Chapter 49: Ambush
Cargill's movements were slow, and it took several days for them to finally reach the vicinity of town.
Team leader Hadley Jacob stopped on the side of the road and encouraged the rest of the group: "Okay, we're not far from town, and we won't be able to go back soon, so let's try hard." ”
Although four days is not a long time, the trek in the snow is indeed a bit more strenuous. Fortunately, they brought the big and small greens, and the strength of the big and small greens was extraordinary, although the carriage was very inconvenient in the snow, but it was pulled by the big and small greens, and it was safe to walk.
They didn't use the sled, which was also a mistake.
Hadley was about to continue moving forward, when suddenly Daqing screamed and stopped, and Daqing stopped, and even Xiaoqing stopped.
Hadley frowned and walked over to Cargill and asked, "What's going on?
Cargill was also confused: "I don't know. ”
He stepped forward to Daqing's side, wanting to appease Daqing.
Daqing was more anxious at this time, his steps kept walking, and he kept looking up and shouting at Cargill, "Moo~Moo~Moo~" made people feel upset.
Hadley felt a little impatient, and walked over with his horsewhip and waved it to whip Daqing.
However, as soon as his hand was raised, Cargill hurriedly came up and stopped him: "Captain, don't do it, this cow belongs to my brother, it seems that the blood is very strong, and the temper is not good, if we make trouble, I am afraid we will not be able to continue today." ”
He was actually afraid that Daqing would make trouble, and the captain would not be able to beat him at all, although he had never seen Daqing make a move, but according to Cargill, I am afraid that no one in the entire Lord's Mansion is Daqing's opponent, and Hadley will not be an exception.
Hadley didn't know how strong Daqing was, and after being stopped by Cargill, although he was a little dissatisfied, he was also afraid that Daqing's bullish temper would come up. If it was an ordinary cow, it would be easy to say, Hadley could dispose of it however he wanted, but Da Xiaoqing was a mage's cow, so he didn't dare to dispose of it at will.
He put down his horsewhip, but still scolded with some indignation: "If this were my own cow, I would have killed it a long time ago to eat meat, what is the use of a disobedient cow." ”
He only dared to find something cheap in words, and did not dare to really do it.
Cargill didn't know why Daqing was like this, but he heard his brother say that Daqing's bloodline was extraordinary, could it be that he found something?
He took a closer look at his surroundings, and there was a small hill ahead of him, which was overgrown with trees, all now covered in snow. But Cargill took a closer look, and saw that there were slight traces of clearing on the snow, as if someone had cleared the snow to cover up the footprints, and there was less snow on the branches on the hillside, and more snow fell to the ground than in other places.
And the surroundings are also very quiet, at this time, you should be able to hear the sound of birds, but the heavy snow has driven all these birds out, and it is the time to forage everywhere.
"Captain, is there something wrong here?"
Cargill told Hadley what he had discovered, and Hadley glanced at Cargill suspiciously, and then looked at the small hill he pointed, and after a closer look, he did find the suspicion that Cargill had just said, and he saw more things, there were indeed people hiding on this hillside.
He didn't realize it just now, mainly because he didn't realize it, Cyber Leader had always been safe, there were no large groups of thieves nearby, and now it was snowing, he didn't expect that someone would come to ambush his group.
In the neighborhood, Sainsbury is still quite prestigious, it is not that there have been no robbers to fight the idea of Cyber Territory over the years, Cyber Territory is the richest territory in the vicinity, but all the people who come have become barren graves and dry bones.
"Be on guard. Hadley immediately gave the order, and when he heard the order, everyone immediately went into action, and lined up the grain carts in a row of seat barriers, facing the direction of the small hill.
Seeing that Hadley and they were on guard, the people who had been hiding in the mountains had little patience, and immediately rode out on horseback, occupying the small hillside.
The leader took a few steps forward and said to Hadley: "I didn't expect you to be quite vigilant, worthy of the best knight in Cyber Territory, you leave the grain cart, and I will let you go." ”
Hadley ignored the other party's compliment, and said, "Who are you? You dare to intercept the food transport team of Cyber Ling, our young master is the deputy head of the Knights of the Provincial City, even if you hijack the grain cart, do you think you can avoid the revenge of the Knights?"
Hadley did not dare to underestimate the other party, nor did he have the confidence to say a few words to the other party, although the people on the other side did not have the elite on their side, but the number of people far exceeded their own, and it was really a fight, Hadley felt very dangerous.
"That's not something you need to care about. ”
As he spoke, the other party stepped forward a few more steps, and then suddenly waved his hand and drank: "Kill!"
In the middle of his words, he led people to charge towards Hadley's side, he didn't intend to make the other party drop the grain cart and retreat directly through words, and even if the other party really gave up the grain cart, he couldn't let the other party go.
I just said so much, just to let the other party relax a little.
Hadley didn't relax, as soon as he saw the other party start to charge, he immediately organized his own side to deal with it, although the other party rushed down the hillside, but Hadley's side also had a grain truck as a barrier, and he didn't fall too far behind for a while.
Cargill straddled the horse, took out a small-looking crossbow from his body, and after winding it, he gave an arrow to the leader who ran at the front with a "boom", but unfortunately the other party was very agile, and he dodged the arrows fired at the head as soon as he lowered his head, but the person behind him was not so lucky, and was immediately shot off the horse by the crossbow arrow.
Hadley glanced at Cargill in surprise, in the eyes of a young man like them, they generally don't like crossbows, and it would be considered a sign of lack of chivalry. It's like two people going head-to-head, and you take out a pistol and crash people without saying a word, which is definitely not fair.
However, as an old knight who has been on the battlefield, Hadley will not be so narrow-minded, on the battlefield, of course, he can use whatever is useful, and the use of a crossbow is nothing at all.
The vast majority of fair fights are said to those who are also noble knights in the ring.
Although Cargill's crossbow is very compact, the power of the arrows shot out is very large, which is specially made for him by Jiayi for self-defense, in addition to using an eccentric wheel, it is also enchanted on it, if it is not for the leader of the other party to dodge, I am afraid they have won half of it by now.
The opponent's speed was very fast, and after Cargill shot an arrow, it was too late to shoot the second arrow, and the opponent was already in front of him. Cargill hurriedly hung the crossbow on his horse's back, then picked up the long sword in his hand and prepared to charge.
The leader on the other side seemed to be very dissatisfied with Cargill who had just shot him with an arrow, and instead of finding Hadley, he went straight to Cargill's side.
Originally, Hadley was by Cargill's side, but just when Cargill shot the crossbow arrow, Hadley also led his own people to start charging, and the knight relied on speed the most, and if he didn't rush up the speed, it would be half wasted.
Fortunately, the other party was stopped by the grain truck at the speed of rushing downhill, otherwise Cargill would have fallen into the downwind before they could fight.
Originally, when Hadley rushed out, he thought that the leader on the other side would find him directly, but he didn't expect that the other party didn't have this idea at all, so he turned a corner and headed straight for Cargill.
And Hadley was entangled by the rest of the bandits, who wanted to support but couldn't get away for a while, although these robbers were of average strength, but they were outnumbered.
Cargill looked at the horses rushing towards him, clenched the sword in his hand, and was very nervous, although he performed very well in training, it was the first time he really went to the battlefield, and he was facing the strongest bandit leader.
Directly encountered the boss.
