Hyypia himself was a little worried, he looked up at the figure of Verina on the city wall, and when the two looked at each other, he saw his own legion commander gently shake his head towards him. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

His face was a little ugly.

The Red Turban Sand Pirate cavalry around the city gate continued to move forward, intending to get a little closer, and at the same time, the artillery that had been drawn from Marlon's army was also advancing to a position where they could fire at the gate to form a defensive position.

At this time, a herald finally came from the city wall and gave Verina's order: "Withdraw to the city gate as quickly as possible." ”

This order really made the soldiers below feel pardoned, and although the whole team was not enough to crowd the city gate regardless of discipline, after receiving permission to retreat to the rear, the mood was also very agitated.

And when the enemies on the opposite side saw the soldiers guarding the gate and began to retreat towards the gate, they could no longer bear it.

The artillery that had just been pushed into the predetermined position opened fire quite decisively.

The soldiers of the garrison legion were stationed at the city gates, so they formed a very close formation. This is very effective in guarding against the enemy's surprise attack, but in the face of artillery bombardment, it undoubtedly increases the enemy's bombing power by several notches.

Six artillery pieces, just one round of shelling, before the north gate of Shawan Harbor, there was a burst of people on their backs.

With the roar of artillery fire, the Red Turban Sand Pirate Cavalry who had been cruising at the city gate for a long time finally began to charge! And the current situation is a good time for them to exert their might!

The Sand Pirate Cavalry is not a cavalry regiment that is good at frontal combat and frontal assault, but the infantry of the garrison regiment are under the bombardment of artillery, as well as the mentality of entering the city gate in a hurry, which makes their formation chaotic. And this is exactly what the sand pirate cavalry likes to see.

The leader of the sand pirates, 'Bald Dog' Darvel, was rushing at the front of all the sand pirates, his face flushed and excited. He was 100% sure that as long as he led these whistling cavalry under his command into the battlefield, he would be able to completely crush the already chaotic infantry phalanx, and then cover up and rush into the city.

And Hyypia, who was directing the soldiers to enter the city at the city gate, also felt numb when he saw such a scene. He knew it would be impossible to get all the soldiers back, but he still wanted to make one last effort.

"Don't mess around! Don't mess around! Officers at all levels organize their troops! Get ready for the charge! ”

His orders are not incorrect, but where does the team say that they can be integrated? Some of the officers of all ranks below him were quite conscientious, trying to lead their soldiers to form a strong defensive line, while some were greedy for life and afraid of death, and even did not hear this order, crowded to escape into the city gate first.

Hyypia was so angry that he drew his command knife and personally went on the field to cut off the heads of a squadron leader and two squad leaders, and shouted, "Give me orders!" Hold your ground! Don't mess around! ”

Thanks to his efforts, the effect is more or less some. At least two or three squadrons of soldiers were barely out of turmoil and ready for the onslaught.

The soldiers were all nervous, and the officers shouted loudly to boost morale, telling the soldiers to continue to hold on, and as long as they held on to the first assault, their comrades in the city behind would come out.

Under this cheering and encouragement, the infantry of the garrison regiment somewhat raised some fighting spirit. And a moment later, the hussars, with their red scarves and veils, were already close at hand.

In the blink of an eye, a fight begins!

The military formation, which had been chaotic and readjusted, was obviously not tight enough. Even if the warriors raised some morale, under the nimble equestrian and scimitar skills of the sand pirate cavalry, the formation of two or three squadrons of soldiers was cut to pieces in the blink of an eye.

At the very beginning of the battle, Hyypia's army was faced with a certain defeat, and in just two minutes, this defeat was completely sealed.

The infantry of the garrison regiment who were slaughtered had fifty or sixty people cut down to the ground in the blink of an eye. In this situation, the other soldiers finally could not continue to maintain their will to fight, and turned around and began to flee.

Then they saw a desperate scene: the gates had been closed at some point.

Hyypia's face was covered with blood and he cut off the leg of a war horse that swept past him, and before he could hack to death the fallen sand thief cavalry, he suddenly heard an angry curse.

He turned his head in a trance, and saw the city gate closed, and his head slammed.

The soldiers who slammed on the city gate either begged to open the door, or were overwhelmed with horror, or angrily scolded their comrades behind the gate for abandoning their comrades, but none of this could save the closed gate, and could not save the sand pirate cavalry from constantly storming and slashing behind.

The sand pirate cavalryman, who had just been knocked off his horse by Hyypia and broke his head and was bleeding, endured the pain and got up from the ground, and subconsciously gave Hypia, who was standing beside him stunned, a knife, but it was crooked, only the shoulder was hit, and the scimitar was stuck in the shoulder blade and could not be pulled out for a while.

The lieutenant colonel, who was the captain of the mercenary, screamed miserably, was awakened by the pain, and stabbed the sand thief cavalry to death with a backhand. He didn't lose control of his emotions like the soldiers behind him, he just had a miserable smile on his face.

He knew that today was his own death, and no one had told him that the city gates would be closed, and although he had a vague guess in his heart, he had never believed that the female knight with a gentle smile would really give such an order to abandon her subordinates and cut off the lives of hundreds of soldiers outside the city.

But the order still came, the closed door closed all hope of life, and in front of them, the cavalrymen wielding scimitars, smiling and reaping life.

Hyypia laughed miserably and pulled out the scimitar from his shoulder. In the midst of the severe pain, he raised his head, only to see several more sand pirate cavalry rushing towards him.

The lieutenant colonel laughed out loud and rushed straight ahead!

He doesn't fight for anyone anymore, it's a dead end to fight or surrender, so pull a few pads before he dies!

The captain of the wing, who had seven professional ranks, even after being wounded, jumped high and swung his sword, and the sand thief who was caught off guard and rushed the fastest was stabbed in the chest with a knife and thrown off his horse. Quickly got up, and with another sword, a cavalryman who was about to cut off his head with a scimitar, was cut off from his horse instead.

But that's where it stops. There were too many enemies in front of him, and they were all riding on desert horses and attacking with scimitars. When he killed the second cavalryman, he was stabbed in the back, and he turned his head to fight back, when suddenly a huge force came from in front of him - he was directly hit by a charging war horse.

Hyypia, who was unable to resist the impact of the war horse, was knocked to the ground, and before he could get up, another war horse stepped on his body. He felt his ribs break and he didn't know how many, and then one cutlass after another slashed down.

First pain, then numbness, and then, there was only a blood-red patch in front of his eyes.

The last glimpse of Hyypia's life rested on the heroic paladin standing at the head of the city, and he did not blink an eye. (To be continued.) )
