On the Seven Towers

When Shi Hao learned that Heimuguan was attacked, he was preparing to attend the life meeting of the third platoon of the new regiment after the original defenders of Heimuguan were reorganized. The composition of the newly joined soldiers is complex, including children from poor farmers or slaves, descendants of nobles, and even royal blood.

Regardless of their origins, some people want to become Chinese, while others stick to their original ideas and do not want to change. How to unite more people, convert more people, and eliminate those who are not suitable to stay in the team is not a problem that can be solved by drawing a line based on composition, but a deep understanding of everyone's ideological dynamics.

Shi Hao and political commissar Liu Xiang discussed several key targets of attention, but they heard explosions and gunshots suddenly coming from the northern city wall. The two hurriedly ran towards the city gate, and after running a few steps, they saw the guards of the first battalion. Platoon leader Cheng Jing rushed over and said, "Report to the regiment leader that the gate of the city wall north of Heimuguan was attacked by unknown enemies."

"What?" Shi Hao froze and immediately stopped, "What's the situation now?"

Cheng Jing said: "The enemy used a method to cover the battlefield to block sound and light, and then made a sneak attack to seize control of the gate. The soldiers guarding the gate may...may have all been sacrificed. Some of our soldiers issued a warning before they died. Warning. Now the other two companies of our first battalion are trying to counterattack to seize the door. However, the enemy is very powerful and uses magic to block our attack. They also use magic and a magic item similar to a grenade to fight back. We have suffered a great loss.

When the company commander sent me to report just now, they made little progress. On my way here, Battalion Commander Huang's independent battalion had already dispatched support. "

Shi Hao asked: "Who are the enemies and how many are there?"

Cheng Jing said: "There shouldn't be many, they are all in the doorway. Our battalion commander guesses that the Imperial people have sneaked in and want to open the city gate! They are all masters, and one of them may be a great magician. We are in urgent need of support!"

"The people from the second battalion should be on the city wall now, responsible for guarding." Liu Xiang reminded.

"The people in the second battalion cannot move. Since the enemy is coming to grab the door, there must be troops outside the door to respond. Our real enemy must be outside the city wall." Shi Hao said.

Liu Xiang said: "Xiao Chen and the others didn't notice?"

"You can't blame Xiao Chen. There are mountains and forests on both sides here. It's not difficult to hide thousands of people." Shi Hao thought for a while and ordered, "Old Liu, you'd better go to the new corps and mobilize the original Olgas Among the people under your command, there are ten high-level warriors and mages in the new regiment, plus more than forty mid-level ones. You must use their strength to mobilize the first to third battalions of the new regiment to the city wall, and coordinate with the second regiment and the second regiment. To defend the city wall, let our third battalion lead the fourth to sixth battalions of the new corps to build fortifications on the three main roads around the city gate and prepare for defense. Come out and support the first battalion to seize the city gate, while the rest are on standby to support other teams at any time."

"Yes. I'll go now." Liu Xiang turned around and ran towards the new corps.

Shi Hao then said to Platoon Leader Cheng: "Xiao Cheng, I'm going to the city gate now. You go to the regiment headquarters and ask them to activate the communication array and teleportation array connecting Suero. Then summon the guard squad and all the consultant experts and ask them to Come to the city gate for support as quickly as possible!”

"yes!"

——————————————

Before Shi Hao could reach the city gate, he heard various sounds coming one after another, including the crackle of a large number of air rifles, the muffled sound of pneumatic cannons on the city wall, the explosion of shells falling outside the city, and various strange sounds inspired by magic. There were also the roars and screams of the soldiers. These sounds showed that the battle was already very intense and made him anxious.

When he ran around the last corner, he saw large burn marks, and there were many charred corpses and ashes on the ground. There were air pistols and wands that were burned out of shape, indicating that an entire class of mages died here.

These promising compatriots seemed to have died before they had time to resist, and inexplicably turned into a handful of fly ash. Shi Hao's breathing suddenly became heavy, and he felt that his heart was bleeding!

However, when he turned the corner, the sight in front of him made his eyes even split open. There were thirty or forty corpses from the city gate to the main road. Some died in some kind of explosion like the previous mage class, and others also died under various magics. These people should be the soldiers of the first battalion who participated in the battle to retake the city gate. The commander of the first battalion obviously made a mistake. , without recognizing the opponent's strength, he rushed them forward to fight, causing huge sacrifices to his own side.

Huang Zheng's team has arrived. With the support of the mage squad, they set up a hemispherical shield to block the side of the team facing the door opening. A large number of soldiers poured bullets into the door opening through the shield, and Seven or eight mortars were bombarding the cave entrance. There seemed to be only one person on the opposite side. He held up a shield with one hand in front of him, which blocked the bullets and shells coming from here. At the same time, there are several attack points around him that are releasing elemental magic. This is exactly the use of the magician's distraction method. Fireballs, icicles or lightning are cast by him one after another, falling like a heavy rain on the independent person. The shield on the battalion's side was beaten until the shield was crumbling.

This is a true master. He casts spells alone like four or five elemental mages fighting at the same time.

Shi Hao ran to Huang Zheng who was directing the battle. He was casting scatter rays on the shield on the opposite side, but the opponent's shield casting method was also very superb. Not only could he resist his scatter rays, but he could also remain motionless under so many bullets.

"What's the situation?" Shi Hao asked.

"This is a great magician. I plus a magician squad are no match for him. Now my other two companies are on the way. They will bring mortar shield-breaking shells. When the time comes, I will make this guy look good!" Huang Zheng spoke very quickly, "But the problem is that he has a group of accomplices who are building a bridge on the other side of the doorway. The gate has been opened long ago. They have lifted the iron bridge out before. I used the soul bridge to connect to the squad leader of the magician squad of the second battalion on the city head. He has been reporting the situation outside. The situation is not good."

"Connect me to the soul link too." Shi Hao said.

Huang Zheng cast a soul bridge and dragged him into the communication between himself and the second battalion.

"Is the second battalion commander here? I'm Shi Hao. What's the situation outside the city now?"

"Report to the regiment commander! Just now, many enemies rushed out of the woods two kilometers away and began to gather, and then moved towards us. We used artillery fire on the top of the city to attack, but these people were standing very sparsely, and they were all masters who could protect themselves with shields and fighting spirit. The effect of our attack was very poor. Now, the magicians among them began to take off, and I'm afraid they will suppress us soon. The soldiers are also preparing, and they are expected to charge us soon!" The second battalion commander reported.

"Activate the artillery shells on the magic circle, throw them down, and quickly blow up the bridge!" Shi Hao roared.
