At Longxing Pass, after a few days of rest, the orcs once again launched a powerful offensive. The orcs set up a trebuchet and carried out a covering strike on the city. Stone bullets fell like raindrops on the city of Longxing Pass.
Clatter.
However, no matter how many attacks from stone bullets and kerosene bombs it withstood, the sturdy Dragon Breathing Pass remained unmoved. After covering the blow, the orc soldiers launched a large-scale attack.
"kill!"
"kill!"
The thundering sound of killing rang out, and the human soldiers who had been hiding under the cover of stone bullets emerged one after another. The gate of Longxing Pass was crowded with people for a while.
"Fire the arrow!"
"Fire the arrow!"
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh..."
Under the command of the commander, dense arrows were fired at the orcs near the city wall, because there were too many orcs under the city. From the city, they were densely packed like ants. The soldiers who fired arrows did not even need to aim.
Just keep pouring down the arrows in your hand. Longxingguan is absolutely rich in supplies and is not afraid of this waste.
Under the dense arrows, even if the orcs were wearing heavy armor, it was inevitable that a few unlucky ones would fall to the ground after their armor was broken by the arrows. The orcs still left many corpses about a hundred steps away from the city wall.
However, more orcs quickly approached the city wall. Some orcs in the front row even had more than a dozen arrows hanging on their bodies, like hedgehogs. However, their movements were not greatly affected. They still rushed forward carrying siege equipment.
On top of the wall.
"boom!"
"boom!"
The orcs are becoming more and more skilled in siege methods. After the first batch of attacking troops set up ladders to attract a wave of attention, the subsequent wells quickly followed suit. These solid wells could not be destroyed easily, and soon
Soon there were more than a dozen wells approaching the city wall, setting up a path forward.
"kill!"
"boom!!"
In fact, the human defenders have no good way to deal with the siege of the well. They can only deploy some troops in advance according to the advance route of the well. It is best to form a formation at its passage. When the first batch of orc soldiers emerge from the well,
When fighting down, they usually face a forest of spear formations. The defenders will use their numerical advantage to continuously squeeze the orcs' attack space, trying to maintain a local numerical advantage to prevent the orcs from breaking through. The orcs, on the other hand, use their numbers to attack.
Elites in heavy armor opened the way, completely ignoring the dense human spears, and rushed into the crowd with shields on their backs. They did not seek to kill the enemy, but just to disrupt the formation of the defenders and gain space for the following troops to settle.
Normally, the defenders would fight back and forth with the attacking orcs for several rounds. Either the orcs would be blocked in the passage of the well and unable to advance any further, or they would completely disrupt the human formation. After fighting on the city wall, they would be defeated by the counterattacking human reserve army.
Go back and fight until dusk. If you still can't break through, you will retreat amidst the golden sound of retreating troops and end the day's battle.
It's just that today, the orcs' attack was so powerful that it stunned the defenders from the very beginning.
"Chi!"
The dress of an orc warrior who jumped down from the well was no different from that of most of the orc elites. From the appearance, it seemed that his muscles were slightly more developed, and he was stronger than the average orc warrior.
But when he waved the weapon, a streak of fighting spirit swept across from the battle axe. More than a dozen human warriors fell down in response, and some gaps suddenly appeared in the originally dense gun array.
"Yes, he is the royal warrior of the orcs!"
Facing an orc warrior, the defenders in front of them were a little panicked, but they quickly stabilized their formation under the scolding of the officers.
"Hold still, don't retreat!"
"Those who retreat will die!"
"Behind us is the Kingdom!"
"Attack! Drive them down!"
The defenders of Longxiguan, especially those who have experienced several rounds of battles, are all old soldiers who have taken a dim view of life and death. In a sense, the war has made them a little numb.
After a moment of instinctive fear, the leader quickly replenished the queue under the officer's order, and even took the initiative to attack the opponent.
The spears coming from all directions and the sword-shielders rushing up with shields can indeed cause some trouble to the orc warriors, but this is war. The orc warriors did not continue to fight alone after showing their courage, but instead took a moment to fight.
He paused, waiting for more orcs to rush forward.
"Orc warriors! All orc warriors!"
"boom!"
"kill!"
"ah!"
A large group of orc warriors rushed down from the well railing. These orc warriors wearing double-layered heavy armor immediately smashed the defenders' formation into pieces. It was not that the defenders were incompetent in combat, but that these orcish warriors wearing double-layered heavy armor
The orc warriors are really difficult to deal with. Even if they stab you with a spear, they may not be able to penetrate you. You can only rely on your own flesh and blood to delay time.
"Let the reserve team come up!"
"Send the Cavaliers up too!"
"This... Sir, the orcs have just started to attack, do they need to use both the knights and the reserve team?"
The importance of the reserve team is self-evident in battle. For example, Taize always holds three cards in his hand, one is the elite reserve team, one is the mobile high-end force composed of knights, and the other is
The Ogre King's Ring can summon fifty ogre warriors at any time. Originally, Taize did not use the reserve team until the end. This time, he almost immediately dispatched the reserve team and the knights at the same time. No wonder he was next to him.
The officers were a little hesitant.
"Execute the order! This orc attack is not easy!"
"Yes, sir!"
Soon, Taize's order was issued, and the reserve army and knights, who had been recharging their strength for a long time, rushed to the front line at the same time.
It was only after the two sides fought that the viciousness of Taize's vision was revealed. The power used by the orcs this time was almost as strong as the previous rounds of attacks combined. There were nearly ten samurai in the siege team. The samurai
Their combat strength reached hundreds. If these people were distributed among the legions, they could become officers supporting more than ten legions. At this time, they were all regarded as assault forces and invested in the attack on the city wall at once.
The elite reserve team and the knights went into battle together, but they were only able to stabilize the situation. The battle line was still being plundered by the orcs.
At this moment, Taize had already raised his finger. If he could no longer repel the orcs' attack, he would prepare to summon ogre warriors to help him fight.
And just when Taize was paying close attention to the situation on the battlefield, a sudden feeling that made his heart palpitate sent a chill down his back, and his strong premonition ability made him instinctively roll on the spot to avoid it.
"what!"
When he looked back, a black figure appeared behind him. The figure was holding a broken blade, and he was still making a gesture of drawing a knife. Judging from his posture, he just wanted to insert the knife directly into his neck and kill him.
A dead place.
"Shadow Assassin!"
Although Taize is powerful, as a commander, he is not located too far forward on the battlefield. He is surrounded by human soldiers. Logically speaking, he should not be attacked. Even if an orc master wants to force his way to this position, he should have done so long ago.
was discovered.
The elusive figure, coupled with the pitch-black figure, allowed him to quickly combine the black figure that suddenly attacked him with the inexplicable shadow assassin who appeared in the intelligence sent a few days ago.
"clang!"
After missing a hit, the Shadow Assassin quickly sneaked into the figure and launched another attack on Taize. As Taize had been upgraded in previous battles, his strength had already reached the level of the sky. In terms of hard power, he was stronger than the Shadow Assassin.
After being prepared, it is impossible for the other party to succeed easily.
"General!"
"Protect the general!"
Taize was suddenly attacked, and the surrounding soldiers were a little confused at first. Some of them watched the shadow assassins emerge from the shadows. They thought they were hallucinating for a moment, and they only realized after being stunned for a short time.
"clang!"
"Chi!"
"Another one!"
There was more than one shadow assassin who came to assassinate Taize. After several attacks by one person failed, two more shadow assassins appeared, trying to kill Taize by force.
But they obviously misjudged Taize's strength. Although Taize recovered his sky-level combat power not long ago, his combat experience is much higher than this level. He fought with three assassins for a long time without falling behind, and even found an opportunity to counterattack and seriously injured him.
However, Taize was unwilling to let them retreat easily. When the last shadow assassin wanted to evacuate, Taize jumped over regardless and locked the opponent tightly in his arms with a bear hug.
"Come here you go!"
"Hiss..."
Taize's tribe is a barbarian, and he is surprisingly powerful. He captured the shadow assassin and restricted the opponent's movements with huge power. The shadow assassin who was hugged by Taize made a sad and inhuman voice.
Neighing and struggling wildly.
His footsteps that touched the ground began to disappear into the shadows, and his entire figure was still trying to get under. Taize felt that the man he was holding was as slippery as a loach, and even though he had no strength, he was still a little out of control.
"Chi!"
When the opponent was about to escape, Taize no longer considered capturing him alive, and opened the opponent's throat with a single stroke of his sword.
"Lord Taize! The assassin didn't hurt you, did he?"
"fine!"
Looking at the black body on the ground, Taize actually had another worry in his heart.
These assassins appeared at Longxi Pass so quickly. It is very likely that they are not the same assassins as those who assassinated Richard. How many of these guys fell to the ground? If there were more assassins of this strength, they could steal the city directly.
What to fight?
And whether he was the only one who suffered an assassination. If other senior generals in the defenders also suffered an assassination, the consequences would be disastrous. Not everyone has the strength of the sky level to survive and repel the shadow assassin in the hands of the shadow assassin.
"Immediately send someone to Mr. Ross's place to inquire about the situation and ask Mr. Ross to pay attention to his safety. It's best to come and make peace with me!"
"Yes, sir!"
Later, Taize once again turned his attention to the battlefield of Longxing Pass. Although he arranged it well, in the face of the absolute strength pressure of the orcs, the battle to defend the pass was still extremely difficult. This was because Bailong had not been dispatched frequently in the past two days.
.
"Order the 3rd Reserve Flag Regiment to also press forward and drive the orcs down!"
"Yes, sir!"
While using his mobile power again, Taize did not forget to use the Ogre King's Ring directly. Fifty ogre warriors appeared on the city wall. These rough-skinned ogres were stronger than the orc warriors.
Some of them, together with the newly charged troops, finally suppressed the orc attack...
