Along the road, resistance is weak, or almost none.

But immediately after, he was hacked to death by the Barbary pirates who rushed over, and he was not a threat at all.

On the march, no sporadic enemy could stop them. There were even thirty or forty heroic elite guards of the inner city, armed with halberds, in the middle of the road to the governor's castle, forming a phalanx to block the enemy, but the privates fired a volley of guns, and they left a dozen corpses to flee and make way for the way.

Levi's troops, like a dagger, were swift and ruthless, and plunged directly into the Governor's Citadel of Grey Mist City. Before these nobles and gentlemen could react, they broke through the walls of the inner city and came to their belongings.

On the stone pavement, wooden wheels rotate rapidly, and sturdy horses pull the artillery forward quickly. These products of modern technology will be the key to unlocking the Governor's Citadel of Grey Mist. As for those Barbary pirates, or the Spanish privates, they were still much worse than the power of artillery.

At least the Doge's Castle, which Levi had visited. Although the standard Western European castle of the earth left a strong side in the history of feudal warfare in the Middle Ages, it also showed its vulnerable side in modern military history, especially in the face of artillery, no matter how many enemy walls were held back in the Middle Ages, they all fell into disgrace.

In fact, at the end of the Middle Ages on Earth, the fall of Byzantium, which was bombarded by Ottoman Turkish artillery, represented the traditional cold weapon era of city defense, which completely lost its former glory.

"Doge's Castle."

Levi slowly raised his hand and motioned for the troops behind him to stop advancing. For right in front of me, the majestic appearance of the Governor's Castle came into view. A large number of Governor's Guards and the elite guards of the inner city were all gathered inside. Countless archers, crossbowmen, are ready for battle.

At the same time, there are also ballistas and bed crossbows on the tower, all of which have been opened, and stone bullets, or spears, are stuck in them, aiming at the direction where Levi and his troops appeared, as long as they reach the firing range, it is a rain of bullets and bullets in the era of cold weapons, and the pouring of long-range firepower.

Wilmot's face was solemn, and he had already discovered that in the open space outside the Governor's Castle, the elite guards of the inner city were still lining up to meet the enemy. And just in front of this group of troops, there were thick wooden shields lined up, obviously trying to use shields to block lead bullets and cannonballs. It's a stupid idea, but it's also quite effective.

"Artillery preparation."

Levi just ordered him to go down. And those Barbary pirates are ready to charge with scimitars in hand. It was just that seeing the presence of towers and an extremely large number of archers and crossbowmen on the castle, he did not attack directly.

They need to deplete the enemy's living forces with artillery, and this is practically not shameful. Levi's troops, which have the advantage of science and technology, do not plan to fight a medieval cold weapon battle. Although a large number of Barbary pirates and native archers armed with war bows were recruited, in fact the real main force of the battle was the Spanish privates.

At least in front of these privates, a volley of guns would solve most problems. Even if the number of enemy troops in the Governor's Castle is large and the defense is extremely tight, it is no match for the modern troops.

"Hurry up, hurry up!"

The artillery captains were shouting at their men. Twenty 12-pounder infantry guns and forty 24-pounder howitzers were all deployed. In the streets behind, ten 4-inch mortars were also quickly placed with the concerted efforts of the artillerymen, and as the faint smell of gunpowder began to permeate, the artillery position appeared in front of the governor's castle.

The muzzle of the black hole was aimed at the front, and on the originally empty square, dense troops were waiting in formation. The heavy wooden shield is at the front, and you can see from the appearance that it is no longer a shield that can be moved by a single person, almost like a door panel, which completely protects the soldiers behind it.

Even a heavy bed crossbow that fires a sturdy and sharp spear is estimated to be unable to directly carry a sturdy wooden plank more than ten centimeters thick. According to observations, the wooden shield is covered with a layer of tough leather, plus a lot of palm-sized iron sheets, which adds a bit of firmness.

The two sides were more than 400 meters apart, so they had a tacit understanding not to attack. Levi's artillerymen were a little excited, holding up the iron tongs that had burned red, and they were impatient to light the fire rope.

"Wait."

Wilmot stretched out his hand to stop these people's movements, squinting at the Governor's Castle in front of him, his face a little solemn. I don't know why, he suddenly found that there was a throbbing in his heart, as if something bad was about to happen. This was a bad mood in the war, so he chose to suspend the offensive.

Turning his head to look at Levi next to him, he found that his king actually felt the same way, he couldn't help but swallow and spit, and asked slowly: "Your Majesty, I don't know why, I always feel a little uneasy in my heart." ”

"Yes, I feel something similar."

Levi nodded, took a deep breath, and his face was already extremely solemn. Not only was his heart a little uneasy, but the necklace around his neck faintly emitted a bit of heat, making his chest feel a certain burn. It was this burning heat that made Levi's heart even more rigorous.

This is the Catholic cross necklace, which came to this world with divine power, so the fever at this time is definitely not for no reason, but a reminder to him to be careful.

"There is a conspiracy." Levi opened his mouth and looked at the Governor's Castle not far away, which looked like a giant towering. On the towers, watchtowers, and city walls above, dense crossbowmen are standing on them, and there are specially opened shooting holes, and the shadows of ballistas and bed crossbows are also faintly visible.

However, as Levi's gaze became more and more intense, a faint black smoke appeared in his eyes out of nowhere, enveloping the Doge's Castle as a whole, as if surrounded by a hazy black mist.

This kind of black mist Levi was very familiar, he had encountered it in the silver pit before, and he couldn't help frowning slightly, and his face became a little ugly. In this battle against Grey Mist, he didn't bring Catholic priests, which means that he wants to dispel these black mist, so he becomes a bit hot.

Levi finally understood why there was such an ominous throbbing in his heart!
