Sugs sent all the soldiers and horses at his disposal in the city of Pske, and did not dare to breathe for a moment, and hurried to the west, but all his efforts were doomed to be in vain. When they arrived in Festaq, the mighty garrison of Kipros finally showed their strength to crush everything, and the whole of Festak was shrouded in a desolate aura with trebuchets and rammers, coupled with the rain of arrows. Festak guarded the eastern entrance to the Kingdom of Saxony, where tens of thousands of Prussians were desperately stationed, but when had the Prussians ever seen so many trebuchets? In the evening, a new round of offensive finally began, and Siu Zhiyun personally arrived at the front line to oversee the battle. Xiao Zhiyun is not easy at all, if she doesn't bite Festark, it means that there is a risk, so even if you pay more price, you must quickly take Festak City, "Yu Xiaochen, all the fire oil accumulated in the general is thrown in, and the longbowmen suppress it from the south, in addition, transfer Tiefutu over and tell Yerusha that the concubine will give him an hour's time, and if he can't take the high ground in the north after an hour, let him come to see him." ”

Once in command, Xiao Zhiyun returned to her previous determination to kill, although the imperial soldiers attacked fiercely, but it was far from enough, and the Prussians on the high slopes in the north held back a lot of energy. The reason why the Iron Float was sent over was because they took a fancy to the heavy armor defense of the Iron Float, and these Iron Floats were without war horses, and they had to gnaw down the high ground if they climbed over a little bit. After getting Xiao Zhiyun's order, how dare Yelusha hesitate, he knows Xiao Zhiyun's personality too well, this woman is the same, she is resolute and resolute in doing things, not to mention him Yelusha, even if he is replaced by Pang He and Xiao Yue, if he can't complete the military order, he will still be killed. The high slopes to the north were always hindering the attacking troops, and the Prussians were constantly sneaking up, and as soon as they encountered heavy slaughter, they quickly withdrew to the high slopes. This place is full of coniferous forests, and the soldiers of the Dingguo Army are not familiar with the terrain, and they have suffered heavy losses many times when they go in. In order to complete the task assigned by Xiao Zhiyun, Yerusha decided to go to Gaopo in person. The cold wind was blowing at night, and the forest was roaring, just like countless women complaining and sighing, which made people shudder, it was definitely not okay to set fire, the forest was so close to Festak, once it was set on fire, it was not only the Prussians who burned, but also the soldiers of the Dingguo Army. Looking at the secluded jungle, Yerusha turned over and dismounted, gushing out a ruthlessness that only a ruffian can have, "All dismount, transfer the longbowmen behind you some, a team of three, protecting two longbowmen, the general will not believe it, even if it is the Longtan Tiger's Den, Lao Tzu will take this place." ”

In this coniferous forest, the usual way of fighting is not effective at all, no wonder Concubine Xiao insisted on letting Tiefutu come over, it was clear that she wanted to let Tiefutu be a heavy infantry, crush it little by little, even if it was by climbing, she had to plow this high slope little by little. This is not the first time that Tiefutu has made a cameo appearance as a heavy infantryman, but fortunately, they are used to it, as long as there are infantry with shields to cooperate, they can also be qualified heavy infantry. In just a moment, a large number of infantry and longbowmen were transferred to the bottom of the high slope, these people were in a team of six, scattered the formation, and pushed in little by little, the shield bearer protected the longbowman, and the iron float was used as a meat shield in front, this strange combination, some nondescript, using the iron float as a meat shield, and only an army like the Dingguo army could come out. If Lothair and the others knew that Yerusha used the Iron Floating Slaughter like this, they would have to be fainted by anger, this is a group of iron horsemen who have built a lot of money, and they have done the most inconspicuous dirty work. In the darkness of night, the Prussians hid in the woods and stole their hands, a method that had been tried and tested repeatedly, and the Orientals had rushed into the woods several times, only to be defeated. Stupid Orientals, when it is dark, dare to go into the woods, isn't this looking for death?

A Prussian man with a small crossbow in his hand, saw where the torch was shining, and quickly struck, and the sharp arrow pierced out along the cold wind, but there was no muffled grunt as expected, only a clanging sound. Hell, why can't you shoot dead? The Prussian, who was still wondering, felt a strong wind in his ears, and then there was a pain in his shoulder, and an arrow pierced the skin of the animal on his shoulder and sank into the flesh. This happened again and again, and after the Prussians had lost a few hundred men, they realized that something was wrong, and the eastern soldiers who entered the woods this time were almost invulnerable. After paying a heavy price, they finally understood what was going on, this was a group of infantry covered in iron armor, with longbowmen behind them, as soon as someone sneaked attacked, they immediately counterattacked in the direction of the attack, and many Prussians fell on the road. What can I do, those people are invulnerable, the sky is dark and whirring, they can only be beaten passively, and if they retreat like this, they all have to jump off the cliff. In desperation, the commander in charge of Gao Po could only order to withdraw and retreat to Festaq City.

After daybreak, the remaining remnants of the Prussian army on the high slope were also wiped out, and Jerusha finally breathed a sigh of relief, this errand was not easy at all, and it was better to attack the city. On this day, the sky over the city of Festaq was cloudy, just like the mood of the soldiers and civilians in the city. Since the accession of Lothair II, the city of Festac has become the domain of the Conrad family, and the current lord of the city is the Duke of Mazovia of Lower Saxony, Mazovia? Conrad is now Chinese New Year's Eve and seventeen years old, which is the age of the peak of spring and autumn. He was absolutely unwilling to hand over the city of Festac to the Orientals, and the interests of the Conrad family were suitable for the Lothair family to be tightly tied together, and both sides would be prosperous and the other would be lost. If the Kingdom of Saxony cannot be saved, the Conrad family will be completely submerged in the long river of history, and it will never recover. Mazovia was dedicated to guarding the entrance to the kingdom, but the development of the situation made him more and more headaches, and until now, the soldiers and horses arranged on the periphery to attack and contain were either wiped out or forced back to the city, and now, only Festac City remains. The Oriental people are really too powerful, and overnight, they completely controlled the battle in their own hands.

Bang bang, there was a knock on the door, and it didn't take long for John, a priest belonging to the Conrad family, to walk in with his sleeves up, looking at Mazovia, who was frowning in front of him, John bowed and said, "Lord Duke, Pope Gregoris has sent the church forces around Hohenzollern, and he will definitely be able to reach Festaq within two days, and I hope that the Duke must hold on for two days." ”

"His Majesty the Pope sent soldiers and horses?" Mazovia didn't show much excitement, and he was now worried about how to hold on for two days. It is also understandable that the Pope was willing to send reinforcements, looking at what the Easterners were doing in Kipoula, they did not believe in God at all, they were a group of outright infidels. In Kiev and Vladimir, the Church of the Orientals carried out a brutal suppression, and if the Orientals were allowed to occupy the Kingdom of Saxony, I am afraid that the influence of the Church in the Holy Empire would be further weakened. For the sake of the Church, Gregory must also do everything in his power to stop the progress of the Orientals. Gregory is different from Dorle, he doesn't have his own land, the only thing he relies on is the power of faith, if God's faith is doubted, the power in his hands will also dissipate, and Dorle and others, they don't live on the church, they have their own territory, they have their own business interests, they are not on the same line with the church from the beginning, in some ways, Dorle and even Lothair, they have been trying their best to weaken the influence of the church, but they can't do it. Of course, Gregory did not do this for the sake of Lothair, but to maintain the integrity of the Holy Empire, and as long as the empire is stable, the power of the Church will not be greatly lost. Although Lothair and these people also tried their best to weaken the influence of the church, they did not dare to do it blatantly after all, but the Orientals are different, they will really raise a butcher's knife to the church, and they will not consider the opinions of the Germanic people at all.

Waiting for John to sit down, Mazovia stretched out his hand and tapped the map in front of him, "Your Excellency may not know, but the Orientals have an army of 100,000 people, there is no doubt about this, the people I sent out will not be wrong after many statistics." In the face of such a large number of soldiers and horses, how can we hold on for two days? Unless the army on the Istrian heights can appear in time for the rear of the Easterners, how can we do it on our own? ”

"Lord Duke, there are some methods that should be used, as far as I know, there are more than 2,000 young and strong men in Festac City today, and there are also 4,000 men over the age of ten who are concentrated, plus young women, it is a large force. We have to do everything we can to make it possible to hold out for two days," John said eloquently, at this time he was not a holy priest, but more like a jurisprudence who was constantly calculating for the sake of victory. Mazovia frowned very hesitantly, he didn't want to use this method, so that those civilians would probably suffer heavy casualties, but in the end, he nodded with difficulty, for the benefit of the Conrad family, some things had to be done.

The people of the Conrad family used all the forces they could use, and the soldiers and civilians in the city were concentrated, and everyone contributed their own strength in order to resist the attack of the Dingguo army, which may be insignificant, but thousands of people and tens of thousands of people are gathered together, which is still a force that cannot be underestimated. At that time, the rumbling drums sounded, and the trebuchets began to exert their power again, and due to the huge workload, many trebuchets were overused and broke down and were badly damaged. But Xiao Zhiyun had no intention of stopping, and the pressure on Festaq City could not be stopped, and they had to be pressed to breathe. In fact, many things do not need Xiao Zhiyun's orders, and now there is only one Festac City left, and the time is pressing, and there is no other way to think of it, but to attack it. Gao Zhong and Shi Wengong were personally responsible for the command of the two directions, and in order to take Festaq in one fell swoop, Xiao Zhiyun invested 14,000 troops at one time.

Now we can only wait patiently, and the south side in charge of Gao Chong took the lead in the attack, and the vanguard of 2,000 people carried the ladder and pounced on the fortified city in front of them under the cover of the longbowmen. These people were both Slavs and Mongols, and at this moment, they were close comrades-in-arms and had the same goal, to take Festak and seize the kingdom of Saxony. Pushkin, a hunter from the Caucasus Mountains, did not have any great dreams, he only knew that in the most difficult time, it was the regent of the East who saved the lives of his entire family. He is a man of gratitude, and he has only one goal for the rest of his life, which is to fight for the Emperor of the East and expand his territory, and he is the sharp knife in the hands of the regent. Carrying a wooden shield in his left hand, Pushkin rushed towards the city like a beast. A piece of rolling wood fell, Pushkin roared angrily, and the wooden shield flicked it aside, "Ah.... Prussian slaves, grandpa is here ...."

For these Prussians, Pushkin was contemptuous, these people did not have their own land at all, they were just constantly subservient to others, they were not at all worthy of being a great warrior. The Conrad family, who are nothing more than wild dogs around Lothair, how can they compare to the regent? A stone fell down his cheek, and the sharp stone cut through the skin, leaving a deep scar, Pushkin was already rough and majestic, and at this time there was a bloody mark on his face, which looked extremely hideous. He grinned and fell into the eyes of the defenders as if he had seen a demon. A Prussian civilian, who had just come into contact with the battlefield, saw Pushkin's menacing smile and screamed in fright and couldn't help but retreat.

In the distance, Gao Zhong continued to observe the progress of the siege through the clairvoyant mirror, and when he saw that he was getting closer and closer to the city, he couldn't help but wave his hand and said, "Very good, let the longbowmen get close to the city wall immediately, no matter what the cost, you must suppress the defenders and reduce the pressure on the siege personnel." ”

When the longbowman gets close to the wall, he will inevitably put himself within the range of the opposing crossbowman's fire, and the damage will definitely be great. But Gao Zhong thought it was worth it, and as long as he could get to the top of the city, the longbowmen's sacrifice would be meaningful. The military orders were like a mountain, and the soldiers did not have any suspicions at all, even if there was a huge risk involved, the longbowmen still approached the city wall without hesitation. Although there is a shield hand to protect, but in the face of overwhelming projectiles, there are still people falling, the soldiers of the Dingguo Army at the cost of their lives, constantly suppressing the defenders of the city, it is the bows and arrows they throw in time, so that the besiegers win a chance to breathe. Seeing that there was a hole in the defense of the city, Pushkin took a flying claw from his waist and accurately hooked the battlements, and then his bear-like body grabbed the flying claw rope and ran up quickly. This is Pushkin's unique skill as a hunter, which is usually used to climb large trees, and is also used in siege cities, and the effect is also obvious. Pulled out the steel knife and directly cut the stunned Prussians in front of him to the ground. Pushkin was born with divine powers, lived in the mountains all the year round, and practiced a strange knife technique, and for a time the Prussians were cut down by him. With Pushkin opening the way, more people rushed up the ladder, and it didn't take long for a man dressed in silver-gray chain mail with a spear to rush up, and this person was the commander Ren Phenol. A commander actually went to the head of the city in person to fight a bloody battle, and the soldiers all marched forward bravely. Ren Phenol and Pushkin are like a pair of humming two generals, leading the soldiers to continue to rush and kill, the gap is widening wider and wider, when one-third of the west city wall falls into the hands of the Dingguo army, it also indicates that the battle for the city wall is a foregone conclusion, with the strong combat effectiveness of the Dingguo army, the Prussians want to fight back, it is difficult to climb to the sky.
