Chapter 227 You!

No matter how cold the weather is in winter, the river surface can only freeze a few feet thick ice layer, and there is still flowing river water below the ice layer.

Now, after the trampling of the brigade of Saxon cavalry and bombing of the powder barrels, the ice surface of the moat finally shattered, and streams of river water gushed out, and cracks spread to both sides with the city gate as the center.

The Saxon cavalry behind couldn't stop for a moment, and immediately fell into the cold and bone-black river water, and the chill wrapped around them like a sticky vine.

These Saxon cavalry were covered with heavy armor, and as soon as they entered the river, they immediately sank like below. The cold deprived them of their strength, and their trembling hands and legs were unable to support their bodies to float up.

The deepest part of the moat is six or seven meters deep, and both sides are mud that has been soaked in the lake water for a long time, without any focus.

Whether it is a man or a horse, it is almost impossible to return to the shore as long as it falls in.

The moat is connected to the Long River flowing through the urban area. The water flows from the Long River. Although it is winter at this moment, the river water below is still flowing again.

The cavalry that fell in was immediately moved to the other side by the river, gradually deviating from the cracked ice surface. Even if someone could break free from the armor and float on the river surface, they could only see a vague layer of ice. The ice layer was mixed with fine bubbles, and each bubble reflected the soldier's face. The expression on the face was an extremely depressing despair.

More than 300 Saxon cavalrymen in the rear were immediately blocked, and the moat was like a natural danger, blocking them.

The gates of Lebour City have been opened, but they have no way to rush in in time to expand the results of the battle.

The Saxon cavalry who had already rushed in caused great chaos, and the defense on the city wall was affected. Teams of infantry immediately stepped onto the city wall and began to fight with the city moat inside the city wall.

Eugen's voice was almost hoarse, and all the infantry were mobilized by him to attack and kill the Saxon infantry who were on the wall.

At the same time, the Longxiong team has also been dispatched to assist the musket team below to clear out the Saxon cavalry that rushed in.

The musket team had a certain restraint on the cavalry and had a numerical advantage. Soon one by one, the cavalry were shot and the chaos in the city was gradually calming down.

The battle situation was in a stalemate. Every moment someone died, and sometimes arrows even flew to Eugen and were blocked by the guards beside him with shields.

The sun rises to the sky, which is another rare and good weather.

At around 10 a.m., the walls of Lebir City were held for nearly four hours, but were finally broken by a large number of Saxon soldiers.

In the end, the enemy broke through the city gate. The ice surface of the moat shattered, and the Saxon soldiers actually built a temporary wooden bridge with several ladders.

All the cavalry dismounted and turned into infantrymen, climbed over the ladder and rushed into the interior of the city wall.

Saxon spearmen and infantry also entered the city gate together. As more than 500 Saxon soldiers entered the inner city, the moat on the city wall also fell into a dangerous situation surrounded.

The Musketeers and the Longxiang Army have retreated to the city wall. The city wall is still struggling to maintain the city moat, but no one can tell that it is only a matter of time to retreat.

Seeing that the defense had failed, Eugen's eyes chilled. At this time, he had only one last solution left.

Outside the city, Corion smiled on his face, rode on a horse with silver-white hair, and walked slowly towards the city wall. At this time, he was not afraid of exposing himself. The overall situation was certain. He defeated Eugen and was about to capture his former head of the family.

Thinking of this, Corion couldn't help laughing loudly, and a tear suddenly fell from the corners of his eyes. At this moment, he suddenly felt a little scared to know the truth. If the person standing on the city wall at this moment was not Eugen, where did the real Eugen go?

Eugen did not see Corion below. His attention was all focused on the city wall. Seeing that his own people were retreating step by step, he suddenly raised his hands and shouted: "Stop it all!"

The shout was very suddenly, as if an angry master roared, shocking the voice into everyone's heart.

The performance of the moat was completely well-trained. The moment he received the order, the soldiers fighting against the enemy used their shields to force the Saxon soldiers on the opposite side to retreat two steps, and then took a step back, stretched the distance, and took a defensive posture.

The Saxon soldiers in the battle were also confused by Eugen's sudden shouts. When they saw the other party showing their defensive posture, they were quite hesitant, not knowing whether to continue the attack or stop.

In the gap caused by this hesitation, Eugen pulled out a prisoner with a tightly tied body from the room behind him, and pulled him to his side, saying loudly: "You have a good look at who he is!"

As he said that, Eugen pulled off the rag from the captain's mouth.

"Eugen, you dare to treat me like this. I am the son of Duke Billon. Are you not afraid that my father will kill you!"

Eugen was holding Izart, who was captured by the previous two days.

When the Saxon soldiers saw this scene, they were stunned. The Duke's son and the others could still recognize him. They had seen him on different occasions before, but no one could have thought that they would see him in this situation.

In the impression of these soldiers, Izzard was always a handsome nobleman. He was shining with glitter and majestic everywhere he went. He had never been as down and out like now.

"Haha, shut up!" Eugen sneered, stuffed the rag back to him, and then said to the Saxon soldier in front of him: "You see it. If you dare to take another step forward, I will kill your Duke's son!"

As he said that, Eugen put his sword on Izart's neck.

These Saxon soldiers suddenly became panicked. What a status the Duke's son is. Even a hair that fell off his body is worth more than the lives of ordinary soldiers.

If this is because of them, the Duke's son will die, even if they win a great victory, they will probably not be able to escape the fate of being beheaded by the Duke.

In this atmosphere, the Saxon soldiers began to retreat involuntarily. In the current situation, they had no choice.

"Stop it all, don't stop, Saxon soldiers, attack!"

At this moment, a sharp voice came from behind, and a black-haired and white-clothed general slowly walked out of the crowd, stood in front of the Saxon soldiers, and confronted Eugen.

Seeing this person, Eugen opened his eyes wide in surprise, his pupils trembled violently, and he said in a deep voice:

"You... Corion!"
