Chapter 41 Behemoth Siege(2/2)
After marching to a position two hundred meters away from the city wall, the orc army suddenly accelerated its pace, switching from marching in formation to charging, and rushed towards the city wall with a roar.
Braving the rain of arrows and falling rocks, he bravely set up the ladder.
The brave and invincible tauren, pig-headed men, and trolls began to climb up the ladder. Each of them had a ferocious face, a gaping mouth, and even bloody shreds of meat.
"One, two, three, push!"
The city defenders were not vegetarians either. They raised the push rod and pushed down the newly hung ladder. The orc hanging on the ladder fell to the ground like a scurrying meat skewer.
I was so shaken that my whole body was shattered and I couldn't get up anymore.
Those orcs who stood at the foot of the ladder and were about to line up to climb the ladder were even worse. They were knocked dizzy by the huge rocks above their heads. The unlucky ones were even hit so hard that their shoulder blades were cracked.
Even skull cracking!
To attack a city is to risk your lives, not just for words.
Facing the incoming orc army, the city defense battalion and Shanshan battalion responsible for defending the city, with a total of 500 swordsmen, 700 spearmen, and 600 crossbowmen, did not give up.
The city defense line was firmly held.
Also assisting in the defense of the city were two thousand middle-aged laborers temporarily recruited from the kiln area, who were specifically responsible for carrying and smashing stones, as well as carrying the wounded off the city wall.
Tang Jing was stationed near the city gate, responsible for treating the wounded with blessings.
With him.
There are also the Guards Battalion and the Zhenyue Battalion that are ready for battle.
Further afield, the 1,500 archers from Shenjian Camp and Sharp Arrow Camp had already stood at pre-marked positions, ready to launch projectile attacks from inside the city to outside the city.
Only the Red Feather Camp and the trapped camp were missing.
"Almost!"
Although the second wave of attacks still failed to work, Saka was not anxious at all.
It's good that the orc army can attack the city, but if it can't, as long as all the firepower of the defenders on the city is contained, then it can be regarded as achieving the set goal.
Next comes the main course.
"clear!"
Sann grinned and ran to deliver the military order himself.
"Boom! Boom!"
With a new round of war drums, the orcs' secret weapon for attacking the city, the siege cone, was finally pushed out, revealing its ferocious fangs.
The siege awl was a log that could be hugged by one person, with the head sharpened and wrapped with iron sheets.
It is then propelled by a wooden wheel.
The people responsible for pushing the cart were a hundred orcs wearing armor and holding shields.
And the real protagonist.
In fact, it is the Behemoth beast following behind the chariot.
It has a huge body of five meters high. At first glance, it looks a bit like an ancient giant land otter or a gibbon, but it has a pair of horns on its head.
Hair all over the body.
The armor and helmet he wore covered his eyes.
Like a giant steel beast.
"Boom! Boom!"
Every time the giant Behemoth takes a step, the earth seems to be shaking.
"Did you finally show up?"
On top of the city tower, Tu Gang, who was specifically responsible for the defense of the city gate, had a solemn expression.
Thanks to "Squirrel 006" and "Jiyinghu" for their reward support, thank you!
