Chapter 592: Scorching Battlefield

Bridges across the sea are being pieced together.

Cangye watched the formation of this bridge, and in less than a few minutes, a passage connecting the two continents was officially formed.

With orderly steps, the army of Surdua crossed the bridge and entered the continental edge of Sipocles one after another.

At the moment of crossing the sea, a deadly attack from the night had already arrived.

A coalition of Monsutes set up bed crossbows and trebuchets along the coastline, and the Surdua, who had not yet landed, were baptized by an ancient civilization.

This counterattack is nothing more than the dying throes of a lower civilization under the growing perception of Surduwa-esque arrogance, like weak bugs unwilling to believe that they will be easily pinched to death, but in the end, they have to admit the reality.

The allied forces of Monsutteria were greeted with mortars.

The slender barrel cannon body is only supported by a few brackets, and only two people are needed to complete the adjustment of this pocket gun from splicing to bombardment, under the impetus of hot gunpowder, the round metal cannonballs fall into the enemy formation, and the power can be used to stomp on a low city wall on the spot, if the subject is changed to a dense battle formation, no matter how tight the armor is worn, a bombardment will definitely cause more than 30 casualties.

Hundreds of mortars rained down on the enemy as they moved.

After a period of uproar, the ignorant, rude, and backward Sipocles natives were defeated, but the casualties were too small to be felt.

However, it is no wonder that they do not form dense battle formations, but are divided into relatively loose small squares, which happen to be the most hated attack formations by mortar gunners.

Perhaps this group of ignorant natives was just too lucky.

……

The manipulative Nights have completely led the Susurdua into the trap they have set for themselves.

This coastal sniping is only a breeding ground for arrogance, from the supreme commander to the junior privates, who should be blinded by arrogance, and blind self-confidence is the source of destruction.

Cangye knows this, so he is good at using this strategy.

Finally, under the secret arrangement, the Surdua vanguard army has taken the lead in coming to the city, ten legions, 50,000 men.

The vanguard carried firearms, large and small, ranging from long-handled firearms to siege artillery.

Although they were initially frightened by the size of the city, the shock of the giant city had been washed away by contempt and arrogance after receiving information from the advance team.

In this way, the general in charge of commanding the vanguard decided to go against the plan of the commander-in-chief and lead the whole army to directly attack the city.

If he can raze the entire city with the vanguard army alone, he will become a famous general of the empire, and he will enjoy a higher standard of treatment than the commander-in-chief, both in terms of status and reputation.

Such devilish thoughts have been entangled with the general, deeply implanted, and constantly magnified that boast and vanity until the spiritual defense line has completely fallen.

Judging from the final result, the general was indeed carried away by the desire for victory.

According to intelligence, the city is surrounded by three high walls on all sides, and there are dense fortifications along the route, which are set up to effectively defend against the bombardment of large artillery.

However, judging from the results of the investigation, this seemingly impregnable defense system has a fatal weakness.

There were too few people to use, and the stupid people of Monsut would not be like a man of high civilization who did not have the knowledge to use this set of fortifications flexibly, so the greatest advantage of the great city was wasted.

Thus, aiming at one of the weakest defensive gates, the vanguard suddenly launched an onslaught.

Sixteen siege guns were fired continuously, and the continuous suppression of fire instantly plunged an entire city wall into a sea of fire.

The sound of a clattering shaft sounded.

The gates around it were lowered to block the fire, but the shock caused by the shells continued to be staged.

Compared to the great onslaught, the counterattack at the top of the city was no more than the firing of arrows, catapults, or bed crossbows, so weak that they were shattered to pieces by the terrible artillery.

Create enough movement to believe that the troops of the four walls will be attracted to it.

At this time, the elite of the army will secretly infiltrate the city, lower the drawbridge from the inside, open the city gates, and let their own people into the city.

The seemingly simple plan was actually carefully calculated by the general, and each step presupposes countless possibilities for pre-launch.

The four teams of elites were secretly triggered, led by captains who were all legendary professionals, and each led no more than 100 elites to infiltrate the city.

Each captain had memorized the map of the city as indicated by the intelligence, so every street was familiar with the road, and even the secret paths that passed through the people in the city were also known.

Eventually, they infiltrated the city through this path.

The defenders had been overwhelmed by the frontal attack of the Surdua vanguard, and the defenders on all sides were being moved here by bad commanders to try to gather superior forces to gradually suppress the firepower.

However, they would never have imagined that the enemy had infiltrated the city.

When the soldiers guarding the city gate fell to the ground, the stunned eyes were the best portrayal.

The wolf-like attack of the Surdua annihilated a group of 100 Surdua on the spot, and the assassins hidden in the shadows were also pulled out and strangled in the sun.

Things are going so well that the elite get carried away.

When the last of the soldiers who resisted was beheaded, there was no hindrance, and the elite immediately activated the switch, lowered, and the drawbridge, the steel portal made entirely of metal was slowly opened from the inside.

Without the infiltration, even the siege artillery would have wasted an incalculable amount of shells to completely break the door, each of which was worth enough to bankrupt a solid family of three that year.

The gates were opened, and the unhindered Surduwas, under the command of the ecstatic general, rushed into the city, and those who resisted were torn open by the barrels of their guns that swallowed flames.

Running forward under the coercion of extreme excitement, when the scenery along the way changed again and again, but no one could be seen, the general's excited brain seemed to be poured with a basin of cold water, and he immediately sobered up.

"Everyone, stop me!"

The stopped army looked around, the dead silence, the desert, all kinds of intentions showed extraordinary information.

A kind of panic that could not be contained spread in the general's mind.

Opening its mouth, it wanted to scream and make everyone retreat, but the next moment, it couldn't say anything. For true destruction has come.
