There are more and more demons on the city wall, but the soldiers guarding the city wall are unwilling to retreat.
A large number of soldiers guarded the perimeter of the artillery and arrow towers, protecting the enemy from long-range attacks.
As long as they can delay for a moment longer, they can let the artillery and archers cause greater damage to the demons.
Every minute and every second in the war was fought for with blood and life.
With the roar of the brothers fighting in their ears, and the stone slabs stained with the blood of their comrades under their feet, the gunners forced themselves to ignore everything around them and locked on the target as quickly as possible to attack.
Except for Desert City, all the cities that fought against the demons suffered heavy losses, but without exception, all the gunners in each city were dead when they were destroyed.
Everyone can retreat, but they cannot.
Only they can stop the swarming demon army. The artillery they control is the most lethal weapon against the demons.
They will not move from their position until their last breath.
The destruction of the city cannot stop them, only death can knock them back from their posts.
Long before the war started, all those who served as gunners had been interviewed individually. Once they accepted this task, it meant death, without exception.
Anyone can walk, they can't.
However, none of the gunners will run away from the battlefield, their beliefs are engraved in their souls like a brand.
When the city is broken, people will die. This is the responsibility of the gunner in the deserted land.
As long as they can attack with one more cannonball, at least ten demon soldiers can be killed. They are the key to the war of attrition.
With our flesh and blood, we create endless desolation.
No matter how perfect Shen Yanxiao's war of attrition plan is, war will still ruthlessly take away many lives.
More and more demons invaded the city, and the city lord knew that it was time for them to retreat.
He looked up at the city wall, the heavily surrounded fort.
That was his son. He knew that he would die as a gunner, but he did nothing to stop him.
He is the lord of the city, he belongs to the desolate land, and his son also belongs to the desolate land.
Once the large army retreats into the underground passage, that is when the soldiers stationed on the city wall will die for their country. The moment the underground passage is closed, the entire city will be blown into ruins by black powder.
"Everyone..." The city lord gritted his teeth and couldn't bear to say the word "retreat". He knew that once these two words were uttered, his son's death would be announced.
"City Lord! There's a situation!"
The archers on the arrow tower discovered something unusual on the battlefield.
A sudden chaos broke out among the army of millions of demons.
The deserted land has been fighting a war of attrition, and almost never fights with the enemy outside the city. However, the originally peaceful demon army suddenly became commotion, and chaos broke out from the front of the camp.
Because the deserted land has always adopted a defensive posture, every time a war starts, the commander of the demons will always stand at the front of the camp and direct the siege. Now the chaos of the demon army shocked everyone.
The hesitation distance was quite far, and the archers on the arrow tower were unable to find out what was happening on the demon side.
All they could see was that the chaotic demon army began to move toward the forefront. Their goal was no longer just to siege the city, but something seemed to be hampering their attack.
This containment gave the Allied forces in the city some breathing space.
After the city lord learned of the situation, he immediately organized soldiers in the city to fight back against the demons on the city wall.
