Let alone rushing to the top of the city, there was no chance of even rushing under the corner.

But as the war continued.

The tide of the war is slowly turning.

The strength of the Odin Orcs this time was too great.

Even under the indiscriminate bombardment of hundreds of thousands of black powder barrels and the shooting of millions of sharp arrows.

The number of Odin Orcs didn't seem to decrease significantly, and every attack was densely packed with a saturated attitude.

Although the arsenal behind the Broken Vein Defense Line is working at full capacity and is continuously transporting black powder barrels, compared to the long front line, the thousands of black powder barrels thrown out every day are a drop in the bucket.

In the end, it was inevitable to fall into the same bloody battle as before.

Hit with stones, chop with weapons, and even use your teeth when necessary.

When on the verge of life and death, there is not much difference between humans and beasts.

The first ones to fall into a bitter battle were neither the Broken Mouth Blood Fortress nor those small fortresses, but something similar to the Tiger's Mouth Fort, which was neither big nor small.

Compared with those small fortresses and fortresses, this kind of fortress usually has less obvious geographical advantages, making it easier for Odin orcs to deploy their siege troops.

And in terms of material reserves, they are not as good as the Broken Mouth Blood Fortress.

The attack is fierce and consumes a lot of money, so it is naturally easier to run out.

Once the black powder barrels and arrows are exhausted, this place will be attacked by the Odin Orcs.

It is difficult to change the quantity, after all, this is limited by the terrain.

What has changed is the quality, from the original cannon fodder of herders mixed with elite soldiers, they have all become elites who have experienced hundreds of battles.

These people have extremely rich combat experience, are usually taller and stronger than the Byrons, and are naturally gifted with magic-like skills.

Once they climbed up to the top of the city, it would be difficult to drive them off the top of the city without the cooperation of three or two soldiers, let alone kill them.

As for knights and great knights, their role in such a super-large battle is severely weakened, and their number is their biggest disadvantage.

The entire war was still dominated by new soldiers and retinue knights.

Soon some forts changed hands several times.

As soon as the Odin Orcs captured it with their front legs, the Blood Castle would organize reserves and elites to recapture it.

However, even if these castles and fortresses were recaptured, most of them suffered serious damage.

The first thing the Odin Orcs did when they captured the fortress was not to repair it, but to destroy and demolish it.

Once recaptured by the opponent, it will be convenient for them to attack the city next time.

Therefore, if a castle falls once, its defense difficulty will be greatly increased, and it will change hands repeatedly.

Sometimes, out of overall consideration, the commander of this section of the defense line even had to order the abandonment of the defense and transfer the remaining troops to the surrounding fortresses to strengthen the defense.

Even if the Odin Orcs master several fortresses, their significance is usually not particularly great.

Once these fortresses are abandoned, it means that the broken line of defense will mobilize a cavalry to stand by nearby.

If Odin orcs pour in from this direction, they will be bitten, and then cavalry will come from all directions and eat them alive.

Without taking down a large number of Broken Line defense gates or Broken Blood Fortresses, there is no point in just taking down a few gates.

The small-scale influx is just to increase the capital for the brilliant achievements of Duankou Xueqi.

Although the offensive was unprecedentedly brutal, the Theodin Empire did not create an unexpected outcome.

After more than two months of continuous attacks on the vein-breaking defense line, they had to fully withdraw to the north and embarked on the road back to the Theodin Empire.

They were not so much defeated by the Strachey family as they were defeated by themselves.

The consumption of millions of Odin orcs and tens of millions of livestock is truly astonishing.

In less than three months, all the grass that had just grown this year in the hundreds of kilometers of grasslands outside the Duanmai defense line had been eaten away. In many places, even the roots of the grass were gnawed away by hungry cattle.

.

It is estimated that in the next few years, the vegetation here will be much sparser than normal.

If we continue to fight, it won't be a question of whether we can capture the broken line of defense. If we are not careful, there will be a big collapse.

Although Ulan Bage was angry, he was not angry enough to risk everything for revenge.

When the Theodin Empire withdrew, it did not disperse in a rush.

Instead, the east and west fronts continued to suppress, and the Chinese army, as the main force, slowly retreated.

If the Strachey family sends the Broken Mouth Blood Cavalry to pursue them, they will fall directly into the pocket of the Theodin Empire.

The two wings cooperated with the main force, attacking from three sides, and directly captured the Broken Mouth Blood Cavalry that the Stray family relied on.

Once this world-famous cavalry is captured, the Theodin Empire's southern expedition will turn defeat into victory and achieve an unprecedented glorious victory.

Without the cooperation of cavalry, the defensive power of the Broken Vein Defense Line will be weakened by 30%, and the Theodin Empire will attack in a large scale next time.

Even if it has a large amount of black powder, it is estimated that it will be difficult to resist the Broken Vein Defense Line.

Defense does not mean that mobile troops are not needed.

Throughout the entire defensive battle, Broken Mouth Blood Cavalry played an indispensable role in it.

They are not only running on the road to attack, but also running on the road to put out fires.

Wherever there is a big problem in the fortress, they will be there.

Most of those fallen fortresses were pushed back by them.

Even the brave Odin Orcs couldn't withstand the counterattack of hundreds of Broken Blood Riders.

After the main force of the Theodin Empire retreated far away, the troops on both wings retreated in turn.
