Chapter 124: Battle Five

"Kill !!"

"Ahhh......hh

Driven by the officers who were hidden in it, the Crusader cannon fodder survived three rounds of arrows, and finally reached the garrison array under the city of Meghara, and the completely different shouts suddenly resounded through the heavens and the earth!

It was the Seris Revival soldiers who shouted to kill, and it was the undetermined street boys of Pylos's slaves and crusader cannon fodder who shouted to vent their fears......

The Crusader cannon fodder climbed over the low wall of sheep and horses, and then was poked a hole by the Cyris spearmen waiting behind!

Alibach knew very well how bad the fighting will of these peasant soldiers temporarily recruited by the noble lords was, and he dispatched a real elite soldier behind him to act as a warlord, and any soldier who turned back and fled could not escape their broadswords and long swords!

These warlords stood just outside the effective range of bows and arrows on the walls of Megala!

The performance of the Pyrrhos slaves was even worse than Lei Zihao expected, and when the Crusader cannon fodder rushed over, many Pyros slaves holding wooden shields were even directly paralyzed on the ground in fright, and their feces and urine were all out......

The Pyros people who are willing to be oppressed by Lei Zihao and become slaves are mostly cowards, and it is not uncommon for them to be scared or pee at this time in the face of so many people stabbing each other at close range......

Lei Zihao, who was standing at the hidden high point, looked at the performance of the Pilos slaves in the formation below the city, and knew that his attempt was basically a failure......

"Those peasant conscripts are just numb and thoughtless, and they still have some courage to be forced to the desperate ground, but these Pylos slaves, I'm afraid they are useless except for work......"

Under the continuous falling boulders, the infantry phalanx under the city plus the Pilos slaves can reach nearly 10,000 people, and the resistance is far less solid than Lei Zihao imagined!

It's not that the Seris Renaissance soldiers don't work hard, it's because they work so hard that they can hold on!

The war death pension given by Lei Zihao is still very deserving, and these Seris soldiers are also very stabbed under the dual encouragement of national survival and material interests6.

It's a pity that the Pilos slaves, who occupy the majority of the numbers, can't even do something as simple as raising a shield!

The infantry phalanx under the city is very close, basically two Pylos slaves have one large wooden shield, and each Seris spearman can have two large wooden shields to protect!

The spear only needs to be poked through the gap between the wooden shields!

The idea is very beautiful, but the fight is very annoying!

Not to mention those Pyros slaves who were directly scared and paralyzed on the ground, in the face of more and more people who were far more than their own crusader cannon fodder climbing over the sheep and horse wall, the speed of the collapse of these Pylos slaves was beyond Lei Zihao's imagination!

If it weren't for the Seris soldiers behind stabbing to death all the Pilos slaves who turned and fled, I'm afraid this phalanx would have collapsed long ago......

Of course, the Cyris spearmen can maintain the phalanx, and it has a lot to do with whether the Crusader cannon fodder fights or not, and turning around as deserters These Crusader cannon fodder don't dare, but when they face each other, it is still very simple to use all the offensive strength for defense!

It's just that the crusader cannon fodder is constantly being thrown into the new force, and the crowd behind it is pouring up, and the cannon fodder in front can't move forward, and many people are unlucky enough to be directly pushed to the tip of the spear of the Seris soldiers by the 'friendly army' behind!

At the same time, the rain of arrows on the walls of the city kept firing at a constant speed, and the archers on the walls of Megara did not have to worry about being injured by mistake, and the crowds of the Crusader cannon fodder were so thick that it was enough for them to shoot at the back of the battle line with their eyes closed......

With 20,000 people crowded under the city of Meghal, the archers under Lei Zihao's command need to worry about how long their arm strength can continue to shoot, not whether they can shoot at their target......

Under the fire of the rain of arrows, the Crusader cannon fodder paid a lot of price, and the Cyrisian spearmen under the city did not actually kill many people, and most of the fallen Crusader cannon fodder were archers who died on the city walls!

Of course, during this period, hundreds of soldiers on and under the walls of Megara became the 'sauce' under the boulders. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

After a fierce battle lasted for an hour, the crusader cannon fodder had to retreat under heavy casualties, and Alibach did not expect that the continuous attack of tens of thousands of people did not even flatten the infantry phalanx under the city of Megala!

It's just that after the wave of Crusader cannon fodder receded, the gates of Megara City were slowly opened, and the surviving Cyres spearmen under the city returned to the city one after another, including the Pylos slaves who were lucky to be alive!

Before the start of the war, nearly 10,000 troops formed a phalanx under the city, but after returning, there were less than 5,000 remaining......

While most of them were Pylos slaves killed by Seris soldiers and crusader levies, the Seris spearmen among them also suffered more than a thousand casualties!

It can be said that the establishment of the Seris Revival Army under the city has been crippled!

Fortunately, under the military system set up by Lei Zihao, every rank above the captain level has a large number of substitute deputies, and these Cyris soldiers with a crippled structure can barely maintain their combat effectiveness, as long as they take a break, it is no problem to continue fighting on the battlefield!

Compared with the fighting spirit of the Seris soldiers, the Pylos slaves who returned to the city were like losing their souls, and many of them still smelled of feces and urine, which made Lei Zihao very annoyed!

After the Pyrrhos slaves returned to the city, a group of Pyros slaves who had performed too poorly were pulled out in public and their heads were cut off!

This is a warning to the slaves of Pylos in the city, let them know that if they dare to cut corners in this battle, they will be killed at any time and at any time!

Alibach was not surprised by the withdrawal of the infantry phalanx from Megara City, although it was very fresh that the formation below the other city was not defeated by tens of thousands of troops, but anyone with a discerning eye could see that the infantry of Megara City under the city was close to the limit, not only the casualties, but also the weakening of physical strength and morale!

Unless the Seris pulled out another group of fresh troops to defend the city to form an infantry phalanx, they had to retreat to the city to defend.

Compared with Lei Zihao's losses, the crusaders left nearly 10,000 corpses under the city, many of which were seriously wounded and did not die, and were sent on a ride by the Cyres spearmen who cleaned up the battlefield......

This is the cruelty of ancient warfare, due to the backward medical conditions, most of the soldiers who are just injured and unable to run away, can only watch the victors execute themselves on the spot!

In ancient wars, even intact prisoners of war were in danger, not to mention these wounded soldiers with limited mobility, even in the eyes of their own generals, such soldiers were a burden!

Alibach was unconcerned about the losses of the crusaders, and after a few hours of rest, the real siege began!
