Chapter 1289: "·The Mortality of the Empire·Twelve"

If a foreign minister desperately promotes his "peace proposition", then you can be sure that his government has formulated a new military expansion plan.
Stalin (one of the important leaders of the former Soviet Union)
Watching the soldiers under his command suffered heavy casualties, even the defensive weapon Eastern Crossbow and Ballista were blown up a lot, and it was unclear whether he was more distressed or angry McGovern in his heart, his eyes were blood red .
At this moment, behind the orc army was a melody that McGovern could not understand; although he could not understand what this melody sang in animal language meant, he knew that it must be the orc empire The most prestigious'War Song'!
The war song sang softly in a low voice, somehow not loud, but clearly sounded in everyone's ears; the tragic and desolate contained in the war song, even if McGovern was not an orc, could feel it.
With the sound of the war song, McGovern had never dealt with the orcs, and he knew that the outcry of the orc army outside the city was about to begin; he endured the sorrow and anger in his heart and began to command the soldiers on the city wall to prepare to receive Come down to fight.
It was too late to count how many soldiers were killed under his command, and how many soldiers lost their fighting power. McGovern transferred four soldiers from the rear directly; in addition to this, various fortification materials were also carried to the city walls by him.
A bundle of enchanted giant arrows, a barrel of fire oil, countless steel arrows, everything that could be moved onto the city wall was ordered by McGovern to move to the city wall; in the face of it, even the fox mage was dispatched Orc army, no one dares to take it lightly.
After the ten-minute war song chanting ended, the eyes of each orc warrior turned blood red; these violent and orc, in the low war song, entered a dreamlike fantasy world.
In this spiritual world, they felt the glory of their ancestors when they became the masters of the continent, the tragic grandeur of their ancestors who did not dare to sacrifice for the survival of their races, and the vicissitudes of the orc clan that survived all kinds of hardships.
A war song ended, abandoning all the orcs with only war intentions in their hearts, roaring their slogans, and launched an attack on the city wall again; this time, the orc had just approached the city wall, and the garrison was ready to go. Smashed a barrel of fire oil.
Faced with the rolling stones, sapwood, and fire oil that fell like raindrops, the orcs who were violent could not be feared. They didn't care how many robes beside them fell at the foot of the wall, just rushed forward, desperately wanting Climb the ladder to the city wall.
Thirty-three oriental crossbows fired enchanted giant arrows, which can obviously kill a large number of orcs in the charge each round, but they have never been able to contain the orc’s offensive; in desperation, McGovern can only do tricks. Reapply, let the archers on the arrow tower ignite the fire oil!
In McGovern's view, the sea of ​​fire formed by no less than two thousand barrels of fire oil, although not as large as yesterday's scale, is enough to drive the fierce offensive orcs back; the reality is that the burning purple flames, Orcs who couldn't retreat into the state of madness at all!
Just like human magicians have different attributes, there are more than one fox mage of the orc; in the orc empire, they have warsong mages specializing in singing war songs, combat mages specializing in casting various spells, and special research new spells. Research mage.
In today's battle, the battle mage casts the ‘cloud of doom’ first, and then the warsong mage sings the warsong. How could the orc army with such a powerful movement not guard against the arrogance of the defending army?
McGovern just ordered to ignite the fire oil that smashed down the city wall. The orc war mage, who had been prepared there, immediately shot and condensed countless things like protective shields, and then shot these protective shields into the fire and the fire. Orc warrior rushing forward.
The orc battle mage who could not extinguish the sea used such an uncomplicated method to help the orc get rid of the threat of the sea of ​​fire; however, another problem appeared, that is, the orc that rushed to the foot of the city wall did not know how to continue Their offense.
The orcs are orcs after all, not every orc ruler has the shrewdness of Prince Sainsbury. They came up with a good way to use the wizard to assist the attack, but they forgot that they used the siege ladder. Made of flammable wood.
The orcs protected by the protective cover can indeed attack the fire, but the siege cloud ladder they have to attack is burned clean by the fire; even the cloud ladder is not there, and the bewildered orcs, what method should be used to continue their Offense?
Because the flames continued to burn, the temperature on the wall quickly rose to a level that humans could not bear; therefore, McGovern had to let his soldiers temporarily leave the wall and evacuate to the city to avoid the high temperature.
Without the rolling stones and 湑木 that were smashed from time to time on the walls, the orcs with inflexible brains adopted a fairly simple and crude offensive method; that is, letting the sturdy pig-headed soldiers rely on the wall to build a meat ladder, and then the body was flexible The kobold warrior climbed the wall of the meat ladder to seize the city gate, opening an offensive channel for the subsequent orcs.
McGovern, who had no knowledge of the orc's actions, didn't find out until the city wall made a strange noise, and he discovered that the city wall with which his own army had withdrawn had already rushed up to many orcs!
Seeing this scene, no matter how high the temperature was on the wall, McGovern rushed out immediately: "The orcs attacked the wall. All the officers above the squadron and the soldiers who were not afraid of death rushed up with me, absolutely not Let the orcs come in!"
The 45th Legion is one of the oldest legions that has followed Bai Feng for the longest time. Its combat effectiveness should not be underestimated; all officers of the squadron level of the Second Division, the lowest strength are intermediate swordsmen. Persist longer at high temperatures.
"Brothers, it's time to defend our homeland, follow me without fear of death!" Captain Lean rushed towards the city wall with a roar.
More than 100 officers at all levels of the Second Division, with more than a thousand brave warriors, rushed to the extremely hot city wall.
Knowing that every officer behind him is the essence of the Second Division, the loss of any one will cause the second division to lose its combat power; but McGovern still rushed up with them without hesitation, because he There is no choice.
More than two hundred kobold warriors who had just climbed the city wall fought against the elite of the second division rushing to the wall; the orcs with protective shields against the high temperature were still very dominant in killing, even McGovern’s personal No one can kill them easily by fencing.
The powerful officers, barely able to maintain a certain combat advantage in the high-temperature fight, but the ordinary soldiers who voluntarily rushed up to them were miserable; their skin exposed in the air was quickly reddened by the high temperature, Severe scorching pain and sweat on their faces made their battles drop a lot, and the casualties were also extremely heavy.
