Chapter 17: Escape
Sun Chenghuan rolled away on the ground here, and then jumped up from the ground. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Behind him, a big man looked at him.
With his toes, he guessed who this man was.
Eldraine, it can only be him.
The two men looked at each other for a moment.
The way to say hello is simple.
Ai Zhuo directly slashed at Sun Chenghuan.
Sun Chenghuan knew that the way he greeted him must be like this, but what he didn't expect was that this knife was really fast, and there was no warning.
One moment ago, Eltrue's right hand was still at the waist position, and the next moment, it was close to Sun Chenghuan's head.
Sun Chenghuan didn't even have time to block with a knife.
I can only get short again and roll to the side.
Then, he found that one roll was not enough.
Because before he could jump up from the ground again, two arrows had already been fired.
This is a battlefield, not a martial arts arena, and the guy on the other side just wants to die by himself, and he doesn't care how he dies.
What is a one-on-one positive win......
Don't even think about it!
Sun Chenghuan immediately realized this, if this place was dragged by this crazy bull-like guy, there would be no life or death.
Run!
After jumping up from the ground as fast as he could, Sun Chenghuan couldn't care less about the danger of turning his back on the enemy.
All the way in the opposite direction where the horse was parked.
There should be a cavalryman in that direction who has just gone to search for his lone horse, and if he can run into him first and grab his horse, he may be able to get out of this encirclement for the time being.
It's just that the dream is very full, but the reality is very skinny.
Sun Chenghuan only ran out of five steps here, and he felt an itch in his back.
It didn't hurt much, but it was clear that something was hurting him.
As if a horse was whipped in a galloping horse, Sun Chenghuan ran faster. Even, he silently recited a spell.
A relatively safer, no obvious side effects of the chaos system enhancement magic, he would have been three years ago, demon fusion.
After the strength and speed obviously went up another level, the feeling of being on the back of the man's back was finally a little less.
It's just that he still didn't even dare to turn his head back, for fear that if he was delayed, he would be caught up by the madman behind him.
Head-on, he saw a cavalryman who was originally riding his horse back, but after seeing Sun Chenghuan, the cavalryman was obviously stunned.
Although, he quickly pulled his bow and arrows, but he was stunned, he had already missed the opportunity to shoot.
Sun Chenghuan jumped directly, got on the horse's horse, stretched out his hand and flicked it hard, and the cavalryman who was still holding a bow was pushed off the horse by him.
It's just that he found that his action of snatching the horse was simply stupid.
Before he could sit down on his horse, he turned his horse and ran away, and when he was confronted, Eldraine had already rushed over.
Although he didn't eat much good food when he was a child, and his nutrition was definitely not as good as that of aristocratic children like Ketran, Sun Chenghuan's stature was no longer small, but in front of Eldraine, Sun Chenghuan felt that he was really a child.
This guy's height must be more than two meters, and when he rushed to the front of the war horse where Sun Chenghuan was sitting, his eyes were looking at Sun Chenghuan.
Bright red eyes, oozing murderous aura.
Sun Chenghuan trembled a little unnaturally.
The knife in Eldraine's hand was faster than his man, and with a diagonal slash, it slashed from above.
Poof.
Sun Chenghuan jumped off the horse.
The head of the horse he was riding had fallen to the ground.
Eldra didn't mean to stop, and with one kick, he kicked the horse that had lost its head and was paralyzed to the side.
The knife that had just been slashed swept sideways.
Sun Chenghuan held his own knife, one by one.
It was loud.
Sun Chenghuan felt that his hands were numb from the shock.
The knives of the two touched and scattered.
Sun Chenghuan took a defensive posture and looked at Eldraine.
Eldzu was obviously more surprised than Sun Chenghuan.
Stared at Sun Chenghuan.
The best defense is offense, this is a sentence that their teacher always repeats in the military theory class of the Second Academy.
Sun Chenghuan remembered at this time.
Since Ai Zhuo was in a daze, Sun Chenghuan got a chance, although his hands were a little numb, but looking at Ai Zhuo there in a daze, it was estimated that he was no better than himself.
When you think of it, you do it.
Sun Chenghuan stabbed, from his lower left to the upper right, holding the handle of the knife with both hands and lifting it diagonally.
Eldraine obviously hadn't come to her senses yet, but instinctively blocked it with her knife.
One hand.
The two knives collided again.
This time, it's louder than it was just now.
Sun Chenghuan held the knife in both hands, while Ai Zhuo only had one hand, so Sun Chenghuan took advantage of it this time.
Eldrow's knife was directly slashed away by Sun Chenghuan.
Ai Zhuo's reaction was very fast, although it was obvious that his brain was a little short-circuited now, and his body was completely commanded by instinct, but when the knife in his hand was cut by Sun Chenghuan, he immediately jumped backwards.
Although Ai Zhuo, who could dodge Sun Chenghuan's blade, was already very fast, he still couldn't avoid it completely.
On his chest, his clothes were torn.
Although he was not seriously injured, some blood had already oozed out.
At this time, Sun Chenghuan finally had time to reach out to his back.
It's an arrow, the one that just felt a little itchy.
He pulled out the arrow and threw it to the side, glaring at it with a look of defiance and contempt, and Eldraine, who looked incredulous there, snorted softly, turned his head, and continued to run.
It's not that Sun Chenghuan doesn't want to take the opportunity to fight with Ai Zhuo twice, it's really ...... He had already seen the cavalry coming after him on horseback.
His first priority now was to find a way to escape from the encirclement of the cavalry.
I wanted to save a little physical strength and rode away on horseback, but unfortunately, the horse's head was cut off......
Sun Chenghuan thought that he could take advantage of the opportunity of Eldraine's distraction and then being injured by himself to widen the distance, so that he would have the opportunity to run in a circle in the direction of the horse hidden on the west gate and ride the horse, so that he would not be killed by Ai Zhuo after he got on the horse.
But apparently, after seeing Sun Chenghuan's action of turning around and fleeing, Ai Zhuo suddenly came back to his senses.
Not only did he come back to his senses, but Sun Chenghuan's provocative action and snort just now made him even more angry.
You mean I can only hurt you with the help of the archers?
That's really what Sun Chenghuan meant......
It's just getting dark, and if you want to get rid of the cavalry, you have to wait at least until after dawn, and you have a good night to escape, and if the cavalry keeps shooting arrows after you, you will really be sad.
It's just obvious that a battle-hardened person like Ai Zhuo, even if he is angry, is not a junior like Sun Chenghuan who can make him lose all his mind with a simple agitation method.
Sun Chenghuan himself has not been so fantasizing.
He had thought about taking half of the people from here.
Therefore, after Sun Chenghuan turned around again and began to escape, a large number of people were still followed behind him.
Time passed in the middle of the run.
Although the duration of the Strength Blessing and the Agility Blessing was about five hours, the Demon Fusion, a third-level chaos magic of the enhanced class, would not last more than three hours.
Even if Sun Chenghuan's current spell-casting ability is close to that of a fifth-level magician, soon, it will be time for the magic effect to disappear.
Enhancement magic is not like offensive magic such as blizzard and fireball, or some defensive magic and functional magic, as long as you recite the spell again, and when the magic elements are reassembled, you can cast it again, perhaps because of the bearing capacity of the human body, or some other reason that has not yet been understood by the magician, it will be effective once a day.
That's why dispel magic is used sparingly when the army is officially fighting.
If you dispel your own people's enhanced magic, it will really hurt the pond fish.
Like tonight, the reason for the large-scale casting of group dispersal magic regardless of whether they are enemies or enemies is because their side really doesn't need the strengthening of magic, and they can completely suppress Sun Chenghuan and their side by relying on more than five times the number of people and the integrated equipment.
The "Art of War" passed from Penglai Country said that ten will be surrounded and five will be attacked. This kind of troop strength of more than five times can be fought hard without reason.
As a result, people like Sun Chenghuan will encounter the unreasonable three consecutive magic dispellings.
However, it was precisely because of the third group dispersal that he was able to move......
This is also a blessing and a curse, right?
It's just that when the time limit for demon fusion has passed, the situation he will face will be very serious.
You can't run four legs on two legs!
The cavalry chasing behind him would be a great threat to him.
He had no choice but to run towards the place where the horse was hidden.
If he didn't succeed in getting on his horse and letting it run, he might have really died under siege by the cavalry......
In a big circle, Sun Chenghuan finally circled back to the vicinity of the West Gate.
In the distance, he saw what appeared to be a figure in the grass where he had just been hiding.
Regardless of his past now, there is a danger of exposing these people, Sun Chenghuan once again added a strengthening magic lasting less than five minutes to himself, and the speed was finally faster.
The distance between him and the person behind him finally widened a little more.
The horse's place arrived.
It was a very beautiful bright red horse, and it was also very tall.
If such a horse were to be sold at Mills, it would cost at least two or three hundred gold coins.
Sun Chenghuan didn't have time to admire the horse that he had just glanced at before he acted, so he turned over directly, jumped on the horse's back, and then clamped the horse's belly between his legs.
The horse finally ran along the official road leading to the post station.
Although he did these actions here very smoothly, he still delayed a little time.
The distance between him and the pursuers behind him was shortened a lot.
But no matter what, the horse ran, and Sun Chenghuan could finally breathe a sigh of relief.
Among his peers in the Second Academy, he was the best rider.
Even stronger than Raven.
In addition, his horse is indeed better than those war horses behind him, and the distance between him and the pursuers has finally begun to slowly widen.
When the legs can stop, the brain starts moving.
The gang behind him can shoot themselves with arrows, so ...... Why don't you fight back?
I don't have a bow or arrow, but I know how to do magic!
Riding and shooting...... This set of tactics was also brought to the Ace continent by the Penglai people, and as a descendant of the Penglai people, he is the original.
Sun Chenghuan recited a spell as fast as he could, and the black ball of light in his hand quickly formed, and then, Sun Chenghuan threw it out behind him.
The most basic form of chaos magic, the Shadow Arrow. Just like the elemental fireball technique, the light healing technique, and the order anti-magic shield, they are all magic that can be learned as long as you want to.
It's just that compared to basic magic such as fireball and healing, there are too few opportunities for the use of shadow arrows, and the lethality is far less than that of fireball techniques, which are also offensive magic, and there are few people who learn it.
But in this dark environment, there is no magic better for sneak attacks than the Shadow Arrow.
It was only when his shadow arrow succeeded in striking a pursuing soldier that it only stirred up a flash of light that he remembered that the anti-magic shield ......
People have it, but horses can't have it!
Sun Chenghuan once again prepared a shadow arrow magic, and this time, it was the war horse that was aimed.
A Shadow Arrow.
Then, a war horse neighed.
Immediately after, there was a scream.
The war horse that was hit by Sun Chenghuan's shadow arrow fell instantly. The cavalryman on the horse also fell directly from the horse, and then was trampled to death by the war horse behind him who could not dodge.
"Disperse! Prepare to shoot back with archery. ”
Sun Chenghuan's attack made Ai Zhuo, who was originally just chasing behind, react, and what they were chasing was not an ordinary fugitive.
This person may have learned a lot of things, and knows some art of war and tactics.
So, this irascible general began to arrange the tactics of chasing the soldiers.
However, Sun Chenghuan was not in a hurry.
He is now on the fleeing side, so he is on the upper hand, and the cavalry behind him are all archery attacks, plus his horse is better, as long as he accelerates, he can pull away a lot of distance, so those bows and arrows are basically far more deterrent than the meaning of attack.
It's just that when the more than 100 cavalry behind him dispersed, it became a lot more difficult to hit the cavalry with shadow arrows.
Sun Chenghuan didn't think about how many pursuers he could kill, as long as the horse was disabled, even if the battle was attritional, the possibility of him escaping would increase little by little when the shadow arrows hit the pursuers' horses again and again.
And so the hour passed.
Continuing to gallop, the horse was already a little exhausted. As a result, the speed of both fleeing and pursuing war horses slowed down.
Sun Chenghuan carefully controlled the distance between himself and the pursuers behind him, so that the other party was always out of the range of the bow and arrow, and within the range of magic. When the opponent accelerates, he accelerates, and when the opponent slows down, he slows down.
Just running like this, Sun Chenghuan suddenly realized that something seemed to be wrong.
According to the instructions of the stars and the moon in the sky, he is now running eastward, and after running for a while, it is estimated that he will reach the forest where he was ambushed before.
When they entered the woods, it would be impossible for these cavalrymen to surround them, and when the time came, they would be able to scatter and kill them one by one. I understand these things, and there is no reason why these soldiers don't understand!
Although the horse is a little tired now, if you don't take advantage of the current effort, there is really no hope......
Wrong!
Sun Chenghuan thought about it.
What about the 100 archers from Carter? Not seen today.
Also, didn't Tenistan say that there were 500 cavalry coming out of Xiguan City? Just now Lao An said that there were only about 400 people.
And what about the remaining hundred cavalry?
