Heroes of the Invincible Knight

Chapter 615 Defending the City 4 (Wait a moment)

"kill!"

On the fourth day of the battle, both sides in the air battle suffered heavy casualties. Nearly half of the white dragons were killed, and even the patriarch of the holy rank was injured. These days, they huddled and licked their wounds, waiting for follow-up support. Adrilo and Gero didn't force the White Dragon to fight anymore, and Molly's side also felt uncomfortable. Not only was she seriously injured and needed to recover slowly, but her subordinates also suffered serious losses. The Griffin was almost completely lost. More than half of the horse riders were lost, and even the ancient golden dragon, the poisonous dragon, was killed. If it wasn't for the angel's great resurrection after the war, the two poisonous dragons might be in danger.

The two sides met in the sky and lost both sides, and the focus of the battle was only the ground battle. This is undoubtedly more beneficial to the orcs, after all, the orcs have too much advantage on the ground.

The shouts of killing have basically come from the city wall, and the decline of the defenders is very obvious. The orcs have basically established a foothold on the city wall. Although the defenders are still under the leadership of the system army, they are repeatedly fighting for the control of the city wall with the orcs. Right, but everyone knows that if no miracle happens, the orc army will be able to completely take down the city wall by tonight at most.

From the bottom of the wall to the top of the wall, there are almost all corpses. People from both sides have been stepping on the corpses and fighting since the third day. There is no time for either side to stop and clean up the corpses. At first, the orcs passed through the well outside the city wall. Climbing the city with the ladder, on the third day, some orc warriors even stepped on the pile of corpses several meters high and rushed up the city wall in two steps.

"Explode thunder!"

"Throw it over and blow up these green-skinned monsters to death."

On a section of the city wall, several orc warriors led an attack with dozens of heavily armored warriors. The crusaders who were originally the backbone of the city defense battle fell to the ground at this moment, apparently killed by the orc warriors. During the siege, the human soldiers without the leadership of the Crusaders retreated steadily under the impact of several orc warriors, and they were about to be completely wiped out.

But at this moment, a few human soldiers came over holding a large thin iron can, and under the command of the officer, they ignited the rope on the can tremblingly, and then immediately let go, as if they were afraid of something, the surrounding soldiers Seeing them coming up, he even took a few steps back and covered his face with his hands.

Most of these iron cans are filled with a mixture of black powder, iron sand and iron bombs. Once exploded, the surrounding five or six meters are within its killing range, and the splashed iron beads have a certain chance of piercing armor.

But the disadvantages are also obvious. This kind of experimental early firearm, because the power of gunpowder is not enough, it is not necessary to load a large amount of gunpowder in order to cause damage, which leads to every mine being made like a pickle jar. You can only hold it firmly with two hands, and you can't throw it very far. And the stability is very poor. You can tell from the terrified appearance of the soldiers that this thing must have blown up their own people. Originally, these black powders were only carried in the army and were not used much. Now, they don’t care about any shortcomings. When fighting on the city wall, the hot oil and golden juice are not very effective. The orcs' mass charge had some effect.

The defenders were lucky this time. The mine didn't explode on its own during use, and the user's arms and legs were removed, and it successfully fell among the orcs. The attacking orcs saw a few dark things thrown by the humans, and subconsciously dodged them for a while, and then they didn't care too much when they saw those burning sparks hit the ground.

Just looking at the expectant eyes of those human remnants on the opposite side, what happened?

"Boom! Boom! Boom"

In the next few seconds, the thunderbolts thrown by the human soldiers exploded one after another, and a few puffs of black smoke rose in the orc team. The orc warriors next to the thunderstorms only felt their ears buzzing, and were a little dazed by the sound of the explosions around them. , and then there was a stabbing pain in the arm. The iron sand after the explosion did not penetrate the thick helmet and the armor in front of them, but the weaker protection on the arm was difficult to resist the splashing iron sand and iron flakes. One-third of the orc warriors fell down on the spot, and the rest also suffered injuries of varying degrees.

"kill!"

This level of gunpowder weapons must be unqualified in Li Cha's eyes. The opponent's formation is so dense, and several explosive mines with such a large charge explode in the formation, and two thirds of them can still stand.

But the human defenders were greatly encouraged when they saw the results of the battle, and the knight who led the team rushed towards the still-shocked orc warrior without saying a word.

Most of the orc warriors who were bombed by the thunder just now have not recovered yet, and they still have some injuries on their bodies. Now they are naturally retreating after being counterattacked. The orc warriors who came up later It was only after responding that they stabilized their position, and the human defenders took advantage of the situation to regain a section of the city wall that was tens of meters long.

"Quick, bring some more bombs."

"boom!"

"boom!"

Explosions could be heard on the city wall from time to time. The use of a small amount of gunpowder weapons improved the local battle situation a little. Most of the orc warriors who had never seen gunpowder weapons were a little dazed when they encountered an explosion for the first time.

"The effect of these mine blasts is not bad."

"It's a pity that it's less powerful, and it's easy to hurt our own people. These things can't stop the orcs."

"I heard that Mr. Richard has an improved version. The power and stability have been increased. A batch of throwing ones have been created for the Dragon Army to use."

"Unfortunately, we don't need it now, the city wall is about to fail."

"Send a signal, prepare to retreat, let the city gate out, and act according to the plan."

"Yes, my lord!"

Facing the siege of an army of millions of orcs, the thirty-mile-long city wall cannot be defended no matter what. Even if people like Gru and Taize command it, it is difficult to face such a situation that can be overcome by force. Defending the city wall can only delay for a period of time, causing casualties to the orcs as much as possible.

After a few golden cries, the defenders who were still standing on the city wall immediately and orderly withdrew from the city wall and got into the streets of Sirgrad. The attacking orc warriors only stopped after a little pursuit. Controlling the city walls and opening the city gates is their main task.

"Lord Great Shaman, the city wall has been taken down!"

"The city gate is opening!"

When the human army took the initiative to retreat, the orcs quickly took down the city gate, hung a flag on a high place, pulled the noose, and slowly pulled up the large iron gate weighing several thousand kilograms.

The orc generals saw clearly from behind, and the joy on their faces was beyond words. In order to take this city, hundreds of thousands of people were killed or injured in a few days, and the casualties almost caught up with the total since they entered the Central Plains.

"Let the troops on the city wall control the high points to prevent human counterattacks, let the seventh and eighth legions enter the city immediately, kill all the humans they can see, and use the fastest speed to clean up the remaining human troops in the city."

"Yes, Lord Great Shaman!"

Gro, who had been tense all the time, breathed a sigh of relief after seeing the city gate open.

Finally, the city was taken down before the arrival of human reinforcements, and then the remnants of the enemy were wiped out, waiting for the human army in the north. Gro seemed to be calm before, but the defense strength of Sylgrad City far beyond imagination still made him worry for a while. He was afraid that the human reinforcements would arrive before the city was captured.

However, if you break through the city wall, will you win the city of Sylgrad?

If it was really that easy, then the system heroes like Gru, Taize, and Elena would be underestimated too much.

On the ancient battlefield, the destruction of the city wall basically declared the end of the battle. In many cases, it was not because the defenders' vital forces were wiped out, but more because of the collapse of faith and morale, which led to the weak will of the remaining defenders to resist. Orcs After fighting so many battles, they have captured countless human castles and cities. Although they encountered sporadic resistance from the defenders in the city, they were generally not successful, and the situation was never repeated. That's why Gero and the orc generals have such Misunderstandings are also normal.

In the city, there are more cruel battles waiting for them.

"kill!"

The first two legions, an orc army of nearly 50,000 people, entered the city when the sun was at its peak at noon. They pushed forward along the main street of Sirgrad City. They encountered resistance from some human soldiers, but were quickly repelled. The orc general didn't even send anyone to occupy the houses on both sides, and directly commanded the army to rush towards the center of the city.

"Speed ​​up, don't worry about those little mice, our task is to directly occupy the central City Lord's Mansion, and don't fall behind the Eighth Army!"

The orc vanguard who entered the city moved very quickly, and soon penetrated more than ten miles into the city, losing touch with the orc army on the city wall.

"Master Gru, the army of the orcs entering the city was very careless. They marched along the central avenue and did not find the ambushes on both sides at all. Now they have arrived at the predetermined position."

"snort!"

Gru snorted softly, a little disdainful of the orc's careless behavior. Fortunately, he had praised the other party before, but he didn't expect to start making mistakes so soon.

"Mrak and Taris can launch an attack. Didn't they say that they were about to suffocate? In addition, they also sent a signal to General Elena and General Rhodes. The two wings began to close the net. Use the fastest speed Kill these orcs."

"Taize organizes the defense line, and don't let the orcs on the city wall come to support too quickly."

"Yes, my lord!"

Although the city wall was lost, the command system of the human army still has no problems. The hundreds of thousands of troops are still tightly organized in the city. It is extremely strong, and the toughness of the army is terrible. The situation that the orcs imagined that all the routs were slowly cleared did not appear at all, or there was no so-called human rout at all. The so-called human routs in the city were staged. , The careless orc officer did not notice how different these human armies were from other human armies.

"General Mrak, the signal from Master Gru, we should go."

"Hey! Let's go, trample this group of orcs into meat paste!"

"Da da da"

Following Sir Mrak's order, there was a dense sound of horseshoes in the city. Apart from Taris, there were more than a dozen champion knights and more than two hundred elite centaurs following Mrak. Gru had no choice. Instead of turning champion knights into super soldiers and taking them to the city wall to consume, they found a suitable scene for them to play in the city.

A group of cavalry came out of a compound, and then rushed towards the orcs along the 30-meter main road of Sirgler.

How could there be the sound of hooves?

At this time, the distance between the two sides was not too far, and the hoofbeats of the heavy cavalry were quite heavy. As soon as Sir Mrak moved, the dense hoofbeats could be vaguely heard from the orc side. Although the orc general was puzzled, he still responded immediately Want to organize the defense.

"There are human cavalry, form an formation, hurry up!"

Because the advancing speed was too fast before, some orc soldiers ran into the houses on both sides, saying they were searching for the remnants of the human army, but they were actually looting. Now facing the surprise attack, there are not many people around him, and they are a little scattered. After the yelling, there were only five or six hundred people confused and formed a not-so-close formation, the kind that didn't even have a few spears. After all, who would carry a five- to six-meter long spear when entering the city to clean up the remnants.

This can stop the ghostly cavalry. Just when the head of the orc army was considering whether to order the troops to retreat to the two sides and temporarily withdraw from the main street, another soldier came to him and reported:

"Master Legion! A large number of human troops were found on the two wings, and they surrounded us!"

"Damn it! Didn't it mean that the two wings are just sporadic resistance and have been repulsed!"

"The messenger! Go for help!"

"Each banner regiment organizes its own soldiers and prepares for the battle!"
