Chapter 35 First Shot
The rapid bell of "Dang Dang Dang" sounded, and Abel was taken aback. He picked up the compound bow and quiver, and ran quickly to the gate of the castle. When passing the square, the residents in the square were a little panicked. I don't know what happened.
Going up the parapet from the side ladder beside the parapet, I saw a Marshall knight in armour standing there, with more than twenty guards with spears standing beside them.
Seeing Abel's arrival, Knight Marshall said worriedly: "Abel, why did you come up, it's dangerous here, you go back to the castle first."
Abel put his head out and glanced outside the protective wall. Just as he stuck his head out, an arrow shot at him. He quickly retracted his head and shot the flying arrow.
But just at that glance, Abel had already seen nearly twenty orcs outside the protective wall, some were wolf cavalrymen, and some were tauren riding on fire and rushing to the bull.
"Why are orcs here?" Abel asked in surprise.
"There are almost two or three teams of orcs here. With these troops, they have the strength to attack the castle." Knight Marshall sneered, and then said: "They underestimate Harry Castle too much."
"What about the archers? Just let them show off their power outside like this?" Abel, who had just been shot with an arrow, was a little annoyed.
"There are only five archers in the castle. The bow skills are too different. Two archers have been injured. They are not the opponents of these wolf cavalry who have used bows and arrows for many years. I have ordered them not to fight back." Marshall Knight pointed out Looking at the two guards lying beside the parapet, he said with a mocking expression: "The parapet of Harry Castle is not something these guys can break through. They chose the wrong place."
"Are you holding a bow in your hand?" Knight Marshall discovered the compound bow in Abel's hand just now, and said with some doubts looking at the strange appearance of the compound bow.
"It's just finished, it's powerful." Abel picked up the compound bow in his hand with some show off. In this era of backward technology, he spent countless efforts to create such a long-range weapon that surpassed the times, but he couldn't explain it to anyone. At this time, Marshall Knight's question made Abel want to show off a little, but he just responded with a reserved and indifferent sentence.
Marshall Knight took a compound bow, and years of experience in using weapons made him know the general usage of this bow after reading it once.
He took out an arrow from the quiver in Abel's hand and put it on the arrow rest. Looking at the hair spreader, he couldn't help but smile and said to Abel, "Your design is very good, you don't need the strength of your fingers, but use your wrist. You can pull the bowstring with almost no training." Then he found the small trigger on it, took a closer look and said, "No wonder you become a master blacksmith, this little design can easily shoot bows and arrows but It won't hurt your fingers."
The reason why the archers are the most difficult to train is that each archer can only shoot thirty to forty arrows at a time and needs to rest, and the archers' fingers are the most easily injured. Once they are injured, they can no longer use the bow and arrow. Talented people are difficult to find, so there are many guards in the castle, but the art of archery is very rare.
Marshall Knight put the hair spreader on his wrist and pulled the bowstring forcefully. When he pulled it, the bowstring was only stretched a little, and then the white vindictiveness of Marshall Knight's body flashed, and the bow was completely drawn.
Marshall Knight couldn't help but be a little surprised by the strength of this bow. When he used the force just now, he thought it would be easily pulled away, but only 80% of the force was used. How could he know that after pulling it a little, he would not be able to continue. Fortunately, a grudge broke out. In front of his adopted son, he would be humiliated. The intermediate knight could not even draw the bow. If Bennett knew about it, he would laugh at him for the rest of his life.
Then Marshall Knight found another thing that surprised him. After pulling it, the bow can be held for a long time with very little force. He looked at Abel with wide eyes and asked, "How is this bow? ?"
For a while, Marshall Knight didn't know how to ask. Everything about this bow broke his cognition of the bow.
At this time, the knight thought of so many targets outside, and first tried the power of this bow.
The Marshall Knight dodged from the crenel of the parapet, aimed his bow and arrow at a wolf cavalryman, pressed the trigger, and the arrow flew over the wolf cavalry's head.
The orcs under the protective wall saw an arrow coming, and were about to dodge, but the arrow was shooting too fast, and before they had time to react, the arrow had already shot, but the arrow did not hit any orcs, just Flying over the head of a wolf cavalry.
"Ow~Ow~Ow~" The orcs outside the protective wall howled and pointed at Marshall Knight and laughed. A tauren threw a throwing axe at Marshall Knight, but was caught by Marshall Knight.
The Marshall Knight threw the flying axe he caught on the ground, turned his head to Abel and said, "Why can't this bow hit?"
Abel stepped forward and pointed to the sight on the bow and said, "This bow has just been made, and it has only been tested at a distance of 50 meters. At a distance of 50 meters, this bow is a straight line attack."
Marshall Knight knew why he missed the shot as soon as he heard it. According to his past experience, the bow and arrow were aimed at a point above the target, so that when the bow and arrow flew out, there would be a parabola, which could just hit the enemy. It is a straight line attack within a certain distance, so his aim just now may not be empty.
He took out another arrow from his quiver. Knight Marshall drew his bow and listened to the jeers from outside. He stuck out the crenel again and aimed at the tauren who laughed the most. When the trigger was pressed, an arrow was almost Marshall. The moment the knight let go, it appeared on the head of the tauren. The head of the tauren looked like a broken watermelon. The huge penetrating force opened a hole the size of a fist in the head of the tauren, and then the arrow did not stop. , flew to the chest of a wolf cavalry behind him, and plunged into it deeply.
The orcs panicked for a while, and no one thought that the archer who had just shot in the air would hit two birds with one stone this time.
"Arrow!" Marshall Knight stretched out his hand to Abel.
Abel quickly took out an arrow from his quiver and gave it to Knight Marshall.
The Marshall Knight drew the bow again. The distance between these orcs was about 50 to 60 meters from the protective wall. Almost as long as the bow was straightened and the aiming center was aligned, the shot could be hit. The Marshall Knight pressed the trigger again, and it was an orc again. fell to the ground.
Without saying much, Abel directly took out another arrow and sent it to Knight Marshall. Knight Marshall fired three arrows in a row. Six orcs had fallen on the ground outside the castle, and the remaining orcs were stunned. Turn around and run.
The Marshall Knight did not let them go, and took an arrow from Abel. The tauren's mount was not as powerful as the wolf cavalry. At this time, all the tauren remained behind the team. The Marshall Knight aimed at the last tauren. At that time, the tauren had already rushed out a distance of ten meters, a distance of 70 meters. Knight Marshall calculated in his heart that the bow in his hand was aimed horizontally, not a parabola. The same can also keep the tauren, the tauren without a mount can't run the bow in his hand.
At a distance of 70 meters, another arrow was hit in the head, and the tauren fell to the ground.
Up arrow, aim, 80 meters away, press the trigger, the tauren fell to the ground.
Arrow again, aim, 90 meters away, press the trigger, the tauren fell to the ground.
Shoot the arrow again, aim, 100 meters away, press the trigger, and another tauren fell to the ground.
The tauren who ran at the end had reached a distance of about 110 meters. He shot the arrow again and pressed the trigger. This time the arrow hit the tauren's neck. The Marshall Knight glanced at the scale on the sight. The next tick of the sights is up.
The tauren had been killed, and the wolf cavalry had run to a distance of 150 meters at the slowest speed. The Marshall knight put another arrow on the arrow rest, aimed at the wolf cavalry with the second scale of the sight, and pressed down. The trigger was another arrow in the head, and the wolf cavalry was thrown to the ground directly from the Warg by the huge impact.
At this time, the wolf cavalry had already discovered the terrifyingness of the archers, and had already made the action of dodging arrows. A shield against the opponent's bow and arrow.
The Marshall Knight puts down the bow and arrow in his hand. For a knight, he actively kills the opponent's mount on the battlefield, unless he has no choice but to do so. The current Marshall Knight is already twelve points for the victory that has been achieved. Satisfied.
