Unlike the east and west gates, the north and south gates of Keynzburg were not mechanically lifted, but driven by the traditional opening and closing of both sides, which allowed the Windland's army to break through the strong gates. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The flaming battering ram smashed a large hole in the wooden gate, and then Wendland's soldiers poured in through the gap, and since Aster's archers had already evacuated the area near the walls, Wendland's attack encountered little resistance, and they destroyed the remaining gates, allowing large forces to enter the city.

There was no sign of the Aster's soldiers, and the Wendlands, who had no contact with other parts of the friendly forces, even thought that the defenders of Aster's had abandoned the city and fled the moment it was breached.

Most of them were fighting for the first time, and the sweep of Wendland on the Plains of Trestan had given them a strong self-confidence, but the Battle of the Misty Forest had shattered their naïve fantasies, and by now, the soldiers of Wendland no longer regarded the Astor soldiers as fools to be slaughtered, but under the cover of artillery fire, their self-confidence had swelled again.

- Until, the first person triggers the trap.

Shiloh had made a lot of crude explosives when he was in the Misty Forest, most of which were used to lay mines, and the rest of them were brought to Keynzburg by the Third Army as war supplies.

It was Élifils who proposed the use of these explosives, who ordered the soldiers to plant numerous traps near the main gate last night, and these traps were now being used as a major weapon against the Wendland soldiers.

Gravel is wrapped in linen cloth, covered with explosives, and the mines made are arranged on the walls on both sides of the street, with thin wires as fuses, such mines are very lethal to humans, and once detonated, countless pieces of rubble will splash from both sides to the soldiers located in the middle, and there is no time to defend at all.

If Shiloh was present, he would definitely praise Elifils's creativity, after all, not everyone can think of such a thing as a broadsword mine, and the unsuspecting Wendland soldiers have suffered heavy casualties.

The soldiers who were directly hit by the fragments were blown up into a blur of flesh and blood, and most of them died on the spot, while the few who were lucky enough not to die, their painful wails resounded through the sky, making the others shudder.

Seeing that the vanguard had been caught in such a dangerous trap, the Wendland soldiers in the rear were a little afraid to step forward, they had not yet figured out how these traps were triggered, and they did not dare to rush forward, for fear of becoming the next victim.

"Forward, forward, do not be afraid, the enemy's use of such despicable means is a sign of their cowardice!"

Behind the infantry was a baron, mounted on a warhorse, his armor glistening in the sunlight, his sword pointing to the sky, and then pointing at the tower in the center of Keynzburg.

"Our blood will not be shed in vain, and the glory of Speaker Orphin and Wendland is with us, forward!"

At the baron's impassioned shouts, the infantry seemed to be infected and their original fears seemed to disappear, and with a feverish fire burning in their eyes, they took up their spears and short swords and marched towards the city.

"Fight for the Federation!" "Hit the northern end of Aster!" "Glory to my lord!" "Kill those Astor cowards!"

In the midst of the commotion, Wendland's team began to move again.

Boom -

Another directional mine was detonated, and there was a terrible scream from the crowd, but the pace of the march of the whole force did not slow down, and the Wendlanders seemed to forget about death and only continued to advance amid fanatical slogans.

Boom -

Flesh and blood splattered, and one by one the fresh lives disappeared, but Wendland's pace did not stop!

"Aren't these guys afraid of death?"

On the upper floor of the house not far away, Aster's ambush soldiers were speechless, they originally thought that those directional mines could stop the progress of the Wendland army for a while, but these madmen were not afraid of death at all, a mine was triggered, more than a dozen soldiers were killed or wounded, and then more soldiers filled the vacancy in an instant, and the mighty team was advancing towards the ambush location of the Aster's defenders.

"I guess we were brainwashed by the above, we have to be careful."

Another soldier of Asterl replied, he raised his crossbow, and the iron arrows were aimed at the horse-riding commander of Wendland's ranks, he knew that the thief captures the king first, and that if the enemy commander is killed, it will cause a certain amount of chaos.

Crossbow arrows are no better than bows, the range is very short, most of the time they are flat fire, but fortunately they are easy to use, even a person with no combat experience can use them to kill a well-trained knight, most of the Aster's cavalry are equipped with hand crossbows, and there is no shortage of good crossbows in the infantry, at a distance of fifty yards, he is confident that he can kill the opponent with a single blow.

On the other side, Baron Windland, unaware of the danger he was in, was holding his sword high and directing the other soldiers forward, he was in the middle and rear of the group, and he did not have to worry about being injured by the terrible mines, so he was even more excited, exuding an air of fanaticism.

However, this did not last long, as they were ambushed by the Astor soldiers, just like the Wendland soldiers from other directions.

As the procession passed through the long street, dozens of Astor soldiers suddenly burst out from the shadows on either side, and they cut off the Wendland marching procession, dividing and eating it apart.

"Organize defense, organize defense, don't be disrupted by the enemy!"

The baron also tried to suppress the commotion of the team, but he did not expect that he had already been targeted by several crossbowmen.

Whoop -

Suddenly, several cold arrows shot out from the second-floor windows of the streets on both sides, aiming directly at Baron Windland, who was commanding the troops.

"What !?"

Probably not anticipating that the enemy would attack from such a corner, the baron of Wendran swung his sword and tried to cut off the incoming crossbow arrows, however, the experienced crossbowman did not let him succeed, and only one of the four crossbow arrows was cut off and missed, and the remaining three hit the lightly armored enemy with great accuracy.

One of them went straight through his unprotected head and shot through his left eye, splashing a little gray liquid.

The baron, who was still menacing, was directly killed, and he rolled off his horse, which caused the originally fanatical Wendland troops to fall into a panic, coupled with the attack of Aster's army, they almost lost most of their combat effectiveness, and could only be killed by the enemy.

And Aster's counterattack is just beginning. (To be continued.) )
