23. Crash

The Roman defenses began to crumble, their morale became low, and the Roman warriors who had been so indomitable in the past became cowardly under the wave after wave of attacks, unable to pick up their former glory. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

"Steady! Steady! ”

The Roman officers were still roaring, but the collapse of the Roman army was imminent, and in close combat the Romans and their barbarian mercenaries had lost their advantage, and at long range, they did not have enough firepower to suppress, and the Hun archers on and below the siege towers sent dense and accurate arrows into the Roman groups that were fighting fiercely.

These members of the Roman group had to be vigilant not only against the enemy at close range, but also against deadly arrows from afar, and this situation did not last long before their morale was shaken, and in fact, no one could hold out under this double mental torture.

At this moment, Attila led the wood-pounding troops and stormed the wooden gates of Augsburg.

Bang bang bang!

Under the rapid impact and huge inertia, the attack power of the crashing wood became extremely lethal and ferocious. The wooden door was hit with potholes. Inside the wooden gate, the Romans were trying to support the gate with a few thick logs, but the gate was already shaky from the impact of the days.

As the gates began to loosen, Attila saw the hope of victory, and he continued to inspire the Huns with words to stimulate their will to fight.

"Remember our previous victories! Remember that we once brought Eastern Rome to its knees! We will take Augsburg, we will march to Orleans! This mound was only guarded by two or three thousand Romans! Capture it! Raid for three days! I'm not going to let the Warriors suffer!"

Attila constantly inspired the Hun soldiers with words like these.

Finally, under the last impact, with a bang, the city gate was opened, and a mouthful of blood spurted out from the Roman soldiers who were holding the pillar behind the city gate.

"Kill!"

Attila led the charge, and the greedy Huns and their allies, attracted by his lead and the wealth of the city, rushed to the city gates, where the main force of the Roman group was now on the city walls, where there were only a few Roman soldiers.

They saw the fierce and unstoppable Hun group of soldiers, one by one piercing through the enemy's body like a boar with its deadly fangs. An Ostrogothic soldier, dressed in leather armor, was white, but was still a servant of the Yellow Huns.

He pierced the chest of a Roman soldier in simple leather armor with a deadly spear, and the razor-sharp spear was stained with blood and exposed, as if mocking the Romans.

Just as the Ostrogoths were about to draw their spears, a Roman barbarian mercenary slashed his neck with a short axe, digging deep into the flesh, and the Ostrogothic soldier fell to the ground with a terrible howl, his neck was half off, and several pieces of flesh were still attached, this cruel and merciless scene happened everywhere on the battlefield.

But the tide of battle was clearly turning against the Roman group, and more and more Huns or barbarians were climbing up the ladder and jumping from the siege towers. Now the situation was reversed, and it was often a single Roman soldier who had to deal with a few Huns or barbarians. Spears, axes, and swords come in or slash from different directions.

The Romans could not resist, and they saw that the gates had been breached, and in the end, the soldiers of the Roman group collapsed, and no brave people or fearless people could laugh at them, they had done their best, and no one could persist in this desperate and painful situation, fighting in blood, fighting in the howling, fighting in the stumps.

"General Clarence! Our soldiers ran away, and I'm ashamed of them! We can't hold on anymore! ”

It was still the same lieutenant general, his hair was disheveled, his face was full of despair, his face was mixed with blood, sweat, and tears. His muscular cuirass was pitted, deformed by blunt and sharp blows, and he also had several minor injuries on his arms.

"The Romans... Are you blind? ”

General Clarence roared, drew his saber and put it around his neck, and before the lieutenant could react, General Clarence slashed the blade violently, and the aging skin was cut open, and a large stream of blood gurgled out.

"General Clarence!"

The adjutant cried out in sorrow, Clarence was a good general who was trusted by the soldiers, he came from among the nobility, was well educated, had unlimited loyalty to the empire, and had infinite love for the Roman people.

"Retreat!"

The adjutant yelled and rushed towards the back door with the last of the Roman group, but he did not know that it was the real gate of hell, where Attila had already arranged a group of Hun cavalry.

The lieutenant general and the other soldiers, desperate for survival, rushed to the back door with all their might, and just as they were panting out of the back door, panting in the wilderness, the sound of horses' hooves rumbling from the woods rang out.

"It's cavalry!"

One of the Romans said with a horrified look on his face that he had even dropped his hexagonal shield and sword out of fear, and the remaining Roman soldiers and barbarian mercenaries were running around like disoriented flies. The earth is shaking, everything is stirring.

"Array!"

The adjutant yelled as he tried to put up a desperate resistance, but in this extreme fear, the remnants of the soldiers fled in all directions like frightened wild horses.

The "demons" in the woods have finally appeared, and they are like legendary demons, riding fiery demon horses, all covered in black armor, of course, they are all legends of the Romans.

In reality, the yellow-skinned, black-eyed, black-haired Huns rode their dwarf steppe horses, and they drew their bows and threw arrows at the frightened Roman soldiers, and after three rains of arrows, they charged, not a battle, but a massacre.

The horses' hooves trampled them to minced flesh, the swords turned them into skulls, and the arrows turned them into hedgehogs. These crumbling soldiers couldn't form a decent defense at all, they just wanted to escape, even if they knew they couldn't, but they still couldn't muster the courage of the team.

The battle in the city was coming to an end, and the Roman soldiers were captured in droves, and they knelt on the ground, discarding their dignity and the weapons of battle, and they were frightened, and they fell to their knees crying, their faces stained with tears.

The Huns, as well as their barbarian allies, the general, asked Attila what to do with the captives, and Attila had only one sentence.

"If you don't kill, you won't be happy!"
