Chapter 74 Under the City of Jerusalem

> When the battle was defeated, Egil was furious and did not forget to command the army and change the tactics again. The guard knights ran around and immediately conveyed Egil's orders. The Crusaders immediately changed their tactics. Instead of advancing forward, they held on the spot and rebuilt the defense line. This made Saladin on the opposite side very angry. He originally thought that when the Arab army suddenly counterattacked, the opponent would catch him off guard and let his side take a little advantage. However, Egil reacted immediately, so that Saladin's small conspiracy did not succeed.

Of course, the idea of ​​the commander of both sides did not affect the soldiers at the bottom. Inspired by the senior leaders of both sides, both Muslims and Christians fought extremely hard, squeezed out the last bit of their bodies, and vowed to split their enemies in half. There were even many soldiers who died in such high-intensity combat, or were exhausted and fainted - and then, such soldiers would be rushed up by the other party and chopped into meat sauce.

After the two sides had a tug-of-war, the sun finally slowly set. The light became darker and darker. The soldiers on both sides were affected. Some places also caused some accidental injuries to their friendly forces. After that, Saladin led the army and began to retreat steadily. After seeing that the Crusaders did not mean to chase after them, he breathed a sigh of relief. He began to turn around and retreat in the direction of the Holy City.

"Does... think this will end?" Egil hummed lightly, turned his head and looked at Alpha, the Death Knight Captain who had been resting for a while and had slightly recovered some of his strength.

"Use your military achievements to make up for your mistakes." Egil said lightly.

"I understand, lord." In a short period of time, Egil gathered a total of 600 knights from various countries who still had the power of fighting. He handed them over to Alpha and told him: "You can attack when you see the enemy relax. If you can't find a chance, come back." Alpha responded, as if he agreed.

After explaining his knights like this, Egil shouted at the knights who participated in the battle: "Warriors, you are participating in a bright and sacred battle. And I promise you that your bravery will receive a huge reward - kill a pagan, and I will reward you one hundred Normankins; kill a pagan officer or capture one. Knights can be upgraded to one level, knights are upgraded to the Royal Knights, and the Royal Knights are upgraded to the Guards. The Guards can join my personal guards! And foreign knights, if they are willing to serve me, they can directly join the Royal Knights. If they are not willing, I will give him one thousand Normankins!"

Before the knights could be happy—Egil's other words made them mad: "In addition, if anyone can kill Saladin, I will confer him the prince of Jerusalem!!! I believe it!!!"

When Egil said such words, the enthusiasm of the knights was completely ignited! Become the monarch of Jerusalem, the kingdom of heaven on earth?! Isn’t this opportunity to reach the sky the most eager for these knights involved in the jihad?! Such a reward, let alone let them pursue a tired enemy. Even if they are allowed to face all the Egyptian troops head-on, they will be willing to do so!

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Twenty minutes later, the Arab vanguard troops had entered the city of Jerusalem. Saladin's rear troops could also blur the outline of Jerusalem with the help of torches and the light emitted by the stars and moons.

"This battle...is a draw. However, the opponent's performance is indeed remarkable. It seems that you need to pay attention when fighting those pagans in the future." After thinking that he was out of danger, Saladin breathed a sigh of relief. Although he was exhausted and hungry, he still talked and laughed at Zhao Haier next to him.

"It depends entirely on your command ability, Master. I believe that under your command, the pagans will eventually return in vain." Zhao Haier said expressionlessly under the dim fire.

"Hahahahaha... I have to rely more on you and the efforts of others." Saladin laughed and said this - however, at this moment, when Saladin's army was less than five hundred meters away from Jerusalem, the soldiers had completely relaxed - even the group of soldiers walking at the end gave up on the alert. Suddenly, a violent sound of horse hooves came from behind them!

"Enemy!" The Arab soldiers immediately became panicked. Some tried to turn around to resist, but more people accelerated their pace, hoping to hide in the solid walls of Jerusalem early to escape the attacks of the crusaders. Such conflicting behavior aggravated their chaos.

"Don't panic! Don't be confused!" Saladin's face turned pale with anger. He waved his scimitar and killed several soldiers running scattered in succession, but he could not gather the army again. After a day of fierce fighting, the soldiers were extremely tired. In addition, the city of Jerusalem was so close to him that it was really difficult to make them turn back and continue fighting at this time.

The next moment, when the five or six hundred knights of the Crusaders launched a fierce charge towards them in a loose formation, this fear and chaos became even more intense. After a charge, hundreds of Arab soldiers at the end screamed and fell to the ground, and the knights immediately released their knight guns, swung their long swords, half swords, battle axes, maces and other weapons, and scattered them in the chaotic Arab army.

At this moment, Alpha took the lead, rushed to the front with a revenge. His target was still Saladin's head-

"I recognize him. He is the black knight during the day! He killed many people! We can't beat him!" Some Arab soldiers who saw the heroic figure of the Alpha battlefield during the day shouted in horror, then threw down their weapons and began to run away.

"Escape quickly!!" With the help of examples and the fierce charge of the crusaders, the Arab army completely collapsed. People howled in panic and fled into the city of Jerusalem. And Saladin had no way to inspire them to courage. The caliph, the great hero of the Islamic world, was also infected by a terrifying atmosphere. Under the protection of the only two hundred remaining Casarji guard cavalry, he also fled to the city of Jerusalem with a life-long escape.

However, Saladin was in a relatively backward position, with thousands of Arab soldiers blocking in front of him. If he wanted to enter the city, he had to let them go in first. However, Saladin did not have that good patience.

"Let's give up, the Caliph is here, get out of the way!" The Casaji guards shouted like this, wanting them to get out of the way. However, life and death are a big deal, and the Caliph's name is nothing compared to his own life. No matter how the cavalry shouted, the soldiers just thought it was not heard and still tried their best to push forward.

"Kill them - they are rebellion!" At the critical moment, Zhao Haier gritted his teeth and shouted like this. The Casar Guards' cavalry also had red eyes and began to wave maces and scimitars, killing the soldiers in front of him and the Caliph.

In such a crazy and desperate atmosphere, the other Arab soldiers also reacted and began to chop and kill the friendly troops in front of them, or take the initiative to take action, turn around and chop over the guy who wanted to kill them. Thousands of soldiers in the Arab rear formation were red and killed themselves and themselves. Although they did not have the courage to face the powerful knights of the Crusaders, they were very powerful when dealing with their own people. The gate of Jerusalem was suddenly filled with blood.

"Roar, rush over and kill Saladin! The emperor has already given an order. Whoever can kill Saladin will enthrone him as the prince of Jerusalem!" In contrast to the panic of the Arabs, the Crusaders attacked the enemy frenziedly and tirelessly. They fought desperately and rushed towards Saladin, just trying to cut off Saladin's head in exchange for a lifetime of glory and wealth!

Along the way - from the gate of Jerusalem to five hundred meters outside the city, this section of the road has become a tragic battlefield. The soldiers who ran back to the city were pale and trembling and unable to move, but they all smiled. Because they knew that they had saved their lives. The Arab soldiers outside the city were still struggling to escape and kill, trying to earn a life.

"Look! It's Saladin there! Kill him!"

In this way, in the end, the Crusaders caught up with Saladin, who was under the escort of the Kasagi Guard. The knights who rushed in front shouted loudly, blushed with excitement, rushed towards Saladin - and then fought fiercely with the Casagi Guards behind the temple.

"Don't look, master! Escape back quickly!" Seeing Saladin's desire to speak, Zhao Haier was furious - he didn't care if Saladin didn't die. However, if Saladin didn't escape, he couldn't escape. Even if he ran away, where would he go without anyone in command? He couldn't handle this...

"Ah-yes, go quickly! You really have to go quickly!" Saladin nodded repeatedly and rode his horse forward. The Kasagis and others came out of their soldiers, and at least they protected him and escaped.

"Close the city gate!" After Saladin returned to the city, he immediately ordered. A group of Arab soldiers who entered the city in advance immediately executed the order and cut off the rope of the gate. The iron gate suddenly smashed from top to bottom, crushing several Arab soldiers who had no time to come in into two sections. At the same time, it isolated the life path of Arab soldiers outside...
