The mercenaries' hammers continued to smash on the door, and the temporarily reinforced door was soon dented, and cracks spread in the panels.

The Rhodok crossbowmen kept aiming at the mercenaries below and shooting their own crossbow arrows, and the spearmen behind the gate also used their bodies to block the gate.

Several crossbow arrows were fired, and the helmet of a light infantryman was pierced directly, and he waved his arm a few times, after which he fell. Two other soldiers were also shot by crossbow arrows and retreated covering their wounds, while the mercenaries behind also picked up hammers and directly filled the vacancy just now.

The Wecchian archers on the other side of the trench raised their bows, mounted their expensive cone-headed arrows, and aimed at the Rhodoc crossbowmen who had lowered their heads. Once the cone-headed arrow falls on those people in the form of a parabola, even thick chain mail and inferior cuirass will be directly penetrated.

They had a rate of fire that was seven times faster than their opponents, and they had a big advantage in firing at each other. After a few rounds of shooting, the Vecchian archers killed three crossbowmen, and the other crossbowmen were suppressed and did not dare to raise their heads.

However, they didn't last long, and when the subsequent mercenaries rushed up with ramshells, the wooden door was finally smashed into a hole under the constant impact. The mercenaries around him also used axes and war hammers to expand the hole the size of a human head to more than half a meter wide, and then a mercenary cavalryman with an iron gauntlet approached the hole, stabbed a spearman in the chest behind the door with his sword, and put his entire arm in it when the other party let go of his hand, and pushed the deadbolt open.

A sword slashed into his hand, rubbing a series of sparks on the gauntlet. Then the mercenary stepped back and kicked the door open. The rest of the mercenaries also squeezed in, constantly using short weapons to scuttle the Rhodok guards in this crowded environment.

The bodies of the soldiers huddled together, shouting and shouting mixed with the friction of their armor, and all those behind could see were the arms that grasped the military hoe and the hammer, waved downward, and then lifted again with blood.

The Rhodok guards fought very bravely, but there were less than thirty guards in charge of the south gate, and there were less than fifty soldiers in disguise, and the main body was Rhodok spearmen, skilled spearmen, and skilled crossbowmen, with an average level of only 3. Not at all an opponent of a large number of seasoned mercenaries.

Equipped spearmen can still stand up a little, but those soldiers who have been disguised can't do it, their equipment is poor, and they really don't have any advantage in battle.

The sturdy mercenaries carried their rambling hammers and broke through the shield-wielding Rhodok soldiers, while the mercenaries behind broke through the gap and flanked them from behind. This line of defense made of bodies only existed for a few minutes before it collapsed under the onslaught of the Peony mercenaries.

However, the follow-up Rhodok reinforcements soon arrived, and as soon as they saw the mercenaries rushing into the city gate, they immediately lined up, raised their spears in unison, blocked the entire road, and slowly advanced step by step.

Several mercenaries rushed forward with spears and swords, but as soon as their spears were extended, they were all stabbed.

Byron had climbed the top of the wall with a ladder under John's protection, and saw the sturdy phalanx of Rhodok infantry, which looked like a tortoiseshell. In this street fighting situation, although the movement of the phalanx is limited, they can crush their troops like tanks with a single road and a spear.

"With a ramshell!"

Byron shouted at the top of his voice, and a crossbow bolt flew towards his head. Byron subconsciously lowered his head, and John's shield covered his body.

The bolt was nailed to the shield, and although he was a little frightened, Byron was unscathed.

At this moment a ramming hammer was also carried in, and the other mercenaries began to retreat, although they were more numerous, but they did not dare to approach the shield formation with broad shields and spears.

However, under Byron's order, several veterans of the Peony mercenary team also raised their hammers together, and then rushed over with a shout.

The other Peony veterans also raised their weapons and followed, and the atmosphere immediately spread, and most of the soldiers rushed towards the sturdy Rhodok phalanx under the leadership of these two ramming hammers.

The ramshell quickly slammed into Rhodok's broad shield, and under the combined impact of the six men, the two Rhodok soldiers were directly knocked to the ground, and the people behind them were forced to retreat, and some of them fell in the process.

At this time, the surrounding spears also stabbed out together, piercing the bodies of the first few mercenaries. The soldiers screamed and fell, but the hammers continued to ramble. Because behind them, there are many peony mercenaries holding the tail end of this big log.

The phalanx opened, and the two ramshells managed to attack through the gap. But that doesn't mean they've succeeded. As soon as the soldiers with ramshells rushed in, the Rhodok spearmen, who had just made way for them, plunged their spears into their bodies from both sides.

The gap in front was blocked by the Rhodok spearmen, and the soldiers holding the hammers were stabbed to death under the two-way attack.

But just by killing them, these Rhodok soldiers will not be able to achieve victory. There are more than three times as many mercenaries, and many of them are seasoned veterans. They can block spears with shields, numb their arms with their hammers, and stab their bodies through gaps with their swords.

The mercenaries who followed behind also threw the dropped weapons on the ground at Rhodok's phalanx at this time, because the number of people was small and did not adequately defend the position overhead, at least five people in the phalanx were injured by these weapons.

"Keep attacking, there aren't many of them!"

And Byron also found that this phalanx was of average thickness in the high places, and the number of soldiers did not exceed fifty. So he himself came down from the wall and, shouting to cheer up the soldiers, he raised his mace and took the lead in rushing over.

Fatis was startled when he saw Byron suddenly appear in front of the team, and hurriedly ran over to protect Byron. And Alleyne also wielded his moonblade axe, smashed through the opponent's defenses with the axe, and then sent them directly on their way.

Led by Byron and the heroes, the mercenaries' morale was boosted. Their attacks were even more frenzied, and the Rhodok phalanx continued to retreat under this attack, revealing gaps.

Soon, the area around the south gate was completely taken by the peony mercenaries.
