Tianni Xuandian

Chapter 181 tug of war

Nangong Lie finally rushed out of the West City with a group of soldiers, retreating towards Red Moon City.

When Marshal Feng saw the signal flare, he guessed Nangong Lie's intentions in an instant. He personally led an army of [-] troops, joined Gongsun Leng's troops, and chased after Nangong Lie.

Nangong Lie fled all the way with his troops. In the blink of an eye, he had already run for more than [-] miles, but the pursuers of the White Tiger Empire were rapidly narrowing the distance between the two sides.

It's all because, among the 20 people pursued by the White Tiger Army, [-] are pure cavalry, and they have already separated from the infantry and directly pursued them.

Marshal Feng is obviously full of confidence in his own cavalry in such a lone pursuit, otherwise, with his prudence, he would not be so entrusted.

Nangong Lie frowned, commanding the soldiers to retreat while looking around at the terrain.

Between the two cities, he deployed an army of 40, just to prevent the opponent from chasing troops when retreating.

And Marshal Feng obviously expected this, and when he was more than 200 feet away from the opponent's troops, his speed slowed down, waiting for his own troops while stalking from a distance.

Seeing this, Nangong Lie couldn't help but frowned and said: "Old fox, you are really scheming!"

If the cavalry pursues with all their strength, perhaps the horse-tripping rope can still have an unexpected effect, but now that the cavalry has slowed down, then the 40 ambush troops will not have much effect in the face of the heavily armored cavalry.

Thinking of this, Nangong Lie's heart moved immediately, and he ordered a few words to a cavalry general beside him, and the cavalry immediately ran away with whips and whips!

"It should be here!" After walking for more than ten miles, the opponent's [-] infantry had slowly followed up. Nangong Lie glanced around, and then said.

"After going forward for another three hundred feet, turn around and set up the formation. The sharpshooters are ready, and they shoot their eyes. All the infantry cover the sharpshooters!" Nangong Lie's order was quickly conveyed among the troops!

Three hundred feet was reached very quickly, and the soldiers of the Dragon Empire, who had secretly organized their formation, quickly gathered together.

Nearly [-] sharpshooters bent their bows and set up their arrows one after another, aiming at the pursuers by the faint moonlight.

"Release—" The chasing soldiers finally reached within range, Nangong Lie decisively gave the order to release the arrows without the slightest hesitation.

At that time, the arrows were like locusts, and the sky was filled with arrow rain, like a huge black light band, covering the direction of the White Tiger Army cavalry!

"Puchi!" The rain of arrows scattered down, even though the White Tiger Army was wearing heavy armor, they still had exposed positions after all. Under the fine arrows, many soldiers were injured one after another, especially the cavalry who rushed to the front. Fortunately, the eyes of the horses were shot one after another.

The war horse screamed, and many soldiers were immediately thrown off their horses.

"How courageous—" Marshal Feng yelled loudly, and said, "Get off the horse and raise the shield to protect the horse, and the archer shoots back!"

With the defense of the shield, Nangong Lie's arrows were finally blocked. At the same time, some archers among the cavalry also bent their bows and set arrows, and shot at the soldiers of the Dragon Empire!

The equipment of the soldiers of the Dragon Empire was not as good as that of the opponent, and the shields were also some small round shields. Many soldiers were lost under this round of arrow rain.

The corner of Nangong Lie's mouth twitched slightly, and said, "Hold on!"

Those soldiers immediately raised their shields silently, and some even lifted up the corpses of their comrades-in-arms. They were not cold-blooded, they wanted to save their useful bodies to avenge their dead brothers.

"Advance slowly!" Marshal Feng issued another order, and the soldiers of the White Tiger Army raised their shields and slowly advanced towards Nangong Lie's position!

Nangong Lie clung on tightly, and looked behind the opponent's camp. Finally, the opponent's [-] infantry also followed, and the distance from the [-] cavalry was only a hundred feet away.

"At this time, let me, Nangong Lie, present you a big gift!" Nangong Lie finally smiled, and immediately, a green flare rose into the sky.

"What's that?" Gongsun Leng saw the rising signal flare, his heart tightened, and he asked naturally.

At this moment, among the bushes and grass on both sides, a series of black shadows flew over immediately, and they were indeed ropes.

These ropes were originally used to deal with the cavalry's tripping ropes, but the cavalry's speed was too slow, and the tripping ropes were not used.

One end of the rope was tied with a net used for catching animals. After being thrown by those well-trained soldiers of the Dragon Empire, the nets accurately caught the heads of some White Tiger Army soldiers.

Immediately, the soldiers in the quilt suddenly felt a strong force coming, and their bodies fell down uncontrollably, being dragged and slid towards the grass on both sides.

"There's an ambush!" Gongsun Leng immediately shuddered, and cut off the two ropes around him with his saber energy.

However, the opponent had ambushed an army of 40 troops, more than four times his strength. At the same time, his own soldiers participated in the siege battle and ran for more than 30 miles in one breath, which naturally consumed a lot of physical strength.

Nearly five or six thousand soldiers were dragged directly into the grass, and miserable cries came out immediately.

"Back to back, defend!" Gongsun Leng ordered immediately.

At that moment, the rest of the fighters leaned back against each other, guarding against the ropes on both sides.

Suddenly, there was a dull sound, and in the grass, countless tree trunks with the thickness of a bowl flew straight over, and one end of the trunk was cut into a sharp point.

The White Tiger Army was well equipped, and ordinary bows, arrows and swords could hardly harm them, but these sharp logs were different, these sharp logs were thrown by dozens of fighters together.

The momentum was heavy, and the White Tiger soldier who was hit by the sharp wood immediately fell on his back, and there was a sharp pain in his chest.

Among the one hundred thousand white tiger army, because of the throwing of this batch of sharp logs, they fell into chaos.

Immediately, countless arrows shot out from the bushes. At such a close range, the soldiers' aim was naturally lacking, and many soldiers of the White Tiger Army were killed by the arrows.

At the same time, Marshal Feng in front also noticed the tragedy behind, and a trace of inconceivable shock flashed in his eyes. He never thought that Nangong Lie would arrange so many killing situations in such an emergency.

If he didn't return to help, the [-] infantry might be annihilated at any time, so he immediately gritted his teeth and said fiercely: "Get on the horse, cover the infantry, and retreat!"

The impact of the cavalry was quite impressive. These cavalry soldiers wrapped in heavy armor charged towards the bushes on both sides one after another. At this moment, those arrows stopped instantly. Of course, the 40 army could not be stupid enough to fight against them. The cavalry fought recklessly.

After leaving more than 4 corpses of the opponent, Marshal Feng finally escaped with the remaining troops!

Looking at the back of the other party fleeing, Nangong Lie couldn't help sighing secretly, and said to himself: "Oh, I finally missed a trick. If I set a tripping rope in the bushes, maybe I can kill a lot of cavalry!"

But now it has achieved great results. After successfully getting rid of the pursuers, Nangong Lie did not dare to neglect, and immediately led a group of soldiers to retreat towards Red Moon City.

"I don't know what's going on with Principal Gongyang?" At the moment of entering Red Moon City, Nangong Lie secretly thought that facing three peerless masters, even Gongyang Xiaoxiu was very dangerous.

Just as he was thinking about it, a figure fell beside him in a state of embarrassment, panting and patted his chest, and said, "Damn, luckily I escaped quickly, otherwise I would be caught by these three bastards. die!"

"Principal Gongyang!" Nan Gonglie frowned and said happily, "How are you? Are you injured?"

Gongyang Xiao said with a smile: "Although I can't do anything to them, they can't stop me if I want to escape. Hurry up and let the old man rest for a while, otherwise I really can't hold on!"

After Nangong Lie retreated to Red Moon City, he rested for a few days, and the spies were released. Surprisingly, the White Tiger Empire did not take advantage of the victory to attack Red Moon City this time.

Instead, they temporarily settled down in Xiaoyue City, which made Nangong Lie heave a sigh of relief. He also took this opportunity to rest the wounded, and at the same time deployed a series of preventive measures.
