When the orcs finally withstood the long-range attacks of the phantom shooters and magic mages, and experienced the baptism of fire oil and rolling logs before scaling the city wall, they faced the prepared elites of the Northern Route Army and the Crusaders led by Ron. Army soldier.
These crusaders with peak knight-level strength were placed on the city wall by Gru as the fulcrum of the entire city defense. More than two hundred Crusaders stabilized the entire city defense like nails. The orc soldiers poured down from the well. He would be hacked to death within ten seconds even if he stood on the city wall.
These Crusaders not only have the strength of the peak knight level, but also have outstanding battlefield swordsmanship and fighting experience. Their killing efficiency is much higher than that of ordinary noble knights. When more than two hundred Crusaders were distributed on the walls of Longyi City After the attack, the entire city defense became like an iron barrel. Several orc warriors led by Jinglan rushed up and could not shake the Crusaders at all. With the cooperation of multiple Crusaders, these orc warriors were not too many. After holding on for a few seconds, he was chopped to the ground.
As soon as the stronger orc warriors landed on the city wall, they would face more terrifying opponents. When such masters came to stand on the city wall, Gru, Rhodes and others did not mind giving them a lift personally.
The entire Longyi City wall became like a black hole devouring life. The orc warriors who finally rushed up the city wall through ladders, wells and other equipment were hacked to the ground before they could even make waves on the wall. Most of them were forced directly off the city wall, so that the orc attack came to a brief stagnation.
And everything that happened on the city wall was clearly seen by Sean. There were surprisingly many human knight-level experts participating in the defense of the city, and there were even at least legion commander-level experts who took action to suppress the powerful warrior-level warriors on their own side, resulting in an attack. The soldiers who climbed up the city wall were completely unable to stand, and as many as they climbed up died.
"Is this the reason why you gave up Dragon Scale Castle?"
At this time, Sean also somewhat guessed the intentions of the human army. The human officers on the opposite side were very arrogant. The other side did not rely on Dragon Scale Castle to block their way out of the northern dense forest, but chose to withdraw voluntarily after holding on for a period of time. The strong walls and clear fields on the road led him to Longyi City.
He wanted to use Longyi City to attract his own attack, and then use the ambush army to counterattack after his own team was exhausted, and completely eat up his own people. However, the other party seemed to underestimate the combat effectiveness of the orcs, so this time he had to Make the other party self-defeating.
"Order the siege troops not to hesitate to continue the attack. Let the ninth legion of the Praetorian Guard and the eleventh legion of the Praetorian Guard attack from the east and west sides of the city respectively. The attack is not allowed to stop for a moment."
"Yes, sir!"
Humans dared to gamble with him on the safety of Longxing Pass. He, Sean, was not a timid general. Although he was a little more awake at this time, he realized that this was probably a trap set by humans, but he did not consider retreating. Instead, they directly stepped up their offensive efforts, hoping to directly capture Longyi City with their superior numbers and combat power.
"In addition, let the wolf cavalry group search the surrounding area for ten miles to look for suspicious human troops. If any are found, report them immediately."
"Yes, sir!"
Between Dragon Scale Castle and Dragon Wing City, except for a few military forts, there is a large plain. It is not that simple to ambush the army. The human commander wants to use Dragon Wing City to attract him to attack, and then ambush the army to attack from behind. Then He just thought it was simple. The thousands of wolf cavalry in his hands were not just for food. How could they be so easy to make a surprise attack?
The only thing worth noting is the food route for his more than 200,000 troops. When the northern jungle was controlled by the orcs, there was a lot of food stored in the villages including Yandong Mountain, but the northern route
It was impossible for the army to leave food for the orcs when they retreated. What could be taken away was taken away, and what could not be taken away was directly burned. The area of the northern dense forest recovered by Xi En was basically turned into a wasteland by the retreating northern army.
Maybe the only place to store some food is the secret warehouse in the forest left by Qilwei before, but that kind of small food warehouse is not enough to supply an army of several thousand people, let alone Xi En's army of more than 200,000 people.
All the supplies for a large army have to be transported from Huangshi City. There are more than 200,000 orc people responsible for transporting food and grass for the army, which is equivalent to the number of soldiers in the army.
The grain road extends from Huangshi City to Longyi City, stretching for two to three hundred miles. There are also extremely difficult mountain roads to walk. If it is disturbed by humans, there may be a crisis of food shortage.
However, he has an entire flag regiment of wolf cavalry at his disposal. He should not be afraid of humans cutting off his food route on this plain. As long as there are no problems with the Dragon Scale Castle, the army's retreat will be safe.
Thinking of this, Sean was ready to patch up his retreat, so he ordered again:
"Order the Third Wolf Cavalry Flag Regiment to dispatch a thousand riders to garrison Dragon Scale Castle. Be sure to be on alert around Dragon Scale Castle to ensure that Dragon Scale Castle and the food route are safe."
Soon, as Sean's order was issued, new movements appeared in the orc army. Several legions came out separately, pushing a large number of siege equipment and began to approach the wall of Longyi City. Longyi City does not need Dragon Scale Castle, it is a
A large city can station more soldiers, which also means that it has a larger defensive area. After the first round of trial attacks, the orcs no longer hesitated and directly launched a full-scale attack. Tens of thousands of troops launched from three sides of Longyi City.
Fierce attack, the so-called boundless force once people pass by, the tens of thousands of orcs moved, completely forming a black and green ocean. They pushed various siege equipment to approach the city wall slowly, like waves, trying to
Overwhelm Longyi City.
However, in the face of the orcs' big move, the system soldiers and heroes in the city hardly showed any emotion, and they just looked calm and prepared to face the next attack.
Their calmness even affected the ordinary Duolongyi City defenders. Most of them were infected by the system soldiers around them, and the fear in their hearts was slightly reduced.
"The orc commander has finally made up his mind."
Not only was Gru on the city wall not frightened by the orcs' massive attack, but he also showed a relaxed smile.
He was afraid that the orcs would give up the attack on Longyi City and choose to retreat, thus losing his chance to annihilate the orc army. Now that the orcs have launched a full-scale attack, it means that the orc commander on the opposite side cannot withstand the attack on Longyi City after all.
The temptation of the city makes me want to give it a try.
As long as the other party can't help but want to eat this poisonous bait, they will be completely trapped. Next, keep it so that they never come back.
"Let the halberdiers and war dancers not come up as reserves for the time being, and continue to stand by without my order. Put the orcs up a little to give them a little hope?"
"Yes, Lord Gru!"
Gru was afraid that the defenders on the city wall would be too busy, so he directly asked the orc commander to change his mind and lead the army back. He tried to give the opponent a feeling that he could break through Longyi City with more effort, even with the power in his hand.
They were all used with some reservation, and several hundred halberdiers and war dancers were used directly as reserve forces.
Then, Gru turned to Sir Mrak and said:
"Sir, it's your turn to take action. After gathering with Ms. Tallis, we will proceed according to plan A."
"hey-hey."
Sir Mrak, who had been standing on the city wall watching the battle, smiled when he heard this and nodded to Gru.
"Leave the rest to me, General Gru."
For this battle, Gru made several plans. Plan A was the plan used when the war was going smoothly. When Sean decided to launch an all-out attack to capture Dragon Wing Fort, he successfully entered the rhythm of Plan A.
Among them, Mrak will use his speed advantage to lead three outstanding swordsmen in Longyi City, dozens of Silver Pegasus knights and more than a hundred gryphon knights to bypass the main force of the orcs and fight with the people who have been in the city.
Outside Taris, Xi Aier and the others met up, went straight to the Dragon Scale Castle that had just been occupied by the orcs, cut off the food routes of the more than 200,000 orcs, and ate them in one bite.
Being commanded by Gru, M'lak didn't feel uncomfortable at all. When he was on the continent of Erathia, Gru was his superior. This was not the first time he was commanded by Gru. He naturally took the order and led three outstanding swordsmen.
He and the flying troops left from the south, bypassing the orc army and went to join Talis and others.
Gru, on the other hand, was still firmly entrenched in Longyi City with his leadership, waiting for the orcs to come up and hit their heads and bleed them.
…
In the dense forest in the north, in a mountain stream
The water rushes down from a high place, bringing with it the sound of gurgling water. Because it is covered by the mountains, entering here through the dense forest trail in the north will feel like you have strayed into a paradise. However, the originally peaceful mountain stream is now filled with human beings.
Soldiers, thousands of human soldiers were stationed in this mountain stream, making this mountain stream area that was not spacious seem particularly crowded.
"General Elena, it has been ten days. The dry food the soldiers carry will not last much longer. If we don't take action, we will run out of food."
"The kobolds discovered the orcs' food route a few days ago. It is only a day's journey from us. If there is no food, we will rob the orcs' food. We will not starve to death here."
"Now this dense forest is full of orcs. If we attack the orcs' food road, I'm afraid we will be surrounded and suppressed by the orcs the next day."
"We are not 100% sure of lurking here. We can just wait for news from General Gru."
"Yes, General Elena."
An entire flag regiment, nearly 5,000 human soldiers, was stationed in this mountain stream. Gru had already considered this when he withdrew his troops from the eastern plateau. He left a son in this mountain stream, led by Elena and the general of the North Route Army.
Alsi leads an elite flag regiment lurking in the dense forest.
In order to hide in the dense forest in the north without attracting the attention of the orcs, they didn't even light a fire. They ate some fried dry food every day and stayed here for ten days without being discovered by the orcs. If they were in the north
The orcs in the dense forest are still the same legion that has been stationed for a long time before. They may not be able to hide for that long. After all, the other party is more familiar with the terrain.
However, the army brought by Sean was even more unfamiliar with the terrain and could only walk along the main roads marked on the map. Since they wanted to launch an attack on the northern line of Longxing Pass, they did not have the time and strength to investigate the dense forests in the north. However, these five
Thousands of people miraculously hid.
These hard-wearing elite warriors have been lurking in the woods north of Dragon Scale Castle, waiting for the opportunity. Even when Sean led his army to attack Dragon Scale Castle, they did not move. They have been waiting for a more suitable time to take action.
Now that the main force of the orcs has left Dragonscale Castle and rushed towards Longyi City, the role that their team can play is getting bigger and bigger.
At this time, a blue-white wind bird flapped its wings and flew into Elena's hand. This kind of bird flies fast and is extremely spiritual. Once it is matured, it can easily find its owner. It is simply used to pass through.
The perfect choice for conveying information, it is much more powerful than the homing pigeon that Richard was familiar with in his previous life.
Even system heroes like Gru and Elena find Wind Bird very easy to use.
Elena, who took the letter from Wind Bird, read the note:
"It's time for us to be able to play our role. Now we don't have to worry about insufficient food and grass."
"Hmm? Did Mr. Gru get any orders?"
"General Gru ordered us to immediately advance to Dragonscale Castle, capture Dragonscale Castle, and cut off the orcs' retreat."
"But, Lady Elena, Dragon Scale Castle is definitely not that easy to take down."
General Arcee, who serves as deputy general next to Elena, is also a veteran on the battlefield. He naturally understands the importance of Dragon Scale Castle to the orcs. After ruling out the possibility that the orc commander is a fool, it can be deduced that the orcs are absolutely in Dragon Scale Castle.
With a strong defensive force, and with their team of 5,000 people, there might be a chance of survival if the orcs' food road is besieged. However, if they try to recapture Dragonscale Castle, it will probably be a lifeless road.
"We are not the main force in attacking Dragon Scale Castle this time."
"Sir Mrak has already led a portion of his bodyguards toward Dragonscale Castle. We need to speed up. General Arsi will go down immediately to rectify the army and set off in an hour!"
"Yes, General Elena!"
The so-called personal guard is actually what the system army calls the outside world. This powerful and mysterious army has always been considered to be Richard's personal guard. Sir Mrak is also an old acquaintance who has fought alongside Alsi. Hearing that Mu
After Sir Lark came with his personal guards to join him in action, Arcee no longer hesitated and immediately began to greet the troops in the mountain stream.
In less than an hour, the army had been assembled. Elena and Arcee did not do much mobilization. They only told them that they were preparing to steal the orcs' escape route. After the war, they could remember their first contribution and immediately mobilize the team.
The morale was boosted, and the army rushed towards Dragon Scale Castle...
