Chapter 45: Naxi 2
(The third watch is finally completed, thanks to the blue ghost eye for the reward)
The battle unfolded as the guards of Garro Manor were caught off guard.
Out of nowhere, the enemy attacked Garro Manor from several directions.
Now there are only more than 30 private soldiers in Garro Manor, all of them are of relatively lame quality, and they are powerless to resist under the attacks of the combined forces of Fort Winterdusk and the Northern Army, and they are soon pressed into one room after another, and can only rely on indoor obstacles to resist.
Flames began to emerge from the individual rooms, and the screams were continuous.
Gehr's order was to kill them all, and not let any of them go.
Originally, the clumps of pink and white Naxi flowers in the manor turned red under the reflection of the firelight and the rays of brilliance behind the sunset, redder than blood.
Standing on the dirt slope with more than a dozen riders behind him, Gelzema did not join the attack on the Garro estate at the beginning, but waited for a possible breakout crowd.
The war horse under the crotch may have been a little excited by the scene in front of him, constantly shaking his head and snorting, not for Gehr constantly appeased, maybe it had already rushed over with Gehr.
"It's a good horse for the battlefield. β
The admiration was given by a man in a black cloak beside Gehr, who was an assistant sent by Tavron to help Gehr, named Valarian.
"What have your people discovered?" said Gehr, calmly observing the manor, waiting for his turn to strike.
"Your Excellency, please rest assured, the soil here is not suitable for digging too long tunnels, and our people have been concentrated within a radius of ten kilometers, if Earl Carter retreats through possible secret passages, as long as they reach the ground, they will definitely be discovered by my people. Valerian replied confidently.
Gehr nodded, still keeping his eyes off Garro Manor. Gehr's biggest concern is that there is a secret passage in the manor that can escape the encirclement, and now that the Brotherhood of Steel's intelligence system guarantees that there is no problem, then Gell will also hand over this monitoring to them, and he will pay full attention to the situation in the manor.
For a time, there was no sound on the slope except for the occasional neighing of horses and the sound of horses' hooves plowing the earth.
A light breeze blew, and the wind, which was originally full of aroma, carried a scorching smell this time, like a mixture of hair and pieces of meat. Gehr is familiar with the taste, which is the taste of war.
"It's coming!"
In Geer's whispers, under the cover of some of the manor's privateers, regardless of the casualties, the three horses rushed out, and successfully jumped out of the encirclement of the infantry, and galloped towards the outside of the manor.
"Isolde, you take three people, you don't need to take prisoners, just kill them. Gehr turned his back to the only Brotherhood of Steel knight who remained by his side - the other two had already led their troops into the manor, and gave him the order,
"Yes, sir. β
"Rambo, Reggie, Blair, come with me. β
"Yes. β
Amid the clatter of horses' hooves and the earth, Isolde led three riders down the dirt slope and flanked the fleeing squad.
The fleeing triumvirate apparently also spotted the menacing Isolde and his party, and desperately whipped the horses under their crotches, trying to avoid Isolde's volley route.
But this is not worth looking at in front of Isolde, who has the status of an official knight, and Isolde and his team keep fine-tuning the direction of progress without slowing down the speed of their horses, and never let the fugitives out of his interception range.
The distance between the two sides was getting closer and closer as fast as the naked eye could see, and the desperate fugitives were desperately screaming to make the horses faster, but this was an unfulfilling task for the horses that had already pushed the speed to the extreme.
"Bang!"
A loud crash sounded, and the two centaurs had slammed into each other, and one of Isolde's knights and two of the fugitives were thrown out of the air at the same time, and the remaining fugitive was directly split in two by Isolde's crosssword.
There is no suspense.
Gehr withdrew his gaze and continued to observe the form of the manor.
Silence once again enveloped the dirt slope.
The sound of the night sparrow flapping its wings came all the time, and Valerian reached out to stop the night sparrow on his wrist, untied the brass ring hanging from the night sparrow's feet, and took out the information inside: "North, three kilometers away, more than a dozen people came out of the tunnel. β
"Map. β
Valerian pulled the map from his side and quickly checked it out, locking on the location in a matter of seconds.
Gehr looked at it, it was a plain, and immediately said: "I will leave some men for you, and you will command the next." β
"Yes, sir. β
In Vararian's response, Gell chose ten men to follow, and immediately headed in the direction of the group's flight.
The speed of the horses was extremely fast, and Gehr hurried away without hesitation, but in only four or five minutes, Gell and his team had come to the place where the fugitives had been found.
A man with various branches and leaves tied to his body like a tree stood there and beckoned to Gehr, who was none other than the intelligence officer Vararian had arranged for him to be nearby.
"They went in that direction, on foot, without horses. β
Nodding to the intelligence officer, Gell immediately redirected towards the fugitive.
Not long after this time, Gehr saw a figure running in front of him.
The fugitives were also awakened by the sound of horses' hooves behind them, and they paused and fled in three parts.
Gehr raised his left hand and made a detachment gesture, and the cavalry behind him immediately formed a corresponding detachment according to the number of scattered opponents, four cavalrymen continued to follow Gehr towards the largest group of enemies, and the other six divided into two three-person squads to chase the other two groups of smaller enemies.
There are seven enemies on this side that Gehr is chasing.
It is not for nothing that there are people who can outrun the war horse with human legs, but by no means include those who are being chased by Gehr now.
The sound of horses' hooves was getting closer and closer, and the people running in front also felt the approach of death, and the two people who were dragging behind the most lull knew that they couldn't run, and turned around sharply, and rushed towards Gehr who was running in front with a ruthless face.
In the sound of tearing the air, the two cross swords stabbed towards Gehr like poisonous snakes, one left and one right, and the speed of the war horse made the speed of the two swords approach even more exponentially, turning into two phantoms in Geer's sight, and it was instantaneous.
With a cold snort, Gehr's right arm holding the knife had already swung out, and the moon-like brilliance flashed away, and the next moment, the enemy on his right instantly flew backwards like a thunderbolt, and his body had been split into two in midair.
The enemy to Gel's left was rejoicing that Ger had chosen to attack his companion, and when it was clear that Gel couldn't dodge, a curved metal rod was already erected in his path.
Clang!
The horse's tremendous momentum was transmitted completely along the blade of the sword to the man's body, and the body was involuntarily bounced into the air, and only then did he see what Gehr, who was riding from under him, was blocking his attackβthe bow back of a metal bow. Then, as his body tumbled and fell, the most striking sight he saw was that the two horsemen who were following Gehr had raised their sabers in their hands, and the brilliance of the blades had staggered over him......
Geer crossed the barrier of the two, there was no obstacle in front of him, before the remaining five people had time to react, they had already driven their horses in, one person was knocked into the air first, the back of the impact bulged sharply forward, and the body folded back, the back of the head almost touched the heel, obviously no longer alive.
Gehr's straight knife also stabbed out at the same time, stabbing through the back of the enemy on his right, the tip of the knife poking out of his mouth, and with a single exertion of his arm, he lifted the man's body into the air and threw it out. The remaining three also rolled to the side in order to avoid Gehr's collision, facing the encirclement and suppression of the cavalry who followed Gehr.
There were no accidents, just a few breaths, and those who escaped from the manor became corpses.
Gell sat on horseback and watched as his men dismounted to examine the corpses, and cut off the heads of each corpse and presented it to Gehr for him to review.
Not surprisingly, there was no corpse of Earl Carter, and Gell pulled the reins of his horse and headed straight in the direction of the other group.
Another massacre, and after still not finding the body of Earl Carter, Gehr and his men continued in the direction of the last group.
This time, the cavalry that had broken out of the group ran a little far, and still needed to go around a small hill.
After a few minutes of rounding the mountain, Gell finally saw three of his men, but by this time they appeared to be corpses, lying on the grass, surrounded by three enemies they were pursuing. The three men had already taken control of the horses that belonged to those who had not moved on the ground, and were about to drive the horses away.
Fifty meters.
Gehr's long knife was sheathed, his arm was lightly stretched, the metal bow had been unfolded, the arrow was stuck into the chute, the bowstring was stretched to the extreme, and the next moment, a flash of black light instantly crossed the space and appeared in front of the enemy behind the most luke.
Clang!
The arrow did not hit the enemy as Gehr had expected, and with a light swing of the cross sword in his hand, the arrow was blocked.
Knight Rank?
Gehr now has a way of judging the knight rank, and the one who can stop him from shooting arrows at this distance must be the knight rank.
Then you should be right this time.
"Build a shooting model. β
β...... The data was collected and the model was established. β
Ignoring the provocative taunts of his enemies after blocking his arrows, the three enemies had already begun to pick up and soon get out of his effective range.
Sixty meters.
Another arrow was fired, and the horses of the enemy who were running in front suddenly let out a mournful roar, and as soon as their front hooves went soft, they fell to the ground, and the people on their backs were thrown out of the ground.
Sixty-five meters.
Just like the previous one, he was also thrown away by the fallen horse.
Seventy meters.
The only enemy who remained on his horse finally saw what Gehr was doing, and the direction he chose to shoot was the joint between the horse's hooves and the horse's legs, a position in which the knight sitting on the horse could hardly defend. So when Gehr bent his bow again, the knight had no choice but to release the stirrup and jump off so as not to be thrown off by the wounded horse.
Shoot the man before the horse.
