Accompanying the cannon fire was the task of filling in the trenches.
Antonio and Layton had chosen two points of attack on the eastern and western sides of the city wall, both identified as weaker sections of the wall from intelligence reports.
Each legion was responsible for one direction of attack, tasked not only with destroying the wall but also with filling in the trenches at these locations.
Amid the loud shouting of Captain Hoffman, the defending troops hurriedly ran up to the city wall, and the sentries on the ramparts screamed with all their might, "The triangular fort! They're coming from the triangular fort!"
A large number of soldiers pushing carts poured out from the triangular fort occupied by the Venetians; they rushed into the trenches, filling them with soil and wood from their carts.
"Shoot them! Shoot them!" Captain Hoffman on the city wall roared, snapping his stunned subordinates out of their daze.
