A rain of arrows like locusts was thrown from the city wall of Mayin towards the rushing Britannia army.

The sound of the trigger of the crossbow and the friction of the arrow cutting through the air resounded on the walls of Mayin City.

Thousands of arrows slammed into the Britannia army. The soldiers hit by the arrows fell to the ground wailing, and blood arrows flew into the air.

Although after entering the arrow shooting range of the Mayin City defenders, Willie, the commander of the 4th Army, the commander of the 8th Army and others immediately ordered everyone to raise their shields for defense, many people were still hit by sharp arrows.

Arrows claimed lives.

A sharp arrow cut through the air, carrying huge power, and hit the forehead of a soldier who was responsible for carrying the ladder, and shot through the soldier's head.

Because of the high speed and powerful energy of the arrow, the brain, skull fragments and blood formed into a mist, which sprayed out from the back of the soldier's head and landed on the face of a female soldier behind him who was also carrying the ladder.

and on the breastplate.

Also sprayed by the mixture of brains, skull fragments and blood was an older veteran standing beside the soldier who was shot to death.

The female soldier who was standing behind the soldier who was shot to death and was splashed by the "mixed liquid" looked like she was only sixteen or seventeen years old. Judging from her age, she could tell

She must be a new recruit.

This female soldier was one of the batch of recruits that Su Cheng brought to the southern front from Pendragon and was responsible for replacing the dead and wounded soldiers of the Eastern Route Army.

This female soldier, who is a newcomer, has never seen such a formation.

After seeing the senior in front who was doing fine just now, but was shot to death in the next second, and the "mixed liquid" splashed by the senior who was shot to death, the female soldier was stunned.

For a while, I even forgot to wipe off the mixed liquid on my face.

It took several seconds for the female soldier to finally come to her senses.

After coming back to her senses, the blood on the female soldier's face dissipated very quickly.

subsequently

"Ahhhhhhhhhhh!!!"

It was a shrill cry that didn't even sound like a human cry.

Stimulated by this huge shock and fear, the female soldier subconsciously threw away the ladder she was carrying on her shoulders, turned around and ran away.

However, the reason in my heart still slightly outweighed the fear.

In the Britannia Empire... no, it should be said in the armies of all countries in the world, being a deserter is a very serious matter.

Anyone who deserts will be humiliated to death by his own people without exception. If you are lucky, you will also be sentenced to a severe punishment. The punishment is so severe that it is more pleasant to be executed directly.

For this female soldier, the fear of being a deserter and then being executed is obviously greater than the fear of being shot to death like this senior.

Therefore, even though she was extremely frightened, the female soldier still bit her lip, held back the tears that were about to overflow her eyes, continued to stick to her post, and continued to rush towards the city wall of Mayin City with the ladder on her shoulders.

Like this female soldier, she was also splashed by the "mixed liquid" sprayed from the head of the soldier who was shot to death, and there was also an older man standing next to the soldier who was shot to death.

soldiers.

This veteran is probably around 30 years old.

After being splashed by the "mixed liquid", the veteran was obviously much calmer than the female soldier.

After the "mixed liquid" with a strange smell was splashed on the side of his face, the veteran's face only flashed a look of astonishment, and then he calmly wiped the "mixed liquid" off his face.

While wiping the "mixed liquid" off his face, the veteran glanced silently at the female soldier who had just let out a shrill cry and was now biting her lips and looking like she was about to cry.

Looking at the female soldier's limbs that were trembling with fear and her pale young face, the veteran was silent for a while.

After a moment of silence, the veteran silently took the place of the soldier who had just been shot dead and took over the position of the soldier who was shot dead.

After filling the place of the fallen soldier, the veteran secretly said to the female soldier currently behind him in an indifferent tone without looking back:

"Wipe off all those things on your face, then lower your head as much as possible and hide behind me as much as possible."

"?"

With eyes filled with tears, the female soldier looked doubtfully at the veteran in front of her who had taken the place of the senior who had been shot to death just now.

This female soldier was not a fool. She immediately understood what the veteran's intention was.

"Thank you... thank you..."

While sobbing, the female soldier raised a hand to wipe the "mixed liquid" off her face.

Then, as the veteran said, he lowered his head and shrank as much as possible behind the strong veteran.

At this time, the veteran also silently opened his shoulders that were already wide open, making his already straight waist straighter, so that his body shape could

Make it as big as possible to better protect the young female soldier behind you.

…

Similar scenes of soldiers who were fine one second but were shot to death the next were happening every second in each of the three attack directions: north, east, and west.

The Britannia army paid a huge price before they even touched the city walls of Mayne.

After paying countless sacrifices, the Britannia army from the three directions of north, east and west finally rushed to the city wall of Mayne and put up ladders on the wall.

However, getting on the ladder was only the beginning of a brutal siege.

After setting up the ladder, the soldiers of the Britannia Army began to climb up the ladder towards the city wall of Mayin City.

However, the defenders of Mayne City naturally would not just watch the Britannia army climb up.

The defenders on the city wall, under orderly command, fired arrows at the Britannian soldiers who climbed up the ladder, and also threw boulders and boiling water that had been prepared at them.

Under the fierce attack of the defenders on the city wall, the Britannian soldiers who climbed up the ladder screamed one after another, and then fell down the long ladder.

Soldiers continued to fall from the ladder, and at the same time, soldiers continued to climb up the ladder to take the place of their companions who fell from the ladder.

Later, he also followed in the footsteps of the soldiers who had just fallen from the ladder.

Nearly 10 minutes have passed since the ladder was put up on the city wall.

But still no soldier could successfully scale the city wall.

Su Cheng, who stayed in the far north, stared at Mayin City with an indifferent expression, at his subordinates who bravely climbed the wall, and at the soldiers of the Luo Lin Army who bravely defended the city.

Seeing that his subordinates were still unable to climb the city wall, Su Cheng's previously relaxed brows slowly frowned.
