The farther the enemy troops advance, the smaller the combat area becomes. Even if they have hundreds of thousands of troops, only 20,000 people can actually fight. However, the orc soldiers are very strong in physical fitness, so there is no problem in fighting one against five. In such a small space, with a few thousand against 20,000, the advantage of the holy army is not obvious.

When Liang Yong donated the vitality spring water to greatly enhance the physical strength of the orc warriors, the battlefield situation was greatly improved. The super physical strength of the orc warriors was enough for them to sustain a whole day of fighting. Every time a warrior is lost, the enemy must stay. Four, five or more corpses.

The seventh day, the eighth day, the ninth day...

The battle situation was at a stalemate, and every day the soldiers were exhausted, and fewer and fewer people came back. When they returned to the city on the ninth day, there were less than 3,000 soldiers, and the other group of soldiers had less than 4,000 soldiers left, plus three There are thousands of reserves. In just nine days, the orc army has been reduced by half. This does not count the injured. Reduction means death.

There are more enemy dead outside the city. Almost 100,000 people have been killed so far in the battle, but this is nothing to them. They still have an army of 450,000. The main force has basically suffered no losses and could overwhelm this place at any time. possible.

The soldiers were complaining, and many generals in Hongdu were also dissatisfied. They complained that Liang Yong had been keeping the reserve team stationary. They had been fighting for five days in a row. The people who were not dead were covered with injuries, but the reserve team was. They ate and drank well all day long and practiced some strange tactics leisurely. Not only did they not suffer any losses, the soldiers who had recovered from their injuries were even incorporated into the reserve team.

At this time, the number of the reserve team has reached 4,000, which is more than the number of soldiers in each squad. Sending the reserve team out to fight at this time will definitely be more effective than their group of remnants, but Liang Yong always just encourages everyone and lets everyone fight. Hold on for a few days, and make it clear that reinforcements will arrive in 12 days. Just hold on for another three days, and resolutely not send a reserve team to play.

At dawn on the tenth day, before the enemy's war drums beat, everyone felt that the atmosphere on the battlefield was different. The heavy depression made people breathless. Suddenly someone shouted: "Look, what is that?"

"Ah, catapults, siege machines, cavalry formations..."

In the early morning mist, the enemy troops came up in darkness. In the front row were huge siege machines with a height of more than ten meters or dozens of meters. There was no sound of war drums or the charging shouts of the soldiers, but this calm advancement made people even more depressed. , as if countless mountains were pressing down on me.

Orcs are natural warriors. Not only are they cold-blooded and cruel to their enemies, they are also crazy and ruthless towards themselves. Although more than half of their number was reduced in the ten days of fighting, the fighting spirit of everyone was not greatly affected. Those who remained were the most bloodthirsty. A group of people have an extremely strong will to fight without encouragement. But now that they see such a terrifying scene, some people are beginning to panic and panic. The opponent is really too powerful, far beyond their ability to bear.

In the past few days, the holy army had taken turns to attack. They were all regular soldier assaults. They never used large-scale siege equipment. This made the orc army think that the opponent did not have such powerful siege equipment in a hurry. Now they realize that it was their fault. It's not that they don't have it but they are using it now. They invested it all at once. They planned to use the bloody war of attrition in the past few days to reduce the combat effectiveness of the orc army to the minimum, and finally launched the strongest attack. .

"No, they can't resist such an attack at all. I will personally lead the charge and burn these wooden frames," Hong said with a serious expression on the top of the city, still tough but no longer confident in this battle.

"Take a thousand elite reserves and remember to focus on harassment and don't act recklessly. If that doesn't work, retreat," Liang Yong reminded him, patting him hard on the shoulder.

"Don't worry, there are no deserters from the orcs," Hong shouted angrily: "Brothers, go away and burn those guys down."

Here Liang Yong also issued continuous orders: "Order the defenders outside the city to hide in the trenches when the enemy is not approaching, and wait for the enemy tanks to approach before attacking."

"The soldiers who are ordered to take turns to take turns will join the battle in two hours."

"All reserves are ready for battle..."

Orders were issued one after another, and the whole castle started to move.

At this time, the enemy's war drums rang loudly, followed by hundreds of thousands of people shouting in unison. The sound alone could set off an energy storm, the earth shook intensified, the enemy's advance suddenly accelerated, and the sense of oppression doubled.

"kill,"

"Avenge your brothers who died,"

"Defend the castle to the death,"

"Go ahead,"

The war drums of the orcs were also beating in unison, and tens of thousands of people shouted together. A team of thousands of people rushed out of the castle, and even counterattacked against the enemy's magic weapon. The strength of the two sides was so disparate that there were 300,000 people standing in front of them. A large army, only a thousand people, wants to challenge all this.

There were four or five fire pots hanging on everyone's waist. At this time, the flames were already burning on the strings. They were just attached to their waists, but they seemed to have no feeling and galloped forward, twice as fast as the war horses. , ten miles away can be reached in the blink of an eye.

"Light cavalry attack," the enemy formation has already had a way to deal with the orcs' attack. Ten thousand light cavalry rushed out from both sides. They were all equipped with scimitars and bows. They shot with arrows from a distance, and slashed with swords when they got closer. Ten horses As a column, attacking the enemy at one time requires them to withstand a series of attacks from ten of them. No matter how strong the orcs are, they cannot withstand it.

Facing tens of thousands of light cavalry, Hong Weiran was not afraid, roared: "Kill," and led his men to rush towards the light cavalry, showing the pride of a strong man who will never return.

500 meters, 400 meters, 300 meters, 200 meters...

100 meters away, the enemy had already begun to fire arrows, and the rain of arrows landed ten meters in front of them. The orcs still continued to charge.

80 meters away, the arrow had already reached their heads, and the two armies would collide in less than half a minute.

At this moment, Hong suddenly shouted: "Let go,"

He raised his hand and threw the javelin. Orc warriors were all javelin masters and could easily throw the javelin a hundred meters away. But this time Hong's target was 80 meters, and the damage was doubled at a closer distance.

After the javelin was thrown, they did not stop at all. While running at high speed, Hong suddenly turned around and rushed towards the enemy trebuchet on the side. Only then did his voice come out: "Turn left,"

"Puff puff puff..." Thousands of javelins rained down into the enemy's formation. Suddenly people screamed and horses neighed, and everyone fell down. The horses in front fell down, and the horses behind them couldn't make enough gestures, and they bumped into each other and fell down.

One round of javelin kills hundreds of the opponent's cavalry, but causes chaos for thousands of people. The attack of the light cavalry is stalled, and the distance between them and Hong is getting farther and farther. No matter how powerful the cavalry is, it still needs the cooperation of people and horses. , there is no way to achieve the flexible turning of the half-orcs.
