83: Wanqing City Bloody Battle

"Brother, thanks to your mechanicals, otherwise relying on these clumsy Orc, it would be harder to build a decent camp for me than fighting."

The Barbarian King laughed heartily.

For so many years, the Barbarian King had never lived in such a comfortable marching tent.

Han Huohuo joined the army with over five hundred mechanical workers. As the Barbarian King's brother, he was qualified to sit here.

"Lord Barbarian King, you can keep these 500 mechanicals with you."

"Haha, then thank you, brother!"

The Barbarian King was obviously very pleased.

Hua Mulan brought a small team of Floating Turret and Flamethrower, standing behind Han Huohuo. These mechanical soldiers were not here to help the Barbarian King fight, but to protect Han Huohuo's safety amidst the chaotic army.

"Lord Barbarian King, can I make a small request?" Han Huohuo saw the Barbarian King was happy and seized the opportunity to ask.

"Speak!"

"If we capture Wanqing City, can you leave some population for me? My Tongtian City is really lacking in people."

The Barbarian King stared into Han Huohuo's eyes, of course knowing that his brother was pleading for the people of Wanqing City.

Han Huohuo smiled, without any timidity, meeting the Barbarian King's gaze.

"Lord Barbarian King, this time's objective won't just be to plunder and return, right? If you kill everyone, all subsequent cities will resist desperately. I don't think this is a good thing."

A group of Barbarians General looked sideways at Han Huohuo, all feeling that the Fire Barbarian God's words were unpleasant.

In the world of the Barbarians, as long as you resist, I can kill you all!

It is a matter of course!

The Barbarian King sneered, "You are very bold."

The Barbarian King understood Han Huohuo's meaning, asking him to restrain the Barbarians and kill fewer people, but the Barbarians were not that easy to restrain.

If they were obedient, these people would not be called Barbarians.

Han Huohuo did not retort, saying casually, "Lord Barbarian King, I am just making a suggestion, giving the King a reference. Whatever the final decision, I will listen to you."

Seeing Han Huohuo's attitude soften, many people showed mocking smiles.

Han Huohuo's words and actions were very un-Barbarians, because he was not a Barbarians. If it were another Barbarians Hero, insisting on his own ideas, he would have directly confronted the Barbarian King.

But Han Huohuo wouldn't do that. He had a good sense of propriety, proposing his ideas but not being overbearing.

The Barbarian King had not encountered this sense of propriety for a long time.

The Barbarian King pondered for a moment, then suddenly raised his wine cup and shouted loudly, "Did you hear that? If we break through Wanqing City, it's fine to loot money and grain, but control yourselves. Don't kill everyone. My brother still needs these two-legged sheep!"

All the General burst into laughter, raising their wine cups together, "We will listen to Lord Barbarian King!"

Han Huohuo also raised his wine cup.

Barbarians' wine was very difficult to drink, but Han Huohuo drained it in one gulp!

A million strong Barbarians army was stationed on the open ground not far from Wanqing City. Wolf cavalry patrolled back and forth to prevent sneak attacks by humans.

They waited until all the engineering equipment was transported from the rear.

The Barbarians warriors had long been unable to hold back, howling and eager to kill the enemy.

Early the next morning, the siege battle finally began.

The first to appear on the battlefield were the Barbarians demigod units, the Cyclops, using huge stones, first smashed fiercely towards the city wall.

The ground shook!

Many archers on the city wall were actually shaken to death on the spot by the huge vibration.

But the reinforced city wall of Wanqing City was not that easy to smash open. The arrow towers on top began to fire in turns.

The Monks' long-range magic missiles shone, all smashing towards the Cyclops unit.

The Barbarian King was worried about the losses of the Cyclops.

With a wave of his large hand, the entire army immediately charged out.

Orc and wolf cavalry rushed at the forefront. Large numbers of Orc carried ladders and charged forward.

A dark mass, the Barbarians army surged like a tide towards Wanqing City.

The charge horn sounded.

The gate of Wanqing City suddenly opened, and a team of several hundred Royal Knights, covered in holy light and blessed by Monks, unexpectedly charged out of the city.

Although this team of cavalry numbered only several hundred, their spears were three zhang long, and their Shockforce was astonishing. With a fierce charge, they broke through all the Orc and wolf cavalry in front.

Compared to the Royal Knights, the wolf cavalry were like children.

The objective of the several hundred cavalry was very clear. Taking advantage of the chaos among the Orc, they prioritized slaughtering all the Orc carrying ladders, and then quickly retreated back into the city before the Barbarians army could surround them.

Hooves flew, and after returning to the city, the city gate was immediately raised.

The Barbarians didn't even react.

Wanqing City erupted in cheers, and morale was greatly boosted.

Having lost the siege equipment like ladders, the axe throwers and the archers on the city wall exchanged fire.

Archers had the battlement as cover and should have had the advantage, but Li Dingbei was startled to find that the axe throwers actually threw two huge axes each time. This meant their attack speed was doubled, and they could exchange fire with the archers on the city wall without falling behind.

The siege ladders were taken out by a charge of the Royal Glory Knights, but the Orc did not retreat, still charging forward with simple bamboo ladders.

A fierce battle for the city wall began.

The ferocity of the Barbarians was once again shown to the humans.

They fought from morning until dusk. Both sides suffered heavy casualties. Corpses lay everywhere on the battlefield. When night fell, everyone was exhausted from fighting.

The Barbarian King sounded the retreat.

The Barbarians then retreated like a tide.

This was just a probe.

After a day of fierce fighting, the casualties of the Barbarians attackers and the defenders were actually equal. The Barbarians combined artifact, the Cruel Axe, was truly terrifying.

The Barbarians Heroes' confidence increased greatly, and they stayed up late studying the strategy for the next day's siege.

Han Huohuo did not participate. The siege had nothing to do with him. He was just here to be a hanger-on.

Walking through the Barbarians camp, the stench was everywhere.

A million strong army had no proper latrines. Barbarians could eat and excrete, so it was impossible for it to be clean.

Hua Mulan followed behind him, surrounded by Floating Turret and Flamethrower protecting them in the middle.

Many Barbarians, seeing this strange combination, asked who this Lord was?

"This is the Fire Barbarian God! The Barbarian King's full brother from different parents!"

"Oh? That awesome!"

The two walked in silence for a long time. Hua Mulan couldn't help but ask, "If you were the Barbarian King, how would you attack the city?"

Han Huohuo glanced at Hua Mulan but did not speak.

Hua Mulan sighed, "I've been with you for so long. Actually, I saw it in your eyes during the banquet, I knew you had a way, but you didn't say a word and instead left. Is it because you don't want to say?"

Han Huohuo shook his head, "This war has nothing to do with Tongtian City. You don't really think I'm the Barbarian King's brother, do you? I'm afraid the Barbarian King himself has never thought that way."

Han Huohuo was very self-aware.

The Barbarian King wooed him, firstly because of the treasure, and secondly because he needed Tongtian City to maintain the logistics channel in the Ten Thousand Mountains.

Ensuring that war materials could be continuously transported through the Ten Thousand Mountains and smoothly delivered to the front line.

He was just a small local armed force, forced to stand on the Barbarians side because he was almost wiped out by Wanqing City. He just happened to be in the most crucial position.

Han Huohuo couldn't avoid it and could only cooperate. He needed to survive.

The Barbarian King saved a lot of worry.

Hua Mulan thought about it and realized it was true.

The two chatted as they walked. A piercing eagle cry sounded. It turned out that the Barbarian King's reinforcements, the Thunderbird, had arrived.

Han Huohuo suddenly thought of his own Northern Darkness. He wondered what that little eagle was doing now, but it was very attached to Mu Jiu, so it should be happy.

Northern Darkness was a Giant Eagle at the ancestor level of the Thunderbird, but it was still a young bird and couldn't even fly. The adult Thunderbird in the sky were different. With golden yellow feathers, they had a wingspan of more than ten meters and were awe-inspiring as they flew across the sky.

Neither side deployed air force on the battlefield today.

He wondered which was more powerful, Griffons or Thunderbird in a battle.

Griffons were only Tier 2, while Thunderbird were Tier 5, but the number of Griffons was much greater than Thunderbird.

The curtain of the Barbarian King's tent was lifted, and the Barbarians Heroes walked out. The mobilization meeting was obviously over, and they had determined the strategy. Each General had received his task.

Duoduo and Sardin came out one after another. The two guys couldn't stand each other. They glared at each other angrily and walked away in different directions.

Han Huohuo smiled slightly. Indeed, where there are people, there is conflict.

Barbarians are also people.
