Chapter 126: Rookies peck at each other
With a fierce battle imminent, Normer tilted his head and quietly asked Chenxi, "What did you just say to Captain Kevin, why did he suddenly become so passionate?"
Dawn leaned into her brother's ear and replied softly, "I told him to do his best to deal with the thieves who came up." Marquise Ryder, leave it to us to deal with it, so that he doesn't have to pay attention to it. ”
"Oh, that's right. Normer knew that the girl had always had the most ideas, but it was not easy to find a satisfactory solution in such a short time, at least he himself did not have the slightest clue, and he was deeply admired, and he was also very curious for a while, so he asked casually: "What good way have you found?"
"It's very simple!" Chenxi said lightly: "Don't pay attention to that girl at all! At the moment of the war, cleaning up the thieves in front of you is the key, where is the idle time to care about her? The so-called rescue her, just follow the situation according to the battle situation." If she can save it, she will try to save it, and if she can't save it, she is unlucky, who will guarantee her that she can't do it? You see, just her cowardice, dying in the hands of the arrogant mother-in-law on the other side is the best result. ”
Normer's head grew when he heard this, and he hurriedly said: "Then aren't you lying! In case the Marquise really has three longs and two shorts, how can Head Kevin explain to his employer, how can we explain to him?"
"I don't have to explain it at all. ”
Chenxi's eyes widened, looking at Normer very innocently, she knew that her brother's old mistake of being too loyal had been committed again, so she had to patiently explain: "There are priorities, right? Compared with the life and death of that girl, and the small face, being killed by the thieves rushing up in front of you is the biggest problem, right? In that case, why not solve the biggest problem first, and put the secondary ones later?"
"Look, Captain Kevin did what I suggested, and the arrogant lady on the other side didn't kill the Marquise, and she was reluctant to cut off even one of her ears. This proves that I'm right, in the eyes of the enemy, we're the big problems that need to be solved first, right?
Dawn finished his conclusion, and finally added: "As long as you defeat the enemy in front of you, and catch a few more prisoners by the way, maybe you will have a chance to rescue the Marquise." The higher and more important the status of the thief we have captured in the regiment, the more likely it is that we will exchange that girl back. The so-called thing of being stripped naked and having no face to see people is a trivial matter. Look at me then!"
In order to show that she was confident, the girl also deliberately raised a palm, shook a fist and showed it to Normer.
Under a series of "right, right?" and a series of interrogative words alternately bombarded with "right, right?" Normer was stunned for a moment, Chenxi spoke too fast, and there were several meanings in his words, so that his thinking couldn't keep up, and he felt that what the girl said seemed to make sense, but subconsciously always felt that something was wrong, so the young man tried to confirm it again and asked, "Really?"
"Really!"
The girl was extremely determined, and showed a bright smile to her brother, her white teeth were particularly bright in the bright sunshine, she blinked her beautiful big eyes, and asked with a sincere face: "When did I lie to you?"
It's a real hammer!
Looking at the familiar smile in front of him, saying this familiar line, Normer suddenly had an urge to burst into tears, from childhood to adulthood, whenever Chenxi showed such an expression, emphasizing that she really didn't fool herself, it just means that she was fooling just now, and it was a big fool.
When it comes to being fooled by the dawn, Normer thinks that no one has the right to speak, to put it bluntly, the most deceived in this life, except for the eternal great glory and correct mother, is the little girl of the dawn.
Normo hesitated, not knowing whether to take the opportunity to tell her sister the truth: Brother, the longest road I have traveled in my life is the routine you gave me, Sister Xi'er!
"Archer!"
Knowing the tragic fate that the truth might bring, the attack from the thieves interrupted Solmer's reverie, and the first two rows of attackers with daggers and shields had not yet formally engaged the mercenaries, and the archers from the rear team had already taken the lead in attacking.
As soon as the archers were in range, the deputy commander of the bandit named Parsons gave the order.
This person is well-proportioned, wearing an iron helmet decorated with red tassels, handsome, and the traditional image of a rough and hideous thief in the imagination of ordinary people, a pair of blue eyes are deeply sunken in the eye sockets, between the expectations, presenting a melancholy and sensitive poet temperament, people can't help but want to get closer to him, close, if the deep resentful woman meets him, it will easily sink into his handsome and charming appearance, and the gentle and affectionate prodigal son.
Only those who really know him know that under the cover of his extremely masculine appearance, there is such a filthy heart, a typical scum who lifts his pants and turns his face and does not recognize people, and he will not grow a single inch when he is buried in the soil.
However, he is also very skilled, not only with superb archery skills, first-class command and adaptability, but also unexpectedly strong hand-to-hand combat ability, so Medina is very relieved to hand over all the archers to him.
As soon as the penetrating order was given, as many as eight rows of archers raised their longbows in unison and opened their bows.
"Shoot!"
As Parsons gave the order, the four rows of archers in front of them released their bowstrings together, and a low "buzzing" echo resounded throughout the valley, accompanied by the sound of sharp weapons breaking through the air, dozens of feathered arrows slashed through the sky and headed straight for the heads of the mercenaries.
"Shoot!"
The work of the front and rear feet, from the side of the valley mouth, also came the order to release the arrows.
Two waves of arrows rained down on the line of defense established by the mercenaries in the middle.
Fortunately, there is still a little distance between the two sides at the moment, otherwise, if the range of the thieves' bow and arrow is enough to cover the entire mercenary group, it will be a big trouble, and anyone will be attacked by arrows at the same time in front of and behind them, and no one can stand it, and they must become porcupines.
"Holy!"
Kevin squatted down slightly on his knees, his body shrunk as much as he could, and raised his knight's shield to protect the front of him and the top of his head.
A group of thieves, equipped with so many archers, is really a faction that blocks roads and robberies in broad daylight, and does not take the court seriously at all. Aren't you afraid that people will know that they will send a regular army to completely strangle it?
"!"
The mercenaries and guards scolded their mothers, the high shields with shields, and the ones without shields lifted the broken carriage boards, roof covers and other things that could be used to cover the body, and they really couldn't find the ones who took advantage of them, so they just lay down and hid under the carriage.
"Shoot again!"
Parsons shouted again.
The four rows of archers in the back also completed the task of shooting, and dozens of feathered arrows poured into the mercenary convoy, pressing everyone like quails, curling their necks and shoulders, very passive.
"Shoot!"
"Shoot again!"
"Shoot!"
"Shoot again!"
The mercenaries were speechless, and not long ago they shot the attackers bitterly, but the feng shui took turns, and now it was the turn of the mercenary group to feel the taste of the enemy's superior long-range attack methods.
After three waves of arrows were fired, the forward of the thieves had advanced to less than ten meters from the convoy's defense, and the melee battle was about to begin.
However, under the fierce large-scale feather arrow attack of the thieves, the results were quite pitiful, except for a few mercenaries and guards who were almost unlucky to be shot, almost no substantial damage was achieved, and the key thing was that not even one of them hit the vital point.
"That's it. ”
Enduring the pain in his body, Aaron gave the order exhausted.
He was now sitting in the carriage of a young master in the Marquis de Ryder's Palace, leaning on the pillow, leaning sideways close to the window, the thick wall of the carriage was enough to protect him from the bow and arrows, so he looked out from the window and commanded his archers.
After the priest's treatment, he was no longer in danger of life, but after being seriously injured, his combat strength was lost, and he was not even as good as a first-class soldier, but fortunately, his eyesight and experience would not disappear or be reduced due to physical injury, so it was suitable to hide in a safe area and serve as a shooting commander.
Carefully observing the approaching group of thieves, Aaron had been constantly correcting the reference data such as the target and distance he had chosen to shoot, and he felt that he was completely sure before he ordered to attack.
Great, it's finally our turn to get our hands dirty.
Hearing the deputy commander speak, the crossbowmen surrounding his carriage were all in good spirits.
"Aim, shoot!"
A stout mercenary conveyed the order for the deputy commander of the mercenary, he held a shield in one hand and a short sword in the other, guarding the door of the carriage, with a fierce expression, and his strength was about the second-level soldier, obviously the mercenary warrior who was sent to Aaron's side to protect him, and at this time it happened to be able to serve as a herald for the weakened Aaron, otherwise, just by Alun's own shouting, I am afraid that it would not be transmitted to both sides of the entire position.
"Boom", "Boom", "Boom", "Boom", from the carriage guard, inside the carriage and behind the fallen horses, a continuous series of more than a dozen crossbow arrows shot out, and the shooters of the mercenary group used a large number of physical objects as cover to shoot at the intended target.
"Ahh
"Fuck me!"
"Oops!"
The chaotic screams filled all the arms of the thief group, the sword and shield men who covered their eyes, and the pikemen who were shot in the chest, fell down one by one, especially the longbowmen who lacked shield protection, and became the hardest hit area of the blow, three of them were hit by crossbow arrows in the chest and abdomen, and the thieves were quite heavy when comparing the number of casualties.
Aaron knew very well that after the tragic hand-to-hand combat, the number of remaining archers on the side of the mercenary group was small, and the arm strength was far inferior to the new force on the opposite side, and it was extremely unwise to compete with the thieves for bow power, so he simply ordered the crossbowmen who still had the ability to shoot to choose the crossbow machine to shoot, and the shooting point was selected on the carriage of the convoy defense line, on the one hand, it was easier to occupy a certain height, and it was easier to aim and shoot condescendingly, on the other hand, concentrated shooting, often two people attacked a target at the same time, plus the thieves approached and then preempted, the short-range power of the crossbow machine was fully utilized, the hit rate and lethality were quite high, and almost every crossbow arrow was successful。
However, the mercenary group didn't have time to cheer, and less than a second after Aaron gave the order to shoot, Parsons gave the corresponding order.
"Volley. ”
He shouted coldly.
Eight rows of archers raised their bows and threw at the same time, except for the archers who were shot and fell to the ground, so many archers threw together enough to envelop all the mercenaries on their side of the border line within the striking range.
Faced with the feathered arrows that slashed their heads and faces like a pouring rain, the mercenaries had no choice but to continue to play the role of quails, raising their shields to make evasive moves.
The mutation occurred at this time, with the cover of the volley of feather arrows, forcing the mercenaries to cover and dodge at the same time, the secret class hidden in the thief archer array, two rows of crossbowmen quietly revealed their sharp claws.
Aiming at the flaws that inevitably appeared in the dodge process, the sharp crossbow bolts burrowed through the gap in the blink of an eye, and the sound of the crossbow bolts penetrating the flesh appeared almost along with the screams.
Caught off guard, nearly ten mercenaries and guards fell to the ground, and they were also targeted by the shooters to shoot at the vital point, and the damage caused was equally terrifying, so the defense line composed of a few rows of mercenaries appeared several gaps after only one round of crossbow arrows.
