Donglin City is the most chaotic city in the Qing Kingdom, because not only residents live here, but there are also foreign mercenaries and a large number of soldiers.
Due to the long-term garrison of the fortress, many soldiers got married here and made their homes in Donglin City. Therefore, this is a holy land for soldiers, a paradise for adventurers, and it is also the first city to be attacked by the orcs on the most beautiful defense line.
In fact, the entire military fortress, in the Qing Defense Zone, was where Donglin City was attacked by the orcs, and the towering snow-capped mountains on both sides and the fortress above became a natural barrier.
As long as the defenders station a limited number of people in a dangerous area, they can block the attack of the main orcs. It can be said that one man can block the barrier and no one can open it.
But it's different in the north of Donglin City. There is an endless snowfield, which can be used for launching charges. It has also become a Shura field for the Qing Kingdom and the Orcs.
Of course, Luo State also has such a place, and Qin State even built several cities on the border to resist the invasion of most of the orcs.
Therefore, if the orcs want to invade Qingguo, they must capture Donglin City.
The Qing Kingdom's real defense line was no more than a hundred miles long. The rest of the time, they just deployed one or more teams of soldiers high up, guarding large long-range repeating crossbows, to block the orcs who wanted to attack by surprise.
Over time, the orcs gave up those dangerous places and exclusively attacked this hundred-mile defense line. Wars of various sizes occurred almost every year.
Ximen Hao doesn't care about other countries now, he only cares about Qingguo.
At this time, he was holding the defense map he had collected from Zhao Yunlong. He was looking at the north gate of Qingguo, imagining in his mind the orc army he had never seen before, frantically attacking the fortress.
The humans, on the other hand, used long-range weapons or directly sent cavalry to fight with the orcs outside the military fortress.
To the north of the fortress, through the frost forest, is the territory of the orcs.
Unlike the humans, the orcs have their own country and exquisite and comfortable palaces. Their living habits are still tribal.
Similar to the Sixteen Kingdoms, there are large tribes and small tribes, and their tribes are divided by ethnic groups. The more ethnic groups there are, the larger the tribes will be.
Not only do they want to break through the defense lines and plunder or occupy human territory, they also often start wars between ethnic groups.
The orc tribe has several large groups in the northern snowfields, such as the werewolf tribe, the bear tribe, etc.
Ximen Hao can imagine how exciting the days will be in the future, it will be like a real-life version of World of Warcraft!
In this way, while he was looking at the map, Zhao Yunlong, who was already able to stand up and huddled in the corner of the carriage, would check the situation of Donglin City from time to time. Gradually, Donglin City was getting closer and closer.
In the afternoon of that day, the group finally entered the south gate of Donglin City, and were immediately shocked by the wide streets and densely packed buildings inside.
I saw that the main streets here are all paved with bluestone, and the highest houses are no more than three stories. Because they are too high, they may be attacked by the orcs from a distance and become targets.
The streets are filled with the atmosphere of barbarians, because from time to time there will be troops or mercenary groups passing by. Even the passers-by are full of barbarians, unlike the people in inland cities who are soft and weak.
This is a place where the fittest survive.
The Peerless Iron Cavalry is a demon-like existence in Donglin City, so when twenty Iron Riders walk on the street, even the patrolling troops will give way.
Ximen Hao was riding on the Gale Wolf, looking at the shops on both sides of the street, selling everything, and each one looked like the business was booming.
"Holy shit! Are those orcs?" He suddenly pointed at several carriages and shouted.
"Sir, calm down."
Ji Wubing hurried forward and whispered a reminder.
I saw five carriages escorted by two teams of soldiers. The carriages were made of steel cages. Inside were people with human heads and tiger bodies, some with wolf heads and bodies, all of which were half humans and half beasts.
They were huddled in the cage one by one, their bodies covered with wounds, but their eyes were full of wildness.
"These are prisoners of war and will be dealt with specially. Some will be killed, and those who can surrender will surrender and be thrown into the battlefield as cannon fodder."
Zhao Yunlong didn't know when he was sitting on the side of the car, dressed neatly, maybe he didn't want others to see his embarrassed side.
"Oh~ can't we exchange prisoners of war?" Ximen Hao asked.
Suddenly, he found that the atmosphere around him had solidified. Zhao Yunlong and all the sergeants had ugly expressions, and even Ji Wubing also had a gloomy expression.
Ximen Hao's heart tightened and he closed his mouth. He had already guessed the result.
"The Orcs are located in a remote area. The only time the snow melts is in summer, so all kinds of supplies are very scarce, especially food."
Ji Wubing still taught Ximen Hao a lesson, and he found that the eldest prince knew very little.
"Stop talking, it's uncomfortable."
As a human being, Ximen Hao certainly couldn't accept being treated as food. He felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, and looked at the orcs who were being taken away with cold eyes.
"Haha~ Not all orcs can eat people. Those who eat people are all low-blooded orcs, or monsters with low intelligence. High-blooded orcs are no different from humans, and even high-level ones will completely turn into humans."
"They eat rich and delicious food, drink fine wine, and have great rights. So, you don't need to pay too much attention. Once you get used to it, it will be fine. Moreover, the human battlefield uses orcs
Take prisoners as cannon fodder, subdue monsters to use as mounts, and even get some beautiful orcs to use as..."
When Ji Wubing said this, he shut his mouth. Because the guy in front of him had a maid from the Fox clan, but it was a pity...
Ximen Hao glanced at the other party, then forced out an ugly smile, and continued to stare at the main street of Donglin City in a daze.
"Roar!" A beast roar interrupted his train of thought.
I saw a silver-armored general riding a lion-like monster, followed by a group of soldiers.
People passing by often saw monster mounts here, and they didn't panic at all, they just jumped out of the way for the other party.
"Eh? Isn't this Commander Zhao? What? Instead of riding horses, your unrivaled cavalry rides on cars? Hahaha!"
The silver-armored general obviously recognized Zhao Yunlong, or there must have been some friction between the two, as he laughed harshly.
"Huyanda, I don't have time to talk to you, let's go!"
Zhao Yunlong obviously didn't want to cause trouble, especially in his current state, which was so embarrassing.
"drive!"
The unparalleled cavalry urged the horses to sit down, and the team sped up.
Hu Yanda glanced at Ximen Hao and others. Seeing that they looked dusty, he didn't pay too much attention and urged his mount to move forward.
Suddenly, he stopped again and turned to look at the backs of Ximen Hao and others. It seemed that he had overlooked something.
The person who can be escorted by unparalleled iron cavalry may have a lot of background. Could it be...
Suddenly, he remembered something that his uncle had mentioned inadvertently: the eldest prince would come to Donglin City to recuperate in the near future.
"Which one is the eldest prince? The one who rides the wind wolf? No, since he is recuperating, it should be the sick guy. 呲呲~ I didn't expect that the dignified eldest prince of the Qing Dynasty was only at the first level of cultivation after he was born. He is really... a waste
