Chapter 118: "Grandiose" Battle
Art hurried back to the convoy camp, and while asking Ron to help put on the heavy iron scale armor, he gasped and said to Angus and Felix Ron in the camp: "The wolves have come out of the hole, it will be there in a while, everyone get ready!" ”
Felix hurried out of the camp to convey Art's order to the soldiers who were in ambush in several other camps......
…………
At noon, the sun is in the sky.
In the dense forest in the southern part of the barren hills outside the valley mouth, more than thirty mountain bandits armed with broadswords, short spears, and scythes and axes were leaning over and quietly marching. More than 300 paces ahead, smoke was rising from the campsite of the convoy, and the convoy guards were munching bacon and drinking fruit wine around a campfire, enjoying a rare relaxing time after a night of travel.
The leader hid in a bush and looked up, he noticed a hint of abnormality, and whispered, "No! All their posts have been withdrawn! This shouldn't be, these days, in order to prevent anyone from peeping into the camp, they will send out sentry posts every time they set up camp to shield the surroundings. ”
The second leader of the mountain bandits also looked around, looked at the smoke rising from the camp, and said, "It must be back to the camp to eat, now is the time for them to relax, let's take this opportunity to rush out!"
"No, no, no, it's better to be careful, observe for a while, and then you send someone to look around carefully to confirm if there are any figures, I'm worried that they still have ambushes." The quieter it became, the more unconfident the leader felt in his heart.
The second leader was already a little impatient with this indecisive fellow, and he retorted: "Chief! Don't hesitate any longer, they'll be ready to send out their posts after they've eaten, and if we miss this great opportunity, we'll have to kill a lot of good guys! ”
"Brothers, first come, first served! rushed with me, robbed the goods and went into the city for recreation. Before the leader could hesitate, the second leader had already ignored his order and rushed out directly with a few ** bandits.
"Bastard!" The leader scolded the second leader lightly, and he had to take the main force of more than 20 mountain bandits with his cronies to follow the second leader and rush over more than 30 steps.
Seeing that the second leader had rushed into the convoy camp with seven or eight ** bandits, suddenly there was a change in the camp tent, and more than a dozen soldiers in armor and shields ghostly rushed out of the camp tent, slashing and stabbing at the second leader who rushed into the camp and the bandits who charged forward.
A few shadows in black robes appeared in the eyes of the bandit leader, and he froze in place on the spot, and then he reacted.
"Withdraw!! Remove!! There is an ambush!! Return to camp!! The leader reacted quickly, dragging the three leaders of the mountain bandits who passed by him and ran back.
The more than 20 mountain bandits surrounding around saw the sudden change in the convoy camp, and heard the leader's retreat, they stopped charging and turned around and followed the leader's ass shadow into the dense forest......
"Leader, the second leader is still fighting in front, they are surrounded and can't withdraw, should we take it?" The three leaders said to the leader to rescue the second leader, but the steps of fleeing for their lives did not stop at all.
"That bastard, I said there was an abnormality, he also led people to charge, since he wants to die, let him die!!" The leader walked bigger as he spoke, and the trees on both sides swished past him......
Yate did not participate in the siege of the mountain bandits in the camp by the guards and soldiers, his eyes were fixed on the backs of the twenty or thirty fleeing mountain bandits behind the seven or eight mountain bandits, obviously the main force of the mountain bandits had already seen through the ambush soldiers in the convoy camp, and they left a few charging bandits to flee on their own.
In the convoy camp, Felix slashed at a bandit leader who led his troops into the camp under the cover of a personal guard, Felix had never experienced such a close battle, and he had only stood behind the battlement wall and threw a few light arrows at the bandits below the wall during the last Sapu defense.
Under the protection of the guards, Felix was bold, and the broadsword in his hand beckoned to the leader of the mountain bandits, and the movements were wide open and closed, and the formation was quite fierce, but after a set of actions, even the fur of the mountain bandits was not injured.
"Kill quickly, leave a few people to guard the camp, and the rest pursue the remnants of the enemy!" Art gave an order, and Angus and the others slashed and stabbed the bandits in front of them to the ground.
Ron saw that Felix was still fighting with the bandit leader, and kicked the bandit minion in front of him to the ground with a sharp kick, then raised the broadsword in his hand and rushed over, raising his sword and slashing towards the side and back of the bandit leader, the broadsword slashed diagonally into the leader's right shoulder and into the base of the leader's neck.
Ron raised his right leg and kicked the sword leader in the back, pulling the sword out, and yelled at Felix, "Don't play tricks on you! Hurry up and end the battle and chase down the remnants of the enemy! With that, he turned and followed in the footsteps of Art and Angus towards the dense forest.
Felix's eyes were full of blood, he glanced at Ron, and stabbed the broadsword in his hand into the chest of the mountain bandit leader who fell to the ground: "He's mine!" It's mine!! ”
With a look of disappointment on his face, he pulled out the sword from his corpse and chased after Ron......
The bandits are here.
The leader had been frightened, and he had been worried about ambushes around the front and rear of the convoy, so he repeatedly sent people around to spy on the convoy before deciding to attack it. However, he still couldn't understand why there were so many ambushes in the convoy camp all of a sudden.
"Leader, chase ~ catch up!" The three leaders of the mountain bandits were already running out of breath.
"More ~ how many pursuers."
"See~ I can't see clearly! In the back~two~hundred-step fall on our buttocks. ”
"One ~ group ~ mongrel! It's so far away~~ Still chasing TM! "The pursuers behind had been running for miles with their butts down, and they were getting closer and closer, and they didn't mean to let them go.
In front of the mountain bandits was a flat open field in the dense forest, and the leader already knew that he could not successfully shake off the pursuers behind him, so he had to fight the trapped beasts.
The leader stood in the middle of the clearing and gasped, then pulled out the thick-backed machete pinned to his waist, and shouted to the mountain bandits who followed him: "MD, you can't run away!" Guys, line up in the clearing and let those bastards know how sharp our teeth are!! ”
The mountain bandits didn't know the identity of the black-robed soldiers in this group of guards, and they hadn't tried the power of their swords, and now they were chased by a group of dogs for a long time, and their hearts were full of fire, and they stopped at the instigation of the leader and took out their weapons to line up in formation amid the scolding of several small leaders......
On the other side of the dense forest, the convoy soldiers who pursued the remnants of the bandits were also tired and sweaty.
"Old~Master~They~Stopped~Lined up~" Ron, who was running at the front, reflexively reported to Art the movements of the bandits.
Art didn't expect that this group of remnants would have the courage to line up and kill each other.
"Everyone~ stop trimming!" Art swallowed a mouthful of saliva, shouting at the soldiers and guards who followed.
Everyone in the dense forest stopped, took off the water bladder on their waists, drank some water to moisten their thirsty throats, and then took off the shield on their backs and waved the weapons in their hands.
"Array!" Angus's voice rang out.
In the dense forest, about twenty soldiers stood in a line, raising their shields to their chests, and their swords and hammers leaning against the edge of the shields.
"Listen to the order and move slowly." A dozen or so people moved in small steps, moving from the edge of the dense forest to the glade.
Art stood on the far right side of the line with several horseless horsemen of the Sentinel Cavalry, their shields in their hands pressed against their chests, their steps aligned, their breath steady, and their eyes full of evil, in sharp contrast to the Sapp soldier guards next to them who were crooked and gasping for breath.
The two armies were separated by more than a hundred paces, and several light arrows were fired in twos and threes in the formation of the mountain bandits on the other side of the clearing, and the light arrows had lost their strength at such a distance, except for a few light arrows that fell to the side of the Sapu soldiers' escort to slightly disrupt the formation, and almost did not affect the pursuing side.
"My lord, do you want to shoot arrows to fight back?" Jason intends to take off the horn step bow from his back to fight back against the bandits.
"Shoot three rounds at the bandits behind you. In a moment, you guys hurry up and disrupt the bandits' formation, so that Sapp's soldiers can follow you and charge after you......"
…………
"Charge slower for a while, let the newcomers disrupt the enemy's formation, and if it goes well, you charge again." The leader of the bandits whispered to a few of his most confidant minions.
For a moment, the arrays on both sides of the clearing were moving, and the two sides were no more than fifty paces apart.
Forty paces, the chasing formation was a little turbulent, and was immediately stopped by Ron and Lusignan.
Thirty paces, a few of the bandits stopped their pace and were kicked away by the leader of the war.
Twenty paces, both sides stopped, their weapons waving lightly.
The three leaders of the mountain bandits raised the hammer in their hands and yelled at the mountain bandit minions in front of them: "Rush! Kill all those mongrels and rob them of their belongings!! ”
More than 20 mountain bandits, ghosts, howling wolves, rushed towards the opposite side.
The three leaders of the mountain bandits were also about to rush over with the minions, and the leader kicked him to the ground with a big foot, "Stupid! Rush over and die!! ”
The three leaders of the mountain bandits haven't understood yet.
"Run for your life!!" As he spoke, the leader strode away into the forest with one of his henchmen.
The leader of the mountain bandits did not intend to fight with the pursuers at all, he just wanted to encourage his subordinates to drag the pursuers to buy time for his escape, in his opinion, in this chaotic world, the Liukou mountain bandits can gather a large number at any time, as long as they keep their own lives, there is a chance to make a comeback.
When the mountain bandits who fought against the pursuers in the clearing, they found that although the other party was just an ordinary castle guard, the weapons and equipment in their hands were quite sophisticated.
However, the mountain bandits who begged for food under the sword all year round also broke out with a combat power that should not be underestimated when they were dying and struggling.
Although there were a few strong black-robed soldiers on the pursuing side, after seeing those bandits rushing into battle like beasts, the escort soldiers from Sapp were obviously not able to support it, and the left flank with no leader began to collapse after being cut down by a few people, and the guards on the left flank began to be squeezed into the middle, and even one or two guards had the tendency to retreat.
"Sergeant Major! Left flank! Left flank!! In the middle of the battle, Arte caught a glimpse of the loss of ground on the left flank, and yelled at Angus, who was rushing to charge in the center.
Angus pulled Lusignan beside him to his position to fill the void, then picked up his tomahawk and rushed towards the left flank, slashing down a bandit with one axe, and then rounding the tomahawk to force back several bandits who were about to break up the left flank.
On the left flank, Angus joined and stabilized his position, and several of the left flank guards, who were already planning to retreat, turned around and followed Angus to fight a smooth battle.
Although there was a crisis on the left flank just now, because the right flank and the center were led by Art, Ron, and Lusignan, the formation of the pursuing side was always in the upper hand.
The dying bandits found that their last fight could not reverse the situation at all, the blood and courage of a moment ago were exhausted, and what made them even more unexpected was that the backbone behind them had abandoned them and disappeared without a trace......
Felix finally regained his confidence this time, and the sword in his hand was already stained with the blood of two mountain bandits. Although the two corpses lying on the ground were in tattered clothes and their weapons were nothing more than threshing flails and wheat scythes, Felix himself was not only armed with broadswords but also in iron armor.
Felix swordsmanship has too many tricks, plus the first time he fought to kill, he was already a little out of strength after killing two mountain bandits, he raised his head, smiled lightly and said proudly to Ron who had just slashed a bandit next to him: "Brother Ron, I killed two!"
Ron glanced up in Felix's direction, and there was a sudden panic in his eyes as a bandit had raised his axe and slashed at Felix's back.
In desperation, Ron had no time to let Felix dodge, he pulled out the sword inserted in the corpse on the ground, and smashed it at Felix with a swing of his broadsword.
Felix didn't understand why Ron's face suddenly changed drastically, and seeing that Ron's sword had already smashed over, Felix instinctively flashed to the right side, dodging the broadsword thrown by Ron.
Thorn~
Behind him, the axe pulled down Felix's left arm.
Ron ran over and slammed the bandit to the ground, pulling out the hunting knife from his waist and stabbing it into the bandit's eye socket.
Only then did Felix react to a sneak attack behind him, and a cold sweat soaked through the inner lining.
"MD, it's dangerous!" Felix patted his chest.
"This is the battlefield! Hold your weapons and watch your surroundings!! Ron pulled Felix up, then picked up the broadaxe on the ground and joined the melee on the other side......
There is a calculation or not, thick armor against cloth clothes, this "magnificent" battle in a stalemate of less than a meal after the battle situation has a one-sided momentum, more than 20 mountain bandits lost the control of the leader and watched the accomplices around them fall one by one, and had to put down their weapons and kneel to beg for mercy in the collapse.
"My lord, the bandits have surrendered!" Angus wiped the blood-stained tomahawk from the corpse's clothing and put it back in the tomahawk pouch behind his back.
"Sergeant Major, let Felix take someone to watch the prisoners and treat the wounded soldiers, and you will lead the men of the Sentinel Cavalry to pursue the bandit leader with me."
With that, Art drew his sword into the sheath and ran in the direction of the mountain bandit leader's escape......
