My Empire War Game

Chapter 251

Although these mercenaries and guards were not as powerful as the regular army, they were much stronger than ordinary people. Su Lun didn't want to fight on the front line. As a result, these mercenaries and guards made trouble in Zhenbei City.

Regarding the morality of mercenaries and caravan guards, Su Lun has never overestimated. You must know that in this era, it is very dangerous to trade in the wild, especially in the northern wilderness, in the city or in the city. , These people are the same as normal merchants, but when they reach the wilderness, they are the weak and the strong.

It is common for those merchants to guard and mercenaries to rob other caravans directly. These people are caravans when they enter the city, and they are robbers after they leave the city. Unless they are caught directly, they can't distinguish them at all.

Moreover, there are many crazy things in the city of Sulun, such as the secret recipe of white sugar, the process of rum brewing, the process of making paper, etc. Any of these technologies is worth tens of thousands of dollars, as long as you learn to eat and drink in this life No worries, it is not impossible to even change a title.

From the first day after these people came to Zhenbei City, they wanted to learn these skills secretly. Not to mention, there were more than a dozen people who wanted to learn skills secretly caught by Chrissy last month. On average, one in two days. As for the final fate of these people, it was actually quite good.

Alex told Sulun that the low-level harpy wanted some material. With a big wave of his hand, Sulun gave these people to Alex and sent them to the Eagle Fort to enjoy the blessing.

There are now more than 3,000 harpy in the Eagle Castle. Except for the harpy and the leader of the harpy, the other harpy can't get rid of their instinctive control. People who dare to come to Zhenbei City to steal technology basically have two brushes, their strength is pretty good, and many of them are knight-level.

This is good news for the harpy. Twenty-four hours a day, these people are fed by the harpy even for their meals. They have been working hard all the time for 24 hours. It can be said that people have enjoyed the feeling of directly ascending to heaven with a handful of royal women.

Once the orcs attacked Zhenbei City, the City Lord's Mansion would definitely mobilize manpower. When the time comes, the protection would naturally be a little slack. Su Lun would not think that those merchants would scrupulously resist the orcs' attack and miss such a good opportunity. They would definitely take this opportunity to make a move. Su Lun never overestimates human nature.

The cheapest and most precious thing in the world is human nature, and the most untestable thing is human nature.

......

Blackrock Fortress.

The war has been going on for three days. The orc army has sent a large number of servants to fight. These servants are used to consume humans’ rolling logs and bows and arrows. High-intensity warfare makes Blackstone Fortress very expensive, and Blackstone Fortress serves as a major military town. The repairs to the city walls were not bad, and the orc army did not take advantage.

On the fourth day of the war, before dawn, the orcs slowly approached the wall with several huge siege equipment.

The siege tower is a simple small building built with a wooden tower, and then the orc soldiers can enter from the bottom of the siege tower, and then step up the stairs step by step. Due to the protection of wooden boards in the middle, it will not be hit by the enemy. The upper end of the stairs is the exit of the siege tower. This exit is level with the height of the city wall. After you walk out, you can immediately step on the city wall and start a hand-to-hand battle with the enemy.

This kind of siege equipment is very rough, but the effect is not bad. These siege equipment were all made by the orcs after they came here to cut down wood. Although the siege equipment is a great tool for engineering, their shortcomings are also obvious, that is, their slow moving speed.

The siege equipment made by the orcs is rough and heavy due to technical problems. If it is an ordinary human, it is difficult to push these siege equipment, but it is just right for the orcs.

In addition to these siege towers, the orcs have also prepared some ladders and rush vehicles. These siege equipment are constantly approaching the city wall under the impetus of the orc soldiers.

The defenders and generals of the Blackstone Fortress looked dignified. After seeing these siege equipment approaching, they ordered the archers to throw rockets. The rockets were still very threatening to these siege equipment. After applying kerosene, the rocket's ability to ignite was still Not bad. Especially the siege equipment made by the orcs did not have much fire protection measures.

After the bow and arrow hit the siege tower, the kerosene attached to the wooden plank, and the flames quickly ignited. Although the orcs did not ignore it, they moved forward quickly. At the same time, the orcs standing on the siege tower had their bows and arrows. The hands also began to shoot arrows, and the archers of the two sides began to compete. For a time, both sides suffered heavy casualties.

After the archer’s cover, these siege equipment quickly approached the city wall, and the fastest running vehicles were about to rush to the city gate. At this moment, a basin-sized fireball flew out of the city wall. , The fireball dragged a long tail and flew directly to the car.

"Boom!"

An explosion sounded, and the entire assault cart and a dozen orc soldiers were instantly surrounded by flames. The wooden assault cart was directly blown to pieces under this force, and a dozen orcs were also lit into torches.

"Wizard! Wizard! We have a wizard!" The walls of the city cheered, and the morale of the human soldiers rose instantly.

On the city wall, a middle-aged man in a red robe swung his staff, and soon another fireball flew out. This time the fireball flew directly to a tall siege tower. The siege tower with a height of more than 20 meters could not be avoided at all, and was hit by a fireball in an instant.

The siege tower, which hadn’t burned by a large number of rockets, exploded. The orc archers on the siege tower were blown out. The tall siege tower was broken into two pieces directly from the middle, and many of the orcs below were directly burned. When the wood hit, the flame instantly enveloped the siege tower. The orc soldiers who did not run out were burned alive by the flames.

After the wizard used a few fireball spells to destroy most of the siege equipment, he stopped shooting. This wizard is only an intermediate wizard. There are only a few wizards in the Blackstone Fortress. The wizards will not use all the magic power. After all, they shot more just to boost morale.

Although a lot of the siege tower equipment was destroyed, the orcs quickly reintroduced some new siege equipment. This time the wizards did not continue to take action. The crossbows on the city wall opened their bowstrings, which made people The sore bowstring sound rang, and a soldier next to him put a spear on it and ignited it with kerosene.

"collapse!"

With a buzzing sound, a three-meter long spear flew out in an instant. The spear directly penetrated an orc, and then nailed it to the siege vehicle. The heavy siege vehicle shook back and forth several times. The siege engine ignited.

"Beng Beng Beng!"

The bowstring sounded continuously on the city wall, spears flew out, and the corpses ran across the fields where the spears passed. The orc soldier who was directly hit was a blood hole the size of a bowl, some of which were close. Was directly worn into candied haws.

However, the accuracy of the bed crossbow is limited, and the rate of fire is slow. There are still many siege equipment close to the city wall. Seeing this situation, the defending general directly ordered a countercharge.

The five-hundred knights lined up quietly behind the gate. These knights were all wearing iron armor and armed with sharp blades. The five-hundred knights stood quietly behind the gate and waited for the gate to open.

A fierce horn sounded, and the door of the Blackstone Fortress was slowly opened. The knights that had been prepared immediately launched a charge. The five hundred knights immediately launched, and the thunder-like sound of horseshoes sounded on the battlefield, and the knights were all in armor. Instantly rushed out of the city gate, and then rushed directly to the orc's engineering equipment.

The orcs never thought that humans would open the city gates to attack, and they might as well be dissipated directly by the human knights. The infantry faced the heavy cavalry in the charge and was completely slaughtered. The same is true even for the orcs, where the knights pass by the orcs are chopped down like mowing grass.

With just two charges, the orc forward was killed. Seeing the orc soldiers fleeing in embarrassment, these knights did not continue to chase them, but lit the kerosene they carried with them and threw them on the siege equipment, dozens of them. The siege equipment was quickly ignited. After igniting these siege equipment, a dull horn sounded. All the knights turned their horses and returned to the city. After the last knight entered, the gate closed again.

The battle still did not end. The orcs did not choose to retreat after losing a large amount of siege equipment, but again allocated two to three thousand soldiers to carry the ladder to participate in the siege.

Count Louis, the defender of the Blackstone Fortress, said with a heavy face: "These **** orcs want to take us down~www.ltnovel.com~ and they are not afraid of losing their teeth!"

The archers pulled the bowstrings frantically. Many people became sore because of the long-time drawing of the bow. Many archers’ fingers had been cut by the bowstrings. The rain of arrows fell from the sky, and these arrow rains did not let the orcs. Fearful, the orc soldiers held up shoddy wooden shields. Many wooden shields were not stripped of the bark, and they attacked the city wall with a rain of arrows.

A large number of orcs ignored the impact of casualties, and soon there was a ladder on the wall. The orc soldiers behind accelerated rushed up, climbed up to the wall in three or two times, and then the soldiers who were waiting shot shot. Going down, the soldiers next to them cut off the hooks of the ladder, and then pushed down the ladder with force. On the ladder, the two orc soldiers who had climbed halfway fell straight down from the air.

After a few jumps, a tall orc jumped up the city wall from the ladder, swept with a giant axe in his hand, and directly chopped up the soldiers with human weapons and weapons into two pieces, and then stubbornly guarded the wall to make more The orcs climbed up, and after a while, five orcs came up here.

Under the leadership of the leading orc, these orcs defeated the surrounding human soldiers steadily. Seeing this situation, several knights immediately led people to rush up.
