Outside the city of Carmen.

Muren rode on his horse and looked at the city wall in front of him, after a few days of fierce siege battles, the city wall of Carmen City was already stained with blood, the originally strong city wall had almost become a ruin at this time, but his soldiers still could not attack the city, and there were still many Germanic defenders on the tattered city wall.

Odoase's soldiers had suffered a lot of casualties, and most of the men defending the city walls were now young and strong in the city, and they were originally citizens who could not fight, but after a few days of fierce fighting, they had become brave warriors.

After several days of tragic siege battles, more than 2,000 slaves in Muren's hands were killed and wounded, and these slaves were captured by him leading his troops to attack Hall's territory, and a total of more than 5,000 strong slaves were captured, neither old nor weak, and now less than half are left.

Odoaser was seriously injured, he could not walk on the ground, he could only stay in the city lord's palace and command remotely, the Germans under his rule knew that the city of Carmen was their last place of refuge, if the city was lost, they would wander again, if they could not escape, they would be captured and become slaves, so everyone in the city participated in the city defense battle, the young and middle-aged helped defend the city, and the old and weak women and children helped to transport the city defense materials, water and food.

"My lord, the man sent from Pazar has arrived!" A centurion reported to Muren.

Muren immediately said, "Quickly invite their centurion to come over!" ”

"Yes, sir!"

After a while, a young man in leather armor was ushered to Mu Ren's side, and he saluted Mu Ren and said, "My lord." Geely is ordered to report to you! ”

Muren nodded and said, "The general has sent me a letter saying that he will send a hundred-man team from Pazar to help me break the city, I want to know how you will break the city?" ”

Geely took a huge clay pot from a soldier beside him: "My lord, this is this thing." Its power is endless, as long as you continue to attack the city, leave the city gate to me, I promise to break the city gate in one time! ”

"Oh? Is this thing that powerful? Hmm, okay! Seeing that auspiciousness was full of confidence, Muren commanded in a loud voice: "Someone come, pass on my orders." Siege, this time the siege bounty and bereavement were doubled, and the first person to climb the city wall was rewarded with ten gold pounds. Ten women, land of 1,000 matis (a unit of Byzantine land area, 1 mati is equal to 1/12 hectare)".

"Yes, sir!" The herald immediately conveyed Muren's order, and the rich rewards and pensions made the slave soldiers feel like they had been beaten with blood. One by one, their eyes were red and ready to move. Waiting for the horn to sound for the attack.

"Uhh These slaves were also Germanic, but they were a Germanic tribe ruled by Hall, and now Hall's lair was taken to the end because Tolon's men blocked the traffic. The news of the constant attack on the city of Lair and Carmen could not reach the coalition camp, and the fact that Holben was in the coalition army did not know that he had become a lost dog.

"The Huns are attacking the city again. The Huns are attacking the city again, and everyone is defending the city with weapons! One of Odoase's generals shouted loudly on the walls with a great axe.

Hearing this voice, many people's first reaction was a tremor in their hearts, what they were most worried about was facing the enemy's attack again and again, and the attackers were their Germanic compatriots, these Germanic slaves were forced by the Huns to participate in the siege war, the Huns promised a good reward, and promised that only when the war ended, they would all get the status of free people, and allow them to pass freely in the territory of the commander Qin Dong, it is this kind of benefit, Let these slaves take up arms and go madly against the Germanic people, who were ruled by their fellow citizens Odoas.

The Germanic slaves who rushed to the city wall were stimulated by the rich rewards and bereavements, they had already gone crazy, one by one yelling and losing their minds to climb the city wall regardless of the dead and wounded, and fell to the ground after being hit by the stones smashed down from the city wall, as long as they could still move, they didn't know the pain at all, and climbed up the city wall again regardless of a qiē, this spirit of not fearing death made the Germanic people defending on the city wall tremble one by one, if it weren't for the fact that this was their last place to live, they needed to resist desperately, I am afraid that they would have abandoned the city long ago and fled.

Crazy roars, terrible screams, and bursts of fighting resounded up and down the city walls, and the Germanic slaves who had just climbed the city walls were hacked to death by the Germans on the city walls, or pushed off the city walls, and there were more Germanic slaves on the ladders who climbed up frantically, like ants.

Mu Ren looked up and down the city wall, only to see that Ji Li had led the hundred-man team he brought to push a huge siege vehicle covered with iron sheets towards the direction of the city gate, there were twelve wheels under the siege vehicle, the main material was made of wood, the overall structure was like a spire wooden house shape, extremely strong, it only had the shape of a siege vehicle, there was no siege ram, the eaves of the roof on both sides stretched out more than a meter long to both sides, and the soldiers hid under the eaves to protect it from enemy infantry, and there were no battering rams inside, Rather, dozens of soldiers propelled it forward, and during the siege, in order to prevent it from being burned by the enemy soldiers on the city walls, its roof and sides were covered with a layer of iron sheets, which could prevent both fire and arrows and stones, and its role was not to hit the city gates, but to protect the soldiers from advancing under the city gates.

As they had already been ordered, the other siege slaves completely moved out of the way of the city gate, so that Gili soon took his hundred-man troop to push the tin cart, and the soldiers hid under the eaves of the tin cart to the city gate.

"Alright, stop! Alert, blasting group to install explosives! Under his command, the soldiers who were still hiding under the eaves of the iron car immediately rushed out to guard both sides of the city gate to prevent the enemy in the city from opening the city gate and attacking the iron car at this time, and several soldiers of the demolition team carried a large clay pot and fixed it in the middle of the city gate, and it was done in only a few minutes.

"Centurion, installation complete!" The leader of the demolition team reports to Geely.

Geely immediately said: "Light the fuse, everyone else retreats, and they all hide under the iron car and retreat to fifty steps away, hurry up!" ”

......The fuse was ignited, and the soldiers in charge of protection and the soldiers of the demolition team all hid under the tin car under Geely's name and pushed the tin car back fifty meters in reverse.

"Boom" a loud sound, as if the earth shook the mountain, the city gate building trembled, the Germanic people on the city gate tower were unstable and fell on the city wall, the slaves who were climbing the ladder nearby were also shaken and fell, and many people were scared to fall, many people heard this huge explosion, they thought that the gods were angry, and they were so frightened that they trembled and crawled on the ground and kept praying for the forgiveness of the gods.

When the smoke and dust cleared, the huge two city gates had already been blown up and fell into the city, and the entrance of the city gate was completely opened, and many Germanic people in the city could be seen prostrate on the ground, trembling with fright.

Ji Li brandished the Yanling knife and pointed in the direction of the city gate: "Warriors, the city gate has been blown open, everyone rushed in with me, kill, kill!" After saying that, he rushed to the city gate.

"Kill!" The other soldiers also followed the life of Jili, waving their weapons and rushing towards the city gate with great excitement.

Muren didn't know that Geely would make such a big move, after a loud noise, the war horses under his crotch were so frightened that they almost knelt down, he was still a good horse, and the other horses were even more unbearable, and some were directly scared to pee.

When he saw Geely rushing towards the city gate with his hundred-man team, the city was immediately broken, as long as he rushed into the city, the overall situation was completely stabilized, and he immediately ordered: "Order the infantry to rush in behind Jili, and anyone who resists will be killed!" ”

"Yes, sir!"

When Gili led his troops into the city, the morale of the Germanic people in the city was suddenly lost, and everyone except for a few trained soldiers was thinking about how to escape.

The city lord's mansion, Odoaser was wrapped in a white cloth all over his body, his internal injuries were not yet healed, and now he was in critical condition, and he had to command the defense of the city with illness, when there was a loud noise in the direction of the city wall, and the ground shook a few times, his heart was raised, and he immediately sent someone to ask what was going on, and it didn't take long for the soldiers who were sent out to crawl and run in in a panic and shouted: "Chief, it's not good, it's not good, the Huns don't know how to knock down the city gate, Now they are rushing into the city gates, and our people on the other side of the city gates can't stop them at all, many people have been killed, and we should flee quickly, chief, because it will be too late if we don't escape."

A centurion next to him said dejectedly: "Where to escape?" The gates of the city are blocked by them, and to go out is to die! ”

Odoaser seemed to have aged a lot all of a sudden, he fixed his mind and pointed outside: "The people in charge of the siege are the people of Hall, we look the same as them, in order to distinguish them from us, the Huns tied red cloth strips around their necks, I can't save the others, whether they can survive can only depend on their own luck, how many people are there here?" ”

The centurion next to him said, "There are more than fifty!" ”

"Okay, go find the red cloth, and then tear it into strips of cloth and distribute it to them, we tie the red cloth strips around our necks and dress up as those slave soldiers to go out of the city, and when we get out of the city, we will immediately flee to the south, we can't stay here, we will find a way to go to the coalition army, the Huns must have blocked our contact with the coalition army a long time ago, otherwise the coalition army will not come to rescue us now, go and prepare immediately!"

"Yes, Chief!" (To be continued......)
