Chapter 010: Distress
They weren't in as much of a hurry as they had been at Wiesna, the horses were trotting, and the people on the horses were chatting with each other.
"Xilin, how do you say the Imperial Capital is now?" said Jesse with a smile.
"How's that?" I can't say, but we'll know sooner or later, and hopefully the outcome won't surprise me too much, hehe......" Cillin seemed to be in a good mood as well.
"There's a garrison here?" Jesse raised an eyebrow.
"Yes, the Sixteenth Infantry Regiment, just south of Andus, they really know how to pick a place. ”
"Uh...... Sixteen Infantry Regiments, what can they do? Except for eating, drinking, and having fun. ”
"Well...... It's not good, but the horses of their cavalry regiment are all Bondres horses. ”
"It's all Bondresma, my God, your majesty is crazy, it must be the ghost of the Imperial General Staff. Jesse was taken aback.
"It's His Majesty's order, uh...... Now it should be said that it is the former majesty xià. Cillin said that there were things that he obviously knew.
"Well, it's good that we have a new emperor. Jesse seemed a little absent-minded.
Everyone looked very leisurely, they were walking through a small forest, and after passing the woods, there would be many villages in front of them, but at this moment.
"Whew!"
There was a sound of breaking through the air, and the last person fell from his horse.
As soon as the voice came, everyone's nerves immediately tensed, although it was in a relaxed environment, but after all, they were all accustomed to war, and the sound of bows and arrows breaking through the air was all too familiar.
"Everyone dismount and prepare to meet the enemy!" Gar's shout did not fall, and everyone hid behind their horses, a dozen people gathered in a circle, and then more than thirty war horses were outside.
This formation is the best defensive formation in the field, especially if you don't know which side the enemy is.
"Watch out for the woods!"
"Whew!" another arrow came through the air.
The "Ah......hhhh
"Damn!" Abt cursed, an arrow fluttering on his shoulder, white feathers stained with blood.
"Captain, Abt is injured. Abel next to him shouted.
"I know, watch your head. Gal shouted back.
Gal was on the side of Xilin at the moment, staring closely at the woods in front of him.
"Huh!" another arrow came at the face, but it didn't hurt anyone, but Gal and the others saw the location of the arrow, and immediately snapped the crossbow in their hands.
This is a small cavalry weapon, the arrow box can hold ten short arrows, only need to pull the finger, the machine can automatically shoot the arrows.
Gal and the other two soldiers fired at the same time at the opposite side, and after a while, there was a dull sound of landing on the opposite side.
The three of them looked at each other and continued to wait for their time.
At this moment, a man was standing behind a large tree in the middle of the forest.
"Hmph," the man snorted, "I said kill those two guys first, but you don't need to, and now you tell me how I can pierce the belly of those horses with a bow and arrow." ”
"Don't blame me for everything, that's what you agree, now it's going to be clean!"
A voice was also heard from behind a nearby tree.
Originally, they were going to kill Xilin and Jesse directly according to the plan, and then everything would be fine, but after looking at the dozen or so people opposite, they suddenly wanted to play a game - cat and mouse, which made the situation stalemate.
Xilin They are still passively defending, there is no way, the enemy is dark and I am clear.
However, under the research of Cillin, Jesse and Garr, a general plan slowly emerged and was very feasible.
Jesse led the three men along the road, and Gal led the three of them backwards, of course, they all hid behind the horses, waited to get a distance, and then slowly approached the woods, although I don't know how many people there were, but it was obviously much better than sitting still.
But before they could implement it, "Woooo
Three arrows were stuck in the horse's body at the same time, and if it was one, it could have been hidden next to it, but the three horses were in pain at the same time, revealing a gap.
"Go!" Jesse let out a low cry as the three horses galloped forward, and only two of him followed, and one of them was already lying not far away.
Without much thought, Gal stretched out his iron palm and struck a horse in the belly, which also panicked, but ran backwards.
As soon as a few people left, there was a huge vacancy in the original front of the defensive circle, "Woooo
Xilin dodged suddenly, and dodged the arrows, "Huh!" Another arrow came towards him, at this time Xilin had not stabilized his body, and he saw the arrow, "Lord be careful!" Before the words fell, "Poof!" A blood flower had already been printed on the man's chest.
Cillin's eyes were red, and he was about to get up, when he suddenly felt a sinking of his lower body, and Abt was hugging him on his lap, "My lord!"
"What are you hugging me for?"!," Cillin scolded, but he couldn't bend over much.
At this time, Xilin's situation was also very bad, I thought that there was an ambush in the woods only on the side, but who knew that one of the two people next to Jesse fell, and the arrow came from behind!
Cillin's fists clenched, the whitish joints made a gurgling sound, slowly, he let go of his hands, but he rushed towards Jesse, "Sir!" The rest of the people all shouted, but then they reacted, some followed Cillin, and a few rushed directly towards the woods on both sides.
For a while, the formation was chaotic, and the opposite side was still constantly flying out, and three more people fell to the ground.
"Ahh
Jesse was now hiding by a large tree at the edge of the forest, but his calf was wounded, and blood was pouring from the wound.
"Damn!" Cillin reached into his pocket in a panic, but to Jesse's astonishment, Cillin took out a white silk scarf from his pocket.
"Look at what, this is Lao Tzu's snot. Xilin's eyes were red, and he said fiercely.
Tie up Jesse, he picked up his sword and walked into the woods, dodging continuously, but let him slowly approach the attackers.
"Zheng!"
The strings sounded, and Cillin looked up suddenly, so close that he didn't even notice that there was a person hiding above his head.
The man made a silent movement, and shot several arrows at the opposite side, all of which hit, and this hand startled Xilin.
The other side lost several more people, and the companions in the woods on the opposite side were obviously also hit.
"Withdraw!" I heard a low shout from someone on the other side, and after the sound of rubbing, there was no movement.
Xilin looked at the two people in front of him like a monster, and he was surprised not only by the other party's superb archery skills, but also by the beautiful face.
"What to look at, it's really rude, I really don't know how long ......"
"Wei'er!" the man snorted, but his voice was full of affection.
"Your Excellency must be Syrin Doyle. The man spoke.
"Exactly, I don't know who the two are?" said Cillin after looking at the woman, then turning to the man.
"Let's go to the side of the road, your friend's friends should be over there. ”
"It's fine. Xilin agreed, and walked towards the side of the road, although he didn't know the identity of the other party, but since the other party saved himself, he would not kill again.
"Jesse, are you feeling better?"
"Not dead yet, hehe......" Jesse's smile was ugly.
He was sitting on a grassy place, his bleeding had stopped, Gal was also injured, a layer of skin had been rubbed off his arm, and the wound was not small, and there were a few others, the rest were already lying on the ground.
