Chapter 210 Storming the North Gate
The sound of horses' hooves tore through the already unquiet night, and the people of Bucharest were doomed to sleep in peace, first the people who lived in the south of the city were awakened by a burst of shouts of killing, and then on the central main road, the sound of horses' hooves made the residents on both sides irritated, and when they pushed open the window and wanted to shout loudly, they saw a team of fearless men running through the street.
They duly swallowed back the foul mouth that had rolled to their throats, closed the window again, climbed straight into bed, and fell back asleep as if nothing had happened, or at least they thought they had fallen asleep.
Hawk gave the horse another whip, they needed to rush to the north gate as fast as possible, maybe the north gate was not so heavily defended at this time.
Haig burst up from behind, and he said to Hawke, "Captain, we forgot something. ”
Hawke was startled, did he have something he didn't think about? He took his horse and turned to look at Haig, who continued, "We forgot about the city lord!"
"Hmph, do you think he can escape this rebellion? I'm afraid he is the initiator, don't worry about him, we must save ourselves now!" Hawke looked back in the direction of the City Lord's Mansion, it was quiet, not even the sound of a fight came out, no matter how you look at the City Lord, it is impossible not to know about it, otherwise, there should have been a fire there.
Haig also looked back in the direction of the City Lord's Mansion, the calm over there made him come to the same conclusion as Hawke, he turned his head and added a whip, no longer thinking about the City Lord who might not have rebelled.
"Lord of the city, do you hear? The guards are like horse thieves, running around the city gates, you listen, how soft the sound of the horses' hooves, but unfortunately, all the city guards in this city are under my control, they are now caged birds, even if they have wings, they can't fly out of Bucharest at all!" Don Quixote smiled and took two steps forward, continuing to persuade the city lord to surrender.
"Don Quixote, you have little wishful thinking!" the city lord's voice, though still very strong, betrayed his true thoughts with a trembling voice.
Don Quixote was also anxious in his heart, the sound of horses' hooves coming from the central main road was obviously far beyond his prediction, he didn't expect those guards to abandon the south gate and turn their heads to attack the north gate, fortunately, no matter which direction these guards went, they were all facing the soldiers of the city guards who were guarding the city.
"City Lord, what about me, I don't want to continue to talk nonsense with you here, give you five numbers, why don't you give me an explanation, what, my soldiers will personally come to you and take it away. Don Quixote raised his right hand high, and the dozen or so guards guarding in front of the city lord all unconsciously took a step back.
"One!" Don Quixote's index finger bent down, and without waiting for the city lord to say anything, Don Quixote's middle finger also bent down: "Two!"
The lord of the castle seemed to be thinking, and he said in vain: "Don Quixote, I need to think about it, don't ......"
"Three!" Don Quixote didn't pay any attention to the city lord at all, and his ring finger was bent down.
"Slow ......"
"Four!"
The city lord shouted again: "Stop immediately, I'm thinking about it!"
"Five!" Don Quixote's five fingers clenched into fists.
"I agree to surrender!" the lord finally shouted.
Unfortunately, at the moment he shouted, Don Quixote's hand also waved, and the twenty or thirty archers standing behind Don Quixote ran out of line and fired the first round of arrows at the warriors guarding the city lord.
Don Quixote didn't look at the results of the shot, he turned and left, and before he left, he said a word, the voice was silent, but the whole audience heard: "Unfortunately, it's too late!" and then heard a "plop" of crossbow arrows burrowing into the body.
Under the first round of fire, the city lord's guards were all shot in the chest, and when they fell weakly, the city lord stood alone, and he muttered, "Don't shoot, I surrender!" When he saw twenty or thirty crossbows pointed at him, he finally shouted: "Don't shoot! I'll throw ......."
Unfortunately, although he shouted surrender, no one came to surrender, twenty or thirty crossbow arrows flew out of the crossbow machine and flew into his body under the strong impetus of the crossbow strings, and at the moment when he fell to the ground in despair, he said: "Surrender!"
Hawke reined in the war horse at a stone's throw away from the north city gate, and the five hundred city guards stationed at the north gate set up three rejection horses in front of the city gate hole, and there were three rows of pikemen with spears in their hands in front of the rejection of the horses, they were half-squatting on the ground, and the spears with a length of three meters and seventy-five in their hands were pointed diagonally to the sky, and the tail of the spears was inserted into the ground, which was a standard infantry spear formation against cavalry.
There's no way, it seems that this Don Quixote still has some ability, he has already organized the defense of the city at the first time, and the opposite of the defense is still in the city, which means that the enemy only comes from the inside, and the city can be called the enemy, I'm afraid there is only one team like their fifteenth squad, right?
Until now, only the south and north of the city have broken out, which means that Don Quixote had controlled all the troops very well before the incident.
Hawke turned back to his subordinates and said, "Guys, it seems that we are going to work hard today, let us rush out of this besieged city!"
"Whew!" The soldiers behind him were not discouraged by the blockage of their path, but their morale was weak.
"Haig, send the flag flower, let the fourth class move closer to us, we need every ounce of strength," Hawk said to Haig.
Haig took out a firework from his arms, lit the fuse, and threw it into the air, and the fireworks flew into the air under the impetus of the fire magic, exploding a brilliant pattern, not to mention the fourth class in the south of the city, I am afraid that it can be seen clearly within five miles outside the city.
Hawke was about to give the order to rush forward, but before he could give the order, the first squad leader had already taken his first squad leader to the parallel road in front of the city gate, which could only accommodate four people in parallel, and Hawke wanted to say something, the first squad leader had already shouted: "Captain, let me open a path of life for everyone!"
Hawke originally wanted to let the first squad rush this spear formation, and in the fifteenth squad, the strongest ability to deal with this kind of hedgehog was the first class, and at this time, the first squad really did not disappoint him.
The first squad leader divided the first squad into two combat groups, each group of five people, with a distance of fifty meters between the two groups, he himself led the first group, the deputy squad leader led the second group, and his team members were exactly lined up in a line of four people, and he was slightly behind, how to rush into battle, no need for him to remind him, everyone has practiced countless times.
In this short 100-meter place, a squad leader and his team members can just raise the speed of the horses to the highest, when the impact of the war horses reaches the highest point, they wear steel vest chests and the opponent's slender spears collide fiercely, the middle two war horses instantly rose up with manpower, and the four spears stabbed in their chests were broken, but their impact energy was too great, and the two horses fell to the ground heavily, probably hurting their hind legs, and the two horses could not get up for a long time.
The knights on their bodies did not fall with them, but leaped high from their horses, their scimitars swinging into a snow-white lotus flower in front of their chests, and the spears that stabbed at them with three or four strokes were torn to pieces by their blades.
The other two team members, their horses, were able to withstand the reaction of the impact, the scimitars in the hands of the two team members swung down the momentum from diagonally above and the weight of the scimitar itself, and the two pikemen who stood in front of them were seriously injured and fell to the ground, although the space behind them was narrow, but the two cavalrymen squeezed into it.
They had to make room for the warriors who followed, or they would only be crushed into a pulp between the spear on their chest and the galloping horse behind their back.
After they squeezed in, the few infantry in the middle could only squeeze into the middle, and the two cavalrymen had lost their speed, they were on their horses, brandishing their sabers, and the tips of the spears stretched out in the two rows behind them were cut off to clear the way for the follow-up cavalry, while the middle two, who stepped on the shoulders of the enemy, had rushed behind them.
They did not look back to kill the pikemen in the last row, they switched from cavalry to infantry, and pounced directly on the repulsive horses, relying on their strong bodies, trying to push the rejecting horses away and clear a way for their comrades behind.
When the pikemen in the third row were still struggling with whether to reflexively kill the two guys who had rushed into their battle line, or continue to defend the cavalry behind, the squad leader had already killed in front of them, and the spears in the hands of several people in front of them had all been broken, and they now only had a gun shaft of less than a meter or so in their hands.
The two soldiers in the first row were knocked into the air, and their flying bodies became two projectiles mixed with iron and flesh, knocking down all the soldiers in the two rows behind, and the first squad leader directly penetrated their line.
The first squad leader also did not reflexively rush to kill, he put away the scimitar, took off a lasso from his back, flickered around twice on the top of his head, and directly lassoed a branch of a rejecting horse, and the two soldiers who had rushed in immediately came to help, and the three horses piled up, and finally put the rejecting horse pile in the center to the side of the road.
The soldiers of the city guards in the cave of the city gate had already swarmed out of the cave of the city gate at the moment when the two soldiers who had turned into infantry rushed to resist the horse, and in any case, they also had five hundred men, and they all piled up these cavalry to death.
The second group of the first squad finally charged on the small group of spearmen, and the spearmen who had lost their spears, and their defense was not yet archers, only this time, their formation was completely scattered, and the two warriors who were crowded on the side of the road were liberated at the same time, and they followed the second group to rush through the horse rejection line, and crashed straight into the city guards who were organizing the third line of defense.
Hawk, of course, they couldn't have stopped all the time waiting for a shift to open the way for them, and they accelerated at the same time at the first time, forming a third wave of impact lines.
After the squad leader pushed away the rejection of the horses, he directly led a squad of eight people with horses to hit the city guards, and the two part-time infantrymen could only find a hiding place by themselves, otherwise, they would only be overwhelmed by their own horses, and even if they could avoid a squad of war horses, there was still a whole platoon of war horses behind them that they needed to dodge, as for whether they could dodge, they could only obey God's arrangement.
When the fourth squad rushed to the south gate, they and Hawke encountered the same problem, the opponent's pikemen had sealed the street, and behind them, there were two hundred people pressing up little by little, it was impossible for ten of them to fight against seven hundred people, there was only one way to go, that is, to run, according to the strategy designed before, they immediately ran to the east gate.
