Chapter 135: Surprise from the Sky
All ~ tidying up - weapons and armor - ready to fight! A mile north of Boulder, Art was so tired that he was almost out of breath, and he was divided into several paragraphs when he spoke.
Half an hour earlier, Art, who was running along the carriageway with reinforcements, met Felix and one of his cavalry retinue who had come on horseback to report the news, and learned from Felix that Aat had learned the bad news that Boulder Town was about to fall and that Angus was determined to sacrifice his life.
Art didn't dare to slack off, while letting Felix's entourage go to the front to explore the way to avoid another ambush, while ordering the soldiers behind him to unload all the cumbersome materials on their bodies except for weapons and armor, and then he refused the reins handed by Felix and personally led the team towards Boulder Town without sparing his life, hoping to reach the battlefield before the bandits broke the camp.
Thanks to the endurance training of the soldiers who ran almost every day, from the time they encountered the messenger cavalry to the time they reached half a mile north of Boulder Town, no one in the entire army was left behind, and a few of the new soldiers had coughed up bloodshot from their mouths.
While the soldiers were sorting out their weapons, Art glanced at Boulder Town, half a mile to the south, where the battle seemed to continue, and the earth-shattering roars could still be heard from time to time.
"Luckily, there's still a chance." Art thought silently.
"My lord, the soldiers are ready, let's rush forward!" Kazak was concerned about the safety of everyone in the camp, and he didn't care about letting the soldiers who had traveled long distances to repair for a moment, and planned to go directly into battle.
Art glanced at the battlefield half a mile away, and ordered Kazak, "Let the guards blow the horn!" Charge in battle formation! ”
In the camp of Boulder Town, the battle has entered the stage of hand-to-hand combat.
The gate had been breached, and five or six bandits had rushed into the camp to engage in a final battle with the remnants of the defenders.
Otto was surrounded by three bandits in the middle, he rounded the tomahawk in his hand and slashed at the bandits around him, the three bandits also kept finding a gap to stab a sword or slash, Odo, who had suffered multiple wounds, was already the last madness before dying
In the gap in the back, Ron roared and kicked over a bandit in front of him, but a short spear pierced his other calf from behind, he was stunned, half knelt on the ground, turned around and used the sword grid to stab another short spear in the back, but unexpectedly a page hammer in front of him smashed into his head, Ron instinctively deflected his head, the page hammer smashed into his shoulder, he seemed to hear a crisp sound of a broken collarbone, but fortunately the page hammer only smashed the iron piece of the shoulder armor
The gap on the left side of the walled wall had fallen, and Lusignnan began to retreat from the gap to the middle of the camp, and with the help of a few boulders next to the camp tent in the wall, he caught a glimpse of Ron, who was knocked down by the bandits' page hammer, and the tip of the short spear had been raised high and was about to fall on Ron's body, Lucini raised the short sword in his hand and threw it at the spear-wielding bandit, and the hilt smashed into the back of the bandit's head, and the bandit was immediately smashed, and the short spear was also nailed into the ground beside Ron
Under the arrow tower in the middle of the camp, the leader of the second squadron of the first squadron, Crido, fell here, his neck was cut off by the bandit's thick-backed broadsword, and the last trace of flesh and skin of the head was tilted to the side, and the bandit in front of him was raising the machete in his hand to cut off the last bit of flesh and skin that connected his head to his body
On the arrow tower, Gongnu squad leader Jason shot the last heavy arrow in the quiver, then broke the arrow on his left shoulder, pulled out the short knife on his waist, climbed the arrow tower fence, jumped from the fifteen-foot high arrow tower, and directly hit the bandit who had just cut off the head of Cledo, and the short knife in his hand also stuck into the gangster's eye socket
Outside the main gate of the camp, Angus's horse had fallen to his feet, his body full of arrows and broken short spears, and his legs were almost cut off. More than ten steps beside the war horse, Angus, who was holding a blood-colored long-handled battle axe, swung his axe and cut off a short spear that pierced over, and then slammed into the surrounding bandits with a few steps, knocking out a gap in the encirclement
The bandit leader listened to the earth-shattering sound of fighting in the camp, and looked at the fallen riders who were surrounded by seven or eight people not far away and could still break the formation, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of cool air in his heart, "What are these demons in hell running out for!" ”
Gary knew that the battle was a foregone conclusion from the time he sent the last seven or eight elites, but he didn't think he had lost.
All his forces had been invested in the last battle, and the bandits besieging the fallen riders outside the fortress were already the last few personal guards around him, and even the seven or eight well-trained archers had already put their bows and arrows and picked up their short spears and threw themselves into the final battle to seize the camp.
A dozen elite soldiers leading a dozen patrol soldiers and miscellaneous servants could make him lose nearly forty men, and Gary no longer expected the fifty or sixty bandits ambushed by Taniguchi to return triumphantly
Scarface Hus, who had led a dozen or so remnants of his bandits to watch the battle, gave Gary a cold look, Gary knew what that greedy look meant, and from now on, he would never turn back after losing power
"Woo~Woo~Woo~~~" The horn sound of the charging horn pierced through the wasteland.
To the north of the battlefield of Boulder Town, a black-robed soldier lined up and launched a desperate charge against the bandits attacking the camp. Art drew his knight's sword and rushed to the front of the line with bloody eyes.
Before the attacking bandits in front of the city could react to where this army came from, Scarface Hus looked at the dark shadow that was getting closer and closer in surprise, and asked in panic, "Gary!" What's going on? Where did the black-robed soldiers come from? ”
The bandit leader Gary was also panicked, even if the sixty or so bandits who ambushed the valley mouth were annihilated, the black-robed soldiers should not have appeared here so soon.
Before he had time to think about it, Gary picked up the horns of the ox that had fallen to the ground and sounded the horn of the retreat towards the Boulder Town camp
The last few men in the camp had heard the trumpet from the north, the familiar sound of the Legion's Charge.
Reinforcements have finally arrived!!
"Brothers! Reinforcements have arrived, kill all these mongrels! The last madness in Colin's blood ignited, and he slammed a bandit door in front with a swing of his grip on the handle of both hands, then jumped up and slammed into the surging bandits at the breach
"Buzz~~~~Buzz~~~~"
The sixth assault of the bandits came to an end with a miserable and long build-up {retreat}.
Otto stopped Lusignan and Colin, who were going to lead his troops out of the village to pursue the enemy, and let the remaining dozen or so men hold the camp to prevent any changes, and then he dragged his wounded arm up the arrow tower and watched the battle of the Northern Legion soldiers against the bandits
Seeing that the thirty or forty bandits who had been hastily assembled and formed were broken through the formation by the black-robed soldiers who had attacked the enemy in formation, and then the black-robed soldiers began to disperse in a pursuit formation to kill the bandits and harvest their heads, and the battle formed a one-sided situation.
Otto's heartstrings finally snapped, and he collapsed on the platform of the arrow tower with a thud
"Felix, take your entourage and follow me to the edge of the wasteland to intercept the bandits who want to escape, none of these mongrels want to run today!" With that, Art put away the blood-dripping knight's sword, turned over and stepped on the war horse led by Felix, and chased after the bandits who had fled sporadically around the wasteland.
To the north of Boulder Town, Hus, one of the bandit leaders, was kicking and beating the miscellaneous horses beneath him, almost escaping the black-robed pursuers who were getting farther and farther behind him.
Before he could rejoice, the three horsemen on war horses behind the black-robed soldier had already chased after him
It is impossible for miscellaneous horses to outrun war horses, and it is impossible for bandits who have been mixing in the mountains and forests and valleys all year round to ride better than cavalrymen who often fight across horses.
Seeing that he could no longer outrun his pursuers, Scarface Hus jumped off his horse with a pop, then got up and knelt on the ground, holding his head in his hands, and begged for mercy from Art with teary eyes.
Art asked Felix to continue to lead his retinue around the circle to chase down the bandits who escaped the fastest, and then he jumped off his horse and drew his knight's sword and slowly walked towards the guy who was kneeling on the ground and begging for mercy, Art knew that the bandits who could ride horses were at least the leaders of the fighting power, so he didn't dare to be careless.
Slowly walking up to the bandits, Art shouted at the bandits to raise their heads.
The two looked at each other for a moment.
"It's you!"
"It's you~"
"Bastard! That time you ran away, and you still dared to attack my camp! Go to hell! Art didn't talk nonsense with the bandit at all, he directly raised his hand and pierced the throat of the bandit on the ground with a sword, drew his sword and chopped off the head of the corpse, and then stepped onto the horse with the bloody head, and did not forget to spit on the headless corpse on the ground as he left
It was nearly evening.
In the canyon between the dense forests northeast of Boulder Town, the bandits in ambush are still waiting anxiously.
One of the bandits stood up and sat down again, then stood up again and ran to the second leader of the bandits who was standing on the east side and asked, "Second leader, how long have you been waiting, those black-robed dogs shouldn't dare to pass here, right?" ”
The second leader of the bandits put his right hand on his forehead, took advantage of the sunset to look at it, and did not answer the bandits' words.
Just when everyone was waiting anxiously, several figures suddenly appeared on the west carriageway.
"Quick, take a few guys down and have a look."
After a while, the bandits, who had gone down to check the situation, hurried back.
"Oh no, the battle is lost! Defeated! The bandits crawled to the ground in front of the second leader.
The second leader lifted the bandit who fell to the ground and shouted, "What are you panicking about, make it clear." ”
"The big chief, they were surrounded and annihilated by the black-robed dogs, and the brothers were all arrested, except for the soft eggs in the northland who fled in despair, only these brothers under the mountain escaped."
"What? Where did the black-robed dog come from? We stayed on guard for an afternoon, and no one passed by here at all. ”
"What those brothers saw with their own eyes, a large group of black-robed dogs attacked them from behind, and the brothers suffered heavy casualties, and even the big leader was captured."
The second leader was dizzy.
Next, the bandits who set up an ambush at Taniguchi had a huge disagreement.
The focus of disagreement is whether to rescue the bandit leader who has been captured by the bandit army. Fifty or sixty bandits were soon divided into two factions, one was a few old brothers led by the second leader, who advocated going to Boulder Town to rescue the bandit leader, and the other was the newly joined bandit who was the majority of the people, they were originally annexed or newly joined minions, and now that the general trend is gone, the leader has been captured, and they should run for their lives.166 Net
