"The enemy is coming! Counterattack! Counterattack! After hearing the roar of the commander in front, the defenders of Sunset, who had just stopped fighting for a long time and were still panting for breath, immediately supported each other, picked up the Mo forging crossbow beside them and moved to the edge of the battlement, and fired crossbow arrows at the dwarf warriors below who broke through the city gate again.

"Ahh Although he was wearing super heavy plate armor and the sledgehammer in his hand was enough to smash the Sunset soldiers in front of him who only had at most half of the plate armor on their bodies one by one, no matter how heavy the armor was, it could not resist the terrifying penetration of Mo Forging's crossbow, and a large number of dwarven warriors fell under Mo Forging's crossbow one after another before they rushed into the outer gate of the fortress.

"Greek Pyro!" For the gate to be broken through again, the officers who were guarding the gate seemed to have become accustomed to this, and unhurriedly mobilized the only nearly 100 sunset heavy armor warriors in their hands, and cooperated with a large number of sunset spearmen to delay the breakthrough speed of the dwarven warriors at the gate, while directing the Greek flamethrowers in the rear to move forward.

"Launch!" Raging fire erupted from the dark iron pipes, leaving only wails everywhere the flames went, and even the imposing dwarven warriors could not maintain a good attitude in the face of the heart-rending screams of their comrades, and it was not long before the dwarven warriors who broke through the gate frantically withdrew from the battlefield like a tide - after all, even their officers were charred, and without officers or standard-bearers to stabilize morale, a mindless team would inevitably flee as long as it did not fall into the dead.

The dwarven warriors at the front began to retreat backwards, while the dwarven warriors at the rear frantically assaulted like an entrance without knowing the truth. In an instant, the dwarven warriors at the gates of the city crowded like sardines in a can, and at this moment, the Greek flamethrowers in the city moved like front. Sent all these enemies who dared to challenge the army of the sun to return to the forge of the dwarven forge god.

Compared to the fierce battle at the city gate, the situation of the soldiers who insisted on fighting above the ruined city walls was better, yes, on this city wall that was very easy to be shot by dwarven crossbowmen outside the city walls, and even could be knocked away by flying ballista shells and stones, the soldiers of the Sun Never Setting Empire killed and routed no less than a quarter of the strength of the dwarven legions in just a few days, and a large number of mutilated dwarven warrior corpses had filled the moat, and even some gaps in the city wall were filled with the corpses of dwarven warriors.

Although nearly half of the deaths of these dwarven warriors were due to the fact that the sun never set. But the fact that at least a third of the remaining troops had died at the hands of the soldiers on which the sun never set made the mood of the gloomy dwarven commander, who had been unable to storm Fort Stanner for many days, feel even more uncomfortable and restless.

Tuck. Copperbeard was the supreme commander of the Dwarven Legion in the assault on Stannerberg. At the same time, he is also the patriarch of the Light Dwarf clan, compared to most of the Divine Light Empire commanders who have good fathers, Tucker. The reason why Copperbeard was able to obtain the position he was in front of him was the same as when he obtained the position of the patriarch of the Light Dwarf Clan. It was his own hard work. This can be seen in the red orchid badge on his chest set with a ruby and made of gold, otherwise how could a dwarf with nothing but iron filings in his head be thought to have fought a beautiful battle that would not have set the sun on the Maginot Line?

But such a dwarven commander who can be regarded as extremely clever, when facing Fort Steiner, he can only be the same as those commanders of the two empires in the Central Regions who command troops to fight along the coast of the western regions of the Central Continent, and there is no strategy except for the method of hard attack: the artillery on the walls of Fort Stanner not only crushed the tactics that the dwarves had been using to storm the fortress before, but also completely disrupted the dwarves' understanding of siege warfare, as a sharp weapon to destroy the city wall remotely - a stone thrower, Before it could reach its usable range, it was blasted into sawdust by a flying iron egg.

As for the Flame Hammer, the treasure of the dwarves, although relying on a relatively "mini" body to advance to the city gate and destroy the gate that was poured with molten iron. However, most of the flame hammers felt the terrifying destructive power of the artillery (in the early days, the artillery only had iron bullets, so the lethality to the soldiers was not very large. And the poor accuracy makes its deterrent power greater than its power), and I also felt what the real flame is-the excellent fire oil pipeline system designed by the Mo Duan people and the black iron dwarf can be dozens of times stronger than the external iron pot fire oil system used by the Sun Never Setting Man before.

As long as there is a flaw in these unstoppable pipes, the hot oil flowing from them can instantly burn the armor, cook people or burn them into charcoal, even if the dwarven warriors finally destroy these pipelines with ballistas, the raging fire that never sets still does not give up on turning all the enemies into charcoal, so that those dwarven warriors who use the flame hammer know what the real flame is, and the reason is that the sun never sets is the kind of troops that are feared by the dwarven warriors.

"It's the Greek Pyro again! How many Greek fires did the Sunset Men have in the city, did they bring all the Greek fires on the front line? Tucker angrily slammed his fist on the table under the gaze of the dwarven generals, but even after withstanding the full force of the dwarven commander's commanding general, the wooden soldiers representing the side on which the sun never sets still stood on the red cross representing Stannerberg at the top of the map after several wooden dwarves around him fell.

"This should be impossible, otherwise the war on the front line should be better." Beside Copperbeard, a human general shook his head helplessly and said: "But if I'm not mistaken, these things should have been transferred from the small castles we captured before, plus the troops in Stanner Fort are nearly half more than what our intelligence showed before, which also explains that the resistance of the sun never sets before is so rude, these guys must have mobilized all the materials and troops into Stanner Fort after leaving enough to control those powerful things." ”

"What's the use of talking about that now? Engineering equipment can't be used, except for ladders, you can only use ladders, but even if you attack it, it will take at least half a week or more to capture the city walls guarded by those monsters, but the problem is that what we lack most now is time! Another dwarven senior officer said helplessly: "Although our intelligence officers hidden inside the sun never set have been cleaned up, so we can't understand the movement of the sun never set now, but as long as a fool can guess that the front line will definitely send reinforcements to support, and there is the sun never set army behind us to really pursue, two sides of the attack, our situation will get worse and worse with the passage of time!" ”

"Don't be so pessimistic." Another dwarven commander said, "Didn't we already decide to encircle the area and send reinforcements? We are now waiting for the soldiers of the Sunset who are chasing behind us to jump into our encirclement, we have not all understood before, those who blocked our advance before are actually the mountain warfare troops of the Sunset Empire, to put it bluntly, they are a group of lightly armed troops, and when the time comes, as soon as they jump into the encirclement we have with a large number of weapons, we can let these people go and have no return. ”

"But that doesn't change what we're trying to achieve!" Bronze Whisker said with a wry smile: "Our purpose is not to destroy the sunset troops behind us, but to make a quick assault to the coastal line, and join forces with the friendly forces along the coastal line to carry out internal destruction of the Maginot below, now even if we really annihilate all the enemies behind us, it can't change the fact that we can't capture the fortress in front of us, and even if we win the battle in the future, there are still losses, and it will be even more difficult to capture the fortress in front of us, and if the sun doesn't set on the reinforcements again.........."

"Commander, don't be so sad, it's a big deal that we can't make a detour, anyway, if we annihilate the army that never sets the sun behind us, it means that it is impossible for the side of the sun to set in a short period of time to organize a force that can be good at forest warfare, when the time comes, as long as we withdraw into the forest, it will be like a fish into the sea, and it will be difficult for the party that the sun does not set to find us, but we can become a sharp knife hanging in the heart of the sun never sets, as long as we use it properly, we can also complete the task given to us by His Majesty the Pope."

"But what about logistics?" A dwarven commander who managed the logistics and materials of the whole army frowned and said: "Everyone knows that the road is good, equipment and fresh water are good, this is surrounded by forests, as long as you pay attention to the naïve wood and find those streams hidden in the forest, but we can't get strategic materials such as arrows, and the most important thing is that our grain and grass are exhausted, everyone understands that the reason why our army can be like a rainbow is not because we are cloudy and the sun does not set, But because we told our men that as long as we captured the city in front of us, the food and wine in the city would allow all our soldiers to eat and drink beautifully, and the quilts and hot water made of wool would make us sleep comfortably, and I was afraid if we changed the direction of the attack now......... I'm afraid that the army will be unstable! ”

The dwarf's words made everyone present who had finally cheered up their spirits once again show worried faces because of the confused situation, but no one opened their mouths to blame the dwarf in front of them, because this is an indisputable fact, and everyone present knows that only by accepting the reality can they get out of the predicament.

But this time, even if everyone accepted the reality, they probably couldn't get out of the predicament, because just as Copperbeard was about to say a few more words, a human herald covered in blood limped over, shouting as he ran: "Oh no, our ambush unit has been discovered!"
