Teams of city guards and militiamen were preparing for battle on the walls of Ironwood City, but Ironwood City was actually not a very majestic city. It was just a small city, and the city walls were not tall enough, far from Ironwood Castle.
Military castles such as Stonehenge are strong and sturdy.
But as the place where the Hunter family started, the city defense materials and facilities are absolutely beyond the standards. There are seven or eight bear hunting crossbows fixed on one city wall alone. The iron pot is already boiling with gold juice, and the soldiers are high-spirited to fight.
, there are sufficient supplies in the city.
Although the city is small, it would have taken a lot of effort to break such a city in ancient China. However, the attacking party now is the orcs after all, and no one dares to be careless.
…
Under the city, when Ironwood City was mobilizing for battle, the orcs were not idle either. Unlike the ogres, the orcs had their own civilization and were much better than the ogres in making siege tools.
own style.
In a short period of time, the orcs did not build any large-scale siege equipment. They only built some flying hooks, ladders and other tools, as well as some shield vehicles to help them get closer to the city wall.
If these siege tools are used to deal with fortified cities like Hel Fort or Zhenbeiguan, which are purely military, they will definitely not be enough, but they are more than enough to deal with Ironwood City.
With the strength of the orc warriors, they can throw the flying hook directly to the city wall and hang it. For these elite orc warriors, the city wall more than ten meters high can be climbed in a few seconds. After setting up the ladder, they can climb it.
The speed can be even faster.
"Lord Nuno, it seems that the guards of this human city are not weak."
In the distance, the orcs were also carefully observing Ironwood City. Of course, the movements on the city wall could not be hidden from the eyes of the orcs. The orcs had seen a lot of the iron pots hung high and the large crossbows placed at the top of the city.
This set is the most basic among the Longxiguan defenders.
"Humph, you are stubbornly resisting."
"Send a team of 100 people to test it out first."
"Yes, sir."
In the past, the orcs faced Dragon's Breath Pass, which was said to never fall. Any military fortress there was several levels harder to chew than the walls of Ironwood City. It was normal for Nuno to look down on Ironwood City's defenses.
But Nuno is indeed an excellent commander. Even if Ironwood City doesn't look like much, he still cautiously tests it first.
Under the city wall of Ironwood City, a group of hundreds of orcs carrying shield carts and siege equipment began to approach the city wall of Ironwood City. Behind them, there were more orc troops carrying ladders and other siege equipment, ready at any time.
follow up.
"Bear hunting crossbow, prepare!"
"put!"
"Buzz, buzz buzz..."
Although the orcs are still far away at this time, the bear hunting crossbows mounted on the city wall have a longer range. These crossbows have not been miniaturized. They can be directly mounted on the city wall and can be operated by four people at the same time. Even if a pulley group is used, the string must be pulled.
Two people have to work hard at the same time to complete the winding, and the other person is responsible for nocking and launching the arrow.
The effective range of this large-scale bear hunting crossbow can reach a thousand steps.
"boom!"
"boom!"
Seven or eight giant arrows landed relatively accurately near the orc team pushing the shield cart. One of them even pierced the front of an advancing shield cart. Several orcs in charge of pushing the cart were shaken and fell down.
On the ground, I didn't recover for a long time,
Unfortunately, although the giant arrow proved to have hit the shield car, it did not destroy it. The orcs covered by the shield car did not suffer any substantial damage. After a while, there was still a giant arrow hanging on the front.
The shield car began to move slowly again.
"Bear hunting crossbow, prepare!"
"Loading complete!"
"put!"
"Buzz, buzz..."
Regardless of whether it caused any damage, the bear-hunting crossbow on the city continued to pour arrows at the advancing orcs.
Because of Richard's obsessive-compulsive disorder, the bear-hunting crossbow has a standardized process from loading and stringing to aiming and firing. The soldiers have become quite proficient in this process through day-after-day training, which invisibly speeds up bear hunting.
crossbow firing speed,
Only twenty seconds after the first arrow was fired, the bear hunting crossbow completed preparations again and completed another round of firing.
This time the orcs were not so lucky. Although a giant arrow was still stuck on the shield cart, the orc hiding behind was still stabbed by half of the giant arrow that passed through the shield cart.
Except for naturally powerful creatures such as giant dragons, creatures with normal flesh and blood cannot withstand such giant arrows. Half of the giant arrow penetrated the iron armor in front of the orc in an instant and sank into its heart. The giant arrow with powerful kinetic energy
The arrow completely shattered his heart, but the orcs also had extremely strong vitality. They even pulled themselves out of the giant arrow before falling to the ground and twitching a few times and dying. The other orcs completely ignored the death of their companions and quickly
The orcs took his position and continued to move forward. These carefully selected orcs were elites who had long been accustomed to life and death. On the battlefield, they didn't even care about their own life and death. How could they care about it?
other's.
On the other hand, the eyes of Nuno, the commander of the orc army who was watching the battle from behind, jumped. As the commander-in-chief, he naturally saw more things.
The range and launch speed of this kind of giant arrow are much stronger than the giant arrows in Dragon Breath Pass. Could it be that human war equipment has made some great progress, so that even such a small town can be equipped with such a sharp weapon?
"Bang, bang..."
The bear-hunting crossbow on the city wall fired another volley, this time causing the casualties of two orcs. In just a hundred steps, three elite warriors were killed. Nuno still felt a little pain in his heart.
These are all elites who can serve as great experts in an ordinary army. It is really a loss to be killed by human remote equipment like this.
"When the shield car approaches the city wall, let the whole army press on it together. We must use the power of thunder to capture the city wall with one blow."
"Yes, sir..."
Nuno felt that he had almost seen the opponent's trump card in defending the city. He could launch an attack with all his strength once the shield car in front found a safe path.
After all, they still have many tasks to do in the North, and they cannot stay in this small town for too long.
"Gam, you and I should also prepare. We will lead a few warriors later and rush up the city wall when we find a suitable opportunity."
"Also, I will order the troops in front to protect the crossbows after taking down the city wall, and don't let others destroy them."
"Yes, sir!"
…
On the other side, just as Nuno was feeling distressed for the loss of several elite orc warriors, the human officers watching on the city wall were not satisfied either.
"Why is the wooden cart pushed by these orcs so strong? It proves that it was not damaged even after being hit by a bear hunting crossbow!"
"That's right…"
"The orcs are coming up, everyone should keep their positions!"
"yes!"
