Chapter 46 Chapter Forty-Four

How the hermit escaped from his guards; how the Piccolo outpost failed When the monk saw the enemy soldiers running away in a panic, he guessed that they must have chased Gao Kangda and his men down. He felt very unhappy that he could not help them for a while.Later, seeing the expressions of the two archers beside him, looking straight at the valley where the enemy soldiers ran, I knew that they would like to go with the team, so as to seize the opportunity to grab something.The monk deduced for himself, and said to himself: "These people are so ignorant of war that no one made me swear not to run away, nor took my sword away."

With a quick jerk, he drew his sword, and slashed straight at the archer on the right, severing his larynx, neck vessels, esophagus, and two tonsils; between the third vertebra and the spinal cord; and the archer fell dead at once.The monk reined in his horse to the left and rushed straight at the other archer. Seeing that his companion was dead and the monk had an advantage over him, the fellow couldn't help shouting: "Oh, Mr. Dean, I surrender! Mr. Dean, good friend, Mr. Dean!" The monk yelled as loudly as he did: "Mr. Buttocks, my friend, Mr. Buttocks, let me strike you in the ass."

Said the archer, "Ah, sir, my dear, sir, may God make you master!" The monk said: "Just because of my clothes, I will make you a cardinal right here. Do you want to blackmail people in the church? Now I will give you a red hat from me." The archer shouted: "Mr. Dean, Mr. Dean, the future Superior, Cardinal, sir, sir, ah! ah! ah! Do not do it, sir, I am a man, dear sir, to you surrender!" "I'll take you to the devil's den," said the monk. A sword struck his head, splitting his head from the temple, cutting off the two skull guards, the skull at the arrow-shaped seam, and a large part of the frontal bone.As a result, both meninges were cut open, and the skylights were deeply opened in the two posterior ventricles.The head is connected to the skin of the back meninges, hanging on the shoulders, black on the inside and red on the inside, it really looks like a doctor's hat.The archer also fell to the ground and died immediately.

After killing the archer, the monk spurred his mount with spurs, and went straight to the path taken by the enemy soldiers.At this time, the enemy had encountered Gao Kangda and his subordinates on the main road. Gao Kangda waved the big tree, and had a good fight with Jimnast, Bonokrate, Edmund and others, killing the enemy many times. , there were some remnants left, all of them lost their souls and hurriedly backed away, as if they saw the shadow of death in their eyes. The enemy panicked--like a donkey stung by a big fly or a poisonous fly on the rear, he ran around without thinking, threw his load to the ground, bit and snapped the bridle, Not even willing to take a breather, no one knows what is agitating it, because it can't see anything approaching it-running around without knowing the reason to run away, the situation is exactly the same as the donkey mentioned above.This is the reason why an inescapable terror of the mind pursues them everywhere.

① The archer calls the monk "Mr. Dean". The original text is le prior, which is the same pronunciation as le prior "before the head". The monk knows that he is not calling "the front of the head" Mr., but deliberately called him Mr. "Behind the Butt" instead. Seeing that their only wish was to escape quickly, the monk dismounted from his horse, climbed up to a large rock by the side of the road, swung his long sword with all his strength, aimed at the deserters and killed them one by one without mercy.After a while of hacking, even the sword was cut in two.The monk thought in his heart that he had killed almost all of them, and the rest should be let them escape to deliver the letter.

The monk went down the rock, picked up a hatchet from the pile of dead people lying on the ground, and returned to the rock, except for the spears, swords, spears, muskets, etc. of the deserters, and let them fall among the dead bodies. He stumbled and fled for his life.The escort of the pilgrims also came, and the monk dismounted them, and distributed the horses to the pilgrims, and told them to stay with him by the fence, and Duke Dillon came, and the monk took him also prisoner.
