662 The Soldiers Come Under the City
The Lower City of Forest is a big city outside the orcs' secret forest, and it is also the first city bordering the Secret Forest and the Napal Prairie.
This place originally belonged to the territory of the ape man Ao Guang, but now a large number of orcs who escaped from the grassland have flooded in.
All orcs gathered here, including the stigma, the pig-headed man, the dog-headed man, werewolf, the centaur, the leopard head, etc., which were originally considered to be the city's forest city, were squeezed into a lot by these uninvited guests who suddenly poured in.
If Ao Guang had never wanted these people to come in the past, the better. The more orcs came, he would be able to collect more taxes and have more income.
But now, he was not happy at all when facing the orcs that filled the city.
First of all, these refugees who escaped were all refugees who had nothing to say. Not only did they eat and drink what they drank every day, but what made him even more worried was that these people also brought bad news.
The God of Death in the Bingliu City actually led the human army to fight!
This...it's simply...
Ao Guang really didn't know how to describe his mood at this time. Just a year ago, when the human army encountered orcs on the battlefield, they would only escape by looking at the wind.
But now, these damn humans, led by the god of death in the city of the dying city, dare not go out of the city to fight the orcs in the field, but now they dare to attack the orcs' nest.
This...is there any reason for this?
Although he couldn't accept it psychologically, Ao Guang still made the most correct choice. On the one hand, he sent someone back to the forest to notify the great elders of the alliance, and the god of death in the water came over.
On the other hand, all the people in the city were armed and ready to welcome the arrival of the god of death in the city of Runliu and the human army.
Those ordinary orcs can run, but Ao Guang, as the orc general, cannot run.
Besides, what if I run away, what should I do in the forest? This is his old nest!
Even the old nest was lost. Not to mention the embarrassment, the king Kari Khan would kill him.
So he had no choice but to resist to the end.
Linxia City is backed by the secret forest, facing the Napal Prairie, and it is flat around it. It can be said that there is no danger to defend. Fortunately, Ao Guang followed the alliance army to conquer the human kingdom over there and made many contributions.
Therefore, his superiors rewarded him with many human slaves, and he drove these human slaves to open up wasteland and farm, and strengthened the city defense.
However, he strengthened the city defenses at the beginning, not to prevent the enemy's invasion, because at that time, he never thought that anyone would dare to invade the orc territory.
The reason why he made the city wall tall and large was purely to show off and show the temperament and wealth of his city. After all, this is the first city where the orcs extend from the secret forest to the grassland.
Whether it is entering and leaving the forest or grassland, he has to pass through his city, so he has collected a lot of money to pass by. Because he has money, what's wrong with making his family more grand?
But he didn't expect that an unintentional show-off would become his life-saving straw.
He was old and was disabled on the battlefield in his early years, so he did not participate in these battles to fight against Benliucheng.
But he had heard those who came back talk about the god of death in the liu city and the power of the human army there.
Although he felt that the man was boasting about his words and bragging, he also felt that the Death God of Bingliu City must have some real skills.
So he didn't dare to be careless. There were more than 50,000 apes and nearly 100,000 human slaves in this city.
Now there are almost 200,000 orcs coming in. Ao Guang ordered his men to arm all those who can fight among them.
As an important transportation hub city, the Orc Alliance has stored food and weapons a lot in this city.
So they lacked nothing, and soon Ao Guang organized an army of 100,000 people. Although the quality is of varying quality, at least the number of people still made him feel a little confident.
Just the day after he was ready, the legendary human army finally rushed to the city of Linxia City!
Ao Guang climbed up the city wall more than ten meters high early, and looked at it with a monocular telescope seized from the human empire.
At this time, the army was slowly driving towards Linxiacheng from a distance, with hundreds of horses exploring in front of them, and they kept sweeping across the battlefield in a fan shape.
Some orcs who had no time to hide in the city were driven down from the haystacks outside the city and from the branches of the tree by these explorers.
These orcs jumped out of the haystack and tree branches, and then began to run towards the city wall. The humans followed them slowly, and the laughter and insulting sounds of humans from far away.
Their attitude was very casually placed behind the orcs, and they were about to rush into the cover range of the orcs' bows and arrows on the city wall.
The humans' horses were exploring their horses to speed up and rushed behind the orcs, either taking out crossbows, bows and arrows, or even pulling out cavalry swords.
I watched the melons and vegetables cut all the way, and put down hundreds of orcs not far from the city wall. The screams of the orcs before their death lingered in the ears of the city wall guards and did not dissipate for a long time.
As an old corpse, Ao Guang on the city wall saw the speed of the humans exploring their horses, and he had never spoken for a long time.
It was a young ape man next to him, and he was furious and eager to try. Finally, he saw a human cavalry piercing an ape man with one shot and then picking it into the air. The young man couldn't hold it in.
"Wow!"
The young ape screamed strangely and was about to jump off the city wall to fight to the death with those human soldiers. But the moment he drew his sword, Ao Guang held it down.
"Zhijie, don't go."
"Why? Dad."
"Why!"
Ao Guang sighed: "This is no longer the human soldiers I have told you before."
The old ape man Ao Guang fought for many years, so he naturally knew what the soldiers of the human imperial army looked like in the past.
He remembered very clearly that the army of the human empire, only the guards around the lords, and the king's personal guards were elite. The young nobles all rode high-headed horses and were wearing armor, and they were also considered to be able to fight.
But even those young people did not have the momentum of these humans exploring horses under the city walls.
These humans all rode tall horses, and their horses were immediately equipped with a saddle that was easier to control.
In this way, when the war horses are speeding, even if they don’t use their hands to control the horse, they can control the horse with their legs alone, and the freed hands can better control the weapons.
And the powerful bows and crossbows they used were all those that Ao Guang had never seen before, but he was sure that the power was not smaller than that he had seen before.
Moreover, these negotiations seem to be light cavalry, but in fact they are all wearing leather armor, and iron pieces are inlaid on the leather armor to protect the vital parts, and even iron helmets are left on their heads.
Moreover, there were short spears, hand axes, cavalry knives in their saddle bags on their horses, and some even had their guns. This was just a convoy, but they had already reached their teeth. Is there any need to say the army behind?
In short, this army is completely different from the human army he has seen before.
What's even more terrifying is the decisive temperament they showed on the battlefield and the skillful means of dealing with those orcs.
This was simply unimaginable in the past. Ao Guang remembered a few years ago when he accompanied the orc army to conquer the human empire.
At that time, after several major battles, they were destroyed by their spirits. They were like the human army that had no souls and had no souls to fight. They were not afraid at all.
At that time, even if the orcs did not need real soldiers to go into battle, they would even have some flat-headed people, carrying hoes to face the human army, and those human army would scatter.
The human army in front of us can be said to be completely different. They are a team with recast military souls, and an army with souls and faith is the most difficult to deal with.
So although his youngest son Zhijie was indignant and actively asked for a fight, Ao Guang never agreed to his idea of leaving the city to fight.
At this time, a sound of gongs and drums came from the human army outside the city. Ao Guang hurriedly returned to the city wall again, picked up his telescope and looked into the distance.
I saw rows of cavalrymen running in parallel with four horses, behind the battlefield covered by the probing horses, which should be the light cavalrymen mentioned by humans.
Their equipment was similar to those prodding horses, and behind their phalanx were rows of heavy cavalrymen with swords and guns, and their armor was so shaking that they couldn't open their eyes.
Although these heavy cavalry did not charge, when their war horses began to line up and enter the battlefield in an orderly manner, the dull sound of horse hooves immediately made the orcs on the city wall feel solemn.
Then a pair of cavalry entered the battlefield, but after these people entered the battlefield, they immediately dismounted and took off their equipment from the horse, and then someone led all their war horses behind.
Ao Guang understood that this should be a heavy armored infantry...
A pair of human army phalanxes began to form under the city wall. Although they did not directly attack the city, the momentum brought by such an army made Ao Guang on the city wall and his orcs under him breathlessly.
Are these humans crazy? When they rushed to the city wall, did they not know how to rest and attack the city directly?
Looking at the square formations below the city wall, Ao Guang was silent. Soon he saw that there were thousands of orcs in the passage between the square formations of humans, tied with chains and driven out from behind.
These orcs were all old, weak, women and children, and every ten were tied to a rope and came to the front of the formation.
The human soldiers gave each of them a grass cake and stuffed a mud bag in their hands.
The meaning is very clear, and these orcs were sent to fill the moat!
Seeing this, Zhijie, the youngest son beside Ao Guang, even roared to the sky: "I'm so angry!"
