Chapter 12: Escape! Escape! Escape!

There was the sound of the whistling wind in his ears, and Hal frantically urged the horses under him, no longer having the usual love for him.

From time to time, when I turned my head to look, I could see smoke and dust billowing behind on both sides, and it was obvious that a large number of troops were approaching. At this moment, he suddenly began to hate himself, if he hadn't been too stupid to think of this possibility, he wouldn't have been chased so embarrassed.

But as has been mentioned countless times before, there are no ifs. All Hal can do now is to run frantically towards the Shangqiu camp, as long as he enters the defensive range of the Shangqiu camp, he will be considered safe.

Although the terrain near Shangqiu is not a plain, there is no dangerous terrain. Most of them are low hills, and there is no way to hide Hal's fleeing figure, but fortunately, the ambush site is not far from the Shangqiu camp, but the distance between the hills makes Hal invisibly waste a lot of time.

When the sound of countless feathered arrows breaking through the air sounded, countless soldiers fell to the ground screaming, wailing and the aura of death enveloped them. But at this time, Hal became very calm, there were almost no distractions in his head, just calmly analyzed the distance between himself and the Shangqiu camp, and the elder brother must have been paying attention to the battle situation here from time to time, at this time, I believe that reinforcements have been sent, and with the personality of the elder brother, maybe he will make a corresponding command.

In this short moment, Hal was terrifyingly calm, as if he had experienced something like this countless times before.

The rain of arrows still roared and followed in the footsteps of Hal, and a large number of retreating Central Plains cavalry were killed in the flight, leaving blood all the way, but almost everyone knew that as long as they escaped into the range of the Shangqiu camp, it was safe.

Riding over a hillside, the mount under Howl's crotch finally let out a mournful roar, and it was a sudden leap that broke its hooves! Hal instinctively hugged his head and fell off the horse, rolled forward seven or eight meters away, and the fall was not able to react for a while.

When Hal came to his senses, he found himself on a low dirt slope. Hal didn't think about the cavalry that was constantly rushing towards him in front of him, and if he stayed where he was, he would wait for death, and he would be trampled into meat sauce by the cavalry that surged up. Rolled over and jumped off the dirt slope, curled up and hid in the shade of the dirt slope.

The sand rumbled above his head, and the only thing Hal could do was curl up as much as he could, praying that the horses above him wouldn't step on him. It's like the end of the world!

I don't know how long it took for the sound of horses' hooves to become quieter, and then there was a terrible fight and wailing. Hal was a little stunned, at this time he was like a native in the sand, quietly got out of the hiding place, carefully climbed up the dirt slope, but was stunned by the scene in front of him.

Trapped! Massive traps!

Just on the way where the barbarian cavalry on both sides surrounded and pursued, a large-scale horse trap appeared. Countless barbarian cavalry didn't expect that there would be a horse trap in this place, and they were caught off guard, and they fell to the ground one after another, breaking their muscles and bones. Their fall affected the cavalry behind, and there was a huge confusion with them.

Judging from the sky above the battlefield, the barbarian cavalry pursuing on both sides was in disarray.

The trap will not exist for no reason, although the barbarians are a little mentally retarded in the script setting, it does not mean that they have no brains. The existence of such a thing as a trap indicates that there is an ambush nearby!

Sure enough, the barbarian cavalry had not yet recovered from the chaos, and after a trumpet sounded, the sky suddenly became dark!

Hal's pupils shrank, and he rolled over and crawled out of his shade, rolling back up the dirt slope. There were many corpses left by cavalry on the dirt slope, and he hid under one of the human-like corpses, trying to keep the other body above his body.

There was a muffled pop, and Hal knew it was the sound of arrows hitting the flesh. With a muffled snort from Hal, a sharp arrow pierced through the barrier of the corpse and steadily pierced Hal's palm, but Hal still gritted his teeth and held on, lifting the corpse higher.

The hellish sonata lasted less than a minute before it ended, and Hal gritted his teeth and threw the body aside, the vicinity of the dirt slope as if baptized with arrows, and white feathers all over the ground. Snapping the feathered arrow stuck in his palm, Hal gritted his teeth and climbed up the dirt slope, looking out toward the battlefield in the distance.

Hell...

The rain of arrows that lasted less than a minute baptized the whole land, and the full-coverage attack made those barbarian cavalry trapped near the trap have nowhere to hide, and the 20,000 barbarian cavalry that followed the pursuit suffered heavy casualties, even the barbarian cavalry who survived were mostly wounded and difficult to continue fighting.

In the distance, the banner belonging to the new dynasty fluttered, and a large number of Central Plains soldiers held strong shields and blades, and marched towards the only remaining barbarian cavalry step by step. It was this steel battle array that brought tremendous pressure to these barbarian cavalry who were lucky enough to pick up a life. There are even quite a few people who have already laid down their weapons and prayed for surrender.

In the distance, a detachment of cavalry returned all the way in the direction of the retreat of the Central Plains cavalry. In the whole land, there is only this passage without any horse pits.

"Your Highness! Your Highness! Are you there? The cavalry shouted along the way, and sure enough, they had come to look for Howl's traces.

After confirming that it was his own cavalry, Hal picked up a spear from the ground next to him, tore off his cloak and shook it at the group of cavalry.

The cavalry rushed over, and after confirming Hal's identity, the cavalry captain asked the soldiers to give up a horse and asked Hal to quickly leave the dirt slope.

"What's going on?" Hal instinctively sensed that something was wrong with these cavalrymen who had come to find him, and asked despite the wound on his palm.

"This is the marshal's order, the barbarian army will attack soon, I have not much time to wait, please leave with us as soon as possible!" The leading soldier's tone was not very respectful, as if it was because Hal had wasted a lot of his own life.

But Hal didn't care about this, he cared more about the words from the cavalry, "the marshal's order"

This means that his brother had long expected such a situation, and even made an ambush on the way to the army in addition to himself. Hal rode his horse and quickly retreated in the direction of the Shangqiu camp, but the thoughts in his mind became a little confused.

What exactly is betrayal... Still is...

The dispute between the eldest prince and the second prince sometimes even involves him, the third prince, but in all fairness, although he, the third prince, also has fantasies, he has never had the mind to get involved. Whether it is the influence of the eldest prince in the court, or the prestige of the second prince in the army, it is far from being comparable to him as a teenager.

It's just that... Since he learned that everything was the order of the second prince, he hesitated...

"Brother... Are you trying to kill me!? ”
