Chapter 47 Siege of the Beast Camp

That night, after the original man stopped attacking, he took his own soldiers to inspect the camp of an orc rear camp. The back camp of the orcs is located at the main peak of the eight-sided slope. In fact, the name of the eight-sided slope is also derived from its main peak. This main peak rises from the mountains below like a hill, and it is surrounded by hillsides, and no other peaks are comparable to or connected to it. Therefore, the original people gave it a name called Bamyeon Slope. Over time, including the mountains below, it has been called the eight-sided slope.

The road from the north of the eight-sided slope to the south of the eight-sided slope is under the main peak of the eight-sided slope. Although the road below can't be seen on the main peak due to the obstruction of the mountains below, the road turns half a circle on the main peak of the eight-sided slope. However, in the later war, the road below was built by the original or orcs many times, and gradually became a road, and the cliffs blocking the main peak of the eight-sided slope overlooking the road were also cleaned up by the original or orcs. At that time, Bameng slope became a battleground for soldiers, and a strong fortress was also built on it, that is, the later Bamian Fort. But this is all about later, but it's okay to say it in advance.

The main peak of the current eight-sided slope is just a bare peak. It is surrounded by hillsides, but the top is flat and the area is not small. There is no problem with the garrison that accommodates thousands of people. So the orcs set up their back camp here. What the most popular thing is that there is a huge cave on the top of the mountain, which can be used to hide soldiers and hoard food. And the food hoarded by the orcs is indeed in this cave.

"General! The original man set up a camp and built defense under the mountain. I don't think they will retreat. The orc general Hu Yankari followed the side of the orc and reported in a low voice. Huyan is a big surname among orcs, just like the people surnamed Wang and Li in the earth world. There is no kinship between Huyanhun and Huyanping.

"Is it?" After listening to this, he sighed. According to this mountain situation, it is not easy for the original army to attack. Although the main peak of the eight-sided slope is surrounded by hills, only the south and west are relatively gentle. And there is only one road to the south that leads to the main peak. However, this mountain also has its disadvantages. That is, the main peak of the eight-sided slope is only more than 1,000 meters above sea level. Naturally, it can't reach the snow line, so there is nothing missing on the top of the mountain, but there is a lack of water. And if humans and animals want to live, they can't live without water. Orcs also have to drink water. How much water do we have?" The Capricorn was a little uneasy to ask.

"It is estimated that it will take half a month to return to the general." Hu Yan answered. He is not a man who lacks wisdom. While hoarding grain in the cave, he also opened a new stone well on the top of the mountain, and then used it to hoard water. Of course, the people behind the eight-sided slope also opened water in the cave, only in the era of shackle. There is no water on the eight-sided slope.

"Very good! How many soldiers do we have?" When he heard that the water on the top of the mountain was enough to last for half a month, he suddenly felt much better. He also asked Hu Yanshi about the soldiers.

"General Hui, we still have more than 1,200 soldiers." Hu Yanhan replied, "Now some of the soldiers who have nowhere to settle are concentrated in the cave."

"Very good!" The Capricorn nodded. For him, 1,200 people are enough to guard the main peak of the eight-sided slope.

At the foot of the mountain, the original people added fences and related defenses on the path facing the orc camp. At the same time, Zhang Zhentian and Yuqun divided their troops to guard the eight-sided slope passage. The other original soldiers took a rest. This time, Zhang Zhentian and the concubine brought 20,000 original troops to attack the orc battalion. Therefore, they are not afraid that the Capricorn on the mountain will have any movement.

The next day, it was dawn. Zhang Zhentian, Yu Qun and the generals in the camp gathered together. They studied how to defend the eight-sided slope camp. After that, it is natural to attack the orcs on the mountain. Although the orcs on the top of the mountain are surrounded by them, it is not impossible for the cooked duck to fly away again.

The generals argued for a while. Finally, everyone relatively agreed with Jiang Dongfang's opinion. That is, don't rush to send infantry to fight against the orcs. After all, the road to the top of the mountain is too narrow. If the orcs are sealed with bows and arrows and rolling wood from above, the original soldiers will be killed and injured. Therefore, the original army should first bombard the orcs on the mountain with long-range artillery fire. Anyway, they are now within the scope of the original strike.

After the strategy was agreed, Jiang Dongfang left the big account and returned to his camp. After that, the gun and truck were placed on the hillside in a position suitable for attacking the top of the mountain, and then the javelin and stones flew to the top of the mountain. Not only that, Jiang Dongfang also arranged for soldiers to dismantle and transport the giant catapults in the original village camp to the mountain. He knew that if he wanted to destroy the orcs' wall, it was the most useful for heavy giant equipment. The energy of these light crossbows and car catapults is still much smaller.

Anyway, with the beginning of Jiang Dongfang's army attack, the orcs on the mountain had no good life to live. Although the orc camp is above the original camp. Their direct vertical distance is also 40 to 50 meters, but this cannot affect the original equipment to attack them. However, the orc's bow and arrow can do nothing for the original people. After all, the original camp and the orc camp are not arranged straight up and down.

"General! The original people at the foot of the mountain bombarded our camp with a cataping machine. Hu Yanshou stumbled into the tent of the fortress. "Our soldiers guarding near the wall suffered heavy losses."

"What?" Hearing Hu Yanshi's words, he stood up in horror. It seems that these original people are not wine bags and rice bags! He cried bitterly in his heart. The main peak of this eight-sided slope is not far from the original camp below. If the originals keep attacking them with equipment, they will not fight closely. I'm afraid that before the reinforcements arrived, all the orcs on the top of the mountain would be stoned by the originals.

"The original man bombarded our camp with a cataping machine!" Hu Yanjian was stunned when he saw the Capricorn standing there, and he repeated his words again. The Capricorn raised his hand, and finally, he put down his hand again. "Let the soldiers guarding the wall hold on. If it really doesn't work, let them put a few fewer people on the wall every time, and the others will hide at the bottom of the wall.

Yes! General." Hu Yan saw the appearance of the Capricorn, and he had to retreat from the tent of the Capricorn. He originally wanted to help the soldiers guarding the wall to ask for their lives to see if they could temporarily evacuate the wall. Although he also knew that if the soldiers retreated, the consequences of the sneak attack would be unimaginable, he felt that the orc soldiers were killed on the top of the wall by the original people with a catapult.

After Hu Yanhun left, he sat back in the chair. His mind is thinking about how to break through. At present, the original man obviously wants to trap all the orcs on the mountain by siege and long-range attack. And if you don't want any other way, you have to wait to die. Thinking of this, the Capricorn stood up again from the chair. He walked back and forth in the tent. In the end, he made up his mind to take people down the western hillside if it didn't work! Thinking of this, he took a few close-fitting soldiers to leave the tent and walk to the west of the eight-sided slope.

At the foot of the mountain, the original long-range troops attacked the orc camp under the command of Jiang Dongfang for a day. In the afternoon, the orc camp became much quieter. This quietness, firstly, shows that there are far fewer people injured or killed by orcs; second, it means that the orcs may have hidden or evacuated the camp wall. As for what caused the silence of the orc camp, Jiang Dongfang could only guess, but Tian Zheng did not have to do so. He brought the merchant cavalry to the top of the mountain, and they took a thorough look at the situation in the orc camp in the air. At the same time, the merchant sheep cavalry who went to scout also shot an arrow at the bottom in mid-air. The orc soldiers made another mess under the attack of the merchant cavalry.

However, when the merchant sheep cavalry accidentally found that the goat had run to the west side of the eight-sided slope, they withdrew their troops and retreated to the camp. After all, the mission they went to was just reconnaissance. This found an important enemy situation, and it was necessary to return to the camp to hand over the order.
