Chapter 701: Second Contact
"It's over! We're finished! ”
The soldiers choked, but the galloping horses had made them unable to stop, and Andrew was among them, looking at the Alemanni soldier with a javelin on his shoulder, he felt that time had slowed down a lot.
His ears seemed to be deaf, or the whole person was stunned, like remorse, helpless, like fish on the board to be slaughtered.
"Brush, brush, brush..."
The javelins swept in, and the horses fell to the ground with wounded and wailing, and fell to the hard ground along with the cavalry above.
Andrew fortunately raised his shield when the javelin was about to cover his face, only to hear two "dangdang" sounds, and then raised his head, and two sharp landmark spear heads appeared on the shield.
Before he could think of what he would do next, he only heard a shock in his lower body, followed by the wailing of the war horse, and in an instant, Andrew felt as if an irresistible force pushed him away, and he fell to the wet mud before he could scream.
It was not proper to land, not to mention that Andrew, who had a blank head and didn't know anything, slammed into the protruding shield, he only felt that his head was blank, and then his forehead and nose were a handful of blood mixed with dirt.
"Damn it!"
Andrew cursed, struggling to his feet, wiping the blood that was oozing from his face with his fairly clean cuffs.
The cavalry behind him kept falling beside him, and many of them broke their necks because they fell off their horses, and they lost their breath in an instant. The momentum of the Roman cavalry attack was suppressed in an instant, and it was even powerless to return to the sky.
But even so, the sound of horses' hooves continued to echo in Andrew's ears, and it became more and more harsh.
Andrew looked up again at this time, and was surprised to find that the Alemanni cavalry was crossing behind the infantry formation, like two sharp spears piercing the weakest rear of the Roman army.
"Damn it! Damn it! ”
Andrew yelled and cursed, grabbing a handful of dirt from the ground and slamming it against his wound, trying to seal the bleeding wound with it.
Throwing down his shield, he picked up his iron sword and shouted, "Defend yourself!" Back to defense! ”
But even when Andrew was hoarse, his voice was quickly drowned out by the noisy sound of horses' hooves, and it became so mixed that the soldiers in front of him could not hear him at all.
When the Roman infantry were awakened by the sound of horses' hooves behind them, it was too late to turn back, and the Alemanni cavalry crossed through and tore the line of archers among them to pieces.
It's like two sharp knives stuck in the ribs. The Alemanni cavalry scattered the archers and did not stop, and then rushed into the line of the field regiments on both sides, instantly shattering the two field regiments with irresistible force, and people on the fixed line kept knocking the horses to the ground, and the Alemanni cavalry was unstoppable in the chaos and swept everything.
"Two columns of defense! Two columns of defense! ”
The commanders of the field regiment in the center of the army raised their iron swords and shouted loudly, and the soldiers behind immediately turned their spears and shields to defend against the cavalry coming from behind, and now they were in a dilemma.
"Damn it! Damn it! ”
Seeing the infantry completely surrounded, Andrew couldn't bear it, he endured the pain and picked up a sludge-stained spear from the mud, and then beckoned more than twenty cavalrymen to pounce on the Alemanni cavalry who were constantly gnawing at the infantry line.
"They're really smart, at least they understand that Andrew's weakness is the citizens behind them."
Standing on the city wall, Ankus muttered to himself as he looked back at the shivering citizens huddled in the city streets. He couldn't understand why Luga was doing everything he could to protect the citizens of the city.
"Lord Duke, there are so many people, it may take two days to withdraw them all, but now it has only been half a day, and now the barbarians have discovered us, and their attack is so rapid."
"Why are they so slow?" Ankus asked rhetorically, "It stands to reason that there aren't that many citizens, and they can't be so slow. ”
"Because each person had so many things to carry, a nobleman even had multiple carriages, and this was only a part of their property."
"Damn, I didn't forget those burdens when I ran away." Ankus glanced at Andrew, who was fighting outside, shook his head, and asked, "So where is Caesar, and what does he mean?" ”
"Caesar is in the city, he hasn't been seen since Andrew went out, and he should still be in the palace."
"This is not the time to rest, we must make follow-up plans, we can't watch the soldiers covering being defeated like this!"
Ankus was furious, and trotted down the walls of the city and headed for the royal palace in the city.
"Die!"
Andrew roared, raised his filthy spear and immediately knocked one of the Alemanni cavalrymen off his horse. Turning his head sharply, he saw another Alemanni cavalryman scurrying at him with a sword monster screaming.
Andrew hurriedly tried to pull out the spear, but the spear that had pierced the Alemanni man's body must have been stuck in the chain mail, and no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't move.
"Damn it!"
Andrew scolded, in a hurry, he had to draw the iron sword, at this time the cavalry had appeared in front of him, the raised iron sword fell, and Andrew swung his sword with all his strength to meet it.
"Dang!"
There was a loud noise that Andrew's whole ears were buzzing, blood oozed from the tiger's mouth in his right hand, and the sword in his hand was also bounced away.
This caused Andrew to fall to the ground unsteadily, and he struggled to get back up, but the pain in his right hand and body, as well as the loss caused by overexertion, made it difficult for him to get back up.
Andrew gritted his teeth and struggled to crawl through the corpses and mud, he was filthy and his ornate armor had lost its original appearance.
At this point, the battle stopped, and it seemed that as soon as he fell, in an astonishing period of time, his soldiers also lost the desire to fight, and then laid down their weapons and chose to surrender. Except for the cavalry, they fled back to the city on four legs on their horses, leaving only the infantry, who could not hold up after a hard struggle.
Almost instantly, all the Roman soldiers present had surrendered, and the Alemanni spotted Andrew, who was still crawling in the mud, and immediately stepped forward to tie the exhausted fellow hand and foot, and dragged him among the prisoners of war.
The victory was almost a boast of now, and the Alemanni captured the prisoners and escorted them outside the city, and the cavalry kept smirking with their spears on the helmets of the Romans, they were humiliating the Romans in the city, meaning that their spears would have Roman heads stuck in them after all.
"Squeak!"
With a slow sound, I saw that the gates of Treville were opened, and a group of cavalry appeared inside, and the leader of this group of cavalry looked unusual, because the leader was dressed in a magnificent purple robe.
"Look, we seem to have new guests." The commander of Alemanni looked triumphant, of course, he didn't seem to know what it was to be wearing a purple robe.
