"Ah!"
Thud! Thud!
Rumble …
The sound of bowstrings vibrating, the sound of flesh being pierced, screams of agony, the violent rumbling of horse hooves, and the sound of rolling carts interweaved together in the air above the official road, forming a scene of war with spears and armored horses.
The only thing that was different from war was …
Everything happened too quickly, and it also ended too quickly!
When the first wave of martial artists tried to intercept the marshall's army from the back and sides, the marshall's heavy-armored cavaliers lifted two repeating crossbows at the same time and pulled the triggers one after another without hesitation.
Hundreds and thousands of crossbow bolts shot out one after another, and that scene was definitely not something that bows could compare to.
Whoosh whoosh!
Whoosh whoosh!
The dense wave of crossbow bolts instantly arrived in front of the martial artists when the crossbows exploded.
The army fired five consecutive shots, and thousands of crossbow bolts shot out one after another. The group of martial artists at the back were instantly dumbfounded. They could not react to the situation and could only watch as the crossbow bolts pierced through them.
The people at the back suffered the worst.
Some people tried to use their steeds to carry them over, but they were killed on the spot along with their steeds. Dozens of people were pinned down on the spot, and their horses neighed shrilly. They turned around and fell to the ground. At the same time, they threw their riders down violently. They crashed into the ground, and both of them turned into porcupines.
The people at the side were slightly better off.
After all, they were wary, and they advanced rather quickly. With their lightness skills, quite a number of people avoided the first wave of crossbow bolts. They raised their hands and threw a wave of hidden weapons at the cavaliers.
Ting! Ting! Ting!
Sparks flew everywhere. All the hidden weapons struck the cavaliers and horses' armor, but they did not affect or damage the armored cavaliers. The caravan continued charging forward as usual, and the second wave of crossbow bolts was fired.
"This is bad!"
When the pursuing martial artists saw that the armored cavaliers were leisurely changing their crossbow bolts and did not show any signs of changing their route or breaking away from the caravan because of their attacks, their faces instantly turned incredibly pale.
Hidden weapons and bows could not deal any damage to the armored cavaliers, which showed just how strong their defenses were.
Besides, each of them had two repeating crossbows that could fire five shots. If they fired one round, the damage would be terrifying. How many people would die?
Some of the people who were intercepting the cavaliers already had thoughts of retreating.
But …
There were still some people who were excited by the system's prompt. After all, a chest contained a million taels of silver and a Low Grade Magic Tool. This caravan was a huge moving treasure house.
Who would be willing to give up so easily?
As shouts rose, more than one hundred martial artists and even more martial artists who charged over from the distance continuously joined the ranks to stop the enemy.
Finally, the first person arrived in front of the cavalrymen. This person seemed to be quite strong and had decent equipment. He successfully dodged two waves of crossbow bolts. With a long laugh, he flew over the heads of the cavalrymen at the side of the caravan and landed on one of the carts. Beneath his feet was the heavy copper nailed chest.
"Haha!"
However, good things didn't last long. The heavily armored cavalrymen on both sides gave up on their crossbows at the same time and pulled out their weapons, slashing at the people on the cart. The whole process was done in one go.
"How are we going to take such a big box?"
One after another, people copied him and leapt onto the carriage. However, when they saw the copper nailed chests that were securely tied to the carriage with iron chains, they couldn't help but feel somewhat flustered.
Several broadswords ruthlessly cut down on the weapons some people had raised horizontally to block the attacks …
Bang!
Under the huge impact, these people looked as if they had been struck by lightning. They knelt on one knee and coughed up blood on the chests. Incredibly disbelieving expressions appeared on their faces.
"Elite heavy-armored cavaliers!"
"This is bad!"
"Run!"
All sorts of cries of surprise rose and fell.
It was only at that moment that they noticed that not only did this group of heavy-armored cavaliers have astonishing defenses and accurate shots, they also had strict military discipline and great teamwork. Each of them also seemed to have astonishing Affinity and Arm Strength. While they were wearing heavy armor that weighed more than one hundred pounds, they could still deliver such terrifying broadswords.
Cries of surprise rose, and the heavy-armored cavaliers at the periphery changed their weapons.
The bronze-colored longspears shone with an intimidating metallic light. When they attacked at the same time, it was as if a forest of spears had suddenly shot out from the sides of the caravan. The twenty or so people who tried to charge through the caravan were all pierced on the spot, and blood gushed out.
When the remaining people faced the rain of spears, they gradually noticed that normal attacks were completely useless against the elite heavy-armored cavaliers. The effect of sword glares and saber glares on steel was negligible. Only a major move that used up a lot of qi could cause the heavy-armored cavaliers to waver a little, but no one could use it continuously.
As time passed, the martial artists who entered the heavy-armored cavaliers' attack range were killed by the heavy-armored cavaliers who changed their weapons frequently. Only a few people managed to escape.
During that period of time!
The martial artists' attacks on the heavy-armored cavaliers were like children scratching an itch for adults. They could not affect the caravan at all. In fact, during the entire process, the caravan never slowed down. Everything was done by the horses.
The heavy sounds of horse hooves were still as loud as thunder!
They rumbled on the government-made road with loud rumbles.
The heavy-armored cavaliers were like a steel beast that ran over the government-made road. Hundreds of martial artists' corpses were strewn behind them and by the sides of the government-made road.
But the hearts of the martial artists who followed behind them became even more solemn.
It was no wonder then why Kuo Zhong dared to send a group of cavaliers to protect the treasures that were being transported out of Eunuch Yang's Warehouse. He had actually brought them to the government-made road in a grand manner.
Rumble …
Rumble!
The sounds of horse hooves gradually faded into the distance, but they seemed to be even duller and more intense than before. It was as if they were stepping on their hearts and viciously crushing them!
But …
Vague figures of martial artists appeared in front of the government-made road.
More martial artists were attracted by the news of the treasures in Eunuch Yang's Warehouse, and they appeared in the direction where the marshal's heavy-armored cavaliers headed.
"Continue chasing after them!"
"That's right!"
"No matter how strong the elite heavy-armored cavaliers are, it's impossible for them to handle the offense of our numbers! We'll search for a chance and follow behind them. When the situation becomes clear, we'll attack! "
The people who chased after the cavaliers came to a decision after they thought about it. They immediately tailed the caravan from afar and followed after them.
But …
More than ten minutes passed.
The group of people practically stepped on the endless corpses on the government-made road to continue moving forward.
The cavaliers in front of them did not show any signs of chaos. They continued charging forward as usual.
As they watched, the hearts of the people behind them trembled and shrank! Their faces turned pale!
They saw that the port was getting closer, but the caravan still did not suffer from any obvious attacks. Instead, the number of people who attacked along the way decreased. Some people felt that the treasures in Eunuch Yang's Warehouse were leaving them.
"Look!"
"The port …"
"There are so many people over there!"
