Chapter 640: Siege
The baggage procession was cleared, and he looked up at the high post, and saw that the heavy cross and banner had been raised high by the priests, and the Duke of Frey and the knights were already standing on the highest point.
"Today you will be truly sheltered, today you will fight for God Himself, today you are knights of holy war, baptized in the blood of our evil enemies, today you will be innocent of murder..."
The bishop's voice was not loud but it reached the ears of all the knights, and even the men in the baggage ranks in the rear could hear it clearly, and Bowswei looked irritable after hearing these encouraging words, and he wanted to kill. Fred saw the trembling Bous, and the restless knights behind him, and asked, "You seem to be excited for a long time?" ”
"Aren't you?" Hearing this, Bowes asked rhetorically, his eyes were sharp, he wanted to kill the enemy!
"You just haven't seen anything like it, but for me every time I go out on a campaign, don't doubt a seventy-year-old exorcist." Fred said, "It is the power of the great god to be able to resonate with your souls, to boil your blood, to kneel on the ground and to take refuge in selfless offerings." ”
There was a bit of fanaticism in Fred's eyes, but he was physically motionless.
He is superstitious and selfish.
He sighed as he looked at the man who was restraining his mad impulses, and said, "If you promise you won't rush down yourself, I can take you over to see it." ”
"Don't worry, I can guarantee he won't rush out." Fred spoke on the side, and then said with some reminiscence, "It's been a long time since I've seen a scene like this." ”
He nodded, ordered his servants to take care of the good people, and led the two to the high post, where the knights had already charged downward, and only the priests remained there with their Bibles.
I saw men and horses on both sides fighting together in the huge depression below the high post, one of them wearing a white red cross suit, holding a war hammer or a great sword in his hand, and the other wearing a red or black thick coat cuirass, with a turban of the same color around his head, and a steel fork or scimitar in his hand.
There was no suspense in the battle between 2,000 men and 20,000 men, and the men on the opposite side fought no more bravely than the crusaders, and if it weren't for the four elephants charging at the front of the ranks, the war would have been over.
"Those clergy are really very capable, and after a few words, they even dare to fight that kind of monster." Bowes suppressed the blood boiling in his body, stared at those huge war elephants, and couldn't help muttering, "Ah! The knight's dragon spear pierced in, oops! The knight flies! ”
One of the white-robed priests was annoyed by the explanations on the sidelines, and said, "Seeing how excited you are, do you want to follow God's call to destroy those evil enemies?" ”
"I..."
"No need, that little bit of evil is not enough for those knight brothers." Fred turned to the priest sideways.
"You can't see yourself when you watch others be saved." The priest smiled.
"Guarding the baggage is also in the service of God." Fred said.
The priest nodded, put away his smile, and said, "Be dedicated." ”
Fred heard the words and turned away.
The slashing of swords and spears exchanged slashes, the crusaders were simply beating the infidels, and the war was soon over, except for the four monsters, it was an ordinary battle, and there was no suspense.
The servants cleaned the battlefield and the servants divided the corpses of the monsters, and the priests went to the center of the battlefield and lit a bonfire, telling them that eating the flesh of the monsters would make the monsters fear their breath and make them invincible.
"Will these valiant knights be poisoned, that's a monster." Looking at the knights who were cutting and roasting meat at the campfire, Bowes asked quietly.
"No, those are mammoths, not poisonous, just not tasty." Looking at the knights who had grown their strength and screaming after eating, he whispered to Bose, "But it will definitely give them more courage." ”
After the battlefield was cleaned, the knights were ready to go, and they slowly hung behind them, and when they met them again, they saw a scuffle ahead, and at the very front of the battlefield, Duke Frey and a group of guards were ramming a small city full of stones.
"They didn't believe in God, they were heathens, they sinned against God, and they took possession of the Garden of Eden without permission!"
"They make a pact with the devil, and they use demons against people... Damn!"
The bishop's voice came from below the city, and it spread throughout the battlefield, and he had the protection of the gods, and his sword was not armed, until an enemy on the city wall swooped down, and the blessing in his mouth suddenly became awkward, and then the knights below the city began to retreat in large numbers, and the crusaders fighting on the battlefield in the rear did not continue to attack the city after killing the enemy.
"I think I just heard the bishop curse." Bowes asked the Knight Gordon, who had returned alive, and the latter nodded, if he wanted to get ahead in this crusade, he had to move forward bravely, regardless of his baggage.
"Heretics in the city threw lead water downward, and magic, and the bishop and several priests were set on fire." Knight Gordon said.
"Ha, didn't Gabriel give him shelter?" Bowes laughed.
"No, maybe the archangel was negligent in patrolling the heavens today." Knight Gordon shook his head slightly, and then said, "By the way, Duke Frey asked you to find the wood that served as a battering ram, and let you go and bang on the door." ”
"We? What are you kidding, let's find wood, it's the job of the other knights to bang on the door. Bowes shouted.
"If you don't agree with this, go to Duke Frey and tell him, I'm just in charge of passing the word." Gordon shook his head slightly.
Before he could say anything more, Fred walked over and held him down, pointing to the yellow-skinny peasant crusaders behind him, "It's no problem to bang on the door, let them go." ”
Bowes' eyes lit up when he heard this, and then he looked at the peasants who were submissive, pointed to the ten servants on the side, and said, "You take two hundred people and go outside to find a tree suitable for siege." ”
The servants and the peasants soon left, and the war ceased, and the servants sat in the ranks and listened to the angry chatter of the knights, the city of which had suffered their first heavy attack along the way.
As night wore on, and a party of 20,000 men began to camp for dinner, the Norman Duke scattered his scouts to check how many villages there were around the city and whether they were worthy of their rule.
Then they were able to find a large number of bodies at the edge of a wooded area to the north, which they found to belong to the baggage team.
"Your people had an accident and should have been dead for a long time, and the scout said that even the armor on his body was removed." Duke Frey walked over to Bowes' side and said.
"All dead? Did those mud legs do it? Bowes asked excitedly, loudly.
"They are also dead, presumably heretics in the city." Frey said, "I suspect they're worried about the siege, and they might be able to do something to the baggage tonight, so be smart." ”
