Chapter 387: Reversing the Situation (95/104)
For two months, Corleone didn't take much care of himself, and now he had a beard about a centimeter on his chin, and the lines were thick and hard as if they had been chiseled out by a knife and axe.
His hair was no longer tied up, but was scattered behind him, like a barbarian on a desert island.
There are many places on his body that are different from the past, but the only thing that remains unchanged is his black eyes, which still shine like stars, and there is a light hidden in them that has never been extinguished.
Seeing this situation, even Owen, a rough man, couldn't help but be a little moved, he wiped his face with his big hand, wiped the tears from his eyes, and then turned to look at the robbers who rushed over, and his momentum quickly increased.
The gunshots around him were still ringing rhythmically, and Owen suddenly remembered something, so he turned to look at Corleone and said suspiciously: "But captain, if we all die here, what should we do about the mission?" ”
This time, without waiting for Corleone to speak, Kothar replied: "Don't worry, and Zarza, we'll put him at the station and let him run forward, and if he's lucky, he'll be able to reach Redburg and deliver the news." ”
Hearing this, Owen naturally didn't say anything more, but he also knew very well that that kind of resigned to fate was too unreliable, but in the current situation, he could only pin his hopes on Zarza.
To Owen's surprise, Kothar, the coward, was also showing extraordinary courage at this moment, also holding a rifle in his hand, and was shooting at the robbers with Corleone.
At a distance of three hundred meters, under normal circumstances, Corleone and they could shoot at least eight rounds, but unfortunately when the shooting was carried out in the fifth round, they had no choice but to stop.
"Damn, there are no bullets, if there are enough bullets, we can completely fight these bandits head-on!" Kothar said in exasperation, then tossed his rifle aside.
Without bullets, this thing is just a burning stick.
Corleone also stopped shooting, no bullets was their biggest problem, if in their heyday, with the ability of the five of them, it was not impossible to deal with the fifty robbers on the opposite side.
But from the very beginning, when the robbers caught up, all of them had less than forty rounds of bullets on their backs, and even less when they were distributed among each of them.
After all, they had been without any supplies for two months, and during this time they continued to fight, and their ammunition was constantly consumed.
And after this battle, the ammunition has been depleted.
"Well, this weapon is very useful, but the most reliable is the sword in your hand after all!" Corleone let out a low sigh, then raised his sword.
Kothar also drew his long sword, but it could be seen that his hands holding the sword trembled slightly, and it was obvious that his heart was not as calm as he appeared.
At this moment, the bandit had already rushed to a distance of thirty meters in front of them, and at this distance, the battle could be said to be on the verge of breaking out, and Corleone could even clearly see the hideous scar on the face of the robber who rushed to the front.
Scarface smiled fiercely, looked at the three people blocking the front, let out a sharp laugh in his throat, and said: "Hehehe, what a bunch of fools, they don't know how to escape, do you still think you can beat us?" ”
After a few rounds of shooting by Corleone just now, the number of the bandits' team shrank again, and at this moment, including the bandit leader, there were less than thirty people.
It's just that with this number of people to attack, they still have an absolute advantage in the face of Corleone, Corleone they can't win at all, and they may not even be able to survive the first wave of impact, and they will be wiped out.
Seeing that the enemy had rushed in front of them and the time of death was approaching, Corleone and the others did not have a trace of fear in their eyes, and Owen held the trunk of the tree in his hand with a smile, they were all ready to die.
At that moment, with a whoosh, an arrow suddenly shot out from behind Corleone and them, piercing the ground in front of the bandits.
Attacked by the sudden attack, the robbers immediately grabbed the reins and became vigilant, and Scarface took two steps back, and said with a hideous face: "Damn, there is an ambush." ”
"Huh?" Seeing this arrow, Corleone and the others were also stunned, could it be that this arrow was shot by Zarza, but there is no reason, isn't Zarza already fainted?
Thinking like this, Corleone looked back suspiciously, and at first glance, he really saw Zarza's figure, but the arrow was not shot by Zarza, but the person next to Zarza, a knight covered in sky blue armor!
"This is?!" Corleone muttered, and Owen and the others turned around as well, and then stayed where they were.
The knight didn't come alone, and beside him, a knight in azure armor rushed over the mountain pass.
They are like waves of the ocean, enveloping Corleone and them, giving people a strong sense of security.
"Fort Redburg cavalry squadron, Baron Morro is here, soldiers, clear those bandits!" The knight standing beside Zarza raised his bow and arrows, and shouted loudly.
The azure cavalry around them shouted in response, and then they rushed past Corleone and slashed at the bandits.
"It's not good, there's an ambush, retreat!" Scarface screamed, pulled a short-handled musket from his bosom, slammed it, and then turned and fled.
These mafia-turned-bandits also have weapons such as short-handled muskets in their hands, but the number is too small, and they are usually only used to send signals, such as telling everyone to retreat.
Hearing the familiar sound of muskets at this moment, these robbers no longer had that fierce appearance, but fled frantically backwards like a pack of lost dogs.
In fact, the number of sky blue cavalry is not much, a squadron, only about thirty people, and the number of those robbers is about the same.
However, these robbers had a natural fear of the regular army, and at this moment when they saw the regular cavalry, their morale was immediately crumbled, and under the cover of night, it was impossible to see how many cavalrymen were coming.
Once the panic was formed, they began to flee en masse, and no one wanted to stay where they were to fight or resist.
Kothar looked at the sky blue cavalry in front of him in a daze, he only felt that the scene in front of him was like a dream, the change of form was too fast, the situation that was supposed to die, but he didn't expect a sudden reversal, and for a moment he only felt that his whole person was relaxed.
