Chapter 147 Tragic Victory

The orcs sat around the bonfire and ate next to their companion's body. Sometimes it is also beaten for a larger piece of bread.

After eating and drinking, the orcs chased each other with torches and sang and danced drunkenly around the bonfire. It seemed that they did not come to attack the city, but traveled to participate in the bonfire party.

Taking this opportunity, human beings also arranged for soldiers to take turns to rest and go down for dinner.

Human casualties in the city are not small, more than 20 killed, more injured, and more than 60 soldiers have lost their combat effectiveness.

The wounded soldiers lay side by side under the root of the wall, and the doctor shuttled between them and was busy treating the wounded soldiers. Moans, crying, unconscious wounded soldiers talking nonsense, the whole mess.

The orcs stopped attacking, and humans were able to take a breath. Sulu arranged a sentry, carried the wounded soldiers to the government office, gathered the doctors in the city to treat them, and let the exhausted soldiers rest.

The residents of the city also automatically went to rescue the wounded soldiers. The government office was full of crying and painful moans of the wounded soldiers.

......

It seemed that the orcs were tired of playing with fire. In the middle of the night, just as the defenders at the top of the city thought that the orcs would no longer attack, and when they were just a little slack, the orcs' attack began again.

At night, the orc's eyes were illuminated by torches and turned into green, blue or yellow, shining small lanterns.

At dinner, the orcs drank more or less the wine found in the nearby village, sprayed the mixed smell of wine and bad breath, stretched out their sharp claws, and climbed up the city wall along the ladder.

Don't look at the orcs who can't take any advantage of the dwarves, but look down on the orcs, because the dwarves are strong in combat effectiveness, well equipped, and take advantage of the unstable foothold of the orcs as soon as they go ashore.

In front of these human beings, especially these human beings who have not been at war for hundreds of years, the cruel momentum of the orcs alone has scared many human soldiers.

When it gets dark, human beings inevitably feel sleepy.

And many habits of the beasts still maintain the nature of beasts.

Day and night out is also one of them.

When it is dark, the dog with long gray or yellow hair, the mouth and kiss is long, and the dog with sharp ears cheers up and barks at the city.

These dogs rushed to the edge of the wall on all fours and seemed to climb up with their claws. The human soldiers in the city looked at the countless faint green pupils in the dark and were frightened.

Have these soldiers who have never fought or even trained seriously have seen such a ferocious enemy in front of them? You can throw stones from the wall and pour oil. Even if it's full, you can't ask them to be higher. Listening to the painful moans of the wounded soldiers, many soldiers' eyes sparkled with fear.

The wind blew, the cold wind blew over the city, and the fire in the distant village burned more vigorously.

Many ladder hooks appeared on the stack of the city wall, and another attack began.

This time, the dogmen took the lead. They stretched out their scarlet tongues, their sharp claws to pick up the simple ladder, used their hands and feet, and climbed up with gasping.

A group of werewolves followed closely, staring at their green eyes and showing their sharp teeth.

The soldiers on the tower were full of strength and chopped with a big knife and stabbed with a spear. From time to time, dogs screamed and fell on their back. The wall was full of hairy dog claws and wolf claws that had been cut off.

Between the werewolves falling, the people pushed down the ladder with wooden sticks in horror. A string of werewolves hanging on the ladder screamed in despair and fell to the ground heavily.

Sulu walked back and forth in the city in black fish scales. Where there was any danger, he went up to help kill for a while. His face was covered with blood, and his armor was stained with many pieces of meat, pieces of organs and orc hair, which looked horrible.

......

The siege lasted another day.

On this day, Sulu personally supervised the battle at the head of the city. The soldiers also knew what would happen if the city was destroyed, so they tried their best to save the wall.

The orcs threw down a dead body and retreated.

There are many dead bodies under the city wall, and the city also suffered heavy casualties.

In the melee, Sulu, the owner of the city, was injured in his right shoulder, and blood oozed out of the seam of the armor, mixed with the blood stained outside. If you don't look carefully, you can't see it.

He tried his best to endure the severe pain and patrolled the city as if nothing had happened.

There are not many fire oil and stones. If there are no more reinforcements, I'm afraid it won't last for a few days.

Su Lu was tired and painful, and his wound kept bleeding. He really couldn't hold on. He told Yu He, who was with him, to arrange for soldiers to take a shift to rest and stand guard, and hurried back to the city's main government office to dress the wound.

There are rumors in the city:

"The city owner is also injured..."

"The city can't be preserved..."

"The orcs and reinforcements are behind, and they will come soon..."

"Rolling stones and oil are gone!"

"Escape for your life..."

In the middle of the night after the second day after the orcs besieged the city, soldiers quietly fled in the city.

In the morning of the third day, Sulu was pulled from the eastern wall of Wusu City to the western city head, where he saw an unforgettable scene:

I don't know who opened the gate. In the morning light, the flow of people was like a long dragon, crowding out of the west gate and going west along the road.

Some people drive on the carriage with large bags and small boxes, carrying huge packages with breathlessness, and some people walk purposelessly with empty hands and nothing.

The poor countryman staggered in the footsteps of a few sheep. The woman held the child in one hand and the older child in the other hand moved his feet with difficulty in the cold autumn wind. The shoes on the eldest child's feet were lost at some point. His feet were purple and swollen with cold, and he cried loudly while pulling Pulling the corners of my mother's clothes.

In addition to civilians, there are also many soldiers.

Sulu was furious when he saw this.

These soldiers wore civilian clothes and pretended to be civilians, hanging their heads in the fleeing procession.

The man in blue is called Zhao Xiaoer. There is a patch on the shoulder of that dress and a big package on his back is Li Quanyou...

Just a day ago, they were soldiers under their own jurisdiction, leading the country's money and eating the offerings of the people. Only two days after the orcs called, they abandoned the city and fled!

Su Lu looked at the flow of people on the road with a complicated expression. He turned his head and ordered Yu He: "Notify the officers and soldiers of the city that the people can go in and out freely, but if the soldiers dare to escape, they will be killed without mercy!"

Yu He smiled bitterly: "Your Excellency, how do you think the gate is opened?"

“......”

"Okay, inform my guards to come and guard the city gate."

"Your Excellency, let's close all the gates, so that no one can leave and the soldiers can't run away. In case the war is tight, there are still civilians available. Now, there is only one empty city left to run, and soldiers alone can't resist the attack of the orcs."

"No, let the people go. We don't have the ability to protect them, and we are ashamed of them, let alone have the right to ask them to wait here to die, but to treat them differently and not allow soldiers and officials to escape. Humph, eat the country's salary and run away when there is danger!" Sulu stared bitterly at the flow of people fleeing on the road: "Peace has been too long!"

Returning to the East Gate, the number of soldiers guarding the city on the wall suddenly decreased by half.

But strangely and fortunately, the orcs in the city miraculously retreated?

Wusu City was lucky enough to survive.

The reason is actually very simple.

You have to thank the dwarf prince Yan Dao.

When the brave and resourceful Highness Yan Dao chased the orcs, he always picked bright clothes and armored them. As a result, the orc's high-level and middle-level officers were killed by him, leaving only a few captains to fight separately.

Without the unified command of senior officers, several captains did not listen to anyone. As a result, the orcs attacked for two days and found that the wall in front of them was not so easy to attack, and human beings were not as weak as they seemed, but the food snatched from the town had been eaten up.

The orcs changed their minds. Many orcs began to think about the heavenly life in the town again, and several captains thought together: Simply! There are several ways to fight guerrillas in the surrounding towns. Although the road is a little farther, the orcs march very fast. After all, they can run on the ground. It also saves time and life on the wall in front of you.

Several towns far around thought it was all right, but now they suffered and were completely harmed by the orcs.

Fighting on the flat ground, human beings are not opponents of orcs at all. Sulu did not dare to send soldiers to annihilate these orcs, so he had to watch the black smoke and screams in the small towns around the city.

The human soldiers on the wall are hateful and afraid, and their teeth are itching.

Occasionally, leaking humans come to the city, and the behavior of these orcs in human mouths is even more creepy.

As Sulu said, human peace has been too long.

This can be seen from the speed of reinforcements.

Their efficiency was so low that it was not until ten days later that the reinforcements sent by the imperial capital came slowly.

Sulu sent soldiers with a large army and began to annihilate these vicious aliens one by one.

After more than 2,000 casualties, the orcs were wiped out.

Wusu City has calmed down.

The twelve surrounding towns are calmer, and many towns have completely disappeared, leaving only black ruins, and large groups of scavengers entering and leaving the ruins.

The news is different as the fled people spread quickly on the mainland:

The orcs are extremely ferocious!

It is extremely vicious, and the ferocity is no longer enough to describe their ferocity!

More and more powerful orcs are preparing to attack!

There are already hundreds of well-equipped orcs ready to go in the Porta Mountains!

Most of the orcs in this group are dogs, and the next batch are werewolves and bear men!

Rumors are spreading like wings...
