The orc army finally arrived at the Far North Fortress.
Reshu Pavilion
For this day, they devoted the efforts of the entire tribe. In order to support the rations that reached the far north fortress, the entire tribe used up almost all the remaining food.[.]
As always, the orcs still have no good way to deal with the tall walls of the Far North Fortress.
They only have simple rams and ladders, no building carts, no trebuchets, and other siege methods that seem conventional in Dragon City.
In fact, after the two military reforms, Dragon City has now made great progress in how to defeat solid fortresses.
In the past, the single attack on the city wall has become a thing of the past, and new routines have slowly been formed.
The method of digging tunnels has surprisingly been retained. Regardless of digging tunnels, facing the Ross continent, there are basically no city walls with little foundation, which can often produce unexpected results.
Of course, with the progress in the development of gunpowder at the Dragon City Academy of Sciences, perhaps the Dragon City army will further transform in the future.
Regardless of these, the orcs have now reached the Far North Fortress.
Facing a city wall as high as meters, the orcs could only rely on massive ladders and huge troop advantages to attack the city wall.
Fortunately, this time the orc army was backed by the Hengduan ridge. Although it was a severe cold winter, there were still many tall evergreen trees on Hengduan that could be used for making ladders.
After Thor arrived, he immediately launched an attack.
Thirty thousand orc forwards, armed with rudimentary fur armor that could be called a militia even more than a militia, rushed toward the northern wall of the Far North Fortress.
"Haha, with such a small force, are they here to deliver food?" Looking at the orc troops below who were neatly arranged, carrying ladders and preparing to attack, Zhang Liao shook his head in amusement.
Ian's eyes twitched next to him. At this time, the total strength of the Far North Fortress was less than 45,000, and the available troops would not exceed 40,000. This means that in the battle for the city wall, his side is likely to be overwhelmed by a steady stream of orcs.
It will consume all the energy, and it is likely to have such bad consequences in a very short period of time!
However, Zhang Liao, who was the commander of the Far North Fortress Theater, did not even look at the waves of orcs. This attitude made Ian frown.
However, he did not speak, because even though he was with the troops of the Far North Fortress all day these days, there were some things in the battle that could not be seen on ordinary days.
Such as morale, such as courage, such as confidence.
These things often determine the direction of a war. It’s no joke. There are many examples in history books of defeating more with less and outnumbered enemies.
Therefore, Ian also wanted to see the combat strength of the Second Army. Only actual combat was the best way to test an army. Moreover, Ian did not think that this one-time attack would cause one of the two sides to collapse.
Standing on the high-rise building, Zhang Liao and others could clearly see what was happening during the devolution.
The orcs' 30,000 vanguard troops are still nearly 2,000 meters away from the northern fortress. Even Dragon City's largest trebuchet cannot attack from this distance.
The orcs formed a square formation, and there were about two thousand to three thousand orcs in each square formation.
It can be seen that the orcs have also learned some common warfare techniques used by humans during their repeated invasions southward.
Although this square formation looks quite naive and crude in the Second Army, it is undoubtedly a considerable improvement compared to the orcs who only knew how to charge randomly in the past.
"It's interesting. I order all the troops to respond immediately and fight the first battle beautifully for me." Zhang Liao casually ordered to a row of messengers waiting behind him.
"Yes! Commander!" The ordering soldier on the far left saluted, then ran to the guardrail on the side of the tall building and picked up the order flag placed on a table.
"Swish, swish, swish!"
He waved a set of movements continuously, and the messengers from the various units who were always paying attention to the movements in the tall buildings quickly understood the meaning. In this way, Zhang Liao's order was conveyed to each army in a very short period of time.
"Boys, the commander said, let me fight this first battle well! If any of you dare to be lazy, be careful!" The troops on the city wall responsible for the first line of contact with the enemy are the sturdy heavy infantry of the Second Army.
The words of the frontline commander made the soldiers who were a little uneasy after seeing the momentum of the orc army relax, and then they started shouting jokingly.
"Battal Commander! Then if those green-skinned idiots we beat make a fool of themselves, how are you going to reward us?"
"That's right, battalion commander, how do you reward us?"
"Why don't you, battalion commander, share your bottle of wine with your brothers?"
"Go, go, go! I have been thinking about my bottle of wine all day long and want to drink it! There is no door!" Niu Bo, the forward commander, the commander of the first regiment and battalion of the second division of the second army, nicknamed the Bull Demon King,
He waved his hands towards the shouting soldiers and said, "You bastards, that wine was the wine I drank for my daughter when she got married. You just stay here."
"Batalion Commander, you are too stingy. You are giving it to your daughter when she gets married. Who doesn't know that your daughter is only three years old! This will have to wait until the year of the monkey." The soldiers all agreed and asked the battalion commander to drink the bottle of wine that everyone has been thinking about for a long time.
Bring out the wine.
"You bastards, okay, okay, I'm afraid of you. When all these greenskins are killed, I'll give them to you to drink. I won't kill you!" Battalion Commander Niu Bo was coaxed by the soldiers to no avail, so he
I agreed to everyone's request.
"Brothers, you heard it! The battalion commander said, kill all the greenskins and share the wine with each other. It's a deal!" The soldiers let Niu Bo go with satisfaction. The tense atmosphere just now disappeared in a hurry, and everyone was full of confidence.
Looking at the orcs in front of him, he thought of the scene of drinking wine together after the war.
"These bastards..." Battalion Commander Niu Bo secretly breathed a sigh of relief and made some jokes, finally driving away everyone's anxiety. As for the fine wine he had hidden, it was nothing compared to his brothers!
Each unit has its own style. Some officers are very serious, and the soldiers under their command also inherit his style, as fearless as robots. If confidence in oneself exceeds fear, morale will naturally not be reduced.
Some troop commanders are more bold and unrestrained, and their loud swearing can make everyone feel gangsters. This kind of wildness is also very helpful for morale.
Ian watched with wide eyes as Zhang Liao gave the order, and the morale of the entire Far North Fortress troops rose steadily, and the somewhat dull and depressing atmosphere just now was swept away.
"Incredible!" Ian, who has been the garrison general of the Far North Fortress for a long time, certainly knows that when the average army faces a number that far exceeds its own by more than ten times, even the most elite troops will be more or less demoralized.
Last year, the elite garrison of the Far North Fortress finally withstood an orc army that was five times its own size after running out of ammunition and food.
But what about now? With just a few words from their commander, Longcheng's army has completely restored the morale of its heyday. This is simply a miracle!
Brothers in the army, brothers and sisters.
This is the army of Dragon City, these are the soldiers of Dragon City.
Zhang Liao looked at the soldiers with proud smiles below, and a surge of pride surged into the sky in his chest. Having such a strong army is a dream that a general longs for throughout his life!
"Come on! Let the orcs know about the Second Army!"
We are soldiers of Dragon City,
We put on our armor,
We mount our horses,
We draw our swords,
We are the most powerful army!
No one can resist our pace.
We are the strongest soldiers,
No one can bring us down.
We are the strongest wall,
No one can cross our lines.
Charge, charge.
The flag of the Han army flutters across the earth,
We are the most fearless pioneers!
We are soldiers of Dragon City!
Han army!
mighty!
Loud singing sounded, and the military song of the Dragon City Army floated over the entire Far North Fortress.
The soldiers sang loudly, and even the officers on the tall buildings were roaring loudly. Zhang Liao, the commander of the theater, was no exception.
The morale boost brought by the loud singing reached its peak.
The last sound of the mighty Han army seemed to make the entire northern land tremble.
Ian's blood was excited by this unknown military song. He couldn't sing the exact lyrics, but he, like everyone else, waved his arms and hummed loudly to the simple, heart-stirring military horn.
Among the orc army in the distance, Thor also heard the singing that resounded through the sky.
He was stunned for a moment, then narrowed his eyes slightly and looked towards the Far North Fortress in front of him.
Looking at the Far North Fortress carefully, he seemed to notice something different.
Since the battle at the Far North Fortress last year, Thor thought he had a relatively good understanding of the Far North Fortress. But now he realized some things that were different from the Far North Fortress he remembered last year.
It seems that the city wall is a little taller. It seems that the layout on the city wall has also changed a bit. It seems that there are not those few tall buildings last year.
Even the city gate has changed a lot. The city gate that used to be like a hanging door has completely turned into a huge and thick iron-clad gate!
There is even a fence covered with iron spikes outside the city gate!
But what surprised Thor the most was that the flags flying over the Far North Fortress turned into red flags with strange words inlaid on them.
You know, the military flag that has been flying several times in the past has not changed in three hundred years, and that is the white bear flag unique to the Bywast royal family!
After fighting humans for so many years, it would be strange if the orcs still couldn't remember the flag on the Far North Fortress.
But all these changes now give Thor a very bad feeling.
But now the arrow is on the string, and there is no room for the orcs to hesitate.
So Thor nodded fiercely towards the forward troops preparing to attack, and at the same time raised his arms and shouted: "For the tribe!"
The orcs roared loudly and immediately drowned out the singing coming from the far north fortress.
Amidst the roar, the 30,000 orc forward troops began to advance.
, it is the northern wall of the Far North Fortress!
