Othua's War Banner

Chapter 610 0605: Siege Warfare
The Heila were recalled, and they all stood silently around the battle banner at this moment, and the sound of boots climbing on the hard stone wall came from behind them.

John pulled his fur coat tighter, his eyes drooping.

His hair was stained with a lot of dust, and he was in a hurry, making him very embarrassed.

"The things you want have been buried. Although the time is short, they have been purchasing and transporting since receiving the order. To be honest, even the warehouse of the captain of Frozen Harbor may not have so much gunpowder."

As John was talking, he couldn't help but look outside the city wall.

The orc herald's arms were bare, his mouth with two fangs was clenched on the mouthpiece of the horn—the huge horn with totems and bone ornaments was blown.

The wilderness lions roared, the chains were tightened, and the guards raised their shields and began to attack.

[Halo: Iron Beast]

The cavalry raised their weapons and shouted.

F-Ron-Gon-Dor--

The siege battle officially started.

Ken pulled Twilight out of the stone trough and handed over command to Collins.

He's going to the middle of the army.

Before leaving, Ken asked John again: "Do as I said, make sure that Joan doesn't wake up before leaving Qiuming Ancient Road, and if you escape far enough, listen to Selena and Mag's opinions."

"I understand." Han grabbed the leather jacket and left the city wall with Zhanjing and Heila.

When he was about to part, he couldn't help but said: "Those things are really dangerous, be careful."

Ken nodded and left.

Outside the city wall, the orc infantry had already charged with their knives and axes. At the same time, Thorn Kaya shot a dense rain of arrows.

The arrowheads have been contaminated with poison and secret oil, forming a net with fine holes, covering the road.

The charcoal fire was shot with puffing noises, the arrowheads pierced into the dirt and wood, and some were knocked away by hard objects, their tails twisted and swayed, like grass growing wildly under the cloudy clouds.

The city gate of Thornton Kaya is composed of stone, wood and steel. At the beginning of the design, Burke used it as the core of the second stage of the tribe's city defense.

The engineer of the kingdom who studied the art of defense to the extreme left behind complex design drawings. At any stage of the development of the tribe, craftsmen and workshops can be operated at full capacity.

While Ken was away, the lumbermills and quarries were brightly lit.

The defense of the tribe is rising steadily.

The orcs also had siege equipment, but most of their luggage was on the Qiuming Ancient Road, and the main force brought things to fight with two scarworms and countless Mengyue apostles.

A wavy gully was dug in front of the gate of Santon Kaya, the bridges that usually pass through were put away, and the orc chariots and cavalry were restricted.

Arrows rained down, steel clanged, and interlaced, pale indentations appeared in an instant.

The beast cavalrymen took out their one-handed shields and walked hard in the gully as a vanguard, covered in blood, swinging the chain hammer to smash the obstacles stuck upside down in the soil.

The muscular orc stonemasons were dispatched. Under the cover of heavy armor soldiers, they stepped forward, carrying heavy hammers. They were disciplined and moved quickly. After they were in place, they began to hammer down the foundation piles.

As long as the orcs install fixed anchor points, they can support temporary bridges and siege equipment.

The sound of heavy wood colliding came from the city wall, and more than a dozen heavy crossbows with twisted tendons were launched, aiming at the orc artificial soldiers who were smashing them.

The heavy and huge steel crossbow volley made a piercing whistling sound, and a single shot could knock down the cavalry.

The reloaded guards began to advance.

They originally wanted to launch a bloody road in Santon Kaya when the city gate was broken open. Facing the city defense crossbow, they could only erect the strong shield in their hands in advance.

Arrows rained down, and the unarmored wilderness lion withdrew far away, roaring manically.

Heavy crossbows were still being fired on the city wall.

The iron arrow had a handle, and the secret medicine was applied, and the groove was opened. The healing effect of the orc shaman became worse, and the retreating cavalry was bleeding profusely.

The vanguard officer did not expect that a small remote tribe would erect a heavy crossbow for city defense.

When the imperial guards came to the city, the situation was reversed instantly.

The heavy crossbow made the shield crooked, but it couldn't penetrate the steel armor weighing a hundred catties.

The stonemasons took the opportunity to build bridges, chains were connected in series, and iron plates were lowered to form passages that could cross the barrier line of the city defense!

More than a dozen chariots with wild shapes rolled out, and the strong, long-haired monster stepped forward and approached at an uncontrollable speed.

The armored beast soldier in the driver's seat held up his hammer.

Without slowing down, they crossed the Banqiao and slammed into the city wall.

The people above almost fell to their knees, and the frequency of shooting from the giant crossbow stopped for a while. There was a sound of exclamation, and everyone held on to something nearby to maintain balance.

Collins frowned, the stones under his feet made a dull sound, and dust fell.

He raised the steel sword: "Throw down the gunpowder barrel, and blow up all those rough-skinned and thick-skinned monsters!"

Quema hesitated to speak, because he saw an orc appearing on the edge of the city wall, so he swung his spear and pierced the opponent's eye socket.

He followed the fading screams to the edge of the city wall, leaned on the stone and looked down—the orcs had a lot of experience in siege, and they had already started erecting ladders in the blink of an eye, so they didn't intend to waste time on the city gate.

Frengundo watched quietly from a distance.

He was carrying the beast blood, his eyes were calm, as if he was observing, but also seemed to be waiting for something.

Quema turned back to look back at the Horde.

Scores of buildings were empty, and the residents had already begun to evacuate according to the established route, while Ken rode Fei Wolf King, silently in the largest square behind the city gate.

Zhan Jing is also waiting.

Kuima had no time to look after him, and the long-range formations under his command obeyed his command—replaced arrowheads, put on kerosene, and prepared to ignite the ravine at the gate of the city.

The shooting position retreated and the climbing began. The long-range fire gave up the condescending perspective, and all but the heavy crossbowmen retreated from the city wall, leaving space for the melee troops.

Both the arrow tower and the watchtower were equipped with heavy crossbows and high-level archers. Others came to the flat ground and began to shoot arrows alternately.

There are enemies outside the city walls, and it is not a loss to shoot arrows with fire anywhere.

While Quema was running, the gunpowder barrel was taken out, and Collins began to direct the soldiers to ignite and discard it, and concentrate their firepower to bomb the ladder.

The Hanqi brothers spent a lot of effort to acquire a batch of copper oil gunpowder.

This thing is also called [Silent Shark Tooth]. It is the most important material on the ice waters, the soul of the firepower of warships, and merchants wandering between various ice ports will store part of it.

The wooden barrels in the raw material state were thrown down directly, and fell among the beast cavalrymen who pushed the wall and the orcs who climbed the ladder.

White light and heat waves rise at the same time, more smoke and dust are stirred up, and the bursting orange color is particularly eye-catching under the cloudy clouds.

There was a rumbling sound, and the solid city wall began to show signs of loosening.

The beast tamer's eyes fixed on the tower.

The repeatedly flashing white light illuminated the stone wall, and several warlocks were already waiting near the winter house.

"The Animal Clan has never been afraid of orcs, feel the wrath of the wasteland." The beast tamer snorted coldly and walked forward on crutches.

The wooden crutches knocked on the floor tiles, and the surrounding magic circles lit up one by one, and a huge black beast horn was placed at the core.

The totem is mottled, alternating light and dark.

[Fortifications: Horn of the Beast]

The beast tamer raised his crutch in the guard of the warlock, and slammed it hard on the ground, the floor tiles cracked, and the ethereal magic like aurora overflowed from it.

He seized and blew the horn, and thick blood began to flow from his mouth and nose.

The dull and invisible ripples piled up wantonly.

With him as the core, the sound wave broke through the night, covered the frequent explosions, and even distorted the air.

It pierced through the dust in the stone bricks and covered Frengundor and all the orc hosts around him in one leap.
