My Empire War Game

Chapter 256 sneak attack

The long-range weapons of the orcs and the human beings fought each other, and the army of the orcs also entered the range of the human archers, and the human archers raised their bows and arrows and shot them into the sky. A dense rain of arrows fell from the sky, and the orcs continued to advance despite the rain of arrows with rough shields.

Only a few unlucky people were hit by bows and arrows, but for orcs, bows and arrows did not do much damage, unless they hit the key points, and ordinary arrows did limited damage. Some orcs shot by bows and arrows pulled out the arrows and did not care about the wounds at all. After a roar, they charged faster.

The orcs rushed under the city wall in the rain of arrows, and then set up the ladder to start attacking the city. The rolling wooden rocks on the city wall kept throwing down, and the stones of this weight would break bones and tendons, and even the body of the orcs could not hold it. , Although the casualties were not small, the orcs did not flinch at all, roaring and rushing up the ladder.

From the very beginning, the war became very fierce. Orcs and humans fought fiercely on the top of the city. An orc just killed a human soldier, and the next second was stabbed in the heart by a human next to him.

Thousands of soldiers on the battlefield are just numbers, which are consumables. The main generals of both sides looked at the battlefield with expressions, and some shamans began to cast spells. The same is true for the wizards on the city walls. In addition to wizards, there are some Shrine priests dressed in priest robes.

One by one magic spells were displayed, elements surged on the battlefield, and various elemental energies such as lightning, ice, and flames continued to erupt, but overall, the human spellcasters had the upper hand.

The offensive and defensive battle of Calente City was in full swing, and Su Lun finally began to act. The army of more than 5,000 people in Zhenbei City, together with the Harpy, began to approach the Blackstone Fortress.

"What did you say? There isn't an organized orc army stationed in Blackrock Fortress?" Su Lun was a little surprised when he heard the scout's words.

"Yes, Your Excellency, Blackrock Fortress has no organized orc army, only a small number of orcs."

"What are the orcs doing? They don't want to go back? Don't they plan to go back to the North?" Su Lun muttered to himself.

"Forget it, it's none of my business if the orcs go back. Boulder, you lead someone to capture the Blackrock Fortress for me, and don't let any of those orcs run away."

"As ordered, head!" Boulder rubbed his smooth head, then grinned and left with a group of barbarians.

There are not many orcs left in the Blackstone Fortress, only about a hundred people. Facing the barbarian raid, these orcs have no power to fight back. The only orc warrior was cut into two pieces by the boulder as soon as the battle started. Halfway through, Su Lun easily occupied the Blackrock Fortress.

"It's hard for the monsters to easily attack from behind the Blackstone Fortress. This TM is basically undefended." Su Lun looked at the city wall that was only three or four meters high. There were no watchtowers, no arrow towers, and no arrow stacks. The strength, even without the help of tools, can be climbed by a run-up.

It is completely different from the city wall that is more than 20 meters high in front of the Blackstone Fortress. The people who built the Blackstone Fortress didn't even think about the defense behind the fortress. After all, the back is the territory of humans. As a result, the orcs took advantage of this weakness this time and easily occupied the Blackstone Fortress, which had caused them heavy casualties.

"This is the fortress. If the enemy attacks from the south, it can't be defended at all." Su Lun shook his head, and at the same time gave up his plan to occupy this place. Indeed, if he occupied this place, the orc army's back path would be cut off, but At that time, Zhenbei City will have to fight against tens of thousands of orcs. If he wins, there will be no benefit. If he loses, all the accumulation of this year will be lost. He will not do this kind of loss-making business.

"Ayton, have you found the place where the orcs held the human slaves?" Su Lun asked, yes, his current target is the human slaves captured by the orcs. The northern provinces were invaded by the orcs, and even the cities were broken a few times. Block, a large number of humans who did not escape were captured and made slaves.

The orcs capture human slaves so that they can farm. Now there are at least tens of thousands of human slaves in the hands of the orcs. So many human slaves are too much for Su Lun. After this year, he spent money to buy them It is forced immigration again, and the population of Zhenbei City has not exceeded 30,000. If this wave can rescue these human slaves from the orcs, the population of Zhenbei City is likely to exceed 100,000.

As for your claim that these human beings were originally free people and subjects of other lords, those noble lords will ask Su Lun for it. Sorry, this is the human slave I rescued from the orcs, where have your people gone? The orcs stole it, you go to the orcs to ask for it!

You go to the people who have been kidnapped by yourself, what is the matter with the serfs in my town north city?

The total population of the Kingdom of Florence is about 5 million, of which 3 million are distributed in the south, and the northern provinces have less than 2 million people. This time the orcs invaded, even if they finally drove the orcs out, it is estimated that they will suffer heavy losses. If Zhenbei City reached 100,000 people, it would be enough to establish a duchy.

"Your Excellency, the orcs keep their captured human slaves in separate camps. The nearest one is near Winter City. There are about 15,000 people, and there are 2,000 orcs in charge of guarding them." Ayton will collect The news came out.

"We have also drawn maps of several other places, please take a look at the adults"

Su Lun reached out and took a sheepskin scroll, opened it, and drew a simple map on it, the Nafel Mountains, the Blackrock Fortress, and several cities in the northern provinces, which city was breached. How many orcs are still marked, and the places where the orcs hold human slaves are also marked.

"Good job!" Su Lun closed the map and patted Ayton on the shoulder. As the first drow elf to pledge his allegiance to him, Su Lun still liked it very much.

Because Su Lun's purpose is the population captured by the orcs, and the population will be transported to Zhenbei City when the population is grabbed. , No one on both sides can draw manpower, this is a godsend opportunity for Su Lun.

Winter City, since it was captured by the army of orcs, the orcs drove out all the humans here. As for all the people who refused to leave, their heads were beheaded. Even after several days, the city was still filled with blood. There are not many soldiers stationed here. It can be said that this city with a population of more than 20,000 people has become a ghost town.

Outside Winter City, in a humble camp, a large number of humans are working under the whip of the orcs. They are forging weapons and armor for the Orc army on the front lines. After conquering Winter City, the orcs obtained a lot of materials, and these materials are naturally to be used.

Sullen repaired at Blackrock Stronghold, leaving five hundred soldiers behind, and then waited until dark to set out for Winterfell.

The army of 2,000 orcs is not a soft persimmon. Even if Zhenbei City can win, it will pay a lot of casualties, so his plan is to make a sneak attack, defeat these orcs in the shortest time, and then take away those human slaves.

His strategic goal this time is not to kill many orcs, but to snatch a large number of people.

Under the leadership of the scouts, the army of Zhenbei City advanced rapidly while taking advantage of the darkness. At one o'clock in the morning, the army came to the periphery of the orc camp. At this time, there were not many guards in the orc camp. Cities simply do not dare to leave the city.

This also made the orcs relax their vigilance. They never imagined that when the orc army was advancing all the way, someone would come to pay attention to the orc camp.

"Your Majesty, no dark whistle was found." Ayton bent down and touched Su Lun and said.

"Then let's start!" Su Lun nodded and ordered directly.

Then Ayton hid into the darkness with more than twenty drow elves. These drow elves were proficient in detection, assassination, and sneak attacks. Under the cover of night, they easily touched the entrance of the orc camp.

At this time, the two orc soldiers were yawning and sentry. In the shadows behind them, two figures suddenly appeared, and then the figures flashed. Cover the orc's mouth.

Blood spurted, the two orcs widened their eyes, and their bodies struggled violently to break free, but as the blood flowed out and the trachea was broken, the strength of the two orcs' struggle became weaker and weaker, and after a few breaths, they fell into a dead silence.

Su Lun waited outside the camp for a while, and soon the simple gate of the camp was opened. The two drows circled in the air three times with torches. After seeing the signal, Su Lun ordered the army of Zhenbei City to attack. .

The army of Zhenbei City quickly entered the camp, and such a big movement could no longer be hidden.

"Enemy attack!"

A roar spread throughout the entire camp, and a large number of orcs rushed out of the tent. Seeing the orcs appear, the soldiers of Zhenbei City lined up in this battle formation and rushed forward, and the archers behind them also began to shoot arrows. Because they were defenseless, the orcs had no shields at all, and a large number of orcs were shot by bows and arrows. Compared with human bows and arrows, half-elf and centaur bows and arrows were powerful. As soon as they came into contact, these orcs paid a heavy price.

The spearmen in front saw that the orcs suffered heavy losses, so they formed a battle formation and started to advance. Facing the spear formation in Zhenbei City, the orcs roared and rushed up, but they were blocked by their shields, and then they were directly stabbed by a few spears. Suddenly there was the sound of wings being afraid to beat in the sky, and before these orcs could react, a large number of stones fell from the sky.

The orcs, who lacked protection in the first place, were directly smashed to the head and bloodied, and even more seriously, their brains burst. An orc who should be a commander roared loudly and wanted to organize an army. The surrounding orcs gathered to him. At this moment, a fireball the size of a basin fell from the sky and hit the orc commander.

The explosion sounded loudly, orange flames sputtered, and the orc in the middle of the explosion was directly blown out.
