After coming out of Yushi, more than half of the cavalry team was reduced, leaving more than a hundred people, of which more than ten were the guards of the Black Flag Camp brought by Shen Hao.
It was rare that Chen Zifang did not continue to look for words to talk to Shen Hao. He was riding on the horse and kept writing something in a small notebook with a pen, his expression serious.
Shen Hao was also happy to have his ears quiet, waving his fan, sitting on his horse and enjoying the cool breeze after the sun turned west.
Starting from Yushi, the weather gets even hotter, but as long as the sun goes down, the small bodies of water around us can still cool us down, and the cool breeze will not make us feel sad at night. This is actually much better than Fengli City.
As before, the cavalry was still relatively tight, and there were still a lot of sentinels released, and the overall speed was slightly improved than before.
Shen Hao calculated the time in his mind, secretly thinking that he should be arriving at the central military camp soon, right?
Just as I was thinking about it, suddenly a sudden bright light ignited on the sunset-covered sky in front of me. It flashed four or five times in a row, and its color gradually changed from dazzling white to black and red. It stayed in the sky for more than ten breaths. Just dissipated.
This is...a recruiting talisman in the military!
Was the outpost in front attacked? !
"Woooooooo..." The rapid sound of the horn tore through the calm of the cavalry, and everyone who was originally on high alert immediately subconsciously clenched the weapons in their hands. Even Shen Hao is no exception.
"Send a signal to recall the sentries in other directions! Everyone spreads out into a wild goose spine formation! Put away the spears and cock the crossbows! Start jogging towards the northwest! Move quickly!"
Captain Xu was an old man in the border army. He hunted outside Zhuohuo Pass all year round and had rich experience in actual combat. He issued several orders as soon as he saw the recruiting talisman in the sky. First, take back the scattered manpower, firstly, to reduce possible losses that may continue to occur, and secondly, to concentrate our efforts.
Run northwest because the direction where the signing symbol lights up is directly ahead, which is the direction of the central military camp. This shows that the central military stronghold is most likely fighting with the barbarians at this time. If it approaches, it is very likely that instead of receiving reinforcements, it will be surrounded by the barbarians. Besides, the sentinel had already come to warn him, so he still had to avoid being subtle.
The northwest side is the exterior of the upper military stronghold. Run there first. If there is any big change, it will be convenient to retreat to the upper military stronghold.
As for hard hitting? Not only did the captain of the cavalry team named Xu not think about it, but everyone in the cavalry team did not have this idea, including Shen Hao.
Crazy, just a hundred or so people are going head-to-head with the barbarians in the wild. Unless these hundreds of people are all monks in the lower realm of the God-Gathering Realm or the Yuandan Realm, that's about the same. Otherwise, it would be more appropriate to run away.
But just as the rest of the cavalry dispersed, a sign-up talisman shot up into the sky from the northwest, and it seemed to be closer than the one directly in front of them!
Before Captain Xu could make any further adjustments, he could already see three knights running back from afar from the sentry scouts in the northwest.
Therefore, the captain named Xu did not change the marching direction, but accelerated towards the three cavalry sentries.
"Report! Wolf cavalry was found in the northwest! There are more than two hundred in number!"
Wolf Cavalry! The expression on Captain Xu's face showed nothing about his thoughts. After pondering for a moment, he waved his hand and ordered the flag soldiers: "Continue to move northwest. Slowly increase the speed, but not more than halfway. Let everyone be ready to change direction at any time."
This series of commands all fell in Shen Hao's ears. Although he could not understand them all, he understood about sixty or seven points. But the problem is that he has no confidence in his riding skills! It has been ten years since he came to this world, and his horse riding has always been at the stage of "being able to ride and run". He is worried that something will happen if he cannot keep up with the movements of the riding team when he starts running.
"Master Shen, how are your body skills?" Chen Zifang, who was beside him, asked Shen Hao urgently while riding his horse to follow.
"Well enough."
"Then if the cavalry changes formation too frequently later, you can just find a soldier and step on it, are you sure?"
Shen Hao originally thought of jumping off the horse and relying on his legs to keep up with the cavalry, but after hearing what Chen Zifang said, he thought about it and felt that this method was more suitable.
"What about you, Alchemist Chen?"
"Haha, I've been in the army all year round, and my riding skills are pretty good. I won't be much worse than these soldiers, and I can keep up. Also, where are your personal guards? Can you do that?"
Shen Hao nodded. The guards brought out this time all have military qualifications and have been practicing their riding skills. There is no big problem.
In just a few words, a rapidly enlarging "black line" jumped out from behind the horizon, approaching quickly along with a faint and increasingly clear roar.
With Shen Hao's current eyesight, he could see that the "black line" was the group of wolf cavalry that the sentinel discovered.
Although this place is flatter than the area around the Yushi Soldier Station before, there are still a lot of gravels the size of human heads on the ground. It is not easy for the cavalry to run here, and the speed should not be too fast. Otherwise, if the horse fails to step firmly and kicks the stone, both the horse and the horse will be killed. fate. This is also the main reason why Shen Hao has little confidence in his riding skills.
"Clang!"
Shen Hao pulled out the Yanji Dao from his waist, and the guards behind him did the same. They did not equip the cavalry with sabers that were more suitable for high-speed dragging and slashing. The wild goose spine saber was not that easy to use in horse battles. But I can’t care about that much at this time.
Turning his head and looking at Chen Zifang beside him, Shen Hao was a little surprised. He didn't expect that Chen Zifang, a gentle-looking alchemist, could still be full of murderous aura. Chen Zifang even took out a long one from his storage bag. The sharp saber is obviously an old man.
However, only the people around Shen Hao drew their swords. The people in the cavalry followed the order of the captain named Xu. Their sabers and spears were not moved, and they continued to hang on the sides of the horses. They held the strung crossbows in their hands and relied on their legs. He controlled the horse with great strength and stared straight ahead.
"Command the flag! After five breaths, turn to the southeast! Reduce the speed by 10%, adjust the formation to maintain the geese spine! Keep following the enemy until the distance is 200 steps!"
Five breaths is enough for the running cavalry to run a long way, and the speed is not too slow now. Most people don't have such riding skills when turning quickly and in such road conditions. Shen Hao didn't hold on hard, he jumped up from his horse as soon as he lifted his body, and landed behind the horse's butt of a bodyguard beside him. He relied on his true energy to stand firmly, and used the strong wind of running to escape. He gave himself a hand so that his full weight would not press down on the horse below and affect the control of the horse's guards.
Standing on the horse, his line of sight suddenly became wider, and Shen Hao could clearly tell that the oncoming wolf rider in front was approaching about 500 steps!
"change!"
As soon as the fifth breath came, more than a hundred people in the entire cavalry turned to the southeast, drawing a huge arc and turning. During this period, the distance between the two sides had shortened to about 300 steps!
