I suppose it is reasonable to suggest that these guards want to live, but really, this is war. They might not be expecting Connor to have gotten into their most vulnerable place, but he's making a beeline straight towards their general.

It sounds a little spineless of them to back away, when they could have at least tried a few jabs or swipes to delay him for their leader to ride away. After all, for them it could have been a last resort, if Connor would have turned around and killed them, and firing their muskets when they could have been more efficient with their bayonet just seems beyond me.

Also, I know the kill animation I took a problem with is because of momentum, but that doesn't stop it from looking horrible.
