Chapter 309: Unexpected Gunshots

As the Duke of Gian had predicted, on the farthest stretch of the city wall from the tower, the Overseers of the Saxon Legion were already quietly signaling their soldiers to seize the opportunity to rush up to the tower and kill Charles VI.

The same was true of the Prussian Legion, where the appearance of Charles VI did give them a good chance to end the war as soon as possible, but instead of laying down their arms and leaving, they rushed to the castle tower and killed him directly!

Everyone knows that Charles VI is the most critical point in this battle, and even in this war, and once he dies, everything can be completely over.

The Saxon and Prussian soldiers, slowly clenching the blades in their hands, their eyes no longer confused, but gradually floating with a cold killing intent.

The defenders felt the change in the atmosphere, and their bodies gradually tensed, and they all watched the enemy soldiers in front of them vigilantly, ready to attack at any time.

The two sides are tense, and perhaps the next moment, the battle will break out again, and it will be more tragic and dangerous than the previous battle.

Perhaps the only person present who did not realize this tense atmosphere was Charles VI, who was waving his arms and giving a speech on the castle tower, and he felt very good about himself now, after all, he only drank the entire battlefield in a few words, and this kind of majesty can only be possessed by the emperor of the empire.

Just when Charles VI felt in good shape and wanted to say more, there was a sudden bang, and the sound of a musket suddenly appeared on the battlefield.

The sound sounded faint, as if it had come from far away, but the sound of gunfire was after all, and as soon as it appeared, it drowned out all the sounds on the battlefield and drew everyone's attention.

It was still raining heavily, and all the musketeers on both sides were dumb and unable to shoot at all, which was a surprising sound.

Charles VI froze there directly, although he did not fall down, nor did he make any gaffes, but he was still taken aback, and a layer of fine beads of sweat oozed from his back.

At that moment just now, he really thought that someone had shot him, no matter how confident he was, he would inevitably be a little lacking in confidence when facing death directly.

However, it was not Charles VI who fell, but a soldier in the Prussian army under the city walls.

The sound of the gunshot made Kylos a little stunned, and he turned his head to look in the direction where the gunshots came from, only to see that on the easternmost side of the Vienna city wall, a group of rapidly moving black shadows suddenly appeared.

There was a small bush over there, and the view was obscured by the rain curtain, and the bushes became blurry and indistinguishable, and Kylos had paid all his attention to the top of the Vienna city walls, so he didn't care about the surrounding situation.

But now, looking at the batches of black shadows that kept appearing, Kylos only felt a buzz in his head, and in an instant there were no thoughts, and only three words were left in his mind: "There are ambush soldiers?" ”

The black shadow appeared, and the crackling sound sounded like bursting beans, and the flames and green smoke rose, accompanied by the sound of bullets in the air, and the Prussian soldiers closest to the east fell like stubbles of wheat.

Kylos was stunned, and the fires and shadows in front of him swirled like a huge whirlpool, trying to suck him in.

The dream and reality overlapped, and the firelight in the dream last night seemed to appear in front of his eyes again, and it was gradually becoming a reality.

"There are ambushes! Evacuate! Prussian Legion! Fall back! ”

Fear overwhelmed him completely, and Kylos screamed in panic, his tone sharp and piercing, like a woman who had been raped, and at this moment, he had no majesty at all.

The general guarding Keilos looked at this scene in surprise, his general turned out to be a coward, and this matter was too depressing.

They could also see the ambushes that suddenly appeared, because of the rain curtain, it was not easy to grasp the number of ambushes, but by the intensity of the gunfire, it was possible to roughly come out that the number of ambushes would never exceed three thousand.

With only 3,000 soldiers, or relatively weak musketeers, with the strength of the Prussian legion now, they could withstand the pressure of these musketeers' attacks and forcibly capture the walls of Vienna.

When the time comes, it will be easy to turn around and deal with these ambushes.

But Kylos was so frightened that his eyes widened as if it were not a group of musketeers, but a group of demons who were about to drag him into the deepest part of hell.

Fear is like contagion, and although these generals have their own sanity, they are still frightened by Kylos's performance.

As a result, they issued orders to the Prussian soldiers at the front line to retreat, asking them to protect themselves as much as possible and evacuate from the city walls.

The Prussian soldiers seemed to be surprised by this situation, but they chose to obey the orders of their superiors and began to evacuate from the walls in an orderly manner.

Since Charles VI had stopped the fighting, the Prussian soldiers had evacuated very smoothly, and the defenders on the city walls did not stop them, after all, Charles VI had ordered a stop, and they had no reason to take the initiative to attack.

Duke Billund's side was not frightened by the ambush, on the one hand, because the ambush did not appear from his side first, on the other hand, Duke Billund was a lord who was not afraid of heaven and earth, even if he was the only one left in the battle, Duke Billund dared to raise his spear and rush towards the enemy.

After the gunfire rang out, he was also very decisive, and directly gave the order to his soldiers to continue the attack.

In this way, there were two completely different scenes on the battlefields on both sides, the Prussian soldiers were retreating in an orderly manner, but the Saxon soldiers were attacking, desperately trying to rush up the city wall and kill Charles VI.

Charles VI had retreated to the rear by this time, and returned the command of the battlefield to General Ike, who, as soon as he saw the state of the battle, immediately ordered a large number of soldiers to be mobilized from the eastern wall and joined the western battlefield to intercept the Saxons.

At the same time, he also left some soldiers on the eastern side of the battlefield, and was wary of the Prussians, although they had withdrawn from the walls, but it was also possible that the trick of Krylos was a trick, and General Ike would be wary of it.

Kylos's order was true, it was not easy to climb the walls, but it was easy to remove from them, and it was not long before the Prussian legions were away from the walls of Vienna and regrouped on the plain.
