Chapter 224 Ambush
At this moment, a harsh scream suddenly reached Old Peter's ear, which shocked him to a cleverness. He immediately straightened his waist and looked out of the city wall.
"Kill! Kill!" The fierce and irritable shouts of killing sounded outside the city. The last second of calmness was like an unreal dream. In the blink of an eye, he fell from the comfort like a lover's embrace and fell into the bloody battlefield.
"What's going on?!" Old Peter burst into a cold sweat, his voice becoming as sharp as a duck. He shouted in surprise: "The Saxons attacked?"
Looking down from the city wall, I saw a torch suddenly lit up between the stone walls of the new city area. The light of the torch was connected into a circle, and the area around hundreds of meters seemed to be a sea of fire.
In the reflection of the fire, the black metal armor reflected a cold light, and the sword blade swung out a series of blurred swords, and the shouts of killing were endless.
In the place where the shouting of killing was the most intense, the bright red blood was like a veil, spraying into the air with hot air, and then falling down to cover the land.
Rumbled and the ground trembled. It was the sound of nearly a hundred light cavalry storms swelling. The light cavalry was like a rapid arrow, shuttled back and forth through the streets of Xincheng District, and suddenly entered the battlefield.
The shouts of killing became more and more violent. The battlefield under your feet was even more tragic than the daytime battle. People were killing people everywhere and people were dying everywhere. For a moment, Old Peter was stunned.
His eyes were sharp, and then the firelight, he could see at a glance the black double eagle marks on the armor of the light cavalry, and there was also one on his chest of his own armor.
"Not Saxon soldiers." Old Peter murmured, then suddenly shouted excitedly: "It's our people, those are ours."
Old Peter saw it clearly from a high point. The battle situation under his feet was clearly divided into two clearly divided waves, one was the light cavalry and the soldiers in armor, and the other was the soldiers wearing black robes and covering up his armor.
Those black robes were very conspicuous in the firelight and were so easy to identify. Almost all of the black robes were archers, and they didn't even have basic swords on them, and they only carried bows and arrows and arrows.
Some soldiers' black robes were cut down, and the white armor below was immediately exposed.
"Saxon soldiers, those black robes are Saxon soldiers!" Old Peter's scream became more and more excited. He vaguely understood what was going on in his mind. The limited knowledge of military command was not enough to make him guess the whole process.
In order to hide, the Saxon archers did not carry swords, which made them seem in resistant to the storm of infantry and cavalry.
Bows and arrows are almost useless in this chaotic battlefield. Some Saxon soldiers can only hold an arrow in each hand and fight as a short-handed sword.
Soon these Saxon archers were killed and retreated step by step, leaving behind a corpse on the spot, and fled out of the new city in a hurry.
A knight was covered in blood, and there was no wound on his body. The blood was all from the enemy. From this blood, it was enough to show how many enemies he had killed.
Looking at the escaped Saxon archers, the knight put his hand on the sword and slowly wiped away the blood on it, then lifted up his armor. It was Allen, the new captain of the Lebre City Moat.
"Stop, don't chase!" Allen raised his right hand and shouted loudly, stopping the pursuit of the soldiers under his command. He looked at the escaped Saxon archers with a contemptuous smile, then turned around and ordered loudly: "There are opportunities to teach these Saxon bastards a lesson. Now, the whole army will return to the city!"
After saying that, he rode his horse towards the gate of Lebor City. The other soldiers followed Alan and trotted into Lebor City. Soon everyone evacuated from the new city area to the wall. With a loud bang, the gate closed again.
The new city area became dark and quiet again. However, among the darkness, corpses could be vaguely seen lying on the ground, blood flowed out and gradually gathered into a small river, the heat quickly dissipated, and frozen into a blood-colored ice layer in the cold night.
Alan walked into the city gate, and Parma stood behind Eugen, and the two of them were waiting for his return with a smile on their faces.
When Allen saw Eugen quickly turned over and got off the horse and stood in front of Eugen.
"Haha, congratulations to Captain Allen on his victory." Oggen said with a smile, his tone very refreshing.
Parma also said, "Yes, Captain Allen has been very angry with those Saxon archers these days, so I'll be happy to kill this time."
Allen took off his helmet and said in a striking manner: "Hahaha, of course, those Saxon bastards thought we were easy to bully, and this time they had a good experience."
As he said that, he looked at Eugen very respectfully and said sincerely: "Thanks to your plan, those Saxons suffered a great loss. Without those archers, the pressure on defense will be much lighter."
Parma also looked at Eugen very respectfully. This counterattack was planned by Eugen. At night, Eugen ordered some infantry soldiers to sneak into the new city area. With the help of the cover of houses and streets, they ambushed the Saxon archers who were attacking at night.
Since he could not determine which street the other party would come from, he specially ordered Allen to bring nearly a hundred light cavalry troops, waiting at the city gate, ready to go out and rush out at any time.
At night, the opponent's archers indeed entered the trap. Five hundred infantrymen hid in houses everywhere in the new city area. They suddenly rushed out without any warning at night, and caught the archers off guard.
Coupled with the cavalry team led by Allen, they had the advantage in this battle, and it was easy to deal with the Saxon archers.
It just so happened that the Saxony generals didn't know what to do to fight, but they didn't divide it into several waves, but sent all five hundred archers at once.
As a result, Eugen and others seized the opportunity and killed nearly 50% of the opponent's archers at one time. With this wave of attacks, the Saxon Archers Legion's vitality was greatly damaged, and the attack strength in the future would inevitably be greatly weakened.
"Haha, I just talked, but Captain Allen is Captain Allen. Alan, you are very tired, go and rest quickly, you have to deal with new attacks tomorrow. I guess that if the other party suffers such a big loss, they will definitely not give up tomorrow." Eugen patted Allen's arm and said with a smile.
Allen nodded and walked towards his residence. Indeed, tomorrow's official battlefield requires them to do their best to deal with it.
The soldiers who fought that night were almost injured, but they seemed very tired because they were lying in a long ambush. After the troops returned, everyone immediately returned to the barracks to rest and prepare to deal with tomorrow's battle.
