The human army once again used wells and other war equipment to attack the walls of Watch City. Thor took the lead and jumped directly to the top of the city. He swung a giant sword and instantly killed several orc warriors in the surrounding area.
With Thor's momentum to ascend first, the human soldiers behind him also fought bravely and quickly occupied a section of the city wall.
In a war in a world with extraordinary power, although a large number of soldiers are still the basis of war, the mode of war is still slightly different. At least a few decent strong men can quickly open a gap and open a channel for some soldiers to attack.
.Otherwise, if you want to attack a fortified city with a wall more than ten meters high, you don't know how many lives of soldiers will be consumed just by rushing up to the city wall.
"Block him! The warrior camp presses forward!"
"kill!"
Thor knew that he would use himself as an arrow to rush up and open the gap. Of course, the orcs also had ways to deal with it. Although there were no orc protecting warriors in the Watch City at this time, there were more than ten imperial warriors equivalent to the earth level, including warriors and great warriors.
The number was even greater, and some of them were concentrated into formations, forming an elite force of several hundred people led by the royal warriors. As soon as they saw Thor rushing up with his men, they immediately rushed up.
"clang!"
"boom!"
Thor's great sword clashed with the orc warrior's great axe.
Thor's giant sword dance was very powerful, but it was difficult for several strong orcs to fight. In the area where they fought, some ordinary soldiers were inexplicably affected and fell.
In terms of force, Thor naturally outnumbered these orc warriors, but the number of orcs was too large. Five orc warriors who were equivalent to the middle and high levels of the earth class cooperated to fight with Thor. They did not seek any merit, as long as they
If you can trap Thor and prevent him from killing people on the city wall, you will have accomplished your goal.
These mighty-looking orcs play very conservatively, usually approaching Thor in pairs to attack, making it difficult for Thor to pursue and cause fatal damage even if he gains the upper hand with one move.
On the scene, Thor and the strong orcs were inseparable, but this was actually quite detrimental to the human side, because in the backbone of the force from knight to great knight, the orcs had a crushing advantage over humans.
Among the elite troops that climbed the city wall with Thor, there were only dozens of knights and a few high knights, and the rest were just some quasi-knights or even ordinary elite soldiers. Facing the elite warrior battalion composed of all warrior-level orcs,
Without Thor's help, the human soldiers soon showed their defeat. They were forced back into the corner step by step. They could only rely on the cover of the crossbows on the well to resist temporarily, but this confrontation obviously could not last long.
.
As most of the army was forced to retreat, Thor did not dare to be surrounded by the enemy group. He could only retreat with the army. The corner of the narrow city wall gradually lost the space for humans to stand. There was nothing humans could do.
Taking full advantage of his numerical advantage and being unable to do anything, after a hard fight, Thor still issued the order to retreat before his fighting spirit was exhausted.
The human army surged up like a tide and then receded like a tide, leaving behind a pile of corpses and a few destroyed wells, but still no breakthrough progress was made.
…
"Lord Thor, you can't continue to lead the attack. It's too dangerous."
In the tent, Thor took off his heavy armor. In today's battle, he suffered some minor injuries, and his back was rubbed by the orc's battle ax. Although he was protected by treasure armor, he also used skills to remove some of it.
Despite the strength, a two-finger-long incision was inevitably made, which looked very terrifying.
"It's not a big deal. I'll have someone give me some medicine and a bandage. I'll be fully recovered in two days."
"Sir, as the commander-in-chief of an army, it is too dangerous for you to risk your own life and charge every time."
"It's okay. No one among the orcs is my opponent. They can always escape intact. If I hadn't gone up, the soldiers would have suffered more serious casualties."
"Hey, if the dragon is willing to fight, this Watch City won't be so difficult to fight."
As soon as he said this, the big tent fell into silence.
Because Richard has been dragging many orc troops with him on the northern front, even Sean, the orc national protector-level general, did not come to Watch City for assistance but went to the northern front, which relieved the pressure on the middle line a lot. Many troops around Watch City
The forts were easily pulled out by the army. Only Watch City, the main city of the orcs in the middle line, was struggling.
There are more than 300,000 troops garrisoned in the city, and they can still draw enough strong men to fight against Thor, making it difficult for Thor to easily open the gap with the advantage of force as before.
And the dragons that humans regarded as their trump card lost their control at the critical moment. Except for the golden dragon Al, the other dragons were not willing to risk their lives to attack with the dragon-hunting crossbows of Watch City. It was okay in the wild battle, and the orcs'
Dragon-hunting crossbows are bulky and difficult to use, and do not pose a great threat to the dragon. However, the number of dragon-hunting crossbows deployed on important military cities such as Watch City greatly increases the threat to the dragon.
The giant dragon is also intelligent, so naturally he is not willing to risk his life. After all, not everyone can use the dragon as a hunting dog like Richard. Several giant dragons in the kingdom are equal to the kingdom, even the ones of this generation.
The giant dragon is more like a group of big men, how can they fight for their lives easily?
Hundreds of years ago, when Aragorn was still powerful, it would have been possible to use the dragon to fight. Now only the golden dragon Asuo can risk his life because of his friendship with Thor, but before that, Asuo was attacking an orc fortress.
One of his wings was hit by a dragon-hunting crossbow. Although it was no big deal, it slightly affected his flying flexibility. His flexibility in avoiding the dragon-hunting crossbow was definitely not as good as before. Thor would not dare to let it go again if he wanted to break through Watch City.
The golden dragon Asuo goes on an adventure alone.
"well!"
"There is no need to mention the matter of the giant dragon. Although we did not break the city, the orcs are not feeling well either. We have the advantage of strength. If I continue to lead the attack tomorrow, there is always a chance to break through the Watch City."
Thor's approach was already a bit radical. The original plan was to quickly capture Watch City, destroy the orcs' early layout, and then retreat after doing all the damage. However, he did not expect that Watch City would be so difficult to capture. Even if he took the orcs by surprise,
Thor, who has a superior force, still cannot take the Watch City. Now the battle situation is neither good nor bad, which makes Thor extremely uncomfortable.
"But Lord Thor, if we can't take Watch City anymore, and if we wait for the orc reinforcements to arrive, we will be in danger, as well as those white dragons who have not shown up in the intelligence..."
"We still have time. I just received news from the Northern Route Army. The elite army led by the Duke of Northland wreaked havoc around the orc capital Monaya. The orcs mobilized a large army to encircle and suppress them. After the Duke of Northland jumped out of the encirclement, he encountered another enemy.
White Dragon, the White Dragon on the orc side is suffering heavy casualties now, and the orcs in Watch City should not have reinforcements for the time being."
Since Sol's side has always had a liaison officer using the Wind Bird to deliver messages, he is quite familiar with the situation on Richard's side. Naturally, he knows that Richard has overfulfilled his task and bought him a lot of extra time.
The senior officer on the side listened to Sol's words. Although he was still a little worried, he finally lost the anxiety he had before.
"Next, order the Guards Corps to take a good rest and prepare for battle. In addition, we will recruit knight-level masters and above from the entire army to form a knight brigade of 200 people. They will join me in the siege tomorrow!"
"Yes, sir!"
The human knights are not as relaxed as the orc warriors, and they basically serve as grassroots officers. With such a centralized recruitment of knights, Thor feels like he is going all-in.
It's impossible to say that he wasn't a little nervous, but Sol always maintained a confident and steady look on his face. Just when Sol was about to let everyone go down to prepare, a messenger rushed in.
"Lord Thor! The military situation of the Western Army!"
Thor took the cylinder from the panting messenger, took out the note inside, and after scanning it, a smile suddenly appeared on his tense face.
Several officers below were a little confused by the smile on Saul's face, and someone simply asked directly:
"Lord Thor, did the Western Army achieve a great victory on the southern front?"
Sol smiled and shook his head, not hiding it.
"The Western Army has done something more important than achieving a great victory. They will arrive at the battlefield of Watch City within two days."
"The Western Army is really coming!"
"Three hundred thousand troops from the Western Region have joined the battle, and we are more certain of taking over Watch City."
"They have reached the back of Watch City. Now the orcs will feel uncomfortable."
When the generals below heard the news, they all had smiles on their faces. The Western Army had indeed arrived in time. No wonder the serious Thor couldn't help but smile. He had been waiting for the reinforcements for a long time, the Western Army.
The elites bypassed Rapid City and rushed to the battlefield in the middle line in advance.
"Lord Sol, will the attack continue tomorrow?"
"The attack will continue tomorrow. The selected knight group can run in for two days and wait for orders."
