"Hold on!" When more than a dozen Turkic assaulters jumped over the rejecting rifle lightly, waved their weapons and howled and pounced, the defending soldiers fighting on foot by the sub-wall did not panic or flee, they were in groups of five, three were standing, holding long hooks, two were half-kneeling, holding axes and guns, three people rushed forward with hooks, two people were half-kneeling and silent, and in a staggered manner, all the more than ten Turkic assaulters were like cattle, and they returned to the rejecting rifles, and several of them were on their backs by the spear blades on the rejecting rifles straight through to their chests, and the rest of them were holding shields and waving knives, just ready to resist - in the shouts, On each side of the sub-wall, three or five defenders with swords, shields or battle axes in their hands poured out, their heads fluttering and rolling with the wave of their arms—and in just half a minute, all the enemies who rushed in were slashed and killed, and none of them survived.

This was the case at the entrances to the walls everywhere, and Amasa's assault team fought fiercely, but found that the Gawain soldiers who had rejected the rifle did not move, and each of them formed a very tacit battle group: three with long hooks, two with axes and guns, seven or eight with axes and swords, and two with thorn guns or wild boar guns.

Behind them, on the wall of the rear line, the defenders were also in groups of three, one for delivering the bolts, one for the aim and the other for the replacement, and shooting towards the back of the Turkic assault line.

The small stone throwers behind the rear sub-wall were not idle, and they also kept shooting at the reinforcements of the Turks, many Turkic soldiers were armed with weapons, still waiting to take turns to step forward, but in their ignorance, they were hit by the stone bullets that came from the roar, and their brains and body fluids were splashed everywhere.

After the onslaught at the entrance of the sub-wall was frustrated one after another, the Turkic soldiers who rushed in for the second time threw the firing canisters at the sub-wall, but the half of the wall was tilted, and the dog's foot wood was heightened, so the firing canisters could not be thrown at all, so they rolled down upside down, burning their own wolves.

But Gawain, who was on the tower of the city gate, saw this group of brave enemy troops, and before the flames were extinguished, they gathered again like ant colonies, encouraged by the standard-bearers and imams, and many of them had fire on their armor, so they threw them with ropes and hooked their claws, and put their feet on the wooden legs of the flat head wall, and climbed up with a shout. At this moment, on the platform of each sub-wall, five people knelt to control the crossbow machine, and shot at the lower row of firing ports with their eyes closed, and six people held long-handled spears with both hands upside down, along the upper row of firing ports, and poked at the heads or abdomen of people who climbed up - the Turkic soldiers below, in order to cover, lined up to shoot arrows at the shooting ports of the flat-headed wall, but the flat-headed wall is different from the traditional pheasant battlements, and the soldiers guarding the garrison do not need to poke their heads out at all when shooting and fighting, which is equivalent to not being threatened by the arrows fired by the enemy- Unless the Turks concentrated their marksmen and were able to seal the staggered firing ports with arrows, this was obviously not possible, after all, there were no sniper rifles or rapid-fire machine guns in those days.

Soon, the Turkic soldiers who pounced on them no longer needed ropes: they could reach the half-waist position of the sub-wall by stepping directly on the corpse of their companion, and then gritted their teeth and used a method to lift the corpse of their companion, blocking the shooting port of the sub-wall, and then climbed up.

But at this time, the soldiers behind the sub-wall, threw down the crossbow machine, drew the spear, and exchanged it for a cavalry axe with a medium handle, and carried it in their hands. The Mosul officers who commanded the attack below saw only the severed hands and fingers falling continuously, and many of them cried and cried and clutched their mutilated arms, slid down the sub-wall, and ran backwards one by one, and two of the brave ones, walking back and forth, picked up the severed fingers with their pockets

Amasa, who was standing under the flag in the rear, painfully put his hand on his forehead and gave the order to retreat temporarily.

Then it was "garbage time" for both sides, and the stone throwers and ballistas were erected to each other, and the stone bullets came and went in mid-air, and everyone retreated to their respective camp lines, adjusting and resting.

Angry, Amasa wanted to find trouble with the believers who had been released by Gawain that day, accusing them of providing information that was not appropriate, but where could he find anyone? Except for some of the older ones who did not participate in the siege, almost all the other prime-aged people died under the sub-wall defense line, and two or three seriously injured also died not long after being carried back.

Hearing of this terrible situation, General Amasa was silent, and did not bother to blame anyone, but summoned the generals of the barracks, the imams, and the Bey magistrates who accompanied the Mosul army, and listened attentively to their thoughts on the capture of the Gawain camp.

Then Amasa did the math: now he had fourteen bars on the front line of the Orontes camp; On the front behind his own right side of Rose Ridge, three battalions were equipped; And in front of him to his left, facing the iron bridge, there were five more barracks. The whole formation was in an arc, and in the direction of Atta City and San Simeon, in addition to his remaining troops, there was also the king of Aleppo, Km Dewan, with the Daphne jungle as the central core, controlling the dense camp in the upper reaches of the Orontes River.

In general, although he was defeated in today's battle and lost hundreds of men, he still had an absolute advantage in the front-line troops, because with the servant army provided by Ridwan, he had about 12,000 men, which should be several times the first-line troops that Gawain could maintain.

"From Ridwan's camp, send a herald to detour to the barracks of His Royal Highness, and ask him to take the Iron Bridge fortress as soon as possible, and bring the three forces together. Tomorrow, we will change our tactics and continue to attack the current camp, the time is 100,000 urgent, even if we can't completely capture it before the arrival of His Royal Highness, but we will strangle the other party until there is only one breath left! ”

At the same time, in the Orontes camp, all the soldiers who had won today, except for the guard posts, were eating in a nervous and orderly manner, as if they would have no food from tomorrow onwards: according to the agreement of the rotational stationing in battle, the Tomorrow Gimagith Brigade and the Guardian Brigade will each draw out part of their detachments to come and guard.

"Please trust our men and horses, they all grew up in Syria and are familiar with the skills and tactics of defending the city." At this moment, Gregor followed Gawain on patrol, constantly boasting about his direct soldiers.

After a while, the Grand Duke and his guards came to the other camp where the camp was connected to the "Gawain Bridge", and the place was enclosed with wooden fences and wattles, and the rest of the Crescent laborers, about three or four thousand people, sat in terror, surrounded by soldiers patrolling and guarding with weapons, and when this group of people saw Gawain, they could not help but be in a commotion.

Gawain could clearly see that their eyes were mixed with fear, insecurity, and hostility. (To be continued.) )
