The soldier who was put down by the hanging basket failed to complete the task in the end. When the hanging basket was close to the lower part of the city gate and before he could throw the shells in his hand, an arrow shot him down. life.
But this is not the end. There are 300 soldiers in the first brigade. In a blink of an eye, two hanging baskets were lowered. Two soldiers with pale faces were unfortunately selected, and the implementation began again. This is easy to send away. mission of life.
But this time, although two soldiers went down, there was only one shell.
The value of alchemy shells is not low, how can so many be wasted
One of the soldiers holding the alchemy shell has the same task as the previous one, while the other guy who does not hold the shell has one more job - he needs to jump onto another hanging basket while the hanging basket is descending, and put the The shells from the former soldier's corpse were picked up and reused.
Bad luck, the empty-handed soldier jumped from one hanging basket to another, and he didn't know whether it was due to nervousness or too high difficulty, so he failed to jump well. He fell from the height and broke a leg, but before he could howl, he was chopped off by the soldiers of the Maron Legion who surrounded him.
The other person managed to ignite the fire and successfully threw the cannonball down, but he was too resigned to his life, and the thrown cannonball failed to hit the target. Although several soldiers of the Maron Army were killed, the collision car still Still hitting the city gate again and again.
He was quickly pulled up, without any accidents on the way, and successfully stepped onto the city wall alive.
But before this guy could heave a sigh of relief, his team leader slapped his head and face: "Have you heard everything I told you before? I told you to drop to a height of three meters before throwing the bomb. Throw it closer. Who told you?" Did you throw it away so early?"
The soldier covered his face, it was hard to tell.
Indeed, there was a requirement of a height of three meters before, but only after he was on the scene did he realize how terrifying three meters is - if the enemy soldiers jumped up, they could cut him down with weapons!
"Go down again! If you can't finish this time, I won't pull you up!" The team leader said again viciously. Without giving him any chance to intercede, he stuffed another shell into his arms and pushed him into the basket.
On the other side, an even more unlucky soldier once again took on the task of picking up the lost cannon hanging in mid-air.
The soldiers next to him couldn't bear it, and they were also afraid that this task would fall on their own heads. The way they looked at their captain had changed, and they were a little dissatisfied. This task of sending them to death is really inhumane.
The team leader still maintained a hard look on his face, as if he didn't care about these eyes.
But where does he really not care? It's just that there is no way.
The plan was drawn up by Verina herself. It is still a very cruel method. The soldiers sent down have a high chance of completing the task, but the survival rate is terribly low.
She will not understand this truth, but she still suppresses the captain and keeps sending her soldiers to die in order to complete that difficult task.
This is easy to understand from Verina's own perspective, just like she decisively gave up on the soldiers at the gate of the city before. This is also a kind of approach that looks cruel but is easy to understand intellectually.
How many soldiers are worth sacrificing to prevent the gate from being broken? Verina didn't know this number, but if she really wanted to measure it, it would definitely be worth more than a large group of soldiers.
That being the case, she wouldn't hesitate at all—at worst, all the first brigade would die, and all 300 soldiers would go down on the gondola. How could they fail even once
That's what she thought, and she did so without any pressure.
Soldiers from the first brigade were constantly being let down near the city gate. At first, Ma Long's people didn't understand what they were going to do, but when two bombs exploded beside them, they couldn't react anymore. Just stupid.
It's just a pity that among the soldiers who were mobilized to attack the city gate and the city wall, there were no archers. The one who was shot to death earlier was killed by the arrows shot by the archers hundreds of meters away.
This flow of arrows depends on luck. Although they have temporarily mobilized crossbowmen, Verina on the city wall can't let Malone's long-range attack troops approach so easily, and they have been suppressing them all the time.
However, this does not mean that the soldiers protecting the rushing cars under the city wall have no way to deal with the people on the hanging basket.
When the hanging basket is placed in a lower position, these soldiers will throw the weapons in their hands over.
Of course, this cannot be more accurate than point-blank shooting, but at least it is a countermeasure.
Needless to say, the effect is still there. Several soldiers on the gondola were thrown to death just like this.
When nearly twenty soldiers of the guard battalion were killed in battle, the remaining people were very resistant to this task. Even under the constant pressure of officers at all levels, no one was willing to continue.
This is different from fighting to death on the battlefield. Facing the enemy's blade on the battlefield, even if they are desperate, the soldiers will have the idea and courage to fight to the death.
But now, in this situation where one dies one by one, it is difficult for people to have any courage.
The captain was quite helpless, but just as he was about to say something harsher, he saw Verina walking over.
"Why didn't you continue to carry out the order?"
"Legion Commander..."
Verina is not actually asking, the meaning of this sentence is more inclined to question.
When the captain hesitated, she simply pointed out two soldiers and asked them to go down.
One of them refused, and the paladin didn't care, so he slashed out with a single sword.
Stepping on the head that fell to her feet, Velina said coldly: "The first day you entered the training camp, what was the first sentence I told you? No matter in wartime or peacetime, do not follow orders Those who commit suicide will be executed on the spot!"
The paladin general, who was once amiable in the eyes of the soldiers, now has a heart as hard as steel.
Soon, under her personal supervision, two more soldiers were put down by the hanging basket, and they died without any accident, and none of them survived.
Verina didn't even frown, and two more soldiers were let go.
With lessons learned from others, who would dare not follow
This time luck was good, there was a bang, and the bomb exploded anyway.
Before, it was not the case that there were no bombs exploding. However, the previous few explosions failed to hit the car, at best they exploded nearby. There are still some threats, but they are not too great.
But this time, the bomb just landed on top of the car! (To be continued.)
