Chapter 480: A Teammate Is Injured
I really admire the good spirit of the Marquis Louis, who is so old and strong, and wonder how he can only survive with a daughter? They all talked darkly, and they were still bargaining for ten gold coins and an inch of land. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info Rudolph is tired and lets everyone else help shout.
Louis didn't know if someone reminded him or if he had a thread in his head, and suddenly asked, "Viscount Gordon, are you still there?" ”
Gordon hugged the snow fox, turned his head and shouted: "Yes, still calculating, you want to get too high a price, do you want me to starve to death?" ”
Hearing Gordon's voice, Louie was a little relieved, thinking that they were still trapped there, so he continued to bargain.
It was about to get dark, Cheng Qianxun looked up at the sky, and wanted to struggle down, but Gordon still hugged her.
Gordon hugged her to the side and said to the others, "I'm going to pee, you guys stay and drag this old guy." ”
Gordon carried her a little farther away, and when it was darker, she hooked her arms around Gordon's neck to save some weight.
But Gordon didn't feel heavy, hugged her and smiled. Then he gently put her on the ground, and when he saw that she was cold, he quickly took off his cloak and put it on her body. He took a piece of the animal skin from his body, threw it on the ground, and let her step on it.
Rudolph walked over: "It's almost time. ”
It was already dark, and the figures were blurry. Gordon thought for a moment, "Let that old guy come down on his own." ”
Suddenly, the other party was silent. Louis was of course in a hurry, and even shouted several times, but no one answered, so he sent someone to investigate. When I went back, I naturally said that there was no one in the woods opposite.
The person probably fled, and wasted so much effort, but the person still fled, and the escape was inexplicable. But there's a lot of stuff down there. Dead horse meat is also meat, and although the horse meat is a little thicker, it can satisfy hunger when supplies are scarce, and there are a few live horses that have not been shot.
There are also corpses, and if you want to get the corpses back, you have to pay a ransom, which is worth a little money. As long as you go past the horse and set up the carriage and throw the corpse up, you may be able to make some money.
Louie, who was bankrupt and destitute, really led the people over and began to clean up the battlefield.
The sky was getting darker and darker, and the swords hanging from the corpses were worth a few dollars, and some people carried a few copper coins with them. The thirty or forty men threw their bows and arrows behind their backs and began to scramble. Unbeknownst to them, someone was quietly climbing down from a tree and out of a digging pit.
In order to hide themselves, they dug pits in the snowy ground, used branches as covers, and shoveled snow on top of them, so that it was difficult to spot.
Gordon jerked up his sword and shouted, "Kill! The remaining seven unwounded knights followed him and rushed at the undefended enemy with their swords, slashing and slashing along the way.
Cheng Qianxun and the other wounded knights hid in the pit, she was wearing Gordon's cape, poking her head out to observe... Louis was naturally caught off guard, and the archers didn't even have time to take out their bows, so they had to draw their swords to resist, some with daggers, and some even drew an arrow from the back of the quiver as a weapon of resistance.
They are also poor enough, who told their masters to use up all their money, and even shooters who could not afford to use self-defense swords were recruited.
But the other side was still outnumbered, and there were still a dozen or so archers who had fled into the forest, using the trees as cover to draw their bows, and from time to time they released cold arrows.
Cheng Qianxun became anxious, because when the people below were almost killed, those archers would shoot arrows more unscrupulously. And the knights scattered outside had already notified people to shout, but they were not seen answering.
Can't wait! Cheng Qianxun jumped out barefoot, picked up a sword scattered on the ground, and participated in the battle.
Rudolph and Gordon must not die, and if they do, she will fail. Anyway, by dawn tomorrow, no matter how serious the injuries are, they will heal, and they will save the lives of the two of them first. With this belief, she slashed and killed as if she didn't want to die, and the two swords on her body also left a wound on the other party's body.
As soon as they saw that even the women had participated in the battle, the wounded knights crawled out of the pit, and they were not able to get out of the line of fire with minor injuries, and they fought! The seriously wounded took down the quiver of the dead archer on the ground and fought back against the archers hidden in the woods opposite.
A real war is not a tragic and glorious thing, from time to time there are arrows whizzing by, red-eyed enemies on the opposite side, bloody corpses lying on the ground, terrible screams, blood splattered after every piercing into a person's body... All the terrifying images are mixed together, and if it is the first time you see someone, you may be able to tremble in both feet, let alone swing a sword, and you will not be able to move if you want to escape.
Cheng Qianxun was stabbed three times, but she also killed two, she gasped, and the breath she exhaled formed a white mist in the cold air.
"Where's the damn reinforcements?" A knight finally cursed: "Aren't they coming?" ”
Cheng Qianxun took the belt on a corpse, lifted the hem of his robe, exposed a thigh, gritted his teeth, tied the strip of cloth fiercely on the bloody thigh, looked up, and happened to see Rudolph.
After Rudolph cut down one, he swept his gaze at the Marquis Louis, and killed it all the way with his sword.
The thief captured the king first, she struggled to her feet, grabbed the sword stuck in the ground, and aimed directly at Louie! She finally slashed to Rudolph's side and helped push his sword out as much as she could.
Rudolph smiled with satisfaction, and divided his energy to get closer to the target as quickly as possible.
Louis is a fat man, he has such a big beard, like a dwarf, but not at all dwarven fierce. Holding the sword in both hands, trembling in front of him, it was like holding a fire stick, and he could not help the people he hired at all. If it weren't for the crowd around him, about seven or eight of his protectors, they would have been slaughtered long ago.
"You guys!" Rudolph finally arrived, his eyes were wide open, his sword pointed at the remaining people who were protecting Louis, and his tone was still gloomy and calm: "How much money did he give you, see the situation and get out immediately, otherwise you won't have money to spend." ”
Nearly half of the people hesitated, and suddenly heard the sound of killing behind them, and those scattered knights finally arrived, and now they immediately turned around and fled with their swords!
Louis also knew that the tide was turning, so he hurriedly fled with him, and fled to the place where the horse was tied next to him, and before he could reach it, he left two more corpses behind. At this time, he didn't even dare to ask for horses, so he threw down the corpses and equipment all over the ground and fled directly, while the archers hiding in the woods also shot arrows backwards from time to time to block the other party.
Louis must be killed, otherwise he does not know where to get the money, or he lobbied other nobles to join forces with him and call again, killing him at the most peaceful, and Rudolph and his men chased after him.
"Chase, kill this old guy, whether you live or die, you will be rewarded with five gold coins!" Gordon shouted excitedly as he raised his sword, only to hear a bowstring vibrating, and Gordon's figure shook.
Cheng Qianxun, who was also about to catch up, immediately turned his head to look, and was stunned for a moment, and an arrow shot into the middle of Gordon's chest.
Immediately turned around, and when he limped to Gordon's side, Gordon had already slowly fallen down. She helped Gordon, but she couldn't help him at all, and squatted down with him.
Most of the knights went after Louie, leaving behind three or four men, who spread animal skins on the ground, carefully moved Gordon up, and made a bonfire beside him.
Someone wanted to pull out the arrow in Gordon's chest, but Cheng Qianxun immediately reached out to stop it and looked at him with a sharp gaze.
The senior knight next to him immediately scolded: "Don't pull it out!" ”
Such an injury was a death at that time. Only keep it, after a few days, wait for the wound to coagulate, as long as it does not die from the wound infection, and then pull it out, maybe there is still a chance to live.
"Hmm~" Gordon, who felt a pain in the wound, twitched all over.
Cheng Qianxun hurriedly grabbed his hand, and after he got through this for a while, he picked up the cloth and gently wiped his sweaty forehead.
It was not until the middle of the night that Rudolph returned with his people. Some told Rudolph that his master was wounded; Others asked Louis if he had escaped. But Cheng Qianxun didn't look back at all, and kept squatting beside Gordon and taking care of Gordon. She knew that with Louie's ability, if everyone didn't have horses, they couldn't get rid of Rudolph at all.
Rudolph was carrying a cloth bag, the liquid underneath which had frozen. He walked over quickly, squatted beside Gordon, panted slightly, looked at the arrow in Gordon's chest, and frowned slightly: "Yes, don't pull it out." ”
Then he opened the package, and inside was a hideous-looking human head, with a full white beard and eyes still staring, revealing the fear of the moment.
Gordon smiled with satisfaction, but immediately coughed slightly as soon as he was happy. Cheng Qianxun hurriedly picked up the wooden bowl filled with water, gave him a little drink, moistened his throat, and the bowl was boiling snow water and let it warm.
Rudolph stood up, raised his head aloft, and showed a week to everyone. There were cheers all around, and Louis was finally dead, and it was time to stop.
Gordon put it in a carriage overnight and transported it back to the castle, and Cheng Qianxun didn't dare to leave, so he sat next to him. After getting out of the carriage, he also limped close to him.
Gordon was carefully placed on his bed, and Rudolph stood beside it, carefully picking at the layers of winter coat on his chest with his knife.
Cheng Qianxun sat on the other side of the bed, watching Gordon's wound slowly reveal itself. The arrow was plunged so deep that it was almost halfway into the stomach.
"I can't pull it out." Rudolph once again gave bad news: "The bleeding can't be stopped, it's over, just wait a few days to see, I'll help you wipe it with wine first, it may hurt, bear with it." ”
If the wound is a little shallower, Rudolph will do the trick, but the arrow has already reached the stomach, then there is no way. After a few days, it will still work, then it will not be pulled out for the rest of its life, and it will simply be like this.
Rudolph helped Gordon's wound rub the wine, and the slightest pain made Gordon grab Cheng Qianxun's hand sitting next to him, but immediately let go again, tightly tugging on the mattress covered under him.
Cheng Qianxun hurriedly picked up the wet cloth and wiped the cold sweat that broke out again from Gordon. Rubbing wine is to prevent infection, and in the era when there were no antibiotics, once infected, it was a foot in a coffin. (To be continued.) )
