My Strength Does Not Allow Me to Low-key

The defeat all the way from Napal Mountain City to Qukai City had almost collapsed this battle-hardened general.

In the past few years, he had fought too many battles with his master, but this time he was beaten like this by the orcs when the master was away. To be honest, it really made him very sad.

If it wasn't for the city of Riverrun in the end, their morale would have already collapsed by this time.

But after more than ten days of tug-of-war, he has gradually calmed down. It is worthy of the miracle left by the master. With such an anti-aircraft tower, those giant dragons have nothing to fear.

Even looking at the orc army in front of the city wall, he felt that there was nothing to be afraid of.

Even if the orcs didn't try their best this time, at least they sent most of the elite.

In the dark camp in the distance, at least hundreds of thousands of troops lived. If it weren't for the unique terrain of Riverrun City, it was really not suitable for launching an attack formation, and the orcs might all rush forward.

Thinking of this, Kyle couldn't help sighing and thanking in his heart. The master's good vision in choosing the site back then was because Riverrun City was built here, so that the strength of the orcs could not be reflected.

And after being smashed under the city wall for the past few days, the orcs also came up with a way to best reflect their superiority in strength.

That is the uninterrupted pig attack, wave after wave of phalanxes composed of 500 people, uninterruptedly hitting the city wall, and the ultimate goal is to cause a large number of human soldiers to be killed and exhausted. Wait until the final word.

Therefore, the attacks of the orcs have hardly stopped since yesterday.

Kill from morning to night, and then kill from night to morning.

In a phalanx of 500 people, at the front is always the rough-skinned elephant man. These guys are five or six meters tall and have a waist of more than two meters. If they usually appear on the battlefield, they will definitely be the decisive force.

But this time, they were given a hard job, that is to go to the bottom of the city wall to smash the wall.

No way, the fifty-meter-high city wall really made the half-orcs desperate.

They might still be able to deal with a ten-meter-high city wall, but with a fifty-meter-high city wall, no matter how tall the half-orc warriors were, they couldn't do anything about it.

Even snake people who are good at climbing,

And the ape-man soldiers are also helpless against the city wall.

Because the city walls of Riverrun City were designed very badly, and many places were designed with protrusions. Whenever they climbed the wall, the cold arrows shot from those protrusions made them hard to guard against.

Especially after the anti-aircraft towers were installed on these city walls, the defensive ability of the city walls was greatly increased.

In front of the city wall, more than two hundred meters away, the orcs pushed dozens of catapults. In fact, they didn't want to push so close.

After all, with the strength of the orcs, their catapults are usually five or six hundred meters away, and they can already cause damage to the defenders on the walls of ordinary humans.

But facing Riverrun City, that would not work. The walls of this fortified city are more than 50 meters high, and where there are anti-aircraft towers, they are more than 70 meters high.

If they were far away, the stone bullets fired by their catapults would not reach the top of the city wall at all.

So they could only push the catapult down 200 meters away from the city wall, and even raised the foundation of the catapult by more than ten meters in order to cause a lot of damage to the defenders on the city wall.

No way, who let those damn humans build the city wall so high!

Even so, only half of the stone bullets they fired each time could reach the top of the city wall. As for how much damage they could cause, they couldn't say for sure.

As for imagining how to deal with other human cities, relying on stone bullets to smash down the city walls, after ten days of trying, the half-orcs have given up on this idea.

The city wall of Riverrun City is simply a wall of despairing sighs!

According to the report brought back by the golden eagles they sent out after investigation, the thickness of the city wall is seven or eight meters, and it seems that the lower half of the city wall is made of countless giant stones, as for the upper part, it is one It was built with a strange building material.

How strong it is. . . hey-hey. . . The Elephant Man has been chiseling the wall below the city wall for several days, but he has not been able to penetrate even half a meter.

Of course, in order to capture this city wall, the orcs also thought of countless other ways.

For example, airborne, but this time the effect does not seem to be good.

These cunning humans built tall anti-aircraft towers on the city walls, and arranged those deadly rhubarb crossbows and fire-breathing cannons on the anti-aircraft towers.

Even if they used golden eagles to parachute soldiers onto the city wall, they still couldn't control the city wall at all. The human soldiers would line up in a neat formation and pin all the half-orcs who descended from the air to the top of the wall.

Because the city wall was too high, the half-orcs attacking the city below could not provide any effective support to the half-orcs who parachuted to the top of the city wall.

And airborne into the human city behind, attacking the city wall from behind the city wall, the effect is also not good.

Human cities have also become fortresses. There are ten large anti-aircraft towers, and countless small fortresses.

When the half-orcs parachuted into those urban areas, they would face cold arrows shot from tunnels, walls or bunkers, or knives stabbed in the back.

Not to mention attacking the human city wall from behind, it is very difficult to get out of this urban area.

What's more, after humans have effective air defense methods, it is no longer as easy for half-orcs to play the trick of airborne from behind.

Those rhubarb crossbows, as well as the flamethrower, will do serious damage to the golden eagles in the air.

The golden eagles that often carried half-orcs were lit with sky lanterns in the air, and some of them were killed by cold arrows from the anti-aircraft towers when they descended to drop the half-orcs they carried.

So after losing hundreds of golden eagles and tens of thousands of airborne half-orc soldiers, the half-orcs gave up this siege mode.

In the end, I chose this seemingly clumsy and slow, but most effective method, which is to compete with humans for consumption!

After a period of confrontation, the orcs also understood that there should be about one million people in this human kingdom.

Among them, there should be 200,000 soldiers, but only 100,000 of them can be called elites, and in the previous Napaer Mountain City Raid Station and Qukai City Raid Battle.

They estimate that at least 30,000 elite humans have been killed, so the remaining human combat power is only a few hundred thousand.

And now there are more than 300,000 half-orcs crowding in front of the gate of the rushing city, and there are 200,000 reinforcements behind, and countless logistical supplies.

So after discussing with the senior generals of the orcs recently, they adopted the most clumsy but most effective method, which is to compete with humans for consumption.

So far, it seems that the effect is very good, mainly because the human mage seems to be absent.

So recently, their continuous offense has put a lot of pressure on the human defense.

The half-orc catapults roared and launched huge stones towards the human city wall, and right in front of their launching positions, there were rows of python longbowmen, and they shot giant arrowheads more than one meter long. Launched towards the top of the human wall.

It's really thanks to the super flexibility of these giant pythons, otherwise it would be impossible for other half-orcs to shoot these giant arrows at the wall.

In the air, there are also giant dragons that appear and disappear from time to time shuttle above the heads of humans, and will pounce down from time to time to teach these damned humans a lesson.

Below the giant dragon, there are golden eagles that are constantly wandering, and various birdmen, some of them hold stones in their hands, some of them hold bows and arrows, and they are ready to dive down at any time.

Just now, from the north side, a bat team flew at low altitude along the river, escaped the human sentries, suddenly rushed to the top of the wall, and shot a round of arrows at the human formation on the wall that was preparing to camp the enemy. The rain caused dozens of casualties.

Because the arrows were poisoned, the wounded soldiers were basically dead.

However, this group of Batmen was quickly burned to pieces by the fire dragon shot from the air defense tower. There were more than a dozen of them on the spot, and they were burned into roast mice in the air.

The bat team caused a commotion on top of the human wall, and the airborne falcon team swooped down in the direction of the ridge, trying to take advantage of it.

As a result, as soon as they rushed down, they were spotted by the observation post in Anfu Castle on the ridge, and soon they hit the anti-aircraft tower composed of human arrows.

Inspired by Xiao Feng, the University Maester Charlesman invented a powerful continuous crossbow, which played a very important role in this battle of defending the city wall.

This kind of crossbow is extremely poor in accuracy, but its advantage is that it can cover the firepower. Although the range is only 50 meters, if ten shooters use it at the same time, they can fire a hundred crossbow bolts at a time.

For a piece of airspace, indiscriminate coverage can be achieved, which is simply a nightmare for these orcs who are good at air strikes.

Because even though they can attack from the air, their effective attack range is not very large.

Only when they descended to a certain height can they perform precise strikes, but once they descended to a certain height, they also entered the range of human crossbowmen.

This makes their attack greatly reduced!

The display battle between the two sides in front of the city wall soon became stalemate, and the 500-man phalanx of the half-orcs quickly rushed under the city wall. The elephant men raised the stone skins and rushed to the cart, helped each other's heads, and then began to dig the wall clumsily.

The human defenders on the top of the city wall operated catapults, rhubarb crossbows, and began to shoot at the orc long-range troops in the distance. At the same time, thick tree trunks protruded from the top of the city wall. At the front of the trunk was a An arrow tower.

The human archers hid in the arrow tower and shot arrows at the half-orc phalanx below the city wall.

At the same time, in the bastions on the protruding part of the city wall, there will also be archers pouring arrow rain down continuously.

The half-orcs under the city wall, except for the elephant man who chiseled the wall, the other centaur archers would hide under the stone-skinned chariot and shoot at the human archers. . .
