Chapter 775 You have Zhang Liangji, I have a wall ladder!
Among the dozens of miles of defense line, only the gate tower of the border city in the middle was not affected by the flames of war.
Similarly, behind the orc army on the opposite side, those strong men were also watching quietly.
I don’t know what they are waiting for. Are they waiting for an opportunity? Or are they waiting for an order?
Ximen Hao and others have no time to think about this.
The second wave of attacks by the orcs lasted from the afternoon to the next morning. The corpses under the city wall had piled up like a mountain, including those of orcs and humans.
Fortunately, the walls of the fortress were high enough, otherwise the corpses would have become a ladder for the orcs to attack the city.
The fortress is already in dire straits. There are corpses of humans and orcs.
No one has time to clean up the corpse. If that happens, someone might stab him in the back.
The air was filled with the pungent smell of blood, and there were screams and shouts.
As for the human race, the Qin army has lost no less than 400,000 men! The Haotian army has also lost nearly 200,000 men.
The human race has suffered even more losses. There are only more than three million orcs who are attacking the city!
Of course, the more than one million corpses also provided convenience for the follow-up troops. Orcs with some cultivation can use the corpses to jump to the city wall.
Ji Wubing's side had already repelled the third attack of the orcs, and Qin Ya's side had also withstood the second wave.
I don’t know why, but the orcs on both sides are not as ferocious as here. Rather than attacking the city, they are holding back the two million human army!
Not only that, the quality of the orc soldiers over there is not at the same level as here!
Look here, there are not only the giants of the giant tree clan, but also a large number of lava giants and other elite orcs.
"Duwuwu...duwuwu..."
In the early morning, the orcs finally blew the retreat horn, leaving countless corpses behind and began to retreat.
The human army finally breathed a sigh of relief, healing the wounds and cleaning up the corpses.
They didn't dare to throw the corpses outside the city, which would make the orcs' attack smoother, so they threw them all inside the city.
Ximen Hao was patrolling his defense area at this time, comforting the injured from time to time. If he encountered serious injuries, he would throw a pill, causing the soldiers to kowtow repeatedly.
Qin Beast also patrolled his defense area. At this time, what the soldiers needed most was comfort and encouragement.
The two orc holy priests on the opposite side also began to patrol their army, instantly filling the exhausted orcs with strength.
Both sides are licking their wounds and preparing for the next wave of attacks.
Upstairs at the city gate, those strong men no longer drank, but gathered around to drink tea and chat.
This truce lasted until night without the orcs launching an attack, which made everyone breathe a sigh of relief.
The tense nerves finally relaxed and I began to rest and regain my strength.
However, in the Haotian Army, a figure in white clothes was as tired as a dog, treating the injuries of the soldiers. That was the imperial wet nurse of the Haotian Kingdom: Bai Lian.
"Brother Ritian, I have to thank you very much this time. If it weren't for the light spell of Saint White Lotus, I would be doomed here."
Qin Beast leaned against the city wall, looking very tired and the beard on his face was messy.
"I'm helping you by helping me, but didn't the little Holy Mother get a lot of benefits from you?"
Ximen Hao squatted beside the city wall, with countless corpses behind him.
Looking at Bai Lian who was tired and sweating with a smile, this little Holy Mother asked him to help Qin Jun thaw, and then spent a large amount of Yuanshi and elixirs.
"Hahaha! That's nothing, Yuanshi elixirs are all external things! Brother Ritian, do you think we can withstand the third wave?"
Qin Beast looked at the corpse below and couldn't handle it at all. This was a natural ladder.
"Brother Beast is worried about these corpses?"
Ximen Hao asked.
"Yes! These corpses will not only allow the orcs to attack the city better, but look at the weather, it is summer, and over time, there may be a plague."
Qin Beast sighed, if there was a plague, it would be more terrifying than the orc attack.
"Hey! I've been thinking about it just now, and I think it's better to burn it."
Ximen Hao smiled.
"Burn? Brother Ritian, have you forgotten those priests? It's useless when it rains!"
Qin Beast smiled bitterly.
"Hehe! Then let them surrender! Brother Beast, come here."
Ximen Hao whispered in Qin Beast's ear for a while.
The more Qin Beast listened, the brighter his eyes became, and finally he couldn't help but give a thumbs up:
"Brother Ritian, you are awesome! Come here, send the order and collect a lot of lime powder. The more the better!"
"yes!"
The Qin army's messengers rushed to deliver the order.
Ximen Hao also notified his communications troops and ordered the entire army to search for lime powder.
And notify the surrounding cities to prepare lime powder, and then ask the griffin army to transport it.
These days, there is a lot of lime powder. After all, these are needed for building houses and painting walls.
The allied forces of the two countries worked from morning to night, transporting a large amount of lime powder, all of which was piled on the city wall.
At this time, the corpses below have begun to stink. If not dealt with in time, the plague will spread quickly.
Looking at the orcs on the opposite side, it was obvious that they also wanted to use this method to consume the human race's combat effectiveness, so they never launched another attack.
…
"Are you ready over there?"
Ximen Hao covered his nose. The stench was getting worse and worse. It was obvious that the body was starting to rot.
"Okay, we can start."
Qin Beast also covered his nose and said.
Ximen Hao nodded and looked at the communications soldier:
"Send the order, throw kerosene, and burn the body."
"yes!"
The signal soldier hurriedly conveyed the order.
Qin Beast also used Ximen Hao's twenty communication soldiers to issue orders.
"Whoosh! Whoosh..."
Cans of kerosene were thrown down and poured on the body, followed by countless torches.
"Boom boom boom..."
The dozens of miles of defense line instantly turned into a fire dragon, flames shot into the sky, and a burning smell filled the air. Everyone pulled off their clothes and covered their mouths and noses.
"Hmph! I knew you would be like this! All priests, make it rain!"
A sneer appeared on Wu Ai's face, everything was planned by her.
"Wow..."
As hundreds of priests waved their staffs, rain began to fall from the sky, all pouring on the corpse.
For a moment, the raging fire that had just been lit was extinguished in an instant, but the heavy rain was still falling.
Ximen Hao’s lips curled up:
"Pour lime!"
After giving the order, everyone started pouring lime down.
When the lime meets water, it immediately emits heat. Even if it cannot melt the corpses, it can still be disinfected very well.
For a moment, the entire fortress seemed to be enveloped in fog. Everyone retreated and covered their mouths and noses because it was too choking!
"Huh? Still not destroyed?"
Absinthe Willow frowned, as orcs, there are some things they don't know.
"Increase the rainfall!"
Sass ordered.
"Crash..."
Those priests used their energy to increase their mana output, and the rain suddenly turned from heavy rain to heavy rain.
However, the rain got heavier and heavier, the heat became more and more intense, and the aroma of stewed meat wafted in the air, making the unaware orcs swallow their saliva one by one.
[Happy National Day to everyone! Students, you can have fun again!]
