My Empire War Game

In the northern wasteland, when Zhenbei City was under construction, in the wasteland farther northwest of the Lotas Mountains, a large number of orcs were thinking of moving south.

Summer is coming to an end, the sun in the sky is not as hot as it used to be, and the green-skinned orcs continue to push south on the barren wasteland.

"Lord Chief, we are running out of food." An orc came to Rogers and said.

Rogers was silent for a moment: "How much food is left?"

"With today's food, it's only enough for us to eat for a week. It's summer now. Hunting and gathering along the way will take up to a month." The green-skinned orc said.

Cremation suddenly burst out in Rogers' eyes: "One month! Time is enough!"

"One month later, when the official southern human kingdom has a bumper harvest, as long as we break through the fortress, all the food outside the city will be ours!"

"That food is enough for our entire tribe to eat for a whole year!"

"This time, we also have a warm and fertile land under the sun!"

At the same time, the Kingdom of Lorens, the Kingdom of Florence, and the Kingdom of Seren have all received the news that the orcs are about to invade. These kingdoms are always paying attention to the orc tribes in the northern wasteland. After seeing the orc tribes start to move south, the first Send the message back in no time.

The invasion of the orcs at this time has directly put a great pressure on the human kingdom. There is still a month before the harvest. Those nobles are reluctant to leave the ground and clear the fields. Burn the field down? Those stingy nobles would not do this. As for the orc invasion, that is the matter of the army.

The orc invasion also made several countries nervous. These nobles near the northern border began to recruit soldiers. As for the refugees promised to Sulun, they were directly forced to join the army. In a short period of time, the number of soldiers in the hands of the northern nobles of several kings has increased by two or three times.

It's just that although the number of soldiers has increased by two or three times, the strength of the army has not only not improved, but has declined. These soldiers are basically farmers who have just put down their hoes and picked up their weapons. It’s okay to let them defend the city. As for the frontal combat, it is estimated that they will mutiny and flee as soon as they enter the battlefield.

The Kingdom of Florence, the Kingdom of Lorens, and the Kingdom of Salem have all begun to increase their troops to their respective fortresses. The Black Rock City of the Kingdom of Florence used to have only 5,000 permanent troops. After receiving the invasion of the orcs, in less than a week, Increased the number of troops to 30,000.

The Beastblood Fortress of Lorens and the canyon gate of the Kingdom of Seren have also greatly increased the army. At the same time, the nobles in the north also issued a wartime mobilization order, and various military supplies began to be collected. Many caravans that were ready to leave were directly stopped, and then some soldiers took the order to collect the goods of these merchants directly.

The materials collected by the expropriation order will be returned after the war. Of course, this is an official statement. In fact, these materials will not be returned even after the war is over. In the end, they will only be compensated according to the lowest price of this batch of goods. .

As for not giving a penny, it is not for nothing. In this era, most of the people who can form a caravan to do business have nobles as their backers. If there is no compensation, those nobles will not give up.

Several human kingdoms in the north and the northern wasteland are separated by a Nafel mountain range. This Nafel mountain range stretches for thousands of miles. The main peak of the mountain is covered with snow all year round. Mountains separate humans from the northern wilderness, but there are still many roads to pass through.

Blackstone Fortress, Beast Blood Fortress, including Canyon Pass, these three passes are the three largest roads through this mountain range. These canyons are much easier to walk than other mountain-traversing trails, and there is no problem in passing carts. Except for these three canyon passages, other roads are rugged and steep, and difficult to pass, and many places cannot pass horses and carts at all.

Some of the most dangerous journeys are the cliffs on one side and the abyss on the other side, with only a rough road less than half a meter wide. Most of these trails are used by smugglers, because this kind of road is not only difficult to travel, but also life-threatening. If you accidentally encounter a monster living here, you will lose both money and people.

The Beast Blood Fortress, the gate to the north of the Kingdom of Lorens, once it is breached, the three northern provinces of the Kingdom of Lorens will face the orcs. Count Colin immediately began to prepare for the battle after he received the news that the orcs were heading south. The resident army in the blood fortress is only 3,000 people, and among them is a knight order of 500 people. These knight order members are the backbone of the beast blood fortress.

Five hundred heavy armored knights in heavy armor and riding on horses that are also armored are the strongest troops in the human kingdom in this world. A knight with a horse and a horse and then put on the armor has reached a weight of 1,000 pounds. , not to mention weapon damage, even the impact force is enough to crack the internal organs of an adult orc.

The 30,000-strong army supported by the kingdom has also arrived, but this did not make Earl Colin relaxed, because according to the information from the front, this time the orcs can be said to be out of their nests, and they are facing at least 100,000 Human orc army.

Outside the beast blood fortress, the various antlers and horses that used to be rejected have been completely destroyed. The ground is in a mess, with corpses and bloodstains everywhere. The air is filled with a disgusting smell of blood. The battle just ended. , Orcs did not take advantage of the slightest, but they also successfully completed the combat objectives, all the defense facilities outside the fortress were destroyed.

The human soldiers defending the fortress are still quite excited. Although the army of orcs seems to be many, the fortress has taken advantage of the natural and dangerous terrain. The orcs cannot take advantage of the number of people. The steep walls of the mountains on the side provide them with natural side protection.

Under the city wall, a large number of corpses were piled up in a pile, and the disgusting smell attracted a large number of raptors and vultures. Some carrion crows in the sky also croaked. Ordinary beasts were afraid of the army, but these birds did not have many scruples. When the night comes and the battle is over, it is time for them to feast.

The orcs' barracks were only ten miles away from the fortress. At this time, a large number of orc overseers were driving kobolds, goblins and other slaves with leather whips to cut down trees, and then the orcs craftsmen made simple siege equipment.

Although the civilization of orcs cannot be compared with that of humans, their social system is much stronger than that of gnolls and kobolds.

Just after the battle between humans and orcs in the beast blood fortress began, in just three days, the battle broke out between the blackstone fortress and the canyon pass. After a short test, the orcs began a powerful offensive.

Su Lun knew that the time for the orcs to invade would be a little later. After all, Zhenbei City was not on the path of the orcs, and it was also three hundred miles away from the nearest battlefield, Black Rock Fortress. To the north of Zhenbei City is the Lotas Mountains. If the orcs want to attack Zhenbei City, they can only bypass the Lotas Mountains and attack from the northwest of Zhenbei City.

After learning that the orcs attacked, Su Lun immediately recalled the army that was slaying monsters and robbers in the territory. Zhenbei City now has 7,000 troops, of which the largest number is the spearmen, with a total of 4,000. Next came the archers, numbering two thousand.

Originally, Su Lun wanted to form more archer troops, but the archers did not want spearmen. A wooden stick and a sharp spear head were enough. The bow body of the archer needed good materials, although The centaurs and half-elves were recovered, both of which cultivated wood for making bows and arrows, but the amount was limited after all.

It is very difficult to build an army of 2,000 archers, and many archers still use birch bows. Among them, the strongest are naturally half-elf archers. The strongest of these half-elf archers have advanced to half-elf magic archers, and they can add elemental effects to their bows and arrows.

The vast majority of half-elf archers are still in the rank of half-elf archers. As for half-elf phantom archers, there has not been one of this level. The main reason is that half-elf leveling up requires twice as much experience as humans. . But even so, the half-elf archers are much better than human archers in terms of accuracy and range.

Su Lun dispatched all the scouts to keep an eye on the movement of the orc army. Now the orc army should not know Su Lun's city. Once they know that there is a human city here, those orcs will definitely come to attack.

At the same time, the construction of the wizard tower in the city has not stopped, but Su Lun dispatched a large number of people to start digging the moat. The former Zhenbei City moat was only partially excavated, because after the orc tribe was eliminated, Zhenbei City no longer exists in this area. The enemy is gone, so the moat stops.

Now it is just restarting again. The moat planned by Su Lun is to directly guide the water of the Hongsha River. The width of the moat is about ten meters, and the depth is also three meters. The water in the moat belongs to living water. Two springs were guided underground, allowing the spring water to flow into the moat as well.

Because the terrain of Zhenbei City is relatively high, there is no need to worry about the river water pouring into the city. In addition to its defensive function, the moat can also serve as water transportation. Ships can deliver goods to the city gate from the Hongsha River through the moat.

The moat of Zhenbei City is being built in a hurry, and the caravans in the city have also received news of the orc attack. These caravans cannot return to the human kingdom before the end of the war, and can only temporarily stay in Zhenbei City. The guards of these caravans are still there. Some mercenaries were also recruited, and Su Lun did not intend to let them go to the battlefield, but to prevent these people from taking the opportunity to make trouble.
