Hypia himself felt a little apprehensive. He raised his head and looked at the figure of Verina on the city wall. The two looked at each other, and he saw his legion commander shaking his head gently towards him.
His face turned ugly again.
The red scarf sand bandit cavalry around the gate of the city continued to move forward, intending to continue to approach for a few minutes. At the same time, the artillery launched from Ma Long's army was also moving towards a position where they could fire at them, who formed a defensive position at the gate of the city. .
At this time, a messenger on the city wall finally sent Verina's order: "Retreat into the city gate as quickly as possible."
This order really gave the soldiers below an amnesty. Although the whole team did not crowd the city gate regardless of discipline, they were very excited after being allowed to retreat.
And when the enemies on the opposite side saw that the soldiers guarding the city gate began to retreat into the city gate, they no longer endured it.
The artillery that had just been pushed into the predetermined position fired decisively.
Since the soldiers of the garrison army were stationed at the city gate, they formed a very tight formation. This is very effective in defending against the enemy's assault, but in the face of artillery bombardment, it undoubtedly increases the enemy's bombing power by several levels.
Six cannons, just one round of shelling, before the north gate of Shawan Port, a group of people turned their backs.
With the roar of artillery fire, those red scarf sand bandit cavalry who had been cruising around the city gate for a long time finally started to charge! And the current situation is a good time for them to show their power!
The Sand Bandit Cavalry is not a cavalry regiment that is good at frontal combat and frontal assault, but the infantry of the garrison army, under the bombardment of artillery, and the mentality of rushing into the city gate, made their formation chaotic. . And this is exactly what the Sand Bandits like to see.
The leader of the Sand Bandit Cavalry—'The Bald Dog' Davel was rushing towards the front of all the Sand Bandit Cavalry, his face flushed and excited. He is 100% sure that as long as he brings these roaring cavalry into the battlefield, he will be able to completely defeat the chaotic infantry phalanx, and then charge into the city.
And Hypia, who was directing the soldiers to enter the city at the gate of the city, felt his scalp tingle when he saw such a scene. He knew that it would be impossible to get all the soldiers back, but he still wanted to make the last effort.
"Don't mess up! Don't mess up! Officers at all levels organize their troops! Get ready for the charge!"
His order is not incorrect, but where does the team say that it can be integrated if it can be integrated? Some of the officers of all ranks below him are still dedicated to their responsibilities, trying to lead the soldiers under them to form a solid line of defense, while some are greedy for life and fear of death, and even pretend that they have not heard this order, thinking about crowding Take advantage of the chaos and escape into the city gate first.
Hypia was furious. He drew out his command knife, went to the field and chopped off the heads of a squadron leader and two squadron leaders, and shouted: "You all obey my orders! Hold your position! No chaos!"
With his efforts, the effect is more or less effective. There are at least two or three squadrons of soldiers who have barely stopped being turbulent and are ready to face the impact.
All the soldiers became tense, and the officers shouted loudly to boost their morale, telling the soldiers to continue to persevere. As long as they survive the first impact, their comrades in the city behind will come out to support them.
Under this kind of cheering and encouragement, the infantry of the garrison regiment raised some fighting spirit to some extent. And after a while, those light cavalrymen wearing red scarves and veils were already close at hand.
In the blink of an eye, a fight begins!
The chaotic and readjusted military formation is obviously not tight enough. Even though the soldiers' morale had improved, the formation of two or three squadrons was cut to pieces in a blink of an eye due to the agile horsemanship and scimitar skills of the Sand Bandit Cavalry.
At the very beginning of the battle, Hypia's army was facing a certain defeat, and in just two minutes, this defeat was completely established.
In the blink of an eye, fifty or sixty infantrymen of the garrison regiment were cut down to the ground. Under such circumstances, the other soldiers finally couldn't maintain their will to fight, and turned their heads and started to run away.
Then, they saw a desperate scene: the city gate had been closed at some point.
Hypia cut off the leg of a war horse passing by him with his face covered in blood, and before he could kill the sand bandit cavalry who fell off the horse, he suddenly heard a loud curse.
He turned his head in a trance and saw that the city gate was closed, and there was a bang in his head.
The soldiers who slapped the city gate were either begging to open the gate, or were terrified and at a loss, or scolded their comrades behind the gate for abandoning their comrades in arms, but none of this could save the closed gate or the Sand Bandit Cavalry He continued to attack and slash wantonly in the back.
The sand bandit cavalry who had just been knocked off his horse by Hypia and fell to his head bleeding, endured the pain and got up from the ground, and subconsciously slashed Hypia who was standing beside him in a daze, but it was slashed crookedly. The shoulder was chopped, and the machete got stuck in the shoulder blade and could not be pulled out for a while.
The lieutenant colonel who was a mercenary captain screamed, awakened by the pain, and stabbed the sneaking sand bandit cavalry to death with his backhand. He didn't lose control of his emotions like the soldiers behind him, he just showed a miserable smile on his face.
He knew that today was his own death day, and no one had ever told him that the city gate would be closed, and even though he had some guesses in his heart, he never believed before that the female knight who would show a gentle smile would really issue such an order. An order to abandon his subordinates and cut off the lives of hundreds of soldiers outside the city.
But this order still came, the closed door closed all hope of life, and in front of him, the cavalry wielding machetes grinningly harvested lives.
Hypia smiled miserably, and pulled out the scimitar stuck on his shoulder. In severe pain, he raised his head, only to see several sand bandit cavalry rushing towards him.
The lieutenant colonel laughed, and charged forward!
He doesn't fight for anyone now, either fighting or surrendering is a dead end, let's get a few backs before he dies!
This soldier with seven professional levels, even after being injured, the captain of the regiment who still has good combat power, jumped high, swung his knife, and caught off guard that the sand bandit cavalry who rushed the fastest was stabbed by him with a knife Into the chest, and was thrown off the horse. Quickly got up, another knife, a cavalryman who was about to cut off his head with a machete, was chopped off by him instead.
But that's about it. There were too many enemies in front of him, and they were all riding on desert horses and attacking with scimitars. When he killed the second cavalryman, he was stabbed in the back. He turned his head to fight back, but suddenly there was a huge force in front of him—he was directly hit by a charging horse.
Hypia, who lost to the impact of the horse, was knocked to the ground, and before getting up, another horse stepped on him. He felt that his ribs were broken, and he didn't know how many ribs were broken, and then they were chopped off with machetes one after another.
First there was pain, then numbness, and finally, there was only blood red in front of his eyes.
The last sight of Hypia's life rested on the heroic paladin standing on the top of the city, and he could not rest in peace. (To be continued.)
