Chapter 391: Pursuit and Return

Although the individual strength of the steppe cavalry is not as good as that of the players, after they are assembled into a legion, they are not at all comparable to the players and the professionals, like the cavalry behind now, it is completely the nightmare of the soldiers under Chenping. The professionals took advantage of the dense forest environment to fight and walk, while the steppe cavalry behind chased all the way, making the professionals cry bitterly. Although the situation was extremely dangerous, Chenping's performance was relatively calm, without the slightest hint of anxiety, so that the hearts of the soldiers did not collapse, and the order to break through was carried out in an orderly manner.

"Are they crazy, aren't they afraid that we have an ambush?" At this time, the old man panicked a little.

I thought that as long as my side entered the depths of the dense forest, the grassland soldiers and horses would not dare to chase and kill, but the truth was not the case at all. The grassland soldiers and horses seemed to know that there would be no reinforcements on the Phantom Clan's side, but they bit on the ground and didn't mean to let them go at all.

"Because they know we don't!" Chenping said a little helplessly.

"So what now?" The old man asked.

"What else can we do but escape?" Chenping smiled bitterly.

Luckily, they had already broken through the area where the beasts were raging, and if they could escape for a while, they would be able to reach the swamp area ahead. Even the local natives dare not set foot in that place easily, and if these steppe people enter there, they will have to shed their skin if they don't die!

"Throw away all our mounts and we'll march on foot!" Finally, Chen Ping and his party finally escaped to the dark swamp area.

"This hellish place is full of traps, and once we get in, it's a question of whether we can get out!" Seeing the dark swamp and dense forest in front of him, the old man's face couldn't help but turn pale for a while.

"Trust me, we'll be fine!" Seeing the old man's hesitation, Chenping turned around and nodded to Xingji, letting her take the lead into the Dark Swamp area.

In addition to the countless swamp traps in the dark swamp, there are countless monsters and poisons that live in it, and if you are not careful, you will die here. However, this kind of ghost place occupies nearly a third of the area of the psychedelic ghost swamp, and no one will want to set foot here except for very experienced hunters.

"Walk from the trees!" Without the mount, Chen Ping and his party had more choices. Jumped directly onto the tree and shuttled through the tree with his superb skills.

At this time, Chenping's team was only left with more than 200 people, a full loss of more than half, and the loss of the players was even more serious, only less than ten people were left to follow the back of the team. It's just that each of the rest of the people is the elite of the elite, and shuttling through the trees is naturally a piece of cake. As soon as Chenping and his men entered the dark swamp area, the steppe cavalry behind them chased after them, but they did not continue the pursuit, but stopped.

"They won't chase them, they're nothing without the beasts!" Chenping glanced back at the group of grassland people and said with a sneer.

"Shoot the arrows!" The commander on the opposite side shouted, and suddenly arrows rained down, forcing Chen Ping and others to retreat again and again.

"Arson monkey!" A dozen horsemen approached with a monster in tow, then unchained it and drove it into the swamp. The monster looked like a big monkey, but it was so angry that people didn't dare to approach, and it wasn't a good thing at first glance.

"Squeak!" As soon as the monster was unraveled, it jumped nimbly up the tree and set it on fire. Then it stared in the direction of Chenping's people, and let out two vicious screams, ignoring the flames that ignited all the trees around it. It's just a moment's effort, and the neighborhood of Chenping is already a sea of fire!

"Run!" Seeing that the situation was not good, Chen Ping and the others hurriedly fled towards the depths of the dark swamp.

"The cavalry in this hellish place can't advance, so they'll all be handed over to you!" The commander turned back to a strange man covered in thorns.

"Don't worry, my lord, we will definitely hand over the head of the Phantom Clan Patriarch to you!" The weirdo confidently agreed, and led a group of weird-looking guys out of the group. But instead of walking from the tree, they plunged headlong into the swamp and disappeared without a trace.

When the commander saw that the strange men had entered the swamp area, he immediately ordered his men to camp in place and wait for the results. It was only half a day later that a quick cavalry came from the rear to report that the camp had been attacked by the enemy, and the commander demanded that they return immediately. The commander glanced at the A-level mission in the task bar, gritted his teeth unwillingly, and ordered his soldiers and horses to return.

The journey was uneventful, and when they were about to return to the edge of the clearing they had burned themselves, the commander suddenly felt that something was wrong, unconsciously tightened the reins, and ordered the military horses to be on guard. The center of the open space in front of him was blazing, and the flying dragon cavalry was constantly circling in the sky, and it was obvious that the two armies were fighting hotly. But at this time, the edge of the dense forest was terrifyingly quiet, and a figure was faintly seen flickering in the dense forest not far away. It seems that the Phantom Clan has already arranged an ambush here, waiting for their soldiers and horses to come back.

"Shrink the formation, ready to release the arrows!" Although the commander was not shocked, he immediately ordered the soldiers and horses to shrink the formation. This time, the two thousand men and horses he brought out were all good players in his tribe, and everyone was good at shooting, so he was ready to fight the soldiers of the Phantom Clan.

"Fire, the other party set it on fire!" When the two armies were about to break out, a fire suddenly appeared among the trees, and spread out like a prairie fire.

"Hmph, the warriors of my Huoyun tribe are still afraid of fire—give me arrows!" The commander sneered, waved his hand sharply, and ordered the soldiers to release their arrows.

For a while, arrows rained down, and the other party chose to release the arrows even when he couldn't see the enemy clearly. After firing at each other for a while, the fire became more and more intense, and they had to stop and retreat a distance behind.

"The other side refuses to show their faces, and if my guess is correct, they are definitely not the main force of the enemy." The commander pondered for a moment and said: "The strength of the Phantom Clan is limited, at best it is only a few thousand men and horses, and it is still insufficient to deal with the tens of thousands of soldiers and horses left behind in the camp, how to divide the troops to ambush us?" It must be a plan to send reinforcements, trying to drag us here and not be able to return to the camp! ”

"That's what your lord said!" The lieutenant next to him nodded yes.

"In that case, let's give them a ruthless one!" Thinking that he had missed the head of the Phantom Clan Patriarch, if he couldn't return to the camp at this time, he was afraid that he would be looked down upon by those guys, and he couldn't help but want to fight hard.

"Kill!" At the command of the commander, two thousand iron horsemen rushed into the flames without hesitation.

"Shoot the arrows!" There was a loud shout in the woods.

"Dread!"

"Retardation!"

"Debilitation!"

"Flash!"

"Winding!"

As soon as the two thousand iron horsemen rushed through the flame area, they saw countless arrows flying, and then a series of spells were added, and the state of the steppe iron horsemen dropped a lot.

"Shaman! I ......" As soon as the commander felt that his state was wrong, he immediately guessed that he had met the main force of the other party, and he couldn't help but scold.
