Ark: The Cycle of Light and Darkness

The siege operation was completely beyond Levi's expectations.

Although the intense fatigue after marching in the middle of the night prevented the attacking army from fighting at full strength, due to the disparity in strength and the temptation of killing Regulus Harvey, xxx still chose to attack the city directly.

Besides...if the attacking army is tired, shouldn't the defenders be tired as well?

Under this logic, the first wave of attacks fell on the head of Bernburg.

Fortunately, facing Bernburg, which has low walls and poor defense capabilities, the army outside the city did not deliberately carry siege weapons. Instead, they directly used long-range ordnance to suppress it, and then prepared to set up ladders to climb the city.

【hateful! This is more troublesome than imagined! ]

In less than 5 minutes of the storm, there were nearly a hundred casualties, which made Julius feel a little annoyed.

It seems that the opponent has been prepared for a long time, and for things like raids and sieges, if you encounter a prepared opponent, the trouble you will pay will be doubled.

【Damn Regulus Harvey, do you really want to be buried with this city?! 】

Facing an army of 25,000, it is undoubtedly foolish to defend the city with less than 2,000 people, and the behavior of the legion in the city to keep their army out of the city at all costs is enough to make Mecklenburg The commander gritted his teeth.

He didn't understand that the defenders of this city were probably not the subordinates of the commander of the Fourth Army. How could he make these people willing to die in return?

Of course he didn't know... The defenders at the top of the city were actually waiting silently, waiting for the appointed time, and then retreating.

As long as they persisted for 30 minutes, they would not be held responsible for deserting before the battle, and Levi would even excuse them - this reason was enough to make these unshakable defenders keep their promise.

Everyone knows that Regulus Harvey has never broken his promise once.

At this moment, Julius in the city finally got some exciting news.

【Report! The main force is ready to attack, please give instructions!】

【very good! The morale of the vanguard should have been severely damaged... It is the right time for the main force to join the battle! 】

He finally breathed a sigh of relief, and Julius's serious expression also softened slightly.

After all, if the Vanguard Army continues to be consumed like this, even if it takes the city, the early losses will make it a joke.

【Then move forward, leaving 3,000 men to guard against a sneak attack, and the rest of the troops will press forward - I want to see the frightened faces of all the defenders on the city!】

————Dividing line————

【General, the opponent's Chinese army has moved. Should we……】

Snow Fox looked at Levi.

If Julius knew the location of the two of them, he would definitely be shocked.

Fearing Levi's sneak attack, Julius marched extremely cautiously, sending out scouts almost every few miles to check for ambushes, which delayed the original rapid march.

However, all of this was indeed part of Levi's plan.

So he didn't move at all. Although he divided his troops and made preparations to leave the city for an ambush, in fact he just led his troops out of the city and circled around before sneaking back to the vicinity of the city.

In common sense, there is no possibility of a surprise attack around the city, because there is no strategic depth. The surprise attack force will face the siege army the moment it is exposed, and there will be no room to move forward. At the same time, such a surprise attack has no unexpected effect.

However, just because there is no effect, does not mean that it cannot produce effects.

Levi did not answer Xuehu's words, but looked down at his watch.

At 29 minutes, the defenders at the top of the city showed signs of retreating - they were originally fighting against the many. As more and more enemy troops attacked the city, the originally firm morale of the army began to waver, especially It’s the last minute of the appointment

【They are retreating. ]

Almost without looking at the scene at the top of the city, Levi could completely judge how the offensive and defensive battle on the city wall would turn out - the sound of burning kerosene had already sounded in twenty minutes, and the siege troops' The screams also showed that the hot oil tactic had also been used.

The city's defense has reached its final moments.

Levi shook his head and stared at the castle that was about to fall in front of him.

The siege troops cheered and charged forward because of the joy of breaking through the city and the excitement of making a successful first battle. Little did they know that there was a pair of eyes in the darkness, looking at them coldly.

As more and more siege troops boarded the city, the morale of the thousand or so soldiers defending the city finally dropped to the extreme - they did have to defend the city for 30 minutes, but they did not really die defending the city.

No one knows who is the first person to escape, but as long as there is the first person to take the lead, the countless escapees will become a momentum, a collapse momentum.

Anyway - the responsibility rests with Regulus Harvey, one thousand people against twenty thousand. After all, he persisted for 30 minutes, which is already a great achievement worth bragging about.

At this moment, Levi was counting silently, opening the city gate from the city wall, and the rebels slowly entering the city.

【One Centurion... Two Centuries... One Thousand Men……】

【Very good...go on in...and get into the hell that has been prepared for you.……】
