Chapter 94 Street Fighting (Part 1)

"Spear! Who still has a spear?"

I shouted to the soldiers behind me, asking them for the spear. Yes, this was the bold idea in my mind. As the saying goes: Shoot the horse first when shooting a man, and capture the leader first when capturing a thief! To destroy the fighting spirit of the Burgundians, we must kill their officers.

Seeing the soldiers behind him looking at each other in bewilderment, they pretended to search behind themselves. Can you find it? I just took it all away from the siege tower.

"Corpse! Corpse!"

I slapped my head, thinking that maybe there was still a usable dart stuck in the Burgundian's body. I looked around and found that the scene was so chaotic, with so many people and feet, that even the bow and arrow on the ground were stepped on and broken into several pieces.

I pushed aside the legs in front of me and searched everywhere. Finally, my efforts paid off. I found a bloody dart under the body of a Burgundian. I wiped the blood off it with my sleeve and held it in my hand. This was my only chance. If I succeeded, I would change the situation of the battle and maybe I would get the first prize.

Just thinking about this makes me excited. I quickly told myself that now is not the time to be happy because the guy who is about to die in my hands is still alive and well right under my nose!

I stroked my chest, took a long breath, and tried to relax myself, staring at the Burgundian commander who was very conspicuous in the crowd. He obviously didn't notice me, but focused all his attention on the Romans who kept rushing in from the gap in the city wall.

The soldiers behind me fell silent. They understood what I meant and knew that I only had this one chance, so they all held their breath. I set up the javelin, slightly closed my eyes, and silently said in my heart: It will work, it will work!

A long time passed, and I really felt that time had stopped at this moment. I suddenly opened my eyes, leaned back, and gathered my strength. After I opened my eyes, I felt that the Burgundy officer was shining like a sign among the crowd.

"middle!"

I roared, exerted force with my right hand, and threw the javelin in my hand violently. The blood on the tail feathers behind the javelin was shaken off by the force at that moment, and a blood-red arc was drawn in the air. That was the trajectory of the javelin, passing over the heads of a large number of Burgundians. They did not notice the javelin that was about to take away their commander until the blood on the javelin dripped on their heads, like a weak and insignificant blow, which was not noticed by anyone.

"when!"

“Hit!”

The soldiers cheered loudly when they heard the sound. I was about to smile, but my smile froze on my face as I saw the Burgundy commander fall down and then stand up again! "Huh? What happened?"

Before I could open my mouth, the soldier behind me asked in advance. I saw the Burgundian commander slowly stood up in the Burgundian army formation. He looked like nothing was wrong.

"Is this guy trying to show off like Liu Bang?"

I had a glimmer of hope in my heart. This spear is different from the bow and arrow. Just pulling it out can kill that son of a bitch! Hey, wait, what is that Burgundy officer holding in his hand? I couldn't believe my eyes. The Burgundy officer bent down and picked up a spear from the ground. It was the one I just threw. He held the spear in his hand, looked it up and down, and when he looked up, he saw me. His eyes were wide open, and his face was full of disbelief.

"Damn it, that dart bounced off his head!"

I cursed in my heart and glared at the Burgundian officer who was also looking up at me at the foot of the city wall.

"Where's the spear? Any more spears? Find them!" I shouted to the soldiers behind me. They quickly searched the bodies under them, trying to find another spear.

The actions of our large group were immediately noticed by the Burgundian officer who noticed us. He shouted to his followers and hid behind his followers' shields. His soldiers escorted him and slowly retreated.

"He ran away, damn it, he ran away!"

I stood on the broken city wall and stomped my feet. Amid the shouting and screaming, I heard someone calling my name from behind.

"Luka! Luka!"

I quickly turned around and saw Andrew standing on the city wall not far away, waving at me and shouting to me: "Hurry, Guy is asking us to get off the city wall!" As he spoke, he pointed to the bottom of the city wall behind him, where I saw a group of Roman soldiers with the golden twin military emblems in the middle, cutting all the way to the scattered Burgundy soldiers who were rushing towards the gap. It seemed that Guy was more anxious than anyone else.

"Let's go down!"

I was unwilling to give up. Looking at the shadow of the shield going away in the distance, I let out a long sigh. That's right, the duck that was in hand flew away. No one would be happy.

Following the centurions of Andrew's team, we waded through the corpses all the way, and continued to move forward until we came to the arrow tower full of corpses. The standard Roman-style city wall, the Burgundians did not make any changes when they occupied it. After walking through the narrow stairs that could only accommodate one person, it took me a few minutes to set foot on the land of Worms for the first time.

When I stepped onto the equally muddy streets of Worms, I didn't even have time to shake off the dirt on my feet.

"Alright! Gather, assemble!"

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Chief Centurion Guy raised his iron sword above his head and swung it back and forth in the air. Andrew, I and the other two centurions gathered the remaining soldiers.

"Sir!"

The trumpeter Brice ran over to my side and greeted me softly. I nodded in return and whispered, "How many of us are left?"

"Not many. Just now when we were pushing the siege tower, the Burgundians' arrows shot down more than 20 of us. Four or five died in the attack on the city wall. None of them were seriously injured. Those with minor injuries are still capable of fighting. In short, the size of our century-man team has not been destroyed."

"That's good!" I nodded, weighed the iron sword in my hand, and waited quietly for the next instruction from Chief Centurion Guy.

"Alright, boys!"

Chief Centurion Guy held the flag high in his hand, with a happy smile on his face, pointing at the Eighth Legion that was still fighting selflessly. He said to us: "The Eighth Legion is still trying desperately to squeeze in. Look, they are eager to get the coveted Eagle Flag, but we are in, so, Eagle Flag!" Guy waved his sword and pointed to the high ground in Worms City, shouting to us: "Take it, and we will get the Eagle Flag! Let those idiots of the Eighth Legion roll on their beds in regret! Victory belongs to us!"

"Hoo-ha! Hoo-ha! Hoo-ha!"

The two centurions under his command seemed to be full of fighting spirit, but the soldiers behind Andrew and I had some complaints because they had fought against the people of the Eighth Legion before.

"Okay!" Guy walked into a street carrying the military flag and said to us without looking back: "Don't worry about those Burgundians, we are unstoppable!"

I'm really upset today. She clearly agreed to make a cover for me, but she was afraid that I would cheat her out of money, so she took away five dollars from me. Should I just leave her in the wind?
