Chapter 069: Knight
"Damn, don't worry about the position," Mu shouted to the busy guys, "Set up the spear first!"
The men and the guards immediately put down their work, picked up the spear that rested on the ground, and set it up on the train. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info and the lucky ones who were assigned crossbow arrows stepped on the tread ring and wound their crossbow machines.
According to Mu's original plan, they had enough time to line up the trucks in a row of bunkers, and the rest of the time they could dig some traps for horses, and if they were walking into the forest, they could also get some traps such as tripping horses. However, now, it can only be said that the position has been set up in a rudiment, and as for trapping horses and stumbling horses, don't think about it. However, in this case, Mu is not dissatisfied, if these knights don't take the time to clean up the battlefield, they probably won't even be able to set up a position.
Thinking of this, Mu couldn't help frowning again. Harlaus not only gave up the opportunity to negotiate, but also put on a posture of rushing to kill, what is it for?
The cavalry team was gradually approaching, and the information brought by the one-eyed dragon's men was very accurate, and they did disguise themselves as bounty hunters, and Mu was slightly relieved to see this. If it was a genuine one, the heavily armed red-shirted iron rider rushed over, and he really had no chance of winning, however, in order to disguise himself as bounty hunters, they rode horses without horse armor. However, when fighting, he charged head-on according to the tactics of the horse armor, which gave him a chance to survive! However, he glanced behind his back and confirmed that the tree that was tethered to his mount was his last means of escape.
"Everyone, aim for the warhorse!" Mu shouted, as he took a well-wound crossbow arrow from Agna's hand. That's right, as long as there are no horses, the knights are only relatively skilled infantry, and their more than 100 people should be able to surround them.
"Shoot!" As the knights entered the range of the crossbow arrows, Mu yelled and gave the order to attack.
Whoosh, the arrows rushed towards the knights like locusts, but because the bounty hunters took away too many crossbow machines, this small rain of arrows only caused the knights in the front row to fall from their horses, and the round shield in the back easily blocked the sparse arrows with the round shield in their hands, and still maintained a high speed to rush towards the position.
"Damn," Mu cursed in a low voice, knowing that this would be the case, he wouldn't have sent the one-eyed dragon out. However, he still ordered step by step: "Spear ready!"
With a bang, all the spearmen pressed their bodies against the shaft of the spear. However, at this moment, the ranks of the cavalry seemed to twist a little.
Mu blinked, the cavalry team at this time had returned to its original state, but it seemed that the position was a little off.
"How many does this mean?" Mu frowned and whispered.
"Extraneous movements, why?" said Agna, too, a little puzzled. As a knight, especially when wearing heavy armor, the movements must be refined and direct to offset the burden of heavy armor, otherwise it will bring huge flaws. For example, the action just now will increase the exposure of the horse in a short time, and Mu's men may not be able to grasp this opportunity, but if they face a Vegia marksman, it is enough to be fatal!
Soon, Mu was stunned, and then anxiously ordered, "Hurry, the spears are coming here!"
The place Mu was referring to was the junction of the two trucks. If it was a full-fledged wagon position, it would certainly have been reinforced with slats and nails so that the two cars were completely connected together. And now, due to the cavalry raid, the wagons have just been set up, and there are almost no reinforcements, and this connection has suddenly become the soft underbelly of the position. In addition, in order to speed up the escape, Mu ordered all the goods to be thrown down, so that the weight of the vehicle was further reduced, and with only a little weight of the wooden truck, it was easy for the cavalry to crash away!
However, at this time, I woke up and it was too late. Although the sparse crossbow arrows forced a dozen knights to serve as infantry, they eventually made them rush to the front. At this moment, the cavalry at the head of the platoon suddenly pulled out his crossbow, and a flurry of crossbow bolts was fired at the spearmen who had just arrived. After a scream, the density of the spears in front of them suddenly decreased by half, but the other half of the spears were deadly enough, and the galloping horses were easily pierced by the spears, and even the knights were smashed, and then the guards who found the opportunity to make up for the last swords.
But, as mentioned earlier, the spear restrained the cavalry, but that did not mean that the spearman would be safe. Although the knights and horses were killed, the spearmen standing in front of them were not comfortable, and then the inertia of the charge, the horses slammed the wagons like a chariot, and then planted themselves in the crowd, and the spearmen at this time staggered like ploughed weeds. The knight who was intact in the back naturally would not let go of this opportunity, like a knife cutting butter, straight into the formation. They even threw down their spears, brandishing their hands and half-swords to slash at the men around them.
Mu only realized at this time that he had made a fatal mistake, he seriously underestimated the strength of the knights, and overestimated his own men and guards. Most of his knowledge of knights comes from the "Bloodstained Blade", but most of the mercenary groups are cavalry, and even the only knights are eliminated, how can they be compared with these elites? In other words, what he has to face now is not more than forty veterans of the year, but more than forty Fatis in his prime!
"MD!" Mu picked up the crossbow bolt and ran backwards without hesitation. Doing the same thing as him was Agna and a whole bunch of guys. If Sergeant Rhodok was here, he might be able to barely organize a counterattack, but Mu's subordinates were all men with poor combat quality, and as soon as this position was broken, they immediately lost their will to fight and fled in all directions. Fortunately, the bounty hunters left by the one-eyed dragon had already rushed forward, dragging the pace of the cavalry force, and only five or six knights rushed into the forest, but, with the little combat power of the bounty hunters, it is estimated that they will soon be wiped out.
"I said, shouldn't the knight rush forward heroically and fight to the death," Mu looked at the female knight who was running with him, and teased mercilessly, "Why did you run away?"
"The act you are talking about is called ZZ," Aigna did not forget to throw a roll of her eyes in her busy schedule, "For the knight, the worthless act of sending him to death is called unforgivable!"
"you MD!" Mu roared, a sharp stop and turned, the crossbow machine was held in his hand again, and with a crash, the horse chasing behind him neighed miserably, fell in response, and slid out of the way with Mu's clothes. And Mu hurriedly chased two steps, stepped on the knight's chest before he had time to get up, pulled out his saber, stabbed into his open helmet, and then twisted it, the knight snorted twice, and the calamity did not move.
Mu raised his head at this time, and Aigna beside him was indeed slightly bent, the shield was protected on his chest at a subtle angle, and the riding spear that chased the knight had already been handed in front of him.
Mu Gang wanted to shout to be careful, but saw the female knight's left arm raised slightly, and with a snap, the shield on the arm shattered, but the powerful thunderous riding spear was also deflected at an angle, and it actually shook above her shoulder, and Mu could see the stunned look on the knight's face on the horse. However, Aigna didn't have time to appreciate this funny expression, and while her left hand was hit by a cavalry spear and hemmed down, the right hand holding the sword stabbed the saber into the horse's belly, and the extremely fast speed of the war horse also instantly opened a big hole in the straight sword, and all kinds of horse internal organs suddenly fell to the ground, and the war horse, after rushing for a while, also fell upside down, and could no longer stand up. And Agna, too, quickly stunned the knight who hadn't reacted with the hilt of her sword, ending the battle.
"Tsk, it's amazing!" Mu didn't finish speaking, only to hear a miserable scream behind him, Mu suddenly turned around, but it was a horse dragging a corpse past him, a thick crossbow bolt had penetrated the forehead covered by the knight's steel helmet, and then pierced through the back of the head, already dead.
Mu Xin wiped a cold sweat with palpitations, and when he looked up, he saw that on the branches of a tall tree, Bandak was winding his beloved siege crossbow with his feet in a difficult position.
Mubi gestured gratefully, and Bandak nodded, then set up a bolt on the siege crossbow.
At this time, the merchant finally had time to look at the battle situation again, and on his side, the two remaining knights were already surrounded by a group of men with spears, and they were struggling to resist the spears that pierced from all over the place. However, further ahead, the battle situation is not so optimistic. More than twenty knights and more than fifty bounty hunters chased each other, and at first glance, the knights even had the upper hand. As for the rest, they are chasing and killing those guys who are scattered and fleeing on horseback, and the posture of killing them all is extremely obvious.
As for the knight leader, he rode to the side and did not take part in the battle. Seeing that the battle within the forest line was not going well, I couldn't help frowning. With a wave of his hand, several knights who personally led the guards rushed straight towards Mu and them.
Damn Harlaus!Mu clenched his fists and gritted his teeth, it was the first time he felt so powerless.
When Mu was preparing his position to deal with the cavalry charge, on the other side of the battlefield, there was also a group of guys who had to be mentioned.
The one-eyed dragon led his team out of the knights' line, using his years of experience and speed in the bounty hunter world to quickly escape the knights' pursuit. After the knights turned around and disappeared, the whole team relaxed. It's just that the morale of the team is so low that it is even visible to the naked eye.
The one-eyed dragon led the way in front, and more than twenty knights followed silently behind, all of them walking aimlessly without saying a word. Until a young bounty hunter shuddered and opened his mouth.
"Chief, we... What should I do again?"
"Silly B," before the one-eyed dragon could speak, another bounty hunter scolded away, "The TMD on the other side is a red-shirted iron rider, you still want to go back and find death?"
This sentence was agreed by many people, and the team suddenly became disturbed.
"But... The young man seemed frightened, and lowered his voice, "There are more than fifty brothers there." ”
The team suddenly fell silent again, and then within seconds there was an uproar again. Some of them agreed with the young man and tried to persuade others to turn back, while others used the strength of the Red Shirt Iron Rider as an excuse to hide their cowardice.
"If we do what we do, if we are righteous and run away like this, who will still believe us?"
"Please, we're about twenty people now, what can we do when we go?"
"Let's do something about it, even if we can't beat the Red Shirts, let's see if we can get the boss out, he's kind to us. ”
"yes, it's hard to find this kind of boss. ”
"You're really desperate for money, you all fought with them just now, how many chances do you think those guys in the caravan can have?
"But... ”
While the one-eyed dragon was making wishful thinking, Mu was still struggling in a fierce battle. The clever fellows were naturally blessed when they saw Bandak's leisurely appearance, and they climbed up the tallest tree trunk they could find, and the bold ones tried to attack the knights on the ground with crossbow arrows and even five-meter spears.
These people make the knights also helpless, if they don't care about these guys, they can't fight under the constant harassment. However, the half-hand sword they are equipped with is a balanced weapon, and is not suitable for cutting trees, so they can only use the hand crossbow to counterattack, but this also greatly reduces the knight's combat effectiveness. Bandak, on the other hand, is the god of killing in the audience, and the siege crossbow in his hand can basically take away the noble life of a knight with every arrow.
The knight leader rushed over with his escort, but after being entertained by the siege crossbow several times in a row, he was forced back and waited for the fighters. Outside the forest line, things are less rosy, with knights and bounty hunters constantly chasing each other, looking for opportunities to attack. This naturally reduced casualties, but it also gave the knights with crossbows a great advantage, and most of the corpses of men and horses lying on the ground had once belonged to bounty hunters. By the time the knights who had pursued the rout had completed their mission and gradually returned to their ranks, it would not be long before the bounty hunters' team would be wiped out. When they rushed into the woods again, the crossbowmen in the trees ran out of arrows, and the end of bathing them came.
Mu grabbed the reins of the horse with one hand, at this time, escaping into the forest was definitely the best choice, in the dense jungle, he was confident that he could use various terrains to shake off the knight's pursuit. It's just that this is the forest line, and the distance between the trees is wide enough to run horses, and there is still a way to go from the real dense forest. Just as he stepped onto his horse and was about to run away, there was a sudden shout from behind him. He looked back and saw a small group of knights rushing towards him near the edge of the woods.
Mu couldn't help but be shocked, turned his head to look at the battlefield where the line was wrong, and only then did he react that the knight who was chasing the deserter had long since disappeared, and the knight leader who had just been waiting for him also rode his horse and rushed up.
"MD, it's been calculated. He cursed in a low voice, and with a flick of his whip, the horse made a short charge and knocked the knight who was fighting with Agna into the air.
"Quick, find a horse!" Mu said anxiously, "Let's lure these damn knights away, this is the only chance!"
"But... There was bitterness in Agna's voice, and she didn't move. Mu then found that Agna's left arm was hanging weakly, as if she was unconscious, and it was caused by just resisting the knight's charge. But in this way, I can't ride a horse anymore.
"Damn!" Mu cursed again, and then picked up Agna with a handful.
Aigna was shocked, "You... What are you doing?"
"Run!" Mu roared, put Agna in front of him, slapped the horse's ass with the scabbard, and instigated the war horse to gallop, taking advantage of the fact that the knights on both sides had not yet succeeded in closing the circle, and drilled out of the gap!
Aigna suddenly felt a little dizzy, she had not been in contact with many men in the army, but she had never sat in a man's arms in such a shameful position. At this time, Mu's lower abdomen was tightly pressed against her buttocks, and the hands holding the reins were tightly clamping her slender waist, although through the armor, he could still feel his heavy breath. This somewhat charming atmosphere made her cheeks flush a little. Fortunately, the huge helmet covered her expression and kept her from being too embarrassed.
