Chronicles of Ryan the Wizard

"Roar! About three hundred orcs screamed astonishingly, lined up in a loose formation, waved their weapons and launched a charge. Their target was a human position 50 meters away. This human position is located on two streets. At the confluence, as long as you get through here, two orcs attacking from different directions can meet here.

It has been 5 days since the orcs invaded Fernando City. They were strongly intercepted by the human defenders, and they suffered casualties almost every step forward.Although every orc killed, humans will pay the price of fifteen to twenty people killed in battle, but the imperial capital at this time has a population of at least 8 million, and there are more than 2 million young and middle-aged armed men. This is a way to exclude humans. Any race has a number of chills.

Humans are not afraid of sacrifice, because even if these 2 million soldiers are killed in battle, the imperial capital can summon another 2 million soldiers, although the quality of the soldiers will inevitably drop.And mankind is not the only city. The Holy League Empire nominally controls a population of more than 60 million. There are many cities with a permanent population of more than 200,000. There are also several cities with more than 500,000. These are relatively densely populated. As long as there are supplies and equipment, a large number of fighters can be quickly armed.Even if it is only conscripts in the few areas that the empire can actually control, it can once again get more than 2 million troops in a short time.

But the orcs are not good. The entire orc tribe has a population of only a few million. There are still elderly and children removed. Moreover, once the orcs are wiped out, the continuation of the orcs will have serious problems. The orcs rely on hunting. To make a living with grazing, relying solely on the elderly and children, these things are very difficult to do.

Moreover, the orcs are not monolithic. Although the Barbarian Bear clan is the dominant family, now it has 250,000 troops, but if they reduce their troops in battle, their dominance will be peeped by other clans.The most important reason why the Barbarian Bear clan has gained today's dominance is that the previous orc ruler, the Wolf Clan, suffered a great loss of strength after attacking humans, and this allowed the Barbarian Bear clan to seize this position in one fell swoop.

Now, it has been 5 days since the orcs invaded Fernando City, and the front troops of the Barbarian Bear clan suffered a great deal. The 3 million teams were almost disabled and had to quit the battle.However, the orcs soon changed some strategies. The Beast King ordered the orcs army to be in units of a thousand people, and equipped with small siege equipment such as stone dump trucks, striving to occupy the traffic arteries in the city first, and divide and surround the human defenders. Once the encirclement is successful , Use superior forces to forcibly annihilate.The orc army that assaulted at the front was about six kilometers away from the Royal Observatory in the city center.

The orc’s offensive changed, and these important pieces of information were quickly gathered in front of Luke and Orlando. After careful consideration, Orlando began to revise the human line of defense in response to this situation, focusing on the protection of the main traffic arteries. The advantage blocked the orcs offensive, and then mobilized elite troops to use the actual situation of human and orc fronts intertwined to penetrate into the orc occupation area and harass the orcs' logistics.

The crossroads between humans and orcs are now a very important place in the imperial capital city. To the south is the central area of ​​the imperial capital, which is the administrative area of ​​the imperial capital. Important buildings such as the central square and the imperial palace are located in this area.If the orcs occupy here, they can cut off the connection between the human defenders in the northern area of ​​the imperial capital and the outside world, and they can also attack the central square in the central area of ​​the imperial capital through the main road of the imperial capital.Because the streets to the south here are very wide, it is perfectly possible for more than eight carriages to run side by side. Orcs' mobile units such as wolf cavalry and mammoth army can play their greatest role, and humans are also difficult to defend.

"Hurry up!" With the command of the officer, dozens of human archers stood up from behind the bunker and pulled their bowstrings at the orc who rushed up."Swish! Swish! Swish!" The feather arrow flew out, shooting down a dozen orc warriors.The remaining orc warriors didn't care about the life or death of their companions. They strode over the fallen corpse and rushed towards the human defense at full speed.

There are 3 lines of human defense here, each of which is separated by approximately 50 meters.These lines of defense are made of flax pockets filled with soil and piled up. The height of the bunker is almost as high as the waist of a human adult man.In this way, human spear fighters can rely on this kind of bunker to form a square formation against the orcs.

"Quickly, prepare for the gun array!"

Hundreds of human spear fighters were arranged to stand in three rows as they usually train, and they pointed their spears at the orc fighters.The orc didn't care about the chill from the sharp spear tip, and slammed into it.

"Punch!" The spear passed through the body of the orc who charged in the front, and these dying orcs furiously threw the axe in their hands."Ah!" Many of the human warriors standing in the front row were hit by the thrown axe and fell to the ground.Several gaps appeared in the square formation, and the soldiers standing in the back two rows immediately filled it up, preventing the orcs from having a chance to enter.

The human fighters guarding here are all trained elite troops, especially these spear fighters, who retreated from Thor Fortress and belonged to the Jonas Legion.Because of their record in the No. 2 camp of Thor Fortress, Orlando trusts them very much, so they transferred two brigades with a total of 10,000 people, led by an infantryman and stationed here.

It is also this elite force that has experienced the flames of war, which smashed the arrogance of the orcs here. The dense spear blades did not know how many orc lives were harvested, and the plan of the orcs to occupy here before dark yesterday failed. .After a quiet night, when the sun rose today, the orcs launched a more violent attack.Several thousand teams charge in turn at all costs. Orcs and human defenders are fighting at almost every moment.

However, these long spear phalanxes from Thor's fortress withstood the tremendous pressure. Although their own casualties were heavy, they did not allow the orcs to move forward.In front of this first line of defense, corpses of orcs were lying.The first row stabbed long spears, then the second row and the third row... the tacit cooperation between each other made the attacking orcs completely unable to find a chance, either by being stabbed to death by random spears, or by being shot to death by human shooters through the gap.

The orcs also thought about attacking from the roofs on both sides of the street, but the human defenders had been prepared for a long time. They were also equipped with spear and spear arrays on both sides, and two small groups of shooters were added to not only shoot the orcs who attempted to attack. Death, but also condescending to help oneself defend the position.After trying several times, the orcs gave up this idea, because the dense buildings on both sides of the street are not conducive to the movement of the army. As long as they occupy a few key points, they can be easy to defend and difficult to attack. When there were too many people, they were crowded together to die in vain.

The orc general commanding the attack coldly watched as the attacking soldiers were killed by the human defenders one by one. He stood about 500 meters away from the human line of defense. Humans did not have a stone thrower, so they could not be hit by a ballista alone. It's safe to be so far.

The Orc General glanced past his eyes. Of course he didn’t know that this was a civilian area for humans. The street was not wide but the houses on both sides were dense and dense. He only knew that the street could allow six carriages to run side by side. However, at two to thirty meters, hundreds of people can be sent at one time. If there are more, not only will the battle be unable to expand, but humans will be slaughtered by weapons such as ballistas.

"Report the general! The siege equipment has arrived."

The orc general nodded. The reason why he stopped the offensive last night was to wait for the follow-up troops to mobilize these siege weapons from outside the city. Now after a few hours of attacks, the human defenders should be relatively exhausted. It was almost consumed, and it was time to launch a fatal blow.

"Very well, the smasher immediately attacked the human defense line for ten rounds, and then the siege vehicle made a full assault and must take this place. We were wasting too much time here."

"Observe, General!" A thousand-man team captain who stood by the side shouted loudly: "I will do my best." After saying this, the thousand-man team leader hurriedly ran up, yelling while running. : "Ready to fight!" About 30 meters away, a neatly organized phalanx of thousands of people immediately moved and began to move to the front.

Three small stone dump trucks were slowly pushed over and set up not far from the orc general.Five siege vehicles were pushed side by side to the front line, almost occupying the entire street.The captain of the thousand-man team called 200 people and divided them into five groups to follow behind the siege vehicle, and he personally led the rest, ready to support.

The orc general looked at the dump truck beside him, feeling relieved.He knows the power of the stone dumper. This small stone dumper has an attack distance of about 500 meters, and the thrown out of stone bullets is only 20 kilograms, but it is enough to cause huge damage to the human defenders' positions. , As long as it can destroy the enemy's dense defense, it can break through here and complete the goal of meeting the division.

The Orc General had a total of 10,000 people, but he separated about 4,000 two days ago, led by his deputy to launch an offensive from another direction, and they agreed to join forces at the crossroads that humans are currently defending.After these days of fighting, there are still more than 3,000 people in the orc general's hands. Most of them are neatly arranged in squares and stand 100 meters behind him. The iron-like discipline keeps these orc warriors quiet. Stand there quietly.

The sound of "squeaky squeaky" sounded, this is the orc warrior winking the cable reel, pulling the throwing rod of the boulder to the horizontal position. After this is done, an orc picked up a ball and did not know which building it came from The disassembled stones were placed in the "spoon" behind the projectile rod.

The orc general pressed his arm and motioned to wait for the attacking troops ahead.When the captain of the Orc Thousand Man Team led his men to a distance of about 100 meters from the human defense line, which was also the limit of the range of a human ballista, the Orc general raised his right arm high and looked at it with ambition. The human defense line in the distance swayed down as if to crush everything in front of him.
