Unknown Knight

Half an hour later, the armed forces of the Harisi family finally tied up and assembled the ladders. They had almost rested and it was time to launch an attack.

Ivante looked up at the sky. It would be hot in half an hour at most. He had been struggling internally. The previous battle had taught him that Aix was not easy to deal with. He even subconsciously felt that his attack was too risky. He sent out his troops without knowing anything clearly, which would probably lead to failure.

But his mentality at this time is the same as that of most gamblers. He has already sat on the gambling table, the chips and money are in his hands, and the dice cup is ready. How can you ask him not to open the cup? Even if he knows in his heart that there is a high probability of losing this time, if you ask him to turn around and leave now, he will be 100% reluctant.

"Go! Ugh, start attacking!"

He almost choked on his saliva, but luckily he had a loud enough voice to swallow it in time before issuing the complete command.

Fortunately, the two veterans under his command were experienced. After hearing what Ivante said, they shouted:

"Come on!"

All the family soldiers followed with a roar and rushed towards the city wall two or three hundred meters away.

But the soldiers attacking the city were also puzzled. The other side clearly had archers, and their shooting was very accurate, otherwise they would not have charged from such a distance. However, they did not receive many arrows while rushing forward.

Only those slingers, when they stopped and were about to throw stones at the soldiers on the city, would be shot with very accurate arrows and killed directly. Seeing this, the other surviving slingers hurriedly put away the leather ropes in their hands, hid in the crowd, and dared not show their heads.

It was not until they rushed to the bottom of the city wall in front of them and placed the ladder on the wall that they discovered that the enemies on this section of the wall were running down the stairs in terror.

This is a closed section of city wall. The three concave walls are separated by two watchtowers at the corners. The left and right sides are about thirty meters wide, and the side facing the enemy is about sixty meters long. The section of the wall that they rushed up with ladders was facing the enemy. The two entrances and exits of the walls on the left and right sides have been sealed. There is only a three-meter-wide cave door leading to the inside of the mound. The soldiers on this section of the wall escaped into the mound through that cave door.

The two veterans who were in charge of leading the charge and commanding had never seen such a situation before, and they did not think much about it. They were excited to see the prey and pointed their sabers at the enemies who were panicking and pushing and shoving at the cave entrance and said:

"Charge! Charge forward and stick to them. If we rush into their lair, we will win."

The soldiers of Harisi's family did not expect that it would be so easy to climb to the top of the city wall. Thinking that victory was in sight, they shouted "Ah" again and rushed down the stairs to the bottom of the city wall.

When they rushed to the cave entrance, the enemies at the entrance had "just" all fled back into the cave. They rushed into the cave without hesitation. When they were about to rush out of the more than ten-meter-deep passage and into the central hall, a neat row of reed shields blocked their way.

This row of reed shields was arranged closely, with a gap in the upper right corner of each shield. Long spears stretched out from the gap, making the entire shield formation look like a tortoise shell with thorns. Anyone who dared to approach the shield would be stabbed with several bloody holes by the retractable spears.

Not only that, there were archers behind the shield formation who kept shooting out from the gaps deliberately created by the shield formation. In this narrow cave passage, as long as they didn't shoot at the shields, they could hit the target with their eyes closed.

For a while, there were screams in the cave passage. Countless soldiers of Harisi's family were killed and wounded. Those in the front wanted to retreat, but the people outside the cave wanted to rush in, fearing that if they rushed in too late, they would get nothing. As they pushed forward and backward, everyone was deadlocked and could not move forward or backward.

The soldiers outside the city had no idea what was going on inside. They only heard an excited shout of "Ao" from inside. This sound was usually made by the victors after breaking into the city. They mistakenly believed that the city had been breached, and they scrambled to climb the ladders to enter the city and loot.

Soon, more than 400 family soldiers climbed into the city wall using ladders. Only a dozen personal guards protected Ivante. His body, which was almost half as long as his horizontal length, was not convenient for him to climb the city wall. He waved his hand with great pride and called a personal guard to say:

"Go up to the city and tell Yusuf and his men not to just think about looting, but to first take the prisoners into custody and then open the city gates from the inside. I want to go into the city and count the supplies."

At this moment, the city gate facing them suddenly opened, and more than ten knights rushed out, led by Niza, Bestur and Zeb. They rushed to the bottom of the city at lightning speed, and knocked down five or six ladders by chopping or dragging with ropes.

Then they turned around and rushed towards Ivant, surrounding Ivant and his guards who were still riding on their camels, shouting at them:

"Put down your weapons, surrender and you won't be killed."

Seeing that the guards were still holding their weapons and seemed ready to fight to the death, Niza and his men galloped around Ivant and the others on horseback several dozen meters away, shooting as they ran. After shooting down five or six people, Ivant and his guards finally couldn't hold it anymore and surrendered with wails.

Let's talk about the situation inside the city wall. When Niza and others rode on horseback to put down the ladders, suddenly many soldiers from the strongholds rushed onto the walls and watchtowers on both sides. They stood on the entire city walls on both sides with bows and crossbows. At the same time, the second and third guard posts of the mound and even the top platform were also full of soldiers.

Without saying a word, they launched an attack on the soldiers of the Harisi family in the city wall. Arrows and stones rained down like rain, and there were wailing and screaming in the city and outside. Especially the soldiers in the stronghold who had been bullied severely. The arrows and stones they threw with resentment were accurate and fierce, and each blow could take away a local.

The braver soldiers of the Harisi family ignored the danger of the five-meter-high city wall and jumped down from the wall. However, they were caught up on horseback and shot to death one by one by Niza and others who had already completed the disarmament mission.

Seeing that it was almost over, the casualties of the Harisi family soldiers below were close to a hundred. Aix gave the order and everyone shouted to the Harisi family soldiers trapped in the city wall:

"Those who surrender will not be killed!"

The cessation of attack and the continuous shouting calmed down the almost boiling excitement of the Harisi family soldiers in the city wall. They tremblingly threw their weapons into a pile, and then squatted obediently in the corner of the wall on the other side. Anyone who did not follow the requirements or reacted slowly would be pierced by an arrow.
