Pursuit
A group of ordinary people who only know how to go on a rampage are no different from sending them to their deaths against the elite dragoons.
The distance of tens of meters between the two sides seemed to become an invisible high wall.
The people who rushed up were like the wild beasts in the mountains, and they were shot to the ground by arrows.
There were also a number of excellent marksmen among the wingmen, who stood in the rear of the wingman army and fought back against the dragoons.
However, the bows and arrows in their hands were all ordinary hunting bows made by themselves, and they were not at all the same as the war bows in the hands of the dragoons.
In addition, the soldiers of the dragoon army all had shields and tight armor protection.
It was impossible for those arrows to penetrate the warriors' defenses.
The louder the cave masters in the other party's leading cave screams, the faster they will die.
Su Lie and the others are like snipers on the battlefield, specifically targeting them as the leading figures.
Tan Dian once again narrowly dodged an arrow shot at the door in front of him.
At this time, he was obviously a little frightened.
He is one of the few leaders with armor.
Aside from him, only a few members of the Chen family possessed armor.
However, now, the juniors of the Chen family who have armor have all been shot and fallen to the ground.
Only he and Chen Longshu were still barely supporting.
The battle had only just begun, and they had already lost more than a dozen cave masters and leading generals.
This made Tan Dian have to quickly change his strategy.
As he parried the arrows, he shouted, "Hurry up and retreat to the nearby mountains and forests, and don't fight the enemy here." ”
After shouting this, he first retreated into the jungle not far away, and did not forget to pull Chen Longshu beside him when he left.
When the people heard Tan Dian's shout, they immediately turned around in a panic and ran towards the jungle.
actually exposed his back directly in front of the dragoons.
This time, the dragoon soldiers had no scruples, and they quickly pulled the bows and arrows in their hands.
The arrows in his hand were overwhelmingly shot at the other party.
They formed a tight formation, following closely behind the wingmen, and followed the jungle as well.
Towering trees and dense weeds give the wingmen good protection.
This made their losses drop a lot.
However, by this point, most of the wingmen were already afraid.
They no longer have the same impulse to die as they did at the beginning.
From time to time, someone around would let out a scream after being hit by an arrow.
The sound was particularly poignant and terrifying in this slightly dark jungle.
Many people have gone limp, which is their normal reaction to seeing bleeding and death.
Tan Dian's mouth didn't dare to make too loud noise.
He was running towards the depths of the jungle at the moment, conveying his instructions to the people around him.
After receiving Tan Dian's order, these people immediately ran to convey the order to the other cave masters and generals.
The purpose of the temple is very simple, that is, to lead people to the mountains connected to this jungle as soon as possible.
Use their familiarity with the terrain and the physical fitness they have cultivated all year round to deal with the Tang army.
However, Su Lie didn't care about this, because the soldiers of the Dragoon Army were already familiar with the way of fighting in the mountains and jungles.
The warriors of the Dragoons had spread out as much as they could, and at intervals a team of three would be in charge of searching.
During the pursuit, the formation of the dragoons always remained in a straight line.
They are like driving a flock of sheep, forcing the wingmen to keep retreating.
Behind the dragoons were the soldiers of the city of Guangzhou.
Their mission is very simple: to help the Dragoons clean up the dead and wounded left on the battlefield.
In fact, there were not many people who were shot outside before.
With the exception of a few unlucky ones who were shot in the vital position, most of the wingmen were only seriously injured.
But when you get to the jungle, things are different.
Due to the weeds and trees, the soldiers of the Dragoon had to slow down the speed of their archery in order to avoid wasting arrows.
As a result, more people died.
The screams that rang out from time to time in the jungle severely undermined the morale of the wingmen.
Many timid people began to quietly break away from the wingman army.
Some of them lurked in the grass below the ravines, and some simply climbed the big trees.
But all this is in vain.
Under the observation of the telescope, the small movements of these people could not hide the eyes of the dragoon warriors at all.
However, this behavior allowed them to save their lives.
The dragoon warriors didn't bother too much when they found them, but handed them over to the soldiers who followed them.
When the main force of the wingmen retreated into the mountains, Tan Dian and the others were already exhausted and out of breath.
The sweltering heat of the jungle and the rapid heartbeat due to nervousness make their stamina depleted particularly fast.
However, even so, they did not dare to stop for a moment.
For until this time the dragoons were still closely following them.
The screaming along the way never stopped, which made the spirit of many wingmen on the verge of collapse.
Tan Dian was really a little scared at this time.
He didn't expect the Dragoons to be able to keep up with them so easily in the jungle.
Even though they had now begun to enter the mountains, the dragoons did not show any discomfort in the slightest.
So he gritted his teeth and led his men to continue running, his only hope at this time was to get out of the sight of the dragoons before dark.
If he can do it, then he will immediately spread the manpower.
A small number of people were left behind to fight the dragoons in the mountains.
The rest of the people will run out of the mountains and forests from other directions to Duanzhou and other places to rob and destroy.
Tan Dian thought very clearly, there were not many imperial troops in the entire Lingnan.
As long as you don't fight the imperial court, you can contain these armies by harassing them.
At that time, the court will not be able to take advantage, and will definitely be forced to compromise with itself as before.
However, he was soon shocked by the constant reports from his subordinates.
The army he was facing seemed to be completely different from the previous imperial armies.
After these people entered the mountain, not only were they not pulled away, but they pursued faster and faster.
At this time, the dragoons had already shed their heavy armor.
After they changed into a suit of equipment suitable for mountaineering, they surpassed the wingmen in speed.
The bows and arrows in the hands of the dragoons have also been replaced by small repeaters.
Although the range of these bolts is not far, the speed at which they are fired is greatly increased.
The most disadvantageous thing for the wingmen is that there are not many places to climb in the mountains.
Before getting rid of the dragoons, they could only be forced to gather together.
This makes it easier for the Dragoons to attack.
At the same time, their casualties have been increasing rapidly.
By the time it got dark, they finally found that they had no chance to get rid of the dragoons behind them.
