"We're besieging the city, you know! Besiege!! Timasong shouted angrily: "The heavy infantry can't go up, they can't take this city, they saved their lives, it's useless!" Just go! Just go!! ”

Timasong watched as the heralds crossed the moat and ran towards the light infantry, before he turned his gaze and swept the ground beneath the city, where corpses lay on the ground, as well as struggling and wailing soldiers, mercenaries and Cremisians......

Timasong had seen too many such images, and before coming to Great Greece, they had just been under the command of Tiburon, and they had been fighting siege warfare against Larissa in Asia Minor for several months, and he knew the difficulty of the siege. It's just that he has no other way than this onslaught, and time is the key to success for him.

"Be careful, Chief!" The shouts of his subordinates made him subconsciously quickly hide his head under the round shield, only to hear the sound of the "bell", the back of his hand shook, and an arrow hit the shield surface, and bounced again.

As soon as he exhaled, he heard "Ah! Yes! The scream was followed by a loud "boom".

He didn't need to look, he also knew that the siege ladder must have been pushed down by the enemy, and the irritability in his heart began to grow.

…………………

"General, the enemy's light infantry is coming!" The panicked shouts of the citizen soldiers sent a tread in Orikputh's heart.

The light infantry that had been in front of the moat had quickly moved under the city walls, and compared to the poor archery skills of the untrained Klingmisa citizens, the bows and arrows of these enemies were accurate and ruthless, and most of the casualties of the citizens in the city were soon caused by them.

"Leave the enemy on the ladder alone, focus on the light infantry for me!" He ran along the city's aisles and gave orders to the archers.

"The enemy is coming up again!" The panicked shouts of the soldiers made him pause, not far away a mercenary had already stood on the battlements, in the face of the spear that stabbed, he used a shield to protect his upper body, and jumped forward with all his might, the spear not only failed to stab him, but was pressed under him by him, he did not get up immediately, but quickly used his right hand to slash the saber indiscriminately, and several nearby citizen soldiers were slashed by him in the thigh without protection, screaming and falling. He got up, but instead of taking advantage of the chaos, he retreated to the entrance of the long ladder, crouched down with his back to the battlements, and covered his whole body with a round shield.

The spears of the soldiers did not hurt him much, but he did not dare to approach for fear of his saber sticking out from under his shield and slashing his feet, and in the midst of this delay, another mercenary went up to the battlements.

"Push it on! Plug them up! "Eurikpus arrived with the reserves, and the dense spear stabbing drove the enemy into a corner.

"Pick off their shields!" As soon as Orik Puz finished speaking, the soldier next to him let out a terrible scream, and a javelin pierced his ribs.

The light infantry under the city did their best to support their comrades who were besieging the city, and bows and arrows and javelins were concentrated on this section of the city, and the heavy infantry also accelerated the speed of climbing the city.

Orikpus urgently mobilized all the remaining forces to block the blockade, and after a fierce fighting between the two sides, the mercenaries were driven down, but this section of the aisle was full of wounded and dead Crimean citizens.

In the face of such a group of obviously experienced and bloodthirsty and ferocious enemies, each breakthrough will cause a lot of damage to the defending soldiers, Orikpus felt a little powerless, and his manpower began to tighten: "Go and inform General Antaoris that the enemy has invested all their strength in the northern city!" It's almost impossible to hold on here, let him send reinforcements! ”

Antaoris has no troops to send. However, since the enemy was always storming the north and west, the troops responsible for the defense of the east had been idle in this time of crisis.

Antaoris immediately made a decision: he sent someone to inform General Pleades to immediately lead the troops stationed in the eastern city to reinforce Eurikpurs.

"Leader of Timason! Leader of Timazon! ......" The herald dodged the arrows and hurried towards Timason: "The enemy on the eastern wall has left!" ”

"I've seen it!" There was a bit of excitement in Timason's tone: "Go tell Torricos and let him act immediately!" ”

"Yes!"

Watching the herald leave, Timasong immediately raised his arms and shouted, "Brothers, work harder!" Attack with me! The enemy is running out! After saying that, he took the round shield, several strides to the long ladder, grabbed the wooden ladder with his right hand, the soldier of the ladder held his hips, and sent it up vigorously, he rushed up several squares along the way, and the soldiers in front had entered the city wall, he used both hands and feet, and soon came to the top of the long ladder, quickly drew his saber, stepped on the battlements, shielded his chest, ignored the spear and sword, and jumped forward with all his might, and slammed the enemy with the force, and the saber in his hand also slashed forward at the same time.

"Back to back! Back to back! He shouted as he chopped.

The mercenary who had cowered in the corner immediately approached.

Inspired by Timasson's leading soldiers, the mercenaries launched another onslaught, and they broke through many parts of the northern wall, and if it were not for the reinforcement of Pleades and his troops, the garrison of Eurikpurs could no longer support it.

The two sides fought fiercely in the corridors, and the Crimesa were ready to drive the mercenaries out of the city again due to the influx of reinforcements.

At this time, there was a huge commotion in the east.

"The enemy is coming! The enemy is coming! ......" shouted the citizen soldiers in panic.

Orikpus hurriedly turned his head to look east, only to see a number of enemy light shield soldiers with leather shields and back-bladed knives rushing down the aisle of the east wall.

Eurikpus didn't have time to think about how these men had climbed the wall, so he hurriedly asked Pleades to lead reinforcements back to intercept them, but the two sides fought in the aisles, and it was difficult to draw troops.

However, the Thracian light shield soldiers of the mercenaries attacked quite quickly, they broke into the crowd, and in the small space the long-handled counter-bladed knives exerted a terrifying killing power, and the sharp blades hooked the hands and feet, and the muscles and bones were cut off; If you get caught in the neck with a blade, you will have your blood vessels cut off...... The Crimean citizen soldiers fell in an instant, frightening them to retreat, while the light shield soldiers chased after them like maggots attached to the bones, and the nearby mercenaries also took advantage of the chaos to climb the city......

The easternmost part of the defensive line of the entire northern city of Crimesa had been breached, and the experienced mercenary soldiers drove the defeated Crimean citizen soldiers to the west......

In the crowded walkway, panicked Cremis pushed each other in order to flee for their lives, and some fell directly from the inside of the city walls......

Euricpops and Preades were also panicked when they saw this tragic scene, and they were afraid of this fate, so they retreated from the city tower in a hurry, causing the mercenaries to easily go to the city and occupy the corridor near the city gate, blocking countless Cremish people in the corridor......

The mercenaries slaughtered mercilessly, forcing more Crimisza to jump off the walls......

Antaoris, who had been organizing and coordinating the defense under the city, saw this tragic scene and listened to the continuous screams of the citizens, and his heart was painful. But at this critical moment, he must also hold back his grief and arrange for the withdrawn citizen soldiers and civilians to retreat to the acropolis south of the city for the final defense.

The mercenaries occupied the northern city, opened the city gates, and the soldiers from outside the city poured in......

"Chief, we are victorious! We took the city! His men held Timasong and shouted with joy.

Timason was stabbed in the thigh and had a knife wound in his right arm, if it wasn't for the enemy's self-collapse, he would probably die under the spear, and he was also very excited at this moment: "It should be said that we also own a city!" He said triumphantly. The mercenaries were able to capture the city walls thanks to the success of his scheme: in the Dionian League, under his careful inquiry, his former comrades-in-arms told him in detail the details of the capture of Amendolara, let him know the rope hook, a special siege machine, and obtained its sketches, and he successively sent people to the blacksmith shop in Heraclia to make dozens of pieces. During the siege, he deliberately stormed the west and north sides, and once he forced the Crimezans defending the east to come to their aid (with the Wembria River to the south), he asked Tolikos to lead dozens of trained light shield soldiers with rope hooks to slip under the east wall, even if they were discovered, they did not carry a siege ladder, and would not attract the attention of the enemy. In this way, the light shieldmen climbed the walls with rope hooks and dealt a fatal blow to the Crimesa.

After Timason's departure from the city, he joined up with Criano, who had captured Simon, and commanded the mercenaries to continue the pursuit of the router.

At first everything went well, but gradually the mercenaries broke free and began to break into homes, loot property, and even take women prisoner......

Timasong was furious, not because he was against looting, but because the fighting was not over yet, and it was reported that the remnants of the Crimesa were hiding on the acropolis, and they had to take it in one fell swoop and completely occupy the whole city in order to celebrate the victory.

But the mercenaries, who were in a state of excitement, acted on instinct and refused to follow his orders. Timason had the same feelings as Davers had at the moment, and he knew that it would be useless, but he still scolded and vented his resentment.

"Chief, they are all in the Acropolis anyway, and they can't escape, so we will block the Acropolis, and when the soldiers are done making trouble, we will regroup them and take the Acropolis." Torricos reassured.

"I'm not worried about the Crimeans, I'm worried about Crotone!" Timasong said anxiously.

"Even when we were attacking the city, Crimea asked for reinforcements from Crotone, but the messenger arrived in Crotone, and after discussion in the council, a decision was made, and the army was mobilized, and rushed here...... With so many processes, when they come here, it will be evening at the earliest. I don't believe that the Crotone had the guts of Davers to attack the city at night! And we have already taken the whole city of Crimesa, and the messengers sent are probably already in the Dionian Senate. By the time Crotone attacks tomorrow, Davers and they should have already made their decision. Criano gave him a serious analysis.
