total conquest

Chapter 22
If Zhang Hao knew at this time that the rebels had climbed the city wall a few hours after the siege, he would have scolded Carl half to death. How high is the defense level of the earth, and he wanted to climb the city wall without paying the price of thousands of people?Go ahead and dream. Of course, you can’t blame Karl for this. The previous defense of the city was definitely a combination of magic and technology. All kinds of magic cannons flew around, so it was so easy to fight. No one can think of a way to defend the city.

"Bang!" "Bang!" After two shots, the figure rushing towards Old John was knocked down in mid-air. Tok and Bini quickly helped Old John up after firing.

"All musketeers retreat, change pistols, and make up for close combat!"

The swordsman spearmen and halberd soldiers on the steps behind the city wall quickly made up for it. The places where they ran slowly were immediately occupied by the rebels who climbed the wall, and the places where they ran quickly were stabbed down before they showed their heads.

"Don't stop the crossbowmen, all go down the city wall, throw and shoot, and the free militia will make up for it." Although the throwing power of the crossbow is halved, it is nothing, and the free militia who come up and use pistols continue to cooperate with melee defense.

Tok and Bini, who were supporting Old John, were suddenly covered by a transparent film. The hand-to-hand combat began, and the mages finally couldn't sit still. Area magic, Feidi's light of protection, made all enemies within 200 meters around Old John Humans all enjoy melee defense and armor strength bonuses.The flame mage's Luyin flame sword blesses the defenders every ten minutes to increase the killing effect of the defenders' weapons.

"Come on, children, don't stay too far away from me, this is just the beginning." Old John held a gun in his left hand and raised a sword in his right, and told Tok and Beanie loudly.

At this time, the city wall was already in chaos. The first wave of rebels who used ladders were basically spearmen with shields. Once a few spearmen gathered together, it was easy to hold the gap. The more they attacked, the entire city wall was inseparable, and the musketeers and free militiamen also drew their daggers and fought hand-to-hand.

Old John was bursting with scorching sun, and the two rookies were fighting left and right in their defensive positions. Although the defenders who didn't even have mid-level mages were pitiful, they were still useful. The buff magic learned by the junior mages, The level of recruits is basically the same as that of the rebels. The only thing they lack is experience. On the contrary, the rebels have no mages. With the blessing of the mages' buffs, the recruits have always had the upper hand and suppressed the rebels.Although Altdorf's artillery completely defeated the rebels, the opponent's use of the number also consumed the city's fire cannons. In the end, the first day's defense ended with the rebels' retreat. Although they won, the defenders suffered casualties. The casualties were not less than those of the rebels, and the surviving recruits completed their first transformation in the baptism of blood and sword on this day.

In the middle of the night, under the city wall, Toke and Benny sat quietly next to Old John. Because of Old John's protection, the two of them basically only suffered some minor injuries. They couldn't vomit anymore. They looked at the dry and hard black bread in their hands. They didn't have any appetite at all, and the surrounding friendly troops sat together in twos and threes. There was no joy of victory, only exhausted bodies, but it didn't take long for everyone to fall asleep, and they were really tired.

"Hurry up and eat, otherwise you won't have the strength to lift the sword tomorrow." Old John sat between the two of them, wiping the sword in his hand. Next to him was a pistol that had not had time to re-oil (the standard three-shot powerful firearm for nobles) It has an armor-piercing effect, while the Free Militia Group uses six-shot ordinary firearms, which have no armor-piercing effect)
"Uncle John, why didn't those Imperial Guards come to help us?" Tork was a little shaken in his heart, "They are obviously so powerful, and their weapons and armor are so sophisticated, why didn't we see them today? Could it be that they are all protecting the emperor? His Majesty?"

"There is no war where all the cards are played at the beginning of the war. I saw rebels and giant swordsmen on the city wall. Why didn't they go up?" Old John didn't lift his head, and began to oil his gun after wiping his sword.

"I don't understand." Tok glanced at Benny next to him, seeing that his eyes were dull and motionless, "Benny? Benny? What are you thinking?"

Bini recovered from Tok's cry, "Dead, all dead. Jiaco who came with us, Toca from the next village, and many familiar faces are all dead." Bini's outgoing personality Naturally, he knows more people than Toke. On Earth, Toke is definitely a dead house that can live forever. "They asked me to save them. They cried and begged me to help them, but I couldn't help it. I was killing the enemy. I was loading the bullet. I really wanted to go over and save them, but the enemy was right next to me. I can't live in front of him, I." Tok went up and took Bini into his arms. Tok could feel the fear and guilt in Bini's heart. He was the same, but maybe due to his personality, Tok considered more It is why the city defense is arranged in this way, and Beanie cares more about the people and things around him, which is destined to make the two of them take different paths in the future.Old John still did not raise his head. He knew that all the experiences today would be their wealth. After oiling the gun, Old John took out a badge in his arms. The Hero Medal of the Legion of the Sun is a representative of honor and also a symbol of Luo's fortune. The symbol of the German family was wiped over and over again, three points more seriously than wiping and oiling a sword.

After the civilians in the city helped clean up the battlefield, they all returned home, prayed at home, and sought comfort at home.

boom! !boom! ! !boom! ! !The next day, before dawn, the trebuchets that the rebels had made during the day and night were activated again, and the remnants of yesterday on the city wall, including the artillery repaired at night, fought back unceremoniously. Everyone understands that the rebels yesterday I have already found all the positions of the cannons through my temptations. If I hide them today, I don’t need to fire them.

Beanie turned over immediately under the gunfire, apparently the nightmarish nightmare had kept his highly tense nerves from relaxing.

Old John got up early, and sleep is a bit of a luxury for some elderly people, "I can sleep a little longer, we will not go up the city wall today, and all the guards have been arranged overnight." Old John will The pistol, shield and spear were handed over to Benny, "It is estimated that the gate of the city will not be secured today. If we cannot hold it, we will prepare to fight them in the city."

"Where's Tork?" Benny put away the equipment, looked around and found no trace of Tork.

"He went to help set up a roadblock, all civilians have retreated to the palace"

Benny looked in the direction of the palace and found black smoke everywhere in the city. Old John glanced at it and explained, "All the important places in the city were blown up. Don't look at it. Today is another life-and-death battle. Even the city walls have been placed. Black powder, of course I can't tell you the location"

"Hey, Benny, I woke up, why don't you lie down for a while? I heard from them that it will be a while before the real start"

"No, I won't sleep anymore." Benny hadn't recovered from the nightmare, and looked a little numb.
