The assembly was completed quite quickly, and in the afternoon, the boulder had already swept over the head of the fortress of Sinvaze. After several corrections, the walls were completely exposed to this extremely dangerous fire. Before the walls collapsed, Morey would have fulfilled his duty and "forcibly" left the fortress of Sinvaze with John and Sophia.

"Your Majesty, the crossbow arrows for the bed crossbow have been depleted. If they climb the walls, I'm afraid they ......"

"I'm afraid they won't have that chance."

John and Morey raised their heads, and standing in front of the fortress gate was Itney, who had been sent out to find support, but it had only been a few days, and it was a little surprising to see him appear again.

"Your Majesty, quickly open the gate on the other side!" Itney's ecstatic voice woke Sophia from her slumber as well, but he still shouted with great excitement, "General Giovanni! It's General Giovanni! ”

John could not have imagined how Giovanni, who was far away in Epirus, could stage a miracle in Serbia.

"He came with his own troops?"

"No, it's a battalion of mixed light and heavy cavalry of the Phoenix Legion. They are just one of the search units on the territory of Serbia. General Giovanni was still to come. Itney, who was still panting, grabbed a wine bottle from the table, "The Phoenix Legion has been rushing to the Serbian-Hungarian border area as fast as possible a week ago...... And it is said that this was not the first order given by General Giovanni. ”

"What do you mean?" Morey asked, somewhat confused.

For the Phoenix Legion, a special standing legion with an absolute status within the Empire, the command was in the hands of the Giovanni and John siblings. Constantine XI's theoretical right of transfer was never used. Mobilizing this legion without Giovanni's orders is an absolute crime that cannot be pardoned.

"It's the Archbishop of Epirus, Lord Sextus. But in the end, it was only approved by Giovanni. Reputedly...... Is this what His Majesty John meant? ”

At this time, John patted his forehead with hindsight: "That's true...... I had told Sextus about it, but I was in a bit of a hurry the day before I came, and I suddenly remembered that I had arranged a backhand. I forgot about it myself after I came out of Vienna, but I didn't expect Sextus to remember it. ”

"What did you say to the Bishop?"

"I remember...... If the diocese had cut off contact with me, there must have been some uncontrollable accident. John touched his face with his palm a little embarrassed, "It's just ...... It was an accident, and the day I left the city, I completely forgot about it. I didn't expect it...... Sextus really has this ability. I thought it was a tool for strengthening the Orthodox Church pulled out by the previous great patriarch, but this time it is still fresh in my memory. ”

The cavalry of the Phoenix Legion has never disappointed so far.

Even if some of them were only light cavalry, or newly recruited soldiers who were not yet familiar with fighting on horse.

But in the presence of His Majesty the Emperor, their bravery was incomparable, for among the cavalry of this battalion was an old acquaintance of His Majesty John, the absolute hero of the Battle of Mount Berricht, the Eagle Wing Company, led by Flora Bravina.

"I was running along the main road full of fallen leaves in the direction of Smederevo, and I happened to bump into Sir Flora on the way. They were also searching for your movements at that time, and although we didn't know each other well, the identity of a secular knight was still very useful at this time. Itney and the other knight pulled the handle together, for the iron hinges were rusty, and the commotion of the gates when they opened was shocking.

Of course, for the mercenaries under the city walls, the nightmare had just begun when the gates opened, and the dust raised by the horses' hooves almost obscured their vision.

Flora had only briefly met John in the fortress, but when he saw the wounded Sophia, the honor of being a knight had made his eyes red. Sophia is the patron of all the knights of the Phoenix Legion, and if you really want to think about it, this matter can definitely be dragged to the Hagia Sophia for trial.

"Slaughter these beasts for me!"

The mercenaries were stunned for a moment, almost completely unaware that the forest not far behind them might allow some of the lucky ones to survive. As they trembled and drew their weapons of various colors from their waists and backs, the glittering spears and maces came to them.

The cavalry was less than a hundred, and the mercenaries were nearly a thousand, but they collapsed in an instant.

Flora's cavalry spear still hung the Battle Banner of the Eagle Wing Company, and when the white flag was stained red with blood, it looked even more striking in the sunlight.

In the charging state of the cavalry spear, even if you are wearing Gothic nested riveted plate armor, the armor is not pierced, the impact brought by the tip of the spear is enough to take half a life, not to mention that the equipment of this group of mercenaries is really poor compared to the regular legion.

"If it were the cavalry sent by Frederick to protect us against the Eagle Wing Company, there might be a chance to fight back."

"Is it possible to win?"

Now that Sophia has woken up, Kalujie simply took this opportunity to reclean the little girl's wound, and the logistics troops who came in a hurry will bring a considerable amount of medicine to nourish her, and at this time, she must try to ensure that the wound will not be infected.

The little girl asked while grinning in pain.

"Theoretically...... If the number of people is equal, there should not be much of a chance. Giovanni, the forging craft in Vienna, also specifically mentioned to me that although the armor with small iron pieces nested was easy to repair and replace, the protection ability was not a little worse than that of our cavalry. If the quality of the weapons is comparable in the cavalry attack, the consideration is armor protection and combat skills. In this regard, the knights of the Phoenix Legion could not be worse than the noble soldiers of Vienna. ”

Frontal Fighting...... Or rather, the slaughter is not over, and before twilight completely falls, the mercenaries have a new round of nightmares.

When one of the commanders of the Phoenix Legion, Vasika Yevgeny, rushed through the city gates with a group of screaming Wallachian light horses, the war entered garbage time.

Perhaps the mercenaries could still escape in front of the other cavalry, but in the face of the Wallachians, they might not even be able to leave a single skeleton intact.

The process of improving the equipment of the Wallachian cavalry has been carried out all the time, but their improvement seems to have taken a detour...... If the original chain hook was just a simple attempt, the bone cutting scimitar they use now is simply a professional machine for making severed limbs.
