On May 24, 1125, the mainland calendar, Nyandipa, overcast.

The city wall of Nyandipa, which had been besieged by the Second Brigade of the First Army of the Kingdom of Winster for several days, had collapsed in many places by the forty artillery of the Second Brigade. The buildings in the city were also damaged to varying degrees in order to block it With the gaps in the collapsed city walls, the defenders had to transport the building materials from the ruins and build simple fortifications behind the gaps. Obviously, the fortifications were not very reliable. At most, they could only defend against bows and arrows.

However, the defenders could only rely on these fortifications to resist the Winster attack.

Toot toot——

"go ahead!"

The sharp whistle from the iron whistle sounded like a grin of death, which made the defending soldiers terrified. They looked at the enemy troops who raised their flags like a tide and tried to resist, but found that their legs trembled. It was terrible, and the rumble of cannons mixed in the battle roar made their hearts tremble even more. Although they could hear the roar of artillery for days, they still couldn't get used to such terrifying weapons.

"Don't be afraid! Remember your mission. The Winsters are flesh and blood like you. They will be shot by arrows and javelins, and they can be killed by swords, so don't be afraid of them!"

There was a loud encouragement from the officers. Although they pretended to be calm, Ahmed could still feel the trembling and fear in the voices of those officers. After being infected by the people around, Ahmed couldn't help but become nervous, and he swallowed. Swallowing the saliva secreted by tension, and clenching the simple javelin in his hand-this is a weapon issued to the soldiers deployed on the city wall, the purpose is to throw it condescendingly when the Winsters approach.

"The artillery is coming! Watch out!"

At this moment, a frightened and sharp voice rang not far away, and then, as if to respond to his words, the sharp whistling sound of cannonballs flying at high speed from the air, all standing on the wall The soldiers hurriedly dodged short, but it didn’t work. A shell instantly smashed the walls of the city wall, smashing the soldiers hiding behind it to pieces. Sprinkled around like a goddess flower, dyeing the soldiers next to him into blood.

More shells hit the city wall, causing the city wall under Amed’s feet to tremble violently. The center of gravity was unstable and fell directly to the ground. Screams and curses immediately sounded around the city wall. The defending soldiers could only Rely on this method to alleviate the fear in the heart.

In the inner castle, the dull rumbling sound from outside spread into the ears of King Du Bois of Russino from time to time, making him frown. The continuous shelling made the city’s defense almost called a leak on all sides. In Winster In the two main directions of the army's main attack, huge gaps can be seen everywhere. Fortunately, the number of enemies is not large. Otherwise, if the city is surrounded on all sides, they really have to wait to die.

"How's the situation at the North Gate." He asked a nobleman behind him while finishing the armor on his body. The latter was taken aback and quickly replied: "Your Majesty, there is no trace of enemy troops at the North Gate, as long as You order that we can break through the North Gate at any time."

"Get them ready, it seems that the Winsters are here for real this time." He said bitterly, and then punched the wooden table with a muffled sound, "The city's guards The army is distracted, and even if it is forcibly defended, it can only last for a day or two... Damn, I should find a chance to buy Winster artillery."

Du Bois’ words left the nobleman speechless, and could only stand there straight, looking down at the soles of his feet. The benefits of the Winster’s artillery were visible to everyone, but in fact, it was not only him. Many nobles who accompanied the army also thought that it would be of no avail to escape to the royal capital. As long as the artillery threat of the Winsters was still there, even the strong castle could not be resisted.

The roar of artillery outside was still sounding, and Du Bois’ already gloomy expression became even more gloomy. He shook off his steps and walked to the terrace of the inner castle. He stood on it and looked outside, only to see that both the south gate and the east gate had fallen into it. After the fierce battle, Winster’s infantry hit the gap. They used elite grenadiers as the forward, used early grenade to blast simple fortifications, and then stepped on the fallen ruins to straighten their bayonet and rushed in, giving the grenade. The bombarded defenders hit head-on.

The strong intrusion of the grenadiers directly repelled the defense line of the defender after the gap. A large number of line infantry followed their steps and rushed in, quickly occupying a favorable position and shooting at the defending troops who came for reinforcements. For a time, the wall was breached. After the gunshots were loud and the smoke filled, the defenders rushed there non-stop, trying to drive the incoming enemy out, but they were shocked to find that the enemy's firepower was too strong, and they were already attacked before they rushed halfway. A round of volleys fell to the beating, and the rest of the people were shocked and had to retreat backwards.

They couldn't beat the grenadiers in close combat, and the charge was suppressed by firepower. The Rusino people desperately realized that they could no longer prevent the fall of Nyandipa. They retreated one after another and gave up the idea of ​​continuing to fight. . The knights just wanted to take the initiative to attack and use the streets to make a wave of charges, but looking at the scene of defeat, they had to choose to save their lives and withdraw to the inner castle.

Du Bois had nothing to do with all this income ~lightnovelpub.net~, so he had to order to break through the north gate and return to the capital. Fortunately, the imperial army was ready at the north gate. They simply packed the wealth of the inner castle, then rode forward to join the army, then opened the city gate, and left without hesitation along the stone road to the north.

Poorly the few soldiers in Nyandipa who are still resisting. They have no idea that they have been abandoned by the king and are still holding on to the battle line. die.

As for Du Bois’s army, after leaving the city gate, they were caught in the eyes hidden nearby. They watched the team leave the city and walked a certain distance before leaving the hiding place. As the first man rushed out of the woods where he hid, more cavalry followed, each of them wearing the unique uniform of Winster's army, holding a short carbine in his hand.

This is the back hand that Butters Stozzi left in advance, because he was unable to encircle the city on all sides, so he grasped the characteristics of the cavalry unable to participate in the siege, and arranged the carbines in the army in advance to the position of the north gate. ——This is also his bold gamble. If the Lucino escaped from the west gate instead of the north gate, then he would have lost the opportunity to catch King Du Bois alive.

"Rush up and catch King Luxino alive! It's now time to make contributions!"
