Chapter 456: Battle of the City Gate (Part 1)


In this wing, most of the soldiers are made up of pure swordsmen, with a few squadron sword dancers and rangers, and a large team of crossbowmen.
Looking at the structure of such a force, we know that this is actually not a defensive force, but rather an attack team.
In other words, Dane initially arranged for them to 'protect' artillery formations, so that when the enemy suddenly sent out fast troops and attacked the artillery formations out of town, they actually had the idea of ​​letting these people be the first-hand attack team. .
The wing leader of this wing is Caroline. She is a good sister of Xun Lina. In the era of the pure sword mercenary group, she was the most important left and right hand of Alysandrina, and under Her Majesty Dion, she also became a colonel and became an army. Leader up.
After receiving the offensive command, no matter how unhappy she was, she had to take the troops forward.
At the beginning, their position was not better than the artillery formation. The situation was good. Most of the enemy's firepower was obviously heading towards the artillery formation. But those artillery groups carrying heavy artillery, of course, could not move faster, and it was not long before they were overtaken by Caroline's troops.
In other words, Caroline's troops stepped into the enemy's best firepower range even before their own artillery formation.
In order to avoid being hit with too fierce fire, Caroline naturally chose to charge by way of a skirmisher.
That's right, it's charge.
She hopes to cross the enemy's fire line as soon as possible.
Artillery, crossbow and catapult all have a certain range. These powerful heavy equipment can be hit far, but if they rush under the city wall, it is difficult for these things to turn the muzzle to strike directly below themselves. s position.
As long as she can rush through, Caroline's troops are still alive.
Of course, after rushing to the vicinity, the enemies on the head of the city still have bows and arrows in their hands, and they are closer, and there are such things as alder and rolling stones, which can also cause them considerable lethality.
How to deal with these things, Caroline hasn't figured it out yet, and she really can't come up with any good way. The only thing that can be relied upon is the crossbowmen brigade under their own hands. They can only see if they are shooting at those enemies in the city, can they suppress the enemy's power as much as possible.
With these messy thoughts in his mind, Caroline led the army quickly into the enemy's best firepower range.
The roaring megaliths, the explosion of artillery shells, and the breaking wind of the giant crossbow of the crossbow came one after another. At a close enough distance, these heavy equipment could pose a threat to the soldiers in the charge. of!
Caroline looked around, and the scatter line formed by her ministry had become a mess. Under the focus of the enemy's attack, almost just a moment, a large number of soldiers were killed.
And death and its misery!
He was hit by a flaming boulder thrown from a trebuchet and bombarded by an alchemy cannon, all of which could not be preserved. Shot by a giant crossbow, it seems that there can be a whole body, but it is actually the worst.
A crossbow that is as thick as a thigh, passes through the human body, and the huge wound it brings out is fatal no matter where it is placed on anyone. However, the soldiers who were shot often did not die immediately. They fell to the ground and were able to twitch. They could also scream as long as they were not shot through the chest. But everyone knows, including the person who was shot, that he is dead.
This is a very cruel thing. Caroline saw a close friend who was close to her on a daily basis, a good friend who had the rank of captain, could soon be promoted to major, and served as the captain of the team. Was severely nailed to the ground.
He screamed loudly. When Caroline passed by, he reached out his hand, opened his mouth and couldn't say a word, he could only make a 'erh,' but those hopeful eyes How much I wanted Caroline to save him.
However, Caroline could only shake her head with tears. She had no way to save him, and she didn't know if she would be able to cross the death zone, and even she didn't dare to stay here. All she could do was go up and pierce the captain's head with a sword and end his pain as soon as possible.
But at this time, the previous moment was still raging and fierce firepower, and the next moment suddenly came to an abrupt end!
Caroline looked up suddenly, she saw the city above the barren land and was suddenly enveloped in darkness!
The mass of black mist shrouded almost all the firepower points above the closed city wall! And the firefighters who have lost their sight ca n’t continue firing at all-hell, they are now in a state where they ca n’t see their five fingers, even if the flame is lit, they ca n’t see the light, and do n’t want to find an artillery, a catapult or a crossbow , Let alone aiming!
Caroline was also an adventurer, and she knew what the thick black mist on the city was: Darkness!
Darkness is a ring of magic that deprives all light within the spell's scope. The scope of the spell itself is not large, but it can cover all the cities that face Caroline. It must be that many dark arts are working together, or simply Several enhanced dark techniques!
"Warriors! Take this opportunity! One more step!"
She didn't know where these dark arts came from, but she still very decisively called for troops to launch a faster charge!
In fact, without her saying that the soldiers are not a blind group ~ EbookFREE.me ~ Of course they can see the changes in the city. No one knows how long these dark arts can last, and this precious one can be safe for a moment No one will give up this opportunity, and no one will be willing to stay on this dead ground covered by artillery fire for a second more.
Everyone desperately moved their legs and rushed across this place as fast as possible.
In this case, Caroline's control of the army could finally be strengthened. She hasn't forgotten Dane's order to their wing. She took the general banner from the guard behind her, then raised it high, and rushed towards the gate of the deserted gate in person!
Under the enemy's fierce fire, Caroline's troops were bombarded for two minutes, and then it took two minutes to rush to the position close to the gate.
Then, the suspension bridge in front of the gates of the deserted city was put down in front of them.
