our family is gone

Chapter 29 Defeated
"Barristan, protect him, be careful of the crossbow arrows." Seeing his agitation, Lance quickly recruited veterans.

"Leave it to me." Barristan followed, raising his hand and raising his shield.

The farmer stood on the high platform and looked out. His appearance really made the guards hesitate.

The news they received was that someone broke in and killed the farmer, but why did the farmer show up at this time?
"David is a traitor! You..."

Before the farmer finished speaking, he didn't know that a crossbow arrow suddenly shot out from that corner and flew straight over.

Seeing that it was about to hit the farmer, a shield appeared in front of him to block the crossbow.

"Stand behind me!" The veteran raised his shield and yelled, squatting down slightly and lowering his head, trying to let the shield cover as much of his body as possible to reduce the risk of exposure.

On the other side, Disma also found half of the crossbowman's body, and pulled the trigger without hesitation. In the next second, the crossbowman's neck was pierced by an arrow and fell to the ground.

The man's death was not yet approaching, and he kept struggling to survive, but the blood poured into his lungs and he suffocated to death.

Only then did the farmer come to his senses, fear was followed by anger, and he cursed loudly.

"What are you trash doing? See clearly it's me, hurry up and put down your weapons and go away!"

But a "bang" gunshot interrupted his words again, and almost at the same time there was the sound of metal collisions.

It was a contest between the bullet and the shield. The distance consumed most of the strength and the lead bullet was soft. As soon as it touched the shield surface, the projectile turned into fragments and splashed, even scratching the farmer's cheek.

The veteran still stood firm, even if the projectile hit the shield, he could hardly shake it. His movements protected himself very well. This is the experience on the battlefield.

But the farmer couldn't do it. He was frightened by two attacks and fell to the ground, holding his head in panic to avoid the gunman who didn't know where he was.

Seeing this, the veteran simply kicked him off, and at the same time kept his posture and raised his shield to withdraw from the watchtower.

Although the farmer has become a ground gourd, there is no danger when he returns to the ground with the protection of the earth wall.

Before Lance came, he knew that the guards had been replaced by David, so why did he let the farmer show his face and take risks?

Because he needs a bait to attract firepower and trigger those possible dangers.

At the same time buy time for his next action.

And now it's done!

The horse pulling the carriage on top of the carriage disappeared, replaced by Lance, and as he pushed the carriage stuck at the door, it began to retreat, and quickly slid away to make room, revealing the tall knight on the horse behind. .

Just seeing this scene made the guards outside feel a suffocating pressure.

There is a big gap in strength between armored and unarmored knights, as well as horses and horseless knights.

The only flintlock gun that could possibly threaten Leonard took at least 30 seconds to reload.

This is enough.

"For the Holy Light!"

Leonard screamed and kicked the horse's belly. The painful horse neighed and then ran, rushing directly towards the guards who raised the wooden door.

These people were already on the verge of collapse in the face of Disma's relentless arrows. As long as they showed their heads, they would die. They were able to organize defenses without running away directly, which was worthy of the more than ten days of training.

And now they were faced with a charging knight in full armor, and the sound of hooves sounded like a death knell.

The last trace of sanity collapsed directly.

The guards fled in all directions, and the two raised wooden doors also collapsed, but Leonard didn't have the slightest intention of letting them go, and ran away on horseback.

With the consciousness of being a guard and unable to escape, he turned around frantically and wanted to attack, but his desperate attack could not even stop Leonard's movement, and the long sword swept across a flying head.

"Drop the weapon!"

"All down!"

"Surrender without killing!"

Those guards were killed by Leonard, and after he shouted a few times, they dropped their weapons and surrendered.

Leonard rode around on horseback, and no one dared to stand around.

And in the wooden shed on the other side, a long gun was sticking out, pointing the muzzle at Leonard.

"Oh!"

The fire suddenly appeared, and a wisp of black smoke slowly floated up.

Leonard seemed to have a feeling and turned his head to look aside, looking at the muzzle of the gun that was still emitting a little smoke in the earth wall, he knew what happened.

"what!"

The next moment there was a scream, and Leonard turned his head and saw something rolling down from the cowshed, and he didn't realize it was a person until it hit the ground.

Disma withdrew his long gun and reloaded, not forgetting to complain.

"Don't you know how to change the place if you hit the black gun?"

When the flintlock fires, there will be obvious flames and smoke. As long as the gun is fired without cover, the position will definitely be exposed, so experienced black guns will shoot one shot to change the location.

A rookie like this who takes 2 minutes to reload is a target in front of him.

You must know that he is not the only one who has a long gun. The long-barreled flintlock that was seized on the old road finally played a role.

Otherwise, how could he suppress a dozen guards with his own firepower?
It's just that the man didn't die after falling down, but struggled to get up and turned around to run away.

"He's David, grab him!"

Lance yelled quickly when he saw this, and Leonard immediately rode away, slapped him on the back with a sword when he passed by, and knocked him to the ground.

It's just that he was very tenacious, and he still wanted to resist, until the long sword rested on his neck, and he was pressed back.

Lance and the veteran were cleaning the battlefield, collected the live guard weapons and rushed them aside. As for the dead bodies, they were all dragged into the carriage for sacrifice.

Feeling the increased [gift] in his body, Lance finally laughed, like a mouse storing winter grain, feeling the joy of a good harvest.

In fact, it will be finished soon, because there are not many who can survive~
The seven people who were in charge of the manor in front were all dead, and the guards who came to participate in the siege included 21 of David himself, a total of [-], and only eight of them are still alive.

21 against four, that's five times the strength of the troops, and whoever sees it will say "I have the advantage!".

But at the moment when the two teams collided, David's hard-working guard was almost wiped out. On the contrary, Lance's team didn't even have any wounds.

There was no way, the few experienced veterans around Lance were not comparable to the guards that David had trained for more than ten days in a hurry.

Not to mention the huge gap in equipment.

Disma defended the city alone, with three crossbows and two muskets beside him.

Both Leonard and Barristan were heavily armored, one with a horse and the other with a shield.

There is also an effective tactical arrangement, adopting an elite squad to sneak in, directly avoiding a direct confrontation, not giving the opponent the advantage of terrain and numbers, but using one's own advantages to divide the battlefield.
