"Boom!"

Another siege tower had been topped off by stones thrown by a Burgundian trebuchet, and splintered planks mixed with the screams of the flying soldiers smashed from the siege tower like stones into the crowd below. The dilapidated siege tower did not stop, but continued to advance under the impetus of the Germanic people below.

The Germanic army crushed the last of the Burgundians under the blackened walls of Worms like a great hammer.

"Bang!"

The first siege tower was docked on the wall, and the roaring Germans pushed open the baffle in front of them, and rushed up the wall with the baffle as a bridge, and the Burgundian archers who did not retreat in time on the wall were powerless to resist the bows and daggers in the hands of the roaring Germans. In an instant, a one-sided massacre began on the walls of Worms, and rain mixed with blood flowed down the walls of Worms.

"It looks like Aetius is about to seize the decisive point." I smiled and said to Andrew, "Just take the wall, and Worms will fall in half." At least for now. ”

"Oh yes, Luga." Andrew clapped his hands as if to applaud Aetius, and then said, "I thought the Burgundians would have something to do, but now it looks like their last barrier is about to be torn open!" It must be said that Marshal Aetius was still very risky. ”

"Woo!!"

Behind the Germans, dozens of horns sounded at the same time, which meant the beginning of a full-scale offensive, and now the situation was too smooth. The Germanic mercenaries in front continued to advance, and more and more soldiers climbed the siege towers and jumped onto the walls. In the same way, the corpses of the land outside the city were left behind where they walked, and behind the army, hundreds of cavalrymen with rifles and shields marched slowly in a row.

"Marshal Aetius's overseer cavalry, now the Germanic mercenaries have no other way but to attack." Andrew seems to know a lot about these things.

Hundreds of overseers stopped less than two hundred meters behind the Germans, weighing their spears and waiting for the Germanic army to capture the walls, marking the slow opening of the gates of Worms. Large Germanic people poured into the city, and it seemed that Aetius was ready to do whatever it took this time.

"Luga, it looks like we've won." Andrew slapped the drops of water off the chain mail, turned to me and said, "Let's go back, wait for the troops to be assembled and enter the city, this time, Marshal Aetius has one more credit." ”

I didn't speak, but watched as the hordes of Germanic mercenaries rushed into the city, and the shouts of Worms shook the sky.

"It's not that simple, Andrew." I stopped Andrew and said to him: "I privately think that since the Burgundians dare to send such elite soldiers out of the city to meet them, then they should have more hole cards in their hands, and now that the Germans have just defeated the Burgundians out of the city, it is now the time to be exhausted, and there may be unexpected mistakes in the desperate attack at this time." ”

Looking at the city of Worms again, the black torrent stopped under the city gates, as if it had encountered some impenetrable resistance. The trebuchets on the hill continued to bombard, leaving no respite for the Germans.

"Whoop!!

I heard a sound similar to that of a flood, but it came from the gates, and I saw a large amount of yellow liquid gushing out of the gates like a waterfall.

"It's the old way again." I shrugged at Andrew, and watched as the yellow boiling oil poured straight down, and the screams of the Germanic people at the gates could be heard very clearly from me.

These boiling oil scalded a Germanic mercenary in an instant, and then, a torch fell from the city gate, and with a "boom", all the boiling oil in that place was ignited, and the Germanic people who were poured down by the boiling oil were completely surrounded by flames, dozens of people struggled in the sea of fire, and the people outside did not dare to rescue them at all, but could only watch them die in pain.

The burning flame was not extinguished by the rain at all, but burned more and more because of the boiling oil on the ground.

"It's over, it's completely besieged inside, and they can't get out." The Germans outside slowly retreated, and the flames at the gate were like ordinary impassable walls, and instead of rushing out of the flames, soldiers wrapped in flames rushed out, and they had just taken a few steps out of the wall of fire and died.

Looking at the city wall again, I don't know where the Burgundian army came from has been all over every corner of the city wall at this time, the tired Germans are very unable to withstand the almost crowd-like tactics of the Burgundians, and the Germanic soldiers are constantly knocked down by the Burgundians and pushed down the wall, and the Burgundians, who have reoccupied the city wall, once again picked up their bows and arrows and aimed them at the Germans below.

The Germanic mercenaries were losing and retreating, almost at that moment, they wanted to retreat, but the more than a hundred cavalrymen who oversaw the battle were staring closely behind, and the cavalry spears in their hands were also pointing at them, these mercenaries were dumbfounded, perhaps they now finally understood that the five Oren coins in each of their pockets were not so easy to get. Now in front of them were the strong walls and a large number of archers, and in the back were their bosses, the overseer cavalry under Aetius, and they were in the middle, which was a very awkward position.

"Obviously, Aetius has failed." I looked back at Andrew, whose eyes widened as if this had changed more than he had anticipated.

"I really didn't expect that Marshal Aetius and his favorite Germanic mercenaries would not be able to conquer Worms." Andrew's tone was full of unbelief, probably in his opinion, Aetius, the famous imperial general, could not fail, of course, he may not have known that Aetius had been defeated by a general named Berniface.

Right now, Aetius was standing in front of the carriage, looking at the slowly retreating Germanic mercenaries, and he didn't say a word, just waved his hand back.

The herald behind him immediately understood and shouted to the front, "Stand back!" Back off! ”

The cavalry overseeing the battle turned around, and the Germanic mercenaries, who had been freed, seized the opportunity to flee back, leaving only corpses and the cheers and taunts of the Burgundians on the walls.

"It's incredible." Andrew stood there for a long time, looking at the embarrassed figure of the Germanic people as they fled. "I thought they were really the toughest fighters in the world," he said. To this day, Andrew still refused to believe that such a murderous mercenary would fail so casually.

"It's just a matter of command." I walked over and patted him on the shoulder, and said to him, "Go back quickly, the Germans are crippled, and Aetius will soon remember us." ”
