307 "Chivalry"

……

Edra looked down on William, the executioner and nouveau riche who made his fortune by killing civilians, and naturally scoffed at his words.

"Viscount William, if you think you can take Constantinople, then just go, no one will stop you,

But I am responsible for the lives of my soldiers, and God favors each of his believers, and no one can take their lives away at will. ”

William: "But God will not allow the existence of heretics to tarnish the sacred teachings, Count Edla, and we are dealing with a nation of heretics,

They are devils, and it is our duty to send them to hell, not to retreat because of the devil's roar, God will not allow it,

I beseech you not to go against God's will, and to continue to follow the will of the Holy See and to clear up the heresy together. ”

Edla: "But please don't forget that the lost cross of God was taken back by the Baisses from the pagans and delivered to the kingdom of Jerusalem themselves, and that heretics would be so devout to God?

In short, tomorrow I will lead the army back to Venice, this farce should not continue, our losses are too great. ”

With that, he got up and left the tent.

William wanted to persuade again, but was stopped by Otom: "Forget William, since the earl wants to leave, we don't have to force us to stay,

Now we have to get in touch with the coalition forces of the kingdoms on the Serbian border, and we have to rely on them because our siege engines cannot break through the walls of Constantinople. ”

William roared angrily: "These damned fellows, they are not for holy war at all, but for a group of out-and-out speculators, no different from heretics!" ”

Ottom: "Baron William! Pay attention to your words, they are our allies, the Holy See is very supportive of them, you cannot say anything unfavorable at such times, we should ......"

Suddenly, a hurried commotion sounded outside William's tent.

"What's going on? Why is it so noisy outside the tent? ”

"Damn, I'll go out and have a look!"

William had just reached the tent when he burst into a bloodied crusader soldier.

"Oh no, marshal, the enemy has launched a night attack on us, and many cavalrymen, all in armor, have already entered the camp."

Odom was stunned for a moment, then roared, "Impossible! It's absolutely impossible! The ironclad paladiers of the Baisai Empire have long since perished in the battle against the Sassanids,

It's been almost a hundred years now, and it's absolutely impossible for the Baisians to send out a second ironclad cavalry, you must be lying to me! ”

Soon, however, the sound of horses' hooves rang out in the camp, shattering the last of Otom's illusions.

"Prepare to defend against the enemy!"

William roared in Odom's place, and then rushed out of the tent to gather his men and prepare for battle.

At this time, in the camp, 400 heavily armed Han heavy cavalry, with five cavalry as a column, divided into two teams to outflank the crusader camp.

The three-meter cavalry spear was embellished with firelight, exuding a formidable cold glow, and a faint bloody aura spread throughout the camp and outside.

"Whoo~~"

The sound of heavy horse sniffs echoed, the cold iron hooves smashed on the ground, splashing mud and gravel, and a group of cavalry rushed through a camp tent for an instant, sweeping the aftermath and directly lifting the tent into the air......

This group of heavy cavalry from the East is about to launch the most ferocious authoritative provocation against the Western crusaders dozens of times their own in this quiet night.

"Phew~"

A horse roared......

A column of cavalry swept like the wind and clouds, directly flying the infantry blocking in front of them, leaving behind a broken sword and shield.

The roar of horses' hooves raged wildly in the camp, and everywhere the guns passed, there was a flood of mourning, and everywhere the corpses that had been washed to the twist and broken.

"No, no~ you can't kill me, I'm a nobleman of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, Viscount Tassiar, I'm willing to give ......"

A noble knight completely lost the courage to resist in the face of the imposing Han iron cavalry, and just raised his hands to surrender, but he was greeted by a sharp cavalry spear piercing his chest.

"Puff~"

Another Crusader infantryman, frantically searching for life in the chaotic crowd, but just when he thought he was out of danger, a throwing gun drilled into his body cavity accurately through his vest, and the heavy chain mail on his body could not provide effective protection at all, and his body was pinned to the ground.

Massacre, one-sided slaughter.

The entire crusader camp was completely out of order because of the surprise attack of the Han army's heavy cavalry, and there were cries and begs for mercy everywhere, and corpses lying in pools of blood could be seen everywhere.

"Stop, you demons, let God wash away your sins, stop quickly!"

A clergyman, full of courage, armed with a cross and a Bible, strode in the middle of the road, trying to force the Han army back with magic.

However, this is not the world of magic, let alone the world of fantasy and immortal cultivation, and what he did could not influence the iron cavalry of the Han army at all.

The roar sounded again, and the sound of countless iron hooves drowned out the prayers of the clergy, and in the constricted pupils of the clergy, there was a cold front......

The cavalry swept away, leaving only crosses covered in blood and mud and falling into the muddy ground.

……

Early the next morning, Oleg, who was standing at the head of the city and was about to fall asleep, suddenly looked out of the city.

Then his pupils shrank, picked up the speculum that Zhuge Zhi lent him, looked at it carefully, and then shouted excitedly: "Ring the bell, blow the trumpet!" Open the gates! ”

Woo~~

Airplanes~~

The gates of Constantinople were slowly opened, and the Han cavalry led the way into the city after a night of bloody fighting, followed by a group of dejected, unarmed Crusader soldiers, and the generals of the army.

Then, a large number of captured materials and Han cavalry entered the city in an orderly manner.

The 500 Han army broke the 30,000 crusaders, and this battle can be said to be a brilliant victory.

In this battle, he personally killed no less than 3,000 Crusaders and captured more than 2,800 prisoners, including Duke Ottom and Count Edla, and even William, who threatened to destroy the Baiser Empire, became a prisoner.

As for the rest of the Crusader soldiers, they either trampled on each other in a panic and died, or the Han army took advantage of the chaos to scatter under the night attack, or they were burned alive in the barracks, in short, they suffered heavy casualties.

"Roar~~"

Seeing this scene, Oleg took the lead in raising the axe and cheered loudly.

The rest of the soldiers cheered along, and the sound alarmed the sleeping citizens, who came to see what was happening.

After Zhuge Zhi learned the news, he also hurried down to investigate the results of the battle.

However, his first concern was not the outcome of the battle, but the casualties.

After learning that only twenty-three people had been wounded in the battle, and that there was no threat of death, he relaxed and looked at the captives in front of him.

At this time, Otom said, "I am the Duke of Otom of the Frankish Kingdom, and I want to see your Emperor Majesty. ”

When Zhuge Zhi heard this, he asked, "Why do you want to see the emperor?" ”

Otom glanced at Zhuge Zhi in front of him and said, "Heretic, I really didn't expect you to be so despicable, launching a sneak attack when we need to rest, and do you have a little chivalry?" It's so shameless, I'm going to accuse you! You filthy devil! ”

Zhuge Zhi said disdainfully when he heard this: "With the invaders, do you need to talk about any chivalry?" If you have committed such a grave sin, you will surely die. ”

"Pagan," said Othom, "tell me, how much did the Baisers pay you?" I'm willing to pay double as much to hire your cavalry! ”

Zhuge Zhi: "That's enough, detain them first, and I will go to His Majesty the Emperor Ming and hand them over to him to deal with." ”
