Hearing this sound, Corion immediately turned his horse's head and ran away without looking back.

Although the horn sound just now was a signal of retreat, when he was facing the enemy, he actually ran away without saying a word. He had no dignity at all. He looked so hard that he looked like a rat fleeing in panic.

The little respect that had just risen in Saxon Captain Clutos's heart disappeared. He looked at Corion's back and roared angrily, "You damn coward! Despicable mouse! Don't let me meet you again!"

Corion just pretended not to hear it. To him, following orders to retreat was not a shame. In fact, it started with betrayal of Eugen, and many things were not a shame to him.

For some reason, he had already taken the title of a betrayer, which meant that he had voluntarily abandoned all the chivalrous spirits and forgot the so-called glory and reputation.

Now he just wants to survive and stay in Eugen's army, or witness Eugen becoming a living myth, or find an opportunity to stab Eugen to death with a sword.

How could a knight be as humble and humble as him?

However, after abandoning the so-called chivalrous spirits, Corion did not weaken much, but instead made him stronger. The thoughts in his mind seemed to have broken through some long-standing limitations and entered a new realm.

After receiving the retreat order, the infantry of the moat immediately began to retreat backwards in an orderly manner, but the cavalry of Saxony had surrounded them. In the end, none of the others escaped except Corion, who was riding on the horse, and all died around the first line of defense.

Corion rode his horse from the established evacuation route without any obstacles. The people in the moat also knew him, a special "soldier", and directly let him enter the rear front.

According to the plan, those who retreat from the first line of defense no longer need to participate in the garrison of the next few lines of defense, and can go back to the old city wall to guard the city wall.

This means that Corleon will have a valuable rest time and be able to recover the physical strength lost by the war.

After the Saxony cavalry army broke through the first line of defense, they drove along the avenue and rushed straight towards the second line of defense. The soldiers of the Longxiang Army had already been waiting at the second line of defense. When they saw the enemy coming, the roar of new muskets resounded through the entire battlefield again.

The same three thousand bullets were knocked out in a very short time, and then the Dragon Horse retreated, and the infantry took over to defend the defense line to resist the charge of the Saxony Cavalry Legion.

Eugen's idea of ​​"positional warfare" was developed with sharpness and elaboration. The Dragon Horse Army was like a blade that could be used repeatedly, scraping layers of bloody flesh and blood from the Saxony Legion again and again.

There were five lines of defense in front and back, and the Saxon soldiers who fell in the hands of the Longxiang Army could not count them at all. The infantry that replaced them later caused extremely limited damage to the cavalry. The attack on the Saxon Cavalry Legion mainly relies on the soldiers of the Longxiang Army.

After the fifth round of defense, the Longxiang Army had fired a total of 15,000 bullets. It was extremely rare even in the modern battlefield in later generations.

The role played by using the idea of ​​positional warfare against cavalry is so shocking.

During these five consecutive battles, the moat lost only nearly 300 infantrymen who stayed to block the enemy, while the Saxon Cavalry Legion lost more than 1,400 people, with a battle loss of nearly 1 to 5.

When the Saxon soldiers rushed to the foot of the old city wall, the cavalry team no longer had its former power, and was as depressed as the sunset.

On the other hand, the moat team was proud and everyone was full of morale. The strength of the Dragon Horse Army allowed them to see hope for victory. The Saxophone Army, which seemed to be powerful, now seems to be the case.

However, the Longxiang Army had no choice but to participate in the battle to defend the city. After several intensive shootings in the previous few times, each of them had almost exhausted their physical strength, and their hands were trembling constantly. In this state, not to mention aiming and shooting, it would be very difficult to load the bullets.

Besides, in addition to physical strength, their bullet reserves have reached a precarious level. The first steel mill has limited productivity. The bullets accumulated in the past month have just been exhausted, and the remaining ammunition is divided equally into less than five on each person's head.

These firepower alone do not provide much support to the battlefield, so their main task is to rest and recover their physical strength, and be responsible for protecting Maria, Margaret and others.

Once the battle is not good, the Dragon Horse Army will use the remaining ammunition to open a breakthrough for Maria and the others and escape from Lebir City.

This arrangement was made by Eugen himself, and he did not want his friends to be hurt in any case.

Since then, the battle of the Longxiang Army has ended, and the remaining battle will be handed over to the moat on the old city wall.

But after the loss ahead, the number of people in the moat team at this moment is less than 800.

On the other hand, although the Saxony Army suffered a heavy blow, the number of people remained at around 1,500, and the strength of the two sides was still very different.

The only advantage is that the moat guards the city walls and has the advantage of being in a good position.

The Saxony Legion has the strongest cavalry. If they want to attack the city, they will inevitably dismount and turn into infantry, which has reduced their overall combat power.

After the remaining more than 500 Saxon cavalry rushed under the city wall, they dismounted and began to wait near the city wall. The Saxon infantry behind them carried large siege equipment and soon rushed to the front of the city wall.

The siege tower that I had seen before appeared again. Some infantrymen were carrying long ladders on their shoulders. Saxony's muskets were holding old flintlock muskets in their hands, and walked to the front of the city wall with neat steps and began to shoot in an orderly manner.

The fierce siege battle began again, and the Saxony Army had learned that the city gate had been blocked before, so the focus of their attack this time was on the attack on the city wall from the beginning.

Tarik decided to follow the ancient method of siege, and use troops far beyond the enemy to attack the city wall, constantly giving the enemy strong pressure until he finally climbed onto the city wall and entered the city step by step.

This form of battle no longer considers other factors. The competition is the collision between flesh and blood. If one side cannot hold on first, it will completely fall.
