Heroes of the Invincible Knight

Dragon's Breath

East Ridge Front

This is the most forward defense line of the Longguan defense line. A city wall that stretches for more than ten miles is built on the slope of the East Ridge, across the road of the orcs going west. If the orcs want to break through from the center line, they must bite down first. Dongling is a tough bone.

"Is the First Legion ready?"

"General Casas, the army is ready and ready to attack at any time."

Casas was the front-line commander of the battle of the orcs. He commanded more than 200,000 troops from ten legions. His mission was to break through the human defense line at East Ridge and wipe out all human defenses on the center line. Arrived directly under Longxi Pass.

These days, he has been stationed in front of the humans' East Ridge defense line. In addition to dividing troops to clean up the surrounding watchtowers, he is also preparing siege equipment. Although the craftsman style of the orcs is different from that of humans, the level is not bad. Between brothers and sisters, a large number of siege equipment can also be created.

Casas glanced at the more than 20,000 troops lined up in front. They were pushing more than a dozen well rails, more than 20 shield vehicles, and a large number of ladders and long ladders. Preparation.

Casas nodded in satisfaction, and said to the adjutant beside him, order the First Army to launch an attack.

"yes!"

Kasas gave an order, and drums sounded in the orc camp, and the 20,000 orcs of the First Legion began to divide into several square formations, pushing the siege equipment and attacking the defense line of Dongling.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Before the orc army arrived, the trebuchet positions arranged by the orcs were the first to show their power. A large number of stones were smashed against the city wall of the Dongling defense line. The trebuchets of this era are generally accurate, and the error is within 50 meters. But when the number increases, it can still feel like a sky full of stone rain, effectively suppressing the defenders on the city wall.

The orcs didn't expect dozens of trebuchets to smash down the city walls that humans had been operating for hundreds of years, they just created conditions for the siege troops.

The gravel smashed on the city wall, and the human soldiers could not stand still and be smashed. Some soldiers hid at the corners of the city wall with their shields on their backs. These places are dead ends for catapults to throw stones. It is for the soldiers to avoid.

But there were always a few unlucky ones who were injured by the flying stones, and there were screams from the city wall from time to time, and the orcs threw hundreds of stones down, always causing casualties to dozens of human soldiers.

…

"Order No. 3 trebuchet position to prepare!"

"Towards a 45-degree southeast corner, replace all arson bombs."

"emission!"

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

In the face of the orc's trebuchet, the human side is not without countermeasures. After all, it has been in business for so long. If there is no way to counter the trebuchet, then the dragon's breath gatekeepers in the past are too incompetent.

There are four catapult positions in the entire Dongling defense line, arranged on a gentle slope and covered by the city wall. Once the orc catapults are fired and the target is exposed, the catapults on Dongling can immediately launch a counterattack.

Dozens of arson bombs smashed into the array of orc catapults, igniting several catapults at once, and the surrounding orcs rushed up to put out the fire, which relieved the pressure on the defenders on the city wall.

"No. 4 trebuchet position, prepare 500 meters before the pass."

"emission!"

"Bang! Bang!"

Dozens of stone bullets directly hit the attacking orc army. These attacking orcs did not have a place to hide like the humans on the city wall. Those who attacked from the flat ground could only hide behind the shield car well at most. , Most of them can only stand in the open space with their shields up and carry them hard.

The power of these ten-pound stones thrown by the trebuchet is simply not something that ordinary heavy armor can resist. If it is hit at random, it will be killed in one blow. Only a strong orc at the level of a great warrior can directly use his grudge to split the stone bullets in mid-air to resist. Even a moving well fence was immediately disintegrated when it was hit by a stone bullet, and the well fence more than ten meters high It collapsed directly from the waist, causing the orc soldiers who pushed the well around to flee.

What's more terrible is that some stone bullets shattered after falling to the ground, and the flying stones splashed were also powerful. Even if they couldn't break the armor after hitting the orc soldiers, they could cause certain internal injuries. combat power.

This round of stone bombs alone caused dozens of orc casualties, and the catapults of the human defenders did not stop attacking. When the orc army marched to a distance of 300 meters in front of the city wall, it was hit by stone bombs again. .

It is not easy to adjust the attack distance and angle for trebuchets in this era. Generally speaking, it is difficult to attack moving military targets.

But humans also have a solution, which is to arrange a few more catapult positions, adjust the distance and launch angle in advance, and when the orc attacking troops enter the attack range of another catapult, they will immediately encounter another attack. Attack of the wheel trebuchet.

"boom!"

"boom!"

"ah!"

Nearly a hundred stone bullets flew towards the attacking orc army again, and about half of them fell into the orc formation, causing dozens of orc casualties.

However, this level of casualties can't even hit the morale of the orcs. The orc army that attacked in the first round was all elites from the northern grassland army, and they were fighters who were used to life and death. Brave and brave, most of them live in a poor environment. Some tribes of orcs will even take the initiative to walk into the blizzard on the plateau when they are old. They see death much less than humans. When it falls, the orcs behind it will immediately catch up and continue to push the equipment forward, while the other orcs still hold their shields and follow the siege equipment.

"boom!"

"boom!"

"boom!"

The commanders on the side of the orcs were not just for nothing. When the catapults in the East Ridge continued to show their strength and caused casualties to the attacking orcs, the orcs also roughly judged the location of the human catapults based on the flight trajectory of the stone bullets, and responded to them. The human trebuchets fought back, which also caused trouble for the human trebuchet positions.

"Master Taize! The No. 7 trebuchet position was attacked by orcs with arson bombs! Five trebuchets were lost!"

"Let them transfer the trebuchet to the tenth position to wait, and don't fight back for now!"

"Yes, my lord!"

Taize's tent stood on the back of a gentle slope behind the East Ridge, where he had a wide field of vision, allowing him to observe the situation of the entire battlefield and grasp the dynamics of the battlefield at any time.

At this time, the orc attacking army has approached the city wall of Dongling, and the battle that really determines success or failure is about to begin. Although the trebuchets have some effects in this era, it is still difficult to play a decisive role in the battle like the God of War artillery. , especially in this era of extraordinary force, in the end the war still has to be fought with real swords and guns.

"kill!"

There is no doubt about the bravery of the orc warriors. The first few thousand-man teams quickly set up long ladders and began to attack. The movements of these heavily armored orc warriors were not greatly affected. Among them, the brave ones held weapons in their mouths, but In a few seconds, he rushed up to the ten-meter-high city wall.

"boom!"

However, the orc warriors rushing up at this time were facing human soldiers waiting in full battle. Most of them were smashed down by stones thrown from the wall when they climbed halfway, and those spiked crossbars fell down. Going down can even empty the orc warriors on the entire long ladder.

"Boil it!"

"fall!"

"ah!"

"Zizizi!"

The Dongling defense line is well prepared, with almost all conceivable defensive facilities in place, from rocks, wood, kerosene, to catapult machine tools, almost everything is available. As soon as the orcs approached the city wall, a large amount of water was poured from the city. The hot oil in the pot, and the orc soldiers who were splashed with the hot oil all let out screams. When the boiling hot oil was poured on the orcs, there was a sizzling sound, which directly scalded a layer of skin. There is a smell of meat.

"boom!"

Along with the hot oil, there were also torches, and several long ladders were directly ignited and could not be used.

But these are just appetizers, and even these orcs who attacked with long ladders were just cannon fodder to disperse human forces. After several long ladders were burned, more orc warriors rushed from behind the shield car with long ladders Come out and continue to attack without the slightest hesitation.

But the focus of the attack finally fell on the dozens of huge well rails.

"aim!"

"put!"

"Swoosh, whoosh, whoosh..."

As the well was getting closer, the rain of arrows on the city wall shot at the well one after another. There was a heavy template in front of the well, and even the orcs put iron sheets on the front, and the arrows were about to penetrate the well. It is almost impossible to do it in the well, but the purpose of these arrows was not to directly hurt the orcs in the well.

These arrows are wrapped in cloth strips soaked in kerosene, and after being ignited, they shoot at the nearby well fence. They have only one purpose, which is to ignite the well fence.

However, this task is quite difficult to complete, and the orc craftsmen are not stupid. Naturally, they know what the well fence is most afraid of. Although the well fence is made of wood, it has been separated layer by layer. Excellent, except for two small fires that were quickly extinguished, there were a lot of fire arrows on the other wells, but there was no sign of burning.

"boom!"

The nearest well fence has completely approached the city wall, and the thick wooden passage smashed heavily on the wall, forcing several human soldiers back. This wooden passage is nearly two meters wide, enough for two orcs The soldiers passed by in parallel. When the road leading to the city wall was built, the orc warriors who had been hiding in the belly of the well quickly rushed towards the city wall.

"kill!"

This road leading to the city wall is not so easy to walk. Human knights have long guarded the section of the city wall near Jinglan with elite forces. The defense line of Dongling is not short of troops now. Hundreds of thousands of troops have been deployed, and there are not a few strong knights.

When the first orc warrior jumped down from the passage through the well, what greeted him were spears stabbing from all directions.

The orc warrior was so strong that he couldn't stop several long spears coming at him, and he was quickly driven off the city wall.

"boom!"

"kill!"

At this time, an orc warrior fell directly into the ranks of human soldiers, and swept down several human soldiers with a swing of the battle ax in his hand. When he reached the top of the well, relying on his warrior-level strength, he jumped directly into the crowd from a higher place.

Although it was a dangerous move, the effect was really good. An orc warrior jumped into the formation, causing confusion among the human soldiers, and even the attacking orcs found a chance to rush to the city wall.

"The Cavaliers!"

"East Jiuduan support!"

In order to deal with the orc warriors relying on bravery to break through, Taize also gathered some knights as a supporting force on the city wall. When a section of the city wall was found to be in crisis, the knights reacted quickly and surrounded the breakthrough orc warriors.

"Hey!"

"clang!"

Although the orc warriors are brave, they are also among the human soldiers in the brigade. These dragon guards are all well-trained and regular troops of the kingdom. After experiencing the panic at the beginning, they quickly reacted. Under the leadership of the leader, he launched a siege on the orc warrior, and soon the orc warrior was enraged by a few spears.

"kill!"

"Drive me out of the orc!"

The battle on the city wall is still under the control of humans for the time being. Although the orcs have successfully obtained the opportunity to fight hand-to-hand on the city wall through the wells, the number of them is small after all. Only a thousand soldiers can climb the city wall at a time.

At the beginning, the orcs figured out the superiority in force and occupied several openings so that more soldiers could climb to the top of the city and gradually expand the results of the battle. However, the human soldiers refused to give up an inch. In a very small range, it is difficult to make any big breakthroughs.

"Order the Fifth Banner Regiment to move to the west, let the reserve Seventh Banner Regiment go up, and then join a cavalry team to act together. Don't let the orcs on the city wall find any chance!"

"Yes, Master Taize!"

Following Taize's order, the human soldiers on the defense line made slight adjustments. If someone could overlook the overall situation from the sky at this time, they would find that every movement of the human army was just right, and the commander used every team to the limit like a micromanager.

At present, there is only Taize who dares to command the army in this way. In the hands of those who are not skilled enough, it is easy to become a random command that is out of reality. Changes are changing rapidly, and the commanders in the rear are often unable to grasp this change as quickly as possible.

But Taize's command seemed to be as he expected. Some support troops even arrived at the place where the orcs were about to break through ahead of time. As soon as the orc warriors opened the gap, they were quickly blocked by the reinforcements dispatched by Taize. The orc who had to attack was extremely uncomfortable.

…

The battle lasted from the morning until the afternoon when it was close to sunset, and half of the wells that had been continuously devastated by the fire arrows finally started to catch fire. The attacking orc army finally waited for the order to retreat after leaving tens of thousands of corpses.

After the golden sound of "Dang, Dang" retreated, the attacking orcs receded like a tide...

…
