Chapter six hundred and eleven defending the city 1
"boom!"
"boom!"
"boom!"
The orcs' trebuchets were constantly throwing huge rocks towards the city of Slgrad, and the city walls were smashed with a roar. The orc army completely skipped the so-called testing phase and paused for half a day under the city, waiting for the assembly and arrangement of the siege equipment.
After the completion, they directly launched a full-scale attack. They wanted to seize the opportunity to seize the important city of Sirbuang, which is stuck at the throat of the Jinlong River, before the Northland army arrived, and gain the initiative on the battlefield.
At this time, the orcs were completely suppressing the city of Slgrad in front of them in terms of numbers. The few trebuchets in the city of Slgrad were completely suppressed after a few rounds of counterattacks. The soldiers on the city wall could only hold up their shields as much as possible.
Or stand at the corner to avoid the stones. Although these trebuchets are generally accurate, they cannot hold up too many. There are at least more than 300 trebuchets outside the city, and they are throwing stones and burning fireballs into the city.
If you're a little unlucky, you'll be smashed to the ground without even leaving a whole body.
"Come on!"
"Rush over quickly!"
As the firepower on the city was completely suppressed, the orc army below did not hesitate at all. They pushed the shield cart and carried the sandbags and templates and rushed over. Before launching the attack directly, there was another difficulty standing in front of the orcs.
The moat is more than thirty meters wide. The city of Sirgrad, which is adjacent to the Jinlong River, easily diverts the water from the Jinlong River to the edge of the city, forming a moat that is a headache for all attackers. Fortunately, the spring has not yet reached the flood season, so when entering
In summer, Slgrad's moat can even reach a width of seventy or eighty meters.
A large number of orc warriors rushed to the moat under the cover of shield vehicles, and then quickly threw the sandbags on their backs into the moat. It was impossible for the defenders on the city to just watch them smoothly fill in the soil, use bows and arrows, and use crossbows.
Almost non-stop, they shot at the orc army filling the river. Although the orc warriors were protected by shield carts and wooden vines, they were still inevitably shot down by arrows from the city.
Shield carts and wooden vines cannot completely block the dense arrows, especially some divine crossbows hidden on the city walls. After a frontal hit, their power can directly overturn the shield cart to the ground. There are also streaks of white light mixed with ordinary arrows.
Each of the arrows can successfully kill or seriously injure an orc warrior.
Gru also has more than 300 phantom shooters in his hands. He can shoot orc warriors by name from more than 100 meters away. The hit rate is extremely high. In order to protect the safety of the phantom shooters as much as possible, every phantom shooter
There are two ordinary soldiers holding large shields beside them. They don't have to do anything but ensure the safety of the phantom shooter. They have large shields with both hands, as long as they are not hit by the stones thrown by the trebuchet.
Nothing can threaten the safety of the Phantom Shooter.
In order to capture the city of Sirgrad as soon as possible, the orc army did not take the time to capture some human civilians to participate in filling the river. They directly used their own soldiers to fill the river, which should be done by cannon fodder. Many orc soldiers were
He rushed to the river with a sandbag and let the phantom archer on the city wall kill him with an arrow. He fell directly into the river and became one of the sandbags filling the river. After a while, the cool water in the moat was completely filled.
Dyeed blood red.
"Come forward and speed up!"
Because the phantom shooters were constantly attacking, hundreds of orc warriors fell into the river in a short period of time, and the casualties were greater than expected.
"Master Great Shaman, the casualties of the Five Flags Regiment are a bit heavy. Isn't it a pity that these soldiers died while filling in the moat? As long as we wait for half a day, we can grab some humans from around and let them fill in the river.
, we can suffer fewer casualties.”
Gro and several senior orc generals were also watching the movements of the army on a gentle slope with a better view. Except for the great shaman who had a calm face, the other orc generals did not look good. In order to fill the moat, there were some casualties.
It's so big. Hundreds of people were killed or injured in just a short time. If these people were placed on the Great Plains, they would be enough to directly attack a human castle. Now they are all dead on the edge of the moat. The key is that it has just begun and they don't know they are going to die.
How many people can fill in the form?
Originally, with the protection of the orcs' equipment, the casualties at this distance would not be so heavy, but the Phantom Shooter is indeed an unreasonable unit. Not only can it maintain a hit rate of more than 80% at a distance of more than 100 meters, but it can also hit every target at a distance of more than 100 meters.
The arrows all had an armor-piercing effect, and the main casualties of the orcs were caused by them. Even the casualties caused by more than 20 divine crossbows were just an addition.
"Continue the attack. If the Five Flags Regiment suffers heavy casualties, it will be rotated down, and another regiment will be replaced. This moat must be filled within today."
Grotto directly rejected the other party's suggestion, and also issued an order to increase the intensity of the attack. Time is everything now. Grotto hoped to completely capture the city before the Northland army arrived.
"rush!"
"ah!"
Every moment, orc warriors are shot down by arrows on the city wall, but the speed of filling the river is getting faster and faster. Although the casualties of using orc warriors directly are huge, the benefits are also obvious. First of all, their strength and physical fitness are higher than
Humans are much stronger. They can carry several bags of sandbags at a time. Secondly, they have strong initiative. If ordinary humans were captured to fill the river, they might not dare to be too obviously passive under the supervision of the orcs, but they would never be like the orcs.
The soldiers worked so hard. These orc warriors who kept holding sandbags to fill the river were really squeezing every ounce of their strength just to fill in this damn moat as soon as possible.
"boom!"
"boom!"
"boom!"
The orcs who filled the river were not always beaten unilaterally. The orc trebuchets, which had the absolute advantage, would hit the walls of Slgrad City from time to time. The walls were smashed with holes, even if every phantom shooter was around them.
They were all equipped with two shield-hands holding shields for protection, which could intercept arrows and flying gravel. However, there were still some unlucky ones who were directly hit by stones thrown by the trebuchet. The phantom shooter also suffered sporadic casualties during the orcs' counterattack.
.
When the time lasted until the afternoon, the orcs had already dumped thousands of corpses next to the moat. However, the moat at this time had almost lost its function. The thirty-meter-wide moat forced the orcs to fill it with corpse river sandbags.
On the thoroughfare, more than ten shield carts have been slowly driving along the road filled by the orc warriors. Some orc warriors continue to widen and level the filled-in road against the rain of arrows from the city. They need these filled-in roads.
The road can pass through large equipment such as ladders and wells.
"General Gru, these orcs are really good at fighting."
"Except for not having Behemoths and Cyclops, they are actually no worse than barbarians."
Seeing the orcs filling up the moat in front of them, Gru and Taize did not panic at all, and were in the mood to comment on the orcs' combat prowess.
"Get ready, it was just an appetizer, and the real meal will come next."
"Hey, it's time for them to try Somla's methods."
...
outside the city
As the moat was filled up, the orcs also launched a full-scale attack. From the beginning, they were besieged on all sides. Two legions launched an attack in each direction. Four or five legions were waiting to rotate behind, taking advantage of their strength to the extreme. One hundred
The multi-headed white dragon also appeared from the orc army at this moment, pretending to be ready to join the attack at any time.
The human soldiers also stood on the city wall. At this time, the orc trebuchets had stopped firing in order to avoid accidental damage. The city of Sirgrad was faced with a densely packed and countless number of orc warriors.
"kill!"
"kill!"
"Charge forward! Kill all those humans!"
The fastest-moving orcs have followed the shield chariot to the city of Slgrad. Due to the urging of the commander behind them, they can't even wait for the well railing behind to come up and jointly oppress the defenders on the city wall. Instead, they use their hands first to
The simplest long ladder with hooks is set up on the battlement. One person presses the bottom of the ladder, and the following person holds up a shield and rushes up.
"Golden juice, golden juice!"
"Fall down for me!"
"If you don't pour it down for a long time, do you want to keep it for yourself?"
"boom!"
During the battle, the human commanders also seemed particularly irritable. When they saw a few soldiers carrying gold juice moving a little slower, they couldn't help but curse. Fortunately, the soldiers in the city were also veterans of Longxing Pass, so they were used to it.
These officers were so vulgar that they didn't feel nervous even after being scolded a few times, and quickly poured the golden juice down the long ladder.
"Zizzi..."
"ah!"
Apart from being smelly, the boiled gold juice was no different from boiled oil. The orc soldiers who were soaked were immediately burned and screamed. After climbing a few steps, they couldn't help but fall down in pain.
Then, the soldiers on the city wall simply used torches to set the entire long ladder on fire. For this kind of long ladder hooked on the city wall, there is basically no need to try to overthrow it. Direct destruction is the best option.
The defense of Sirgrad City is quite well prepared. Gru is leading the army, and among the heroes there are heroes like Taize who are good at defense. It can be said that under the current conditions, they spent a month to defeat the defense of Sirgrad City.
The city defense was extremely well done. Among the dozens of long ladders that were put up on the city wall in the first batch, not even a single orc warrior managed to climb up the long ladder. He was either half-cooked by the fire oil and gold juice, or was directly hit by stones and wooden bars.
Smash it down.
"The great shaman has an order!"
"The great shaman has an order!"
"The first person to climb the city wall, regardless of his status, will be promoted to three levels if he survives. He will be assigned a thousand livestock and a thousand acres of land. The great shaman will directly accept him as his disciple... If he dies in battle, his descendants will enjoy it.
!The great shaman will personally teach his children."
As soon as the attack was thwarted, the great shaman began to draw a big pie. Not to mention the financial rewards for upgrading to level three, being accepted as a disciple by the great shaman and teaching him personally was a big deal for ordinary soldiers and even middle- and lower-level officers.
It's a step to the top, and this reward can be inherited by your children, which means that as long as you are the first to rush to the city wall, even if you only survive on the city wall for one second, your descendants will basically enjoy it endlessly.
Facts have proved that although the trick of drawing a pie is old-fashioned, it is indeed very useful. The orc warriors carrying the long ladder seemed to have been suddenly given a shot of blood, their eyes were red and they were wailing as they rushed up. As more and more people came up,
The orc warriors rushed to the bottom of the city wall, and more and more long ladders were built up. The pressure on the defenders began to gradually increase...
