Chapter 48: The Edessa Slaughterhouse
"No one is allowed to enter, close the gates, ring the bell and blow the trumpet!" On the wall, an officer shouted so, and then bravely stepped on the mouth of the pheasant, raised the horn of the ox hanging from his chest, and was just about to rest it on his lips - Estus, who was galloping below, got up and drew the strings, and an arrow flew like a meteor, and the officer's throat exploded with a cloud of blood mist, and the short, mournful sound of the horn came to an abrupt end with a conditional stirring of his shoulders, and the officer shook twice, and his head fell down, and the hula fell from the inner wall, and the body fell under the hooves of Estus's horse.

Ten Turkic warriors let out a screaming cry, like wolves, and instantly shot the arrows on the strings and the feathers in their hands from the back of the whirling horses, and the guards who were originally lined up on the pheasant moat on the inner wall were hit by arrows one by one, screaming and falling continuously, and several lucky ones who were lucky not to be hit wailed, protecting their chests and heads with their hands, and hurriedly crawling backwards from the battlements and scattering, and one of them bravely looked back and saw the bronze bell of the church hanging in the center of the shed, and pounced on it to pull the rope, in order to call the inner city as soon as possible. Suddenly a famous soldier rushed out of the stab, and slew him with an axe, and the blood from his neck spurted red on half of the bronze bell—this was the spy that Tancred had bought and planted in the interior of Edessa City.
But the body of the guard still struck the bronze bell at the moment of falling, and the dull sound soon spread throughout half the city: coupled with the commotion in the market and the streets, several guards with halberds who were guarding in front of the main city gate had just turned around and were about to take a look, when the dozens of infantry left behind by Esdu just now suddenly drew their scimitars and daggers, screamed and pounced, stabbed the guards on their backs and waists, and cut their throats and necks. The others hurried to thrash the gates from both sides, and raised their huge and heavy latches, ready to smash them down when they were closed.
On the camp outside the city, several cavalrymen were at a loss when they saw that the city gate suddenly began to close inexplicably, and one of the soldiers who was on duty was more clever, and hurriedly turned around and ran towards the camp where Fell was.
"It was Tancred who attacked us!" Fell shouted, and immediately reacted, his back exploded, he hurriedly rushed out of the camp tent, turned over and got on his horse, swung his sword and cut the peg rope that tied the horse, and waved his hand again and again and shouted, "There is an enemy attack, there is an enemy attack!" "The whole camp was noisy, full of men and horses, and many soldiers recruited from various tribes, many of whom had been bribed by the Normans, began to set fires and shoot cold arrows everywhere.
At the same time, after hearing the dull sound of the bell, the archon Barak, who was already in a highly nervous trance, rushed out of the door of the mansion in a hurry, and he looked up to see the inner wall of the acropolis with smoke rising, and the guards and servants running around shouting, "It's over, it's over, the Normans have come to claim my life." Barak, with a trembling voice, collapsed almost instantly.
"Throw a three-star rope!" In front of the inner wall gate, Ostu shouted, throwing down the bow and arrow, and then Aku and the other nine people took out the three-star rope from the saddle hanging bag, this is a very simple weapon, with a rope to tie three polished stones together, it is a short-range throwing weapon often used by the shepherds, and soon several three-star ropes shouted, with a fierce wind, spinning and smashing into the gap in the inner wall gate - the two or three guards who were originally here to close the gate were immediately smashed to pieces and fell to the ground, "Aku and I turned over, You rush in. The nine Turkic cavalrymen then let out a wolf-like howl, and their horses lined up in a single column, showing their sabers for hand-to-hand combat, and rushed into the corridor one by one from between the two gates, and tangled with the guards who came one after another.
Aku rode to the base of the city wall, turned down, and supported Ostu on it with both hands, and then Ostu jumped up, climbed the pheasant, deftly climbed up, and flew down the road, and fell from the sky into the city, several guards remained in place with weapons in hand, until Osdu tore off his helmet and cloak, revealing his dyed braids, and flipped his tongue to make a terrifying beetling sound, and rushed quickly with his saber, only to wake up like a dream, and hold their respective weapons along the city road to try to block.
Soon, Aku also climbed and jumped down, and the two cooperated tacitly, and soon cut down several guards in front of them, they controlled the entrance to the inner wall, and one of the soldiers who remained on the shed pulled the rope, and the bell rang rapidly: at this moment the gate was successfully closed, and the infantry who swept the surrounding towers began to run to the cattle market, stepped on all the horses and mules that could be seen, and rushed into the inner wall of the acropolis.
Soon, many of the mansions there were turned into slaughterhouses......
Barak, who was standing on the steps and weeping bitterly, saw the Turks rushing towards him like demonic beasts, and without any resistance, he was killed on the spot by flying arrows, and his body rolled down the steps and was trampled by everyone.
The second to suffer was Cousins, who had just rushed out of the house with his guards, when three or four of Ostu's men jumped on the wall of the alleyway, and condescended to a whirlwind of arrows, and Cousins clutched the head and neck of the arrow, and the blood flowed profusely, and he fell to the ground, and his guards were shot one after another, and the remnants were frightened, and they did not know how many soldiers and horses the enemy came, and they also scattered in a hurry.
As soon as Taprenz got up from the famous **** dancer, without any weapons or armor, he stumbled off the bed, and at this time the door was kicked open, and the dancer screamed sharply and shrank to the corner of the bed.
Destu, who was wearing a terrible braid, carried a bloody saber, looked at the fat and fat Taprenz, and laughed, showing his sharp teeth, like seeing a lamb to the slaughter, Taprenz just wanted to pounce on the table with his sword, but Estus rushed over, lifted the table, knocked Taprenz over and pressed him to the ground, and then stepped on the overturned table, the saber in his hand flicked coldly, and Taplenz's head flew far before rolling to the feet of Aku, who arrived behind him.
"Close the door, Brother Aku, and I'll give you this most valuable head." Ostu licked the blood from the blade with his tongue and said.
Aku also laughed, of course he understood that this head must be a big nobleman, and sure enough, Tang Wu's younger brother was the best for him, so he turned around and closed the wooden door with hoops with both hands.
As a result, Aku's mouth was covered by the arm stretched out from behind--Esi touched his back silently, "Every time I think of my sister actually under you, I am full of hatred, you die......" and then the bloody blade came out of Aku's abdomen with a popping sound of broken intestines, and Estu held the handle of the knife fiercely, and the delivery stirred a few times, Aku's pupils dissipated, and his body and limbs hung down, and he died in the arms of his brother-in-law.
The dancer's screams rang out again, "Disgusting woman, die." Estu jumped directly onto the bed and slashed off her head with a knife. (To be continued.) )
