Chapter five hundred and forty-nine guarding the beast city
The next day, Marquis Zhenyuan brought Anu, Feng Yiyi, Tieshu and other generals to the wall in front of the Beast Control City!
Anu looked around on the city wall and found that these orcs really didn't want their lives, and they actually left corpses all over the city!
Thinking about it, the orcs on the other side have attacked many times. Anu looked at the city wall that was more than ten feet high and said: These orcs are so naive. They even come to attack such a strong and tall city wall. I really don’t know what they think?
Marquis Zhenyuan sighed and said: These orcs are also helpless. They have not harvested any food this year, and the tree roots and wild beasts in the mountains have been eaten by them. That's why they came up with the idea of attacking our Gale Country!
There are also many innocent orcs here who were forced by the orc leader to attack the Beast Control City!
Anu also nodded and looked into the distance. He also found that what he saw was a desolate place, except for smoke and dust!
Hundreds of thousands of orcs simply set up camp not far from the city. The camp covered an area of more than ten miles and tightly surrounded the Beast Control City.
Anu frowned and said: A large part of these orcs should have been forcibly recruited by the orc leaders, right?
Marquis Zhenyuan nodded and said: That should be the case. After all, the other party has summoned so many orcs this time. It seems that not all of them are fighting orcs. Many of them were put together temporarily!
While they were talking, the orc tribe below also began to commotion in a large area. People shouted about the beasts, and they all gathered under the city carrying simple ladders!
Marquis Zhenyuan said: It seems they are preparing to attack my Beast Control City again.
After saying that, he quickly mobilized the defending troops, putting the archers, slingers, and slingers into combat mode, and the shield-hands and rattan-hands to prepare for defense!
He also issued military orders urgently!
Anu was also lying on the city wall looking down. At this time, more orcs were gathering below. It is estimated that there are almost more than 100,000 orcs surging towards the Beast Control City!
After Zhenyuan Hou issued the defense order, he also said to Anu: These orcs attack the city on a large scale once every three days and on a small scale every two days. Today is considered a large scale attack!
Anu nodded and coldly observed the situation of the orcs below.
These orcs did not have any offensive plans. Under the leadership of a few particularly burly orcs, they also climbed up the beast-controlling city wall with ladders and ropes and some climbing tools!
There are also many orcs blowing special horn horns. The sound of the horns is low and has a barbaric sound that disturbs the mind!
When Marquis Zhenyuan saw that the opponent was attacking, he quickly sent an order for the archers to execute rounds of fire to stop the enemy!
Suddenly, arrows rained down from the city wall, and rolling logs and boulders were also thrown at the orcs below the city!
These orcs in the city are very strong and tall, and they wear simple animal skin armor. Their strength has reached that of the human race.
At the level of warriors, some small leaders are at the level of generals!
However, the walls of this beast-controlling city are too high. Even if they rely on ladders and some simple climbing tools, they still can't attack the city!
On the other hand, when the orcs below saw arrows and rolling rocks being thrown down from the city, they also followed suit and started shooting arrows at the city!
These orcs are naturally good at hunting, so their arrows can be shot very accurately, which poses a great threat to the soldiers defending the city!
Fortunately, Marquis Zhenyuan also sent shield and shield soldiers to guard the archers. Although the orcs below attacked slowly, they were endless!
One hundred thousand orcs died one after another, attacking the Beast Control City without fear of death!
Anu frowned as he looked at the orcs attacking the city like a swarm below and said: Aren't they afraid of casualties? If they attack the city like this, they will return in vain?
Marquis Zhenyuan said: These are ordinary orcs on the surface, and their main force still relies on some special orcs.
These special orcs are particularly good at climbing. When they attack the city wall, that will be our most dangerous hand-to-hand combat and wall defense battle!
But looking at the situation, they probably didn't send these special orcs today. It seems that the other party also had other ideas!
Anu nodded and continued to watch. Both sides attacked and defended for more than an hour. The orcs below retreated after being shot and wounded thousands of people!
Marquis Zhenyuan smiled bitterly and said, "They will attack again after more than an hour's rest. I guess their orc leader is planning to use up all our bows and arrows before launching a general attack!"
But they don’t know that I have invited to support the army, and I specifically mentioned sending more bows and arrows to support!
Anu looked indifferently at the orc army below. Another hour passed, and sure enough, the orcs below began to riot again, horns sounded one after another, and the orcs began to attack the city again!
When Marquis Zhenyuan heard the horn sound, his expression changed slightly, and he hurriedly reissued various defensive orders, focusing on strengthening the long swords and spearmen at the top of the city!
Marquis Zhenyuan said: The sound of this horn means that a special orc army is about to attack the city. I have experienced it several times and gained experience!
When Anu heard this, he smiled helplessly and said: These orcs dare to attack our Gale Kingdom before they are smart enough. It is really ridiculous. They don't want their lives, so we will accept it for them!
After saying that, he quietly looked at the siege situation of the orcs below.
Sure enough, some of the orcs in the orc army attacking the city this time are very short in stature, but their hands and feet are very slender, and their fingers are as sharp as hooks!
These weird orcs are hidden among other orc troops and are heading towards the city wall together!
When they got to the city wall, they also showed off their ability to climb. They were able to climb straight up the wall quickly using their hands and feet!
The archers on the wall also began to shoot at this place first.
There are some orcs who are good at climbing, but the orcs below also order the archers to start interference reflection!
Suddenly both the offensive and defensive sides shot at each other!
These orcs who are good at climbing are very flexible and can dodge the shots of archers on the city walls left and right!
Soon some orcs took the lead in climbing onto the city wall and started killing the nearby archers!
At this time, the defensive soldiers holding long swords and spears also bravely stepped forward, using their swords and spears to fight back these orcs!
However, with the interference of these orcs, the archers on the city could not concentrate on shooting arrows. A large group of orcs below took the opportunity to climb to the city wall using ladders and climbing tools!
With howls and screams, they attacked the defenders and archers, and the two sides launched a battle to capture the city wall!
Although the walls of the Beast Control City are very high, there are not many orcs who can climb up, but the soldiers of Marquis Zhenyuan can still hold on!
However, the opponent was an orc after all. They were thick-skinned and powerful, and their arrogant charge also caused a lot of casualties to the defenders on the city!
And there are also groups of orcs climbing up the city wall to join the battle!
When the Marquis of Zhenyuan saw this, he also said angrily: I really didn't think I was prepared at all. After speaking, he said to Anu: It's up to you. Almost all my soldiers are resisting the opponent on the top of the city!
Anu nodded and waved a large bloody flag behind him three times. Suddenly, his 30,000 elite soldiers rushed out from the bunker of the city wall with spears and swords in hand, roaring and charging towards the orcs who were climbing up!
With the newly reinforced 30,000 elite soldiers, the orcs who climbed up were knocked out of the city in less than a quarter of an hour!
The city was temporarily safer. When the Marquis of Zhenyuan saw it, he also praised: Haha, I didn't expect the soldiers you brought to be so powerful. I thought they would panic or have weak legs when they first arrived on the battlefield!
Anu smiled and said: The emperor knows that it is very difficult for the Marquis to guard the beast-controlling city, so the soldiers sent this time are all tiger and wolf guards who are good at fighting. Killing these orcs is not a problem!
Upon hearing this, Marquis Zhenyuan also happily said loudly: Haha, the emperor still thinks of me, he is indeed my good brother!
Apparently he was so excited that he became brothers with the emperor, and he also forgot that there was the emperor's daughter here!
But even Feng Aiyun wouldn’t say much here!
The orc leaders below saw that the orcs they had just attacked were quickly beaten down, and through investigation and questioning, they understood that nothing could be done!
Knowing that there were still some soldiers waiting for work in the opponent's city, I had to sound the gong and withdraw the troops, retreat two miles away and postpone the attack!
Marquis Zhenyuan looked at the retreating situation of the orcs below and said to Anu: It seems that they are not planning to attack today!
He also redeployed his defenses, and then invited Anu, Feng Yiyi, Tieshu and several generals to return to the city lord's mansion to discuss the next countermeasures!
