The battlefield situation suddenly changed. The right side of Guanhai Town was already submerged by a sandstorm, and no one knew what was happening inside. All that could be heard was the sound of horses galloping wildly.

On the left side of the town, the arrival of heavily armored soldiers finally changed the guards' expressions; perhaps this was the real killing move the Northern Army had prepared.

As the heavily armed, dark figures charged toward them, the guards on the city wall trembled with fear until their commander's voice brought them back to reality.

"Attack! Don't let them set up their siege ladders!"

"Prepare the oil; archers, wait fifty paces before attacking!"

Faced with a formidable enemy, the defenders of Seaview Town displayed remarkable resilience. Kate, holding binoculars, bit down on her cigar, her expression gradually becoming serious.

As planned, the young lady's attack route created a sandstorm; however, Federico's heavy infantry had been forced back by the sea of ​​fire and were regrouping to launch another feint attack.

"The third echelon will launch a frontal attack to entangle the opponent."

With a calm demeanor, the orders were given, and banners fluttered in the wind. The three thousand new recruits, forming the third echelon, were led by two thousand veterans on the second day and slowly marched out to the battlefield.

The moment the massive force of 5,000 men appeared at the main gate, the hearts of the Guanhai Town garrison finally died.

There's no need to harbor any illusions anymore; the Northern Army truly intends to fight them to the death!

The reinforcements... can only arrive tomorrow afternoon at the earliest.

The war drums beat to the rhythm of life, and the two thousand veterans immediately sped up their run, launching a fierce attack with only two layers of swordsmen and shieldmen for cover.

Both sides launched arrows in succession, and the attack from three sides still affected the defending troops who were outnumbered. Although they had the advantage of terrain, the density of their arrows was far inferior to that of the northern army.

Blood blossoms filled the city, and casualties on both sides soared. Relying on alternating cover of three steps and one shot, the Northern Army quickly reached the city walls and suppressed the defenders on the walls with wave after wave of arrows.

The recruits carrying the ladders were almost unharmed when they completed the construction. The moment the iron hooks caught the wall, both sides changed formations and launched the next phase of the attack and defense.

Once the new recruits had erected the shield wall, the sword and shield soldiers who were to act as defenders immediately rushed forward and quickly climbed up the ladder.

The defenders threw logs and stones, and the battlefield instantly became intense. Arrows shot faster and faster through the air, and the densely packed northern troops below the city continued to attack the city walls under the cover of arrows, disregarding casualties.

Corpses fell to the ground one after another. Behind the shields, the timid recruits looked at the veterans whose eyes were not yet closed. The strong smell of blood filled their nostrils, and a belief called courage rose in their hearts.

From beginning to end, the veterans shouldered the most dangerous tasks, acting more like logistics personnel transporting equipment than combatants...

"They've hit the right side!"

The sharp-eyed archer exclaimed in surprise, and everyone looked in the direction of the sound. On the right side of the city wall of Guanhai City, a figure with long blue hair stood proudly, leading his personal guards in a frenzied attack.

Luna and her personal guards' tactics were much simpler than the guards had anticipated: they would take advantage of the gaps in the enemy's visibility to continuously disrupt their judgment with the sound of horses' hooves.

In reality, they had already dismounted and quickly built a human ladder at the foot of the city wall, just to send the hundred strongest fighters up the wall.

So at this moment, the soldiers and recruits of the Second Regiment stared blankly at the female war goddess on the city wall, all somewhat incredulous.

Her sword light burst forth with countless wind blades, her figure flickering like a ghost. The sword in her hand seemed to be wielded slowly, but in the next instant, as if omitting the killing process, it would stir up countless bloody storms.

Enemy corpses fell one by one. Luna was now in a bloodthirsty frenzy. However, more and more defenders were swarming towards them from both sides.

"Quick! Quick! Charge in and protect the young lady!"

The army attacking from the front suddenly unleashed tremendous fighting power. At this moment, they no longer cared about life or death. The new recruits even threw their shields aside and followed the veterans, climbing upwards like madmen.

It was the young lady who killed the nobles who enslaved them, it was the young lady who distributed land to them, it was the young lady who gave them and their families a full meal!

Without the young lady, they would still be tools for others to make money to this day!

"Protect the young lady! Protect the young lady!"

By the time the defenders of Guanhai City recovered from the shock of the fall of the right side of the city wall, the dozen or so siege ladders on the front were already densely packed with people.

Their eyes burned like raging fire, and in less than half a minute, a bloody battle also broke out on the front wall of the city!

It was too late for the logs and stones to be rolled. When the veterans jumped onto the city wall and killed the besieging defenders with a few strokes of their swords, firmly occupying the exit of the siege ladder, the defenders finally realized why the Northern Army was always said to be the most powerful army in the entire kingdom.

The forging of blood and iron has begun. No one on this battlefield will run away from the fight. Neither side will even parry each other's attacks. Even if they die, they will use steel to pierce through each other's flesh.

The veterans paved the way with their corpses. When the new recruits scaled the city wall and stepped onto the thick layer of corpses, they almost instinctively charged towards the enemy, roaring and thrusting their spears forward.

"The main defense has been breached!"

The guards finally had to retreat. With the battle fought to this extent, they had lived up to the Duke's expectations.

There was nothing they could do; they were inferior to the enemy in both troop strength and combat effectiveness.

"The commander ordered us to abandon the city walls and fight the Northern army to the death inside the city!"

The battle entered the next phase, with the guards retreating rapidly into the city like a tide, seemingly preparing for street fighting.

Panting heavily, Luna had no time to rest. She immediately ordered her soldiers to open the city gates, seize the city walls and gates, and then sent her personal guards on horseback to deliver the message that they had stormed into the city.

Federico, who had burned off half of his eyebrow, felt embarrassed for the first time. Of the three directions of attack, one had failed to advance, and this was still the work of an elite heavy infantryman.

It was humiliating, utterly humiliating. In an attempt to save face, upon learning that the enemy was still putting up a stubborn resistance inside the city, Federico quickly walked up to Luna and knelt down on one knee to pay his respects.

"Young Miss, now let us..."

The conversation abruptly stopped. Seeing the young lady suddenly look away, Federico panicked. Following her gaze, he saw the soldiers of the Second Regiment, who were in reserve, and the seven thousand Imperial Guards who had finally arrived at the battlefield.

Patting Federico on the shoulder, ignoring his heartbroken cries, Luna said with a sigh of relief, "Go and rest, everyone. Commander Kate will take over the next battle."
