7. Pursuers
With the escape team of the villagers, Qi Wuce did not hurry up, he always controlled the team within a certain speed, so that the villagers who could not get on the horse tried to retain their physical strength as much as possible.
Worried about the arrival of his pursuers, Qi Wuce took the path in the forest, which was a little rough but could not reach the castle in a long way.
Paying attention to the surrounding situation along the way, considering that the vanguard might expel scouts, Qi Wuce did not dare to relax in the slightest, once there was any trouble, he had to find out in time.
"Everyone, stop!"
Because he was not leading an elite army that was forbidden by order, it took Qi Wuce a lot of effort to stop the team after the order was issued.
Turning over and dismounting, Qi Wuce looked along the road and saw that there were still marks of horses' hooves on it.
There is an ambush ahead! Qi Wuce soon realized this. He didn't tell everyone the news, after all, this was just a group of ordinary villagers who had just suffered misfortune, and if he said any bad news now, he was afraid that the team would be chaotic.
To the south was Hoyck, the bridgehead of the Britons against the Saxons, and from then on to the south were the mountains that could not be crossed from Scotland to England, which was free from the Saxons.
Obviously, it was impossible for Qi Wuce to take these people over the mountains to England, but if he wanted to go to Hoyk, it was inevitable to encounter the soldiers in ambush.
"What should I do......
Looking at this group of old, weak, sick and disabled, Qi Wuce even had the idea of leaving, but when he thought of the care that these villagers took care of him on weekdays, he couldn't be ruthless.
It seems that this is the only way to go!
Determined to do something, Qi Wuce planned to do a dangerous thing, called someone in the team who could still manage things, and told him his decision.
"Uncle Baker, listen well, now there is a fear of an ambush by the Saxons ahead, if you just lead the team to rush through the level so directly, I'm afraid few people will survive, so I have something for you to do."
The uncle who was called by Qi Wuce took a deep look at Qi Wuce, and finally sighed as if he had let go of some burden, and then patted his chest and said to Qi Wuce: "No problem, my life was saved by you Sotfeth, if there is anything, try to leave it to me." ”
"Well, then you will listen, I will ride over the main road first, and if I do not come back after fifteen minutes, then you will have the people of the village divide into two teams, the one with horses will take the main road, and the one without horses will take some detour to the west to Hoyk."
After speaking, Qi Wuce looked at Baker, looked at the other party's surprised face and said sorry in his heart.
After all, his strength is still too weak, and it is a blessing to be able to free a village from the capture of the army, and it is a fool's dream to save the villagers under the ambush of the enemy.
Now he can only choose to use his body as a bait to minimize casualties.
"Yes, Sotfest, you must take care, even if only one of us arrives in Hoyk, you will surely tell everyone about your heroic deeds." Uncle Baker said with red eyes.
Nodding, Qi Wuce did not refuse Baker's kindness. From today's Saxon invasion, he realized that this era was not a time of stability and peace, and that if he wanted to live a prosperous life, he needed fame and fortune to increase his power.
It's a pity that his memory is incomplete and he can't judge the direction of the history of this era, and if it weren't for this, he wouldn't have spent twelve years in a small mountain village collecting intelligence and training himself.
Quietly bidding farewell to the villagers, Qi Wuce rode his horse towards the road.
In the midst of the mad run, Qi Wuce stared at the strange places on the road, if the enemy wanted to ambush and intercept here, he would inevitably set a trap, as long as he could find some clues, it would not be too difficult to dodge on horseback.
As the war horses under his seat galloped, Qi Wuce soon found that a section of the road in front of him had traces of being buried.
Bent the bow and shoot four arrows into the woods on both sides of the road. At the same time, Qi Wuce's pull on the reins forced the horse to jump up, and leaped over the tripping rope on the ground that had not yet been fully pulled.
"Catch that scout!"
The sound of anger came from behind him, and Qi Wuce turned around and shot three arrows, and the three soldiers fell off their horses.
Then five more soldiers and a knight in heavy armor emerged from the woods. Seeing this scene, Qi Wuwu didn't dare to stop, and the magic power was transmitted into the body of the war horse, and it was only after the speed rose a few points again that he settled down.
"What about Lord Charles? Let that damn scout run away! ”
"It's okay, Derrick is in ambush ahead, we just need to follow this scout."
After finishing speaking, the knight named Charles chased after Qi Wuce on his horse, and the strange thing was that the speed of the knight with the famous heavy armor on his crotch was not slower than the horses of several cavalrymen behind him.
Turning his head and glancing at the knight who was chasing after him unhurriedly, Qi Wuce finally relieved his heart, the enemy who was blocking the villagers' way of survival had been led away by him, so that he could be regarded as having repaid the favor.
It's just that the current group of soldiers who are not in a hurry and follow him really give him a bit of a headache.
The horse snatched from the Commander had already begun to gasp, and he had been running and dashing with him and the Commander's corpse for nearly twenty minutes, and even with his magic bonus, the horse had reached its limit.
At this time, the speed of the chasing soldiers behind him, which Qi Wuce had been paying attention to, suddenly became a little faster.
Secretly said in his heart that something was wrong, knowing that there was an ambush ahead, Qi Wuce, pulled the reins with all his strength, and drove his horse to the woods next to him.
"Darek! Stop him! ”
With a roar from the knight behind him, a steel sword that shimmered with cold light spun like a scythe of death and flew from the forest to Qi Wuru's back.
However, how could Qi Wuce, who had been prepared for a long time, obediently tie his hands and arrest him.
An arrow was fired, and the arrow hit the steel sword in flight impartially.
"Boom!"
The arrows collided with the steel sword in one place, making a piercing sound of gold and iron.
The arrow was bounced to the ground by the huge force on the steel sword, but the steel sword did not have the unstoppable edge when it was fired.
It only took a short distance for the steel sword to fall to the ground and plunge into the dirt.
The knight of Charles and the knight named Derrick who emerged from the forest looked at each other, and the two of them continued to chase Qi Wuce with their men.
Because of the opportunity, Qi Wuce was able to throw the pursuers out of the shadows, but he knew in his heart that this was only a temporary matter, and the road in the forest was too muddy for the pursuers to quickly follow the footprints he left along the way.
Thinking of this, Qi Wuce jumped off his exhausted warhorse, casually removed an iconic item from the commander's corpse, and then tied the commander's corpse to the horse with the reins.
After counting the less than thirty arrows left in the quiver, Qi Wuce whipped the horse's buttocks.
Finding a bush and squatting in, Qi Wuce planned to find an opportunity to do some counterattacks appropriately.
