Chapter 41 Behemoth Behemoth Attacks the City
"Boom! Boom!"
The unique war drum of the orcs beats leisurely in the delta plain, and the sound spreads to all directions.
"Ouch!!!"
The gnolls, who acted as the vanguard of the army, drove the goblins, ratmen, and wild wolves to act as cannon fodder. Encouraged by the war drums, they bravely crossed the pile of stones and killed into the city of Chang'an.
The journey was smooth and smooth.
"There is no trap or ambush?" Saka was slightly surprised.
"Seeing us coming, those timid humans must have been so frightened that they hid in the inner city. How dare they set up an ambush on the outside and risk their lives?" Sarn tried to show his contempt for the human race.
This was used to cover up his humiliating history of being ambushed by the human army and killed, leaving behind his armor.
"Still can't take it lightly."
Saka was very cautious and ordered the gnolls to search the outer city to avoid an ambush by the enemy.
Today's outer city is not bare.
In addition to the continuous kiln area in the northwest corner, there is also the Neicang City under construction, and relocated carpentry workshops, wine making workshops, clothing workshops, etc., scattered everywhere.
There are even more temporary shacks built to house the residents.
Not to mention.
Bricks, stones, wood and other building materials are scattered throughout the city.
Where can't you hide people?
However, the gnolls, led by the ratmen, goblins, and wild wolves, searched the outer city, but were surprised to find no trace of the human enemy. To be precise, not even a single figure was seen.
On the contrary, on the top of the inner city wall, the human army was already ready.
"Let's go!"
Only then did Saka confidently command the main force, pass through the gap in Shidi, and advance into Chang'an City.
The troops were directed towards the inner city.
After the army marched to a position about one thousand meters away from the inner city wall, it stopped again and rested again, obviously to prevent being attacked by the archers at the top of the city.
Those responsible for the defense at the top of the city are the City Defense Battalion and the Shanshan Camp.
"A small army of two thousand?"
Saka had a sharp eye and quickly estimated the approximate number of garrison defenders at the top of the city.
"Hehe, it's just a little more than a thousand."
Before coming, Sarn had sworn that the human territory would only have a thousand defenders at most.
The result was doubled.
"snort."
Saka didn't care much, this was what he expected.
otherwise.
They won't gather five thousand troops to attack, they are just ready to chew hard bones.
Two thousand defenders are still within the acceptable range.
"Attack!"
Saka's eyes suddenly became sharp, and the mighty war drum sounded again.
"Boom! Boom!"
Accompanied by war drums, the gnolls looked at the siege ladder, led the ratmen and goblins, and launched the first wave of tentative attacks towards the city head.
"Fire the arrow!"
The crossbowmen at the top of the city fired arrows one after another without giving any orders.
"Ouch~~"
"Gulu~~Gulu~~"
The skinny ratmen and goblins suffered heavy losses in the first wave of arrows.
One arrow can seriously injure him and knock him to the ground.
The gnolls were very vicious, stepping on the bodies of the rat men and goblins that were not yet cool, and continued running to the foot of the city wall carrying the ladder, trying to raise the ladder.
He was naturally taken care of by the crossbowman.
When the ladder was erected, the stones from the top of the city fell like raindrops, smashing the jackals into pulp.
A few were lucky enough to reach the top of the city.
He was also stabbed to death by a spearman guarding the top of the city and fell heavily from the top of the city.
"!!!"
Saka, who was watching the battle from a distance, could not help but twitch his face when he saw the first wave of attacks being frustrated.
This is the advantage of city walls.
With a tall and solid city as a support, even a small human race can face the brave orc army without fear.
Moreover, the garrison at the top of the city was obviously well-trained and was definitely not a ragtag group.
Saka was not surprised by this.
Jackals, ratmen, and goblins were basically cannon fodder among the orcs. The purpose of the first wave of probing attacks was to test the firepower of the city defenders and to wait for opportunities to find weak points in the defense.
but
The performance of the jackal army was too bad and did not put any pressure on the defenders at the top of the city.
Naturally, no weaknesses can be found.
"Continue the attack!"
Saka gave the second batch of attack orders expressionlessly.
It's time to be decisive.
But it's not sloppy at all.
"Kill! Kill! Kill!"
After receiving the order, the tauren, pig-headed men, trolls and other powerful orcs in the central army formation, led by their bosses and leaders, stepped on the war drums and formed a formation to press forward.
Almost all of them were wearing armor.
There are many elites, even wearing iron helmets.
For a time, there were many swords and guns, the roar of war drums, the war cry of the orcs, and the sound of swords hitting shields, forming an invincible and invincible force.
It was as if the earth could not bear it and was trembling inexplicably.
A dark cloud shrouded the city.
"Gudong!"
On top of the city, the recruits who had just transferred to another position a few days ago turned pale when they saw this scene. They swallowed subconsciously and held down the swords and guns in their hands.
The cold swords and guns have become the greatest source of comfort and confidence in their hearts at this moment.
Many of the recruits were well aware of the power and ferocity of the orcs when they were refugees, but they had only seen some gnolls sporadically.
At this moment, we have to face the main army of orcs, so it is normal to be afraid.
"Take a deep breath, don't be afraid!"
The generals headed by Tu Hong patrolled back and forth at the top of the city to calm down the soldiers. "The orcs are nothing to be afraid of. We have defeated them twice, and we can defeat them three times."
"Hold the weapon tightly and don't think about anything."
"Shoot out the arrows, thrust out the spears, and cut down the swords. That's success!!!"
"The blood of the orcs will turn into a medal of your bravery!"
"Kill the enemy and you will win!"
Tu Hong held his battle ax high, like an unborn war god.
"We must win, we must win!"
The soldiers were aroused by their emotions. Whether they were afraid or not, they roared at the top of their lungs, seeming to take away all their uneasiness and anxiety.
The blood in the body gradually boils.
"Kill! Kill! Kill!"
