Chapter 137: Besieged (Dragoon Battle)
"Ah~ It's so noisy! It's the same as a brute. ”
Zheng Ming thought about it mechanically and waved the Blood Goose Knife in his hand.
It was as black as ink, and a faint layer of black flame flowed from the surface, and the blood goose knife suddenly slit the throat of the Dornite who screamed again and again. The simulated animal's howl ceased, replaced by a leaky hissing and coughing sound as if choking on water.
"Don't the people of Dorn have decent rules? They should really look at my guardsmen. Sometimes silence can be much more oppressive than screaming. ”
The black flame on the blood goose knife in his hand swelled, and after cutting off another knight of Dorne who didn't know how to come to his death with a fire blade, Zheng Ming looked behind him with emotion.
However, he was met not by the Guards cavalry who pleased him, but by the Dornite lizard cavalry grinning at him.
At this point, he tirelessly harvested the lives of the enemy like a machine, and Zheng Ming, who rushed all the way, finally found that he had lost touch with the team.
Suddenly, the war horse under Zheng Ming let out a long neigh, and then fell to his knees. Zheng Ming on his back was also caught off guard and flew out.
Zheng Ming slashed away the spear that was stabbing at him, turned over and jumped up, and looked around vigilantly. Out of the corner of his eye, he happened to see the war horse lying on the ground, drenched in blood and foaming at the mouth.
Although it claims to have the blood of Dragon's blood in its veins, it is known as the Dragon's Blood Horse, but the tireless rush of several days has still dragged it down. It can be said that it is a matter of time before the mount dies of exhaustion.
"But I expected it, but it's a hell of a time."
The lizard cavalry of the Dorn, who had been left behind, kept chasing after them. They surrounded Zheng Ming with strange screams. In an instant, Zheng Ming was surrounded by the three layers of cavalry in the center, and he could no longer see the situation outside.
As far as the eye could see, all that was left was the dust that was constantly being kicked up and the figures of the Dornes who surrounded him.
"Is this finally the case?"
Zheng Ming, who was besieged, glanced around at the vicious and bloodthirsty hostile eyes around him. I couldn't help but sigh in a low voice.
Zheng Ming was extremely aware of his situation, and he also expected this. When he had successfully broken through, or even earlier, he had expected that there would be a time when he would be besieged.
The direction of his attack with his troops was the opposite of the Tulip family, and he went straight to the direction of the kingdom's border. This is also the direction of the Dornish invasion. This direction is undoubtedly behind those invading Dorn. And in the environment of being deeply trapped in the enemy, advance straight in the direction of the enemy's lair, and the result can be imagined. It is the layers of blockades and the encirclement that constantly converges from all directions.
It was precisely because of this consideration that Zheng Ming decided to divide the troops after leading his troops to break through the siege outside the town, regardless of the opposition and incomprehension of his subordinates.
His order at that time was simple, that is, the commanders scattered with their own troops, and they could take advantage of the city's occupation as many as they could, or they could use their mobility to constantly guerrilla. In short, on the premise of ensuring itself, it is to disrupt the enemy as much as possible. As for Zheng Ming himself, he marched straight with a team.
Originally, this battle plan was drawn up to distract the attention of the Dornites and make them exhausted from supporting everywhere, but unfortunately, Zheng Ming was targeted by the Dornists due to his outstanding combat power during the breakout.
As a result, the number of troops pursuing Zheng Ming continued to increase, and even faintly formed an encirclement network. The troops he sent out to distract themselves easily escaped the encirclement.
"Has it become a bait? Whew~ Although the original intention is not so great, but this is not bad. It's just that they are suffering. It is estimated that there have been heavy casualties and nine deaths. ”
Thinking of this, Zheng Ming's eyes were certain, and he clenched the blood goose knife in his hand and pounced on the lizard cavalry who was close.
……
At the same moment, it was several miles away from the battlefield where Zheng Ming was.
A group of cavalrymen in bright silver armor was chasing and fighting with lizard cavalry who were many times larger than them. They were the Guards cavalry who had been separated from Zheng Ming.
The lizard cavalry that fought with them was not as large as the group besieging Zheng Ming. At least people don't feel like they're surrounded by a sea of people. But for the Guards cavalry, who were already tired at this time, it was as fatal as the last straw that broke the camel's back.
"Woohoo."
The sound of arrows breaking through the air was constantly sounded, occasionally accompanied by a scream or two. Constantly people fall off their horses, or are beheaded by the Dornites who follow them, or kill the Dornists and are beheaded by the Dornists who follow them.
Flesh sprayed, wailing everywhere. Here, life shows the fragility it should have, and the process of its dissipation is so simple and boring.
"Zax, be careful!"
Known as Zax, he was a young man with a hedgehog head. He has a rather rare red hair. If Zheng Ming is here, he can see the translucent ID on the top of his head with "Floating Like a Dream" written on it, and use this to know the identity of the opposing player.
Zax heard the sound of a reminder in his ear, and without thinking about it, he turned sideways and made a dodge move. Strict training and decisiveness on weekdays saved his life. An almost silent attack, masked by the shouts around him, slashed across his cheek and pierced through the horse's skull.
Before he could see what the slimy thing in front of him was, he saw that the thing was quickly withdrawn at a speed not inferior to the previous one. At the same time, the warhorse beneath him neighed in pain.
After a feeling of weightlessness and a whirlwind of the sky, Zax was slammed to the ground. He caught a glimpse of where the attack was coming from, and it turned out that the bullet-like attack had come from the mouth of the lizard chasing after him. I saw that the lizard, which was much larger than its similar size, was slowly closing its wide open mouth. Through the gap between the mouths, you can vaguely see the tongue curled up in it.
"Damn! It's bad luck. Who said that entering the Guards Cavalry can get a lot of rewards. I'm going to tear his mouth when I go back! ”
Cursing the unfortunate situation over and over again, Zax stared at the lizard's mouth. Under his undivided gaze, it seemed that even the passage of time had slowed down a little. He could see the lizard's wriggling throat, its mouth opening again, and its taut tongue about to shoot out.
"It's dead."
Zax closed his eyes in despair. For him, who has not been in contact with the game for a long time, has a low level and weak strength, the battlefield in front of him is simply a nightmare.
"Ah, I didn't expect to work hard for a long time and do useless work. Now it's good, and I don't have any experience at all. ”
Just as he himself gave up struggling, waiting for the attack to penetrate him, he was suddenly pinned down by a huge force on his right shoulder. Then it soared into the air under the pull of this huge force.
Zax quickly opened his eyes and found that he was out of danger, now firmly on the back of the horse.
He looked up to see who had saved his life. only to find that due to the backlight, he couldn't see the other party's face clearly, only the bright red medium and long hair illuminated by the scorching sun quickly occupied his field of vision.
Zax, who guessed the identity of the other party just by his hair color, couldn't help but exclaim.
"Old~Old~Big~?"
Hearing the sound of Zax shaking with the frequency of the horse's hooves, the corners of Seon's mouth turned up, and he learned a lesson in a slightly teasing tone.
"I told you to close your eyes when you kiss a girl. I didn't teach you to close your eyes and wait for death when facing the enemy. Rookie, are you throwing our redhead in the face? ”
"Yes~! Hug ~ hug ~ apologize ~. Sai~Weng~Lao~Big~. ”
"Don't give up. We have to believe in Naruto-sama. As long as we hold on, he will come to our aid. ”
