There is a new book "Starting from a Superstar". Please help me collect it and give me some recommendations!
*****************
The two groups faced each other and moved slowly until they reached the orc camp several thousand meters away from the human city wall.
Shantali did not take the entire team with him this time. He also left five thousand soldiers and horses to guard the rear camp. After all, his camp had the food, grass and baggage needed for a large army to feed their horses and chew, and there were thousands more.
wounded soldiers, and tens of thousands of human slaves.
Some of these human and elven slaves were brought with them when they set out to transport baggage and cannon fodder used to fill trenches during the siege, and some were small wandering tribes they captured on the way and scattered in the wild.
In the eyes of Shantali and others, these slaves are very qualified cannon fodder and two-legged sheep. They can usually transport baggage and carry the wounded. When setting up camp, they can also be used to cut trees, build camps, manufacture various siege equipment, and fight wars.
When there are enemies, they can also be driven to rush forward, fill ditches, block arrows and act as cannon fodder.
If there is not enough food one day, these guys are still very good meat supplements. They are very qualified two-legged sheep, so Shantali still attaches great importance to these slaves.
Even before the war was over, he did not allow the orc soldiers to abuse these slaves.
When he launched the general attack this time, he considered that there were still many wounded soldiers in the camp, so he simply left five thousand soldiers and horses to guard the camp. On the one hand, they were to look after the homes and courtyards and take care of the wounded soldiers. On the other hand, they also wanted to give the slaves to the camp.
Be careful, lest these guys take the opportunity to cause trouble.
However, the five thousand people he left behind were mostly old, weak, sick and disabled, as well as those orcs who were not suitable for fighting today, such as the wild bees.
Today, those humans had won the battle, and their morale was extremely high. They actually stayed slowly behind the orc army, and even followed them to the front of the camp.
This made Shantali feel angry and helpless at the same time. He was angry because these damn humans were so brave that they dared to follow them like hyenas. Did they really treat me as food to be slaughtered?
?
Unfortunately, even though he was very angry, there was really nothing he could do against these human cavalry.
He had also arranged for Demasi to launch a counterattack before, but the effect was very poor. Not only were the two thousand heavy armored infantry he had just collected gone, but even Demasi was killed on the spot.
Now if other people are asked to lead the team to disperse these human cavalry, I am afraid that no one will be willing to lead the team out. Everyone knows that the human mage is in the camp of the human cavalry.
In the end, Demaxi simply stopped looking behind. When he reached the front of the camp, he asked the messenger around him to signal the orc soldiers guarding the camp to open the door.
This camp was built very securely. The method of building the camp was also learned by Shantali and a captured human general. The camp was backed by a hill, which not only provided shelter from wind and rain, but also had a stream flowing down from the mountain.
Directly introduced into the camp to provide water for the orcs.
In addition, they also dug a moat outside the camp, which introduced water from several nearby small rivers into the moat, so the outside of the camp was relatively safe.
The walls of the camp are made of huge trees cut down from the mountains. They are more than four meters high. Although they are not as tall as human walls, they are still enough.
He looked back at the human cavalry behind him. It was indeed just a group of cavalry, about two to three thousand people. There were no infantry and no siege equipment. Seeing this, he felt relieved. There was no way they could attack the city.
Soon the suspension bridge was lowered from the gate of the camp, and the gate of the camp slowly opened. Shantali led his ape-man guards through the suspension bridge and entered the camp first, followed by other orc groups, all following the instructions.
They are divided into bloodlines and classes in the Orc Alliance.
The last ones entering the city were of course the kobolds and werewolf cavalry who were at the bottom of the Orc Alliance.
More than 10,000 people entered the camp through a five-meter-wide gate. Of course, the speed could not be faster. Shantali had already entered the camp for a long time, and the team entering the city was only halfway through.
He didn't know why, but after entering the camp, he felt strange. A strange feeling of panic lingered in his heart, but he couldn't explain what was going on.
He looked up and started looking around, but he didn't see anything wrong?
Suddenly he remembered, why were there no screams of wounded soldiers in this camp?
In the siege battle a few days ago, he lost a lot of his men, and among the injured were thousands of wounded soldiers. These wounded soldiers were originally taken back by the orcs from each tribe to take care of them according to the old rules.
But they were badly injured by Xiao Feng's thermal weapons. Even though these orcs had very strong recovery capabilities, they were still helpless against wounds caused by bullets and shell fragments.
So after returning, everyone was screaming ghostly, and the whole camp was filled with the wails of these guys. Shantali considered that these guys were scattered among the various tribes, and they would not die for a while, so why not?
Keep calling like this, but it is easy to damage the morale of other orcs, so they were ordered to be gathered together and placed in a camp on the left side of the camp gate.
In the past few days, many of those wounded soldiers have died, but there are still about two thousand soldiers holding on in the camp. Every time they come in and out from the gate, they can hear the screams of those guys, but
I didn't hear it this time.
When he thought of this, Shantali screamed inwardly, and then quickly gave orders to his guards.
"Be vigilant. There may be changes. Tam, come here and blow the trumpet quickly to send an order for everyone to be vigilant. Call me some other generals by the way."
Shantali grabbed his trusted messenger and said, "This is a very clever little monkey." After listening to the order, Tam turned around and went to play the trumpet.
He quickly climbed to a nearby observation pole and took out a copper horn. As soon as he blew it, a black shadow suddenly flew into the air and pierced his neck.
This monkey named Tam didn't even make a sound, he just fell from the pole to the ground.
Shantali, who had been watching Tam from below, waiting for him to play the trumpet, even Mao immediately stood up: "It's not good that there is an ambush, there is an ambush..."
The ape-man guards around him were even more excited, making the sound of a long sword being unsheathed, and then protecting it in the middle.
The cry of an ambush soon spread throughout the entire camp. The half-orcs who were slowly entering the city just now were also stunned. When they looked up at the camp again, they suddenly saw a series of towering rocks rising into the sky from the north of the camp.
There was a flash of fire, and then the camps on the left and right began to burn.
I don’t know what happened, but the fire was very big and started very quickly. It was just a few spots of fire at first, but within a short time, the flames became one, and the fire became bigger and bigger.
Those orcs are all stupid, what is going on?
I originally wanted to go back to the camp and have a good rest, but why the hell did the camp catch fire?
And at this time, I don’t know where, bows and arrows flew out one after another, and stupid orcs were constantly being shot, and then fell to the ground screaming, but in a moment, they turned into pools.
Thick water.
Seeing such poisonous arrows, Shantali immediately understood that these poisonous arrows were the bows and arrows used by the poisonous bee people. Are these poisonous bee people crazy?
They actually dared to shoot their comrades, what were they doing?
With the fire all over the camp, and the constant wailing of people falling to the ground after being hit by arrows, the orc army, which was already low in morale, instantly became a mess, especially when they saw the fire spreading towards them.
Some orc soldiers wanted to rush into the camp to put out the fire, while others wanted to rush out of the village gate and stay away from the fire. Without unified command, and with low morale, the orcs soon went into chaos.
A ball.
Shantali loudly shouted to his men not to mess up, and sent people to contact other orc leaders. But in this dark time, and there were Orc soldiers running around everywhere, he just wanted to contact other Orc leaders.
I can't get in touch either.
At this moment, a thunderous rumble suddenly came from behind, and the human cavalry took advantage of this moment to start charging.
If it were in the past, no matter how many of these human cavalry came, the orcs would not be afraid of them, but now they themselves are in chaos, without any discipline or military formation at all.
Moreover, many orc soldiers cannot find their direct leader at all. They have no command, let alone order. How can you let these orcs resist?
A few hundred meters away, the human cavalry rushed over in the blink of an eye. The cavalry sword in their hands was swung round, and they rushed to the place where the orcs were gathering. They just waved it, and every time they raised and lowered the sword, they could take away the lives of several orcs.
.
The orcs, who had been running away almost all night, finally collapsed into chaos. Some wanted to turn around and fight, while others wanted to escape. Their ideas could not be unified, and they became more and more chaotic on the battlefield.
Human cavalry are coming from behind to chase and kill them. Once the speed of those tall horses is increased, the human cavalry does not need to swing their swords. However, any half-orc that blocks the path of these horses will be knocked away unless you are a rhinoceros.
go out.
For a time, there was chaos in front of the camp's suspension bridge. In order to avoid the pursuit of human cavalry, countless orcs even jumped into the river and tried to swim away for their lives.
The orcs inside the city wanted to escape from the fire and rushed out of the city. The orcs outside the city wanted to avoid the human cavalry and hid in the camp. The two groups were in a stalemate at the camp gate behind the suspension bridge, huddled together.
A ball.
At this time, Xiao Feng's JLTV combat vehicle slowly arrived. Looking at the thousands of orcs huddled in front of him, he sneered and pulled the bolt of his gun. It was time to harvest the lives of these orcs again.
