"what is that?"
"Attack! It's an attack, send the alarm! Kill those horses, including the people on the carriage!"
The team leader immediately realized, what a joke, there were actually bastards who attacked the armory!
One soldier ran away, and the rest drew their weapons. Everyone held a crossbow and pointed the arrow at the horse rushing over.
It is not difficult for a military crossbow to kill a horse pulling a cart.
A strong wind blew from the sky to the ground, rolling up thousands of piles of snow. The wind and snow mixed together to form a terrible blizzard, which made all the soldiers present unable to open their eyes.
The leader lost his sight, but he was unwilling to give up. The trajectory of the carriage appeared in his mind. According to the expected position, he suddenly pressed the hand crossbow, and with a bang, a crossbow arrow flew out.
If he wanted to hit the pulling horse at ordinary times, he would only need to aim for a few seconds at his level, but the current harsh environment did not give him time to prepare, and the crossbow arrows shot lost their accuracy due to the wind, and they did not know how to fly. Where did it go.
"Stop this carriage!"
The leader roared wildly, and the wind quickly stuffed snow into his mouth. He choked and coughed several times, then fell to the snow and twitched.
There were guards at the entrance of the armory, but there were not many of them, and their quality was of concern. There were no steam mechas.
It seems that the armory is not the key defense target of the new nobles.
Everything was almost as Zhou Jinru expected.
With a bang, the two horses crashed through the door of the armory, dragging thick smoke and haystacks filled with flames into the interior of the armory. In an instant, dozens of soldiers surrounded them, and a dozen long guns were stabbed at the puller. The sharp spear blade pierced the horse's skin while the packhorse was being carried, and hot blood spattered out.
The horse, frantic with pain, raised its front hooves and immediately kicked down the two soldiers at the front. There were two bloody holes in its chest and it looked like it was dead.
I don't know when the rope tying the two horses broke. The crazy horses rushed towards the soldiers blocking the front. The two collided with each other and knocked two people away. The out-of-control animals were hit with crossbows by the soldiers who caught up from behind. Shot down, the huge body fell to the ground.
The burning car continued to move forward under the influence of inertia. The forward-leaning crossbar rubbed against the ground and made an unpleasant sound. No one stopped it. It finally hit a concrete step. The impact caused the car to fly up and hang upside down. In the air, burning objects were flying in all directions, and thick smoke filled the entire armory with a choking smell.
A man wearing light armor asked loudly:
"Which of you saw the driver?"
He didn't get a valid answer. When the carriage rushed over, there seemed to be no one on the carriage.
There is not much we can do. There are a lot of wooden utensils in the armory. Once they burn, the consequences will be disastrous.
"Quickly put out the fire! Quickly!"
The soldiers hurriedly found basins, buckets, and even cups for brushing their teeth. For some reason, there were only sporadic fires, but suddenly there were several more fire points, and there was wind blowing inside, fueling the raging flames.
"Put out the fire! Put out the fire!"
boom!
A ball of flames shot up into the sky, igniting the roof of the armory, and timber fell from the sky from time to time.
This fire can't be saved!
This thought arose in everyone's mind. The first person ran away, followed by the second person, the third person, the fourth person...
In less than ten minutes, the armory turned into a huge torch, rising thick black smoke, and the firelight shone on everyone's face.
Obviously there were no casualties, it was just a burning carriage that rushed into the armory. As a result, the fire broke out and no one could save it.
The soldiers looked at each other, wondering what fate awaited them next.
Boom!
A crossbow arrow shot from a distance and hit a soldier's right leg. The crossbow arrow penetrated his thigh. Blood flowed along the arrow branch and dyed a piece of snow red.
"Attack! Attack! There are enemies!"
Almost at the same time, the soldiers began to look for bunkers. Two brave soldiers crouched and dragged their injured companions behind the bunkers.
Boom!
Another crossbow arrow wounded a soldier again.
There was white snow in their sight. They opened their eyes wide and tried hard to find it, but they couldn't even find the enemy's location.
After a few minutes, nearby police officers were attracted by the fire in the armory, which meant that the attacker had left for a long time.
…
"Coward! You didn't even find out where the enemy is or who he is!"
A woman with long orange-red hair roared angrily.
"It's snowing heavily today, and the soldiers are not yet familiar with the combat environment. The opponent is at least a very capable expert, and cannot be dealt with by ordinary soldiers."
The woman did not intend to continue to listen to the sophistry explanation. She slammed her strong fist on the desk and stared at the noble in front of her with dark golden eyes: "This is an insult to the Victorian soldiers. Several soldiers were killed and injured, and they were burned." An armory can still be left intact, this person must pay the price!"
"Colonel, you have privileges, but you must also position yourself correctly. You cannot leave the defense zone without permission!"
"The dragoons will not leave the defense zone!"
The woman slammed the door hard and walked away.
…
The black smoke column in the east of the city was very eye-catching. Many people saw it and couldn't hide it at all. The news of the attack on the armory spread like wildfire.
William threw out a bundle of spears. These weapons were enough to arm a large group of soldiers, but he did not have that many people under his command.
"There are too few of us."
The heavily armed Earl of Arizona said worriedly.
"I know."
William responded.
Several families that originally agreed to act together, now only two have come, and they are all mercenaries.
"Friar, what do you think?"
"Wait a minute, we still have time, now we have to wait for news from the granary."
Kelsey raised her head and said calmly: "William, have you ever thought about what would happen if you can't win?"
William said firmly: "At least we have tried hard and we have been here. His Majesty the King will remember us."
A few minutes later, the good news came that the granary had been taken down and there were mountains of grain inside.
Earl Arizona clenched his fists: "We also distribute food!"
"No!"
Kelsey shook her head: "Just open the warehouse and don't worry about anything."
William rubbed the bridge of his nose and said weakly: "I don't know whether asking you to help is right or wrong."
Both of them are shaking the foundation of the country, leaving irreparable scars in the city of Londinium, which may bleed to death in the near future.
Kelsey didn't speak. She remembered what the man said when parting. The necessary conditions were not sufficient. No matter how hard she tried, she couldn't ignite a spark. She could only tell the country that they had been here.
