Chapter 47: Escape
Listening to the rapid and chaotic sound of the horn, Buck's face sank, and he looked at Qin Shaofu who ran over and asked urgently, "What's the matter?"
Qin Shaofu looked stunned: "Ah, I don't know, what does this horn sound mean?"
"Run!"
Buck's face was gloomy: "Freeman told everyone to run for their lives, regardless of everything. ”
Qin Shaofu's face changed: "What happened?"
"How do I know!" Buck frowned and shook his head, as if he didn't know what to do.
Qin Shaofu immediately suggested: "You wait, I'll find a way to see the situation." Damn, didn't you have the upper hand?"
Then he headed in the direction of the battlefield, and Buck obviously didn't believe him that much, and followed.
I didn't dare to go to the battlefield directly, but went around to the nearest hill and climbed a big tree to overlook, and I could see part of the battlefield.
The battle is over, and although it is difficult to see the whole picture, it can be inferred that it is a one-sided battle. Half of the heavily armed Rhine troops were killed and wounded, but there was a new force on the battlefield, a group of soldiers in wooden armor.
The soldiers have green tattoos on their bodies, which are difficult to spot once they are hidden in the jungle. I don't know if it's the newly trained troops of the Rhine, or the druids.
There were bandits who desperately tried to escape, but the wood-armored soldiers were very agile and especially good at mountain warfare, and they could easily be captured.
"How?"
Buck climbed up and asked cautiously. It can be seen that he is not good at climbing trees, not only does he dare not climb to the top of the tree, but even if he stands on the thick branches, his legs are trembling slightly.
Qin Shaofu asked puzzledly, "Can't you see, didn't they say that you used to be a knight?"
The improvement of cultivation can strengthen physical fitness, and so is eyesight, the stronger the cultivation, the better the eyesight. Buck is an eighth-grade Xuanjie, and he should see farther than himself.
"A knight who has lost the faith of the God of Light, do you think he can still have the strength he once had?" Buck shook his head and said, "I can't do a lot of things except that I can barely compare to my previous physical strength. ”
So that's the case, Qin Shaofu suddenly understood, no wonder Hadros dared to send himself to carry out this task. Otherwise, if you use your own strength to kill a knight of the eighth rank of the Xuan Rank, unless you fall into the river, you will have no chance...... It's a mountainous area, and there are only small streams.
"The battle is over, one side is down, the other side still has the army. Qin Shaofu explained: "The previous defeat was just a bluff, in order to lead people down the mountain. “
"Defeat!"
Buck looked incredulous: "In order to catch more than 300 bandits, I would rather use more than 200 well-trained sergeants as bait, how can there be such a war?"
"Yes!" Qin Shaofu nodded: "If you forcibly attack the mountain, you will definitely suffer if you lose your geographical advantage, and if you encounter a possible rainstorm, the casualties may not be less than two hundred." Although this tactic is ruthless, it is indeed a very effective method, once and for all. “
Buck still couldn't accept it, and emphasized: "That's more than 200 lives!"
Qin Shaofu sighed: "Someone once told me that if one day you become the commander of a large army, you will understand that war is a game of numbers in the final analysis. If you can keep exchanging small numbers for big numbers for big numbers for your enemies, as long as the overall disparity in strength is not too great, then the final result is that you win. ”
"You will be a hero, you will be sung, and how those numbers are dead, far from the battlefield, those who are alive will not care, because it is not them who are dead, they only want victory. ”
"Brute!"
Buck clenched his fists, a look of rage. At this time, he was no longer fanatical as before, and he was not so indifferent, as if something like this had stirred something in his heart.
"This ......"
Qin Shaofu was about to say a few words of relief, when his expression suddenly changed, he saw that in the battlefield, there was a man in silver armor who suddenly pointed in the direction where he was after listening to the report of a man next to him, and then many soldiers in wooden armor came in this direction.
"Oh no, found us, let's go. ”
Immediately urged Buck to jump from the tree and run all the way to the mountains.
After running wildly, Buck asked loudly, "Found, what found?"
"Above!" Qin Shaofu pointed to the sky: "I saw an eagle, it is estimated that they raised it, and they know that I am here...... Run into the woods. ”
If it is a falcon raised by an ordinary hunter, it can still find a way to seduce it with food and then kill it. But this can't, it's controlled by the druids, and they can't use this simple way to wit a person.
Now the plan is to either wait for this eagle to fall tiredly, or can only use the dense forest to avoid those eyes. Obviously, the latter is more realistic.
The two of them ran wildly and ran far away. With his rock climbing method, Qin Shaofu is more agile than a monkey here, even if Buck has the physical strength of the eighth rank of the Xuan Rank, he was quickly thrown away by him.
The task was urgent, Qin Shaofu had no choice but to stop, and said urgently: "You run first, go in that direction, I will find a way to see if I can drag it out." ”
"This ......"
Buck was surprised, he didn't expect Qin Shaofu to be like this. At this moment, it doesn't matter if you are sure to run for your life, regardless of others.
Qin Shaofu didn't have time to be verbose, and yelled: "Hurry up, don't bother me!"
"Thank you!" Buck said and ran away.
Looking back at the direction he came from, Qin Shaofu carefully cleaned up the traces, and by jumping on the tree, he found a hidden place to hide hundreds of meters away.
He has the heart to save Buck, but only if he doesn't let himself fall into too dangerous a situation. He wanted to see how well those wooden soldiers could move in the mountains, and if it exceeded his expectations, he would have to abandon the mission.
After waiting for a quarter of an hour, I saw more than a dozen wooden soldiers rushing over. These soldiers are trained very differently from ordinary soldiers, running less like people and more like beasts, and extremely fast in the mountains.
This group of centaurs, it should be a newly established army, they are not very old, most of them are less than twenty years old, and they can be roughly judged by their actions and the degree of true qi revealed, and most of them are in the third and fourth grades of the Xuan Rank like themselves. The leader has the strength of the seventh or eighth rank of the Xuan Rank.
They have a very special energy aura on them, similar to magic, which should be the power that belongs to the druids.
Wrapped in these energies, whenever they rushed into the bushes, the dense branches not only did not hinder them, but instead parted like waves, pushing them forward faster and faster.
In such a place, these guys are afraid that they can exert one or two grades of combat power beyond them, no wonder the bandits are eliminated so quickly.
But the good news is that their speed is still limited......
After making a judgment, Qin Shaofu pretended to accidentally step on a dead branch, and the small breaking sound immediately attracted the attention of those soldiers, and with a roar, he chased after him.
