An armed company of the kerne, carrying halberds and pikes and led by a piper, attack and burn a farmhouse and drive off the horses and cattle. |
With a great cry, a whole host of horsemen rode forth from the inner courtyard, brandishing swords, pikes and halberds alike. |
Dixira stopped abruptly, his nose inches from the wooden shafts of the pikes. |
In piling arms, after the firelocks are properly fixed, the pikes are generally placed across the muzzles. |
On all sides, ignoring him, barbarian mercenaries brandished their javelins, bows, pikes, two-edged swords. |
Vast quantities of clothing, gunpowder, pikes, halberds, swords, and muskets poured out of the workshops of the metropolis. |
