Chronicles of Ryan the Wizard

General Keenster watched a few hundred meters away, tens of thousands of orc soldiers flocked to Thor fortress like a tide. Although most of the orc’s siege equipment was destroyed by human drappers, the faces of those orc soldiers were not visible. Frightened, they rushed towards Thor Fortress in a mess. They didn't even think about how to climb the nearly ten-meter-high wall of Thor Fortress, as if their goal was to die under the city of Thor Fortress.

"A hundred thousand cowards are not as good as ten thousand fearless warriors." General Keynst whispered a famous saying by Fernando I. His voice was so small that even the Adjutant Hans standing beside him could not hear it clearly.Just as Adjutant Hans was about to ask what General Keernst had said, General Keernst issued another order: "500 meters ahead of the target, indiscriminate ejection."

Ten thousand archers respectively loosened the bowstrings in their hands and shot the feather arrows that had pointed to the sky, and then drew another arrow from the quiver behind them, put it on the bowstring, drew the bowstring, and shot it out... The sky was suddenly covered by a "dark cloud".The archers stationed in Thor Fortress are the most elite archers of mankind. They have undergone years of rigorous training. If they are aimed at the enemy, they can shoot an average of 12 arrows per minute. If it is an indiscriminate ejection regardless of the target, these The archer only needs to forcefully shoot the arrows toward the enemy's sky. In that case, at least 15 feather arrows are shot per minute.

With 10,000 archers shooting 15 times per minute, that is 150,000 feather arrows that can take the life of the enemy.The orc offensive forces do not have much protection at all. Under such intensive attacks by human archers, the loss is huge, as if raindrops. No, it should be said that feather arrows that are denser than raindrops fell from a high altitude and inserted into the head of the orcs. Or the front chest, immediately took a life.

The rain of arrows shot by the human archer covered the entire sky like a dark cloud. The attacking orcs were attracted by this sudden sight and raised their heads to watch. The hundreds of orcs who were the first to bear the brunt had no resistance at all, and did not even hum. He was shot by dense feather arrows and shrivelled to the ground.

When many orcs carrying homemade wooden shields saw it, they immediately lifted the simple wooden shield in their hands and blocked them directly in front of them to block the "Arrow Rain" attack.But the feather arrows fired by human archers are too dense. With a small wooden shield alone, there is no way to completely envelop themselves. Moreover, the tip of the feather arrow thrown out has a sharp arrow, plus With the attack power falling from a high altitude, a small amount of feather arrows directly penetrated the rough wooden shields made by the orcs and directly hit the orcs soldiers' heads.

"Ah!" An orc who held up the shield and placed it on top of his head as much as possible to prevent his vitality from being shot by the feather arrow screamed. A slender feather arrow penetrated his wooden shield and shot After hitting his head, the severe pain made the orc no longer able to hold the shield in his hand. His shield fell to the ground. The orc was holding the sparse hair on his head and did not make any moves. Seven or eight feather arrows were inserted into his body, and he fell to the ground covered in blood.

Another clever orc soldier saw that he had already hit a few arrows. He was so fierce that he lifted the body of a companion from the ground and put it on his head, using his dead companion to block the arrow rain for himself.He is dead now, but there are only some cattle and sheep, but if he can climb the 10-meter-high city wall and kill a human soldier, he can get a war horse and a good weapon.

Other orcs were inspired by him and picked up their fallen companions, filled with shields, and even a few undead orc soldiers were lifted above their heads by his companions.The screams from their companions aroused the fierceness of the orcs. They uttered a series of monosyllable shouts against their companion’s corpse, carrying more or less feather arrows on their bodies, crazy Ran towards the Thor Fortress.

Behind these orc soldiers, the advancing speed of several battering rams has also accelerated a lot, because many orc soldiers hid inside the battering ram, using the thick planks of the ram to avoid bow and arrow shooting. The orcs pushed these siege weapons together, naturally speeding up their progress.

There are also many orcs who smashed their weapons and smashed down the scrapped stone dump trucks and the parts of the siege ladder. Even a wooden board is better than a charge without any protection, while the wooden ladder of the siege ladder is After being completely dismantled by the orcs, several orcs rushed forward while lifting them back and forth. One person fell down with an arrow, and immediately the nearby orcs took the ladder and continued to rush forward.

By this time, the 30,000 troops of the Black Hawk clan had less than 20,000 left, and most of them were more or less wounded, but their desire to fight became stronger and stronger, and their running speed increased. The sooner, he gradually pushed into the wall of Thor Fortress.In the large open space behind the orcs, the corpses of the orc soldiers lay all over the place, densely packed bows and arrows stuck on the ground, and the white tail feathers pointed to the sky high, like a large lush forest.

At this moment, human archers can no longer use projectiles to shoot enemies, but they can lower the launch angle and use more accurate shooting to continue to harvest the lives of the orcs, but the bows and arrows they shoot are no longer falling high. With the impact, it is already difficult to shoot through the orc's body.

"Your Excellency, the orcs are only 100 meters away. I ask you again, for your safety and the safety of Thor's fortress, please enter the command post immediately!" Adjutant Hans said anxiously in General Keenster's ear, he even had He signaled to follow the general guard next to him. If the general insisted on standing on the wall with almost no defensive measures, he would take General Keenster West away forcibly at all costs.

Fortunately, General Keynst did not persist any longer. He gave the order to "prepare to fight" and hurriedly left the city wall with his guards and hid in the strong command post.Under the southern wall of Thor Fortress, there is a very strong small defense fortress built. This is the command post.This small fortress is close to the wall. Due to the angle, it is almost impossible for the stone bullets thrown by the orc army to hit this place after crossing the wall of the Thor Fortress. As for the bow and arrow fired by the orcs, even if it really falls on the fortress, How is it possible to penetrate a wall at least one meter thick?

When resisting the attack of the orcs, especially the short-armed defensive battle, the top commander of the Thor Fortress will be here to understand the situation and command the battle through the messenger.If the top commander is stationed on a relatively weak defense and facing the wall attacked by the orc army, if a stream of orcs hits the top commander of Thor Fortress, how can the next defensive battle be fought?

When General Keynst withdrew from the city wall, the front-line commander General Clark assumed the responsibility of commanding the battlefield. He issued a series of instructions in accordance with the orders issued by General Keynst:

"The first brigade stepped forward and took over the position!"

The four messengers standing next to General Clark immediately raised the red and white flags in their hands, and quickly passed General Clark's orders to the messengers on both sides of the city wall through semaphores. After receiving the instructions, the messengers immediately shouted out loud. , Notified the captain standing near them, and at the same time sent a semaphore to the next group of messengers on their left or right.

Within a few minutes, General Clark’s orders spread across the entire wall of Thor Fortress. A large number of human warriors with sharp iron swords in one hand and iron shields in the other walked neatly to the north of the Thor Fortress wall. On the side, staring at the enemy who was less than 50 meters away from the city wall.

"All the archers gave up their positions, evacuated the city wall to rest, and added bows and arrows."

Those archers who had just fired continuously immediately pulled away and left the first line of defense. Their bows and arrows were not very useful in hand-over combat. Besides, in the previous round of shooting, they had basically finished shooting the arrows in the quiver. , It's time to add something.

"The second squadron stepped forward, crossed positions with the first squadron, and cooperated in combat!"

Groups of human soldiers armed with long spears came to the edge of the city wall almost all the way. These spear fighters are good at attacking distant enemies. The long spears in their hands are at least 3 meters long, plus the length of their arms to stab them out. Attacked the orc who was climbing.However, the spear fighters have poor protection for themselves, and they need the protection and cooperation of sword and shield fighters who are good at close combat and have good defensive capabilities.

"The fourth brigade is on standby, ready to support!"

A few meters behind the spear soldiers and sword and shield soldiers, groups of soldiers brought heavy stones and woods, ready to give the enemy a fatal blow.

A long wooden ladder was placed on the wall of Thor's Fortress. A bloody orc let out a weird cry and climbed up the wooden ladder. He was holding a whip in his hand. This was his son. Something used for grazing, but if this thing is pulled hard on a person, it can still roll up a long wound.

The orc raised his head and climbed halfway, he saw the faces of human soldiers appearing on the city wall. The orc squeezed the whip in his hand hard, and was about to pull it out, when he saw a long rod. The gun pierced down, and he stood on the wooden ladder, unable to escape, and was pierced in the chest by the spear.

The spear was swung vigorously by the human soldier, and the orc was weakened in limbs after being severely injured. He could no longer grasp the wooden ladder by the spear, so he fell straight down and hit his companion.His companion cursed loudly, pushed hard against the orc on his head, grabbed the wooden ladder with one hand and quickly climbed up, while the other hand waved the bronze axe in his hand, not on his head. Stop waving, used to block the spear stabbed by human soldiers.
