The soldier who had been put down by the hanging basket was still unable to complete his mission, and before the hanging basket was close to the city gate, before he could reach the point where he could throw the cannonball in his hand, an arrow killed him. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

But this is not the end, the first brigade has three hundred soldiers, and in the blink of an eye, two more hanging baskets were put down, and two soldiers with bitter white faces were unfortunately selected, and once again began to carry out this task that could easily cost their lives.

But this time, although two soldiers went down, there was only one shell.

The value of alchemy cannonballs is not low, where can so much be wasted?

One of the soldiers holding the alchemy cannonball had the same task as the previous one, while the other guy who didn't have the cannonball had one more job to do - he had to jump onto another gondola as the basket descended and pick up the cannonball from the corpse of the previous soldier and reuse it.

Bad luck, the empty-handed soldier jumped from one hanging basket to another in the process, I don't know if it was due to nervousness or too difficult, he couldn't jump well, fell from a height of nearly ten meters and about three floors, and broke a leg, but before he could scream, he was chopped off by the soldiers of the Marlon Legion who surrounded him.

The other man succeeded in lighting the fire and successfully throwing the cannonball down, but he was too desperate for his life, and the cannonball he threw did not hit the target, although it killed several soldiers of the Marlon Legion, but the crashing car was still hitting the city gate one by one.

He was quickly pulled up, and without any accidents on the way, he successfully stepped on the city wall alive.

But before this guy could breathe a sigh of relief, his captain slapped his head and face: "Have all the things I told you before become wind in your ears?" Tell you to drop to a height of three meters and then throw a bomb, throw it closer, who told you to throw it so early? ”

The soldier covered his face, and he couldn't say what he was suffering for.

Indeed, there was a requirement for a height of three meters before, but when he was there, he realized how terrifying three meters really was - if the enemy soldiers jumped up, they could cut him with weapons in their hands!

"Give me one more time! If you can't finish this time, I won't pull you up! The captain said again viciously. Without giving him any chance to intercede, he shoved a cannonball into his arms again and pushed him into the hanging basket.

On the other side, an even less fortunate soldier took on the task of picking up the lost cannon hanging in mid-air.

The soldiers next to him were a little unbearable, and at the same time they were also afraid that this task would fall on their heads. Their gaze at their captain has changed a little, and they are a little dissatisfied, this task of sending them to death is really inhumane.

The captain still had a hard look on his face, as if he didn't care about the looks.

But where does he really not care? It just can't be helped.

This plan was made by Verina herself. It's still a cruel practice, and the soldiers who are sent down have a high chance of completing the mission, but the survival rate is terrifyingly low.

She didn't understand this truth, but she still pressed the captain and kept sending her soldiers to death, in order to complete the difficult task.

This is easy to understand from Verina's own point of view, just like when she decisively gave up the soldiers at the city gates, it is also a cruel but intellectually easy to understand.

How many soldiers were sacrificed to prevent the city gates from being breached? This number, Verina has no bottom in her heart, but if you really want to measure it, it is definitely more valuable than a brigade of soldiers.

In this case, she will not hesitate at all - the big deal is that the first brigade is all dead, and three hundred soldiers are all going down the hanging basket, and they can not succeed even once?

That's what she thought, and she did it without any pressure.

The first brigade of soldiers was constantly being lowered near the city gate, and at first, Marlon's men didn't understand what they were going to do, but when two bombs exploded around them, it would be foolish not to react.

It's just a pity that there are no archers among the soldiers who have been mobilized to attack the city gates and walls, and the one who was shot before was killed by a stray arrow shot by an archer hundreds of meters away.

This kind of stray arrow is quite lucky, although they have temporarily mobilized crossbowmen to come, but of course it is impossible for Verina on the city wall to let Ma Long's long-range attack troops approach so easily, and they have been suppressing it.

However, this did not mean that the soldiers under the city walls who were protecting the rushing carts were unable to deal with the people in the hanging baskets.

When the basket is placed lower, the soldiers will throw their weapons at them.

Of course, this is not as accurate as close shooting, but at least it is a countermeasure.

Not to mention, the effect is still there, and several soldiers on the hanging basket were thrown to death in this way.

When nearly twenty soldiers of the garrison battalion were killed as a result, the rest of the people were very resistant to the task, and no one was willing to continue even under the constant pressure of officers at all levels.

This is not the same as fighting to the death on the battlefield, facing the enemy's blade on the battlefield, no matter how desperate it is, the soldiers have more or less the idea and courage to fight to the death.

But now, in this situation of one dying one by one, it is difficult for people to raise any courage.

The captain was quite helpless, and just as he was about to say something more harshly, he saw Verina come over.

"Why don't you continue to carry out the order?"

"Legion Commander ......"

Verina wasn't actually asking, the meaning of this sentence was more questioning.

When the captain was at a loss, she simply called out the two soldiers and asked them to go down.

One of them refused, and the paladin didn't care, and slashed it with a sword.

Stepping on the head that rolled to her feet, Verina said coldly: "What was the first thing I said to you on the first day you entered the training camp? Whether in wartime or peacetime, those who do not follow orders will be executed on the spot! ”

The Paladin General, who was once amiable in the eyes of the soldiers, is now as hard as steel.

Soon, under her personal supervision, two more soldiers were put down by the hanging baskets, and as a result, they died without incident, and none of them survived.

Verina didn't even frown, and two more soldiers were let go.

With the lessons of the past, who dares not to follow?

This time it was lucky, there was a boom, and the bomb finally exploded.

It wasn't that there were no bomb explosions before. It's just that the previous explosions failed to blow up the rushing car, and at best exploded nearby. There are still some threats, but not too much.

And this time, the bomb landed right above the rushing car! (To be continued.) )
