Chapter 143 Lancer Leonidas I, go out!

Soon after it got dark, Ottoman soldiers came to challenge him. Leonidas immediately took command of the battle, but neither side could see clearly in the darkness. Only a few sparse arrows hit the city wall, and after a commotion, they retreated.

The king of Sparta had just retreated and had not yet rested when another soldier reported that the Ottomans were coming. He had to rush back, but when he arrived, the enemy had already retreated.

"Their movements today are different from the past few days."

Two harassments in a short period of time, even an ordinary person could see that this was the enemy's harassment tactic, but he did not dare to take it lightly. He did not know which time the enemy might launch a full-scale attack. As long as one stronghold fell, Constantinople would be in danger.

Leonidas vaguely guessed that he was caught in a huge conspiracy, but he couldn't figure it out. After thinking it over again and again, he decided to write a letter to Constantinople to report the situation before making a decision.

Halfway through the journey, they heard the sound of the Ottoman horn again, and saw a soldier running over to report, "General, they are attacking again."

"Tell the brothers guarding the city that no matter whether the Ottomans really attack the city or not, they must always pay attention and not slack off. I will report the situation to Constantinople first and come right back."

The soldier agreed and hurried away to pass on the order.

He returned to the command center in Rumeli Castle, sat down, looked at the paper in front of him, thought for a moment, then picked up his pen and started writing.

Dear Alvin Vasak:

I am very glad to hear of your great success in Constantinople, which is the first step towards restoring your former glory...

After Leonidas finished writing the letter, he wanted to ask someone to come and deliver it, but when he thought of his current situation, he had to give up this idea.

He closed the door of the headquarters, but saw a soldier running over in a hurry. Leonidas stopped him and asked, "What happened?"

The soldier saw that it was Leonidas, so he stopped to take a breath and said, "General, there is something wrong with the Ottoman attack. The sergeant specifically ordered me to report it."

"Each of their attacks is tentative, so we just need to defend carefully."

"This attack was more intense than the previous ones, so I came to report."

Are the Ottomans really getting serious?

Leonidas was startled and immediately said, "Let's go and take a look."

Just when he was halfway there, he saw the sergeant coming back exhausted. When he met his superior, he smiled bitterly and said, "General, there is no need to go anymore. They have retreated again."

"You're backing off so soon?"

The sergeant nodded. "The Ottomans attacked fiercely this time, but they retreated suddenly. It was hard to tell how many troops there were in the dark, but fortunately, we only lost a few hundred soldiers."

"Three hundred men are enough for me to defend Thermopylae." Leonidas sighed. "It seems that we can't rest well tonight. Everyone has worked hard! Sergeant, go and rest for a while. You will take over the defense in the second half of the night."

After the sergeant said goodbye and left, Leonidas instructed the soldiers around him, "Go and inform the patrol team. Now is the most critical time. You must be extra careful."

After making all these arrangements, he was still a little worried. He looked up at the sky and saw only stars but no moonlight. It was indeed a good time for a sneak attack.

The conditions for defending the city have improved, but why do I feel more tired than last time? Leonidas pinched his nose bridge and was thinking about it when he heard faint shouting and killing again. He had no choice but to take people to check it out.

"Are these rebels bullying me because there is no one in our army? General, they must be very proud now. Why don't I take my brothers and kill them by surprise? They won't dare to come again."

He glanced at the person who said this, and sure enough, it was an Ottoman wearing a white tall hat. No wonder he used the word "rebels" to describe those who besieged the fortress.

"Tell me what you think."

"General, since the rebels have been making movements every once in a while, it's clear that this is a tactic to tire out the enemy. We don't know if they are really coming to attack, but if we go and launch a surprise attack, how can the opposing commander expect that we will take the initiative to attack?"

Leonidas hesitated for a moment. After all, it was very dangerous to leave the city. If he fell into a trap and was really chased by the enemy, he would not even dare to open the door. He was afraid that he would never be able to come back. It was too dangerous.

Seeing Leonidas' hesitation, the man shouted, "People like us should die on the battlefield. If we continue to be so passive, within three days, I'm afraid the soldiers will lose their fighting spirit. By then, even without the enemy attacking the city, I'm afraid we will lower the drawbridge and welcome them in!"

Looking at the resolute face and determined eyes of the young Ottoman warrior, he vaguely saw the shadow of himself when he led 300 warriors to the battle.

What? Have I become so afraid of death?

"Okay, this time I'll lead the others with you to fight our way out!"

It was already the second half of the night on April 4nd. The late spring sea breeze was chilling in the middle of the night. The one leading the troops outside the city was Yericheni, who had just come to provide support. The harassment just now was very successful, and there was no loss of soldiers. At this moment, morale was high and was not affected at all.

The harassment in the middle of the night must have exhausted the Byzantines. In this way, a lot of effort was saved in taking down the two fortresses. The commander of the Guards could not help but admire Naito Maru Ritsuka even more. This was the first time he had seen such an siege since he joined the army.

After resting for about an hour, he stood up to stretch his muscles, and the guards knew that they had to take action again.

"Call the brothers from Yericheni, we are going to work!"

The guard agreed and went to gather the soldiers. Just like last time, he led the soldiers to the foot of the city, ordered the soldiers to blow the horn and shout, and ordered the archers to shoot arrows at the city.

Sure enough, there was a panic on the city wall, and then arrows were shot down. He followed the procedure and ordered the soldiers to retreat out of range. He continued to shout for a while, and after shooting for a while, he saw that his goal had been achieved, so he led the soldiers to retreat.

Just as the team turned around, there was a sudden muffled sound behind them, and the heavy suspension bridge was actually lowered, followed by an earth-shaking rumble. Before the Yerichenies could react, they all turned around to look at each other.

"broken."

The commander of the Guards felt a sinking feeling in his heart. The retreating army had no power to fight back, not to mention that the arrows they had brought had been basically used up. In a panic, he quickly organized his soldiers to line up to meet the enemy, but before the soldiers could turn around and line up, he saw the invincible Captain Yantou rushing through the night, holding a spear and rushing towards him like a prehistoric beast.

Chapter 144: The Invincible Zoffy Wins Today

The Yericheni were completely unprepared. Seeing Zoffy leading the charge, they immediately fell into chaos. In addition, the sergeant who went out to fight with them was the elite of the garrison, some of whom were veterans who had fought in the Northern Expedition with Constantine XI. The constant harassment had made these people angry for a long time, and this was a good opportunity to vent. In front of this group of veterans, the young Yericheni were like straw that fell in the wind, and many of the guards were cut in half in the panic.

Seeing that the defenders first rushed forward, then circled around and tried to attack again, the young commander quickly asked his deputy general to organize the soldiers to resist. At the same time, he sent someone to report to the main camp, while he mounted his horse, picked up his spear and rushed towards the leading general.

As long as the person leading the army can be held back, the impact of the defending soldiers will be much smaller, not to mention that he is a general in infantry combat.

With this thought in mind, he rushed closer, and seeing the man in the starlight, the Yerichenian commander was greatly surprised.

Damn, why does this guy look so much like the Spartan king in the sculpture?

While he was distracted, the captain of Yantou had already rushed to him. The leader of Yerichen hurriedly raised his gun to block. But the irony was that he was no match for him at all. The man raised his round shield, pushed over the spear, and led his soldiers to rush past him. He could not resist so many soldiers by himself, so he could only watch his soldiers being killed by the red-haired man.

Faced with this unexpected attack, he knew he had been defeated miserably, but fortunately there was still a chance to make amends.

"retreat!"

The Yericheni people scrambled to escape in the chaos. As the commander of this battle, the young officer led his personal soldiers to cover the rear. Fortunately, at this time a deafening horn sounded in the camp. After knowing that reinforcements were about to arrive, he, as the rear guard, was even more energetic and vowed to block this attack.

But his heart was still roaring: Why are a group of infantrymen rushing forward so fast!

Leonidas also heard the drumbeats. He was somewhat surprised by the gang's quick reaction. It was time to retreat, he thought.

So the Spartan king raised his spear in his right hand and rushed forward again.

The young Jerichen couldn't help swallowing his saliva. It was like a pebble hitting a rock for more than a hundred people to stop the attack of the red-haired man. But in order to protect more soldiers to evacuate, he could only grit his teeth and fight to the death, with the determination to die in his heart.

Although he looked determined, he was secretly cursing his bad luck in his heart. Nero and Elizabeth's harassment before him went very smoothly, but when it was his turn, he was knocked unconscious by a hammer. With his men already lost, he could not retreat no matter what.

Just when he was preparing to fight to the death, those infantry soldiers retreated after rushing to a place not far in front of them. At this time, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. The infantry alone had scattered his troops. If the enemy had a certain number of cavalry, he might really have to die here today.

Before he could come to his senses, a sudden rain of arrows fell from the sky, and more than a hundred people were injured and fell to the ground. Unable to react in time, he hurriedly waved his spear to block, but the arrows were merciless, and a cold arrow hidden in the rain of arrows directly took his life.

Amid the screams and terror of the Guards, the raiding troops retreated back into the city, and as the drawbridge was raised again, the place became quiet once again.

"I didn't expect them to turn the tables under such circumstances. They are truly Sparta, Mr. Leonidas..."

Ritsuka recalled his experience in the seventh singularity. At that time, he joked that he hoped to never meet Mr. Leonidas on the battlefield again, but his words turned out to be a wise words.

"Since the defenders are ready, should we stop?" Ophelia said, but she herself did not believe it. "

Li Xiang immediately shook his head. "No, otherwise all our efforts will be wasted. To put it another way, the two fortresses are built at the narrowest part of the Bosphorus Strait. Even if we want to take this place for the retreat route in case of defeat, we must take it."

"But if we continue the operation, we will have to consider the possibility that Leonidas will lead his men out to attack again."

Faced with Mashu's question, Ritsuka fell into deep thought.

"Leonidas was able to succeed this time because these newly recruited Yericheni were completely defenseless. Leonidas' move made us afraid to harass them again. So when we sent troops again, knowing that we were already prepared, we naturally didn't dare to easily sneak out of the city to launch a surprise attack."

Nero's analysis directly pointed out the purpose of the Spartan king's plan. It happened that the next mission was commanded by her, so she immediately made a promise to Lixiang.

"Don't worry, Lixiang. I will not allow them another chance to attack tonight."

"We have harassed you several times tonight. Although we suffered the greatest loss this time, we have still made contributions. If we had not been defeated this time, I am afraid that His Highness Nero would have been ambushed next time."

"Everyone, go down and rest. We will attack the city early tomorrow morning."

As soon as she finished speaking, Akebana, who had been yawning for a long time, walked out directly. After all, they were all family members, so she didn't pretend anymore.

In the eyes of Aku Hinako, who has extremely rich life experience, although Ritsuka's every move is trying hard to imitate those ancient military generals, it is obvious that this job is not suitable for her.

She is more suitable for on-the-spot scheduling.

"So, how do we repair this singularity?"

Ritsuka Fujimaru spent the entire night thinking about this question.

Early the next morning, Ritsuka walked in yawning. Perhaps he was too sleepy, and the first words he said almost shocked Aku Hinako.

"Today is the day to take over Fort Rumeli. Please work together."

? ? ? ? ? ?

Sister, do you know what you are saying?

"Is it finally time for Elizabeth and I to perform together?"

"What? This is my performance! You're just a guest singer!"

"Senior, I will do my best!"

"So who will Ritsuka-chan send to fight? Well, it won't be me, Migu. After all, I'm just an ordinary fox, Migu."

Why are you all so excited?

And that three-tailed fox! Don't think I don't know what evil things you've done!

"Don't worry, I have my own arrangements."

After everyone quieted down, Ritsuka calmly gave the order.

"Since the defenders are unwilling to leave the city to fight, we have no choice but to intensify the siege and not give them a chance to catch their breath. This task will be handed over to His Highness Nero and Miss Elizabeth. Mash, Ophelia and I have more important tasks to do tonight."

"Master, I'll leave the housekeeping to you. Senior Akagi Hinako is easy to take care of."

Chapter 145 The traitor is...Alvin...?

It must be admitted that the defense of Fort Rumeria was indeed watertight, and the defensive equipment was well prepared. Even with Nero's command, the defenders did not suffer much loss after several attacks. You must know that this was not a feint attack, but a real battle.

"This doesn't make sense. According to expectations, the defenders should be suffering. Coupled with the lack of rest, they should have little combat effectiveness. How come it's the other way around?"

Nero looked at the soldiers who were resisting tenaciously on the city wall and was puzzled, but Lixiang was not surprised at all. Maybe Leonidas I's speaking skills were not very good, but as a practical person, his strong personal charm could better lead these soldiers.

"It's okay. After all, he is the descendant of Hercules."

Helplessly, Nero could only fight a war of attrition with Elizabeth. If she didn't understand the importance of this fortress, she would probably want to take out the Primordial Fire and release the treasure directly.

By dusk, the Ottoman attack finally stopped. Under Nero's command, the army retreated in an orderly manner. Seeing this, Leonidas breathed a sigh of relief. Although he knew that he would be harassed again tonight and the enemy would most likely attack the city with all their strength, the current situation did not allow him to be optimistic.

There has been no news from the Anatolian Fortress on the other side of the strait for four days. This is extremely unreasonable. After all, the distance between the two fortresses is only 600 meters.

But the current situation is more important. After thinking it over again and again, he could only order the soldiers to rest on the spot and be on standby at any time. However, as soon as the order was given, he saw all the soldiers falling to the ground and falling asleep, and he recalled that distant memory in his heart.

Is this the same end in different ways?

But in the current situation, no one can think of a better solution. The only hope is that Constantinople can receive the news as soon as possible and counterattack in time.

"General."

"I'm going to go across the strait to see what's going on. There has been no news from there for several days."

"What the General means is..."

The Master Chief was a little shocked. He didn't expect that he would be responsible for such an important matter.

"But General, I remember there are people who are more qualified than me—"
