Conquer the Dawn of Heaven

v3 Chapter 188: Battle in the city

When the Venetians swarmed towards the gap of the low wall, Compatibi's face was pale and his hands and feet were cold!

The walls of Pisa are not only low but they are too rudimentary. Except for the scenery that once dominated the sea, the Pisa never had any chance to compete with the enemy on land. Even in the eyes of many people, Pisa is a vassal of Florence. Even when it was not revealed that the Medici family who wanted to completely annex Pisa was in power, Pisa did not have the courage to defy Florence's behemoth.

Because of this, the Pizza people never dared to build their walls easily because they feared that they would cause Florence to be suspicious.

Now, the Pizza people have to pay for their cowardice and weakness for years before.

Although he knew that the low wall constructed in a hurry could only temporarily delay the advancement of the Venetians, but seeing that the fortifications he built actually only temporarily stopped the enemy, Gompati was overwhelmed by a great sense of frustration.

The low wall was broken, and then the Venetians would directly hit the walls of Pisa!

"Don't be dazed, archer!"

Alexander's roar awakened Gompati, looking at the Venetian who was starting to impact the gate under the wall along the side of the low wall. Gompati shouted, "Archer! Salvo, we still Did not lose! "

The scream instantly moved everyone, looking at the Venetian who had been under the city wall after all, some archers leaned forward without thinking, and pointed the crossbow down below, but then was rushed to Venice in front of the low wall on the side The human archer shot for a chance and died in a fate.

"Let everyone back," Alexander felt cold on his head. He did not expect that the battle had fallen into such a difficult situation at the beginning of the battle. Looking at the pizza who was still struggling to resist in front of the low wall, he knew that he could no longer hesitate at this time. " Abandon the low walls outside and all withdraw to the city! "

Gompati's mouth moved, and finally he shouted unwillingly and waved to the heralding soldiers, and for a time the whisper of the Pisa's unique retreat rang.

Although many sailors still couldn't understand the meaning of the trumpet, they saw that the mercenaries immediately called to start retreating, and the sailors also began to retreat.

Under the city gate, the mercenaries who were lined up under the leadership of Alexander personally grabbed their weapons and stared nervously at the Venetian who was trying to follow the retreat and the Pizzeria over the low wall and hit the city gate.

"Get ready!" Alexander shouted loudly to the mercenaries. This is the only team that the Pizza can organize. If he can't block the enemy, maybe his only way is to rush back to the city and take Lucrezia to How far to run.

The flag of Venice could not be shaken across the low wall, and then you can see that many soldiers first tried to jump over the low wall, but because of the urging of the people behind, there were not many people who could calmly cross the wall, but some soldiers simply and directly Rolled over the wall.

The Venetian became irritable, especially after more and more people poured into the gap from the side, the Venetian in the front became more irritable. They began to smash with weapons, slammed with their bodies, and the low wall began to loosen. Then, smoke burst out, and with a blast, the unsteady wall finally collapsed.

In an instant, the Venetian army shouted as they stepped on the debris of the low wall above the ground, and rushed towards the pizza who was gathering under the gate.

"Ready to meet the enemy!"

Called Gompatti as a dad, the mercenary captain pointed the long halberd in the hand to the enemy who rushed to the front. His shouts exchanged the same fierce roar from the surrounding partners, although the mercenary ’s passion for combat was always One of the reasons for criticism, but these people who have been on the battlefield for many years know that if they cannot fight side by side to resist the enemy at this time, then they may not have the opportunity to escape and may be chopped by the Venetian opposite. Into meat sauce.

And although there is no explanation, when he saw the team of mercenaries behind the city gate, he already guessed that even if they wanted to go back and run away at this time, there was no chance.

Those mercenaries are not their companions, but the compatriots.

Obviously, Alexander used these people to supervise them!

Once they fled back, they faced a pinch from both sides.

What's more, the huge temptation of 6 cents in taxes also prevented them from easily giving up this rare opportunity.

At the forefront, the Venetian saw the halberd sticking out from behind the opposite shield. For a moment, he thought to stop, but then the person behind pushed his body to death. When he felt the halberd thorn During the momentary pain when entering the body, the Venetian also heard the mad shouts of the companions behind him who rushed up.

A **** and cruel short soldiers immediately opened under the gate of Pisa.

Alexander stood in the middle of the semi-circular array of mercenaries. All he could see was the swaying figure of the pizzeria who had receded from the outermost edge. The Venetians in front could only hear their roar. .

When the first impact of the Venetian came, even behind the team, Alexander felt great fluctuations. This Pisa formation seemed to be pushed hard by an invisible giant. The fierce shaking made people doubt. Will it fall one second after another.

But the Pisa clearly resisted. After a period of turmoil, some of the Pisa were ordered to resist, while others yelled to the people in the back to step forward and fill the position of the injured.

When the daddy's halberd was retracted, a colorful bowel hung on it, but for these veterans, he didn't even care about it. He even threw the bowel that couldn't be shaken on the fork. On the face of an enemy opposite, when his eyes were panicked because he was covered by dirty things, a pizza man raised his thick long knife and severely cut the Venetian's head.

Fighting is everywhere under the city wall, and Compatti on the wall is watching the battlefield anxiously.

The ditch and the low wall still played a role, at least when the Venetian broke through, it took a lot of time to cross the obstacles, and the team that became chaotic because of the obstacles flocked to the Pisa but failed to see the effect. The Venetian clearly realized that this unruly offensive didn't seem to immediately shake the Pisa who was good at defending.

Obviously, because of their unique geographic location, the Pisa clearly knew that the only way they could protect themselves on the land without being suspected by powerful neighbors was to try to let their troops exert their defensive capabilities. The conditions that the Pisa government has always followed when seeking to hire an army.

You can't be good at attacking, because the Pizzars don't need it, but they must be tough to defend!

The captain shoved the people in front and let them make a way. He jumped on a overturned carriage and looked at the enemies entangled with the enemy's teeth, just before he wanted to greet more people. As we strengthened, a roar of bows and arrows rang from the walls.

Gompati yelled that the only archer left on the city wall was squeezed tighter and tighter, like a rolling ant who was trying to squeeze into the Pisa's defense line and launched an attack.

Arrows whizzed away from the top of their heads, many Venetians stopped and bent involuntarily because they were afraid of being hit, but when they found out that the arrows were flying behind them, they were fighting **** with the Pisa in front. Some soldiers couldn't help but look back.

Gompati's goal was a group of infantrymen wearing thick armor. Although he could not see these people, when he saw them, they moved slowly towards the pizza with a chilling attitude, even their own people squeezed away. , A sense of crisis made him involuntarily order the archers to take turns at those people.

But with the exception of some powerful crossbow arrows, ordinary bows and arrows hit them almost without any threat to them, and as they moved closer and closer, Gompati no longer dared to let the archers blindly shoot again, otherwise they might accidentally hurt themselves. people.

The sweat on Gompati's forehead was on the wall, so he could see the team more clearly than anyone else. He knew that once they let them hit the defense line smoothly, it was difficult for the Pizza to be able to hold it.

Gompati screamed anxiously, he wanted to warn Alexander below, but his shouts were completely submerged in this chaotic battlefield, and it was obviously too late to send someone to go.

Gompati looked around anxiously, trying to find a way to stop those people from moving forward, then he suddenly caught his eyes and then greeted his men and ran to the side.

The banging noise also caused Alexander's vigilance. He saw that the pressure of the Pisa on the left seemed to be suddenly light, but then the Venetians in the distance seemed to be spreading out, which immediately made him aware that it might happen. What happened, he immediately urged the semi-circular mercenaries to move to the left, but they did not wait for how far they came out, as the front came mixed with the clamor of the pizza screams and the Venetian cheers, the whole formation of the left wing of Pisa seemed It was pushed hard again by a giant hand, first becoming chaotic and shaking, and then the front team was panicking and retreating backwards.

"It's heavy infantry, the Venetians have heavy infantry!"

A mercenary ran back in fright, his head bare, his helmet did n’t know where he was thrown, when he saw Alexander, he yelled fiercely, “You did n’t tell us that the Venetian had heavy infantry, we ’re done, they Will cut us to pieces. "

The cry of the mercenary alarmed the people around him, and people looked at him one after another, and some people's eyes showed timidity and escape.

Alexander hurriedly walked over, and his eyes rarely showed cruelty. Although he didn't want to do this, he still stabbed the mercenary's chest with a sword without hesitation.

"Maybe I can forgive if you just escaped by yourself, but now you have to die!" Alexander whispered in his ear before the mercenary fell, and then he drew his sword and shouted to the people around him "Don't forget With my promise to you, you will either become a rich man and go back home or be chased and killed by the Venetians. You have no second way! "

He said that he raised his blood-stained sword and pointed at the Venetian heavy infantry who were squeezed towards them with a steady and unstoppable momentum: "Can you create a miracle at this moment, I promise you, keep Pizza , You will get much more than ever! "

Alexander's shouts made the Pisa people hesitate to start backing because of the panic, but when they saw the Venice heavy infantry, they were a little embarrassed.

This moment of hesitation fell into the eyes of Captain Venice behind him, and there was a cheer in his mouth, as if he had seen the shadow of victory at this moment.

Hesitation on the battlefield, this is something more terrible than any danger, but the Pisa people have become turbulent because of their timidity and their already dangerous crisis on the left defense line.

"Just rush in from there!" The captain gave orders to the herald soldiers almost without thinking. His eyes flashed with excitement, although the frustration at the beginning of the war caused him to lose some soldiers, and even he himself lost Hurt, but the pizza ’s good luck is clearly over, he can even imagine that today ’s dinner can be enjoyed in the city hall of Pisa.

"At this time, honor belongs to Venice!"

General Venice, who was standing far behind the heavy infantry, shouted excitedly, his face flushed red, but the heat in his eyes was not just because of the upcoming victory.

The general who hoped to be valued by conquering Pizza was extremely excited at the moment. When he saw his heavy infantry instead of the mercenaries squeezing the Pisa's defense line, he also seemed to see the arrival of great honor and power.

The general shouted with excitement and urged the infantry to attack forward from behind. He could not tolerate the mercenaries and his credit for snatching the hand.

At this moment, he heard a loud noise of artillery.

The general raised his head instinctively, and there was a trace of doubt on his face. He didn't know what use those artillery had at this time. After all, they had entered the dead end of the artillery's range.

Then he seemed to see a dark shadow with smoke on the surface whistling from the top of his head toward him.

The general did not have time to see what it was. When his body was smashed in an instant, the scattered pieces of the torso even turned into deadly weapons. The broken meat and bones hit the bodies of the people next to them and made them scream. , And the cannonball rolled and continued to fly forward. After breaking the flag that was immediately behind the general, he pierced the stomach of a horse, and then smashed into the rubble of the low wall behind them. In the pile, a large piece of smoke was splashed.

The scream sounded behind the heavy infantry. Originally, this did not attract the attention of the heavy infantry, but the shouts of the heavy infantry that followed the general made the people in front finally notice the panic of their companions. When looking back at the flag that was thrown on the ground behind the ground and the broken pieces of the ground, the heavy infantry could not help but exclaimed!

They never imagined that the nominal commander who invaded Pisa this time was actually smashed by enemy fire!

The shaking was instantaneous. There was a brief confrontation between the heavy infantry and the Pisa who suddenly stopped moving because of the sudden loss of the general. At this time, Alexander's cry and promise to the Pisa also completely stimulated the mercenaries. And sailor.

Compared with the mercenaries, the perseverance of the sailors who have spent their lives and adventures at sea has become more intense. They even desperately launched counterattacks against the heavy infantry who stopped a little because of the accident, and behind them. The mercenaries who were also motivated by the dream that might be realized in the future also rushed up.

Until then, a cannon on the city wall was dismantled from the gun seat, and almost half of the gun body leaned out of the artillery. It was only after a few shakes that it finally could not withstand the force of swaying forward and backward. The **** on the edge of the destroyed city wall slowly slid down.

"Block it!" Gumpati shouted unwillingly, trying to stop the artillery from falling into the city, but the heavy weight of the gun body made the people next to him intimidated. Before the compulsion of Gumpati, the artillery was dismantled and installed. After the projectile, he risked to push the gun body until it hit a downhill slope. The gunners grabbed the city defense captain who tried to stop the artillery from falling.

"Go and dismantle other artillery!"

Gompati shouted and ran to another artillery not far away, but a gunner next to him pointed to something unexpectedly below: "Look, Captain, Venice."

"What happened to the Venetian?"

Gompati asked fiercely, then looked back outside the city.

The Venetians outside the city are still attacking, but if you look closely, you will find that only the enemies in the center and the right are constantly fighting. The Venetian on the left seems to be slow and hesitant because of what happened, especially that A formidable heavy infantry, they are not far from the Pisa, but they have not launched an attack, instead they are slowly retreating backwards, and at the same time Compatiti noticed that a small team seems to be a general The Venetian was running in a hurry to the left along the edge of the low wall that had been destroyed.

"what happened?"

I do n’t know yet. Gompati, who killed General Venetian with a single shot, grumbled, but soon discovered that the Venetian attack in the center seemed to slow down because of the delay of the enemy on the left.

Alexander also noticed the strangeness of the Venetians. Although he didn't know what happened, the unexpected retreat of the heavy cavalry and the sudden decrease in pressure on the left side made him think this was a rare opportunity. UU reading www.uukanshu.com

"Go up," Alexander yelled. He felt a sore throat, but now he can't take care of it. The Venetian center seems to have become dull due to the influence of the left side. Alexander even saw that the pizza in front had already begun Counterattack "Don't risk, keep your formation!"

Alexander endured a sore throat and kept shouting. He didn't know what happened to the Venetian, but apparently the situation suddenly became favorable for the Pisa.

A drum sound sounded from a distance, and the pizzas who were struggling to hold their formations were stunned, and then a loud shout broke out.

Alexander realized something only after the Pizzars cheered. As the enemies receded in front of him, he gasped and lowered his arm, which was already about to lose his instinct, and looked away.

Then he exhaled gently.

"The Venetian, retreat." Alexander weakly propped his body on the ground with his sword, and then looked at the Venetian who slowly retreated, he muttered lowly to remind himself "This is only the first meeting, Alexander, just the first Meet together. "
