    Although the words "contribution degree" clearly appear in the conditions for completing the main mission, many numberers who have not been exposed to this thing did not know how precious it is before.  Hu Bin knew very clearly how difficult it was to obtain these contribution points. Before, the two thousandths of the contribution points obtained in the beacon mission could be said to be the effect of favorability, but the one thousandths obtained in the naval battle afterwards was  It all depends on luck and strength.  After that, even if Hu Bin completed the dangerous mission of counterattacking the Aocheng Fortress, he only received less than three ten thousandths of the contribution, and the contribution reward in the attack on the supply line mission was even pitiful. With half of the  The orc army was pressing down. Before the war, Hu Bin had not even completed half of the main line contribution requirements, which was very different from what he had expected. ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Take Hu Bin himself for example. The round of crazy shooting on the second floor of the city wall consumed most of Hu Bin's arrow reserves. He and his subordinates also killed no less than 200 orc soldiers, but their contribution was only  The increase was a little more than two ten thousandths. If calculated at this rate, Hu Bin would have to kill at least more than 5,000 ordinary orc soldiers to complete the main mission.  Fortunately, in addition to killing orcs, numberers have other ways to gain contribution points. For example, when the wild wolf led a group of people to rely on Lord Del's frenzy potion to resist the enemy, the numberers went together and survived.  The numberers gained a lot of contribution points, but the price they paid for this was half a squadron of about 60 numberers, less than half of whom came back alive.  Now because Hu Bin invested a lot of kerosene, the orc offensive in the corridor was delayed for a while. Hu Bin found that the battlefield contribution he got was actually more than what he got by killing a hundred orc soldiers.  many.  The other numberers also discovered this. They just passively guarded the end of the corridor, and their contribution points were actually increasing little by little. This corridor, which was easy to defend and difficult to attack, turned out to be a treasure place to increase contribution points.  But the premise is that this place is not captured by orcs.  Now even for the sake of contribution, Gondor's numberers will stick to this place.  Lawrence and many dark camp coders also arrived outside the corridor, but they did not dare to take a step closer. The orc elites who attacked in front had already told them with blood that the slope was simply a road to hell.  Before there is absolute certainty, any rash action will lead to death.  "It's difficult to do. The space there is too small. No matter how many troops are invested, it is difficult to deploy the formation. If I guessed correctly. The numberers on the opposite side must be guarding the end of the corridor. As long as they resist for a moment, the walls on both sides will  Things like boiling oil will be poured on it." A numberer who arrived early witnessed the failure of the orc elite's attack just now, and basically introduced the situation to Lawrence, and the numberer who heard this  All of them turned pale. They finally knew where the strange smell in the air came from.  "What about using crossbow troops to advance step by step?" Bieber suggested from the side, but was quickly rejected.  "The shooting angle in the corridor is too small. The Gondorians actually made the shooting holes diagonally downwards. We can't see the guy standing out at all. The shield guard at the end looks like it will be difficult to defeat them with a strong crossbow.  Defense, and without shield defense, the crossbowman has no ability to survive in the tunnel," the previous numberer said helplessly.  "Lawrence, what can you do?" Bieber turned around and looked at Lawrence.  Only he can think of any solution at this time.  "The method is very simple. Use the lives of orc soldiers to fill it up. The defenders will not have a lot of fire oil, and it will be used up in a few rounds. At that time, as long as we spread out the formation through a small area, our numerical advantage can be used  It worked." Lawrence added meaningfully: "We still have a lot of time to play with the opponent." Hearing this, the expressions of the numberers nearby softened significantly.  Obviously knows something.  The Orc commander in charge of the siege once again ordered a group of soldiers to attack the corridor, but soon the Orc elites lost most of their troops and withdrew. In less than a minute, they all poured into the corridor, and the defenders set fire to it.  The fire oil that had originally cooled down on the ground burned the attacking enemy and the corpses in the corridor to charcoal.  Before the flames in the corridor were completely extinguished, the second group of orcs launched an attack again, but were doused with hot oil again, and then the oil was ignited by unextinguished sparks. This time, not even a single person escaped.  With smoke, stench, and heat, the environment in the corridor became more and more cruel, and the pressure on the orcs to attack was also increasing. Their several consecutive attacks were ineffective, and they had already wasted nearly half an hour of their precious time.between.  Seeing this, even Lawrence couldn't sit still. The defenders of Gondor obviously didn't care about the consumption of kerosene and devoted themselves to the defense of the corridor without hesitation. It seems that the reserves are not as Lawrence expected.  Such lack.  "Bieber, go and bring everyone down there to collect some wood or things that can be burned. If there is water, collect some. Then gather the wind numberers. I will give you half an hour. Whatever happens after half an hour,  No matter how much material we have collected, we have to return here." Lawrence rubbed his temples and said. Since the opponent used fire in the corridor, the best way is to use a lot of water to resolve it, but the Gondor side did a good job of clearing the wall.  The dark side had absolutely no way to collect a large amount of water in a short period of time, so Lawrence prepared to fight fire with fire and use smoke to force the defenders back.  During the half hour that Bieber took his people away, the half-orc commander who was about to go crazy launched several frantic attacks on the city, but except for adding many charred corpses to the corridor, there was no progress, even if the orc commander  The commander personally supervised the battle and only suffered minor burns.  The numberers in the Gondor camp finally had a chance to breathe. They had been straining their nerves to fight and move since the orcs sieged the city, knowing that now they had a chance to take a good rest.  Several attacks by the orcs were ineffective. Although they still remained vigilant, they could also take turns to take short rests. The strong defense in the corridor gave them full confidence, and as time went by, large amounts of money were lost.  The large amount of contributions recorded also made them satisfied.  Morale is building up bit by bit among the numberers, and they have completely gotten rid of the frustration of being beaten and run before.  He is becoming more and more accustomed to the enemy's attacks.  The strong figures of the guards of the Wellspring still stand at the forefront. The originally smooth and visible surface of the shield is covered with traces that can be seen by orcs. The dried blood on the spear tells the story of the fall of each enemy. The only thing that remains unchanged is the face of the guards.  With their cold expressions and hands firmly holding their weapons, it seemed that the previous fight had no effect on them at all.  Hu Bin has been replaced from the defensive array below. Although there are Yongquan guards blocking the front, the continuous excitement still makes him feel a little tired. There are still many numberers who have not grabbed the defensive position and are watching helplessly.  Waiting to switch defenses, after all, that position gets the most contributions.  Hu Bin couldn't keep occupying the end of the corridor, so he simply led his men back to the city wall.  The vacated defense line was immediately replaced by other numberers.  "Bad news, Reed!" Boromir said, holding the news just passed down from above.  "Rohan's reinforcements were ambushed halfway. Although they solved the ambush, the journey was delayed a lot. It seems that we have to rely on ourselves." "The Runes do not have enough supplies to move out from there. Sauron's  The main force of the orc army is attacking White City here, and they are the only ones capable of ambushing Rohan's reinforcements," Hebrew said from the side. He didn't need to worry about contribution, so he stayed in Bo with the other two lords.  Beside Romil.  Apparently he also knew the news.  "It seems that the numberers on the dark side have invested a lot of money! I asked them why they didn't bring too many men when they attacked the city. It turned out that they were all sent to the north to intercept Rohan's reinforcements. If I guessed correctly  If so, it must be a large number of wolf cavalry ambushing the Rohan cavalry!" Hu Bin felt something was not good, although he had successfully resisted the orcs' offensive.  But everyone knows this is only temporary.  Sooner or later, the fuel will be exhausted by a single attack, and the numbered ones on the opposite side will not let them spend the rest of the time peacefully.  "Yes, what Rohan encountered was a group of wolf cavalry. Logically speaking, it is impossible for the orc army to split up there. But there is indeed an enemy that has escaped our sight and ambushed in the north. If this news is not nearby  If the Ranger troops came back, I even think this is an excuse for the Rohan Kingdom to delay. If they don't arrive on time, the time and sacrifices we have made in counterattacking the Aocheng Fortress will be in vain."  He made no secret of his worries.  "Didn't we successfully defend here? Those orcs have been blocked out for more than an hour. We can completely rely on this to delay the arrival of reinforcements." Lord Daier's optimistic attitude made Hu Bin and Hebrew smile bitterly.  "How much kerosene do we have left?" Hu Bin asked Boromir.  "It looks like four or five barrels are still sufficient now, but it is consumed quickly." Boromir does not have the optimistic view of Lord Del. The orcs are already launching their ninth attack, and because the attacks are very frequent,  The heating of kerosene cannot keep up, which makes the boiling oil lose its high-temperature lethality.  "Let's act economical from now on. Let's give the orcs a hard blow by letting them be fooled into launching a general attack, so that the time to heat the oil can be kept up." Although Hu Bin saidAlthough I know that doing so will put a lot of pressure on the Yongquan guards on the front line, in order to maintain the defense line here as long as possible, materials such as kerosene must be used with caution.  "Lawrence, the other party's fuel seems to be running out." Bieber and others brought back the wood and other combustibles collected during this period, but the orcs were launching an attack, and for a while the numberers did not  Good to take action.  The numberers on the dark side were lucky enough to find a deep well that had not yet been exhausted in the square on the first floor, where the numberers obtained a lot of water.  "Very good, we can start taking action next." Seeing the Orc commanders constantly adding troops to the front line, and the Gondor defenders having to pour fire oil again, Lawrence knew that this attack was coming to an end.  "Tell Chief Scar to let their people go in with these fuels. The next time I attack, I need the fire and smoke in the corridor to be bigger." "No problem." Bieber has already guessed Lawrence's plan.  The orcs holding fuel were basically sacrificed as living fuel, but Bieber believed that Scar, the leader of the orcs' attack, would not refuse this suggestion.  Soon, the defenders of Gondor discovered that something was wrong. The orcs launched another attack too early. The temperature in the corridor had not yet completely dropped. A group of orcs carrying baggage rushed into the corridor.  .  The soldier captain guarding the city wall did not rush to use kerosene for defense, but quickly reported the abnormality to Boromir.  "The numberers on the opposite side finally took action. It seems that they also want to use fire attacks to consume us, but they actually came up with a countermeasure so quickly. The guy named Lawrence you mentioned does have some brains." Hu Bin listened to the message.  The news was a bit unexpected. I originally thought that the enemy would not be able to break in before our own fuel oil was exhausted, but it was hard to say now. If thick smoke and dust were allowed to drift in, it would cause great trouble to the soldiers defending the city.  "Is there any way?" Hebrew asked worriedly.  "Haha." Hu Bin turned to Boromir with a smile and said: "Boromir, don't use or defend this attack, please." "What are your plans?" Boromir curiously  asked.  "Since the enemy wants to use fire to attack, we simply let them use it. Let Ross and the others retreat. The next scene is not suitable for them." Boromir had some doubts about Hu Bin's words, but he trusted Hu Bin and recalled  Got the Yongquan guards.  "Let's go and mobilize all the numberers. Maybe the opportunity to increase the contribution points has come!" Hu Bin walked down with Tower Shield and Lin.  Without the resistance of kerosene, a fierce battle broke out between the orcs and the humans guarding the end of the corridor. The archers on the city wall fired arrows desperately to reduce the number of orcs in the corridor. In the end, the defenders were able to fight back.  During this attack, the orcs left many corpses and voluntarily exited the corridor.  "It's time to start. Bieber, take our people and gather a group of volunteers. We are going to prepare for a storm." Lawrence found that flammable materials had been accumulated in the corridor for a long time.  The numberers were summoned.  "Lawrence, we are not sure whether the opponent has run out of fuel, why don't we test it a few times before launching an attack?" Bieber hesitated. Lawrence's bold move this time did not complicate his usual cautious character.  "Bieber, how much have you contributed to the battlefield!" Lawrence showed a rare distressed look at this time.  "Less than half, what's wrong?" "Then do you think other people's contributions are more or less than yours?" Lawrence then asked.  ¡°I don¡¯t think there are many people who have more people than me.¡± Bieber felt something was wrong, and he finally realized the seriousness of the matter.  "That's right. The orcs as allies are numerous and powerful. In this siege, this is our advantage and our disadvantage." Lawrence stopped talking and let Bieber digest the meaning of these words.  "You mean" Bieber suddenly raised his head and stared at Lawrence.  "Yes, it is certain that the longer we delay here, the smaller the chance of completing the main mission. If we wait until the orcs finally capture this place, it is estimated that we will no longer be able to obtain additional contribution rewards."  "So you ask our numberers to launch an attack as soon as possible!" "Yes, if you guessed it correctly, the longer the numberers on the opposite side resist, the more contribution they will get, so they will attack from the beginning.  Standing on the opposite side of the corridor, it is obvious that they will not expose themselves to danger if they are not motivated by enough profits." Before Lawrence could finish speaking, Bieber couldn't wait to gather people.  "Space will not?We are sitting back and enjoying the fruits of it, but if we want to live well, we have to put our lives on the gambling table.  "Lawrence whispered the unfinished words. He has always given the impression to others that he is cautious and cherishes his life. In fact, Lawrence is not afraid of risking his life, but he has not yet encountered a time when he really needs to fight. Others don't know  What¡¯s more, when a wise man is desperate, he will be crazier than anyone else. ¡°Quickly, we have to take advantage of the opportunity of the people on the opposite side to be affected by the smoke, so we all have wet wipes ready.  "A numberer carried a bucket and shouted with a loud voice, and the numberers on the dark side who were preparing to attack handed over their masks one after another. "It seems that this water is not enough!  "A numberer said when he saw the bucket that quickly bottomed out. "Haha!  You won't put some water on your own.  "The loudspeaker who was responsible for soaking looked at the opponent's crotch and laughed. The others laughed after hearing it. "Good idea!  "The numberer was not angry at all. Under the surprised eyes of everyone, he took his mask and left. The other numberers who did not receive water looked at each other and went to find a place to solve the problem. After all,  This is much better than being choked by the hot smoke in the battlefield later. ¡°Gather!  "Bieber shouted loudly. "Everyone knows why we are so eager to attack, so we will use all means. If the time comes to leave regrets, the gain will outweigh the loss.  "Lawrence said in front of the crowd who gathered. He was covered in scale armor and weighed the big shield in his hand, trying to huddle behind it. This time Bieber might not be able to protect himself. "Hey!  Even Boss Lawrence is trying his best, so we can't be too cowardly.  "Laurence's opponent below laughed loudly, causing everyone to burst into laughter. "Please tell General Scar that you can set fire now.  "Lawrence saw that everyone was ready and said casually to an orc elite next to him. "I'm waiting for your good news!  "The orc tried to say a blessing in common language before leaving. He felt that at least the courage of this group of mercenaries was commendable. A group of wind numberers were already waiting at the entrance of the tunnel. They were responsible for blowing the smoke to Gondor.  As for the defenders, it depends on their own efforts. A group of orc crossbowmen brought rockets to the entrance of the corridor and ignited the flammable materials piled in the corridor. As the fire grew,  Thick smoke gradually gathered in the corridor. Looking at the figures of the Gondor defenders on the opposite side of the corridor that were blurred by the high temperature, Lawrence coldly gave the order.
