Chapter 1009: Racing with Pirates
He was very familiar with this sound and could judge the speed and distance of the arrow based on it.
It's not a very powerful movement.
Immediately afterwards, hundreds of arrows were shot into the air, drew an arc, and fell towards the cavalry team on the official road.
They were all very experienced warriors. When the bowstrings snapped, some of the cavalrymen on the official road screamed in surprise.
Following the shouts, many war riders began to grab the shields hanging on their saddles.
However, the arrows came so suddenly that there was no time to raise the shields. Many people and horses were hit by the arrows and jumped in fright.
The man who was shot by the arrow fell off his horse, and the horse that was shot by the arrow broke away from the team and ran into the field.
The troops on the official road were in chaos.
Then, the second wave of arrows flew into the sky.
The cavalrymen on the official road were not novices and quickly raised their shields to block in front of them.
A general shouted loudly, and the cavalry quickly formed a defensive formation. The carriages also began to circle in the fields, gradually forming a fortress-like defensive circle.
The Yan clan's seven heroes, who were hiding in the weeds and bushes, fired five rounds of arrows in succession, and were discovered by the enemy.
The pirate cavalry immediately launched an attack. At the shouts of their leader, teams of cavalry began to form attack formations and urged their horses to rush over here.
Yan Xiaobing shouted loudly: "Everyone, retreat while shooting, retreat slowly, let more pirates come over..."
Before he finished shouting, someone stood up and ran back.
Because the mountain road was difficult to walk on, the person running backwards could not shoot arrows at the same time, so they could only retreat.
It is impossible to achieve the combat intention of retreating and shooting at the same time.
When the pirates' horses reached about twenty steps, they could no longer move forward. If they wanted to continue the pursuit, they had to dismount and walk.
At this time, Yan Xiaobing stood up and backed away. After shooting an arrow, he turned around and waved.
"Let's go, it's time to go."
Ji Xueliang stood up and started running backwards.
Yan Xiaoding waved to Lin Feng, indicating that he should follow Ji Xueliang, while he followed Lin Feng and ran towards the designated route.
A large number of pirates jumped off their horses and started running to chase after them.
Although Lin Feng was following behind Ji Xueliang, he could judge the number of pirates from the footsteps behind him, which was about three or four hundred.
This action of attracting the enemy can be considered a success. It depends on whether we can hold the enemy back a little longer.
More than a hundred people scattered into the mountains and disappeared in an instant.
Ji Xueliang tried his best to slow down his pace and let Lin Feng and others behind him keep up with his pace. They turned left and right among the bushes and rocks and quickly approached the mountains.
Twenty or so steps behind him, the pirates' shouts seemed to ring next to his ears, and occasionally a feather arrow brushed past him.
When a feathered arrow flew past Lin Feng, he raised his hand to brush it away while running.
If the direction of the arrow was not changed, it would have hit Ji Xueliang's thigh in the next moment.
They ran fast, and the pirates were chasing them just as fast, and it seemed that the distance between them was gradually shortening.
Ji Xueliang became a little anxious and gradually quickened his pace.
Lin Feng also quickened his pace, trying to keep up with the pace of the person in front.
Yan Xiaoding and Yan Xiaobing followed behind Lin Feng, moving at an easy pace and occasionally turning around to shoot the pursuers with bows and arrows.
In this way, one chasing and one fleeing, hundreds of people hid in the mountains and rocks in a moment.
There were more than 400 pirates chasing after them, and they were divided into several teams, each chasing after them.
Except for Ji Xueliang's team, the other teams started early, so Yan Xiaobing and others were the last to finish.
The pursuers chasing the four of them were the most numerous, shouting, jumping up and down, and running very fast.
Nearly a hundred people spread out their formation and began to move towards the middle.
Yan Xiaobing ran at the back, shouting loudly.
"Laoji, hurry up, there's someone biting me from behind."
Ji Xueliang didn't say anything, but just quickened his pace. In the blink of an eye, he ran far away, making Lin Feng almost lose track of him.
Yan Xiaoding stepped forward quickly, grabbed Lin Feng's arm, and ran forward with him.
Lin Feng originally wanted to say no, but he suppressed his anger and let her pull him and run.
Lin Feng’s principle is that he will not take the initiative to hurt others unless others do something to him.
In his current situation, he could only run as fast as he could to avoid the pirates' pursuit in front of Yan Xiaoding and others.
He can't run fast enough to let others notice the problem.
After an unknown amount of time, Lin Feng and others heard the sound of weapons clashing and screams.
It was obvious that someone was caught up by pirates and attacked.
I don't know who was killed.
It is most likely that they are our own people. There are many pirates, and once they are caught up, it is unlikely that they will fight back and kill the pirates.
They no longer cared about others and just kept running, constantly worrying about arrows flying behind them.
Ji Xueliang led the three of them, running faster and faster. As the terrain of the mountain changed, the slope became steeper and steeper, and Yan Xiaoding began to breathe heavily.
Lin Feng could only follow suit, panting heavily and slowing down his pace.
Yan Xiaoding grabbed Lin Feng's hand and began to become weak.
In the end, he had no choice but to let go of Lin Feng and ran forward gasping for breath.
The pirates behind him were very tenacious, and there were many footsteps nearby, chasing very close.
This was when Yan Xiaobing turned around and shot while running, knocking down two pirates and slightly slowing down their speed.
Otherwise, he would have been caught up by the pirates by now.
Yan Xiaoding also turned around and started to fight back. Her bow and arrow shooting was quite accurate, but her physical strength could not keep up. While running, she lost the threat to the pirates.
They wandered around and entered the deep mountains and forests. The terrain was very complicated. Ji Xueliang slowed down and tried his best to let the people behind him catch up.
The pirates chasing behind were gradually left behind in this complex mountain forest.
Yan Xiaobing, who was running at the end, finally breathed a sigh of relief.
While running, Yan Xiaoding suddenly found that Lin Feng was holding one of his arms. With the help of this hand, he could barely keep up with Ji Xueliang's speed.
She glanced at Lin Feng, and a blush appeared on her pretty face, which was covered in sweat.
She was originally regretting that she shouldn't have brought Lin Feng here, as he was holding them back.
Who knew that I was the one holding myself back?
Even though my lungs were burning, my legs and feet were weak, and I was seeing stars.
However, they still did not dare to stop. They had to completely shake off the pirates' pursuit before they could rest, otherwise the pirates would soon catch up with them.
Finally, Lin Feng pulled Yan Xiaoding, and when they turned a mountain pass, they saw Ji Xueliang sitting under a cliff.
The four of them gathered together, each breathing heavily.
Yan Xiaobing turned around and looked behind him. When he heard nothing, he sat down as well.
Yan Xiaoding leaned softly against a tree and fell down under it.
But Lin Feng was still standing there. In his ears, he could hear footsteps and the sound of something passing through the forest plants about forty or fifty steps away from them, and it was still approaching this direction quickly.
This shows that they have not shaken off the pirates. According to the traces they left, the pirates will soon catch up with them.
Lin Feng turned to look at Ji Xueliang.
"Laoji, you're not running away anymore?"
