Volume 2 The Iron Baron Chapter 131 The Battle of Nolandenburg (5)
This method of throwing spears down from trees was something Balian had seen used by hunters in his previous life. After he told Balin about it, Balin said that he, a hunter, had often used this method to hunt wild boars in the forest before.
These heavy throwing guns were thrown from a tree seven or eight meters high, enough to pin a strong adult wild boar in place, let alone a human. However, because the throwing guns were inconvenient to carry, Bahrain's men only carried them by one person.
He climbed up the tree with a pole.
However, this sneak attack eliminated nearly half of the pirates below, which made Bahrain and others happy. As for how to eliminate the five or six remaining pirates next, it would be even simpler.
I saw these pirates raising their shields to protect themselves from the enemies in the trees. Their shields were all raised above their heads, and their eyes were fixed on the situation in the trees. They did not consider the enemies coming from the front at all. This is not their fault. After all,
Who can quickly make a switch that can defend up, down, left, and right after being attacked on the head?
Just the sound of bowstrings was heard, and about a dozen archers shot at them intensively, and they shot at close range. These little pirates did not wear chainmail, and the best-equipped leader was only an iron-lined armor.
Not to mention those ordinary pirates.
Under close fire within fifty steps of a fifty-sixty-pound longbow, except for the leader of this group of pirates who was seriously injured, all the other pirates were shot dead on the spot. From the time the people in the trees were throwing guns to the present,
In just a dozen breaths, this group of pirates was completely wiped out.
As for the seriously injured pirate leader, of course Bahrain kept him useful. They tied the pirate leader to a tree and lit a fire next to him. In the late autumn jungle, the fire lit up, and those who were still there were
The dying insects all came towards the light.
Soon, many bugs crawled all over the pirate leader's body. He was already seriously injured, but now he was even more miserable. The itching of mosquito bites and the pain of the arrow wound made this self-proclaimed tough guy,
He couldn't help but howl. He wanted to use his shouts and calls for help to get another team of brothers to come and save him.
However, another team of pirates was even worse than theirs. After they arrived near the fire, they stepped into a pit. Half of them fell into the pit on the spot. These people were stabbed to death by the sharp wooden stakes at the bottom of the pit.
The blood gourd died more tragically than his friends who were stabbed to death with spears and shot with bows and arrows.
Seeing that something was wrong, the leader of this group of pirates immediately ran away with the rest of his companions. However, Bahrain's men had already pulled a stumbling rope on their way back. The five or six pirates were caught before they could get very far.
Stumbling on the horse's rope.
One of the unlucky pirates tripped and hit his forehead on a rock. His brain was fractured on the spot and he died beyond hope.
The pirate leader of this team and his remaining men were completely frightened at this time. They got up and wanted to continue running forward and back to the camp. But before they could get up, Bu Bu was ambushing nearby.
The soldiers of Rick's reconnaissance team and the militia soldiers who came to help knocked them down on the spot. The two pirates who dared to pull out their daggers to resist were directly hacked to death by the militia soldiers.
The pirate leader and two of his men were all captured, but the Bricks did not intend to capture them. Instead, they directly tied them to a nearby tree and also burned them beside them.
They set up a fire, let the insects come and bite them, and forced the three of them to shout for help.
The pirate leader naturally understood what the Bricks had a bad idea, which was to attract people from their camp and kill them in the same way. Therefore, he refused to call for help and did not let his two
The men shouted.
The soldiers of the Norlandenburg militia and the reconnaissance team would have little patience with them, and their lord, Lord Balian, told them about the heinous and brutal acts committed by these pirates in Yangweixo Province.
Naturally, these soldiers would not treat them very politely.
After some painful torture, the two ordinary pirates finally couldn't stand it any longer and shouted for help. The pirate leader was killed on the spot by the reconnaissance team for not cooperating.
On the other side, the seriously injured pirate leader had tears of humiliation in his eyes after hearing the tragic cry for help from his partner on the same mission. He really didn't understand why the brave Toba Island warriors were like this.
Lost to the insidious Brick people.
However, he didn't need to think about it anymore. Soon, after shouting a few times, the little pirate leader completely stopped moving due to excessive bleeding.
At this time, in the camp, looking at the rekindled fire two to three hundred paces away, and hearing the painful cries for help from his men, Asedan felt extremely painful. These soldiers, whom he regarded as weak children, were just like this.
The insidious Bricks were killed.
"Hey!" A pirate standing next to him sighed angrily and banged on the camp door. He stared at Asedan with burning eyes and asked: "Dad, the brothers are asking for help! Let's take a step and they will
You might die!"
"Pop!" A loud slap sounded, leaving a bright red slap mark on the pirate's face, which was slapped by Asedan.
"Get back to the boat, we won't spend the night on the shore tonight!" Asedan gave the order in a stern tone.
The pirate who got slapped said with tears in his eyes: "Dad, those two teams of brothers are still outside, they..."
"Pa!" There was another loud slap, and then Arthedan's roar came, "Idiot! Aren't enough people dying tonight? Are you going to send more people to die? You don't know what the hunters will do
Pain the wolf pups and make them howl to attract the male and female wolves?
Now! Immediately! Immediately! Pack your things and let us go back to the boat. We will rest in the center of the lake tonight. Anyone who talks more will be beheaded!"
After hearing Arthedan's angry rebuke, the pirates were silent for a while, then decisively packed up their belongings and went to the dock to board the ship.
To say that they are dissatisfied, they must be dissatisfied, but calm down and think about what Asedan said is correct. These Bricks could have killed the remaining pirates, but they actually left them wailing there.
Isn't it a trap?
They knew it was a trap but still jumped in. That was the act of a fool. They couldn't do that. However, listening to the miserable wails and calls for help from their brothers, they had to evacuate. This group of pirates felt very uncomfortable.
.
Since they received training at the age of five, the instructors told them that the reason why the Toba Islanders were able to establish a foothold in the small land of Toba Island and plunder the countries on the Xingal and Weilin continents was because
They are united, and they will never abandon their brothers on the battlefield, even if it means sacrificing their lives.
But today, Arsedan's order made them understand it intellectually, but they couldn't accept it emotionally. They abandoned their comrades and ran away on their own. This completely went against the values they had been instilled in them since childhood.
Arsedan, who made this decision, was also very painful. He knew that his decision would chill his brothers, but he had to make this decision because he knew that the emotional loss was terrible, but it was far from constant.
It's terrible to add lives but get no results.
It is easy to say harsh words, ignore the safety of his men, and do reckless things, but that is not what a qualified commander should do, only rational judgment. Asedan knows that he only has more than 500 people, which seems like a lot, but No.
The methods shown by the Landenburgers tonight gave him a premonition that this group of people would be difficult to deal with, and he was afraid that he would have to be prepared to make great sacrifices.
