans of the Sixth Legion with accurate archery skills, who drew their bows and shot arrows at the orcs who were charging at the front.
Veterans who have been in the army for many years have extraordinary archery skills. According to Richard's estimation, many of them have very good archery skills and have reached the third level of basic archery. There are a few powerful ones whose archery skills can rival Richard's.
The dozen or so arrows were extremely accurate and shot down seven or eight enemies in an instant.
Eight heavy arrows were aimed at a first-level goat-headed man. Two arrows pierced the goat-body man's lower limbs, four arrows hit the torso, and the other two missed.
There are more than a dozen veterans of the Sixth Squadron. Although they have not advanced to become professionals, they have been practicing breathing techniques for several years. Most of them are middle-level apprentices with more than 4 points of strength, which is better than Hayden.
Most of these people were team captains and vice-captains, acting as grassroots officers. A few of them joined forces to attack and cooperated very well, killing the Goat professionals immediately. In the chaotic battlefield, low-level professionals were also cannon fodder, and they were equally indifferent.
valuable.
There were casualties and blood, which made the orcs' desire to attack even stronger.
The archers kept unfurling their bows and nocking arrows, shooting out rounds of arrows.
Each volley will take away more than a dozen orc soldiers. After three rounds of volleys, more than 30 orcs have fallen. Three professionals have also been killed, and two others have been injured, and their combat effectiveness has been weakened.
Quite a few.
After three rounds of arrow rain, the orc army was already fifty meters away from the city wall. The sheep-headed men and wild boar men all raised their slings and fired stone bullets at the top of the city.
The stones came over, immediately injuring and killing some soldiers, causing a bit of chaos on the city wall.
Even Richard's chest was hit by a stone. Severe pain was felt and his body was covered in black and blue.
Richard endured the pain, his eyes widened, and he stared at the battlefield carefully. He saw a recruit whose legs were weak and looked as if he was about to drop his weapon. Richard kicked him hard, with a fierce look in his eyes, as if he was eating someone.
generally.
"Draw the bow, shoot the arrow, and don't let your legs get weak.
Whoever dares to take a step back will not be recognized by the sword in my hand.
If I, Richard, take a step back, you can hack me to death with your swords.
Today I will stand on the top of the city and kill the orcs with everyone.
Victory belongs to us! Honor belongs to the Sixth Squadron!
We are invincible and brave and courageous!"
Richard shouted loudly from the top of the city. The more than a dozen veterans were experienced and knew that morale could only be boosted at this time. They immediately shouted together with Richard, which improved the morale of the new soldiers.
Two more rounds of arrows were fired, killing more than thirty orcs.
At this moment, the orcs were approaching the city head, using simple ladders to climb up.
The serpentine professionals squeezed away their companions, flicked their tails, and jumped towards the city wall. At the same time, they opened their mouths and fired venom missiles.
The snake-like people are very powerful and their tails are also very long. They can stand upright four to five meters high. They jump up and reach half of the city wall in one go. They can reach the city wall by stretching their arms upwards. Then they crawl with all their strength, half of their body is up.
Arrive at the city wall.
The snake-like man climbed up, and Richard immediately commanded the shield-hand to raise his shield and block the venom missiles.
Although he received six venom missiles, the splashing venom still hit eight or nine soldiers.
The venom burned the soldiers' skin, and the city walls instantly screamed.
"The wounded soldiers who can walk quickly help their companions down. The medical soldiers ask the priest for antidote and treat the wounded quickly."
Diarra did not panic, and took up the push rod with the backbone of veterans, trying to push the snake man off the city wall.
At the same time, the harpies began to dive downwards, shooting out rays one after another.
The ray swept across the city, killing five soldiers immediately. Even Ron was carried along by the ray, his armor was damaged, he fell to the ground and became a casualty.
Seeing the Harpy swooping down, Military Judge Owen remained calm and commanded the three soldiers with the best archery skills in the squadron to shoot magic crossbow arrows.
The three magic crossbows lit up with blue light, and the crossbow arrows exploded in the air instantly.
Two harpies fell from the sky. The seriously injured third-level harpy was swarmed by soldiers from the Sixth Squadron and stabbed to death with random shots.
The squadron's magic crossbow is only a second-level enchanted crossbow arrow. The secret to why it is so powerful lies in the arrow.
This special arrow is called a burst arrow, and its grade has reached the fourth level.
A squadron is equipped with only nine arrows. If they are used up, it will be difficult to replenish them in wartime.
Three enchanted crossbows, equipped with nine arrows, are the main weapon of the infantry squadron of the main army. They hit the vital point and are enough to kill mid-level professionals. More than half of the casualties were caused by the dive on the city wall. The remaining two harpies suddenly panicked and did not dare to approach.
At the top of the city, it could only hover helplessly in the sky.
