"Chapter 116: Unsuccessful Street Fighting"

It is ironic that the big turtle ran away, and the giant tortoise Kubaron, which is known for its ferocity among the turtle monsters, actually ran away. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info but its escape also caused us a lot of trouble, the 10-meter-diameter crater destroyed the street, and the same large hole blocked the way we rushed through. The faces of the soldiers on the other side showed that they were also very speechless about the giant tortoise's escape, but they still did not intend to give up.

In front of him was the big hole, nearly ten meters in diameter, and it was difficult for even giants to get through. And all around is the wreckage of the building that was knocked down by the magic earthquake just now, and it is very troublesome for the troops to get around. This gave us a lot of headaches and also gave the other party a chance.

The archers on the opposite side began to take advantage of the moment to shoot arrows, and the other soldiers had enough time to block the streets, blocking us with all sorts of rough and improvised barricades. They want to start a street fight, stalling for time. I wasn't too annoyed by that, though, because we took the walls very quickly, and the city didn't have an inner wall, only a few not-so-strong towers to defend, and we still had time to lose. According to the intelligence, Kuba returned after capturing Amur, apparently because of problems within the legion. Now unless all the reinforcements of the Legion fly over, they will not be able to support the city that they have just captured.

''Lower the ladder and build a bridge!'' Philip knocked a number of arrows out of the air with a sword aura, and under his command, the ladder (provided by the Alliance) that had been used to siege the city was lowered, and our soldiers began to rush over the bridge. Giants are too large to jump, but they can easily climb onto the roofs of surrounding houses and walk around as they dismantle them.

The Legion obviously didn't want us to get through it, the stronger officers of the Legion and the magicians stationed in the city attacked together, using a repulsive method, once our men were defeated, it would take several minutes to climb up, and once the skeleton troops fell, they were easily smashed by other fallen troops. I really wanted to use ladders to cover the pit, but Locke Lauren didn't have a few ladders for us before I came, and our troops had to pass through so crowded. I really hate that big turtle right now, the damage this guy does is so annoying.

However, our troops could not be stopped, and the archers and musketeers in the back of our rows kept firing at each other, suppressing the archers of the opposing side. Fang Zi also used a large number of barbarians with artillery to kill the city wall, and opened fire on the defenders in the city while cleaning up the remnants of the legion. The giants and skeletons threw a large amount of debris and rocks into the pit, raising the depth of the pit so that our tens of thousands of skeleton troops could crawl directly through the pit.

Our troops quickly rushed forward, and the Legion's troops continued to retreat, forming a tight formation, engaging our troops directly, providing cover for the troops above the surrounding towers, and holding us back.

Rooney was a clever fellow, and he saw that our troops were crowded into the pits, and the ladders that supported forces like the Barbarians and the Militia were fragile. He threw "burst spears" at us from so far to bombard our troops crossing the bridge! He's far away from us, farther than those towers. If he were standing on those towers, our cannon might be able to hit him, but he was standing on those distant buildings, and he was always moving, and it was not easy to aim.

Unlike other soldiers who use some auxiliary weapons to help throw, these burst spears are thrown by him by his own strength, and he can quickly throw those heavy and unstable weapons while running at a distance of hundreds of meters, and he still wants to aim, which can only be done by the combat master level and above.

The eight-kilogram red spears flew into the pit with sparks, or fell into the rushing legionnaires. The violent explosion destroyed most of the skeletons in the pit, and the ladders were also blown off, and the soldiers on the ladders fell into the flames and bones.

β€œTNND!” I couldn't hold back the anger in my heart, and I almost dropped the telescope in my hand. The dozen or so burst spears had caused the loss of thousands of skeletons, as well as the death of several squads of barbarians and militiamen. Neither Philip nor I could tolerate the enemy reimbursing us so many troops at such a small cost, so we ordered our troops to continue to charge, stepping on the wreckage of the skeleton soldiers that were about to fill the crater, and I wanted to crush my army and devour the opposing troops, and crush their ridiculous ideas of street fighting with the cannons of Fang Zi!

As I thought about it, we had received a message from the troops on the other side of the western wall (a firework cannonball, provided by the gunpowder workshop in Fangzi) that they had broken the western gate, and that the city had been half taken by us. I ordered all my troops to rush forward, no matter how great the casualties, just take the city of Amur!

Relying on the bridge built by thousands of skeletons with their own bodies, our large army soon rushed into the city, and under the fierce attack of the large army, the troops blocking us were quickly crushed and kept fleeing into the city.

''Bump!! The giant's fist kept slamming down on the ten-meter-high towers, and the giants who had returned to their old jobs seemed very happy, and they tirelessly pounded on the poor towers, which soon fell a large number of stones, and the archers on them staggered in the earthquake-like shock, and could only rely on a certain position to dodge, where there was still time to shoot arrows at the enemy.

''Boom!'' In less than five minutes, a giant destroyed the entire stone arrow tower, the whole tower broke and fell down, and a large number of stones fell on the giant's body, but they didn't care, the leg wound that had just been scratched by the giant turtle was already scarred, they patted the falling rocks and dust on their bodies, bounced off the legion archers who fell on their shoulders, and then waved their fists to the next target, as for the attacks of the legionnaires, it was like giving them an itch.

As the giants destroyed the towers, tens of thousands of skeletons and thousands of other troops poured into the streets to clear the barricades that the remnants of the Legion had set up in the city. The Legion thought they would have an advantage in street fighting, but it turned out that in street fighting in the city of Amur, they did not have any advantage over us.

The Legion's attack was very sudden, although there was an internal line in the city to respond, but most of the soldiers of the Legion were not clear about the specific layout of the Amur, although they had a great time eating, drinking and having fun these days, but this did not mean that they were familiar with most of the streets in the city. The original inhabitants of the city of Amur were now hiding in their homes, and the family gathered together trembling and waiting for the battle to end. Their invasion of a house may be met with resistance from the residents, and they will also bring in the opposing troops. However, when fighting in the streets, most of the legionnaires arranged the barricades very haphazardly, or arranged them too intensively, so that we easily took half of the streets of Amur from two directions, occupied half of the city, and divided the rest of the army.

To be honest, the city of Amur is still very large, and when I entered the city, I saw that the streets were lined with small Western-style buildings with two to three floors, and the streets were also wide enough to accommodate three horse-drawn carriages running side by side. If we scatter tens of thousands of our troops into street fighting, I am afraid that we will have to entangle with the legion for a long time and pay a great price to take it. However, the unfamiliarity of the Legion gave us a very good opportunity, and we had some elite small troops sent to us by Archon Locke, who were not many in number, but they were all veterans of the city, and they were familiar with the layout of the city. Under their guidance, we were able to concentrate our superior forces from different directions to take down many of the legions' barricades, and occupy some important places, such as tax offices and granaries.

Things went more smoothly than we thought, and by the time Rooney found out that his forces were so scattered and badly distributed, we had taken most of the city, cleared the scattered barricades and legionnaires, and surrounded their main forces in two parts of the city. One is the city center, and the core building is the city council, which covers a fifth of the entire city. It is likely that Rooney was leading the elite troops there, and based on aerial reconnaissance of the undead, we can determine that at least two-thirds of the Legion's forces in Amur were stationed there, with ballistas on the rooftops and blocking the streets with a few old chariots. The legion troops there had great firepower, and it was no less difficult to attack there than to attack the outer walls.

The other area was on the west side of the city, where the legions had temporarily set up a barracks after entering the city, and which was now besieged by more than 5,000 skeletons and a thousand barbarian and militia troops who had attacked the western wall, and where there were many legionnaires' powerful weapons, with which more than a thousand legionnaires and wounded were fighting our attacking troops. And we only have one giant and ten low-level guns over there, and the firepower is not enough to take it quickly, so the two sides are in a stalemate.

''Siege the city center, trap Rooney's troops there, and don't give them a chance to break out. Attack the city barracks, dispose of the legionnaires and their weapons, and then attack the city center with all your might, and take down the city council! β€˜β€™

Philip drew a map of the city of Amur with his sword, then drew the position of the legion and gave his plan.

"We can also take the city center first, the legion troops in the west city will not be able to break through our army defenses, and when we take the city center, the troops there will not be able to attack themselves." Finley proposed another plan, he also thought that it would be "unwise" to leave so many forces to besiege the West City and then take the rest of the troops to attack the city center, but he was more worried that Rooney would break through our encirclement and break out of the city, which was not a good thing, and his current strength was likely to do so.

Both options worked, but after discussing them with Fang Zi, we chose the first option--- we were worried that if we couldn't attack the city center with all our might, there might be more trouble.

Without further ado, send a part of the troops to tentatively attack the downtown area, and the rest of the troops will immediately assemble and take the military camp to the west as quickly as possible! β€˜β€™
