Chapter 224: Ambush

At that moment a shrill cry suddenly reached old Peter's ears, which startled him into a wit, and he immediately straightened up and looked out of the wall.

"Kill! Kill! A fierce and furious shout of murder sounded outside the city, and the silence of the last second was like an unreal dream, and in the blink of an eye, he fell from the comfort of a lover's embrace into the bloody battlefield.

"What's going on?!" Old Peter broke out in a cold sweat, and his voice became as sharp and piercing as a duck, and he exclaimed, "The Saxons have attacked? ”

Looking down from the city wall, I saw that between the stone walls of the new city, torches suddenly lit up, and the light of the torches was connected, and the surrounding area of hundreds of meters seemed to become a sea of fire.

In the reflection of the firelight, the black metal armor reflected the cold light, and the blade slashed out a blurred sword twilight, and the shouts of killing were endless.

In the place where the shouting was most intense, the bright red blood was like a light veil, sprayed into the air with hot steam, and then fell down to cover the land.

Rumbling, the ground trembled, it was the sound of nearly a hundred light cavalry crashing, and the light cavalry was like a rapid arrow, shuttling back and forth through the streets of the new city, suddenly entering the battlefield.

The shouting and screaming became more and more intense, and the battlefield under his feet was even more tragic than the battle during the day, and there were people killing people everywhere, and people were dying everywhere, and for a while, old Peter was stunned.

His eyes were sharp, and then the light of the fire, and he could see at a glance the black eagle markings on the hussars' armor, and such marks had one on his own armor.

"Not a Saxon soldier." Old Peter muttered, and then suddenly exclaimed excitedly, "It's our people, those are our people." ”

Old Peter looked down very clearly, and the battle situation under his feet was clearly divided into two distinct waves, one was those light cavalry and armored soldiers, and the other was soldiers wearing black robes and hiding their armor.

The black robes were so recognizable in the firelight that they were almost all archers, and they didn't even have basic swords on them, only bows and arrows.

Some of the soldiers' black robes were torn off, revealing the white armor underneath.

"Saxon soldiers, those black robes are Saxon soldiers!" Old Peter's voice became more and more excited, and he vaguely understood in his mind what was happening, but his limited knowledge of military command was not enough for him to guess the whole process.

The Saxon archers did not carry swords for concealment, leaving them defenseless against the onslaught of large groups of infantry and cavalry.

Bows and arrows were almost useless in this chaotic battlefield, and some Saxon soldiers could only fight with an arrow in each hand, which was used as a short-handled sword.

Soon the Saxon archers were slaughtered, leaving their bodies in their place, and they fled from the new town.

A knight was covered in blood, he had no wounds on his body, and the blood was all from the enemy, and it was enough to see how many enemies he had killed.

Looking at the fleeing Saxon archers, the knight put his hand on the sword and slowly wiped the blood from it, and then lifted his face armor, which was none other than the new captain of the Lebor City Guards---- Allen.

"Stop, don't pursue!" Allen raised his right hand and shouted loudly, stopping the pursuit of his soldiers, and with a contemptuous smile, he took one last look at the fleeing Saxon archers, then turned his head and ordered loudly: "There is a chance to teach these Saxon mongrels a lesson, now, the whole army is back to the city!" ”

With that, he rode his horse towards the gates of the city of Leber, and the other soldiers followed behind Allen, trotting into the city of Leber, and soon everyone was evacuated from the new city to the city walls, and with a loud bang, the gates closed again.

The new city became dark and silent again, but in the darkness, you could faintly see corpses lying on the ground, blood flowing out and gradually converging into a small river, the heat quickly dissipated, and it froze into a blood-colored ice layer in the cold night.

Alan walked through the gates, and behind Eugen stood Parma, both of them smiling as they waited for his return.

Alan saw Eugen hurriedly roll over and get off the horse and stand in front of Eugen.

"Haha, congratulations to Captain Allen on his victorious return." Eugen said with a smile, his tone very cheerful.

Parma also said: "Yes, Captain Allen has been angry with those Saxon archers these days, and this time it's cool." ”

Alan took off his helmet and said with a bright face: "Hahaha, of course, those Saxon mongrels still think we are easy to bully, but this time they have a good experience." ”

As he spoke, he looked at Eugen very respectfully, and said sincerely: "Thanks to your strategy, those Saxons suffered a big loss, and without those archers, the pressure on defense would be much lighter." ”

Parma also looked at Eugen very respectfully, this counterattack was planned by Eugen, and at night, Eugen ordered some infantry to quietly hide in the new city, using the cover of houses and streets to ambush those Saxon archers who were attacking at night.

Since he was not sure which street the other party would come from, he also specially ordered Allen to bring nearly a hundred light cavalry troops and wait at the gate of the city, ready to go out and kill at any time.

At night, the archers of the opposing side really entered the trap, and a full 500 infantry hid in houses all over the new city, and suddenly killed them at night without warning, and immediately caught those archers off guard.

Coupled with the charge of the cavalry led by Allen, they had the advantage in this battle, and it was easy to deal with those Saxon archers.

It just so happened that the Saxon generals didn't know what to pay attention to this time, and instead of dividing into several waves, they sent five hundred archers at once.

As a result, Eugen and they seized the opportunity and killed nearly fifty percent of the opponent's archers at one time, with this wave of attacks, the vitality of the Saxon archers army was greatly damaged, and the strength of future attacks will inevitably be greatly weakened.

"Haha, I just moved my mouth, but it was Captain Allen who killed the enemy. Alan, you're also very tired, go and rest, you have to deal with a new attack tomorrow, I estimate that the other party has suffered such a big loss, and tomorrow will definitely not give up. Eugen patted Allen's arm and said with a smile.

Alan nodded, and walked towards his residence, indeed, tomorrow's official battlefield, they need to do their best to deal with it.

The soldiers who had gone out that night were barely injured, but they were very tired because of the long time spent in ambush, and when the troops returned, everyone immediately returned to the barracks to rest and prepare for tomorrow's battle.
