Chapter 63 Breakthrough(1/2)
The garrisons in the city hurriedly began to gather towards the west gate.
Cliff, the commander of the Ram Gate City Defense, even rode a horse in the city and immediately climbed the siege on the west gate.
He pulled over the patrolman who rang the bell and shouted, "What happened?"
"Sir, please see it yourself..."
The man raised his hand tremblingly and pointed to the west horizon.
In the sight, behind a small earth slope to the west, the Knights Templars gradually poked their heads out, and then quickly passed through the slope ahead.
Cliff gasped.
He was convinced that the army in front of him was a well-trained cavalry regiment.
The riding speed on the group was very fast, but it still maintained a meticulous formation.
City Defense Commander Cliff's face turned gloomy, and he turned to look at the city behind him.
The two city defense teams rushed from Haimen to reinforce were sparsely. Although the archers had tried their best to travel, they still seemed unable to climb the city wall before the enemy cavalry arrived.
Moreover, looking at their breathless look, I am afraid that even if they climb up, they will not have the energy to pull the bow and aim.
at this time.
A thunderous sound of horse hooves outside the city poured into Cliff's eardrums.
His face was trembling and turned a little white.
He made a quick decision and shouted downwards: "Don't come up, line up thirty steps away from the infantry gate, and the shield soldiers are ready to defend."
"quick!"
The garrison below heard the order and began to act.
However, the Knights Templar cavalry came rapidly.
The deafening thunder sounded louder and louder, the Templar's horses were getting closer and closer to the West Gate, and the rumbling horse hooves began to hit the hearts of every Ram Gate garrison soldier.
Finally, the city defense commander Cliff saw clearly a circular giant wood tied with ropes between the several knights in the middle of the Knights Templar.
That was prepared for siege beech.
The other party came to break through the city.
He quickly prepared behind him, climbed the stairs to the archers in the wall village, and waved his arms.
"It's too late! The archers line up on the spot, spreading out in arcs"
"quick!"
A touch of cold sweat poured on the back of the city defense commander.
The Knights Templar, which had been specially rested, sprinted very quickly, and after a moment, it was already close.
One hundred steps!
Fifty!
The commander on the city wall immediately shouted at the infantry team that had been lined up: "Defense, prepare for defense."
"Don't be messy, the archers are arranged in a scattered manner, and don't gather together."
"Damn it, didn't you hear my order? Damn it, why are you in a daze, spread, spread."
There was a loud 'boom'.
The commander's roar was interrupted.
Immediately afterwards, a burst of dust flew up, and the wooden gate was hit hard by beech wood and fell down with a bang.
Lovren led the Knights Templars, like a demon coming, swarming into the Ram Gate city.
"Long live the Knights Templar!"
"kill!"
Lovren shouted his orders in the center of the Knights.
The first cavalry that entered the city trampled on the collapsed wooden city gate and rushed in.
"Shoot the arrow!"
The archers of the garrison army had not yet been able to rank in a row, so they could only draw their bows and shoot arrows on the spot.
Lovren judged the direction of the dense rain of arrows.
Spread the team into two strands, bypass the tightly formed infantry formations, and attack the archers of the garrison from the flanks.
The Gongyang City infantry defended by the giant shield in front were ready to take action to withstand the impact of the cavalry team.
However, the enemy's cavalry slid past them like loaches, without any intention of rushing into their formation.
The infantrymen who dared not have a good time came forward to intercept them.
However, losing the protection of the formation was an extremely stupid move. The cavalry flew past them without hesitation. Those who dared to emerge were either knocked straight away by the war horse or stabbed through the body by the cavalry's spear and sword.
Easily pay the price of tragic deaths of five or six people.
The garrison soldiers finally understood,
If you walk out of the defense queue, you will die, so no one will want to die so stupidly.
The infantry retreated back to the queue and watched the cavalry of the Knights Templar pass by their eyes.
The soldiers of the archers behind were completely shocked when they saw this scene.
His own infantry compatriots were unpredictably involved in a fight with the enemy cavalry.
Now, the group of cavalry like death rushed towards them straight and straight.
The archers who had just pulled the bowstrings were all so scared that they could no longer suppress their fear and fled back and avoided them.
The first Knights Templar soldiers who entered the city perfectly avoided the defensive queue.
He transformed into a death harvester and rushed to hunt down a group of panicked archers.
An archer who had no time to escape was caught by a cavalry, and a sharp blade slashed through his throat.
He covered his neck with his archer, and before he fell down, he looked at the city gate from the corner of his eyes.
Thinking about why these cavalry did not attack the garrison infantry positions that were clearly close to each other, but rushed straight to the rear.
He had never heard of any of the northern troops having such terrifying execution at the critical moment of the battlefield.
The archers behind him were crushed and chased by the enemy's cavalry.
This was a devastating blow to the morale of the garrison infantry lined up in front.
The garrison infantry array began to loosen, and the soldiers' faces were astonished and incredible.
I was confused and thought about whether to simply disperse the queue and rescue my archer comrades, or to continue to make a meaningless array here.
Just as the group of people were hesitating, a rumbling sound of horse hooves sounded outside the city, and bursts of dust were flying.
Cliff, the commander on the wall, saw everything clearly.
The Knights Templars, before arriving at the siege, were divided into two strands.
Only one of them entered the city at this time.
There was also a team of left-behind Knights outside the city, and it was not until this time that began to rush into the city.
The infantry in front of the city gate was not very prepared for all this coming.
Their attention was attracted by the rear.
"Damn it, the other side has a cavalry."
"Prepare to hit and lift the shield."
Even though Cliff roared and shouted hard,
However, it was no longer helpful.
With enough space, the cavalry team outside the city who could raise their rifles to sprint, leveled the cold-scared rifles early, and they were ready to go, waiting for a command.
"Knights Templars, charge!"
"kill!"
When fighting head-on, cavalry is better than infantry.
The cavalry charge with a cavalry attacking posture is even more lethal to the infantry.
The Yangmen Shield and Armored Soldiers at the forefront of the array heard the roars and horse hooves outside the city.
He turned his head in surprise, and as the dust filled the air, a group of black shadows rushed over from the city gate at a very fast speed.
After a moment of shock.
The men quickly shouted, reminding the other soldiers in the back row of the array to prepare to face the enemy.
"Impact, impact, prepare for defense!"
To be continued...
