Chapter 546 [Bloody Battle!]

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

Heavy drumbeats sounded one after another, and each drumbeat seemed to hit the hearts of the imperial soldiers on the city wall. The drumbeats gradually became more urgent and became like a reminder.

The orcs' shouts became no longer chaotic, and several black phalanxes let out neat and rhythmic shouts.

Roar! Roar! Roar!

Standing on the city wall, the soldiers of the empire seemed to be able to clearly see the white gas emitting from the monsters' mouths and the ferocious faces.

"Baistin! Show the bravery of our orcs!!"

Standing on the high platform of the camp, Rhinoceros King Rock, one of the giants of the orcs, roared loudly.

Just below the stage, a giant rhinoceros man who was more than two heads taller than the surrounding orcs immediately roared. This rhinoceros named Bastine is one of the leaders of the Ox Tribe who is deeply trusted by Rock. He is a hero.

Good at fighting, he is the most powerful leader among the Ox tribe in training and commanding warriors.

Different from the ordinary cattle tribe, this rhino man named Bastine is an extremely rare white rhinoceros among the orcs. His rough skin is covered with hard horn, and even a sharp blade cannot cut into it.

skin! What's more, it is now covered with a thick layer of iron armor, and the rhino horn on the tip of its nose is pierced with a huge silver metal ring. This is a noble bloodline among the rhinoceros family.

and a status symbol!

As for the thick body, in addition to its thick natural skin, it also possesses more terrifying power than ordinary rhinoceros warriors. After receiving the order from the rock, Bastine roared and grabbed his own.

The weapon was a nearly two-meter-long mace full of iron spikes. He ran out in large strides.

The battle begins immediately!

Bastine is a well-known warrior and commander among the orcs. He ran to the front of the team, raised his right hand high, and roared loudly with a thick voice: "Prepare the stone cannon!! Adjust the angle!!"

Under the row of catapults outside the camp, the cattle warriors immediately got busy, loading the polished round boulders piece by piece onto the launcher. Other cattle warriors nervously adjusted their angles.

The catapult was pushed forward a certain distance again, and the wooden wheel underneath was pressed against the heavy stone, making a creaking sound.

"Pay attention to concealment!!! Catapult attack! Stay at your post! No one else will enter the tower!!!"

Milo was still standing at the highest point of the city tower. Behind him, on the city wall, a thorn flower flag symbolizing the empire was fluttering in the morning wind.

Bastine saw the armored human on the distant city wall. The guy stood on the highest point of the city tower without any hesitation, and even stepped on the wall.

Bai SiTing opened his mouth and laughed ferociously, then raised his arm high and swung it down hard!!

Intensive roars suddenly sounded from behind it! One by one, the catapults launched huge stones towards the human city wall!

Dozens of arcs were suddenly drawn in the sky, and as heavy stone bullets hit the city wall one after another, there was a roar like a mountain collapsing and the earth cracking!

This Kaspersky room of mankind is built extremely solidly. Those stone bullets that hit the outside of the city wall can only crack the wall on the outside of the city wall. The stone fragments burst out and scattered in all directions, but the main body of the city wall remained motionless.

.

But some stone bullets landed on the city wall, immediately smashing many human soldiers who were still standing at their posts to pieces! The stone bullets were each nearly two meters in diameter. And they were still there.

The dwarf's superb craftsmanship polished it into a round shape. Once it landed on the city wall, it would not only smash the wall into pieces, but if it landed on the city wall, it would roll with inertia! Amidst the screams,

The soldiers on the wall were unable to dodge, and were immediately crushed under the rolling boulders, turning into a ball of meat!

"Look for cover!!!!" General Milo's majestic voice still sounded from the highest point of the city building. When the wall of the main fortress of Kaspersky's defense line was built, enough design was left to deal with enemy slings!

The towers at regular intervals on the city wall became fortifications for soldiers to take shelter, and more and more soldiers crowded into the towers in large numbers.

Those towers are made of the strongest monolithic boulders, and are fully designed in terms of resistance to attack, and... the catapult, an ancient heavy siege weapon, although powerful, is huge.

The drawback is that the accuracy is very low!

Even the best warriors can hardly control the impact point of stone bullets, so they can only use dense coverage to kill the enemy to the greatest extent. It can be said that weapons like catapults are not about technology, but about skill.

Fighting for character.

Following a wave of projections from the orc army, hundreds of stone bullets were blasted towards the human fortress! The city walls were cracked everywhere, looking miserable, with stone debris flying everywhere, and screams one after another.

However, after the orcs ended this round of projection, although the human city wall seemed to be covered with wounds, in fact, the main building had not moved at all, and the bursting of some stone chips on the surface did not reduce the defensive ability of the city wall much.

Just some stone bullets that were thrown into the human fortress crossed the city wall and landed in the city. The huge round stone bullets rolled up after landing, but they caused some unexpected trouble to the humans.

When the dust gradually dispersed, General Milo still stood proudly on the city wall!

The human soldiers who had taken refuge in the tower also rushed out again. For a while, the city wall was crowded with densely packed human soldiers. It was not known who picked the first one. The human soldiers began to laugh loudly at the orc army in the distance.

He stood up and shouted curses one after another, seeming to be mocking the other party.

"Haha! Monsters are monsters!!"

"Did you see that? Grandpas haven't even lost a hair!!"

"Do you only know how to throw stones?"

Some soldiers simply lifted up their leather armor, turned around, slapped their buttocks hard at the orcs in the distance, and made various actions to humiliate them.

The human soldiers on the city wall were shouting and laughing almost crazily. This was a way to encourage their own morale.

Although the orcs in the distance didn't understand what the humans were shouting about, they were also angered by the actions of the human soldiers.

At this time, Milo, who was standing high on the city wall, had already issued an order.

"Let those savage monsters who can only throw stones have a taste of our power! Prepare the ballistae!"

As his order was conveyed quickly, from the towers on the city wall, the elite heavy ballistas equipped by the empire were pushed out. From the stomping mouths of the towers, giant crossbow arrows were fired one after another like steel thorns.

It also protrudes from the city wall.

"Aim their slings!"

The gunner of the ballista immediately began to adjust the scale on the ballista. These precision heavy weapons made by humans are naturally much more advanced than the primitive catapults. The experienced gunner aimed the ballista at the opponent's targets in the distance one by one.

A sling thrown behind the phalanx.

After a moment, humans launched their powerful counterattack!

On the city wall, in the stomping mouth of the tower, dozens of ballistae were fired at the same time. In the sky, dozens of huge crossbow arrows flew out! These giant ballistae use the mechanical elasticity of the noose to launch, with the longest range.

The distance can reach about 1,500 meters. It was originally a sharp weapon on naval warships. It can easily pierce the enemy's hull at a distance of 1,000 meters! This shows how powerful it is!

More importantly, the accuracy of these ballistae is much better than that of ancient trebuchets. Under the control of experienced gunners, the accuracy of the crossbow can reach more than 30%, which is better than the catapult that can only use covering bombardment to pursue lethality.

The weapon is naturally many times stronger!

Dozens of giant crossbow arrows flew out powerfully. The metal crossbow arrows reflected in the sun and streaked across the sky, like dozens of meteors!

As the humans on the city wall let out bursts of cheers and shouts, they saw the slingshots in front of the orc formation in the distance. They were hit one by one!

Obviously, this time, humans are far better than orcs in terms of character! Usually the accuracy is only about 30%, but today it is as high as nearly 50%!

With huge impact, when the crossbow arrow hits the opponent's sling, the powerful force can immediately penetrate several wood of the opponent's sling! Then with the roar, the tall sling suddenly collapsed.

In the orc camp, Bastine and many orc soldiers roared angrily. However, they were unable to do anything against such long-range weapons of humans.

Looking at the cheering humans on the city wall, Orc General Baistin waved his hand fiercely: "Attack! The front team sets off and fills the enemy's trenches!"

The drums sounded again, and with a burst of shouting, the first two rows of warriors in the orc queue were holding various things in their hands, including sacks filled with soil, huge stones, or some discarded wood. In the orcs' queue,

Amidst the sound of the advancing drums, there was a roar and a fierce roar. They rushed towards the human city wall!

Milo, who was on the tower, immediately turned his face and shouted loudly: "Archers, prepare!"

"Archers prepare!"

"Archers prepare!!"

In this era of cold weapons without battlefield communication systems, the commander's orders can only be conveyed through the shouts of each soldier.

Under the inside of the fortress wall, humans have gathered more than two thousand archers. They formed a standard three-row queue. After receiving the order, these elite archers of the Storm Legion immediately took off their long swords in neat movements.

bow!

Every archer in the human army is ready. Each of them maintains absolute silence and has a resolute expression. The standard equipment of each archer is a pair of military bows made by the Imperial Army and a suit of leather armor.

, the dagger at the waist, and fifteen iron-spine heavy arrows.

At this moment, five arrows were planted on the ground in front of each archer. After hearing the order, the three thousand archers immediately used unified movements to pull out a heavy iron-spine arrow from the ground in front of them.

Arrow coming.

Then, three thousand imperial archers drew their bows and nocked arrows.

At this time, the order soldiers of the imperial army who had been standing on the city wall to observe the position of the archers roared loudly with strong voices, conveying the news of the enemy.

"The enemy is close!! Eight hundred meters!! The sky is 40 degrees! Projectile!!!"

Buzz!!

Three thousand bowstrings vibrated at the same time, making a terrifying buzzing sound! Following this sound, countless sharp arrows soared from the inside of the fortress wall like flying locusts, and rushed toward the sky in dense numbers!

Thousands of sharp arrows rushed into the sky instantly. In a moment, it was like a dark cloud rising into the sky. This dark cloud almost blocked the morning sun! Then, with the inertia, thousands of sharp arrows shot out one after another.

Falling like raindrops all over the sky!!

The orcs' stormtroopers were running hard, breathing heavily, holding heavy sacks, rocks, wood, etc. in their hands.

But before they could get close to the human trench line, a hail of arrows fell from the sky!

Immediately, the rain of arrows, which was like dense rain and dark clouds, accurately covered the heads of the orcs' charging suicide squad! In just a moment, the orcs at the front fell down like wheat!
