Once a sneak attack is discovered, it has already lost the initiative, which means that the troops who have already been aware of it can arrange it in advance, and even form an encirclement network to wipe out the sneak attackers. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

This is also why, there are very few cases of sneak attacks in the modern history of the earth, the reason is that the combination of scouts and telescopes makes most sneak attacks unable to form an effective scale, and what modern troops prefer to do is to use highly mobile cavalry to launch surprise attacks in other directions when the two sides are facing each other head-on!

That's right, it was a surprise attack, with great mobility and high lethality of cavalry, brazenly tearing apart the enemy's formation, disrupting the enemy's troops, and winning a partial victory for the frontal troops, and then crushing the enemy completely.

But the medieval troops would not be like this, if the sneak attack was not successful, they would definitely not rush to attack, because what they needed was for the enemy to fall into a more serious disorder, otherwise their sneak attack would be meaningless, and for the troops within the city walls, the enemy would not be able to take the initiative if the enemy remained tightly organized.

What's more, some of the infantry of the city defense team, as well as those greedy mercenaries who see money, are not their people, and they are dead when they die, and they don't feel distressed at all.

This is also why, when the sneak attack troops on both sides were severely damaged and began to flee in a hurry, the garrisons in the inner city of Grey Mist City not only did not come to the rescue, but did not even have the idea of feints.

The outer city has fallen, and they still need to let Levi's troops inflict heavy losses on these hooligans, lest they become thugs and start to make trouble in the outer city and the outer port area, after all, the inner city is now all blocked, and the people outside can't get in, and the people inside can't get out, and they are quite out of control of the outside.

And now, these garrisons in the inner city obviously have to be careful.

A large number of elite guards in the inner city have piled up a large number of obstacles at the broken city gates, barely resisting the powerful attack from the outside with the help of the towering and heavy stone walls.

Because even if the sneak attack troops appeared on both sides, the dozens of guns at the front of the team were still frantically pouring their firepower, whether it was 12-pounder infantry guns, 24-pounder howitzers, and those 4-inch mortars were venting their anger, bringing extremely high psychological pressure to the city walls and the garrison in the city.

Even with the sound of the bombardment, the walls of the outer city gate had begun to crack in large quantities, and the potted walls were full of hollows the size of basins, and dense cracks spread on the stones, clattering and cracking countless small stone chips on the ground.

"What should I do?"

The noble knight in charge of this section of the city wall was already a little helpless at this time, and he found that the stone walls under his feet had even a few cracks that had spread throughout, and you must know that these walls cut with monolithic stones, even heavy trebuchets could resist, and now they began to become as fragile as wood under the fire of the dwarven artillery.

And just when his face was panicked and he didn't know what to do, there was a sudden sound of cracking next to him, and he suddenly turned his head to look to the side, his eyes suddenly widened, and his hand holding the long sword trembled a little: "How... How is that possible..."

Because in his eyes, there was a small piece of the city wall that was actually cracking and collapsing in an instant, if it weren't for the cleverness of a few soldiers who were still on guard next to him, it was estimated that he would have fallen directly with the collapsed city wall!

Eight meters high, plus those stones, if you fall down and can't die, you will be directly stoned to death.

It was quite an ugly situation, but for now, their hearts were already shocked, because when the wall collapsed, a bigger crack had begun to spread on the wall, and this phenomenon also showed that if they didn't evacuate or make a move, then the wall would be completely destroyed!

There were already scrambling elite infantry running over quickly, panting and shouting to the noble knight guarding the city: "Outside, the outer city wall is starting to crumble, we must retreat, otherwise this city wall will collapse, and we will all be buried in the stones!" ”

"What?" The noble knight didn't care about his rude words, let alone that he hadn't used honorifics, and quickly came to the side of the gate tower, and looked at the other side of the city wall, which was a finger's width of cracks, which were already quite clear, and even with every bombardment, they were trembling, and gradually getting bigger!

The walls were about to collapse, and the noble knight's mind was in disbelief.

The city wall that had not collapsed for several months in the southern roaring sea had now begun to crumble, and he couldn't help but come to the lookout outside, looking at the rows of dwarven artillery hundreds of meters away in the distance, and his heart was even more frightened: "How can the power of the dwarf artillery be so great?" ”

Their concept of artillery is still stuck in the artillery made by the dwarves, just like the European troops after the industrial revolution, when they were at war with the traditional West Asian empire Ottoman Turkey, the Ottoman Empire was horrified to find that the old artillery in their hands was actually backward than Europe, and it was a considerable gap!

"Evacuate the walls!"

Although this noble knight is a new generation that has grown up, he obviously still has a good eye, and seeing those rifts expanding, he directly ordered: "Let everyone withdraw from this city wall and build a front in the rear!" ”

At the same time, his face gradually became grim, and he couldn't help but take a deep breath, and said to the heralds who followed behind him: "Go to the City Hall, the Governor's Castle, and the Mage Tower to ask for reinforcements, and tell them that the walls are about to fall, and if we can't resist the enemy's attack, then we will retreat to these three points and continue to resist!" ”

"It's... Yes, my lord! "A few knight squires were his heralds, and their faces were already quite bad now, because even they could see that this wall really couldn't be defended.

The crossbowmen, archers, and mages in the towers began to evacuate, and a large number of infantry regrouped behind the walls, because they also knew that even if the walls collapsed, the area would not be flattened, and the eight-meter-high walls would form a complex gentle slope of at least three meters.

And this gentle slope can ensure that the enemy's artillery cannot directly hit them, while their bows and crossbows can easily shoot the enemy at the top of the gentle slope, which is a key area for them to resist Levi's forces!

After everyone finished arraying, there was barely a few minutes, and with another roar, in the shocked eyes of everyone, the city gate in front of them and the city walls on both sides, there were dense cracks like spider webs, which became bigger and bigger, and finally with the sound of the stone slamming into the ground, it instantly began to collapse violently!

A large mouth of nearly thirty meters appeared on the city wall like this!
