249 Siege
The main reason why the pig-headed Ni leader Xuan'er and the tauren leader Handol were unwilling to work hard before was that even if the war was won, the lion general would take away one-third of the spoils even if he did not contribute much.
One, now that everyone has said that all the spoils are theirs, of course they are in high spirits.
"Okay, general, we will destroy that city this time and let those damn humans know the consequences of resisting our army!"
Ni Xuan'er replied with a sinister smile...
At the same time, Xiao Feng had already led the ambush team back to the base along the river.
The journey went very smoothly, and the morale of the human soldiers was much lighter than when they came here. The laughter of the soldiers could be heard everywhere on the ship. Obviously, the success of the ambush had improved the morale of the human soldiers a lot.
Xiao Feng was relieved when he saw such a scene. His goal was finally achieved.
Otherwise, if an army of ten thousand orcs came to attack the city, they would have to rely on two thousand soldiers with low morale to defend the city wall. Even if their thermal weapons were powerful, they might not be able to defend it.
Bilodis and Keira, who had been looking forward to them at the base, were cut down. Xiao Feng returned safely with a large group of troops. Not even a single soldier was killed or injured. He was very happy, especially those soldiers who killed Xiao Feng.
After the miracles displayed on the battlefield were publicized to everyone, the morale of the base, which was originally low, instantly increased, and the people who were originally panicked suddenly stabilized.
Although most of the people in the base have heard of the Master Mage's boundless power, they have never seen it with their own eyes, and they are not very confident in Xiao Feng. This time they heard that the orc army was attacking, and many people even felt sick with oil on their soles.
Thoughts, but now after listening to those soldiers describe the scene where the mage showed his power on the battlefield and attracted thunder attacks, those little thoughts were instantly extinguished!
When he saw the ten-meter-high city wall in front of him, Tadel felt his head buzzing. How could this be possible?
He made full preparations before setting off this time, and asked all the orc soldiers who had patrolled here before. According to them, there was no city wall here at all more than a year ago.
But now when he saw the city wall that was more than a hundred meters long and ten meters high in front of him, he felt that the blood vessels in his temples were about to explode. How did these damn humans do it? In one year, they built it.
Such a high city wall?
When he followed the large army to conquer the human empire, it was not that he had never attacked the city, but the city walls of the human empire were not so tall at all. Even the city walls of the capital of the human kingdom, the tallest he had ever seen, were not that tall.
It's only seven or eight meters high, and it's all made of stone. According to the human prisoners they captured, the humans in this country spent more than three hundred years on and off building this city, and hundreds of thousands of people died.
And how did the humans here build such a high city wall in more than a year? And I don’t know what material these city walls are made of. From the outside, they look very neat and even colorful.
How do humans do it?
Could it be that mysterious mage again?
At this time, the several orc leaders standing next to him looked at the tall city wall in front of them, and they were all silent. It was obvious that these guys were shocked by this tall city wall.
The orc army stopped about a thousand meters away in front of the city wall. However, after the experience of being attacked by surprise before, they set up camp far away this time. It was about 1,500 meters away from the city wall. To be honest, it was so far away.
The distance is very unfavorable for launching an attack. After all, it is very energy-consuming for the infantry to set out from the camp, wearing armor and weapons, and walking to the city wall. But compared with consuming a little energy, this Lion General Tadel is obviously more
He didn't want to be bombarded by thunder. The painful lesson he learned last time left a deep impression on him. Over the past few days, he had been thinking about the scene that day. Later, he finally figured out a weakness of the thunder bombardment, which was the distance!
Even though the human mage was powerful, it was obvious that he still couldn't let the thunder bombard the entire battlefield, so as long as he kept a safe distance from humans, he didn't have to worry about being attacked by surprise.
While these orcs were observing the city wall, Xiao Feng and the leaders of the base were standing on the city wall observing these orcs.
Although the previous sneak attack was a great success, Xiao Feng believed that the ambush was not enough to make these orcs want to retreat, so after returning, he did not let the people in the base relax their vigilance. They have been preparing for war in the past few days.
, but unlike before, the morale of the human soldiers was much higher this time.
The entire base is operating in an orderly manner, and everyone is preparing for the upcoming war. Xiao Feng has been inspecting the city wall for several days in a row.
When he left before, he asked Charlesman, the great human scholar, and Kyle to be responsible for repairing the city wall. He really didn't check it carefully before. This time, he saw that Charlesman was really right during this time.
Many improvements have been made to the defense of the city wall.
For example, this guy built a tower protruding from the city wall on the top of the city wall for archers to use. When enemy ants climb the wall, the archers can enter the tower protruding from the city wall and face these climbers from behind.
Shooting enemies on the wall reduces the blind spots for defense. In fact, the concept is similar to the bastion in Xiao Feng's world. It is an offensive defense method that uses tall city walls. For the civilization of this era, it is possible to think of this
This is enough to show that Charles Mann is not a fool, but still has some ideas.
In addition, he and Kyle built a row of strong female walls on top of the smooth container wall so that archers could hide behind the wall and shoot at the enemy. They also installed several trebuchets and long-range large crossbows on the wall.
, these are the strength of the ancient city defenders, Xiao Feng is very satisfied with these improvements.
Kyle also followed suit. During Xiao Feng's absence, based on the experience of defending the city before, he had three deep and wide moats dug in front of the city wall.
The emergence of these defensive methods, coupled with the presence of Xiao Feng, undoubtedly gave the more than 2,000 people on the city wall the courage to fight against tens of thousands of orcs.
In fact, the main thing is that Xiao Feng is the backbone. Otherwise, even if there are so many defense methods, if more than two thousand people are to fight against tens of thousands of orcs, they will probably disperse in a hurry. After all, there were hundreds of thousands of them before.
They didn't get any benefits against less than 100,000 orcs. Now that the opponent's number is five times theirs, how can they be confident that they can hold on?
Xiao Feng put down the telescope in his hand. He could probably see clearly the orc formation on the opposite side. Compared with the previous sneak attack, the number of people had increased a lot. There should be more than 10,000 people, and many of them were wearing armor.
, it was too dark to see clearly what these people looked like from a distance, so it was difficult to judge the characteristics of these people.
On the other side of the battle formation, Tadel had almost figured out the human city walls and defense systems. He turned around and waved his hand: "Let's begin!"
Hundreds of werewolf soldiers pushed groups of human, elf, and dwarf slaves out from behind the battle formation. These slaves were in ragged clothes, all with sallow faces and thin skin. They were men, women, old and young. The werewolf soldiers walked back and forth in front of the slaves loudly.
After passing by, they kept talking, and soon each person's hand was stuffed with a rough cake. These slaves quickly devoured the rough cakes, and then each of them carried a cake filled with soil.
Bag, walk towards the moat.
Some were smart and walked slowly, but the werewolf who followed behind them came up with a knife and chopped the person to death. Such a scene immediately suppressed the slaves who had ideas, and everyone moved as fast as a headless fly.
rushed towards the moat.
Following these slaves were hundreds of tauren and pig-heads, shouting and pushing toward the giant trebuchet...
The humans on the city wall were stunned when they saw this situation. Apparently no one expected that these orcs would actually lead the way and send slaves of various races to fill the holes...
Not only the human soldiers didn't know how to deal with it, but even experienced veterans like Kyle also didn't know how to deal with it. They could only turn to look at Xiao Feng...
Seeing the orcs driving slaves of various races to fill in the moat in front of the city, Xiao Feng was a little surprised at first, but he soon calmed down.
The entire history of the modern world he lives in is a history of war. Human beings have fought against each other for thousands of years. However, this method had been used by someone in the history of China during his time more than a thousand years ago.
.
To tell the truth and drive civilians to fill in holes, if it happened in his world, he would probably have a headache, because in his opinion, the people in his world are the same as him, but in this world...
After all, they were in a barbaric era, with a civilization gap of dozens of centuries from the world he lived in. In his eyes, these slaves could not even be considered human beings at all, only conscious beings.
Therefore, he would not be soft-hearted when facing these people. When he saw the look Kyle cast, he just said lightly: "Why are you still hesitating? Wait for them to rush over? The result now is that they will not die.
It’s us who die, so it’s a hard choice?”
After hearing Xiao Feng's cold words, Kyle was also shocked. Indeed, now is not the time to be merciful.
He turned to look at the bachelor and said: "Let the soldiers start!"
