In front of the Red City Gate of Moscow, Milia was escorted by several soldiers holding shields and looked at the situation above.
What came into view was the hill of corpses piled up by the Christians at the city gate with the corpses of rebels, while the crossbowmen and archers on the city wall were constantly firing arrows.
Arrows kept flying past Miliya's head, causing him to keep lowering his head to avoid the arrows. However, several careless guys around him were not so lucky and were shot directly to the ground.
The Red City is located on a slope, so if you want to enter the Red City, you have to climb up. If you don't want to climb, you can just take the road leading to the city gate, but this road is in the crossbowmen's way.
Under attack.
Milia watched as many of her comrades who rushed forward were shot down by crossbows and arrows. The small road had turned into a road of death, with people constantly falling on it.
But this does not affect the fanaticism of the believers. They are not afraid of life and death and continue to charge forward. No matter how many people fall around them, they have no fear. In their minds, they only think about killing, killing and killing.
Before finally reaching the city gate, except for a few impatient guys who climbed over the wall of corpses and were killed by the Russians behind them, everyone else was unloading the corpses one by one.
Then throw them on the slope by the roadside and let them roll down.
Although their minds are full of fanaticism, it is not enough to burn out their brains. The pagans still know what to do, but in the process they still have to endure the arrows coming from above their heads.
In fact, this is already good luck. We are facing arrows instead of splashed asphalt. As for where the asphalt in the Red City went, this thing has always been stored in the gatehouse for easy use, so Miliya controls the city gate.
Just dumped them right away.
And the places where he fell were also very interesting.
"Fire the arrow! Shoot it at the place where I poured the asphalt beforehand!"
Miliya ordered the archers, and then as the archers relaxed their hands, a hail of rockets and arrows fell on the predetermined location.
The soldiers' dormitory not far from the city gate started to burn, and the sudden burst of flames surprised everyone.
Then there was the inevitable panic, and Domhnall slapped his head violently, wondering why he stepped on something sticky at the doorway downstairs, and it turned out to be asphalt.
At the same time, he was glad that there was no one inside, otherwise he would really be doomed if there was someone else.
"Don't panic, it's just a fire, and there's no one inside. Take away all the things that may cause the fire from the house, and then continue to do whatever you have to do."
Just when everyone was panicking, Zoe's clear voice sounded, and following her order, everyone had a backbone and began to work according to the order, and there was no more panic.
After all, creatures like men don't want to be embarrassed in front of women, especially in front of beautiful and noble women, not to mention that the woman in front of him is not only noble and beautiful, but also has a side that makes people fear respect.
Everyone still knows Mrs. Zoe. After all, in all kinds of daily charity or activities in Moscow, this lady always takes the lead, standing in the position of a prince, and her noble demeanor is also deeply imprinted on her.
In everyone's mind, the memory of authority is still fresh.
Zoe's teacher told her the importance of authority and ritual to establish prestige among the people, and Zoe did this. Even if it was to be a vase, it should be the most noble and gorgeous vase. Of course, it could not be
The fragile kind, otherwise it would look like a trophy up for grabs.
For this reason, she had been supervising the execution of executions during her husband's absence, allowing the public to watch how she ordered the death row prisoners to undergo various tortures before being killed.
But inside, Zoe is scared after all, but she has learned to disguise her emotions, she can pretend, and she can pretend well.
On the other side of the city gate, the pagans finally opened the corpse wall, and then just when they wanted to rush in, a burst of crossbow arrows was fired at them.
In a hurry, a large number of pagans fell to the ground, but more enemies rushed up and collided with the long-awaited Christian shield wall.
A brutal fight immediately broke out inside the city gate tower. Both sides pushed shields and pushed each other constantly in an attempt to drive the enemy back. Long swords and spears seized every opportunity to stab and chop, and the people who were killed even
He couldn't even fall down, and falling to the ground had become a luxury at that moment.
Various war cries complement each other, as if this will give them more power to defeat the enemy, but the fact is that they are still fighting.
However, the defenders were supported by arrows from the killing cave. The crossbowmen kept firing arrows and throwing stones from above, killing many enemies.
It's a pity that there are also archers among the pagans. They bent their bows and set arrows, shooting at the killing hole, forcing the crossbowmen above to dare not show their heads, and could only throw stones down below without looking.
But even so, someone was still shot and rolled down from above, but the fallen corpses still killed several pagans. But after this scene, few people even dared to throw stones.
"Hold on! Hold on! Stabilize your battle line! Put up your shields! The main thing now is to protect yourself and block the enemy, not to kill!"
Domhnall's voice echoed among the soldiers, instructing them to do what they should do. His expression was not very solemn, because according to the current battle, they can last for a long time.
However, Domhnall overlooked one thing, that is, the pagans on the opposite side also anticipated this and responded accordingly.
"Bring up the battering ram!"
Following Kuna's words, the pagans rushed up carrying a huge battering ram. This battering ram was a simply processed trunk of a large tree, with only the branches cut off and the front section sharpened.
, not even the bark was peeled off.
The soldiers carrying the battering ram were all wearing iron armor and wrapped themselves like an iron can. It can be seen that the armor of the entire commando team was concentrated here, and they were also followed by a group of soldiers holding shields to protect them as much as possible.
Live them.
With its appearance, heretics and rebel soldiers moved out of the way to allow the disruptive siege engine to advance.
Originally, this battering ram was prepared to deal with embarrassing situations, but it also has another use, one that can break the current deadlock.
The crossbowmen and archers on the city wall naturally noticed the appearance of the battering ram. Although they didn't know why the pagans brought this thing up, they all subconsciously shot at the battering ram.
Arrows flew in the air, constantly falling on the shield and battering ram, stirring up bursts of sawdust. From time to time, some people screamed and fell, but the progress of the battering ram was still unstoppable.
"Lord Dill, the heretics are coming up with the battering ram!"
The soldiers on the city wall quickly reported the news, and Dill was subconsciously confused when he heard this. What were those pagans doing with the battering ram? Didn't they all clear the gate?
"Come here! Line up!"
Although he said he didn't know what the pagans were going to do, Dill still asked some soldiers to reorganize behind the shield wall as a reserve team to deal with all possible situations.
At the same time, the pagan brigade that attacked the door suddenly retreated continuously. Behind them were orders from their commanders to retreat. This sudden scene made the defenders very confused. Why did their offensive stop?
For this reason, they did not start to advance, but continued to stand there blankly, just moving the shield wall closer together.
It was also because of the sudden retreat of the pagans that the corpses that had been a luxury to fall down before finally fell down one after another, and the corpses were spread all over the ground in an instant.
And the next moment, they knew why. The pagans carrying the battering ram began to run forward, and then they ran faster and faster, and then suddenly appeared in front of the Christian soldiers.
Several pagans were unable to evade, and before they could dodge, they were hit by the team of charging hammers. They were then "carried" forward by them, and then were trampled to death on the ground, blending in with the blood and corpses.
