Eagle Byzantium

Diognis led this new force, composed of monks and pilgrims, along the corridor of the cathedral and rushed towards the section of the city wall where the fighting was raging for reinforcements. The guard kept turning back and sternly encouraging everyone until He saw Gu Siyun also holding an axe, mixed in the crowd.

"You can't go to the front line!" Diognis stopped and told the others to rush over first, while he pushed Gu Siyun back.

Gu Siyun ignored him and continued to hold the ax to go to the top of the city, but was pushed back by the man, so he said angrily, "This is the custom of us Normans. Since I marry you, I will marry you." You fight side by side, and your husband and wife must not be separated on the battlefield or at the bedside.”

When the officer wanted to say anything else, Gu Siyun shouted, "The Grand Duke who will witness the marriage will make the decision for me. You must listen to your wife." After speaking, he raised his ax and chopped off Diognis. , the guard hurriedly moved out of the way, and the woman took the opportunity to jump up the steps and onto the city wall.

At this time, the other two siege towers of the Normans had already been set up on the crenellations. Groups of Calabrian soldiers, accompanied by Norman knights on foot with swords, let out ferocious howls and rushed along the plank bridge. Rushing over, Gawain's guards also showed their might. They were in groups of three or five, some holding shields, some holding shields. Some were armed with spears, while others were armed with swords and battle axes. They fought flexibly beside the city wall, killing many people. The enemy's corpses were piled under the crenellations, so much so that it hindered the movement of the soldiers. So the servants of the guard were dodging arrows and throwing stones. , bending his waist, threw the body to the city gate and street below.

On the siege tower at the corner tower, Gawain and Tancred were still wrestling back and forth at a height of more than 20 feet. The former held up his shield to protect his body, and his other hand held the Sword of Phosphor Fire behind his back. The handle was frozen, constantly pressing the latter, ready to seize the opportunity to kill it. The latter wielded a long sword with both hands and defended himself impenetrably. The rest of the Norman soldiers in the siege tower were stunned. Looking at the narrow duel between these two warriors, no one dared to step forward: if Tancred hadn't been resisting this tall warrior with red hands and feathers, If so, the opponent will definitely rush into the tower and kill them all; and vice versa. If Tancred were allowed to leap onto the city, the lives of everyone in Barry City would be at risk.

This suspension bridge instantly became the life and death line for the city of Barry.

Under the tower, the Norman soldiers protected their shields above their heads, and the servants holding pickaxes and iron hooks hunched over. They quickly passed through the shield wall and crouched in the corner of the city wall, digging and prying wildly. Their procedure was as follows: first use iron hooks to flexibly hook out the bricks from the masonry wall, and then swing the pickaxe. , so that a large area can be dug down at once.

This time. Gawain, who was on the guard bridge, felt his feet begin to shake. He suddenly realized something and raised his shield. He slowly retreated, and when Tancred saw his retreat, he stepped forward and roared, "The vicious dog in hell, stained with blood and despicable Lusail, are you afraid? You are not afraid of a sharp sword. Will it tremble?"

The sword repeatedly struck Gawain's shield, making violent sounds. Gawain continued to scold Tancred in his helmet, and it seemed like a provocation. At this time, Tancred was already standing in the center of the guard bridge. So Gawain suddenly breathed a sigh of relief and jumped back behind the crenel.

"Lord Tancred. Retreat!" shouted a Norman knight on the top of the siege tower, and threw a rope. Tancred caught it, and then felt a "crash" under his feet. The body fell, but fortunately he was still holding on to the rope. The guard bridge had collapsed with the sudden collapse of the city wall. Because it was a crude siege tool, there was no iron rope to pull it to maintain balance. The towers in the entire corner and The city walls collapsed, gray smoke rose thickly, and Tancred, who was swinging in the air, hit the middle part of the siege tower twice. It was full of arrow clusters, and now his chainmail armor accepted them. , he was suddenly hit with several wounds on his body. The pain was so painful that he was about to faint, but he was still pulling hard and could not let go, otherwise he would fall directly to death or be injured. The soldiers on top of the tower were slowly pulling him up. .

Gawain jumped back, and he saw that the city wall had collapsed. Along the bottom, rubble and bricks were piled up into a slope. Below, hundreds of Norman soldiers had raised their flags, held up their swords and shields, and climbed up. Climbing up, "Bali City has been captured!" A wolf-like howl surged up.

On the other side of the city wall, many enemies jumped in. Gawain rushed over and grabbed the collar of an enemy's lightly-armed soldier from behind with his big hands. He turned around and hit the crenellations of the city wall three times, causing the opponent's brains to fly out. Then Gawain This guy drew out his sword, threw it, jumped over the shoulder of a Varangian warrior, and stabbed into the chest of a Calabrian light soldier who was fighting him. The opponent fell to the ground, and then jumped from the city wall. fell down on the battlefield.

"Go over there and block the gap!" Gawain continued to step forward and knocked on the helmet of the guard warrior. The other party understood and immediately turned around and ran towards the gap in the tower.

Gawain continued to walk forward quickly along the battle path. A Norman knight wearing a bucket helmet jumped in from the siege tower. When he saw him with his neck twisted, he drew his sword and rushed towards him.

The self-proclaimed Grand Duke also pulled out the phosphorus fire sword with his backhand to block it, then waved the kite shield, clamped the opponent's sword blade with the phosphorus fire sword, twisted it and broke it, then withdrew it and thrust again, the sword blade accurately penetrated the opponent's helmet. In the slit between his eyes, blue flying fire burst out from the armor with a strange cry, and then Gawain raised the kite shield with a crack, and then slammed it down hard - the servant behind the knight was so frightened that he squatted on the ground. , was cut into two pieces on the spot.

"Go over there to block the gap, and let me hold this one off." The self-proclaimed Grand Duke continued to shout, and his guards, regardless of their fatigue, followed the battle path and fought the enemies who climbed up from the collapsed city wall.

"Kill this devil!" Here, the number of enemies rushing from the two siege towers increased, attacking Gawain who was fighting alone. Gawain dodged a Calabrian soldier's slash, and the opponent's sword collided with the battlement, and then Gawain reached forward and counterattacked with a sword, and the soldier's arm was immediately cut off. Then he saw blue flames constantly bursting out of the wound, and screamed in horror while holding the broken arm, climbed up the battlement, and then jumped down in front of everyone, and fell to death.

Then, Gawain took off his helmet, raised his flaming sword, and shouted at the enemy, "Come and kill me! I am the messenger sent by the Lord to take you back to the hellfire!"

"Wow wow wow." The soldiers who were originally on the guardrail bridge shrank back in fear.

"Gawain, here I come!" On the stairs on the side of the battle road below, the guard officer led many monks and pilgrims, holding flails and bravely went up. (To be continued ~^~)
