The drizzling rain finally stopped, and the late autumn sun makes people feel comfortable no matter when it shines on them. Originally, this day was a good time for leisure, but the dozens of thick smoke from the front lookout made everyone feel comfortable.
If you don't get up, the orc army is attacking in full force.
"kill!"
On a lookout, several human soldiers were struggling to push down the rocks on the city. The orcs who were climbing up on the long ladder were hit in the head by the rocks and fell to the ground. However, four more people came right after.
Five long ladders were erected on the city wall.
Some soldiers tried to push the long ladder down, but found that there were several long hooks like flying claws on the long ladder. When the ladder was put up, it was already firmly grasped on the wall, plus the weight of the orc warriors on the ladder.
, can’t push the long ladder at all.
"kill!"
An orc warrior appeared in the gap in the female wall. The human soldiers who had been waiting for a long time suddenly shouted and thrust their guns, as if to vent their inner tension. Unexpectedly, the experienced orc warrior just made a fake move, and before the human soldiers
The moment he thrust out the spear, he flinched slightly to avoid the full blow, and then grabbed the spear hanging in the air with one hand.
"drink!"
The strength of the orc warriors is generally more than twice that of the human soldiers, and the orc vanguard is the elite of the legion. With a fierce force, the human soldiers were pulled to the wall with one hand, and the human soldiers had to give up their weapons.
"boom!"
After seizing the spear, the orc warrior did not hesitate and quickly jumped onto the city wall. The human soldier who had no weapons in his hand was kicked to the ground.
"Roar!"
These orc soldiers who climbed into the city all carried short axes for convenience. After landing on the wall, they tried to protect the long ladder behind them and cover the next comrade coming up.
"clang!"
"kill!"
"Drive the orcs away!"
However, the human officers at the lookout seemed to have discovered the crisis here a long time ago. The moment the orcs landed on the city wall, they rushed forward and slashed head-on with their long swords.
"ah!"
This human officer was a master who had just entered the knight level. The sword was attached with fighting spirit, and it directly split the helmet of the orc warrior. Red and white things burst out, and the previous majesty was lost on the spot.
"Get out of the way, get out of the way!"
"Fire oil!"
"Pour it down!"
"Zizzi!"
"ah!"
The death of one orc warrior could not stop the attack of other orcs. Fortunately, the boiling hot oil was finally ready at this time. Several human soldiers carried the hot oil and poured it down the long ladder. No matter how heavy the armor was,
Even the leather armor could not withstand the hot oil pouring down on his head, and the orc warrior who was still climbing quickly fell down screaming.
Then the human soldiers threw down the prepared torches. These ordinary long ladders did not have any fire protection treatment. The long ladders filled with hot oil were immediately ignited by the torches. It seemed that they could not be used. The orcs had no choice but to pause.
attack.
The attacking team of orcs was actually repelled by a comparable human army.
"Boss, the orcs have retreated!"
"Um."
Looking at the slowly retreating orc warriors, the humans on the observation deck, both officers and ordinary soldiers, felt heavy and couldn't be happy at all.
Because the hundreds of them are actually a lone army, this observation tower is originally a protruding part of the Longxingguan defense line. It is just a place to observe the movements of the orcs outside the defense line. It is somewhat similar to a large beacon tower. After discovering the orc army, they pass by
Thick smoke was burned to alert the army behind.
According to the rules, after discovering the orc army, the people on the watchtower only need to report the situation and choose an opportunity to retreat. After all, guarding the watchtower outside is almost a fatal task.
But this time the orc army came too fiercely. After the soldiers on the watchtower dutifully conveyed the enemy's information, the watchtower standing outside the defense line had already fallen behind the orc army. Earlier, a group of wolf riders had already plundered in front of them.
However, if you dare to leave the observation tower now, you will be massacred by orcs and wolves.
But if you don't leave, sooner or later the orcs will pull out this lookout and fall into the midst of an army of millions of orcs. Even if the strength of this lookout is increased ten times or a hundred times, it won't be able to defend it.
Even the original observation tower could not be defended. The orcs had no intention of taking over the observation tower. They just sent a small team to clean it up. If it were not for the officers of the observation tower who had just broken through and the knights had not yet transferred,
There are no knight-level experts here, and the lookout should have been captured by the orcs just now.
"Ready the five horses and ask the five youngest men in the castle to come over."
"Yes, Captain!"
There is no shortage of horses in the Golden Dragon Kingdom, especially ordinary light horses. Even this lookout has a few horses.
Soon five young soldiers appeared in front of the captain. The youngest of these people was only sixteen years old, and the oldest was only nineteen. In modern society, they can only be regarded as children who have not grown up, but in modern society.
In this era, joining the military is quite normal.
Time was urgent, so the captain did not say anything more and directly ordered:
"The five of you will ride south, spread out, and find a way to return to the pass and pass back the information about the orcs."
The captain's order was a bit strange. It seemed that passing the order was of little significance at this time, but their instinct to obey military orders still made them answer immediately:
"yes!"
Only the older soldier continued to ask with some confusion:
"We're out, captain, you guys..."
"Execute the order! There are so many problems!"
"yes!"
Most people also realized what the captain meant, but no one had any objections to the captain's arrangement. The hundreds of people in this lookout have lived and ate together here for several years. It is not an exaggeration to say that their relationship is as close as brothers. Most of them
The old soldiers looked at these young people as if they were their own descendants or little brothers. They could accept it if they could give them a chance to survive.
Several young soldiers also reacted and wanted to say something, but they were urged and driven away by the captain in the name of military orders. The gate of the observation tower slowly opened, and several young soldiers finally left on horses.
They didn't even dare to look back at this time. The orcs were nearby. Riding out on horses didn't mean they would definitely survive. If they bumped into the orcs' wolf cavalry, these ordinary light horses might not be able to outrun them.
.
On the other side, the orcs' forward army.
A banner regiment of orc forward troops is clearing the way for the army.
"Master Banner Leader! Humanity has basically abandoned all the lookouts outside Longxi Pass. There are still human defenders in some lookouts who have not had time to retreat. We are organizing an attack!"
"As soon as possible, don't delay the progress of the army's operation."
"Yes, sir!"
"Master Flag Commander! The southern lookout has encountered fierce resistance from humans! It has not been captured yet!"
"what happened?"
When the orcs cleared these watchtowers guarded by no more than a hundred people, they were almost overwhelming. They didn't need any complicated siege equipment. With a few long ladders set up and a few people rushing up, they could basically declare that the watchtower had changed hands. This was still him
This is the first time I heard from my subordinates that I didn’t win.
"There is a human knight on the lookout, and the soldiers above are resisting very tenaciously."
"Move the several hundred-man troops around and capture it as soon as possible without delay!"
"Yes, Lord Flag Commander!"
Soon hundreds of orcs surrounded the watchtower that had just defended the next round, and the battle began again. In front of the orc army, the watchtower was like a stone dropped in the rushing tide, just swinging.
There was a circle of water splashing, and it quickly subsided.
An army of millions of orcs began to march towards Longxi Pass following the pioneers who opened the way.
In the afternoon, the orcs launched a tentative attack on the main pass of Longxing Pass...
