At noon on the day the defenders of the frozen fortress refused, Jupiter ordered his troops to attack the inner walls.

Tens of thousands of tribal warriors, armed with siege equipment captured from the armory, made their way through the road leading to the inner walls, intent on breaching the inner walls in one fell swoop.

However, before these tribal warriors could push the siege equipment to an effective striking distance, they were strongly blocked by the ambush soldiers.

Most of these ambushes are equipped with light individual equipment such as scimitars, small shields, light crossbows, fuel oil, and fire folds, and they do not engage in white-knuckle warfare when they come up, either throwing fuel cylinders to burn siege equipment, or using light crossbows to release cold arrows, and run away after fighting.

The tribal warriors tried to pursue them, but these ambushes were so elusive that they often ran through the corners of alleys and suddenly disappeared, or they went headlong into a house and searched for a long time without seeing anyone.

Later, a tribal warrior was quick to catch an ambush soldier when he was chasing and killing, only to find out that they were conducting guerrilla warfare through underground secret tunnels.

Although the existence of the underground secret passage was discovered, the battle situation for the tribal warriors remained unchanged, they were not familiar with the structure of the secret passage, even if they chased it, they could only spin around like headless flies, just getting lost, and the unlucky point was killed by those ambushes who understood the structure of the secret passage.

In this way, the advance of the tribal warriors became difficult, and from time to time people were killed and wounded, and the siege equipment was frequently damaged, and they had to watch out for cold arrows and fuel cylinders flying from nowhere, and their movement was naturally slowed down.

Jupiter, who was overlooking the battlefield from the outer city wall, was originally full of confidence, thinking that it would be easy to break through the inner city wall and crush those stupid remnants, but now seeing that the other party was methodically carrying out tunnel guerrilla tactics without collapsing, he couldn't help frowning and looked at Assuma coldly: "What's the matter?" Why do these people still maintain their combat effectiveness? ”

Ashuma didn't know what the situation was, so he could only reply stubbornly: "I think... It's possible that Larsen's beheading has spurred on the idiots, who plan to break the net. ”

Jupiter snorted coldly, ignoring Ashuma no longer paying attention to him, he looked at the battlefield in the distance, and said to himself: "Our warriors can't die here needlessly, those fools want to fight? Hehehe, then let them fight enough! Apollo, send troops to bring 'those people' up. ”

Apollo gave an eerie smirk and walked under the walls.

...

The inner walls of the frozen fortress, Solandale was standing under the banner of the Laurel King overlooking the battlefield, and the battle situation in front of her was as she expected, the guerrillas greatly slowed down the enemy's offensive rhythm through the tunnels, and did not let a siege machine push to the range that could threaten the inner city walls.

However, at this time, with the clarion call from the enemy camp, all the tribal fighters suddenly disengaged from the guerrilla forces and withdrew from the war zone.

This scene made Solandale wonder, the other party finally advanced some distance, and now it is fully retreating, the distance advanced before is all in vain, and when the time comes, it will be killed and injured again by the guerrillas, why is this?

One of the soldiers looked a little excited, and asked tentatively, "Are these barbarians scared by us?" ”

Solandale stared at the dead silence of the war zone ahead, a bad premonition came to her heart, her heart beat faster and faster, and she frowned and said, "Something is not right..."

At this moment, some figures appeared at the end of the war zone, and the soldiers on the inner city wall were also vigilant.

Everyone originally thought that the remnants of the Six Kings had been deflated in the first battle, but now they should have dispatched more elite tribal warriors to prepare to forcibly break through the guerrilla war zone.

But as those figures approached, the scene in front of them made everyone's hearts sink to the bottom.

Among the figures who came, none of the people in the platoon were tribal warriors, but civilians, judging from their clothing, they were all aborigines who had lived in the frozen fortress, there were old people, there were women, and there were many children, and those children were not yet adults, some were even five or six years old, only as high as the waist of adults, and the total number was at least 500 people.

Behind each civilian was a tribal warrior who bent over and hid behind them, as if they were their shields.

The old men and women were so frightened that their faces turned pale and their legs trembled, and some of them were so frightened that they could not walk, and they were pushed forward by the tribesmen's hands.

The young children, unaware of their situation, innocently tilted their little heads, looking at the strangers behind them, and at the royal flags fluttering on the distant city walls, their eyes full of longing for laurel flowers.

Seeing this scene, Garrot's heart chilled, not that he felt that the practices of the remnants of the Six Kings were too despicable... In the Laurel War, what despicable means did the Far Eastern Dynasty not use? Soldiers on the battlefield are not tired of cheating, sometimes they just have no moral bottom line at all, and he has seen too many things like using civilians as meat shields.

Garrot was not chilled by the actions of the remnants of the Six Kings, but worried about Solandelle and the future of the battle.

This was Solandale's first time commanding a large army, and she was already immature in her experience, and she had never dealt with an emergency, only to encounter such a despicable enemy.

In such a tricky situation now, even if it were to be handled by an experienced commander, I am afraid that there would be some hesitation, and Garrot could not imagine what kind of mood Solandelle was in now.

Also chilling are the soldiers on the city walls, who are now being pushed out are their compatriots, who have lived together in the frozen fortress for several years, many of them are even familiar faces, they met and greeted them on the street yesterday, and today they have become hostages of the remnants of the Six Kings...

Just when the soldiers were at a loss, Solandelle's voice suddenly came: "Shoot the arrows." ”

Everyone including Garrot was in shock, and one soldier looked at Solandale's back and shouted in a trembling voice: "Your Highness, that's our compatriot!" ”

Solandale turned, and the soldiers froze in place.

I saw Solandelle crying, her thin shoulders kept trembling, her tears were frozen into ice crystals by the cold wind in the far north, and they kept falling on the placket of her clothes, her eyes looked desolate and sad, but her voice was firm and unwavering: "I know that they are compatriots, they are, and so are you." If the enemy is allowed to advance and approach the danger zone, the inner city wall may be breached, and the hundreds of thousands of people behind us who have not withdrawn in time will die. ”

"I'm not a god, I can't save everyone, I can't put most of you in danger for the sake of the few people in front of me."

Solandale turned around, and looked firmly at the tearful eyes: "30 seconds, remember the compatriots who are about to die, and repent and apologize to them." And then..."

"Shoot the arrows!"
