total conquest

Chapter 26 Exploding the Wall
The entire city of Altdorf was immersed in shouting, begging for mercy and praying throughout the day.No one dared to rest first, no one dared to be lazy, and they tried their best to shout until they were hoarse, until their hands became weak, and until their bodies became stiff, they dared to close their eyes.

Robert's cavalry charged back and forth twice before being held back desperately by the giant swordsmen, plus the subsequent reinforcements of a thousand spearmen and crossbowmen, even a powerful beast like a griffin, one by one Died under the crossbow arrows and spears of the rebels, it was completely exchanged for people. There were almost 5000 rebels outside the city ready to go. Hans was not in a hurry at all. As long as he could win Altdorf, it would be worth twenty for one, but first, You must first consume all those who are trying to get the credit. Since you win, you must win the biggest one!

The cavalry led by Robert was basically wiped out, but all the great swordsmen of Middenheim were also replaced.Karl's last guards on the city wall and the newly formed spearmen and swordsmen below the city were joined together, commanded by Marshal Rick Robert, desperately blocking the rebels around the city wall, and only a small part of the long-range soldiers withdrew with the help of the building. He and the condescending rebel crossbowmen fired at each other, each with casualties.The junior mages who don't know how to attack magic hide in the houses a little closer and try their best to release the buff magic.

After Robert took over the command of the entire army, Old John took Tok and Beanie and disappeared into the crowd. They rode the war horses that had lost their owners, and sneaked into the city wall of Altdorf from a long distance from the side, but they did not What he found was that the black armored knight who had been disappearing since the morning also followed quietly.

"Uncle John, where are we going?" Toke's dirty face was covered in mud. He fell off his horse and rolled on the ground. Fortunately, Old John and Beanie were there to help him, otherwise Toke would have I want to return to my hometown.

"I said Toke, you don't usually talk much, why are you talking more than me now?" Benny has gone through a day of brutal fighting and has escaped from yesterday's fear, at least he can communicate with Toke well.

"Benny, don't ask more questions now, you will regret it if you get killed in a while."

"If you die, you won't know anything. What's the use of asking so much?"

"you……"

"Okay, okay, two little guys, we are here to carry out a secret mission. If the mission is completed, both of you can make a big contribution, and you can follow me back to the Prince's Mansion when the time comes. I will teach you two well."

"Ah? Really, Uncle John, can I also stay in the city? That's great." Old John invited Benny, but never invited Toke, so Toke was particularly excited when he heard it.

"Toke, don't be so loud. If you lure the enemy away, you will be rewarded!" Although Benny said that he didn't want to enter the Prince's Mansion, it was because he didn't want to go if he was the only one, but now Old John invited both of them at the same time, and Beanie was really happy for Tork.

"Okay, okay, we're almost there." Old John took the lead and walked to the end of the passage, took out a key that was three times larger than normal, and inserted it into a gap in the wall.With the sound of mechanical rotation, the wall slowly opened to the side, and a burst of dust mixed with the smell of corruption and a strong pungent smell rushed towards the face, causing Toke and Benny to cough violently.

"Come on, the situation outside is very dangerous, hurry up, every time you delay, many warriors of the empire will sacrifice a lot"

Old John fanned the dust in the air, took out the key, and walked in first, followed by Tok and Beanie.

The small space was full of red wooden barrels. Old John went straight to the innermost part, touched for a while and took out stone bricks from the wall. Behind the bricks was a half-person-high deep tunnel.

This passage leads to the opposite side of the city gate. It is covered with thin gunpowder guides and extends to a place where it cannot be seen. There is a small space every 50 meters in the passage, which is also filled with gunpowder.

"You light it up, remember, we only have 5 minutes to get out of here."

Toke and Benny looked at each other nervously, then took the torch together, and prepared to move forward.

At this time, a black figure suddenly jumped out from outside the door, hugged Old John and rolled him to the ground. The sudden change made the two teenagers, who had been nervous these days, quickly turn around, draw their guns, and aim, but Old John still Be restrained.

Jones put a sword on Old John's neck with his left hand, and drew Old John's pistol with his right hand to point at Tok and Beanie.

"I didn't expect it, old man. When I fell off the horse, I found a lot of gunpowder on the ground, and then I have been secretly lurking around, staring at you. There is indeed a conspiracy. Haha, what a miracle. Hey! You two boys, if you don’t want this old guy to die, quickly follow me and get out!” As soon as Jones finished speaking, before Toke and Benny could react, Old John grabbed Jones’ left hand with both hands and exerted force instantly. With combat experience, Jones left his left hand behind his back at once. Jones only hit the wall next to him with one shot. Beanie reacted the fastest and kicked the gun in Jones' hand with a stride forward. Toker quickly shot at Jones. But the flustered gunman Faga Jones rolled after breaking away from John, and avoided the gun abruptly.

Jones, who was on the ground, got up quickly after rolling around, and slashed at his nearest Toke with a sword with his left hand. Seeing this, Beanie quickly grabbed Toke who was dodging the sword, and dragged him to his back. Jones A sword failed, and he went forward without retreating, and another sword was struck from the bottom up with his backhand. Beanie, who had no time to dodge, was slashed from his chest to his face. Jones wanted to exert his strength again, but Old John who picked up the torch He came in time and kicked it, and threw the torch into the passage. The flame instantly ignited the gunpowder in the passage, and burned into the passage very quickly.

Tok dragged Bini and Old John, whose faces were covered with blood, to the door quickly, inserted the key and closed the stone wall. Jones, who couldn't get up in time, threw himself forward but still couldn't get past the stone wall. He screamed heartbreakingly to pick it up. He raised the pistol in front of him and pointed it at the slowly closing gap in the wall, fired all the bullets in one breath, and then cried and begged for mercy, hoping that Old John and others outside the wall would spare his life.

But as soon as Old John went out, he lifted Beanie's leg and ran towards the exit with Tok quickly, without stopping a step, leaving Jones, who kept repenting inside the wall, crying bitterly alone.

The rebels who continued to fight in the city were also exhausted, but they had to continue without hearing the call to withdraw troops. The defenders in the city formed a long formation and did not fight with the rebels. Further, the rebels were blocked in front of the city wall, and the rebels did not have the strength and energy to attack the opponent's array, and the long-range troops were out of ammunition, so they retreated first, and the rebel generals and the defenders formed a wordless tacit understanding. Fight back, but they don't take the initiative to launch an attack, just weapons touching weapons, everyone wants to rest, fighting all day, hungry weapons are almost out of reach, the rebels don't reinforce, they want to take down this group of will The steadfast, death-defying defenders are extremely difficult. There are not many defenders. If you want to eat this wave of rebels, you must act according to the plan.

Suddenly, a huge explosion woke up the entire drowsy battlefield. Before everyone knew what happened, Robert had already started to command loudly, "Array of spears, shields to protect the head, retreat, mages cast spells, and long-range troops suppress fire! !"

Although the rebels were stunned, they subconsciously moved forward when they saw the defenders retreating. As a result, they were greeted by crossbow arrows and bullets that had ceased firing long ago.The rebel general had to pause first, trying to figure out what happened.
