Chapter 9: The Mamluks

The city suddenly became one-sided, and although the enemy rushed in, there were not many of them, but the enemy was not stupid, and they began to move the granite stones that stood in the way of the city gates. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

The Kugit cavalry in the distance tightened their horse ropes, a detail that I had captured from the city walls.

I hurriedly called out to the infantry in the city: "Don't let the enemy move the stones, go and stop them." ”

Hearing my order, the infantry began to kill outside the city, and the poor city gate, which was small in space, suddenly became the most important battlefield.

There were too many enemies outside the city, and seeing that our army was gradually defeated, I grabbed the blood-red sword beside me and was about to go to support the city, but at that moment, Rogge grabbed my wrist holding the sword.

He was obviously stunned for a moment when he saw my sword, and I actually saw greed in his eyes, but only for a moment, he quickly came back to his senses and said to me: "The commander of the battlefield must survive, recognize your position, respected warrior, you are the hope of victory in this war." Then he will lead the men to the city and kill them.

But when he was halfway there, he suddenly turned around and said to me: "Although I am very reluctant to mention it, I am afraid that I will not have another chance to tell you, your sword is not a good thing, although it is gorgeous, but it cannot hide its bloodthirstiness, never be controlled by your sword." After he finished speaking, without any pause, he rushed straight to the city.

I turned my gaze to the bloody sword in my hand, it glowed with a faint red light on the bloody battlefield, and there were some red dots floating around it like Mars, but it was a little more bloody than Mars.

Looking at this sword, I was actually distracted, the sword slowly lit up in my eyes, and suddenly emitted a red light from the blade of the sword, and the red light just came out and shot greedily towards my heavenly spirit cover, it passed through my forehead, burst out to my divine consciousness, my head hurt, and hurriedly threw the sword in my hand, lying on the ground and screaming in pain.

The soldiers around me also noticed my strangeness, but now the situation is very clear to me, I must not fall, I stood up with difficulty, with the convulsions of my body, and then I walked to the side of the blood-colored sword, and picked it up again, but I did not dare to look at it again, so I could only pretend to be calm.

The headache lasted for a long time, it made my mind dazed for a while, and the situation on the battlefield deteriorated again, the granite of the city gate was about to be emptied, and the cavalry in the distance slowly lowered their horses and pointed forward, and I knew that they were going to attack.

Sure enough, as I expected, the granite of the city gate had not been cleared before they pulled the horses. The sharp spears all pointed at the defenders in the city, who were already at the end of the crossbow, and a bad premonition came.

I looked again at the city gates, where Rog was at the front, followed by fifty warriors of the Sultans who looked at death as if they were at home, not with scimitars, but with spears, and they intended to use their flesh to hold back the Kugit cavalry like a tide.

I wanted to call out to Rogge, but to no avail, he was already in a certain belief in death, and I was so anxious that I was quite out of shape, and if it wasn't for the people around me to hold me, I would have gone to see God like them.

In the last moments of the Kugit cavalry, Rog looked at me, and his eyes were full of relief, not the despair I had seen before, it was the only good thing I had seen in this war.

Then the enemy's cavalry arrived, accompanied by the sound of horses' hooves, and then there was blood, and the blood of all of them spurted out at that time, and sprayed on the faces of the people opposite, and the first row of cavalry was stabbed down by the spears of the infantry, and the infantry was also pierced by the cavalry, and some were knocked away by the horses, and I watched like that, and Rogge's heart was pierced by the sharp horses, and his body was trampled into flesh by the horses, and I choked up and didn't cry.

The cavalry was still stronger than I could have imagined, and they broke through the defenses of Rog and fifty warriors, but their formation trembled only a little, and they did not suffer much damage, and besides, they still rushed in through the small gates, and did not cause any congestion.

Now I didn't have time to be sad, so I looked down at the city, and then I had ten men set up a tripline, and then led dozens of infantry down the tower, and as I ran I asked them, "Is there any log in the castle for building materials?" They gasped and replied, "Yes, in Chief Artis's private storehouse." I was so happy that I said, "That couldn't be better." ”

We soon arrived at Artis's private warehouse, this place is big to death, the floor is made of brittle wood, and there is a crisp and pleasant sound when you step on it, the roof is made of steel, and the trebuchets of the Kugit have not caused the slightest harm here, I asked them to take as much wood as possible, and then I began to examine the warehouse, I found a ladder, and slowly climbed up to the roof, looking at the structure of the roof, I suddenly rejoiced in my heart, there were screws, and I just wanted to ask someone to remove these screws, and suddenly, I thought of my sword.

With the idea of giving it a try, I struggled to use my sword to cut at the screws that Jungang had made, and the next release was beyond my expectations, not only did the screws become shattered, but the entire roof was lifted, but the screws on the other side did not move, and the roof turned over at once, forming a slope.

I called the soldiers who were still carrying the logs and told them to roll the logs down from here, and in the distance there were Kugit's cavalry.

Looking at the wood that had been pulled up the slope, I looked at the blood-colored sword again, and wondered what it did, I gently laid the sword flat on top of the wood, and then, the whole log was on fire, and I almost didn't stand still, looking at the soldiers who had not yet come to my senses, I shouted: "Look at what I am doing, get out!" They answered before they hurriedly pushed the log on top.

The log rolled very fast, and it burned a vegetable patch, which I later learned belonged to Artis, but even if it was his, it was nothing, and the feud between the two of us was settled anyway.

Before the cavalry in the distance could reach the castle, the logs broke their formation, and we let out a shout of joy, but even with such a powerful impact, and at such a large and fast log, they lined up their ranks, but changed direction and rushed out of the city.

I didn't let anyone stop them, because I knew that there was probably no one to stop them, and soon they rushed out of the city gates, and the battlefield was finally relieved.

Then, during the day, I did not see those Kugit cavalry again, and the enemy no longer launched a large-scale attack, but only a small harassment.

That night I found Rog's sword, which was broken and covered with dust, and the hilt had been trampled by horses, and I could not find his body, but it took me a long time to find his sword, and I built him a small grave in a fertile field at the back of the town, and then stuck his sword in it.

Today I heard a new term, the name of the cavalry: "Mamluks", and he also had a huge influence on my later career.
