Blood Dragon

It was noon, and the gathering of greenskins under the city was becoming more and more worrying.

The green skins under the city pushed a siege tower, or something like a siege tower.This shoddy mechanism is made of pieces of wood and is full of holes for the wind to leak through.It seems that they want to use this thing to launch a probing offensive.

During this time, the greenskins slowly but surely destroyed the outer defenses.This work was not hindered by the defenders, but took this opportunity to allow the militiamen who had just picked up their muskets to practice actual shooting.

The reason for choosing this location is that there are no city defense cannons on the city walls here.

"My lord, do you want to get some more cannons?" a knight asked Perrin.The knight was still very young, almost a child.In fact, he was just a recruit in training a month ago, a subordinate.Although the knight mustered up his courage and stood on the top of the wall with his chest straight, his face couldn't help turning pale.

"No...no need." Perrin replied.When Comer organized the early defensive preparations, he chose mobile artillery positions instead of fixed city defense artillery.In the city defense plan drawn up by Ke Mo, the field cannons were hoisted on the city wall, and the defense was arranged flexibly.Tragically most of the cannon were taken away and eventually lost in the previous Great War.Under the intentional or unintentional obstruction of the Sham people, the city of Oren was not replenished in time, so there are really not many cannons in the city now.But now there are three cannons on standby.Due to the viewing angle, the cannon cannot be seen under the city before firing.

"What do you say the greenskins want?" Perrin asked the young knight.

"My lord...they..."

"First, note that they only have one siege tower, so they mainly want to test the combat effectiveness of the defenders through battle. Second, they have a lot of shamans over there."

"I...I...I understand..." The young knight stammered and seemed at a loss because of nervousness.Perrin sighed.When Cuomo attacked, he took away all the knights, and those who remained were young people who had not yet completed their knight training.And those militias organized temporarily...as long as they can fire their muskets, Perrin will be very satisfied.

He didn't know what the "miracle" the archbishop meant. Could it have something to do with the weird instrument he was playing with all day?And why did the archbishop say "there will be no danger" so confidently?

"Bring the magicians!" Perrin sighed.It might be too late... Just as he thought of this idea, he saw a cloud of green smoke appear above the green leather queue below the city.

"Let everyone prepare to evacuate to the side! There are only a few musketeers left here." Perrin ordered.

Boss Blood Banner observed the effect of the magic.

In fact, the magic of green skins is much better than the magic of human beings from the "Eight Winds of Magic".Both convenient and powerful, the only fly in the ointment is that there is often such a small problem as cooking the caster's own brain.Also, this energy comes from the greenskins themselves, and requires a large army of orcs with high morale as a source of magic (fortunately, the morale of orcs is rarely low).

The magical attack effect is far better than expected.The green light waves bombarded the city wall, causing earth and rocks to splash from the top of the city.The shamans continued to work hard, and magic enveloped the entire city wall in an instant.During this time, the siege tower began to approach the city wall.

"Tell the shamans to gather their magic together and attack the positions where the cannons may be hidden." The boss of the blood banner ordered to a small boss beside him.

The flickering green light in the air condensed into a foot that was unprecedentedly large.That foot stomped heavily on the city wall again and again, each foot kicking up gravel.Many stones on the battlements were kicked away by Bigfoot.If there are soldiers hiding here, they are definitely not immune to magic.

But in reality, both sides watched the magic show with bated breath.By the time everything was over, the siege tower had already leaned against the city wall.

The defenders didn't have any counterattacks?Scared away?The blood flag boss was a little puzzled.According to his information, he already knew that the main force of the defenders in the city was actually a temporary militia.I don't know how these militias are fighting.

The walls of the city of Oren are built of stones, which are very strong, but if the guards lack courage, then it is meaningless.

Without waiting for the boss's order, a group of orcs roared "waaaagh!" and rushed towards the siege tower in front.The muskets on the walls on both sides fired, but the timing was not right. Most of the muskets fired before the orcs entered the effective range.And those musketeers seem to move very slowly... In theory, within the time the orcs rushed to the city wall from out of range, it would be enough for a qualified musketeer to shoot three times.But this time only a wave of gunfire was heard.The orcs rushed into the city along the siege tower with almost no loss.

"Boss! Let's go!" Seeing that the situation was very good, the remaining green skins who hadn't rushed forward were eager to try.

"What's the hurry!" The boss of the Blood Banner held his breath, and forcibly suppressed his subordinates' desire to attack.

His waiting came to fruition immediately, and there was a roar of artillery from the top of the city.After a brief interval, a second, a third.After a while, the greenskins who shouted "waaaaagh!" with high morale just now fled back with their heads in their arms.Then there was another volley of muskets on the walls.This time also didn't kill many green skins, but made them run faster.

"What the hell happened!" A little leader caught a guy who was just running without thinking, and he woke him up from a dizzy state with two consecutive old punches, and then asked loudly.

"Cannon...it's a cannon...sir..." the orc answered inarticulately.It is not clear whether he was frightened or knocked unconscious by these two old punches.

It's shotgun!Recent military innovations have developed a specialized shotgun shell - filled with metal blocks and covered with a soft layer of tin, wax, or the like.The moment the cannon is fired, the outer shell shell will shatter, and then the irregular metal pieces inside will become a storm of death.The boss of Blood Banner knows this kind of usage of the cannon... It can be said that one man is in charge of the other.If it is a field battle, shotguns are really useless, because the shooting distance is too short, and it is uncontrollable and easy to accidentally injure.But placed above the city wall with no space to dodge, the shotgun immediately became a terrifying weapon of destruction.Two cannons are enough to wipe out any enemy standing on the wall.

Any armor that can be worn on the body cannot withstand the bombardment of this weapon.The power of shotguns has been fully revealed just now—although there were several hundred boys in this group of orcs rushing to the top of the city, only two or three shots of shotguns cost more than half of them, and completely lost the rest of the greenskins to continue fighting The courage to flee back.

The little bosses scattered without the boss's order, and gathered the defeated soldiers together with machetes, axes, and fists.Then it took them another half a day to figure out the whole situation and tell the boss of Blood Banner.

"Boss, it looks like they got a pretty good guy!" Grubb came up in time.

By the time the greenskins were routed, the defenders had poured oil on the shoddy siege tower.If the green skin continues to come up, it happens that the tower and the green skin are braised together.

And the boss of Blood Banner has already said that today is just a test.Let's see if the humans on the opposite side can fight. This trial was very successful.

"Let's retreat first, and go see if the raft is ready!" The blood flag boss gave a vicious look at the siege tower in the distance.Be it the orcs or the goblins, after the explanations given by the defeated soldiers, they all agreed with the boss.The troops in the city couldn't fight, but they obviously prepared enough firepower.A group of boys were defeated so straightforwardly.

Soon, the boss of Blood Banner returned to his camp.

A few days ago, the leaders of the greenskins—or, more specifically, the Blood Banner boss himself—found a hole in the city's defenses.The entire city of Oren was built on a river, but there was no defense on that bridge.

As long as the bridge can be captured, or the bridge can be demolished, the entire city will be completely divided into two parts.Even better, the city wall facing the bridge is the most vulnerable section of the entire city wall, not even an arrow tower.Attacking from bridges saves worry and effort.In addition, the residents of the city rely almost entirely on the river for water. Once the bridge is controlled, it is tantamount to cutting off the city's water, at least the main water source.

To attack the bridge, goblins are busy building large rafts farther upstream.In the plan of the boss of Blood Banner, thirty rafts are needed, each of which can carry a hundred boys.Then the first wave of three thousand boys rushed to the bridge and firmly occupied the bridge.Then the raft slowly carried the second wave, and the third wave of boys went up.If all goes well, they will attack the city from the bridge.If it doesn't go well, find a way to tear down the bridge.

The progress of the raft satisfied the boss of Blood Banner, partly because a team of orc bullies—that is, orc veterans who had not recovered from their disabilities—was in charge of supervising the work.Orcs are not permanently disabled like humans, but they cannot fight until their limbs are regenerated.

After the inspection, he returned to his leader's tent, and by the way, he asked a policeman to bring a message to Talus, who was in charge of the command on the other side, telling him not to rush to attack.After this period of time, the greenskins have built a ferry, which can easily travel between the two sides of the river.

The boss of the blood flag sent all his subordinates away.Now he was alone in his huge chief's tent.No, it should be said that there is another one.

"Master." Mimilu came out from nowhere.Now the blood flag boss is very used to Mimilu's ability to appear anytime and anywhere.At the beginning, he was a little worried that it would be dangerous for Mimilu to enter and leave the green leather camp.Although the green skins definitely can't catch Mimilu, creatures with a keen sense of smell like Squigs and Wargs are a threat to Mimilu.But it turns out that this is completely overthinking. Mimilu is a veteran in identifying the direction of the wind and walking, and can always enter the leader's tent of the boss of the Blood Banner without incident.

Mimilu jumped onto the blood flag boss and rubbed against him.This furry feeling is actually pretty good.

Lucky to have Mimilu for company.Especially last time, Ke Mo's battle plan was placed in front of the boss of Blood Banner, and it was difficult to lose under such circumstances.

"How's it going in the city?" The boss of Xueqi asked softly.

"It's too big, and I couldn't find where the supreme commander said the master said. So in the end, I could only observe the situation in various places as the master said."

Mimilu began to explain, and the boss of Blood Banner took a pen and listed the defenders' arrangement that Mimilu had detected on the map.The map of Oren City in his hand was also brought by Mimilu from the city. It is a simple map specially sold to outsiders.Of course, this simple map is enough now.

In the past few days, Mimilu went in and out of the city, reporting to him all the arrangements of the defenders.
