Chapter 1416: City Fall
The knights on the city wall did not expect the sudden and unexpected attack. They were caught off guard and many of them were shot and killed, and the number of defenders suddenly decreased a lot.
Baron Yin Belin, who was in charge of defending the city walls, was so angry when he saw the heavy losses of the knights defending the city.
He knew that he had to kill the mercenaries using strange weapons, otherwise Jerusalem would fall.
"Archer! Shoot!"
He ignored his original plan and ordered his archers to aim at the players and start shooting.
But the range of their bows and arrows is only about 150 steps, but the players are standing 200 meters away, and the range of the bows and arrows cannot reach the players at all.
Apart from shooting and killing some shield-carrying infantrymen, it was of no use at all.
What Saladin lacked the least was infantry. When one fell , there was another group to take his place.
But the archers on the city walls were not so lucky.
Their bows and arrows can't reach the players, but the players can easily hit them with their guns.
Bang bang bang!
After a volley of gunfire, many archers were shot dead.
There was chaos on the city wall.
Faced with this situation, Baron Yin Belin panicked. He had never seen such a strange weapon before.
It actually possessed a range and power far beyond that of bows and arrows, causing heavy casualties to his city defending troops.
Although there are several crossbows on the city wall that can reach the enemy, this kind of heavy weapon is difficult to use and is specifically used to deal with siege towers, which are the real threat.
Bang bang bang.
The sound of musketry continued, and knights or archers were shot one after another, causing chaos on the top of the city.
At this moment, the siege tower was finally pushed near the city wall.
A huge suspension bridge crashed onto the top of the city wall. A group of elite soldiers holding shields rushed out of the siege tower and rushed towards the top of the city wall along the suspension bridge.
"Stop them!"
Yin Beilin raised his sword and shouted loudly, then he rushed forward with his sword raised.
With two swipes of the sword, Yin Beilin knocked down the two soldiers who rushed up.
Several knights also rushed over with swords raised, but due to the narrowness of the suspension bridge, they were blocked directly.
Han Yu kept pulling the trigger at the foot of the city, harvesting the defenders on the city wall.
He is somewhat different from ordinary players. As a game anchor, he feels that although the copy does not clearly state the difference between killing soldiers and knights, he always feels that killing different targets will definitely bring greater benefits than killing ordinary targets.
Therefore, Han Yu always subconsciously looks for those unique targets and then kills them.
Then, he saw Baron Yin Belin driving in front of the suspension bridge.
"You are wearing a burqa and a family crest. You look like a noble. That must be you."
Han Yu pointed the gun at Baron Yin Beilin and pulled the trigger.
Bang!
With a gunshot, Baron Yin Belin's chain mail was pierced and a lead bullet shot into his body.
Yin Beilin's body paused.
The soldier who was fighting hard opposite him found an opportunity, raised his shield and rushed forward, knocking Yin Belin away and rushing to the top of the city wall.
The soldiers behind him also rushed forward.
A group of people tried their best to push away the knights blocking the drawbridge and seized a small landing site.
Seeing this, the other soldiers on the siege tower rushed up one after another to expand the landing site.
Seeing this, the surrounding knights rushed over and tried to drive these soldiers back.
If these soldiers were allowed to expand the landing area, the city wall would be lost and the entire city would fall.
"These people are the key. We must not let you block the gap."
Seeing these soldiers so brave, Han Yu also became excited. He kept aiming at the knights who tried to rush to the rescue and killed them one by one as they rushed to the gap.
Even if we cannot kill them, we can prevent them from killing us in time.
With the help of Han Yu, most of the knights were eliminated halfway, and the number of knights going to reinforce was greatly reduced. The soldiers expanded the landing area on the top of the city, and subsequent soldiers continued to climb to the top of the city.
They even rushed to the top of the city wall, threw down the Crusader flag and replaced it with the Crescent and Star flag.
Seeing the Star-Crescent Flag hung on the top of the city wall, the soldiers below became even more excited and rushed up the siege tower one after another.
As more and more soldiers mounted the city walls, the balance of the war began to tilt. The knights were killed and defeated, and completely lost control of the city walls. They could only retreat continuously and form a shield wall under the city walls to block the attack.
"You're still resisting?"
Han Yu followed the soldiers and rushed to the top of the city wall. Seeing the knights holding large shields to block the attack, Han Yu raised the musket in his hand and pulled the trigger.
Bang!
A muffled sound.
A knight fell to the ground.
Bang bang bang!
The sound of gunfire cleared the way for the soldiers, and Saladin's infantry rushed into the city of Jerusalem.
The gate was opened, and a large number of soldiers rushed in. The thousand-year-old holy city of Jerusalem was declared to have been conquered.
"The pre-task is complete. Now it's time to go find the golden scepter."
Han Yu loaded a bullet, looked around, and ran towards the tallest cathedral.
He never forgot that his first goal was to seize the golden scepter, not to capture Jerusalem.
Capturing this place can only prevent Saladin from killing them, but the main mission still needs to be completed by themselves.
He mixed in with the soldiers and rushed towards the Hagia Sophia.
There were refugees and scattered knights everywhere along the way. Saladin's soldiers took up their weapons and fought with the knights.
Han Yu was too lazy to care about them at this time. As long as they didn't block his way, he was too lazy to shoot.
After a fierce charge, Han Yu and a team of soldiers actually rushed directly to the door of Hagia Sophia.
Just as they were about to rush in, the door of the church was suddenly pushed open. A team of knights were running out escorting a box, and the two teams collided head-on.
Seeing the aggressive soldiers, the knights wanted to close the gate immediately and leave in another direction.
However, Han Yu was quick and fired a shot, knocking down a knight carrying a box.
A corner of the box hit the ground with a dull thud.
Just from the sound, Han Yu could tell that the box was definitely not light and that what was hit was definitely something good.
Those soldiers also had sharp eyes.
They went out to fight not only for their beliefs, but also to improve their lives.
Anything that can be escorted by several knights must be something very valuable.
The soldiers looked at each other and rushed towards the knights in a fan formation.
These knights also drew the long swords at their waists and started fighting with the soldiers.
These people were extremely brutal, and three or four of them fell to the ground in an instant.
A knight actually cut a soldier in half with one sword, and then rushed towards Han Yu with the sword raised upside down.
"Damned pagans, die!"
