Section 257: Destruction of catapults
The horse neighed and galloped past, and Bruce slashed downward, but in fact, on the back of the bumpy horse, Bruce could not accurately see the target at all, relying entirely on instinct and the sounds around him.
"Smack~." A crisp sound rang out in Bruce's ears, and he felt his hands thump, and then he was carried forward a few paces by the horse.
"It's time to be hit." Bruce turned his head uncomfortably to look behind him, only to see that the head of the Amar soldier who had been cut off by himself was split, and blood came out of the top of his head, and the blood quickly stained the Turban of the Amar soldier, and then the soldier fell to his knees and fell to the ground.
"Damn." Nasser was furious when he saw Bruce kill his soldiers, and he strode over to the cavalrymen with his scimitar in both hands.
"Protect Nasser." Haradin hurriedly shouted to the soldiers, and as he shouted, he threw a javelin, which struck the mount of a noble cavalryman, and the horse jumped in pain, throwing its master off the horse.
"Ken, find a way to destroy the catapult." Bruce turned his horse's head, and he shouted at Ken, who was following him.
"Yes, Lord Baron." Ken nodded, and he hurried up to the catapult, swung his sword to drive the Amar soldiers away from the catapult, and then slashed at the flax rope on the catapult.
After the rope of the catapult was cut, the catapult made a creaking sound, but it was not completely damaged, and although Ken tried his best to chop, he did not understand the principle of machinery after all, and could only destroy it with brute force, and the result was that he used all kinds of strength but the effect was very poor.
"Looks like I've got to come." Bruce saw Ken's actions at this time, and knew that he did not understand the mechanics and could only rely on brute force, so he ignored Nasser, who had caught up, and circled to the side of the catapult.
"Man, Lord Baron?" Ken wondered why Bruce had come here.
"Stop them." Bruce didn't say much, he pointed to Nasser who was chasing behind him, and rode to the catapult by himself, he glanced at the catapult and immediately understood the whole structure, after all, Bruce's soul came from later generations, in that era when various machinery and electrical appliances were developed, and experienced the study of physical knowledge, and soon understood this primitive catapult relying on the principle of leverage.
"Kill~~." On the other side, Ken stepped forward and stopped Nasser who was trying to attack Bruce, although Nasser was fighting on foot, but he did not fall behind at all, this elite warrior of Ammar with skilled combat skills, wielding the scimitar in his hand, was actually on a par with Ken on horseback.
"Huh?" Ken turned around in surprise after riding his horse, he was surprised by the mercenary's superb swordsmanship, and couldn't help but look at him curiously.
"Damn heretic, if you're still a knight, come down and fight me." Nasser used all his strength to block Ken's condescending sword, but at this time he was very unconvinced and yelled at Ken.
Ken pursed his lips, his eyes became sharp, this was a challenge to him, if he didn't accept it was afraid that it would damage the prestige of the knight, so he immediately turned over from the horse and jumped, the two looked at each other and stood, the other warring people would try to avoid them, because at this time there was still the atmosphere of warrior duels, whether it was the empire or the people of the Amar Kingdom, they all believed that the warrior's duel was viewed by the gods, and if they dared to destroy a sacred duel, they would be cursed by the gods.
"Very well, it seems that you are a knight of honor." Nasser clenched the scimitar in one hand, and he stepped out of his legs to stand in front of Ken.
"Pagan warrior, do you have a noble blood and surname?" Ken clenched his sword as he asked Nasser.
Nasser's question is not nonsense, the dueling warriors usually have this kind of question, everyone wants to fight against their opponent is a noble family of noble blood, another way of saying that after defeating the opponent, you can go to the other family's family to ask for ransom.
"Of course." Nasser nodded and reported his family history, and Ken raised his sword in his hand to show his respect.
"Scandium~~." After the ceremony, there was a desperate fight, scimitars and swords clashing together, sparks bursting out, and the low roars of warriors and heavy footsteps rang out.
Nasser came from a military aristocratic family, and learned a good swordsmanship in the harsh desert since he was a child, while Ken received the most old-fashioned knightly education from an early age, and swordsmanship was his daily obligation, and the two sides were like a leopard and a lion from the desert duel, and the blade and blade brushed the bodies of the two.
"Boom~~." Just when the two of them were panting like bullfights, a creaking roar came from the direction of the catapult, and the two looked over in surprise, only to see that the originally intact catapult was actually scattered to the ground.
"That's it." Bruce raised the wooden wedge in his hand, grinned, and then tucked the wooden wedge into the leather pouch on the side of the horse, and quickly turned over on the horse.
"How is that possible?" Nasser's eyes were bigger than a cow, this catapult was brought by him from his hometown, and he usually carefully dismantled and wrapped it in sheepskin for safekeeping, only two craftsmen knew how to combine and disassemble, but he didn't expect Bruce to be able to dismantle this catapult.
"Be careful." Seeing this scene, his heart was overjoyed, looking at the hole in the wall of Ignas's manor, it is not difficult to imagine that it was all a good thing done by this catapult, he raised the sword in his hand, and slashed it with the sword of the roof from a high position.
"Ah~." Nasser panicked and took a step back, but he didn't expect to be slashed in the wrist, and he fell diagonally because of a stone under his feet, so the blade of the sword was not very deep, but the blood came out at that time.
"Nasser." Haradin was fighting against the noble cavalry, and when he saw this, he didn't care about anything else, and hurriedly ran over.
"You've lost." Ken raised the sword in his hand and pointed the tip of his sword at Nasser, who had fallen to the ground.
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh~~~~." At this time, many arrows suddenly fell from the sky, and Ken hurriedly waved the sword in his hand to block it.
"It's enemy reinforcements, and it's time for us to leave." Bruce was on horseback and saw a group of soldiers with bows and arrows, shooting arrows at his side, coming over, and the noise in the direction of the battlefield gradually subsided, and it seemed that both sides were exhausted.
"Ken, retreat." Bruce turned his horse's head, kicked his horse off the belly, and shouted to Ken and the noble cavalry.
"Retreat, retreat." Ken glanced at Nasser on the ground, took a few steps back, put his finger in his mouth and whistled sharply, and his horse immediately ran over, and Ken stepped on the stirrup and turned over on his horse.
