Chapter 94: Attacked
Chapter 94: Attack——
On the plain covered with weeds, a group of more than twenty cavalrymen were galloping, aiming at the bushes looming on the horizon in the distance. This is the clone and others who temporarily served as scouts. At this moment, Bob, with his blond hair fluttering in the wind, breathed in the rare fragrance of earth in the air, and said to the clone who was galloping beside him: "It's just a bush, but it requires four knights and more than twenty attendants. It's simply It’s an insult to our identity.”
Listening to Bob's endless complaints, the clone frowned slightly, but did not say anything reproachful. Instead, a knight on the other side glanced at Bob and said with a smile: "Brother Bob, if you encounter Ai Xinzhe's scouts later, don't be too happy to rush up and perform meritorious service alone." "Hahaha Haha!" Seeing the blush on Bob's face, several knights immediately burst into laughter. This Bob was notoriously aggressive. He is more like a knight than a barbarian from the north. It's just not that tall.
Low shrubs, the occasional tung tree standing on the edge, and hungry rabbits scurrying out of the shrubs. Except for some undulating hillsides that block the view, the place is clearly visible. Bob was very dissatisfied and took a sip from the kettle from his attendant, then continued to complain: "It's a hell of a place where birds don't poop. Even rabbits don't dare to come out. How can there be enemies?" Another knight directly said Ignoring Bob's complaints, he took out the map scroll from the war horse's pocket and said helplessly: "Let's take a walk. First, check the nearby terrain with the map. Let's get the job done." The clone nodded unequivocally. This kind of task itself is not very nutritious. But at this moment, the cry of vultures suddenly sounded in the sky.
"Huh?" The clone frowned and looked at the vultures circling in the sky. At a rough count, there are more than ten! Bob then raised his head and saw this scene. He immediately took a sip of disgust and said, "It's really unlucky. There are so many vultures spinning above my head. I wish I could shoot them to death with one arrow." But the clone was silent for a moment, and suddenly pulled out the gun from his waist. Cross Sword came and shouted: "Be alert, there may be enemies nearby!" "Well, what did you say?" Bob looked at the clone with a blank expression, but the other two knights immediately understood the cause and effect and decisively pulled out their weapons. Suddenly the whole team was in a tense atmosphere. The avatar understands that vultures, beasts that eat corpses, would not come here in a group if they didn't feel that they would probably have food to eat! Because of their premonition of death, these stupid animals are more keen than humans.
But things happened much faster than I expected. Before he could explain to Bob, there was a sudden sound of breaking through the air from the hillside not far away, and then a servant next to him immediately screamed and fell to the ground. Upon closer inspection, a short and thick crossbow arrow passed through the attendant's helmet and went straight through his head. Blood flowed freely from under the armor, showing that the dead could no longer die. "Enemy attack!"
The first person to react was the prisoner Bob. He pulled out his cross sword, kicked the horse in the belly with excitement, and immediately galloped towards the opposite hillside. "This fool, he will die if he goes alone! Follow him!" The clone said calmly to the two knights and attendants beside him. Everyone nodded immediately and galloped on their horses to catch up with Bob, who was laughing.
Only then did the clone have time to look up towards the hillside. On the bare hillside, a soldier wearing leather armor and partial iron armor was riding on a horse, loading the crossbow in his hand. Bob, who was the first to bear the brunt, immediately waved the cross sword excitedly and shouted: "Little guy! I'll send you to see Enos!" As the team climbed up the hillside, he saw that this enemy who didn't know the heights of the sky was still not alert at all, just pulling the cross The string of the crossbow is cocked. But at this moment, the clone closed his eyes, and all the knights and attendants saw the invisible behind from behind the hillside. Suddenly, more than forty heads and bodies appeared, followed by axes and swords in their hands, and brown war horses at their crotches!
"My Enos!" Bob, who was running at the front, immediately fell back and held the horse's rope hard. The war horse was almost knocked over to the ground by Bob's move, and it stood up and started to scream. The expressions of all the knights and attendants, including the clones, changed greatly! This is a trap arranged by the enemy! "Back up, back up!"
The knight holding the map immediately shouted at the top of his lungs! After saying that, he immediately turned the panicked war horse and ran back. The knights and squires, the clone and Bob, immediately turned their horses. The distance between them was too short to launch an effective charge. You must distance yourself to calm your mind before you can launch an effective attack. However, the clone who quickly picked up the shield hanging on the war horse did not think that these enemies would be so kind.
Turning around, he saw more than forty enemy troops on the hillside. The leader was a bald man with a thick beard and wearing armor that covered his whole body. It was very obvious to see the undisguised expression of surprise on his face. Because he could see that there were actually four knights in this scout team of the Principality of Kasmi! The various coats of arms made him happy. If you capture these knights, you can get a large ransom and military honors in exchange! Naturally, the thick-browed and bearded leader immediately ignored the reason why a scout team had four knights.
The clone's eyes narrowed, and he immediately saw clearly that this big man was also a noble, and maybe he was a knight like them. The armor on the chest was tattooed with a bear head with its mouth open and roaring, making the clone's expression immediately darken. This is the Kingdom of Malta, the reinforcements invited by Ai Xinzhe. The Kingdom of Malta worships the giant bear. The armor is also often decorated with totems of giant bears. According to the news received by Baron Hank, these enemy reinforcements should not have arrived at the border so quickly.
While the clone was thinking about it secretly, only a moment passed. The big man immediately roared, raised the crossbow in his hand and shouted: "Shoot all the horses and try to keep them alive! They have four knights!" After that, the more than 40 cavalrymen immediately raised their crossbows and pointed them at the people who were running back. The war horse under the clone's crotch and others immediately pressed the trigger.
"Stop the horses. If you have a crossbow, use a shield!" The clone immediately yelled. Bob and those knight attendants were also trained elites. Upon hearing the clone's roar, he immediately reined in the running horses and turned the horses' heads back to face the enemy with great skill. He quickly took off the shields with heraldry from his side and back. He pressed his whole body against the horse's back, and then used his shield to pass over the horse's head to protect himself and the horse's head. "Duh duh duh!"
Immediately, the sound of cracking on the shield echoed in everyone's ears. The clone could even feel the huge force hitting the shield, almost knocking it away. Two or three crossbow bolts even broke through the oak shield, revealing sharp arrows in front of the clone's eyes. At best, there were only more than forty arrows, and they were all shot in the blink of an eye. Accompanied by the occasional wailing and falling sounds of a few arrow-hit horses nearby. The avatar was at the moment when everyone was at a loss, so he immediately stood up and became their backbone: "The one whose horse is hit by an arrow hides far away!"
The clone straightened up, cut off the arrows on the shield with a sword, then stepped forward with the horse and shouted at several attendants whose horses had been hit by arrows. Pointing the sword at his attendant Salander, the clone, full of fighting spirit, then shouted: "Salander, hurry back to the city and say that you have found a large-scale Maltese scout team! Go quickly!" Salander just thought As a knight's squire, you can't leave the knight alone. However, he is not pedantic and knows that this situation is for the greater good. Military situation is always more important than the lives of soldiers. He immediately shouted and galloped away on his horse, rushing towards the Green Fortress that vaguely stood on the horizon in the distance.
PS: This is my first time writing a war scene. I don’t know if the writing is good or not, and I feel unsure. What do you think?
