On the other side of the Rhone River, in the camp with its back against the city wall, a group of knights with bright armor had just stepped out of the array. The general, who was as gorgeous as a peacock in a velvet cloak, could not help but be stunned on the spot.
They watched helplessly as the big flag with a blue background and a smiling face faced the scorching sun, smashed and penetrated the layers of stone bridge defenses without any hindrance; then it drove and chased the remaining guards at the bridge head post and rushed over; Immediately behind the banner were infantry and cavalry formations surging all over the mountains and plains.
It was a rolling torrent formed by countless blue robes and silver-white armor; it filled most people's vision in an instant and overflowed both sides of the Rhone River. And wherever the big flag that had crossed the river passed, the sentinels and fortresses set up along the river collapsed one after another.
Then, it was like a miracle appeared out of thin air. One after another, complete finished bridges began to emerge on the Seine River, providing smooth passage for more blue-robed soldiers. Then, these knights and generals in costume couldn't help but turn around and retreat as if they were just waking up from a dream.
However, those who moved faster than them were the artillerymen of the Free Army who had already reached the opposite river bank. Just after a rough observation and aiming, the eight-pound, twelve-pound long cannon and eighteen-pound short-barreled mortars of the horse-drawn army could not wait to roar with flames and smoke.
In an instant, a series of arc-shaped parabolic trajectories were drawn; they leaped over the half-mile-wide river first, then roared and crashed to the ground in front of the attacking camp below the city. While splashing up a large cloud of sand, earth and rocks, they continued to bounce forward.
Along with the human body and the horse-rejecting fortifications that fell one after another, there were the sounds of being smashed and shattered and the whine; in the array waiting for the city, there were also short-term gaps dripping with blood. At this time, groups of crossbowmen carrying heavy crossbows and crossbows hurriedly lined up in front of the formation.
Facing the oncoming blue flag with a smiling face and a scorching sun, he gritted his teeth and struggled to stir the handle of the machine string, or used his pedals to wind the string; and then he shot the first round of arrows flawlessly. Then, under the intimidation of the enemy cavalry who rushed forward almost unscathed, they dispersed with a bang.
Then, those heavily armored knights following behind the banner were like waves crashing on the loose beach; just as their mounts were about to hit those preset layers of pickets, horses, and barriers. ; Suddenly they flew up one after another with incredible dexterity and speed.
It was like human-shaped cannonballs, or heavy hammers swung in the air, hitting the breastplate soldiers with bladed spears, axes and halberds behind the defense fortifications. @essence\/书馆·无码第一~~Waving the weapon, it knocked over and knocked down a piece, bringing out bursts of bloody storms.
These heavily armored knights who broke into the enemy's position, after clearing and driving back the enemies around them, gathered together in twos and threes; they covered each other where the enemies were most densely concentrated, and used special rotating hand cannons to fire fan-shaped shotguns, or The exploding ball bombs caused more casualties and chaos.
Around the blue flag in the center, it seemed to be involved in a huge storm of flesh and blood; wherever the flag passed, whether it was a thick wooden stake, an iron-tipped horse, or a horse nailed deeply into the ground, Barriers and heavy vehicles were all shattered and blown away on the spot.
In the blink of an eye, the front line of the Lyon army, which bore the brunt of the attack, was also composed of numerous light armored sword and shield bearers and armored spearmen, intertwined in heavy arrays. The thickest and densest position, fiercely smashed and protruded one, at least a hundred meters wide. The huge gap; and it keeps tearing deep.
Therefore, the Lyon army finally made corresponding countermeasures and countermeasures. The artillery and crossbows that were thrown hard at the top of the city covered the enemy regardless of our own. At the same time, under the vigorously shaking golden horseshoe print flag, two cavalrymen also rushed out from the military formation on both wings that had not been affected yet.
One cavalry wore Eastern-style half-length patchwork armor and peaked helmets, while the other wore northern-style chain mail and Norman helmets with nose guards; but the top two were armored knights wearing different coats of arms. and retinue, under their leadership, surrounded the enemy's flank and rear.
However, at this time, the large group of cavalry who had been separated from the rear had also followed up. He took the first step and ran into the middle of these Lyon cavalry. In an instant, they were overturned and falling like rain, and they were densely intertwined with each other, chasing and fighting endlessly.
So the city formed a line of formation. (This chapter is not finished yet!)

The remaining troops who had not engaged in the battle could no longer hold back, and voluntarily gave up their front lines and formations; they rushed forward one after another, wanting to support friendly forces or flank the enemy; but due to the disorder, they fought independently. , making the situation even more chaotic.
Then, these enemy troops who acted rashly tasted the bitter consequences of leaving their lines and fortification cover on the spot; the Free Army infantry brigade that followed to cross the river and reorganize their formation was also slowly advancing. And at the very front were rows of gunners and grenadiers with flat ends.
I saw them marching slowly in neat rows according to the beat of drummers and bugles, while loading ammunition in an orderly manner; then, at the moment when the sharp whistle sounded, they stopped reflexively and made a ping-pong sound. Rows of fireworks were emitted in turn.
Like a death sickle that had been harvested invisible in the air, every time the whistles sounded one after another, among the Lyon army who tried to encircle them in reverse, some soldiers suddenly burst out with blood and fell down; it was like The surface of a cabbage or onion that has been torn apart randomly...
This result also caused greater chaos and instability in the Lyon army, which was acting on its own. Some people began to break away from the periphery, trying to get rid of this invisible threat of killing; others were unwilling to lead the team to turn around and fight, and still others were confused and shouted for help.
At the same time, the blue flag with a smiling face and a scorching sun that had penetrated deeply into the front line of the Lyon Army continued to maintain its momentum of advancement amid the most powerful and numerous enemies. The enemies that gathered like waves were overturned and knocked away like snow on the shore.
In the blink of an eye, they were hit by the endless cannons and arrows fired from the top of the city; they quickly approached the original gate of the city, where the central command of the Lyon Army was located. At this time, dozens of heavily armored knights finally rushed out of the city gate and ran into each other head-on.
Then, amid the resounding clashes, roars, and collisions, these heavily armored knights, whose entire bodies were covered with tight protection, were thrown away, including the men and their horses. Or it crashed into the city wall, leaving spider web-like cracks, or it rolled in the air and smashed the commanding wooden platform.
As the Lyon army's command platform was bombarded by these heavily armored knights, it collapsed. The Lyon City Gate, which was originally open, no longer paid attention to the open outer gate, and the thick iron gate quickly fell down with a clanging sound; then it began to close with a dull sound, and the thick inner city gate began to close.
And this scene, which was like abandoning everyone outside the city, also seemed to have taken away the backbone of the Lyon army that was still fighting in the melee; leaving them with the last vestige of morale and fighting spirit, turning them into panic and panic as they fled in all directions; Film after film shows the indignation, dejection and despair of surrendering on the spot...
Almost in the blink of an eye, as flags of various colors were placed one after another, thousands of Lyon soldiers faced the city wall with their backs, and amid the corpses lying on the ground and the wails of the wounded, they gradually stopped resisting. Only a few people fled in other directions against the city wall.
However, the battle did not end, or come to a temporary stage. Because Jiang Dao, who was dressed in blood-colored armor, appeared in front of the soldiers with the big flag again; he stretched out his hand and pressed it on the iron grid. The cast iron grid, which was almost as thick as an adult's arm, fell apart in an instant. Update without error@
The next moment, he touched the closed inner city gate again, and suddenly kicked it over; in an instant, the heavy city gate also fell down with a roar; at the same time, there was a loud hissing and a crowd of people gathered behind the door trying to escape. The defenders who resisted to the end...
As the heavily armored knights surged in with roaring horses, they knocked away and trampled the remnants of the enemy who could not escape; the fate and outcome of this city no longer had many surprises. The prisoners of the Lyon Army who were taken into custody were even more excited when they saw this, and even felt hot and cold.
Just a few hours later, Jiang Tian was able to walk through the spacious streets that ran through the central axis of the city, led by soldiers posted along the streets; behind many closed doors and windows, he was under the focus of timid or fearful eyes. , embarked on the journey to the City Hall/Grand Governor's Mansion.
And a group of old officials from the city stood on the steps of the Governor's Mansion to greet him. They were suddenly a middle-aged man wearing a wig and powdered face. However, when Jiang Tian saw him, he nodded approvingly and said, "La Fontaine, you did a great job. You have worked really hard. Now you can return to the team."
That's right, this middle-aged man named La Fontaine was originally sent to Lyon by the Free Army under the cover of a businessman. (This chapter is not finished yet!)

Later, he spent money to become a senior member of the Warlord's Office. Later, he took the opportunity to develop a number of subordinates and became the most important spy leader lurking in the local area.
Of course, he was originally just an ordinary businessman walking around the city. This was because when Jiang Tian led the small team south, he extended a helping hand and favor along the way. Then he volunteered to come to the city of Lyon, where he once lived, to act as a long-term spy and spy for the Free Army.
Therefore, when the dust of the decisive battle outside the city fell, he also took the risk to stand up "in time"; successfully persuaded his colleagues and superiors who were in panic all day long, sealed the documents and warehouse keys in the Governor's Office, and at the same time sent people to monitor and Detain those radical royalists.
Make sure that you can dedicate a relatively intact city to the new victor, and also find a way out for yourself to save your life. Of course, unsurprisingly, the Grand Overseer of Lyon also ran away. From the moment he was defeated outside the city, he disappeared from the office.
Together with his favorite mistress, they just disappeared from the world. Only a few private cash boxes with signed bonds and real estate documents were left open in his dormitory. . First update@
