Chapter 251: Immigrants from Boer City (3)
Asta nervously ran behind a small dirt bag in the distance, ignoring the dirt on the ground, and lay directly behind the small mountain bag, and many of the caravan's supplies and goods were thrown in front of the pass, in the face of life and death, these goods were trivial.
Bol City and Roya Collar, according to the rumors that Asta had heard before, the former's combat effectiveness was far inferior to the latter, Roya Collar was the barrier in the middle of the Principality of Noah, and the combat effectiveness of the troops had always been quite good, which was why Lord Roa dared to carry out a rebellion plan before, Asta scratched his head a little painfully, and it seemed that the possibility of being able to get rich in the end slipped through his fingers.
There was only one main street at the Rorschach Pass, and the direct terrain gave the cavalry the best chance to charge, and although he did not run long distances, Otto was confident that he would be able to finish off his opponent in a short time.
The cavalry had a natural advantage over the infantry, even if they did not consider the impact of the acceleration of the horses, they only had to bend down and cut off the enemy's heads with their sabers and cut off their limbs, as they usually did in training.
"Shoot the arrows!"
Planck divided the army into two echelons, and the soldiers standing at the front took off their crossbows, these were all soldiers of the personal guard, their tactical literacy was quite high, and after Kiru's training, each of them was undoubtedly accurate, and the Marassa armor on their bodies was not afraid of the enemy's swords at all.
"Whoosh!"
The sound of hundreds of crossbow machines firing at the same time could be clearly heard even by the merchants who were hiding in the distance, and when these soldiers fired the first arrow, they did not even look at whether the arrow hit the target, and scattered directly to both sides of the street, and some soldiers even rolled directly into the open doors and windows.
The oncoming cavalry collided with the oncoming arrows, and the soldiers on horseback were shot out by the impact of the crossbow arrows before they had time to dodge, and some soldiers lay on their horses, they luckily dodged the deadly crossbow arrows, but the war horse under the crotch was shot by the crossbow arrows, and the war horse made a miserable neighing sound, and directly threw the knight on his back out, and hit his head on the wall next to him, and his brain and blood burst out.
This kind of casualty is still within the scope of Otto's plan, in the face of crossbow arrows, it is inevitable to sacrifice a few soldiers, but the streets of this pass are not long, and after the crossbow arrows are fired, they need to be reloaded, and these times are enough for their own fighters to rush in front of each other. At this time, these crossbowmen were like haystacks on the school grounds, allowing them to cut and kill.
A dull cold snort came out from Otto's mask, this time the action was instructed by Lord Loa, if you encounter the soldiers of Boer City, you will directly kill the other party, without mercy.
The reaction speed of the soldiers of Boer City was also somewhat unexpected by Otto, but the soldiers in the front row dodged, and the soldiers in the back were exposed to the onslaught of the knights.
In fact, just as Otto thought, the soldiers of Boer City behind these crossbowmen also scattered, but they had no place to escape, but could only move quickly to the rear of the pass.
The dozen or so knights killed by crossbow arrows only slowed down the momentum of the cavalry charge slightly, but the knights who rushed to the front noticed something unusual.
The soldiers of Bol City did disperse, but in the streets of the gatehouse, on the road where they were reunited, there were a large number of black parcels, and from these parcels extended a thin rope, and the flames on the rope danced merrily, and burned to the root near the parcel.
What is it?
Doubts came out of the minds of these knights of the Roa Collar, but it was only the work of the arts, they did not take this kind of thing to heart, and what could pose a threat to the charging cavalry, except for the principle of shields and spears, was a salvo of crossbow arrows.
There is no problem with their cognition, but this is a weapon that has never appeared in this world, and after the Belu and Kelnilo people tasted their power, the next to taste the smell of gunpowder was actually the Principality of Noah itself.
"Boom!"
The cavalry that rushed to the front, their horses and their own bodies, flew up along with the mud and stones blown away by the gunpowder waves, and even some of the sturdy houses on both sides of the road were blown down by the air waves in the explosion, but the soldiers of the Guards hiding inside were fine.
Once the cavalry had sprinted, it was very difficult to stop, not to mention that many knights did not know what was going on in front of them, and some knights were deaf from the violent explosion, and they did not even react, so they plunged headlong into the smoke of the gunpowder explosion.
More than a hundred knights were completely incomparable with the thousands of Belu cavalry, and in less than a minute, all these cavalry were buried in the flames.
The Rorschach Pass was also turned into ruins in the explosion, with the first layer of protection of the walls of the house, plus the protection of the armor on the body, there were no major injuries, at most the skin abrasions, and all that was left on the street were the broken corpses and blood of the opposing knights, as well as the destroyed house tiles.
Asta wiped the dirt on the corner of his mouth with his hand, when the explosion happened just now, he thought it was the end of the world, so frightened that he buried his head directly in the ground, holding his head tightly with both hands, the terrifying explosion finally stopped, Asta also cautiously poked his head out from behind the stone, subconsciously twitched his nostrils, and a pungent smell of gunpowder smoke and blood slowly emerged from the ruins of the Rorschach Pass.
Otto's hand holding the reins was trembling slightly, in less than a minute just now, the more than 100 elite cavalry under his command actually turned directly into a corpse with an indistinguishable identity, when did Bol City have such a terrifying magic, the explosion just now, is it magic?
"Whoosh!"
Suddenly, from behind the half-collapsed houses on both sides of the road, several crossbow arrows were shot, and Otto, who was still in a sluggish and trance, was instantly hit by the crossbow arrows.
Otto felt countless warm liquids slowly flowing out of his body, his consciousness became awake at this time, he realized that his life force was slowly draining, his eyes widened, through the gap in his helmet, he seemed to see the fate of Luo Yaling's demise.
"Poof!"
The knightly officer of the Roa Collar finally fell heavily from his horse, and Planck and Ginny, in the ruins of the gatehouse, saw this scene with their own eyes.
"Hey, what a good place, it was destroyed by us in an instant. Planck suddenly sighed: "This gunpowder is indeed very cool when it is exploded, but after it is blown up, I feel like I have made a mistake." ”
"Hehe, you're still going to feel that way. Ginny smiled in surprise: "But the people in the customs are still there, these caravans are still there, from today on, they are immigrants who belong to our Pol Territory!"
