Chapter 260: Advance is Retreat

"Huh?!"

If it was only a dozen people in front of him, Wu Yong still had some confidence, after all, the few people he brought over were all good, and the enemy in front of him had obviously reached the end of his crossbow after a long journey.

As long as you linger here for a while, it will be easy to find the enemy's flaws, and then the slight difference between the numbers will not be significant.

But if there are still people coming from behind, then the situation is not like this, once the gap in numbers is too large, he will not be arrogant enough to still think about defeating the enemy, and then even retreating with his whole body is estimated to become a problem.

"Huh~"

The whistle in front of me was very close, estimated to be about ten minutes away.

Hearing the loud whistle, the faces of both sides changed, and the nervous mood on Teng Snake's side was obviously eased a lot, although he knew that the enemy was not weak, but he was just afraid that the losses would be too great, and the more manpower, the casualties would naturally be smaller.

"Huh~Huh!"

Two hurried whistles rang out from the ranks.

Hearing the whistle in front of him, Shi Meng's and his party suddenly sped up:

"Quick, the Divine Messenger is in danger!"

Although the meaning may not be completely accurate, the two hurried whistles in the tribe indicate that the situation is urgent and needs the support of the surrounding clansmen, and since this whistle is heard from the front, it is obviously in danger.

Originally, he was a little worried about the safety of the divine envoy, but now that he said it, he was naturally more anxious, and when he broke out with little strength left, he raised the speed to the extreme.

Wu Yong is naturally very greedy for the enemy in front of him, as long as he can catch some back, I believe that the general situation will be able to understand clearly, but it is obviously not a wise move to continue to go down at this time, when he whispered to a few people beside him:

"Let's go!"

Yong Meng alone may join the king's guard, but if you want to become the leader, you definitely need some brains, seeing that the situation has changed, Wu Yong did not hesitate at all, and even decided to take people first.

It's already close to the snake here, and people on the other side are joining one after another, indicating that it is very likely that last year's battle did not affect here, although I don't know what the reason is, but it is definitely not a wise move to continue to stay, it is better to go first.

The current situation is still somewhat certain, and it is not certain that it will drag on any longer.

Although they were preparing to retreat, Wu Yong's group also behaved quite well, Wu Yong still led a few guards to move forward slowly, while the few people who were not so strong and had experienced a long escape were the first to retreat into the forest.

The three of them originally belonged to the end of the strong crossbow, and if they retreated at the same time, it would be easy for Song Xuan and them to catch up again, and it would be very embarrassing to save or not to save them at that time.

Wu Yong's move still deceived Song Xuan and his party, at least no one immediately found out that Wu Yong wanted to escape, after all, Wu Yong was walking forward with people at this time, but fortunately, Shi Yu on the side found that something was wrong, not only the enemy's position was becoming more and more scattered, but the three people who were chasing at the beginning were also nowhere to be seen at this time, and in the surrounding forest, there was no superfluous movement at all.

As if sensing that the atmosphere was wrong, Wu Yong began to command the archer in the team to shoot arrows towards Song Xuan's side, but everyone had already dodged to the most advantageous position, and most of them hid behind trees, although they did not cause casualties to Teng Snake's side, but still made the few people in front dare not poke their heads out easily.

The other two archers in the team had the intention to fight back, but what Shi Yu told them before leaving was to protect the oracle, and they also knew the importance of the mission, and the two of them were also fortunate enough to consume the number of arrows on the opposite side, after all, there was only one archer among the enemy, and the number of arrows was naturally very limited, and when he finished shooting, the only long-range threat would no longer exist.

It's just that what makes everyone wonder is that there are not many bows and arrows, but the enemy doesn't seem to have thought about the battle behind them at all, and keeps suppressing the people with bows and arrows, of course, everyone is not completely without resistance, after all, there is only one archer, and the stones thrown by the other people are not a big threat.

But the weapons in everyone's hands are very limited, although they all brought a sling, and there were also a lot of projectiles, but when they encountered this group of enemies, everyone retreated to the forest, surrounded by branches, and the slings could not be extended, so they could only follow the example, pick up the stones around them or throw them directly with the projectiles in their pockets.

Except for a few people, most of them are a javelin, so naturally they can't be thrown easily, although the momentum of the two sides is not small, but it does not cause too many casualties, the black feather people have a beast skin shield, and most of the threatening attacks are blocked by them.

And Shi Yu, who was hiding on the side looking for an opportunity, finally saw the strategy on the other side, although he put on a posture to attack, but the enemy was getting farther and farther away, and at this time, most of them withdrew to the forest, sensing the enemy's thoughts, Shi Yu immediately reminded loudly:

"Divine Messenger, the enemy is leaving!"

Although the enemy at the front also sensed the weakening of the enemy's offensive and thought that it was difficult to find the stones, every time they wanted to probe for a while, the enemy flew in with an arrow, and in a short moment, they naturally did not see very clearly.

Song Xuan thought that there was a group of warriors who were not afraid of death on the opposite side, and now it seemed that everything just now was just a trick, but the enemy's bronze ore weapon was also really in his hand, just when Song Xuan was thinking about how to deal with it, Shi Meng's voice came from behind him:

"Oracle?! Oracle?! ”

Song Xuan was immediately overjoyed, with the addition of these people, the space that could be operated was much larger, but as he turned his head to look, he saw Shi Meng with a dozen or twenty mud monkey-like people running quickly from behind, seeing that he had just come out of the field.

The weapons in their hands are not commonly used, except for a few people with stone axes and javelins, most of them are even rakes and bone shovels, and they don't have much combat power at all Seeing this scene, Song Xuan's heart suddenly cooled by half, although the number of people was a little more, but it didn't seem to be much.

But watching this group of people slip away, it was really a little unwilling, and regardless of whether it was Shi Meng and the others who were chasing, Song Xuan said to the people around him:

"Let's go, catch up!"

"Shi Yu, you lead people to chase from both sides!"

"Whoosh~Whoosh~"

As soon as he ran out of the forest, two arrows flew in, although they did not hit anyone, but they also made everyone's footsteps stop, and the distance had been opened more than ten meters, and at this time, when the enemy stopped, he disappeared without a trace in an instant.

"Stop, I can't catch up!"

The enemy was already ready to flee, although the distance between the two sides was not so far away at this time, but this gap was enough to do many things, not to mention that Song Xuan and his party had been chasing for a long time, and they belonged to the end of the strong crossbow.

If you continue to chase it, you can't run far, and once the opposite side is ambushed in the forest, or even if it is just a few traps, it will cause certain casualties to the Teng snake, and it doesn't make much sense to continue chasing, but fortunately, a few people have been caught, but they haven't wiped out the opposite side.

Shi Meng also took advantage of this time to lead people to catch up, and when he saw Song Xuan and the others who had stopped, he asked with some puzzlement:

"Divine envoy, why don't you chase it?"

Although Shi Meng and they didn't carry enough weapons, but this was also to save people's hearts, Song Xuan naturally couldn't blame them for the loss, but after chasing for so long, he was stunned and let the enemy slip away, and he was still very unhappy in his heart, Song Xuan glanced at Shi Meng, and could only say:

"I can't run!"

Hearing Song Xuan's words, Shi Meng could only scratch his head in embarrassment, they had dug the ground all morning, and they had no extra strength, and in the end, because they heard the whistle for help, they thought that God was in trouble, so they broke out with the last strength to catch up, and at this time, it was also a little powerless to let them continue to run.

"What about those people?"

Someone in the team asked.

"There should be only a few of them, and it is estimated that they will not come again!"

If there were people in the back, they wouldn't have fled so hurriedly just now, and Song Xuan probably guessed that the six people he faced just now were most likely the guards of the legendary King Wu, and the team in front didn't seem to know the arrival of these people, there were not many people in the Wuyu tribe, and it was not very likely that the King of Wu sent them over to attack Teng Snake, but it was more like answering them.

Of course, what is the specific situation, I still have to go back and torture the captured people, if Wu Yu wants to do it to Teng Snake again, then these people should have come to explore the way, but Song Xuan felt that it was unlikely, if the story tried his best, the entire tribe would raid in the future, but there was a possibility of success, and repeated temptations like this would not be a good thing for them.

Touching his already empty belly, Song Xuan said to everyone:

"Let's go, let's go back!"

Anyway, most of the people are in the tribe at the same time, and there is no need to think too much about security, and the specific situation is asked later, and some targeted deployments can be made, so there is no need to worry too much about the few people who escaped.

When I came back, it was already close to lunch, and after running back and forth for nearly two hours, the crowd was already hungry and couldn't stand it, but fortunately, everyone "hidden" a small snack, most of them carried a stick or two of jerky in their clothes, just in case of emergency, and now it just played a role.

"Let's eat!"

handed one to Shi Meng, who was bare on his upper body, in order to dig the ground conveniently, they almost only wore a beast skin skirt, so naturally there was no place to "hide" food.

Although it was very dry, and there was no water, after all, he was already hungry to the extreme, Song Xuan devoured it, and even ate the jerky in his hand, but the kettle was also thrown down when he was preparing for a sneak attack, and he could only swallow the saliva that was no longer available at this time.
