Chapter 36: Breaking the Siege

In the darkness of the night, the clatter of horses' hooves shattered the Bavarian Janissaries' hopes of victory. They thought they could take Probez in one fell swoop, but they didn't expect that Bohemian reinforcements would appear at this critical juncture, and no one knew how many cavalry those suddenly rushed out of the city.

This unexpected development caused many of the Bavarian Janissaries to fear something they had never felt before, and the cavalry rushing out of the darkness rushed in like a tidal wave.

"Crush the enemy in front of you, His Royal Highness the Prince is watching you!" Perrault, who was at the forefront of the line, shouted loudly, clutching the cavalry sword and slashing down a Praetorian Guard soldier with a wave of his hand. As the most senior knight in the Maple Leaf Knights, Perrault felt that he should rush to the front so that the rookies could know how the knights charged and how to kill.

The young knights who followed behind Perrault were full of fighting passion, and they also followed Perrault's example, constantly shouting loudly, and the knight's sword in his hand also made some exaggerated movements to intimidate the Praetorian Guard soldiers who did not know the details. Sturdy figures and sturdy horses burst out of the alleys of Probez and swooped down on the already lost West Gate.

Speaking of which, many young knights appeared on the battlefield for the first time, and some young people looked extremely nervous, and their trembling hands were no better than the rookies of the border regiment who went to the battlefield for the first time. But in Batternia, they are highly trained in riding, and their fighting skills are far beyond the ordinary. When facing the experienced Praetorian Guards, they were caught by their opponents in the fatal weakness, and their opponents felt at a loss for a while.

They suddenly appeared in the darkness of the night and saved the defeat that had been completely dissolved. These knights, dressed in thick plate armor, rushed to the vicinity of the collapsed walls of Probez in one fell swoop, and used the unique impact of cavalry to crush the panicked Praetorian Guard formation.

The sound of fighting, which had only been slowly waning just now, turned into a fierce battlefield again with the addition of the Maple Leaf Knights, some of whom were holding torches in their hands and waving their swords in the other. In the flickering firelight, illuminated swords and splatters of blood red once again adorned the dark night sky.

Naxi, who was already about to give up completely, couldn't help but shout loudly to the survivors behind him after seeing this exhilarating scene: "It's our reinforcements coming. It's those Maple Leaf Knights! Don't give up! We still have a chance to win!"

In this gap, the Praetorian Guard next to him planned to kill the annoying magician in front of him with a jump slash, but his attempt was discovered by Sukos.

"Be careful, Captain!"

Naxi, who received the reminder, dragged his tired body and prepared to attack. Having lost the effect of the Demon Flow attachment, he picked up a long sword stuck in the ground and blocked the enemy's slash at him. As he parried, he raised his leg and kicked the Bavarian Praetorian Guard, who was confronting him, down the crumbling wall.

"Don't think about stepping over the walls again!" Naxi, who had already felt the reversal of attack and defense, shouted loudly to the Praetorian Guards. Looking at the hideous-looking mages and the increasing number of knights, the Bavarian Praetorian Guard felt that it was impossible to completely recapture Probez under their eyes.

Encouraged by Naxi, the remaining soldiers of the border regiment also began to cheer up. Although they had long been preparing in the previous ritual to hand over their souls after death to Arman, the god of war. But when it was confirmed that there was a chance of a comeback in this battle, they all felt that they should try to survive.

The sudden cavalry assault and the hard work of the remnants of the border guard regiment made it impossible for the Praetorian Guards, who had broken the city, to advance half a step further. On the contrary, they were hit by the Maple Leaf Knights, and they even began to stand on their feet and began to retreat.

The night was already dark, and Diodos, who was waiting impatiently, was still annoyed why the Praetorian Guard had not moved for a long time after they had rushed over. Just as he was about to send a herald to urge the Janissaries to hurry up and take Place, a soldier with a bloody face rode up to his tent.

"Oh no, Your Excellency. The panting cavalry hurriedly jumped off his horse and said, "We were patrolling to the east when we were surrounded by the sudden appearance of Bohemian cavalry, and the others were killed by the enemy. I was the only one who escaped. ”

"What, the Bohemian cavalry?" said the last thing Diodos wanted to happen, "damn it! ”

Although Diodos had been sending men to patrol outside Probez, he even sent some men to defend against reinforcements that might come from the direction of Mlada. Because but == because in so many days of the siege. Theodos did not see the so-called Bohemian reinforcements. In addition, the intelligence department swore to him that the fat pig king now ignored Probez's subordinates. Therefore, in this siege, he transferred all those who were used to block reinforcements to the siege, leaving only a few patrols to patrol the surroundings.

I didn't expect it to be such a rash decision. Unexpectedly, the reinforcements that would not have appeared rushed directly into Probez. At this moment, Diodos felt happy, because if he really wanted to be held accountable, he still had to attach a certain amount of responsibility.

"How many cavalry are there?" asked Diodos, observing what was happening in Probez.

"There were probably close to a thousand cavalry, and in addition to that, there were quite a few infantry. I came back from the enemy's infantry. "Thinking about the moment of horror just now. The young Bavarian soldiers were still a little scared. It took all his strength to get out of the siege and return to the barracks to report on the enemy he had encountered......

Standing on the hillside, Diodos observed the condition of the western walls of Probez, the light of the fire flickering in the darkness slowly converging into a bright light like a small stream. Theodos was well aware that those with torches must have been completely unanticipated enemy reinforcements.

In order to avoid a situation that he couldn't accept, Diodos thought for a while and decided to end today's siege early. As the supreme commander of the Praetorian Guard, he was sympathetic to all his subordinates, and Diodos could not afford to lose anything in an abnormal battle.

The melodious sound of trumpets drifted from outside the city into the two sides that were still fighting, and when they heard this horn, the Bavarian Janissaries invariably chose to retreat. The Praetorian Guards, who were tense on every nerve, retreated step by step, and all they had to do now was how to retreat peacefully.

Although it is not yet known how many enemy reinforcements there are, Diodos's original joy has been overshadowed. He even began to think about the possibility of retreating from under Probez, which had been overwhelmed by the siege for several days. If he did not return to Plevy with the wounded to recuperate, it would be a great risk under the threat of the enemy's troops, and Diodos could not take this risk. (To be continued......)
