Heroes of the Invincible Knight

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The orc's trebuchets poured stone bombs and kerosene bombs towards the city wall of Longxiguan almost non-stop, trying to create more chaos and clear the obstacles for the attacking troops that were about to approach the city wall.

Although some trebuchets were counterattacking in the city, the number was not at the same level as the stone bombs thrown by the orcs. The human defenders in the city were basically accustomed to the advantages of the orcs in equipment, and they hid behind the walls or In some tunnels.

The city wall of Longxiguan is quite strong, even the protruding wall stacks can completely withstand the impact of stone bullets. As long as you are not particularly unlucky, you will not be harmed. It is just that if you are hit and killed, it will be very miserable. However, these experiences Soldiers who have fought several battles are basically immune to this kind of misery, or become numb. Who knows if they will die in the next moment.

It stands to reason that the population of human beings is ten times that of orcs, and their total productivity should also be higher than that of orcs, and they should not lose to orcs in terms of equipment. But wars are not just based on population and productivity. At this level of productivity On the contrary, the orcs, who have been struggling to survive, have gone further than humans in the art of war. Humans have not tapped out one-tenth of their war potential at this time, and the orcs have basically entered a desperate state.

About ten minutes later, the rain of stone bombs and kerosene bombs finally stopped, and the entire city wall was in a mess, broken stones, unburned flames, and some scattered corpses...

But at this moment, the defenders had no time to clean up the corpses of their comrades on the city wall. The stop of the opponent's trebuchet attack could only mean that the attacking troops were close to the city wall.

"Ready to fight!"

"boom!"

The human soldiers who were still hiding in various places popped out at once, and all the rolling stones and raging wood were lifted up.

A fierce battle begins again.

The fastest movers of the orcs were those soldiers with the long ladder. The long ladder first slapped on the wall of Longxiguan, and then pulled together by several orc warriors. The iron hook on the head of the long ladder was deeply Stuck into the wall, several human soldiers could not push down the long ladder with the combined efforts of push rods.

Then several orc warriors began to climb along the long ladder. Although they were obviously wearing heavy armor, the orc warriors were not slow to climb, and they climbed half of the height in a few seconds.

When the team leader at this section of the crenel found that the long ladder of the orcs was difficult to push away, he quickly adjusted his thinking and shouted to the side.

"Raigi!"

"Smash the orc down!"

"boom!"

"ah!"

Two soldiers swiftly lifted a wooden bar inlaid with sharp iron thorns, rolled down and hit the climbing orc in the face, and the other man lost his balance and fell down.

But when an orc fell down, the orcs below did not hesitate at all, and climbed up the long ladder until a pot of boiling oil poured down, interrupting the orc's climbing steps.

It wasn't that the boiling oil frightened the orcs, but the torches that fell with the boiling oil ignited the entire long ladder. No matter how brave a warrior was, it was impossible for a brave warrior to climb a completely burning ladder to the city wall.

At the corner of the wall, the orcs paused for a moment, and immediately, crackling stones fell down. These head-sized stones fell from the high wall, and their power should not be underestimated. Being hit by it is also a situation of either death or disability.

However, the long ladder is only an auxiliary means of attack. The real threat is the stronger ladder at the back and the giant well.

"Swoosh, whoosh, whoosh!"

"Let the arrow!"

"Use the Thunderbolt!"

"Don't let Jing Lan come closer!"

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Thunderbolt Cannon can be understood as a weakened trebuchet that can be directly installed on the city wall. The power and range of the stone projectiles it fires are not as good as those tall trebuchets behind, but it is better than being able to shoot directly and attack the approaching orcs. Devices pose a certain threat.

The stone bullets hit the well fence with a bang, because they were already close to the city wall. The accuracy of these thunderbolt guns was not bad, almost half of them hit the well fence, and one stone bullet directly hit a well fence. On the top of the city, the orc crossbowman who had been shooting arrows towards the top of the city suffered an instant disaster and threw several people down.

And every time a stone bullet hit the well, the whole of the well would tremble uncontrollably, as if it would collapse at any time.

However, although the equipment made by orc craftsmen looks stupid and crude, the quality is really good. Despite the impact of these stone bullets, the main structure did not collapse, and finally hit the city wall step by step.

"boom!"

The wooden bridge on the well fence slammed heavily on the city wall, and another orc warrior led a group of elite orc warriors to rush up the city wall along the well fence.

"kill!"

"Hey!"

"Drive the orcs out!"

"Put the oil on fire and burn the wooden bridge for me!"

At this time, the human forces were sufficient, and the soldiers were also at the stage of full physical strength. There were special arrangements for the section of the city near Jinglan. When the orcs rushed to the city wall, the two sides began to fight fiercely.

After all, the humans on the city wall had an absolute advantage in strength. Under the leadership of the knights, the rows of spears forced most of the orc soldiers who climbed up through the well to a corner.

"Roar!"

After the orcs killed the city wall, it was impossible for the white dragon to watch the show behind. Not long after, there were bursts of dragon roars from the sky, and more than a dozen white dragons followed the vanguard of the orcs and joined the siege.

"boom!"

"ah!"

The dragon's breath swept over, and the densely formed spearmen were burned to death in an instant. More than a dozen people did not dare to form an formation easily. Great space.

"God's Mighty Crossbow!"

"God's Mighty Crossbow!"

"put!"

"Buzz, buzz, buzz..."

A deep string sounded, and dozens of sharp arrows flew towards the white dragon in the sky. In an instant, two white dragons couldn't dodge the arrows. One fell to the city wall, and the other fell directly to the ground. After falling on the ground, they struggled a few times. After that, he couldn't move at all. The white dragon on the city wall had two arrows stuck in his body, one on the belly and one on the flesh wing. The blood flowed continuously. Obviously the injury was not serious, but it was still on the wall. Struggling like crazy.

"Kill that dragon!"

"kill!"

It's just that this white dragon fell into the human army by coincidence, and the human soldiers who had already killed red-eyed soldiers under the leadership of the officers attacked the white dragon that had lost the ability to fly without hesitation. .

"boom!"

Another mouthful of dragon's breath came. Although the white dragon was seriously injured, the power of the dragon's breath seemed much smaller, but it was still not something ordinary soldiers could resist. The first few soldiers immediately fell to the ground.

"Follow me!"

However, the death of his comrade-in-arms did not deter the soldiers who followed at all. A high-ranking officer of the Grand Knight rank personally rushed to the first with his sword in hand, and the soldiers behind him followed closely behind.

"Hey!"

"Roar!"

The long sword attached to the fighting spirit cut into the white dragon's neck, directly broke the scales and cut into the flesh, which intensified the white dragon's injury, and the great pain made the white dragon roar again, opening his mouth to spit again The dragon's breath, but only spit out a mouthful of blood foam.

Seeing that Bailong couldn't even breathe out the dragon's breath, the surrounding soldiers became more energetic and surrounded Bailong one after another, trying their best to cause some damage to Bailong.

"clang!"

"boom!"

After some beatings, the white dragon that fell on the city wall finally stopped struggling, closed its eyes and swallowed its breath, and the officer of the Grand Knight rank directly chopped off its head to show, and the surrounding soldiers cheered, and their morale was greatly boosted...

The battle lasted until dusk. The orcs didn't seem to want to fight at night, so they retreated slowly amidst the sound of gold...

Under the setting sun, the great shaman looked at the standing Longxiguan with neither joy nor sorrow on his face. The loss of today's siege hardly moved him at all.

"Your Excellency the great shaman, today when we attacked the city, we discovered that humans have placed a lot of giant crossbows and catapults at 500 meters to the north of the city wall, 700 meters to the south, and 1,000 meters to the south. It should be 200 meters from the northwest corner of the pass. Humans have also mobilized a reserve team today, otherwise we might have achieved more results today..."

"Um…"

The great shaman nodded, approving today's siege.

"Tomorrow, we will increase our siege efforts. You don't have to keep probing. Even if you pay a little more casualties, you must take the Dragon's Breath Pass as soon as possible."

"Yes, Lord Great Shaman!"

"Also, use Bailong as much as possible, and don't take casualties into consideration."

"Yes, I see..."

The big shaman waved his hand, and the orc general retreated knowingly.

Dragon's Breath Pass will be attacked more violently in the coming time...

...

More than three hundred miles west of Longxi Pass

Newmanburg

Fort Newman is a large castle located on the Longxiguan Plain, under the command of Earl Newman, who governs dozens of surrounding villages and tens of thousands of people.

Regardless of the fact that this earldom is similar to the Ironwood Castle of the Hunter family before, the previous tax revenue and prosperity of the two sides are not at the same level. Newmanburg ruled by the Newman family is in a fertile and warm place like the Central Plains. It is not comparable to the early Hunter family.

Although the Newman family won the fief with their early military exploits, the Earl Newman of this generation is more like a calculating and qualified businessman. Wealth, in terms of financial resources, the Newman family is one of the best among the nobles on the Great Plains.

Fort Newman, which occupies a very large area, the outer city wall is only more than three meters high, and there are almost no designs such as archery towers. It cannot be said that the military function is uncertain. After all, there is a three-meter-high stone wall, but it is only compared to those in the Northland. The castle of military aristocrats, Newman is more like a large holiday yard.

However, the interior decoration of Newmanburg is far from comparable to those of the noble castles in the Northland. Carpets made of high-quality velvet cover all the rooms, expensive silk is actually used as tablecloths and curtains, and there are even more precious stones. It looks like a stone, with shining crystal hanging lamps, the atmosphere of wealth and nobility is almost paved.

However, after the flourishing of flowers and flowers, there is a huge crisis. When the orcs attack the dragon, Newmanburg will almost bear the brunt, and there is no way to resist it.

In the dark night, Earl Newman, in his forties, was discussing something with a mysterious guest in a small drawing room.

"Lord Earl, have you thought about it? As long as you leave all the grain for this season in the castle's grain storehouse, the Religion can guarantee that the Newman family will not suffer any losses in the war."

How much food does Newman's family have in one season? This year is a good year. This season's food is enough for tens of thousands of people in the territory to feed for two years. In addition to the original grain of Newman Fort, the food of Newman's family is definitely not enough for the orc army. Would be a great addition.

"It's His Majesty Ren's order to transport all the grain to the big city. If I don't transport the grain, I'm afraid that Longdu will..."

"My lord, you only need to delay for a while, and you can prevaricate and perfunctory in the middle. As long as you delay the time, the orc army will break through the dragon's breath soon and come in. You can only hug the Newman family with a large amount of food in your hand." Wealth status."

Earl Newman was silent again, and then asked:

"Will the orcs listen to you?"

"Of course, my religion has now been established as the state religion by the orcs. As long as they have helped the orcs, the orcs will never commit any crimes after breaking through. I swear in the name of the Lord of the Rising Sun."

The other party finally swore the Lord of the Rising Sun to completely impress Earl Newman. Because of a little nervousness, Earl Newman simply got up and said:

"Okay, my lord priest, I can't guarantee nothing else, at least the food in Newmanburg will not change within a month."

"Enough is enough, the orc army led by my lord will soon be able to invade the central plain..."

Under the firelight, the priest wearing a light-colored robe also stood up and shook hands with Earl Newman, whose hands were covered with gems, and they basically reached an agreement.

Just when the priest thought that the dust had settled here, there was a sudden noise outside the castle...

"What's going on outside!"

Outside the reception room of the castle, there were still guards standing awake. After hearing Earl Newman's words, he immediately came in and said:

"Master Amin is outside!"

"Amin? What is Amin doing here now?"

Amin's full name is Amin Newman. He is in his twenties this year. He is the second son of Earl Newman, but his personality is different from that of the handsome Earl Newman. Also prefer living outside than Newmanburg. It's just that it's getting late today, and I don't know why I came back suddenly.

"Amin, why is he here so late? Is he the only one making such a big noise?"

"Master Earl, Master Amin led an army to surround the castle..."

The cronies who reported were obviously under too much pressure and stuttered, but it was Earl Newman who was more affected.

Amin led people around the castle, although the specific reason is not clear yet, but Amin's actions are obviously not for the sake of being filial to his father, but more like wanting to kill his father to take over the position...

However, Amin didn't seem to realize the seriousness of the matter at this time, so he just got up and gave instructions to the cronies beside him:

"Let the guard guard the gate and don't let him in!"

"Yes, my lord!"

Then he turned his head and said to the priest who was also a bit confused:

"There may have been some accidents in the territory. Please rest here for a while, Mr. Priest. I will deal with it immediately."

"I will go with the Earl."

Earl Newman hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

Surrounded by their cronies, the two quickly came to the gate of the castle. Looking down from the four-meter-high tower, Earl Newman suddenly felt a sense of crisis.

The people holding torches below are full of strong and sharp fighters. Thousands of people surrounded Newmanburg, and there were rushing cars and boarding ladders at the front. This is a well-prepared...
