Tang Qi Tan

Chapter 500 Invasion
But within the surrounded tower, there was a flustered movement.The well-armored and well-armed personal guards in the fortress only tried to break out once; they fled back in a panic under the successive attacks of the galloping Free Army cavalry.

Therefore, as the commander of the Kongtai Army, Mr. Federo; at this moment, the lead powder and rouge on his face have been washed away by the continuous sweat from his head; Running around like a beast, hissing and shouting, the name of the most trusted veteran, Lang Dogon.

It wasn't until someone couldn't help telling him that the general Langdogon, who was the deputy of the legion, had already gone out with the knights from Besançon and never came back; Sluggish and distraught, he sat down on the steps of the tower.

At this time, there seemed to be more and more enemy troops gathered around, and at the same time, there were loud shouts in the air.However, when Prince Federo looked over carefully, he found that it was the unique flag and logo of the Knights of Besançon led by Franche-Comté, the Great Crown.

However, these banners and ceremonies representing the honor and decency of the Knights were like rubbish at the moment, being thrown and stacked on the ground, and then allowed to be trampled by the cavalry in the dust.Faced with this deliberate aggressive method, the defenders in the fortress lost their fighting spirit.

They could only stand behind the battlements and wall piles of civil engineering, looking at each other in awe or with dull eyes; morale slipped to the bottom visible to the naked eye.If it weren't for the guards who fled back to stare at them; perhaps the defenders in these fortresses would have opened the doors and surrendered immediately.

Not to mention those well-dressed attendants and servants who came with Prince Federo, or members of the exclusive band and choir; at this moment, they are shivering and hiding in every corner of the castle, smeared with mud and dirt. On the face, on the body, pray to avoid some terrible encounter.

"Legion Commander! Look!" Until the surviving vice-captain of the pro-guards pulled Prince Federo up again with excitement, and pointed in the direction of Dijon City, hissed and shouted: "That's Burgundy in the city. The banner of the legion, His Royal Highness Prince Kongtai has sent troops to rescue you!"

Then, seeing the soldiers of the Free Army besieged around the castle, they immediately turned around and formed several counter-attack formations; in an instant, they were double-layered with spears and sword shields, and there were several rows of firecrackers and crossbows. The hollow phalanx fought with the first wave of Burgundian cavalry.

And when these Burgundian cavalry stabbed with spears, they were blocked and wrestled in the front line for a moment by the spears stabbing each other head-on and the swords slashing their legs and feet below; With a strong crossbow, it will be knocked down and shot under the horse like fallen leaves.

In the blink of an eye, several rounds of the vanguard cavalry's impact had already disintegrated; leaving a piece of corpses in vain, they roared and scattered towards the two sides, leaving the battlefield to the large group of infantry who followed closely behind.And these infantrymen are all covered with plate and chain armor, holding big swords and long axes.

Like silver-white waves, they scrambled against the hastily fired jagged bullets, slashing and splitting the pointed spear points; they entered the hollow phalanx in a blink of an eye.The projectile thrown from the inside suddenly caught them in the explosion of fireworks.

And when the bursting flames and smoke cleared away with the wind, only bloody corpses and wounded were left lying on the ground among the criss-crossed fronts.As well as the surviving Burgundian hoplites, hissing and screaming, turning and fleeing in a hurry, and the scattered backs of being shot down by the firecrackers.

Although they quickly merged with their rear companions, they regrouped and launched several rounds of attacks again.However, in the face of the blocking of spears/swords, the continuous firing of firecrackers, and the bombardment of bombs thrown from time to time, except for shrinking the hollow square formation, it has never been able to make a breakthrough.

And the son Federo in the tower is also sweating profusely intimidating and making many promises.In order to drive those pro-guards and guard soldiers to launch a breakout operation with internal and external cooperation while the external reinforcements are fighting.When he obviously overestimated the fighting spirit and fighting spirit of these subordinates.

Even though his mouth was dry with spittle, the noble children in the remnant bodyguards hesitated to put up all kinds of reasons and excuses to evade.The original guards in the fortress were tempted by his promise, but Prince Federo was worried about them.

As a result, the precious opportunities were spent bit by bit in the continuous battles outside the fortress and the hesitant pushing and blocking inside the fortress.At the same time, Jiang Tian, ​​who had gradually advanced under the city with the army as a whole, also climbed to the top of a newly captured fortress wall to look at.

Just around the largest fortress on the outskirts of the city in the distance, the enemy's reinforcements from the city and the main force of the Freedom Army continued to come;Apparently the large fort with the legionary banner contained people and things that the city was desperately trying to save.

Therefore, he had to leave the cover and bonus of the city defense system and take the initiative to attack.And with the main force of the Liberation Army who was a little tired, it became a field battle of constant refueling.But in this case, the resilience and durability of the firearms troops can be fully brought into play.

Then, amidst the continuous cheers under the wall, with the return of a small group of cavalry who cleaned the battlefield, Jiang Tian also saw a group of enemy prisoners who were tied and dragged behind their horses, staggering and stumbling.Just judging from their vaguely dressed robes and clothes, they all seem to have considerable identities.

Among them, the most conspicuous one is an old man with disheveled hair, disheveled hair, and dark red blood all over his body, covered with a large amount of mud; but even though he was deprived of armor and weapons, his eyes were still as sharp as a falcon; At that moment, Jiang Tian suddenly rushed to say:
"I am the head of the Champagne Legion of the dynasty, Adalbert, Earl of Meaux; as a member of the nobles of the kingdom, I request that the knight king from the south give him equal treatment in accordance with his status; and in accordance with the tradition of the kingdom, allow my The family raised ransom in exchange for personal freedom..."

"To be honest, you are not worthy!" However, Jiang Tian only took a deep look at him before uttering a few words lightly:
"What?" Adalbert, the head of the Penang Army and Earl of Meaux, couldn't help being surprised and angry when he heard the words: "Could it be that you have abandoned the honor and tradition of being a knight class, and degenerated to the same level as those lowly people? Is it to the point of wanting to act recklessly regardless of dignity?"

"No, I just never compromise with the aliens, and I will not easily forgive the existence of colluding with the aliens." Jiang Tian shook his head and said: Then he waved his hand, and there were more than a dozen corpses of enemy knights wearing heavy plate armor , was carried over by the left and right soldiers and displayed in the open space.

Although, most of these corpses were mutilated, or were charred black.But it can be vaguely seen that under the cover of the heavy armor, the corpses of these knights not only have exceptionally thick body hair and deformed limbs that are different from ordinary people, but also have obvious protrusions and deformations on the head and face.

Obviously, after the change of the celestial sphere, in order to obtain more sources of knights for blood inheritance, the Burgundian dynasty in the north made some kind of taboo attempt on the knights of the dynasty; as a result, the bodies of these knights were all Distortions with different degrees of heterogeneity appear.

This is not a good sign.You must know that before this, the Freedom Army sent people in the kingdom to widely publicize and announce the secret hidden aliens, trying to destroy and pollute the conspiracy of the kingdom's knights' blood and inheritance; and use this to show that there is no compromise on the threat of all aliens Attitude.

But now it seems that the Burgundian dynasty in the city of Seine has instead used a certain change represented by the change of the celestial sphere to further intensify the fusion and mutual utilization of the dark and the alien.However, the scene shown in front of them seemed to have a shocking effect on these captives.

"Impossible!" "Absolutely impossible!" "This is slander and frame..." "I will never believe it." "This must be the result of your forgery." Someone couldn't accept it on the spot, and they shouted one after another. Scold and justify.But there were also a few who remained silent.

However, Jiang Tian no longer cared whether they believed it or not; anyway, if there were no accidents, these people would have to go to the mines and saltworks, and spend the rest of their lives under strict supervision to contribute the last remaining value to the southern salvation government.Just as he was about to wave his hand to be taken down.

The sudden obvious vibration from a distance once again attracted the attention of most people.It was a series of earthquakes that caused the sand and soil of the fortress to fall down.This is no longer a group charge launched by cavalry, but more like the footsteps of some kind of large creature that is continuing to march.

Then, a small hill that was slowly moving appeared on the edge of the distant battlefield following the movement of a large number of trees being broken and toppled.Although it seemed that the distance was far away and the movement was slow, but not long after, most people on the battlefield had a clear view of the moving hillock.

It was a giant monster more than ten meters high with a hunched back and walking on hands and feet; on its deformed and protruding back, there were even large pieces of earth, rocks, trees, grass and vegetation; The tamed stone monster was as humble and ridiculous as a toy.

And the appearance of this giant monster also made the two camps who were fighting unavoidably make an uproar.Most of the soldiers of the Freedom Army, under the orders of officers and veterans with rich combat experience, alternately covered and gradually left the battle, and the enemy army on the opposite side responded similarly.

"That's great, my father really cherishes and loves me. He even awakened this hidden existence." However, Mr. Federo, who was on the top of the castle, showed an overjoyed expression, while facing his subordinates Hissed and shouted: "Quick, immediately follow me to counterattack and break through."
