Chapter 29: Attack and Defense (4)

Another salvo began, and the overwhelming feathered arrows swept through again, but unfortunately the effect became even worse. The orcs had found a good way to reduce casualties, and that was to hide behind the siege engines. Due to the angle, after following the siege vehicle, these orcs only need to raise the shield in their hands to block the feathered arrows coming from above, without worrying about the threat from other angles.

In this way, it will be difficult for human shooters to inflict a large number of casualties on attacking orcs. Seeing this, the human shooter commander in charge of the command immediately gave the order to shoot slowly. The so-called slow fire requires the archer to aim at the target as much as possible when shooting, and to slow down the speed of the shot in exchange for a higher hit rate. The intention of the human archer commander is very simple, that is, to kill and injure the orcs as much as possible, and try to suppress the speed of the orcs' advance, even if the effect is not good, you can't sit idly by and watch the orcs approach under the city walls, right?

In the two rounds of salvo just now, the elite archers to whom Ryan belonged did not make a move, and that was because of Ryan's order, in Ryan's opinion, if a group of elite archers also carried out this kind of salvo, it would be a waste of their talent. From the beginning of the orc attack to the present, Ryan has been calmly observing everything in front of him, the orcs have gained a lot of experience in a few days of siege warfare, and the method they have adopted today can indeed greatly reduce casualties, but there is also a fatal problem, that is, when these orcs reach the city wall alive, their number is not very large, and they cannot cause too much trouble to the human defenders with superior forces.

Obviously, the orcs could not let this happen, and when the first orc soldiers were about to reach the city walls, the orc positions in the distance began to surge, and another group of orc soldiers joined the siege of the city. This second group of 10,000 orc soldiers used the same method as the previous group, and quickly rushed to the Thor Fortress under the cover of stone-throwing vehicles and siege vehicles.

Ryan watched all this silently, he had already thought of a countermeasure in his heart, seeing that the orc attack force was getting closer and closer to the city wall, he could even see the hideous faces clearly, as well as the pair of red eyes, Ryan gave an order: "Colin, you disperse immediately, and each of you is responsible for a section of the city wall." Focus on shooting the orcs carrying wooden ladders, and take out the guys hiding behind the siege vehicles when you have the chance, so as to deal the maximum damage to the enemy's morale. ”

As soon as Ryan gave the order, these elite shooters immediately trotted all the way into the area they were responsible for, and the closest to Ryan was Colin himself. Colin stood firmly on the ground with his feet firmly bent, his body slightly bent, his right hand reached out of his back, and he skillfully drew a feathered arrow from his quiver, and his eyes were fixed on an orc with his head exposed, and the fellow poked his head out from time to time to observe the situation on the wall, and then conveyed it to his companions, and at the same time guided them in the direction of their progress.

Colin silently calculated the distance and position, put the feather arrow in his hand on the bowstring, and when the orc showed his head again, Colin pulled the bowstring suddenly, and released the bowstring without waiting for the bowstring to be full, and he didn't deliberately aim at it, and the feathered arrow flew out with a swish. The special arrow ruthlessly ** the orc's head, immediately took the orc's life, this orc's companion didn't know what was going on, how could the companion who had been guiding himself in the direction just now, fall down softly all of a sudden?

It wasn't until the orc fell to the ground that his companions noticed that his face had been pierced by a feathered arrow, and the blood stained his entire head, and it was still flowing downward, that the orc's companion knew that his companion, who had just been alive and kicking, was dead, dead under the human feathered arrow.

A grumpy orc was a good friend of the dead orc, and he couldn't accept the fact that his friend died in front of him, and even though he was not young, he jumped out from behind the siege engine with the weapon in his hand, and shouted at the walls.

Of course, Colin couldn't understand what the orc was shouting, and although he had been in Thor's Fortress for many years, he had not learned the language of the orc. At this moment, in Colin's eyes, this was simply a target to send them into, and Colin smiled evilly and drew another feather arrow and put it on the bowstring.

Before Colin could pull the bowstring, a feathered arrow flew out not far from him, and hit the screaming orc's mouth with unmistakable accuracy, and the sharp arrow pierced directly through the orc's mouth, and castrated, and passed through the back of the orc's neck. If it weren't for the feathers stuck to the tail of the feathered arrow, the feathered arrow might have pierced.

Colin turned his head to see that it was another elite shooter he had selected for Ryan, and he shouted angrily, "Damn it, Thomas, you kid always fight against me, and now you dare to rob me?"

The shooter named Thomas was about 20 meters away from Colin, and he listened to Colin's words word for word, but he didn't answer immediately, but once again drew a feathered arrow and shot it into the leg of a beast carrying a wooden ladder, and the orc screamed, could no longer stand, and fell to the ground, and the wooden ladder he resisted on his shoulder also slipped down.

Looking at his results with satisfaction, the shooter Thomas turned back to Colin and said, "Boy, don't always put on a captain's show, you are now the same as me, aren't you all a small soldier under other people?"

"You ......" Colin was so angry by Thomas's words that he wanted to curse a few more words, but saw Thomas draw another feathered arrow and shoot another orc to the ground, and the orc was about to support his companion who had been hit in the thigh before.

"Ahh Thinking of this, Colin immediately drew a feathered arrow and aimed it at an orc carrying a wooden ladder and sent the bowstring away.

The bowstring snapped, the feathered arrows shuttled, the blood burst out, and the target fell to the ground. Colin looked at his masterpiece with satisfaction, drew another feathered arrow, and began to search for the next prey.

Ryan watched Colin and Thomas secretly fight, a smile on the corner of his mouth, and this effect was exactly what he wanted. Seeing that the orcs who were attacking the city had to put their feet full of footsteps, trying to block the vital points on their bodies with shields, but they were still killed by a sudden cold arrow from time to time, it seems that their plan is being implemented well.

Although the members of Ryan's archery team have excellent archery skills, they are too few after all, and the other archers are far inferior to them in archery, and they can only use the number to suppress the speed of the orc's advance, usually an orc shows a flaw, there will be a dozen or even dozens of arrows to greet him, if the orc fails to dodge, he will definitely be killed by random arrows in the first time.

The slow firing of ordinary archers and the sniper tactics of elite archers greatly slowed down the advance of this first group of orcs, and although they were brave, they were not fools, and ran out of the siege engine for nothing. However, as long as the orcs hid behind the siege engines and used the shields in their hands to block the parts of their bodies that might be exposed, the human archers could not help them, and only occasionally the unlucky orcs were caught by the members of Ryan's archer team and killed with one arrow.

The phalanx of the second group of orcs had already entered the range of the human catapults in a loose formation, and they had seen how their companions had passed through this area, and they all honestly hid behind their siege engines, or stared at the sky, and flexibly dodged according to the incoming stone projectiles.

The second group of orcs carried only wooden ladders and siege engines, not stone-throwing vehicles. The stone throwers that the Serpent Clan was able to use today were all put in when their first attacking forces attacked. Now that the Serpent Clan's second assault force has pressed on, the catapult they used before does not have enough space to move flexibly to avoid the blows of the human catapult.

In this case, those orc stone-throwing carts simply stopped moving and threw stone projectiles with all their might, suppressing the human defenders on the walls of Thor's fortress to the greatest extent and buying more time for their own army. The most direct consequence of the orcs' crazy use of catapults to throw stone bullets is that in just ten minutes of attacking with human catapults, most of these orcs' catapults were destroyed, but the orcs didn't care about this loss, because their catapults basically had no ammunition, and a few of them actually had to manipulate their orcs to run dozens of meters away to carry the stone bullets thrown by humans.

However, the orc catapult also caused considerable results, destroying at least 10 human catapults and hundreds of human warriors, and greatly suppressed the fire of human archers on the city wall against their companions, and even Ryan's team, 1 unlucky guy was hit head-on by this stone bullet and was killed on the spot.

Ryan watched helplessly as one of his men fell in a pool of blood in the distance, and it was the same 100-kilogram stone projectile that had been thrown by humans in the past. The orcs overloaded the use of the stone throwing car, and it was surprising that they could throw such a heavy stone projectile, of course, the orc did not do it without a price, that is, the elasticity of the catapult rod of the stone throwing car was greatly reduced until it was damaged.

"Whew!" Another 100-kilogram stone bullet roared towards the Thor Fortress, Ryan heard the sound and immediately looked up, but was surprised to find that the stone bullet was actually flying towards the position where he was standing. Ryan subconsciously wanted to run away quickly to dodge, but as soon as he moved, he stood in place, because there were also Alendor, Bart and several other human warriors beside him, of course he and Elendor could dodge, but what about the others, could they watch them die?

It wasn't Ryan's style to leave his comrades behind, and he decided to give it a go.

In the sky, the stone bullet whistled and flew nearer;

Beside him, Bart was already frightened and at a loss;

Ryan, on the other hand, made a quick decision and quickly recited the magic spell......
