NOVEL NEXT Chapter 66 - Horses and Laborers!
Swoosh swoosh swoosh~
Just as the cries of the bandits sounded, a second wave of arrow rain fell.
Instantly, another chorus of cries of agony filled the air.
Two rounds of arrow showers directly shot down over a hundred bandits from their horses.
Some horses were also injured and fell directly to the ground.
“Ah~”
Among the bandits, cries of agony, the neighing of horses, and the sound of horseshoes all mixed into chaos.
“How can their arrows reach so far!”
The bandit leader, who reacted quickly, was not injured by the two waves of arrow rain because he was holding a shield.
But the range of the enemy’s bows and arrows exceeded their expectations!
After the two waves of arrow showers, these bandits finally charged to within less than thirty meters of the minotaurs!
However, because the range of the opposing archers far exceeded their expectations, many bandits who had originally prepared to attack with bows were shot down. Those who remained alive threw away their bows and grabbed shields in order to save their lives. They no longer had time to launch an offensive with their bows and arrows.
“Charge, if we charge past them, we’ll win!” The bandit leader shouted.
The strength of cavalry lies in the impact after the warhorses run at high speed.
Although these bandits were not official cavalry, the impact of riding warhorses was still quite terrifying.
So, in the eyes of the bandit leader, as long as they charged past, they would definitely turn the tide!
Swoosh swoosh~
However, at this moment, a row of short crossbow arrows came rushing at a terrifying speed.
Instantly, the bandits who were originally defending themselves with shields against arrows from the sky suffered!
Those charging at the forefront, dozens of them were directly hit in the abdomen by the crossbow arrows, screaming as they fell to the ground.
The luck of the bandit leader was once again relatively good, as a short crossbow arrow grazed past his waist, leaving a blood groove.
Intense pain surged, but the bandit leader gritted his teeth and endured it without making a sound.
He bit his teeth, holding the shield in his left hand, and his right hand had already grabbed the long blade of his waist knife.
Closer, closer!
He could already see the foremost warriors.
However, at this distance, he finally saw just how tall the warriors ahead were!
Each one was over two meters tall, taller than the horse he was riding, and these warriors looked exceptionally sturdy.
Just now, from a distance, they could tell that these were demi-humans, but from a distance, the height of these demi-humans didn’t seem so prominent.
However, up close, each of them was like a mountain.
Moreover, these demi-humans wore exquisite helmets on their heads!
“These are….Minotaurs!”
A sense of danger flashed in the bandit leader’s mind.
“So what if you’re minotaurs? Still can’t stop us!”
The opponents were right in front of them, and the bandit leader couldn’t stop now, so he could only grit his teeth and charge forward.
Suddenly…
“Neigh~~~”
With the neigh of the warhorse beneath him, the bandit leader only felt the horse suddenly collapse beneath him.
And then…
He completely lost control and was thrown out by the enormous inertia.
“Dang!”
A Minotaur wielding a shield delivered a heavy blow, sending the bandit leader flying once again!
【What’s happening?】
【666, tripwires! The anchor’s skills are truly superior!】
【Haha, the anchor is awesome!】
【Amazing!】
【In fact, why bother with trip wires? Dealing with cavalry charging at high speed is very simple. A dagger can solve the problem. When the warhorse charges at you, just kneel down, slip between the horse’s legs, and then use the dagger to slash across the horse’s belly. It’s easy to take down a horse, and what’s more, the guy on top?】
【The person above is truly wise. I think there’s an even simpler method. Use the Sevenfold Fist to strike seven punches in one second, and one punch can send the warhorse flying.】
【…】
In the livestream , when they saw the bandits charging through the arrow rain being tripped by tripwires, the atmosphere instantly became lively.
【Look, the Minotaur brothers are going to show their power!】
【We’ve been looking forward to this!】
【Always a pleasure to watch!】
【Enjoying the show!】
In the eyes of the viewers in the live chat, they saw that as soon as those bandits were tripped by a large number of trip wires, 50 minotaurs rushed out wielding double-sided axes.
And on the opposite side, when the first wave of warhorses was tripped, the warhorses behind couldn’t stop and crashed into them directly.
The bandits on those horses were thrown off due to inertia, falling into the heap of horses, and many were trampled to death.
The bandits further behind desperately tried to stop their horses but couldn’t.
Hundreds of surviving bandits instantly turned into chaos.
Immediately after, the minotaurs charged in.
Once again, the height advantage of these minotaurs became a huge asset.
If it were human soldiers fighting against people on horseback, they would first face the impact force of the warhorse. Without even time to evade, let alone to wield a knife against taller enemies.
But minotaurs were different. Their height made them even taller than some large warhorses, not to mention the shorter ones.
Those bandits riding on horses were only a head or two taller than the minotaurs.
For the minotaurs, this angle of attack was even better.
The Minotaur Tieling charged at the forefront this time.
He charged at a bandit who was desperately trying to calm his horse, and without mercy, swung its double-sided axe.
Immediately, the bandit was seen being split in half at the waist!
【Ugh, so bloody!】
【Exciting!】
【…】
Behind Tieling, other minotaurs also rushed forward.
A large number of sword and shield soldiers also charged forward behind the minotaurs.
On the other side, when the two groups of encircling bandits saw the frontal assault bandits in chaos, they became somewhat panicked.
“What are you afraid of? Charge, they don’t have trip wires on this side!”
A bandit shouted.
Swoosh swoosh~
Then, two hundred Fox archers aimed their bows and arrows at them.
“Charge, kill those archers!”
The more than one hundred bandits on the other wing were also fierce. Seeing the fox archers attacking the right wing bandits, each of them accelerated and charged towards the archers.
However, suddenly, another group of soldiers appeared in front of the fox archers, sharp long spears like a forest, with the spearheads gleaming with cold light, aimed at them.
The rear end of these long spears was half-buried in the ground, and the spearheads were slanted towards the sky, so as to transmit the impact force from the charging horses to the ground.
These bandits were too late to stop and could only charge forward head-on.
“Neigh~”
Another round of people and horses tumbling down!
More than one hundred bandits experienced the sharpness of the long spears from another world firsthand!
Immediately after, a large number of sword and shield soldiers charged forward, killing the bandits who were in chaos one by one!
By the time Richard noticed, the outcome of this battle was already without suspense!
Mia and Dorothy didn’t need to make a move.
“Surrender, we surrender!”
Seeing that they were completely outnumbered, the remaining bandits laid down their weapons one after another.
【Haha, now we have horses, and laborers too!】
【…】
In the livestream, when the viewers saw Richard’s side winning overwhelmingly, they couldn’t help but feel elated.
After enjoying the victory, some viewers activated the tipping mode again.
Now Richard was receiving more and more tips every day!
