"Everyone is at your position!" The commanders' shouts came from the city wall again.
Following their orders, the swordsmen and shieldmen responsible for long-range strike missions once again raised their repeating crossbows.[.]
The orcs are getting closer and closer, coming like a tide. The swordsmen and shieldmen don't even need to aim, they just need to point their arrows downwards, and they will definitely kill the enemy.
"put!"
After giving the order, a black cloud suddenly flashed over the city wall.
The fleeting crossbow arrows took away waves of orcs, but now the orcs have forgotten their fear, they just want to rush to the city wall!
The lethality brought by the crossbow arrows is obvious, and the continuous shooting causes the orc troops below to suffer huge casualties every moment.
"Engage the enemy! Prepare to engage the enemy!"
The orcs had broken through to within a hundred meters, and the frontline commander in charge of the battle shouted loudly. The Euphorbia warriors, who had watched the show for a long time, twisted their necks, then picked up the Euphorbia in their hands, and said coldly
Watching the orc who is lifting the ladder.
A series of ladders were put up on the wall, and then the orcs below quickly began to climb up one by one.
"Humph! What a beautiful idea!" A Euphorbia warrior saw a ladder being set up in front of him. He snorted, then raised the Euphorbia in his hand and knocked hard on the ladder.
.
One side of the ladder was violently hit by the Euphorbia, and in an instant, several orcs who were climbing on the ladder fell to the other side. If they fell more than ten meters high, they would basically not die or be disabled, and most importantly
The only thing that happened was that the ladder broke into several pieces after falling. The orcs who only relied on the ladder to attack the city wall once they lost the ladder, they could only look at the city and sigh.
Scenes like the one just happened happened in various places on the city wall. The Euphorbias became like sweepers, pushing down the ladders one by one. However, it was obviously impossible to get rid of all the ladders, and many orcs used the ladders to build the city wall.
He climbed up in a few seconds.
The hand-to-hand combat has begun!
Facing these resentful human soldiers in the Far North Fortress, the anger and frustration in the hearts of the orc warriors reached its peak after continuous attacks. They could accept a brave death in battle, but they could not accept an aggrieved death. And those who died just now
The orc warrior died miserably without even being able to touch the enemy's clothes. This was a great shame for the orcs, so the orcs who rushed forward now burst out with great fighting spirit and rushed towards the Euphorbia warriors desperately.
.
Who are the Euphorbias? They are the kings of the dragon city's land infantry. Faced with the provocation of the orcs, how could these arrogant warriors like the Euphorbias retreat?
The orcs waved their battle axes, and the euphorbiasmen roared their halberds. The two sides started a life-and-death battle.
Don't think that the Euphorbia warriors can only rely on formations to fight. That is an absolutely wrong idea. Every warrior who becomes a Euphorbia warrior has extraordinary qualities. For example, if a Euphorbia warrior is placed in other
Army, then at least a lieutenant-level officer!
In Longcheng, if you want to become an officer, you must meet two conditions. One is tactical literacy. To become a lieutenant-level officer, you must go to the military academy for training, otherwise you will not graduate! The first is that you must have extraordinary skills.
The standard of martial arts! Otherwise, in the Dragon City army, if you don't have any skills and still want to lead troops, it is simply a fantasy!
The officers mentioned here are all low-level officers. Since they do not have extraordinary martial arts skills, the loss rate of these low-level officers in battle is enough to give Zhou Yunfei a headache. In view of this, almost every lieutenant-level front-line commander in Longcheng has
All possess extraordinary strength.
Then looking back at the Euphorbias, a force composed entirely of super elites, it is not difficult to understand what kind of combat effectiveness they have.
A single Euphorbia man's attack on a single Orc is just like playing. With one blow, the opponent will fall to the ground.
This is the gap in thinking. What Euphorbia warriors learn are killing techniques, which are the most practical and fastest techniques to kill enemies on the battlefield. Coupled with the luxurious equipment, dealing with orcs is as easy as a lawn mower.
!
Pushing the fallen orc's body to the wall, lifting it off the wall with one leg, the Euphorbia began to look for the next enemy.
Battles like this took place all over the city wall, almost one-sidedly, keeping the number of orcs climbing up the city wall at a very low number. This is also Dragon City's strategy, using this point-killing method to reduce the number of orcs who attack the city wall.
Keep it within a certain range, so that the local numerical and equipment advantages of the Dragon City soldiers can be fully utilized.
However, with this method, as the orcs add more and more ladders, sooner or later they will break through the limited number of people in Dragon City. At that time, it will be the turn of the two sides to fight to the death with real swords and guns.
Many swordsmen and shieldmen who had fired their spare crossbows into the air also dropped their crossbows and joined the ranks of the Euphorbias in encircling and suppressing the orcs. The rest of the long-range strikes continued non-stop, with arrows raining all the time.
It poured down the city.
Seeing this situation, Thor still indifferently ordered to continue to increase the number of people, and he was ready to pile them up with more people.
This method is correct. Among the orcs who lack siege means, the only thing they can rely on is their huge numerical advantage. If the human defenders of the far north fortress are consumed in this way, although the damage will be great in the future,
As long as we capture the Far North Fortress, everything will be worth it.
However, what Thor said is that the orcs are not the only ones with tens of thousands of human troops in the Far North Fortress!
It was almost early in the morning when the orc army arrived at the northern fortress. At this time, the sun had begun to set gradually. This also meant that the battle had lasted for almost a day.
At the beginning of the war, the orcs lost 30,000 forwards, and then suffered huge casualties every moment during the continuous strong attacks.
Up to this moment, the northern city wall has still not been captured!
You know, the orcs have lost the lives of nearly 80,000 warriors in one day! This kind of casualties is unprecedentedly huge, because the casualties of the other party are miniscule compared to the orcs!
The field medical clinic in the Far North Fortress was also crowded with three thousand wounded at this time. They were all wounded who were rescued from the front line. With their good combat literacy and excellent defense, many soldiers suffered no injuries.
Fatal, thanks to subconscious self-preservation at the last moment of injury.
This is the difference between veterans and recruits, elites and ordinary people.
But even so, the lives of at least two thousand soldiers were lost on the front line!
All the field doctors in the medical center are busy, and even many soldiers in charge of logistics have joined in rescuing the wounded. Now basically all soldiers with combat effectiveness have been transferred to the front line, ready to replace troops in combat. Even
The stopped equipment troops all took up their weapons and came to the bottom of the inner city wall as a reserve team.
The battle on the front line was very intense, just as Zhang Liao predicted. At the beginning, Longcheng did rely on its huge long-range advantage to firmly hold back the speed of the orcs pushing on the wall, and the all-out encirclement and suppression of the troops on the city wall also kept the number of orcs on the wall at bay.
Keep it at a very low number.
However, as the firepower of long-range strikes gradually decreased, coupled with the desperate resistance of the orcs on the city wall, more and more orcs gradually climbed onto the city wall.
The battle is becoming more and more intense, with Dragon City and the orcs fighting for the rights to the city wall.
After the battle lasted for two hours, Zhang Liao ordered the pike troops on standby in the inner city to step on the wall to support and drive the orcs away.
The spear troops who received the order walked in neat steps, wiping away the orc troops on the city wall piece by piece like rags. The power of the spear troops after the formation was shocking. Even Zhang Liao did not expect the spearmen of Longcheng.
What a nightmare the formation is for the orcs.
A spear about two and a half meters long can easily attack an orc. Even if an orc can block one or two spears, it is impossible to face dozens of spears. The only end result is to be swarmed.
The coming spear tip takes away life.
The perfect performance of the pikemen reduced the pressure on the city wall. The injured soldiers were able to take the opportunity to leave the battle line and come to the medical center for treatment.
However, as time progressed, the orcs began to attack again. Countless orcs were killed by the soldiers on the city wall, but a steady stream of people came to the battlefield again and reached a stalemate.
Zhang Liao watched the battle below coldly and never issued any further orders. It seemed that the battle below had nothing to do with him as the commander. Ian watched the battle below nervously, because once the city wall failed, it would basically be possible to declare the end of the battle.
The North Fortress was lost. So Ian paid attention to the battle below. He had no time to think about the gap between the two sides and just prayed that it would get dark soon.
Generally speaking, orcs will not fight at night, because orcs have a fatal flaw, which is night blindness!
In fact, this is directly related to the fact that the orcs have been in the far north snowfield all year round. Although the orcs can see the scene in the snow at night, after leaving the Hengduan Mountains, the snow around the far north fortress is not enough to reflect the night.
Produce enough light for the orcs to see clearly!
As long as they survive this period of time, it will be enough for the soldiers of Dragon City to take a breath. Fighting for a continuous day is extremely exhausting, not to mention that they basically haven't eaten anything during the day! This is not enough for the elite dragons.
It is also a very important event for the city soldiers.
The sun gradually set in the west, and the day-long battle for the Far North Fortress slowly came to an end. As expected, the orcs slowly retreated out of the long-range strike range of Dragon City. In fact, at this moment, Dragon City no longer had any long-range strikes.
The soldiers in the equipment team had all participated in the task of rotating defense, so they naturally gave up. The arms of the archers had been swollen after a day's work, and it was impossible to continue to draw their bows in a short period of time. Those on the front line
The crossbow bolts have long been used up, and even the logistics reserves on the front line have been exhausted.
When Zhang Liao saw the orc army slowly retreating, he ordered the defenders to count the wounded and casualties, pay attention to the movements of the orcs at all times, and then walked down the high building.
This battle seemed to have gradually subsided. After a day of fighting in the cold winter, the Far North Fortress slowly became quiet.
