Heroes of the Invincible Knight

Chapter 87: Walled offense and defense

"Kill! Give me some energy, don't be careless, and drive these **** down."

A Jingbei Army officer chopped down a kobold who was trying to climb over a wooden wall with a sword, and loudly reminded the surrounding Jingbei Army soldiers.

"Don't worry, boss, even if ten of these **** rush up, I can cut them down by myself."

"Bullshit, if you put ten kobolds in your section, I will screw your head off."

"Pfft!"

While talking, another kobold climbed up the wooden wall, and before he could cross the crenel, his head was cut off by a sword from the fast-eyed Jingbei army commander.

These kobolds are not strong, but they are more flexible. They can climb the wall without any tools, but it is difficult for them to do any substantial damage to the defenders when they climb the wooden wall. They can only play a harassing role. The real threat is still the ogre mixed in.

"Captain! There are ogres approaching our section!"

A soldier found an ogre among the kobolds trying to climb up the wooden wall and reported to the officer loudly, his tone no longer as relaxed as he had just faced the kobolds.

"Leimu is ready! Don't let him climb up!"

The captain of the Jingbei Army also instantly became nervous. Although he is also a quasi knight, if the ogre is allowed to climb up, he has no confidence that he can withstand it.

Two sturdy soldiers quickly carried a thick wooden battered with spikes on the surface.

"put!"

The two soldiers threw the wood from the top of the wall in response, and the next moment there was a roar of an ogre from under the wall, and the roar was interrupted with a muffled "bang".

The wood just hit the ogre's head, and the ogre's thick skin and flesh couldn't hold up the hundreds of kilograms of objects that fell from the sky, and when it landed, it lost its life.

Fortunately, Marquis Wade obeyed some of Lint's suggestions and arranged some arrangements in Helburg. A lot of materials such as wood and stone were prepared for the defense of the city, and the food was enough to support it for a period of time.

Now the Jingbei Army is guarding the hard fortress outside Helburg, which is all made of iron wood and built very solidly. Interrupted several waves of ogre attacks.

However, the situation seems to have changed a little today. When the soldiers cheered for the easy killing of an ogre,

The sharp-eyed soldiers found that more ogres were approaching. Today, it seems that it is not as simple as a tentative attack.

"Team, captain, look over there!"

Looking in the direction of the soldier's fingers, hundreds of heavily armored ogre squares, surrounded by a large number of kobolds, began to approach the wooden wall.

What was even more shocking was that more than a dozen ogres pushed a huge battering ram along with the squad.

"Fake, fake."

The captain was obviously also frightened by the ogre formation. In his impression, the ogres had no ability to build siege equipment at all.

What's up with this guy who is one size bigger than a normal battering ram?

"Ready to fight!"

Actually, there is no need for him to shout. The soldiers who have just relaxed a bit have already prepared their weapons. They are all veterans of the Jingbei Army, and their basic combat literacy is not bad.

"boom!"

The ogre pushed the battering ram and slammed into the wooden wall, causing the entire stockade to vibrate obviously.

After all, no matter how good a hard fortress is made of wood, it is still inferior to a castle built with hard stones.

If the battering ram is allowed to hit, it is estimated that this section will be directly opened in a short time.

The defenders on the city naturally understood this, but the embarrassment was that they were unable to cause effective damage to these ogres pushing the battering ram.

These heavily-armored ogres didn't get close to the wooden village, and it was very difficult to throw rams and other objects so accurately to cause damage to them. Bows and arrows were even more a joke in front of their heavily-armored counterparts.

"Why are you standing still, pouring kerosene?"

"But……"

"boom!"

There was another impact, and the wooden wall shook more violently than before.

"But what, go!"

The one who shouted was a Dutong. When he found that the wooden wall was dangerous, he had already brought people over to support him.

The defending side usually prepares some kerosene, but this stockade is also made of wood. Although it has been treated for fire prevention, it is easy to set yourself on fire with kerosene here.

However, in times of crisis like this, we can't take care of that much, so let's pass this level first.

"fall!"

"Wow wow..."

Most of the kerosene poured directly onto the battering ram. Throwing down a bit of the torch, the entire battering ram ignited like a torch.

The surrounding ogres were also shocked by the flames.

In the end, the fire didn't set the wooden village on fire, and the ogre who lost the battering ram began to gradually recede, finally surviving the disaster.

At this time, Marquis Wade and several senior officers of the Jingbei Army were standing on the tower of Helburg to observe the entire battle. Seeing that the ogres were finally repelled, Marquis Wade turned back and ordered

"Let all the military strongholds on the outskirts be withdrawn."

"However, Lord Marquis, without the outer stockade, Herburg would be completely isolated."

"If you can't hold it, it's better to withdraw the army first to preserve the strength."

"According to the reservation plan, withdraw now."

"Yes, Lord Marquis."

Marquis Wade didn't want to give up the outer fortresses either, but after the ogres built the siege equipment, those outer fortresses were obviously unable to carry them, so it would be better to withdraw a full force earlier and defend Helborough for help.

……

"Withdraw, withdraw, move faster!"

A Jingbei Army officer was shouting at the city gate, directing the Jingbei Army to return to Helborough,

"close the door!"

As the last soldier passed through the city gate, the head of the flag regiment stationed in the camp outside the city also turned his head and rushed back to the city gate.

"boom!"

Just after he entered the city gate, the heavy iron gate closed heavily.

A group of kobolds who were chasing after stood under the city and were shot and killed, and finally gradually retreated.

Although the kobold suffered heavy casualties, the ogre's strategic goal was still achieved. After more than ten days of siege, the ogre army finally captured all the camps outside Helburg.

Herborg is completely isolated.

At this time, Marquis Wade was standing on the wall of Helborough watching all this, with no expression on his face,

However, anyone with military common sense can realize that the real crisis in Helborough is about to come.

Originally, the fortress of the Jingbei Army on the outskirts of Helburg was fairly strong, but the ogres were only besieging them for two days, and they drove the kobolds to use their lives to make a tentative attack.

It did not pose any substantial threat to these stockades. Although the Jingbei Army was newly defeated, it was a well-trained elite army after all. The enemy army was a monster like the ogre kobold.

The Jingbei Army, which was defending the stronghold, was still able to calmly repel the weak creatures like kobolds.

But within a few days of the good days, the ogre, who had never been able to siege the city, actually carried out siege equipment of fairly qualified quality. These things could not deal with the strong Helborough, but they could easily deal with the wooden village outside the city. .

……

Ogre Camp,

Grugesh is sitting in a huge golden-trimmed tent. The decorations in the tent are getting more and more exquisite, from the carpet to the ornaments, they are very particular.

If it weren't for the ferocious-looking ogres in the tent, just looking at the decorations, I'd probably think it was the banquet hall of some noble.

"Lord Grugesh, the humans abandoned the outer camps and returned to the castle."

"Um"

Grugesh responded at the same time. After the sounds overlapped, a simple "um" sounded very scary, but fortunately, none of the people sitting were not scary.

"Encircle it first, don't let anyone out of the city, and wait a few days to make some siege equipment."

"Yes"

"How many of the surrounding human castles have been removed now?"

"Master Gru, our four major tribes are still here surrounding Helburg, and we can only rely on those small tribes to fight. Those human castles are quite strong, and not many are broken now."

This time, it was only Gru who asked the question, and it was difficult for these ogre chiefs to tell them apart.

The four major tribes are now regarded as the basic game of Grugesh, plus some small and medium tribes absorbed this time with the power of victory,

Now that Grugesh can command at will, the power is probably nearly 20,000 ogre warriors, nearly 100 ogre warriors, and the four major ogre chiefs~www.wuxiahere.com~ There are also a large number of small and medium-sized tribes scattered outside, there is no direct Accept the order of Grugesh, but heed the call to invade the Northland.

With the mentality of waste utilization, Grugesh asked them to attack the castles of the human lords, attack the territories of each family, cut off roads and connections, and try to prevent the lords from uniting.

"Wait a while and give them some siege equipment."

"Also, let your subordinates catch human craftsmen and take good care of them, as long as they are willing to build weapons and equipment for us,

There must be enough food and drink, and those who have family members must ensure the safety of their families, and they must not kill indiscriminately. "

"Yes, Lord Gersh."

"Is there anything else?"

"Master Gru, it seems that several tribes in the northeast have been wiped out by humans."

"what happened?"

"There should be a human lord united."

An ogre chief did not know where to get incomplete information. After all, it was too far away, and the ones that were destroyed were not direct tribes.

These information are quite vague, and there is only an outline. I only know that there are probably some human lords who have formed a coalition and destroyed a few small tribes that they can't even name themselves. Even the true strength of the coalition is not clear.

Grugesh tapped the table in front of him,

"This sign must be extinguished. A thousand-person team will be sent over, and a few small tribes will be recruited, and they must be eliminated."

"Yes, sir."

Although the information is unknown, Grugesh's response was quite decisive. Richard, who was far away in Banderland, didn't know that he was actually targeted by the big ogre leader...
