Chapter 841, Bloody Battle of Batna

Seeing that the situation was critical, Kshatriya hurriedly led his own soldiers to the bloody battle. The figures on the city are longing, the swords and swords are shadowing, the corpses are flying with blood, and the corpses of the soldiers on both sides are constantly falling! I don't know how long it took, but the sky darkened, and the crusaders sounded a wave of trumpets in the crusaders' array, and the crusaders who stormed the city walls like a tidal wave quickly retreated.

Kshatriyas inspected the city wall, only to see a mountain of corpses on the city wall, the soldiers were silent, and their morale was very low. Kshatriya was very worried, he was worried that he would not be able to hold out until Yan Yunjun arrived. Suddenly there was a cry, and Kshatriya could not help but be startled, and when he followed the sound, he saw no one crying, and the cry seemed to come from the houses in the city. Kshatriya's mood couldn't help but be very irritable.

In the crusader tent, Goode said to everyone: "Through today's attack, it can be seen that the Tianzhu people are demoralized and weak, as long as they continue to attack, they will not be able to hold out for a few days!" The crowd echoed the shouts, and morale was high.

Goode said to the crowd: "Today's attack is carried out by the warriors of my Holy Roman Empire, and tomorrow I hope that you will attack, and the warriors of my Holy Roman Empire also need to rest for a day." Everyone felt that the Tianzhu people had suffered heavy losses after today's onslaught of the HRE army, and they would be able to break through the city in one go tomorrow, so there was naturally no reason not to pick up such ready-made fruits, so they agreed without hesitation, and they all looked beaming.

Early the next morning, the Crusaders began to storm again. However, this day's attack was not launched by the HRE army, but by the other crusaders except the HRE. These crusaders came from more than a dozen countries, and their orders were unanimous, and soldiers and horses from all sides swarmed towards the city in all directions, attacking on all sides, and for a moment the whole city and the city were boiling. And the HRE soldiers watched the battle from the rear, looking at such a magnificent war scene, it was like watching a big show.

The attack lasted from morning to noon, without a moment's pause, and from noon to evening, as the Crusaders continued to attack in waves with great intensity. However, after a whole day of fighting, they were never able to tear through the defense line of the Tianzhu people, and the Tianzhu people showed tenacious fighting spirit under the leadership of Kshatriya, and always held the defense line and did not let the crusaders attack. At the end of the day, both sides suffered heavy casualties, the corpses under the city wall were like mountains, and the corpses were also pillowed on the city wall, and both sides were exhausted.

The Crusaders failed to break through the city in a whole day, and Andrew and the others couldn't help but be annoyed, and regardless of the late day, they continued to urge their army to storm without stopping! The two sides fought at night, in the dark night, torches and flying fireballs illuminated the night into day, under the firelight, only the shadows of the people up and down the city were longing, the crusaders were still constantly attacking, and the Tianzhu people were trying their best to defend, and the hoarse roars came and went! The battle was far less fierce than before, and the Crusaders were never able to break through the defenses of the Tianzhu people!

When Goode saw this, he ordered the armies to stop attacking and retreat.

Andrew and the others received Good's order, although they were very unwilling, but seeing the exhausted and frustrated soldiers under their command, they knew that there would be nothing to gain if they continued to fight today except for increasing casualties, so they had to order the army to stop attacking. The wave of attacks that had been going on all day had finally receded. The Tianzhu soldiers at the head of the city sat down on the ground one after another, and everyone only felt as if they were having a terrible nightmare, and they only wanted this nightmare to wake up quickly.

On the third day, Goode ordered the HRE army to attack the West Gate, and the other Crusaders to attack the other three gates. The trumpets sounded, and the crusaders rushed towards the city in all directions. The Tianzhu people, who had been holding out for two days, saw that the terrible white tide was surging up again, and everyone's complexion changed greatly, and before they could engage in the battle, the army's heart was already shaken.

The stones thrown by the catapults on both sides flew in the sky, and some of the stones collided in the air, and the scene was very amazing; On the ground, the crusaders climbed the wall on all sides like a swarm of termites, and soon many white figures appeared on the top of the wall.

The head of the wall fell into a bloody battle, the crusader soldiers killed the Tianzhu people like wolves and tigers, only the flesh and blood flew on the city, and the Tianzhu people were dragged down in the pool of blood corpses, and the terrible screams came and went! The Crusaders continued to expand the bridgehead positions on the city walls, while the Tianzhu people retreated, and everyone was terrified! Kshatriya personally went to the front line to urge the soldiers to fight to the death, but the morale of the Tianzhu army had been shaken, and the situation of defeat and retreat could not be stopped!

At ten o'clock in the battle, a chaotic noise suddenly sounded on the west city wall, it turned out that the Tianzhu soldiers finally couldn't resist the defeat and retreated from the city wall, and the crusaders rushed down the city and seized the city gate. Immediately, the city gate opened, and the HRE army, which had been waiting outside the city for a long time, immediately poured into the city gate under the guidance of two thousand Gothic knights, and crashed into the middle of the panicked Tianzhu soldiers! The horse's hooves trampled and the long sword slashed, and in an instant, the Tianzhu soldiers were rushed to pieces!

The west gate was lost, and the defenders of the other gates couldn't help but be frightened, while the crusaders were demoralized and attacked even more fiercely, seeing that the other three gates would also be unable to hold them. Kshatriya tried to stabilize the situation in the midst of the rout, but the defeat was so overwhelming that he could not turn the tide alone.

At this moment, the fierce general Mathur suddenly led nearly 10,000 soldiers dressed in black, wearing black armor and black scarves to feel near the West City Gate. This army of soldiers and horses is all in shape, and it turns out to be the so-called Shura army composed of virgins. As soon as these female soldiers joined the battlefield, they fought hard to kill forward, and the slender voice of Na Na actually waved the scimitar bravely before the bloody battle, it was much more heroic than the Tianzhu male soldiers!

The ferocious offensive of the Crusaders was strongly blocked by the Shura army, and they paused for a moment, and then set off another wave of attacks, with the iron cavalry in front and the infantry behind, rushing and roaring like thunder! These heroic female soldiers fell in pools of blood, but they still mustered up the courage to fight desperately, and their courage was truly admirable! However, while these female soldiers gave up their lives to resist the crusaders, the tall male soldiers took the opportunity to scatter and flee. After all, the number of these female soldiers is limited, although everyone is desperate, but where can they resist the torrent of steel of the Shinra, only a moment of effort, the Gothic iron cavalry of the Shinra will rush the Shura army to pieces, and there will be heavy casualties. Although the Shura army was scattered in the military formation, it still did not retreat, and the front and rear continued to counterattack, and the roars of women and the screams of women came and went, which was terrifying!

At the same time, the other three gates were also lost, and the Crusaders broke into the city from all directions, burning and looting. The white wave was like a white ghost.

Kshatriya looked at the chaotic city, and couldn't help but lose his mind, and he only felt overwhelmed in his heart.

Singar, a trusted general, stumbled in front of Kshatriya and said urgently: "Generalissimo, the Shura army has suffered heavy casualties and can no longer resist, and the city gates on the north, south and east have also been broken through by the crusaders, and we are defeated!" Run! ”

Kshatriya came back to his senses and saw that the army in the engine room was defeated, and he couldn't help but panic, even if he was ready to flee for his life.

At this moment, it seemed that a voice was faintly heard coming from the distant sky. Kshatriya immediately stopped and said urgently: "There is a voice! Singer was anxious and said urgently: "Generalissimo, don't care about any sound, let's run away!" ”

At this moment, the sound of whining came from afar, and Singal also heard it, and couldn't help but be stunned, and said in surprise: "This, this seems to be ......?" Kshatriya excitedly said, "This must be!" Then he ran up to the tower next to him, and looked to the east where the voice came, and saw countless black shadows rushing in the sky, and Kshatriya was surprised and shouted, "Here it is! They're finally here! Then he yelled at Singel: "Tell everyone the good news at once, and order everyone to fight back desperately for me!" Singal said yes and ran down.

Goode saw that he was about to destroy the Tianzhu army and occupy Batna, but suddenly he heard a voice that he least wanted to hear coming from far away from the east, one after another, like a tiger roaring, and like a wolf roaring, that was the signal that the most terrible enemy was about to appear!

Goode immediately ordered the troops who had not yet entered the city to stop entering the city, and formed a formation outside the city to prepare to meet the Ming army, and at the same time ordered the soldiers and horses who had already entered the city to end the battle as soon as possible.

The HRE army received the order and quickly shrank towards the banner, and the infantry formed a huge and strong battle, with the Gothic iron cavalry and heavy cavalry lined up in front of the formation, and the light cavalry lined up on both flanks. As soon as the HRE army had finished its formation, they saw many crusaders from other countries running in panic around the walls from the north, as if they were fleeing from something terrible.

One of Goode's generals immediately said: "It's the Norwegians and the Venetians!" ”

Goode frowned and nodded. Suddenly, I saw countless fierce cavalry behind the rout, and I saw them quickly rush into the rout, swinging their knives and slashing and slashing, and they cut down the fleeing crusaders like harvesting wheat, and the scene was even more chaotic, as if they had blown up a pot.

Seeing those fierce war horses, Goode frowned and muttered, "It's really the Ming Army!" They're coming so fast! "Not long ago, Goode received information that it would take at least five or six days for the Ming army to arrive, but he didn't expect it to arrive today.

More than 10,000 Ming war cavalry swept through the rout, killing and injuring countless people, but they ignored the rout soldiers who were scattered and fled, and rushed straight towards the side of the HRE army array. The loud rumbling sound was like an earth-shattering war drum, and the earth trembled! Da Ming Zhan rode in a high-speed gallop, and slowly arranged into a wedge-shaped impact formation!

Seeing this, Goode couldn't help but secretly marvel. He drew his sword and raised it high, shouting, "Iron armor rush!" ”

The steel torrent composed of 1,000 Gothic iron cavalry and 8,000 heavy armored cavalry rushed up, like a rolling tide towards more than 10,000 Ming warriors.

The torrent of cavalry on both sides quickly approached. In the process of galloping at high speed, the Ming War Cavalry threw out the throwing spear with all his might, and the sky between the cavalry of the two sides suddenly darkened, and the throwing spear fell into the HRE Iron Cavalry like raindrops! I only heard a loud crackling sound, and the people in the HRE Iron Cavalry turned over on their backs, although the HRE Iron Rider had strong armor, but in the face of the other party's throwing spear thrown by the galloping power of the war horse, the defense did not seem to be much better.

The Ming War Cavalry and War Cavalry did not throw the spear together, after the first war horse threw the spear, the later war cavalry threw the spear one after another, only to see that the spear continued to fall into the HRE Iron Cavalry one after another! At the beginning, the HRE Iron Rider didn't take this too seriously, but when he saw that the other party's throwing spears seemed to be endless, he couldn't help but panic a little.

In the blink of an eye, the two warhorses collided violently, and then rushed straight into the middle of each other, and the huge impact sound came and went, and the scene was as if two huge waves had slammed together! The Ming Dynasty cavalry wielded a horse lance and a horizontal knife to kill the crusaders, and the crusaders wielded a cross sword and a chain ball to attack fiercely.

The cavalry of both sides cut through the crowd of cavalry, and the Shinra cavalry immediately turned their horses and prepared to turn around and fight again. But the Daming War Horse did not turn around, but rushed straight towards the opponent's big array! Iron hooves are rushing, and they are unstoppable!

Goode waved his sword forward: "Shoot the arrow!" ”

The Shinra crossbowmen fired arrows in unison, only to hear a loud buzzing sound, and the sky instantly darkened, and the arrows flew towards the Ming War Rider like that dark cloud. Crackling fell into the middle of the Ming Dynasty cavalry, the Ming Dynasty cavalry turned on their backs, and countless ripples were stirred up in the cavalry wave! However, the tide composed of the Ming War Cavalry was not hindered at all, and the surging thunder rushed straight in!

In the blink of an eye, the tide of the Ming War Cavalry slammed into the defensive line of the HRE army, as if the waves were crashing on the shore, and the huge impact sound was thrilling! The fierce impact of the Great Ming War Cavalry of the Shenluo Defense Line was staggered and uneven, but the Great Ming War Horse failed to break through the Shenluo Defense Line in one go! The infantry defense line of the HRE army is really strong and abnormal, with a tower shield almost a human height to form a shield wall, with a spear like a forest, although the charge of the Ming war cavalry is strong, but it can't swing this line of defense!

Goode swung his sword forward and roared; "Shoot the arrows!" The HRE crossbowmen fired their arrows again. This time, the distance between the two sides was extremely close, and the dense arrows rushed over the head of the Shenluo shield commander like flying locusts and rushed straight to the Yanyun war horseman. The Ming War Cavalry threw a round of throwing spears at the crossbowmen of the Shinra, and countless spears fell into the middle of the crossbowmen with a loud crackling sound, nailing many Shinra archers to the ground, and the screams rang out immediately.

The Ming cavalry quickly broke away from the enemy army and galloped away in a southeasterly direction. The Shenluo Iron Armor Warrior originally wanted to take advantage of the Ming Warrior's attack on his own military array to attack the Ming Warrior from behind, but he didn't expect the Ming Warrior to immediately flee when he saw that he could not break through his own array, without dragging the mud and water at all, so this attempt did not succeed.

Seeing the Ming Dynasty riding away, the generals asked Gude for orders to pursue. Goode immediately ordered the general Khedira to lead 10,000 light cavalry in pursuit. Khedira received the order and immediately led 10,000 war cavalry to chase after the fleeing Ming war cavalry, shouting as he chased.

King Andrew of Norway fled to Goode out of breath, and said with palpitations: "Our people in the north have washed them up!" My life is almost over! ”

Goode frowned and asked, "How many enemies have attacked you?" ”

Andrew said angrily: "It's those cavalry! If we weren't defenseless, we wouldn't have been able to be disrupted by them! If it's fair, we'll never beat them! ”

Goode immediately said: "You quickly take your men to gather the scattered rout, and then continue to attack the north city gate." Andrew said excitedly: "Okay! I'll do it! I want to let those Ming people know that we Norwegians are not easy to mess with! Then he led his men and ran down.

Goode turned his head to the captain of the pro-soldiers beside him and said, "Immediately send someone to the east and south to investigate the situation, and report back as soon as possible!" The captain agreed, and immediately sent more than a dozen personal soldiers to investigate the situation.

As soon as the soldiers were dispatched, the messenger of the southern legion arrived, and reported urgently: "Generalissimo, there was an urgent report from the east just now, they have been attacked by the main army of the Ming Dynasty, and the situation is very critical, Your Majesty and several knights have sent me to ask the generalissimo, what should we do?" ”

Goode asked, "How many people are in the main army of the Ming Dynasty?" ”

The messenger shook his head, "I don't know! However, since they can beat the Eastern Legion to the point of sending people for help, there must be a lot of soldiers and horses! ”

Goode thought for a moment, and immediately said: "You go and tell Ou Ding that they want to give me full support for the Eastern Legion immediately, and no matter what, I can't let the Eastern Legion defeat the Ming Army!" The messenger grimaced. Goode naturally knew what he was thinking, and immediately said, "My army here will be immediately mobilized and go to support the Eastern Legion!" You go! The messenger answered and ran.

The Spanish general Juan led 80,000 soldiers and horses, mainly 30,000 Spanish troops, to storm the East City Gate, but he didn't expect the Ming army to suddenly appear behind him. After a brief panic, Juan became excited, and immediately ordered more than 60,000 soldiers and horses who were still outside the city to immediately turn around and line up, ready to meet the battle.

I saw 10,000 Ming war horsemen roaring away from the north, rushing towards the north city gate, and then I saw tens of thousands of Ming troops rushing towards them. Juan was thrilled to see the Ming army coming straight towards him, and he was determined to let everyone see the power of their Spaniards.

Soon after, I saw that the Ming army was approaching and stopped three hundred paces away.

Juan felt that the Ming army must have been timid when he saw his own military appearance, and felt that he should take the initiative to attack and defeat the Ming Dynasty in one fell swoop.

Just as Juan was about to give the order to attack, a deafening war drum sounded on the opposite side. Hu An'an shook his head, only to see the Ming Dynasty array separated, and about two thousand extremely majestic, tall cavalrymen with black armor and black cloaks slowly walked out of the Ming army's array. Juan's heart couldn't help but throb. Immediately, I only heard the sound of Daming's war drums suddenly became urgent, and at the same time, the horn sounded loudly, and the two thousand black cavalry shouted violently, like a thunderbolt, like a black wave! When the crusaders suddenly saw such a sight, they couldn't help but be shocked! Friends must have guessed when they saw this, that's right, this black war horse with a scale of 2,000 people is the leader in the Ming Army, known as the Xuanjia cavalry of the army within the army! On that day, Yang Peng couldn't help but be a little worried after hearing the news that the crusaders were all the way in Tianzhu, so he ordered Zhan Jin Guo to lead the Xuanjia cavalry to leave Bianliang to support Shi Liancheng.

Juan came back to his senses and yelled at the Spanish cavalry, "Charge! ”

Five or six thousand Spanish cavalry immediately rushed out and rushed straight towards the oncoming black war horses.

In the blink of an eye, the two sides met. The black war horse stabbed into the middle of the enemy like countless sharp blades, and the horse lance flew up and down, and the horizontal knife flashed with cold light, only killing the Spanish cavalry on its back! Juan and the others were shocked to see such a scene, their faces changed greatly, they never dreamed that the Ming War Horse would be so strong, it was like a tiger entering a flock! The Spanish cavalry swung their swords and slashed at the black cavalry, but the swords slashed at their bodies with a sonorous sound, and they were dressed in heavy armor, and the swords could not cut through them at all! These Xuanjia war horses, the sharpness of the attack naturally has nothing to say, and the strength of the defense is also to chase the heavy armor war horses, and because the war horses of these Xuanjia troops are carefully selected from the Yanwang horses, so although they carry a weight similar to that of heavy armored cavalry, the speed is not inferior to that of ordinary light cavalry! In the face of such an opponent with excellent offensive and defensive strength, although the Spanish cavalry had three times the strength of the opponent, they were killed and wounded in an instant!

The Darkarmor Cavalry crushed the Spanish cavalry in one fell swoop, trampling their flesh and bones and charging straight towards the enemy formation. The crusaders couldn't help but tremble when they saw the black horses rushing like tigers and murderous spirits. Juan yelled, "Ready! The shield-bearers raised their shields one after another, staring at the approaching black waves, pursing their lips, and everyone raised their hearts to their throats. These shieldbearers were completely different from the shieldbearers of the HRE, and instead of using a human-tall tower shield like the HRE shieldbearers, they used a round shield that could only protect a third of their body, which was a tradition in the Iberian Peninsula.

The Xuanjia war horse galloped to a hundred paces in front of the enemy's battle line. Juan yelled at the crossbowmen, "Shoot the arrows!" The crossbowmen fired arrows together, and the rain of arrows fell into the middle of the Xuanjia Warhorse, but it did no damage to the Xuanjia Warhorse. When the crusaders saw this, their faces changed.

In an instant, the Darkarmor Warrior rushed in front of the Crusaders. When the Crusader soldiers saw the appearance of the opponent's war horse leaping into the dragon, they couldn't help but feel a shock in their hearts, and the entire army array shook. In the blink of an eye, the Xuanjia Warhorse slammed into the Crusader line, and the thrilling sound of a huge impact rang out! How could that defensive line of round shields withstand the power of such a charge similar to that of a heavily armored cavalry, and I saw that the Crusader line of defense crumbled like a sandbank in front of a huge wave! When Juan saw such a scene, his face turned pale in an instant!

After all, what happens next, let's see how it will be broken down next time.
