Chapter 301: Siege (2)
Norman's heart was on fire, and he led his team all the way. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Although he saw the exit of the canyon after more than half an hour, he still felt that it was too long.
At that moment, a huge boulder rolled down from the mountain on one side, blocking the road ahead.
Norman's horse was frightened, and his front hooves jumped high, and Norman held the reins tightly with both hands and clamped his legs tightly around the horse's abdomen, so that he did not fall off the horse.
The soldiers behind him also stopped, and looked around nervously, the surrounding mountains were unusually quiet, and no other sound could be heard except for the sound of birdsong.
"Retreat!"
Norman shouted loudly to turn the army around, when suddenly there was a loud bang behind him, and a large rock rolled down the hillside to block the way back.
It was only then that Norman discovered that they were stuck in the middle.
"Damn, do you dare to fight to the death in the open? ”
The valley was still quiet.
". ”
Norman cursed in a low voice, and just wanted to let the other soldiers come and move away from the big rock, when suddenly a large number of stones rolled down from the mountain, and the horses and unsuspecting soldiers were smashed to the ground, and the unlucky ones were directly stoned to death.
At this time, Norman shouted again to stabilize the formation, and no one listened to him anymore, and the soldiers rushed with their heads in their hands.
As soon as Norman tried to regroup his soldiers after the stones stopped falling, the sound of a rain of arrows sounded in Norman's ears again.
Norman looked up and saw that the arrows were flying like locusts, flying towards them in dense clusters.
Norman raised his shield to block while shouting:
"Raise the shield, our armor and shields can block ......"
Norman was only halfway through his words when he saw a large number of soldiers pierced by arrows, and their armor was like a layer of paper, easily pierced.
What's going on? Good armor is enough to withstand these arrows?
A soldier with several arrows in his body fell to the ground, and the armor on the soldier's body was torn apart in an instant.
That damn fat man!
No matter how stupid Norman was, he instantly understood what the problem was. His eyes cracked, and there was a fury in his belly, and if the fat man was in front of him, he must have skinned him alive.
The reality did not allow him to think too much, after a round of arrows was fired, nearly a third of the people had fallen to the ground. The 5,000-strong army he relied on no longer had the courage to fight.
However, the enemy offensive did not end there.
High on the top of the hill stood rows of knights, heavily armed, each with a spear in his hand, staring at the soldiers of the valley.
"Listen, if you surrender, we can not kill you, if you do not surrender, we will kill!"
Standing in the center is a knight riding a black steed, invisible because of the helmet on his head. The knight's voice was so loud that even from the top of the hill, the soldiers in the valley could hear it clearly.
"We are willing to surrender. ”
As soon as the knight finished speaking, a large number of soldiers laid down their weapons.
Norman glared at the surrendering soldiers, and saw that they were all recently recruited, and the anger in his heart was even greater.
These bastards have been unreliable since the beginning, and now they are thinking about defecting, since this is the case, then let them all die!
Thinking of this, Norman shouted loudly: "Surrenderer, kill!"
He swung his sword and slashed to death a soldier beside him who had laid down his weapon.
At the same time, the other veteran soldiers, after receiving Norman's orders, immediately drew their weapons and slaughtered the soldiers who surrendered.
Soldiers who wanted to surrender had to take up arms again and fight their former comrades.
Suddenly, the valley was in chaos.
One of the recruits raised his weapon and shouted: "These bastards, who only care about their own promotion and wealth, but don't care about our life or death, today we fought with them." ”
"If you don't fight, you will die, if you fight, there may be a way to live, brothers, take up arms and fight with them!"
A spark can start a prairie fire.
After one of the soldiers shouted desperately, the recruits remembered what had happened to them, and one by one they clenched their teeth, eager to tear Norman apart.
One by one, the soldiers took up arms and joined the rebellious army.
The scuffle in the valley was suddenly scorched.
Although the recruits were numerous, they had no formal training at all, and at best they were a group of peasants with weapons, not to mention that the quality of their weapons and armor was simply not comparable to that of the veterans.
When the two sides first came into contact, the two were evenly matched, but as time went on, the recruits gradually became at a disadvantage, and if it continued like this, it was only a matter of time before the recruits were annihilated.
"Rice, let's go up now, if all these surrendered soldiers are destroyed, it will be difficult for us to gather popularity. ”
Behind the knight who had just shouted loudly, another knight rode up and whispered in his ear.
"Your Excellency, you have to stay here honestly, in case something happens, I can't afford it. Show your weapons, brothers, follow me, and charge down!
Les took the lead, and the war horse jumped high from the top of the mountain, like a black lightning, and rushed down the mountain.
The other knights followed, clenched their spears, and charged down.
For a moment, there was a rolling thunder on the hillside.
Norman raised his head and looked at the hillside, where a cavalry rushed towards him like a flood.
"Hurry up and protect me!"
Norman shouted loudly, and the knights and soldiers around him stood by him with shields and weapons.
The sharp spear eventually came into contact with the hard shield.
With the help of a great momentum, the spear pierced the shield and the knight's body.
Les and his cavalry trampled on each other's bodies and charged forward.
Even though Norman was prepared, when he saw the knight on the opposite side rushing in front of him, his legs suddenly seemed to lose strength.
"Quick...... Fast...... Protect me!"
A nervous Norman could barely speak, and the soldiers around him moved closer to him again, surrounding him in the center.
Les and the cavalry were encircled by the enemy.
After the spear pierced the bodies of eight soldiers, the horses stopped their forward charge.
Les threw away his spear, drew his sword, and shouted, "Kill!"
The blade of the sword is like a giant scythe of death, and the neck of the enemy flies.
The cavalry caught in the siege also wielded their long swords, and the more they fought, the more courageous they became, and the cavalry composed of 200 men was like a sharp dagger, easily tearing through the local defenses.
The recruits, who were already at the end of the road, took the opportunity to catch their breath twice, then took up their weapons and began their counterattack.
The normally silent valley is now hell, and the earth is red with blood, slowly filling in the low-lying land.
Standing at the top of the mountain, Aaron put down the mask on his helmet, raised his sword high, and shouted loudly, "Target, Norman, charge me!" (To be continued.) )
