Chapter 144 melee
Ah! Hoh! Hoh! Ah!
On the battlefield, people die every minute.
The blonde hair on Eugen's head was dyed red by blood, and the blood flowed along the hair, gathering at the ends of the hair and dripping on the ground.
He held the steel sword in his right hand, supported it on the ground with his left hand, and stabbed it with all his strength upwards.
Puchi, a robber who was holding up a scimitar to be cut off was pierced, and the blood was mixed with the sour water from the stomach bag, gushing out, flowing along the sword body to Eugen's hand.
The robber suddenly seemed to have been pulled out of all his strength, and his legs fell to his knees on the ground. The raised scimitar was no longer able to slash it down. It fell on the ground with a jingle and smashed a shallow pit.
A strong smell of smoke came from the air, mixed with the stinking smell of the corpse. Eugen took a strong breath, but his expression was not uncomfortable. During this period, he had long been used to this smell.
The small bush as part of the defense line was now covered by flames and smoke. At the beginning of the most tragic battle, the robbers discovered the woods and wanted to attack the inside of the team's front through the woods.
However, they did not succeed. Before Eugen could come in, he angrily lit a fire among the bushes. It was already autumn, and there were many dead branches and leaves in the bushes. In addition, Eugen had ordered some gunpowder to pour on the edge of the bushes to help burn, so the fire rose in an instant.
The weather today is a bit gloomy, with strong winds whistling from the sky towards the earth. The sky is covered with clouds and there is no sunshine at all. Only a few sunlight passes through the gaps between the dark clouds, forming a column of light toward the distant earth.
The burning bushes are like a huge torch standing on the ground. The flames are particularly obvious on the ground, and the surrounding terrain is flat. Even if they are ten kilometers away, you can clearly see the flames.
The flames tumbling, blowing a stream of hot air on Eugen's face. Eugen was excited and half bent down and walked forward two steps.
There was half a broken vegetable truck here. Eugen leaned against the wheel of the truck, supporting his body and glaring ahead.
Two robbers were staring at Eugen. They were covered in blood and could not tell whether they were injured. However, by looking at their pace, they could know that their situation was much better than Eugen.
An imperial infantry arrived behind him, and there were many broken parts on the bright silver armor. Through the gap, you could even vaguely see a blood mark as thick as a finger on the body wrapped in the armor, and blood kept pouring out of the crack.
But he could still take the sword in his hand, so he took the step forward and bravely faced one of the robbers, fighting each other with swords and swords.
The other robber ignored his companions, but smiled at Eugen with a hideous smile and came over to meet him with a knife.
Ougen took two deep breaths, held his breath and looked at the scimitar in the robber's hand.
"Wow!" The robber shouted, stepped forward and drew an arc from the upper right corner of the scimitar in his hand, and launched the attack first.
Eugen shrank and avoided the sword, and stabbed forward with a long sword in his hand. Unexpectedly, the robber's pace was extremely agile, and he retreated back two steps in time to avoid Eugen's sting.
Eugen did not pursue, held the hilt of the sword in both hands, raised it upwards and placed it on top of his head. The swords collided with each other and made a crisp sound.
It turned out that when the robber retreated, he did not forget to slash the scimitar under the scimitar to attack Eugen.
The sword was blocked by Eugen. The robber's eyes were a little solemn. He was not in a hurry to attack, but he carefully turned around Eugen, trying to find an opportunity to attack.
Unfortunately, he had no chance. An escort light cavalry rode his horse and quickly passed by him. He swung the sword in his hand and slashed it. The robber who attacked Eugen died under the sword.
Without having time to breathe a sigh of relief, Eugen hurriedly dodged to the other side, followed by a robber cavalry rushing out from behind, slashed over Eugen's head with a knife, cut off two strands of hair, and continued to chase the escort cavalry forward.
This is the case everywhere on the battlefield. The defense line formed by the big chariots is not solid. As the robbers rush desperately, the defense line is broken soon. The robbers pour into the front, and the scene becomes a complete melee.
As soon as the defense line was broken, the black beard rushed into it with the first horse. Corion rode his horse and led the cavalry behind him to meet him. Both sides stood directly together.
Blackbeard seemed to have identified the enemy who killed his friend, and no one else cared about it, but just attacked Corion desperately.
In order to avoid Eugen being threatened by Blackbeard, Corion simply rode his horse out of the crowd and went around the battlefield. Blackbeard also followed, and five or six imperial cavalry and more than ten robber cavalrymen were also gone with him.
When the battle began, many robbers gave up their horses and climbed onto the cart to attack the defense line.
The imperial infantry wrapped in an iron lump came forward bravely and fought with the robbers.
In the end, the defense line was broken, and Eugen also brought his sword to participate in the battle. Even Butler West also took a long sword to join the battle. What surprised Eugen was that Butler West actually had good sword skills and did not feel panic during the battle.
However, when he thought that West had followed Prince Eugen in his early years to fight, he felt relieved.
After resting for a while, Eugen once again raised his sword and walked forward to help the imperial infantry who had helped him block a robber. With the cooperation of the two, Eugen soon seized the opportunity and cut off the robber's arm with one sword. The imperial infantry fell down and killed him completely.
After the enemy was solved, the surrounding area became calm for the time being. The imperial infantry remained silent and continued to walk forward to help other comrades.
Eugen felt his legs weak, so he retreated to the side of the car and leaned on the shaft.
He looked around and saw people fighting everywhere. Relatively speaking, their side had more advantages. Well-equipped infantry can easily defeat robbers one-on-one, and one-on-two can maintain a balance of power without falling behind.
Although the total number of robbers is larger, the number gap between the two sides is not that big, so the situation is more inclined to them.
During the battle, the battlefield was gradually widened, and there were people fighting on the low mountains, behind the bushes, and near those big chariots. To sum up, the infantry on the empire was still about fifty, but the number of robbers was only 100, and the momentum was obviously very low.
Eugen showed some smile on his face, and Shengli turned to them after all. But to his surprise, he did not see the figure of Butler West in his sight, and he didn't know what the situation of Butler West was now.
He had a vague premonition, but the current situation could not allow him to think too much. He breathed a sigh of relief again, and Eugen leaned against the right hand side. There were two imperial soldiers and three robbers five meters away fighting, and he wanted to go over and help them.
