Chapter 384: Bloody riverside town

"Are the reinforcements of the royal capital here?" Golasgill received the letter excitedly, and his face was as dark as the bottom of a pot for a moment.

Lieutenant Tiras asked quietly: "Lord, how does the regent reply?"

Gorasgil handed the reply to the adjutant without expression, and ordered: "According to my order, all men in the city over the age of thirteen and under fifty must take up arms and fight in the city. In addition, all ships will be recruited to fight in the city. All women and children are sent to the other side."

After Gorrasgill gave the order, he asked the adjutant: "Tiras, please take my family away."

"Lord Lord!" The adjutant's face changed drastically.

"Execute the order, Tiras." Golasgill patted him on the shoulder, drew out his noble sword and said in a deep voice: "This is my territory, as long as my blood is splashed on this land, I Future generations are eligible to retake it."

"Yes, Lord Lord." The adjutant saluted solemnly and swore: "I promise with my surname that I will follow your family forever until the banner of the Gorasgir family floats on this land again."

The adjutant swore an oath and quickly turned and left.

At this time, a low horn sounded from outside the city, which was a signal that the orcs assembled to attack.

Golasgil raised his sword and shouted: "Ready to fight, my people! In order to protect our family, your lord will fight with you to the end!"

"Fight to the end for Lord Lord!"

"The archer prepares!" Golasgill ordered loudly: "Wait until these animals rush to within fifty steps before shooting! The ballista has watched the big lizards in the sky for me, don't let them take advantage of it!"

Woo--!

The second horn sounded, and the assembled half-orc wolf cavalry began to split into three groups and charged simultaneously from three directions. At the same time, a dozen black flying dragons circling in the sky began to move around.

"Shield!" Golasgill shouted sharply. As an experienced military aristocrat, he knew very well that these half-orcs and wolf cavalry seemed aggressive, but in fact they would not pose too much threat to the deep riverside town of the city. . After all, it is the iron law of the world that the cavalry cannot attack the city. Unless these half-orcs are willing to give up their mobile advantages and fight with wolves, then Golasgil will definitely let these half-orcs know how powerful the Gondor cavalry is.

So the biggest threat to Lakeside Town is the dozen black flying dragons hovering in the sky.

A row of strong shields was immediately erected on the city's head to cover the soldiers' heads.

The surging half-orc wolf cavalry, as expected by Golasgir, was not stupid enough to fight with wolves, but went around the city and threw spears and sharp arrows on the city.

The ding-dang flying arrows hit the battlements or shields from time to time. Although the human soldiers hiding behind were nervous, there were no casualties.

Gorasgir huddled behind the battlements and stared down through a gap. Seeing these half-orcs had just completed a round of shooting, he immediately ordered loudly: "Archer shoot!"

The archers who were already ready to go leaned out and shot the sharp arrows in their hands, and immediately yelled at the orc wolf cavalry outside the city.

But these fierce half-orcs wolf cavalry immediately returned their colors and shot a dozen human archers one after another with precise arrow methods, frightening other archers to shrink behind the battlements and dare not show up easily.

In the sky, several black flying dragons couldn't resist the bloodthirsty desire, and roared and swooped down, but they were forced back by the flying crossbow bolts.

The two sides fell into a deadlock for a while, and no one can help.

But Golasgill knew very well that the riverside town without back-ups could not stand for a few days, because there were too few soldiers guarding the city. There were less than one thousand professional soldiers, and the number of half-orc wolf cavalry outside the city had exceeded two thousand. , And there is still a steady stream of wolf cavalry coming from the west.

When the force gap exceeds a certain amount, the tallest city wall cannot withstand the enemy's attack.

What's more, the grain and grass in the city can't last for ten days. After all, the main source of food on his barren land is the big river behind him and the sea to the south.

The orcs wolf cavalry launched a few rounds of tentative offensive and then retreated like a tide, and cheers shook the sky for a while.

But Gorasgir looked solemn, because the half-orcs and wolf cavalry did not retreat too far, but retreated to the upper reaches of the riverside town and set up camp and started logging wood and rafting!

Golasgill's face instantly became extremely difficult and ugly, because the east port of Riverside Town had no walls at all to make it easier for ships to dock and unload!

Once these half-orcs ride down the river and enter from the port side, they will really become a turtle in the urn.

And Gorasgil was more worried that these half-orcs would cross the river by raft, and the women and children who had just moved away from the city would be destroyed.

"These half-beast man-made rafts must be stopped!" Golasgill sent his heart ruthlessly, and had a bold idea.

That night, Golasgill personally led the carefully trained three-hundred knights to launch a sneak attack on the Orc camp.

The simple camps of these half-orcs, like primitives, could not withstand the charge of the kingdom’s cavalry, or the half-orcs who came all the way to the south had already regarded weak humans as lambs to be slaughtered, and did not put the opponent in their eyes at all, so much so There is not even a guard outside the camp.

By the time the wolves in the camp heard the sound of iron hoofs, it was too late, and the people who were killed by the human cavalry who rushed into the camp turned on their horses and fled.

Golasgill took the opportunity to set fire to the entire orc camp, and then quickly led his men back to the city.

The successful night attack not only motivated the morale of the defenders, but also made the Orcs' waterway attack plan ruined, and also bought more time for the persistence of Riverside Town.

But in the early morning of the next day, the regrouped army of orcs immediately launched a retaliatory attack on Riverside Town.

The real fierce battle begins!

The battle lasted from early morning to noon, and the Orcs army left the corpses all over the floor and retreated.

The Riverside Town also suffered nearly 300 casualties, and Golasgill had to fill the guards at the head of the city from the young men who were temporarily recruited.

But compared to the casualties of soldiers, the huge wastage of arrows made Golasgir more worried.

But the Orcs didn't give the humans too much time to breathe. They attacked again after noon, and as a steady stream of reinforcements came, the Orcs even gave up their mobile advantage and organized a ground siege force.

The battle lasted until dark before it ended, blood stained the entire city wall, and the corpse even blocked the moat.

At night, the Orcs learned the lessons of last night and sent a large number of wolf cavalry to the city from time to time to take advantage of the night to release cold arrows, which caused great psychological pressure on the defenders.

By the early morning of the third day, the human defenders who thought they would finally be able to breathe a sigh of relief when they saw the scene outside the city were all horrified!

Because the half-orcs outside the city did not know where they captured a large number of human refugees as cannon fodder for the siege.
