Chapter 36: Violent Orcs
The stubborn King Ryan was unwilling to pay, so Jin Di could only leave the hall in disappointment.
It’s really not easy to do business with these die-hards!
They would just watch as the knights rushed forward to fight the orcs for their lives.
Wouldn't it be better to carpet bomb first and then charge?
The dwarf mage, who would never understand the spirit of chivalry, quickly left the heavily guarded palace and rode a mechanical chocobo to the port area.
Stormwind's port and city merge into one.
When people built the city here, they took a fancy to the perfect harbor topography of the city, which is surrounded by mountains on three sides and the sea on the other.
Such a city cannot be successfully conquered no matter whether the enemy attacks from land or sea.
Of course, the city cannot be conquered, and it has nothing to do with the residents running away.
Rich people are trying their best to escape Stormwind City.
People without money also crowded around the port, looking for ways to leave.
In addition to refugees, the port area is full of refugees.
No one wants to stay in a city that could be attacked at any time.
King Ryan will not understand why these people are trying to escape even though the kingdom has not truly failed.
He has never reflected on whether his side has achieved even a single victory in the past three years.
The invincible tug-of-war and the inevitable encounters that lead to defeat in every battle have all consumed the enthusiasm of the people.
In that case, why not run?
Although Stormwind City is extremely strong, it is almost impossible to break through.
But if there's even the slightest chance, it's no longer safe here.
A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall, but leaves here as soon as possible while he can.
By the time everyone wants to leave, there may not be a chance to leave.
People with crisis awareness can always detect danger as early as possible and stay away from dangerous places.
Jin Di looked at these smart people and couldn't help feeling that smart people are different.
If King Llane was half as smart as them, he might have defeated the orcs.
Most of these ships docked in the port have common wooden hulls.
Several of the ships were inlaid with iron armor and equipped with huge chimneys for exhausting smoke.
These were steam-powered ironclads.
It is a temporary transitional product manufactured by Chenfeng Arsenal.
This kind of powered ship is much faster than a sail and is more flexible.
The artillery equipped on it is a temporarily installed land warfare version.
But if you really want to use them for naval battles, there will definitely be no problem!
Not long after Jin Di returned to the ship in depression, a shocking news came.
The Knights of the Storm fighting on the front line were defeated and collapsed!
After such a big incident, the number of residents who wanted to leave by boat skyrocketed.
The troops fighting on the front line also lost their fighting spirit and chose to retreat to the city to rest.
The Knights have collapsed, so it makes sense for us to retreat to the city and stay there, right?
These chaotic troops running into the city gave the orcs the best opportunity to attack the city.
Seizing the opportunity, Orgrim took advantage of the chaos to capture the city gate and pry open the turtle shell of this fortress city.
The violent and bloodthirsty evil orcs and ogres began to show their brutality and bloodshed in the city.
Field warfare is the world of the Knights, and urban warfare is their world!
Big axes and hammers were destroying the buildings in the city wantonly.
A seemingly heavy door will often break in one or two blows.
Want to have a street fight?
They will let you experience what it means to be overwhelmed!
Without powerful firepower to cover the attack, it would be difficult to stop their atrocities.
Jin Di observed the tragedy in the city gate area through the eyes of the mage. When he saw those evil atrocities, he seemed to be seeing the most evil troll in the world.
The trolls must die, and so must the orcs!
After adjusting the warship's artillery trajectory, he ordered the implementation of a round of artillery fire coverage.
The shock wave generated by the artillery salvo pushed the ship more than ten meters away.
The refugees on the shore were trembling with fear from the deafening sound of the cannon.
They didn't understand why these armored warships suddenly fired into the sky.
Then they discovered that the cannonballs fired by the warships could fly several kilometers away and hit the city gate.
The faint howling coming from the direction of the city gate suddenly stopped.
The refugees didn't know what was going on, but Jin Di could see clearly through the eyes of the mage.
The salvos of more than a dozen large-caliber artillery blasted the orc army with the strongest offensive and the largest number into pieces.
In the large sunken pit on the ground, you can vaguely see blood-red liquid seeping out.
Losing hundreds of brave and skilled warriors in an instant, even Orgrim, who had a lot of troops, felt heartbroken.
If it had been a brutal fight, with casualties on each other, and such a loss of troops, it would have felt better.
This round of shelling was reimbursed instantly, which is really unacceptable!
Orgrim quickly made new adjustments to the siege army.
"Spread out the attack and look for bunkers!"
Although the siege troops no longer united, although their attack momentum was greatly weakened, they still had an overall advantage.
The defense forces on the human side that have stabilized their position are still having a hard time resisting.
Both orcs and ogres are powerful units that can defeat several at a time.
When that huge weapon was smashed down, the elite heavy infantrymen would be shaken by the impact.
Ordinary human soldiers would almost die if they faced them.
However, it is their powerful performance that makes Jindi happy to kill them even if a shell can only kill one.
The Draenei that the orcs destroyed in their world also had very high engineering skills.
Therefore, their tactics for dealing with thermal weapons are quite rich.
How to dodge in the face of artillery fire, how to dodge machine gun fire, these all have standard tactical actions.
But is this behavior of taking away one target with one shell too much?
It’s like a cannon to kill mosquitoes!
Jin Di will not feel sorry for this.
No matter how high the cost of a large-caliber artillery shell is, it will not exceed the value of an orc.
And someone will definitely foot the bill.
Use the number of kills to settle the employment fee with Stormwind City. This deal is definitely profitable!
The good practice of killing an enemy with one artillery shell was well implemented by the artillerymen.
The orc warriors marched forward cautiously in the ruins of the city, constantly praying in their hearts that the enemy would not choose them.
However, at the next moment, where it was located, plumes of smoke and fire suddenly rose into the sky.
When the smoke dissipated, a large crater several meters in diameter appeared.
As for the orc from before, he must have ascended to the sky on a clay plane and turned into a gorgeous cannon fodder!
It is first blown into powder, and then incinerated at high temperatures. It is an absolutely painless one-stop service!
Faced with such a rich attack method, even Orgrim, a professional general, was defeated.
If we continue to fight with the opponent like this, who knows how many troops will be consumed?
As the only commander among the orcs who has not drank demon blood and has a normal mind.
It must develop a more reasonable siege plan.
It would be very troublesome if the army mutinied because the casualties during the siege were too high!
Although Orgrim is stronger than these guys, it doesn't want to be challenged by these guys every day.
As the withdrawal horn sounded, the siege troops quickly left the city gate.
However, when they left, they burned the city gate with fire, leaving convenience for subsequent siege.
