Heroes of the Invincible Knight

Chapter 616 Entering the City

The orcs who entered the city were still showing off their power in the city a few minutes ago, but they were beaten back by human soldiers rushing out from all the streets in an instant.

Because they are not familiar with the terrain, many orcs even ran in the wrong direction in the chaos, and plunged into the human defenders of the brigade. Human archers appeared beside the walls, on the roof, and there were even some As soon as the haystack cloth used to cover the place was torn apart, the Shenwei Crossbow was aimed straight at the entrance of the alley, and fired at a distance of more than ten meters from the orc warrior, sending the opponent's body and armor flying more than ten meters away.

Some orc warriors were rather fierce, facing a large number of counterattacking human defenders, they were still trying to fight back.

"Steady!"

"kill!"

A team of about a hundred orcs was originally ordered to search for traces of human remnants along the streets east of the main road. As a result, they searched more than a dozen houses and found no traces of humans, not to mention soldiers, even a civilian. Did not see.

When the captain who was leading the army was agitated, he heard a burst of shouting and killing. At first, he thought it was the remnants of the human army making unnecessary resistance. Not only did he not panic, but he was overjoyed. There are traces of the human army.

But after listening carefully, I found that something was wrong. Such a dense clamor and killing sound did not seem like a movement that some remnants of the army could create, and the enemy troops came from all directions, which was more like a premeditated ambush.

The orc warrior who led the team didn't have time to think too much, and immediately called his men to prepare for the battle, but because he was too obvious in the crowd, several sharp arrows were already galloping towards him.

"Swoosh, whoosh, whoosh..."

A few flashes of white light flashed by, and before the orc warrior could see where the archer was, several feathered arrows pierced through his body. The heavy armor on his body could not save his life, and the arrows shot straight from the thickest After piercing through the breastplate and wounding several vital points, the orc warrior still grabbed the battle ax and swung it a few times, but he was completely exhausted when the human soldiers rushed close.

After struggling with the axe, it was held up by a small officer of the quasi-knight rank, and then he blocked it. The ax fell to the ground, and the orc warrior who was heavy with arrows no longer had the strength to support him and fell to the ground. The passing human soldiers Admiring his bravery, he deliberately smashed it down with the pickaxe in his hand, and continued to attack after confirming that his head was broken.

Such terrifying archers are naturally the phantom shooters who retreated from the city wall. Compared with fighting on the city wall, they retreated to the city. They were more flexible. Using their familiarity with the terrain, they caused greater damage to the orcs. In the city, the orcs can still hide in the blind spot of the phantom shooter by using the position of the shield car and the corner of the wall. However, in this kind of street battle, they feel that they will be attacked by the shooter no matter which direction they go. Constantly attacked by phantom shooters, this hundred-man squad became more and more chaotic, and was quickly wiped out by human soldiers surrounded by houses on the street.

"Withdraw, go back to the main street, and occupy the surrounding houses!"

After being attacked by the human army ambushing on both sides, these scattered orc soldiers instinctively retreated to the main street, but when they retreated, they found that the army on the main street had been smashed by human cavalry. More than a dozen champion knights and more than 200 centaur elites behind them are not something that the orcs who are not even prepared with long weapons can stop.

The chaotic orc army has basically lost its command. The leader of the orc army organized his men to form a formation to resist the first time Sir Mrak and Taris led the cavalry charge. Later, he was noticed by Mrak because he danced too happily His head was smashed open with a single hammer, and the rest wanted to stand up and command, but Mrak stared at them and solved them one by one. Even the army commander of the Great Earth Rank couldn't hold out in front of Mrak a few times, not to mention that these were only big warriors. What about the orc officer?

At this time, the orc army that entered the city not only failed to wipe out the remnants of the enemy as planned and completely occupied the city, but was deliberately calculated by the defenders, causing heavy casualties and falling into chaos. It was only a matter of time before they were completely divided and wiped out by the defenders.

"Your Excellency the Great Shaman! The Seventh and Eighth Legions were ambushed by the human defenders in the city, and have lost contact now!"

"What?"

"what happened?"

"Where is Skaarl? What does he eat!"

Hearing that the two legions were ambushed by the human army, the high-ranking orcs, including the great shaman, were all shocked. They didn't expect that humans were so resilient, and the city walls were lost, and they were still fiercely resisting in the city.

"General Skaarr has sent people to rescue, but the human army blocked the street."

Skaar was the senior orc general who led the army to besiege Cress City before. The strength of the peak of the earth rank, whether it is ability or personal strength, is very top-notch among the senior orc generals. He was the one who led the orc army to attack. Although the attack on the city wall was based on the absolute superiority of troops and the voluntary abandonment of the defenders, it could cause headaches for generals like Gru and Taize, and their ability cannot be denied anyway.

The orc army that entered the city was besieged for less than an hour, and Sgar sent reinforcements to support it, but they just bumped into the defense line run by Taize. Fighting in the complex street terrain was even more uncomfortable than the offensive and defensive battles on the outer city walls. , the phantom shooters that pop up from time to time, and some semi-concealed divine power crossbows made them suffer a lot in the attack. The orcs who experienced street fighting for the first time had no experience at all. After going in and being driven out, after fighting for a long time, they still didn't advance very far, let alone support the ambushed army.

"Let's talk about it. Humans are still resisting in the city. Is there any way to quickly take this city?"

"Extend the trebuchet one kilometer forward, smash it into the city, and destroy all the houses inside."

"I'm afraid there are no fewer than ten thousand houses in this city. How long will it take to smash them with hundreds of trebuchets?"

After all, Srgler is a big city with convenient water and land transportation. The city is not considered small. There may be a chance for hundreds of heavy artillery. If you want to use hundreds of trebuchets to destroy the entire city, you don’t know when it will go, and the orcs Now is the rush.

"How about using fire? Let Skaar command the army to set fire directly, and the catapults outside the city will fire petrol bombs into the city to force the defenders out."

"Most of the houses in the city are made of stone, and Sgar City is next to the river, so there is no shortage of water in the city. It is very difficult to cause a fire."

Several orc generals talked to each other, and the proposed method sounded reasonable at first glance, but after careful consideration, they found that the operation was either difficult to be effective, or time-consuming and labor-intensive.

In the end, it was Gero who made the decision to increase troops.

"Move another ten legions into the city, stop playing hide-and-seek games with humans in the city, spread out a line and move forward."

"Yes, Lord Great Shaman!"

Immediately after Gro gave the order, two senior officers around him began to rectify the troops and headed towards Sylgler for reinforcements.

In fact, there is still a large difference in combat power between the orcs and the defenders by seven or eight times. No matter how many arrangements Gru and Taize make in the city, as long as the orcs advance steadily, they can still guarantee to win Sylgrad. The time spent on the outer city walls has already exceeded the standard. If they continue to entangle in the city for a while, human reinforcements may have to arrive.

"Your Excellency Adrillo, how long will it take for the human army to reach Sylgrad?"

"According to the information I received, the human army has already changed boats in the valley today. From the valley to Sirgrad, it will take up to three days to arrive by going down the river."

Because of the existence of the Rising Sun God Sect, the orcs know a lot about human beings, and the actions of the Northern Army are under constant monitoring. It can be said that the orc army can progress so fast after breaking through the barrier, in addition to its own strength. , It is also inseparable from the information of the Rising Sun God Sect. Where the nobles have a firm will to resist, where the nobles have the willingness to surrender, where the army is stationed, and where the food and grass are hoarded, there is no need to send people to investigate. Adrilo came to know.

"Three days."

Hearing this time, Gero hesitated, and after much consideration, he made up his mind, summoned the two generals around him, and ordered:

"Take another ten legions up and attack regardless of casualties. I want you to completely occupy this city within three days."

"Yes, Lord Great Shaman!"

If they can't take down Srgler, the orcs will be a bit passive in their northward attack this time. After all, the human army relies on the Longjiang River and the water army. As long as they pass Srgler, they can go straight to the Golden Dragon City. It is completely human whether to fight or stay. Taking the initiative, if the opponent goes straight down the Longjiang River to Jinlongdu, then their army of more than one million people will have nothing to do but watch.

Night has fallen, and the orcs' attack still hasn't stopped. Although the defenders set up ambushes and killed many orcs the day before, and took advantage of the orcs' unpreparedness to win another big victory, the casualties of 10,000 to 20,000 orcs at this time were extremely serious for the orcs. It is nothing at all, and it will not improve the situation of the defenders. Under Gero's order, an army of nearly half a million orcs poured into the city. Instead of fighting in the streets with humans, they took advantage of their strength and spread out across the board, capturing every street. With torches advancing day and night, the defenders soon began to lose their strength. Not only the ordinary troops suffered heavy casualties, but even the system troops were constantly suffering casualties.

A dilapidated street was full of corpses from both sides. The casualties on both sides were almost the same. It was hard to tell which side had more casualties, but judging from the scene, it was the orcs who had the upper hand, because there was only one woman standing in a circle on the human side. In the middle of the corpses, the orcs were more than ten meters away, maintaining a dense formation, looking like they wanted to attack but hesitated.

"What's going on here? The Fifth Banner Regiment next to it has advanced more than a hundred meters. Why haven't you taken it down yet?"

There was no progress here for a long time, and it was discovered by the orc officer behind, and soon an orc general wearing a senior officer's armor came over and questioned.

"Master Legion, that human is too strong. The surrounding human army has long since died. She blocked us for almost half an hour. How many warriors went up died."

The orc warrior next to him immediately defended himself, and the legion commander also glanced at the other side through the firelight under the reminder of the other party. This glance made the orc leader gasp. There are both human and orc corpses, but human casualties should be higher. After all, there is a gap in combat power, and the close to one-to-one casualty ratio is due to the support of systematic troops and heroes.

But just looking at the feet of the woman on the opposite side, I found that the surroundings were densely packed, all of which were the corpses of orc warriors. It was estimated that there were at least two or three hundred people on the first day of the new year, and there was no corpse of a human soldier around. This woman killed two or three Centuries by herself, which made it impossible for him to be the head of the legion.

However, after taking a deep breath, the order that should be executed still needs to be executed. The order of the great shaman is to attack regardless of casualties, how can it be blocked because of this woman.

"You, lead the people to continue the attack, or the military law will do it! Don't let the Third Banner regiment be ashamed because of you cowards."

"My lord, we are not cowards!"

The head of the legion had already said so much, what could the orc warrior leading the team do, he could only look at that terrifying human woman, gritted his teeth and yelled to embolden himself.

"Warrior of the Orcs, for the kingdom! Come with me!"

More than a hundred orc warriors rushed up, and then a burst of white fighting spirit flashed, which was quite dazzling in the night, and accompanied by the dazzling light of fighting spirit came the screams of the orcs, a hundred orcs Less than a quarter of an hour after the team rushed up, they all turned into dead souls under the sword.

The human opposite just picked up the sword and wiped the blood on the sword with his sleeve on the spot.

"Keep attacking! I don't believe she can keep releasing her grudge."

Under the urging of the head of the legion, the orcs did not hesitate this time, and a new team rushed up immediately.

"The orcs are indeed a group of savages."

It was Elena who stood guard here. Although all the soldiers she led died in battle, she blocked the orc army for a long time by herself, and the orcs who killed them were frightened and did not attack for a while.

It's just that at this moment, her battle energy has indeed been almost exhausted.

Glancing at the leader of the orc army who was giving orders in the crowd, the other party seemed to feel it too, and took a step back into the crowd.

I had no choice but to give up the tempting idea. In order to avoid running out of fighting spirit and falling into the army, Elena still didn't go up, and chose to turn around and leave. The attacking orcs were relieved because of this, they would rather face monsters like the snake man , I don't want to meet this woman again.

After this battle is over, there should be a breakthrough.

Santo's Mansion

"Master Gru, if the orcs continue to attack like this, we may not be able to sustain the reinforcements from the Lord. Should we consider breaking out?"

"Don't worry, Mr. Richard already knows about our situation here. He sent someone to support us?"

"who?"

"An old acquaintance."
