543 Waterway Counterattack
Originally, I just wanted to cause maximum damage to the orcs, but I didn't expect that the final effect would be so good, and the orcs would blow up the camp.
This made Xiao Feng very happy. In the era of cold weapons, once the Chinese army was defeated, it would be equivalent to a huge defeat.
And once there is no effective command, the number of soldiers who die from being trampled on each other or accidentally while retreating and fleeing will be far greater than the damage caused by the enemy.
The human commander on the distant city wall obviously also discovered the collapse of the orc camp, and waves of drums and trumpets immediately sounded on the city wall.
After a while, Xiao Feng saw several large ships of the Yingzhou people, going upstream along the Benliu River, rushing towards the orc camp.
These ships of the Yingzhou people are different from the sail-powered ships of the past. They do not have tall masts and are all driven by propellers at the back. Although they are going upstream, their speed is not slow at all.
Xiao Feng had gone back and forth to other worlds several times before, and he became more and more aware of the role of the Yingzhou people's navy, so he bought marine engines many times before.
A total of hundreds of marine engines and diesel engines were purchased, and a grease derived from the hybridization of soybeans in this world can be directly used as power oil.
Therefore, the Yingzhou people used this kind of diesel engine to modify many ships.
This time the orcs besieged Riverrun. The city gate to the north of Riverrun was almost completely blocked from the inside, but they still retained the means of mobile counterattack.
This means is the Yingzhou navy stationed in the running river on the west side of the mountain city!
At this time, the commander on the city wall saw that Xiao Feng, flying a helicopter, had completely destroyed the orc camp. It would be stupid if he didn't know how to go out of the city and beat up the drowned dog.
Because of the need for domestic water, the camp of the orcs was naturally built along the water, right next to the rushing river.
So the Yingzhou warship stopped not far from the Orc camp, and then long oak planks stretched out from the ship and were laid on the ground, forming a series of proposed bridges.
Groups of cavalry roared down on these planks on war horses and rushed directly into the orc camp.
Although the front part of the orc camp has been messed up by Xiao Feng, and many orcs have fled backwards, after all, in such a large camp, there must be many fish that slipped through the net and are still hiding in the camp.
And these guys became the results of the cavalry's battle. Those who dared to resist were killed on the spot, and those who knelt down and surrendered were captured directly.
In addition, they could take as much food, grass, baggage, etc. as they could, and simply burn what they couldn't take away.
Soon the orc camp was full of smoke and smoke. Even if the orcs came back in the future, the camp would need to be renovated.
At this time, Xiao Feng was like a shepherd in the air, relying on rockets to drive the orcs on the ground, watching these orcs running northward.
When they gathered into a huge crowd, he fired rockets at the densest part of the crowd to create panic and chaos.
When the orcs were frightened, they ran around to avoid the death scythe above their heads. Naturally, they would trample to death and injure many of their own people. After many casualties, the formation dispersed, and he stopped.
But the inertia of animal instinct will make these half-orcs who are not very bright-minded always like to follow the leader, so they will gather together again as they run.
At this time, Xiao Feng would launch rockets at the densest crowds, creating panic and chaos.
It went on like this over and over again, fighting and stopping all the way, until the orcs rushed into the camp behind them, and Xiao Feng stopped chasing.
It wasn't that he really didn't want to continue the pursuit, but because the plane had run out of fuel and ammunition, and he really couldn't pursue it anymore.
There was another Black Shark in his space, and Xiao Feng also thought about taking that one out to continue to put pressure on the orcs.
But after taking a look at Camp No. 2 from the air, he gave up this plan.
The location of this camp is a bit strange. It was built against the mountain. It was built on the hillside, at the foot of the mountain and next to the running river. There is a small flat campground.
The goal here is very clear, they all live in tents, while most of the other orcs live in wooden houses built on the hillsides and under the woods, and some simply dig holes in the ground and live in burrows.
It should be a camp built by burrowing animals.
Xiao Feng thought of the mole orcs and mountain beetle orcs he had seen before. Such a camp would be difficult.
The helicopter wouldn't do too much damage to them. It was a waste of shells. In addition, he had been flying for more than six hours at this time and was already tired. He simply pulled the joystick and returned to Riverrun first.
The Orc camp closest to Riverrun has been defeated, and the most direct threat to Riverrun has been eliminated. Today's battle can be considered a complete victory.
The human cavalry who came along the running river to pick peaches also achieved very fruitful results in the orc camp in front of them.
They robbed countless amounts of various weapons and armor materials, and the most important thing was that they also captured Xiao Shiwan's prisoners. At this time, they were escorting these orc prisoners onto the ship.
Xiao Feng hovered above them for a while, covering them to board the ship. Fortunately, at this time, many more ships came from the direction of Riverrun.
These ships are transport ships. They have no engines and are driven by sails and oars. They are perfect for transporting these orc captives.
The Orc Camp No. 2 in the distance naturally saw such a scene, but they did not dare to send anyone to rescue them. They could only watch helplessly from a distance.
The big aerial shark hovering over the heads of the human cavalry and fleet was so terrifying. It was simply their nightmare. A camp of tens of thousands of people was destroyed by such an artifact. Half-orcs were very interested in this artifact.
It's very scary.
If this big shark in the sky doesn't retreat for a day, they won't dare to take a step forward. What's more, they were frightened by this magical weapon just now?
Finally, the last group of cavalry boarded the warship and went back down the river to Riverrun. Xiao Feng then flew the helicopter back to Riverrun.
As soon as they descended from the sky, Bilodis and Keira rushed up. Today's battle was directed by the two of them. If Xiao Feng hadn't returned to help in the end, they would have been really unsure.
Now that they see that their god has finally returned, the tight strings in their hearts have finally relaxed.
Xiao Feng simply comforted the two of them, and had no time to be affectionate with them. Then he immediately asked them to call all the current military commanders in Runliu City for a meeting.
When Kyle, Bloom and others were training the army, they also promoted many officers from those who first followed Xiao Feng.
These officers are currently Xiao Feng's loyal loyalties and are the key to his control of the army.
"How many more of our Dahuang ballista trucks do we have?"
After watching the attack mode of the Orcs' airborne troops today, when Xiao Feng returned to the city, he suddenly thought of a loophole in the city's defense.
What if those golden eagles and vultures transport part of the orc airborne troops, bypass the city wall, and send these airborne troops to land behind the city wall?
A large number of orcs rushed directly into the city behind, killing and causing chaos. At the same time, they separated a group of people and launched an attack from behind the city wall.
At the same time, the orcs in front of the city wall also launched an attack. How should the defenders on the city wall respond?
In fact, Xiao Feng had thought about this problem before, but he forgot about it because of his busy work schedule when he came back. At that time, Charles Mann had given some advice.
It's very simple. Along the direction of the city wall, build a circle of walls inside the city wall to form a castle.
In this way, even if the enemy attacks from behind, they cannot easily break through the city defenses. As for the residents of the city behind, they will naturally be abandoned.
Anyway, as long as the city wall is still in human hands and the orcs are not allowed to attack, it will be considered a victory.
At that time, Xiao Feng also agreed with Charles Mann's idea, but later, because the battle line moved forward and captured the Calabash Gap, there was no threat to Riverrun. Coupled with the lack of manpower, the plan to build a castle along the southern end of the city wall also failed.
Implementation has been delayed.
Today, after seeing the orcs' airborne combat mode, Xiao Feng suddenly remembered this loophole in the city's defense.
"Master Qi Mage, we currently have one hundred and fifty Rhubarb ballista carts on the city wall, and there are another two hundred in the warehouse that can be replaced."
Dean, who has now become the director of logistics weapons, stepped forward to answer Xiao Feng's question.
On the front wall of more than 100 meters, one hundred and fifty Rhubarb ballista carts were arranged. The firepower density was quite good, and Xiao Feng was very satisfied.
He nodded towards Dean: "Very good, pull out those ballista carts and arrange them behind the city wall. Dean, you will have to work hard recently. Organize manpower to build more high-rise watchtowers to prevent those golden eagles from coming and going.
The Vultures will airborne from behind the city wall, and additional manpower will be organized to monitor the air 24 hours a day. Once any Golden Eagles are found to be airborne, an alarm will be issued immediately..."
Everyone present was not an idiot. After hearing what Xiao Feng said, they immediately understood the loopholes in the city's defense.
Dean immediately organized his manpower to follow Xiao Feng's instructions. At the same time, he also ordered his dwarves to work overtime in the workshop to build as many large yellow ballista carts as possible.
Currently this is their only weapon suitable for air defense!
Fortunately, they captured more than 10,000 orc prisoners this time. These guys will provide a steady stream of labor for their workshops.
After the city defenses were deployed, Berodis and Keira finally had a chance to talk.
"Sir, how is the situation over there in Calabash Gorge? Do you have any plans to retreat from the enemy now?"
Chapter completed!
