Chapter Forty-Nine: Destruction and Decay
Now with the expansion of the Baron, there is no longer enough war horses in the territory, as long as this batch of war horses is successfully brought back to Musen City, he will also be regarded as a great contribution to the Baron.
In addition to his previous exploits in the Muto Domain, when the Baron succeeds in ascending to the viscount title, he will definitely be made a baron and become a nobleman who everyone admires.
Thinking of this, Jason couldn't help but get excited, and hurriedly urged his subordinates to quickly wrap up the wealth they had found, and then led the team towards the horse farm.
The shrubs, said to be shrubs, have the height of no less than trees, and the cavalry can't show their heads when they walk in them, plus the branches and leaves are numerous, and from the sky it looks like a huge green quilt spread on the ground.
Jason led fifty cavalry into the bush, because the bush was too dense and seriously affected the march of the war horses, Jason could only arrange for the cavalry soldiers to open the way in front and cut the dense branches and leaves.
The slow pace of the procession, combined with the humidity and heat of the summer, made Jason gradually irritable, and for some reason he always had an ominous premonition.
As the team continued to advance, Jason finally led the team out of the deep area of the bush and came to the edge with fewer bushes, but Jason did not know that Antonio had been waiting at the edge for a long time.
Outside, looking at the shrub branches that were constantly shaking in the dense forest ahead, and the shaking was gradually approaching this side, Antonio ordered: "Green Desolate Crossbow prepare!"
With Antonio's order, fifty cavalry came out of the team to the front, lined up in five rows of ten people, took down the inky blue desolate crossbow behind his back, put the crossbow arrows in the quiver into the arrow slot, pulled the bowstring, pulled the trigger with his fingers, and aimed the special crosshair forward, and the movements were uniform.
This set of movements, the soldiers practiced hundreds of times when they were in the Qinghuang Ling, and they can basically achieve no false hair within 100 meters, and although they can't do it outside 100 meters, the accuracy is not low.
Jason and his team hurried out of the forest, unaware that fifty cold arrows were waiting for them, and they were making an appointment with the Grim Reaper.
Jason took the lead in leading the team through the dense forest, but was startled by the formation ahead, and saw that less than a hundred meters in front of him, there were a hundred cavalry, and they stood there like that, without making a sound.
However, the strange weapons held by the cavalry in front and the iron sword in the hands of the cavalry in the rear reminded Jason, who was like a drunk who had been splashed with a basin of cold water, and shouted loudly: "Be careful!
It's a pity that it was too late, with Antonio's "Shoot!"
The crossbow arrows left the string, and the terrible sound of arrows breaking through the air came, and before the fifty cavalry led by Jason could react, the fifty arrows were like fifty black lightning bolts, and they quickly hit them.
The arrows shot into the flesh, splashing beautiful blood flowers, and for a while, the fifty cavalrymen fell off their horses one by one like petals knocked off by a torrential rain, and the screams were endless.
Fifty cavalrymen were killed, seventeen were wounded, and eight were wounded, and the wounded eight could no longer fight, and in a matter of seconds, half of Jason's strength was about to be reduced.
Just practice wearing chain mail, as a low-level knight, Jason also has an arrow stuck in his stomach, but there is no need to be strange at all, after all, the Qinghuang crossbow can shoot through the iron armor within 100 meters, and the strength is obvious.
"It's a bow and arrow!" Jason cried out in horror as he endured the sharp pain in his abdomen, although the weapon in this position looked strange, it could send out arrows similar to bows and arrows, and there was no doubt that it was a bow and arrow.
"Retreat, retreat into the jungle!" Jason shouted, now he wasn't going to find out where these guys came from, now what he wanted to do most was to get out of this place as soon as possible, even the horses he wanted were no longer important.
The other cavalry warriors were also terrified by the strange weapons in the hands of the enemies in front of them, which could shoot arrows similar to bows and arrows, and reap the lives of the warriors as the arrows flew.
The death of their comrades deepened their deep fears, and although they told them to go head-on, they no longer had the courage to face the strange cavalry who had been standing still and standing in order.
After Jason's order, the remaining cavalry began to ride their horses, frantically retreating towards the dense forest, no one wanted to die here for no reason, in the face of these terrible enemies, the cavalry now only wanted to escape.
Seeing that Jason in front of him wanted to retreat, how could Antonio agree, and then ordered.
"Charge!" Antonio's voice was as cold as ice.
After receiving the order, the fifty cavalry in the rear took the lead in raising their swords and rushed out, like a tiger pounced, there was no time to get on the second crossbow arrow, and the other fifty cavalry who had completed the shooting hung the Qinghuang crossbow on their horses, followed closely behind and rushed out with their swords, a complete set of actions flowed smoothly and cleanly, and all the hundred cavalry rushed out.
"Run!"
The thunderous sound of horses' hooves slammed into the chests of every cavalry who tried to escape, leaving them breathless, and now they only wanted to flee as far as possible.
It's a pity that the speed of the hundred-man cavalry rushed out too fast, only a few seconds later, like an arrow, it slammed into the rotten man in front of it, and the sharp iron sword, towards the scythe of death, slashed at the enemy's neck, and for a while blood was splashed, flesh and bone were separated, and the head was thrown high.
After only one charge, the screams came to an abrupt end, and all the twenty-five cavalry warriors led by Jason were cut off from their horses.
Jason was running away in the dense forest, and after hearing the screams stop, Jason knew that his team was over, and he was terrified and didn't dare to stay, so he could only hurry up and escape from the dense forest, but unfortunately Jason didn't know that he had crashed into Kant's ambush circle.
Jason, who was galloping on horseback, finally noticed Kant and the cavalry waiting there not far ahead, the dense bushes blocked the figure of Kant and others, Jason's face changed in shock, as soon as he saw the people in front, leather armor and iron sword, Jason recognized that these guys were in a group with the sneak attacker.
It was impossible to escape to the rear, and Jason could only prepare to run in the direction of the left and right that had not yet been blocked, but unfortunately Jason saw the cavalry that had already surrounded him on the left and right, and Kant had already completed the encirclement.
Jason is like a rat running away in a hurry, but he has been forced into a corner, Jason knows that he can't escape, these people will not let him go, he can only fight to the death.
Kant and the others did not attack, but only surrounded Jason in a circle and quietly waited for Antonio's arrival.
Kant and the others who were ambushed on the right should have played no role this time, but the enemy was too weak, and they died cleanly after a round of charge, while the one who escaped fled in a hurry and fled to Kant and their encirclement.
