It is rare for a battlefield in Europe to have more than 10,000 people fighting, and 100 people can take a city-state. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

But that was the case, and the defense of the holy city of Jerusalem was not part of the ranks.

History records that in the defense of the Holy City on the eve of the Third Crusade, Saladin used a total of 200,000 troops.

An army of 200,000 was too large to be a large number for Jerusalem, which had only 70,000 or 80,000 men left.

Standing on the towering city wall, Li Kuan could see the scene of thousands of troops and horses rushing in the wilderness in the distance.

The roar of horses' hooves, the creaking of siege towers on the land, the dull footsteps of warriors, like a grand recital, wanted to crush the morale of Jerusalem.

Baldwin IV is okay, after all, he is a king, and there are many scenes of battle.

Li Kuan and Tom Riddle's godfather are also not bad, although the black head gives them a certain amount of pressure, but as the leader, they will stick to their pride and stand firmly.

But Professor Quirrell, who had seen such a grand scene for the first time, was a little restless.

How many wizards are there in the entire wizarding world of England? All of them add up to no more than 10,000 people, and they are still distributed in various parts of the country.

Muggles, for all their numbers, would never gather 200,000 to attack the same place.

The current situation made him a little scared, but fortunately, Godfather Tom Riddle controlled his body, so he didn't make a fool of himself on the spot.

"Will you negotiate? I guess I can negotiate! Professor Quirrell whispered over and over again, it would be best not to fight.

Li Kuan's hand holding the wand shook slightly and said, "No." ”

"Why?"

"If someone gave you a slap in the face, would you walk over and smile and shake hands with him?"

"I'll beat it back."

Saladin thought so, too.

As if to confirm Li Kuan's claim, one of Saladin's trebuchets was the first to throw a large stone.

The roaring boulder smashed against the wall, causing the entire wall to tremble.

"Fight back!" Baldwin IV calmly said to his herald. "Prepare for contact battles."

It wasn't long before the trebuchets in Jerusalem began to project construction waste out of the city, starting the most common 'cannon fire' in the Middle Ages.

"Is there a sense of immediacy when a child plays with a slingshot?" Li Kuan looked at the boulder whistling out, turned around and whispered to Tom Riddle's godfather who had a stiff face. "You hit me, I'll hit you, see who can't stand it first."

Tom Riddle looked at the Muslim soldier who was crushed into meatloaf by the boulder, and could no longer hold back his serious expression, and glanced at Li Kuan strangely and said, "This slingshot is a bit big, and it hurts a little bit." ”

Not only is it a little painful, for ordinary Muslim soldiers, it is terrifying to be exploded by chrysanthemums!

Who doesn't worry about a boulder suddenly falling from the sky!

In the crowded queue, there was no way to escape if you wanted to, so it was directly pressed into a meatloaf and lifted out to make human meat jam!

The fear of the 'artillery fire' made them rush to the walls of Jerusalem with the ladder men without the urging of their commanders.

Then the mid-range archers began to scatter, stray arrows flying in the sky, always hitting someone else.

In a short period of time, the two wind elements guarding Li Kuan's side intercepted hundreds of tributary arrows for Baldwin IV, Li Kuan, Tom Riddle and other big names.

On the battlefield, under the cover of the archers, the soldiers began to climb up the ladder of the ladder man.

They were greeted by rolling stones and swords, and the fierce expressions of the soldiers of the Kingdom of Jerusalem.

The corpses of Muslim soldiers began to pile up under the walls, and countless mutilated corpses fell from the walls in a twisted shape.

Some are missing heads, some are missing hands and feet, and some are disemboweled...... The stench of blood began to spread across the walls, disgusting and disgusting.

As the death toll increased, Li Kuan could feel the pent-up negative energy in the air gathering without the need for shadow energy.

"If only I could still use the Dark Arts," Tom Riddle whispered with some nostalgia, "this is the best birthplace for the walking dead (see The Walking Dead Guarding Horcruxes). ”

"And then, we'll be driven out of Jerusalem by that old guy over there in the name of the evil gods." Lee pouted and motioned to Father Tom Riddle to pay attention to the Catholic archbishop sitting on the other side.

"I'm just feeling the horrors of the Muggle War." Godfather Tom Riddle said, "I only killed a dozen people in the British wizarding world before I was put alive as the Dark Lord. Should they be called Demon Gods? ”

"Call you the Dark Lord, that's because you're crazy, and when you're crazy, you even beat yourself." Li Kuan said after rolling his eyes. "Normal wizards, not even dark wizards, would do that."

"I didn't!"

"Not yet! Dumbledore's godfather said that you broke your soul into pieces and hid them with treasures. ”

“……”

The war continued, and as time went on, Muslim soldiers climbed the wall and Jerusalem soldiers began a tug-of-war, and the number of deaths on both sides began to rise.

However, Baldwin IV, as the supreme commander, remained where he was, and had no intention of asking Li Kuan for help. Or that it is not yet the best time to ask Li Kuan for help.

After about a few hours, the sound of trumpets was heard from Saladin's army, and the Muslim soldiers who were still on the walls began to retreat from the battlefield in an orderly manner, and the soldiers of Jerusalem also tacitly stopped their attack and watched them exit Jerusalem in vigilance.

"That's it?" Li Kuan asked a little confused.

Saladin took advantage of the time of the soldiers' attack to set up camp and set it up outside Jerusalem. He is a strategic and calm man, and he is a difficult opponent to deal with. Baldwin IV explained to Li Kuan.

"Then why don't we take advantage of the victory and pursue and deal with part of the enemy." Professor Quirrell asked.

"Because we don't dare, after all, we only have tens of thousands of troops, but our opponents are more than 200,000. This left us with more than enough to defend and not enough to attack. Li Kuan said thoughtfully.

"Another point, this is just a test for both of us to see how strong the two sides are." Baldwin IV said, "Saladin's attacking troops are all ordinary troops, and the elite have not yet appeared, and although we have lost the Holy Knights, we have also hidden the Holy Light team brought by the messenger as insurance. ”

The Catholic archbishop, who had been listening, snorted coldly, dissatisfied with Baldwin IV's statement.

Although the Holy Knights are gone, there are still believers in Catholicism, and there is all of Europe! It is not impossible to form a Holy Order again.
