Chapter 420: 810 Ambush of the Great Battle

, Dai'er nodded and then pointed at the pastor next to her. "I'm not looking for anything. The stretcher carried your bishop down without a wink.
Several priests ran away in a panic, found a stretcher to carry Silmelia and ran down the city.
Adele looked at their frizzy appearances and was not angry. She grabbed the pastor and scolded: "Where to go, take it to Catherine, can you take care of her? Go and drive the carriage over. This You want me to tell me what do you guys eat?
The priest watched Adele biting her silver teeth in a rage. A picture that is about to tear people apart. Just like the elementary school student who made a mistake, obediently listened to Adele's orders.
Amidst the screaming and killing, the giant beast yelled "Ang" from outside the city. The half-orcs, armed with sophisticated siege equipment, rushed toward the wall of Nedel.
The crossbow arrows and boulders shot from the back of the orcs flew over the walls of Nedel and into the city.
The number of trebuchets operated by the pirates was not large. The stone bullet thrown by the trebuchet, about a foot in diameter, first hit the street behind the city wall, smashing a hole in the road, and then rolling against the wall of the house, easily smashing the entire wall through.
Every time a crossbow arrow or a block of friends flies, the defenders on the city are short-necked. Although the big guy knows that these things basically have no hit rate, but the head is not as hard as a stone, whether it is a huge crossbow arrow or a stone. , They are all rubbing the dead and hitting the dead, watching the thing fly in their direction. No matter how bold they are, they have to avoid three points.
Ignaz observed the entire battlefield from the wall. Although the half-orcs came prepared, the ladders and wooden shields were well prepared, but their numbers did not occupy an absolute advantage after all. There were more than 6,000 militiamen guarding the city wall, which is so much for the defense of the city. A large number of militiamen, led by an experienced regular army, are enough to deal with half-orcs.
The city has sufficient supplies, and there will be a large army coming back to support it. Ignatz really can't figure out why these half-orcs think they can take down Nidel City. Isn't this coming to die.
Ignatz felt something wrong in his heart, but he quickly shook his head to suppress these thoughts, and the Orcs were about to rush up. His current duty was to guard the walls.
Ignatz turned around and shouted into the city: "Those trebuchets are too annoying. Destroy them."
An officer under the city yelled, "Yes, my lord."
The officer turned and ran back to his post, looking at the counterweight stone thrower that was four stories high. There was a simple smile.
The counterweight stone-throwing machine is built with thick wood that no one can hold, and the key parts are all reinforced with fine steel plates. The eye-catching Eagle Company badge on the handle shows that this is another war machine made by Lorraine.
On the ground are neatly placed the counterweight stones needed by the rappeller. Behind the rappeller, there are stone bullets the size of a stone roller. Two people are required to carry the grenadier belt.
A wooden circular track is built on the chassis, and the stone thrower can be turned on the spot.
The distance outside the city has long been calibrated by live ammunition measurement, and the officer has a table of the relationship between counterweight and range.
The observers in the city passed down the distance of the enemy's target, and the officers first chose which stone bullet to use. Then install the counterweight according to the form, and the soldiers pull the winch to lift the counterweight into the air, and load the stone bullets into the grenadier belt.
After all the preparations were completed, the officer yelled "Let it go." The soldier released the hook of the winch attached to the lever, and the 64-foot-long lever lifted up with a "call", as if slowly and quickly toss the boulder into the air.
Under the gaze of all the soldiers, the boulder flew over the city wall and passed over the heads of the crowd who were about to fight. With a muffled noise, he smashed into the back of the orc. The accuracy of the trebuchet is not high. Only one of the six boulders hit the trebuchet operated by the pirates, but even so, it was enough.
I saw that huge stone was like a hammer hitting the milk cool. The trebuchet and the surrounding pirates disappeared in an instant, leaving only a plowed trench and debris everywhere.
Ignatz looked at the land ravaged by the boulder after the Orcs, and was stunned for a while. Open your mouth. At the end only said "Wow!"
The trebuchet adjusted its angle and was about to attack again, but the pirates across from Nedl dragged the ballista to run back, leaving several trebuchets alone waiting to be destroyed.
After half an hour, with a long horn sound, the half-orc left a corpse underneidel's city wall and receded like a tide.
Nidal's defender chased the orc's and shot a few more arrows, then waved his weapon and cheered.
Among the cheering soldiers, Ignatz held his sword in his hand and stared at the orcs returning to the camp.
The officer by his side looked at Ignatz with a solemn expression. Said: "My lord, is there any problem?"
Ignaz said: "Didn't you see it? The enemy is just a tentative attack, and it retreats after a little contact with us.
"Yes, my lord, but according to this situation, even if they press on with all their strength, they will not be able to break through our defense."
Ignatz shook his head and said, "So I'm worried that we can see the problem clearly. The orcs must also be able to see clearly. Since they dare to attack us so boldly, they must have some confidence. We must Beware of what they can do that we can't think of. You go. Pass my thoughts to Her Royal Highness, and go."
The officer raised his hand in salute, jumped off the city wall in three or two steps, took a war horse, and galloped to the Governor's Mansion.
At the same time, on the front of the orc camp where Yigchuan Tswang was watching, Deipoll looked nervously at the Ling Mage lying on the ground.
This tent was sealed tightly. Several oil lamps were lit inside, and a strange and unpleasant smell floated in the tent.
A black mage was raising the head of the necromancer and pouring potion into his mouth.
Necromancer Ji Xuan frowned, his dry skin was sallow, and his body was trembling. The fingers quivered like bird claws.
Seeing the Black Mage stand up, Deipoll grabbed him and asked, "How is the teacher?"
The black mage shook his head in frustration, and said, "The teacher passed out to the Throne of God Seal. I tried all the methods. I just can't wake him up, I don't know what to do."
Deipoll's eyes became hollow. He sighed and said, "God's gaze, the little one Nidel has such a powerful cardinal."
The black magician remembered the dazzling light just now. I felt a tremor in the bottom of my heart.
Death is just a new beginning for the black magicians, and the black magicians reborn from death will only become stronger.
But that ray of light represents complete destruction, and for all the wizards who use dark spells, it represents complete destruction. From time to time, the soul will be burned to fly ash.
The curtain of the tent suddenly jumped open, the sun shone in, stabbing Deipoll's eyes hurt. Then a wide figure blocked the entrance of the tent.
Deipoll put his hands on his eyes to block the sun. Angrily said: "Hurry up and let down the curtain."
Witchin and Tolek froze for a moment. Then with an "Oh", he lowered the curtain and walked into the tent.
"How is the master?" Vichin and Torek asked as they looked at the necromancer on the ground.
Deipole waved his hand irritably, and said, "Don't you see it yourself, the teacher has fainted on the Throne of God Seal."
Witchin and Torek raised their eyebrows, squeezed their fists, but quickly loosened them, stepped forward and patted Deipule's weak shoulders, and said, "Isn't the master still alive? I think nothing will happen. ."
Deipoll sighed and said, "I hope so."
After a moment of silence, Witchin and Torek said in a deep voice: "Today I tested the strength of human beings. If we attack with all our strength, we must be able to hold all of them. When are the people in the city going to act?"
Deipoll frowned and thought for a while. Said: "The enemy still has so many mages who don't solve them, I'm afraid there will be some changes in that time."
Witchin and Tolek shook their heads and said, "But we can't wait anymore. The longer we waste, the more dangerous our situation will be."
Deipule shook his hand impatiently and said: "I know, give them a signal and let them decide when to act. From now on, I will attack Nidal City twice a day to create opportunities for them. When they act, they will Let us know."
Witchin and Torek were overjoyed and nodded again and again and said: "Okay, just do it, I will make the soldiers ready, success or failure once again, Deipoll, we have prepared for so many years, I will not let you down Yes, don't you let me down."
Deipoll raised his head to look at Vichin and Tolék, smiled gently, and said, "Don't worry, we have come so far. There is no way to turn back. We can only win and not lose."
Lorraine panted heavily and walked in front of the team with heavy legs. Now Lorraine had no image at all.
The clothes turned khaki, and the dust was rustling down as I walked, and the military boots made of fine calfskin became crooked. It was full of creases.
The head is like being sprinkled with soil. Knead together with sweat, and become small particles of soil, sticking to the inside of the head, and can't be patted off.
His face was also black. After the sweat on his face was dusted with dust, he rubbed it with a layer of black mud. When he spoke, his white teeth appeared abruptly and funny.
With stubble on his face, Lorraine suddenly looked like a teenager in his early thirties, like an uncle in his thirties.
Especially with the beautiful and pure Vera around me. Lorraine looked even more wretched.
The whole team is also the same as Lorraine, and every soldier can be seen embarrassed, with a haggard face. However, the speed of the march is still very fast, and it has been more than two hundred miles now.
Strict military discipline and training, as well as the mutual support of their comrades, made the soldiers of the Eastern Legion not only created a miracle of rapid marching, but no one left behind.
All the officers and soldiers walked with their heads stuffed. Except for the neat footsteps, there was no sound of the soldiers talking. They all had their eyes open in a daze. Following the back of the person in front of him, there even appeared a god-man who could walk and fall asleep.
The endurance of orcs was originally higher than that of humans. For two consecutive days of marching, the distance from the human legion was getting farther and farther. It was originally thirty miles apart, but now the two sides are already fifty miles apart.
Soldiers can also feel a little relieved, they pile up heavy guys like armored kettles on the mule horse. Just carrying his own weapons on the road.
The two army commanders who followed Lorraine were also terrible. One became an earth monkey and the other became an orangutan. When the three got together, they all looked at each other and laughed.
The only exception is Lou La. After a two-day journey, Vera looked the same as when she was out, except that her face lost a bit of luster due to the dry weather. Even her clothes were spotlessly clean, and she was in good spirits. . Jumped and jumped Lorraine on the way.
Yesterday, I had all the cooking utensils! Later, Lorraine ordered in the afternoon to throw away the few benzenes that were not used for training. Last night all the officers and soldiers were wrapped in blankets and slept on the side of the road. The only small tent left was for Vera. Ra's sleep quality is surprisingly high, although only five hours, there is no sign of sleepiness.
A team of cavalry rushed towards the team with the sound of rumbling horseshoes. The captain jumped off the horse and ran to Lorraine to salute and said, "My lord. It is only fifty miles away from the destination. The position has been completely surveyed. There are four temporary bridges."
Lorraine was overjoyed and said with a smile: "It's done so soon, I thought I got it tonight."
The captain of the cavalry said: "Yes, sir, brothers, someone is not far from there. Although the river has not only the amount of water, we still found a few places where the water flow is gentle and built the bridge."
Lorraine said hello out loud, saying: "This battle is over, your strikers should be considered meritorious."
The cavalry captain stood at attention and said loudly, "Yes. Your lord, for the empire."
Lorraine turned around and shouted at the team: "The last fifty miles, I can sleep until tonight. I'm getting a good night's sleep. Brothers work harder."
The officers passed on Lorraine’s words one after another. The soldiers were happy when they heard it. They walked for fifty miles and walked hard for a long time. When they arrived, they could sleep well, even if they were tired soldiers, for one The temptation to feel full, at this time also cheered up and speeded up the pace.
General Firdoris and Claucho caught up from behind, and both generals seemed relieved at the moment.
General Firdoris said first: "There are only fifty miles left. The half-orcs are also fifty miles away from us. It seems that everything is going well, and the greatest danger has been eliminated.
General Krauchiu rubbed his chin, rolled up black and gray. It fell down rustlingly, General Krauchiu curled his lips, patted his face, and smiled: "Why don't we stop and wait for them? I'm too far away I'm afraid they don't want to chase them anymore. The half-orcs have good stamina. ?I bother."
Lorraine nodded in sympathy, marching is a kind of knowledge, and all of them ran across the mountains and plains like half-orcs, even if the individual endurance is small for a day, they can't go far.
Marching in a neat line like this, the individuals in the team can wield extreme physical strength, and there are historical examples of two feet running over the wheels of a car.
Lorraine said: "Okay, we have to give the orcs a little motivation, or they might not chase after all, so let's sprinkle some bait.
"Bait?" the two generals wondered.
Lorraine said: "Pick up 20 armors. If the quality is a little damaged, throw them to a small spot on the side of the road. Leave them to the half-orcs. Then leave a hundred long spears. Throw them along the way. Throw it if it is broken.
And the dry food we carry, there are extra points along the way. "The second general's eyes lit up, knowing that Lorraine would deliberately show weakness to the orcs behind him. First, Lorraine and the others were almost unable to walk, and the soldiers began to discard their equipment.
General Krauchiu slapped his thigh and said, "Good idea, not only that, but you can also let the soldiers throw away the things they don't need. I'm not afraid that those half-orcs won't take the bait."
After the order was given, the officers began to pick up some surplus materials and discard them on both sides. Humans would not be so stupid to leave something usable for the orcs. Whether it was armor or spear, it was broken and broken before it was still on the ground. .
After the soldiers understood the purpose of this order. He also joined in the excitement, joking and laughing and threw the worn-out stinky boots, rotten socks and other ragged things on both sides.
Half a day later, these things appeared in front of the orc patriarchs, looking at the armor that had been smashed into several pieces, and the spear that had been broken abruptly, a half-orc patriarch knocked on the metal armor, and said: "Such a good thing, Pity."
Another patriarch looked at the orc warrior with a pair of torn boots hanging around his neck and ran past him triumphantly. He smiled and said, "This is a good thing. It means they can't walk anymore."
The patriarchs nodded in agreement, and said, "Let's run a long distance like this, let alone humans, even we half-orcs can't stand it. I guess they will stick to today one day, and tomorrow they won't be able to run.
"How about running? In this way, if you walk for hundreds of miles, the living will be exhausted. I don't believe that they don't stop to rest~EbookFREE.me~ in the past two days. Minions, speed up, as long as you catch up with the human army, all the wine and the women in the human city are ours. This is a lifetime of food and drink."
The orc patriarchs yelled, turned back to their team, kicked the orc warriors to speed up their pace.
Until the sun went down and the sky became dim, Lorraine finally rushed to a valley with the soldiers of the two legions.
The valley is like a round plate, with no heads visible on both sides. It is about ten miles wide. The two sides descend gently, and in the middle is a wide river of about fifty feet. In the afterglow of the setting sun, the river shimmers.
Lorraine looked at the terrain with satisfaction. It was obviously a valley formed by the impact of ice, especially the river in the middle, which just happened to divide the valley in half, and the location was excellent.
Two large, two small, and two simple wooden bridges were built on the river with logs. More than 10,000 soldiers from the two legions were swiftly crossing the river along the bridge and gathering on the north side of the valley.
"This is the burial place of the orcs" Xiao
