Our family is in decline

Chapter 506 The Cunning Imperial People

Hamlet, in the village and town where Jean's motorcade is stationed.

I'm afraid no one expected that the barbarian marauders who had just escaped would dare to attack, but what was even more disgusting was that they came over and fired a round of guns before leaving. That appearance made it clear that they did not dare to sleep.

Because no one knows whether the next time will be harassment or an all-out attack.

Especially those ordinary people who survived the war just now, some of them collapsed as soon as the gunshots were fired.

However, the Guards' suppression was also rude, and they were easily made as docile as sheep with a few corpses.

Fortunately, all the remaining people evacuated into the village, and there were no more casualties due to the protection of the earth wall.

After a night of suffering, they successfully welcomed the morning sun.

This meant that they had survived another day, but they finally felt the pressure brought by the barbarians.

In comparison, the pressure on the barbarians is obviously much less, because under the cover of night, they are the party that takes the initiative, and only a small part of the force is used for harassment. The real subjects are all recharging their energy and waiting for the new wave. round of battle.

As long as they continue to be consumed, this elite force of the imperial noble lords will definitely fall into their hands.

Unfortunately, the situation was not as simple as they imagined.

There was a sudden vibration on the ground, and there was a slightly chaotic sound of horse hooves.

"No!" The barbarian sentry hurried back to report, "Those people abandoned the convoy's goods and ran away on horseback. Should we pursue them?"

As soon as these words came out, the barbarians immediately stopped caring so much and hurriedly went forward to check.

Hearing this, the temporary leader who was just elected last night, the snake bow archer, couldn't help but frown.

He wanted to say something, but obviously no one paid attention to him. Everyone had already ran past, and he could only keep up.

Climbing a nearby tree, I looked at the village surrounded by earthen walls from a distance. I could vaguely see some people guarding it, and the goods and carts were scattered and piled up in it. It seemed that they didn't even have time to sort it out before they escaped.

All the elite soldiers wearing armor ran away, leaving only the frightened city defenders and coachmen standing guard.

"It's so funny, do they want to use this kind of guy to defend?"

"The cowardly Imperials abandoned their comrades."

"You underestimate us so much, hurry up and show them some color!"

The archers also noticed this. Originally, they thought that those people would escort the convoy, so they came up with the plan to slowly consume them. But now they directly abandoned the convoy's goods and broke out with elite troops to run away. They couldn't catch up with their feet. Mount a horse, even if it's just a horse pulling a cart.

This situation now...

"We still have to be careful, what if this is a trap? What if they come back at this time?" The archer felt something was wrong and couldn't help but make a suggestion, "Send a few people over there and follow the sentry."

His words were also out of caution, but it was obvious that he, the temporary leader, did not have much prestige. When the powerful enemy disappeared, the barbarians immediately became scattered again.

Who would listen to him and give up immediate benefits to stand sentry? We are even discussing how to divide things.

"It's better to come back. How can we transport them back without grabbing some horses?"

"That's it! You can't kill those people, you have to use them to move the goods back."

"Cunning imperial people, do you think we can't take away the horses if they are ridden away?"

"quick……"

The barbarian marauders went straight to the village, and they could even be vaguely divided into several groups. The reason why they didn't collapse now was because the convoy had too much cargo, otherwise they would have started fighting.

The archer did not move, but still stood on the tree, looking far into the distance in the direction of the imperial men's escape on horseback, looking a little uneasy.

But there was already chaos below, and the ordinary people couldn't even raise the consciousness to resist. When they saw the barbarians, they ran away in a swarm without even thinking of relying on the earth wall to fight back.

You must know that they are not serfs. They still have weapons and equipment on them. Even if they resist a little, they will never fall so easily.

The root cause is that they themselves know that they have been abandoned, and the noble knight who led them is also dead. It can be said that their mentality has long since collapsed.

The barbarian marauders easily broke through the earthen wall and entered the village, but they did not kill anyone, and robbed ordinary people as slaves, otherwise they would not have been able to take away so many supplies.

"Do not kill me!"

"Be honest as fuck!"

"Hahaha! There is a woman here..."

These ordinary people can never stop their offensive. Are they really abandoned?

When the archer saw this, he couldn't help it. He was robbed before he could do anything.

When he joins, it means that all the barbarians join the ranks of "catching pigs".

"Money! It's all money!"

"That'smine!"

"Fuck you, this is mine!"

Slaves and cargo even became the cause of their fights, completely exposing the chaos and disorder of these barbarian raiders.

But just as they were enjoying the carnival, there was a vibration on the ground, and soon someone shouted.

"It's the sound of horse hooves! They are coming back!"

"Quick, quick, quick! Get out of here, don't be surrounded by them." The archer realized that something was wrong, immediately abandoned everything he had plundered, and called on the barbarians to quickly retreat into the wild jungle.

But if he can give it up, how many people will give it up?

After experiencing a slight daze, the first reaction of the remaining barbarians was not to quit, but to fight. It was impossible for them to abandon the things they had just snatched.

"Cowards! We will not run away from a fight."

Hearing this, the archer couldn't help but became furious, "Idiot! They can't take away the things here. We only have the advantage in the wilderness. Why are we guarding these things that can't be taken away now?"

"You didn't grab anything yourself, so you want to drag us into the water."

"That is, guard the wall, they can't break in."

"I was just worried that I didn't have a horse to pull the cart. I came just in time."

"Knight? He will never come back!"

The archer couldn't help but frown when he saw this. Seeing that there was nothing he could do, he slowly retreated behind the crowd, turned around and disappeared into the chaos.

These barbarians are experienced guys and are not the city defenders who fled before the fight. To be honest, they were indeed not afraid of the imperial people who came back. They immediately picked up their weapons and prepared to defend against the wall.

But most of them ignored one very important thing, that is why those bodies were randomly discarded. You must know that the people who died last night were all outside, why were they moved back?

They also forgot about a strange thing that happened during the night attack last night. Unfortunately, they were all dazzled by these benefits.

When they wanted to fight back, the corpses scattered in the village that had long been drained of blood and covered with injuries stood up again and launched desperate attacks on the living people around them.

"Damn it!"

"Find the wizard quickly!"

"I can't kill him!"

The barbarians were not afraid of the corpses and slashed them with weapons, but the problem was that these attacks could not kill them completely. Instead, the monsters ignored the wounds on their bodies and staggered towards the barbarian marauders with their stiff bodies.

A barbarian swung his sword to cut off the head of the monster in front of him. The body immediately fell down and became unresponsive, as if he had discovered something and shouted.

"Heads! Cut off their heads!"

With this reminder, the barbarian marauders aimed their attacks at the heads of the corpses, turning them into headless corpses again.

When these resurrected corpses can be killed again, the pressure on the barbarians is greatly reduced. This morning light is also a positive effect for them, otherwise the situation will be more troublesome in the dark night.

But the approaching sound of horse hooves was like a reminder, not giving them any more time.

"Guard the village gate!"

"The shooters all went up to the wall and shot."

"The wizard must be nearby, everyone, please pay attention."

The barbarians are all experienced in battles, so how could they not know that the only priority now is to guard the village gate from being stepped open by iron hoofs. Only in this way can they gain an advantage.

Immediately some barbarians gathered to seize the blockade.

But when the barbarians gathered there, one of the corpses that suddenly piled up quickly expanded and exploded without waiting for the barbarians to react.

"Boom!" The strangely swollen corpse exploded into pieces and splattered with flesh and blood, and the strange power contained within spread instantly and enveloped the approaching barbarians.

This sound drew everyone's attention, and they saw the bloody mist stir and several people rush out.

They let out shrill screams, dropped their weapons and rolled and struggled wildly on the ground, like prawns falling into hot water.

The scary thing is that their exposed skin began to develop red rashes, which then spread severely.

Not to mention the eyes, the entire face has begun to develop horrible pustules that continue to spread, not to mention the ulcers that some people can't help but scratch their bodies and faces.

The blood mixed with the ulcerated skin and flesh, it looked like the skin was being torn off, and just one look at it made people feel endless pressure.

The blessings of the gods on the barbarian raiders who came from large tribes worked, and they were able to resist some damage, but they only got a rash.

And the vicious curses received by the barbarians on the periphery are also lighter. They have not yet fester, but they are still torture enough.

These barbarians were confident in their own strength, but they completely forgot that there was an extraordinary person with unknown strength among the people of the Empire.

The best way to deal with extraordinary people is to kill them as soon as possible, because the more time you give them to prepare, the stronger they will become.

Use the trap prepared overnight to drag these barbarians directly into hell.

Before the barbarians could react from the tragic scene of the corpse explosion, the wooden village gate was directly knocked open. I am afraid that they discovered at this time that the thing was destroyed as early as last night and it was impossible to hold it.

If the barbarians could seize the earth wall and village gate just now, they might have an advantage, but now they are completely beasts trapped in a cage.

These barbarians couldn't help but gave up what they had grabbed and ran away, but at this time, Michel's personal guards came in.

"kill!"

On the one hand are the barbarians who are in trouble and psychologically weak, and on the other hand are the guards who have endured all night and took revenge with a furious attitude.

A situation so chaotic that it is difficult to describe...

A barbarian ran quickly and jumped over the wall, but before he could take a few steps, there was the sound of horse hooves behind him. When he turned around, he felt a chill on his neck, and then he saw the headless body that was still running.

No matter how fast their legs are, they can't outrun the cavalry who are hunting outside. They have missed their last chance.

On the outside, Jean was driving in Michelle's exclusive luxury carriage, and behind him was Michelle leisurely in the carriage.

Seeing a similar scene again, Jean's expression completely lost the unbearable expression before. Instead, he laughed and flattered the person behind him.

"My lord, you only used a little trick to catch them all. These barbarians are really stupid."

The harassment after last night's night attack aroused Michelle's rage, and she had to kill these guys.

At the same time, everyone realized that the attitude of these barbarians made it impossible to let them go, so they arranged this game.

The main thing here is the arrangement of the leader of the Guards. As for Michel, his role is probably to be incompetent and furious.

Similarly, the second time he invaded the village so easily was also due to the strong combat ability of the leader of the Guards. However, even if Jean knew about it, he could only compliment Michelle, a pervert.

"Jie Jie Jie!"

Michelle let out a weird laugh, and the suppressed emotions from last night were released at this moment. There was nothing better than this.

But at this moment, an arrow shot through the air and pierced the car board with a loud sound.

"Ah!" Gene looked at the arrow with its tail feathers still trembling, and couldn't help but exclaimed even though he knew it was not aimed at him.

He almost, almost hit himself with the arrow. The threat of death made his mind go blank.

Michelle in the carriage was also stunned for a moment, but soon he came to his senses and shouted manically.

"Kill him quickly!"

The two cavalrymen who stayed by his side could only obey the order and called the other cavalrymen to kill the attacker together.

The archer could have walked away, as he was already outside by the time the Guardsmen came running back.

But seeing those barbarians being surrounded and slaughtered, I still couldn't help but take action.

This arrow is not an armor-piercing arrow, but its strength is far beyond ordinary people. When he saw that it couldn't penetrate, he knew that the carriage was not made of simple materials. However, he was just trying it out at this distance. Rather than killing people, he wanted to kill those personal guards. The army forced them back.

Seeing the cavalry charging towards him, the archer didn't even mean to move.

After breaking away from the encirclement, distance is the archer's best weapon.

He calmly fired his bow, but the cavalry on the outside fell one after another. Almost all of them were hit by arrows in the face or throat, and their armor had no effect at all.

You have to know the distance of hundreds of yards, and it is a moving target, and there is no missed arrow.

Michel brought out twenty cavalry this time, and three of them were shot down directly.

It would have been heartbreaking for anyone else, but he didn't care about the lives of those cavalrymen. Instead, he noticed that the figure holding the big bow actually had a love for talents.

"That man is so strong! As long as he surrenders, I can spare his life."

When Jean heard this, he didn't know what to say for a moment. Would the barbarians be so obedient? Who do you think you are?

But it was hard to refute, so I had to shout out as Michelle said.

What he responded to was another arrow piercing the carriage.
