Chapter 855 The Battle of the City Gate
The injuries on his body constantly inspired the fierceness of the beastmen.
The blood-covered orc roared wildly.
They pushed forward continuously against the firepower of the defending troops.
It is completely a posture to forcibly break through the city gate.
No one can deny that this momentum is appalling.
Facing such an orc army.
Zhao Pan, who was standing on the wall, had a solemn expression on his face.
As the distance continued to get closer, the orc troops began to gradually get out of the attack range of the three-bow crossbow and the return cannon.
Without the fire suppression of these two large ordnance.
The offensive of the orc troops became more ferocious.
The speed of advancement is greatly improved.
In a short time, he rushed to the bottom of the city gate.
Without hesitation, Zhao Pan made a move in the face of such a situation.
He directly motioned the soldiers on the wall to greet them with a log and a beating stone.
This battle of defending the city continued for a week.
This week, the orc troops launched a full four attacks.
A whole battle situation from the initial stalemate to the current one is constantly consuming each other.
The resources for defending the city within the Beidi Mountain City are decreasing day by day.
During this period, the most troublesome thing was that the group of orcs were just outside the city.
Make it impossible for them to go out of the city to recycle resources.
Maintaining this state of mutual consumption, the orc troops launched their fifth attack on the northern mountain city at noon a week later!
After so many fights in a row, the orcs have undoubtedly thoroughly figured out the attack methods of the defending troops.
At the same time, everyone has gained experience and improved their memory.
Now facing such firepower suppression again, they can say that they are not panic at all.
The orcs in the front row held up the shields in their hands and pushed forward against the firepower of the defending troops.
In the face of such a situation, the more cowardly you are, the more dangerous you are, the faster you rush, the easier it is to rush into the safe zone.
This is the accumulation of experience they have gained from several consecutive battles.
The orc troops quickly rushed to the bottom of the city and began to frantically charge the city gate.
The dense muffled sound of 'bang bang bang' stimulated the nerves of every soldier behind the city gate.
With each shot down, the entire city gate seemed to be shaking violently.
It has to be said that the power of these orcs is simply heart-pounding.
One by one, they are all like humanoid siege vehicles.
There have been so many defensive battles in succession.
The city gate has long since been devastated.
Zhao Pan couldn't let these orcs smash the city gate.
After the city gate is damaged, it can still be repaired by goblin engineers.
But if it's all smashed, there's nothing to fix.
After ordering the soldiers to carry out two more rounds of attacks with logs and hammers.
The horn sounded, and the closed city gate slowly rose.
Looking at the rising city gate, Bethan and the others originally thought that the elephant and the rhino would take the lead in attacking.
But they were wrong.
What greeted them was a whole piece of densely packed spears!
At the moment when the city gate opened, sharp spears stabbed out directly.
Orcs have strong physiques, but in the final analysis they are still flesh and blood.
Facing the infantry troops, this almost blocked the entire spear formation at the entrance of the city gate.
The group of orcs who rushed at the front at that time decisively paid the price in blood.
A spear nearly five meters long.
Coupled with the cover of the big shield soldiers in the front row.
The soldiers were placed in a theoretically absolutely safe area, and they frantically launched a stab attack at the orcs who were trying to rush into the city.
Such an intensive offensive made the orcs' offensive momentum noticeably stagnate.
Even the bear man who was still aggressive before.
At this moment, he couldn't help but take two steps back.
"What about wild boars and werewolves?! Hurry up and get up!!"
Facing the dense spears, Besson shouted loudly.
Besen's remarks at this time were obviously not shouting indiscriminately.
As the vanguard of the orc army, the boars have shields in their hands.
The werewolves are standard sword and shield equipment.
In the current situation, it is obviously a relatively reasonable request for them to use their shields to block the opposing spear formation.
In the heart of the werewolf patriarch Wade, although he was not very happy, he finally braved it.
Now in this situation, the doors of the human camp have been opened.
As long as they break through this line of defense and enter, they will win half of the battle.
At this time, if he retires, Besson's side will definitely not be able to be kind after the fact.
So at this point, he can be said to have to go.
And when the werewolf tribe moved, the wild boars obviously had to bite the bullet.
The offense and defense of spear and shield are constantly being staged inside the city gate.
The troops on both sides sometimes advance and sometimes retreat.
For a while, the situation fell into a brief stalemate.
And in the end, it was the werewolf patriarch Wade who broke the deadlock!
He took advantage of the gap created by retreating during an offense and defense.
He suddenly waved the sword on his right hand.
One knife cut off the head of one of the spears!
A spear with a length of five meters is not light.
Of course no one is stupid enough to cast it all out of metal.
This will not only increase the weight several times, but also greatly increase the cost.
Therefore, under normal circumstances, only the spearhead part will be used for metal casting.
This is to ensure the lethality of the spear.
The rest is made of wood.
This ensures that the portion will not be too heavy, and at the same time saves costs.
At that moment, Wade undoubtedly avoided the metal part.
A knife slashed on the wooden shaft of the spear.
The sharp point of the spear was cut off by Wade.
Without the spear head, the lethality can be said to have gone to 90% in an instant.
The other werewolves and boars saw it and did the same.
Relying on the physical superiority of the orcs, they constantly destroyed the weapons in the hands of the spearmen.
This is something that the Terran troops absolutely cannot do.
If ordinary human troops dare to do this.
It is estimated that it will be smashed into a sieve in minutes.
It was these rough-skinned orcs who dared to play like this by taking advantage of their physical fitness.
After paying some injuries as the price, the spear formation that blocked the city gate was directly disintegrated.
Without the sharp point of the spear, the soldiers obviously did not dare to continue to engage in head-to-head confrontation with the orcs.
A whole army quickly retreated towards the back.
And the orcs rushing in front rushed in.
Faced with such a situation, Zhao Pan, who had already run under the city wall to command the battle.
Decisively signaled the soldiers responsible for manipulating the city gate mechanism to lower the raised city gate.
He wants to use the city gate to directly divide the strength of this orc army into two.
First solve the batch inside the city gate, and then go to slowly take care of the batch outside the city gate!
Several soldiers who received this order.
Pushing the mechanism wheel in his hand, after a few attempts to no avail.
There was obvious panic in his expression.
"General! The city gate mechanism is broken!"
"..."
