Stopping Arold was an old, gray-haired peasant soldier, his face covered with the ravines carved by time, dressed in a gray coarse linen garment, and holding in both hands something wrapped in coarse linen, whom Arold knew as a peasant soldier in the village of Black Marsh, Sir Wendell's domain, and Chodo, who was known as the coward.

"Jodor, what are you stopping me for?" Arrod asked curiously, at this time, this Chodo, who was known as a coward, looked calm and did not have the same fear and anxiety as the other peasant soldiers, he just picked up the items in his hand.

"Lord Arrod, I'll give this to you, maybe you'll need it." Chodo handed the item in his hand to Arrod, the item was about a meter long, and it fell heavily in Arrod's hand, and Arold made a surprised sound when he curiously opened the coarse linen wrapped in it.

"This is a crossbow, how can it be in your hand?" Arold looked at the crossbow in his hand, the main body of the crossbow is wooden, the total length is about 0.6-1 meters, the whole structure includes the base, hanging iron, hanging strings, bows, crossbow holders, board machines, strings and pedals, in addition to the crossbow, Jodo also handed Arold three crossbow arrows, crossbow arrows are shorter than bows and arrows, and the arrow feathers are made of leather, Jodo told Arold to step on the pedals when using the crossbow, pull the bowstring back with his hand, and then put the crossbow arrows into the crossbow groove, and then lift the crossbow to aim at the target and pull the trigger.

"It's to repay you for your kindness to me and my daughter." Jodonna looked at Arrod numbly, he didn't explain why he had a weapon like a crossbow, and Arold didn't have time to ask at this time.

"Thank you, I'll use it well." Arold took the crossbow and said sincerely to Chodo, and from Jodo's eyes, Arold could see that this was a man with a very good story.

Arold stuck the crossbow arrow on the leather belt around his waist and carried the crossbow behind his back, his already desperate mind was alive again, he might not have any way to face the knights of the inner palace of the Count of Belengal, but now with this crossbow, he can find a way to defeat the Count of Berengal.

The crossbow is a weapon that puts the bow horizontally on the base of the trigger, China has a powerful crossbow as early as 500 BC, and Europe has gradually popularized it since the 10th century, but it is said that in the 4th century BC there have been traces of crossbows in Greece, one of the characteristics of the crossbow is that it is easy to get started, and it does not need to go through long-term training.

As he walked towards the position in front of him, Arrod remembered the information he had read, the power of the crossbow was second to none in the bow and arrow, and there was a record of shooting through plate armor from a distance of 300 meters. The maximum flight distance of the crossbow is 300-350 meters, which is to some extent the farthest bow shot. However, the distance at which it can be effectively hit is not much different from that of the English longbow, and the power of the crossbow comes from the stiff bowstring and body that cannot be pulled by the hand. If you can't pull your hands, you have to use the pedals or some kind of tool to pull the bowstring.

However, the crossbow also has its own drawbacks, and its most fatal drawback is that it takes time to draw the bow and cannot be fired continuously. It takes at least 1 minute to load an arrow, and a few minutes if it is a crossbow, such as the one made by the French in the Hundred Years' War against the English longbowmen, who pulled the bowstring from the rear with a gear through the crank in order to fight the English longbowmen. And the kind of crossbow that Chodo handed Arold was a kind of heavy crossbow with leather pedals in the front to pull the bowstring, but for Arrod, as long as it was at enough distance and time, he needed someone who could tacitly cooperate with him.

"Ah~~~." Yves held the big sword in his hand, he couldn't remember how much he wielded it, the knight of the Count of Berengar in front of him was also a master of using swords, a knight in chain mail, wearing chain mail gloves with four fingers together on his arms, and a bulky bottle helmet on his head, if it weren't for the family coat of arms on the two of them, it would really be difficult to distinguish the two knights who were both wearing chain mail.

"Hmm." At this moment of melee, it is impossible for any swordsmanship to be unleashed, the knights can only rely on brute force, slashing horizontally and vertically to desperately suppress the opponent in front of them, and in the case of a little carelessness, they will stumble because of the corpse or debris under their feet and stumble, in fact, there is no way, the knights wearing heavy bottle helmets have limited vision, they can not see their feet at all, they can only move their feet carefully, bend their knees as much as possible to shift the center of gravity down.

"Ping-pong." Yves in front of the knight of the Count of Berengar tripped over the corpse under his feet, raised his sword and slashed at the knight's head from above, only to hear the sword slash on the knight's helmet with a loud sound, Yves's opponent seemed to be stunned by this blow, he shook his head desperately to keep himself awake, the bulky bottle helmet saved his life, although Yve's sword did not kill him, but the knight of the Count of Berengar slowed down.

"Poof." Taking advantage of this opportunity, Yves stepped forward and clamped the knight's head with his strong arm, he pulled out a short sword from his waist and stabbed the tip of the sword through the gap at the bottom of the uncovered helmet, blood flowed out, and the knight's voice came from the helmet, the tip of the short sword cut his throat, and when Yves let go of him, the knight fell to his knees, and his hands pulled weakly at his neck a few times, and his whole body fell to the ground like a half-stake.

"Whew, whew, whew." Eves was panting, his hair soaked with sweat and his helmet was stuffy and hot, but he was surrounded by enemy knights and he didn't dare to lift his mask to breathe, if he didn't have the protection of his bulky bottle helmet, someone would have chopped him in the head, or an arrow would have hit him deadly or injured.

"Suffer death." Just when Yves was tired from fighting, a knight of the Count of Belengar on foot stabbed Yves with a spear, and the angle he chose happened to be the blind spot behind Yves, and the disadvantages of the bottle helmet were revealed at this time, if he was stabbed by a sharp spear, he would definitely be able to pierce Yves's chain mail at close range with the strength of the knight's arm, and at this critical moment, only a bowstring sounded.

"Ahh Yves heard the screams behind him, and hurriedly turned around with his sword across his chest, and he saw a knight of the Count of Belengar wearing chain mail standing on the spot, the knight's chest was not filled with an arrow, and the arrow feathers of the arrow were exposed outside the knight's robe, and seemed to be trembling slightly, Yves immediately realized that he was almost stabbed in the back, but fortunately, the knight who killed the Count of Belengar with a bow and arrow saved his life.

"You're all right, Yves." Just when Yves felt inexplicable, Arold pushed away the soldiers who were crowded together, and there was a little red blood on his blouse, which was the blood of the soldiers on both sides of the enemy who had been splashed on this part of the journey, and Arold was holding a crossbow in his hand, and when Yves saw the crossbow, he immediately thought that Arold had just saved him.

"Where did you get the crossbow?" Ifs clenched his broadsword and forced several of the knights of the Earl of Berengar back, and he waved his greatsword and said to Arrod with an urn from his helmet.

"Leave this alone, I've got something for you to do." Dodging the enemy's spears, Arold approached Yves and told him, and while Ive pushed back the knights of the Earl of Berengar, Sir Ebel's light infantry swarmed up to fill the broken line.

"What do you want me to do?" Yves did not ask Arold what he wanted to do, knowing that his clever brother must have a way to deal with the attack of the Count of Berengar, and when Yves saw that the light infantry had driven away the enemy in this section, he stopped wielding his great sword, and he unveiled his helmet, which was as uncomfortable as a steamer.

"Follow me." Arold didn't explain, he beckoned to Yves and walked towards the edge of the left flank of the battlefield, on the lookout Arod had already observed the position of the Count of Berengar, but there were more than thirty knights around the Count of Berengal, it was impossible to get close to the assassination, yes, Arold had already thought of the strategy of capturing the thief and capturing the king first, in the case of such a huge disparity in the strength of the enemy and me, only the assassination of the main general could solve the current crisis, and the range of the crossbow provided by Chodo was more than 300 meters, It can be used to assassinate the Count of Belengal, but it is not easy to get close to the Count of Berengal at a distance of three hundred meters, and there are many town militias in attacking positions in between.

"How? Did Arold find your brother? Sir Abel was also waiting on the left flank, and Arold had already sent someone to inform Sir Abel of his intentions that he needed a strong warrior to break through the town militia of the Earl of Berengal.

"Come, Sir please hand over your knight of the Inner House to me for temporary use, we will break through the enemy's defenses, as long as we reach within three hundred meters of the Earl of Berengar, I will be able to shoot the Count of Berengar with a crossbow." Arold clenched his crossbow and said to Sir Able.

"Okay, Arrod, I'll go with you." Sir Able said to Arrod.

"No, Lord Sir, you have to appease the soldiers here, if you and your banner are gone, the soldiers will surely collapse." Arold shook his head, he didn't want the Earl of Berengar to find out Sir Abel's whereabouts, then the Earl would inevitably mobilize knights to besiege him.

"Okay, be careful." Sir Able's handsome face was tired at this time, and he was tormented by fatigue and inner anxiety, and when he encountered such a crisis when he led the army for the first time, he should be more calm and calm as a commander, and believed that after the battlefield battle in County Cliff, Sir Able would grow a lot.

"The knights come with me." Arold glanced around at the dozen or so knights gathered around him, their armor was torn in many places, each looking tired and out of breath, but they were all ready to obey Arrod's call at Sir Abel's orders.
