I originally thought that this city could be defended for three to five days, but how could I have thought that it would fall in less than a day?

Fortunately, in the morning, he arranged for most of the troops to retreat first. Otherwise, if they were attacked by these orcs, the losses would be huge.

Although Kyle and the others were very effective in training the human army, they could not use the battle formations in street fighting in the city, and the orcs were each strong and strong, and had innate advantages in physical fitness and protection.

So if we engage in street fighting, humans will suffer a lot.

Fortunately, the number of human troops in the city is currently small, and Xiao Feng is in charge of the central army. Even if the orc army attacks, it will not cause too much panic.

The location and shape of Napal Mountain City are actually very similar to Riverrun. It was built on the remaining foothills of the mountains on the east side, but the direction is not south or north.

Instead, there are two main entrances to the northeast and southwest. The northeast side faces the Napar Prairie, and the southwest side faces the gourd neck entrance and is the mountain road.

Therefore, when Xiao Feng deployed his defenses before, he mainly focused on these two directions. He deployed 10,000 men near the city wall facing the northeast side.

There are five thousand on the city wall, five thousand in the cave under the city, and three thousand in reserve. Another five thousand guard the Xinnan city gate, which is their escape route and must be kept clear.

In addition, the city wall on the east side is close to the remaining mountains. I am not too worried about someone attacking from this direction, so I put a thousand people on guard, while the west side is next to a large river.

After occupying this mountain city, Xiao Feng once sent people to investigate the terrain here for smuggling, and happened to find that a nearby mountain range happened to be a watershed due to the direction of the terrain.

The mountain rivers heading to the southwest of the mountain all merge into the branch of the upstream source of the rushing river, while the mountain rivers heading to the north all merge into this stream along the left side of the Napal Mountain City.

North river.

This river, with its rapid flow, merged with other rivers flowing out of the mountain valleys into a large river, flowing into the Napal Prairie and becoming one of the most famous rivers in the Napal Prairie.

According to what we learned from the local natives, this big river is called Mulun River by them, which also means mother river.

Previously, because this river flowed fast and the water was turbulent, and considering that the orcs had no skills in shipbuilding and maneuvering, Xiao Feng did not pay much attention to the city defense here.

However, before the war started, a team of a thousand people was sent to guard the city wall here. After all, if the enemy in the northeast could not succeed, there would be nothing to worry about in the direction of the river.

But he never expected that the enemy would attack from this direction, and he could feel the vibration of the ground on the other side of the city wall. It looked like the city wall had been dug down.

Xiao Feng knew that the orcs must have come prepared this time, and the enemies in the northeast had also begun a desperate charge at this time. It was unwise to fight a war of attrition in the defense of the city at this time, so he ordered Kyle to quickly lead his troops to retreat.

And he took a thousand people to the west side of the city wall to support the rescue and try to bring back more soldiers.

Kyle also had a plan for retreat. The orcs in the distance had already rushed to the blockade of mines and fire oil tanks that they had laid out before.

Although some mines had been dug and exploded here by the Mole Men before, this was a mine blockade line hundreds of meters wide.

After the Mole Man had dug up several landmines before, they quickly changed their route and dug deeper into the ground. The mines and fire oil tanks behind them were not touched. The orcs who rushed over at this time were hit by these mines and fire oil tanks.

The tank explosion caused heavy casualties.

But it seemed that these orcs also had orders to die. Although mines continued to explode in front of them, and people were constantly burned by fierce oil tanks with human-shaped torches, they still charged forward without fear of death.

There were even a few orcs who were ignited into torches by the fire oil cans. They simply went to the ground, rolled forward, and started to protect the troops behind.

Kyle on the city wall shuddered when he saw this brute force. Speaking of being brave and not afraid of death, these orcs are really not the best.

Kyle immediately ordered the five thousand soldiers who were hiding in the soldier cave under the city wall to begin to retreat to the south city, but they had to ensure that the back road was clear, while the human defenders on the city wall began to set fire.

The fierce fire oil poured on the city wall and the ground in front of the city wall as if it was free, but they were not in a hurry to light it, and then the defenders on the city wall began to retreat.

At this time, Xiao Feng had already led a team of a thousand people to the west side of the city wall. As expected, the junction of the west side city wall and the city wall toward the northeast gate had been excavated.

At this time, the orcs who emerged from the ground were fighting fiercely with the human soldiers who rushed down from the city wall.

At this time, Xiao Feng could clearly see the appearance of the mole people. They were not tall, only a little taller than the dwarves on the human side.

Their limbs are very strong and strong, and the most terrifying thing is the two-foot-long large fangs that protrude from their mouths, which are still shining with cold light.

Wielding very delicate engineering shovels in their hands, small groups of combatants fought with human soldiers. Although these mole men were short in appearance, their combat effectiveness was not weak, and they were even very fierce.

Their battle group mode is very similar to the battle mode Xiao Feng handed over to the human soldiers. If it weren't for the length advantage of the spears in the hands of the human soldiers, the battle group of human soldiers might not be able to defeat these soldiers.

A strong and flexible mole man.

At the same time, there were more orcs coming out of the underground from far away. These guys were obviously following the mole people to expand the tunnel. The mole people were digging the tunnel in front, and they were widening it behind.

Following these mountain beetles, there was a steady stream of relatively thin and agile kobolds, and werewolves came out of the tunnel.

At this time, most of the human soldiers guarding the city wall on the west side had also climbed down the wall and were desperately trying to block the gap here.

Thanks to Xiao Feng and Kyle's repeated emphasis on the training of middle and lower-level officers, this army in the cold weapon era has maintained such a high cohesion. Otherwise, the general army would have seen such a scene long ago.

Already collapsed.

Under the command of those mid-level and lower-level officers, the human soldiers took squads as combat units and stood in the gap, fighting to the death with these orcs who were constantly coming out of the ground.

In addition, there were some human soldiers standing on the gap in the broken city wall, firing arrows at the orcs from top to bottom, which also caused a lot of damage to the orcs.

The hand-to-hand combat entered a fierce stage from the beginning, and although the human army was small in number, it was not at all inferior in a head-on fight with these orcs due to their skilled battle formation fighting coordination.

A combat group of three or five people, divided according to the principle of three by three, can be said to have an advantage when facing the unorganized and scattered Orc infantry in front.

In particular, the three-and-a-half-meter-long three-edged spear takes full advantage of long weapons. On such a battlefield, assassination is always more efficient than slashing.

Soon the battlefield was filled with half-orc blood gourds that had been stabbed to the ground by human soldiers.

The human army took full advantage and kept pushing forward, and soon pushed the orc skirmishers to the line of the city wall.

But at this moment, a group of orcs suddenly emerged from the water, and quickly rushed to the gap in the city wall on all fours, then rushed in and joined the orcs' skirmishing line.

These people are more than three meters tall, have triangular heads, short hands and short legs, and their bodies are like wooden stakes, but they are astonishingly powerful on the battlefield.

The hammers or long-handled axes in their hands were astonishingly powerful. Due to their physical advantages, it was difficult for human spears to gain an advantage against them.

The most terrifying thing is that their protection is originally covered with a layer of iron armor, and the animal skin inside is even thicker. In addition, their skin itself secretes a kind of mucus, making their skin very slimy.

Even if human spears break through their armor, they will slide away the moment they hit their skin, making it difficult to cause harm to them.

On the other hand, once these ferocious orcs rushed close to the human fighting group, they would attack and kill them. Soon, dozens of human soldiers would fall under their butcher knives.

At this time, Xiao Feng also saw the appearance of these guys clearly. They turned out to be crocodile men! Amphibious warriors among the orcs, they must have attacked from the waterway.

The mole men, rock beetles, werewolves, and kobolds who had been beaten back steadily by the human spearman combat team seemed to have found the backbone at this time, and they quickly adjusted their formations and followed them.

Behind these crocodile men, they rushed toward humans again.

It can be said that Xiao Feng's arrival at this time was just right. If he had arrived a moment later, the human front here would have definitely collapsed.

Although he led the team to withdraw on Friday, he had already trained several drivers before. At this time, he stood at the shooting position of JLTV, pulled the bolt of the M2, adjusted the muzzle to aim at these orcs, and pulled the trigger.

‘Dong dong dong’

The dull roar of the M2 Browning heavy machine gun soon resounded throughout the battlefield.

And those orcs who were extremely ferocious just a moment ago immediately turned into little sheep. The crocodile man, who was as thick as a wooden stake, was simply not enough in front of the full-power Browning 12.7 mm caliber heavy machine gun bullet.

If the arm is hit with a bullet, the thick arm will be blown away in an instant. If the torso is hit with a bullet, either a hole as big as a basin will appear, or it will be shot in two on the spot.

Scenes of blood and flesh immediately covered the entire battlefield. The silly crocodile man encountered the God of Death in Riverrun for the first time, and was immediately taught a harsh lesson, and it was the last lesson.
