I, the prince in distress, send money

Chapter 86: Big Mix-up (V)
"Damn it, why haven't the reinforcements arrived yet?"

Carrot cursed loudly, raised his hand and shot a crossbow arrow, which accurately hit the face of an enemy who was rushing towards him with a rapier.

When the swordsman took two steps back, Carrot also dodged and hid in the emptied guard room on the side of the doorway... He saw a bright red spot at the end of the passage.

There were no cigarettes at this time, so Carrot didn't think that the enemy was smoking.

If it's not a cigarette, then it can only be a fuse.

As soon as Carrot hid, gunshots were heard, and one of the three players who were still waving halberds in the doorway screamed.

"Damn it, I'm shot!"

When Carrot dodged out, he saw that one of the men lying on the ground was dying and unable to continue fighting. The remaining two were still holding halberds and resisting the enemies who rushed out of the secondary fort.

But this could not last long. The narrowness of the city gate limited the number of people involved in the battle, so that only two people could rush in at a time. However, as time went on, they would push up their muskets.

Just like now.

Carrot shot the last crossbow arrow, then he dropped his crossbow and rushed forward to pick up the halberd that the unlucky man who was shot dropped on the ground.

The crossbow arrow he shot hit the musketeer's neck, causing the latter to stagger back while holding his neck.

But at the same time, an enemy swordsman came up as a substitute. He rushed forward, raised the knight shield in his left hand to block the player's halberd, and stabbed the player's chest with his right hand armed sword.

This player was wearing a plate breastplate, but he forgot that this set of armor was stripped off the enemy's corpse and was not the same as the high manganese steel breastplate provided by Chris.

The breastplate, polished to be as smooth as a mirror, seemed indestructible, but in fact it was just iron armor made of wrought iron. When it was poked by the halberd, a hole was poked in it like an egg, and blood spurted out.

“Ah, fakes are harmful!”

These were the player's last words before his body was knocked aside by the enemy's sword and shield fighter.

Carrot rushed forward before the sword and shield man swung his sword to chop off the head of his last companion. He held the halberd handle with his left hand, swinging the halberd in his hand and making a small-scale slash.

The halberd was swung with force, passing over the sword and shield fighter's shield and hitting the sword and shield fighter's neck.

Carrot's skillful blow cut the swordsman's neck in half, and the connected flesh and skin hung on his neck.

The swordsman swayed twice on the spot, and his throat, exposed to the air, made a fart-like sound. He was obviously still trying to breathe, but the blood rushing out quickly took away his last chance of life.

Finally, the sword and shield player fell forward and hit the body of the player he stabbed to death, and the two piled up together.

Before Carrot could rejoice, he was shocked to see his last companion also fall backwards. When the latter lay on the pile of corpses, Carrot saw the gun barrel on the dead man's chest.

Two new sword and shield warriors crossed the bloody defense line formed by the seriously wounded and corpses that were not yet completely dead, and rushed towards Carrot with their shields on.

"Fuck, little knife of the alpaca, where the hell have you been?"

Carrot cursed, and he was the last one left to face the sudden attack of two sword and shield men. He seemed to be unable to hold on alone. He swept and stabbed the halberd in his hand left and right, but could not stop the enemy's advance. He had to retreat again and again.

It wasn't until Carrot's back hit something, preventing him from moving any further back, that he knew he was going to die... He couldn't move back anymore, because he had hit the wheel of the suspension bridge.

Carrot cursed loudly, raised his halberd high, and prepared to make a final stand.

At this moment, Carrot saw the two sword-and-shield warriors in front of him, and several enemies behind him, who were terrified and desperately retreating.

Carrot realized something and rushed forward without hesitation. The next second he was lying on the ground.

"Clap clap clap..."

A volley of flintlock fire rang out from the drawbridge. The panicked enemies fleeing towards the secondary fort collapsed with wails, causing the city gate to become much shorter. Carrot turned over and looked back. It was indeed Xiaodao. He had finally arrived with his men.

"What the hell, it's only a hundred meters, how come you guys took so long to run? It's almost three or four minutes!"

Xiaodao didn't say anything back, because as soon as he took a look at the tragic city gate, he knew that he was indeed in the wrong.

"Sorry, I got into an accident and am late."

"Stop talking nonsense, I'll leave the matter to you."

Carrot leaned against the wall, sat down on the ground, and gasped for breath.

He didn't feel tired when he was fighting just now, but now that he relaxed, all the physical energy consumed by the previous series of actions came out at this moment, causing Carrot to fall limply to the ground.

"Are you ok?"

Xiaodao asked with concern, and Carrot waved his hand.

"You can't die! Attack quickly! Take down the secondary fort before the enemy can fully react!"

Xiaodao waved his hand and asked the people behind him to rush into the city gate and start fighting with the guards inside. At the same time, he sighed.

"Brother, don't lie down yet, we may need your help."

"help?"

Carrot struggled to stand up, and at this time he also realized something was wrong. The number of players coming out from behind Xiaodao was too small.

If you count carefully, there are only twelve people including Xiaodao.

Also, Carrot was concentrating on the fierce battle just now, so he didn't pay attention to the movements on the other side of the suspension bridge. Now that he had some free time, he also heard gunshots and shouts coming from the diagonal building opposite the suspension bridge.

"what happened?"

"Don't ask me, I don't know either. Anyway, there is another group of people hiding on the other side. Now we are fighting. I led my men to win the front battle and was able to rush here in time.

The guys behind us are still fighting, it's hard to say when we can escape."

As soon as he finished speaking, the gunshots from the other side of the suspension bridge disappeared, which made Carrot subconsciously turn his head to look at Xiaodao, who happened to do the same thing, and the two looked at each other in surprise.

"what's going on?"

"Win? Or are they completely wiped out!?"

"This is fucked up!"

"Never mind that."

Xiaodao said firmly.

"I will lead my men to attack immediately. I will leave two men and a tiger squat cannon behind to help you defend the drawbridge."

"I'll try my best. Go ahead. No matter what, even if we can't take the entire Bolas Fortress, we must take the secondary fortress."

Carrot said.

"I've asked around and personally walked part of the way through Bolas Fortress. The secondary fortress is connected to the main castle only by a stone bridge. If we take the secondary fortress and occupy the other end of the stone bridge, we'll have a chance to gain a foothold here."
