Push back a little bit further.

When the surging army approached, the atmosphere in the "Holy Radiance City" was undoubtedly suppressed to the extreme.

All the inhabitants tightened their doors, and the streets crisscrossed the streets with a large number of soldiers running back and forth.

In the arrow towers of varying heights and heights, a soldier had already adjusted the hard bows in his hands, these excellent war bows that had been improved several times, with the advantage of top-down shooting, those sharp feathered arrows made of steel were enough to shoot a hundred and fifty paces away, or even farther!

And in the seemingly inconspicuous holes in the city wall, a ballista has already adjusted the angle of fire, as long as the enemy on the opposite side rises, the stone bullets filled in it will be ruthlessly poured down.

They naturally knew the strength of the enemy they were facing this time, but with the help of the castle's terrain advantage, they had absolute confidence that they could stop the enemy in front of them here, or at least, delay their progress for a while.

However, to the confusion of these soldiers, why did the other side not attack.

But the next moment, with the explosion of thunder across the sky, he also understood the reason for all this.

***********

"Captain, what's that?"

Peter subconsciously looked in the direction pointed by the soldier on the side, and just saw a little phantom flashing, but a huge roar suddenly sounded.

"Boom"

The voice was loud and strong, but it was so abrupt that it exploded in his ears like thunder.

The high-speed spinning iron ball was like thunder and lightning, like a vast meteor falling from the vast sky, and then smashed the heavy city wall, and then with the falling iron ball as the center, bursts of cracks spread like spider webs to the surrounding areas quickly emerged.

Before Peter could react to what was going on, the loud roar rang out again.

And with the slightly suppressed roar of rage, the thick wall that was enough to withstand the stone bullet attack in Peter's eyes was a massive crack.

With a crisp cracking sound, the flying stone fragments began to dance like sharp blades.

And after that, the apocalyptic scene begins to emerge from Peter's vision...... One by one.

"Ahem......"

The choking breath continued to burrow into his nose, so that Lawson couldn't help coughing twice, but with the slight tremor of his body, a more intense pain on his right leg hit by a stone also continued to stimulate his senses.

"Ahh......h Whew......"

Struggling to push away the stones that pressed on his body, as if stimulated by some intense pain, Rosen's face instantly turned red, his whole face began to distort, and beads of sweat the size of beans kept dripping down his forehead.

Yin Hong's blood continued to flow out along his thighs, and the intense pain was like a tidal wave, constantly hitting his body, but at this time, he didn't know whether he was unlucky or lucky.

Just now, with the roar that tore through the sky, a black iron ball swept past him, and one of his companions, who was still standing with him, couldn't even make a wail, and in an instant turned into a blurred pulp.

Before Lawson could react to what was going on, the wave of qi brought up by the iron ball after it landed rolled towards him ragingly, and at the same time, the splintered stones driven by the surging air wave also began to kill mercilessly like a hundred ghosts at night.

"Don't mess around, don't take your head out and hide behind the walls!"

The loud roar of the cannon was still vibrating, and Peter's roar was echoing with it.

It's just that in the face of this incomprehensible terrifying force, chaos is unavoidable, and the sudden change makes all the soldiers panic, and no one knows what is happening.

All kinds of wails, roars, and screams instantly filled the entire city wall.

"Boom Boom"

Several loud roars like thunder sounded, and when they heard this roar like a prelude to victory, the soldiers on the city wall ran in confusion one by one.

As the atmosphere of panic continued to expand, Rosen also instinctively wanted to escape from here, but as soon as his body moved, a suppressed muffled snort came out of his mouth.

Subconsciously looked over, I saw that a piece of flesh and blood on my thigh was all dented, and where the flesh was blurred, there was still a trace of minced flesh that had not been completely separated, and the coarse linen clothes at the corners of the trousers had already been torn apart, but under the soaking of the red blood, it was impossible to see the previous color at all.

Looking at the iron ball that fell from the sky again, Rosen could only reluctantly close his eyes, ready to accept his tragic fate.

The expected loud bang came as expected, and the huge tremors seemed to tear the earth apart.

However, at this moment of life and death, someone suddenly dragged Rosen's body over, allowing him to escape, but with the almost endless smashing of iron balls like meteors in the sky, on the heavy city wall, gaps the size of basins continued to emerge.

"Devil, these guys are devils!"

I don't know who shouted, and then took the lead and ran down the city wall.

And with the other party's escape, the already chaotic battlefield instantly fell into a complete desperate situation.

No soldier was stupidly hiding behind the city walls, and one after another the figures ran desperately down the city, as if a moment later, the scythe of death would fall from the sky.

And under this huge death threat, how can there be the slightest discipline at all, one by one pushing each other and frantically squeezing forward, someone accidentally fell to the ground, but he couldn't even do a little struggle, and his body was crushed by the surging crowd behind.

Peter stared blankly at the scene in front of him, and opened his mouth to shout something, but in the end, he just opened his mouth and shouted nothing.

It's just that in those gloomy eyes, the anger is gradually passing away......

*********

"Adjust the accuracy of the shot, the muzzle is deflected to the left."

"Ready, launch!"

The moment the hot iron tongs came into contact with the coarse linen of fire, several gunners quickly retreated to avoid being injured by mistake, but while they blocked their ears with their hands, their eyes were still staring at the barrel that began to go crazy.

"Boom!"

With the blazing light rising, the high-speed spinning iron ball once again struck like a sharp blade.

The black-pressed solid iron ball fell on the city wall, and with the violent explosion, it brought out stone chips and smoke all over the ground.

A few soldiers who had no time to dodge only felt that their vision darkened, and they fell into an eternal sleep.

The original half-bent body was ruthlessly slashed by a giant blade at this time, the upper body of the body was cut off at the waist, blood mixed with various internal organs flowed to the ground, and the bloody breath continued to spread.

As the cannonballs fell, flames and smoke filled the room, and violent coughing and shouting, noisy wails and moans were all intertwined, like music before the end of the world.

All the soldiers were fleeing frantically, but the iron balls that fell from time to time completely ignored their thoughts, and because of the escape, a large number of people were crowded together, and in the face of the sudden falling cannonballs, even if everyone wanted to dodge, it was difficult to do anything.

……

Peter looked blankly at the group of fleeing soldiers in front of him, and a bitter smile mixed with pain appeared on his face, although when the devil's power first showed its hideousness, he expected his own rout, but he never imagined that everything would end so quickly.

There is not even a little resistance, the only belief in the hearts of all soldiers is only one word, escape!

However, just as everyone was huddled together, a black cannonball appeared again in the bright sky, and then coincidentally, it exploded in the center of the fleeing militia.

The stump was mixed with tumbling flesh, and under the action of the rising wave, it rippled like a tide.

The scattered stone chips swept around in a swarm, and under the raging air waves, the stone chips that were originally not lethal were now turned into scythes in the hands of the god of death, ruthlessly harvesting life in this tumbling crowd.

The high-speed flying stone chips, like sharp blades, pierced through the armor outside, and then mercilessly plunged into the chest of the soldier.

And after that shell fell, even greater riots and trampling inevitably spread.

And with that roar, the entire city wall has also become a hell on earth, and countless ghosts are constantly wailing in it, but no matter how terrible the scream, it cannot change their tragic fate.

In fact, due to a complete ignorance of the enemy's armament, the casualties caused by the first few rounds of artillery salvos were far less than expected.

The originally incomparably strong city wall was broken into many pieces at this time, and although it did not cause any effective damage, the rising air waves and gunpowder smoke alone were enough to make people feel deep awe of this terrifying might.

After a round of firing, the gunners in the rear began to reload nervously again, and after a short silence, the fire rose again.

After several successive shots, through the screams coming from inside the city, the artillery in the rear also quickly adjusted the angle and direction of the fire.

And as the blazing light continued to emerge, more and more rapid screams and wails also continued to emerge.

The human body, in front of the roaring iron ball, still seems too fragile after all, even if it is just a broken stone jumping up, the sturdy chain mail worn by those guards may not be able to protect their safety.

The thick smoke of gunpowder dispersed with the wind, but the bloody smell that diffused through the air could not be suppressed.

As round after round of artillery roared, the noise slowly fell silent, and the next few spearmen also tentatively launched a charge.

The city's defenses in front of him seemed to have been completely destroyed by the blazing artillery fire, and those soldiers who were hiding in the light and in the shadows had also entered heaven with the gate of light that had emerged before.

Even if he was already within range of the opponent, there was no sign of attack.

But as the spear infantry continued to advance forward, Chopin's uneasy premonition grew stronger.

"Whoosh"

With a sharp whistling sounded suddenly, the original dead silence was also torn apart.

Dozens or hundreds of feathered arrows suddenly shot out from the surrounding arrow towers and tall buildings, and regardless of the power, the momentum of the locust roar alone was enough to make most people feel awe.

The soldiers who had been scattered before were just those temporarily conscripted troops, but more of the elite who belonged directly to Forderson's men were still holding on.

Whether it's hand-to-hand combat or long-range archery, these guys are first-class good players.

And the sharp spearhead made of steel with the help of the inertia of falling from top to bottom, the penetration and impact of the instant burst are also quite not to be underestimated, even if these spearmen are wearing the chain mail they captured before, those whistling feather arrows still ruthlessly penetrate through, and then fiercely plunged into it.

Of course, with the blessing of chain mail, as long as they are not shot in the head and eyes by those feathered arrows, then these spearmen will basically not suffer any fatal damage.

With that round of arrows thrown, the spearmen who rushed out first inevitably let out screams and suppressed sounds, and from time to time a few figures fell to the ground.

And almost at the same time as those feather arrows were thrown, the ballistae that had been silent for a long time also began to show their unique hideousness, although the power of the stone projectiles fired at high speed could not be compared with the shells fired by the artillery, but the amazing power generated in an instant was not inferior at all.

If the previous salvo of feathered arrows could only play a harassing role for these spearmen, then the stone bullets dropped from the sky at this time were almost fatal to these town militiamen.

Stone bullets smashed down on the spearmen, smashing the figures to the ground, but the shattered stones still inflicted secondary damage on the surrounding warriors.

After the stone bullets were fired through the ballista equipped with torsion springs, the spearmen below could only faintly see a phantom figure passing by, and their bodies were helplessly hit by the stone bullets.

Even if the seemingly tough ** is protected by chain mail, in the face of this unimaginable force, it is instantly smashed and twisted and deformed, and then cracked.

In the face of these formidable defenders, the fearless charge launched by these spearmen did not have the slightest effect, but only added unnecessary casualties.

"Damn it!"

Looking at the falling spearmen, Chopin's face couldn't help but become gloomy like water.

"All retreat! Fall back! ”

After giving orders to the spearmen in front, Chopin immediately shouted at the warriors behind him.

"All line infantry, guns on the shoulder, fire!"

Hearing Chopin's roar, the disciplined line infantry also quickly stepped forward, and then one by one put the flintlock pistols in their hands on their shoulders, aimed at all the previously leaked fire points, and launched a round of frantic shooting.
