Within the surrounded tower, there was a flurry of movement. The well-dressed and well-armed Guards inside the fortress only tried to break out once; under the repeated attacks of the galloping Free Army cavalry, they fled back in a panic.
Therefore, as the commander of the Conté Army, Prince Federo; at this moment, the sweat from his head had washed away the lead powder and rouge on his face; and he undressed his tie and collar as if he was trapped in a trap. Running around like a beast and screaming loudly, the name of the most trusted veteran, Langdogon.
It wasn't until someone couldn't help but tell him that General Rondogon, the deputy of the legion, had actually gone out with the knights from Besancon and never returned; then he suddenly stopped moving, with a look on his face. Sluggish and lost, he fell down on the steps of the tower.
At this time, more and more enemy troops seemed to be gathering outside, and at the same time, something was shouted loudly in the air. However, when Prince Federo looked carefully, he discovered that it was the unique military flag and logo of the Knights of Besançon from the Grand Crown of Franche-Conté.
However, these flags and honors that represented the honor and dignity of the knights were like garbage at the moment, being thrown and stacked on the ground, and then allowed to be trampled by the cavalry in the dust and mud. Faced with this deliberate provocation, the defenders in the fortress lost their fighting spirit.
[To be honest, I have been using Changing Source to read books and catch up on updates recently. Changing Source can switch and read aloud with many sounds. .huann. It can be used on both Android and Apple. 】
We can only stand behind the civil ultimatums and wall stacks, looking at each other in shock or with dull eyes; morale has dropped visibly to the naked eye. If the guards who had escaped were not staring closely at them, perhaps the defenders in these fortresses would have opened the doors and surrendered as soon as possible.
Not to mention the neatly dressed attendants and servants who came with Master Phaedrus, or the members of the exclusive band and choir; now they are shivering and hiding in every corner of the castle, coating themselves with mud and filth. On the face and body, pray to avoid some terrible encounter.
"Legion Commander! Look!" Until the surviving deputy captain of the Guards, he pulled Master Federo up again with excitement on his face, pointed in the direction of Dijon and shouted: "That's Burgundy in the city. Flag of the legion, His Royal Highness Prince Kongté has sent troops to rescue you!"
Then, the Free Army soldiers who were besieged around the castle quickly turned around and formed several formations to meet the attack. In an instant, they were double-layered with spears, swords and shields, and several rows of firecrackers and crossbows. The hollow square formation fought with the first wave of Burgundian cavalry.
And when these Burgundian cavalry thrust with spears, they were blocked and struggled in the front row for a moment by the spears that stabbed each other and the swords that slashed their legs and feet; The powerful crossbow knocked him down like falling leaves and threw him under his horse.
In the blink of an eye, several rounds of attacks by the leading cavalry collapsed; in vain, they left behind a pile of human and horse corpses, roaring away to both sides, leaving the battlefield to the large group of infantry following behind. Each of these infantrymen was wearing chain mail and armed with big swords and long axes.
….
Like a silvery white surge, they scrambled to withstand the jagged rain of muskets and bullets that were hastily fired, slashing and smashing away the spear tips that were stabbing them; in the blink of an eye, they rushed into the hollow phalanx. The projectile suddenly thrown from the inside trapped them in the explosion of fireworks.
And when the bursting fire and smoke dissipated with the wind, only the bloody corpses and wounded lying on the ground were left among the criss-crossed lines. As well as the surviving Burgundian hoplites, they screamed in surprise and turned around to run away in a panic, only to be shot at by muskets and fell into scattered backs.
Although they quickly reunited with their companions in the rear, they reorganized their formation and launched several rounds of attacks again. However, faced with the obstruction of spears/swords, the continuous firing of firecrackers, and the bombardment of explosive bombs thrown from time to time, apart from shrinking the hollow phalanx, they have never been able to achieve a breakthrough.
And Prince Federo in the tower was also sweating profusely, coercing and making many promises. So that the guards and guard soldiers can be mobilized to launch a breakout operation that combines internal and external forces while the reinforcements are fighting on the outside. When he obviously overestimated the fighting spirit and fighting spirit of these subordinates.
Even if he said it with foam flying at the mouth
After drying their mouths, the noble children in the remaining guards hesitated to come up with various reasons and excuses to evade. The original soldiers guarding the fortress were somewhat tempted by his promise, but Master Federo did not trust them.
Therefore, the precious opportunity was wasted away bit by bit amid the continuous fighting on the outside and the hesitant pushing and blocking in the fortress. At the same time, Jiang Tian, who had gradually advanced to the city with the entire army, also climbed to the top of a newly captured fortress wall to look out.
Just around the largest fortress on the outskirts of the city in the distance, enemy reinforcements were constantly coming out from the city, and the main force of the Free Army continued to arrive; a criss-crossing attack and sawing battle continued. Obviously, that large fortress with the legionary flag contains people and things that the city is desperately trying to rescue.
Therefore, they had to leave the cover and bonuses of the city defense system and take the initiative. And the fight with the slightly tired main force of the Free Army became a field battle that continued to add fuel to the fire. But in this case, the resilience and endurance of the firearms force can be fully brought into play.
Then, amid the continued cheers under the wall, as a small group of cavalry cleaning the battlefield returned, Jiang Tian also saw a group of enemy prisoners who were tied up and dragged behind the horses, stumbling and stumbling. Judging from the vague appearance of their clothes, they all seemed to have a certain identity.
The most conspicuous among them is an old man with disheveled hair and an unkempt face. His whole body is soaked in dark red blood and covered with large sludge. But even if he is stripped of his armor and weapons, his eyes are still as sharp as an eagle; after seeing At the moment when Jiang was stunned, he suddenly shouted:
"I am the dynasty's leader of the Champagne Corps, Count Adalbert of Meaux; as a member of the kingdom's nobility, I ask the knight king from the south to give me reciprocal treatment consistent with my status; and in accordance with the tradition of the kingdom, allow me to The family raised a ransom in exchange for personal freedom..."
"To be honest, you don't deserve it!" However, Jiang Tian just looked at him deeply and then uttered a few words lightly:
….
"What?" Adalbert, the commander of the Penang Army and Count of Meucheng, heard this and said in shock and anger: "Have you already abandoned the honor and tradition of the knight class and fallen to be like those despicable people? Just like the common people, do you want to act recklessly regardless of your dignity and dignity?"
"No, I just never compromise with the aliens, and I will not easily forgive those who collude with the aliens." Jiang Tian shook his head and said: Then he waved his hand, and there were more than a dozen corpses of enemy knights wearing heavy plate armor. , was carried over by the soldiers on the left and right and displayed in the open space.
Although, most of these corpses were mutilated or burned to a crisp. But it can be vaguely seen that under the cover of thick armor, these knight corpses not only have extremely thick body hair and unusually deformed limbs, but also have obvious protrusions and deformations on their heads and faces.
Apparently after the change in the celestial sphere, the Burgundian dynasty in the north, in order to obtain more sources of knights for blood inheritance, made some taboo attempts on the knights belonging to the dynasty; as a result, the bodies of the members of these knights were all There are varying degrees of distortions that tend to be heterogeneous.
This is not a good sign. You must know that before this, the Free Army had sent people within the kingdom to widely publicize and inform the secret aliens, trying to destroy and pollute the blood and inheritance of the kingdom's knights; and in this way, they showed that they would never compromise against any threat to all aliens. Attitude.
But now it seems that the Burgundian dynasty in Seine City has taken advantage of certain changes represented by the changes in the celestial sphere to further intensify the secret merging and mutual use of aliens. However, the scene shown in front of them seemed to have a shocking effect on these prisoners.
"Impossible!" "Absolutely impossible!" "This is slander and frame-up..." "I will never believe it." "This must be your forged result." Some people on the spot couldn't accept it, and shouted and cursed one after another. , defended. But a few remained silent.
However, Jiang Tian no longer cares whether they believe it or not; anyway, if nothing unexpected happens, these people will have to go to the mines and salt fields and spend the rest of their lives under strict supervision to contribute the last remaining value to the southern salvation government. Just as he was about to wave someone to take him down.
Suddenly, an obvious vibration came from the distance, attracting Jue again.
Most people's attention. It was a series of earthquakes that made the city's sand and soil fall. This was no longer a mass charge launched by cavalry, but more like the footsteps of some large creature that was continuing to march.
Then, a slowly moving hill appeared on the edge of the distant battlefield along with the sound of large trees being broken and toppled. Although it seemed to be far away and moving slowly, it wasn't long before most people on the battlefield could clearly see the entire moving hill.
It was an impressive giant monster more than ten meters tall with its back hunched and walking on its hands and feet. On its deformed and protruding back, there were even large areas of earth, rocks, trees, and grass and vegetation attached to it; in comparison, the previous river had The stone monster Tiao tamed was as humble and ridiculous as a toy.
The appearance of this giant monster also caused the two camps that were fighting to become noisy. Most of the soldiers of the Free Army, under the orders of officers and veterans with different combat experience, took turns to cover and gradually disengaged from the battle, and the enemy forces on the opposite side had a similar reaction.
"Great, my father really cherishes and loves me. He even awakened this hidden existence." However, Master Federo, who was sitting on the fortress, showed an overjoyed expression, and faced his subordinates He shouted in a hissing voice: "Quick, follow me to counterattack and break through immediately."
