The gap in the northwest corner of the city of Mesta, which was destroyed during the last time the Odin captured the city.
Although the Odin people later tried to organize manpower to repair the city defense, the destruction of the city wall was not easy to rebuild, and the army of the Red Snow Army soon left, and the Odin army left in Mesta City only in the thousands, and later successively transferred some of them to garrison other small cities.
The occupation forces of Mesta, too, tried to recruit the people of the city, but the citizens here hated these foreign invaders who had occupied their homeland, and because of the martyrdom of Lord Krinthia, the hearts of the people who had been favored by the ruling of Krinthia for many years were full of resentment.
Therefore, the work of the Odin people to recruit the craftsmen has not been smooth, even if the Odin people with butcher knives forcibly recruited people, but when everyone worked, most of them were in violation of the yang and the yin, and the gap in the northwest corner was not repaired for a long time.
Soon the rainy season came, and the heavy rain continued to make the construction even more difficult, and the Odin defenders in the city could only let it go.
When Char and the others rested until midnight behind the hillside outside the city, dark clouds rolled in the sky, and there was a faint sound of rumbling thunder, and then there was a loud click, and a lightning bolt cut through the darkness of the sky, as if a photoelectric axe had directly split the sky With this thunder, the crackling rain came down again, and suddenly between heaven and earth, it was shrouded in a thick rain curtain, the rain was extremely fierce, like a scoop, crawling on the hillside overlooking the city, and the city of Mesta, which was not far away, seemed to be in a haze.
Such low visibility made Char happy in his heart.
As the rain fell, most of the small number of torches on the city wall were extinguished, and the light became darker and darker.
The visibility was getting lower and lower, and Char simply stood up on the hillside, anyway, with such a thick rain curtain, he didn't have to worry about being seen by the people in the city.
The crackling rain washed over Char's face, and immediately calmed his anxiety a lot.
Char simply raised his head, tilted his head, closed his eyes, and felt the dense raindrops fall on his face.
He even tore open his shirt with great force, exposing his chest to the rain, which flowed down his strong chest muscles, and although his whole body was drenched, Char felt an inexplicable sense of pleasure.
The sudden heavy rain soothed the last trace of nervousness before the war, and at this moment Char opened his eyes again, his originally restless heart had calmed down, but in a pair of eyes, two flames jumped out Another flash of lightning swept across the sky, and the snowy light shone on the ground, and at this moment, Char's figure standing on the hillside clearly fell in front of the eyes of many cavalrymen In the eyes of many cavalrymen, this young leader, with his clothes open, arms outstretched, fists clenched, and a face full of sinister anger, looked at the thundering sky, and his expression of angry eyes was so amazing.
"God bless us," Char clenched his fists and shouted at the cavalry amid the sound of rain and rolling thunder.
Then, he raised a saber in his hand, pointed to the sky, and shouted loudly: "Lao Tzu knows very well, until today, there are still people among you who are not convinced by Lao Tzu, but it doesn't matter, Lao Tzu doesn't care about this, today Lao Tzu is here to give you a sentence, I am not the other officials of the empire, you follow Lao Tzu to fight, Lao Tzu will only say to you, come with me, and will never tell you to give me today's battle, Lao Tzu will rush to the front of you, you will only see Lao Tzu's back."
After speaking, Char jumped down the hill in a few strides, turned over and jumped on his war horse, he was under the lightning, the prancing horse raised his sword, and shouted: "The Odin people will remember today's battle, and you will also remember this battle on the horse."
As soon as the voice fell, he had already galloped out on horseback, and galloped away in the wilderness toward the distant city The cavalry of the brigade followed, and the heavy rain, as well as the thunder that was stronger than a sound, aroused the blood in the hearts of this group of men Nene stood at the bottom of the hillside, watching Char rush out like an angry lion, looking at the distant back, Nene clenched his fists.
This is the man I have chosen inside, and the annoying "whooshing" sound of the rain fills the heavens and the earth, and the rumbling thunder that seems to never stop, these sounds almost perfectly drown out the sound of horses' hooves.
Extremely low visibility caused by a thick rain curtain.
The raiding cavalry led by Char had almost rushed under the city walls, and was not detected by the defenders The Odin, who live in the north all year round, seem to be unable to adapt to this continuous rainy weather, such weather, as if everything is full of moisture, such weather for a month, it makes people feel as if their bodies are about to rust from the inside, especially this damn rain, rain, rain, and fucking rain, most of the Odin, on such nights, are hiding in their rooms, corroded by the moisture, as if they feel that their people are about to rot.
Although the gap in the northwest corner of the city wall was not blocked, the Odin still set up two rows of fences here, but because of the rain soaking, the soil was soft, and many of the fences had been washed crooked by the rain, and even the riders who were better at riding could control the horses to calmly shuttle through the gaps.
The rain extinguished the torches, and it was dark under the walls.
When Char and the others rushed to the city, he immediately reined in his horse, whistled softly, and immediately a figure rushed out of the cavalry, like an ape, climbing up the broken city wall with dexterity.
The figure was a little emaciated, and it barely took a moment to climb the wall, and then, very quickly, the corpses of two Odins fell from the wall, both of them with their necks wiped in the darkness, and one of them had a broken arrow stuck in his chest Immediately, half of the city wall leaned out and waved his hand vigorously below.
A flash of lightning flashed, and the figure illuminated, the young and slightly immature face, was none other than the Zaku boy Acai who followed Char out of the mountain.
Ah Cai had a short knife in his mouth, there was blood on the blade, his whole body was soaked, his clothes were stuck to his body, and the appearance of standing on the city wall and waving his arms fell into Char's eyes, and Char immediately laughed: "Kill it" The horse's hooves flew and leaped over a fallen fence Most of the Odin soldiers gathered in the tower of the city gate to avoid the rain, and just when Char led the people to approach from the northwest corner, outside the city gate, there was a rapid sound of military trumpets, the standard Byzantine army trumpet, which suddenly alarmed the Odin people in the city tower above the city gate, and they rushed out one after another, looking out from the city.
Nene led no more than two hundred horsemen, galloping back and forth in the wilderness under the city gates, and the cavalry shouted loudly, trying their best to make the most noise.
Visibility was so low that the Odin couldn't see how many Byzantine troops there were outside the city in the dark, and although they shouted and lit torches, it was not easy to make a fire in such a heavy rain Nene rode on his horse, and watched from under the city, when suddenly he snatched a riding spear from the hand of one of his men, and rushed up a few steps under the city gate, and with a loud shout, the riding spear in his hand was thrown like lightning A guy who looked like an Odin officer on the city tower was angrily scolding something, and suddenly he felt a light in his chest, and then his body flew backwards and looked down, and a riding spear had penetrated his body, nailing him to the city tower For a while, the Odin defenders on the city tower shouted one after another, the drums were beaten, the horns were sounded, and the warning signals were issued one after another, waking up all the defenders on the city wall, and more and more Odin people rushed in the direction of the city tower, Char's cavalry brigade rushed into the city from the gap in the northwest corner, and there was almost no resistance and obstruction, but after rushing into Hawke, he saw two Odin tents in the city wall, and the sound of horses' hooves alarmed the Odin people in the tent, Two Odin warriors just walked out of the tent, looking at the Byzantine cavalry that seemed to have fallen from the sky in surprise, and before they could shout, Char had already rushed to the front, and the sabers were raised and fell, and with a bang, two heads flew up into the sky Then the horses' hooves trampled on the bodies of the two Odin soldiers, and mixed them with the muddy water on the ground, and after more than a thousand cavalry rushed into the city, they quickly divided into squads of seven or eight tens, and scattered along the various roads, and the cavalry of these squads began to set fire on all sides of the streets, as Char had commanded.
Although the heavy rain did not stop, the cavalry carried with them the oil, and once this oil was ignited, it was difficult to extinguish the water, and suddenly the streets were soon filled with fire on all sides Immediately, there were bursts of shouts of killing from the city The most surprising thing for the cavalry was that their actions of setting fire everywhere were not only resisted by the residents of the city, but even received great help, many of the residents of the city who were alarmed and ran out, seeing these cavalry dressed in imperial uniforms rushing in and setting fire on all sides, these residents of the city suddenly shouted excitedly, and some even turned around and rushed into the house, and soon ran out with torches, Some people joined the arsonist team, and some people even set fire to their own houses, and some people simply followed the cavalry who set fire to the fire and ran through the streets, shouting loudly as they ran: "The imperial cavalry has entered the city, the imperial cavalry has entered the city."
Char led a large group of cavalry alone, but from a wide street straight into the depths of the city, in the previous plan, he would lead the main cavalry directly to capture the county guard They ran several streets before finally encountering the resistance of the Odin, apparently many of the Odin people gathered in the county guard in the city, although the county guard here is not a luxurious building, but compared to the simple buildings of the tribe where the Odin people live, it is too luxurious.
After conquering the city, the Odin unceremoniously made the county guard their garrison.
But the problem was that they were too careless, and the long street in front of the county guard was wide, and there were no fortifications for any defense, not even horses or stakes.
Char's cavalry almost drove straight in, although the Odin tried to resist, but on the wide street, the cavalry could charge as much as they wanted, and the Odin warriors, although brave, but with flesh and blood, to resist the onslaught of the cavalry, it was not something they could do.
The queue of several Odinites who had gathered temporarily was quickly broken down again and again, Char kept his promise, and always charged at the front of the line, he was always the first to rush into the crowd of Odin, and the saber was raised, and it was a bloody light Under the charge of the cavalry, the Odin people on the street were quickly defeated, and many of them were even knocked to the bone by the galloping horse suits, and some were knocked to the ground, and they were quickly trampled into flesh by the cavalry that followed behind There were corpses left on the long street, and soon the Odin were forced into the county warden's mansion.
However, this county guard was originally only an administrative center, and the courtyard wall was not high, and the courtyard gate was not thick.
What's more, in such a rainy weather, the power of the bow and crossbow was reduced to a minimum, and the Odin could not even fight back with a bow against the wall.
The arrows shot were all soft, and Char rushed to the front, relying on his body strengthened by dragon blood, ordinary swords were not afraid at all, just blocking the flying arrows at will, so as not to hurt the horses.
The sounds of fighting in the city and the fires on all sides quickly put the defenders of Odin at the gates into passivity.
Outside the city, there were people inside and inside clamoring for a feint, there was the sound of fighting in the direction of the county guard in the city, and there were more than a dozen fires in other places, which suddenly made the Odin people at a loss.
What shocked Odin's hearts even more was where did the sound of fighting in the city come from, could it be that the Byzantines flew into the city At this time, after hesitating, the defenders of Odin on the castle tower made a wrong decision: to divide part of their forces to rescue the county guard, and to divide another part of their forces to fight fires in various parts of the city.
I have to say that this is a decision that could not be more wrong.
If at this time, the generals of the Odin army concentrate all their forces and immediately go to the rescue of the county guard, maybe there will be a chance.
However, he was only distracted by the fires on all sides of the city, and only sent a part of the reinforcements to rescue the county guard, which directly destroyed the last chance of the Odin people to turn defeat into victory When the reinforcements sent from the castle tower rushed to the long street outside the county guard's mansion, Char's brigade of cavalry had already captured the county guard's mansion There were originally hundreds of Odin in the county guard, but under the panic and the sneak attack at night, many Odin even fought naked, and they were powerless to fight back under the fight of the cavalry It only took Char a moment to break the county guard's mansion, and hundreds of Odin were killed cleanly And by the time the Odin people brought back reinforcements from the city wall, Char's cavalry had already left the county guard's mansion and lined up on the long street to charge Seeing the Odin people anxiously running along the long street from the direction of the city gate, Char laughed and raised his bloodstained long knife: "Drive these Odin people out of the city until dawn, this city is ours" On the wide street, the cavalry in a lined up charged again, and once the thousands of cavalry rushed up, how could the infantry be able to stop them Soon, the Odin people who were waiting for news at the city gate were surprised to find that the reinforcements they had sent out were driven back like ducks on the street to fight and cry out in the distance, and the Odin warriors retreated in embarrassment on the street in the dark night of heavy rain.
Char rushed to the front, and in the melee, he also took two axes, but this ordinary attack only cut his armor, but it did not hurt him at all.
His bravery had already convinced the rebellious horse thieves.

At least this young imperial general left the impression on everyone that in terms of bravery, it was not inferior to their former leader, Miss Nene.
Thousands of Odin infantry soldiers were driven back to the city gates, and by this time, the defenders were completely disorganized.
The defeated Odin people under the city wall tried to run back to the wall, while the defenders on the city wall tried to come down to the rescue, and the two sides crowded on the narrow steps of the female wall of the city wall, crowding each other in the dark, and some people were even squeezed and fell off the wall.
Char's horse has rushed to the city gate, the saber in his hand has been lost, one hand pulled out the fire fork, the other hand desperately pulled up the reins, the war horse neighed, raised the front hooves, and immediately kicked an oncoming Odin warrior out Char was on the horse, and the fire fork quickly cut down Click The iron stakes on the stout gates were cut in two under the sharp fire forks Char immediately rushed up, and in the darkness, everyone clearly saw that a red light suddenly flashed on Char's body, and then they heard a boom, and the roaring sound even overshadowed the thunder in the sky.
In the darkness he heard a cry: "The gates are open."
Outside the city, the inner and inner eyes saw that the city gate was suddenly blasted open a huge hole, in the red light, the door panel was torn apart, and immediately without hesitation, with a shout, led his cavalry, and rushed in quickly, so far, the defeat of the Odin people has been decided Char fulfilled his promise.
Before dawn, the battle was over.
There were originally more than 3,000 defenders in the city of Mesta, and in the melee at night, more than half of them were killed on the spot, and most of them were turned into meat under the iron hooves of the cavalry in a daze before they could react.
There are also hundreds of remnants of Odin's army scattered all over the city, but when the Byzantine army entered the city, it didn't even need Char to kill it himself, and the citizens in the city who were alarmed spontaneously formed a large army to chase and kill, and almost every street appeared in a different number of citizens, these people were holding their own kitchen knives or sticks and the like, chasing and killing scattered Odin warriors everywhere.
Even after the war, the supreme commander of the Odin army in the city of Mesta, who tried to escape in the chaos, ended up stuck in a street and surrounded by hundreds of citizens, and the five Odins, including the Odin officer, were beaten alive by angry citizens with kitchen knives and wooden sticks, and even when the body was collected later, it could not even be pieced together in a complete shape.
More than a thousand Odin warriors were taken prisoner, most of them wounded.
Less than three hundred are intact.
When asked what to do with these Odin captives, Char stood inside the city gate, looking at the group of Odin who were driven together, his face was grim, and he glanced at the cavalry beside him: "What do you think should be done?"
Although these cavalrymen used to be horse thieves, they were not murderous people, and for a while some people suggested that these fellows should be released, and some people suggested that these fellows should be kept as slaves, and after listening to the voices of the people, Char slowly walked in front of the captives.
These captives were all Odin warriors, but after the defeat at this moment, they lost their fierce and ferocious appearance, and they all hung their heads down, and their expressions were a little blank under the pressure of the sharp sabers of the cavalry around them.
"Kill them all."
Char coldly dropped a sentence.
The eyes of the horse thieves around him suddenly widened, and they couldn't imagine that this young new leader was so ruthless Char snorted, and he pointed at the captives with a fire fork: "Do you think it's too cruel, then listen to me" Char's eyes looked like they were about to burst into flames.
"The ground under their feet is ours, the air they breathe now, and the food they ate last night, they were originally ours, but they appeared here, standing on our land, breathing our air, eating our food, you remember to me, these guys are invaders, for the invaders, there is no need to have any mercy or any bullshit manner, kill all these scum, let the latecomers understand that rashly violating other people's homes will pay a heavy price, if you don't let these people understand this truth, I'm afraid that they will come back unscrupulously in the future."
After speaking, Char glared fiercely at the cavalry under his command: "If you don't kill them today, tomorrow they will come back to rob our land and eat our food, and by the way, if you want your life from the invaders, you must get the fate of the invaders."
