Chapter 454: Intensifying

At this moment, only the shouts of the Saxons outside the city were heard, and Luga saw through his shield that their javelinmen were lined up in several rows, raising their javelins and pointing them straight to the sky.

Luga could not understand the meaning of their cries, but the soldiers recruited in Lentinlum could understand the language, but they shrank behind the bunkers of the walls in great terror, put their shields over themselves, and cried out to Luga: "Quick, the Saxons are attacking!" ”

"Whew..."

As soon as the soldier was speaking, Lu Jia suddenly felt the sky above him darken, and when he looked up, he saw countless javelins falling from the sky like dark clouds, overwhelmingly attacking him. Luga hurriedly crouched down and put the shield on his shoulder, hiding the whole person under the shield.

"Dangdang..."

The javelin falling from the sky hit Luga's shield like a heavy punch, and in the process Luga felt that his shield had become extremely heavy, he gritted his teeth, and when the last javelin landed, he stood up with difficulty and lowered his head, only to see that the shield in his hand had already been filled with javelins like hedgehogs.

Wails and cries rang out in the clearing behind the walls, and Luga looked back to see a large number of soldiers lying in the dense "woods" of javelins. Many of those who did not die dragged their injured bodies and crawled back, and the soldiers in the rear did not even dare to approach this dense "woods" again.

"Andrew! Andrew! ”

Luga shouted Andrew's name loudly downward, and Andrew was still standing behind the city gate with the assault team he organized, and he heard Luga's call and hurriedly signaled to Luga.

Outside the city at this time, the Saxon javelinmen had already set up their javelins and were ready to throw them for the second round, and with the besieging soldiers, as long as the Roman soldiers guarding the city walls could not survive, they would be able to take the city walls.

"Rush out! Offensive! Rush out! ”

Distance yelled at Andrew, Andrew couldn't help nodding, he knew what Luga meant. I saw him walk forward quickly with his sword and shield, and pushed away the soldiers who were still fighting against the city gate in front of him. Cooperate with the commando team under his command and pull the city gate.

"Boom!"

There was another vibration, and the gate was already crumbling, and Andrew, who was close to the gate, felt the Saxons retreating with a siege cone.

I saw Andrew with a sword in his right hand and a gate in his left, and the soldiers who followed him understood what he meant, and followed him in the opposite direction.

"Ready!" Andrew whispered, only to hear the Saxons outside the door shouting, and a series of noisy footsteps remembered. They rushed up again with battering cones in their arms.

"Do it!"

Andrew roared angrily, and together with the soldiers, he slammed open the gates, and the Saxon soldiers who struck the gates threw themselves into the air, and they were greeted by open gates and swords from nowhere.

"Bang!"

One of the soldiers on this side couldn't stop, and the first one slammed straight into the erect blade until the hilt made a dull thud.

"Whew!"

Andrew jerked his iron sword out of the hapless man's abdomen, and the Saxon soldier curled up in a ball with a frightened look in his eyes, and fell down with a thud after Andrew drew his sword.

"Rush out! Rush out! ”

Andrew didn't have time to wipe the blood from his sword, he picked up his shield and beckoned the soldiers behind him to rush out.

The Saxon soldiers in the back thought that the siege troops in front had broken through the city gate, and they screamed loudly and cheered forward, who would have thought that a group of Romans would rush out of the city gate.

Andrew, who was the leader, rushed to kill the Saxons by surprise with his sword, and they kept retreating, and Andrew swung his sword as if he were in a no-man's land, sprinkling many Saxon corpses along the way.

"Attack them and climb the walls, and knock down all these ladders! Push over! Luga shouted at the Roman squad that was rushing below, giving them a clear goal.

The retreating Saxon infantry seriously interfered with the work of the javelinmen in the rear, forcing them to stop and look to see what was really going on in front of them.

"Fight back now! Counterattack! ”

Luga shouted orders to the soldiers on the ramparts, and he slammed to his feet with a pike dart and threw it at the Saxon javelinmen not far away.

The Roman archers, who had been cowering under the city walls, also stood up sharply at this time, and opened their bows and arrows at the Saxon javelinmen below to shoot several arrows in succession, and the swift arrows pierced their bodies with more than no defense, causing many of them to fall in agony.

When they came to their senses, they saw more and more Roman soldiers roaring with their weapons raised in the gates of Lendinlum, and they knocked down the ladder and brutally killed the Saxon soldiers who had fallen down the ladder.

The javelinmen tried to fight back, but the chaotic crowd and the occasional scalp-grazing arrows overhead made it difficult for them to wield.

"Well done! Well done and that's it! ”

Luga shouted encouragement to the soldiers below, drew a pike dart once more, and threw it at the chaotic Saxon army below, this time which unlucky man was unknown.

Andrew is like a bloodthirsty beast, wielding an iron sword and constantly taking down one panicked Saxon soldier after another. Soon, the Saxon soldiers killed by him covered the ground.

"Shrink the front! Shrink the front! ”

Luga stood on the wall and commanded as he ordered the trumpeters to blow the horn of retreat.

"Captain of the Guard, the general orders us to stop!"

The soldiers behind him shouted at Andrew, who was chasing after the fleeing Saxon soldiers. This made Andrew stop, he looked back at the fleeing Saxon soldiers, and then at Luga, who was standing on the wall, and sighed, as if he was unwilling. But he was very supportive of Luga's intentions, and led the soldiers to quickly turn back and run into the city gate, and Andrew also dragged the siege cone abandoned by the Saxons into the city by the way, he thought that this thing could resist the city gate, besides, the Saxons did not have the siege cone, did they still use an axe to slash?

"Mend the walls and carry the wounded down." Luga stood on the wall and commanded.

However, the Saxons did not seem to give up, and when they saw the Roman assault force returning to the city, they returned to the battlefield brandishing their battle axes and shields.

The javelinmen defended themselves with shields and rained down arrows, once again converging under the city of Lendynlum.

"They really don't seem to be going to give us a moment to breathe!"

Luga looked at the Saxons below the city, who were holding up the ladder under the cover of their shields, preparing for a new offensive.

Seeing that the bows and arrows were of little use to them, the soldiers had to lift the stones and push them down, and the falling stones said that the wooden walls were rolling down, bouncing on the ground and occasionally hitting the legs of the Saxon soldiers, it was enough to make them feel pain.

While the battle was raging on the side wall of Lendinlum, a dragon head warship appeared deep in the jungle on the Thames, which was the allies of the Saxons in the Far North, who had come by warship, silently avoiding the sight of the Romans, and slowly approaching Lendinlum.
