*****************
Far away on the watchtower of the orc camp, the high priest Zhuo Tuo and the fox military counselor met, and their faces were already livid at this time.
They really didn't expect that these human soldiers could resist for such a long time?
It had been more than an hour since the battle started, and based on their previous experience, there had never been a human army that could sustain the orcs' full attack for such a long time without collapsing.
Another point is that the human army has caused them more casualties. So far, they have seen only three to four thousand orcs killed and injured.
Moreover, the casualties were all the tiger-headed men, lion-headed men and leopard-headed men of the Orc Alliance, the core elites.
In the end, even heavy armored infantry such as tauren and pig-heads, which they thought were invincible, were helpless against these human soldiers when they rushed forward. This simply subverted their previous understanding of the human army!
This is an army that is different from any human army they have seen before. It is full of tenacity and extremely lethal. Even if it is converted to the combat effectiveness of the Orc Alliance, it can rank among the high-level nobles.
Thinking of this, the expressions of the high priest Zhuo Tuo and the fox military counselor Hui Lan couldn't help but change. The fear of being dominated by humans for thousands of years came to their hearts again.
No, this human army cannot be allowed to escape. They must all be killed on the battlefield. The human backbone must be broken!
Fortunately, the hippopotamus and the rhino man joined the battle group in time, and they both breathed a sigh of relief. Finally, the real decisive force arrived on the battlefield.
Although these hippopotamus and rhino men look bulky, they can often play a decisive role in the battlefield.
Because their bodies are so huge! The advantage they have in terms of physical fitness cannot be erased by ordinary technical weapons!
Xiao Feng, who had been standing in the center of the large human formation in the distance, also noticed these giant orcs appearing on the battlefield. When he saw these guys, his expression changed.
These hippopotamus and rhino men were completely different from the orc heavy armored infantry he had seen before.
Those leopard-headed people, lion-headed people, and tiger-headed people are generally more than two meters tall, with the highest being only three meters. Their height and weight are basically about twice that of normal humans.
The physical fitness of the tauren and pig-heads is more powerful. They are basically over three meters tall and weigh about three times as much as humans.
But such an opponent is not invincible. When human soldiers have suitable technical weapons in their hands, such as those spears with three-edged bayonets, and wear plate armor with extremely strong protective capabilities, they coordinate in the battle formation.
Then these orcs are not invincible!
But rhinos and hippos are different. Adult rhinos and hippos are over five meters tall, and their weight is measured in tons. One arm can be thicker than an adult human's waist, and they are more powerful.
Several times that of ordinary humans.
He is wearing heavy armor and the iron knife he is carrying is three meters long. Even if humans have suitable technical weapons in their hands, as long as they don't have thermal weapons, meeting such a half-orc is basically just a joke.
over!
Not to mention the infantry phalanx, even the stone bullets thrown by the catapults from behind, these guys are not afraid of them because of their rough skin and thick flesh.
Xiao Feng saw with his own eyes that a watermelon-sized stone bullet flying in the air was swatted to the ground by the guy before it hit a hippo man, as if he was swatting a fly.
How much strength does this take?
At present, the only two weapons in human hands that can hurt them are the fierce fire oil tank and the big yellow crossbow!
However, the shooting density and accuracy of the Big Yellow Crossbow cannot be guaranteed. On the other hand, the fierce fire tank truck, although its firepower is still powerful, has also received serious interference at this time.
Although the tauren, pig-headed men, lion-men, leopard-headed men and other soldiers that had rushed over before were beaten to the point of collapse by the human phalanx.
But the reinforcements of rhino and hippopotamus at this time greatly boosted the morale of the orc camp, especially when a large wave of centaurs, werewolf cavalry, and kobold archers followed behind.
These orcs may not be good at attacking fortresses, but they still do a good job of roaming the battlefield and harassing human soldiers.
In particular, the Centaur shooters shot and killed the operators of the violent oil tanks one after another, causing the flame spray density and frequency of the violent oil tanks to greatly decrease.
At this time, the python longbowmen also followed up. These guys appeared on the frontal battlefield for the first time. Three hundred meters away, these longbowmen began to draw their bows and arrows.
But this time, they didn't project it, but chose to shoot it directly.
A hail of arrows flew towards them. Fortunately, the shields used in front of the human phalanx were covered with a layer of iron, which provided the greatest protection for the phalanx.
But even so, many shields were still penetrated, causing very serious damage to the spearmen in the phalanx behind.
The density of human firepower dropped rapidly, and by this time the hippos and rhino men had already rushed forward.
Those spears that were densely packed like hedgehogs were nothing to them.
The spears of the infantry phalanx are basically about three and a half meters long, and the long knives in their hands are also three meters long, so in terms of weapons, they are not inferior.
Secondly, their strength is much greater than that of humans. With one strike of the sword, even though it was an iron sword, it also cut off several human spearheads.
At the same time, the hippos are even more fierce. When fighting in close combat, they basically don't use knives. Most of them use maces.
The two-meter-long stick was covered with barbs, and it was even more impressive when turned around. The human infantry phalanx was finally a little overwhelmed by the triple blow of the hippopotamus, rhinoceros, and python longbowmen.
Living.
Seeing that those phalanxes were gradually beginning to collapse, Xiao Feng couldn't help but sigh in his heart, these orcs were really difficult to deal with.
Different ethnic groups give these half-orcs different beast characteristics, and also give them different combat modes and advantages. Once these combat advantages are combined, these half-orcs will become very difficult to deal with.
The human army in front of him is already very good. It can be considered elite in terms of combat skills, courage, willpower, and tenacity.
Even in the cold weapon age of the modern world, this army will be an invincible iron army.
But it was really difficult for them to face such a half-orc opponent.
Seeing that the number of casualties in the human army began to increase rapidly, and the large phalanxes were struggling to support themselves, Xiao Feng turned around and gave Kyle an order.
Kyle immediately handed over the messenger to explain, and soon drums and whistles sounded in the human camp.
The human infantry phalanx in front perked up when they heard the sound of drums coming from behind. Under the leadership of low-ranking officers, they began to reorganize their formation and slowly retreat backwards.
At this time, the orcs discovered that the human army had finally begun to retreat, and their morale was immediately boosted.
This is the hardest battle they have ever fought with the most casualties since they started fighting humans. Now that the human army has finally begun to retreat, it is very likely that it will collapse next.
Many experienced orc generals thought so, but when they saw the human army's quick and orderly retreat without panic, it made them feel a little embarrassed.
The collapse scene they expected did not happen!
Then continue to put pressure on them. The hippopotamus and rhinoceros people at the front are biting the tail of the human infantry phalanx, but unfortunately after they have adopted heavy armor, their speed is indeed a bit slow. In order to ensure their physical strength, they cannot
Rush forward quickly.
At this time, the task of catching the human infantry was left to the flexible man-horse archers, werewolf cavalry, and fast kobolds.
These light cavalry followed the human infantry phalanx and took turns attacking the human phalanx. However, after several trials, they suffered a lot of casualties, but they did not have a very good effect.
They found that these infantry phalanxes were not too chaotic when they retreated, but were very orderly.
Seeing the battlefield being stretched and widened, and a steady stream of orcs pouring into the battlefield behind the barbed wire isolation zone, Xiao Feng said to Kyle: "It's time!"
At this time, Kyle turned around and waved his hand downward vigorously. The human soldiers on the distant city wall behind them and in front of the city wall received this signal.
A series of short whistles were blown immediately, and at this time, on the city wall of Napal Mountain, and in front of the rows of large catapults in front of the city wall, several strong men smashed the triggers with wheeled hammers.
.
The counterweight dropped quickly, and the trebuchet's net pocket was quickly lifted up with the swing arm. The oil tanks with leads inserted into the net pockets flew into the air one by one...
Even though it was broad daylight, the high priest Zhuo Tuo who was on the watchtower in the orc camp in the distance, meeting with the fox military advisor, could still clearly see the fire-like missiles flying out from the walls of the Napal Mountain City.
'meteor'...
After these meteors crossed the sky, they quickly and hard hit the orc army that was constantly breaking through the barbed wire isolation zone.
Those orcs who had just gotten through the barbed wire fence were originally lining up one by one, spreading out in formation, and pushing towards the Napal Mountain City!
Who would have thought that the meteor shower coming from the sky would become their ultimate nightmare!
When those 'pops' fell to the ground, sparks immediately flew out. The soldiers around them quickly turned into human-shaped torches if they caught a little spark.
