The soldiers on both sides who received Owen's instructions roared and charged towards Du Yuanzhi's troops.

Facing such a battle, it was naturally impossible for Du Yuanzhi, who had an obvious military disadvantage, to fight them head-on.

Maintaining the iron barrel formation, he retreated decisively and led a group of soldiers back to the city gate passage area.

His retreat can be said to have changed the entire situation in an instant. He effectively used the special space and terrain of the city gate to instantly resolve the pincer attack from the enemy forces on the left and right sides.

At the same time, he used his talent as a 'divine strategist' to form troops and quickly transformed the iron barrel formation into a one-sided iron wall formation.

The tight shield wall composed of large shield soldiers directly kept out the incoming enemy soldiers.

Then seeing the opportunity for the enemy soldiers to attack the shield wall, Du Yuanzhi gave the decisive order!

"Fire wind bomb, release!"

Among the mage troops, the wind mage simultaneously releases gale bomb attacks.

The gale bomb has an excellent formation-breaking effect. Even if the shield-axe soldiers are charging towards them, even if they use their shields to block the attack, the small whirlwind generated by the subsequent explosion of the gale bomb will still blow away the soldiers in the front row.

go out.

Once the front row shield wall is broken, the back row troops will have an opportunity to output.

The other mages conserved their mana for the time being, and the goblin crossbowmen and archers opened fire decisively, crushing them directly with a dense rain of arrows.

Facing this oncoming arrow rain, the enemy soldiers who charged forward decisively stalled.

Amidst the screams, a large number of soldiers subconsciously retreated to the left and right sides.

At this moment, Owen, who has been observing the battle situation from a distance, his face has become extremely gloomy.

There is no doubt that the opponent is trying to trick him!

He ordered his soldiers to launch an outflank, and the other side would retreat to the city gate passage, and then use large shield soldiers to form a shield wall to block the entrance, and then use special magic attacks combined with the firepower of the rear troops to repel them.

On the contrary, if he asks his soldiers to retreat, the opponent will change into an iron barrel formation again and come out.

Use powerful magic attacks to continue destroying the ladder and killing the soldiers under his command.

Just like the method he used to fight the war of attrition a few days ago was a conspiracy, the method Du Yuanzhi used at this time was also a complete conspiracy.

You know what the other person’s purpose is, but you just have to go ahead.

This terrible situation made Owen's face almost drip with gloom.

There is either no way, or it is to risk people's lives.

Let the soldiers under your city rush into the city gate in large numbers to put pressure on the troops below, so that they have no chance to rush out and destroy the ladder.

At the same time, let the soldiers on the wall speed up their movements in order to occupy the entire wall faster.

But this method will obviously cause heavy casualties to his troops.

Previously, it seemed that he could control the victory, but he was suddenly brought back to this point by the opponent. This really made Owen's whole mentality a little explosive.

Putting on his iron bucket-like helmet, Owen rode a war horse and rushed directly to the front line with the personal guards behind him.

While using this to boost morale, he shouted loudly...

"Push the armored cart and storm the city gate!!"

The last armored car that he ordered to be abandoned was located near the city gate and was not destroyed.

In this current situation, since we are going to forcefully storm the city gate, we must make good use of it.

After receiving the order, the Europa soldiers pushed their armored vehicles and began to rush towards the city gate.

Based on the strength of the large shield soldiers, it is undoubtedly a fantasy to try to withstand a head-on collision with an armored vehicle.

At this moment, Du Yuanzhi was seen making moves at the drop of a hat.

While the Europa soldiers on the opposite side began to push the armored vehicles, he directly led his soldiers to maintain their formation and retreat quickly.

Before the armored vehicle completely crashes in, signal the soldiers to use artillery to defeat it!

This entire process is a matter of life and death for both parties.

When the roar of the artillery fire sounded, the armored vehicles of the Europa army had already rushed in front of them.

At that time, the distance between them was not more than 20 meters by visual inspection.

The tyrannical bombardment directly blew away an entire armored vehicle.

The shrapnel that then flew away due to the explosion even affected the defending troops in the rear.

Fortunately, Du Yuanzhi was mentally prepared and asked the large shield soldiers in the front row to raise their shields in advance.

Shrapnel splashed on the shield surface, but it didn't have much impact on them.

At most, some soldiers had no time to react and were temporarily deafened.

"Fire, keep firing!!"

Amidst the roar, the three cannons fired one after another.

Without the cover of the armored vehicles, the flying shells directly hit the Europa soldiers pouring into the city gate passage.

The successive shellings caused the entire city gate passage to tremble violently, as if it was about to be blown down.

The soldiers who were hit head-on by artillery shells were even more dead.

Within the city gate passage, blood, severed limbs, internal organs, and minced meat were splashed everywhere.

The entire city gate passage seemed to have turned into a hell on earth.

The soldiers of Europa began to be afraid. The power of the artillery on the opposite side was too strong.

However, the fight has reached this point and the price has been paid. How can Owen allow them to retreat at this time?

Decisively activated the 'morale boosting' skill, and while boosting morale, he loudly ordered...

"Charge, keep charging! Anyone who dares to take a step back will be hanged for desertion!!!"

Owen had directly given the death order, and the soldiers who had been cut off from their retreat began to charge desperately with their shields in hand.

After the cannon fires one round, it cannot immediately fire the next round.

Du Yuanzhi, who had been prepared for this, naturally had a way to deal with this.

The mage troops in the back row had already started chanting spells when the artillery started operating the cannons to fire.

Now looking at the Europa soldiers charging forward again, Du Yuanzhi gave a decisive order...

"Mage troops, execute tactic No. 2!"

The so-called No. 2 tactic is one of the tactics specifically used by mage troops to deal with charging troops.

The moment they received the order, the wind mages decisively attacked first and broke the formation with fierce wind bullets.

The earth mage then used the flying stone technique to destroy the enemy's formation a second time.

After relying on two rounds of spell attacks to completely disintegrate the enemy's formation, it ended with the fire mage's second-level fire spell bursting fireballs and the thunder mage's second-level thunder spell thunderstorm to cause damage!

With a complete set of spell baptism, from destroying formations to bursting damage output, the mage troops once again demonstrated their value!

Needless to say, the damage done by the bursting fireball and thunderstorm spells is negligible.

A proper high-injury spell, if hit head-on by these two spells, ordinary soldiers will basically die.
Chapter completed!
