I will be crowned king

"boom!"

The moment he pulled the trigger, Anson was slightly stunned by the impact from his shoulder; a lead bullet almost flew out against his cheek, exploding a point on the city wall.

With a calm demeanor, Anson looked at the figure falling from the city wall across from him, skillfully pulled the trigger, repeated the action of loading the bullet into the chamber, and began to aim at the next target he could "see" in his mind.

It was only now that he truly felt how much influence becoming a conjurer had on him.

First of all, the most intuitive and obvious thing is your reaction speed - as long as you can detect and notice something at the first time, your body can respond quickly, adjust to a state of full concentration and devote yourself to it immediately. in.

Just like at this moment, he can judge who is the most threatening to him through the "pictures" in his mind, the expressions of the enemies around him, the direction in which the rifle is aimed, and even some invisible things, and he can quickly take action. The judgment of "who should be killed first".

What I insist on describing is something similar to "intuition", but completely different. What it is still needs to be discovered.

The second point is the sense of distance.

The Conjurer's ability is to "deny and tamper with reality." The shortcoming is that this ability has a limited range, but this "shortcoming" gives him an excellent sense of distance - within a radius of twenty meters, Determine the precise distance between any surrounding object and yourself!

And when this ability is combined with the "superpower" he obtained through time travel, the effect is what happened at that moment - under the premise of firing at the same time, he can avoid the fatal shot with only a small range of dodge, and at the same time Hit the opponent.

"boom!"

Another shot, and the neck of the ammunition hand holding the shrapnel was hit by a lead bullet. The guy with blood gushing staggered beside the protective wall, and fell off the city wall together with the cannonball in his arms.

A few seconds later, the entire city wall trembled with a sudden loud noise.

"boom----!!!!"

The sudden roar was like a signal; the levy and imperial soldiers on the city walls roared, bayonets drawn and charged at each other.

"Charge! Charge! Charge! For the glory of Clovis——!"

"For His Majesty the Emperor, stop them——!"

With roars, the imperial soldiers almost frantically launched a counterattack against the levied soldiers who rushed up the city wall. They were repelled again and again by the messy wall of bayonets and corpses thrown on the ground in front of the volleys.

Relying on the few veterans and Anson's "superpower", the first regiment that rushed to the city wall was not defeated by the counterattack of the imperial defenders. Instead, it gradually gained a firm foothold and even pushed forward despite the enemy's counterattack. .

"Then what?!"

With a hoarse voice, Carl Bain yelled at Anson: "We listened to you, this madman, and went to the city wall to fight with the imperial scum for the fort. We are about to be surrounded now!"

"In less than ten minutes, they will find that there are only two or three hundred people on our side at most, and three or four rounds of light artillery can blast us all to nothing. What should we do now?!"

"Adjutant Carl, I think you need to calm down first." Anson comforted.

"I can't calm down, and I'm not your adjutant!"

"Then just pretend to be calm first!"

Anson, who was smiling, looked at Karl with an extremely serious look: "Then follow the city wall and look to your left!"

Karl, who resisted the urge to curse, raised his head and looked at the chaotic fortress battlefield on his left with a blank expression:

"...My leader, can you be more detailed?"

"Okay, let's put it another way - tell me, what is the easiest and fastest way to defeat an Imperial army?"

"Kill their commander, this fool knows..."

Karl blurted out, and instantly a look of horror appeared on his face: "You don't want to kill the fortress commander, do you?!"

"Otherwise, what else could it be?"

Anson raised the corner of his mouth, tightened the bolt of the gun, aimed at the gunner on the opposite side, and pulled the trigger based on feeling.

"boom!"

When the smoke dissipated, the imperial soldier groaned and lay on the breech of the field gun. The imperial defenders on the fort were in chaos.

"What else can you do... bypass the imperial scum's frontal defense line from the city wall and directly attack the main fortress. It's so easy for you to say!" Regardless of rolling his eyes, Karl shouted at Anson:

"We only have two to three hundred people here, not even half a group!"

"Then how many troops can the enemy in the main castle have?" Anson asked:

"Right now, at least two-thirds of the 4,000 to 5,000 levied troops have already rushed into the fortress; even if the enemy still has more than 2,000 troops, how many troops can they be willing to station in the main fort?"

"Even so, but..."

Karl, whose words stopped abruptly, suddenly fell into silence.

Yes, why not?

Although the breach was opened with a surprise attack, the morale and combat effectiveness of the levied army were comparable to those of the scum of the empire. If they were to rely on their firm will and fearless death to expand their results, it would be overestimating them.

The deceived imperial defenders will definitely not give in. There are still a large number of stone buildings and semi-permanent fortifications in the fortress that they can retreat to and defend. It will not take long for the battle situation to be stabilized.

According to Carl Bain's estimation, the current results achieved by the levied troops purely by chance are at their limit. What can really determine the outcome of the battle is the willpower of the imperial defenders and whether the Brigadier General's reinforcements can arrive on time.

For a long time before that, it was probably a melee situation where both sides were trying to contain each other.

Since the vast majority of the enemy's troops are now trapped in the meat grinder of melee, as the headquarters is located exactly on the opposite side of the siege position, the main fortress must have empty defenses and troops!

As long as we understand this, as long as we can find a way to bypass the enemy's main frontal force and rush directly into the main fortress to kill Kroger Bernard, the commander of the Imperial Army, wouldn't we be able to decide the outcome of the battle immediately? !

But……

"But how are you going to rush to the main castle? There are imperial garrison forts everywhere on the city wall!"

Karl looked at Anson with difficulty. It was still difficult for him to accept this crazy tactic: "Is it possible that you want to kill them one by one?!"

Anson nodded slightly. This was the only difficulty in the whole plan - even if he could avoid the enemies on the front, there were still a large number of enemy forts on the only passable city wall.

It only takes one shot of shotshells and solid bullets from the twenty-four-pounder cannon, and he will be dead even if he is wearing full body armor.

In addition, there is another concern that cannot be mentioned with Kal Bain...the Old Gods.

The battle had lasted for more than an hour. Even though he had expanded his search scope as much as possible, Anson still did not notice the figure of the Old God Sect.

Why... with the war situation so anxious, isn't it the best time?

Or did you really take the lead and make the other party lose the opportunity?

At this moment, a weak scream sounded in Anson's ears. He had had a similar experience and his face was suddenly shocked:

"Everyone - get down!"

Anson shouted with all his strength, stretched out his hand to push Carl down, dropped his rifle, and threw himself to the ground:

"Artillery fire is coming!"

"boom----!!!!"

The next moment, violent explosions and flames engulfed the entire fort instantly!

Accompanied by a deafening roar, a violent shock wave followed; the fortress cannon, weighing more than two tons, was thrown into the sky along with the gravel and rubble in the explosion, and the dazzling firelight flickered in the rain. , making the dark fortress battlefield seem like daylight.

The moment the fire flickered, the masonry breastwork was shattered like paper; all the soldiers who had not had time to dodge were instantly engulfed by the flames and air waves, and their screams and wails were drowned out by the sound that was enough to pierce the eardrums. among.
