Chapter 523: Escape

"Knock Knock Knock ......"

The cavalrymen in iron masks knocked down the Alan infantry who came to stop them on the road, and they were in a hurry to surround Luga, thinking that they were just turtles in an urn and that it was only a matter of time before they were captured, so they did not care about the formation at all, and rushed forward.

The weak soldiers were vulnerable to the galloping horses, and they were quickly knocked to the ground, and Luga's cavalry soon burst through a gap in the road.

At this time, the Alans shouted loudly in the infantry group, ordering the other soldiers around them. I saw the Alan soldiers on both sides throwing the torches in their hands together, and countless torches whistled and landed on the galloping war horses in the middle, on the soldiers' backs, arms, and heads.

Many of the horses were frightened, and they gradually slowed down.

"Damn it!"

Hearing only an exclamation, Luga turned his head sharply, only to see that in the light of the fire, the frightened war horse kept jumping up and down and throwing the soldiers on his back from his horse. The two soldiers who rolled down on the ground were quickly surrounded by the Alans who rushed up, and one did not have time to escape, allowing the chasing Alans infantry to pierce their chests with spears from behind.

"Don't stop! Don't stop! Luga loudly reminded the soldiers who were fleeing together, and couldn't help but speed forward on his horse.

"Luga! Luga! Andrew shouted from behind, "Where the hell are we going?" ”

"Go back to New Carthage, take advantage of the moment, speed up and dump them!" Before there was time to explain more, Lugar flicked the reins again and galloped through the path on his horse.

The shouts of the Alans in the rear still came to my ears from time to time, although the sound was getting farther and farther away, and when I looked back, I saw a large number of torches chasing after me.

"There's no reason, how could they know we'd attack them!" Along the way, Luga couldn't help but think, he asked himself, and he also asked the people around him.

Andrew guessed, "Did someone snitch, or rather, someone was discovered by them in the middle of the operation?" ”

"My lord, there is a village in front of you, do you want to go around it?" The soldier in front reported to Luga behind him.

"They shouldn't know us yet, so we'll take advantage of the darkness to speed up from the flat road in the village, pass through, and as long as we get rid of the cavalry behind us, we'll be safe for the time being!"

With that in mind, everyone gathered around Lugar and quickened their pace through the village.

"Strange, why is it so quiet here?" Andrew looked around and asked Lugar.

"I don't know." Luga replied, "Is it too late at night that they are all asleep?" ”

As soon as Luga's words fell, a large number of peasants armed with pitchforks and sharpened wood rushed out of the surrounding fields and villages, and they roared angrily and took up their weapons and rushed at Luga.

"Fight back! Counterattack! ”

He had just calmed his nerves, but suddenly he tensed again, and Luga roared, motioning for the soldiers to raise their bows and arrows and shoot arrows at the soldiers who came from all directions.

Many of the peasants fell from the arrows, and although they cried out that they wanted to surround Luga, it must have been a great temptation to keep them from fearing the potential smile, but these dozen bows and arrows made them understand that they were nothing more than a group of peasants with inferior weapons, not soldiers.

Taking advantage of the peasants' hesitation, Luga quickened his speed and led the cavalry behind him to ride out of the seemingly impregnable encirclement. As Luga expected, these guys were hiding from Luga's horses.

"Into the woods, rest, rest!"

After leaving the village and running for long, Luga and his party came to a wooded place, which was their best place to hide.

They did not dare to make a fire, but could hide in the bushes in the dark and shiver. They could clearly see that there were constant horsemen passing through the road not far away, all looking for Luga and them.

The soldiers put the horses down and tied their mouths so that the dishonest horses could be silenced and not open their mouths to bark.

"Luga, something is wrong!" Andrew looked at the fire not far away and asked, "They don't seem to be acting quite right!" ”

"What do you mean?" Luga felt that Andrew was speaking badly, so he hurried to Andrew's side and looked in the direction he was pointing.

I saw the Alans with torches in their hands, and a cavalryman with five infantry, forming a large circle, encircling the woods, and encircling them little by little. Their movements make the wild birds that live here scream and fly in the sky overhead. Such a huge movement made all of them instantly alert, and they slowly stood up and watched the fire around them get closer and closer.

"Get on the horse! Launched! Luga commanded in a low voice, and the soldiers did not hesitate, and they hurriedly picked up the fallen horses and turned them over.

"This time they are all smart, don't be frightened by the movement made by the Alans, as long as they do it again, they will kick the horse's belly, and the war horse will know what to do!"

The shouts of the Alans could be heard from all directions, and Luga and his party clenched their rifles in their hands

"Andrew." Luga called out to Andrew, "Do you still know how to escape?" ”

"Just follow the direction we came in." Andrew replied, "The slope is a little gentler there, and as long as we can get the horses running, we can rush out." ”

"Okay, listen to you!" Luga said, raised his riding gun, and shouted, "Charge! ”

"Roar!" Twenty horsemen shouted together and rushed out of the bushes, so that the Alans, who were still looking down and looking carefully, raised their heads in fright, and saw a large group of black shadows coming towards them.

Luga sped up and raised his spear and pierced the chest of the cavalry in front of him, who was picked off his horse before he could come to his senses. The remaining infantry had no effect on the downhill cavalry, and could only be overwhelmed by the speeding black shadows.

The Alans were alarmed, and they shouted for each other to take care of each other, and hastened to close the circle, but Luga had already rushed out with his cavalry.

As soon as he appeared on the road, Luga looked up and saw that the woods in all directions were full of fire, and it turned out that this was not the place where the Alans were searching for them.

"Speed up, speed up!" Luga reminded the soldiers behind him, "If we can take advantage of them not looking, then we will be able to escape!" ”

Luga thought so, but he didn't know that at a three-way intersection dozens of kilometers away, a large number of cavalry lined up, armed with torches, bows and arrows and riding spears, waiting quietly in the direction from which Luga had fled.

At the front of them, a heavily armed man was looking at the parchment in his hand, and then he breathed a long sigh of relief, put the parchment away, and looked at the darkness in front of him, revealing a sneer.
