735 Clamp Offensive
The battle not only took place under the city walls, but also fierce battles on the river surface west of the Bingliu City.
Countless huge black shadows were lurking quietly under the water, approaching like a city wall to the west of the city.
But as soon as he was about to lurk under the city wall, several black shadows were suddenly strangled, causing the movement to be unsmooth. Finally, he had to reveal the water and began to breathe heavily.
At this time, there was a bell on the river surface. On the west wall where no one was originally present, many human soldiers' helmets appeared in a short while. The lookout whistle quickly reported the situation on the river surface.
Huge crocodile people, water snake people, and hippo people emerged from under the water and soon rushed straight to the pier outside the Xicheng Gate.
Because of the need to use water transportation, the supervisors of Benliucheng built a small port outside the west gate, with a wharf, many warehouses, and stocking-up sites.
This is one of the few small squares outside the West Gate. Once it is occupied, the orcs can develop their formation and attack the city wall from the west.
The humans on the city wall soon discovered the intentions of these orcs, and immediately mobilized a large number of archers to shoot at the orcs under the city wall.
But the orcs who were responsible for sneak attacking Ximen this time were all rough-skinned and thick-skinned.
The crocodile man with a thick layer of leather armor and the hippo man were dressed in heavy metal armor and were not afraid of the bows and arrows above his head.
The flexible jungle anaconda began to scrutinize the humans on the city wall as soon as they got ashore.
The battle entered a white-hot stage from the beginning, with the crocodile and hippo people charging ashore and quickly rushing to several houses beside the dock.
They need to clean up the place to prevent human soldiers from hiding here, and only after eliminating the remaining enemies can the subsequent large troops arrive one after another.
At that time, this pier will be their new departure base, and they will be able to attack the city from both the west and the north.
There is no way, who made this damn city so well? The orcs have hundreds of thousands of troops, but they cannot spread on the battlefield.
You have an absolute advantage in military strength, but you cannot invest at one time. However, you are worried about the orc. It is like you are clearly holding a hammer in your hand, but you are trying to hit the target but you are not slid and you will not give you a chance to attack.
You have only one strength, but you have no place to use it!
Fortunately, they also found that the west side of the Benliu City could also be used, so they planned to launch an attack from this direction, so they formulated this clamp offensive combat plan to fight as many human soldiers as possible.
Soon the orcs cleared and occupied the dock. Teams of crocodile and hippo people climbed up the shore from the water and began to explore a stable landing ground.
After a while, there were several boats behind them, and they sent a large number of taurens and pig-headed soldiers to them, filling the landing ground.
But at this moment, the orc who suddenly drove over the ship screamed loudly, and someone pointed at the river with horror.
The landing crocodile and hippo people were in horror and saw a fleet of ships rushing towards the south from the river.
Soon the fleet rushed to the front of the Orc fleet, and began to fire crossbows and oil bombs at the Orc warship. In a moment, the Orc fleet was lit into large torches, becoming moving coffins floating on the river.
In fact, the orcs themselves are not good at building ships. These ships are built by human slaves they captured, and even those who transport them ships are those human slaves.
These human slaves had no desire to resist when facing the human navy rushing over.
Seeing the crossbows and oil bombs fired by the other party, these guys immediately jumped into the water, leaving only the stupid orcs on the boat, who accompanied the ships and became burials.
The orc warships on the river surface soon became burning coffins. At this time, these human warships turned their guns again and bombarded the orcs on the shore.
The fist-sized stone bullets seemed not big, but were fired out by the giant slingshot they operated. The trajectory was very straight. Even if the tauren wearing heavy armor was hit by a shot, it would be a despair on the spot.
If you hit the chest, it would be a hole as big as a washbasin. If you hit the head, it would be a headshot on the spot.
Even if it is a hippopotamus with thick skin, it will be half-dead and lose its combat effectiveness as soon as it hits.
Not to mention the crocodile people, their backs are thick and thick, but their chest and abdomen are indeed the weakest. Faced with such stone bullets, their first choice is to lie on the ground and pretend to be dead.
The Jungle Jueba, whose waist was as thick as a bucket, was furious at this time, and operated the giant longbow in his hand and began to shoot against these human warships.
But these human warships are not vegetarian anymore. The ships are also equipped with the kind of big yellow crossbow. The giant crossbow arrows fired are not weaker than those of the python longbowman, and they are even more accurate.
Soon these python longbowmen were suppressed by the yellow crossbow on the warship. What's even more terrifying is that the catapults on the ship kept throwing turbulent bombs on their heads.
At the same time, the humans on the city wall also operated the catapult cart and threw sulli-iron bombs over their heads.
The two-pronged attacks on both sides made these orcs suffer all the hardships.
Finally, some crocodile people began to get stuck and were ready to go into the water.
But those human warships were also guarding against them. They threw a large number of fishing nets hanging with stone pendants near the dock. As long as these crocodile people were entangled by these fishing nets, even if they were exquisite in water, they would still be entangled to death.
Because many places in these fishing nets are equipped with wire barbs, once you are wrapped, the more you struggle, the tighter you will be.
Even if the crocodile people have good water properties, they will show their heads to the water to breathe, not to mention that they are all covered with heavy armor.
After struggling for a few times, you will be exhausted and you will eventually become fish food at the bottom of the river.
In less than half an hour, the orcs that landed were wiped out.
The combat plan of the orcs attacked on both sides failed, so they could only increase their investment in the direction of the North Gate, and the confrontation on the front battlefield gradually became increasingly fierce.
The fierce battle continued in the afternoon until the evening, and the orcs' square formation changed one after another.
Under the suppression of the air firepower above their heads, they also achieved certain results.
The giant stone wall, even the elephant man, should not easily penetrate it, so the result they achieved is the effective killing of human soldiers on the wall.
The war has become a war of attrition, which both sides know very well.
In front of the wall of sighs that was as high as fifty meters, all the strength, speed and body shape advantages of the orcs disappeared. The only thing they could rely on was to fight for consumption with humans.
If it were in the past, they would disdain to wear armor when facing human soldiers. However, after many improvements to human weapons, even if they are rough and thick, they will still be burping without wearing armor and hitting them a few times.
Therefore, they all chose to wear armor to fight for consumption with humans. They already have high defense talents and wear armor, which offsets the advantage of human beings' advantage in geographical advantages.
In addition, the orcs use long-range strikes and a trinity-in-one combat model that cooperates with the air-ground coordination, which is quite comparable to humans.
The ratio of war losses between the two sides was probably maintained at about one to one, which was a great improvement for the human defenders, but they were not happy.
Because if this continues, the human soldiers will definitely be consumed first.
The sky was already dimming, but the orcs' offensive did not mean to stop. Instead, they continued to organize the siege overnight with the advantage of night vision.
The purpose is to stay awake and waste the humans on the city walls to death.
And within the orc camp, the leaders of various tribes participating in the war were having a meeting.
"Our battle results are very good today. The information sent by the sentry detectives I sent out showed that we shot at least 300 human soldiers today. More than 500 were injured, but our bows and arrows were all covered with poison, so these people can also be considered to have been shot!"
Sitting at the very end of the tent was a guy wearing a cloak. Although there were many torches in the big tent, the guy's head was hidden in his hood, but it was still difficult to see clearly.
There were two guys dressed like him sitting around him, the three of whom were the priests and bishops who came to the upper level of the Orcs to rule the Pope Hall.
The one sitting on the first person to speak is Diosito, one of the twelve blue-clothed archbishops in the Pope Hall. Sitting next to him is the high priest Zhuotu who had fought with Xiao Feng before in the Napal Mountain City, and the other is the high priest Ehrqi.
This time, the Pope Hall sent three high-level clergy as commanders, which shows the importance he attached to this war.
And the leaders of the orc tribe below were even more arrogant and did not dare to show off.
"But Lord Bishop, we have suffered heavy losses in Ximen today. The plan to attack on both sides seems to be not Sun Chang!"
"Hmph! It's not because you monkeys are not in good cooperation. If you can control the dragons to rush down to cooperate with us when we attack Ximen, we won't fail as badly."
A crocodile man sitting on the left hand spoke, and while speaking, he also stared at an ape man opposite him, obviously very dissatisfied with what happened on the battlefield today.
After he said this, the ape man opposite him was not happy.
"There are only thirty-five dragons in total. Seventeen were damaged in front of them, and there were still eighteen left. But among them, they were over-exhausted and needed healing, and there were thirteen who were ready for rotation. I could only leave five on the battlefield, and I also had to take into account the attack from the North Gate. How could I support you Ximen?"
The leader of the ape man, Atilik, was very unhappy with the questioning of the leader of the crocodile man, Seer Khan. Their ape man tribe has also suffered a lot in the past few days!
