The Rise of the European Emperor

While Hughes led the 1st team of hundreds of death squads to stop the French counterattack, Harrison, the deputy captain of the death squad, led the 2nd team of death squads into the city gate, and took 30 people who lived in the room in the city gate and got up in a hurry. The French soldiers held back and beat...

But when they successfully dealt with the 30 French soldiers in the city gate, they were dumbfounded when they came to the iron gate. On the iron gate, there was not only a bolt, but also an iron lock...

"Fa...ke!" Harrison was suddenly depressed.

Balk who came with them was also a little speechless, but Balk quickly reminded:

"Quickly, turn over the pockets of these soldiers, especially the pockets of officers dressed as squad leaders!" Since it's an iron lock, there must be a key. Under normal circumstances, the key is on the leader who is near the city gate.

However, they were disappointed...

None of the 30 soldiers in the city gate had keys. According to a French soldier who is still alive, the key is in the hands of the company captain above the city gate...

"Fuck! This is troublesome! Do you want to kill the gate tower and find the company captain?" Harrison was a little desperate.

But that is impossible. When they go up to the gate tower and come down, it is estimated that the main force of the French army will come.

At this moment, Balk took out a wire from his pocket... No, it was a wire saw...

Balk solemnly said to Harrison:

"Deputy Captain Harrison, please buy me some time, I need two minutes to saw through this iron lock!"

The iron lock is not big, and the French did not expect the iron lock to be indestructible to the enemy. All they wanted was to use the iron locks to buy time until the reinforcements arrived. Obviously, under normal circumstances, the purpose of the French can be achieved.

Harrison looked at the iron lock sadly (there is a torch in the city gate), nodded, and then drew out the sailor's scimitar and said:

"Brothers, let me help the captain and the others, we must hold the enemy for more than two minutes!"

Afterwards, Harrison led his men back to the inner exit of the city gate without hesitation...

At this time, the battle at the inner exit of the city gate was very fierce. The French also know the importance of the city gate, so they rush to die. The most frightening thing is that 50 plate armor infantry actually came...

Hughes and their 200 people,

In order to facilitate walking, they wear chain mail that is not too heavy. Although there is a shield, it is the most common small buckler. In terms of protection, there is a big gap with the French plate infantry.

The most important thing is that the French plate infantry are all knights, and they all have more than ten years of martial arts. Moreover, not only are they wearing a full set of plate armor with high protection, but the weapons in their hands are also very powerful two-handed swords...

In terms of infantry combat, this kind of plate armor infantry wearing full body plate armor and holding a two-handed sword is very invincible in close combat...

Fortunately, most of the 500 plate infantry in the city were deployed near the north gate, and there were only 50 on the west gate. But if the time dragged on for a long time, the other 450 plate armored infantry would definitely gather at Ximen.

The British death squads were already very powerful. They held shields in their left hands and resisted the attacks of French soldiers. And the sailor scimitar in the right hand is attacking the enemy flexibly. It is difficult for ordinary French soldiers to defeat the attacks of the British death squads. It was difficult for them to break through the defense of the round shield, but they were easily cut or stabbed by the British sailor's machete.

But the 50 French plate armored infantry were even more powerful. They were not afraid of the attack of the British sailor's scimitar. And the two-handed swords they wielded could even smash the small wooden bucklers of British death squads. And once the small buckler is broken, the British death squads can only face being slaughtered...

"what--"

"Uh--"

...

Under the strong attack of the French plate armor infantry, the death squads began to suffer a large number of casualties...

Harrison was also anxious when he saw this situation. He shouted:

"Brothers, hold on, when the door opens, our elite accomplices will come in!"

The wire saw was still sawing the iron lock, and 2 minutes had passed, and the lock hadn't been cut through. Balk's head was covered with cold sweat, but he couldn't be in a hurry, because the more anxious he was, the easier it was to make mistakes...

It took a full 5 minutes before the big iron lock was sawed off. Then, Balck called more than a dozen British death squads in the back row, and together they pulled open the west gate of Calais Fortress...

After a "creak, creak" sound, the west door was finally opened...

At this time, three thousand elite British troops had already gathered in front of the west gate...

"Brothers, go!" The leader of the commando, Molson, rushed in with a large shield and a one-handed sword...

The sword and shield soldiers of the commando are different from the death squads inside the city gate. The death squads wear chain mail for the convenience of movement. Lightweight is light, but the protection is not good. Moreover, the small round shields they used were not very strong. It can be used to resist ordinary swords, but it is difficult to deal with heavy weapons. Coincidentally, the two-handed sword is more restrained than the small buckler.

Most of Molson's commando fighters wore half plate armor and iron helmets. The large shield used was also covered with iron sheets. Their function is to defend against the 500 armored infantry in the city...

Although there are no plate armor pants, the defense of the upper body is not bad. Moreover, he also wore chain mail trousers on his legs, so he was not afraid of being hacked and cut by a sword, only afraid of being stabbed.

Plate armor trousers are not conducive to action, so the soldiers of the commando have chosen chain mail trousers. Although the protective power is not as good as plate armor pants, it is good for running. After all, they are on the offensive side and need to push forward. Unlike the defensive side, as long as you hold your position, you are not afraid of inconvenience...

...

By the time Molson rushed into the inner side of the city gate with the main force of swords and shields, Hughes' death squad had already killed more than 60 people. He himself had an arm cut off.

After seeing Molson's sword and shield soldiers rushing into the battlefield, Hughes smiled. With Harrison's support, he led his men back to the side, leaving the battlefield to Molson's sword and shield soldiers.

Then, Molson's sword and shield soldiers and French plate infantry launched a fierce and passionate collision...

"Bang—" the two-handed sword of the French plate armored infantry slashed on the large shield of the sword and shield soldier, making a loud noise. It's a pity that the large shield is covered with iron sheets, which is much stronger than the small buckler of the Death Squad just now. Therefore, the attack of the French plate armor infantry had no effect, but the shield-holding arm of the sword and shield soldier was numb.

But the one-handed sword in the right hand of the sword and shield soldier stabbed out and stabbed the French plate armor infantry, which was also the sound of metal collisions. Apparently, it didn't work...

Seeing this situation, Molson immediately ordered loudly:

"Change your right hand to hold the shield and hit them to death!"

Then, the sword-and-shield fighters selected from the Fourth Army of the Beihai State changed hands neatly and quickly, and then, holding the shield in their right hand, they all rushed towards the French plate armor infantry...

There are 800 sword and shield soldiers in Molson, and there are only 50 plate infantry on the opposite side. How can they be opponents? Fifty French armored infantry retreated one after another under the collision of the large shields of hundreds of soldiers with swords and shields.

But before Molson was happy, another 450 French plate infantry from the other three city gates arrived. Then, on the streets near the west gate, a desperate confrontation took place between 800 plate armored swordsmen and 450 plate armored infantry...
