The woods on the south side of the battlefield are a continuation of the dense forests on the hills and mountains along the north of the river, and although the woods that come here are no longer as dense as the mountains, and they are not dense forests, the patchwork of woods still prevents the group from moving forward, and even if there are several paths crisscrossing it, it can only allow stragglers to pass. Such a forest can be used as an ambush, and it can be used for rest, but if you want to fight in a queue here, you can't.

Lan Ziyi and the 1,000 Iron Floating Warriors retreated into the woods before the torrent of thieves retreated and flooded them, and with them came many scattered and fleeing demon thieves. Even if you don't ride a horse and advance on foot, in the cramped and narrow environment in the woods, you have to watch the surroundings under your feet and move forward slowly, now Lan Ziyi and the others are riding high-headed horses that can compete with people's size into the woods, how uncomfortable it is, how uncomfortable it is, the neat queue that marched like a wall just now can only spread out under the obstruction of the woods, and move slowly one after another as a single cavalry.

Lan Ziyi lowered his head and rode cautiously on horseback, constantly using his hands to remove the branches blocking the way, and sometimes had to bend down to dodge.

Separated by trees, the peach chasing tiger walking not far away also walked with the same difficulty as Lan Ziyi, he looked at the soldiers scattered around him and said to Lan Ziyi:

"Young master, our cavalry doesn't walk around in this kind of forest, it's tiring to walk like this, we have to get out of here as soon as possible."

Lan Ziyi took a gap when he was walking with his head down, nodded at Tao Zhuhu, and said:

"Big brother is right, we have to get out of here quickly."

Then Lan Ziyi turned his head to look at the edge of the woods not far on the left, and at this time, the open space outside the forest was already crowded with retreating demon thieves, and those Lei Youde elites who were still trying to reorganize the defense line and organize the retreat were also scattered by the flow of people and drowned in the tide. The demon thieves are mixed together with various weapons of all ages, blocking each other's paths. Having lost the direction of their unanimous advance, the crowd fled in confusion in any direction within their sight, but as a result, no one could move forward, and even on the side of the woods that were open to the thieves, only a few thieves who were closer could barely escape.

Lan Ziyi looked at the unlucky people who were trampled on the ground, shook his head and sighed and said:

"It's just that it's impossible to run out of the woods at this time, we have to go east along the woods, bypassing the crowd of people trampling on the dead next to us to the back of our army to get out of the forest and regroup."

After the panicked demon thieves spiritually escaped into the woods, they inevitably had to encounter Lan Ziyi and them, and when everyone rushed into the forest together, of course, they didn't have the time and energy to care about who was walking next to them. Now that the cavalry soldiers of the Royal Forest Army have entered the forest, they no longer have to worry about hurrying as they did just now, and the demon thieves who walked to the side certainly couldn't be as lucky as just now.

Zhang Yanwu, who had just raised his knife and slashed a fleeing demon thief next to him, wiped the blade against the armor piece on his right shoulder, and shouted to Lan Ziyi who was not far away:

"Wei Hou, the current demon thief is like a flooded ant, running around in a panic, not to mention that he hasn't resisted, it's really easy to chop up!"

There was also a thief running by Lan Ziyi's side, this person was not wearing armor, and his clothes were shabby. The already shabby clothes were cut with many knives, and now they were turned into strips of cloth hanging on the thief's body, and the wounds cut out under the strips of cloth were still oozing blood, but the demon thief who fled for his life could only cover the opening on his other arm with his hand and run with great effort.

The demon thief crashed into Lan Ziyi's war horse when he ran past Lan Ziyi, and the iron horse armor knocked the demon thief to the other side like a wall, but the demon thief ran forward as if he didn't feel the impact. Lan Ziyi felt that this demon thief didn't even realize that what he bumped into was the war horse of the official army.

Looking at the back of the demon thief who disappeared into the woods in front of him, Lan Ziyi sighed and whispered:

"This was once my Taisho people!"

Zhang Yanwu watched Lan Ziyi staring ahead, thinking that he was in a daze, so he asked:

"Why didn't Wei Hou kill the thief and slash again? Why don't you take the opportunity to practice your skills? ”

Hearing this, Lan Ziyi shook his head and smiled:

"Compared to my sword skills, Zhang Senjun should take care of his shoulders first, if he accidentally hurts again, he will fall into the root of a lifetime."

Zhang Yanwu laughed loudly when he heard Lan Ziyi's ridicule, and then continued to slash and kill the demon thieves who fled around, and no longer cared about Lan Ziyi.

These cavalrymen of the Royal Forest Army, including Tao Zhuhu, were all immersed in killing the demon thieves who fled for their lives around them, and after killing several people, Tao Zhuhu heard the thicker and thicker panting sound from the war horse under his crotch, so he said to Lan Ziyi:

"Young master, our horse is tired, anyway, the trees in this forest are dense, and we can't walk as fast as we can on horseback, so let's get off the horse and lead the horse away."

Lan Ziyi nodded when he heard Tao Zhuhu's proposal, but Zhang Yanwu said unhappily after hearing this:

"Tao Dalang, as long as you and Wei Hou don't like the Mingguang armor you and Wei Hou wear, of course it's no problem to get off the horse and walk, the armor that Tie Futu and I are wearing is on the same as the iron sleeve, it is difficult to walk and bend over, it is naturally no problem to stand before the battle, but if you lead the horse away, it will be a big problem. And there are so many demon thieves running around, what if we get down and lead the horse away, what if we are attacked by demon thieves? ”

Tao Zhuhu turned his head to look at Zhang Yanwu and said:

"It is inconvenient for Zhang Senjun and the other brothers to bend down in iron armor, but it is not that they can't bend over, we are the captain who relies on the sword used to fight the thief, if the war horse is weak and can't run, the knife will be dull, how can we fight the thief later.

There are a lot of thieves who are fleeing for their lives, but these thieves are already frightened, if we don't stop him, they won't come and fight with us, we are a thousand people together. And didn't Zhang Senjun find out that the demon thief who would flee from around us was gone?

Zhang joined the army and worked hard with the other brothers, so let's get off the horse and walk. “

Lan Ziyi also agreed with Tao Chahu's approach, and he followed Tao Chahu and said:

"Work hard to join the army, let's take two steps."

Then Lan Ziyi gave a loud order and ordered the whole army to dismount.

Although Zhang Yanwu was not happy, he still obeyed Lan Ziyi's order, scolded and prepared to turn over and dismount. A knight of the Royal Forest Army at the edge of the team also stepped on the ground after receiving Lan Ziyi's order, and was about to turn over, but at this moment, the knight felt movement in front of him, turned around and looked forward, but saw a figure flashing behind the tree in front of him, and then a wooden stick flew in front of him, and after a "bang", the knight's eyes turned black and he fell off the horse.

Lan Ziyi had just gotten up and was about to dismount, when he heard a muffled sound from the right front, and in a blink of an eye, he saw a sergeant fall off his horse.

As soon as Lan Ziyi wanted to ask questions to figure out what was going on, more than a dozen ropes flew out of the forest on the right, and the sergeant walking on the edge was immediately caught by the ropes.

Now Lan Ziyi finally figured out what was going on, he saw that there was an armored demon thief standing on the other side of the rope, and the demon thief was pulling the rope hard to pull the warrior on the horse down, and after finding that it was difficult to pull the warrior wrapped in the iron down with the strength of one person, the demon thief next to him began to come over to help, and two or three demon thieves worked together to finally drag some warriors down.

Zhang Yanwu, who had just gotten off the horse, found that the momentum was not right, so he jumped off the horse at once, and even climbed between the horses and shouted at this Lan Ziyi:

"We're in an ambush!"

Lan Ziyi's buttocks, which had just been raised, sat down on the saddle again, pulled out his saber and grabbed it in his hand, and replied loudly:

"Of course I know we're in ambush!"

Lan Ziyi turned around on the horse and looked around, and after a hurried look, Lan Ziyi found that there were demon thieves attacking the official army in almost all directions except for the left side near the woods, and at first glance it really felt that the official army was surrounded by demon thieves.

Lan Ziyi was a little panicked, and he was about to order the sergeants to speed up the breakout, but his eyes fell on a soldier who was dragged under the horse by the rope of the demon thief. After the three demon thieves who pulled the rope succeeded, they pulled out their waist knives and stepped forward to kill the sergeant, but the sergeant was still struggling with iron armor, and the demon thief couldn't find the place where he landed for a while.

If the demon thieves were really lying in ambush here waiting to surround Lan Ziyi and them, why didn't anyone else come over to support them after pulling them off the horse, and they still had to ask the three demon thieves to step forward and take their lives?

Thinking of this, Lan Ziyi hurriedly rechecked the surrounding situation. The attack of the demon thief still looks sharp, but Lan Ziyi found that the attack launched by the demon thief from all directions is very thin, and all the ropes thrown again are the people who have freed their hands after the previous round of attacks, and there is no next wave of strength to join the attack, and the demon thieves who appeared are all Lei Youde elites wearing armor, and the demon thief recruits who have just escaped into the forest are still holding their heads and running away even if they see the offensive of their own people, and they do not join the attack together.

The attack of the demon thieves is obviously undermanned, and it is only the part of the veterans loyal to Lei Youde who are attacking, which is not so much an ambush as a counterattack, and the imminent rout is unlikely to give Lei Youde time to reassemble an objective force.

After thinking about it, Lan Ziyi was happy and ashamed, happy that the battle situation was clear, and there was no need to close his eyes and rush blindly, but what was ashamed was that Lan Ziyi was stunned by the demon thief just now, and almost commanded randomly.

Lan Ziyi hurriedly reined in his horse and shouted:

"Don't panic, soldiers! Open your eyes and take a look, the demon thieves are understaffed, and even our team of 1,000 people can't keep people on the look, as long as you don't panic, don't be afraid!

Listen to my orders, and those who are not caught by the thieves will dismount! Defend me in a circle! ”

Zhang Yanwu, who had already rolled off the horse, heard Lan Ziyi's order and asked:

"What are you letting you dismount for? How do you fight when you get off the horse? ”

Lan Ziyi scolded:

"If you can't use your hands and feet right away, it's easy to be caught by the thief, why don't you get off the horse? Aren't you the first to roll off the horse? ”
