The "Grand Duke" nervous little sunfish grabbed the corner of Gawain's robe for the first time, looked at the scene of the desperate fight on the curtain wall, and asked with fear, guilt and uneasiness.

But Gawain didn't reply half a word, Agnes raised her eyes and looked at him, feeling that at this moment, his beard was pierced through the skin, densely growing, the corners of his mouth were constantly twitching, and his eyes wanted to spew fire, "Retreat, keep retreating, Goliath, Bramson, you two idiots, and Giovanni, what are you still hesitating, you are too stupid to do it!" I wish I could whip you in the tent with a horsewhip in your face. ”

Then, Gawain clenched his fists and yelled, "What do you want that flag to do, take it down!" Agnes also held her hair and knelt down with a cry, tears welling up in her eyes.

"Take the banner of the enemy!" At this moment, under the curtain wall, the brave defenders once again used long crowbars and fire canisters to destroy the last reserve of the Red Hand Brigade's ladder, and Nika used the last reserve to pounce, and more than 20 German Germans who stepped into the battle path of the city wall dared to die, all of them died in battle, they were like dense bushes, all the corpses were standing, holding various weapons, surrounding Diem's face, his armor and body were full of arrows from the enemy, countless wounds were still bleeding, and in the billowing black smoke, Dim was still standing, protecting the banner in his hand"Come to me." The warriors who were still shouting for the follow-up rushed in.

But no one answered him—the Red Hand Brigade had retreated, and the burned ladders were scattered with corpses, lying in the muddy swamp. and on the slope under the curtain wall.

In the harsh sunlight, dozens of defenders held axes and spears. Tired of corpses on the battlefield, shouting and rushing towards Dem and his military flag. Without hesitation, Dim turned his head, pulled the battle flag, and jumped off the city—and in an instant, the defenders tore off the golden tassels and tassels from the banner, as well as a small half of the flag.

Bramson was picked up, but his arm was wounded again, and Deem fell into the bushes below the city, where the defenders behind the curtain wall lined up to draw their bows. Then the two of them poked their heads down to look at it, and then dropped the iron hook, ready to hook Diem's body and the battle flag.

After the wooden platoon was erected, the craftsmen saw that their besieging soldiers were defeated, and they stubbornly and calmly controlled the catapult and the stone throwing cart again, and hit the curtain wall intensively. The figures of the defenders shook twice behind the battlement, and then disappeared, "What are you afraid of, hook up the corpse of that giant and the flag." Hanging on the wall to show the public, Gao Wen's morale will collapse, who can hook up. 300 gold coins! Nika was furious when she learned of this. The order to die was given.

Under the urging of the blind veteran, the defenders once again mustered up their courage. Braving the steady stream of stone projectiles, he threw the iron hook and stretched it out towards the bushes where Dim was. After a while, Diem's bloody body was hooked by the hook on the belt and iron ring of the armor, and then the four iron hooks were used at the same time, stretched straight, and the defenders used their strength to pull Dim against the city wall, and slowly pulled him to a place four or five feet above the ground.

When Goliath's body appeared in the field of vision of the craftsmen and soldiers, all the siege equipment stopped firing, the scene fell silent, many soldiers knelt down, wept and mourned for the giant, some prayed silently, and Agnes couldn't help but tears, Gawain half knelt down, patted her shoulder, and looked at Goliath, who was still being hung up on the curtain wall, her throat surged, and she didn't know what to say.

"Hiss-hiss", the defending soldiers holding the iron hook and rope, suddenly heard this sound, and then they looked down, and were surprised to see that the silk of the rope was exploding rapidly in a circle, and then there was a dull snap, and it broke—Diem's heavy body, half of which fell sharply, and then another rope snapped and broke, and the city and the city shouted in unison—in this exclamation, Dim fell with a bang, and fell diagonally along the soil where the base of the city was located, and rolled down again, dusty, and then there was silence, Whether it was the defenders at the head of the city who were stunned by the broken ropes, or the soldiers of the Red Hand Brigade under the city pursing their lips, and then the voices of Giovanni and Muzafiadin burst out, "Raise your shield and take Goliath's corpse back!" ”

"Oh, ah!" When many soldiers wearing chain mail began to leap back into the swamp, ready to snatch back the corpses and battle flags under the cover of the wooden canopy. They were stunned again:

Diem's body moved, his arms moved, and then he held himself to the ground, and then slowly lifted half of his body, and then, under the gaze of a thousand pairs of eyes, he actually stood up, grunted twice, limped, ran into the bushes, picked up the broken flag, wrapped it around his body, and then ran like this, and threw it into the siege equipment field with a puff of smoke.

Then he ran to Judge Giovanni with blood on his face and said the first thing he said, "I'm hungry." ”

The defenders on the curtain wall, with their bows and arrows, watched as Dim ran back, and none of them shot out, until a huge cheer broke out in the equipment yard of the Red Hand Brigade, and only then did the two arrows not stop, and with a weak sound, they fell diagonally to the besieging wood, and then bent and rolled down.

"While hooking the corpse, and then resurrecting the corpse, letting the giant run away?" Nika wanted to say it, unable to believe her eyes, but swallowed it back, and then the old man lowered his head and beard, and sighed, "Now we can only hold on and count on the reinforcements of Prince John." ”

And after nightfall, inside Gawain's scarlet tent, Diem. Goliath sat cross-legged on the empty carpet in front of Gawain's chair, and Agnes and Muzafiadin, who had turned their worries into joy, were bringing each other's favorite food to his lips in a pot, and miraculously, although Dim was covered in blood, he was all bruised, and he did not have any fractures when he fell into the city, only a little delirious.

"Ah, sausage!" Muzafiadin screamed in terror, and threw a bowl of food into Agnes's hand, and she handed it over to the giant.

The surrounding generals immediately laughed, but then Gao Wen's expression was serious, "In this siege battle, we have lost it outright. ”

Merlot, Giovanni, and others, including Agnes, fell silent.

"Now, maybe Prince John of Panphelia will bring an army to reinforce Alamanburg, once the other side succeeds, the plan for a quick attack will be miscalculated, and when the middle of winter comes, if I can't withdraw to reinforce Antioch, then maybe the pilgrims will be defeated on both fronts at the same time, and the biggest beneficiary is the emperor of Constantinople." Gawain was worried, and then he cleared his throat, "Ladies and gentlemen, the situation is far from being as optimistic as you think, and the most critical and testing moment has just arrived.
