Chapter 53: Suta
If it weren't for Barron's explanation, and the insistence of Heather, Mrs. Cellley, and others, Lardy would not have taken the seriously wounded of the two convoys with him, let alone the young man in front of him.
However, it was the luck of this young man, originally Barron only asked them to break through with the two seriously injured in the escort.
But I didn't expect that Heather and Mrs. Celli were very likely to be scholars as young people, and it was possible that they were scholars who were hunted down by the forces of Earl Harold, and in line with the view that the enemy of the enemy is a friend, of course, they had to protect the breakthrough together.
Anyway, protecting two is protection, and protecting three is also protection, so I piggybacked him.
As a result, now the other party woke up when they were most critical, and when they woke up, it was okay to lie in the carriage obediently, and they actually came out to shake, and Laddy was really about to be angry.
But apparently the young man in front of him did not have this awareness, and did not notice Raddy's anger at all, and then said slowly: "My name is Suta!"
"I don't care what your name is, you're asking what you want to do?" Lardy asked.
"You don't know me?"
"Why should I know you?" Looking at Suta's look of how you should know me, Laddy really wanted to fight an infighting to kill the other party.
Suta looked at Laddy and was also depressed for a while, and he remembered that this was no longer the city of the end that he was familiar with, nor was it the city of the end that he was familiar with.
So he pointed directly to the bow and arrow that had not been used once on Radi's mount and said, "Can you lend me this?"
Laddy looked at the pale, weak Suta, smiled and said, "It's better for you to stay in the carriage!"
Suta saw that Laddy politely rejected him, and he was not depressed.
"Here you go!" Heather appeared before them at some point, and gave Suta a bow and a pot of arrows.
Heather didn't know why, but he would give his bow and arrows to a person who looked very weak, maybe Heather felt that he didn't know how to use it himself, or maybe he thought that there would be one more person who could draw a bow and shoot arrows, and it would be good to help distract the enemy.
But when he saw this young man named Suta, with the bow and arrow he had just lent to the other party, he hit the enemy in succession. He felt that this was one of the most correct decisions Yezi had made since it had been surrounded by horse bandits.
Although Suta only shot 4 arrows in total, these 4 arrows not only killed 4 horse bandits, but also stabilized the entire team.
Because Suta's feathered arrows are not only as simple as killing one person with one arrow, but each of his arrows is just right, either eliminating the leader of the opponent's attack, or shooting the organizer when the opponent reorganizes the offensive.
After being interrupted several times in a row when Carter's cavalry squad was about to launch an offensive first, he finally felt that something was wrong. But by this time, the situation of the battle had slowly changed.
Whenever Carter led the cavalry to change the current situation and regain the initiative in the war, there was always an arrow from nowhere that interrupted their thoughts.
Gradually, the mercenaries hired by the Heather Chamber of Commerce and the Celli Chamber of Commerce also found that the horse bandits who had caused them more and more pressure slowly could no longer make them feel pressure, and they actually fought each other several times in a row, from the original big defeat and loss, to the current evenly matched.
And they all knew that all this change came from the young man in the carriage.
However, the people of the Chamber of Commerce are at a disadvantage in number because of the large casualties in front of them, and their coordination and personal ability are not as good as the cavalry led by Carter, and now they can maintain their balance by relying on Suta's bow and arrows.
But after all, Suta's serious injury has not healed, and others may not have noticed, but Raddie, who stayed next to him, saw it clearly.
Although Sutar was still shooting arrows, the frequency of archery was getting lower and lower, and with each arrow, it took him longer and longer to recover his trembling hands, and the only trace of blood on his face had become extremely pale at this time.
"How long can you hold out!?" Heather asked, looking at Suta, whose hands were trembling.
Suta glanced at Radi, took a breath, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead with his trembling left hand, and then said:
"Up to 3 arrows, I have not healed from a serious injury in front of me, and now I can only shoot 3 more arrows at most!"
Heather looked at the town of Yez not far away, and at this time the town of Yez had already ignited a huge fire, and from a distance, it seemed as if half of the town was on fire, and the billowing smoke was estimated to be visible thousands of feet away.
"I hope it's in time!" Heather muttered to herself.
Sutar didn't know what Heather was waiting for, all he could do was let every arrow he shot inflict the most damage on his enemies.
When Sutar shot the last second arrow, he heard Heather beside him say, "Here it is!"
Suta looked back, only to see that someone rushed out of the south gate of Yezi Town at this time, and this time it was no longer mercenaries or chamber of commerce guards, noble private soldiers, but a group of ordinary townspeople, a group of ordinary townspeople with up to a thousand people.
This group of townspeople, numbering more than 1,000 people, was immediately dispersed by the Carter cavalry and the mercenaries of the two chambers of commerce who were blocking the main road to the west province of Kensas.
Even if dozens of people are elite troops, they encounter the impact of thousands of people at once, and without preparation, there is no second possibility except to be taken away like a drift.
In fact, although the cavalry of Carter led had already discovered these townspeople, because of the deliberate containment of the mercenaries of the two chambers of commerce instructed by Heather, the cavalry of Carter did not have enough time to react, and was finally completely dispersed by the crowd.
Otherwise, once Carter's cavalry reacted and got out of the battle with the mercenaries of the Chamber of Commerce, most of the people of the Chamber of Commerce might be able to escape, but at least more than half of the townspeople who fled could not escape the pursuit of the horse bandit cavalry.
Because there are still a large number of horse bandits in the town and the other three gates. A townsman who had only two legs to travel could not outrun a cavalry with a war horse.
Therefore, the two chambers of Heather and Cellly, although they were scattered by the townspeople, like Carter's cavalry, were exactly what they expected.
Because the mercenaries of the Chamber of Commerce are not as good as Carter's cavalry, chaotic warfare is their forte.
In this way, Heather and the others were not only able to break through the encirclement, but also delay the rest of the enemy's cavalry team learning about what happened at the south gate, so that the rest of the cavalry team's pursuit time could be delayed as much as possible.
Not only did they have more time to escape, but it also gave the ordinary townspeople who fled from the South Gate more time to escape.
