"Reinforcements are coming!" Jenus shouted excitedly. Because he knew that when reinforcements came, he didn't have to die.

It's not that he is unwilling to surrender, but in Europe, surrender is also particular. If it is a national war, and the officers surrender to the enemy country, it is nothing. Because, on the other side is also a big noble. It is simply an unspoken rule for the nobles to surrender and spend money to redeem themselves.

However, there is one situation in which you cannot surrender, and that is in the face of traitors. Because, once you surrender to the traitor, you are tantamount to joining the ranks of the rebels. This situation will not be easily forgiven by its own monarch. This is because there are disputes between countries, and today we will fight tomorrow. But between the king and the traitor, it is a life-and-death relationship, and it is not allowed to surrender to the other party.

Therefore, before Jenas counted his fate hanging by a thread, he refused to surrender Jones. Because, once he surrenders Jones, not to mention that the knighthood promised by Edward before will fly, he will also be finished. You know, Edward has always been unforgivable for rebellion.

Under the influence of Jenas, the recruits of the first and second phalanxes of the new army of the Praetorian Guard also cheered.

Jones, on the other side, was a little dumbfounded:

"What's going on? Where are the reinforcements? Could it be that the Basque Country, a third party, is leading the attack on us? No, the soldiers in their phalanx are all rubbish, who gave them the guts? ”

Until now, Jones and the others didn't know where this support army came from. Moreover, this group of guys is black after all, and they have no military literacy at all. If it were a normal general, he would definitely send out scouts to scout the streets. When the enemy appears behind him, the information can be sent back without waiting for the other party to arrive......

But Jones and the others used to be gangster bosses in the dark, and they didn't have that kind of military literacy at all. So, it wasn't until the enemy was behind him that he found the other party......

The most ridiculous thing is that until now, Jones did not know that the enemy behind him was the regular army. I saw that he ordered without care:

"Let the brothers in the back turn around, hack those pieces of waste, and don't affect our attack on the Tower of London!"

Jones then proceeded to lead the men in the direction of the Tower of London......

"Nima, there is a large army attacking behind you, and you still have the heart to move forward?" Jenus was dumbfounded. He also thought that the other side would immediately turn around and prepare for battle to resist the regular army behind......

But at this time, he can't retreat. Because, his performance, the regular Praetorian Guards at the head of the city watched.

So, he gritted his teeth and said:

"Brothers, the enemy is cornered. They are now in their death throes, follow me and fend off their last attack! If we succeed in holding them off, His Majesty will reward us! Don't lose the credit that is about to come! ”

Listening to Janus's encouragement, coupled with the earth-shattering shouts of killing from the other side of the street, the recruits of the Praetorian Guard, who had always been very cowardly, actually burst out with great courage and fought with the men in black who rushed over. Of course, with the Tower of London in the background, they had nowhere to retreat.

Moreover, at this time, many torches were lit on the walls of the Tower of London. The core guards of the Praetorian Guard at the head of the city also opened their bows and shot at those men in black. For a while, with the help of the bows and arrows shot from the head of the city, the recruits of the two phalanxes under the city actually resisted the attack of the man in black.

Jones had originally planned to carry two slices of knives and join the warband in person, especially to deal with Janus, who was already injured. As soon as Jenas died, the Praetorian Guard recruits under the city could collapse.

However, before he could step forward, there was a tsunami-like shouting of killing from behind. Moreover, it is not like it comes from your own hands.

Why? Because the shouts and killing voices of the black-clothed swordsmen are more chaotic. And the shouting and killing sound from behind is very uniform, like a ......

"Is it the regular army?" Jones's heart trembled.

"Shouldn't it, aren't the regular troops all going north?" Although Jones had no military command skills, he still knew about the death of the regular army of England. In order to supervise the regular army, he sent more than 100 men to follow along the way, keeping a dead eye on the regular army of England on the march. If the regular army returns, someone will definitely come back to report it, and it is impossible that there is no news at all. Because of this, he didn't believe what Janus said about reinforcements. Because, Edward's regular army is under his watch.

However, the shouts and killings in the back became louder and louder, and they were uniform...... Jones thought about it, but still led people to drill through the crowd and come to the moving tall buildings near the end of the street to observe the battle.

However, this observation startled Jones......

Because the men in black were not fought with the Praetorian Guards wearing white rose costumes (the white roses symbolizing the York dynasty), but the regular army uniforms of the large battalion west of the city wearing red cross vests on a white background (Marin's army wore black cross vests on a white background, but if they were in the service of England, the officers of the Fifth Regiment were changed to wear red cross waistcoats on a white background similar to the "St. George's Cross Flag" that symbolized England).

"It can't be! Didn't those men in red cross and white vests go to Scotland? Where did these people come from? William, didn't you hear anything? Jones yelled at William, the leader of the men in black, who was in charge of monitoring England's main army.

"What's the news? The day before yesterday, I also received news that Edward's army was attacking the Scottish border, and there was nothing unusual...... "William, the intelligence chief of the men in black, was also confused.

"Yes, what about more than a hundred intelligence officers, it is impossible for them to be concealed, so the army in front of you, is it that they are disguised to scare people? In fact, it is a fake regular army? Jones muttered to himself.

But soon, he didn't dare to think so. Because, he saw with his own eyes - this army wearing a red cross vest on a white background defeated his men in black swordsman......

The soldiers of the Fifth Legion, who rushed to the front, were a group of sword and shield soldiers, who held a single knife in one hand and a wooden round shield covered with iron sheet in the other, and bravely rushed towards the black-clothed swordsmen who were armed with blades.

Unlike ordinary sword and shield soldiers, this group of sword and shield soldiers does not hold a sword in their right hand and a shield in their left hand. The way of fighting is also not to use the left hand shield to block the enemy's attack, and the right hand knife to attack the enemy. Their way of fighting is to hold a shield in their right hand and a sword in their left. Moreover, they hold shields in their right hands, not to block enemy attacks, but to smash people with wooden shields......

Yes, this group of sword and shield soldiers held a shield in their right hand, just to hold a wooden shield in their right hand, and smashed the black-clothed swordsmen with a shield wrapped in iron sheets......

"Bang-"

"Bang—"

……

A dull collision sound came, and those black-clothed swordsmen were directly smashed - what kind of play is this?

The Fifth Army sent this group of sword and shield soldiers to fight the vanguard, and their arm strength was relatively large. They held heavier log shields and smashed them hard at the bewildered black-clad swordsmen. Those black-clothed swordsmen were at a loss for what to do, so they had to hastily swing their knives to resist. However, these log shields are nailed to the iron skin, and they are not afraid of slices at all. And under the strong kinetic energy, many of the swordsmen in black were directly knocked away. In time, the knife was not knocked off, and the knife was also smashed to the side, making the man in black unstable with the knife.

At this time, these sword and shield soldiers, who seemed to be weak, stretched out their one-handed straight swords......

Unlike the scimitars held in the right hand of ordinary sword and shield soldiers, those scimitars are mainly used to cut people. And the left-handed knives used by this special sword and shield soldier are all straight knives, and the blade head is also sharp.

Why use this straight knife? Because Crete, the man who invented this sword and shield tactic, believed that the left hand was not strong enough, and he did not have enough strength to cut people with a knife. If you fight with the enemy's sword, you may be knocked away.

For this reason, he simply let the sword and shield soldier use a straight knife in his left hand and directly use a stab. Because, Crete once heard Marin say that the greatest damage of a sword to a person is to stab, not to slash. In addition, if you hold a shield in your right hand and smash your opponent's weapon away, the enemy will open the door wide, and it is also convenient to stab the enemy with a knife in your left hand. In addition, under normal circumstances, these sword and shield soldiers can also switch between left and right hands, and change to the regular left-handed shield block, and right-hand knife slashing or stabbing......

Sure enough, after the swordsmen in black in the front row were smashed away, the empty doors in front of the black-clothed swordsmen were wide open. The sword and shield soldiers of the Fifth Legion took the opportunity to stab the enemy in the chest with their left-handed knives......

"Poof—"

"Ahh

……

The knife went into the flesh, screaming again and again......

The black-clothed people holding one-handed knives were seriously suppressed by this unconventional way of playing. Then, thousands of people in black were forced to retreat again and again on the streets of Data Street......

General Clichy rode on his horse, looked at the great battle situation in front of him, and said excitedly:

"Crete, your plan is really working!"

And Crete, the commander of the sword and shield soldiers, said modestly:

"That's your lord, you are good at admonishment, and besides, these men in black only use one-handed knives and don't use shields, so they give us a great opportunity!"

Crete was right, if the men in black were also armed with wooden shields, they would naturally not be beaten so badly. However, these black-clothed swordsmen, who are accustomed to gangster fights, are more accustomed to the one-handed knife commonly used in the fight of underground forces, and are not used to holding shields. Therefore, this time they were defeated by this unconventional tactic, and they were unable to resist.

In addition, the sword and shield soldiers of the Fifth Legion are well-trained, skillful in cooperating with each other, and know how to work as a team. Therefore, under the impact of hundreds of unconventional sword and shield soldiers, thousands of black-clothed people were defeated and retreated by hundreds of people......
