A Song of Ice and Fire: The Magic Empire of the Plane Where the Song Begins

Since ancient times, there has been a doctrine of cavalry siege.

The reason why the orcs used the wolf cavalry as the vanguard was of course to seize the city gate.

A while ago, Oakland was besieged by orcs, the capital was besieged, and the whole city was under martial law. During the battle of defending the city, Oakland lived on the accumulated supplies.

After the retreat of the orcs, martial law was lifted. Naturally, a large number of people and nobles had to go out of the city to purchase supplies to supplement the previous consumption. Therefore, for a period of time, the city gate was full of traffic and people came and went.

The wolf cavalry rushed towards the capital with the fastest speed. When they saw the beacon device, they immediately destroyed it, so that the city gate guards would not have time to find out. They rushed to the city gate as much as possible. If they could seize the city gate, the battle would be half won.

Oakland's guards were indeed slack, but it was unrealistic to want the orcs' raid to succeed.

When Oakland was part of the Kingdom of Thoradin, it was built to guard against trolls from the north.

The forest trolls in the north were far more mobile than the orcs in the woodlands. Thinking of the old Oakland, who had been closely guarding the northern border of the Thoradin Kingdom, even after a thousand years, the armament was loose, and the Oakland was barely in time. Found the raiding orcs.

The guards were very frightened, and quickly issued an order to close the city gate.

Because it is a city built on a mountain, unlike the plain area with a moat, the capital naturally does not have such things as suspension bridges, but there are still gates.

The hinges turned and the gate fell quickly, but the beastmen who were on the attack did not stop.

These possibilities, Durotan had anticipated before he set off.

Durotan rode a snow-white Frost Wolf, one wolf took the lead, and he led a large group of troops to quickly run towards the city gate.

When they attacked the city before, it was difficult for the orcs to get close to the city wall of Oakland, because the terrain here was steep and the city wall was high. Every time they approached the city, they would be pushed back by the archers on the city wall. The counterattack of the magicians in Oakland was a headache.

Now it's different. The whole city is celebrating, and the guards on the city walls are greatly reduced. Magicians are different from soldiers. In a non-war state, there will be no large-scale magicians to patrol the army or anything. Magic The number of teachers is small, the status is high, and generally they will not be called at will.

Durotan put all his hopes in this attack, and this kind of attack can only be used once. If this time is unsuccessful, he can only face a tragic siege.

Taking advantage of the fact that the archers in the city didn't have time to gather, and the sparse arrows could not cause any trouble to the orcs, Durotan led the orcs to the city gate in a rush.

When they arrived at the city gate, Durotan led the cavalry to separate, leaving out the shamans in the middle of the team who were riding wolves but not soldiers.

Because it was a surprise attack, there was no way to carry a siege weapon, not to mention that it was difficult to bring a weapon so close to the city gate. This was the first time the orcs had successfully reached the city gate.

Since there are no siege weapons, magic is a good choice.

In the previous attacks, as long as the shaman used a spell, he would be blocked by the magician. When the opposite magician cast a spell, the shaman of the tribe would fight back, and the situation was very anxious.

Now, it's finally time for no mages on the city walls. Durotan has also invested in the blood. Drek'Thar has selected all the shamans from the various clans, and gathered all the shamans that meet the standards. In this operation, it was defended layer by layer.

Speaking responsibly, with a ranged attack to destroy this group of shamans, there will be problems with the tribe's high-level shaman heritage.

The shamans rode the Warg, took a few steps forward, and at the same time used the shamanic spell of lava explosion~www.readwn.com~ The whole tribe, after regaining the shamanism, the number of shamans who recovered their abilities was large, and the The elements on Azeroth are more active, and the number of people who have awakened into new shamans is also increasing. However, the number of shamans who can get the help of elements and use lava bursts is only about 30. It is estimated that the number will be in the future. It will gradually increase, but now, the tribe is making a big gamble this time, bringing together more than 30 high-level shamans, and constantly communicating the elements several days in advance, just for today's attack.

With the help of the fire element, more than 30 shamans used the lava to burst and smashed directly on the city gate.

The iron bars of the gate on the outside began to melt under the high temperature, and the wooden gate on the inside began to burn, but within a dozen seconds, the gate was already charred black. At this time, if there was a magician to cool down with water magic, it could be saved. It's a pity that the magicians are all attending parties in the city, and now there are only ordinary soldiers on the city wall. .

Durotan didn't have time to wait for the temperature to drop, so he ordered several strong orcs from the tribe to charge up together.

Approaching the city gate, regardless of the still burning fire, the orcs also slammed the city gate with warhammers, completely ignoring the flames to scorch their heads and burn their flesh.

These are all warriors of the tribe. If Durotan hadn't shouldered the heavy responsibility of command, he couldn't be easily injured and fell down, and he would certainly have rushed ahead.

The city gate, which had been burned and carbonized, was finally overwhelmed before the warriors who smashed the gate were scalded, and a big hole was smashed out.

Several orcs have also been scalded. Durotan left a group of orcs to guard the city gate and responded to the orc infantry who rushed up behind him. He also arranged for three shamans to take care of the injured orcs and lead the remaining orcs. , passed through the still hot city gate, and entered the capital of Alterac.
