In this era, a very important purpose of a trencher is to throw fire pots, that is, to set fire. Throwing turmeric oil into the city or on the wall and setting fire can play a very effective role. If it can be matched with black oil, that is, open-air oil and other things will play a very terrible role in this era! This was one of Murphy's ideas at that time, but he couldn't find any oil.

Even Athens was not as luxurious as using tinea oil, so the orcs naturally couldn't do it.

The ammunition they use is a stone weighing between about 15-25 kilograms, which is about the size of a basketball.

The giant catapult used by the orcs is also a technology from the early BC of the Earth Age, and it does not have much advantage in terms of lethality alone. It just looks amazing!

A stone bullet can smash a pit nearly one meter deep after it lands!

If it falls on the city wall, even the hard city wall will be smashed into a pit.

"Prepare the crossbow!"

As the enemy's scattering machine was put into use, General Leodale also issued a loud command.

Twenty-four crossbows were pushed out, and Greek soldiers aimed at the approaching enemy and put the rock bullets piled up on the side.

The Greek-designed crossbow has a sturdy bracket, with the main beam placed on the bracket, and two torsion spring groups are installed on both sides of its front end. Each spring group drives a crossbow arm, and the end of the crossbow arm is connected to the bow string. In the middle of the bow string is a woven mesh bag that holds the projectile. The crossbow has powerful power, and a good performance crossbow can even throw a stone bullet weighing 1 tarante (ancient Greek weight unit, about 26 kilograms) 250 meters away.

Although the range of the crossbows made in Athens is not as good as that of the catapult, it simply has an advantage in quantity. Once the crossbows are put into battle, the deterrence brought by the enemy's catapults disappears. On the contrary, the rows of crossbows on the city walls made the orc warriors feel a little scared!

The battle continues.

Soon, waves of shouts and wails rang out on the battlefield.

Murphy did not stand at the top of the city to direct this battle himself.

"Governor General, General Rosha Yat has not come back." A cavalryman rushed to Murphy. He turned over and jumped off his horse and knelt on one knee and said, "There was no movement on Mrs. Elizabeth."

Murphy had no expression on his face, but he nodded slightly to signal the cavalry to retreat.

As if he was a little disappointed, he shook his head and sighed, "Sure enough! You can only rely on yourself for everything."

Two days have passed.

The indigenous general Rosa Yat who went to the noble parliament for help has not returned yet.

Until now, on May 7, it was nearly four days before the Orcs broke through the Canyon Pass. There was almost no news from Mrs. Elizabeth. This made Murphy feel a little disappointed, and there was no news from the noble council, which was beyond his expectations. What he did not expect was that Mrs. Elizabeth, who had been close to him in the past year, had not taken any action yet.

It is a lie to say that you are not disappointed.

If it weren't for the "Total War" auxiliary system as a support system, I'm afraid there would be almost no chance of winning against the Half-Beast Army this time?

"I understand." Murphy glanced at the cavalry in front of him and said, "You go down and rest first."

"yes!"

Murphy closed his eyes and pondered silently. The shouts of killing from the city wall did not affect his thinking.

About ten minutes later.

Murphy slowly opened his eyes, his eyes turned firm, raised his hand to call the captain of the general guard beside him, and said in a deep voice: "Send the order!"

"Let the cavalry guards prepare and set off immediately after the sun sets!"

The captain of the general guard had a complete face and responded: "Yes! Governor!"

After instructing the play of the General Guard, Murphy called General Marcus Kane again and ordered him: "Call the Crete archers! Prepare each of them a dry food, ten arrows, and a horse. After the sun sets, you will lead them to set off with me!"

"yes!"

General Marcus Kane nodded and turned to leave.

"Call the Spartan Conquers! Let them wait for me before the sun sets!"

"yes!"

A general guard servant took the order and left.

……………………

A series of orders were issued, and the entire military camp became busy.

In addition to the remaining Greek heavy infantry, other soldiers began to retreat. About twenty kilometers away from the fortress, there was a high slope and a must-pass way to Athens. There was just fifty kilometers away from the inner city of Athens.

And there is the real main battlefield of this war!
