Heroes of the Invincible Knight

Chapter 504 The Fortress That Is Hard to Break

Dragon Scale Fort is stuck at the throat of the northern dense forest. The orcs want to enter the human territory from the northern dense forest. Dragon Scale Fort is a pass that must be passed. It is the gate of the northern section of the Longxiguan defense line, and it can be regarded as a military strategist. The battleground.

It's just that the orcs used to attack from the northern dense forest from east to west, but now it's just the opposite. The orcs are attacking from west to east, from the direction of the human territory to the northern dense forest. Fortunately, there is no pros and cons to the construction of Dragonscale Fort. The city defenses on all sides are very solid. Even if the orcs attack from west to east, they can still deal with it calmly.

Outside Dragonscale Fort, the autumn atmosphere is strong, and the banner of the orcs is fluttering in the autumn wind. The coach Sean is standing in the big camp, looking awe-inspiringly at the battlefield that is constantly shouting and killing.

Sure enough, Dragonscale Fort was not so easy to win.

This is already the second day after the orc army arrived at the city of Dragonscale Fort. When hundreds of thousands of troops arrived at the city of Dragonscale Fort, the army's food and grass were only enough for three days, and the supplies were only one city away from the army. After getting off the Dragonscale Fort, the army's logistics and supplies will be able to keep up immediately.

After the army arrived at the city, Sean started without any hesitation. The orc artisans quickly assembled the catapults. Because it was the last siege battle, all the stone bombs and kerosene bombs stored in the army were poured into the Dragon Scale Fort. On the city wall, when it was the most violent, stones covered the entire Dragonscale Fort like rain, and then the orc army quickly pushed the siege weapons such as well rails, ladders, and shield vehicles to launch a fierce attack on the four sides of Dragonscale Fort. Because they were eager to take down Dragon Scale Fort, the orcs didn't engage in any tactic of encircling the three and missing one, and they came up with the posture of wanting to take down Dragon Scale Fort immediately.

It's just that although the large-scale stone bombs bluff people, it is difficult to cause enough damage to a strong castle like Dragonscale Fort. They just punched some stone holes on the wall. The soldiers on the city are experienced veterans. There was almost no fear of the stone bombs, and each of them found a good angle to hide, and did not suffer too many casualties.

In the end, the war will be decided by the way of orcs attaching ants to attack the city. It stands to reason that this city with only 5,000 people stationed should be easily broken under the full attack of the orc army. After all, the orc army not only has the advantage of individual combat power , also has an absolute advantage in number, and the complete range of siege equipment has offset many of the advantages of sticking to the city.

But the actual situation is just the opposite. It fully confirmed Sean's previous worries. The army besieged Dragonscale Castle for a whole day, but did not make any progress. Soon after the city was driven down by the defenders.

It's not that the orc warriors are not brave enough, but that the human defenders on the four walls actually have sky-level powerhouses sitting there. The three outstanding swordsmen and Eileen each guard one wall. Dragonscale Castle is a small city and needs to be defended. The area is not wide, and a sky-level powerhouse can just take care of a city wall.

Every time the orc warriors charged up the city wall, they would be struck by thunder from sky knight-rank masters. A dozen warrior-rank orcs could not withstand a few swords from a sky-rank master. The defense of Dragonscale Fort was actually complete In addition to the four sky-level masters, the remaining thousands of human soldiers are supporting operations to prevent these masters from falling into the siege of the orcs.

What's more terrible is that there are hundreds of precious flying troops in the sky. These flying troops are not the weak sword eagle knights in the past. Compared with the sword eagle knights, these human air cavalry in the sky are much stronger. Those female knights riding flying horses are all masters of the knight rank, and they can support any position on the city wall at any time. A Dragon Scale Fort is actually guarded airtight by this little force.

At this time, armor, weapons, and corpses were scattered all over the ground under Longlin City. The ground was softened by blood. Most of these corpses belonged to orcs. Because there was no time to clean up the corpses, the orc corpses were almost surrounded by Longlin. The fort was paved with one floor, and almost all the orcs who attacked today stepped on the corpses of their companions to attack.

"boom!"

"kill!"

Amidst the shouts of killing, another well fence approached the city wall of Dragonscale Fort, and the wooden boards slammed heavily on the wall. The first was a big orc warrior wearing thick double-layer armor, and only orcs Only a tall body can wear such a heavy armor, it is like a human bulldozer. When this big orc warrior landed on the wooden board, the whole board shook, and the orc warrior behind him felt sweaty. I'm afraid that he directly crushes the only channel.

Fortunately, the thick wooden board still withstood the test of this overweight orc warrior, and did not collapse after being shaken. The orc warrior roared and raised his battle ax to lead the follow-up few orc warriors and dozens of orc warriors rushed to the city wall.

It's just that there was a vague feeling of uneasiness in this roar. He was not deterring the enemy, but just emboldening himself. After a day of fighting, the attacking orcs also knew what they were going to face.

It only took a blink of an eye for the orcs to rush from the well fence to the city wall, and the leading orc warrior quickly rushed to the city wall of Dragonscale Fort. Originally, this kind of passage connected to the well fence should be surrounded by heavy soldiers. Try to suppress the play space of the enemy troops rushing down.

But after the orc warrior landed, there were only a few human soldiers scattered around him, some distance away from him, and only one human looked at him.

It was a human being whose size was not inferior to his at all. If it wasn't for the fact that the skin color of the other party was clearly human from a small amount of exposed skin, he would have suspected that the other party was also an orc.

The human on the opposite side was holding an epee that was even more exaggerated than his battle axe. He was wearing a short scarlet cloak that was too conspicuous on the battlefield. His entire face was covered under the helmet, but only through the With the eyes exposed in the hole, the orc warrior could feel a strong sense of crisis and oppression, like the creepy feeling of being stared at by some extremely dangerous creature.

The strong survival instinct gave him an urge to run away, but the next second, the big orc warrior felt ashamed of his cowardly thoughts, and in shame, the big orc warrior simply raised his battle axe Attack towards the opponent.

"kill!"

"clang!"

"Hey!"

"So fast..."

Courage cannot make up for the gap in combat power. It is difficult for a great warrior to make waves in front of Zhuo Jue Swordsman. In this kind of battle, Zhuo Jue Swordsman is more terrifying than top-level troops like Archangel , Compared with other top-level arms that rely on racial advantages to gain great strength, Zhuojue swordsmen are ordinary humans who have truly been killed from the mountains of corpses and seas of blood, and the battlefield is completely their home field.

Although the big orc warrior took the initiative to attack Zhuojue swordsman, he didn't even have a chance to swing his axe. Zhuojue swordsman was obviously wearing heavy armor, but he moved surprisingly fast. The huge sword in the sword made it as flexible as a light sword. The moment he turned sideways, he removed an arm of the opponent, and then made a sword from the side, directly cutting off half of the orc warrior's waist.

The thick double-layer heavy armor still looks fragile in front of the fighting spirit of the Zhuo Jue warrior Sky Rank.

"boom!"

The great orc warrior who was almost cut in half by the outstanding swordsman fell heavily to the ground, holding a battle ax in one hand and trying to maintain a kneeling position, as if he wanted to struggle to fight again, but the orc warrior whose spine was cut in half The samurai couldn't stand up no matter what, blood overflowed along the edge of the battle armor, and slowly flowed to the ground.

And Swordsman Zhuo Jue didn't look back and continued to rush towards the orc warrior coming down the well after he drew his sword. He was very aware of the damage caused by his sword. The opponent had almost no chance of surviving, so there was no need for him to waste his energy.

"kill!"

"ah!"

"clang!"

Zhuo Jue swordsman's entry into several orc warriors is like a tiger entering a herd of sheep. These heavily armored orc warriors usually bring a lot of trouble to the human army when they appear on the battlefield, but at this time they were defeated by Zhuo Jue. The swordsman fell down like chopping melons and vegetables, and the place where the heavy sword passed brought out blood and broken limbs. The dozen orcs who had just followed the big orc warrior were killed by the outstanding swordsman.

Just like that, Swordsman Zhuo Jue didn't think it was enough, so he went to the inside of Jing Lan along the road built by Jing Lan.

"boom!"

"Run!"

The orcs attacking along the well never expected that there would be some defenders coming along the well. They were really unprepared. After being killed by Zhuo Jue swordsman, the attack was interrupted. , The orcs who were on standby to attack in the well collapsed collectively, unable to hold on and escaped from the well.

"snort!"

Zhuo Jue Swordsman saw that he had interrupted the opponent's attack, so he didn't pursue him deeply. It was okay to fight on the Jinglan, where the orcs couldn't spread out, so he wouldn't be besieged. If you fly out without consuming your battle energy in time, you will be at risk of being besieged and killed.

"Soldiers who just escaped from the well will be executed immediately. Orcs don't need such cowards."

"Yes, Lord Sean!"

Sean also saw the battle on the city wall from a distance, and of course he knew that a strong man like Zhuo Jue Swordsman was not something ordinary soldiers could fight against, but a military order is a military order, which may be understandable in reason, but military law must not be tolerated .

"Lord Sean, it's not an option to continue fighting like this. The soldiers rushed forward as if they were dying."

The casualties of the orcs' attack became more and more serious, and even the officers around Sean couldn't stand it any longer. The attacking troops bumped into Zhuo Jue swordsmen one by one on the city wall. no.

"I don't have time to worry about casualties. I ordered the troops to continue attacking and put in two legions. Within three days, Dragonscale Castle must be broken, otherwise everyone will fight hungry."

"Yes, Lord Sean!"

If it was normal, Sean wouldn't be fighting like this. The four sky-level powerhouses on the opposite side defended the city. On the city wall where it is difficult to take advantage of numbers, it is difficult to even siege. The soldiers who rushed up were completely fighting. Refueling tactics are very undesirable.

Either there are enough strong men to lead the team to forcibly break the situation, or simply carry out a siege, but obviously neither method will work here, Sean has only one choice, and that is to continue to use the lives of his soldiers.

Sky-level powerhouses are also flesh and blood creatures, and their fighting spirit will always be exhausted, and there will always be times when they are tired. He doesn't believe that the sky-level masters on the walls of the city are all iron-clad and can fight continuously under the continuous attack of hundreds of thousands of troops. Well, even if it was made of iron, an army of hundreds of thousands should wear down a layer of iron.

Under Sean's strong order, the orc army that had just been repulsed launched an attack on Dragonscale Fort again. After additional siege troops were dispatched, the orc's offensive was even more violent than the one just now.

"dash forward!"

"kill!"

"The retreater dies!"

Sean's idea is correct. Although Zhuojue Swordsman and Elena are powerful, they are not made of copper and cast iron. Even if they don't have to face too many orcs at once on the city wall, they will still run out of fighting spirit and exhaust their energy. After one day of fighting, the number of orcs who died at the hands of each of them was already over a thousand, but their grudges were basically exhausted. , At most, it can last for another day, and two days and two nights of continuous combat are basically the limit of the sky-level powerhouse.

When Eileen and Zhuojue swordsman couldn't hold on anymore, the ordinary soldiers on the city wall would definitely have difficulty resisting the attack of the orc army.

However, the defenders of Dragonscale Fort had already thought about this problem. When Elena led the army to stand firm in Dragonscale Fort, Sir Mrak and Taris had already lurked around the battlefield with the cavalry. It is very easy for a team of only a few dozen people to hide in the surrounding forest.

"The orcs are attacking like this. Is there no problem with Elena? Should we make a move?"

The strength of the orcs' attack made Talis a little worried. They took away a new force in Dragonscale Fort and did not move out for a long time. Now that Dragonscale Fort is under fierce attack, Taris is afraid that Dragonscale Fort will appear before they make a move. Accident.

"Trust Eileen and the others. On the battlefield, you can always trust the outstanding swordsmen. It's still a little too late to make them unable to hold on. We will rescue them at night."

Before the orcs attacked the city, Sir Mrak and others took this mixed cavalry team composed of champion knights and unicorns to lurk outside the city. After all, it was too wasteful to use champion knights as infantry to defend the city. In the wild, champion knights are at their best.

With such a force, both Sir Mrak and Talis have the confidence to lead them to turn the orc army upside down.

"Wait until it gets dark and start to act, see clearly where the orc army's siege equipment is piled up, and try to destroy all of them."

"Um"

The goal of this team is also very clear, that is, the siege equipment prepared by the orcs. Once the orcs' siege equipment is destroyed, the orcs will lose their means of siege in a short time, and wait for them to create a batch of siege equipment Come, famine has already begun in the camp.

Amidst the sound of fighting, the sun slowly set on the hill, and the blood-red sunset formed a counterpoint to the blood-red ground.

As night fell, the moon gradually replaced the sun in the sky, and a layer of white gauze covered the earth.

Although the attack of the orcs slowed down due to the fall of night, there were still a large number of orc soldiers holding torches and continuing to attack. Sean did not intend to give Dragonscale Castle any respite, and the movements of the outstanding swordsmen on the city wall began to change. The attack was slow, and the double consumption of physical strength and grudge made even a swordsman as strong as the outstanding swordsman a little bit overwhelmed.

The orcs seem to see that the hope of breaking the city is just around the corner...
