The Amaterasu army followed one after another, desperately attacking the city walls.

They were densely packed under the city, like schools of fish in cages. The officers jumped directly onto the city, trying to gain a foothold. The soldiers set up ladders and even towers to climb the city walls.

The ten-meter-high city wall was covered with black figures almost instantly, like a piece of cheese crawling with ants.

Not to be outdone, the Imperial defenders resisted the black frenzy of the Amaterasu Army with all their might.

The brawlers picked up their shields and axes and smashed the Amaterasu army that climbed up against the city wall; Or brandishing swords and iron spears, slashing and stabbing around the Amaterasu officers who burst into the city.

The gunners kept firing rounds of guns against the follow-up units of the Amaterasu. The gunners loaded and fired the cannons as fast as they could, and even some junior officers directly picked up the hot cannons and pressed the muzzles of the cannons against the heads of the Amaterasu soldiers who climbed the wall, scattering a puff of lead bullets like a torrential rain.

Scarlett and Ni Yuanyuan followed behind Chu Lingfeng, forming a small three-talent formation with her, rushing back and forth on the city, and chopping the Amaterasu officers who jumped on the city one by one into pieces.

The little dragon girl holds a halberd and rushes wherever it is most dangerous. She swept through the city like an angry dragon, rolling heads or stumps everywhere she went. Occasionally, the thunderous green dragon halberd swept out a thunderous wind roar, and swept the Amaterasu officers out of the ground with their hands and danced and threw them out.

Li Qing stood on the inner wall of the second floor, constantly firing his bow and arrows.

The powerful iron folding bow shot out the long arrows weighing three taels of arrows, and drilled into the eye sockets of Amaterasu in the terrible sound of breaking the air, and penetrated into the cranial cavity.

The city wall became a flesh mill, and blood was shed everywhere above and below the city, gradually smearing the outward side of the wall into a bright red from top to bottom.

While the two armies were fighting, the artillery battle continued.

Amaterasu's artillery positions were constantly firing shells in an attempt to destroy the forts in the castle so that the defenders' artillery could not be used to stop Amaterasu's infantry. The artillery of the Imperial defenders also continued to erupt with furious flames, ignoring the Amaterasu's artillery positions and focusing only on the black frenzy that was pouring towards the city walls.

The artillery position of the Amaterasu Army is guarded by more than a hundred gold-level powerhouses. Under the protection of those more than a hundred gold-level powerhouses, the Imperial Army was simply unable to destroy the artillery positions of the Amaterasu Army.

Even so, the Imperial artillery desperately let the Amaterasu artillery bombard indiscriminately, and only stopped the Amaterasu infantry with one force.

Anyway, ordinary artillery could not destroy the city walls, and it was impossible to capture the fortress with artillery alone. As long as the Amaterasu infantry can be killed, even if the Amaterasu army does not damage a single artillery piece and does not damage a single artilleryman, the final victory will still belong to the Imperial army.

When the Tianzhao Army was in full formation and ready for battle, the artillery bombardment of the Imperial Army would hardly yield any results. But when the Tianzhao Army launched a charge and was densely crowded, a random shot could always hit a few heads. Even if some of the shells were intercepted by the low- and middle-ranking officers of the Amaterasu Army, more shells would still fall into the crowd and knock down several Amaterasu infantry.

On the side of the Imperial Army, the terrain of the fortress was superior, and it was protected by heavy walls and artillery forts, while the artillery position of the Amaterasu Army was located at the foot of the mountain, and it could only be fired from the bottom to the top, not to mention the extremely low hit rate, and many of the artillery forts were also located in the blind spots of the Amaterasu artillery. Therefore, even if the Imperial artillery did not fight back, it would be impossible for the Amaterasu artillery to destroy all the batteries in the fortress.

Boom Boom! Another round of artillery was fired at the same time in the positions of the two armies.

Two clusters of red-hot shells staggered across the sky, rushing headlong towards their respective targets. The cannonballs fired by the Imperial Army smashed waves of blood in the Amaterasu army, and the cannonballs of the Amaterasu Army had few results, and more only smashed pieces of stone chips that shot from all sides.

Amaterasu artillery occasionally wanted to support the infantry who had ascended the castle.

But when they opened fire on the city, Susu would give a timely warning, and the Imperial defenders quickly took refuge in the preset bunkers, leaving only the officers who were not afraid of ordinary artillery to remain at the head of the city.

The inferior terrain and the preset bunkers caused most of the Anamesasu's artillery bombardment to fail, and the remaining half fell directly into the formation of their own army. Not only did it fail to play a supporting role, but it killed and injured many of its own people.

After several attempts, the Amaterasu artillery abandoned supporting the infantry and concentrated on bombarding the batteries in the fortress.

Among them were ten heavy guns, specifically aimed at Susu.

In order to control the overall situation, Su Su sat on the highest fort in the fortress. This certainly gave her an extremely wide field of vision, but it also made her lose all cover and be directly exposed to the Amaterasu's field of vision from any position.

Fortunately, her position was extremely high, and in the Amaterasu artillery position, except for the ten heavy guns with the largest caliber and the longest range, none of its more than 100 artillery pieces could hit the battery where she was. Otherwise, even if Amaterasu left all the other targets alone, he would keep bombarding her.

Even if more than a hundred artillery pieces were fired in a salvo, it was unlikely to pose a threat to her, but at least it could consume her spells and drain her energy. And a spellcaster who consumes a lot of spells and energy, even if it is a legendary mage, will be much less dangerous.

It's a pity that only ten guns were able to get hold of the battery where Susu was located.

And the firing of only ten artillery pieces did not need Su Su to resist. There was a platoon of heavily armored warriors with tower shields surrounding Susu, blocking cannonballs for her.

Song Qiqi also held a thick tower shield in both hands, guarding behind Su Su, and let out a loud shout from time to time, flying a cannonball grid that broke through the air. With her current strength, although she is not suitable for participating in white-knuckle combat because she has zero combat experience, she is also qualified to be used as a guard to block cannonballs.

Su Su ignored the incoming shells and only observed the battle situation intently.

From time to time, she issued one order after another, either instructing the platoon artillery to fire a salvo to intercept the Amaterasu infantry who had been put in later, or instructing a group of elite reserves to be thrown into the city, appearing at a critical position where Xiaolongnu and the others had not been able to arrive, and knocking down the Amaterasu army that had broken through the city wall.

Or instruct a squad that has been fighting for too long and has suffered too much damage to evacuate the city with the wounded under the cover of friendly forces and enter a safe area to rest.

During the battle of the port fortress, Su Su's orders could only be given to Li Qing alone, and Li Qing commanded on her behalf, which was not very efficient. But even then, under her command, the port defenders still intercepted the Amaterasu army for a long time with their weak forces and combat effectiveness, causing serious casualties to the Amaterasu's army.

And this hilltop fortress, when Su Su gives an order, her voice can sound in the ears of all the soldiers who receive the order at the same time, no matter how loud the noise of the battlefield is, every soldier who needs to accept her instructions can always hear her voice clearly. Others, however, are unable to hear her and are not disturbed in any way.

Before the war, Su Su divided the entire fortress into hundreds of districts in detail. The only section of the city wall that came into direct contact with the enemy was precisely divided into twenty small areas by her. The code name of each area was sent to the defenders of the empire to keep them firmly in mind.

The Imperial defenders, including the Amaterasu Servants, were also organized into squads. Each squad ranges from 10 to 100 people according to their combat effectiveness, and each squad code is specified so that each squad member can remember it firmly.

In the midst of the battle, Susu simply said the code of each squad and asked them to rush to her designated area. The teams were able to get to exactly where she wanted them to be, under her instructions.

There may be a little confusion in it, or there may be Imperial soldiers in the heat of battle, forgetting the key words they have written down, but it doesn't hurt.

Even if some of the soldiers who hit the blood on the blood forget, the friendly troops can remind them in time. And Susu's crisp and beautiful voice, which can ring in the ears of every soldier who receives orders, can always quench their fanaticism in time and bring back their sanity.

Under Su Su's precise command, the Imperial Army was like a sophisticated machine, busy and running at high speed. Even the seemingly chaotic battlefield at the head of the city was under Su Su's control. Xiaolongnu, Scarlett, Ni Yuanyuan, and Chu Lingfeng also accept Su Su's command, and they can always appear in the most critical position in time.

Even Li Qing, who cast cold arrows on the second inner wall, was mostly designated by Su Su for his shooting targets. As a result, every time Li Qing shoots someone, he can instantly turn the tide of battle in a small area.

Because of her command, the Amaterasu army was never able to gain a foothold in the castle, no matter what the cost was. The Imperial defenders, on the other hand, alternated in turn, with each squad able to rest after a certain level of fighting. Every wounded person can be treated in time, take care of their injuries, rest for a while, and continue to fight.

Under the command of Su Su, although the Imperial Army was inevitably killed and wounded, the casualties were still within an acceptable range. And there are not many soldiers who really died in battle.

The Amaterasu, on the other hand, continued to lose a lot of blood. No matter how much price is paid, no matter how many people attack the city, they will always be quickly defeated by the elite reserves invested by Su Su in time, and they will never be able to build a foothold in the city.

The city was littered with severed heads and bloody corpses. Under the city are also mountains of corpses, and rivers of blood are flowing. Excited and frenzied shouts of killing, heart-rending screams, iron-like weapons clashing, dull body crashes, deafening gunfire...... There is no end in a moment, and every minute there are dozens of lives lost on the battlefield.

"Why is the resistance of the Imperial Army so fierce?" On the starting position of the Amaterasu Army, a pillar country-level powerhouse of Amaterasu Province said with a solemn expression: "It's been an hour since the start of the battle, and our army has suffered heavy losses, but we can't even gain a foothold in the city. How the hell is this fought? Is the superiority of our army's forces all fake? ”

"The Marines of the Imperial Army are really powerful. The soldiers are strong and well-armed. Every ordinary soldier has a low-level spiritual weapon-level weapon, which can easily cut through the armor of our soldiers. Every bronze-level low-level officer can wear a full set of low-level spiritual weapon-level battle armor, which makes the ordinary soldiers of our army helpless. But in any case, our army should not be so embarrassed. ”

Another pillar country-level powerhouse in his fifties said: "Our army is a super elite army formed by drawing the elites of various legions. The ratio of officers to soldiers reached 1:10, and there were hundreds of silver-level officers. Even if the equipment is not as good as the Imperial Army, it should not be fought very hard. ”

Amaterasu is barren in national power, and the weapons of ordinary soldiers are just ordinary refined steel. Only officers above the level of Bronze can be equipped with weapons of the low-level spirit weapon. Spirit-level armor, which is tens or hundreds of times more expensive than weapons, can only be equipped by silver-level officers.

In the Imperial Army, such as the Navy, as well as elite corps and main legions such as the Marine Corps, even ordinary soldiers have low-level spiritual weapon-level weapons, and bronze-level officers begin to be equipped with low-level spiritual weapon-level battle armor, and middle-level officers' battle armor is even better. In terms of equipment, the Imperial Army has an absolute advantage.

If there is not much difference in the strength of the two sides, the side with the superior equipment will have relatively strong combat power. But the problem is that the Amaterasu Army is composed of elites, which can greatly offset the difference in combat power caused by equipment. The Amaterasu Army is several times larger than the Imperial Army, even if it is three for one and four for one, it should not be fought to this extent.

"It can't be delayed any longer." A pillar country-level powerhouse said, "The losses of the Silver Shield Knight and the mages have already made Master Hopkins angry. If we drag it out any longer, I'm afraid the Overseers will have to find us. Ten of us went into battle together and took action in person, not believing that the Imperial Army could stop us! ”

Soon, ten pillar country-level powerhouses of Amaterasu Province left their starting positions and headed towards the hilltop fortress!
