Chapter 212 The Battle of Cambridge

"Report to the lord, the county seat of Cambridge is ahead, requesting an order to siege the city." The scouts in front of the survey reported back the situation. After all, it is only a small county seat. Looking at the entire city of Cambridge, the population is only 5000, and there are no deep trenches for cover. With an earth rammed wall of less than five meters, the defense is a bit shabby.

This time, Li Peijun also came prepared. Having learned the lesson of not having any equipment to break the city in the last battle, he brought a considerable number of light catapults this time. After observing the situation on the outer battlefield, Li Peijun focused on a commanding height of the army. The city of Cambridge attacked.

"Soldiers, show your fearless courage, rush in through the torn gap and cut the enemy into pieces. Your deeds will be permanently engraved on the hero memorial monument for future generations to admire, and your reputation will also be remembered by the world. Praises and praises.” Facing the warm sun, Li Peijun raised his sword and pointed straight ahead, while the cavalry behind him charged first and then moved forward.

On the entrance of Cambridge, Bender paced back and forth anxiously. The weak defenders were not strong enough to resist the opponent's tiger and wolf division, but all of this happened to him as if without warning.

"Where did the enemy come from? Who are they? Have you sent a letter of help to the King of England?" Bender, who was at a loss, uttered three puzzles in a row, and kept asking the knight who appeared in the field of vision. same problem.

The knight who was also anxious grabbed Bender who was scurrying around and comforted him: "Sir, calm down, we can't mess around with the enemy now, the rescue letter has been dismantled and sent out, if we persist for two more days, we will soon be able to Wait until reinforcements arrive."

Regardless of dissuasion, Bender broke free and retorted: "I still persist for two days. Thank God if the enemy can defend this offensive until sunset. Can you think of a way to help me deal with this group of enemies? I will reward you a lot."

The knight shook his head helplessly. In the face of absolute strength, any strategy is nonsense. Bandel is not a mighty lord. He is just a conspirator who is good at political intrigues. Like the Duke of Ephia, he is a military officer. layman.

The offensive progressed faster than they had imagined. With the mud and earth splashed in all directions, the base of the rammed earth wall collapsed under repeated blows, and most of the wall on one side collapsed in an instant. Lehr's army gave a signal of victory, and under the sound of the charge horn, the infantry also swarmed into the city of Cambridge.

"Remember the military order, don't disturb the people and rob property, but all the nobles who surrendered will be arrested and escorted, and only those who resist will be killed." Li Peijun reiterated the discipline loudly at the ruins of the ruins. The voice was so loud that many people on both sides of the enemy It can be heard clearly that although the enemy is outnumbered, most of the guarding knights still adhere to the spirit of chivalry and defend their homeland to the death.

Looking at the knights attacking from the front, Li Peijun sneered and squeezed the giant sword tightly in his hands, "Your stubborn beliefs will eventually turn you into a pile of bones and drown in the long river of history."

Even in a round of hand-to-hand combat, our own side has an absolute advantage in terms of numbers and combat power. Courage has not brought any substantial changes to the battle except for their ignorance and recklessness.

"I can see the fear and helplessness in your eyes, but I won't pity you for this. If you could surrender before drawing the sword, the end might not be so miserable."

After Li Peijun read the death sentence, he raised his shuriken to the opponent's chest. The original balance of power was suddenly reversed, and he pushed him off the horse with his strength. With a magnificent slash, blood sprayed on the shiny iron hoof.

Not every knight can abide by the principles and go to death generously, and there are not a few "time-conscious people" who are greedy for life and afraid of death. Seeing their pitiful appearance kneeling down and begging for mercy, Li Peijun sneered and ordered someone to temporarily take them into custody .

"Does any of you know Bender? Is Bender among the crowd? Or is he already killed?" Li Peijun repeated his words over and over again. Although Socia only mentioned this name once, fortunately, he had already firmly remembered it. in mind.

"He...he should be dead."

"Maybe he escaped..."

The knights with their hands tied behind their backs looked at each other in confusion. Indeed, City Lord Bandel was not found among the crowd. Driven by fear, the knights began to speculate.

"I know...Bander...Bander has hid in the church." A frightened knight said, looking at the stammering embarrassment, as if he had been struggling for a long time before he planned to reveal it to himself.

"Sure enough, there is never a shortage of leading parties." Li Peijun turned around and ordered the soldiers on standby: "Leave a small number of people to guard them, and the rest follow me to the church."

Bishop Attlee was celebrating mass in the church as usual today, but was suddenly disturbed by Bender who was fleeing in a panic. In desperation, Bishop Attlee had to hide Bender in the prayer room for a while.

I still pretend to be calm and sit in the church. In fact, I can't run very far with just two legs. Generally, if it is a clergyman of the church, the intruders will only smash and burn the church at most, and will not take his life. Just stay in the hall at ease.

Before Genesis, the first book of the Bible, was read, a mob stormed the church.

"Oh, God, look at what these guys have done under the protection of your holy light. Your majesty has been violated. They will definitely pay a heavy price for this." Attlee secretly turned his back to the intruder After cursing, he turned around and responded with a smile: "Guests from afar, why are you here?"

Li Peijun said leisurely: "Of course I am doing what needs to be done. Tell me quickly where Bandel has gone. A knight reported that he ran to you."

"Oh, God, I swear in the name of the Lord, Bender never came to my place." Bishop Attlee seemed a little guilty, holding up the cross necklace hanging on his chest, his hands kept shaking trembling.

Li Peijun doesn't like this at all. I don't know how many times I was deceived by this kind of nonsense when I was a child. It was a sweep, and the wooden cross in Bishop Attlee's hand also shattered into two flat pieces. .

"Oh, God, look at these gangsters, what have they done to your token, they are really heinous gangsters." Attlee is a frail priest, who has no ability to resist except playing lip service.

"I'm asking you again, where is Bandel, and please call Bishop Attlee." Li Peijun raised his sword and took another step closer. The tip of the sword was no more than his fingertips away from the opponent's vital points. He was obviously trying to force the opponent. Submit.

"Are you talking about Bishop Attlee? I am, I am." Attlee thought that the other party recognized him, and he had no impression that he had any trouble with anyone, so he readily admitted his identity.

"Oh, so you are Bishop Attlee." Li Peijun showed an unbelievable look in his eyes, followed by a strange smile.

"God asked me to bring you a message. He is very optimistic about you and wants to take you to heaven." The sharp sword silently pierced into Attlee's chest and came out from the back. The bishop has not yet figured it out What was going on, the smile that had just been revealed was permanently frozen on his face, and his body fell to the ground stiff and breathless.
