Chapter 206: Chase
They were not kept waiting for too long, and the hyena man should have discovered their existence.
When he saw that the situation was not good, he immediately turned around and ran away.
Seeing this, Zhou Chongshan stretched out his arms, quickly opened his bow, and hit the opponent's shoulder with an arrow, then he rode up in pursuit without stopping for a moment.
Zhou Xu also hurriedly followed.
During this process, Zhou Chongshan showed his proficiency as a bow and horse, riding and shooting all the way, relying on the range of the animal horn bow, controlling the speed of his mount and constantly firing the bow, causing damage to the fleeing hyena man.
It's not that he couldn't catch up, but he didn't catch up on purpose.
Leaving aside endurance and explosive power, hyenas are not much faster than humans. They cannot escape against four-legged horses.
Zhou Chongshan naturally wanted to use his advantage and wear down his opponent.
If you can kill it with one arrow, that would be even better.
Zhou Xu obviously couldn't do such a riding and shooting operation.
Mounted archery is a difficult skill. Not to mention someone like him who doesn’t have much time to train all day long. Even those soldiers who train every day can’t even get the skill of riding and archery at this moment. Take action.
Hyena people are not low in IQ. At the same time, they also hunt down prey on this grassland. How can they not understand the routine?
Rapid howls kept coming from his mouth, as if he was calling his tribe.
However, at this moment, in order to save their own lives, those hyena people dispersed one after another, and ran away one by one. How could there be any spare power to take care of this place?
The hyena man may have realized this problem. After calling for help several times to no avail, his face quickly became ferocious.
In other seasons, I could hide in the lush grass to cover my whereabouts, but now at a glance, there is only snow around! Where else can you hide?
With his thoughts flying, he fled in front. The hyena man, who had already been hit by several arrows, bent down, picked up a large handful of snow, and threw it behind him.
The purpose is to scare their mounts and create life for themselves.
But for Zhou Xu, who had a relatively complete idea of cavalry development from the beginning, what does this small means mean?
The horses they tame will be equipped with earplugs and eye masks, and then undergo special training in order to limit the horses' own senses so that they can completely trust the rider's command!
At this moment, facing the falling snow, Zhou Chongshan did not panic at all. While controlling his mount to evade, the weapon in his hand quickly switched to a crescent halberd to sweep continuously, easily neutralizing the threat.
During this period, Zhou Xu saw the opportunity and took action at the right time.
【Speed enhancement! 】
Compared with the enhancement with clear direction, although the improvement of pure 'speed enhancement' is limited, it is still there for the time being.
With the blessing of the power of Zhou Xu's mantra, Zhou Zhongshan, who had already started to accelerate at that time, suddenly became even faster with one man and one horse.
Feeling the rapid approach of the enemy behind him, the hyena man became furious and turned around to counterattack!
It can be said that Zhou Chongshan was mentally prepared for this counterattack.
After all, at this point, the other party has no other options. The only option left is to fight to the death.
At this moment, Zhou Chongshan was charging fiercely with his horse, and the hyena man jumped up, trying to knock it off the horse.
But Zhou Chongshan didn't panic at all. In his opinion, this swooping action was simply stupid.
Without saying anything, he directly picked up the crescent halberd in his hand, and with the momentum of a galloping horse, he stabbed towards the hyena man.
The hyena man obviously did not expect that Zhou Chongshan's reaction would be so quick.
At the critical moment of life and death, the flying hyena man twisted his body in the air, trying to avoid the fatal wound.
I never thought that Zhou Chongshan would be able to adjust the trajectory of the attack halfway through the attack. With a sharp flick of his wrist, the attack trajectory of the crescent halberd was immediately corrected. In the midst of the lightning and flint, the cold light reflected by the snowy crescent halberd penetrated the hyena man's chest on the spot!
But then, the heavy weight coming from the halberd made Zhou Chongshan suddenly change his expression.
This hyena man has a huge frame and a burly body. Even when he is skinny and skinny, he weighs over two hundred and fifty kilograms.
Zhou Chongshan is not known for his strength. It is not an ordinary difficulty to hold a crescent halberd with one hand and pick up a hyena man weighing more than 200 kilograms.
At that moment, Zhou Chongshan clearly felt that his entire body balance had been destroyed.
Before he could throw the horse, he quickly clamped his legs around the horse's belly to stabilize his body, and at the same time used his arms to try to forcefully pull out the crescent halberd.
However, at this moment, the extremely flexible crescent blade used by Zhou Zhongshan in the battle has now become the biggest obstacle to him pulling out the crescent halberd!
This situation made Zhou Chongshan frown, and then he made a decisive decision and gave up directly, throwing the crescent halberd out. This way he successfully avoided the end of falling off his horse.
After taking a long breath, Zhou Zhongshan, who was riding on horseback, couldn't help but wave his hands.
Then he quickly pulled the reins, signaling the mount to slow down, and turned around to go back.
During this period, Zhou Xu, who was following behind, slowed down after seeing the hyena man penetrated by Zhou Chongshan's crescent halberd.
Now the hyena man is lying on his back in the snow. Zhou Chongshan's crescent halberd is inserted into the opponent's chest. It seems that he has been killed with one blow.
Actually, from Zhou Xu's point of view, Zhou Chongshan's shot was actually inserted crookedly. The impact point was in the middle of the hyena man's chest, but his heart was on the left side!
The reason why he was able to kill him with one blow, from the current point of view, should be due to the existence of the crescent blade.
The crescent blade happened to be on the left at that time. With the momentum of the war horse, when it penetrated completely, the crescent blade on the left cut through the opponent's heart, and then directly killed the hyena man. life!
"Injured?"
Looking at Zhou Chongshan, who was riding on horseback and twisting his wrist, Zhou Xu expressed concern.
“It’s a little twisted, it’s nothing serious.”
“Go back and let the doctor take a look at you.”
“Yes.”
While the two were having a simple conversation, the blood flowing out of the hyena man's body had already dyed the surrounding snow red.
Just in case, Zhou Xu approached with the crescent halberd, preparing to hit the opponent's throat again.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, the hyena man's body suddenly opened his eyes, and with a fierce blow, Zhou Xu's mount was shocked. With a neighing sound of "Xululu", he The whole person fell off the horse.
Seeing this, the hyena man rushed towards Zhou Xu with his body pierced by the crescent halberd.
Zhou Xu fell into the snow and rolled twice to relieve his strength.
In the process, he sensed the approach of the hyena men.
At the critical moment of life and death, while rolling, he quickly put his hand on the sword on his waist. In order to gain speed, he directly combined the action of drawing the sword and slashing into one.
Completely following his instinct, he drew his sword and swung it out with cold light.
In an instant, blood spattered and the throat was sealed with a knife!
