daytime.
Golden Triangle Principality, outside Auburn City.
On the horizon, a large amount of dust suddenly rose, the thunderous sound of horse hooves appeared, and a black-armored cavalry team of more than a thousand people roared in, rushing to the gates of Auburn City like a rising tide.
The many days of war and the fall and surrender of many cities in the Golden Triangle Principality have made the soldiers of Auburn City extremely vigilant. When you find that the enemy is approaching, a sharp whistle sounds, and you quickly climb to the top of the city, grab the crossbow or bow and arrow and take aim. Be prepared to shoot unceremoniously once the enemy continues to approach, teaching the opponent a lesson.
The leader of the cavalry team outside the city, Wu Long, the commander of the First Glory Cavalry Regiment of the Northern Legion of the Kingdom of Blood, frowned as he watched all this.
On the established offensive line, Auburn City is a moderate obstacle.
Seriously speaking, Auburn City is a medium-sized city. The city wall is not very high, but it is impossible to climb up easily. The soldiers in the city are not very elite, but it is impossible to surrender without a fight.
There are great variables in attacking such a city. If there is an excellent general in the city, Auburn City can be made impregnable. Even if it is attacked by several times the number of troops, it may not be successful. And if the general in the city is a loser, you may be able to force the opponent to surrender by intimidating him.
In short, you must take it seriously, otherwise you may suffer big losses.
Wulong frowned even more tightly.
"Ta-ta-ta..."
The sound of horse hoofbeats sounded, and Richard rode up to Wulong. He took a look at Wulong's expression, followed his gaze to the top of Auburn City, and asked aloud: "What's the point of conquering this city?" Is there any difficulty, Captain Wulong?"
"This..." Wulong looked at Richard, pursed his lips and said, "Master Wizard Richard, it is indeed difficult. You see, with the way the opponent is showing now, he is very vigilant and has sufficient defense. It is very difficult. It is difficult to find opportunities for sneak attacks. And we are all cavalry now. We have no siege weapons and cannot attack by force. Even if we cut down trees nearby and make siege weapons to attack by force, we will suffer heavy losses and the time will be delayed for a long time. So... "
After a pause, Wulong asked seriously: "So, in the current situation, we can only ask Master Wizard Richard and the other Master Wizards to take action."
"Is that so?" Richard nodded, turned to look at Wulong and asked, "Then how far will the action go?"
"Ah?" Wulong was stunned and thought to himself, is this what he said
"Master Wizard, as long as you can take action, no matter how far you go, all my people will be deployed to assist the Master Wizards in taking over this city." Wulong said.
Richard shook his head slightly, knowing that Wulong didn't understand what he meant. In fact, I don't blame the other party, after all, the other party didn't dare to really command him.
"Then let me put it in another way." Richard said, "Captain Wulong, if you have enough troops now and you are a wizard yourself, how are you going to fight this battle? How are you going to command? , so that we can capture this city as quickly as possible and at the lowest cost?”
"This..." Wulong hesitated, thought deeply for a while, and said in a deep voice, "If it is really like what you assume, Master Wizard Richard, I will attack in the most direct way. Although the opponent's soldiers look good, But I believe it is impossible to have the determination to fight to the death.
Therefore, as long as you blast open the opponent's city gate, rush in and eliminate the first wave of people who try to counterattack, cause a lot of damage in a short period of time, and severely demoralize the opponent, you can basically guarantee the victory of the battle. The remaining soldiers in the city, even if they still insist on resisting, can only be regarded as remnants and can be easily dealt with. "
Richard nodded after hearing this: "According to what you said, I will be responsible for breaking the door, and then after killing the first wave of people who try to counterattack, you can successfully take over the city, right?"
"yes."
"Okay then, give the order to your men. Get ready to charge. Watch my gestures to attack later." Richard said.
"Huh?" Wulong was stunned. Before he could react, Richard had already jumped up from his horse and flew towards the head of Auburn City.
When the soldiers at the top of Auburn City saw Richard, they were shocked and shouted: "Wizard! It's a wizard! Attack, concentrate on shooting! Shoot him to death!"
"Boohoo!"
Immediately, dense arrows shot towards Richard like locusts.
Richard didn't care at all about this kind of attack. After all, he had the ability to defend against arrows when he first arrived in Blue Lion City, let alone now
The eyebrows are slightly raised, the lips are opened and closed, the incantation is recited, and the spell is cast.
The surrounding air gathered quickly, wrapping his whole body like armor.
"Bang bang bang!"
Arrows shot around his body and were directly bounced away by the solid air. Occasionally, arrows with relatively strong penetrating power pierced into the air armor and froze directly, like insects in amber.
"Ta-ta-ta..."
Ignoring the arrows completely, Richard approached the city gate and finally stopped with a "pop".
The soldiers at the top of the city looked horrified and continued to shoot desperately. Richard turned his hand and took out Pandora's hand cannon from the space iron ring.
With the heavy hand cannon in his hand, Richard's body swayed slightly, and he quickly released several "Brute Force of Wind" spells to hold on.
After that, Richard took a deep breath, aimed at the city gate, and pulled the trigger.
"boom!"
The shells from the hand cannon flew out, hit the city gate hard, and then exploded.
"Boom!"
It was like a storm capable of destroying the world was released from the cannonball. Under the action of the powerful shock wave, the solid city gate was torn apart like a piece of tissue paper, turning into thousands of fragments and flying in all directions.
Many of the arrows originally aimed at Richard were blown away by the residual power of the shock wave, making the soldiers at the top of the city look like they had seen a ghost.
Richard ignored the soldiers at the top of the city and focused his gaze on the city gate.
Inside the city gate is a wide avenue, on which hundreds of heavy cavalry are waiting, and behind them there are hundreds of heavy infantry wearing iron armor and holding large shields.
Obviously, Auburn City had long expected that the city gate would be breached, so it made many preparations.
It's just that they didn't expect that the city gate would be breached so quickly, and they didn't expect that only one person would breach the city gate.
The heavy cavalry and heavy infantry were stunned, but quickly reacted and began to charge, preparing to attack.
Richard looked at these people calmly and said slowly: "How about giving you a chance. If you surrender now, I will let you receive reasonable treatment as prisoners."
No one answered, only the sound of heavy horse hooves and heavy breathing, getting closer and closer.
"Okay." Richard looked at the heavy cavalry approaching dozens of meters away, stopped talking, turned his hand, put away the hand cannon, and took out the magic firearm.
Duanping.
aim.
Pull the trigger.
"Bang bang bang bang bang bang!"
The projectiles roared out, and flesh and blood flew everywhere in an instant.
Even ordinary wizards cannot resist the power of magic guns, let alone ordinary soldiers. With just one face-to-face encounter, the attacking heavy cavalry and heavy infantry were defeated, and then they fled in all directions with eyes wide open in fear.
Richard stopped and looked at the chaotic scene without saying anything. His goal had been achieved.
He turned around, slowly walked out of the city gate, and waved to Wulong outside the city.
Wulong had already reacted at this time. Without any hesitation, he ordered a charge and led many soldiers into the city. First, they defeated the last few groups of soldiers who had the courage to resist, and then dispersed throughout the city like mercury, taking control of the entire city.
The city of Auburn changes ownership.
