Lord of Riding and Slashing

The terrain around Twin City is very flat in the north. Because of its unique geographical advantage, Twin City is the central city in the entire north and the largest city in the north, not just because it is Twin. The territory of the Marquis.

Therefore, the knights outside Twin City actually have a place. Although they can't make long-distance charges, the twenty-odd knights of Earl Mandel also look very spectacular, especially since each of them is wearing bright and bright clothes. The chain mail looked a little dazzling unexpectedly.

The crossbowmen of the three squadrons in the camp have been lined up. Nord uses the classic three-stage formation, which basically guarantees the continuous output of the crossbowmen. They are in the formation of the crossbowmen that are ready for battle. Quite silent, they held crossbows in their hands and listened attentively to the instructions. As long as the order was given, these one hundred and fifty crossbowmen could explode like a stormy offensive. If these twenty knights dared to rush into the battle, Nord Ensure that they will never return.

Obviously Earl Mandel was not so stupid. Looking at the heavily guarded camp, he would certainly not rush in like a stunned young man. Earl Mandel was just trying to probe the reality of Nord, he didn’t. Just joking about his own life, Earl Mandel and others stopped their horses just before the crossbowmen's two hundred steps.

Seeing the neat queue and calm style of the soldiers on the opposite side, Earl Mandel’s heart gradually sank, because he could feel an infinite pressure. The soldiers on the opposite side should not be easy to provoke, like a hard stubble. I need to go back and re-planning. With such a variable, tomorrow's siege plan may not be carried out normally.

As soon as Count Mandel waved his hand, he was about to return to his camp. Just as he turned his horse's head, he suddenly heard a neat bowstring vibration, followed by a swishing arrow breaking through the air, and Count Mandel shouted no in his heart. Well, he is too familiar with this kind of sound. It must be that the enemy on the opposite side released an arrow at them, but Earl Mandel still has some doubts in his heart. Is the bow and arrow useful at such a distance?

Nord looked at the knights who had stopped on the opposite side. A hint of disappointment flashed in his eyes. If they walked in a little bit, they would have entered the effective range of the crossbowmen, because they were wearing chain mail, even black iron wood. The 200-meter range of the crossbow can only be fatal, so after seeing them stop, Nord decisively ordered the arrows to be released.

Since you are here, don’t leave it so easily. Even if the crossbow’s does not cause much damage to them, Nord will give him a prestige to let them know that he is not easy to provoke, it is not he who comes as he wants. Just leave if you want.

With an order from Nord, the crossbowmen in the first row pulled the trigger first, then quickly squatted down and assembled the crossbow bolts, then the second row and the third row alternated in turn, keeping as much as possible. The crossbow arrows are endless, and this set of procedures has been repeatedly trained for a long time, and the soldiers will not make mistakes at all.

The crossbow bolts are used to cover the blow. Because there are only more than twenty enemies, Nord’s crossbowmen can cover that area with firepower. Even if they are not good at shooting, the number and strength of the crossbow bolts are enough for them to drink a pot. Yes, so Nord saw that after he gave orders, a continuous rain of arrows flooded the twenty knights on the opposite side.

Earl Mandel was too late when he heard the sound of the crossbow bolt. The horses could not run faster than the crossbow bolt, and Earl Mandel felt a huge force behind him. He snorted, knowing that he had hit the arrow. Fortunately, I was wearing a thick layer of chain mail, otherwise I would be planted here today.

　　 "Quickly withdraw!"

Earl Mandel lashed the seated horse with a whip, and after roaring at the others, he immediately rushed towards his camp. In fact, there was no need for Earl Mandel to remind him that each of them ran very fast. In this case, no one would stay there stupidly.

But Nord’s Black Iron Wood Crossbow is not vegetarian either. Although it can’t penetrate the chain mail at such a distance, if it shoots to some places without armor protection, it still has a lot of lethality, so it’s In these short tens of seconds, Earl Mandel and others seemed to be unable to feel the passage of time, and every second felt so long.

In fact, it is only a distance of one hundred meters, because the limit range of the black iron wood crossbow is only more than three hundred meters, and the more the crossbow arrow is behind, the weaker it is. This short distance of one hundred meters makes nothing at all. The prepared knights suffered a big loss. Although the damage was not very serious, it was just that one hapless guy was shot in the gap between the helmet and the chain mail with a crossbow and was killed on the spot. Others did not suffer much casualties. .

It was just very embarrassing. At least ten knights were shot off by the crossbowmen. When they fell from the horse, these knights were dizzy. After recognizing the direction, these knights stepped forward and ran towards the camp. In a life-and-death situation, everyone exploded their potential, and the 100-meter sprint ran for at least ten seconds.

After rushing out of the range of the crossbowmen, Earl Mandel and others did not look back, nor did they count the casualties of their subordinates. They went straight back to their camp. A group of fallen knights followed on foot, and when they came out, Compared with the menacing scene of riding a war horse, it looks unusually embarrassing at this moment.

All of this was seen by a nobleman standing on the wall of Twin City. The chain mail of this nobleman was soaked with blood~www.readwn.com~ It is difficult to distinguish whether it is the enemy or his own. He was about the same age as Earl Mandel, and his hair was beginning to turn gray, but his body was stronger, his face looked very tough, he didn't look angry, and Gustav was standing by his side.

The small-scale friction that occurred under the city must have been unable to escape the vision of everyone in Twin City. In fact, when Earl Mandel’s men rode out of the camp on a horse, someone had already reported the news to the Marquis of Twin. , And then he saw the scene under the city clearly.

　　 "Our chance is here, give all of your liquor to the soldiers, and tomorrow will go out of the city with me to meet the enemy. I have been crushed and beaten by them for the past few days. I really can't swallow the breath in my heart."

　　 The Marquis of Twine commanded to Gustav without looking back. They kept their eyes fixed on the direction of Nord’s camp. If it weren’t for the sudden departure of Earl Mandel and others, the Marquis of Twin hadn’t really noticed when there was an extra team of reinforcements outside the city. For so many days, let’s not say. It was the soldiers of Twin City, and even the Marquis of Twin didn't have much hope.

In half a month, even if the news is blocked again, it is enough to come and support the city of Twin, but for so many days, the Marquis of Twin has not seen the arrival of a reinforcement army, if not at this time, it is true Will not come.

This situation makes the Marquis of Twin more sad than the rebellion of the three earls under him. Unexpectedly, he has ruled the roost in the North for so many years, and no nobleman has come to support him. If there is no reinforcements, the Marquis of Twin will not know that he will be back. Can hold on for a few days.
