Finally, the team touched the edge of the gate of the old city, dug small holes in the weak places of the city gate with their weapons, and stuffed the cloth bags into them.

The gates of the city of Lybor were framed in fine iron, filled with logs, cotton, and sand to cushion the force.

The gate can only be lifted by using the wheel inside, and it takes ten strong men with big shoulders and round waists to turn the wheel each time, and normally even elephants can't break through a door.

At this time, Eugen finally saw the Saxon soldiers who were busy working at the city gate, and a bad premonition suddenly flashed in his heart, and out of cautious habit, he raised his hand and ordered in a loud voice: "Musket team, block the city gate, once the other party breaks through the city gate, you are responsible for blocking it." ”

There were also nearly 200 musketeers with old-fashioned flintlock muskets in the garrison, and these 200 soldiers could be quite powerful when they formed a formation.

"Hehe, this Count Eugen is too careful, the gate of Lybor City has never been breached in my memory, how can the other party break through." One of the squad leaders of the musket team said disdainfully.

Since the establishment of the Longxiang Army, the status of the musket team has dropped by half, and the soldiers of each musket team are eager to join the Longxiang army, but the number of Longxiang troops is limited, and the soldiers who cannot join have some complaints.

"yes." An ordinary soldier of the musketeer team continued: "I don't think he can command at all, but he dropped us at a critical moment in the battle on the city wall, and I think the city wall is about to be breached." ”

After all, the musketeers finally followed the order and stood behind the city gates, looking boredly at the empty doorway in front of them.

At this moment, a loud bang suddenly sounded from outside the city gate, and a huge cloud of smoke and dust was splashed.

There was also a puff of dust spewing out of the doorway, looking like smoke from a huge chimney, and it seemed as if an ancient giant was kicking the iron-framed gate with his big feet.

Every member of the musketeers was stunned by this scene, and they also had some bad premonition in their hearts, as if some terrible catastrophe was about to befall them.

Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!

A continuous explosion sounded outside the city gates, and the smoke became more and more, and even the section of the city wall above the city gate became shaky, as if it was about to collapse and break.

"Gunpowder! They used gunpowder! At this time, there was not only someone in the musket team who suddenly shouted such a sentence, which woke up the puzzled people.

Indeed, in this world, I am afraid that only gunpowder can have such terrifying power.

If one were in the doorway at this time, one could see that the iron frame of the gate had been completely twisted and deformed, and the wood inside had been broken into a dozen sections, and the cotton wrapped around it had been burned, and some sand had flowed out of it and piled up small piles of sand on the ground.

Bang!

This was the loudest roar so far, the violent sound shook the heavens and the earth, the walls seemed to tremble a little, and the two siege engines on the city walls shook violently, and the Saxon soldiers above stood unsteadily, and were suddenly shaken down to the ice of the moat below like dumplings.

In the midst of the loud noise, some cracks appeared on the thick ice surface of the moat, and some river water surged up along the cracks, and was blown by the cold wind and immediately turned into ice slurry.

Boom~ With a piercing grinding sound, the roar of some kind of heavy object falling on the ground came from the door hole in the city wall, and the musketeers guarding the door looked ahead in amazement......

"Knights of Sarkosen! Charge! ”

The rumbling sound sounded like a flash flood in the distance, and Eugen stood at the head of the city and looked ahead with a solemn expression, only to see that at the end of the new city, a white knight order was roaring along the streets of the city.

Eugen had already noticed these cavalry of Saxony before, and at that time he wondered why he had to prepare cavalry even though it was a siege battle, but now he understood that the other party had planned to break through the city gate early in the morning.

"Damn, first formation, throw powder kegs, concentrate fire on the moat in front of the city gates!" The threat of those cavalry is too great, and the number is at least five hundred, once these cavalry all rush to the city, they will not be defended, and it is better to surrender directly.

"Also, tell the Long Xiang team to get ready." Although I don't want to expose the Long Xiang team too early, but now that it has reached the critical time of life and death, it is too stupid to hide it.

"Oh roar roar roar~" The Saxon cavalry let out a strange howl from their throats, and these soldiers who still had brute instinct were charging, and there was also a wild momentum, like an unstoppable beast tide.

In the blink of an eye, the cavalry vanity swept past the infantry and rushed to the front of the moat, trampling on the ice and killing inside the city gates.

Bang Bang Bang! There was a popping sound like a bean, and the cavalry was met with a head-on attack as soon as they entered the city gates, and Eugen's pre-arranged musket team played a role, like a strong wall, to contain the advance of the Saxon cavalry.

These cavalrymen rushed too fast, and even if they were hit by bullets, they could rush forward about six or seven meters along the inertia.

The cavalry rushing forward provided cover for those behind them, and the cavalry pushed inside little by little, and it seemed that they were about to rush to the inside of the city gate.

At this moment, another series of loud noises emerged like thunder on the ground, and countless sounds converged into an undulating loud sound, boom! Boom!

The soldiers who were close were buzzing in their heads, and for a moment they almost lost their minds, forgetting where they were and what was going on.

This time it was a powder keg thrown by the city guard, and the second round of explosions was concentrated near the city gate, enveloping the Saxon cavalry that was crowded there.

Under such power, it is impossible for people and horses to survive, and the terrifying shock force of a single frequency can shatter all the internal organs of a person to pieces.

Wow...... A rain of blood splashed in front of the city gates, accompanied by the scorching smell of gunpowder burning flesh.

However, the Saxon cavalry was truly brave, and even in the face of such a scene, they still rushed towards the city gates, and some even rushed headlong into the flames, and then rushed out of the flames like soldiers out of hell and killed the city.

Under this charge, the powder kegs could not be stopped, and the Saxon cavalry finally rushed into the inner walls of the city and began to engage the musketeers at close range.

In a short period of time, nearly 100 soldiers rushed into the inside of the city walls, causing great chaos at once.

"Powder keg, keep throwing it for me, and drop the third round too!" The situation was critical, and Eugen didn't care about anything else, so he immediately ordered.

After another round of bombardment, the ice surface of the moat, which had already cracked, finally broke into pieces with a burst of explosions.
