Most of the soldiers in this wing are made up of pure swordsmen, with a few squadrons of sword dancers and rangers, and a large group of crossbowmen. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Looking at the structure of such a force, we can see that this is not actually a unit that has always been good at defense, but more of a storming team.

In other words, when Dane first arranged for them to 'protect' the artillery formation, in case the enemy suddenly sent out of the city to attack the artillery formation, he actually had the idea of letting these people be the first-hand siege team.

The co-captain of this team is Caroline. She is Delina's good sister, in the era of the Pure Sword Mercenary Regiment, she was Alexandrina's most important right and left hand, and under Dane's command, she also hung up the rank of colonel and became the leader of the first army.

After receiving the order to attack, she had to move forward with her troops, no matter how unhappy she was.

At first, their position had not yet surpassed the artillery formation, the situation was good, and most of the enemy's firepower was clearly still heading towards the artillery formation. But the crews pushing the heavy guns certainly couldn't move faster, and it didn't take long for them to be overtaken by Caroline's troops.

In other words, Caroline's troops were even more within the enemy's best range of fire than their own artillery formations.

In order to avoid being hit by too much fire, Caroline naturally chose to charge in a skirmish.

That's right, it's the charge.

She wanted to be able to rush through the enemy's line of fire as quickly as possible.

Artillery, bed crossbows and trebuchets all have a certain range, and these powerful heavy equipment can hit relatively far, but if they rush under the city wall, it is difficult for these things to turn the muzzle of the cannon to strike at the position directly below themselves.

As long as they can rush through, Caroline's troops still have a chance to survive.

Of course, after rushing closer, the enemy at the head of the city still has bows and arrows in their hands, and even closer, there are things like sasswood and rolling stones, which can also cause considerable damage to them.

How to deal with these things, Caroline hasn't figured it out yet, and she really can't come up with any good solutions. The only thing they can rely on is the strong crossbowman brigade under their command, and it can only be seen whether they can suppress the enemy's strength as much as possible by shooting at the enemy in the city.

With these jumbled thoughts in her head, Caroline led her army into the enemy's best range of fire.

The roar of fiery boulders, the explosion of cannonballs, and the breaking of the wind of the giant bolts of the bed crossbows were all too close to pose a threat to the charging soldiers!

Caroline looked left and right, and the skirmish line drawn by her men had become a mess. Under the enemy's heavy blows, almost instantly, a large number of soldiers were killed.

And the death is so miserable!

Hit by a fiery boulder thrown by a trebuchet or hit by an alchemy cannonball, it was impossible to keep the whole corpse. was shot by a giant crossbow, and it seemed that there could be a whole corpse, but it was actually the worst.

A crossbow bolt as thick as a thigh, passing through the human body, brings out a huge wound that is enough to kill anyone no matter how much it is placed on anyone. But the soldiers who are shot often do not die immediately, they fall to the ground, they can still convulse, as long as they are not shot through the chest, they can still let out a scream. But everyone knows, including the person who was shot, that he is dead.

It's a cruel thing to do. Caroline saw with her own eyes that a good friend who was usually very close to her, a good friend with the rank of captain, who would soon be promoted to major and captain, was shot through the stomach by a giant crossbow arrow and nailed to the ground.

He screamed loudly, and when Caroline passed by him, he still stretched out his hand, and opened his mouth to say a word, only to make a 'uh-ah' sound, but those hopeful eyes wanted Caroline to save him.

However, Caroline could only shake her head with tears in her eyes. There was nothing she could do to save him, she didn't know if she would be able to break through this death zone, and she didn't even dare to stay here longer. All she could do was go up and pierce the captain's head with a sword to end his suffering as soon as possible.

But at this time, the fierce firepower that was still bombarding the sky one moment suddenly stopped abruptly the next moment!

Caroline looked up in amazement, and she saw that above the city of the Wasteland Pass, it was suddenly shrouded in darkness!

The black mist enveloped almost all the firepower points above the city wall of the pass! And the firefighters who have lost their vision will not be able to continue firing - hell, they are now in a state where they can't see their fingers, and they can't see the light even if they light up the flames, and they don't even want to find the firing position of the artillery, trebuchet, or bed crossbow, let alone aim!

Caroline was also an adventurer back then, and she recognized what those thick black fogs on the city's top were: dark magic!

Darkness is a one-ring spell that deprives the existence of all light within the spell's radius. The scope of this spell itself is not very large, but if it can cover all the castles facing Caroline and them, there must be many dark spells at work together, or simply several enhanced dark spells!

"Warriors! Take this opportunity! One step faster! ”

She didn't know where these dark spells came from, but she still called on her troops very decisively and launched a faster charge!

Actually, needless to say, the soldiers are not a bunch of blind people. Of course, they could see the changes in the city, no one knew how long these dark spells would last, and no one would give up this precious opportunity to be safe for a moment, and no one would want to stay in this dead land that would be covered by artillery fire for a second longer.

Everyone scrambled their legs as fast as they could.

And in this case, Caroline's control over the army can finally be strengthened. She hadn't forgotten Dane's order to their unit, she took the flag from the hands of the guards behind her, and then raised it high and personally rushed towards the gate of the wasteland pass!

Caroline's troops, under heavy enemy fire, were bombarded for two minutes, and then spent another two minutes rushing to the city gates.

Then, the drawbridge in front of the gates of the Wasteland Pass was lowered in front of them.
