Chapter 415 (Under the Fire and Starry Sky (Part I)
"Team 3, head to the northern wall! The 6th squad went to replace the 4th squad in the western rift area.......... "At night, Philadelphia, the city of Atlantis's throat, with the unremitting efforts of the sunset, finally repelled the invading Atlantan soldiers again, but at this time there was no sense of relaxation in the city after repelling the enemy's attack, on the contrary, while the Atlantan soldiers retreated, the city remembered the noisy but neat pace than in the previous battle, and the command of the officers who never set, After all, the Battle of Philadelphia didn't end so easily.
Now in the city of Philadelphia, the sun does not set on the side that has won a rare time to rest, and under the dispatch of the officers of the various regiments, the reserve troops and the participating troops are quickly completing the change of defense; On the city wall, the sunset heavy soldiers, who had drawn their maces, swords or short spears at their waists at the moment of crisis, were using torches in their hands to set fire to the wooden siege ladders and siege engines that remained on the city walls one by one, so that they would not cause trouble to their side in the subsequent night battles; And in the dilapidated streets, the citizens of Philadelphia, guided by the swords and black bread of the soldiers who never set, are pushing old trailers that crunch all the way to carry the bodies of the war dead to the designated locations, and then carry the asphalt clay pots, arrows and other items needed for the front line to the city walls in carts.
"Your Excellency, General." When the two members of the Shoyi Legion, who had been holding their hands on their sabers at their waists, saw the man coming up the stone staircase behind them and immediately saluted him, Assar, who was in battle uniform, and the commander of the Changyi Legion, who was his lieutenant, the samurai with broken arms, Sasaki, also appeared on the walls of Philadelphia, which had been blackened by the fire oil and completely melted into the night: "Sasaki, how is General Rakuman now?" ”
"Very emotionally stable, Your Excellency. He stopped shouting as soon as he regained his hearing and understood everything, thanks to the nurse who dared to take the place of the sunset field doctor who had amputated three of her toes, and who had Rakuman now worthy of being appointed to rest in the rear. ”
"Well, in addition to the injury to his ear and left foot, he also has a very fatal knife wound on his right shoulder, and the field doctor who amputated his toe said that he must not be allowed to have any overreaction or strenuous exercise during his recuperation, so ......... You should arrange for Rakuman not to tell Lacumman any news about the front, at least until the Atlantan army has reached the inner city of Philadelphia.
"Don't worry, Your Excellency General, I will definitely take care of this matter............ By the way, General Sherman asked me to tell Your Excellency the General before I came, and His Majesty Sun Linmian used his royal war eagle to tell you that our cavalry will take nearly 5 hours to arrive at the earliest, so please ............ Your Excellency before I come."
"Boom............" Before Sasaki's words were finished, dozens of huge boulders burning with raging fire flew over the walls of Philadelphia, and the continuous tremors made the soldiers on the city wall who never set the sun couldn't help but feel a trace of fear, after all, as long as they were a normal person, they would be afraid of death, and the performance of these soldiers who never set the sun was already very good, you must know that the citizens of Philadelphia who were attracted by the soldiers who never set the sun with swords and bread dropped everything in their hands in a panic at the moment when those giant fireballs fell, Without looking back, he ran towards Philadelphia.
"The whole army is ready to meet the enemy! Sasaki! And you two, go and blow the trumpet. After the first round of flint attacks, after hearing the horns blown by the three Xiyi people and the insults of their superiors, these Xiyi soldiers and the soldiers of the sun never set finally calmed down, and climbed the city wall and their designated defense positions in turn, waiting for the appearance of those Atlantic soldiers.
In the early morning of the Atlanta soldiers' feint attack, the thick city wall was suddenly blown up, and the tragic death of more than 100 soldiers who never set the sun and Xiyi soldiers really gave the sun never set, even in the hearts of those veterans who had been on the battlefield several times, it caused a lot of shadows. But in essence, it was not the soldiers of Atlanta who were afraid of the soldiers of the sunset, but the inexplicable explosion, after all, the sapient beings had a slight fear of the unknown threat itself.
But after learning that the Atlanta side could only create this situation, and Asal personally went out to replace Rakuman, who was on the front line before, to the front line of Philadelphia's West City to inspect the soldiers of the Sunset side in this area, and also led by example to appear on the wall at the edge of the crack mouth to boost the morale of his own soldiers, so in the next battle, although the morale of the soldiers on the Sunset side has been declining due to combat fatigue, it is also because more and more lives are being killed on the Atlantan side, The devastational effects of the previous explosions are also fading. So far, on the whole, the soldiers on the side of the sun never set have regained the confidence and honor that belong to the people on whom the sun never sets.
"Kill the ........." The Atlanta soldiers holding the crescent spear under the personal command of Heidi Bat, after carrying the kite-shaped shield behind their backs to resist the arrows thrown by the Yoman longbowmen on the city wall, raised the halberd-like crescent spear in their hands and shone into a crack from the hundreds of catties of black powder that entered, but at the moment when their vanguard stepped into Philadelphia with the front foot, the giant shield crossbowmen who had been ready behind the city wall used the Mo forging crossbow in their hands to shoot at the Atlantan crescent spearmen who rushed in, and then, The members of the Changyi Legion, who had started the state of the Banzai Charge, brandished the knives in their hands that had sharpened the iron into the mud and rushed into the gap to slash the attackers.
Around the rest of the city walls, sweaty engineers were pushing huge black iron pots filled with boiling hot oil in front of the city walls, and while enduring the attacks of those arrows, they tilted the black iron pots with large iron hooks, allowing the hot oil to cook the Atlantan soldiers who were crawling up the siege ladder under the walls.
"The hateful sun doesn't set, where did they get so much hot oil, how much black iron has burned out of the pot, and there is still stock," Looking at the "loud" waterfalls falling from the city wall, smelling the smell of burnt meat in the cold air, Heidi Bart, who was watching the battle from afar, gritted his teeth and said,
In fact, Heidi Bart's reaction at this time is very normal, because although people in this king continent know how to make oil, they don't know what asphalt and oil are in Langdao, and they don't know what the two things are for, plus the asphalt in the asphalt clay pot is often replaced by fish oil, etc., which leads to the fact that the war resources of the Great Empire that have been in contact with the sun never sets have always believed that the sun does not set The war resources of the Great Empire are only Greek fire and oil, which are two flammable materials, but they don't know that there is also asphalt.
"Huh? What was that? Just as Heidi Bart, who was watching the battle from behind, was about to send a new reserve to advance, a faint but growing figure caught his ears.
