Chapter 1019, Bloody Battle at the Golden Gate

The city wall of Constantinier is tall and very defensive. Since Fulgan became the master here, he has been ordering to strengthen the city wall, and he has also received the help of the Lizardmen. The city wall is very strong and has a lot of fortifications, including Double walls and a large number of artillery crenels, including many windows and a moat that can be used for design.

Now, this place has become the main attack target of the army besieging the city. Chaos, dark elves, ratmen, and undead pirates took turns to launch extremely violent attacks towards the Golden Gate.

The former Imperial General Weidenfeller and former Kislev Marshal Yegorov were responsible for the defense of the Golden Gate. These two generals had been arguing over and over for a long time whether they should give priority to fighting outside the city, but here At this moment, they are firmly united.

Standing at the forefront are soldiers from Kislev and the Empire. They are brave and tenacious. The artillerymen, musketeers, and crossbowmen poured out dense artillery fire and barrage on the city wall. Now they have to face Those are the Chaos armies of Vashnar the Destroyer.

The first wave rushed up were the barbarian warriors from the north, barbarian warriors, and chaos warriors. These crazy and brutal warriors were tired of endless marches. They rushed to the bottom of the city, using brass claws and siege ladders to climb up city ​​walls.

In the face of these enemies who lack sufficient siege weapons, the defenders seem to be able to do a job with ease. General Weidenfeller strode back and forth on the city wall wearing a full-body plate armor. He shouted and reprimanded the soldiers to make them move faster. , Dozens of great swordsmen moved together, and they swung their great swords one after another, cutting all the enemies who climbed the tower into two pieces.

The closest distance between the two armies was only 300 meters, and both sides could clearly hear the sounds from the opposite side, that was the sound of metal collisions, the neighing of war horses, the chaotic army's prayers before charging and the roar of artillery.

General Weidenfeller led dozens of great swordsmen to fight the fire, one after another the Chaos Warriors climbed onto the city wall, and the rows of Halberdiers and Sword and Shield Soldiers were powerless against the heavy armor of the Chaos Warriors. Only the great sword of the great swordsman can penetrate the armor. The musketeers on the crenels are constantly firing bullets, and the artillery fires one after another.

At the same time, the Skaven artillery position occupying the Arrowhead Bastion outside the city also began a fierce attack. The plague catapults and dimensional lightning bombarded the city wall. Battlements and several soldiers, while more soldiers are united and ready to deal with powerful enemies.

General Weidenfeller didn't know how many enemies there were outside the city. He could only see black armies one after another. The purple, cyan, and black ones were either dark elves or chaotic armies. The green tsunami as magnificent as the ocean was Scar The Ratmen's army, finally, appeared continuously from the north, attacking both land and water, obviously Luthor Harken and his army of undead pirates.

General Weidenfeller, as a Reikland nobleman, he has never encountered so many enemies, so powerful, and so numerous. The most enemies he faced in the empire were beasts in the Reikwald Forest Human tribes and some scattered Goblins and Orcs, plus some bandits and Chaos cultists, only once in his life went north to the Nordland to fight the northern barbarians, and because of the successful ambush plus Karl The emperor personally led the battle and the battle went smoothly. General Weidenfeller had always thought that mortals could rely on steel, gunpowder, and faith to solve problems.

until today.

Weidenfeller had to admit that he was afraid, he was afraid, and he flinched. Facing the terrifying scene in front of him, the imperial general couldn't help but tremble, and he almost couldn't hold his sword.

If it weren't for the fact that there was no way out, Weidenfeller really wanted to escape.

The fear of the former imperial general almost weakened the defense system until the leader of the Fulgrim Army came to the city wall in person. The appearance of the leader made the soldiers burst out with endless courage and confidence. Especially Fulgrim, the Primarch really showed his strength. He pulled out the Spear of Sotek, and the power of lightning and storm penetrated the 200-meter-long line in an instant, and then blasted a diameter in the chaos army formation. The 35-meter-long crater killed nearly 500 people in one blow!

Vashnar's Worldbreaker's army was temporarily driven back, although the defenses were crumbling.

However, Fulgrim couldn't stay too long on the western city wall, so he immediately led his men to the southern city wall, where all kinds of equipment and giant beasts of the Skaven army launched a fierce attack on the garrisoned Kislev army. The Skaven were so numerous that in the first hour thousands of slaverats and hundreds of clanrats fell beneath the city walls, musketeers burning their gun barrels, and crossbowmen's quiveres Constantly being emptied and filled, wave after wave of warp stone barrage bombing not only destroyed the morale of the defenders, but also destroyed their lives and spirits.

Fogan immediately ordered the master engineer Jerrick to lead the dwarven artillery regiment to dispatch enough firepower to confront the Skaven artillery. Cannons, mortars, and trebuchets fired at the same time, and the iron dragon hand cannons on the city wall spit out A long fire dragon, each flame can engulf dozens of slave rats, the stench of barbecue and the sound of boiling oil continue to sound, each shot of the enhanced shotgun can make dozens of slave rats fall The city wall detonated a burst of fierce cheers.

However, it doesn't help. God knows how many slave ratmen under Lord Skeuk. During the nearly two-hour battle, the slave rats continued to attack the city wall. The professional soldiers can still persist, and the conscripts are already tired and afraid. Fu Root's appearance was very timely. The Primarch immediately ordered to rotate part of the army, and at the same time personally manipulated the dwarven heavy cannon. In everyone's eyes, the cannon manipulated by Fulgrim hit all three shots, directly destroying two warpstone lightning cannons and one The plague trebuchet detonated the cheers on the city wall and caused the Skaven to be completely defeated. The offensive must be resumed. Lord Skuk ordered the attack to be temporarily stopped in displeasure.

But before Fulgen had time to rearrange the battle sequence, news of the crisis came from the North Wall again!

Undead Pirate King Luthor Harken's army has reached the North Wall! The undead battleships sailing on the dry land launched the most violent artillery bombardment on the north wall!

Three Queen Bess cannons and hundreds of cannons, large and small, were specially transported by Luther Harken to fire at the same time!

"Boom! Boom, boom, boom!"

Accompanied by deafening bangs, shells roared towards the walls of Constantiniya!

The city wall was smashed by the shells of the Queen Bess Cannon! The sound of the explosion and the collapse of the city wall made the ground tremble, and some of the weak city walls were smashed down on the spot. The gunfire and splashed iron fragments of the undead pirates penetrated the flesh and armor of the defenders on the city wall, and their lives were like Harvested like straw.

Constantinier was crumbling under the artillery fire. The buildings in the city caught fire and collapsed under the siege on three sides and under the artillery fire. People fled in fright and collapsed.

The tide-like army of undead pirates immediately poured into the city along several collapsed walls!

Seeing the scene in front of him, Fulgan's heart almost shrank into a ball. He was worried whether the north city wall would be breached, so he immediately led his people towards the north wall!

However, at this time the hero stood up, and the commander of the Chasseurs who was waiting in the city, his brother-in-law Julius raised his lance: "Soldiers! Why are we fighting?"

"Fight to protect our homeland!"

"Soldiers, what are we fighting for?"

"Fight for our glory!"

"Soldiers, let us show our determination to the evil together, and it is today to be generous and righteous!" Julius pointed his spear at the undead pirates who rushed in from the gap in the city wall: "When the mission calls us, hunt Where are the cavalry?"

"The Chasseurs are here!"

"The Chasseurs are here!"

"Defend honor, defend justice, for ladies and virtue, for, Legion of Ashes!"

The chasseurs rushed out of the city, forming several steel torrents rolling along the street, with spears like forests and scimitars like rain. Under the command of Julius, the chasseurs were divided into three groups, and the soldiers who had just rushed into the city were divided into three groups. Almost instantly, these undead pirates controlled by instinct and Luthor Harken turned into bones and debris flying in the sky under the iron hooves of the chasseurs .

Julius charged forward himself, and Ryan's uncle had never been so angry. His spear pierced through several undead pirates and deck gunners, and finally broke after penetrating a dead monster. The commander of the Chasseurs immediately pulled out The Excalibur on his waist——The knight will not die by beheading the monster on the spot with his bare hands.

In the vast sea of ​​undead, under the protection of dozens of deep sea guards, a commander of undead pirates is directing the follow-up troops to continue the attack. The cavalryman's chest and head blasted blood holes, and then took out the scimitar, sparks flashed, a dragoon's breastplate was cut off on the spot, and he was chopped off the horse, and then a group of chasseurs were blown to pieces with a simple little spell. This group of chasseurs was soon overwhelmed by the undead.

Seeing this scene, Julius rushed straight towards the undead pirate commander. The undead pirate commander foolishly thought that his scimitar could withstand the knight's long sword, but the divine power of the fairy in the lake was the nemesis of the undead. Lius held the knight's sword high in the air, and the light of the moon and the power of the sun that belonged to the goddess erupted from the blade, and all the vision of the undead was swallowed by the dazzling light.

So bright, so dazzling!

This is its last consciousness.

The commander of the Chasseurs cut the commander in two with one sword. The divine power on the sword evaporated the bones. He swung his long sword and continued to attack. Julius knew that the cavalry could not stop.

The undead pirates that rushed into the city were all wiped out, even those who slipped through the net were wiped out immediately, Julius even rushed out of the city all the way, Vaishna World Destroyer immediately ordered the two legions of dark elves Cold One The Dread Knights attacked together, and the cavalry brigades of both sides retreated after a tentative confrontation. The Cold One Dread Knights suffered a lot of losses, but the Chasseurs also suffered heavy casualties.

Julius' prowess impressed the Chaos army.

The north wall was held, and the defenders immediately repaired the city wall and strengthened the defense. The wizards chanted spells and tore apart the scrolls, and a new solid wall rose on the ground. It was not as strong as the previous ones, but it was enough for the time being.

At the same time, the Saint Sophia and other Ash Legion battleships moored in the pier also fired artillery to fight back. The cunning Luther Harken saw Fulgrim appearing on the north wall and immediately realized that he could not rely on his own strength to defeat such a terrible battle. The enemy decided to retreat.

As Luther Harken's flagship was hit by the obsidian cannon of the St. Sophia and the billowing smoke exploded, the defenders in the city suddenly shouted excitedly. Confidence in victory, in an instant, glory, courage, and faith seem to have overwhelmed the besieged enemy.

But soon, the defenders in the city found that they could rest for less than 20 minutes, and the three-way army made a comeback.

In this way, after several hours, the exhausted defenders of Constantiniya found that the enemy was still storming the city wall continuously. Several giant siege towers had been erected on the Golden Gate. Hundreds of barbarian warriors and Chaos The warriors climbed to the top of the city, and they were not slaughtered until Fulgrim came with the Phoenix Guard himself. The siege towers were destroyed one after another, but Fulgrim had no time to consolidate the fruits of victory, so he had to rush to help the southern city wall. The Kaven ratmen have used the corpses of slave rats to pile up siege ladders.

Another few hours of onslaught, the attack of the besieging army continued from morning, until noon, into the evening, and into the night. Even bigger, the dwarves' iron dragon hand cannons were overheated and paralyzed, the barrels of the cannons were burning red, and the musketeers loaded the bullets numbly, and one section after another of the city walls fell into the flames of war.

As dusk fell, the siege of the city continued.

At this moment, the Skaven's tunnel was almost completed, and dozens of dimensional stone bombs were filling the bottom of the city wall.

The huge explosion meant that several gaps in the southern city wall were blown down. Fulgen and Julius' Chasseurs immediately rushed to support the defenders. The fierce hand-to-hand combat made Kesler defending the southern city wall one by one. The husband's army fell among the rubble that was blown down, and the heroic Mrs. Kesler used her body to turn into bricks, stones and mud to block the gap in the city wall.

Former Kislev Marshal Yegorov angrily ordered the army to regroup and launch a counterattack. He continued to patrol the front line to boost morale, bells, horns, explosions, cries, roars, and chants praising the horned rats. The sound of yesyes and the battle cries of the defenders echoed on the battlefield like thunder.

"It's today, soldiers, for Konstantinier! For the Legion Commander and the Legion of Ashes!" Yegorov galloped on the city wall on his horse, and retreated out of panic under his orders. The soldiers gradually regrouped and returned to their posts.

A dimensional stone lightning cannon blasted not far from where the former Kislev Marshal Yegorov was, blowing up three Kislev soldiers to pieces, and several fragments of the shattered breastplate burst out , deeply embedded in Yegorov's head, permanently stopping his voice of command.

Without the commander-in-chief, the defense of the southern city wall instantly fell into chaos.

At this moment, Typhus, the vanguard of Nurgle and the master of the hive, who was fighting and ambushing outside the city, immediately realized that this was an excellent opportunity! A chance to break through the defenses and dedicate the entire city to Fat Grandpa Nurgle!

Almost without thinking, Typhus asked Mortarion, who was watching the battle further away, to immediately lead the Nurgle demon army and a small team of death shrouds around a detour, and attack the city from the south wall.

However, this request was flatly rejected by Mortarion.

"It's not the right time, and you have no right to order me, Typhus!"

So after more than ten minutes, Fulgrim and the Phoenix Guards rushed to slaughter all the Skaven who rushed into the city. Fulgrim raised the spear of Sotek, and the storm of the snake god enveloped the entire battlefield. The Skaven and hundreds of plague monks were reduced to debris in the Zombie Storm, and the rest fled in panic.

The besieging army missed an extremely favorable opportunity to break through the city's defenses.

But the war is still going on.

When the red sun appeared in the east of the city, the evil god of chaos was singing freely. After the rising sun brought poor hope, it was immediately engulfed by dark clouds, and the entire Constantiniya was plunged into a torrential rain, and the bloody battle continued continue.

After a short pause, the World Destroyer army launched a new round of attack towards the Golden Gate.

In the muddy bloody swamp, on top of thousands of corpses, two legions of Chaos Warriors and Chaos Chosen launched a new round of attack!

The battle is getting more and more intense.
