General Keenster watched hundreds of meters away, tens of thousands of orc soldiers flocked to Thor fortress like a tide. Although most of the orc’s siege equipment were destroyed by human stone dumplings, the faces of those orc soldiers were Can't see the fear, they still rushed towards the Thor Fortress in a mess, they didn't even think about how to climb the nearly ten-meter-high wall of the Thor Fortress, as if their goal was to die under the Thor Fortress.

"A hundred thousand cowards are not as good as ten thousand fearless warriors." General Keenster whispered a famous saying by Fernando I. His voice was so small that even the Adjutant Hans standing next to him did not listen. clear. Just as Adjutant Hans was about to ask what General Keynst had said, General Keynst issued another order: "500 meters ahead of the target, indiscriminate ejection."

Ten thousand archers respectively loosened the bowstrings in their hands and fired arrows pointing to the sky, then drew another arrow from the quiver behind them, put it on the bowstring, drew the bowstring, and shot again Going out... the sky was suddenly covered by a "dark cloud". The archers stationed in Thor Fortress are the most elite archers of mankind. They have undergone years of rigorous training. If they are aimed at the enemy, they can shoot an average of 12 arrows per minute. If it is an indiscriminate ejection regardless of the target, these The archer only needs to forcefully shoot the arrows toward the enemy's sky. In that case, at least 15 feather arrows are shot per minute.

10,000 archers shoot 15 times per minute, that is, 150,000 feather arrows that can take the life of the enemy. The orc offensive forces do not have much protection at all. Under such intensive attacks by human archers, the loss is huge, as if raindrops. No, it should be said that feather arrows that are denser than raindrops fell from a high altitude and inserted into the head of the orcs. Or the front chest, immediately took a life.

The rain of arrows shot by the human archer covered the entire sky like a dark cloud. The attacking orcs were attracted by this sudden sight and raised their heads to watch. The hundreds of orcs who were the first to bear the brunt had no resistance at all, not even humming. When he hummed, he was shot by dense feather arrows, and withered to the ground.

Many orcs carrying a self-made wooden shield upon seeing it, immediately raised the simple wooden shield in their hands and blocked it directly in front of them to block the "Arrow Rain" attack. However, the feather arrows fired by human archers are too dense. With a small wooden shield alone, there is no way to completely envelop themselves. Moreover, the front end of the thrown feather arrow has a sharp arrow, plus With the attack power falling from a high altitude, a small amount of feather arrows directly penetrated the rough wooden shields made by the orcs, and directly attacked the orc soldiers' heads.

"Ah!" An orc who held up a shield and put it on top of his head as much as possible to prevent his own vitality from being shot by a feather arrow screamed, and a slender feather arrow penetrated his wood. The shield shot him in the head. The severe pain made the orc no longer hold the shield in his hand. His shield fell to the ground. The orc was holding the sparse hair on his head, and he had not done anything yet. No matter what the action, seven or eight feather arrows were inserted into his body, and he fell to the ground covered in blood.

Another clever orc soldier saw that he had hit a few arrows. He was so fierce that he lifted the body of a companion from the ground and put it on his head, using his dead companion to block him. Arrow rain. He is dead now, and there are only some cattle and sheep, but if he can climb the ten-meter-high city wall and kill a human soldier, he can get a horse and a good weapon.

Other orcs were inspired by him and picked up their fallen companions, filled with shields, and even a few undead orc soldiers were lifted above their heads by his companions. The screams from their companions aroused the fierceness of the orcs. They made a series of monosyllable shouts against their companion's corpse, carrying more or less feather arrows on their bodies, crazy. Ran towards Thor Fortress.

Behind these orc soldiers, the forward speed of several battering rams has also increased a lot, because many orc soldiers hid inside the ram, using the thick planks of the battering ram to avoid bow and arrow shooting. , And at the same time, these orcs pushed these siege equipment together, naturally speeding up their progress.

There are also many orcs who smashed their weapons and smashed down those scrapped stone dump trucks and parts of the siege ladder. Even if it’s a wooden board, it’s better than a charge without any protection and a siege ladder. The wooden ladder was completely dismantled by the orcs. Several orcs carried them forward and backward, and one person fell down with an arrow, and immediately the nearby orcs took the ladder and continued to rush forward.

The 30,000 army of the Black Hawk clan has less than 20,000 left by this time, and most of them are more or less wounded, but their fighting forces are getting stronger and stronger. The speed is getting faster and faster, and it gradually pushes into the wall of Thor Fortress. In the large open space behind the orcs, the corpses of the orc soldiers lay all over the place, densely packed bows and arrows stuck on the ground, and the white tail feathers pointed to the sky high, like a large lush forest. .Mobile viewing

At this moment, human archers can no longer use projectiles to shoot enemies, but they can lower the launch angle and use more precise shooting to continue to harvest the lives of the orcs, but the bows and arrows shot out are not available. Because of the impact of falling from a high altitude, it was already difficult to shoot through the orc's corpse.

"Your Excellency, the orcs are only 100 meters away. I beg you again, for your safety and the safety of Thor Fortress, please enter the command post immediately!" Adjutant Hans said anxiously in General Keenster's ear. He has even signaled to follow the general and guard chief next to him. If the general still insists on standing on the wall with almost no defensive measures, he will take General Keenster West away forcibly at all costs.

Fortunately, General Keenster did not hold on any longer. He gave the order to "prepare to fight" and hurriedly left the city wall with his guards and hid in the strong command post. Under the southern wall of Thor Fortress, there is a very strong small defensive fortress built. This is the command post. This small fortress is close to the wall. Due to the angle, it is almost impossible for the stone bullets thrown by the orc army to hit this place after crossing the wall of the Thor Fortress. As for the bows and arrows shot by the orcs, even if they really fall on the fortress, How is it possible to penetrate a wall that is at least one meter thick?

When resisting the attack of the orcs, especially the short-armed defensive battle, the top commander of the Thor Fortress will be here to understand the battle situation and command the battle through the messenger. If the top commander is stationed on a relatively weak defense and faces the wall attacked by the orc army, if a stream of the orcs hits the top commander of the Thor Fortress, how can the next defensive battle be fought?

When General Keynst withdrew from the city wall, the front-line commander General Clark assumed the responsibility of commanding the battlefield. He issued a series of instructions in accordance with the orders issued by General Keynst:

"The first brigade stepped forward and took over the position!"

The four messengers standing next to General Clark immediately raised the red and white two small flags in their hands, and quickly passed General Clark's orders to the messengers on both sides of the city wall through the semaphore. After receiving the instructions, the messengers immediately Shout out loudly to inform the captain standing near them, and at the same time they sent a semaphore to the next group of messengers on their left or right.

In a few minutes, General Clark’s orders spread across the entire wall of Thor Fortress. A large number of human warriors with sharp iron swords in one hand and iron shields in the other walked neatly to Thor Fortress. On the north side of the city wall, he was engrossed at the enemy who was less than 50 meters outside the city wall.

"All the archers gave up their positions, evacuated the walls to rest, and replenish their bows and arrows."

Those archers who had just fired continuously left the first line of defense immediately. Their bows and arrows were not very useful in hand-over combat. Besides, in the previous round of shooting, they had basically finished shooting in their quiver. It's time to add some feather arrows.

"The second squadron stepped forward, crossed positions with the first squadron, and cooperated in combat!"

Groups of human soldiers armed with long spears came to the edge of the city wall almost trotting all the way. These spear fighters are good at attacking distant enemies. The long spears in their hands are at least 3 meters long, plus the length of their arms to stab them out with all their strength. If you do, you can attack the climbing orc. However, the spear fighters are poor in their own protection and need the protection and cooperation of sword and shield fighters who are good at close combat and have good defensive capabilities.

"The fourth team is on standby, ready to support!"

A few meters away from the spear soldiers and sword and shield soldiers, groups of soldiers brought heavy rocks and woods, ready to give the enemy a fatal blow.

A long wooden ladder was placed on the wall of Thor’s fortress. A **** orc let out a weird cry and climbed up the wooden ladder. He was holding a leather whip in his hand. It was something his son used to graze, but if it was pulled **** a person, it could still roll up a long wound.

The orc raised his head and climbed halfway, he saw the faces of human soldiers appearing on the wall. The orc squeezed the whip in his hand, and was about to pull it out. A long spear stabbed down, and he stood on the wooden ladder, unable to escape, and was immediately pierced in the chest by the long spear.

The spear was swung vigorously by the human soldier, and the orc was weakened after being severely injured. He could no longer hold the wooden ladder by the spear, so he fell straight down and hit his companion. His companion cursed loudly, pushed hard against the orc on his head, grabbed the wooden ladder with one hand and quickly climbed up, while the other hand waved the bronze axe in his hand, not on his head. Stop waving, to block the spear stabbed by human soldiers
