Our family is in decline

"Barlistan, protect him and be careful with crossbows." Seeing his excitement, Lance quickly called over the veterans.

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

The farmer stood on the high platform and looked outside. His appearance did make the guards hesitate.

The news they received said 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, a crossbow arrow suddenly shot out of the corner and flew straight over.

Just as he was about to hit the farmer, a shield appeared in front of him to block the crossbow arrow.

"Stand behind me!" the veteran yelled, raising his shield in front of him, squatting down slightly and lowering his head, so that the shield could cover as much of the body as possible to reduce the risk of exposure.

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

The man's death was not yet imminent. 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. His fear was followed by anger, and he started to curse.

"What are you losers doing? If you see clearly it's me, put down your weapons and get away!"

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

It was a battle between bullets and shields. The distance consumed most of the power and the lead bullets were soft. As soon as they touched the shield, the projectiles turned into fragments and flew, even scratching the farmer's cheek.

The veteran still stood firm. Even if the projectile hit the shield, it would be difficult to shake it. His movements protected himself very well. This is the experience of the battlefield.

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

Upon seeing this, the veteran simply kicked him down, and at the same time maintained his posture and lifted his shield to withdraw from the lookout.

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

Lance knew before he came that the guards had been replaced by David's own people, so why did he let the farmer show his face and risk it?

Because he needs a decoy to attract fire and trigger those possible dangers.

At the same time, buy time for his next action.

And now it's done!

The horse that originally pulled the carriage disappeared and was replaced by Lance. As he pushed, the carriage stuck at the door began to retreat, and soon accelerated and slid away to make way for the space, revealing the tall knight mounting the horse behind. .

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

There is a big difference in strength between armored and unarmored knights, and the same goes for those with and without horses.

The only flintlock gun that might threaten Leonard took at least thirty seconds to reload.

This is enough.

"For the Holy Light!"

Leonard yelled angrily and kicked the horse in the belly. The pained horse neighed and ran, directly towards the guards who raised the wooden door.

These people were already on the verge of collapse in the face of Disma's unfailing cold arrows. As long as they showed up, they would die. Being able to organize a defense without running away 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 horse hooves sounded like a death knell.

The last bit of sanity collapsed.

The guards fled in all directions, and the two wooden doors that were propped up collapsed. However, Leonard didn't have the slightest intention of letting them go, so he rode on horseback.

Unable to escape with the awareness of protection, he turned around like crazy and wanted to attack, but his desperate attack could not even stop Leonard's actions. The long sword swept past a flying head.

"Drop the weapon!"

"Everyone get down!"

"Surrender without killing!"

The guards were killed by Leonard and were stripped of their armor. After he shouted a few times, they all dropped their weapons and fell down to surrender.

Leonard rode around and patrolled, but no one dared to stand around.

A long gun was stretched out from the wooden shed on the other side, and the muzzle was pointed at Leonard.

"Bang!"

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

Leonard seemed to feel something and turned his head to look aside. Looking at the muzzle of the gun still emitting a trace of smoke in the earthen wall, he knew what had happened.

"ah!"

The next moment screams came, and Leonard turned around and saw something rolling down from the bullpen. When it hit the ground, he realized it was a person.

Disma retracted his spear and reloaded it, not forgetting to complain.

"You don't know how to change the place even if you're playing blackmail?"

When a flintlock gun fires, there will be obvious flames and smoke. If there is no cover, the position will definitely be exposed as long as the gun is fired, so experienced black guns will fire one shot and change the position.

A rookie like this who takes two 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 gun captured on the old road finally came into play.

Otherwise, how could he suppress more than a dozen guards with his own firepower before?

However, the man did not die after falling, but struggled to stand up, turned around and ran away.

"He's David, catch him!"

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

It's just that he was very stubborn and actually wanted to resist. He didn't stop until the sword was placed on his neck and he was pressed back.

Lance and the veterans were cleaning the battlefield, collecting the living guard weapons and driving them aside. As for the dead bodies, they were all dragged into the carriage and sacrificed.

Feeling the increasing [gift] in his body, Lance finally smiled, like a rat storing winter food, feeling the joy of a good harvest.

In fact, it was all dealt with very quickly, because not many people survived~

The seven men in charge of the manor in front were all dead. Fourteen of the guards who came to participate in the siege, including David himself, totaled twenty-one. Only eight are still alive until now.

Twenty-one-four, that's five times the strength. Anyone who sees it must say "I have the advantage!"

But when the two teams collided, the escort team that David had worked so hard to build was almost completely wiped out. On the contrary, Lance's team didn't even have any wounds.

There was no way, the few veterans around Lance were all battle-hardened veterans, and they were not comparable to the guards David had trained in a hurry for more than ten days.

Not to mention the huge gap in equipment.

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

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

There is also an effective tactical arrangement, using an elite team to infiltrate, directly avoiding a head-on confrontation, and not giving the opponent the advantage of terrain and numbers, but using one's own advantages to divide the battlefield.
