Chapter 110 Retreat
The arrow rain continued to fall like rain. It seemed to be very powerful, but the actual lethality was quite limited. However, Lin Bing's eyesight was unspeakable, and his command in the war was remarkable. He actually had the courage to let go of the enemy's powerful vanguard troops and allow these powerful pig-headed men and taurens to the city. Instead, he concentrated long-range forces to attack the cat man and snake man troops with weak defense. It is controversial whether the defense of the snake man troops here is weak...
These snake people have human upper body and long snake tails on the lower body, just like Nuwa in classical Chinese mythology. Because of this long tail, they have no legs and can only rely on their long tails to twist forward like snakes. However, the thick snake scales on the lower body have very good defense. Knife and axe may not be able to stop it, but bows and arrows are indeed difficult to cause fatality. We are only talking halfway here, don't forget that they have human upper body, because their tails are different from human legs after all, and they are strong
skeleton support, so although they can move freely on land, like fish in water, and climb city walls like snakes, the fatal weakness is that this long tail cannot support the weight of the upper body that is too heavy. This restricts the defense of the snake man troops. The upper body, which may be damaged most frequently, is in trouble and cannot equip heavy armor, so they usually wear only the simplest leather armor, and some poor people are even more naked...
Such characteristics have led to the severe damage caused by this group of climbers under the baptism of this rain of arrows!
The orc Captain Wan had to admire the wisdom of the other party's commander. The other party definitely consciously made him underestimate the enemy. There were only less than ten thousand new recruits on the city wall, tempting him to make an immediate judgment on siege. Then, during the attack, he sent a hidden archer to attack his weak troops with a strong purpose. You must know that although the pig-headed men and even the taurens in the front row were powerful, they lacked siege equipment, and it was actually extremely difficult for them to break through the high and thick city walls of the other party. In this regard, even the elite pure-blooded orc troops led by him rushed to the city, they could not jump on their own. Only the cat man and snake man following the back row had the ability to attack directly.
With its powerful climbing and jumping ability, the cat man can use the tall troops in the front row to jump up directly, climb the city wall, and then climb into the city to attack; among them, the beautiful ones can even directly break into the defensive troops on the city, which is the first choice for the siege troops.
The latter snake people naturally do not have such good jumping ability, but they have long tails to lose, but they have long tails to succeed. They have the ability to snake in the vertical plane and can swim directly to the city. Of course, it has great limitations. One is that the speed is not very fast, and the other is that they completely expose their weak upper body to the enemy, so they need cover.
But in general, the orcs without siege equipment can expect these two types of troops to rush in and open the city gate for them. It really depends on these internal fighting troops to cross the arhats to the city... The ten thousand men's captain was sweating for a while after thinking about it.
He ordered the entire army to retreat!
The orcs did not hesitate at all and retreated like a tide! On the way backing, the Taurus kindly picked up some injured people and then carried them on the back of the cow. They could do good deeds and use them as shields... Who said these guys were honest?
The pig-headed people were also forced to retreat in the end, and they needed to block the arrows, which made these muscular men with underdeveloped minds very angry!
Lin Bing on the top of the city saw that the opponent retreated, and hurriedly ordered everyone to use inferior wooden arrows to shoot upwards to complete the extended shooting of the enemy. Anyway, before coming to defend the city, he had already been very foresighted and prepared a large number of inferior bows and arrows that were urgently made. This round of random shooting is mostly not to kill the enemy, but to disgust the enemy, create more wounded people, and to attack the enemy's anger.
Obviously, his goal was achieved. Many enemies were slightly injured when they were shot. Although they were not deeply involved, no matter who had a bad arrow on his body, he would never feel much better? God knows whether this rusty arrow will cause him to be infected with tetanus? Oh my God! There is also a wooden arrow, and the arrow is a pure iron nail! Sister!
The morale of this army was temporarily lowered. It was in sharp contrast with the cheers of the people on the city wall. The Minister of War ordered the troops to rest on the spot, and all the wounded were handed over to civilians to guard them to minimize non-combatary reductions... This was impossible. There was no supporting medical team yet. A large number of people spontaneously climbed the city wall, sent water and simple food, and then helped or used a simple stretcher to bring the injured warriors to the city wall. Most of these wounded soldiers were local recruits, but they were treated like heroes with a brave fighting style. In fact, there were very few dead people who defended the city this time, and the orcs who attacked the city were not real threats. Only a small number of the emergent people were unfortunately killed by the Centaur Shooter!
All the post-war affairs in the city were in full swing. Under the command of Lin Bing, the city was carried out in an orderly manner... Soon, the city restored its original strongest defense! The only question now is whether the enemy will attack again? The Minister of War was unsure of this. Although he was a follower of His Majesty, he did not have the ability like a thief and could not contact Lin Tian directly. He could only judge based on his own experience. However, he was very detailed in his master's abilities, and firmly believed that even if the orcs outside the city left and when they arrived at their location, they would not have any impact on the battle in the south. He made up his mind that if the enemy left, he would follow the master's 16-word tactical policy and lead the elite troops out of the city to harass him. It would be possible to delay some time!
Will he still attack? This choice has never appeared in the mind of the proud orc captain, and he never thought about this problem.
He ordered the troops to retreat not far away, set up camps, and then commanded his subordinates to log wood, and he had to find the ground. He, who has always been brave, even the officers and soldiers of the army, thought so. There were only more than 10,000 human soldiers, and our army had 10,000 people. How to fight, one was worth three. Today I suffered a secret loss. When I prepared the siege equipment, this city would definitely be a dish. At that time, the three armies would win the first place. Your Majesty would definitely reward him well. He could not say that he would get an Iron Cross Medal if he accidentally got it! Haha!
He gave the troops an order, and after breaking the city, he allowed the troops to move freely and rest for a day... Do you think this order is normal?
You are wrong! It's so outrageous!
