Chapter 53 Sunrise in the east and rain in the west

"Sir, the city gate is blocked again and the cavalry cannot rush in. What do you think?" After understanding the situation, an officer asked Carsonte impatiently.

"Have the cavalry withdrawn? Let the magician try to open the city gate again and clear the defenders on the city wall again. I don't think we can have much hope on the city gate. The overall breakthrough is the way... In addition, you should notify the commander of the 224th Army and ask him to send an infantry division to send an infantry division to the left of the city wall after the magician sweeps the defenders on the city wall, and give him a team of magicians to press the formation." Seeing the front wall being blocked by the enemy with huge rocks and rolling wood, Carsonte immediately gave up his original plan to use the magician to break through the city and let the cavalry break through quickly, and prepare for a strong attack.

In just a few minutes, after an extinct attack by the magicians, the 224th Legion on the left of Carcent launched a strong attack. With the cooperation of the magicians, thousands of archers began to suppress the defenders on the city wall. Immediately afterwards, nearly 10,000 infantry rushed forward with the ladder.

In Carcent and the officers' minds, after these several strikes, there should be very few heavy defensive weapons on the city wall, such as catapults or heavy crossbows. As long as you can suppress the opponent's opponent's number of people (all only 50,000 soldiers, and if they share the burden between the north and the south, there will be only 30,000. After all, soldiers must be guarded by the east and west cities, otherwise they will be finished when they encounter a surprise attack). The soldiers will be able to obtain the fruits of victory.

But there is always a gap between facts and wishes, and this time the gap is even bigger. When the soldiers of the 224th Legion just set up a ladder and started to rush up, the city walls were almost the same as those of siege. Everyone was either holding huge stones or dragging large sections of logs.

These Senke Federation soldiers braved the rain of arrows and magic attacks from time to time, trying to smash the imperial soldiers who were trying to climb the city wall to their heads and blood...

"Let the 223rd Legion also send a division to attack from the right side, and also give them a team of magicians. In addition, let the main force of the magicians unit strengthen the cleaning of the defenders and obstacles near the city gate, and let the cavalry attack in if they have the chance." Seeing the stalemate, Carcent issued an order again.

Looking at the 223rd Army soldiers rushing towards the city wall on the right like a tide, the officers in the command post all believed that this time it would definitely cause the opponent to have a defensive loophole due to insufficient troops.

But soon all the officers were disappointed. As the Imperial soldiers put the ladder on the city wall, their figures appeared from the city wall... The battle situation became rigid again.

"Damn it, how could there be so many defenders? Did their troops come here? In addition to the thousands of people we killed just now, the Senke Federation Army here has at least more than 30,000..." An officer smashed his fist hard on the fortifications.

A sentence reminded Carcent. The awakened legion commander immediately sent someone to invite the magician Wink from the magician's army, and immediately asked Wink to observe the situation of the defenders in the city.

A super large light curtain was quickly hung in front of a wall of the command post, and the entire south gate battle was immediately presented to everyone. From here, it can be clearly seen that the entire southern city wall was fighting around the 3rd section of the city wall. On the left is the battle between the 224th Legion and more than 10,000 defenders, and on the right is the 223rd Legion; in the middle is the opponent constantly filling the city gate with corpses to prevent the imperial cavalry from breaking through the city gate. Under the attack of the magician, all the soldiers of the Senke Federation were equivalent to moths to the flames.

But when the officers bet on the back of the city wall, everyone was stunned. Where was there 30,000 people in the south city? Behind the city wall, countless soldiers were carrying various defending materials. The burned and collapsed houses were quickly demolished and transported to the city wall for the attack of the low-end imperial army. In addition, behind the city walls between the three battlefields, there were nearly 10,000 soldiers on standby.

"Damn it, how could there be 30,000 people? There are already 30,000 people on the city wall and those killed by us. Not to mention those who carry it, just adding their reserve troops will be enough to have all the troops we calculated at the beginning. Could it be that all their troops have been put into the South City? The North City is an empty shell?" Seeing this situation, a commander of the army couldn't help but curse.

Before anyone else could speak, Wink emitted another light curtain, and this time the north gate of Huangshi City was shown on it. Everyone's eyes turned, and they wanted to see if their guess was correct...

"Damn it, why are there so many soldiers in Huangshi City? Did they mobilize civilians to defend the city? But how can civilians be so resilient?" After an officer looked at the situation at the North Gate, he immediately became confused. Although the North Gate did not have the tragic battle situation at the South Gate, the Flame Legion obviously attacked hard. A large number of defenders in the city were also holding their heads and squatting under the city wall, and the number was at least tens of thousands.

"Are we guessing that the defenders of Huangshi City were wrong? They were not two legions, but three?" Carcent was also confused. Judging from the defenders here, they were definitely not miscellaneous troops composed of civilians, they were definitely regular soldiers who had been trained for a long time, otherwise they would definitely not be able to withstand such a tough offensive. But the soldiers at the North Gate did not look soft-headed? Then the only explanation is that they had underestimated the number of defenders in the city.

"Look, they are starting to break the door, too..." A staff officer shouted at the magic light curtain that showed the north gate.

Several heavy armored rushers were slowly moving towards the city gate, and hundreds of giant crossbows were also pushed forward by the divisions of the Fire Legion, and stopped outside the range of the defenders in the city and began to block the city wall to prevent the soldiers on the city wall from destroying the hedge vehicles.

Under the attack of giant catapults and crossbows, the city wall, especially above the entire city gate area, was trapped in a sea of ​​fire, and it became very difficult to get close. After accidentally stumbled into one along the way, the rest rushed outside the city gate and began to hit the city gate...

"Damn, these guys are much disgusting than us. Our magician army has magical restrictions, but they can go crazy for a long time without any scruples. It's really perverted." Seeing the catapult and giant crossbow go crazy and sending the stones and giant crossbows to the top of the city, an officer couldn't help but eat sour grapes, but on the other hand, everyone had the expression that was indeed the case.

"This is not the case. Our magic power ends as soon as it passes, and their fire pots almost turned the entire wall into a sea of ​​fire. There is no way to get close to it. This is almost impossible for us to get half of it. In addition, we can't help the soldiers in the city wall now. Look at their catapults, but things hit them from time to time, and the soldiers waiting to attack. These are their advantages. Cough..." While thinking, Wink also raised a few situations that his magician army could not do, and then sighed, or was he sighing for the future of the magician?

"Mist? What are the magicians of the Senke Federation doing? What's the use of this?" A series of water vapor began to spread inside and outside the two city gates in the north and south, and quickly spread out...

No one answered the officer's words, because when he asked a question, a strong flash suddenly came out below the city gate and soared into the sky. Then, the cavalry troops that had been on standby in front of the position rushed towards the city gate frantically, holding up their waving swords to face the sunlight, flashing a radiant light...

"They broke the city! Unexpectedly, they broke the city..." Seeing the magic fireworks soaring into the sky, the flame army launched a general attack again, and the command post was excited, and they almost hugged and kissed immediately.

"This may not be a good thing... They don't have infantry. If they are blocked, the consequences will be unimaginable..." Before Carcent finished speaking, the officers in the command post immediately discovered an abnormal situation, that is, the cavalry rushing forward seemed to have been walking around the city gate and returned along the same route.

"Damn, they encountered the same situation as us. It seems that the city gate was blocked again, alas..." After a staff officer sighed, the entire command post sighed.

"It seems that he was guessed, it's a pity! This time the Flame Legion suffered losses, and at least three brigades of soldiers were blocked..." Kevin, the commander of the Third Division of the 103rd Legion who was left behind in the reserve team, sighed. Although he didn't like Sak, he was extremely yearning for those soldiers who were stronger than his men.

"Yes, there are indeed many people missing... Oh, it seems that our leader of the Flame Legion has also discovered that many of his soldiers have become lost lambs and can't help but get angry... God, this guy has pushed out all those terrifying things? Are he going to shoot all those things into the city?" An officer who had no good feelings for Sach couldn't help laughing at Sach, but then the thing dragged out from the barracks jumped him next.

"It probably wasn't used to shoot into the city. Now the entire city is covered with fog, and those single-shot crossbow arrows are probably difficult to block the city wall, but he probably wanted to dig through the city gate, so he asked those perverts to block the city tower. It seems that the ones who rushed in were not ordinary troops, at least the elites of the Flame Legion. Don't worry about him. We continue to attack the city here, and there is no need to help him. Capturing the Wilderness City early is also a kind of help to him!"

Carcent's words were approved by everyone present, and the Eastern corpses have always been looked down upon by major factions in the imperial capital and are often suppressed. Therefore, the officers present agreed with Carcent's words without hesitation and began to be busy with their own wars.

Even Wink removed the magic light curtain to observe the North City. Anyway, under the influence of the magic fog, he could not see the specific situation clearly. It would be better to save some magic power during wartime.

But at this time, if Wink and the others knew what the officers of the Flame Legion were doing, they would not know if they would be angry. In the command post in the north of the city, two legion commanders and several division commanders were leisurely drinking the wine sent by Hegma for the first time, chatting about when the Senke Federation would send the negotiation documents, and what would the Eastern Territory and the Wilderness City eventually become like
