The long-range weapons of the orcs and humans threatened each other. The orc army also entered the range of the human archers. The human archers raised their bows and arrows and threw them into the sky. Dense arrow rain fell from the sky, and the orcs continued to move forward with rough and crude shields.
Only a few unlucky people were shot by bows and arrows. However, for orcs, the damage of bows and arrows is not high. Unless they hit the key, the damage of ordinary arrows is limited. Some orcs shot by bows and arrows pulled out the arrows without taking care of the wounds. After a roar, they charged faster.
The orcs rushed under the city wall in the rain of arrows, and then set up a ladder to attack the city. The rolling stones on the city wall were constantly thrown down. The stones of this weight were broken bones and broken tendons. Even the orcs' physique could not carry them. Although the casualties were not small, the orcs did not flinch at all and roared up the ladder.
From the beginning, the war became very fierce. There was a fierce battle between orcs and humans at the head of the city. An orc just killed a human soldier and was stabbed in the heart by the human next second.
Thousands of soldiers on the battlefield are just some numbers and consumables. The generals of both sides look at the battlefield with facial expressions. Some shamans begin to cast spells. The same is true for the Wizards on the city wall. In addition to the wizards, there are some temples in priest robes.
One by one, magic and divination were performed, elements surged on the battlefield, and the energy of various elements such as lightning, ice and flame continued to explode. However, on the whole, the human casters were dominant.
The offensive and defensive war in karente city was in full swing, and sulun finally began to take action. The army of more than 5000 people in the north city of the town and the eagle Banshee began to approach Blackstone fortress.
"What are you talking about? There is no formed Orc army stationed in Blackstone fortress?" Suellen was surprised to hear the Scout's words.
"Yes, sir, Blackstone fortress has no formed Orc army, only a small number of orcs."
"What are the orcs doing? They don't want to go back? Aren't they going back to the north?" sullen muttered.
"Forget it, it's none of my business whether the orcs go back or not. Boulder, take people to attack the Blackstone fortress for me. Don't let any of those orcs run away."
"Yes, head!" the boulder touched his smooth head, then grinned and left with a group of barbarians.
There were not many orcs left in Blackstone fortress, only about 100. In the face of the barbarian raid, these orcs had no power to fight back. The only Orc warrior was cut in half by a boulder axe as soon as the war began. Su Lun easily occupied Blackstone fortress.
"No wonder the orcs can easily attack from behind the Blackstone fortress. The TM is basically defenseless." Su Lun looked at the wall only three or four meters high in front of him. There is no watchtower, no arrow tower and no arrow stack. With the strength of the orcs, even without the help of tools, he can climb up with a run-up.
And the twenty meter high wall on the front of Blackstone fortress are completely two concepts. The people who built Blackstone fortress didn't think about the defense behind the fortress. After all, the rear is human territory. As a result, the orcs took advantage of this weakness and easily occupied the Blackstone fortress that killed and injured them.
"If the enemy attacks from the south, he can't hold this fortress." Su Lun shook his head and gave up his plan to occupy it. Indeed, if he occupied it, the back road of the orc army would be cut off, but at that time, the north city of Zhenbei will be hard with tens of thousands of orcs. Winning won't do any good. If he lost, all the accumulation of this year will be lost, He doesn't do such a loss making business.
"Aton, did you find the place where the orcs held human slaves?" Suellen asked. Yes, his goal now is the human slaves captured by the orcs. The northern provinces were invaded by the orcs, and even the cities were broken down. A large number of humans who did not escape were captured as slaves.
The orcs captured human slaves to let them cultivate. Now there are at least tens of thousands of human slaves in the hands of the orcs. So many human slaves make sulun greedy. He spends money to buy and forcibly immigrate this year, and the population in the north of the town has not exceeded 30000. If this wave can rescue these human slaves from the orcs, The population of the north town is likely to exceed 100000.
As for you, these humans were originally free people and subjects of other lords. At that time, those noble lords asked sulun for help. Sorry, this is the human slave I rescued from the orcs. Where have your people gone? The orcs took it away. Go find the orcs!
You go to find the people who have been kidnapped. What do you want to do with the serfs in the north city of my town?
The total population of the kingdom of Florence is about 5 million, of which 3 million are distributed in the South and less than 2 million in the northern provinces. Even if they drive out the orcs in the end, it is estimated that they will suffer heavy losses. If there are 100000 people in the north of the town, it is enough to establish a principality.
"Sir, the orcs held their captured human slaves in several camps. The nearest one near winter city was about 15000 people, and there were 2000 orcs in charge of guarding." Aton told the news he had collected.
"We have also drawn maps in several other places. Please see..."
Suellen took a sheepskin scroll and opened it. A simple map was drawn on it, including the nafir mountains, Blackstone fortress, and several cities in northern provinces. That city was broken, how many orcs there were in that city, and the place where orcs held human slaves.
"Well done!" Suellen closed the map and patted Aton on the shoulder. As the first drow spirit loyal to him, Suellen still liked it very much.
Because Su Lun's purpose is to capture the population captured by the orcs. When the population is robbed, it will be transported to the north city of the town. Blackstone fortress is the only way. Su Lun needs to leave many people here to guard. Now the war between humans and orcs is fierce, and neither side can draw out manpower. This is a good opportunity for Su Lun.
In winter city, since it was captured by the orc army, the orcs have driven out all the humans here. All those who refused to leave have their heads cut off. Even after several days, the city is still full of blood smell. The orcs have not stationed many soldiers here. It can be said that the city with a population of more than 20000 has become an empty city.
Outside the winter city, in a humble camp, a large number of humans are working under the whip of orcs. They are making weapons and armor for the orc army on the front line. After conquering the winter city, the orcs obtained a lot of materials, which naturally need to be used.
Suellen repaired the Blackstone fortress, left 500 soldiers, and then waited until dark to go to winter city.
Two thousand orcs are not soft persimmons. Even if Zhenbei city can win, it will pay a lot of casualties, so his plan is to sneak attack, defeat these orcs in the shortest time, and then rob those human slaves.
His strategic goal this time is not to kill many orcs, but to rob a large population.
Under the leadership of the scouts, the army of Zhenbei city advanced rapidly in the dark. At 1 a.m., the army came to the periphery of the orc camp. At this time, the orc camp was not much guarded and broke the Blackstone fortress. Cities in northern provinces did not dare to leave the city at all.
This also made the orcs relax their vigilance. They never thought that when the orc army was advancing all the way, someone came to fight the attention of the orc camp.
"Lord, I don't see the secret sentry," Aton said, bending over to touch Suellen.
"Let's start!" Su Lun nodded and ordered directly.
Then Aton took more than 20 drow elves into the dark. These drow Elves were proficient in investigation, assassination and sneak attack. Under the cover of night, they easily touched the entrance of the orc camp.
At this time, two Orc soldiers were yawning and watching. In the shadow behind them, two figures suddenly appeared. Then the figure flashed, a flashing dagger wiped the orc's throat, and the other hand immediately covered the orc's mouth.
The blood burst out, and the two orcs widened their eyes, and their bodies struggled fiercely to break free. Just as the blood flowed out, the trachea broke, and the struggle of the two orcs became weaker and weaker. After a few breaths, they fell into a dead silence.
Su Lun waited outside the camp for a while. Soon the humble gate of the camp was opened. Two drow elves took torches and turned around in the air for three times. After seeing the signal, Su Lun ordered the army of the north city of the town to attack.
The troops in the north of the town quickly entered the camp. Such a big movement can no longer be hidden.
"Enemy attack!"
A roar spread all over the camp, and a large number of orcs rushed out of the tent. Seeing the orcs appear, the soldiers in the north city of the town lined up the battle array and rushed up directly, and the archers behind began to shoot arrows. Because they were unprepared, the orcs had no shields at all. At one time, a large number of orcs were shot by bows and arrows. Compared with human bows and arrows, the bows and arrows of half elves and half horses were powerful. As soon as they touched, these orcs paid a heavy price.
Seeing the heavy losses of the orcs, the long Gunners in front directly lined up in battle array and began to advance. Facing the long gun array in the north of the town, the orcs roared and rushed up, but were blocked by raising their shields. Then they were directly stabbed by several long guns. Suddenly there was a sound of wings afraid of beating in the sky. Before these orcs responded, a large number of stones fell from the sky.
The orcs who were originally lack of protection were directly smashed in the head and blood, and more seriously, their brains burst. An orc who should look like a commander roared loudly. He wanted to organize an army. The surrounding orcs gathered around him. At this time, a fireball the size of a washbasin fell from the sky and hit the orc commander.
The explosion roared and the orange flame sputtered, and the orc in the middle of the explosion was directly blown out.
