"kill"

In the castle of Castagna, the fierce fighting has entered a fever pitch. The Genoese who sneaked into the city set fires everywhere, causing the fire to skyrocket and the billowing black smoke to completely engulf the sun. The elite Pisa sailors disguised themselves as grooms and traders, and their weapons

They were hidden among the goods, but when noon arrived, they suddenly burst out and caught the defenders in the city by surprise.

With the main force absent, the castle suddenly fell into chaos, especially the fire that ignited the residences, causing casualties among the people in the city and mourning all over the place. However, when the Pisa army attacked the city gate, they still fell into a hard fight. In such a critical place, the castle defenders have been arranging arrangements

Elite defense without wearing armor

The Pisa people's tentative attack was immediately repelled. In this case, attacking them rashly would only result in being shot into a sieve. However, such an anxious scene made the Pisa people a little impatient. According to the agreement, at this time the Greeks should also fight with

They took action together, but until now, there was no movement outside the city.

"Damn it, we have already taken action, what are the Greeks still doing? They should have seen such a big movement!" The Pisa people who retreated from the fierce rain of arrows cursed loudly.

At this time, more and more armed militia groups in the castle joined the battle. They armed with bows, arrows and short swords attacked the Genoese around the streets. The Pisa navy, which was unfamiliar with the terrain, suffered heavy casualties.

In the city, the garrison's cavalry also began to assemble.

"We rushed in and trampled all the despicable pizza people into pulp!"

"Kill!" After receiving the order, all the cavalrymen raised their sharp swords and rushed to launch a charge, hoping to defeat the Pisa people in the city in one fell swoop.

But when these cavalrymen rushed into the street, they discovered that trucks of various sizes were standing in front of them. The Pisa sailors using them as cover had been waiting for a long time. The crossbows had already been loaded and loaded.

The armored arrow was aimed at the situation with a confused look on its face.

The unexpected riders pulled the trigger, and then countless arrows penetrated the unprepared cavalry, both men and horses. The screams of the men and horses suddenly sounded, and the riders who were either dead or injured rolled to the ground, even if they were not killed on the spot.

Even if you shoot them, they will lose their fighting ability completely.

Seeing that they had wiped out the opponent's cavalry in one fell swoop, the Pisa sailors raised their daggers and rushed forward. When they saw that there was still a fish that had slipped through the net, they rushed forward and killed the cavalry. Putting on the cavalry's helmets and picking up the cavalry's shields, the Pisa sailors once again

Launched an attack towards the castle gate.

Here, more than a hundred militia groups were reorganized in the city. However, they were originally fighting with the cavalry. However, as the cavalry was wiped out, their morale also collapsed. They fled randomly along the city wall and did not dare to fight with the Pisa sailors.

Confrontation.

So now the only thing worthy of fear is the defenders on the city wall. The Pisa people reorganized a new round of attack. This time they put on protective leather armor and used grain trucks as cover to slowly approach the people on the wall.

Enemy troops. But not

Halfway through the march, the city wall defenders took the initiative to attack and fought bravely with a fearless momentum, forcing the Pisa people back. In desperation, the Pisa people had to retreat temporarily and watched the enemy.

Continue to hold on.

The Pisa people suffered extremely heavy losses: thirty-seven sailors were killed and dozens more were injured. However, they only had a total of 150 people in the castle, and more than half of them were already dead or injured. While attacking, they had to beware of the surrounding militia groups.

Appeared in a residential building and launched an attack.

The Pisa people were completely furious now. The crossbowmen nervously kept an eye on everything happening around them, and when they saw civilians, they shot them without thinking.

The terror of death flooded the entire castle inside and outside at this moment, and the Pisa people were still confronting the defenders. For them who did not know that the main force of the rebels had been eliminated by Justinian, every minute and second passed was fatal.

Yes, because if the city cannot be defeated in today's battle, what awaits them is the inevitable death. Therefore, no matter how heavy the casualties are this time, they will not care. Under the threat of death, these Italian sailors broke out with amazing tenacity,

Attacked again.

In the bloody siege battle, there were countless casualties and casualties on both sides, and the Pisa people no longer tried to launch a few small attacks, but directly launched the truck as a mobile defense fortification.

Charge. On the other side, the defenders at the top of the city used

The crossbow pierced the Pisa people's truck and destroyed it. Likewise, the Pisa sailors behind the truck also used crossbows to fight back. In an instant, screams and the sound of flesh and blood being pierced came one after another. After a while, there were piles on the city wall.

The bodies of soldiers from both sides.

"When will the reinforcements come? We really can't hold on like this!" Morale was already declining, but no matter how hard the Pisa people attacked, the city wall was still not captured by them.

Just when the sailors of Pisa were almost desperate and facing the enemy forces surrounding them from all sides and about to annihilate them all, suddenly the attack of the defenders on the tower suddenly came to a halt.

I heard someone shout loudly: "There are troops approaching here!"

"Are they Mr. Bertoni and the others?! Great, they are finally here!" The defenders in the city were at the end of their strength at this time. They saw their flags from a distance and shouted excitedly, and immediately lowered the suspension bridge.

Open the city gate and prepare to eliminate all the last Pisa people in the city with the main force.

But when they lowered the drawbridge, opened the city gates, and the troops outside the city were getting closer and closer, the soldiers watching at the top of the city wall discovered something was wrong.

"No, those are not our people. They are not Lord Bertoni's army! Quick, pull back the drawbridge." Only then did the defenders of the castle realize that the cavalry in front was not their Serbian cavalry, but heavily armored cavalry.

Iron cavalry. They were so frightened that they quickly

He wanted to close the city gate, but it was too late. The armored cavalry commanded by Salius suddenly began to accelerate, and he took the lead, waving the long sword in his hand and cutting off the rope on the suspension bridge, and then

Then he drove his war horse and knocked open the city gate that was about to close.

"Cavalry assault!" As Salius shouted loudly, iron hoofs rolled in, completely tearing apart the last defense of the rebels in the castle in an instant. The castle defenders who no longer had the courage to continue resisting roared.

And dispersed, crying for their fathers and mothers, discarding their helmets and armor, and no longer had any fighting spirit. Like a flood, the black heavy cavalry rushed into the city, and the black fox battle flag with a red flag was also inserted into the castle wall at this moment.
