Chapter 665: Chapter 483, Dwarf Attacks the City_3
Seeing that Deng Bin was unwilling to come out, the dwarfs did not waste any more time.
They said coldly, “Well, if that’s the case, don’t blame us, Deng Bin.”
After speaking, they turned around and walked away.
On the city wall, Deng Bin’s eyes hardened, “Kill him.”
Zackery the hero immediately drew his bow and took aim. Ping––! The bowstring lightly sounded, and an arrow shot out.
The dwarven deer rider had just turned around when he saw the icy arrow coming from the corner of his eye.
He leaned his body forward.
The whole person then lay on the giant deer’s back while the arrow sparked upon the iron helmet and flew past.
Having had a close brush with death, the dwarf was filled with fear.
Whacking the giant deer, it hurriedly sprinted back to the dwarf camp.
Woo–––!
Then, the bugle sounded.
The dwarves began their movement, closing their distance.
Deng Bin watched the dwarves, her eyes filled with a deep chill.
“Archers, prepare. All soldiers, prepare.” Deng Bin shouted.
Shwwsh shwwsh shwwsh!!
All the archers drew the arrows from their belts, making their final preparations.
However, what happened next turned Deng Bin’s face ashen.
Her heart overflowed with despair.
…
Just as all the soldiers had made their preparations.
The dwarves did not initiate an assault, instead, they started to adjust the muzzle angle of their cannons.
Then came a series of thunderous roars.
Boom boom boom!!
The cannons echoed across the world.
“Find cover, be careful of the can…”
Boom boom…
Before she could finish, the city wall began shaking violently.
Bang!
A cannonball hit the upper part of the city wall, the earth and stones exploded. The nearby archers were blown away, their flesh scattering around the city.
Boom boom boom!!
The city wall trembled time and time again, making the soldiers stagger, struggling to stay upright.
People were continuously blown away.
Blinding flames constantly exploded below and above the city wall.
The wall began to break, with debris falling down like raindrops.
The city’s defending soldiers were immediately suppressed, they could only bow their backs, scurrying back and forth on the city wall flattening the injured soldiers underneath.
“Kill!!”
While all the city defenders couldn’t lift their heads.
Down below, the dwarves began to cry out their attack.
The hook-tipped siege ladders made contact with the city wall, and the dwarf foot soldiers, holding their shields, began to climb upwards.
Deng Bin slapped her buzzing ears, glanced downwards.
The enemy’s cannons had stopped.
The dwarf infantry began their attack and the dwarf archers continued their suppression fire.
Deng Bin helped up an archer next to her, loudly shouting, “Archers attack, throw the stones and logs, now…”
The dazed archer, who was blown away, immediately stood up and began shooting downwards.
The auxiliary troops began transporting stones, rolling logs, throwing them down from the city wall.
Below, the dwarves howled in pain.
Step step step!!
Zackery quickly walked over, bending over to speak, “The city gate is still intact, but it definitely won’t withstand the second cannon attack. Once the gate is open, it will be hard to defend.”
He phrased it mildly.
Once the city gate is open and considering the quality of the dwarf soldiers, the soldiers in the city will certainly be overwhelmed by the dwarves.
When that time comes, it will truly be a disaster.
Deng Bin didn’t respond, instead she raised her head and looked around.
Whoosh!
A bullet flew past her cheek.
Causing her to pull her head back in.
But immediately, she poked her head out again to quickly glance at the dwarf camp.
Cries of killing surrounded her ears.
Leaning on the battlement, Deng Bin closed her eyes in contemplation.
In her mind, she was visualizing the enemy’s formation and considering counterstrategies.
After carefully weighing the pros and cons.
When she reopened her eyes, they were filled with a ruthless determination.
She said coldly, “Zackery, you lead everyone below, leave through the north city gate and sneak attack their artillery and archers from behind.”
Zackery was taken aback, his brows creasing. “What about you? Without the troops, what will you do if they break in?”
“I’ll be fine. If you succeed, drive them away. If not, retreat eastwards. I will also retreat with my people and we can regroup at Crown Stone Forest,” Deng Bin explained.
Zackery gritted his teeth, “Alright.”
With that, he took the troops and left.
In no time, the north city gate opened quietly.
Large numbers of soldiers used the cover of darkness to leave.
In the city, there were only slightly more than five hundred soldiers left, relying on the city wall to fend off the enemy.
However, as time passed, casualties began to rise.
Of the five hundred soldiers left behind, less than two hundred were left now.
Deng Bin was covered in blood, panting heavily.
She swept her long sword sideways, using the momentum to kick a dwarf off the city wall.
Just at that moment, cries of killing sounded from the right side of the dwarf camp.
One could see Zackery leading the foot soldiers, circling back, and directly charging at the dwarves.
Deng Bin’s face lit up with joy.
However, this joy didn’t last long as it quickly turned into confusion and doubt.
Facing the enemy from behind.
The dwarves handling the machinery didn’t show any signs of panic, instead, they controlled the machinery methodically.
They turned a four-barreled cannon in the direction of Zackery and the rest.
The cold muzzle faced Zackery and the others.
The next second.
The four-barreled cannon emitted a loud roar.
Pong pong pong––!
Sounds resembling the banging of a copper tube echoed.
The charging humans were mired in clouds of blood.
Blood and body parts splattered everywhere.
In the blink of an eye, a large number of the human side were dead or injured.
Zackery frowned, looking around him, the comrades who had been charging with him had disappeared.
All that was left was a wide-open space, filled with red blood mist.
