Chapter 42 The Battle of the North County Valley
When Zhang Weidao, who was wearing heavy plate armor, rushed towards the orc army that was in formation not far away, the trebuchet on the top of the mountain that had been calibrated for a long time fired fire bombs neatly at Jiage's order.
I saw a wave of flaming earthen jars falling into the middle of the orcs. After the earthen jars broke, the fire oil splashed out and lit the surrounding orcs into torches. The sudden rain of fire blinded the orcs, and the entire army was instantly trapped.
In the chaos, Zhang Weidao, who was rushing towards him like a tyrannosaurus several hundred meters away, was ignored.
When Zhang Weidao rushed into the rear of the unimpeded orc army, a bloody killing spree broke out at the moment of contact. The orc soldiers in front of him were one of the few long-range soldiers. Zhang Weidao swung his sword and swept over.
It can sweep down a large area.
Just when Zhang Weidao was cutting grass in the long-range unit, the defenders of the monastery opened the city gate and came out. The musketeers ran in front, stopping from time to time to shoot, keeping a distance that allowed them to retreat behind the heavy infantry at any time.
The soldiers wandered among the musketeers, intercepting the orc warriors who could bear the bullets and rushing towards them. Many orc warriors were shot down by the short spears thrown by them before they even got close.
After approaching a certain distance, the orcs' ladders and battering rams were burned by fire oil cans thrown by senior warriors. At this time, half of the mission goal of taking the initiative had been achieved.
The senior warriors and the heavy infantry who pushed to the front worked together to intercept the orcs. Under the triple attack of the heavy infantry, senior warriors and musketeers, the casualties of the already chaotic orcs skyrocketed.
Most of the orc masters mobilized to attack Zhang Weidao. The middle and low-level orc warriors did not have much advantage in front of the human heavy infantry. In addition, Wu Ping, a high-level weapons master with peak strength, helped out, and the orc army with a large number of people was defeated.
Hit with pressure.
However, Zhang Weidao's offensive encountered some troubles. The orcs' ten thousand captains and three thousand captains attacked him together. One hero level and three quasi-hero level masters brought great pressure.
The equipment of these guys is not as crude as that of ordinary orcs. Their full-body iron armor prevents them from being hacked to death by Zhang Weidao's sword. The orc leader also wears a heavy plate armor.
There are several high-level warriors roaming around. Fortunately, Jiage has killed many high-level warriors on the cliff. Otherwise, Zhang Weidao would have capsized in the ditch today. The power of the spell under the advantage of the geographical location is amazing.
None of the orcs dared to get close to Garg's casting range.
At this time, the heavy infantry and soldiers were not far from Zhang Weidao. When the veterans who participated in the defense of Stormwind City saw clearly the battle situation inside the field, they quickly arranged for the musketeers to retreat in turns while maintaining firepower output.
Among the crowd, Wu Ping made a retreat gesture to Zhang Weidao, and then the heavy infantry and soldiers also began to retreat slowly. Zhang Weidao also purposefully led these guys who besieged him closer to the city wall.
When Zhang Weidao attracted several orc masters to fight, the musketeers were already withdrawing into the monastery fortress in batches. The musketeers who climbed onto the city wall fired hot projectiles unscrupulously, and many orc warriors were shot to death.
As more and more musketeers returned to the city wall, the defensive firepower was so fierce that it suppressed the orcs' charge. The dense rain of bullets instantly cleared an uninhabited area, and the heavy infantry and soldiers took the opportunity to retreat smoothly.
Within the city.
Wu Ping, who had climbed onto the city wall, directed his musketeers to fire intensively at the orc masters. Zhang Weidao seized the opportunity and swept them back with a sweep, then jumped onto the city wall. The orc masters who had missed the opportunity to surround Zhang Weidao roared angrily.
The orc leader crouched down slightly, charged up his strength, and jumped onto the city wall. However, he was knocked down by Zhang Weidao's Crusader Strike. At the critical moment, the orc leader parried with a big axe, otherwise he would have been seriously injured at least.
.
The frightened orc leader did not dare to act rashly. Seeing the heavy casualties among the middle and low-level orc warriors and peons, he quickly blew the horn and ordered his men to withdraw from the musket range and reorganize. In just one contact battle, so many troops were lost, plus a
They were trapped and plotted on the road, and the orcs had already lost at least 50% of their troops in the battle.
The distance between the two sides was controlled beyond the range of long-range weapons. At this time, Zhang Weidao had time to carefully look at the orc army. The ordinary orc infantry and middle- and low-level warriors were generally poorly equipped. They wore leather armor and only had iron breastplates and shoulder armor on their chests.
Quality, orc weapons are usually battle axes or maces.
Starting from the high-level warriors, the equipment is much better. Although the forging technology of the orcs is indeed lagging behind compared to the world, but now that we have resources, it is still possible to ensure that high-level warriors can equip full-body iron armor.
Although it is not as easy to wear plate armor as humans and dwarves, the powerful strength of high-level warriors ensures the thickness of the armor, and it can still defend against bullets fired by kobold musketeers.
Jiage watched on the cliff that the orcs were out of the range of trebuchets and spells. He could only teleport back to the monastery to participate in the battle. Zhang Weidao asked him to go to the roof of the monastery to provide long-range spell support. When the war started, only his spells could harm the orcs.
Heroes and would-be heroes.
The mission of the other dozen high-level warriors is to surround and kill those few high-level warriors. With the talismans provided by Zhang Weidao, there should be no danger. As long as these high-level forces of the orc army are successfully eliminated, it will only take time for the remaining infantry to be eliminated.
The problem is, war in a plane of high martial arts and high demons is so unreasonable.
Soon the orc army regrouped and prepared to continue attacking the monastery. They reassembled the battering ram that was not completely damaged, and the orc warriors and senior warriors holding shields pushed it to attack the city gate. The bullets of the kobold musketeers bounced off the city gate.
aside.
They quickly approached the city gate despite the hail of bullets. The catapults fired by the trebuchets were blocked by the orc leader and captain who were escorting him. Zhang Weidao ordered the kobold musketeers to shoot freely, while he and a dozen veterans prepared to break the city.
An instant ambush.
Under the city wall, the orcs hit the city gate against falling rocks and rain of bullets. Soon the rivets and bolts of the city gate became loose and fell off one by one. The crumbling city gate burst open in the final impact, and the orc vanguard shouted loudly.
Rush into the city.
As a result, as soon as the leading troops stepped into the city, cans filled with kerosene were smashed on the ground on the road behind them, setting off a raging fire. Now even the stupid orcs would know that they were ambushed.
The orcs who broke into the ambush circle were in a state of shock and had not yet recovered. Zhang Weidao had already rushed forward and brought the orc leader and the captain into the attack range. The rampant attitude of one man challenging four strong orcs made the orc captain and the captain ten thousand.
The captain's hatred for Zhang Weidao is overwhelming. This is a rhythm that does not take them seriously at all!
