There is heavy snow falling outside the house. This heavy snow has been falling for several days. These days, Karst City's contact with the outside world has been almost completely cut off. According to the news from the mobile troops stationed outside the city, the situation is very bad. Mobile
The troops have already left their base and retreated to the city of Tours behind them.
This move put the important northern town of Karst City into crisis.
Grom was lying on his back in the white snow, squinting his eyes and looking at the tall city wall a few hundred meters ahead. This was the wall of the Karst City!
It took three days and nearly 500 miles of walking in a snowstorm! From Hengduan Mountain, we arrived at our target, Karst City!
Of the 30,000 orcs, the most valiant soldiers now only have more than 20,000 left! Nearly 10,000 warriors fell behind them forever in the thick snow.
The day before yesterday, after dawn, Grom looked at the brothers lying in the snow, but could never open their eyes again, and just calmly ordered the troops to continue moving forward. They had no time to grieve, and they did not even have time to help bury their brothers.
!They can only continue to move forward with the hope of the fallen warriors.
The lord of Karst City, Bhopal Cantelo, is a retainer of the Cantelo family and was given the surname Cantelo. Since yesterday, he has been very restless, always feeling that something big is about to happen, and asked questions continuously.
I contacted the soldiers of the mobile unit several times and got the same answer. "Due to the heavy snow, the station was destroyed. We have to retreat to Duer City, which is 20 kilometers away. If there are changes in Karst City, I hope your unit can hold on for three days."
.”
The news from the Mobile Force made Bhopal very angry! You said you wanted to retreat, why are you retreating? If you want to retreat, retreat here too!
The most important task of the mobile force, which originally served as a supporting defense for several major fortresses in the north, was to ensure the safety of the karst city. But who would have thought that a heavy snowfall would cause the distance between the two parties to reach a very dangerous level! Bo had a headache.
Parr could only order his sergeants to be more vigilant and always be prepared for the incoming orcs.
He has a premonition! Those green monsters will definitely come here!
However, the problem is that no one will believe him if he says it! Thousands of cannon fodder are stationed outside the newly discovered crossing entrance in the north. They have only one mission: to report the orcs immediately. Although the road is blocked by heavy snow, there are still
There is no news, which proves that it is still safe there for the time being.
Bhopal really couldn't suppress the anxiety in his heart and decided to go to the city wall to observe in person.
Climbing the snow-covered city wall, Bhopal stared at the north in the distance. However, the snow was falling really hard, and the place he could see was only a few hundred meters below the city. Bhopal could only helplessly order those around him
Sentinels, ask them to pay attention to the situation below the city at all times and not to neglect it!
After walking down the city wall with difficulty, Bhopal turned around and looked. Suddenly he said: "Inform the soldiers to bring shovels and shovel the snow on the city wall. There is no way for people to stand in such thick snow, let alone defend.
!Go quickly, I’ll be waiting here.”
After receiving the order, the guards immediately ran to the barracks. After a while, a large group of soldiers wearing thick cotton clothes and carrying farm iron tools climbed onto the city wall.
Suddenly, snowflakes were flying outside the city wall.
The soldiers shoveled happily. Although heavy snow quickly accumulated on their shoulders and heads, they could move their stiff hands and feet in the cold winter and their whole bodies became warm. Some soldiers even piled up a pile of snow.
Playing with snowmen. In Bhopal, I watched the soldiers shoveling snow happily outside the city, and unconsciously put down the worries in my heart. At least the morale is good, right?
...
About five hundred meters outside the city, 20,000 orc soldiers were carrying the thick log, which was a huge log cut from the mountain dozens of miles away. The tribe could not build a ram chariot, so they had to use manpower to carry the huge log and attack the city gate.
Other soldiers used the transported wood to make simple shields! These large square shields made of thick wood are up to 10 centimeters thick! Even an orc can't bear to carry this thing for several kilometers. However, for
For the orcs who lack protective means, it is enough to simply and effectively defend against the arrows shot by humans on the city wall. Anyway, this thing can be thrown away after use.
It took nearly a day for the orc troops to make more than 2,000 thick wooden shields.
Seeing that it was getting late, Grom ordered the warriors to rest for two hours and wait for the humans' dinner, which is when they would attack.
The soldiers who had been shoveling snow all day walked down the city wall and prepared to return to the camp for dinner. Bhopal also turned around and prepared to go back.
At this moment, I heard the soldiers on the watchtower of the city wall shouting loudly: "Enemy attack! Enemy attack! Orcs! It's orcs! Enemy attack!"
The sentry yelled and knocked hard on the bell next to him.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!" The thick bell penetrated the heavy snow and echoed in the sky above the karst city.
Bhopal was stunned for a moment, then suddenly woke up. He ran towards the city wall, turning back and shouting at the stunned sergeants: "The enemy is attacking! Get up to the city wall quickly! Notify the other soldiers! Hurry! Hurry! Hurry!"
Awakened by Bhopal's shouts, the stunned people immediately drew out their weapons subconsciously and ran towards the city wall. The soldiers who returned to the camp, before they had time to pick up the hot food on the table, immediately picked up the weapons around them and rushed towards the city wall.
Leave the camp and run to the city wall!
When the residents in the city heard the bell that sounded when the city was being attacked, they hid in their houses in fear! This bell also rang last winter, which was a sign that the orcs were coming to attack!
For a moment, the entire karst city was tense. The ranger responsible for delivering the order ran into the stable without even having time to put on his armor. He took the horses that the groom had prepared and galloped away from the south gate, taking the south gate with him.
The hope of the defenders disappeared in the heavy snow.
Bhopal climbed onto the city wall and looked outside the city wall. In an instant, his heart fell to the bottom.
Looking at the astonishing numbers in the distance, he knew that it would be difficult to hold on with only the two thousand soldiers in his hands, and he could only hope for rescue by mobile troops.
"Sir, the herald has already set off. However, no one knows what accidents may happen in such heavy snow. Please order some heralds to be sent!"
"Okay, hurry up and prepare, and then send three heralds to Duer City overnight and tell them, just like what I said, if they can't come within a day, prepare to collect the bodies for us! This time it's not
Hundreds and thousands of orcs, that’s tens of thousands! Remember! It’s tens of thousands!” Bhopal loudly told the adjutant, asking him to tell the herald so that the troops in Dur City would know the critical situation.
After the adjutant took the order, the defenders had already prepared on the city wall and were distributing bows and arrows to each soldier.
Bhopal turned his head and continued to look at the orcs below the city.
At this time, Grom was commanding the orcs to advance in a human phalanx. The orcs in the first three rows used thick wood to hold their heads, and the defenders shot arrows from the city wall, while the orcs in the back row held several weapons.
A ladder made of wood tied together! Yes, it was a siege ladder. This method was taught by the dwarves. However, Grom still placed his greatest hope on the city gate. Dozens of orc warriors,
Wearing armor collected from the entire army, and protected by soldiers holding large shields around him, he rushed towards the city gate carrying a huge log!
Bhopal finally saw the movements of the orcs in the wind and snow, and immediately turned around and shouted: "Quick, notify the city gate! People get on top! They are going to hit the city gate! Quick!" The soldiers who heard this immediately put down their bows and arrows.
, ran towards the city gate.
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
The huge tree hit the thick city gate hard, making loud noises that made people's scalp numb.
Outside the city gate, the orcs shouted: "For the tribe!" and hit the city gate again and again while carrying giant trees.
Inside the city gate, more than fifty soldiers held one end of the wood against the city gate and the other end against the ground, forming a triangle with the city gate. They also stacked the city gate with people to resist the impact of the city gate.
Many soldiers who were directly pressed against the city gate had their ears and noses bleeding from the huge impact, and some of them were killed by the impact! The soldiers in the back row couldn't care less, and they were supporting the corpses of the soldiers in front.
Bhopal was worried about the city gate while directing the soldiers on the city wall to pour arrows desperately.
Many of the orc warriors carrying the giant trees were hit by arrows and fell down. But the warriors behind immediately took over their positions. In this way, the city gate gradually deformed amidst bursts of loud noises.
The orc army formation commanded by Grom slowly advanced towards the city wall. After reaching the strike range of the bow and arrow, Grom waved his hand, and the orcs carrying the ladder rushed out of the army formation at a desperate speed.
, set up a long ladder!
Bhopal had to gather its soldiers, replace their bows and arrows, pick up their spears, and prepare for hand-to-hand combat.
One ladder after another was knocked down by the human soldiers, but more orc warriors climbed up the city wall, and were greeted by sharp spears.
"Poof!" As soon as a warrior climbed onto the city wall, he was severely pierced by a human soldier with a spear. The sharp spear tip pierced the thin leather armor, and blood came out from behind!
"Ah! For the tribe!" The orc warrior walked forward step by step, holding the spear that penetrated his chest, the spear tip gradually increasing the distance from behind.
"Ah! Go to hell!" When the human soldiers saw that the orcs were still swinging their weapons to attack them, the human soldiers put down their spears with red eyes and roared, pulled out the swords from their waists, and slashed at the stubborn orcs!
"Crack!" The orc warrior's head, with eyes wide open in anger, was thrown into the sky along with blood.
"Poof!" Before he could make a move, the human soldier who killed the orc warrior was killed by the orc who followed closely. Then, the orc who had just come up was stabbed by the spear of another human soldier.
He walked through it, took two steps, and fell down the city wall. The melee began.
In this way, in the brutal hand-to-hand combat, the originally white city wall slowly turned red, and the snow melted by the warm blood slowly gathered under the heavy snowfall, flowing down the city wall like a waterfall.
