Rise of the Empire Total War

After a night of rest, Ahmed was finally able to get out of bed and walk around on his own. He staggered out of the barracks and looked at the scene outside the barracks. He was shocked to find that there were many cracks in the city wall of Nyandipa, and there were many The rays of the sun rising from the east can still shine through the holes made by the artillery bombardment into the bottom of the city wall, giving a little light to the shadows under the city wall.

Not only the city wall was damaged in many places, but when I turned my head to look at the city, the buildings and houses close to the city wall also suffered. They were either hit by stray bullets flying over the city wall, or affected by shells piercing the city wall. Even the solid city wall could not be destroyed. Block the shells, not to mention these fragile houses. As long as it is hit by a shell, even if it is lucky that it did not collapse in the first place, it will be seriously damaged and crumbling.

When he was sizing up the damage from the shelling, a pair of big hands suddenly patted his shoulders, which made Ahmed tremble and almost jumped up. He quickly turned his head to look at the person who patted his shoulders, but Surprisingly, he found that the other party was Tal, the son of the blacksmith who rescued him.

Tal! he exclaimed. Are you all right?

It's just a broken skin, I've recovered a long time ago. Tal said nonchalantly, while rolling up his sleeves, showing Ahmed's bronze-colored strong muscles, and then looked at Ahmed's body , asked: How about you, how are you?

I'm fine too, but my body still hurts. Ahmed replied.

That's good. Damn Winsters almost killed us both. If he has the chance, he will make them pay the price. Tal touched his fist and said through gritted teeth.

Hearing this, Ahmed said with a wry smile: Tal, we were beaten up like this without even seeing the Winsters. How can we make them pay the price? You should save yourself some effort.

Damn, Ahmed, how can you say such frustrating words. Tal said dissatisfiedly, he lightly hit Ahmed's chest with a fist, but made the latter's center of gravity unsteady and staggered a few steps, He almost fell to the ground, but fortunately Tal caught him in time, otherwise Ahmed's ass would suffer again.

Why is your body so weak? Tal asked in surprise.

I……

Ahmed was just about to answer, but at this moment, he heard a dull roar suddenly sounded outside the city, followed by a series of loud noises from artillery bombardment, the expressions of the two changed drastically, and before they had time to react, He saw that the city wall not far from the barracks was hit hard by a shell, piercing a hideous hole. After the shell shot through the wall, it flew straight into the city and knocked down a tall tower standing on the top of the building.

Enemy attack! Enemy attack!

The urgent bell rang suddenly over the city,

After waking up the soldiers who were still sleeping, they hurriedly put on their armor and rushed out of the barracks. The defenders on the city wall ran into their posts as fast as they could, and looked at the Winster position outside the city in shock. Behind the criss-cross trenches, dozens of artillery were deployed in specially constructed emplacements, sending deadly shells into the sky one after another.

Assemble! Assemble!

Don't panic! You bloody pigs!

Assemble! Climb the walls! Climb the walls!

...

Various slogans echoed in the barracks. Ahmed and Tal glanced at each other, and couldn't care less about chatting anymore. They hurried back to their barracks to get equipment. At this moment, several shells hit the wall of the city wall. On the surface, the entire city wall trembled, one of which directly penetrated the city wall, flew towards the chaotic barracks, and immediately smashed into the dense crowd, running over a bloody road inside. All of a sudden, human limbs and broken arms flew across the barracks, and a broken arm fell from the sky, hitting Ahmed who was about to enter the barracks.

The sudden shelling and tragic losses caused the morale of the soldiers in the barracks to plummet, and some of them ignored the officers' scolding and orders, and ran around like a headless fly in the barracks, or He just took a chance and slipped out. Seeing this, the officers had no choice but to abandon these soldiers, and instead took the soldiers who had already been prepared to leave the barracks and head for the city wall.

Returning to the city wall again, Ahmed’s heart was full of fear. Every shelling from the Winsters outside the city made him feel that the ground was trembling. He didn’t know if a shell would hit him by accident. , making him a fragmented piece of meat on the ground just like the soldiers who died.

Stick to your posts, no one knows when the Winsters will attack, so you can't retreat without authorization!

The officer's voice rang in his ears, distracting Ahmed's attention a little, but he soon focused on the artillery positions outside the city. I will survive. He vowed inwardly.

...

In the next few days, the Winster army outside the city did not launch an attack. They only had continuous bombardment every day as if it was a mission, consuming a lot of gunpowder and shells on the city, but their bombardment was not in vain. It worked. After a few days, the walls of Nyandipa City collapsed in many places, and the buildings in the city were also damaged to varying degrees. A large number of soldiers died under shelling, or fled to the city with armor and weapons because of excessive fear. The intricate lanes made it impossible for the army to arrest them like searching for a needle in a haystack.

In addition to the casualties of soldiers, countless civilians were buried under the ruins of collapsed buildings. Hundreds of people were homeless and could only sleep on the streets. Under the tense atmosphere of wartime, they did not dare to make too much noise.

Seeing that there are more and more gaps in the city wall of Nyandipa City, the commander of the Winster army outside the city, Butters Stotzi, finally couldn't hold back, and gave an order to prepare to attack. As soon as his order was conveyed, he received Seeing the soldiers' positive response, they could only watch the artillery firing on the city wantonly every day, which made them very jealous who could only wait. Because there is only one end for doing so - being arrested by the gendarmerie to enforce military discipline.

But now, their chance to play has finally come. How can the soldiers not cheer for joy? In order to be able to join the next siege battle, each of them is gearing up and eager to try.

Butters is very aware of the feelings of the soldiers, and this is also the result he wants. As long as the enthusiasm and fighting spirit of the soldiers under his command can be mobilized, then in the next battle, even if the battle has not yet started, they will also faintly overwhelm them psychologically. The enemy is headed.
