The orc army finally arrived at the barren slope ten miles outside the imperial city in the dark.

Looking from a distance, those tall figures in the darkness roared one after another, which was really frightening.

Yan Longzhun was not panicked and ordered all the generals in the court to guard the four gates. He still stayed in the imperial study room and rarely met with the ministers every day. He did not even hold court meetings, which made the ministers anxious and unaware.

What to do.

Even the ministers who only knew how to fight for power at the vegetarian table had calmed down a lot at this time, hoping to see Yan Long's army repelling the orc army.

In fact, many merchants and small households had already escaped through the south gate a few days ago, but now the four gates are closed and they cannot even escape, making the situation even more tense.

Early the next morning.

The orc army beats drums and attacks.

Looking from afar, the black army numbered tens of thousands, divided into three streams, each riding fast horses, rushing towards the city wall.

Fortunately, it is difficult to attack a city but easy to defend it.

After all, it is a high wall of more than twenty meters. The wall is ten meters thick, and horses can be raced on it. No matter who it is, anyone who wants to break through such a high wall will have to pay a huge price.

Among them, Yan Zhaoxuan was ordered to guard the North City, and one of the city defenders below was General Zhou.

Seeing that the orc army was five hundred meters away, within the range of the powerful crossbow arrows, Yan Zhaoxuan gave an order, swish, swish...

The powerful crossbow arrows, with the sound of bursting into the air and with incomparable power, were shot towards the orc army. With a bang, they penetrated the chest of an orc, shot straight through, and knocked down the person behind him.

.

"Okay!" People cheered.

The second orc pulled out the crossbow from his chest, pressed his chest briefly, and continued running forward.

They are sub-beasts, slaves of the beast army, and cannon fodder. They come here to die.

The money to buy their lives has been given to their families. If they die in the war, it will be fine. If they win, they will make money. However, escaping may harm their families.

Therefore, they fight to the death without retreating.

Seeing how ferocious these orcs were, with blood pouring from their chests and still rushing towards the city wall without caring about their own safety, many of the soldiers were slightly moved.

Most of the soldiers in the city defense army had never experienced life or death. They usually only bullied and bullied the common people. Now, seeing how ferocious the orcs were, they felt a little weak in their legs.

Fortunately, the enemy is outside the city wall, otherwise they would probably be defeated by the enemy in a single encounter.

"Shoot." Seeing the Orc army rushing within 300 meters, General Zhou led the flag officers and shouted, and the first round of arrows were fired one after another.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh...

Ho ho ho…

A few fell down in the front row, and some arrows were missed. Watching the orcs running, their footsteps rumbled across the ground, making a majestic resonance sound, everyone's heartbeat accelerated, and some people even couldn't hold it.

Stable crossbow arrows.

"Shoot again." General Zhou kept giving orders.

Ordinary archers can use such a powerful crossbow to fire three or five rounds in a row before they are exhausted. However, their warriors are all quasi-warriors, or first-level warriors, and can shoot almost ten rounds in a row, but after ten rounds, they need to

Rest and switch to another team of crossbowmen.

At this time, the orc army had gone through ten rounds of arrow rain, and at least several hundred people had died, but the remaining troops had already rushed under the city wall.

A group of orc troops hung up the ladders and began to formally attack the city.

The orc army behind them started to throw their bows and arrows upward again, whoosh, whoosh, the arrows were incredibly powerful.
