Chapter 22: Driving the tiger away from the mountain
The guards of the Setiga family were also well-trained and well-equipped professional soldiers. They responded quickly, with several infantrymen holding shields at the forefront of the convoy. To buy time for the people behind to put on their equipment, the rest of the soldiers put on their armor and arranged their weapons as quickly as possible, and then quickly joined the defense formation.
Everyone was proceeding in an orderly manner, and no one was actually worried. There were not only more than 20 soldiers in the team, but also five knights and seven knight attendants. Just these armed forces alone could easily wipe out hundreds of bandits.
It seemed that after seeing the nobles' team, they had no intention of entering the jungle. The attackers began to emerge from the woods one after another. There were more than 100 of them. Liu Yuan took a glance and found that only a few of them had some incomplete armor. The vast majority of them were in rags, wrapped in thick animal skins that were simply processed. Even the weapons were varied, and more than half of them were holding farm tools such as sickles, pitchforks, and axes.
His eyes were solemn. Something was not right. None of the bandits had bows and arrows. And the direction they were coming from was not right. There must be someone lying in ambush in the woods where they had just shot arrows. The bandits were shouting as they gradually approached the camp.
Earl Adrian said contemptuously, "I didn't expect that so many bandits could gather near the King's Road. Didn't King's Landing send troops to suppress them some time ago?" The Countess and several servants were putting on his armor. Sir Bandir said softly, "My Lord, I have seen those symbols before. These people should be bandits from the Kingsguard Brotherhood. They have kidnapped nobles and caravans as their main business. I heard that last month the Kingsguard followed the king's order to suppress the Kingsguard. Some of their main leaders have died. These should be the remnants that have fled here."
Adrian chuckled and said, "It doesn't matter. Since we have encountered them today, let's just deal with them! My knights, mount your horses! Let's crush these bandits!"
The Earl led the team himself, with five knights beside him, seven knight attendants and six cavalrymen behind him. The knights used lances for combat, which were different from the lances used in the competition. They were slightly shorter. They did not have the conical guards, and the conical spear head in front was quite sharp, which could pierce through the armored enemy. The cavalrymen used another shorter cavalry spear, with a long blade at the front that had a certain chopping effect.
The momentum of the nineteen riders running was as unstoppable as that of a mighty army. The horses carrying the fully armed knights were not charging fast but very steadily. Soon the distance was shortened to less than 30 meters. Count Atrien took the lead and laid down the knight's lance. The bandits on the opposite side suddenly panicked. Some wanted to flee backwards, while others wanted to rush forward. Some even threw away the messy weapons in their hands in panic.
"Bang, bang, bang!" A series of violent noises were heard from Liu Yuan's perspective. Many people were knocked away by the war horses, and some were trampled by the horses' hooves. From time to time, screams of human beings were heard. The impact of a fully armed war horse was no less than that of a car. The figures that were knocked into the air were proof of this. Liu Yuan was sure that the war horses in this world were also strengthened to a certain extent. The effect of cavalry charge on Earth was definitely not so obvious.
The cavalry of Celtigar waded through the crowd with blood. Several knights, including the earl, had two or three bandits on their lances. Some of them were still wailing on their lances, and the others had blood on their weapons, and they all had gains.
They threw their knights' lances, along with the people wearing them, to the ground. Earl Adrian drew out his sword from his waist, pointed it forward and shouted, "Kill them, warriors! Kill them all!" Then the cavalry rushed into the chaotic crowd, slashing left and right with their swords. The bandits, who only had simple and crude equipment, could not resist at all. They did not hold out for long before they were defeated. But these people did not run to the nearest woods, but ran towards the hills on the other side.
Seeing that the bandits had collapsed, the infantrymen who were slowly approaching the battlefield, under the command of the earl, cooperated with the cavalry to hunt down the bandits. Earl Adrian's military accomplishment was still good, and he would avoid the cavalry advancing alone under any circumstances. Only six halberd soldiers with spears and axes and two crossbowmen were left to return to protect the camp, and the others fell behind the bandits and killed those who fell behind.
The camp was not idle. The Countess's ability was evident at this time. She organized all the servants and distributed one-handed swords to them as self-defense weapons. She gathered all the female relatives in the middle of several carriages. Just when the battle was going on, she also sent people to drag back the unlucky guys from the river.
Steward Roy held the sword tightly and stood in front of the Countess. Becot also held the sword at this time. Since he had just turned 11, he did not have a suitable armor, but simply put on a chain mail. He looked at the crowd in excitement, and wanted to chase his father immediately!
As several soldiers returned, the servants gradually relaxed. But Liu Yuan stared at the forest by the river, and the sense of urgency became stronger and stronger. Sure enough, not long after, another large group of people ran out of the woods.
These people were different from the mob just now. They all had some armor, and their weapons were regular swords and spears. More importantly, there were about a dozen archers, who were running and shooting arrows at the camp.
Roy's eyes were red with anger because he saw five or six more bandits on horseback. This meant that even if the lady and the young master rode away on horseback, they might not be able to escape the enemy's pursuit. He immediately shouted, "Come on, push the carriage over. Everyone, come together, even if you risk your life, you must protect the lady and the young master. As long as the lord comes back, we will be safe." It must be said that Roy's emergency response method was correct. Although the bandits on the opposite side looked very fierce, the number of both sides was not much different. If they fought to the death to stop them, they could still keep their families safe.
Roy glanced at the brazier nearby and kicked it over with all his might, causing the charcoal fire inside to spill onto the tent nearby. He didn't care what was inside at this point, as the tent was quickly ignited. Thick black smoke rushed straight up, and he now hoped that the lord could discover the danger here in time and rush back to help.
Most of the servants followed Roy's command, abandoned the messy baggage, and gathered in the middle. They picked up some wooden boards and iron pots as shields.
