Chapter 115

There seemed to be fewer and fewer troops on the city walls. "

"So, my idea is that today, as the last day, we attack the city from all sides and take the city of Trava in one fell swoop. Of course, you all have to send troops."

"Oh? If I remember correctly, Chief Balu, you still have more than 40,000 troops, right? With so many people, aren't there enough for an attack?" Swain said, looking at Balu.

"..." Balu frowned when he heard this.

Then, Tucker also stood up.

"Chief Balu, the reason why we obey your orders is because we believe that you can lead us to achieve greater benefits, instead of losing our soldiers here in vain like this."

"We have already lost a number of troops to cover the safe retreat of your troops. Isn't it appropriate to do this again now?"

"Our unit also suffered a lot of losses in the siege." Balu said. "Can't even ten thousand well-trained orc warriors show you my sincerity?"

"I'm sorry, you haven't killed enough people. You're a useless piece of trash. You can't even understand the death of dead people." Swain said this and shook his head.

"..." When Balu heard this, veins popped up in his arms in anger. Then, he took off the battle ax from his waist and threw it away.

Sven's strength was at the seventh level, but under Balu's blow, he didn't even have time to react, and his head was cut off like this.

The chiefs present looked at Sven's tragic situation and were so frightened that their livers and gallbladders split. They looked in the direction of Balu in panic.

"I've given you opportunities! Time and time again!" Balu said viciously. "Why do you think you can talk so openly in front of me?"

With that said, Balu stepped forward angrily, roughly tore Swain's body in half, and then threw it out.

Now, not only the commander in the military tent, but also the soldiers outside saw the miserable condition of their lord.

"I've said it before, if the orcs want to defeat humans, they must unite! Unite!!" He slapped the table and shouted over and over again.

"With your current performance, it would be strange if you are not defeated by the human race from the inside out!" He said, pointing at each of the chiefs.

"Okay, we are all purebred orcs, and we will use the orc way to solve the problem. Come on! Whoever of you can kill me today will leave my position as the United Chief to you. Otherwise, you will be obedient in the future. Follow my orders, or you will die!"

Balu now understands that for this kind of intrigue, only the most direct method can make them realize the seriousness of the matter and let them know that Balu is not someone to be trifled with.

By killing Sven, he was equivalent to killing a chicken to scare the monkeys. It happened that Sven said the most irritating words to Balu when Balu was at his most depressed, which led to his death.

Anyone who is familiar with Balu knows that he can be said to be quite calm at ordinary times. Therefore, the human agents will specifically find Balu and cooperate with him instead of looking for other people.

Of course, others are not as strong as Balu, which is also a very important point.

With a strong tribe and a calm leader, under the leadership of Balu, the orc attack should have gone smoothly. However, I didn't expect that a more terrifying commander came from the human side. Just the combination of weather and terrain caused heavy losses to the orcs.

Baloo hadn't even met Orson, and it seemed like he was about to lose.

Under this situation, no matter how much he held back and considered the overall situation, Balu couldn't help it at this moment.

What's more, there are several clowns who have been stimulating his emotions.

Balu's liquidation was completed almost instantly. The chiefs of the large tribes were controlled by Balu's threat, and their troops were forced to participate in this siege.

Balu knew that if he could not win today, his attack on the border would definitely end in failure.

Eighteen years ago, the last time the orcs attacked humans was the most successful in hundreds of years, but this time it may be the most unsuccessful in hundreds of years.

But Balu just couldn't swallow this breath.

Even if he dies, he still wants to see Orson's face.

At the same time, on the border, the orc diversionary troops who received Balu's message also launched attacks on humans.

Although most of the orcs are not very powerful in combat, they are already very powerful compared to the count's army that was pulled up temporarily without a few days of training.

It may not be possible to defeat, but it will definitely cause huge casualties to the counts' troops, making them unable to support the frontal battlefield.

…

On the walls of Trava.

Although the defense of the city for the past two days caused a lot of losses to the orcs who lacked siege equipment, the humans also paid a considerable amount of casualties.

The human side has deployed intensive defenses in the city of Trava, deploying 10,000 soldiers. However, until now, only about 7,000 soldiers can still stand on the city wall.

When humans and orcs fight, the loss ratio in battle is already quite unbelievable.

All this is due to the fact that the orcs did not carry siege weapons and other baggage when they retreated. In addition, the muddy terrain did delay the orcs' charge under the city wall to a certain extent.

But these days, the orcs are mainly attacking the west wall.

If the orcs attack from all sides and cannot wait for reinforcements from the enemy, the entire army will definitely be annihilated.

Virgil sat on the city wall, looking at the orc camp outside.

"General Xiuvas, you have been in the army for many years and are experienced. According to your opinion, how many of the enemy's camps are left in this number?"

"..." Xiuvas frowned, and then said: "On the west city wall alone, there are about 40,000 people, and including others, there are probably 70,000 people."

"Seventy thousand people...are ten times the number of soldiers we can fight now." Virgil sighed.

If the enemy surrounded us on all sides today and attacked regardless of losses, the city would probably not be able to survive today.

I hope the enemy will attack tentatively today like the previous two days.

Virgil said this, but he had no idea of ​​luck in his heart.

Once the enemy chooses to attack, Virgil can only choose to live or die with the city.

Others are beyond his consideration.

…

On the other side, when the time came in the morning, Balu ordered the entire army to take out all the food for cooking. After letting the soldiers eat and drink their last meal, he smashed all the pots and summoned all the soldiers.

"Soldiers! What's blocking our way home now are hateful humans!" Standing on the stage, he yelled in orc language.

"Thousands of years ago, humans drove us away from this land and left us in a barren desert. Now, we have regained this land, but humans want to drive us away from here again!"

"We never agree!"

"We have run out of food. If we want to survive, we can only capture the city in front of us!"

"For our family, for our compatriots, for ourselves, and for the tribe!"

"For the tribe!" The orcs in the audience also responded.

Virgil could hear the sounds from the enemy's camp while standing on the city wall. He knew something was wrong and quickly asked all the soldiers on the city wall to get ready.

Today, it is very likely that the orcs will launch a general attack.

In the morning, after the mobilization, the enthusiastic orc warriors were waiting for the commander's orders.

With the commander's order, the brutal siege began.

The war drums were beating, and the first batch of orcs roared and rushed toward the city wall on ladders.

Then, another group of orcs rushed towards the city gate with huge and sharp wooden stakes, intending to break down the door.

The human soldiers on the city had used up all their arrows and crossbows in the battle to defend the city two days ago. Facing the enemy's attack, they could only use primitive methods - fighting with brute force against the orcs. .

The result is naturally obvious.

On the contrary, putting the orcs on the city wall will cause even less damage.

Soon, the siege turned into a brutal hand-to-hand battle, and this time, the same scene was played out not only on the west wall, but also on the four walls of Trava City.

Human soldiers and orcs fight on the city walls.

Relying on the local numerical advantage on the city wall and tacit cooperation, humans were able to work together to defeat the first batch of orcs who rushed up. However, the physical fitness of human soldiers also had limits. Soon, some soldiers showed signs of movement. After the orcs seized the opportunity, the losses on the human side gradually increased.

More importantly, their fall means that the more space on the city wall belongs to the orcs, the local numerical advantage will eventually cease to exist, and the war will enter the most brutal hand-to-hand combat.

At this time, regardless of race or combat strength, as long as you are touched by a blade and fall on the battlefield, you will die.

Balu sits firmly in the center of the army and will not take the lead until the enemy appears with strong combat power.

Watching the situation on the city wall tilt towards the orcs step by step, Balu showed a satisfied look.

The weather has been a lot drier in the past two days. Although the ground is still

It was still muddy, but it rarely stopped raining in the sky, the sun was shining brightly, and the land slowly became friendly to the orcs.

According to his estimate, the orcs will capture the city before sunset. By then, whether they are robbing humans of food and grass or using humans as food and grass on the spot, the orcs will have a subsequent ration, and then head east If you retreat, you can make another plan.

On the west wall, Virgil led the mercenaries to guard the place.

This is the city wall directly facing the Balu Army, and it is also the place that is under the greatest pressure. Virgil volunteered to take over the task of defending this city wall.

Virgil had just pulled out his sword from an orc's chest, and then rolled forward to avoid the ax swung by the orc behind him.

Then, a mercenary in front of him expertly thrust his spear into the chest of the orc who was sneaking up on Vergil from behind.

Just when he was about to show off to Virgil, another machete was swung from behind. The mercenary's smile stopped in mid-air, and his head flew out.

Virgil was numb as he looked at the bloody scene in front of him.

He roared and pierced the orc's chest with his sword. The orc was not completely dead yet. He held Vergil's sword with both hands and tried to pull it out. Vergil simply pushed it back off the wall with force, and then he leaned against it. He leaned against the battlements on the edge of the city wall, breathing heavily.

During this period of time, he had killed at least forty or fifty orcs who rushed to the city wall, but the number of mercenaries around him was decreasing one by one.

Although they were not close friends, they were comrades who had been together day and night for some time. Seeing these comrades who were usually lively and cheerful, and occasionally told Virgil some interesting things about their hometown, now they closed their eyes one by one and fell on the battlefield. Jill felt very uncomfortable.

The key thing is that his strength is almost exhausted.

On the battlefield, as a sixth-level warrior, it was still very difficult for him to change the situation.

At this time, he thought about it and decided to take out the potion Orson gave him and drank it in one gulp.

The limbs and bones of his body were instantly filled with strength. Then, he picked up his long sword and rushed to the battlefield again.

A mercenary was facing the attack of two orcs. The long-handled weapon he used was used in conjunction with the friendly shield on the city wall, but his friendly soldier had his head split open by the orcs before. At this moment, he was struggling to resist the two orcs alone. The orcs can only survive.

Just when he thought he was about to die, Vergil rushed over. Almost instantly, Vergil, who had fully recovered his physical strength, killed the two orcs. Then he glanced at the mercenary and gave him a wink.

The mercenary understood this and followed Virgil. The two of them cooperated and fought with the orcs on the city wall.

As time passed, there were fewer orc soldiers on the city wall.

The first wave of the orcs' attack was defeated.

At this time, Virgil looked at the piles of corpses at the base of the city wall. There were humans and orcs. The corpses were mixed and piled up, and it was impossible to tell who was who.

He gasped.

Then he walked down the city wall and went to the headquarters to find Xiu Vas.

The situation at the headquarters was not easy at the moment. The guard standing at the door had already gone to the battlefield. Xiuvas was sitting alone in the headquarters with a solemn expression.

The calmness with which the two of them had talked and laughed three days ago was completely gone.

"According to statistics, our troops have less than 2,000 troops left after this round of attacks..." Xivas sighed.

"Now, not only the reserve team, but also the city wall can't be filled up."

"Then we need to release the city wall and fight the orcs in the streets?"

"This can delay time, but don't forget that orcs have a natural advantage in street fighting..."

"Anyway, Mr. Osun's troops are on the way. We just need to hold on for a few more hours. As long as we hold on until they arrive, we will win."

"I hope so." Hearing this, Xivas nodded. Then, he began to order the soldiers on the city wall to withdraw one after another, shrink the defense into the city, and rely on the houses in the city to fight the enemy in street battles.

Street fighting will definitely not cause as much damage to the enemy as wall fighting, but the key is that street fighting can delay the enemy's time very well.

For both parties now, what they lack most is precisely time.

The orcs need time to break into the city and obtain the food and grass supplies in the city, while the humans hope to delay the arrival of the large army.

If the large army is unable to arrive, then Xiuvas and the others will have no choice but to burn the food and grass supplies in the city.

Two in the afternoon

At around 12:00, Balu watched the orcs rest enough, and then prepared for the orcs to prepare for the next wave of attacks.

At this moment, Balu suddenly discovered that there were no traces of humans on the city wall, which made him doubtful for a long time.

Are humans playing an empty city tactic with him?

Or is it that the city wall is actually a fraud?

But Balu can't control that much at the moment. During today's day's siege, another 10,000 orc soldiers fell here. He only has less than 60,000 soldiers left in his hands at the moment. He wants to take these six When thousands of warriors return to the desert, the orcs will have more possibilities.
