Chapter 202, Mouse Siege Battle
Outside the city wall, the shouts of killing gradually dissipated.
The soldiers who fought all night sat on the ground, feeling exhausted.
Even the generals looked tired.
This was the third day of the siege, and Gu Erdan didn't give the other party a chance to breathe.
Attack during the day! Attack at night! It’s really not a stop!
The semi-undead orcs are not tired and don't care about such a wheel battle.
But the human army was not good at all. They could not even take a break in batches when facing the orc attacks that were digging tunnels, climbing walls, setting fires, and harassing all-round means.
Because these orcs were too noisy when attacking, they were so yelling that they couldn't sleep.
In addition, the orcs are too strong, and everyone is afraid that when they open their eyes, they will be unable to sleep even more.
It was just a three-day round of attack, but no good results were achieved.
Apart from fighting over more than 6,000 opponents, the orc coalition forces were unable to gain a foothold on the city wall.
Every time I barely attacked, the opponent would immediately catch fire.
Outside the city wall, an orc who was less than 1m6 in a complete set of iron pagoda armor was frowning and looking at this side, chewing grass leaves in his mouth.
Yes, it's just eating grass.
In order to survive among orcs, these rats and people have an outrageous evolution direction and can survive by eating weeds.
Not only grass, but also tree roots, bark, and leaves, they can chew and eat them.
But as the leader, this rat man naturally cannot survive so much that he can't even afford to eat.
The reason why he eats grass is just a habit he has developed over the years.
Next to this leader, there were a large number of rat people standing. They were officers in the Rat Man tribe, either centurion or thousand-man commanders.
These guys also wore iron pagoda armor, but they were different from those orcs who were burly and looked like iron towers after wearing armor.
These rats were wearing iron pagoda armor. They looked less like iron towers from a distance, but more like canned lunch meat.
The three short bodies combined with thick iron armor led to their bodies developing horizontally.
But with such a funny look, no one can laugh at this time.
All of the attacks in these three days were handled by the Rat Man.
It was also the siege that had not been interrupted in the city for these three days that almost caused the allied forces in the city to suffer from rat phobia.
A dense number! The characteristic of rushing in! The defense that can't be killed no matter how hard you fight! It's as fast as an outrageous speed!
This group of rats told the human coalition with practical actions, what does it mean to not use bean bags as dry food?
Looking at the troops that were retreating again, the rat man scratched the hair on his head, feeling a little worried.
In the past three days, he has used all the strategies he can think of.
What kind of fire attack, what kind of tunnel, what kind of flying rats fall from the sky, what kind of sneak attack at night.
As a result, it was useless and was blocked by the other party.
He even tried to make siege weapons, such as catapults.
However, he overestimated his abilities.
The catapult cart that I worked hard to make did throw the stones out, but unfortunately it only threw a little bit.
It threw it out with a whoosh and landed on the ground with another snap.
The stone caster was like a spoon, and directly buckled the rat man in front of him with a stone.
Non-war loss loss x3
There are also siege crossbows. With a hunching sound, the bowstrings opened, and the crossbow arrows drew a curve and hit the younger brother in front, with a range of less than five meters.
Non-war loss loss x5
In addition, there are towers, siege vehicles, ladders, etc., all of which failed without exception.
The tower fell down due to its heavy head and light feet, and the siege tanks could not move, and the ladders did not calculate the height at all, resulting in a much lower height.
The rats rushed up with the ladder. After finding that the ladder was not long enough, they ran back with the ladder.
Before being rebelled and killed by the angry little brothers, the boss of the rat man with a treacherous idea finally gave up on his attempt to die.
After his disaster, the casualties of the Rat Man tribe in the accident were almost over 100.
Turning around and calling several thousand men and centurions together, the Rat Man Boss began the pre-war meeting.
"The king gave us such a heavy task! We did not achieve any military achievements! This made other orcs view us! This gave us how we gain a foothold in front of the king! Ah!"
The boss of the Rat Man who had suffered a few days of hard work was already out of his anger, but the other Rat Man captains were loose and had no regular appearance.
A thousand-man ruled his helmet and looked impatient.
"But the king has said that we just let us attack, just let us attack, just let us do our best to attack the city. You have to take your own initiative and attack the city with all your strength."
"That's it! The king is still going to make a porridge... cook with water?"
"It's a way to push the boat."
"Yes! I will push the porridge along the way! If you defeat the city, it will delay the king's plan! Can you bear the responsibility?"
Obviously, the rat man is not a monolithic part.
Or in other words, the orcs are not a solid piece of iron. Except for those races with strong discipline and clear superior and subordinate systems, other orc tribes can be said to be intrigues.
They squandered all their already low IQ in the internal strife, and were determined to pull the current boss off and be the new boss themselves.
Because of their insufficient IQ, they can only think about it. At most, they can talk wildly during meetings. They will still fight when they should, and they are braver than anyone else.
After all, I don’t have enough brains, so I can only rely on my merits.
A thousand-man commander was about to shoot himself into the city as a cannonball while testing the catapult, and then he buckled him on other rats with a spoon...
When the Rat Man saw that these little bastards dared to refute him, he got furious on the spot and directly quarreled with more than 40 people.
Everyone shows off their military achievements, compares their achievements, talks about loyalty, and tries to suppress the other party.
The Rat Man Boss is worthy of being the boss. As the first leader of the Rat Man tribe to surrender to Gu Erdan, it can be said that all the guys present were attracted by him.
Therefore, in terms of placing students and evaluating students, the boss of the rat man has innate advantages.
That's really a quarrel with a hundred people. No matter what you say, he can always respond with one sentence.
I am the chief of ten thousand men personally named by the king! I am all involved in the gang! Who dares not accept me!
Everyone here was arguing, and the younger brothers were still rushing upwards, and more than half of the centurions didn't come at all.
They thought it would be more reliable to lead troops to attack the city instead of having a useless meeting with these bugs.
Maybe you will really take down the city! At that time, the ten thousand men will be replaced!
What? Will the plan you think will affect your victory?
It doesn’t matter, they have already thought about it. If the king really blames it, at worst they can open the floodgates and let the boss attack them!
Anyway, the final result is the same.
The battle lasted for another day and night. In the early morning of the fifth day, the human coalition forces that forcibly withstood the attack of rats had reached the brink of collapse.
There were no reinforcements, no rest, no hope, and the morale of the coalition forces, which were almost half of the damage to the war, was sluggish.
If it weren't for the fact that there was no way out and that their family members were in the nobles' rank, they might have disbanded and fled.
The damage of tens of thousands of people has resulted in the lives of more than 5,000 rats.
The Ratman Army also suffered more than half of the damage to the battle, and the centurion suffered 41 people. Most of them were killed by the opponent's masters and mages when they rushed upwards.
Three men were killed in battle. One of them hit the old man in the face when he was digging the tunnel. He was killed by the old man and several masters.
A subordinate led his divine troops to the sky, relying on his own advantage of being able to slide in the air and fly, jumping into the city from a high place.
Well, that's right, only him and his subordinates, and the number of people did not exceed 1,000.
The 1,000 people landed directly in the other party's command center. The scene was bloody and almost scared the other party's nobles.
After the first battle, all the flying squirrels were killed, and the nobles lost more than 70%.
If the old man hadn't fought desperately with a few nobles who could fight, and finally waited for reinforcements to arrive, they would probably have been wiped out.
Chapter completed!
