Seeing that the solid bluestone city wall was vulnerable to the bombardment of artillery fire, Winnie also wanted to make a contribution in this war, so she eagerly ran to Owen.

"Lord, let me help too! I can drop explosives from the air to blow up the enemies on the wall like last time."

As she spoke, she was so excited that she stretched her wings a few times.

"No, I can't let you put yourself in danger."

Owen shook his head decisively and refused: "The other party has muskets. Even if you can approach the city from the air, it is too dangerous. This task should be left to the artillery battalion."

"Oh... okay then." Winnie pouted and retreated dejectedly.

On the artillery position, Blue waved his hand and said loudly: "Fire!"

Another round of artillery bombardment was launched. This time, the artillery was mainly aimed at the city gate.

Under the ruthless artillery fire, the city head had been blown to pieces, smoke billowed, and the knights and guards on the city wall suffered heavy casualties. They were powerless to resist, and the defense line had collapsed.

This is the result of backward weapons and equipment, being beaten on the battlefield and unable to fight back.

There is no need to sympathize with them too much, this is a war, and one party will have to pay a heavy price for it, whether it is the Royal Capital or Auroville City.

If Dawn City loses to the Royal Capital, Irving and the others may not end up much better than those enemies who died tragically. With White's ruthlessness, it might even get worse.

boom!!!

The city gate was instantly blasted open by artillery fire.

Using a telescope to confirm this situation, Blue then ordered the artillery to stop the bombardment and prepare for the next move.

On the other side, Viscount Jarvis ordered the bugler to blow the attack horn, and the loud horn sound spread throughout the dock.

Several musketeers immediately took action and advanced rapidly towards the east city gate.

When the People's Army arrived at the east city gate, they found that the troops who were supposed to be on standby behind the city gate had long since disappeared. The ground was full of potholes, with black smoke rising from many pits, and there were several corpses lying on the ground.

That's right, no one can remain calm under artillery fire unless they are frightened to death.

"Commando Team 1, follow me!"

"Assault Team 2, this way!"

"Team Three..."

The musketeers were divided into multiple assault teams. According to the attack plan assigned by Viscount Jarvis, they entered Junhui City in multiple ways and started a street battle with the enemy.

While cleaning up the remaining enemy troops, they slowly advanced towards the royal palace and castle.

At the same time, the spies lurking in the royal capital were not idle either, and the men he recruited—all civilians who hated White because of the loss of their loved ones—were actively guiding people to evacuate in the city.

During the process of guidance, the spy did not forget to claim that he was Owen's subordinate and was ordered to help them.

Compared with White's indifference to the people, Irving's move has once again shaken up the public's support.

The outer city area is where civilians live. Most of the commandos encountered were sporadic enemies who broke away from the team. They did not encounter any strong counterattacks and just pushed their way through.

After entering the inner city, the commando's advance slowed down.

Bang bang bang!

On a certain road leading to the palace, the fifth assault team led by Kadir encountered a fierce counterattack by the enemy.

After firing back a shot at the other side, Joel hurriedly retreated, leaning his back against the wall, and couldn't help but curse.

"Damn! They actually set up bunkers on the road. If they plan to attack by force, our team will definitely suffer a lot of casualties."

It seems that the knights of the Royal Capital have accumulated a lot of experience in using muskets, and have discovered that bunkers can reduce the damage and damage caused by enemy firepower to personnel and equipment, and improve the combat effectiveness of personnel and weapons and equipment.

Not only that, they also found that loading ammunition for muskets was a bit time-consuming, so they developed a tactic of two people alternating and firing.

"Don't worry, Joel."

Kadir, who was hiding behind another wall, responded: "Don't forget, the lord has already anticipated this situation and equipped us with new weapons."

As he spoke, he took out a wooden-handled grenade from his waist with a wicked smile on his face.

The wooden handle grenade has a relatively simple structure and is relatively easy to manufacture in batches. It can be used to kill living targets, destroy simple civil fortifications or complete other combat tasks.

Using it to blow up the enemies behind the bunker is more than enough.

Holding the tab at the end of the wooden-handled grenade with his left hand, Kadir waited for a good opportunity to throw it.

After the enemy in the front row finished firing, retreated to reload ammunition, and the next group of people came up to shoot, he suddenly pulled, stretched out, and threw the wooden handle grenade in his hand forward.

The wooden handle grenade fell behind the bunker along the parabola, and the enemy also saw the "short wooden stick" thrown by the opponent.

"What is this? A stick?"

A knight nearby didn't know what it was and wanted to bend down to pick it up.

The moment he stretched out his hand, the wooden handle grenade exploded.

boom!!!

"Ah——" The enemy behind the bunker let out a scream.

Seeing this, Kadir raised his hand and shouted: "Come with me!"

Upon receiving the order, the fifth assault team rushed over with bolt-action rifles. When they found the knights who were still capable of fighting, they immediately shot and killed them, and then continued to advance.

Other commandos also encountered similar situations and successfully broke through with the help of wooden handle grenades.

In addition, the commando team also encountered an attack by black-clad assassins. Like the group that assassinated Irving last year, they were all eunuchs and were White's secret subordinates.

Unlike the Royal Capital Knights, although they did not possess muskets, they often sprang out from hiding places to launch attacks. They were very difficult to deal with. Moreover, they all regarded death as a matter of course, causing even more casualties than the Royal Capital Knights.

Fortunately, the number of assassins in black was small and could not affect the direction of the war.

In addition, the commando team was deliberately cautious, so the success rate of their subsequent sneak attacks was not high.

In the street fighting, the magician was of little use. It took time to cast magic, and the range was not as far as that of a musket. They were completely defeated by the People's Army.

Many magicians were worried about their own safety and even applied magic shields to themselves. However, it was useless and was broken with one shot.

The fifth assault team successfully arrived at the meeting point, which was in front of the entrance gate of the royal palace and castle.

They were not the first to arrive. Several teams had already arrived and were shooting at the enemy from the temporarily constructed shooting positions.

The outer perimeter of the palace and castle is separated by a moat. There are only three bridges that can lead directly to the entrance gate of the castle. However, a large number of enemies have been deployed there and relatively strong defenses have been built.

Only then did Kadir realize that most of the royal capital's knights had gathered around the castle. That was the hardest nut to crack today and the final battle.

Without thinking much, he quickly led his team to join the battle.

At this moment, the cart with the heavy machine gun mounted on it was pushed up. The machine gunner aimed at the opposite side and fired wildly, with long tongues of flame spitting out from the machine gun's muzzle.

The effect was not ideal. After all, the enemy was not a fool. Faced with such powerful machine gun fire, of course he had to hide quickly to avoid bullets.

However, it is not completely useless. Heavy machine guns are unparalleled in suppressing enemy firepower.

Until the artillery battalion struggled to push the heavy artillery to the designated position and start the bombardment.
