Hearing this, Corleone immediately turned his horse's head and rode away without looking back.

Although the sound of the horn just now was a signal to retreat, but when he was about to meet the enemy, he actually fled directly without saying a word, which was simply not dignified at all, and he really looked like a mouse that had fled in the wilderness.

The little bit of respect that had just risen in the heart of Saxon Captain Klutus suddenly vanished, and he looked at Corleone's back and gritted his teeth and roared, "You damn coward! Despicable rats! Don't let me meet you again! ”

Corleone didn't hear it, for him, it was not a shame to follow the order to retreat, in fact, since the betrayal of Eugen, many things were not shameful for him.

For some reason, he has been branded a traitor, which means that he has voluntarily abandoned all chivalry and forgotten all the so-called glory and fame.

Now, he just wants to live, stay in Eugen's army, or witness Eugen become a living myth, or find an opportunity to stab Eugen to death with a sword.

How can a knight be as humble and lowly as he is?

However, after discarding those so-called chivalry, Corleone did not weaken much, but made him stronger, and the thoughts in his mind seemed to break through some long-standing limitations and enter some new realm.

After receiving the order to retreat, the infantry of the city guard immediately began to retreat in an orderly manner, but the Saxon cavalry had already surrounded them, and in the end, except for Corleone, who was on horseback, none of the others escaped, and all died around the first line of defense.

Corleone rode through the established evacuation route without any hindrance, and the people in the city guard knew something about his special 'soldier' and let him directly into the rear line.

According to the plan, those who retreated from the first line of defense did not need to participate in the garrison of the latter lines, and could directly return to the walls of the old city to guard.

This meant that Corleone would have a valuable break to regain his stamina that had been depleted by the Great War.

After the Saxon cavalry army broke through the first line of defense, they drove along the road towards the second line of defense, and the soldiers of the Longxiang army were already waiting at the second line of defense, and when they saw the enemy coming, the roar of new muskets resounded throughout the battlefield again.

The same 3,000 rounds of ammunition were emptied in a very short time, and then the Longxiang army retreated, and the infantry took over to defend the line against the charge of the Saxon cavalry corps.

Eugen's idea of 'positional warfare' was brought into play with great precision, and the Dragons' Army was like a blade that could be used repeatedly, scraping layers of bloody flesh from the Saxon Army again and again.

The five lines of defense in front and rear, the Saxon soldiers who fell in the hands of the Longxiang army could not be counted at all, and the infantry that replaced them in the rear caused extremely limited damage to the cavalry, and the attack on the Saxon cavalry corps mainly relied on the soldiers of the Longxiang army.

After the fifth round of defense, the Long Xiang army had already fired a full fifteen thousand rounds of ammunition, relying on just over a hundred soldiers to carry out such a wave of attacks, even in the modern battlefield of later generations, it was extremely rare.

The idea of positional warfare against cavalry is so impressive.

In these five successive battles, the losses of the defenders were only about 300 infantry who remained to block the enemy, while the losses of the Saxon cavalry corps amounted to more than 1,400 men, and the battle loss ratio was nearly 1 to 5.

By the time the Saxon soldiers rushed to the foot of the walls of the old town, the cavalry had lost its former majesty, and was as depressed as the setting sun.

On the other hand, on the side of the city guard, it is majestic and high, everyone's morale is high, and the strength of the Longxiang army makes them see the hope of victory, and the saxophone legion, which originally seemed to be powerful, now seems to be nothing more than that.

It's just that in the next battle to defend the city, Long Xiangjun had no way to participate in it anymore, after a few intensive shots in front of them, each of them had almost exhausted their physical strength to the limit, and their hands were trembling, not to mention aiming and shooting in this state, even if the bullet was loaded, it was a very difficult thing.

Moreover, in addition to the physical factor, their ammunition reserves have also reached a precarious point, the production capacity of the First Iron and Steel Plant is limited, the cumulative production of bullets in the past month has just been exhausted, and the remaining ammunition is divided equally among each person's head less than five.

These firepower alone will not provide much support on the battlefield, so their main task next is to rest and recuperate, and to protect Maria and Margaret and others.

In the event of a bad battle, the Dragons will use their remaining ammunition to open a breakthrough for Maria and her to flee from the city of Lyber.

This arrangement was a decision made by Eugen himself, and he did not want his friends to be hurt in any case.

Since then, the battle of the Long Xiang army has ended, and the remaining battles will be handed over to the guards on the walls of the old city.

It's just that after the attrition in front, the number of the city guards is less than 800 at the moment.

On the other hand, although the Saxon Legion suffered a heavy blow, the number remained at about 1,500 people, and the strength of the two sides was still very different.

The only good thing is that the guards are on the city walls and occupy the advantage of the location.

The Saxon legion is the strongest cavalry, and if the siege cavalry is to be dismounted, it will inevitably turn into infantry, which makes their overall combat power drop by a cut.

After the remaining 500 or so Saxon cavalry rushed to the bottom of the city wall, they dismounted and began to wait near the city wall, and the Saxon infantry in the rear, carrying large siege equipment, soon rushed to the front of the city wall.

The siege towers that had been seen once before reappeared, some of the infantry still carrying long ladders on their shoulders, and the Saxon muskets, with old flintlock muskets in their hands, walked in orderly steps to the front of the city walls, and began to shoot methodically.

Once again, the siege was raging, and the Saxon legions had already learned that the gates had been sealed, so the focus of their attack was on the city walls from the beginning.

Tariq decided to follow the ancient siege method, using far superior forces to the enemy, constantly storming the city walls, constantly putting strong pressure on the enemy, until he finally climbed the city walls and entered the city step by step.

This form of combat no longer considers other factors, the competition is a collision of flesh and blood, and whichever side can't hold on first will fall completely.
