"Phew! There are a lot of cannon fodder in the hands of the Atlanta aristocracy. Spat out a mouthful of bloody phlegm, Leo shoved a stack of gauze into the wound behind the broken plate of his abdomen, and then staggered to the wall of the arrow tower with the help of a steel spear in his hand, and breathed heavily in the turbid air filled with the smell of sulfur.

"Your Excellency, Commander? You're hurt! The field doctor who was searching for the wounded on the city wall immediately found Leo sitting under the wall, and immediately called the two soldiers next to him to run over to help him up, and quickly removed the cuirass from Leo's body, while the field doctor immediately removed the gauze and smashed herbs from his body: "A hole in the abdomen was slipped by a sharp weapon, but fortunately this wound is not serious, but in the next few months, Your Excellency Commander, you will need to stay in the rear to rest." ”

"Humph! I didn't expect that there were some masters hidden among these Atlanta miscellaneous soldiers, cough cough, they were actually put together. Leo, who stood up with the help of two soldiers on which the sun never set, staggered down the stone stairs to the city wall. However, before he left and evacuated to the rear to rest, in order to ensure that the enemy would not break through the city defense line of Philadelphia, Leo first asked the herald to call the three commanders of the regular regiment of the Sun Never Setting and one commander of the mixed regiment of Saiyi Ashigaru Samurai who participated in the command of the defense of the city, and then endured the severe pain and instructed all the precautions, and then looked at the scattered Atlante arrays in the distance before leaving.

Today's date is February 23, the 6th year of the new calendar, which is the 14th day of the joint invasion of the continental plate occupation zone of the Western Continent of the former Atlanta Empire, and the 10th day of the Battle of Philadelphia.

During this period, with the start of Philadelphia, the first city occupied by the sun in the continental plate, more than a dozen cities and fortresses in the area occupied by the sun never set, including Atlantis City, also began to defend the city. Of course, as the only inland city in the occupied area of the western continental plate of the current Great Empire, Philadelphia is the most powerful by the impact of the combined forces of these former Atlanta Empire nobles, and even more violently than Atlantis City, the ultimate target of these nobles' power, because until now, Philadelphia has attracted the attention of about 150,000 infantry of various types in the 500,000 miscellaneous troops of the nobles.

The reason is simple, because the geography of Philadelphia makes the city a military center that any powerful force must capture if they want to capture Atlantis by land: on the strategic map, Philadelphia is a well-equipped city on the highland plains northeast of Atlantis, and the troops stationed in the city can use the naked eye, or the "Ivasha Giant Watchtower" built by the Atlantans in Philadelphia to observe Atlantis from the interior Observe whether Atlantis City is attacked, more importantly, the road network around Philadelphia is very developed, if Philadelphia is used as a transit point, the daily baggage it can provide to the army troops attacking Atlantis City will be calculated in thousands or even tons, so Atlantans often say: "If you want to knock out the hard teeth of Atlantis, the best way is to pierce the throat behind him first-Philadelphia."

"Attack! Offensive! On the battlefield, the non-commissioned officers of the various Atlanta regiments brandished their swords and whipped the Atlantan militia or peasants recruited from the Western Continent with the long whip in one hand, and moved forward with rudimentary combat tools in their hands, and the only war equipment they were assigned was a siege ladder. It's not that the Atlanta nobles are stingy, but that their arsenal of improvised siege towers, manatee trebuchets or shark ballistas has already been destroyed by the four giant crossbows mounted on the four gates of Philadelphia in the previous battle.

These Atlanta militias or peasants are extremely cheap, so cheap that all Atlanta nobles treat them as cannon fodder, but this is also related to the funds in the hands of those nobles, although the Atlanta Empire left these nobles with a rich heritage, but after all, after distributing so many original Atlanta Empire nobles, the average amount of funds allocated to each person is really not much, they can give these Atlanta militia and peasants in their hands, and the average person can be allocated a melee weapon is already considered the sky.

Of course, it is undeniable that the sun never sets is that although these Atlantans are weak in individual combat effectiveness, their large number does make the scalp of the soldiers who never set sunset, and it is obvious that the person who commands these troops to attack Philadelphia will definitely not be a mediocre talent, which can be seen from the fact that from time to time among the siege troops on the Atlantan side, there will be some elite aristocratic private soldiers from time to time, and the battle on the Atlantan side is like a wave that never stops moving forward on the shore, and it can be seen from the continuous impact on the walls of Philadelphia. And the commanders of the Sun Never Set also admitted after the war that they were not necessarily capable of commanding this effect.

However, the sun never sets is not a vegetarian, and there are more than 10,000 Xiyi ashishi holding long samurai guns in their hands, and this slightly rough super-long spear formation still exerts the characteristics of an ultra-long spear formation - making the enemy frightened by dense phobia. Therefore, when the sun never sets on the side of the side a large number of long-range troops stop shooting and rest, and the offensive of the Atlantan side is too fierce, it is very bold to give up the position of the first third of the city wall, and let the Saiyi Ashigaru form an extra-long spear formation in the back, so that they can stab or knock them down on top of those Atlantan miscellaneous soldiers, and it doesn't matter if some of the Atlantan soldiers are very brave enough to dodge the first dozens of samurai spears that cut and stab at them. Because the Saiyi warriors scattered in the Xiyi ashizu light spear formation, armed with scythes, would immediately go out and split them into two pieces before the Atlantic soldiers could react.

"Report to the Legion Commander, we are running out of arrows, javelins and asphalt clay pots, etc., and we will lose a lot of help from our ranged troops!" Rushing to the city gate in a hurry, the Sunset Herald reported the latest baggage situation to the commander of the 5th Longbow Regiment of Sunset, who was commanding the battle on the east walls of Philadelphia.

"What about the storage capacity of medicine, food, and fresh water?"

"It is expected to last for half a month."

"Half a month, half a month............ I hope that General Asal will complete his duties soon......... Hey, what's that? "The commander of the 5th Longbow Regiment suddenly noticed confusion in the rear of the Atlanta troops in front, and then, on the distant front horizon, a long red line appeared, and the horn of the charge during the battle of the Great Empire on which the sun never set sounded.
