When Zhang Fan suddenly retreated at a speed beyond the imagination of ordinary people, taking advantage of the cover of the early morning night, bypassing many traps, and quickly retreating less than a mile or so, he was a dense army hundreds of zhang away, and he could still see the exposed trenches, breastwork walls, and even ballistas connected into at least three rows when the sky was not completely bright.

In the effective range of about 120 steps of the bow and crossbow, there are often 500 cylinders to start the ballista, if you calculate the scale within the generalized influence range of about 150 steps, as long as you move forward, you will inevitably have to face 6 or 700 cylinders and pneumatic ballistas. With a diameter of three miles and a circumference of ten miles, more than 13,000 crossbow formations were deployed in three consecutive rows, and there were as many as 100,000 elite soldiers just operating the ballistas. Behind these crossbow soldiers are professional horse archers that Zhang Fan has seen, and the approximate estimated scale has reached the level of about 100,000.

Moreover, Zhang Fan can perceive that the level of these people is largely higher than that of ordinary professional elite soldiers, and they can be regarded as the elite main force with a certain foundation.

And although Zhang Fan has not yet put the detection range at a longer distance, he can also think of it: I am afraid that there are more than 10,000 masters of the rivers and lakes of various levels ambushing in all directions. If Zhang Fan recovers his complete memory at this time, he may roughly estimate: even if it is a fully armed modern special forces light infantry, in the face of more than 200,000 Xue Rengui-level cold weapon projection soldiers, I am afraid that it will take the strength of the special operations brigade level to break through.

At this time, Zhang Fan also felt a bit of nervousness at the beginning, because it was obvious that if he faced such a battle a few years ago, he was afraid that it would be difficult to break through even at night. However, Zhang Fan's current mental power perception has not encountered an existential crisis, which has made Zhang Fan's mood feel a lot more relaxed

Although Zhang Fan has not tested his true ability to mass kill over the years, he has a certain degree of understanding of his ability to output exercises.

When Zhang Fan calmed down and looked for a possibility to break through the encirclement, he soon realized that for him, those ballista operators were the biggest threat. His own exercise output ability cannot be able to confront hundreds of semi-automatic air ballista crossbow carts head-on, especially under the premise of completely killing and destroying the opponent. But what if you just try to make the opponent lose combat effectiveness within a minute, and only kill the target in a proportion of about one-third? Then maybe in just a few seconds to ten seconds or so, you can suppress thousands of people in a short period of time? At this time, you can attack those masters of the rivers and lakes who have gathered with a lethal output, especially those who surpass your own speed, and use the suppression output to deal with the general elite cavalry, and with your own power, speed, and even perception ability that are not what they used to be, maybe there is still a chance to break through?

Thinking of this, Zhang Fan did not hesitate any longer, chose a different position from himself at this time and quietly moved for a while, and suddenly launched a spell when he was about a hundred steps away from the enemy formation, and in just a few seconds or so, thousands of cylinder gas cart crossbowmen on a distance of about a mile fell into chaos.

Of course, that's all, these sophisticated gas ballistae no longer need a large number of people to release after compressing the special gas, just a few people who are not in a panic can activate the entire crossbow array. When the 30,000 arrows on the six hundred ballistas hit like a storm, even if the other party had not judged Zhang Fan's clear location and did not take a rough aim, it also made Zhang Fan at this time at least be suppressed in a few seconds when the crossbows were most dense.

And at this moment, what Zhang Fan didn't expect was that the other party was obviously very thoughtful in terms of tactical planning, when Zhang Fan broke through in one direction, many ballistae in other directions also carried out curved shots and projectiles at different elevation angles in accordance with the instructions that had already been calibrated, although the arrow group two or three miles away had not flown over for a while, and Zhang Fan did not feel it directly in the sky, but he still felt that the great danger was coming, so that he had no time to adjust the direction of the breakthrough again at this time, and it was likely that as many as hundreds of thousands of salvos or even more arrow rain could completely cover the area within ten hectares that he could escapeTherefore, after the most dense crossbow soldiers in front were temporarily suppressed, Zhang Fan also began to fly and launched a forward assault.

Because in order to ensure the scope and even safety of suppression, under the condition that the output ability of his own exercises is limited, it is impossible to make everyone lose their combat effectiveness at this moment, and there are still hundreds of archers who continue to shoot more than two hundred sharp arrows in the dark direction, as well as a group of arrows shot by two-wheeled crossbows. This made Zhang Fan have to rely on at least two prepared iron shields behind his back and even in front of him, with a precise inclination to meet those arrows that he couldn't dodge at all during the maneuver, so he barely survived in this situation.

When Zhang Fan dodged left and right while attacking forward, he did not forget to continue to attack and output, and when more and more people continued to fall beside him, it also gave these professional elite soldiers the main level of minions a huge deterrent, although there were still people who fought back one after another, but the pressure on Zhang Fan was obviously not at the same level as before. At this moment, like the sound of howling wind and rain, a dense rain of arrows covered a large area from which he had just fled, which also made Zhang Fan at this moment dare not relax in the slightest. Because there are more and more masters in front of you and even in the left and right directions, the scale seems to have been prepared for a long time.

However, the biggest gain in the past few years on the rivers and lakes is that Zha Zhangfan at this time is no longer an amateur in terms of computing ability, and has accumulated a lot of knowledge about the killing effectiveness of lightning spells.

At this time, Zhang Fan of course understood that in the face of thousands of masters who were swarming from all directions, if he wanted to kill the opponent in a large area in a short period of time, of course he couldn't do it, so the optimal plan was to let a large number of people lose their combat effectiveness for a period of time even in a few breaths or so, especially the hundreds of them whose speed was obviously faster than himself, first of all, he would focus on attacking the most advanced part of his breakthrough direction.

In this way, while Zhang Fan broke through, he used all his strength to carry out a large-scale short-term suppression, and in less than two seconds, nearly three hundred masters who intercepted Zhang Fan fell slightly, as if his whole body suddenly cramped and could not control himself temporarily.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Zhang Fan finally passed the most dangerous time of breaking through the encirclement. Not long after Zhang Fan skimmed over the bodies of those people, and before he escaped ten zhang away, dozens of masters recovered and projected nearly a hundred hidden weapons like strong crossbow arrows towards Zhang Fan's square, but at this time, Zhang Fan was obviously much more comfortable without facing the siege of projection from all directions, and it was not as dangerous to get rid of these projection threats as before. Especially when the speed of his own escape has reduced the power of those hidden weapons a lot.

Sensing that in the case of his own protrusion from the encirclement, Zhang Fan's attack was obviously heavier and much heavier than before when he fought back, and in the blink of an eye, more than thirty masters whose martial arts were obviously much stronger than himself were silent in the electric light. In just a moment, there were nearly 200 third-rate and even second-rate masters of the rivers and lakes who were killed in seconds.

Under the guidance of the signal fireworks, Zhang Fan's position was also re-exposed at this moment, and the rumbling horses' hooves from the left and right and even the rear continued to concentrate one after another. Elite cavalry archers who have been trained since childhood and have a certain amount of talent are obviously effective at night and can effectively coordinate with a wide range of organizations.

However, for Zhang Fan at this time, these battles are obviously not as stressful as before. These professional riders who can be faster than themselves at this time after riding more than two miles are limited after all, and it is difficult to gather at the same time, which also gives Zhang Fan the opportunity to break through, about ten miles away from about four minutes or so in the escape time, there are more than 3,000 elite riders and even more than 300 masters who are obviously faster than Zhang Fan are killed one after another.

It's just that since then, the other side has also begun to form a tactic that can barely entangle with Zhang Fan: use a large number of cannon fodder cavalry to constantly test and assault to let Zhang Fan expose his position as continuously as possible, and more and more second-rate or even higher-level masters use strong bows to launch suppressive fire at a seemingly ineffective attack distance a mile away.

Zhang Fan also quickly came back to his senses, quickly adjusted the ability of a single strike and even the suppression range, and soon plunged the nearly 10,000 elite cavalry within a certain range from him into chaos, and Zhang Fan also took this opportunity to relaunch a surprise attack in an unpredictable position of the other party. When the opponent's master is included in the range of Zhang Fan within a radius of about one mile, it means that he will encounter a large risk of death and injury.

From the beginning of Zhang Fan's breakthrough, the breakthrough battle, which lasted for about half an hour, killed more than 1,500 masters of the rivers and lakes, and more than 30,000 elite cavalry lost, thus finally losing the target.

At the beginning, Zhang Fan seemed to have a lot of pressure to deal with the siege of this kind of battle, but as Zhang Fan became more and more experienced in attacking targets at different levels, the effectiveness of the battle and even the ability to adapt were much higher than at the beginning. Even at this time, Zhang Fan began to be convinced: If he returned to more than an hour ago and broke through again, the tactical response to the fire and even the breakthrough would obviously be better, and there was no need to be as dangerous as before. Not to mention that after this series of fierce battles, the opponent's strength and even morale have obviously been weakened to a greater or lesser extent.

It's just that the sky at this time is no longer as dark as in the early hours of the morning, and Zhang Fan has to choose to stay away from the most dangerous place in Zhongzhou City and completely hide himself before dawn.

After all these years of training, although Zhang Fan's ability to output his skills is still not very strong, his ability to conceal and dig pits and even choose temporary hidden locations is obviously much stronger than before.

When the sky was completely bright, many residents within the entire 200-mile range of Zhongzhou City who had not fled were mobilized by the rangers stationed here to stand up as quickly as possible, and launched a dragnet search and patrol as if searching for some martial arts felons. However, even so, it is not realistic to have all the people search every field area in a single day, and many places can only be carried out under supervision at a relatively large distance by chance. After all, Zhang Fan was not exposed for the time being when the sun was setting in this situation.

When the sky was getting dark, the heavy troops used for the search finally gradually retreated at this time, and the size of as many as 300,000 level rangers was also divided into more than 30,000 squads of ten horses in this situation, wandering within two hundred miles of Zhongzhou City. Obviously, for the forces gathered in the Xishan Jianghu Realm at this time, they were already convinced that it would be difficult to pose much threat to Zhang Fan at this moment through the method of siege and even siege by a large army. Being able to surreptitiously track from a certain distance away to ensure that the target is not lost is the first priority. As long as the position of the other party can be finally determined, it should be almost impossible to deal with the other party by means on the dark side.

Therefore, for most of the night, I will never see the fierce battle like the last night. With the experience of the last time, in order to attract opponents as much as possible, Zhang Fan once again took advantage of the night to quietly approach the past in the direction of Zhongzhou City. This time, although a lot of stragglers were found, it seems that more than a thousand soldiers or a hundred Jianghu people gathered together no longer seemed to be found. It seems that the other side has dispersed most of its forces for reconnaissance at this moment, rather than planning to face each other head-to-head in the true sense of the word.

Of course, Zhang Fan also relied on his unique perception ability to discover many dangerous existences at this time, but there were no more large-scale targets to gather, even near the city wall.

Zhang Fan finally chose to believe in his own feelings, and chose a place that he felt did not have too much sense of danger to break into the place he had broken into, and gradually approached the real goal.

What made Zhang Fan a little strange was that when he came to the agreed target again, he didn't seem to feel a sense of danger in the real sense? In that most important place, the other party just didn't know some traps that he was very familiar with, and even a dozen or so second-rate level masters, or even three decent masters in the real sense?

At this time, Zhang Fan speculated on many possibilities in a moment, and one of the possibilities he guessed was: Will there be a drug in the world that can temporarily lose people's martial arts, like mortals, and then suddenly recover at some point in time or under certain circumstances in the future?
