Chapter Ninety-Two: Retreat
Above the city, the bloody slaughter continues, and the situation at the city gates is even more dangerous. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Macedonians' onslaught was like a flood pouring down, wave after wave, as if it was not only hitting the city gate, but also shaking the hearts of hundreds of soldiers in the city!
Alok had already arrived at the city with his personal guards, and he raised the long sword in his hand, his voice was passionate and a little hoarse, but it was still loud and rough:
"Soldiers, it's time to fight, keep the gates with Lao Tzu, and don't let this group of damned Macedonians rush into the city.
All obey the order, those who enter live, and those who retreat die!"
The Aloque Knight's expression was serious, and he urged the fighting qi in his body, and a glimmer of light immediately appeared on the blade of the sword in his hand. The knight slashed his sword to the ground with all his might, and a long mark was immediately made on the stone-paved ground.
"The personal guards, supervise the battle behind me, there are garrisons who are afraid of war, and those who cross this line will be killed!"
Aroque's voice was cold and firm, and it immediately resounded through the city!
Among the nearly 1,000 soldiers guarding the city gate, most of them were the old troops scattered by Yalok and assigned to various chaotic armies. And those other rebels heard Alok say this, and their hearts suddenly cooled half, and then looked at the overseers behind Alok who were holding swords and had a murderous face, where did they still have the courage to retreat half a point?
Damn, it's better to die on the battlefield than to be killed as a deserter!
These rebel armies were originally some brave and ruthless soldiers, but when they saw the grim situation at this moment, the ruthlessness in their hearts was also forced out, so they simply gritted their teeth, raised their shields in their hands, and rushed forward to kill!
At this time, the city gate, which had been stormed by the Macedonians for a long time, could no longer hold on, although a large number of soldiers behind the gate were resisted with spears and sticks, they could not withstand the rush of hundreds of people outside the city wall.
Finally, with the last impact, the city gate let out a dull cracking sound, and it was squeezed in two by the pressure inside and outside the gate! The soldiers supporting behind the gate were also suddenly pushed into the city by the dense Macedonian crowd!
"Garrison, listen to orders!Raise your shield, rush up, and resist Lao Tzu!!"
Alok roared, and a large number of garrisons immediately surrounded the city gate, and there were seven or eight layers of shields. Rushing towards the dense influx of enemy troops at the city gate, the outermost soldiers suddenly felt a powerful force slam into the shield!
The Macedonian army was like a flood, and after the city gate was breached, it suddenly poured into the gap! Facing the shield of the defenders in the city, these guys showed the Macedonian fanaticism for war!
The Macedonians who were the first to storm the city gates frantically rammed into the garrison's shield phalanx, wielding their scimitars and heavy axes to slash at the shields. However, the garrison has long been prepared, these shields are a kind of special defensive shields, more than one person high, the thickness is more than ten centimeters, divided into three or four layers of metal material combination, the weight alone is almost dozens of kilograms.
Obviously, Alok had already anticipated that the city gate would not be able to be defended, so he arranged such a heavy infantry team under the city.
"Infantry, spear!"
Just when the Macedonians could not attack, Yarok suddenly roared, and in the front row of the garrison, a row of sharp spears suddenly pierced out of the gap between the shields! The sharp spears suddenly easily pierced the armor of the Macedonian soldiers, like a string of gourds, killing and wounding dozens of people at once.
The outermost Macedonian soldiers immediately fell to the ground, but these guys were fiercely tight, and many soldiers stabbed their knives behind their shields before dying. Some Macedonians were dying and struggling, and even took the spear directly with their hands, pulled it hard, and pulled the spear out from behind the shield alive!
However, under such an attack and defense, the casualties of both the Macedonians and the garrison increased, and the ground at the city gate was covered with blood, and it was almost impossible to stand. A strong smell of blood rushed up, and the city was full of Macedonians and garrison corpses!
José was protected by Martin and the guards, but the tragic scene was real. Although it was not the first time that José had seen this kind of fighting scene, he still couldn't help but turn pale, and Martin on the side also looked solemn, organizing guards to block the Macedonians who tried to approach.
At this time, Gould ran over, half of the fat man's face was covered with blood, he couldn't tell whether it was the enemy's or his own, and the armor on his body was a little broken, but a pair of eyes were bright:
"Now, Mr. Jose, please do it!"
José listened to the fat man's request, and the look on his face was also dark, and only then did he notice that the number of guards behind Gould was at least half less. The city was full of soldiers fighting in twos and threes, and the war had entered a white-hot stage, although the Macedonians had suffered a lot of losses, but there were still thousands of troops outside the city to the city walls.
José nodded, took a deep breath, and drew his wand. After a surge of magical power, a magical pattern of six-pointed stars suddenly appeared under his feet, emitting a soft light. Jose's eyes lit up, and he immediately recited a spell in his mouth, and as he spoke more and more urgently, there was a sudden change on the battlefield!
The sky was still clear, but suddenly a strong wind rose, and a thick dark cloud rolled and gathered outside the city, and the dark clouds of black pressure and low pressure hung over the Macedonian army.
The clouds were gathering more and more, almost as thick as ink, and Jose's face was slightly pale, and only then did he stop the incantation. His eyes stared coldly below, where the Macedonians were. José raised his wand and pointed at it, and a dazzling bolt of lightning slashed straight down from the clouds, landing right on the densest part of the Macedonian army.
With a bang, the loud sound of thunder exploding came, and the crowd struck by lightning suddenly exploded, and at least dozens of Macedonians died under the heavy blow of this lightning!
In the midst of the roar, mixed with the screams and frightened cries of countless people, the ranks of the Macedonian side immediately became noisy and agitated.
But José ignored it, his fingers pointed nimbly, like a god in charge of thunder and lightning, and lightning followed his guidance, smashing the Macedonian army with the power of thunder!
Such a terrible upheaval suddenly caused the Macedonian army to be in chaos, if it was the enemy's heavy crossbow arrows, it could also be blocked by armor and shields, but now it was thunder in the sky, how could this terrible blow be avoided?
As soon as the army's heart was confused, the Macedonian offensive suddenly slowed down, and a few sharp-eyed Macedonian officers saw that the head of the city was waving a command, and the thunder and lightning went down, and immediately guessed the problem:
"It's a magician, there are magicians in this group of defenders of the Empire of Light!!"
Such a discovery greatly reduced the morale of the Macedonian soldiers, and many Macedonians immediately showed a twinkle of fear in their eyes. There were also many fierce Macedonian soldiers who threw their short spears in their hands, trying to shoot the magicians at the head of the city. As soon as the short spear touched the aperture beside the magician, it immediately bounced off obliquely as if it had hit a wall.
However, such a provocation seemed to anger the magician, and with a wave of his palm, a huge fireball suddenly rose into the air and smashed directly into the Macedonian soldiers who attacked him.
The situation on the battlefield took a sharp turn for the worse, and the Macedonian army, which had originally had the advantage, was in turmoil, and at this time Gould and Yarok also reacted, and immediately organized soldiers to counterattack, and the Macedonian army was even more panicked, seeing that the formation was about to be chaotic.
At this moment, there was a humming trumpet sound in the distant camp, and when the Macedonian army heard this sound, they immediately turned around and ran backwards as if they had been pardoned!
The Macedonians have withdrawn!!(To be continued.) )
