Chapter 725: Battle of Chalons 3
The dismounted Alans formed a circle, using all the weapons in their hands and on the battlefield to constantly resist the Alemanni who tried to surround them, so that each attempt ended in a bloody defeat.
"Damn bastard, why are you so unwilling to die!"
Seeing the pursuing Alans dismount and resist, they frantically counterattacked and repelled all the Alemanni who tried to surround them again and again. Frederick's heart was even more irritable at this time, he roared loudly with his battle axe, and joined the battle against the Alans with the soldiers who accompanied him.
The king of the Alemanni joined the battle as one
The non-stop bloody battle exhausted Andrew's party, they gasped for breath, and the weapons in their hands weighed a thousand pounds.
The look on each of their faces was filled with despair, and no one knew how long they would be able to hold on next.
"Die! Die! ”
Even though Andrew was out of breath, his whole body was soaked in blood, like a killing god who had risen from a sea of blood.
Even though he kept roaring like a wild beast, he had to admit that he was really exhausted, and he was now standing under the protection of the other Alan soldiers, who were now falling one by one from exhaustion.
"Damn, it looks like we can't get out!"
As the minutes ticked by, the Alans' roars grew smaller and smaller, as the numerical inferiority made them more and more unsustainable, and the falling Aran soldiers made their circle of resistance smaller and smaller. Diego shouted loudly from the sidelines, and it was not difficult to see his despair at this time.
"Hold on! Hold on! ”
Andrew shouted with his last strength to try to calm Diego's emotions at this time, but it didn't feel to any avail, after all, even Andrew himself didn't know what the fate would be next.
"Romans, Romans!"
Frederick was armed with a battle axe and an iron sword, and as a powerful warrior of the Alemanni people, he could cut down an Alanis or Roman cavalryman when he took the axe.
"Romans, where are you, Romans, damn thing!" Frederick kept yelling, and what he said was self-evident, and he saw the familiar face, so he couldn't wait to come and see this long-lost opponent.
He walked straight towards Andrew, and wherever he went, he cut down any Romans or Alans who tried to resist.
"King of the Alemanni, King of the Alemani!"
Seeing Frederick like an indestructible spear walking all the way through blood and corpses, his red eyes were like the gods of war in their Valhalla, and not cutting down a single Roman or Alans who tried to fight back would have drawn cheers from his soldiers.
"Come, Romans, don't retreat behind the soldiers, they are all small characters, I can't even bear an axe in my hands, but you are different, Romans!"
Frederick roared and watched the soldiers around him laugh wildly as they continued to advance, and no one could and dared to fight him along the way.
"Damn bastard!" Diego gasped, gritted his teeth and walked up with his sword, but halfway through he was stopped by Andrew, who looked back at Andrew in confusion.
"He's looking for me!" Andrew's tone was more like a sigh, only to see him slowly walk up with his sword, and the soldiers on both sides consciously stopped fighting, because they were all barbarians, so they were familiar with this matter.
The soldiers on both sides gave Andrew and Frederick a large enough space for the two of them.
"You know, I've been waiting for this day for a long time!" Frederick looked at Andrew with a smirk, and wiped the iron sword and axe in his hand very carefully with his cloak, and continued: "You are such a hated fellow, like your Augustus, the arrogant Roman, I would love to cut off your head at this time and see what he thinks." ”
"Since you want to know so much..."Andrew raised his iron sword and pointed it at Frederick in front of him, and said in a deep voice: "Then please don't have too many meaningless words, I don't believe that Your Excellency relied on his lips to get today's position." ”
"You've managed to make me angry, Roman!" Frederick's face sank as he spoke, and his iron sword and battle axe collided with each other with a crisp crashing sound.
"Roar!"
Frederick let out a deafening roar, and in an instant he pounced.
Andrew didn't dare to slack off, he hurriedly raised his shield.
"Boom!"
Frederick's muscular body slammed into Andrew's shield, sending a deep mark under Andrew's feet.
"Roar!"
Frederick let out another roar, and saw his whole body spin against Andrew's shield, driving the iron sword and axe in both hands to swing continuously, first slashing at Andrew's shield, but then coming behind Andrew with lightning speed, swinging the axe and iron sword and slashing at Andrew's back on the hard chain mail.
"Click!"
Two or three slashes made a dazzling spark in Andrew's back, and at this time, only Andrew's scream was heard, and then Andrew fell to his knees suddenly.
Through the firelight, everyone could clearly see the two horrific wounds on Andrew's back.
Andrew couldn't keep up with his reflexes due to exhaustion, and he was now gasping for breath and had to rely on his sword to support himself to be able to slowly stand up.
"What's wrong? Romans, is that all you have to do? Frederick spread his hands and looked at Andrew, who was on his knees struggling to stand up, with a mocking expression, "Are you so tired that you can't resist?" You must know that if you can't resist, even the lion is just a sheep. ”
In the face of Frederick's taunts, Andrew didn't say anything, or it could be that Andrew was already in pain and couldn't speak.
The Alemanni present raised their weapons and shouted loudly, for the victory of their king, no one expected that the victory would be so easy.
"You are chasing me like a fleeing flock, Roman." Frederick said like a beast, licking Andrew's blood from the axe in his hand, and continued, "I didn't think I would become a sheep." ”
Saying this could not vent the anger in his heart, Frederick was angry, gritted his teeth and kicked Andrew in the abdomen, causing Andrew to slam back and hit the shield of the soldier behind him.
As a sarcasm, the Alemanni soldiers sneered, shoving the exhausted Andrew around with their shields.
Eventually, Andrew couldn't bear it anymore and fell to his knees again.
"Look at you, it's really embarrassing, like I captured you in the first place." Frederick looked at Andrew, who was kneeling on the ground, shook his head, and said sarcastically: "Poor fellow, like this, it is better to die like this." ”
"Not necessarily!" Andrew gritted his teeth, and the words came out of his mouth, "It's not over yet!" ”
As he spoke, Andrew gasped for air, feeling his strength regain a bit, and slashed at Frederick.
"Dang!"
Such a slow drop of the sword made Frederick easily resist.
"This is a power that even a child who has just learned to pick up a weapon can easily do!" Frederick scoffed.
"It's not over yet!" Andrew roared at this time, and then waved the shield in his hand and lifted it upwards sharply, which Frederick never expected.
"Bang!"
Frederick's whole body tilted his head sharply, and at this time, Andrew drew his iron sword fiercely, but he never wanted to be stuck by Frederick's axe and couldn't pull it out.
"You managed to provoke me." Frederick jerked his head down, grinning, and blood flowed down his open mouth, missing a few white teeth in the bloody mouth. "I'm finally tired of it, you damn thing!"
Frederick crapped his right hand, then jumped up and kicked Andrew, sending Andrew flying more than two meters into the air and falling heavily to the ground.
"Damn, that's enough!" At this time, seeing that Andrew had no strength to resist at all, Diego stepped forward and pointed his sword at Frederick, who was about to go up and cut Andrew.
"Who are you?" Frederick looked at Diego angrily.
But at this moment, only a long horn was heard, and in an instant, only the sound of killing behind the Alemanni was heard to the sky, and when I turned around, I saw only a large number of torches surging in the darkness.
With the sound of a large number of horses' hooves, only to see the cavalry roaring like a tide, they quickly surrounded the Alemanni army and suppressed the Alan.
And in the darkness arrows rained down, striking the unprotected backs of the Alemanni people, and the arrows fell in large groups, and they did not know where the arrows would fall from in the darkness.
"What's going on? What's going on? ”
Frederick hurriedly raised his head and looked at the cavalry that had been there in all directions, and then realized that they were surrounded.
"Retreat! Fall back! ”
Frederick had to call his men back again.
