The first sentence at the beginning of the urgent report startled Lorraine.
As early as in the city of Croni, after several days of reconnaissance by Vera, Lorraine determined that there were only 20,000 orcs in front of the city of Croni, so he dared to lead his army south to face them.
Lorraine's original plan was to eliminate this group of orcs, which would reduce the pressure on Croni City and squeeze out the remaining strength to support areas with weak military strength.
Facts have proved that there are also smart people among the orcs, and there are quite a few of them.
Even though unlike Lorraine, Vera, a super dragon-shaped reconnaissance aircraft, can always grasp the dynamics of the front line, the orc scouts are not in vain.
The Orcs had known for a long time that there was a human army stationed south of Cloni City, waiting for the Orcs headed by the Scorpion King to engage in a decisive battle with them.
And a hundred miles east of the 20,000 orcs, there is a team of 10,000 orcs composed of several tribes.
After learning that Lorraine and the imperial army were about to fight the Dulci people to death, the clan leaders immediately realized that the opportunity had come.
These more than 10,000 orcs immediately broke out of camp, relying on the guidance of a few orc slaves who had escaped from the human world, and marched almost non-stop day and night towards the city of Croni.
Since there was a big battle ahead, Lorraine asked Vera to only pay attention to whether the enemies on the opposite side were ambushing her, and did not dare to let Vera go out too far. This left a gap for these orcs.
"You're so careless." Lorraine slapped his forehead and sighed heavily, thinking to himself: He was still a little concerned about one thing and not the other, but there was nothing he could do about it. After all, the battle line was too long and his own troops were too few. There really was no way.
Ways to take good care of it.
Moreover, he did not expect that these orcs were so stupid that they dared to divide their troops before they had dealt with him, and even went deep alone to attack the city behind him.
It’s true that the old saying goes, ‘Meat eaters are despicable~!’ – one can never overestimate the lower limit of IQ of those second-generation ancestors who inherited the position of patriarch from me~!
Fortunately, these orcs did not pose much of a threat to the city of Colony. When they arrived dozens of miles away from the city of Colony, General Larry had already received a report from the scouts and had the exact information.
At that time, there were only 3,000 regular troops in the city of Croni, and there were 5,000 militiamen. However, most of these militiamen were armed citizens and farmers, and their combat effectiveness was not high. They could defend the city, but they could not go out to attack.
However, "old people are still smarter". Although General Larry is not good at politics and does not know how to flatter people, but as the great hero Sir Wei said, the less people know how to flatter people, the more capable they are.
At that time, the defenders in Croni City unanimously requested to defend the city and asked Lorraine for help. When the time came, they would be attacked from both sides and none of the orcs would be able to escape.
But General Larry simply rejected this suggestion. He knew that Lorraine was fighting twice as many orcs as the imperial army, and there was no room for distraction at this moment.
I really wanted Lorraine to ask for help. When the time came, Lorraine couldn't retreat even if he wanted to. With his tail behind him, there might be a chaotic fight under the city of Cloni.
General Larry overcame all opinions and decided not to ask for help from Lorraine. He knew that this group of orcs would be impetuous in their actions, so he set a trap in the city of Cloni.
Two days ago, at the foot of Croni City.
There was a long queue of convoys transporting supplies outside the city, as if they were stuck in a traffic jam, parked motionless on the road outside the city gate.
There is nothing we can do about it. There are too many vehicles, the city gate is so big, and it takes a lot of time to check the registration. Moreover, something seems to have happened at the city gate today. A large group of people gathered at the gate, surrounding the gate.
The guards were noisy and blocked the entire city gate.
The guards of the motorcade had been blowing the autumn wind outside the city for a long time, and their faces were dried. The guards could only lick their dry lips, tightly wear their clothes and curse impatiently behind them. They couldn't wait and simply threw the car away.
, squatting on the roadside and started gambling.
The officers who were patrolling in front and behind the convoy all had tense faces and looked serious, but they pretended not to notice the actions of their subordinates.
Judging from their appearance, they were also a little impatient and frequently looked towards the city.
A few ordinary people with their families and families rushed to the city of Crony together. They were probably the last group of people to evacuate into the city.
The soldiers kept their spears aside and squatted on the ground with their heads bent to gamble. Several common people passing by looked at them angrily and kept shouting excitedly.
An old man with gray hair pulled a soldier on the roadside and asked: "Brother, what are you transporting?"
The soldier glanced at him and said angrily: "Military supplies."
"It's not like that!" the old man muttered to himself, and said: "Look at your ruts, the indentations are so shallow, how can they contain military supplies? There are hundreds of thousands of people in the city, how can there be enough food without transporting food?"
The soldier waved his hand and said: "I'm just a small soldier, how do I know? Maybe it's the horse's material that's lucky."
The old man laughed and said, "Brother, you are just fooling people. You need to pack the hay tightly in oilcloth to transport it."
The old man tapped the oilcloth on the car with his crutch, making a "bang bang" sound, and wondered: "Huh? Why does the car look like wood?"
The soldier waved his hand impatiently and said: "I said, old man, why do you care so much? Just go on your way. Maybe it's for winter."
The old man paused his crutches and said: "Why don't you care? The son of a bitch orcs came and forced our whole family into the city. I don't know how long this military disaster will continue. There are so many people in the city.
What will we farmers do if the trouble gets to the point where we have nothing to eat or drink?”
"You..." The soldier grinned and didn't know what to say.
At this time, an officer rode up to him and yelled with a black face: "What happened here?"
The soldier quickly stood at attention and said loudly: "Captain, this old man keeps asking questions."
The old man bent down to the officer on the horse and smiled honestly.
The officer looked back and forth, then turned to glance at the horizon behind him, and said impatiently: "You, send these people to the city, quickly."
"Ah?" When the soldier heard this strange order, he was stunned for a moment and said: "Um, I..."
The officer whipped his horse whip and shouted: "Go if you are told to go, send them all in within a quarter of an hour, and come back quickly."
"Yes" the soldier agreed loudly, grabbed the old man and urged: "Go quickly, go quickly."
As he walked through the city gate, the old man saw a group of officers gathering at the gate and talking nonsense, but he paid no attention to the cart parked at the gate and showed no intention of rushing to the city.
Only the city gate was empty, and there was a row of carriages inside the city blocking the city gate.
The old man was angry when he saw the officers not doing their job properly, and wanted to stop and teach them a few words. A senior officer at the city gate waved his hand impatiently and said: "Quickly, go through the side street."
The soldiers quickly took him into the city.
Watching them enter, everyone at the door seemed to be relieved.
After a while, a cavalryman ran straight to the city gate from a distance, turned over and jumped off his horse.
The officer at the city gate looked up into the distance and asked, "Have all the people outside been evacuated?"
The cavalryman stood at attention and said: "Yes, sir, there are no civilians nearby."
The officer nodded with satisfaction and said: "Let me tell you, keep your eyes peeled, our plan cannot tolerate any mistakes."
"yes!"
"Why haven't you entered the city yet?" The guards at the back waited until their stomachs were exhausted, but when they saw the officers at the gate of the city, they still had no intention of moving, so they hid behind and started to curse.
"Dang Dang Dang"
Suddenly, there was a rapid ringing of bells, followed by shouting sounds from the city wall, and a panic at the city gate. The officers blocking the city gate quickly disappeared.
The soldiers looked at each other and wondered: "What is this sound?"
A soldier suddenly shouted: "Damn it, it's an alarm, someone is coming to kill you."
The guards suddenly became panicked and ran around in a mess. They hurried to lead their carriages and pulled on the reins to drive the horses into the city.
The officers galloped through the convoy, shouting: "Cut off the shaft straps and hurry the horses into the city. We don't want the carriages anymore. Quick, quick. Assholes, what are you doing standing still? Get the horses in."
The soldiers who heard the order did not dare to neglect. They drew their weapons and cut off the leather straps on the horses. They pulled the reins and pulled up the horses and ran towards the city.
For a moment, people on the avenue were shouting and horses were neighing, and there was chaos.
The soldiers behind the convoy turned around and saw in the distance, a large group of cavalry approaching the city gate quickly. Behind them, there were black figures on the horizon. It looked like there were thousands of people heading towards the city gate.
It's never been here.
An officer came to the end of the team, pointed at a few soldiers, and cursed: "What are you waiting for? Come in quickly, the orcs are coming. You guys, throw your spears on the ground and don't want them anymore. Damn it, hurry up, I'm here."
I’m going to be killed by you.”
"Captain, how can you lose the guy who is eating?" the soldier asked doubtfully.
"There is so much nonsense, just throw it away if you are told." The officer flicked his whip and said urgently: "Don't worry about the car and follow me."
Three orc chiefs were on a slope, looking at the city of Croni a few miles away.
At this moment, the human beings are leaving the carts filled with supplies in panic and rushing into the city in panic. In the city of Croni, the rapid bells are ringing, and the soldiers on the city wall are running back and forth.
Just two miles away from the city gate of Croni, an assault team composed of the wolf cavalry, the most powerful unit of the orcs, was running towards the city gate at full speed.
The huge black sitting wolves, carrying the most powerful warriors of the Orc clan on their backs, lined up in a row, kicked up the dust on the ground, and rushed straight to the city gate with a majestic voice.
Behind them were the orc cavalry, waving their weapons, howling and shouting, following behind the wolf cavalry, staring feverishly at the human city gate.
Two miles behind the cavalry was a large army of orcs, running wildly after the cavalry. Under the strong physical strength of the orcs, the speed of these people was not slow at all.
The three orc chiefs looked nervously at the human city gate, praying that the strong door would not be closed.
Their blood-red eyes were wide open, their expressions were ferocious, they were not breathing hard, the blood rushed to their heads with excitement, and the tendons on their foreheads were twitching.
The clan leaders waved their fists and shouted at the orcs in front: "Come on, seize the city gate at all costs."
"Conquer the city and everyone will have enough to live on for a lifetime."
"Kill, kill!"
Two miles passed by in an instant, and the wolf cavalry at the head of the queue bypassed the taxis blocking the city gate and rushed into the city gate through the gap.
When the orcs behind them saw that they had successfully rushed into the city before the humans closed the city gate, they roared fervently, with a roar of greed and cruelty, which further aroused the bloodiness of the orcs.
In their opinion, as long as they break through the city wall, this city that they have never seen before must be theirs. Although the human armor is powerful, they cannot be sure that they have more people.
The three clan leaders laughed at the same time.
"Blessed by the soul of our ancestors, we succeeded, we succeeded."
"I have never seen such a big city in my dreams. Now, it is ours, and everything in it is ours. Chief Doleta, you will be a hero that will be remembered forever on our grassland."
The half-orc leader, known as Doreta, was leaning on a big sword and looking at the city of Croni with a wild smile. At this moment, a shocking shout of killing could be heard from inside the city gate.
Chief Dorieta said with great satisfaction: "It's been a thousand years, a full thousand years, and we have finally achieved the greatest victory in the war against mankind. Chief Orelchi and Chief Viridu, this honor also belongs to you.
"
Patriarch Orelchi watched the infantry follow the footsteps of the cavalry and rushed into the city gate. He thought that the matter was settled, and the only ones left were the soldiers who slaughtered all the humans in the city. He took a sip and said with disdain, "Wei Wei."
That idiot Qinji Tolek is still fighting to the death with humans in the south. How could he know that we are getting an advantage? That dead scorpion whose hair is not fully grown really thinks he is the boss on the grassland. Wait for me.
Let’s see how he faces us.”
Dorieta waved his hand and said: "I still have to thank that little scorpion. If he hadn't lured all the human troops in this city away, I wouldn't have thought of this method."
Chief Viridu rubbed his minibus, his sinister eyes flashed with greed, and he said in a sinister tone: "When that little scorpion and the humans have killed all his men, then we will go south again and bring him
That human army and that dead scorpion were killed together, and from the grasslands to the human areas, they are all ours."
After speaking, he held his stomach and let out a sharp laugh.
Doretta narrowed her eyes in fascination, and said with a smile: "Okay, everything belongs to you, I only want that woman."
Alec and Virid looked at each other and swallowed greedily.
The shouts of killing at the city gate were getting louder and louder, mixed with screams and wails. The Orc leader seemed to think this was the most beautiful music in the world.
Thousands of orcs were crowding at the city gate at this moment, scrambling to kill into the city. To this end, they even fought on the road, swung their weapons and first attacked the orcs around them.
The anxious orcs climbed onto the cart abandoned by the humans and tore off the cloth on it. The other orcs saw this and rushed to reach out to the cart. The goods on the cart suddenly fell down and pressed against the bottom.
Orcs, but they are just cartloads of firewood.
The orc cursed in disappointment, then pushed the people in front of him and pushed towards the city.
General Larry was accompanied by a group of officers. On a high building in the city, he looked at the orcs inside and outside the city gate.
The orc cavalry in front quickly encountered the high barricades on the street after they rushed into the city. They were built with earth and stone foundations and were almost twenty feet high. The barricades formed an arc, with two
The end was connected to the city wall, and all areas near the city gate were enclosed to form an encirclement.
The Orc cavalry rushed left and right in the street, looking for a way out, but the Orcs following behind rushed to break the doors and windows of the houses on both sides of the street, jump into the houses through the doors and windows, and loot the contents inside.
But what was left to them was an empty house, with not even a bench left in it.
Seeing that the orcs were rushing into the encirclement, General Larry waved his hand and said in a deep voice: "Act according to the plan."
The soldiers on the city wall picked up their bows and arrows, lit the tarpaulin behind the arrows, and quickly fired the rockets into the carts inside and outside the city. The rockets continued to fall down. The carts were all filled with kerosene. After splashing with sparks, "
With a sound, it exploded, igniting piles of wood. Violent flames instantly shot up into the sky, wrapping all the nearby orcs tightly in the flames. The orcs, whose whole bodies were on fire, screamed and struggled desperately.
The other orcs hurriedly dispersed in all directions, but the avenue was full of lit fires, so these orcs had no choice but to flee to both sides.
Especially at the gate of the city, where the largest number of carts were piled up, a fire soon broke out. The fire blocked the two gates inside and outside the city gate. The orcs who were still in the gate hole gathered in panic and were unable to move forward or retreat.
.
With a "clang" sound, the gate made of iron bars as thick as a child's arm fell from the top of the city gate. The sharp bottom pierced the orc who was under the iron gate, and the body was stuck to the ground.
Several stone bricks in the city gate hole suddenly shrank back and retreated into the wall, leaving a small door on the side of the city gate hole.
In the surprised eyes of the orcs outside the small door, the gem on the top of a staff emitted a dazzling light, and a large number of sharp ice picks shot out from the small door.
The ice cone reflecting the firelight glowed a coquettish red color and instantly smashed into the bodies of the surrounding orcs.
Then there was another burst of ice picks, until there was a clear space at the beginning of the small door.
The soldiers of the Naian Legion, all wrapped in armor, poured out of the small door and slashed at the orcs with sharp weapons.
In just a few minutes, all the orcs in the city gate were hacked to the ground. The soldiers of the Naian Legion pushed up the heavy door and slowly closed it.
The gate of Croni City closed again with a clang in front of thousands of orcs.
The officers in the city shouted at the top of their lungs: "Counterattack, kill his mother~!"
