Chapter 232: The Battle Will Be Settled
In such a chaotic situation, the musketeers were completely useless.
Too dense a crowd and the presence of me in the enemy make the musket, which is not very accurate, lose the space to use it, and if you are not careful in this situation, you are likely to accidentally injure your own soldiers, in which case the musketeer is as likely to kill his own people as he is to kill the enemy.
After a little consideration, Asami made a new decision, asking the musketeer to abandon his ranged attack and draw his sword to join hand-to-hand combat.
In such a big scuffle, the fifty soldiers said more and more and said less, and could hardly have any effect, and soon mixed into the chaos and could not be found.
"Where did they get so many people?"
Standing on the high bridge, Randy, who was protected by the group, complained, "If I had known this was the case, I should have formed a larger fleet and let hundreds, or even the entire Norman warship, escort me." ”
As he said this, the Emperor aimed at a pirate who was charging towards him with a fierce shot, knocking him down with a single shot, and so far fifteen powder packets had been used.
At a distance of 10 meters, Randy fired no bullets, killing fourteen enemies in a row and accidentally injuring one friendly soldier.
This is the result he has obtained so far, and Sonia and Nemulis, two big inner masters, stand on either side of Randy, both holding a throwing knife in their hands, when Randy is not making a mistake, these two are as if they don't exist, but once Randy makes a mistake, he misses, jams, and a large number of throwing knives will fly towards the enemy overwhelmingly.
Not far from Randy, Artoria, who had turned into a humanoid storm, sliced at least thirty Barbary pirates into pieces, and with the combination of the queen's extreme strength and perfect moves, no matter how her opponent reacted, there was only one end to blocking, counterattacking, dodging, and the final result was only one, that is, being chopped by the sword of victory and contract in Artoria's hands, and the internal organs, blood, brains, and other messy things splattered everywhere, making the queen look like a demon god.
Artoria's style greatly encouraged the surrounding crusaders, and soon dozens of soldiers gathered around her, forming a small array centered on her, and began to effectively kill and damage the enemy.
"It's going on like this!" Artoria complained about chopping an enemy to the ground, while holding her sword in one hand and the mast next to her in the other, raising her body into the air and looking around, while also attracting a lot of enemy fire, but it was nothing to Artoria with the cursed armor.
Soon Her Royal Highness shook her head in disappointment, jumped onto the deck and began to continue to cut people, in this chaotic scene, and it was still night, it was obviously impossible to find the leader of the enemy, or the leader of the enemy had not yet appeared.
In fact, it was similar to what Artoria thought, when the war of the HMS Victory was in full swing, Haireddin, who was a little far away, and a group of personal guards around him, had just swam to the side of the HMS Victory, and were about to start climbing the side of the ship.
"Don't worry about anything else when you get to the ship, follow me to catch the other party's emperor!"
"Understood, Boss!"
"Damn it!" Randy angrily withdrew the musket in his hand, the last bullet actually missed, this is really unlucky, twenty gunpowder packs and lead projectiles are all exhausted, this will be if someone comes again, Randy can only engage in hand-to-hand combat, in addition, Randy continues to use the musket to attack, the violent noise and smoke also reveal Randy's location to a certain extent, after a period of judgment and shouting, many Barbary pirates have confirmed the news, the Norman emperor, is in that direction.
"Let's step back a bit!"
Seeing more and more enemies around him, Randy began to become cautious, and the soldiers immediately protected the emperor and retreated to the bridge, and the archers set up strong crossbows and longbows, and then guarded by the knights of the guard in full plate armor, so that it was safe.
"How's it going?"
Just now, they didn't participate in the battle, and the monarchs of several countries who stayed on the bridge saw Randy retreating, and hurriedly stepped forward to ask.
"It's hard to tell for a while, but don't worry, it's safe here!" Randy said.
But before he could finish speaking, he saw that the surrounding glass windows shattered with a snap, and several Barbary pirates swung over with ropes from the opposite mast.
"Bastard!"
Randy was so angry that he bent his body, and a flash of knife flashed and slit the necks of the two Barbary pirates, and the third Barbary pirate saw that the situation was not good, and one rolled to the side, and was kicked over by the Burgundian king Charles, swinging the chain hammer and bursting his brain.
"Looks like it's not safe here anymore!"
Several other kings' guards immediately drew their weapons to guard the surroundings, Bavarian Henry snorted lightly, and then was pushed by the guards beside him, and a sharp arrow shot towards the place where he was standing, and the cluster of arrows was deeply embedded in the wooden plank behind him, if it were not for the sharp eyes of the duke's guards, I am afraid that this duke would have gone west.
Henry got up from the ground and turned to look at the bow and arrow that trembled slightly, his face pale.
"Your Majesty, it's too dangerous here, let's go back to the cabin first!" Wallenstein, who was also frightened enough to choke on Henry's side, said.
"I'm not leaving! I'm going to fight those heretics to the death! Henry roared loudly, much to Wallenstein's embarrassment.
"That's right, we'd better go back to the cabin first, I don't think you want to die here, right? We haven't even seen the shadow of the Holy Land yet. ”
"Your Majesty is right!" On the other side, Attila, the king of Hungary, also agreed, including Albrecht, Duke of Brandenburg, and Lucivid, Duke of Hesse.
"Are you scared? Are you kings like that? How to lead the army in the future? ”
But Henry was so excited that Randy wondered.
Did this old guy take the wrong medicine today? This offended five kings at once!
But soon Henry relented: "I'm very sorry, I talked too much, let's go." ”
"None of you can leave!"
At this time, the half-baked Norman, blood-stained and smoky Hayreddin jumped in through the broken glass window, accompanied by two other sturdy Barbary pirates.
"Surrender obediently! Emperor Randy! I'm not going to kill you. As he said this, Hyreddin slashed over a Hessian guard, and Randy's Guard knight charged at him.
"Damn tin can!" Hyreddin scolded angrily, lowered his head and flashed the knight's tomahawk, grabbed the wrist of the knight of the guard with his other hand and shook it hard, and threw out the knight of the guard, who weighed more than two hundred pounds with armor.
"Stop him! Let the kings go first! Nemulis roared and threw out four throwing knives, followed by a dagger, one straight and one reversed, and charged towards Hayreddin, only to be stopped by another Barbary pirate.
"Nobody, get out of the way!" Nemulis fights the pirates.
"As I said, none of you can do it." As Hayreddin's words fell, three more Barbary pirates jumped into the bridge and fought with other guards, and the soldiers in charge of guarding outside the bridge heard that something was wrong, and immediately poured into the bridge, and the guards at the stairs suddenly became a lot more relaxed, and a group of Barbary pirates saw the opportunity and began to launch a fierce attack.
Randy stabbed with a knife with one hand, challenged the tesuji of the enemy attacking him, stepped forward and cut a cross, directly pulling out the opponent's heart.
"I can't imagine that the Norman emperor is so good at war, but it's a pity that in this way, I may not be able to guarantee the safety of His Majesty's life."
"You'd better take care of yourself first!" Randy stepped forward and engaged Hayreddin amid the exclamations of the knights of the Guard.
This may be the first time, and most likely the last, that Randy has encountered and fought a legendary opponent on the battlefield, and before that, Randy had also encountered situations where he had to go to battle in person, like the berserkers he encountered in the War to Unify Norway, the attack on Great Britain by Artoria, the Iron Cavalry, the war with the United Kingdom of Poland and Lithuania, and the recent surprise attack on the Roman legions on a rainy night......
However, in recent times, Randy's territory has become more and more expanded, with more and more people, and more and more warriors have worked for Randy, so it is becoming less and less common for Randy, the commander of the three armies, to go to the battlefield in person.
This aspect shows the strength and splendor of the Norman Empire!
On the other hand, it is also caused by Randy's fear of death and his desire to stay away from danger.
It's like when he was on deck before, Randy shot black guns in the back, and when he ran out of bullets, he retreated, and when he retreated to the bridge and found that it was also unsafe, it was like retreating into the cabin of a ship.
This is a problem, Randy is afraid of death, but he can't let anyone know about it.
The current West does not have the traditional virtues of Eastern civilization, where the son of a daughter does not sit in the court.
Contrary to the situation that the emperor of the Central Plains civilization almost never leaves the national capital, and the people worship the wise generals rather than the brave. From the Trojan War to the Crusades, from the Crusades to the Sixty Years' War, from the Sixty Years' War to the Second World War, people worship heroes, worship the brave who dare to charge into battle and fight in close quarters, and consider bravery to be the best quality of human beings, while despising all those who dare not fight to the death, they call such people cowards.
Randy doesn't want to be given such a title by people, and follow the local customs, since Randy is in the West, he should act according to the thinking of this civilization circle, so at this moment, no matter how reluctant Randy is, he must step forward and compete with this legendary pirate, Hayreddin.
Dazzling knives!
Wonderful moves!
The Norman Emperor used all his strength at this moment, intending to kill the opponent's enemy, the move was extremely fast, and the angle of the move was extremely weird, and the onlookers only felt that the phantom was flying on the battlefield, and Randy's figure became blurry, and they couldn't see it clearly anyway.
"I've never heard of it before, the emperor's skills are so good!" The guards and knights who were already in their own hands were all secretly admired, thinking that Randy could control the scene by himself and didn't need to go to the rescue at all, so they turned around and fought with a few other Barbary pirates.
But this will seem to have the upper hand of Randy, but he can't say bitterly, although he suppressed the opponent with his advantage in speed and moves, but he has not been determined to cross the world for decades, and he is not a dry meal, although he is suppressed by Randy at the moment, but it is very difficult for Randy to defeat him.
Although the other party can't compare to Randy in terms of speed, but in terms of strength, the pirate king has been on the battlefield for a long time, and now he is at a disadvantage but he is not in danger, cautiously guarding the key points around him, and occasionally counterattacking with a move, the powerful scimitar is cut down, making Randy's wrist feel numb.
In addition to the disadvantage in strength, Randy also has a very fatal weakness, that is, he does not dare to fight hard!
Randy finally got a second life, and he still has a good youth, how can he die with a pirate? Although it was like a storm on the offensive, the strength was left three points, and he couldn't go all out, and even several times Randy was about to succeed by aiming at the opponent's vital point, but the bastard saw that Randy didn't dare to fight hard, and he didn't dodge at all, and slashed Randy's face with a scimitar, and the Norman Emperor exposed the third shortcoming at this time, the lack of actual combat experience, if the soldiers who were older than the battle formation saw Hayreddin like this, maybe they would also plan and look at Hellreddin, who was wide open, Teach him a lesson while defending with skill, and while it won't kill him, it will still hurt Hayreddin.
But Hereddin didn't know all this, seeing the other party's aggressive posture and ending up together, Randy panicked, and hurriedly retreated, his nature of being afraid of death exposed.
Back and forth, Randy's original fast-paced offensive caused his physical strength to drain quickly, which would have been a little vain and unsustainable, but the opposite Hayreddin survived this most dangerous time and began to fight back, waving his scimitar, one move after another, like a stormy wave, so that Randy was exhausted to deal with it, and retreated again and again, seeing that he was about to be forced into a corner, and then saw Hayreddin's pupils shrink sharply, and he also took a step back.
"Despicable villain!"
The pirate king Hayreddin gritted his teeth and snorted coldly, which made Randy a little stunned, he is indeed a despicable villain, yes, but it doesn't seem to have time to be despicable to you, what's going on?
Hyreddin then took two steps back, blocked with a scimitar in his hand, and choked, and Randy saw clearly that it was a flying knife shot at Hyreddin, it was Sonya, who had not moved just now, and saw that his master was about to lose, so he came to help.
Another killer and bodyguard, Nemulis, was surrounded by more Barbary pirates who entered the bridge one after another, and he was too busy to take care of himself, these pirates were all direct subordinates of Hayreddin, and their personal strength was extremely strong, and at the same time, they fought at sea all year round, and were very familiar with this small-scale melee fighting, on the other hand, the guards, guard knights and killers on the side of the Crusader coalition were certainly skilled, but they were not familiar with sea combat, although there were more people, but they could not destroy the enemy as soon as possible.
"Well done, Sonya!" Randy sneered secretly, pulled forward again, and launched an attack on Hayreddin, this time Sonya, who had not joined the battle, also joined the battle, and fought against Hayreddin with Randy, although the cooperation between the two sides was very rusty, but the two people were stronger than one person anyway, and after a while, the two people felt that they could not cooperate with the attack on the same side, and it was better to fight alone, so Sonia pulled back, and one turned to the back of Hayreddin, and Randy launched a flank attack one after the other.
Under the front and back attacks of Randy and Sonya, Hayreddin gradually began to be unable to support it, with more and more wounds on his body, and the long-term battle gradually began to wear down the energy and will of the Barbary Pirate King, which was different from the disadvantage when Randy fought before, at that time, Hyreddin was patient, and he was still full of confidence in victory, but not now, Hyreddin was already very good if he could save his life.
