Darkness shrouded Campbell Plains, and the light emitted by countless torches eclipsed even the starlight. Torches continued to advance towards the southern gate of Thundercastle.

The enemy lined up in columns, carrying stones, wood, and sandbags, and took turns rushing towards the moat.

"They're filling in the moat!" Simon pointed in the direction of the moat, "Damn, no wonder there's no movement during the day, so they're preparing!"

"Major General Cole's banner, that sick seedling. Franz patted the battlements and said, "He's good at siege warfare." ”

"Arrows!" Jack Gillen yelled, "Don't let them get near the moat!"

The red-robed men on the walls took up their bows, and those figures who were close to the moat fell, but many more rushed forward. This time, the enemy's reclamation was better organized, they formed a team with a clear division of labor: the men on the periphery raised their shields, fended off their bows and arrows, and protected as much as possible from the people who carried goods in the middle.

After about half an hour, a large section of the moat outside the southern gate was filled in, and the enemy shouted and rushed to the gate.

"Arrows!!" Jack Guillen pointed to the enemy with the ladder, "Don't let them get close! Damn! there are too many of them!"

The enemy raised his shield under the walls, received a wave of bows and arrows, and climbed up the ladder. They erected eight ladders under the city walls.

"Get down!" Simon knocked down Jack Guillen, and the enemy archers fired arrows at the wall, and a red-robed man beside him screamed and fell off the wall.

"They are as many as ants, they can't hold on!" Jack Gillen yelled.

"Now you know, why General Mach is fighting in the streets. Franz pointed to the ants-like enemies, "There are twice as many enemies as we are, and that's not counting the vanguard that died in the city during the day today." We can't stop them from entering the city, and we're going to lose a lot of people when we defend the city. ”

Simon swung his sword at an enemy who had climbed up the battlements, and said, "You should be glad that most of the capital garrisons are fighting in the streets!"

Franz drew his dagger and slashed at one of the foes who had just climbed onto the battlements, who screamed and fell.

"Why do you say that?" Jack Guillen slammed the shoulders of the enemy who climbed up with his sword in both hands, and he kicked them away to meet the second enemy.

On the battlements near the ladder, the attacking and defensive sides engaged in a fierce battle, some of the ladders were pushed down by the red robes, and some of the ladders were there, the attackers shot their bows and arrows at the city wall, and the soldiers who covered the ladders climbed the city wall.

"The walls blocked the view of the garrison, and they did not know exactly how many enemies there were. Franz blocked an enemy's attack with his sword, and his left fist hit him in the face, and the other man screamed, covering his eyes, and he held down the opponent's head and slammed it into the wall, splashing blood on his face. He parried the second enemy's attack, and with a flick of his wrist, the opponent stumbled, and his sword pierced the opponent's chest.

Simon's swordsmanship wasn't bad either, and he slashed down the third enemy: "In street fighting, they only face a small group of enemies at a time, and they fight desperately with the hope that they will win. If you see the real difference in numbers, it is difficult to guarantee surrender and escape. ”

"Well, I'm powerless to refute. Jack Gillen smiled bitterly and dodged a flying bow and arrow sideways, "Simon, can't you think of a way to make the walls higher?"

Simon smiled and teased, "Do you think I'm a purple robe-level magician who can manipulate hard stone and granite? What's more, the higher the city walls become, the thinner they have to be, and the overall mass remains the same." ”

"I knew you magicians were all braggarts!" Jack Gillen roared angrily, his sword slicing open the belly of an enemy, pointing under the gates, "Damn it, the battering ram is coming!"

The enemy under the gates was pushing a huge wooden cart with a huge beam and a battering ram hanging underneath, the head of which was shining with a cold light. Step by step, they approached the clogged moat.

"Don't worry, Your Excellency, Captain. With a wave of Simon's hand, a huge earth element appeared next to the moat. The enemy holds a sword and can't cut the earth elemental, but is knocked down by the earth elemental.

"Why didn't you summon this stone man earlier?" asked Jack Guillen, pushing away a red-robed corpse.

"I've built a lot of earthen walls into the outer city today, restricting the riders and besieging some of the enemy. Simon pointed to the middle of the outer city, "Do you think my mana is like the Suruz Canal, which is endless? I need to rest and repel this wave of attacks, I really want to sleep well." ”

"It's all the same, Simon, everybody's tired. But look at those enemies as many as ants, they intend to storm it. Franz shook his head and cheered up, "If you want to rest, you can rest well after you die." ”

"Look there!" a red-robed man pointed to the middle of the outer city, where the arrow towers were on fire.

"Street fighting is still happening. Simon, you bring a few more people to follow me, I have an idea. Franz looked there, clenching his dagger. As he left, he turned around and said, "Captain, do your best, if you really can't do it, retreat to the vicinity of the entrance of the inner city and continue to fight in the streets, don't die on the city walls." ”

Kane could hear the dull sound of a battering ram hitting a drawbridge in the south. There is an iron gate behind the drawbridge, and the battering ram has to be hammered for a long time. But with each impact, Kane felt that the sound was pleasant, and the hope of capturing Thunder Fort was getting bigger and bigger.

"Rush up, we're going to take the Iron Gate, we're going to raise the Iron Gate!" Kane raised his dagger and shouted, "Follow me!"

His squad of more than 20 people looked excited, they stepped through corpses, rivers of blood, and stones in the dark, when suddenly he heard a whooshing sound, and two infantry fell to the ground with a scream. He reacted instantly, it was the sound of an arrow cutting through the air.

"Raise your shield!" he shouted, a bow and arrow stuck in his oak diamond shield, and he heard another arrow fly past his ear. His team dispersed close to the buildings in front of him, only to find that they were in the middle of two arrow towers.

Bows and arrows came from the darkness, and another infantry fell.

"Stick to the arrow tower, hide in the corner!" he waved his hand, "Don't get tangled with them!"

Before he could finish speaking, in the darkness, a cold light flashed at the bottom of the tower, and the infantry near the entrance of the tower were pierced by spears.

"For His Majesty the Emperor!" several figures poured out of it, and their short swords slashed at it.

"There's an ambush!" Kane shouted, catching the other man's slash, taking a few steps back, and by the light of the stars and the faint light of the torches on the tower, he flicked his sword at the figure, and the other slashed at him, and he flashed sideways, hearing the sound of his short sword cutting through his clothes.

The battle at the base of the tower didn't last long, and the red-robed men fled back to the tower when they saw that they couldn't outnumber Kane.

"Damn!" Kane shouted, raising his shield only to hear another soldier screaming.

"Die, die!" Blanca screamed, casting a spell to ignite the wooden door of the tower. The people inside coughed and rushed out in flames.

"Kill the red robe!" Kane snapped as he slashed a red robe with his hair on fire.

"We've taken the tower!" said the archer, leaping in joy, "now it's our turn to stop the enemy." ”

"No, we should just take control of the Iron Gate and stretch it out. Without thinking, Kane pointed to the south, "Listen, the sound of battering rams, and the shouts of slaughter on the walls. We're about to take the outer city. ”

"No, we can't just rush to the Iron Gate. One of the riders shook his head, his helmet dented and smashed with a sword by the enemy, "We don't know how many red-robed people are guarding there." We have too few people. ”

"And what do you say?" roared Kane, tired and hungry, as all his cavalry, small infantry, and archers entered the outer city, and the battle lasted a whole day and a night. The whole outer city was like a huge cage, and the red-robed men hid in the alleys, on the towers, and in the rooms, and they set cold arrows and sprinkled oil and ignited fires, so that Kane's troops were terrified. He's had enough of this torture, and he's always in high spirits.

"We are on this arrow tower and can observe the nearby area. We continue to rest and wait for reinforcements to come in, or we can stay here and wait until dawn to find more of our men. "The enemy must have sent heavy troops to guard the gates, Your Excellency the Major General, we have too few men. ”

"No, I don't want to wait for a moment. Kane shook his head.

"What the hell are you thinking?" Blanca raised her voice, "We've advanced to the outer city, we've fought for a day and a night, we can't go to death again in vain, haven't we killed enough people today?"

"Cowards are afraid of death. Kane yelled, and he said viciously, "Whoever doesn't rush forward, I'll kill whoever else!"

"Don't let your vanity hurt us. Blanca narrowed his eyes and said coldly, "I can see that you want to make meritorious contributions." You've killed so many soldiers, and if you're the first to open the gates, you'll be a hero, right?"

As soon as Blanca said this, Kane's heart suddenly stabbed. He realized that Blanca was right, and subconsciously wanted him to open the gates to meet Lieutenant General Barrett. In CSKA, he rarely had the opportunity to make meritorious contributions on the battlefield, and he even envied the soldiers who died in the one-year war.

"Shut up!" he could only order. His mind was guessed by Blanca. He is eager to fight for self-fulfillment and to be honored.

"Oh my God!" exclaimed one of the riders.

Kane followed the direction of the rider's finger and stood on the arrow tower to look at the city gate, and couldn't help but be stunned: a high earthen wall was erected near the iron gate at the south gate, and the earthen wall was only half the height of the iron gate, but to the astonishment, countless corpses were piled up on the earthen wall. In other words, corpses and dirt formed the third gate, blocking the entry of Barrett's army.

"It's Simon!" Blanca said through gritted teeth, he becoming uncool, "How about we kill the past?" (to be continued). )
