The soldiers defending the city cheered, watching the enemy troops drop their burning siege towers and retreat in disarray from the walls, leaving behind wreckage.
At this moment, both Greeks and Venetians were jubilantly celebrating another successful repulsion of the heretical attack.
But soon, the smiles vanished from their smoke-stained faces.
The enemy assault returned again, more ferocious than before.
The iron-clad siege tower slowly approached, towering six stories high, with firing ports on the top three floors. Even before coming close, firearms and arrows were already being shot from the ports towards the city walls.
One soldier manning a Greek Fire launcher was about to aim at the siege tower when an arrow struck him in the head.
The Kipchak soldiers beside Losa immediately retaliated, their precise archery skills allowing many arrows to pass through the firing ports, striking the enemies behind.
