Chapter 236 - 236: 156: Interception Outside the City_3

However, at the moment, Qiao Xiuyuan and his companions were trying to escape, so they didn’t attempt to break through the army formation directly. Instead, they ran around the city walls, cutting diagonally across the edge of the formation.

Seeing this, Colonel Du Rong, who was in charge of the North City Army, was naturally anxious.

He had received strict orders from his master not to let even one bandit escape, or else those breaking military orders would be punished.

At this point, seeing that these people were about to flee, Du Rong felt his life was in danger.

Under tremendous pressure, he gritted his teeth and ordered, “Disperse the army formation and pursue the enemy as scattered soldiers.”

With this said, Du Rong led a cavalry of over a hundred men, chasing the escapers who were about to leave the battlefield.

While pursuing, he and several skilled archers in the cavalry harassed the fleeing Seven Star Sect bandits by shooting arrows at them.

From time to time, a few cold arrows were shot, which significantly affected the escape speed of the Seven Star Sect members. This forced them to divert their attention to the rear to dodge the incoming arrows.

Meanwhile, the other knights caught up with the bandits, quickly surrounding them.

“Kill!

Without saying anything, they began to fight as soon as they encountered each other.

Leading two of his followers, Du Rong thrust a long spear towards an elder of the Seven Star Sect who was charging towards them. His followers took up their horse-cutting sabers and joined the attack from both sides.

This was a popular combined attack method used by soldiers. Very few enemies could evade this technique.

However, this was just the usual situation.

The person across from him was an elder of the Seven Star Sect, a Jianghu man who excelled in small-scale technical combat.

As the fast horse dashed forward, the elder of the Seven Star Sect faced the incoming cavalry lance, patted the horse’s back, and leaped into the air. He managed to dodge the lance stab.

Then, he drew two short swords from his waist, and in the blink of an eye, two white shadows flashed by. Two knights who were raising their horse-cutting sabers to strike had their arms severed and screamed as they fell off their horses.

Having dealt with two knights in just his gestures, the elder clapped his hands together, trapping the cavalry lance between his two short swords, sliding them forward and crossed like scissors, aiming at Du Rong’s neck.

All of this happened in an instant.

Before Du Rong could even react, his two followers had already died under the elder’s sword. Seeing the killing move charging towards him, he was frightened to the point that his hairs stood on end.

He didn’t dare to face it head-on.

With a push of his hand, the cavalry lance swung downward, deflecting the two short swords slightly. Taking advantage of the rebounding force, he quickly shifted his body to the side of the horse, narrowly avoiding the Seven Star Sect elder.

The horse galloped forward, and Du Rong rose from the horse’s belly before turning his head to look back.

He noticed that only about fifty of the over one hundred knights who had followed him remained.

More than half of them had been lost in just one encounter.

Seeing such a scene, Du Rong’s heart trembled with fear.

Having experienced the previous dangerous encounter, Du Rong knew the gap between him as a third-rate martial artist and those second-rate high-level experts.

He dared not lead an attack again but was also unable to let them go. Helplessly, he continued to lead the remaining knights, using horse archery to keep their distance and delay the enemy’s escape speed.

Fortunately, some infantry formations had also arrived after the earlier harassment.

Those Seven Star Sect experts, who had just finished engaging the soldiers and cavalry, were now entangled with a group of infantry and found themselves surrounded.

However, there were too few soldiers who joined the encirclement, just over a hundred.

Facing the impact of eight Jianghu experts, many soldiers fell in just a short moment, much like the previous knights.

The remaining soldiers were scared by their deaths and injuries, and retreated to both sides.

In fact, given enough time, with their strength, Qiao Xiuyuan and the others could slowly grind down the thousand-strong army and kill everyone.

However, now they were busy running for their lives and trying to escape, so they didn’t have time to play with these soldiers. All they could think about was getting away quickly.

So, after breaking through the interception, they continued to run outwards without lingering.

But after the previous two blockades, there were even more soldiers pursuing them.

Remembering the previous lessons, these soldiers didn’t dare to get too close.

However, Lu Yuan’s army had one characteristic: there were many people who could shoot quickly, and most of them were also equipped with bows.

At this point, these soldiers picked up their bows and arrows and aimed at several Seven Star Sect experts, releasing a torrent of arrows.

Meanwhile, Du Rong and the others also tried their best to cooperate, sending a few isolated arrows now and then, doing their best to block the Seven Star Sect experts.

Being threatened by so many haphazard arrows, Qiao Xiuyuan and the others dared not be careless. They were forced to dodge and block the arrows actively, which further slowed their escape speed.

Unconsciously, when they reached the edge of the battlefield and were about to leave, a small moment had already passed.

The open official road lay ahead. As long as they kept moving forward, they would leave Fu City of Luyang, and the vast world would be open to them. “There’s the way out ahead. Let’s hurry and charge!”

Qiao Xiuyuan looked at the wide road ahead, his face showing a hint of joy.

But just then.

Suddenly, a gust of wind came from the side, and a surge of danger emerged in his heart, making him instinctively dodge.

When he turned around, he saw a black figure attacking two elders beside him.

As theweapons that the two elders instinctively stabbed at the figure, they were instantly melted and shattered by a red light, and a heat wave made him close his eyes unconsciously.

By the time he opened them, the two elders had fallen off their horses. Their bodies laid on the ground, their fates unknown.

This sudden scene startled the members of the Seven Star Sect, and they quickly reined in their horses and dodged to the side.

At this moment, the black figure also turned around, and they saw, to their surprise, that it was a mighty general clad in black armor.

Seeing this scene, the members of the Seven Star Sect felt a chill in their hearts.

They knew that it would be difficult to escape today..
