The battle on the second day of the offensive and defensive battle of the Avalon Fortress ended like on the first day, in the tug-of-war between the two armies.

The Sheeran Army's results have not yet made any substantial progress.

On the 3rd day, the mounds of the Sheeran Army were finally piled up and the tunnels were finally dug.

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

Regarding the authenticity of the Sheeran army, the Knights of Michael had already taken precautions.

The Knights of Michael had already placed a bowl of water on the ground near the outer city wall at any distance.

Several soldiers were set up near each bowl of water to watch the bowl of water in shifts.

If this bowl of water has a facial expression, it means there is a vibration underground.

This allows you to quickly determine the location of the enemy's tunnel and quickly intercept it.

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

The siege party that uses tunnel battles will dig one or even several tunnels, and will constantly use wood to support the ground while moving forward.

Destroy the city wall by digging tunnels, or pass through the foundation of the city wall, and open an entrance inside the city so that the troops outside the city can slip into the city.

Although tunnel warfare is a common method for 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 3,000 soldiers to Deng Jiaer and handed over the task of countering the authentic Sheeran army to Deng Jiaer.

After the soldiers in charge of observing the water bowl found ripples in the water, the soldiers immediately informed the news to Deng Jiaer, who was responsible for dealing with the authentic Sheeran army.

Deng Jiaer quickly judged the general location of the various tunnels of the Sheeran Army based on the different sizes of the ripples of each water bowl.

After judging the general location of each tunnel through the water bowl, Deng Jiaer led her soldiers to quickly launch a counterattack and intercept the tunnel of the Shelan army.

There was a deep trench dug at the foot of the outer wall of the Avalon Fortress. This trench was specially used to deal with the enemy tunnels. As long as the tunnels of the Sheeran army were discovered, the straw and other objects sprinkled with various flammable materials were thrown into the tunnels, and the Sheeran army was forced to retreat with fire and smoke.

For a moment, screams were heard from the tunnel, and the smell of burning flesh spread out from the tunnel.

Compared with siege towers, siege vehicles and other siege equipment, it is really easy to deal with the tunnel. As long as you can determine the general location of the enemy tunnel, dig the trench deep enough, and prepare more flammable materials that can ignite gas and smoke. Even if a million troops attack, they can block them tightly in the tunnel and cannot even crawl out.

Many Sheeran soldiers were unable to retreat in the tunnel and were choked by the thick smoke, and could no longer get up.

The Sheeran soldiers, who were not choked to death by the thick smoke, began to retreat in a hurry.

When retreating in a hurry, it caused a self-stomp and caused a lot of casualties.

"Retreat! Give up the authenticity!"

The general of the Sheeran army, who was in charge of the tunnel war, saw that the Knights of Michael had already prepared for their tunnels, had no choice but to sigh and order to retreat and give up the tunnels.

Compared to authenticity, the dozens of mounds built by the Sheeran Army played a lot of roles.

It took more than two days to mobilize tens of thousands of soldiers and finally successfully built dozens of tall mounds under the outer wall of the Avalon Fortress.

These dozens of tall mounds are 2 meters higher than the inner wall of the Avalon Fortress opposite.

On each mound, there are also bunkers to defend the crossbowmen.

Each mound can accommodate about forty crossbowmen standing on it, shooting down the outer wall of the Avalon Fortress to cover the comrades who were sieging the city under his feet.

The Sheeran crossbowmen standing on the mound shot rain-like arrows at the outer wall of the Avalon Fortress.

The armor and flesh of the soldiers who shot through the Michael Knights, and the howlings of the soldiers of the Michael Knights came one after another.

Because the crossbowmen of the Sheeran army stood on the mound, the battlements on the outer wall lost their role as a cover.

This caused considerable casualties to the defenders on the outer city walls.

The commanders of each section of the city wall immediately commanded the crossbowmen on their side to fight back, raising their heads and shooting.

However, because there is a bunker on each mound, the counterattack effect of the crossbowmen of the Knights of Michael is not ideal.

With these mounds participating in the battle, the battle on the city wall became even more intense and bloody.

...

...

Whoosh!

A stream of arrow fell from the sky and hit Darlena's shoulder armor.

“Um…”

After Darlena snorted in pain, she raised her hand and pulled down the arrow that shot her left shoulder armor.

Fortunately, this arrow only shot into her armor. Under the protection of the armor, this arrow only wiped her flesh and did not cause her much damage.

"Really...what are the crossbowmen on the inner wall doing..."

Darlena complained with dissatisfaction while throwing the arrow that had just shot her to the ground.

"Why don't you shoot all the enemy soldiers on the mound down me."

These dozens of tall mounds brought considerable trouble to the defenders on the outer city walls.

The Sheeran crossbowmen standing on these dozens of mounds, because they were shooting down, the defenders on the outer city wall lost the protection of the battlements and were shot miserably.

Darlena and the others had to raise their shields high, and while guarding against the enemy infantry in front of them, they also had to guard against the dense rain of arrows that fell from their heads from time to time.

Seeing that the crossbowmen who were staying on the safe inner city wall were unable to solve the enemy soldiers on the mound, Darlena couldn't help but get angry and secretly scolded them for their inaction.

However, Darlena misunderstood the crossbowmen on the inner wall this time.

After the crossbowmen of the Sheeran army climbed up the mounds, the comrades on the inner city wall immediately began to fight back.

However, because these earth cups are taller than the inner city wall and are protected by bunkers, the counterattack effect on the inner city wall is not ideal.

At the moment when Darlena pulled out the arrow on her shoulder, a Sheeran soldier located not far from her seized the opportunity, raised the battle axe in her hand and rushed towards Darlena.

Judging from the armor on this Sheeran soldier, he seems not an ordinary soldier.

Darlena felt that her current state was very strange.

After 2 days of fighting, Darlena felt her body getting easier.

The originally stiff limbs became more and more flexible.

Even the vision is a sudden feeling.

Darlena, whose reaction became more sensitive, quickly sensed the enemy soldier.

A shield blocked the enemy soldier's attack.

The next moment blocking his attack, Darlena immediately slid towards the Sheeran soldier like a fish.

Darlena's head was almost against the body of the Sheeran soldier, passing through his right armpit.

As he passed through the right armpit of the Sheeran soldier, Darlena's sword also followed her body and passed through the side of the Sheeran soldier.
