"Concentrate! They are heavy infantry on both flanks! Storm the Central Front! ”

Karacha frantically gathered his scattered soldiers in the central square of the outer city, only to find that there was not a single enemy around.

Although the shouts of killing are still very loud, they are only concentrated in the area of the South Gate.

As Caracha led his infantry cautiously forward, he realized that the Roman army had not plundered the city as he had imagined and sought out military strongholds, but when they entered the town, they took the southern wall and built a rampartial line under the gate.

"What are the Romans going to do?" Carachar had not yet had time to wonder why the gates had fallen without any resistance, and the strange behavior of the Romans made him even more incredible.

"General Karacha, where is Lycaon!" Khalil panted and ran to the front of the south gate position, where the soldiers on both sides were now tugging under the city gate, "His Majesty the Sultan has something important to look for him." ”

"His Excellency Khalil went to His Majesty's court so late, it seems that he is very diligent in government affairs......" When they first met, Karacha didn't forget to be sarcastic, "Lukaon? Haven't seen it! If nothing else, he should gather more troops in the other walls to support the South Gate. How? His Excellency Khalil wants to consult with Lykaon? ”

"You...... You'll soon understand! Khalil flicked his sleeves away angrily, "By the way, His Majesty's death order from the Sultan!" The enemy who has invaded Edir must be driven out! In the shortest possible time! ”

The Romans had no intention of attacking, and after several tentative attempts by Caracha were repulsed, the Romans held the line firmly. He didn't even have the desire to pursue, which made Karacha feel even more weird.

"What's going on......"

"General Caracha, don't care what the Romans want to do! We should concentrate our superior forces and drive the Romans out first! ”

"General Lucaon?"

Caracha turned around and found that Lycaon had also come with a large army to reinforce the southern gate, intending to launch a concentrated attack.

"Why are you here?"

"I heard that the southern city gate was breached, and I quickly mobilized other reserve defenders to support the defense, how is the situation?"

Karacha was not too wary, and hastily explained to Lycaon: "They have assembled a fairly solid infantry formation under the city walls, and they have not taken the initiative to attack. On the contrary, it turned from offensive to defensive, and did not lengthen the front line, making it difficult for us to take care of it. ”

"It's strange...... then," said Lycaon, with a pretense of gesture, "but we must not let them bite our city like moths!" And there is also a possibility that they are also waiting for their own reinforcements, as the vanguard force, they do not have too many troops to have too much advantage, and they do not dare to advance into the city. After all, the Romans' encirclement network is also very sparse, and they can't draw so many troops in a short time! ”

"What do you mean......"

"Concentrate all the superior forces, expel them first, there are still defenders on the other city walls, even if their army attacks from the other city walls at this time, it will not fall immediately, we can mobilize troops to deploy defenses at that time!"

"That's it! Give me offense! Karacha pointed directly at the central front of the Greek legion and launched a concentrated onslaught.

The Ottoman infantry had extensive experience in breaking through strong lines, but Latius laid out a line with few holes. This most traditional line of defensive infantry, which was even about to be eliminated by history, was almost watertight in the hands of Latius, and the speed of the defensive line was unusually fast.

And because the Romans had already captured the southern wall, the Ottomans would face a threat from above their heads in their towns, and even if the armor could block most of the arrows, there would always be a few lucky ones who would become the souls of the arrows.

Things are going in a weirder direction.

Just when the Romans were about to collapse with a certain degree of attrition, an infantry reinforcement suddenly rushed into the city wall and filled the vacancy in the center.

But even with reinforcements, the Romans remained motionless.

"What the hell? Don't they want to win? "Carachar was completely unable to judge the intentions of the Romans, and Lycaon was still madly directing his troops to storm the gap.

"I think...... Something isn't quite right...... Lycaon, stop the attack first! ”

"Huh? What's wrong? ”

"Don't you think this force has been waiting for us to crash into it from start to finish? Even if they have achieved some advantages in attack and defense, and still hold their ground, you think ......"

"Wait, General Karacha...... Is that...... The Great Mosque of Muradiya! Lycaon pointed to Karacha's back with a shocked face.

Karacha took a look, and was disturbed by the shouting of the south gate just now, but he didn't expect that when he turned around, the Muradiya Mosque had fallen into a sea of fire.

And just a few minutes later, a large part of the city was surrounded by flames, screams reverberated one after another in the city, and scattered troops everywhere, even like a nest of headless flies, searched everywhere for reinforcements. However, most of the defenders of the city were still engaged in a struggle at the south gate.

At this point, Karacha tried to gather his army back, but the Romans pounced like mad and crushed the Ottomans to their positions. They even abandoned the formation, and instead carried out a counter-encirclement of the Ottoman army with weak forces!

At this moment, Karacha no longer understood what was happening, and he didn't have to be the commander. The South Gate was not the main direction of attack of the Romans at all! Attracted by this small force of troops entering the city, the Ottoman army was bound to be unable to build an effective defensive line at the other gates. If the gates are opened again, the coalition forces will be left in a no-man's land, and they can plunder the outer city at will!

And that speaks for itself! In the Ottoman army, there were several traitors who opened the gates of the Roman Empire!

"Lucaon! You take half of the people here, go to replenish the defensive line, enter the inner city first, hold the inner city, and then say, I will be there as soon as I get rid of this group of people! Still not very sure about the defense of the inner city, Karacha added, "Remember, immediately mobilize the Sultan's guards to fortify the walls, so that we can repel their attack in the shortest possible time, and the Romans are nothing more than a group of infantry, not worth mentioning in front of the Sultan's guards!" ”

"Understood, General Karacha!"

……

"Brother, it's up to you next."

It was the first time for John to enter the front line of the battlefield in person, and even with the protection of a secular knight, he was still a little nervous. But it is also the best proof of the results of the years of learning under Giovanni. Giovanni's handing over of the command to himself this time is also equivalent to an assessment.

"Don't worry, even if Muhammad grows wings this time, he won't be able to fly!"
