But of course, the sacrifices of the Slavi Berserkers were not meaningless. otbnkotgt But that's where it ends.
The artillery in each fort began to load shotgun shells, and at the same time, more wooden-handled grenades were dropped from the sky above the fortress.
Explosions rang out one after another in the Slavi army.
The casualties of the Slavi army rose sharply, and their morale also plummeted.
The Slavi soldiers immediately patrolled, and some did not dare to move forward.
"Move forward, otherwise military law will be ruthless.
Do you want your family members to die with you?"
The Slavi officers shouted angrily, motivating the soldiers to continue charging forward.
Inspire, intimidate, promise money.
Under these tricks, the Slavi soldiers once again plucked up their courage and reached the distance of twenty meters almost in a rush.
After that, a large number of ladders were erected under the fortress wall.
The Slavi soldiers began to attack.
Under such a general siege, the fortress defenders naturally could no longer concentrate their firepower to attack the Slavi soldiers at a certain point.
At the same time, the Mystian soldiers and officers guarding the city became more or less nervous.
And their orders have become different.
"Keep throwing grenades" "Quick, load the ammunition and prepare to shoot" "Prepare for hand-to-hand combat, bayonet on" "The melee soldiers come forward, and the spearmen draw their swords."
The latter two orders correspond to the Circassian New Army and ordinary mercenaries respectively.
The former's basic equipment is about 1.5 meters long, with a bayonet about two meters long, a bayonet gun similar to a short spear.
The latter's melee soldiers mostly used spears when fighting in the wild.
However, at the same time, spearmen and musketeers were also equipped with long swords to facilitate combat at close range.
"Really" looked around at the different orders from the commanders responsible for each section of the protective wall.
William couldn't help but frowned, but then his brows relaxed.
Originally, he thought that the low-level officer who ordered to continue throwing grenades was correct.
But he soon understood that the low-level officers who were preparing for hand-to-hand combat could not make mistakes because for a war involving 200,000 people, no matter how much supplies, ammunition and food were stored, it would not be enough.
Simple and practical weapons like grenades will definitely not be used enough in the coming war.
Therefore, when this kind of battle is not too urgent, using grenades as little as possible is also a choice that cannot be miscalculated.
Of course, the premise is that these officers really think so and don't give orders randomly because of panic.
"After this battle, officers at all levels need to be reminded to use grenades properly."
William thought in his heart.
At the same time, watching the Slavi soldiers continue to climb up, beside William, Shalomi also clenched her sword nervously.
"William, should we move back a little bit?"
Charlotte asked.
"No need."
William replied.
"As a commander, no matter how stupid you are, you can't push back in this situation."
"Yeah."
Hearing what William said, Charlotte felt a little embarrassed and a little angry at the same time.
That is to say, while they were talking, the explosion sound decreased slightly, and some of the officers who chose to use grenades survived this round of attack.
The few soldiers equipped with flintlock muskets also blasted the opponent down with a volley.
However, in more places, the Slavi soldiers still rushed forward.
"Strike downwards and kill them."
Where the Circassian New Army was stationed, the approach of the New Army soldiers holding bayonets was very simple.
As soon as the Slavi soldiers showed up, they would stab their heads with bayonets.
Even if you can't stab the opponent to death, you still have to cause enough damage to the opponent.
It's best to stab them down.

In areas where other mercenaries are stationed, it's basically the same routine.
The only difference is that it changed from a bayonet to a sword.
The former's attacks are more severe and difficult to defend against.
Because the force exerted by both hands is stronger than that of one hand.
Faster.
At the same time, the bayonet is narrower than a traditional long sword, which also means it is more difficult to block.
Therefore, everywhere where the Circassian New Army was stationed, most of the soldiers completed the assassination action, and a large number of Slavi soldiers with bayonets in their faces fell down screaming.
But that's not always the case.
There will always be some stronger, more cunning, quicker Slavs who evade the thrust of the new Circassian army, then leap up, tumble over the wall, tackle their opponents to the ground, and use The sword, scimitar or battle ax in his hand would kill him.
After that, these elite warriors will face two different fates.
If they have a good enough and rich enough master, or have enough money themselves to equip themselves with a fine iron scale armor, then how much can they do?
Escape the next, the rest, the collective attack of the surrounding Circassian new army.
And if not, then their end will be more miserable.
They will be pierced by several bayonets or long swords.
Then he was kicked off the wall like a broken bag.
Of course, even if it is the former, it does not matter if it is an elite Slavi warrior covered in heavy scale armor like the former.
William had already organized more than 20 troops of five to eight, with knights and even grand knight levels of combat strength. of small troops.
They patrol all over the protective wall, and whenever they find such a super-sized enemy, they will pounce on it immediately.
He concentrated his strength without mercy or any sense of honor and brutally killed him.
This ensured the order of the city defense battle.
At the same time, the concave design of the fortress also came into play.
On both sides of the protruding turret are light artillery aimed at the interior of the concave surface, which is the large section of the wall where the Slavis concentrated their attacks, as well as twelve-barreled organ cannon.
These specialized anti-infantry weapons would deliver unbearable crossfire of dense pellets and continuous fire of large buckshot at the siege Slavis.
These projectiles fired from the left and right sides at the same time, each time the concentrated firepower was released, it would destroy a large number of Slavis.
"Yes, today is better than yesterday.
But this is meaningless."
Seeing the Slavis dying horribly under the city, ravaged by artillery fire and various gunpowder weapons, and the few who rushed to the top of the city, The Slavi warriors were immediately tortured and killed.
William commented in his heart that except for a few sections of the protective wall that were in danger due to the lack of strength of the mercenaries, the rhythm and outcome of today's battle were still within William's control.
The very few sections of the wall that were in danger were quickly sealed with the support of a large number of reinforcement reserves.
The little bit of space they managed to occupy at the top of the city was quickly taken back by the Mystian army.
That's it.
In just two hours of siege, the first wave of Slavi Berserkers were almost wiped out.
The second wave of Slavi Troops lost more than 30% of their troops.
Then retreated.
Then, under the threat of nomadic cavalry and centaur warriors, the second team of Slavians who entered the battlefield fearfully lost more than 20% of their troops due to hesitation.
After this, the Tartariya army, Kublai Lai and Salida Khan finally gave up their plans to attack again.
The horn sounded again, and the Slavians who were patrolling in front of the fortress of the Mystian army finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Turning around, they quickly left this terrifying fortress that frightened them.
"Victory again."
William looked at the despondent retreating Slavis and thought in his heart.
It seemed that these Slavis were not too powerful.
It seems that the Tartarian army is not difficult to resist.
In today's battle, the Slavis paid nearly 10,000 casualties.
The average casualties for two 10,000-man troops were over 30%.
In the next long period of time, these two ten thousand troops may not be able to go to the battlefield again.

If we assume that 10,000 troops are killed or injured every day, then Tartariya's 200,000 troops can be completely wiped out in less than a month.
This may sound ridiculous.
But in fact it is really like this.
But of course, even if Sarida Khan is really crazy, the other nobles in Tartaria will stop him from doing such a thing.
This made William even more optimistic about his future: "Perhaps in a few days, Salida Khan will withdraw because he cannot withstand such high casualties and the logistical pressure of maintaining such a large army.
The feat of blocking the enemy of mankind and killing several The merits of the tens of thousands of Tartarian troops are enough to make me a worthy hero of mankind, even a savior," William thought in his heart.
That is to say, while he was thinking this in his heart and full of beautiful longings for the future, the Tartarian army was filled with misery.
Two consecutive days of defeat and the deaths of more than 15,000 Slavi soldiers demoralized the Tartarian troops participating in this battle.
Although most of those killed and injured before were third-class people and inferior Slavi soldiers.
But it still made the nomads and centaurs of Tartaria feel sad.
In Salida Khan's golden tent, the Slavi, nomadic and centaur nobles gathered here all kept their mouths shut and said nothing.
In fact, they couldn't say anything.
As the Bayou Fortress is so difficult to chew, and there are no oily bones, no one likes to attack it.
Moreover, this time the troops were sent to recapture Ruthenia and Perm.
At the same time, enough pressure was put on Holmgard and Novgorod.
Under such circumstances, many nobles felt that the purpose of this war had been achieved.
This war lasted for more than two years.
Leaving the Tartarians physically and mentally exhausted.
It's time to end. 160420oshow7:
