Chapter 1287: "·The Mortality of the Empire · Ten"

The death of a person is a tragedy, and the death of one million people is a statistic.
Stalin (one of the important leaders of the former Soviet Union)
"A hundred thousand cannon fodder is always better than nothing. Can you still count on Pros to give us the four standing legions of his family?" Asassis, who was very open-eyed, smiled and suddenly asked in a condensed voice: "How about the protagonist, did you get in touch?"
"Not yet." Hades, who was hiding in a black robe, said with a solemn tone: "The messengers we sent must first rush to the southern border, and then rush to the Roman city from the southern border. Points, it also takes at least a month."
"After arriving in the city of Rome, it will take longer to travel overseas to find the hero. I estimate that it is a blessing to be able to find the hero before the end of the year; so, it is likely that you will fight alone here for two to three months. "
"It's nothing to fight alone, I'm afraid our army will not be able to hold here and live up to the trust of the hero."
"With the performance of your legion today, it should not be difficult to stay here for three months. How can you be so pessimistic?"
"It's not my pessimism, but you don't know what's inside!" Assassis said with a bitter smile in front of his subordinates: "Today's victory is to use 4,500 barrels of fire oil and 540. In exchange for ten enchanted giant arrows."
"So much?!" Even the disgusting Hades was surprised by this huge number.
"This does not include the consumption of rockets, giant arrows, steel arrows, rolling stones, sapwood, and artillery shells. Do you still think we can hold on for three months?" After a bitter smile, Assassis asked Hades Dao: "How many supplies did you send this time?"
"You don't lack food, you also have water sources. The main items I sent were steel arrows and giant arrows. The amount of fire oil and enchanted giant arrows is not much, which is exactly the same as your consumption during the day." Said, Hardy Si took out two space rings and handed them to Assassis.
After taking a look at the space ring, Assassis paused for a moment and said: "With the supplies you sent, our warehouse has 30,000 barrels of fire oil and 5,000 handles of enchanted giant arrows; for the next battle Speaking of which, this is still a very poor figure."
"This is also impossible. You need fire oil and enchanted giant arrows. The 46th Army also needs it. The Lancet Army also needs it. The Iron-Blood Army also wants it. The problem is the production of the rear. It’s limited, and the average score is certainly not much."
"As for the supplement of these five thousand barrels of kerosene and six hundred handles of enchanted giant arrows, how often can they be delivered?"
"It will take ten days at the earliest." Hades thought for a while and said, "Two thousand barrels of kerosene and 240 enchanted giant arrows per day are already the limit of production capacity; the pitch for refining kerosene is Westminster The Special Chamber of Commerce has long-distance transportation and it is difficult to increase the transportation volume in a short time."
"If the space ring is used to transport asphalt, can it expand the transportation volume and increase the transportation speed?"
"This is not a problem of transportation. It is the low output of asphalt, which caused the Westminster Chamber of Commerce to be unable to meet our needs; the empire's asphalt oil field is only available in the south, and the number is not very large. The output we have now is the entire empire. More than 90%."
Hope that the lost Assassis no longer said anything, and Hades, who knew that the 45th Legion was in a difficult situation, also remained silent; after taking out the contents of the space ring and putting it into the warehouse, Assassis Stride out of the warehouse.
In the early morning of the next day, the sky was not yet bright, and the orc camp outside the city was already in a messy and busy scene; the soldiers patrolling the city wall, after noticing the orc’s movements, did not dare to delay and report the matter to them immediately. McGovern, the head of their division.
Assassis, who was patrolling all the walls, also came to this wall with McGovern; looking at the orc army camp with the beasts outside the city, Assasis said to McGovern: " It seems that there will be another fierce battle today."
"General, our army is now in high morale, no matter how fierce the orc's offensive is, it won't be cheap; plus we have 500 barrels of fire oil and one hundred enchanted giant arrows ready to use, orcs today There must be a body left."
Assassis nodded and warned McGovern: "In any case, the number of soldiers killed in a day should preferably be controlled within 500. Once the number of fallen soldiers exceeds this number, you must report to me in time."
"You will understand at the end."
The orc army's attack did not start in a moment and a half. Assasis only stayed on this wall for a moment before going to other walls; McGovern, who did not leave, was deployed to his commander. Tactics.
Of the five wing teams of the Second Division, the fifth wing team was temporarily transferred to the immediate commander-in-chief, and the remaining four wing teams had a total of 16 brigades; because only six brigades were needed for each battle, so McGovern divided his troops into three.
Yesterday, the six brigades were one, and the six brigades that patrolled at night were another. The four brigades that replaced the patrols today are the third; it is naturally not enough to defend the walls by the four brigades, so McGregor Wen transferred two brigades from yesterday's army.
The construction of the siege tower and siege cone can not be completed in a day or two. All the orc army of the siege tower and siege cone have been lost in yesterday’s attack. When we attack again today, we are back to the previous, only Carrying a ladder to attack.
The orc carrying the ladder to the wall was just within 500 meters of the wall. The commander of the Eastern Crossbow ran to McGovern and asked: "General, the orc formation is very loose today. Our Eastern Crossbow may be difficult. Effectively kill them."
"First three rounds of volley, if the effect is not good, pause shooting, wait until the orc formation is dense before continuing."
"promise!"
"Lean." McGovern called his most trusted confidant and told him: "You transferred a squadron from your squadron to Huoyou. Today we only have 500 barrels of huoyou that can be used. Cannot be used easily."
"It will be clear at the end." Ryan hurried down and transferred his troops.
When the loose orcs entered the range of 300 meters from the city wall, forty-eight oriental crossbows started volley again; however, the giant arrows from this roar failed to effectively kill the orcs, and even several giant arrows shot To the open space.
Then came the second and third rounds of volley. After the three rounds, the commander of the oriental crossbow decisively gave up to continue shooting; the archers who have sufficient reserves of steel arrows are not so saving. No matter what the damage of Jianyu, their attack will not stop.
A wave of arrow rain followed, covering the attacking orcs. Although it failed to kill a large number of orcs with thick skin and flesh, many orcs fell under the arrow rain; when the orcs approached the wall, the wall The defending soldiers on the ground immediately started to roll down the rolling stones and the sapwood.
