The shadows of the old world, the tides of the new era. Light and darkness, chaos and dawn... arise alternately in a world of machinery and witchcraft!
But what does this have to do with me, ...
Watching the enemy using the bare rocks on the Gobi Desert as cover to keep approaching...
Sean originally wanted to use these things as roadblocks to block the enemy's large-scale charge, but now they have also become defenses used by small enemy forces to cover up!
"Use iron ball bullets to attack and destroy all the roadblocks!" Sean ordered.
Right now, we can only deal with whatever comes our way...
The goal is to delay. As long as it can be delayed for one or two months, we will win. Maybe it doesn't take that long... Even if the reinforcements of the Imperial Army have not arrived, the enemy will not be able to hold out for that long.
"Tear down all roadblocks so they have nowhere to hide."
Round after round of artillery fire rang out, this time loaded with iron balls, the most commonly used type of artillery in daily use.
A large solid iron ball, under the impact of gunpowder, is very powerful. If several of them are concentrated on one point, they can even destroy the city wall...but this time it's not the city wall but the obstacles on the front battlefield.
The enemy's troops have been dispersed, and the effect of artillery attacks is not very obvious now.
But as long as the artillery is there, it is the best deterrent for them. With a loud bang, the person who had just appeared quickly retreated.
"Sir! Is there another person rushing over there?"
At this time, Joseph, who was standing next to Sean on the high wall, pointed to the west direction in front.
At this time, another group of people came from another direction, and this time they came from a section of the "bare" stone mountains in the valley. The mountains on both sides of the high wall were not so easy to climb. Although the defense force was small, that place was not something that everyone could climb up.
"Those clothes look like rebels...it's them!"
Anyone who had participated in the last encirclement and suppression operation in the forest and at the road intersection could tell that the clothes worn by the troops coming now were the clothes only worn by the revolutionary army.
"It turns out that the ones coming here weren't the Borg, but they used them..."
"They have been mixed with the Borg for a long time. We should have thought of it earlier." Barnil said as he looked at the team walking towards the edge of the stone wall.
The border defense line of the Oro region was originally a high wall spanning the valleys on both sides. However, due to its deep location and the fact that the valleys on both sides were often used as resting places by caravans, there were many caves of various sizes. Once the enemy hid in those places for a long time, their artillery fire would not be able to penetrate, and they would not dare to send people to attack rashly.
So the best way is to build a temporary high wall outside...
That is where you stand!
Leave the high walls on both sides and the valley in between empty, using them as a buffer zone while also making plans for the next step...
The first high wall at present is built with simple stones and wood, and it will be shattered by artillery fire. Fortunately, the enemy does not have such weapons and can only rely on brute force to get through... That's why Sean dared to stand here.
The cliffs on both sides of the wall are very steep, almost impossible to climb up, and there are soldiers guarding both sides!
"I'll take a team of people to guard it, sir." Barnier suddenly volunteered.
The four-member team, who have always been lazy, will be the first to stand up and face the city crisis.
"No, those people won't really climb up, and there aren't many who can do that. They're just feinting... Just turn the guns over there and don't let them get close."
"As for these people in front of us, Karyana, you are the one who will trap them!"
Sean assumed that the other side would not split its forces into two fronts for the time being, so he had to save all the personnel consumption and also save ammunition for artillery fire. He just had to suppress them and prevent them from getting close.
"no problem."
Several witches with Sky-Covering Wings began to cast magic, and the air around them began to become increasingly turbid and hot.
Raise your hand~
The ground a hundred meters away from the high wall suddenly turned black, and a piece of ground like fuel oil was on fire.
They used the method of setting the ground on fire to stop the group of golden-masked men from approaching quickly... Because there was no artillery suppression, they moved faster this time, but their numbers were obviously not as large as before.
As long as you enter the range of 300 meters, you are officially within the range of guns. The soldiers on the high wall have been waiting for someone to enter this range. Under the barrier of the wall of fire, even the fastest runner was forced to stop. There was no place to hide around.
A series of gunpowder sweeps, and all I can do is dodge with my body...
I took a few steps back, there was no way to hide.
In the end, he could only rely on the iron chain rope tied to his arms to grab the cliff and jump high!
Bang, bang, bang...
Under the suppression of countless guns, almost everyone who could run into this range fell down. Then the magic flame began to gradually burn to the east, constantly eroding the land beneath their feet.
All they could do was keep retreating, dragging their fallen companions' bodies as shields...
"Just kill those people and make them give up the idea of attacking the city." Sean ordered the witches around him.
The magic starts again...
The two sides were only three or four hundred meters apart, and they could see each other, but it was not very clear.
Sean only felt that the person who had been jumping continuously to avoid the gun attack was the leader of this group of people. As long as he was killed, the attack should retreat... Only the second wave of attack could get within 300 meters of the high wall.
Must fight out!
We can't give them any excuse to think that Oro City's defense is weak!
He took out his musket and aimed at the high wall...
