Chapter 35: First Shot
The rapid sound of the bell rang out, and Abel was taken aback, picked up a compound bow and quiver, and ran quickly towards the gate of the castle, passing by the square, the people in the square were a little panicked, and did not know what was happening. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Ascending the parapet from the side staircase next to the parapet, I saw that the Marshall knight in armor was already standing there, and there were more than twenty guards with spears in their hands.
Seeing Abel's arrival, the Marshall knight said with some concern: "Abel, why did you come up, it's dangerous here, you go back to the castle first." ”
Abel glanced out of the parapet and as soon as he poked his head out, an arrow came at him, and he quickly retracted his head and shot through the flying arrow.
But just now, Abel had already seen nearly twenty orcs outside the wall, some were wolf cavalry, and some were minotaurs riding on fire and running for bulls.
"How could there be any orcs here?" Abel asked, somewhat surprised.
"There are about two or three squads of orcs here, and with these forces they have the strength to attack the castle. Marshall Knight sneered, and continued, "They underestimate Harry Castle too much. ”
"What about the archers, do you just let them show off their might outside?" Abel was a little annoyed when he had just been shot.
"There are only five archers in the castle, and the difference in archery is too great, and two archers have already been wounded, they are no match for these wolf cavalrymen who have been using bows and arrows for many years, and I have ordered them not to fight back. Marshall Knight pointed to the two guards lying by the parapet, and said with a mocking expression, "The parapet of Harry's castle is not something these guys can break, they have chosen the wrong place." ”
"You have a bow in your hand?" said Marshall Knight when he discovered the compound bow in Abel's hand, and looked at the strange appearance of the compound bow with some doubts.
"It's just done, and it's good. Abel picked up the compound bow in his hand with some ostentatiousness, in this era of backward technology, it took countless efforts to create such a long-range weapon that surpassed the times, and he couldn't explain it to others, at this time, Marshall's knight's inquiry made Abel want to show off a little, but he just responded with a reserved and faint sentence.
The Marshall Knight had taken the compound bow, and his years of experience in using weapons had given him a general idea of how to use the bow after looking at it.
He took out an arrow from the quiver in Abel's hand, put it on the quiver, looked at the hair scatterer, and couldn't help but smile and said to Abel: "Your design is very good, you don't use the power of your fingers, but the power of your wrists, and you can pull the bowstring with almost no training." Then he found the small trigger on it, looked at it carefully, and said, "No wonder you will become a master blacksmith, this little design can easily fire a bow and arrow without hurting your fingers." ”
The most difficult reason for archers to train is that each archer can only shoot 30 to 40 arrows at a time and have to rest, and the archers' fingers are the most susceptible to injury, once injured, they can no longer use the bow and arrow, and people with bow and arrow talent are difficult to find, so there are many guards in the castle, but the bow art is very rare.
The Marshall knight put the hair scatterer on his wrist and pulled the bowstring hard, and with a pull, the bowstring was only pulled a little, and then the white fighting spirit on the Marshall knight's body flashed, and the bow was completely opened.
The Marshall knight couldn't help but be a little surprised by the strength of this bow, he thought it would be easy to pull it away when he exerted his force just now, and it only took eighty percent of the force, but he knew that after pulling it away a little, he was powerless to continue, but fortunately he burst into vindictiveness, or he would be embarrassed in front of his adopted son, and the intermediate knight couldn't even pull the bow away, in case Bennett knew, it would laugh at him for the rest of his life.
Then the Marshall knight noticed another thing that surprised him, and after pulling it away, he kept it in shape, this bow can be held for a long time with very little force, he opened his eyes and looked at Abel and asked, "How is this bow?"
For a moment, the Marshall knight didn't know how to ask, everything about this bow broke his perception of the bow, and then the knight thought of so many targets outside, and first tried the power of this bow.
The Marshall knight flashed through the battlements of the parapet, aimed his bow and arrow at one of the wolf cavalrymen, and with a press of the trigger, the arrow flew over the head of the wolf cavalry.
The orcs under the parapet saw an arrow coming at them and were about to dodge, but the arrow was so fast that before they could react, the arrow had already fired, but the arrow did not hit any orcs, but flew over the head of a wolf cavalryman.
"Whoa~whoa~whoa~" The orcs outside the parapet howled and pointed at the Marshall Knight and laughed, and a minotaur threw a flying axe at the Marshall Knight, but was caught by the Marshall Knight.
The Marshall knight threw the axe he had caught on the ground, turned to Abel and said, "Why didn't this bow hit?"
Abel stepped forward and pointed to the sight on the bow and said, "This bow has just been built, and it has only been tested at a distance of 50 meters, and this bow is a straight line attack at a distance of 50 meters. ”
Marshall Knight knew why he couldn't shoot when he heard it, he was based on previous experience, the bow and arrow are aimed a little above the target, so that when the bow and arrow fly out, there will be a parabola, just to hit the enemy, but this bow and arrow is a straight line attack at a certain distance, so his aim just now is not empty.
Another arrow was taken out of the quiver, the Marshall knight pulled out his bow, listened to the ridicule outside, once again poked out of the battlement, aimed at the most laughing minotaur, the trigger was pressed, and an arrow appeared on the minotaur's head almost the moment the Marshall knight let go, the minotaur's head was like a broken watermelon, and the huge penetrating force opened a hole the size of a fist in the minotaur's head, and then the arrow did not stop, and flew to the chest of a wolf cavalryman behind, and pierced deeply.
The orcs panicked, no one thought that the archers who had just shot in the air, but this attack was killing two birds with one stone.
"Arrows!" the Marshall knight held out his hand to Abel.
Able hurriedly took out an arrow from his quiver and handed it to the Marshall knight.
The Marshall knight drew his bow again, and the orcs were all about 50 to 60 meters away from the parapet, and almost as long as the bow was straightened and the crosshairs were aligned, the Marshall knight pressed the trigger again, and another orc fell to the ground.
Without saying much, Abel directly took out another arrow and sent it to the Marshall Knight, who then shot three arrows in a row, and six orcs had fallen on the ground outside the castle, and the remaining orcs were already frightened, and quickly turned around and ran.
The Marshall knight did not let them go, and took an arrow from Abel's hand, the Minotaur mounted explosive force is not as good as the wolf cavalry, at this time the remaining behind the team are the Minotaurs, the Marshall Knight aimed at the last Minotaur, at this time the Minotaur has rushed out of the distance of ten meters, 70 meters away, the Marshall Knight secretly calculated, the bow in his hand is still aimed horizontally, and it is not a parabola, the knight thinks that it will shoot lower, and it will also thank the mount, and the minotaur can also leave the Minotaur behind, and the Minotaur without a mount will not be able to run the bow in his hand。
At a distance of 70 meters, he was hit by another arrow in the head, and the minotaur fell to the ground.
Get on the arrow, aim, 80 meters away, press the trigger, and the minotaur falls to the ground.
Load the arrow again, aim, 90 meters away, press the trigger, and the minotaur falls to the ground.
Pick up the arrow again, aim, 100 meters away, press the trigger, and another minotaur falls to the ground.
The minotaur who ran at the end had reached a distance of about 110 meters, loaded the arrow again, pressed the trigger, this time the arrow hit the minotaur in the neck, and the Marshall knight glanced at the scale on the sight, and then the next scale of the sight was about to be used.
The minotaur had been killed, and the wolf cavalry had already run to a distance of 150 meters at the slowest pace, and the Marshall knight put another arrow on the arrow platform, aimed it at the wolf cavalry with the second scale of the sight, pressed the trigger, and was hit by the head again, and the wolf cavalry was thrown directly to the ground from the wolf by the huge impact.
At this time, the wolf cavalry had already discovered the horror of the archers, and had already made a move to dodge the arrows, huddled on the side of the wolf, and their bodies were completely blocked by the wolf.
The Marshall knight put down the bow and arrow in his hand, for a knight, take the initiative to kill the opponent's mount on the battlefield, unless he is helpless, he will do so, and the current Marshall knight is already twelve points satisfied with the results he has achieved.
