The quality of the soldiers under Marquis Ning was indeed far beyond those of ordinary soldiers. From the time Wang Cheng fled with Doctor Zhang on his back, to now they were completely surrounded, it didn't even take a minute.
The gate of the Hou Mansion can already be seen, just a few hundred meters ahead. Normally it would be there very quickly, but at this moment it seems like there is a chasm between them.
Seeing that Wang Cheng was surrounded by hundreds of people, Pan Meng breathed a sigh of relief and ordered: "Capture him alive!"
The crossbowmen who had already bent their bows and set up arrows immediately stopped and replaced them with spears and other weapons.
Except for the top of his head, all roads were blocked, but Wang Cheng's speed did not slow down at all.
"kill!"
He shouted and rushed away.
One step, two steps... When he took the third step, his feet were already off the ground, and the spear in his hand stabbed the group of soldiers holding heavy shields in front of him.
When Pan Meng saw Wang Cheng using this trick, he immediately shouted: "Get away!"
She had seen Wang Cheng use this move in the misty forest. The power was comparable to a strike from a martial arts master, and it was definitely not something that these warriors with only the Qi and Blood Realm could block.
It was too late, but soon, Wang Cheng and the spear had become one, and it seemed that the spear was dragging him to fly.
In fact, this was also the case. After using the Wood King Spear Technique, he couldn't control the gun in his hand at all.
I saw a strong air current surging around the spear. It was the combination of strength and speed to form a strong wind, which was almost substantial.
"boom!!!"
It was like a bolt of lightning striking out in broad daylight on a clear day. The rows of heavy shield bearers blocking the front had no time to dodge, and they flew out with their shields and people.
More than a dozen rows of soldiers, nearly a hundred people, were shot to pieces before they could even react!
Wang Cheng fell more than ten meters away, and his energy could no longer be used for a short period of time, even if he was an ancient warrior with full energy and blood.
"brush!"
At this moment, a silver gun swept over from behind him.
Yes, it's not a chop or a stab, but a sweep!
Without thinking, Wang Cheng gathered his strength and turned around with the same sweep.
"Ding!!!"
The two spears struck together in an instant, and a powerful force acted on the spear in Wang Cheng's hand through the silver spear.
Wang Cheng suddenly felt a shock in his heart. The force from the spear was not strong, but like a trickle, continuous.
His feet lifted off the ground, and he flew forward more than ten meters. This time, he was once again some distance away from Pan Meng and others.
"puff!"
Tang Cheng spurted out, and the silver gun in his hand flew away. He also flew backwards, blocking the way of Pan Meng and others.
"Ding-deng-deng!"
After landing, his steps were unsteady and he kept retreating. By chance, he bumped into Pan Meng.
Pan Meng caught Tang Cheng and was about to burst into anger. But when he saw Tang Cheng's mouth full of blood, his anger subsided again and said, "Are you okay?"
Tang Cheng did not answer, and kept mumbling: "How could he be so strong? So strong?"
Pan Meng pushed the martial arts idiot away. At this time, he was still in a mood to compare with others.
"Stop him!"
The soldiers once again pursued and intercepted Wang Cheng, but after breaking through the encirclement just now, the southernmost area could no longer form a blockade against Wang Cheng.
At least the soldiers in the south couldn't do it in a short time, because Wang Cheng would not give them this chance.
He carried Divine Doctor Zhang on his back and went straight to the gate of the Hou Mansion. Although there were soldiers blocking him on the way, they were all small groups and could not substantially intercept him.
Pan Meng and others followed behind, but their speed was compared to Wang Cheng who had Xiaoyaoyou. Even though Wang Cheng carried more than 200 kilograms of weight on his body, they still couldn't keep up.
Seeing Wang Cheng getting closer and closer to the gate of the Hou Mansion, Pan Meng gritted his teeth and ordered: "Fire the arrow!"
Previously, because Wang Cheng was too close to them, the arrows would hurt their own people, and because Pan Meng wanted to capture him alive, now that he got the news of "shooting", the crossbowmen were already ready, aiming at Wang Cheng's back. Bowstring.
"call out!!!"
At this moment, nearly a thousand feather arrows were shot out, densely packed like a gust of wind and rain.
Although Wang Cheng did not look back, everything behind him could not escape his perception. With so many arrows coming, he would be hit no matter whether they were going up, left or right.
So he pounced forward without hesitation, and shot all the arrows from his back.
Pan Meng's eyes lit up and he finally forced him to lie down.
But before she could get happy, Wang Cheng kicked off his feet and ran out for more than ten meters. Then he touched the ground with his hands first, and then kicked off his feet again and ran out for another dozen meters.
This rushing posture is clearly that of a fierce tiger!
"Can it still be like this?" Pan Meng was in a rare daze.
Wang Cheng was on all fours, and his running speed was not much slower than running on two feet. The distance between him and Pan Meng and others became wider and wider.
Originally, it was only a few hundred meters away from the gate of the Hou Mansion, but in a short time, it shrank to less than a hundred meters.
"Separated shots!"
The middle-aged general quickly ordered that if Wang Cheng was allowed to run, he would really be able to escape from the Hou Mansion.
Therefore, the front rows of crossbowmen were half a meter away from the ground, the middle rows fired normally, and the back rows fired upwards.
Now, dozens of meters around the gate of the Hou Mansion were covered with arrows, and even if they had wings, they couldn't fly out.
Wang Cheng did not dodge anymore, and he had no ability to dodge. He turned around and turned his back to the door, so that the master was blocked behind him and he faced these arrows.
At this moment, the spear turned into a stick, spinning around him like a fan, airtight.
"Ding ding ding!"
The incoming feather arrows were continuously knocked away, but the arrows came one after another, seemingly endless.
There were densely packed feather arrows stuck near the gate. They were shot from above. Because the arrows were sharp and powerful, they penetrated even the bluestone tiles on the ground.
Only the three meters in front of Wang Cheng were still bare. He swung his spear and retreated.
He had used the first floor of Xiaoyaoyou to the extreme. Although he carried more than two hundred kilograms of weight on his body, it seemed as if there was nothing. With a light step, he had already moved several meters behind him.
Finally, when Pan Meng and others were still more than ten meters away from him, he retreated to the gate of Ninghou Mansion.
Several guards guarding the gate wanted to attack from behind. Two of them finally dared not come forward after their heads were broken by a swinging spear.
Wang Cheng successfully exited the mansion and disappeared in front of everyone.
After Pan Meng and others left the mansion, Wang Cheng had already rode a black horse to the west.
Why are there horses?
Was it prepared beforehand?
Pan Meng was startled for a moment, then secretly said, "No," and then ordered the middle-aged general to lead his men to catch up, while she returned to Ninghou Mansion.
A group of soldiers were in hot pursuit, but compared to the four-legged ones, the two-legged ones were ultimately inferior in speed.
What's more, the black horse Wang Cheng rides is not an ordinary horse, but a precious colt given to him by Ninghou himself. It can travel thousands of miles in a day, and one horse is worth a hundred gold.
If the middle-aged general catches up like this, they will soon be left unconscious.
He quickly asked his men to send orders to all the soldiers patrolling the city and the guards guarding the city. They must find ways to stop Wang Cheng and never let him leave the city.
As a sharp whistle sounded, a whistle soon sounded two hundred and fifty meters away, and then five hundred meters away...and then the whole west side of Tiandu Fucheng sounded this whistle.
Soldiers continued to gather in the streets and alleys toward the west of the city, and side roads and intersections were quickly blocked.
Wang Cheng rode his big black horse for only a mile, but the fork in the road ahead was blocked by two pairs of deer villages.
Both teams of soldiers had their bows and arrows strung. When they saw Wang Cheng appearing within a hundred meters, they immediately released their arrows.
Wang Cheng's speed did not slow down, he held a long spear to chop or block, and the incoming arrows were knocked away.
He could even easily block the arrows shot by the Qi and Blood Realm warriors in Ninghou Mansion, let alone these ordinary soldiers?
Seeing that he was about to approach the obstacle, Wang Cheng suddenly shouted loudly, and the two groups of soldiers were shocked and fainted on the spot.
He grabbed the reins and clamped his legs tightly around the big black horse. The big black horse carried him and Doctor Zhang across the deer village, which was more than one meter long.
However, this is only the first checkpoint. Such checkpoints are set up at every intersection leading to the west gate of Tiandu Fucheng.
The pedestrians, vendors, and beggars on the street quickly dispersed, and there was no one else except these soldiers.
After Wang Cheng broke through the second level, his speed slowed down because the blockade became more and more strict.
The first level just hurriedly set up two deer villages. The subsequent levels not only used deer villages, but also used horse guns and tripping ropes. The fourth level even used iron caltrops.
The cavalry is most afraid of encountering these things when rushing through the pass. If they are not careful, both men and horses will be killed.
Wang Cheng couldn't bear to part with the precious horse under his crotch, so he had to fight with the soldiers guarding the gate. In fact, it was more about choosing those gates to prevent them from hurting the big dark horse.
Originally, he had already put some distance between him and the Hou Mansion guards who were chasing behind him, but now he was pulled closer again.
Wang Cheng had to adjust. Every time he approached a checkpoint, he jumped off the horse, put the master on the horse alone, then cleared the checkpoint, and then let the big black horse pass.
This really saves a lot of time.
The middle-aged general saw that the distance between the two sides had been widened again, and he was so angry that he could not do anything about it. He could only hope that those responsible for guarding the west gate could stop him.
But he had no idea at all. How could the soldiers at the west city gate stop him without the martial arts master taking action?
Just as he thought, when Wang Cheng arrived at the west gate, he knocked down the soldiers guarding the gate in a few blows, then shot off the crossbar behind the gate and broke through the gate.
After leaving the city, Wang Cheng could finally relax a little, but he still didn't dare to relax and continued to gallop on his horse.
After galloping several hundred meters, he suddenly reined in his horse and stopped, carefully looking at his surroundings.
"A Cheng, why don't you leave?" Doctor Zhang lay on his back and said.
Wang Cheng asked in a deep voice: "Master, what time is it now?"
Doctor Zhang thought for a moment and said, "It's just after noon, so it should be at noon."
"Not yet?"
Wang Cheng looked solemn. He looked up into the sky. The sun should still be above his head at this time.
However, there was no sun in the sky at this moment, and there was no wind or cloud. It looked like the sun had already set, and it would be dark soon.
Suddenly, he remembered something...
