Chapter Eighty-Three: The Crossbow Bolt of the Slaughter
The rumbling sound of horses' hooves exploded in his ears, and the convoy of civilians and wealthy merchants in the city desperately squeezed towards the periphery, for fear of colliding with these cavalry, and looked at these cavalrymen approaching him with a look of trepidation.
The Qinghuang cavalry who entered Musen City, under the order of Antonio, divided into two routes, with Antonio himself leading one, two, or two squadrons to the city wall from the east city gate, and three or four squadrons from the west city gate to the city wall, all armed with spears and crossbows that had been wound,... At the same time, they closed their way towards the south gate of the fighting.
The cavalry of the Green Wilderness dressed in black armor, after going up to the city wall, were like two streams of water flowing on the city wall, quickly converging towards the south gate without making a sound.
At this time, on the southern city wall, the sound of fighting has gradually subsided, the battle between the two sides has ended, under the siege of the two low-level knights of Baron Err and Brie, Knight Tim was finally beheaded by Baron Er, lying on the city wall full of corpses, as for the guards of Musen City on the city wall, they were all dead under the siege of the warriors of the horse leader.
However, after this battle, there were less than 200 horse-raising warriors left, and more than half of the losses could only be regarded as a tragic victory.
"Who?"
Baron Er, who was just about to rest for a while, suddenly found the approaching Qinghuang cavalry and shouted loudly.
The discovered cavalry ignored Baron Er'er's questioning, and continued to lean over without saying a word, and after discovering that something was wrong, the horse-raising warriors who were resting quickly got up from the ground, weakly holding the long sword in their hands, and looked vigilantly at the strange soldiers who were gradually approaching.
Baron Err also noticed that something was wrong, the black-armored warriors on both sides were holding unknown strange weapons, and they had already surrounded their side, and they were just about to carefully inquire about the origin of these people, when they heard a voice from the other side.
"Shoot!Release!" Antonio didn't pay attention to Baron Er, after all, Lord Baron had already ordered him to be exterminated, so no matter how much he said, Baron Erle and these warriors would die here today.
Before Baron Err could react, there was a sound of breaking the air, and the sharp crossbow arrows pierced the exhausted horse warriors, so close to the distance, not to mention the leather armor, even the iron armor on Baron Er's body would be shot through.
"Ahh
"Help......
The wail sounded at the head of the city, quickly spreading to the city below, and the civilians hiding at home trembled all over their bodies and felt a chill in their backs after hearing this terrible sound.
Under the attack from both sides, three hundred arrows were shot by the Qinghuang cavalry at the horse raising soldiers, completely covering the area, after a round of blows, there were very few horse raising soldiers who could still stand at the head of the city intact, most of them had been killed by crossbow arrows, and some were shot by arrows, and they were lying on the ground wailing.
Baron Err and Brie were the key objects of care for the warriors, and at least ten crossbow arrows were shot at the two, and the knights of Brie were shot directly into the throat by a crossbow arrow because they couldn't dodge, and three arrows were pierced into their bodies, and there was no possibility of survival, and they fell directly.
Baron Er, who was lucky, was hit by an arrow in his right hand and chest, and lost most of his combat effectiveness.
"Who the hell are you?" Baron Err snapped at the crown, glaring at the strange forces who had really slaughtered his men, dressed in black armor and holding strange bows and crossbows.
In a short time, the surviving horse warriors were solved by the Qinghuang cavalry one by one, and the wounded who were lying on the ground and not yet dead were also mended by the cavalry one by one.
"Who the hell are you, where are you from?" asked Baron Er, holding back his pain.
"We belong to the Knights of the Blue Wilderness, let's get on the road!" Antonio said indifferently to Baron Er.
"What?...... Baron Er's heart was startled, and he was about to say something.
I saw a cold light flash on Baron Er's neck, Baron Er's head instantly fell to the ground, his eyes were round, his big eyes were full of surprise, blood exploded, and Antonio's original black beard turned bloody.
It turned out that Antonio had already drawn his sword and directly cut off the head of Baron Er, who was still trying to say something.
With a flick of the sword, the blood droplets on it were thrown out, and Antonio put the sword into the sheath and ordered the cavalry next to him: "Clean up the battlefield!"
After receiving Antonio's order, the four hundred cavalry began to pick up the useful things on the corpses and collect them in different categories, and the corpses were piled up outside the city, ready to be buried collectively after the battlefield was cleaned.
Antonio, who was waiting on the wall, waited for Tony, who came to Antonio's side and saluted, "Sir! I came to ask the rich merchants at the South Gate what to do?"
"Drive them back to the city, and say that now that Musen City is occupied by my Qinghuang Territory, there is no more danger for them to reassure. As for those who insist on going out of the city, send them on their way!" Antonio's eyes flashed coldly, and Antonio would not be merciful to the stubborn guy.
Now that the situation in the Musen Territory has stabilized, if these rich merchants are allowed to go, they will definitely drive the civilians in the city, which is very likely to cause chaos in the Musen City, and the best way at the moment is to imprison them all in the city, of course, if someone insists on leaving, Antonio doesn't mind killing chickens and monkeys.
"Yes!" Tony did not hesitate after receiving the signal from the regiment leader, and hurried back.
At the South City Gate, Tony rushed back a few minutes later.
"Everyone, listen to me, now that Musen City has been occupied by my Qinghuang Territory, there is no danger, everyone can go home with confidence. Tony shouted at the crowd.
The civilians, who were already intimidated by the might of the Blue Wilderness Cavalry, did not dare to be too presumptuous after hearing Tony's words, so they honestly scattered in all directions, no longer congested near the city gate.
As for the rich merchants of the horse team, they were very hesitant at first, but after the rich merchant Bazel was the first to retreat into the city, the others also retreated.
Even if there are some wealthy businessmen who are not angry, after seeing the mighty Qinghuang cavalry with sharp spears in their hands, and comparing them with the guards and mercenaries who are now shrinking their heads and pretending to be turtles, they can only reluctantly return, not daring to have the slightest opinion.
After Antonio conquered the city of Musen and the horse collar, the entire Musen Collar no longer had the power to stop Allen from ascending to the viscount title.
Qinghuang Town.
Soon after Antonio took possession of Musen City, Alan received information from Andy, telling Alan that both the Horse Collar and Musen City had been taken, and the last obstacle had been removed, and the most important thing for Alan at the moment was to integrate the entire Musen Territory.
