The 238th Earth Scepter - Escape (I)
Chen Kai turned around and glanced at the people around him, and found that most of the players had a hint of tiredness on their faces. To read the latest chapters, please lock in to Aishang Novel Network biquge.info{Aishang Novel Network biquge.info} After all, these players have just experienced a fiasco, and at the moment when they were extremely tired from the sun and drowsy, they were killed by the cavalry that suddenly rushed out. Even with the player's nature of not being afraid of death, he was completely defeated in an instant and then the wolf bèi fled. As for those who wanted to fight up, they were directly killed in the early stages of the battle, either with their heads cut off or their bodies chopped off.
As a result, most of these players have a hint of fear on their faces, especially when they hear the hypnotic sound of horses' hooves again, and the first reaction of the frightened players is to turn around and run away. If Chen Kai hadn't grabbed it, it was estimated that the defensive array that had been built up with great difficulty would collapse again because of the player named Hu Fei.
However, even so, the entire defensive position was a little unstable because of that player, after all, sometimes the most important thing to fight against the charging cavalry was to have firm confidence and courage. It's just that the player's retreat from the player named Hu Fei has wiped out the courage that he had finally mustered up, if it weren't for the fact that most of the people's war horses didn't have the body to run, and the two legs couldn't run on four legs, it was estimated that even if Chen Kai tried hard, he would not be able to maintain his position.
Of course, Chen Kai and the others are not without a chance of winning, as long as those spellcasters can quickly recover, especially a few earth elemental spellcasters. On this kind of plain battlefield, a few traps or sudden stabs are far more terrifying than swords for a running war horse. However, since the caster is mostly sitting in a carriage when attacked, and rarely riding a war horse, they are more likely to run on their legs when they are attacked and flee.
It was lucky to be able to survive the cavalry in this situation, so these mages were legendary long-distance runners. It's just that no matter how fast the mages run, they can't ignore their meager bodies. Many mages were pale when they were rescued, and even if they rode all the way over, they didn't recover from the fact that their bodies had been consumed.
Therefore, these earth elemental mages can't even cast the lowest-level earth elemental balls, let alone trap horses in the ground. As for casting a third-order mid-stage spell like the Earth Thorn Technique, those Earth Elemental Mages were even more powerless. They could only hope for a little more time for the warriors in front of them to resist for a while longer, so that they could eat something and regain their strength.
Fei Yun pulled out his massive crossbow again, and under the shocked eyes of the other players and wandering knights, the shrunken bed crossbow emitted a mesmerizing purple glow. Of course, this is not a spell or alchemical light, but a metal reflection emitted by the fixing parts made of purple iron on the crossbow machine.
As for the new crossbow arrows of this crossbow machine, they were more than a dozen huge crossbow arrows with thick bowls, and these crossbow arrows were all bought by Fei Yun from Chen Kai and then from those dwarven blacksmith masters. These are all real bed crossbow arrows, and they are not those shoddy ordinary arrows, they are all elaborate armor-piercing arrows.
However, Fei Yun took out the crossbow arrows just to show them, in fact, the only thing he wanted to use was a few crossbow arrow boxes. That is, the kind of crossbow receiver that can shoot hundreds of crossbow arrows in an instant, and these crossbow receivers are the best attack weapons in this situation.
Almost at the moment when those cavalry stepped on the ground and rushed over, Fei Yun quickly pulled the crossbow string with the help of Su Xinghe and Zhao Tiezhu. Immediately after, under the dull gaze of those players, hundreds of short crossbow arrows burst out in an instant, forming a small black cloud in the air in an instant. The cavalry who rushed over almost subconsciously wanted to pull the horses to dodge these flying crossbow arrows, but because the speed of the crossbow arrows was too fast, they failed to dodge.
With a painful neighing of horses, more than fifty Hugodi cavalrymen lost their horses in an instant, and of course some unlucky horsemen lost their lives in an instant. After all, no matter how tenacious the Douqi Protector is, there are still places that it can't protect, such as the eyes, nose, and around the mouth. Even if these cavalrymen are wearing masks, it is difficult to resist these crossbow arrows with armor-piercing effects, of course, the cost of this wave of crossbow arrows is also quite high, in order to buy these crossbow arrows for Fei Yun, Chen Kai spent all the reward gold coins given by the Havadiro knights, and also pasted several purple gold coins himself.
However, the effect of this wave of crossbow attacks was unusually good, at least the horses that were shot and fell to the ground caused considerable problems for the cavalry behind. The Hugodi cavalry, which was originally lined up in a dense charging formation, had to start to disperse, which was good news for Chen Kai and them, whose defensive position was not thick enough, but it was not necessarily good news. Because the quantity and quality of Chen Kai's soldiers were far inferior to those cavalry, and most of them were not in good shape or were not lightly injured. The scattered cavalry made it necessary for Chen Kai to evenly place his meager guard strength in various places to guard the casters who were lying in them resting.
But looking at the player warriors standing around him who were trembling a little even with their shields, Chen Kai felt that they were not so reliable, no matter how he looked at them. He was sure that if the battle went against him, the guys would be the first to throw off their legs and run away.
Therefore, in fact, Chen Kai really relied not on a large number of players, but on the wandering knights who were rescued by him. Although most of these knights were injured, they still had the spirit of fighting, and from their blood-red angry eyes, Chen Kai could tell that these wandering knights were pregnant with hatred in their hearts.
If it weren't for the fact that these knights knew that if they lost their position, they would be easily divided and surrounded by those cavalry and then killed, and in their current state, they would have rushed out angrily and fought with those cavalry on their horses. But even so, these wandering knights were the first group of people to strike, and they directly slashed out more than a dozen fighting qi slashes with great power at the moment when those cavalry scattered and rushed over.
These fighting qi slashes flew out and rushed directly towards the dismounted war horses of those cavalry, killing no less than ten sturdy high-grade war horses in a short moment of contact. The cavalry on the horses jumped to their feet the moment their mounts were hit, dodging the ripple attack of the fighting slash. However, when they landed, they were attacked by unscrupulous players from a ranged attack, and dozens of arrows were fired from the crossbow arrows, and these feathered arrows fired by melee players were not high in accuracy but surprisingly powerful. After all, most melee players are surprisingly large in terms of strength, far higher than ranged archers.
Of course, if it is only strong and not accurate, then even a big knight who shoots an arrow will not be able to hit any cavalry. However, it is important to know that there are not only close knights and swordsmen among the players around, but also several ranged shooters with bows and arrows. Although these people were very panicked when they fled, they began to be very calm when they raised their bows and arrows and began to shoot at this moment, and almost all the deadly feathered arrows were shot from the hands of these shooters.
These feathered arrows shot from the hands of the archers were faster than those shot from the hands of others, and at the same time carried a hint of spinning power. This is one of the reasons why archers are more powerful than other warriors in archery, because only true archers can shoot spinning arrows, which are more penetrating. When combined with a specialized spiral piercing arrow, it can pierce through any normal piece of armor with a hardness of less than 5 points.
Of course, this is only the strength of fourth-order archers, if the level is higher, the archers' armor-piercing ability will become even stronger, and they don't need to stick to weapons, they just need the bow and arrow in their hands to shoot powerful enough feather arrows. However, a good bow and arrow is also very important for archers, although they do not rely on the bow and arrow in their hand, a good bow can make their arrows more powerful and penetrating.
For example, Zhou Xuan's feather arrow that shot the entire head of a cavalryman was shot from her newly arrived bow, and this gold-inlaid silk purple satin bow was the practice work of several dwarven masters. But for Zhou Xuan, it is a rare good bow. After all, a good bow is a bit too rare in the game, and most of all bows and arrows are tabula rasa, but this purple satin bow is a compound alchemy bow with a heavy hit attribute.
Of course, the price of the bow and arrow is also extremely expensive, which has caught up with the cost of the crossbow machine twice as large as this bow, and it is impossible to bargain and only accept the same value of ore and elemental water. Therefore, Chen Kai had to scold these dwarf blacksmith masters for having the talent of profiteers, and they were also very black and ruthless profiteers.
"Sure enough, the dwarves who have been in the human world for a long time are all human spirits" This is Chen Kai's only thought after being exploited by those dwarf masters with a large amount of elemental water, if it weren't for the fact that they were afraid that they would have nowhere to find water when they left the veins of the earth, so they filled a large number of water jars with elemental river water, Chen Kai would not have been so generous to use elemental water to pay for bows and arrows.
However, looking at the bow and arrow in Zhou Xuan's hand that constantly emitted the light of magic, Chen Kai suddenly felt that this exchange was quite valuable. Although each activation of a heavy attack requires nearly 100 points of mana to consume Zhou Xuan, it will also consume a trace of power in the magic crystal on the bow and arrow. However, the effect is unusually sharp, and the feather arrow blessed by the heavy hit will accelerate again the moment it hits the target, doubling the penetration and impact of the feather arrow again. Those unlucky knights who were hit in the head and then were shot in the head all of a sudden, just ate this skill, and still felt that their protective fighting spirit and helmet could block the feather arrows.
Therefore, several Hugodi cavalrymen who didn't know the situation suffered a big loss at once, and these cavalrymen almost couldn't find Zhou Xuan to take revenge, because most of them had no heads. When these cavalrymen landed on the ground, their first reaction to the feather arrows coming from the pavement was to dodge, and the feather arrows shot by Zhou Xuan were difficult to dodge because of the strength of the bow itself.
But no matter how hard the others tried, the results they achieved couldn't compare to Fei Yun's crossbow. The only pity is that the modified crossbow machine can no longer gain experience even if it fires small crossbow arrows, which is similar to Chen Kai's two disposable crossbow arrows.
Looking at the crossbow arrows planted on the ground as dense as planted weeds, Chen Kai felt that fortunately these crossbow arrows could be recycled, otherwise every time Fei Yun fired crossbow arrows, Chen Kai felt that he was burning money. Even though they basically don't have to worry about running out of gold coins now, the nature of cherishing gold coins as a professional player still makes Chen Kai can't help but calculate in his heart how much the crossbow arrows he shoots are worth.
However, as long as he can repel those cavalry, or even kill them all, even if Fei Yun shoots all the crossbow arrows in his backpack, Chen Kai will pinch his nose and admit it. After all, it was they themselves who were unlucky enough to get into the encirclement set by others.
After shooting three waves of crossbow arrows, Fei Yun began to switch to crossbow arrows. After all, there were no more cavalry gathered together at this time, and the use of small crossbow arrows would not only outweigh the losses, but would bring great trouble to the defense. Because when the crossbow bolts are fired, the people in front of them need to disperse, and at this time it will give those cavalry a chance to rush in.
After losing the crossbow arrow suppression and support, Chen Kai and the others had to officially face the remaining more than 100 cavalry. Even in terms of numbers, Chen Kai and the other players and aboriginal wandering knights were nearly twice as many as the other party, but in terms of combat effectiveness, the other party was twice as high as them.
As the most powerful land arm in history, cavalry occupies an important historical and military position in both the East and the West. Even in the game, the status of cavalry is much higher than that of ordinary soldiers, and the cavalry in the game is not as simple as infantry on horses. All cavalry must be proficient in several techniques for using weapons at once, as well as greater combat strength and durability.
Therefore, cavalry is more powerful than infantry in the game, and of course it is more rich, and cavalry that can afford to raise war horses and deserve a heavy armor will basically not be poor. At the same time, these Hugodi cavalry were the most fearsome heavy cavalry among the cavalry, and they had a strong ability to shock the whole column. Even a single hoplite cavalry could break up a defensive formation composed of three to five infantry, so it was very difficult for Chen Kai and the others to defend against the onslaught of these more than 100 hoplites.
But no matter how difficult it is, Chen Kai must do it, and they have to block none of these cavalry from the periphery. Because once those cavalry rushed into the protective circle, the caster who lost his body was basically no better than a chicken.
"Bump" With the first sound of collision between the cavalry and infantry shields, Chen Kai and the others fell into the most dangerous stage of hand-to-hand combat. At this time, if they want to survive and repel the enemy's attack, they can only rely on their own strength and willpower, because the surrounding companions are in a state of attack, and there is no one and no chance to come to any rescue.
Chen Kai held the giant sword in his hand tightly, he did not have a spear in one hand and a shield in the other to fight against the cavalry charge like other players. Because he knew that even if the spear restrained the cavalry on a certain chengdù, the premise of that qiē was that the spear could pierce the opponent's body, and with the current player's combat ability and timid chengdù, it was already a very fortunate thing that he could raise his shield to protect himself when the cavalry rushed over.
What Chen Kai wanted to do was to counterattack at the moment when those cavalry rushed over, and it is estimated that only Chen Kai, who is a superhuman in the entire team, has such an ability. His body was incomparable to even those aboriginal wandering knights, at least those wandering knights had already begun to gasp for breath with the player, but Chen Kai was still breathing steadily and was able to dodge the spear stabbing at his head very accurately, and at the same time swing his giant sword to cut off the legs of the horseman's crotch.
With a clicking sound and a ** tumbling and falling, Chen Kai knew that the cavalryman had broken away from his mount and fell to the ground. But at this moment, he could not turn around and slash at the cavalry who had fallen to the ground, because two more cavalrymen urged their horses to rush towards him. At the same time, two swarthy spears were thrown from their hands, and these two spears that emitted cold light shot at him at a very high speed.
At the moment when he saw the two throwing guns, Chen Kai's first reaction was to raise his weapon and want to block the two throwing guns, but in the end he chose to dodge. Because he found that if he resisted the two throwing guns, he would be hit hard if he couldn't block them, so in the end, Chen Kai dodged the two throwing guns that came from flat with an iron plate bridge. The two throwing spears almost grazed the face protection of Chen Kai's helmet, and at the same time shot very accurately at the cavalry behind Chen Kai who got up after falling, shooting two huge blood holes in his back.
As for Chen Kai, he lay on the ground in an instant after completing the iron plate bridge, and then rolled to the side to dodge the two spears that stabbed down, and stabbed the giant sword in his hand upwards at the moment he jumped up. Using the tremendous power of his feet to kick the ground, Chen Kai performed a thrusting skill the moment he stood up, and his body and giant sword formed a huge sword that flew straight in front of a Hugodi cavalryman.
Before the other party could withdraw the spear that had been stabbed, Chen Kai's giant sword had already made a huge opening between the opponent's chest and abdomen. Of course, due to the heavy armor of the heavy cavalry, this opening only looks relatively huge, and the actual damage is not very high, at least far less than Chen Kai expected. A red damage of about 1,000 points flew out of the cavalryman's head, and at the same time, Chen Kai also turned his weapon the moment the damage floated out, and used the rotation and running of his body to pull out the giant sword stuck in the crack in the armor.
At the same time, this action also made the wound of the Hugodi cavalry be magnified again, at least from the nearly 500 red damage flying out of his head, you can know what the red blood that shot out of the wound represented. However, Chen Kai is more concerned about how to kill the other party than this, after all, no matter how much damage Chen Kai causes, as long as he does not take the other party down, then the threat of this cavalry to him will always exist.
Therefore, Chen Kai didn't even think about it, and directly shook his right hand, and when he shook it, a sharp arm blade bounced out of the armor on his arm. Then Chen Kai clenched his fists and jumped up and punched the cavalryman's back hard, the fist hit directly on the opponent's armor, and the arm blade instantly pierced into the opponent's armor.
In fact, this equipment is a very non-chivalric weapon, it is more like an assassin weapon than a crossbow, and it is. It's just that this weapon was not installed by Chen Kai, but by Fei Yun. But at this time, this arm blade was a very effective and practical killing weapon, because the place where Chen Kai stabbed was the back of the opponent's neck, that is, under the head. Although this place is the edge area where the armor is thickest, it is precisely because it is the edge area that there is a gap between the cuirass and the helmet, and it is really this gap that the arm blade pierces.
With a ho-ho sound, the Hugodi cavalry who was stabbed in the neck by Chen Kai lost nearly 3,000 health points in a burst of pain, and Chen Kai's arm blade also completed its mission and remained at the opponent's neck.
