Chapter 29: Chapter 29: Mistakes
Aslan nodded. Arthur and Gawain beside him looked excited. They thought the Armored Bandits would not come?
"Why are there only 800 people!"
It's just that Aslan reacted quickly, frowned slightly and said.
I remember that when he destroyed the Kaimen Bandit Group in his previous life, he wiped out more than 1,300 bandits and captured more than 1,200.
Kaimen was also very surprised to see the town of Melo that had changed drastically before him.
"This young master from Kyoto is really capable." After Kaimen praised him, he waved his hand, and the team behind him immediately divided into two centurions and started a tentative attack.
Gut raised his hand and clenched his fist, and all the soldiers immediately raised their weapons and were ready to go.
"Let's attack without even saying a word. It's true that people don't talk too much!" Aslan had just arrived when he heard the footsteps of the armored bandit group attacking.
These robbers fiddled with the weapons in their hands at will, with expressions of fanaticism and disdain on their faces. They didn't charge as soon as they came up, but walked towards the town of Melo step by step.
These arrogant and domineering bandits made all the soldiers in Melo town angry. They were provocative and looked down on their soldiers in Melo town.
"No, we are not soldiers, we are fighters."
Suddenly, an old soldier spoke angrily.
The robbers were taken aback for a moment, but they didn't stop for a moment, and continued to move forward unhurriedly.
"Fight for the homeland, fight for the family, fight for Melo!" Gut immediately shouted loudly.
"Fight! Fight! Fight!"
Shouting in unison, the nervousness of many people was dissipated, and Aslan also drew his long sword and stood in front of the team.
Seeing that the lord also took the lead, the morale of the soldiers was even higher.
"Fifty paces away." Arthur suddenly shouted.
The robbers who were advancing suddenly had a premonition of uneasiness.
"Forty steps!"
The knight guards standing at the forefront suddenly spread out to both sides.
Shhhhh...
More than fifty crossbowmen in the rear stood on their stomachs and squatted, and the three echelons shot arrows alternately.
The sound of crossbow arrows breaking through the air resounded all over the battlefield.
The advancing robbers were carried away by the powerful kinetic energy of the crossbow arrows without even screaming, and several of them directly shot through the two of them.
The strong crossbow used by the Melo army was improved by Aslan by referring to the ancient rhubarb crossbow. This long-range weapon is as powerful as a musket.
It is very difficult to open a bow in Chinese history, but it is relatively easier for these soldiers who practice fighting spirit in different worlds.
Training a crossbowman is much easier than an archer. After all, a qualified archer cannot bring out the power of a bow and arrow after a year or two of training.
This wave of arrows rained down, and most of the arrogance of the robbers was extinguished. Some of the timid robbers turned around and ran away, and then were beheaded by the little boss behind the formation.
"Those who retreat will be killed without mercy."
Kaimen, who had been standing at the back and was sure of winning, looked terribly gloomy when he saw the crossbow.
"You guys also take action! After breaking through the town of Melo, massacre the city." Kaimen's cold voice sounded.
"Yes! Boss."
Two ferocious men with big knives came out. They were the bright masters of the Kaimen Bandit Group, and they were all high-level swordsmen.
Seeing the two people who appeared, the corners of Aslan's mouth rose slightly.
"Arthur! Goode! Here comes your opponent."
Arthur smiled calmly, and continued to command the crossbowmen to slaughter those ordinary robbers. These robbers who took the lead were mainly ordinary people, at most a few swordsman apprentices, without even shields. Facing the crossbowmen, they could only be slaughtered .
As for the robbers who have become professionals, they are the main force of the bandit group. There are about a hundred people. Under the leadership of two big men, half of them join the battlefield.
After Gude led the whole village to join the small town of Melo, his forty-year-old wife was pregnant again. Aslan also took this very seriously and went to check it every once in a while.
As a result, Gude opened up his heart knot, successfully broke through the senior swordsman, and became the fourth senior professional in the town of Melo.
The shouts of killing were soaring, and the robbers were threatened by the butcher's knife from the little boss behind them, so they could only bite the bullet and charge forward, but they had become much smarter.
The three of them pulled up the corpses on the ground to serve as shields. As the distance got closer, the power of the crossbow became more terrifying.
Even people and corpses were taken away together, but the speed of fire of the crossbow was not as good as that of bows and arrows. After paying hundreds of casualties, the bandit army had already rushed in front of the Melo army.
The crossbowmen retreated quickly, and they ran to the surrounding roofs. This was one of their daily trainings. Facing enemies without long-range units, the only thing they had to do was to shoot arrows and find a safe place to shoot arrows.
Shhhhh...
Crossbow arrows shot continuously, one by one the robbers fell outside the small town of Melo, one of the big men with a hideous scar on his face jumped up suddenly, and stepped on a robber's shoulder, only heard a click, and the scarred man jumped up high , to the roof to kill.
"Come down for me!" Arthur's voice sounded, and he slashed down with his sword in both hands.
The two swords met, bursting out with dazzling light, and then flew back to their respective teams.
"Senior knight!" Kaimen's face changed slightly when he saw the knight armor on Arthur.
On the other side, the high-ranking swordsman leading the bandits' attack was also blocked.
"two!"
This sound made Najie, who was still not fully recovered from his injury, tremble with fear.
This was something he didn't report, or to be precise, something he didn't know about.
Najie was very worried that Kaimen would punish him afterwards because of the excessive loss.
When did the town of Melo have two more senior professionals.
It was his father who told him that Arthur was an intermediate knight when he first came to the town of Melo. As for Goode, he was an old neighbor, so he naturally knew it well.
"It should be a breakthrough. In the past, both of them were only intermediate professionals, especially Gude. You know this person, leader. It should be because of the ancient ruins. There must be some secrets in the ruins that help professionals break through."
Najie rolled his eyes and shouted decisively.
He knew that Kaimen's whole mind was on breaking through the realm of sword master, and he would never give up as long as there was any chance.
Sure enough, after hearing Najie's words, Kaimen's eyes suddenly lit up, and he turned his gaze back to the battlefield, and soon noticed Aslan who was commanding the battle ahead, and chopped down his subordinates from time to time.
"Who is that person?"
It's no wonder that Kaimen noticed Aslan, because the armor on Aslan's body was so conspicuous that it could be described as a show.
Najie took a closer look, and immediately shouted with joy: "He is Aslan, the lord of Melo Town."
When Kaimen heard this, he immediately let go of his thoughts of admonishing Najie, and slowly hid in the crowd, followed the team towards Aslan, preparing to attack Aslan, the lord, when the time came, the town of Melo would be leaderless and collapse without a fight .
