Warhammer in a box

Chapter 15 Siege War

Tuk led his orcs and goblins to charge. As the lord, Tuk took the lead. A sturdy shield and a machete decorated with bone spurs were all his weapons.

"waaagh~" The orcs shouted their iconic war cry and rushed towards the human city in front of them. The catapults were still throwing boulders, and this time the boulders actually hit the target. A piece of stone hit a phalanx of spearmen under the city wall in an extremely precise parabola, and more than a dozen humans were smashed into meat paste on the spot.

Seeing their bodies splattered with the blood of their companions and the unrecognizable corpses on the ground, the surrounding soldiers immediately showed signs of fleeing.

And at this moment it was still Ludwig who stood up, holding his weapon high in his hand and standing on the city wall.

"The Emperor's followers, the Emperor's warriors! Do not be afraid of sacrifice! He is watching us! Hold the line!!!"

Ludwig made a voice that resounded throughout the battlefield. This voice was definitely louder than Ludwig's original voice. And at the moment when he shouted to hold the line, the morale of the soldiers was actually restored. The soldiers who were originally terrified suddenly became resolute.

Zhang Heng, who was watching all this from a God's perspective, was also attracted by this scene.

"Oh my god? These little guys can also use skills? Isn't this the Hold the Line skill line of the lord and the affairs officer? It increases close defense and morale! Awesome!!"

Zhang Heng was still observing the entire battlefield from a God's perspective; no information could escape his eyes.

Gurman, who was hiding not far from the battlefield, was getting impatient. The sound of the orcs' charge and the catapults' continuous firing were particularly harsh.

"Captain Gurman! Come on! We can take down those catapults!" An imperial knight was already a little impatient and asked Gurman.

"No! Wait a minute!"

"Captain! How long do we have to wait? Our compatriots are sacrificing themselves!"

"We must wait! The Emperor's voice in my head told me! We must wait a little longer!!! We have too few people!" Gulman said solemnly.

Zhang Heng also wanted to destroy these catapults. The dead humans were the source of his faith! However, there were still orc troops beside the catapults. If the main force of the orcs had not left far enough, they would support them at any time once the cavalry launched a charge.

How could 20 cavalrymen stop thousands of orcs? If they were held back for even a moment, the whole army would be wiped out.

Zhang Heng turned his attention to the other side again. Sure enough, these goblins were still using the same old tactics. Although they seemed to be attacking head-on, there were still nearly a hundred despicable goblin lurkers sneaking towards the city wall on the other side.

However, this time they were not facing the weak Imperial defenders, but a three-man Cadian combat group, and behind the battlements of the city wall were a hundred new recruits armed with bows and crossbows.

"Hey! Kid, don't be afraid. Tell your companions that these orcs are easy to kill. You will see our laser later. It's just a red light. You just shoot at it. Do you understand?"

A Cadian soldier named Ferrel in the group said to a young man who looked only fifteen or sixteen years old.

"Master Ferrer, I understand." It was obvious that the young man had never experienced a battle and was still a little nervous.

"Sir, hahahaha, please don't call me sir. I'm just a soldier. I can't bear the title of sir. Okay, don't be deserted, the greenskins are coming!" Ferrel's eyes became serious again.

Because Zhang Heng's voice sounded in his mind, these despicable lurkers had to be said to be hiding really well. If Zhang Heng hadn't told him the location, Ferrer really wouldn't have discovered it.

"11 o'clock! 500 range! Fire!"

As Ferrell gave the order to fire, three laser rifles began to continuously fire at the designated position. As dozens of lasers hit the place, the goblins that were originally lurking also revealed their figures.

The goblins had no idea what was happening. They only heard a buzzing sound and smelled the smell of barbecue from their companions. Since their stealth was broken, there was no need for them to be sneaky anymore. The short goblins rushed towards the city wall with their knives in hand.

"Hey! Kid! Stand up and shoot!" Ferrer slapped the guy next to him on the head.

"Oh oh, right away!" The young man clumsily aimed the crossbow at the goblins, then pulled the trigger. The crossbow arrow actually hit a goblin's head accurately.

"I hit it! I hit it!!" the young man shouted excitedly, and the rest of the crossbowmen also started shooting. At once, the charging goblins fell to the ground one after another.

"Hey! Boy! Don't stop. Don't slack off during a battle! Rewind the string!"

"I know! I'm sorry, Master Ferrell!"

"Hey! What's your name?"

"My name is Bourne!"

"Bourne, Bourne, you are quite talented, come and follow me from now on!"

"Really? That's great! Master Ferrell!"

There were only a hundred goblins, and although the crossbowmen on this wall were all new recruits, they still managed to kill the goblins with zero casualties.

"Everyone gather! There are no enemies on this side anymore, support the front battlefield!" Ferrer and his team also picked up their guns and stood up. With Zhang Heng watching, there were no enemies trying to launch a sneak attack on this side of the city wall, so there was no need to send anyone to defend it.

At this time, the fighting situation on the front battlefield was extremely tragic.

Thousands of orcs could not shoot at them at all, and it was a foregone conclusion that they would be forced to the city. The psychological quality of the archers and crossbowmen was still too poor. As new recruits, although they would not flee, the rain of arrows from the orcs would still disrupt their archery rhythm.

Looking at their comrades who were shot by arrows and fell to the ground wailing, some people were so nervous that they couldn't even wind up their nerves.

"Stand up! Wind up! Everybody, don't stop! Think about your families, think about your children, do you want them to be put into the pot and cooked and eaten by those greenskins!!" A few veterans acted as the backbone and woke up those soldiers who were beginning to be dazed.

Marcus and the Cadian soldiers were constantly killing the seemingly strongest orcs. Due to the lack of sufficient logistics, their ammunition had to be saved for the most critical moment as the number of orcs was simply too large.

"Archery! Keep shooting and don't stop! These humans can't hold on any longer!" Looking at the humans on the city wall who were unable to raise their heads because of being crushed by his archers and corpse dumpers, Tuke felt more and more excited.

"You big idiots! Tear down their city gates for me! Boys, bring up the ladders so we can chop them down to our heart's content!"

"Bang, bang, bang" the huge footsteps of the stone trolls began to be heard. The stone hammers made of tree trunks and boulders in their hands brought people an amazing sense of oppression. The three stone trolls walked directly towards the city gate.

With the joint efforts of the orc boys, ladders were placed on the city walls, and the orcs excitedly used all four limbs to run towards the city walls.

"Swordsmen, step forward! Get ready to engage! For the Emperor! Kill them! Marcus! Don't let these trolls knock on the city gate!" Ludwig roared and killed the first orc who tried to climb up the city wall with the sword in his hand.

Marcus also led his soldiers towards the trolls, among whom was Best holding the Molten.
