Chapter 181: Tug of War

Nangong Lie and a group of soldiers finally rushed out of the West City and retreated towards Red Moon City.

When Marshal Feng saw the signal flare, he instantly guessed Nangong Lie's intentions, personally led 100,000 troops, and after meeting with Gongsun Leng's troops, he pursued Nangong Lie.

Nangong Lie fled all the way with his troops, and in the blink of an eye, he had already run out for more than twenty miles, while the pursuers of the White Tiger Empire were rapidly narrowing the distance between the two sides.

All because of the 200,000 people pursued by the White Tiger Army, 100,000 were all cavalry, and they had separated from the infantry and chased after them directly.

In such a lonely pursuit, Marshal Feng was obviously full of confidence in his cavalry, otherwise, with his caution, he would not be so arrogant.

Nangong Lie frowned, directing the soldiers to retreat while looking around at the terrain.

Between the two cities, he deployed an army of 400,000 to prevent retreat and intercept the opponent's pursuers.

And Marshal Feng obviously expected this, and at a distance of more than two hundred zhang from the opponent's troops, the speed slowed down, waiting for his own troops on the one hand, and at a distance on the other.

Seeing this, Nangong Lie couldn't help frowning and said, "Old fox, it's really a clever plan!"

If the cavalry pursued with all their might, perhaps the tripping horse rope would still have the effect of surprise, but now that the cavalry had slowed down, then the 400,000 ambushed troops would not be of much use in the face of the heavily armored cavalry.

Thinking of this, Nangong Lie immediately moved in his heart, and gave a few orders to a cavalry general beside him, and this cavalry quickly stepped up and left!

"It should be here!" After traveling for more than ten miles, the other party's 100,000 infantry had slowly followed, Nangong Lie glanced around, and then spoke.

"After advancing another three hundred zhang, turn around and set up the formation, the sharpshooters are ready, shoot the horses, and all the infantry cover the archers!" Nangong Lie's order was quickly conveyed among the troops!

Three hundred zhang, soon reached, the Dragon Teng Empire warriors who had secretly organized the formation quickly gathered together.

Nearly 10,000 archers bent their bows and arrows, and by the faint moonlight, they aimed at the trailing pursuers.

"Put-" The pursuers finally reached the firing range, Nangong Lie did not hesitate at all, and decisively gave the order to release the arrows.

When it was, the arrows were like flying locusts, and a rain of arrows floated in the sky, as if a huge black band of light shrouded in the direction of the White Tiger Army's cavalry!

"Flutter!" the rain of arrows scattered, even if the White Tiger Army was wearing heavy armor, after all, it still had a bare position, under the dense arrows, many soldiers were injured, and the cavalry who rushed to the front could not be spared, and the horses were shot one after another.

The horses screamed, and many soldiers were thrown off their horses.

"What a gut-" Marshal Feng shouted, "Dismount and raise your shield, protect the warhorse, and the archers will shoot back!"

With the defense of the shield, Nangong Lie's arrows were finally blocked, and at the same time, there were also some archers among the cavalry, who also bent their bows and arrows, and shot towards the warriors of the Longteng Empire!

The equipment of the soldiers of the Dragon Empire is inferior to that of the other party, and the shields are also some small round shields, which have lost a lot of warriors under this round of arrow rain.

The corners of Nangong Lie's mouth twitched slightly, and he said, "Hold on to me!"

Those warriors silently raised their shields, and some even raised the bodies of their comrades, not that they were cold-blooded, they wanted to keep their useful bodies to avenge the dead brothers.

"Advance slowly!" Marshal Feng gave the order again, and the soldiers of the White Tiger Army raised their shields and slowly advanced towards Nangong Lie's position!

Nangong Lie bit it and looked at the back of the opponent's camp, and finally, the 100,000 infantry on the other side also followed, and it was only a hundred zhang away from the 100,000 cavalry.

"That's at this time, let me Nangong Lie give you a big gift!" The corners of Nangong Lie's mouth finally hooked up a smile, and in an instant, a turquoise signal flare rose into the air.

"What's that?" Gongsun Leng saw the rising flare, his heart tightened, and he said a little naturally.

At this moment, among the bushes and grasses on both sides, black shadows immediately flew over, and they were all ropes.

These ropes were originally used to deal with the tripping ropes of the cavalry, but the cavalry was too slow and the tripping ropes were not used.

At one end of the rope was a trap for animal hunting, and with the help of the well-trained soldiers of the Dragon Empire, the head of some White Tiger soldiers was accurately struck.

Immediately, the warriors in the quilt suddenly felt a strong force coming, and their bodies fell uncontrollably, and they were dragged and slid towards the grass on both sides.

"There is an ambush!" Gongsun Leng immediately became a spirit, and his sword was full of anger, cutting off the two ropes around him.

However, the other party ambushed an army of 400,000 troops, more than four times his strength, and at the same time, his own soldiers participated in the siege battle, and they also ran for more than 30 miles in one go, so their physical strength naturally consumed a lot.

Nearly five or six thousand warriors were dragged directly into the grass, and a miserable cry was heard.

"Back to back, defend!" Gongsun coldly ordered.

At the moment, the remaining warriors were back to back, guarding against the ropes on both sides.

Suddenly, a dull sound sounded, and in the grass, countless trunks with the thickness of bowls flew straight over, and one end of the trunk was actually sharpened into a sharp point.

The White Tiger Army is extremely well equipped, and it is difficult to hurt them with ordinary bows and swords, but these sharp logs are different, these sharp logs are thrown by dozens of warriors together.

The momentum was strong, and the White Tiger Army soldier who was hit by the sharp wood turned on his back, and there was a sharp pain in his chest.

Among the 100,000 White Tiger Army, because of the throwing of this batch of sharp wood, it fell into chaos.

Immediately, countless arrows shot out of the grass, and at such a close distance, those warriors naturally didn't know what to expect, and many soldiers of the White Tiger Army died under the arrows.

At the same time, Marshal Feng in front also discovered the tragic situation in the back, and a trace of incredible shock flashed in his eyes, he didn't expect Nangong Lie to arrange so many killing situations in such an urgent situation.

If he doesn't come back to help, the 100,000 infantry will be wiped out at any time, and he immediately gritted his teeth and said fiercely: "Get on the horse, cover the infantry, and the whole army will retreat!"

The impact of the cavalry was still considerable, and these cavalry warriors wrapped in heavy armor rushed towards the bushes on both sides, and at this moment, those arrows also stopped instantly, and the 400,000 army was certainly not stupid enough to fight with the cavalry.

After leaving behind more than 40,000 corpses of the other party, Marshal Feng finally escaped with the remnants of the army!

Nangong Lie looked at the back of the other party fleeing, couldn't help but sigh secretly, and said to himself: "Alas, I finally missed a hand, if you set up a tripwire in the bushes and grass, maybe you can kill and injure a lot of cavalry!"

However, now it has also achieved a lot of results, after successfully getting rid of the chasing soldiers, Nangong Lie did not dare to slack off, and immediately led a group of soldiers to retreat towards Red Moon City.

"I don't know what happened to the Ram Principal?" At the moment of entering Red Moon City, Nangong Lie secretly thought in his heart that in the face of three peerless masters, even if the Ram Xiao Xiu was profound, it was still dangerous.

Just as he was missing, a figure fell beside him a little embarrassed, patted his chest with some gasp, and said, "Damn, fortunately I escaped quickly, otherwise I would definitely not die well if I was caught by these three rabbit cubs!"

"Principal Ram!" Nangong Lie frowned and said happily, "How are you?"

Ram Xiao smiled: "Although I can't help them, but if I want to escape, they can't stop them, hurry up and let the old man rest for a while, otherwise I really can't hold on!"

After Nangong Lie retreated to Red Moon City, he rested for a few days, and the spies were also released, and unexpectedly, the White Tiger Empire did not take advantage of the victory to attack Red Moon City this time.

Instead, he temporarily settled down in Xiaoyue City, which also made Nangong Lie breathe a sigh of relief, and he also took this opportunity to rest the wounded, and at the same time deployed a series of preventive measures.
