Chapter 123: Defending the City (seeking a monthly ticket)
Orcs were just wearing simple leather armor, with an old one-handed sword around their waists. However, they were surrounded by ropes that looked like plant vines on their shoulders. One end of the rope was a large translucent sticky liquid bag, and the shape of an iron claw could be seen faintly inside, flashing with metallic light.
This is a companion vine of the special product of the Drano Terokka forest. It is light and tough and suitable for ropes. More importantly, it is difficult to cut it off with ordinary weapons. The tree houses built by the Crow Man on the trees are supported by this kind of vine. After the orcs wrapped the magic iron hook claws with special spells on one end, they wrapped the iron hook with the gum of Terokka. The iron claws in the gaps can play a role, and the gum in the air in a flat place will stick to it tightly, which is extremely firm.
A giant cannon was placed on the Jasper-Linged city wall at any distance. The middle-level officer calculated the distance of the orcs. Seeing that the orcs were about to enter the range of the artillery fire, he immediately shouted: "Arson, fire."
Due to the limited space of the city wall, only artillery is far away. The only thing that can cause damage to the orcs that are attacked is the artillery on both sides of the city gate. Therefore, there are only dozens of artillery roaring.
The artillery did not look at the result of his attack, but was busy cleaning up the artillery and loading the bullets.
Boom, boom, boom...
Dozens of huge shells, with a buzzing sound of breaking through the air, drew a parabola in the sky and exploded on the ground. These shells were only a little stronger than ordinary gunpowder bullets, and a small amount of flame essence was added to increase the explosion power of the shells.
The orcs had a scattered formation, and only a few unlucky guys were directly killed by shells. But it does not mean that the shells had no power. The iron balls in the shells sputtered around like bullets when the shells exploded. The orcs around the shells fell down like cutting wheat. The steel balls and iron balls directly penetrated their bodies.
The formation of orcs suddenly appeared dozens of blank areas, and the orcs who were not penetrated by steel balls were wailing in pain on the ground.
The orcs' attack did not stop, and they did not look at their companions who were lying on the ground and wailing, and quickly ran towards the city wall.
Boom, boom, boom...
The artillery fire rang again, and the life of the orcs was constantly harvesting the orcs.
Orgrim had returned to his calmness. He had put on a black robe with a hood, which looked very strange.
"The Hard Workers' Legion keeps up and sends another 20,000 yuan. The attack strength is not enough now."
Orgrim's order was conveyed quickly, and another 20,000 hard work rushed towards the city wall along the road of the first troop.
Many lucky orcs rushed closer to the range of more than 200 yards in the city wall.
"The first row of musketeers are ready." Brad calculated the distance and ordered loudly.
Kakka...
A row of zombie musketeers stepped forward and put the musket on the edge of the city wall, aiming at the orcs who were racing towards them.
"Shoot." Brad's cold and murderous voice spread throughout the city wall.
Bang bang bang bang...
After the gunshots, they quickly retreated to the left and reloaded the bullets. The musketeers in the second row took a step forward to aim at the running orcs and pulled the trigger. The second row repeated the movements in a row. The three rows of musketeers constantly changed positions, causing the gunshots to continue.
Two hundred yards became the penalty area for orcs. No matter how brave they were, the simple leather armor could not defend against bullet attacks. The orcs who rushed to two hundred yards were terrifying holes on their bodies. They screamed and fell down.
Boom, boom, boom...
The cannons roar every once in a while, and each shell would sweep a blank area in the orc formation.
Rush, Rush, Rush...
The orcs kept shouting and chasing themselves to rush towards the city wall, but fell down under the intensive blow of muskets. They had no chance to get close to the city wall.
The orc's corpses were piled into a small slope at the two hundred yards of the city wall, and Yin Hong's blood slowly flowed down from the wound.
Orgrim's face is now ashen. He found that attacking Jade Corps is more difficult than attacking Stormwind City. Stormwind City has no musket team at all. Although the giant crossbow has great damage, it cannot block the orc frenzy. There are mages and hunters with only a few dozen yards of attack range, naturally there are orcs and warlocks to deal with it. Although the orcs are also very casualties, they can at least climb up the city wall to fight and fight with the opponent.
But what is this? Under the intensive attack of the musketeers, the orcs could not even get close to the city wall, and they could not hurt a hair of the Alliance Army at all.
Looking at Brad, who had a cold expression on the top of the city, he felt angry. The battle had been going on for a long time, and the three groups of 10,000 people had sacrificed more than half of them, but it was still easy to make no progress.
His brain was rapidly running and decided to change the siege strategy. The other orcs looked bad. If they continued to fight like this, they would never even think of taking the Jade Corps for the rest of their lives. They were good at fighting, but they could not think of a solution in their stiff and barren brains. Although Gul'dan was ambitious and scheming, he could play with conspiracies, but he had no idea about the overall situation, had a very unstable position, and was easily influenced by others. He had no choice.
After pondering for a long time, Orgrim ordered: "Take the lead in the battle of the five thousand shields, the catapults entered the battlefield, and restrained the opponent's artillery and hottest products."
His original plan was similar to the troll's strategy, cutting down trees to make thick shields, but there were no trees by the sea, and the wooden buildings in the dock area were bombed into scorched earth by Brad, and there was no one in the wood chips, let alone the wooden shield. So he had to send out the orcs' elites.
The equipment of shield warfare is too expensive. In order to become a mobile barrier, these shield warfares are nothing after twenty years of the Dark Seal, but now they are absolutely high-level troops. Even there are very few legions like the tribe. He really reluctant to let such a precious legion consume the siege, but is there any better way than this, otherwise he would not be able to get close to the city wall at all.
"Why don't the great Hammer of Destruction send support from the Air Force and the Warlock Army?" Gul'dan raised objections.
Orgrim was furious, knowing that Gul'dan was showing his presence again, and he felt extremely sensitive just now. He secretly decided to give up the guy who wanted to replace him at this moment when he had the chance. It would be annoying to keep him sooner or later.
Fortunately, his face was covered by the hood, and the generals could not see his current expression. He suppressed his anger and said, "Are you an ogre brain? Why can't you be smart?" He was really disappointed with the top leaders of the tribe. In terms of wisdom, only the great shaman Neozu of the Shadow Moon clan and his close friend Durotan, the chief of the Frost Wolf clan, were the ones who could compete with him. Durotan was missing again.
He didn't know that Durotan was assassinated by Gul's shadow parliament a few years ago, otherwise she would have fought Gul'dan long ago.
Seeing that they were still confused, Orgrim wanted to kill them, suppressed his anger and explained patiently: "Now that the war has just begun, the other party is in full spirit and physical strength. The weapons are so sharp, will the elites go up and die? We have more people than them. As for the cannon fodder, we will naturally fight down. As for the Jasper Air Force, our air force is winning in large numbers, and the opponent's air force elites will be allowed to restrain the Jasper Air Force when our elite attacks Jasper Leader. At that time, when the city wall is broken, they will be as panicked as the king's Stormwind City, and the air force has no desire to fight. You must know that our air force is also limited, and it is not easy to replenish. The alliance is not just this air force, so do you understand?"
Orgrim worked hard. He tried to make an orc known through his own preaching and guidance. However, for now, just looking at the orc generals nodded like chickens pecking at rice, with a confused look in his eyes, you can see that all this is playing the piano against a cow.
"The alliance will win!" The shaking cheers came from the city wall, making Orgrim feel sick when he listened to everyone's harshness.
It turned out that due to Orgrim's formation change, the orc attacks were broken, and the orc laborers rushing towards the city wall were wiped out.
However, this is just the beginning... (To be continued. Please search for Astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster!)
