General Keenst watched hundreds of meters away, and tens of thousands of orc soldiers rushed to the Thor fortress like a tide. Although most of the orc ’s siege equipment was destroyed by human stone throwing vehicles, the faces of those orc soldiers could not be seen. Frightened, they rushed toward the Thor Fortress in a mess. They didn't even think about how to climb the wall of the Thunder God Fortress that was nearly ten meters high, as if their goal was to die under the Thunder Fortress.
"One hundred thousand cowards are not as good as ten thousand fearless warriors." General Keenst said softly a famous quote from Fernando I. His voice was very low, even the adjutant Hans standing beside him didn't hear clearly. While the Hans adjutant was about to ask what General Keenster had said, General Keenster issued another order: "500 meters in front of the target, indiscriminately projecting."
Ten thousand archers loosened the bowstrings in their hands, shot the feather arrows that had pointed far into the sky, and then pulled another arrow from the bladder behind them, put them on the bowstrings, pulled the bowstrings, and shot them ... The sky was suddenly covered by a "black cloud". The shooters stationed in Thor ’s Fortress are the most elite human shooters. They have undergone rigorous training for many years. If they are aiming at the enemy, they can fire an average of 12 arrows per minute. If they do not consider the indiscriminate launch of the target, these The shooter only needs to force the arrow toward the enemy sky, in which case, at least 15 or more feather arrows are shot per minute.
10,000 shooters, 15 shots per minute, that is, 150,000 feather arrows that can take the life of the enemy. The orc attack troops did not have much protection at all. Under such a intensive attack by human archers, the loss was huge, like raindrops. No, it should be said that the feather arrows that are denser than the raindrops fell from high altitude and inserted into the head of the orc. Or the front chest immediately took a life.
The rain of arrows shot by the human shooter covered the entire sky like a dark cloud. The orcs who were attacking were attracted by this sudden scene, and raised their heads to watch. The hundreds of orcs who were the first to bear had no resistance at all, and even did not hum, He was hit by dense feather arrows and collapsed on the ground.
Many orcs carrying self-made wooden shields saw this and immediately raised the humble wooden shield high in front of them, blocking them in front of them to stop the "Arrow Rain" attack. However, the feather arrows fired by the human shooter are too dense. With a small wooden shield, there is no way to completely wrap itself. And the front end of the thrown feather arrow has a sharp arrow, plus In response to the attack force falling from a high altitude, a small amount of feather arrows directly penetrated the rough wooden shields made by those orcs, and directly attacked the head of the orc soldier.
"Ah!" One held up the shield and placed it on top of his head as much as possible to prevent the orc shot by the feather arrow from screaming. A slender feather arrow penetrated his wooden shield and shot Hitting his head, the severe pain caused the orc to no longer hold the shield in his hand. His shield fell to the ground, and the orc covered his sparse hair on his head, and had not done anything. There were seven or eight feather arrows coming one after another, and the whole body fell to the ground with blood.
Another clever orc soldier saw that he had hit several arrows. He was so fierce that he lifted a companion's body from the ground and put it on his head, using his dead companion to stop the arrow rain for himself. He is dead now, and there are only some cattle and sheep. But if he can climb the ten-meter-high city wall and kill a human soldier, he can get a war horse and a good weapon.
Other orcs were inspired by him, and they picked up their companions on the ground, filled with shields, and even a few orc soldiers who did not die were just held up by his companions. The screams from the companions repeatedly aroused the ferocity of the orcs. They issued a series of monosyllabic shouts against their companions' bodies and carried more or less feather arrows on their bodies. Ran towards the Thor Fortress.
Behind these orc soldiers, the advance speed of several siege hammers has also accelerated a lot, because there are many orc soldiers hiding inside the siege hammer, using the thick wooden board of the siege hammer to avoid bow and arrow shooting, and these The orcs pushed these siege devices together, and naturally accelerated their progress.
Many orcs raised their weapons and smashed down the parts of the scrapped stone trucks and siege ladders. Even a wooden board is better than an unprotected charge, and the wooden ladder of the siege ladder is After being completely removed by the orcs, several orcs carried forward and backward and rushed forward. One of them fell with an arrow, and immediately the orc next to him took the ladder and continued to rush forward.
By this time, the 30,000 troops of the Blackhawk clan had less than 20,000 people left, and most of them were more or less wounded, but their fighting was getting stronger and stronger, and the speed of running The sooner he came, he gradually pushed under the walls of the Thor's fortress. In the large open space behind the orc, the bodies of the orc soldiers were lying on the ground, dense bows and arrows were inserted on the ground, and the white tail feathers pointed high into the sky, like a large lush forest. .Mobile phone watch
At this moment, the human shooters can no longer use the projectile to shoot the enemy, but they can lower the firing angle and continue to reap the life of the orc with a more accurate shot, but the bow and arrow that have been shot no longer fall from the sky. The impact is already very difficult to shoot through the orc's body.
"Lord General, the orc is only 100 meters away. I request you again. For your safety and the safety of Thor's Fortress, please enter the command post immediately!" Lieutenant Hans said anxiously in the ear of General Keenster, he even had Signaled to follow the general guardian next to him. If the general still insisted on standing on the wall with few defensive measures, he would force General Keenster away at all costs.
Fortunately, General Keynst didn't persevere anymore, and gave the order of "preparing to fight", and hurriedly took his guards away from the city wall and hid in the solid command post. Under the city wall to the south of Thor ’s Fortress, there is an extremely strong and small fortification built, here is the command post. This small fortress is close to the city wall. Due to the angle problem, it is almost impossible for the stone bombs thrown by the orc army to hit the wall after crossing the wall of the Thor Fortress. How can it penetrate a wall that is at least one meter thick?
When defending against the orcs' attacks, especially in the battle of defending the city with short soldiers, the highest commander of Thor's Fortress will be here to understand the situation and command the battle through the herding soldiers. If the supreme commander is stationed on a relatively weak defensive wall and is facing the wall attacked by the orc army, if the orcish team hits the supreme commander of the Thor fortress, how will the next defensive battle be fought?
When General Keenster withdrew from the city wall, the front line commander, General Clark, assumed the command of the battlefield. He issued a series of instructions in accordance with the order issued by General Keenster:
"The first brigade stepped forward and took over the position!"
The four herald soldiers standing next to General Clark immediately raised the red and white flags in their hands, and quickly passed General Clark's commands to the heraldmen on both sides of the city wall through the slogan. After receiving the instructions, the heralds immediately shouted out loud , Notify the captain standing near them, and at the same time slogan to the next group of herding soldiers on their left or right.
In a few minutes, General Clark ’s orders spread across the walls of the Thor Fortress. A large number of human warriors with sharp iron swords in one hand and iron shields in the other walked neatly to the north of the walls of the Thor Fortress. On the side, he focused on the enemies less than 50 meters away from the wall.
"All the shooters gave up their positions, evacuated from the city walls to rest, and added bows and arrows."
The archers who had just fired in a row immediately withdrew from the first line of defense. Their bows and arrows were not very useful in the battle of hand-offs. Besides, in the previous round of shooting, they had basically shot the feather arrows in the quiver. , It is time to add.
"The second brigade stepped forward and crossed positions with the first brigade to cooperate in combat!"
Groups of human soldiers armed with spears almost trot all the way to the side of the wall. These spear soldiers are good at attacking enemies in the distance. The spear in their hands is at least 3 meters long, plus the length of the arm. Attack the climbing orc. However, the spear warriors have poor protection for themselves, and they need to protect and cooperate with sword shield warriors who are good at close combat and have good defensive capabilities.
"The fourth brigade is on standby and is ready to support!"
A few meters away behind the lance soldiers and sword shield soldiers, groups of soldiers brought in heavy stones and wood, ready to give the enemy a fatal blow.
A long wooden ladder hung on the wall of the Thor Fortress. A orc made a strange noise and climbed up the wooden ladder. He had a leather whip in his hand. This was his son. Something used for grazing, but if this thing is pumped people, it can still roll up a long wound.
The orc climbed halfway with his head raised, and saw the faces of human soldiers popping up on the city wall. The orc lifted the leather whip in his hand and was about to pull out hard, and saw a long shot. After the gun was stabbed, he stood on the wooden ladder, unable to escape at all, and was suddenly pierced in the chest with a long gun.
The spear was vigorously swung by human soldiers. After the orc was severely hit, his limbs were weak. He was unable to catch the wooden ladder by the spear, so he fell straight and fell on his companion. His companion cursed loudly, pushing away the orc that was pressing on his head, grasping the wooden ladder with one hand and climbing up quickly, while the other hand waved the bronze axe in his hand, not on his head. Stopped waving, used to block long spears pierced by human soldiers
