Repeated failures have made the orcs extremely angry. [] Being cruel by nature, they only want to rush into the castle, burn, kill and loot, to avenge the dead tribesmen. Under the influence of this emotion, the orcs have lost their minds and have no idea at all.
With his own life and death in mind, his mind is filled only with the thought of killing the enemy.
Humans call this state of the orcs "madness", which is what every army commander fears most. The combat effectiveness of a group of mad orcs can be increased by at least 50%. Such a huge advantage on the battlefield is simply impossible to defeat.
, naturally gave the orcs the upper hand in battles with humans.
At this time, the orcs under the city wall had already entered a state of madness. Their originally black eyes turned into deep red, and their usually not-so-obvious fangs protruded from their lips, making the orcs' already ferocious appearance even more terrifying.
.
The orcs howled and erected the ladder against the wall. Several orcs held the ladder firmly against the wall below, and the other orcs climbed up the city wall with weapons in their mouths.
The siege equipment built by the orcs is very simple. It is said to be a ladder, but it is actually just a thick and long piece of wood. Some gaps are cut on both sides of the log that can be used for strength, and sometimes the existing branches of the wood are used instead.
There are gaps. In short, these ladders are extremely crude.
It is precisely because of this that the orcs can build so many ladders in one day. If they were to seriously build such regular ladders, they would never be able to build so many in ten days and a half.
Although the crude ladder speeded up the construction, it also slowed down the climbing speed of the beasts. At this time, the careless character of the beasts finally revealed its fatal flaw, and they paid a heavy price.
Because the climbing speed is too slow, many orcs cannot climb to the city wall at all. They are often killed by arrows shot from the top of the city just halfway up, and fall down screaming. The moving speed of the orcs on the ladder
It was very slow, which was the best shooting target. Of course, the crossbowmen who already had basic wisdom would not miss such a good opportunity. They took the orcs climbing the ladder as their targets, and shot down rounds of arrows, bringing them with them.
Killed many orc lives.
However, the orcs who entered the mad state would not give up the attack just because of some casualties. They completely ignored the rain of arrows and just climbed up silently with their weapons in their mouths. Those orcs who had not yet had time to climb the ladder surrounded them.
People nearby were yelling and cheering for their fellow tribesmen.
The orcs are not idiots with no brains at all, and they will not all crowd together to attack. Instead, they will keep a certain distance from each other. This can disperse the human defense forces and create conditions for them to attack the city. Nearly a hundred
The number of ladders to set up was not a small one in the first place, and the orcs were relatively scattered, and the wall they attacked was very long, so Roger had to spread out his soldiers to defend a larger area.
Spreading the troops naturally inevitably weakened the defenses on the city wall. Bows and crossbows were used to destroy all the orcs who climbed up the ladder. Some orcs quickly climbed to the top of the wall.
However, before these orcs could scale the city wall, they were greeted with flashing weapons, and the soldiers who had been waiting on the city wall for a long time also joined the battle.
Roger's soldiers stood on a safe city wall and had an absolute advantage over the orcs climbing the ladders. They were dispersed and guarded beside each ladder. As soon as the orcs' heads emerged from outside the city wall, they would attack.
Attack them without hesitation.
In order to climb the ladder, the orcs held their weapons in their mouths and held the ladder tightly with their hands and feet. How could they resist the attacks of the human soldiers? Many orcs watched helplessly as the enemy's weapons attacked them, and then there was a burst of
I was in severe pain, and then I screamed and fell from the top of the tall ladder.
Even with the strong physique of the orcs, falling from such a height is very fatal. Most of the injured orcs fell to death directly, and the few who did not die for a while would not live long in this golden wasteland where there is a lack of medical treatment. If they are seriously injured, they will die.
There was only one way to die. There were even some particularly unlucky guys who were waiting to climb up by the ladder, but were smashed by the tribesmen who fell from the city wall, and died at the hands of their own people before they actually entered the battle.
Roger paid attention to the progress of the battle with a serious expression, commanding the soldiers to make corresponding adjustments at any time according to the movements of the orcs. Although the soldiers could respond to the battle situation on their own after possessing primary intelligence, their reactions were slower than real people after all.
After half a beat, Roger felt that it would be better to direct it himself when he had time to take care of it.
As the battle continued, Roger was also secretly frightened by the orcs' fearless spirit and extraordinary fighting skills. After these orcs entered a state of madness, they were not much different from undead creatures who did not know what fear was, but
Their strength is much stronger than ordinary undead creatures. If Roger hadn't upgraded the castle to level four and trained more powerful troops, it is very likely that they would not be able to withstand such a fierce attack and let these orcs occupy the castle.
.
What Roger didn't know was that at the same time, the orcs' chieftain, Big Rock, was also furious. He thought that as long as there was a ladder, his men could easily break through the castle. Who knows that the battle has been going on so far, and there is not even a single orc at all.
Can you successfully scale the city wall, let alone breach the castle!
The boulder smashed everything in the tent to pieces, and he roared loudly with red eyes: "Two thousand orcs! Two thousand Blackwater orc warriors can't attack a small human castle! If word of this gets out,
, let us, the Blackwater Tribe, gain a foothold in the orc country in the future!"
For Jushi, the Blackwater Tribe is the foundation for him to ascend to the position of Beast King. If the Blackwater Tribe is defeated by other orcs, Jushi will never be able to get ahead. Anger and unwillingness make Jushi decide to make a desperate move, and he strides out.
Tent, grabbed a beast and roared: "Send more people up, I will flood that castle with the beast army!"
"Yes!" the orc responded and walked away in a hurry. This guy quickly conveyed the order of the war chief, which immediately caused a burst of cheers among the orcs.
The orcs are originally a warlike race, and they would feel uncomfortable without a fight. When the tribe launched an attack on the human castle, the orcs who stayed behind did not know how envious they were. If it were not for the prestige of the boulder, most of them would
Most orcs will rush forward.
Now that the great chief has spoken, the orcs who have been unable to restrain themselves for a long time will naturally not let go of such a good opportunity. When the charging drums sounded, more than two thousand orcs immediately rushed forward with a roar. If it hadn't been for a few
The chief tried his best to stop him, fearing that all the orcs would rush forward, even the little orcs who were not yet adults.
Both men and women are very strong and warlike. In fact, even female orcs are much stronger than ordinary humans and are definitely qualified soldiers on the battlefield. Therefore, the Blackwater tribe with more than 10,000 people has at least 9,000
There are so many orcs who can go to the battlefield, and if you include those half-grown men, there will be no problem in gathering an army of ten thousand people.
This is why Jushi is so confident and dares to attack the castle after losing so many men. For it, as long as it captures the castle, it is worth losing thousands of men. This place is so close to the human world, and it can easily
To get enough food, just let
Those women who gave birth freely could make up for the lost population in a few years. But if the castle could not be breached, the entire tribe would lose food for the winter. By then, more orcs would starve to death, so instead of this,
It would be more valuable to let them die on the battlefield.
The boulder almost attacked with an attitude of breaking the pot, which put great pressure on Roger. Seeing thousands more orcs rushing up, Roger's expression became solemn. These orcs came regardless of the situation.
An attack was launched with casualties. Naturally, such an enemy must not be taken lightly.
"Continue to train soldiers, I think there will be insufficient manpower!" Roger secretly ordered the castle commander, and then said to Bonnie apologetically: "Can you go to the wall near the city gate to supervise the battle? I think the orcs
There will be a big move, and it may not be safe if there is no strong person in charge there."
Bonnie had long wanted to join the battle, but Roger didn't say anything, so the female knight had always adhered to her duty as a subordinate and stayed by his side. Now that Roger finally wanted Bonnie to join the battle, of course she was very happy,
I couldn't help but glance at Roger and said, "You finally remembered me?"
"Haha, the situation was relatively stable before. Of course I don't want you to take risks." Roger smiled slightly at Bonnie and said, "But the situation is different now. I'm not worried about not having you at the city gate."
This sentence "I don't feel at ease without you" made Bonnie secretly happy, but she did not show too much joy and immediately walked towards the city gate.
The weakest link in the defense of any castle is the city gate, which is also the most vulnerable place to be breached by the enemy. Although the orcs have not taken any action against the city gate yet, no one can guarantee that they will never attack the city gate. The female knight is already thinking secretly.
Determined, since Roger entrusted such an important task to himself, he would defend the city gate even if he died.
At the same time, the orcs who had been added had already climbed up the ladder with howls, and they climbed up the city wall regardless of their own safety, without any fear of death.
The battle became fierce again, and both sides were like bowstrings being stretched to the limit. As long as one side endured a slightly greater pressure, it might collapse first. Fierce fighting was going on everywhere along a long stretch of the city wall, and the orcs
Trying to climb up, while the human warriors desperately try to prevent this from happening.
However, a military strategist on Earth once said that no matter how strong the defense line is, it will be conquered. The same thing happened to Roger. When several orcs climbed to the top of the ladder, they threw hand axes at the soldiers above, killing several of them.
A soldier fell to the ground. The orcs took the opportunity to climb up the city wall, raised their hands in the air and let out an excited howl.
