Chapter 148: The Cave
The archer battalion did not pursue, and even if they did, they could not catch up, they just watched each other go away, and even many people were already worried about the companions who stayed at the ferry, and those people could not stop the seven demons.
What remained on the south bank of the ferry was nothing more than a platoon of spearmen who did not even have an official number, but there were a little more than the ordinary platoon, fifty men, and only thirty-six combat soldiers after deducting the men and baggage soldiers.
These thirty-six people lined up in three columns, holding spears three meters six long in their hands, and looked at the seven people two hundred meters away with trepidation, as well as their earthly dragons, who would have thought that these seven people actually bypassed the bow battalion and ran here, and behind them was the Rhine pontoon, if they were allowed to rush over, there would only be ten people stationed on the other bank.
It stands to reason that there are thirty-six of them, and the spear in their hands is three meters six long, so they must be stronger than the seven people on the other side! But when they looked at the seven people standing on the opposite side, they were stunned and felt that they were facing seventy people, maybe seven hundred.
The leader on the opposite side lightly kicked the Earth Dragon with the spur behind his boot, and the Earth Dragon began to open its two hind legs and trot, and the other six people also followed closely, forming a standard sharp arrow formation and rushing towards them.
"Everyone, steady, the tail of the gun is pestle, and the gun is raised at an angle of forty-five degrees!" The platoon commander stood behind the three rows of gunmen, walking back and forth, and found instructions from his soldiers one after another.
"The first row squatted down, hold on to the barrel of the gun, on the opposite side is just a group of ordinary mercenary cavalry, you see, they don't even have formal armor, their dragoons also have no armor, don't be afraid, put them on your gun, this is a good way for you to show off your martial arts!" I have to say that the platoon commander's encouraging language definitely moved some of the recruits, and their blood began to boil, but the veterans standing beside them didn't see it that way, they felt cold.
Because the opponent saw the tip of the spear on his side, but there was no trace of fear, there was no iron armor but the unscrupulous charge, they only had seven people, not seventy, not seven hundred, how could they have this courage, they must have something to rely on, otherwise, how could it be!
The cavalry approached a hundred meters, their speed was almost at the maximum, and it only took a few breaths to crash into the woods, but they still did not show even the slightest fear, they did not have fear, then the fear would inevitably be transferred to the opponent, and the recruits who had just been mobilized, the courage in their hearts was exhausted under the opponent's unhesitating charge.
Their palms were sweating as they clutched their guns, and if it weren't for the veterans on either side, they would have abandoned their spears and ran across the river.
Yu Wuming's body almost stood on the galloping earthly dragon, he controlled the reins with his left hand, pointed the staff diagonally forward with his right hand, and shouted in his mouth: "Let you eat a few fireballs, and blow the wind by the way!" As soon as the words fell, the magic crystal at the front of the staff was lit up like a bright lamp, and a large pile of fireballs and wind blades whistled towards the gun forest opposite.
"Fire Meteor!" the platoon leader reminded his soldier in a loud voice, didn't he see the blue wind blade in the middle of the fireball?
The fireballs hit the armor of the spearmen, and the soldiers lowered their heads deeply, allowing the spikes on the top of their helmets to resist the collision of the fireballs, and these fireballs seemed to be nothing but a little burning sensation! The soldiers raised their faces, but the problem was that in this pile of magic, there were not only fireballs, but also wind blades, which was terrible, because they just raised their faces, and the wind blades directly confused their faces.
Although only two or three of the soldiers were killed by the wind blade, more than half of the soldiers were cut through their faces, and blood instantly smeared their faces. The veterans, ignoring the blood on their faces, clung to the barrels of their guns, knowing that this was the beginning of the real assault.
The recruits who were entrapped in the middle did not have such qualities, and many of them discarded their spears, covered their faces and fell to the ground howling, but unfortunately there was no one to take care of them, and the cavalry was only fifty meters away from them, and nodded slightly.
"Stand up for me! What is a slight injury? Go back to your position immediately, we must ......" The platoon commander's words did not come out for a long time, and one of the soldiers in the last platoon looked back and saw that the platoon commander had fallen to the ground, and in his eye socket, a small crossbow arrow was inserted.
I don't know which one is troublesome, and suddenly shouted: "The platoon commander is dead!"
The little courage that had been given was completely negative with this sound, and the thought in everyone's hearts was turning, should I run? The answer was yes! So, someone had already thrown away their spears and turned to run to the other side.
But at this time, their backs were completely exposed to the cavalry chasing behind them, one of them was running slowly, and suddenly found that his speed was faster, so fast that he was like riding on a horse, he didn't expect that one day he could run as fast as a horse, and then, he bumped into the person who ran in front of him, but the man did not fall, he himself did not fall, and the two of them ran forward like this, until the third was the same as them, and he finally felt bad.
At this moment, he heard the sound of wood tearing behind him, and the three of them quickly fell to the ground, and he struggled to get up, but found that he seemed to be glued to the two guys in front of him.
Only then did there be a huge pain in his chest, blood flowed from the corners of his mouth, and the strength of his whole body was quickly fleeing from his body for some reason, he raised his head with difficulty, and the last picture he saw, a dragon knight had just run past him, and a broken riding spear was being discarded by the knight, and the picture came to an abrupt end.
Yu Wuming and the other seven easily broke through the small defense line of more than thirty people, twenty-one lives disappeared in their charging route, and the remaining few people looked at their backs blankly, these people ...... Are these still people?
The seven-headed earth dragon stepped on the pontoon bridge, and the movement here had already alarmed the ten people on the opposite side, and they watched the other party's assault in fear, and saw the demon stepping on the pontoon bridge and killing them, and I don't know who shouted: "Run for your life!"
Yu Wuming stood at the head of the bridge, looking blankly at the ten defenders who were about to disappear on the horizon, Vivian and they watched those soldiers run away with the same gaze, he looked back at the opposite bank, there were still a dozen or so people over there, those who saw someone looking back at them, finally no one shouted, but their movements were unusually synchronized with the defenders on the other side, in just a few minutes, the other bank was empty.
A few fireballs fell on the bridge, and the wooden pontoon bridge burst into flames, and the ropes that bound the bridge slabs could no longer resist the pull of the immovable water between the flames, and the boats that built the pontoon broke free from the ropes and drifted westward, and the fireboats were swept away by the current for miles away, and finally scattered into pieces of driftwood on fire.
Bell walked a few hundred meters only to find that Yu Wusheng had not gone with them, and he looked back to find that Yu Wuming had destroyed the pontoon.
Bell turned his head and returned to the ferry, looked at the fireboat that was still floating on the water, looked at Yu Wusheng and asked, "What a good bridge, why did you destroy it?"
Yu Wuming, who was distracted, was awakened by Bell's question, and he also looked at Bell and said, "Yes, what a good bridge, I really don't want to destroy it, but if we want to reach Yalong Valley smoothly, then we must destroy it." If you look to the west, one hundred and twenty kilometers away, there is a pontoon bridge where two horses can be used in parallel, and to the east, at sixty-seven kilometers there is the Mallos Bend, where there is also a pontoon bridge that can pass two horses, and only this one can pass four horses at the same time, you understand now!"
Bell, who has rich experience in reconnaissance, immediately knew why he wanted to destroy the bridge, he sighed, stopped talking, Yu Wuming looked at Bell, sighed the same, controlled his Earth Walking Dragon, and re-embarked on the road back to the north.
Yu Wusheng ran five or six kilometers away, suddenly stopped, he glanced at the sky, and immediately went to the crowd and said, "Today, we can have a good rest! Ingram and Yinfeng found a cave in that forest, which is so remote that ordinary people can't find it!"
Hans looked north, the road stretched at his feet, and he saw no danger, and he looked again into the depths of the forest, which was still mysterious and unsettling, even though it was close to noon.
"Let's go a little further! Hans said to Yu Wuming.
"No, we've had a lot of consumption in the past three days, both physically and mentally, and the reason why we're not tired is that we're not tired, but because we've won a few games in a row, we're still excited, and when the excitement passes, we'll be very tired, so it's time to rest. "Everyone is in relative safety at this time, and Yu Wuming doesn't care about saying a few more words to explain.
After that, no one asked to continue on the road, they turned to the deep forest, where they walked for an hour to reach the cave that Ingram and Minstrel had discovered, this was a small hill in the forest, fortunately the earth dragon lived in the jungle, so the distance they went deep was not short at all, even if the best scouts sent by the Angsa Empire could hardly find them.
No one thought that at the entrance of the cave, everyone actually found a husky that they hadn't seen for a long time, and it seemed that this was also the credit of Ingram and Yinfeng, and everyone would inevitably have a fun with the husky.
It's just that the after-effects of the repeated battles soon came, and a wave of exhaustion hit everyone's bodies, and they finally remembered that they had not come here to play with the huskies, they had come to rest.
Yu Wusheng, Vivian and Bell were the first to walk into the cave covered by vines, it was not as big as expected, but it was very dry, seven people could barely live in it, Yu Wuming was a little disappointed, but now behind enemy lines, naturally he couldn't ask so much.
Yu Wuming looked around, and was about to exit the cave to beckon everyone in, but he didn't expect the husky to bite his trouser leg and pull it towards a small hole on the left side of the cave.
The hole Yu Wuming also noticed just now, but the hole is a little small, can only accommodate a person bending in and out, he casually summoned a strong flashlight, shone at the small hole, and found nothing, but the husky let him in.
In the end, the husky couldn't impress his stupid master, so he could only run into it by himself, Yu Wuming just wanted to call the husky out, but he didn't expect the husky to run to the bottom of the hole, turned to the right, and disappeared, Yu Wusheng hurriedly shared the husky's sight, it didn't matter what he saw, what appeared in his field of vision was another big cave.
"Quick, Vivien, Bell, let's go this way, there's a big hole in the back, there's a lot of space there!" Yu Wuming said excitedly.
