"What's going on?"

The sentry in William's tent spotted the city walls, and the sound of the fighting and the bowstring could not be concealed from their ears.

"I don't know!" The leader of one of the sentries looked in the direction of the city wall, shook his head, and said, "Let's go and see first!" ”

As he spoke, he took seven of his squad's ten men away, leaving three to continue to stand guard in this place.

"Damn ......"

By the time the first round of shooting was over, Ariel was panting, the wound on her left arm was causing her a very strong pain, and coupled with the excessive blood loss before, she was even a little dizzy now.

"Quick! Where there seems to be a person! ”

The leader of the sentries looked ahead, and could faintly see a figure curled up on the ground, and above the castle, the sound of the bowstring being pulled apart sounded.

"Damn it! Let's go get that guy back! ”

The leader of the sentries hurriedly said, he subconsciously thought that the people that the enemy in the castle wanted to kill must be very useful to him, so he planned to rescue the seriously injured man.

"Sword and shield soldier, go and protect him with a shield!"

Listening to the sound of the bowstring that had been pulled, the leader of the sentries hurriedly said that their team of sentries were also Denlenburg infantry, so the establishment was the same.

"Whoosh!"

There was another sound of breaking through the air, and Ariel tried hard to put up the shield to protect her body, but she had lost control of her body due to excessive blood loss.

"Oh, forget it, that's all there is, I've done my best, farewell, dear Altaïr!"

Ariel's pupils were a little dilated, which meant that her consciousness was no longer awake, and it seemed that this was just her last thought.

More than 200 arrows flew out from the towers of the castle, and almost at the same time as they shot the arrows, the sword and shield infantry came to Ariel's side with their almost equal shields.

The three of them erected their big shields and protected Yaliel behind them, and they didn't have any flaws.

This kind of shield has to be said to be invincible for the protection of arrows, and the almost life-length shield is equivalent to a wall that can protect against arrows as long as a person squats.

Absolutely unendangered by enemy arrows, the three of them put their shields together, which was the most training they had ever conducted, and they were very protective as the line-resistant infantry that assisted the pikemen.

"Bang ......"

The sound of arrows falling on the shield sounded, and the shield was tightly closed by the three sword and shield soldiers, without the slightest gap, so all the arrows fell on the protective surface of the shield.

Eventually, she fell unconscious, losing so much blood that she couldn't hold on anymore, and if it weren't for the rigorous training and the owner's resolute character, she would have collapsed long ago!

Being shot in the left arm by an arrow was the last straw that broke her, she had not eaten for a day, and she was very tired from evading the pursuit, which, combined with the blood loss, and the wrestling she had just had, had made her almost faint.

However, before she fainted, she seemed to see three people appear in front of her, and it was clear that the person who could appear outside the castle at this time was obviously the one to whom she was loyal to Earl William.

Thinking of this, Ariel's hanging heart couldn't help but let go, she fainted, in fact, there was also part of the reason for relaxing her mind.

"Damn! He was rescued by the enemy! ”

One of the knights on the rampart looked at the situation below, struck the battlements with his gauntleted fist, and cursed angrily.

"What are we going to do now?"

Several other knights also came up to ask the knight's opinion.

This is an important fugitive that the Earl of Cansville must have caught, and now he has escaped right under his nose......

One can imagine what kind of punishment they will suffer from the Earl of Cansville.

Not to mention how the Earl of Cansville, who was a bit mean, punished, even if his conscience found that there was no punishment and a simple reprimand, it would be quite an ugly thing for them.

"No way! We can only report to the Earl truthfully, and we must tell the Earl the truth of the matter without moving, and I believe that the Earl will be more angry at our concealment and shirking responsibility than the fugitive escapes. ”

With that, he looked at the other knights and asked for their opinions, after all, this proposal needs everyone's opinion.

At this time, under the walls of Isamdenburg, Ariel had been lifted by this group of sentinels on the big shield and carried to the tent.

Among the seven soldiers who came out together, in addition to the sword and shield soldiers, there were also four pikemen, who had no shields at all.

But when they faced the rain of arrows just now, no one was dead on their hands.

Because the armor on their bodies is no longer as strong as the arrows that are not strong and have not yet reached the distance can cause damage.

Although each of them was hit by one or two arrows, the maximum was to cause some slight damage to their armor, and they didn't even need to overhaul it.

At this time, William had not yet woken up, and it was not easy for them to disturb at will, because they did not know the specific value of this person.

Although they were surprised by the gender of this person, because of the accusation, they still brought back everything around her with a very responsible person, and this included the well-made crossbow.

Not daring to wake William, they hurried to the doctor's tent to seek the doctor's help, because the blood on Ariel's body was still draining, and it was obvious that the blood loss was very serious.

And the next morning, when William got up, of course, he received the news, and when he saw the crossbow sent by the sentries, he was not calm for a moment.

"Crossbow?"

"It's a crossbow!"

William looked at the crossbow that was placed on the table in front of him, which was about more than ninety centimeters, and looked a little excited.

It can be clearly seen that this crossbow is not the somewhat backward crossbow used in Western Europe in his previous life, but an exceptionally sophisticated crossbow that can really be compared to the crossbow of the Celestial Empire.

"Oh my God, if you really want to sleep, I'll send you a pillow!"

William couldn't hide the surprise in his heart, and rubbed his hands together, just like the landowner in the countryside saw the coveted title deed.

For the recurve compound bow, of course, he is very satisfied, as the wisdom from the Celestial Empire, the power is also quite powerful, in his opinion, the power of the recurve compound bow even dismantled the English longbow, there are not so many user requirements.

However, the bow and arrow still have its limitations, and it can deal less damage against well-equipped enemies, such as enemy knights.

In many cases, the recurve compound bow can indeed cause a lot of damage to the enemy's infantry and even armed infantry, but it is a little powerless in the face of heavy infantry and knights in heavy armor.

Therefore, he had long wanted to form a crossbow army, but due to technical limitations, crossbows were never manufactured.
