Therefore, on the same day that the main force of the Kingdom of Norsland began to move south, the troops of the Kurut Kingdom on the steppe also began to assemble south.

30,000 Norsland soldiers, 50,000 steppe cavalry, and the men of the mercenary guild attacked from the water on the ship of Partini Island, and this war was destined not to be a local conflict from the moment it broke out. In King Gravel's plans, the war could be seen at least as a rehearsal for the end of the Delman Empire.

"You can't go out of the city to fight a decisive battle! The other party has advanced so far in a day and a night, there must be something to rely on, at this time take the risk to attack the other party, and if you win, the other party may have follow-up troops, and if you lose, we will lose the town of Leileigh. Standing at the head of the city, looking at the armies holding high the imperial flag on the plains in the distance, Raymond, the defending officer of Rayleigh Town, pressed his long sword and comforted his subordinates who were seeking battle.

The town of Rayleigh is a new town under the Gorgaron family, and with the success of the last expedition, the wealth brought back has greatly developed this small and unknown place, and is now the largest town around the border, with a newly built and fortified fortress.

His voice was magical. After hearing his analysis, the soldiers who were ready to fight to the death with the enemy under the city all pressed their thoughts of wanting to take revenge and kill the enemy.

"Let our men hurry up and rest, the other side may not attack immediately, but we must be prepared to defend, and the city walls must not go any way!" Raymond is a seasoned veteran of the battlefield.

Looking at the immobile enemies in the distance with some concern, he had to add to his men: "If the other side comes into range, use those long-range catapults behind the walls to repel them." ”

Raymond has a big picture of the situation, he knows that the Blackstone Fort Expeditionary Force under the city cannot last, and their desire to take the town of Rayleigh is actually the best proof that they want to enter the town to supply and avoid the ensuing field battle.

Therefore, as a front-line commander, what he has to do is not to destroy the enemy and strive for credit, what he has to do is to prevent the enemy from completing his campaign objectives, even if the division wins.

As long as the other party can't attack for a long time, there will be more and more follow-up reinforcements from the Norsland Kingdom, and he has already sent someone to inform King Gravel, and then the other party will have only one choice to retreat.

So, the current situation seems very tricky and complicated, but in Raymond's eyes, it is actually a little boring for him.

"Boom!" Just when Raymond was feeling a little bored, the Blackstone Fort Expeditionary Force in the distance showed their hole cards, and a magic burst bullet pierced the air and landed in the town of Rayleigh with a sharp whistling sound.

The magic blast bomb crashed into a house, shattering the roof tiles of that house and then exploding in the house, knocking down two walls. Immediately after that, the surrounding houses began to collapse with the tremors, emitting a low, suppressed rumbling sound.

"That's ...... What?" Widening his eyes and looking at the row of houses that were collapsing in the distance behind him, Raymond's calm voice trembled in his voice, and he subconsciously asked his adjutant in disbelief.

The lieutenant, who was also speechless in shock, did not have the heart to answer Raymond's question at this time, he looked at the house that was collapsing with the spread of gunsmoke, and the sound of the explosion that made him unforgettable just now.

"Boom!" The shock of the two men was not over, and the second magic burst bomb hit the wall of Reilly Town, and the explosion caused the entire city wall to crack, but the thick wall still stubbornly did not fall.

It's just that the soldiers on the city wall have been frightened by two huge explosions in a row, and their faces are a little pale. They were not afraid of the enemy rushing at their feet, because they had too many ways to fight the besieging enemy.

But now, everything that is in front of them has gone beyond their cognition. Now they don't know anything about what's going on, and the fear that comes with ignorance is the fear that really goes deep into the marrow.

"Boom!" was like the bell of doom, and the explosion rang endlessly. A third explosion also occurred in the city, and another innocent building collapsed, billowing black smoke.

Raymond had already recovered from the shock by this time, and he knew that the tactics that he thought were foolproof now seemed to have completely failed. The city wall, which was almost impenetrable, seemed to be vulnerable in the eyes of the opponent.

"Could it be that this is the legendary Magic Crystal Cannon?" Raymond sighed as he stared at the Imperial flag in the distance.

"Hold your ground!No retreat!We are the warriors of Norsland!Death is like going home to us!Our ancestors are calling us at Valhalla!" He suddenly shouted loudly to all the soldiers in front of him, and the morale-boosting voice floated far between the explosions.

"Boom!" But a few seconds later, the more ferocious artillery fire completely suppressed the shouts above the city of Leili Town, and the Blackstone Fort Expeditionary Force under the city gathered almost all the magic crystal cannons, and the power of a salvo was not at all something that a mortal body could compete with.

"Boom!" As another volley of fire was fired at the walls, the thick walls of Rayleigh Town finally broke and collapsed with the sound of explosions. The battlements tumbled and fell to the bottom of the city, and the soldiers on the walls and the corpses of the soldiers collapsed and buried among the smoke and rubble.

Seeing that there was a gap in his walls, Raymond knew that this defensive battle was destined to become difficult, and he knew that sometimes soldiers just had to face the worst results calmly.

A towering catapult was torn apart by the blast wave of the explosion, countless wooden supports collapsed and shattered, and the soldiers under these catapults were already in disarray, and the huge wooden pry bar smashed into another catapult next to it, making a creaking sound.

Under three rounds of shelling, the city of Rayleigh was already an apocalyptic scene.

"My lord, the other side is not surrounding us, let's retreat north!" Raymond's adjutant face, already covered with smoky dust, took Raymond's arm, and persuaded loudly.

There is no way, under a few rounds of shelling, the voices of everyone on the battlefield will become extremely loud, because they have become accustomed to the deafening environment, and their ears have long since become less sensitive.
