During these busy days, Zhang Ziqiang was summoned by His Majesty Carus once. In addition to telling the relationship between his father-in-law and son-in-law, he also handed him sixteen invisible guards. These sixteen people were all in the early stage of the Golden Pill. Although they were like the four girls of No. 1, Carus still regarded them as treasures, but now Zhang Ziqiang does not value the invisible guards much. If the invisible formation is built by himself, such guards are not so rare, and they naturally cannot have the special encounter of the four invisible guards.

He ordered these sixteen people to protect other families, among which Kalyn was born in the province of Kuras for a long time and was far away from the family, so he got four. As the family mistress, Amilia also got four people, and the rest of the house were divided into two, even Xiaolan, who was imprisoned, was no exception. However, these invisible guards were only protected in secret and were not known to them.

However, I have to admit that although they are both in the early stages of the Golden Pill, they are much more useful than the eight hundred maids. They are able to endure loneliness and are absolutely loyal. Carus uses them as a mobile protective tool to cultivate them, and they are indeed worthy of the name of mobile tools.

Just when Zhang Ziqiang was busy dispatching personnel and resources to govern the three new provinces, Wang **, who was outside Stanlo County, fell into a hard battle!

After several days of dispatching troops to condemn generals, chasing and intercepting them, Baru finally drove the fleeing Berwick army into Stanro County. The kingdom's 100,000-formed gun troops were also dispatched, but Carus was not grand enough. Under such an advantage, he was unwilling to give up his military achievements to Baru.

Although Baru had an experience of a formation gun battle, in the end, the 100,000 formation gun troops were handed over by Carus to commander Karafen, the commander of the Imperial Guard. Karafen was a member of the royal family after all, and he was more trusted by Carus than Baru. Fortunately, Baru had long estimated that he had a good personal relationship with Karafen, so he didn't care about these things and commanded the army to cooperate with him.

The Berwick invasion army is less than 180,000 now. The Kingdom of Al, together with the formation gun troops, has a total of 350,000. Moreover, the commander of the Berwick invasion army, Aaron, was captured alive. The army had no intention of fighting, and all the troops were disbanded. The soldiers could not find their generals, and the generals could not find their soldiers. They fled to Stanlo County City with one mind.

Stanlow County was originally the fief of the Stanlow family, and its county town was already quite large, so it was already very difficult to accommodate Berwick's logistics troops. Now, 80,000 defeated troops were squeezed into it. The entire Stanlow County town was like a canned sardine, densely packed and irritated!

Under this situation, under the command of Karafon and Baru, the 350,000 troops of the Kingdom of Al were besieged Stanro County on the fifth day after the Yanhuang army captured the forty-two counties!

Hearing that the Yanhuang army had seized the forty-two counties of the Kingdom of Berwick and opened the door to Berwick, and received the forced order from Carus, Karafon was also anxious and wanted to pacify Stanro County as soon as possible. After he and Baru surrounded Stanro County, they ordered the troops to forcibly attack the city.

After the defeated 80,000 Berwick soldiers entered Stanlo City, they were re-formed by the logistics garrison left in the county. This garrison could be subject to the heavy burden of Aaronto's logistics and commanded 100,000 soldiers. Naturally, they were not incompetent. Before the formation gun troops, he led these 100,000 soldiers to fight with the 150,000 kingdom soldiers of Karafon in a very good manner and without any loss.

You should know that the soldiers under Kara are the most elite troops in the Kingdom of Al, and they can't take any advantage by attacking the weak with strong force. You can imagine the command ability of Berwick's guard.

Now the defense is completely defensive. As the Stanlo family's station, it will be no problem to spend half a year on its grain reserves for the army. What's more, in the past few months, the Kingdom of Berwick was also continuously transporting food and other supplies, so he was not afraid of being surrounded - he believed that as long as he guarded for a month or two, reinforcements would be sent in the country!

Baru also surrendered to them, but firstly, the Berwicks had a natural sense of superiority in front of the Ayers. How could they surrender to those whom they used to look down on? Secondly, they didn't believe that Baru had said that the forty-two counties in the eastern part of Berwick were seized and the teleportation array of the Nusen Plateau was controlled in the hands of the Yanhuang Army! In desperation, Baru had to agree to forcibly attack the city.

But in the siege battle, the formation gun troops were ineffective at all. When the attack came from the city, the Burwick soldiers could dodge behind the battlements, and bullets could not penetrate the city walls. Just relying on soldiers to pile up, not to mention that the attacking troops should be three times the strength of the defending troops when siegeing the city. Even if the 180,000 remaining soldiers of Berwick were taken out fairly with the 350,000 soldiers of the Kingdom of Al, as long as the formation gun was not used, the Kingdom of Al would not take advantage! The root cause is nothing else, the individual quality of the Kingdom of Al was far inferior.

After Karafon tried a little, he found that the strong attack could not be done. He ordered the soldiers to retreat temporarily and thought of another way with a frown.

Fortunately, Baru fought a battle with Lanelli and knew that the formation gun troops had to occupy the commanding heights and could have greater power. He came up with a plan and ordered people to build wooden high platforms outside the city. The wooden high platforms were higher than the city walls, surrounding the entire Stanlo County. Fortunately, the people in this world are powerful and convenient to transport. He also gathered the whole country to attack Stanlo City, requiring people and things. The platform was built within three days. From a distance, it looked like Stanlo County built a fortress outside the city!

The 100,000-formed gun troops stood on this high platform, which was less than 150 meters away from the city wall, and 250,000 soldiers led by Baru were firmly guarded to prevent the Burwick soldiers from rushing out in the city.

The logistics troops guarding Stanlo City immediately saw the power of the formation gun mentioned by the defeated soldiers. A distance of 150 meters was nothing to these monks holding the formation gun. They tried a few shots and found that they basically meant to hit wherever they were, without shaking hands. The defenders of Berwick stood on the city wall and accidentally exposed their heads, and were named by a bunch of bullets, and most of them were shot!

In less than a day, the Berwick defenders suffered heavy losses, but it would not work if they didn't go up to the city wall. The soldiers of the Al Kingdom under the city were carrying a ladder to climb up the city wall. If they were allowed to stand firm on the city wall, they would follow some of the formation gun troops. With the power of the formation gun, there would be nowhere to hide in the city!

Some people say that war is the catalyst of technology, but this is true. Since ancient times, there have been spears and shields. After a day of defense, the city guards also learned the power of the formation gun troops when 20,000 soldiers died tragically.

That night, the blacksmith shop in the city and various Jindan masters started construction overnight, and collected all the iron tools that could be found in the city. They also melted some soldiers' armor and weapons to create thick iron shields.

The next day, the iron shield that the Berwick guards drove up overnight stood on the city wall. Although the bullets hit the iron shield, the iron shield was also crackled and uneven, but they could not be shot through. The soldiers behind the iron shield were much safer, and the Berwick formation gun troops lost their function again!

Although the formation gun troops of the Kingdom of Al lost their function, the Berwick defenders who stood on the wall did not dare to show their heads. The bow and archers who usually suppressed the sharp weapon of siege did not dare to send the city wall at this time. The scope of the giant shield defense was always limited. Moreover, if there were missiles accidentally, the archers had to retreat a little to shoot the arrows. The wooden high platform outside was higher than the city wall. As long as the archers showed their figure, they would be named. Therefore, the archers had no choice but to shoot blindly.

The ejected bows and arrows are not lethal for the sergeants in this world. All the monks in the Qi Refining Stage can move their weapons and weapons so that they can't be airtight. The arrows that rely on gravity acceleration can be easily pushed away by these sergeants. They are not the kind of arrows with powerful true energy direct shooting, but just sending arrows to the enemy. Therefore, the sergeants of Berwick defended their defenses with passive defense. The bow and arrow troops who usually defended the city did not go to the city wall!

I can't do anything to you, and I can't do anything to you. The two armies fell into the confrontation stage again. The confrontation lasted for four or five days. Although people were hit by stray bullets every day on the city wall, hundreds of casualties in a day were nothing in such a battle.

Although Karafon was so anxious that he jumped straight, he had no choice but to report the situation of the battle to Carus in detail under the Burwick soldiers' retreat tactics.

"My dear friends, formation guns are conducive to field battles but not to siege the city. When they encounter this kind of iron barrel defense, 350,000 soldiers can't attack the city for a few days! What are your good strategies?"

Look at me, I look at you, they have only been in contact with the formation gun for a few months, and the battle reports they received were only one and a half battles. One was a field battle fought by the Yanhuang army, and the other half was this siege. If you want to find examples for reference, there is no place to find them. How can you answer it?

What's more, although Millum and Hudal are now dukes of the Al Kingdom, their family's main interests are earned by the Yanhuang family. Their concern for the things in the kingdom has dropped significantly. With the mentality of not being concerned about themselves, both of them are closing their eyes to rest, which makes Carus feel a secret hatred.
