Chapter 228: Fierce Battle
After the first arrow hit the back of the lively Walter Clarke, Sir Augustine had jumped off his horse when he heard his daughter's cry, and forcibly dragged the two horses back into the field on the right side of the road.
When the second arrow was blocked by his daughter's sword, Sir had drawn his two-handed knight's sword from his waist and rushed back from the field. As he rushed onto the road, he watched as Walter's father, Thomas Clarke, fell to the ground after being shot in the calf of his left calf with a third arrow.
I saw my daughter Isabel holding a short sword in both hands, blocking in front of Thomas and vigilantly observing the surroundings. Jazz hurriedly crouched down, crept over to the bookkeeper's side and whispered, "Thomas, how are your legs?" ”
Thomas endured the severe pain, nodded and struggled and said, "Sir, I just hurt my calf." However, my son ......"
"I'll take care of your son. Now, can you climb into the farmland in front of you on your own? ”
"Thank you, sir, I can."
Sir continued to crouch on the ground and walked up to his daughter, observing a tree not far from the left of the road, and whispered, "Isabel, do you see where the arrow came from?" ”
With her legs slightly bent and her weight lowered, Isabel still looked at the woods, fields, and grass in front of her left and said, "I don't see it." The three arrows were shot down from mid-air in a parabolic shape, indicating that the opposing longbowmen were using light arrows and were at a great distance from us. ”
"What now? You can't see where the enemy is, and you can't stay here. ”
"Father, if the enemy's sergeants do not rush over, I want to lure the enemy to continue firing arrows at me, and then you rush through the field on the left to cut off their retreat."
"No, it's too dangerous, what do you do if the enemy has four or five longbowmen firing arrows at the same time?" Jazz lowered his voice and tried to stop Isabel's plan.
"Sir, don't worry about me. I can ......" Before he finished speaking, he saw two more arrows flying towards the two of them at high speed appeared in mid-air. Ignoring the arrow that was about to be shot at her, Isabel cried out, "Sir, run!! ”
Sir Augustine was unconvinced, but he quickly got up and followed his daughter, and ran madly towards the northern edge of the woods.
It turned out that when the two arrows flew towards the two of them at high speed, Isabel had already seen several vague figures appear at the edge of the woods. So, when the arrows struck, she couldn't explain to Sir why she wanted to follow her.
The two had just rushed down the road with their swords in hand, when they saw six figures armed with spears, hooked sickles, two-handed swords, maces, tomahawks and shields, and warhammers and shields rushing towards them. In the darkness of the night, Isabel discovers that the other party is wearing not only an iron cuirass and high riding boots, but also a knight's helmet that completely covers his face.
At this point, she had no time to look for the longbowmen who were still hiding in the darkness. Glancing at his father, who was already speeding to his left, he exclaimed, "Sir, watch out for the longbowmen! ”
Without waiting for his father to answer, he rushed to the front two masked knights armed with spears and hooked scythes with sword flowers like crazy. When the spear on the left and the hook and sickle on the right stabbed him in the chest, he immediately dodged the two extremely sharp spear tips with a forward roll. When he got up, he knelt on one leg and slammed the two short swords in his hand into the vital points of the two masked knights' unarmored lower bodies.
Before she could draw her two short swords, the guy with the hammer in her right hand and the round shield in her left raised the hammer in her right hand and smashed it down in the face. Isabel didn't have time to get up or parry with her sword, so she let go of her left hand and discarded a short sword, dodging to the right and hiding in front of the chest of the dead Hook Scythe Knight.
With a "bang......", the opponent's war hammer slammed into the back of the Hook Scythe Knight. Isabel pushed forward with her left hand the body of the Hooked Scythe Knight, followed by her right hand and drew her dagger from her opponent's lower abdomen.
The body of the dead Hook Scythe Knight, under the influence of gravity, pressed its back against the round shield in the left hand of the Warhammer Knight. The Warhammer Knight was caught off guard, crushed to the ground by his own corpses. By the time he struggled to push the body to the left with his shield, Isabel had already rushed up.
The left leg is on the chest of the Warhammer Knight, and the right leg is slightly bent, aiming at the knight's left shoulder socket without armor and a sword. Although this sword did not pierce the vital part of the opponent's upper body, the opponent's left shoulder socket was pierced by her sword on the spot.
Wounded and in excruciating pain, the Warhammer Knight threw away the hammer in her right hand and attempted to grab her dagger with her right hand. Isabelle, of course, couldn't let him do that, and hurriedly took a few steps back. At this moment, she noticed two figures with longbows flashing in the woods behind the knight.
At the same time, the Knight struggled to his feet from the ground, despite the sharp pain in his left shoulder socket and the large amount of blood gushing out. The left shoulder socket was badly wounded, and the round shield was no longer usable, so the Warhammer Knight had to pick up the warhammer with his right hand and staggered over.
At this time, Isabel stood almost in a straight line with the Warhammer Knights and the opposing longbowmen. As she retreated defensively with a dagger, one of the longbowmen in the woods had drawn his bow and fired an arrow at her.
In the nick of time, she hurriedly tilted her body slightly to the right, only to see the arrow lightning to the back of the Warhammer Knight who was facing her. When the Warhammer Knight died at the hands of his own men, Isabel had already pulled out the other dagger that had been discarded from the vital point of the spear knight's lower body.
Sir Augustine, who had killed the masked knight with the longsword on the left side of the battlefield and the two remaining masked men armed with a battle axe and mace, inserted the short sword in his left hand back into the scabbard, bent down and ran to the place where the Warhammer Knight had fallen, picked up the round shield, and attacked the longbowmen in the woods.
She judged that the opponent's longbowman was a longbowman who only knew how to shoot arrows. With his left arm clasped horizontally in front of his chest and a round shield blocking most of his body, he rushed over desperately, and the two longbowmen on the other side of the opponent quickly retreated to the north of the woods in panic.
When she rushed in front of the longbowmen in two or three steps, the two longbowmen stared at her blankly, as if they had forgotten to draw the ordinary longsword hanging from their waists. Almost in the blink of an eye, two longbowmen who had only learned basic swordsmanship fell under her short sword.
When Jazz was about to be unable to resist the powerful mace wielding in the hands of a masked knight, Isabel saw Isabel hold a longbow in her hand, grab an arrow, and pull the bowstring.
Placing the open bowstring on his right cheek, he aimed at the knight who was about to smash Sir Augustine with his mace, and with the three fingers of his right hand, the arrow on the bowstring shot at the target at high speed and steadily.
