Chapter 63: Breakthrough

The garrison in the city hurriedly began to assemble towards the west gate,

Cliff, the commander of the city defense of the Ram Gate, even mounted a horse in the city and climbed the walled city on the west gate for the first time.

He pulled past the patrol who was ringing the bell and shouted, "What's going on?"

"My lord, see for yourself......"

The man trembled and raised his hand, pointing to the western horizon.

in sight. Behind a small dirt slope to the west, the Knights Templar team poked their heads out and quickly swept across the slope ahead.

Cliff gasped.

He was sure that the army in front of him was a well-trained cavalry regiment.

The ride speed of the upper group was fast, but it still maintained a careful formation.

Cliff, the commander of the city defenses, had a gloomy face, and he turned to look at the city behind him.

The two city defense teams that hurriedly arrived from Haimen for reinforcements were sparsely packed, and although the archers had tried their best to get there, it seemed that they could not climb the city wall before the enemy cavalry arrived.

Moreover, looking at their panting faces, I am afraid that even if they climb up, they will not have the physical strength to draw their bows and aim.

At this time.

A thunderous sound of horses' hooves outside the city poured into Cliff's eardrums.

His face trembled and turned a little pale.

He immediately shouted downward: "Don't come up, the infantry is lined up thirty paces away from the door, and the shield soldiers are ready to defend in front." ”

"Quick!"

The garrison below heard the order and began to move.

However, the cavalry of the Knights Templar came with great speed.

The deafening thunder grew louder and louder, and the Knights Templar's horses got closer and closer to the West Gate, and the rumbling hooves began to beat the hearts of every Ram Gate garrison soldier.

Finally, Cliff, the commander of the city's defenses, saw a large circular log tied with ropes between the knights of the Templar Order.

It was prepared siege beech.

The other party really came to break the city.

He hurriedly waved his arms towards the group of archers behind him, climbing the stairs to climb the wall.

"It's too late! The archers lined up on the spot, and the arc spread out"

"Quick!"

A cold sweat poured on the back of the city defense commander.

The Knights Templar, who had been specially rested, sprinted and ran very fast, and after a few moments, they were already close at hand.

One hundred steps!

Fifty!

The commander on the city wall immediately shouted to the infantry team that had finished the formation: "Defense, prepare for defense." ”

"Don't mess around, the archers are scattered, don't pile up. ”

"Damn, didn't you hear my orders? Damn, what are you doing in a daze, spread out, spread out. ”

There was a loud 'boom'.

interrupted the Commander's roar.

Immediately afterward, in a burst of dust, the gate of the wooden gate was violently slammed by the beech wood and collapsed.

Lovren led the Knights Templar, like demons, swarming into the city of Ram Gate.

"Long live the Knights Templar!"

"Kill!"

Lovren commanded loudly in the center of the Order.

The first cavalry to enter the city, stepping on the collapsed wooden gates, rushed in.

"Shoot the arrows!"

The archers of the garrison had not yet dispersed and lined up, so they could only draw their bows and shoot arrows on the spot.

Lovren judged the direction of the dense rain of arrows.

Split the ranks into two formations, bypassing the tightly formed infantry formations, and attacking the garrison's archers from the flanks.

The Ram City infantry defending with a giant shield in front of them were ready to withstand the impact of the cavalry.

However, the enemy's cavalry slid past them like loaches, with no intention of storming their formation.

The infantrymen who dared to be bad stepped forward to intercept them.

However, it was extremely stupid to lose the protection of the formation and rush to attack, and the cavalry did not hesitate to pass in front of them, and those who dared to take the lead were either knocked straight by the horses or pierced through the body by the spears and swords of the cavalry.

It is easy to pay the price of five or six tragic deaths.

The garrison infantry finally understood,

To get out of the defensive queue is to die, so no one wants to die so stupidly anymore.

The infantry retreated back into line, watching as the Templar cavalry passed before their eyes.

The soldiers of the archers in the rear were completely stunned when they saw this.

His own infantry compatriots unexpectedly got into a struggle with the enemy's cavalry.

Now, the group of cavalry like the Grim Reaper was rushing towards them straight and straight.

The archers, who had just pulled the bowstring two rounds, were so frightened that they could no longer suppress their fear, and fled backwards to dodge.

The first Knights Templar to enter the city avoided the defensive queue perfectly.

Take on the form of the Reaper of Death, chasing down hordes of panicked archers.

An archer who had no time to flee was overtaken by the cavalry, and the sharp blade of his sword slashed through his throat.

The archer clung to his neck and looked out of the corner of his eye in front of the city gate before he fell.

Wondering why, instead of attacking the garrison infantry positions that were clearly close at hand, these cavalry were rushing straight to the rear.

He had never heard of a northern army with such terrifying execution in the middle of the battle.

The archers in their own rear, being chased by the enemy's cavalry,

This was a devastating blow to the morale of the garrison infantry lined up in front.

The garrison infantry formation began to loosen, and the faces of the soldiers were stunned and incredulous.

Confused, he wondered whether to simply disperse the queue and rescue his fellow archers, or continue to line up here meaninglessly.

While the group hesitated, a rumbling horse's hoofs sounded outside the city, rolling up puffs of dust.

Cliff, the commander on the city walls, saw everything clearly.

The Knights Templar, before arriving at the Walled City, split into two groups.

It was only one of them who entered the city at this time.

There was also a team of knights left behind outside the city, and it was only at this point that they began to rush into the city.

For all this that was about to happen, the infantry in front of the city gate was not very prepared.

Their attention was drawn to the rear.

"Damn, there's still a cavalry on the other side. ”

"Prepare to ram, raise the shield. ”

Even if Cliff roared and shouted,

However, to no avail.

With enough space, the cavalry squad outside the city that could raise their pistols to charge was able to flatten the cold pistols early, and they were ready to attack, just waiting for an order.

"Knights Templar, charge!"

"Kill!"

In a frontal battle, the cavalry was already superior to the infantry.

And the cavalry charge with a horse pistol attack posture is even more lethal to the infantry.

The shield guards of the Ram Gate at the front of the array heard the roar and the sound of horses' hooves outside the city.

Turning his head in astonishment, a group of black shadows rushed from the city gate in the dust.

After a moment of horror.

These people hurriedly shouted, reminding the other soldiers in the back row of the array to prepare to meet the enemy.

"Crash, crash, prepare to defend!"

"Don't mess around, keep the formation!"

Disheveled!

The mighty and ferocious cavalry continued to ram into the infantry array, and the sharp horse pistols plunged straight into the crowd of infantry in the rear row.

The more than ten infantry in the front row were knocked upside down by the impact of the war horse and flew a few meters away at the moment of impact.

The oak shield saved them from being trampled to death by their horses or stabbed by spears.

However, after the people in the front row were knocked into the air, the back row was not so lucky.

The cavalry charge that followed continued.

Sharp spears stabbed into the crowd,

The scene fell into chaos, and the soldiers of the garrison array, unable to distinguish the cavalry on the horses, pierced the body of the unlucky man with their spears.

Whose body was pierced through a hole, whose head was directly trampled by the iron hooves of the war horse.

Their heads began to buzz.

In his ears, there was only a ghostly wail and a wolf-like wail and hiss.
