The gap in the northwest corner of Mesta City was destroyed the last time the Odins captured the city.
Although the Odins also tried to organize manpower to repair the city defense, but the destruction of the city wall, it is easier said than done to rebuild it? Moreover, the army of Chixue Army left soon, and the number of Odin's army left in Mesta City was only a few thousand. Later, some of them were transferred to other small cities.
Mesta's occupying army also tried to recruit the civilians in the city, but the citizens here hated these foreign invaders who occupied their homes, and because of the martyrdom of the county governor Klincia, the city suffered for many years. The hearts of the people who were favored by Krinthia's ruling were full of resentment. Therefore, the work of the Odins to recruit the craftsmen has not been smooth. Even if the Odins forcibly recruited people with butcher knives, most of the people worked in a positive way, and the gap in the northwest corner was delayed. fixed.
The rainy season soon came, and the continuous torrential rain made the construction even more difficult. Seeing this, the Odin defenders in the city could only let it go.
When Xia Ya and others rested on the hillside outside the city until midnight, dark clouds rolled in the sky, and there was a faint sound of rumbling thunder, followed by a loud bang, and a bolt of lightning cut through the darkness of the sky, like a bolt of lightning. The photoelectric axe slashed the sky directly!
With the sound of thunder, the crackling rain came down again, and immediately between the heaven and the earth, a thick rain curtain shrouded the sky. The city of Mesta seems to be in a haze.
Such low visibility made Xiaya happy instead.
As the heavy rain fell, most of the torches on the original city wall were extinguished, and the light became darker and darker.
The visibility was getting lower and lower, and Xiaya simply stood up on the hillside. Anyway, with such a thick rain curtain, he didn't have to worry about being seen by the people in the city.
The crackling rain washed over Xia Ya's face, instantly calming the anxiety in his heart a lot. Xia Ya simply raised her head, raised her head, closed her eyes, and felt the dense raindrops falling on her face. He even ripped open his shirt, exposing his naked chest to the rain, which flowed down his strong chest muscles. Although his whole body was soaked, Xia felt an inexplicable joy.
The sudden heavy rain calmed the last trace of nervousness before the war. At this moment, Xiaya opened his eyes again, and his originally anxious heart was calm, but two flames jumped out of his eyes. Come!
Another lightning flashed across the sky, and the bright light shone on the ground. At this moment, Xiaya's figure standing on the hillside clearly fell in front of many cavalrymen!
In the eyes of many cavalry soldiers, this young leader, with his clothes open, his arms open, his fists clenched, his face full of suffocating anger, looking at the thundering sky, his angry expression, is so surprising.
"God bless us!!" Xia clenched her fists and shouted to the cavalry amidst the rushing rain and rolling thunder.
Then, he raised a saber in his hand, pointed it to the sky, and shouted loudly: "I know very well that until today, there are still some of you who are not convinced by me! But it doesn't matter! I don't care about this! Today I am here only to give Just a word from you! I'm not the other officials of the empire! You follow Lao Tzu to fight! Lao Tzu will only say 'Come with me' to you! I will never say 'Follow me' to you!! In today's battle, Lao Tzu will Rush in front of you! You will only see Lao Tzu's back!"
After speaking, Xi Ya jumped down the hillside with a few strides, turned over and jumped onto his warhorse, he was under the lightning, jumped on the horse, raised his sword, and shouted loudly: "The Odins will remember today's battle! You will also remember this battle!! Get on the horse!!"
As soon as the voice fell, he had already rushed out on his horse, above the wilderness, galloping towards the distant city!
The cavalry of the brigade followed closely, this torrential rain, and the thunder that was stronger than a sound, stimulated the blood in the hearts of these men!
Nene stood at the foot of the hill, watching Xia Ya like an angry lion rushing out, looking at the distant back, Nene clenched his fists.
(This is the man I chose Nene!!)
…
The annoying "rushing" sound of rain filled the sky and the earth, and the rumbling thunder that seemed to never stop... These sounds almost perfectly covered the sound of horses' hooves. Very low visibility caused by a thick rain screen. The raiding cavalry led by Xia Ya had almost rushed under the city wall, and were not discovered by the defenders!
The Odins who live in the northern country all year round seem unable to adapt to this continuous rainy weather. In this weather, everything seems to be full of moisture. The weather for a month in a row makes people feel as if their body is fast. It's rusted from the inside! Especially the damn rain! rain! rain! It's fucking raining again! ! Most of the Odins hid in the room on such a night, corroded by the moisture, as if they felt that their own people were about to rot.
Although the gap in the northwest corner of the city wall was not blocked, the Odins still set up two rows of fences here, just because the rainwater soaked and the soil was soft, many fences had been washed away by the rainwater, and even the riding skills were better. The rider can control the horse to pass through the gap calmly.
The rain doused the torches, and darkness fell under the city walls. When Xia Ya and the others rushed to the bottom of the city, he immediately restrained the war horse, whistled softly, and immediately a figure rushed out of the cavalry, as if an ape dexterously climbed along the broken city wall. go up. This figure was a little thin, and he climbed up the city wall in just a moment. Then, very quickly, two bodies of Odin people fell from the city wall, and their necks were wiped in the darkness. One of them There was also a broken arrow stuck in the chest!
Immediately, half of his body protruded out of the city wall, and he waved his hand vigorously at the bottom. A flash of lightning flashed and illuminated the figure, the young and slightly immature face, but it was the Zaku boy A Cai who followed Xia out of the mountain.
A Cai was holding a short knife in his mouth, there was blood on the blade, his body was soaked, his clothes were stuck to his body, standing on the city wall and waving his arms, it fell into Xia Ya's eyes, Xia Ya immediately laughed A voice: "Kill in!"
The horse's hooves flew and leaped over a section of the fence that had been crooked!
※※※
Most of Odin's soldiers were concentrated in the city gate's tower to take shelter from the rain, and just as Charya and his men approached from the northwest corner, there was a rush of bugles outside the city gate! The standard bugle of the Byzantine army immediately alarmed the Odins in the tower above the city gate. They rushed out one after another and looked out from the city.
Nene led no more than two hundred cavalry, galloping back and forth in the wilderness under the city gate. The cavalry roared and whistled loudly, trying their best to make the biggest noise.
The visibility was too low, and the Odins couldn't see how many Byzantine troops were outside the city in the dark. Although they were shouting for torches, in such a heavy rain, how easy was it to make a fire
Nene was riding on the horse, watching from the city, when suddenly he grabbed a lance from one of his subordinates, and the prancing horse rushed a few steps under the city gate, shouting sternly, the lance in his hand was thrown like lightning. go out!
A guy who looked like an Odin officer on the city tower was scolding something, and suddenly felt his chest light up, and then his body vacated and flew back! Looking down, a lance had penetrated his body, nailing him to the tower! ! !
For a time, the Odin guards on the city tower were screaming, the drums rang, the horns sounded, and the warning signals were issued one after another, awakening all the guards on the city wall, and more and more Odins moved towards The direction of the tower rushed past...
Char's cavalry brigade rushed into the city from the gap in the northwest corner, with little resistance or obstruction, but after rushing into Hawke, they saw two Odin tents inside the city wall. The Odins in the tent, disturbed by the sound of horses' hooves, two Odin warriors just walked out of the tent and looked at the Byzantine cavalry who seemed to have fallen from the sky. The sharp saber raised and fell again, and with a swoosh, two heads flew into the sky!
Immediately, the horse's hooves trampled on them, trampling the bodies of the two Odin soldiers into a muddy flesh, which mixed with the muddy water on the ground...
After more than 1,000 cavalrymen rushed into the city, they were quickly divided into groups of seven or eight ten people and spread out along the various roads. The cavalry of these small groups began to march on all sides of the streets according to Xiaya's previous instructions. Set fire.
Although the heavy rain still did not stop, the cavalrymen were all carrying kerosene. Once this kerosene was ignited, it was difficult to put out the water. Suddenly, all the streets were filled with flames!
Immediately, there were bursts of shouting and killing in the city!
What surprised the cavalry most was that their actions of setting fires everywhere were not resisted by the residents of the city, but even received great help! Many residents of the city who were disturbed and ran out saw these cavalrymen dressed in imperial army uniforms rushed in and set fire to all directions. The residents of the city suddenly shouted in excitement, and some even turned around and rushed into the house. Soon He ran out with a torch and joined the team setting fire! Some people even set fire to their own house! Some even ran along the street with torches and followed the arsonists, shouting loudly as they ran: "The imperial cavalry has entered the city! The imperial cavalry has entered the city!!"
Xia led the cavalry of the brigade alone, but plunged in from a wide street straight into the depths of the city! In the previous plan, he would take the main cavalry to directly capture the county guard!
After they ran off several streets, they finally encountered the resistance of the Odins. Obviously, many Odins gathered in the county governor's mansion in the city. Although the county governor's mansion here is not a luxurious building, it is relatively The humble buildings of the tribes where these Odins lived were too luxurious. After capturing the city, the Odins unceremoniously used the county governor as their resident.
But the problem was that they were too careless. The long street in front of the county governor's house was wide, and they didn't set up any defensive fortifications. They didn't even set up a horse or a wooden stake. Char's cavalry almost rushed in. Although the Odins tried to resist, the cavalry could charge as much as they wanted on the broad street. Although the Odin warriors were brave, they wanted to face the cavalry's impact with their flesh and blood. But not what they can do.
The queues of several Odins who had gathered temporarily were quickly washed away again and again! Xia Ya kept his promise and kept charging at the forefront of the team! He is always the first to rush into the crowd of Odins on horseback, and the saber is raised, and it is bloody!
Under the charge of the cavalry, the Odins on the street were quickly defeated. Many people were even beaten by the galloping horses and broke their bones, and some were knocked over to the ground, and were quickly killed The brigade of cavalry that followed were trampled into a slush!
There were corpses all over the long street, and soon the Odins were forced to go to the Sheriff's House.
But this county government was originally just an administrative center. The walls of the courtyard were not high, and the doors of the courtyard were not thick. What's more, the power of the crossbow was weakened to a minimum in such heavy rain, and the Odins could not even counterattack with the crossbow against the wall. The arrows shot were all soft, and Xia Ya rushed at the front, relying on his fleshly body strengthened by dragon blood, ordinary swords were not afraid at all, just blocked the flying arrows at will, so as not to hurt the horse.
The sound of slaughter in the city and the fire on all sides soon made the Odin defenders on the city gate fall into a passive state.
There are people inside and outside the city clamoring and feigning attack, there is the sound of fighting in the direction of the county governor in the city, and there are more than ten fires in other places! This chaotic scene suddenly made the Odins at a loss.
What shocked Odin even more was... Where did the sound of fighting in the city come from? Did the Byzantines fly into the city? !
At this time, after hesitating, the Odin garrison on the city tower made a wrong decision: to allocate a part of its troops to rescue the county governor, and another part of its troops to fight fires in various places in the city.
It has to be said that this was a decision that could not have been more wrong.
If at this time, the army generals of the Odins gathered all their forces to rescue the county governor immediately, there might still be a chance. But it was only distracted by the fire from all sides of the city, and only part of the reinforcements were sent to rescue the county governor's mansion... This decision directly ruined the last chance for the Odins to turn defeat into victory!
When the reinforcements sent from the tower rushed to the outer long street of the county governor's mansion, Xiaya's cavalry group had already captured the county governor's mansion!
There were originally hundreds of Odins in the county governor's mansion, but under the panic, coupled with the sneak attack at night, many Odins even fought naked. force!
It only took Xia a moment to break down the county governor's mansion, and hundreds of Odins were killed cleanly!
By the time the Odins sent back reinforcements from the city wall, Xiaya's cavalry had already left the county guard, and they had formed a queue to charge on the long street! Seeing the Odins anxiously running along the long street from the direction of the city gate, Xia laughed and raised the blood-stained long knife: "Drive these Odins out of the city! Before dawn! , this city is ours!"
On the broad street, the cavalry in the formed formation charged again. Once the thousands of cavalry charged, how could the infantry be able to stop it? !
Soon, the Odins who were waiting for news at the city gate were surprised to find that the reinforcements they had distributed were driven back like ducks on the street from a distance! The sound of fighting and screaming came from far away, and the Odin warriors retreated in embarrassment on the street in the dark night of the heavy rain.
Xia Ya rushed to the front, and during the melee, he also suffered two axe, but this kind of ordinary attack just chopped off his armor, but could not cause any damage to him. His bravery has convinced those recalcitrant horse thieves. At least the impression this young imperial general has left on everyone is no less than that of their former leader, Miss Nene, in terms of bravery.
Thousands of Odin infantry soldiers were driven back to the city gate, and at this time, the defenders were completely in disarray. The defeated Odins under the city wall tried to run back to the city wall, while the defenders on the city wall tried to come down to rescue. The city wall fell.
Xia Ya's horse had already rushed under the city gate, the saber in his hand had been thrown away, he pulled out the fire fork in one hand, and reined in the reins desperately in the other. Warrior Ding was kicked and flew out! Xia Ya was on the horse, and the fire fork fell down quickly!
click! !
The iron stake on the sturdy city gate was cut in two pieces under the sharp fire fork! !
Xia Ya rushed up immediately. In the darkness, everyone clearly saw a red light suddenly flashed across Xia Ya's body, and then they heard a roar. The roaring sound even covered the thunder in the sky.
In the darkness, a shout was heard: "The city gate is open! The city gate is open!!"
Nei Nei outside the city saw that the city gate was suddenly blasted into a huge hole. In the red light, the door panel was torn apart. Suddenly, without hesitation, with a shout, he led the cavalry under his command and rushed in quickly...
At this point, the defeat of the Odins is set!
…
Xia fulfilled his promise.
Before dawn, the battle was over.
There were originally more than 3,000 defenders in the city of Mesta. In the melee at night, more than half of them died on the spot. mud. There are hundreds of Odin remnants scattered all over the city, but when the Byzantine army entered the city, they didn't even need to kill Xi Ya himself. The citizens who were disturbed in the city spontaneously formed a large army to hunt down. There are different numbers of citizens on almost every street. These people are chasing and killing scattered Odin warriors with their own kitchen knives or wooden sticks.
Even after the war, the top commander of the Odin army in Mesta city tried to escape during the chaos, but ended up stuck in a street and surrounded by hundreds of citizens, together with the Odin officer. The five Odins, including them, were beaten alive by angry citizens with kitchen knives and wooden sticks, and even when the corpses were collected later, they couldn't even piece together a complete shape.
More than a thousand Odin warriors were also captured, most of them wounded. Less than three hundred intact.
When asked how to deal with these Odin captives, Xiaya stood inside the city gate and looked at the Odins who were driven together. With a grim expression, he glanced at the cavalry around him: "What do you think should be done?"
Although these cavalrymen used to be horse thieves, they were not bloodthirsty people. For a while, some people suggested to let these guys go, while others suggested to keep these guys as slave coolies...
After listening to the voices of everyone, Xia Ya slowly walked to the front of the captives.
These captives are all Odin warriors, but after the defeat at this moment, they lost their fierce and fierce appearance in the past, and they were all downcast.
"All killed." Xia Ya coldly dropped a sentence.
All the thieves around him suddenly widened their eyes. They could not have imagined that this young new leader would be so ruthless!
Xia snorted, and pointed at the prisoners with a fire fork: "Do you think it's too cruel? Then listen to me!"
Char's eyes seemed to burst into flames.
"The land under their feet! It's ours!! The air they breathe now is also ours!! The food they ate last night was also ours!! They are here! Standing on our land! Breathe Our air! Eat our food!! You remember me! These guys are invaders!! There is no need for any kindness or bullshit demeanor to the invaders! Kill these scum! Let the latecomers Understand that rashly invading other people's homes will cost you a heavy price! If you don't let these people understand this truth, I'm afraid they will come back unscrupulously in the future!"
After finishing speaking, Xia Ya stared fiercely at the cavalry under him: "If you don't kill them today, tomorrow they will come back to grab our land and eat our food, by the way... I want your lives! The invaders must get the invaders. the fate of the perpetrator!"
