Chapter 375: Interception and Killing (I)
Major clung to the front wall of the cage as if to break out, and his shouts instantly made the whole group look sideways.
"What are you crazy about!"
Val was the closest, mistakenly thinking that Major wanted to escape from the cage, so he turned around and whipped it with his whip, although it was blocked by the wooden cage, but still left a bloody mark on Major's cheek.
Who knew that Major did not dodge and retreat at all, and still shouted loudly: "Ishbal, quickly order everyone to stop, I feel that there is a murderous aura in the forest ahead, and it is coming for us, believe me! If you don't want this group of people to die, hurry up and give the order!"
"What the are you talking nonsense, watch me smoke you ...... first"
Before Ishbal could react, Val raised his whip and tried to whip it, but before the word 'death' could come out of his mouth, things changed.
Perhaps because the centaurs had entered the effective firing range, a rain of arrows like locusts flew out from the forest opposite, and many of them were the handiwork of archery masters, because a considerable part of the arrows were only at extremely tricky angles under the cover of other attacks, and they greeted directly according to the legs of the horses.
There is only one result of a horse running at high speed being shot in the leg, that is, the person is on his back, and the prisoner cart carrying Major is suspended in the air because of the sudden stop of the horse in front of him, and then falls to the ground and falls to the ground, and then falls to the ground and throws the improvised cage to pieces, and the Major, who was thrown out, is not embarrassed, and hides firmly behind the floor of the upturned carriage after unloading and rolling on the ground.
The other riders were not so lucky, some were overturned and the horses were unable to move, and some were directly killed by arrows.
The survivors, including Ishbal, got up and immediately went into defense, the shields they were holding and the armor they were wearing had a certain defensive ability, but unfortunately the archery skills of the people who were ambushed on the other side were strong enough, and they were armor-piercing arrows, and this haunting weapon was simply useless in the face of light armor!
After only a few moments, two more of the soldiers who tried to push forward were hit by arrows and fell to the ground.
"Come here! ”
"Do as he says!" Major's shout was echoed by Ishbal, who immediately ordered everyone to prepare to take shelter in Major's position.
With the commander's order, all the soldiers no longer looked as panicked as they had just now, and slowly moved closer to each other and moved towards Major with their shields forming a joint defensive formation.
When he moved to a position just a few steps away from the target, he mixed garlic at the feet of a soldier hiding behind, and threw himself to the side to get out of the protective area of the shield, and the enemy on the opposite side naturally did not let go of this opportunity, and fired a quick arrow straight at the soldier's front door.
Seeing that the tragedy was about to be staged, the arrow that was about to hit the target was knocked away by a pair of hands with iron locks in front of the target's eyes, and naturally Major rushed out of the cover to save the life of the unlucky soldier!
But the crisis was not contacted, and the limited movement of Major did not dare to expose himself to the attack and do more, dragging the stunned soldier back and jumping back to the position of the bunker, and the unsuspecting soldier came to his side to gnaw on the mud.
"Thank you...... Thank you!"
Raising his face full of abrasions, the soldier who had palpitations did not dare to complain about the culprit who made him disfigured, after all, life was more important than skin injuries.
Everyone gathered, and the small board was still too small for seven or eight large men, but fortunately they stood on both sides with a few shields to widen the area of defense, and barely protected everyone, and the enemy in the woods also temporarily stopped shooting arrows.
"****, what a fucking bag!" the grumpy Val angrily slammed his fist on the ground, and his companion, who had just been arguing with him, was now separated from yin and yang, and his fear and anger made him feel like there was a fire in his chest that had to be vented.
"Boyle, cover me and rush out, you can't just wait for the bastards on the other side to shoot at you! I'm fast enough, you don't have to go any further as long as I can rush out halfway through, and when I disrupt their rhythm, you and the captain can safely charge over and kill these despicable bastards!"
"Val, don't act recklessly, I don't know what the situation is on the other side!" Ishbal solemnly stopped Val from attacking rashly.
"Captain, we can't wait......! If we drag it any longer, we will be consumed sooner or later.
Boyle, get ready!"
Val turned to get out of cover, but Major reached for a leg and pulled the chain from his shackles down his ankle to knock him down.
Caught off guard, even the helmet he was wearing was carried out by inertia.
After getting up, Val looked back at Major is punch, then picked up the sword in his hand and slammed it across Major's neck and said angrily:
"You want to find death so much, believe it or not, I'm throwing you out to block the arrows now!"
Major spoke in a slightly mocking tone:
"Fool, look back, you still want to rush over and kill someone? You can't even go ten steps at this speed, and you'll be shot through like a boar!"
"Fuck you......" Val, who turned his back, suddenly held back the swear words that came to his lips, because he saw that the helmet that had just flown off his head had flown to the ground far behind him, and a wolf-toothed arrow was accurately inserted on it at this time.
His helmet had just flown out of the bunker, and naturally he was taken to the back by an arrow, but looking at the parallel distance, it was at most two or three steps out of the bunker.
And from discovering that the target appeared from behind the bunker to hitting the target with a bow and arrow, only letting the helmet fly out of such a small distance, what a terrible archery is this, although Mel's words just now are not good, but I am afraid that if he really goes out, in the face of such a level of archers, I am afraid that there will only be blood spattered on the spot, so it is said that Mei Jer's actions just now actually saved his life, so Val now instantly felt a cold sweat flowing down his back.
Pushing away the hand that was lying in front of him, ignoring Val, who continued to be stunned, Major turned to Ishbal and said:
"This gang is definitely not something you can deal with, unless there are archers of the same or higher level as the other side who can fight against them, you must not fight hard!"
Hearing this, Ishbal smiled bitterly and shook his head:
"Finn, the best archery among us, fell just when he was attacked, and in reality, the opponent's archery skills are probably above him! Thank you just for saving the lives of Pato and Val, Val was a little reckless, but at least one thing he said correctly, it really can't be dragged on like this!
However, with the current conditions we have, I am afraid that we will not be able to form an effective counterattack, and I have just thought about a lot of tactics, but the possible predictions are not very good.
Since you were the first to spot an ambush, is there any good way to deal with it?"
Major stared at Ishbal and said slowly:
"I do have an idea in my mind. But the question is, do you believe me!"
