Chapter 321: Hidden Arrows Are Hard to Defend Against
However, after this sound, there was an eerie silence around him, and no one responded to him.
Ten seconds passed, and Simon shouted again, but still no one stood up from the hill, and there was no other sound, and the atmosphere gradually became solemn in this silence.
Seeing this, Simon was stunned, and immediately said angrily: "Damn, this kid can't fall asleep, hmph, he actually slept while standing guard, this time I have to use the military to punish his crime." ”
With that, Simon strode up the hill, ready to call out the unscrupulous sentry and reprimand him severely.
Alan stood in place and muttered in a low voice: "There's no reason, I obviously came to check before, and that kid hadn't slept yet, what?" Does he think that after one check-up, there will be no more check-ups? ”
Eugen, who was standing beside Allen, heard his muttering and immediately frowned, and a trace of doubt welled up in his heart.
"Simon, be careful, something seems wrong." Thinking about it, Eugen whispered a reminder to Simon on the hill while resting his right hand on the hilt of his sword.
After Eugen's reminder, Simon immediately realized something, indeed, this is the closest sentry post to the enemy army after all, and no matter how careless the soldiers stationed there are, it is impossible to sleep with such a big heart.
Thinking like this, he simply pulled out the sword in his hand with a screech, the tip of the sword pointed diagonally forward, and continued to shout loudly: "Hey! Soldier, what are you doing?! ”
As he said this, Simon stopped moving forward, but stepped back cautiously step by step, his posture cautious, ready for possible attacks.
The situation seemed very strange, and Eugen was a little nervous, but he was not afraid, because it was relatively close to the camp, and even if something went wrong, they would have time to run back to the camp to ask for support.
On the other hand, because in this era of cold weapons, the battle between the two sides is ultimately a face-to-face hand-to-hand combat, even if the enemy can be ambushed in the dark in advance, he still has to take the initiative to jump out in the end, without worrying about someone shooting cold in the back.
If you want to sneak attack on the other side, you can only put cold arrows......
"Cold Arrow!" Thinking of this, Eugen suddenly exclaimed.
Alan and Simon were immediately drawn to him, and at the same time, among the surrounding grass, several crossbows were opened, aiming at the three men standing near the small hill.
With a thud, the bowstring flicked off, and the arrow left the bowstring and flew forward tremblingly, carrying enough force to knock down a warhorse.
The next second Eugen shouted the cold arrow, Alan and Simon immediately reacted, and they kicked their legs hard to the side to dodge, but it turned out that Eugen, who was the first to think of the crossbow arrow, was half a beat slower, only slightly sideways.
brush, a total of nine crossbow arrows, flew to three people, three each.
Alan and Simon dodged the arrows, and Eugen was half a beat slower, dodging only two of them, and was about to be shot in the back by the last arrow.
With the power of the crossbow arrow, if this arrow hits, Eugen will probably be shot directly through the back, and the arrow will pierce the heart, so that even God's favor will not be able to save him.
At this moment, Allen, who was closest to Eugen, roared angrily, stretched out his arms and threw himself at Eugen's back, using his body as Eugen's shield.
Poof......
The sound of a sharp weapon cutting through flesh sounded, and an arrow shot directly through Allen's shoulder blades, bringing his body backwards, and the arrow pierced through Allen and then hit Eugen's back, actually digging a bloody hole in his body.
In addition, one of the two arrows that Eugen had dodged happened to hit Allen's arm, blood gushed out, and his left hand suddenly hung weakly.
"Alan!" Simon, who was standing still on the hill, saw this scene and immediately let out an angry roar, and he rushed down the hillside with red eyes, and raised his sword to block Eugen and Allen.
Eugen didn't know what was going on, the arrow hit him with Allen's body, crushing him to the ground, he clearly felt the flesh on his back being torn by the arrow, and thought he had been shot directly by the arrow.
"Damn, I know that the flag can't be set up casually, it's going to be over now." Thinking like this, Eugen simply lay down on the ground, ready for his own death, and even thinking about his last words.
But the next moment, after hearing Simon's shout, he realized that something seemed to be wrong, and there was still strength in his body, and the mysterious light that the legendary person would see before he died did not appear in front of his eyes.
Thinking so, Eugen stiffened his body, and with such force he got up from the ground.
Without support, Allen's body immediately fell to the ground limply, blood flowing from the wounds on his shoulders and arms, gradually staining his armor red.
"Damn, what's the situation!" Looking back at this scene, Eugen suddenly exclaimed in surprise, he clearly remembered that Alan had dodged the arrow before him, how could he be so seriously injured.
"My lord, he helped you block the crossbow arrows." Simon gritted his teeth and whispered, his tone full of anger like the roar of a wounded lion.
Eugen hurriedly rushed forward to help Ike's body, and at a glance, he saw two crossbow arrows on Alan's left shoulder and arm, and the exposed arrows were already stained red with blood.
"Who! Who is it! Come out for me! Seeing Allen's tragic situation, Eugen's chest was filled with rage, and he looked around and let out a fierce roar like a trapped beast.
With Eugen's roar, I saw a group of ten people walking out of the bushes on one side one after another, the first one was carrying a scimitar, obviously a role like a captain, and the other nine people threw away the bow and crossbow in their hands, and also pulled out the scimitar at their waists, looking at Eugen and the others with fierce eyes.
After a few people came out, they stood in a half-moon-shaped formation around Eugen, staring at Eugen and the others with fierce eyes, but they were silent and didn't say a word.
"Saxony!" Eugen said in a cold voice, his tone was as if he wanted to kill, and seeing the outfits on their bodies, Eugen understood the identity of the other party, these people were Duke Billund's subordinates.
It is true that the cavalry makes up the majority of the Saxon legions, and they are best at close combat, but this does not mean that they do not know how to use long-range weapons, in fact, the soldiers of the Saxon legion are very skilled in the use of bows and crossbows.
It's just that the crossbow is time-consuming and laborious to load, which is not conducive to the confrontation on a large battlefield, and this time the Duke of Billund only carried a small number of bows and crossbows, and they were rarely seen using them in ordinary times.
