After Shi Hao called in the shield-breaking bullets, he finally broke the turtle shell on the door after several volleys.
Although he had broken the enemy's defense, Shi Hao did not dare to stop firing for even a second. The doorway was shrouded in smoke and flames, and it was impossible to see the situation inside. Who knew if there was an army waiting to rush in
Huang Zheng said: "According to their observations on the top of the city, the iron bridge seems to have been destroyed, but the enemy is using freezing magic to make a new bridge. Ma Guoming and his men are trying to blow up the bridge with artillery shells, but the enemy has gathered many mages and warriors, and most of the artillery shells have been shot down by them, so the effect is not very good."
"Now that the door is open, the enemy can easily jump or fly across the trench. We must maintain suppressing fire to prevent them from rushing in in large numbers. But we can't close the door either." Shi Hao was scratching his head anxiously.
Huang Zheng cast a mind detection spell, hoping to see the situation in the cave through the smoke, but there was nothing in his sight. He said: "If this continues, we will eventually run out of ammunition. We must organize a team and rush over to close the door."
Shi Hao said: "There are masters among the enemies. Who knows if the great magician just now is dead? Such people have countless means of saving their lives. What if the shield just now was broken and it was just a trap? I think it's better to try to blow down the door."
"It won't work. I've studied the stone materials of the city wall. You can only blow down the outer layer of stone. The core of Black Wood Pass is the alchemical material left over from the Seven Towers era. It's not that easy to deal with." Huang Zheng pointed at the cave entrance and said, "Look, after bombing for so long, only a few stones fell from the doorway?"
Shi Hao added: "Or we can wait until we connect with Suero through the teleportation array and wait for their experts to come here to support us!"
"It all happened too quickly. We are not prepared at all." Huang Zheng said, "We don't know what the current situation of those masters is, nor do we know how long it will take for the people over there to organize the team after the teleportation array is activated. Do you think our bullets can really completely suppress the enemy? The enemy is just not clear about the situation and is waiting and observing. If they really rush in regardless of the losses, do you think we can stop them with just these bullets?"
The answer is obvious. Even the shield cast by a high-level wizard is enough to block bullets and shells for a while. Under such cover, fighting masters and bloodline warriors can quickly break through the front line and reach their front in the blink of an eye.
Shi Hao was persuaded by Huang Zheng and asked, "How do you want to act?"
Huang Zheng said: "Using our independent battalion as the base, we will organize all the high-level and mid-level peak warriors and mages to form a commando team. The warriors will be equipped with enough guns and crystal grenades. Then, as soon as the gunfire stops here, we will rush in, continue shooting while rushing, maintain suppression, and don't let the people outside think they have a chance. As long as we can rush to the other end and close the door, we have hope of victory!"
"Are you planning to lead the team yourself?" Shi Hao asked.
"What else can we do? Are you going to go? Your realm is not as good as mine!" Huang Zheng pointed to his chest and said, "Besides, at a time like this, if we don't fight, how can we expect others to fight?"
"Old Huang, this is really a risk on your life. You, you must come back alive!" Shi Hao said.
Huang Zheng looked up at the night sky. The magical light shining in the night sky obscured the starry sky. "Then... it depends on whether God will give me this opportunity."
—————————
The commando team was established in less than three minutes. Huang Zheng selected thirty people who were proficient in the use of weapons and had a strong desire to fight from the nearby masters who had already been ready for battle. He equipped them with corresponding weapons, and the rest formed a reserve team.
There were twenty warriors and ten mages in the commando team, including both guards and warriors left behind by Orgas.
"Where is Zhang Hong? Has anyone seen him?" Shi Hao asked.
"I didn't see it!" said several soldiers who were sent to gather manpower.
Shi Hao said angrily: "At this time, he is a high-level mage and can't find anyone? What the hell is going on!"
Huang Zheng stretched out his hand to stop him and said, "Alright, I'm not as hungry as you are. Why force someone who doesn't want to come? If they come, they will only hinder us. To me, fighting spirit is more important than strength."
After gathering the men and explaining the battle plan, Huang Zheng asked the mages to cast all necessary magic spells on all the commandos, and then took these people to wait on both sides of the doorway.
Shi Hao ordered the troops who were suppressing the enemy outside to stop attacking, and Huang Zheng led his men in. Gunshots were heard immediately, followed by the sound of crystal grenades exploding.
Shi Hao was waiting outside, looking at the dark cave entrance anxiously. In his eyes, it was like the bloody mouth of a monster. He tried to remain calm, but all kinds of possibilities kept churning out of his mind, making it impossible for him to concentrate.
"Everything is normal! The door is open, we are shooting outside the door, keep suppressing it." Huang Zheng's message came to his mind.
"Be careful!"
"Understood, let's move on."
Not long after this communication, the sound of gunfire in the doorway suddenly disappeared, and the surroundings became extremely quiet. If he hadn't been able to hear the sound of armor colliding with each other when the nearby soldiers moved their bodies, Shi Hao would have mistakenly thought he was deaf.
He subconsciously patted his ears, but still no sound came from the doorway.
"Captain! It seems that there was no sound when our guards were attacked at the beginning. I'm afraid they encountered the enemy!" said Cheng Jing, the platoon leader who reported the news earlier.
Shi Hao glanced at the reserve team. The battalion commander who served as the reserve team commander also looked at him. Shi Hao's eyes skipped over him and fell on a more agile soldier: "Mu Cheng, go and investigate the situation."
Mu Cheng followed the order and left. But before he ran into the doorway, a man stumbled out of the doorway. It was Huang Zheng. He pushed Mu Cheng away and shouted at Shi Hao: "Fire now!"
As soon as he said this, a shadow chased out from behind. It was a warrior in black armor. He swung the long sword in his hand, and a beam of light slashed Huang Zheng's back, splitting him away. Huang Zheng's weak shield was split by the light, leaving a two-foot-long blood mark on his back, and he fell to the side of the road, his life or death unknown.
Mu Cheng raised his gun and was about to shoot the black shadow, but a spear of light flew out from the doorway and pierced his heart from behind.
At this time, Shi Hao finally opened fire, but it was too late to stop the black figures that rushed out from the doorway. Some of them were wrapped in fighting spirit, while others were wearing shields. Guns and cannons could not stop them from crossing this short distance. In less than a minute, dozens of black figures rushed towards the guards' positions like demons pouring out of hell. (To be continued)
