Unknown Knight

On the other hand, on the Aix side, when the ramp planks were placed on the top of the city wall, the soldiers in the array immediately held up their shields to support them.

They just stood there without destroying the planks or taking any other measures, which made Kugit Nayan, the leader of the team at the foot of the city, confused for a moment.

The crossbowmen did not stop. At such a close distance, they aimed at the gaps in the Kugits' shields and fired precise shots. From time to time, a Kugit would be shot and fall due to poor protection.

And from what Aix observed, very few of the Kugits on his side held iron shields, and if there were any, they were standing far back, seemingly supervising the battle rather than leading the attack. This was exactly the opposite of Voldratboye's side, where the iron shield and heavy armored soldiers were all in the front.

When the Kugits formed a formation with their leather shields and rushed up from under the ramp, a sly smile of contempt appeared on the corner of Aix's mouth.

When they rushed to three-quarters of the ramp, the infantry in the array in front of the plank suddenly put away their shields and retreated to the side. A burning wood soaked in flaming oil was lifted up and rolled down the slope of the ramp towards the Kugits.

The Kugit people in the front rows were so frightened that they screamed and retreated downwards, but they were pushed and squeezed so hard that they couldn't retreat all at once.

The Kugits didn't care about many people and even took advantage of the slope to jump onto the others behind them. People were pressing and crowding each other, and the situation became chaotic. Some people were pushed and fell off the car going downhill, and were pierced through by the sharp wooden stakes in the trench.

The burning logs that followed caused even more wailing sounds. The leather armor and leather shields that were coated with flaming oil caught fire one after another. The fear and pain made these Kugits cry for their parents.

Before they could put out the flames on their bodies, a second burning log came.

Soon, screams of agony came from the four chariots on the city wall that Aix was responsible for guarding.

Several burning logs rolled down one after another, not only killing and burning many Kugits, but also forming a fire barrier under the ramps, burning the bases of these ramps.

The leaders on Aix's side were always paying attention. Once the Kugits came with wet ash to put out the fire, they would use bows and crossbows to concentrate fire to block them. If they failed to block them, they would drop a burning log to disperse the Kugits who came to put out the fire.

Suddenly, the fire under the slope car burned more and more vigorously, drying up the wet mud on it, and there was a tendency for the whole slope car to be caught on fire.

These rolling logs were collected by Aix based on the structure of the ramp car. The beams and roofs of the nearby houses were removed. Although they were obstructed by the homeowners, there was no way they could argue under the fierce swords and guns of the soldiers.

By the time Voldratboye came to his senses and went to collect the logs, Aix was almost ready.

In addition, the side he was responsible for was far away from the shore and had no moisture. It was the residential area where the powerful people in the city gathered. When the soldiers went to dismantle the roof beams, they were timid and did not dare to do it. They were also subjected to various threats and obstructions from the powerful people.

By the time the soldiers went around to the slums and dismantled the beams and moved them over, the Kugits on the city wall were already fighting the defenders with shields against shields.

Saga Khan, who was watching the battle not far away, was extremely anxious. Some of the ramps under the city wall guarded by Aix had already started to burn. If the city wall on Voldrat's side was also burned in the same way, then the siege that had been prepared for more than ten days would be wasted again.

At the critical moment, Saiga Khan showed his decisive side as a Khan. With a wave of his hand, a team of heavy cavalry behind him galloped towards the city wall.

At the same time, at a command, the heavily armored soldiers holding iron shields on the ramps retreated part of the ramps in a well-trained manner, while the other part retreated to both sides of the planks, leaving a passage more than two meters wide in the middle for the heavy armored cavalry to pass through.

This team of heavy cavalry was built by Saiga Khan at great expense. The horses were carefully selected good horses that could run a thousand miles, and the protection was extraordinary. Not only did both the men and horses wear heavy fish-scale armor, but even the horses' front legs were wrapped in iron leg guards.

The knights on horseback are experts in riding and martial arts. They hold wolf-tooth iron clubs weighing more than ten pounds. Each horse is built at a huge cost. Normally, Sega Khan would not be willing to use them. They are specially used to break through the enemy's formation at critical moments.

The fact that this team of heavy cavalry was dispatched at this time was enough to show how much importance Saiga Khan attached to this battle.

Soon, the rumbling heavy cavalry took advantage of the accelerated momentum and rushed to the top of the city along the slope of the ramp.

The Vigria soldiers on the city wall had never seen such a formation before. No matter how hard they tried, they could not imagine that the cavalry could rush to the top of the city wall. They were already afraid of the Khergit cavalry, so they retreated and dodged.

Some brave ones even tried to stab and chop the horses with swords, but they could not hurt the horses at all.

The knight on horseback would not allow the despised Vigerian to behave rashly. He pulled the reins, the horse neighed loudly, and the knight stood up. Then he stomped heavily at the Vigerian who was holding a shield in front of him, and swept down with the wolf-tooth iron club in his hand.

With just this one blow, the two kite-shaped shields in front of them were crushed, and the horse's hooves then crushed the sternum of the shield-bearer. The sound of breaking bones could be heard by everyone. The falling wolf-tooth iron rod swept a Virgia soldier's brain, causing him to fly down the city wall. Another person who was scratched by it also had his arm dislocated and rolled on the ground.

This attack killed three and seriously injured one. It was so horrific that the Vigerian soldiers in front of him were terrified and their faces turned pale. They retreated one after another and had no courage to fight against him.

The heavily armored Kugit soldiers holding iron shields behind them took the opportunity to climb to the top of the city wall and rushed towards the frightened Vigers.

More and more Khergit soldiers climbed onto the top of the city walls. Whenever they encountered two sides holding shields in a stalemate, the Khergits would move aside to allow the heavy cavalry to step forward and trample on them with their horses' hooves. Often, before the heavy cavalry got close, the Vigers would flee in panic.

With this momentum, the Kugits on the city wall fought more and more courageously, and began to push the Vigria soldiers against the city wall, gradually advancing into the city.

When the Kugits on Aix saw that the city wall to the right of the city gate had been breached, they abandoned the four ramps whose bases had already started burning and ran to the ramps on the right to climb the city.

Seeing this, Aix slammed his thigh in anger and said angrily:

"Damn Voldrat, you really misled me!"

Aix immediately decided to leave half of the soldiers behind and let Niza lead them, telling him to just guard this section of the city gate and the city wall. If things proved impossible, he should lead the troops to retreat to the dock and guard that section of the city wall, which was their last line of defense for retreat.

Then he and Resarit took the remaining half of the soldiers and went to support Bandak who had been preparing for a long time.
