The second day of the offensive and defensive battle of Avalon fortress ended like the first day.

The achievements of the Hiram army have still not made any substantive progress.

On the third day, the hillocks of the Hiram army were finally stacked and the tunnel was finally dug.

After learning that both mounds and tunnels could be put into battle, Dominica immediately ordered the use of mounds and tunnels.

The cavalry of Michael had already taken precautions against the tunnels of the Hiram army.

The order of Michael had already placed a bowl of water at intervals on the ground near the outer wall.

Several soldiers are set near each bowl of water to observe the bowl of water in shifts.

If this bowl of water has a face, it means that there is a vibration underground.

Thus, the position of the enemy tunnel can be quickly determined and intercepted.

If the foundation of a hostile city can be excavated, you can dig a channel to attack, which is also a common tactic in the siege of this era.

The siege party using tunnel warfare will dig one or even several tunnels and constantly support the ground with wood in the process of moving forward.

Destroy the city wall by digging a tunnel, or pass under the foundation of the city wall, and open an entrance in the city so that the troops outside the city can slip into the city.

Although tunnel warfare is a common means of siege, there are also countermeasures against it. With continuous improvement, the Countermeasures of tunnel warfare are still very developed.

At the beginning of the offensive and defensive war, Su Cheng transferred 3000 soldiers to Deng Jia'er and entrusted Deng Jia'er with the task of counteracting the tunnels of the Helan army.

After the soldiers in charge of observing the water bowl found the ripples in the water, they immediately informed Deng Jiaer, who was responsible for dealing with the Hiran army tunnel.

Deng Jiaer quickly judged the general position of each tunnel of the Helan army according to the different ripple sizes of each water bowl.

After judging the general position of each tunnel through the water bowl, Deng Jiaer led her soldiers to quickly launch a counter attack and block the tunnel of the Hiran army.

There is a deep trench dug at the foot of the outer wall of Avalon fortress. This trench is specially used to deal with the enemy tunnel. As long as the tunnel of the Hiran army is found, the straw sprinkled with various inflammables will be thrown into the tunnel, and the Hiran army will be forced back by fire and smoke.

For a time, the tunnel screamed, and the smell of charred skin and meat spread from the tunnel.

Compared with siege towers, vehicles and other siege equipment, it is really easy to deal with the tunnel. As long as we can determine the general location of the enemy tunnel, dig the trench deep enough, and prepare more combustibles that can burn gas and smoke, even if millions of troops attack, they can block them in the tunnel and can't climb out.

Many hiraan soldiers could not retreat in the tunnel, choked by the thick smoke, and then could not get up again.

The Hiram soldiers who were not choked to death by the thick smoke began to retreat hurriedly.

In the hurried retreat, it caused self trampling, resulting in many casualties.

"Retreat! Give up the tunnel! "

The general of Hiram army, who was in charge of commanding the tunnel battle, saw that the Michael knights were already ready for their tunnel, but he could only sigh and ordered to retreat and give up the tunnel.

Compared with the tunnels, the dozens of mounds built by the Hiram army have played a lot of roles.

It took more than two days to mobilize tens of thousands of soldiers, and finally succeeded in building dozens of high mounds under the outer wall of Avalon fortress.

These dozens of high mounds are 2 meters higher than the inner wall of Avalon fortress opposite.

On each mound, there is also a bunker to protect the bow and crossbow men.

Each mound can accommodate about 40 crossbow men to stand on it and shoot down at the outer wall of Avalon fortress to cover the comrades in arms attacking the city under their feet.

The Hiram Archer standing on the mound threw arrows like a rainstorm at the outer wall of Avalon fortress.

The sound of armor and flesh shot through the soldiers of the Michael knights, and the howl of the soldiers of the Michael Knights came one after another.

The battlements of the outer wall lost their role as a shelter because the Helan army's bowmen standing on the mound stood high.

This caused many casualties to the defenders on the outer city wall.

The commanders of each section of the city wall immediately commanded the crossbow men on their side to fight back and shoot back with their heads on their backs.

However, because there are bunkers on each mound, the counterattack effect of the archers of the Michael knights is not ideal.

With the participation of these mounds, the battle on the city wall became more intense and bloody.

……

……

Whoosh!

A streamer fell from the sky and hit darina's shoulder armor.

"Well..."

After a painful hum, Da Liana raised her hand and pulled out the arrow that hit her left shoulder armor.

Fortunately, the arrow only hit her armor. Under the protection of armor, the arrow only scratched her flesh and didn't hurt her much.

"Really... What are the crossbow soldiers doing on the inner city wall..."

Darlene complained bitterly as she threw the arrow that had just hit her to the ground.

"Don't hurry up and shoot down those enemy soldiers on the mound."

These dozens of high mounds have brought great trouble to the defenders of the outer wall.

The Helan bow and crossbow men standing on these dozens of mounds lost the protection of the battlements and were shot miserably because they were shooting down.

Darlene, they had to raise their shields to guard against the enemy infantry in front of them, as well as the dense rain of arrows falling from their heads from time to time.

Seeing that the bowmen on the safe inner city wall were unable to solve the enemy soldiers on the mound, Darlene couldn't help getting angry and scolding them for their inaction.

But Darlene misunderstood the archers on the inner city wall this time.

After the archers of the Hiram army climbed up the mounds, the comrades in arms on the inner city wall immediately began to fight back.

Only because these mounds are higher than the inner city wall and protected by bunkers, because the counterattack effect of the inner city wall is not ideal.

At the moment when Darlene pulled out the arrow on her shoulder and she was distracted, a Helan soldier not far from her saw the opportunity, raised his axe and rushed at Darlene.

Judging from the armor on the Hiram soldier, it seems that he is not an ordinary soldier.

Darlene feels like she's in a wonderful state.

After two days of fighting, Darlene felt her body more and more relaxed.

The originally stiff limbs became more and more flexible.

Even the vision has a suddenly open feeling.

Dalina, who became more sensitive, quickly sensed the enemy soldier.

A shield blocked the enemy soldier's attack.

At the moment of blocking his attack, Darlene immediately slid towards the Hiran soldier like a fish.

Darlene's head was close to the body of the Hiran soldier, passing through his right armpit.

When passing under the right armpit of the hiraan soldier, Darlene's sword also crossed the hiraan soldier's side with her body.

The sharp body of the sword crossed the abdomen of the Hiran soldier from the guard to the tip of the sword and cut the Hiran soldier in the waist.
