The surprise attack launched by the Cang Dynasty last night was not effective, and finally abandoned the attack and withdrew its troops. The gunfire gradually stopped, as if returning to the peaceful night.

But everyone knows that this is only short-lived.

The night was over, and the tired soldiers hurried to sleep, no one knew when the next battle would begin, and they had to hurry to replenish their energy, and the cooks began to cook at once. Field doctors began to treat the wounded, and sappers began to strengthen their positions.

The few reserves replaced part of the front-line troops. The remaining troops had to continue to devote themselves to the rest of the war after a short break.

However, it didn't take long for the battle to begin again at dawn as the enemy's central army arrived. The soldiers immediately drank a few sips of hot soup, nibbled on a few mouthfuls of bread and rushed to the combat post with their guns.

The same suicidal attack, this time it was all light cavalry, they were faster, carrying more explosives, and rushed to the city gate desperately, and as the continuous explosion of the city gate almost fell because of the fierce and costless attack.

Fortunately, the defenders lowered the iron gate of the city gate in time, and formed a special brigade at the gate to deal with the cavalry near the city gate. Only then did they hold the city gate defense.

However, the road out of the city was also blocked. The siege began, and countless ladders began to attack the city walls in the face of a hail of bullets.

This time the line of defense appeared unshakable, and even suicide attacks did not work. The tall steam knights stood at the head of the city, and the soldiers of the Cang Dynasty were not able to break through this steel defense, no matter how brave they were.

Of course, this is only a façade. Our reserves of red mercury are running low, and it will take at least half a day for a new shipment to arrive due to the destruction of a section of the railway. There are also some insufficient parts of various wear and tear, and if the Cang Dynasty army continues to attack, it is likely that we will see our fatal weakness.

However, the god of luck was still blessing us, and the commander of the Cang Dynasty army did not notice it, but ordered the siege troops to retreat in an orderly manner.

Soon, before the defenders could replenish after a little rectification, the observers saw several heavy artillery pieces slowly appearing on the position of the Cang Dynasty army in the distance through binoculars.

They were fortress cannons captured by the Cang Dynasty army, and they took them out of the armored fortress and carried them over with war horses. Under the labor of the captives, the heavy artillery began to aim at our walls, and the calibration began.

All were shocked by the efficiency of the enemy's transport. I wonder how many horses and people need to be exhausted for such an operation? Soon, however, at the command of the commander, all the troops began to quickly take refuge in the makeshift trenches dug under the walls, and the soldiers who did not make it to the trenches hid behind the walls.

Before the defenders set out for the death squads to destroy the heavy artillery, the heavy artillery took the lead in the bombardment.

Terrible sirens rang out throughout the city.

With the sound of breaking through the air, the cannonballs weighing several tons headed towards the city wall, and the huge kinetic energy and the chemical energy of the explosives quickly blasted the wall out of the gap, mixed with smoke and debris, and the screams and cries for help made the entire battlefield chaotic for a while, and the commander had to send a team of warlords to maintain the line.

Under such man-made power, even the most elite armies will lose their minds in an instant and be manipulated by instinct.

The defenders sent death squads and reorganized the defensive line at the gap to defend against the follow-up attack of the Cang army, and the sappers hurriedly set up improvised barricades and mines before the Cang army arrived, while the rest of the soldiers used the surrounding terrain to build improvised positions. I led the death squad to the enemy's fortified artillery position.

By the time we infiltrated the enemy's fortified artillery positions, the enemy's army had already formed a simple position on the perimeter. As soon as we got closer, the enemy spotted us, and the armored cavalry patrolling around us immediately gathered and prepared to attack us.

For the attack of armored cavalry, there is nothing to arrange, just two words, speed and strength. The armored knights and armored cavalry rushed past, and for a moment the sky was full of blood, leaving a lot of corpses on both sides. I sent dozens of knights to defend the back, while the rest of the troops followed me and rushed forward desperately towards the enemy's artillery positions.

The enemy's heavy artillery was still attacking the ramparts. We roared the steam engine and began to charge. The enemy's firecracker army began a counterattack. However, except for a few armor-piercing firearms, ordinary firecrackers can only be described as gua sha for the armor of the unified knights, and they can't cause damage.

We soon entered the rudimentary trenches of the enemy and began to slaughter in all directions. Despite the stubborn counterattack of the enemy, the Cang Dynasty soldiers launched a decisive attack on us with explosives. However, we still broke through their defenses, and we came to the undefended artillery position, from which the prisoners and Cangchao soldiers had retreated.

Is it really that easy? I couldn't help but think as I walked forward as the knights around me began to plant explosives to destroy the fortress cannons. As the only fortress cannon that can affect the outcome of the battle at the moment, the enemy will really only send firecracker infantry to garrison here?

I suddenly had a bad feeling and my heart began to beat faster, and I don't know what was going on, but I seemed to hear the sound of the sky breaking in the distance. I hurried back into the trenches with the death squad. That bad feeling came to mind.

The fortress artillery positions were attacked, and countless artillery pieces of caliber smaller than the fortress guns began to bombard, and the explosives of the martyrdom set off a wave of air, and the troops who did not have time to enter the trenches were blown away and fell heavily to the ground; Or they were hit by a stray bullet in a critical area and paralyzed there.

We have no spare time to save our wounded comrades. The command quickly gave the order for us to go and destroy the enemy's second heavy artillery position.

We hurriedly checked our damage, reloaded our guns, took a few sips of water, left the bodies of our teammates, and started marching again.

This time the attack was no longer smooth, and the mixed line of enemy cavalry and infantry held us back. However, the enemy commander apparently did not pay enough attention to the integrated knights, who were different from the ordinary armored knights. We are constantly advancing at a speed that the enemy does not expect, which seems to disrupt the command of the commander responsible for guarding the place.

Soon, we saw the heavy artillery positions of the Cang Dynasty. Although the enemy launched a suicidal attack on us with the idea of dooming together. However, it is clear that the enemy's "pale blood" does not have much, and in the face of the disparity in strength, even if there is a strong will, it seems that it cannot make up for the huge difference in technology. Like the slaughter of the cavalry of the old era by the firebolt, the knights in steam armor slaughter the enemy.

The position was quickly breached by us, and the enemy lost a heavy artillery position that posed a major threat to the city of Frankfork, and if the artillery unit was to be regrouped, it would have to wait at least a few days for the artillery to be transported from the rear to the front.

But war is fair. Not long after we destroyed the enemy's position, the defensive line of the city wall was breached under the enemy's cavalry charge, and countless Cang Dynasty troops rushed in through the loophole.

Under the desperate resistance of the defenders, they relied on some solid buildings to block the enemy's offensive, but with the loss of the city wall defense line, the troops on the city wall also had to retreat into the city and start a bloody street battle with the enemy.

But in the same way, in order to prevent the Cang Dynasty army from throwing a rat trap, we also cannot let this part of the army support the defense line of the city wall.

Command had no choice but to urgently order us to be recalled to form a defensive line in the city. Orders were received by numerous small units of reconnaissance and sabotage outside the city.

This shows how critical Frankfork City was at this time.

We soon passed through the trenches outside the city, through layers of defensive lines, into the positions in the city, and came to the headquarters. The commander assigned us the task.

The sappers began to clear the buried sections, urgently widening the width of the trenches for use by the steam armored knight units. Soldiers breathed white mist and went to their combat positions to prepare, check their guns, put on their armor, and adjust the position of their sandbags for better shooting.

Some of the city's steam towers were closed due to their sturdiness and were temporarily built as fortress strongholds.

Temporary barriers are placed at important intersections, and more barricades are placed to block the road. Barricades began to be erected, and heavy weapons began to be removed from the walls and placed on positions in the middle of the city.

Follow-up troops began to enter the trenches and fortresses in the city in an orderly manner. The communications soldier pulled his hoarse voice and asked for follow-up support and supplies.

The clerical staff of the command began to urgently draw up a new map of the city defense in order to facilitate the command of the commander.

The army in the rear was also in a hurry to repair the railroad, allowing the train to pull boxes and boxes of Middle-earth troops to Frankfork. I heard that even the northernmost kingdom of Rothil has sent their elite Snow Wolf Knights and Guards.

After a few days of grinding, the Trans-Middle-earth railway system finally began to exert its strength, and train after train was like blood, transporting support troops and supplies to the front lines of Frankfork.

The Cang Dynasty, also from the Duchy of Turin in the rear, armed one young man after another with captured equipment and sent them to the front line, and countless artillery pieces were also being transported.

The research and construction of the Steam Armored Knights also began, but it may not be ready for battle anytime soon.

As the two sides continued to prepare for the next war, the two sides piled up more and more chips on the battlefield of Frankfork.

It's like a volcano about to erupt, and more and more pressure is gradually pressing it to a tipping point.

Although these days, with the partial loss of the city wall defense, it seems that the war has come to a stalemate. But everyone knew that this was only the last sunset before darkness, and that the longest time for the largest war in Middle-earth in more than a hundred years was about to break out at any time.
