Chapter 66: Total Annihilation of the Cavemen
The number of cavemen was extremely large. Xu Lai and the others only had four people in total. Although the four of them kept drawing their bows, there was still no decrease in the number of cavemen.
Su Ya, who had been fleeing in the front, also saw Xu Lai who came to support. Seeing this situation, she did not run away. She ordered the infantry and spearmen to continue to retreat, while she turned around and shot with four militia shooters.
The people in the cave, who were about to be lured away by Xu Lai and the others, paused for a moment and decisively gave up on Xu Lai and the others, who were moving at an alarming speed and could not catch up no matter what.
Seeing that the caveman was still chasing her and others, Su Ya didn't panic at all. She retreated purely because there were five shooters including herself.
She carried a self-made quiver on her back. Although there were many arrows in reserve, it was impossible for the four militia archers to deal with so many cavemen.
So she turned around and retreated, but with Xu Lai's support, she needed to attract the enemy firmly to her side and not let Xu Lai take any risks.
The two sides had already opened a distance of more than 100 meters, but Su Ya watched helplessly as the enemy got closer and closer, so close that Xu Lai began to worry about Su Ya and couldn't help but lead the rangers As they sprinted towards the cavemen, she started running again with the militia shooter.
The speed at the beginning has not reached its maximum. When the caveman is closest, he can even attack with a Jordan-style jump forward.
However, Su Ya's control of the distance is extremely precise. It can also be said that these monster soldiers around him will not have any unexpected situations at all.
Ordinary people, even well-trained warriors, will inevitably make mistakes. If they get nervous or have cramps in their feet, or if they try to stretch their left leg with their right leg, any situation on the battlefield may occur.
But these monsters have no independent consciousness and are completely unaffected by any emotional factors.
As long as the commander leading them is qualified enough and does not let them walk on dangerous roads or encounter stumbling blocks, there will basically be no other accidents.
Su Ya was calm and composed on her side, while Xu Laiji in the back broke into cold sweat and vowed to punish this dead girl properly when she went back.
Xu Lai's sprint almost didn't have time to turn. If he rushed directly into the crowd in the cave, he would really die.
But it's not necessarily true. These cavemen are very short. Although his prairie horse is not as tall as the ranger's horse, it is not short.
As long as they maintain a certain speed, these dwarfs will be trampled upon.
To be on the safe side, Xu Lai turned the horse's head in time, but still took away some of the cavemen.
Xu Lai ignored them and led the rangers to continue shooting indiscriminately.
The rangers' quiver contains 38 quivers. They used a few during the previous battle with the harpies, but they mainly attracted the harpies and did not fight much themselves.
With two quivers, Xu Lai conservatively estimated that they brought more than 60 arrows to the battle.
Xu Lai and the caveman always stay within the 100-meter range. First, the closer they are, the higher the hit rate. Second, they always use straight arrows within the 100-meter range, which is the optimal shooting range.
Not to mention the level 1 cavemen, even the level 2 hell cavemen couldn't withstand an arrow from the rangers, so they were shot by Xu Lai and still had a slight chance of surviving.
Three rangers have nearly 200 arrows, plus there are hundreds more stored in Xu Lai's space backpack.
Xu Lai calculated silently in his heart, and with the occasional output from Su Ya and the militia shooters, Xu Lai believed that there would not be a big problem, and there was no need to mobilize the sharpshooters for the time being.
Once they come, the pressure is gone, and most of the experience is taken away from them. When will the Rangers upgrade?
Xu Lai and the others Kuku shot, the cavemen Kuku chased, but Su Ya and the others ran for a while and then turned around and shot. Because the firepower was too light, even if Xu Lai and the others could kill them instantly, one round of arrows could only kill four cavemen instantly.
It is not as easy to draw a bow and aim on a horse as it is on the ground. Xu Lai is a little better, as long as he shoots in the direction with the most people in the cave.
The rangers have to take serious aim. One round takes at least 5 or 6 seconds. Plus the time to control the horse, a shot can be fired in about ten seconds. Wheel arrows are considered good.
It takes nearly 2 minutes to shoot ten rounds of arrows. If one or two arrows are missed, Xu Lai can kill about 30 in 2 minutes.
If this rhythm is maintained, the pressure will not be great, but even if the rangers' bows are not as strong as the long archers, they still have to control the horses. If the two offset each other, the physical consumption will be the same as that of the long archers. big.
After shooting at full capacity for about 3 minutes, they still need to rest their arms. Fortunately, the mounts under their crotches do not need to rest, and they will not be overtaken even if they stop shooting for a while.
Xu Lai's physical fitness is 15 points. Not only his physical strength is amazing, but his recovery speed is also amazing.
Whenever he felt his arm was sore, he would just put it down for a while, and then he could raise the bow and shoot again after half a minute of not using it.
After shooting a dozen cavemen to death, Xu Lai upgraded his long-range weapon skills to level 3 as expected.
It’s not just about long-range weapons, because it’s riding and shooting, Xu Lai’s riding skills have also improved dramatically, reaching level 3 earlier than long-range weapons.
Level 3 riding skill allows Xu Lai to have stronger control over the horse. In addition to the sprinting skill, he also has a passive skill of riding and shooting. Shooting immediately will gain a 15% hit rate correction.
The long-range weapon has an additional projectile skill, which has the same effect as the longbowman's, and Xu Lai doesn't like to use it.
On the other hand, Xu Lai soon benefited from the correction of the hit rate of mounted archery.
The more cavemen chase, the fewer they become. Those who die under Xu Lai's arrows will have the morale of a large group of nearby cavemen reduced by 1 point.
Originally, the cavemen were in a state of being beaten all the time and could not fight back, so their morale continued to be low. After a large number of casualties, morale had already collapsed to the bottom.
However, this is not the first time that Xu Lai has beaten the enemy until his morale collapsed. He has long known what this state is like.
"Morale Collapse": Attack, defense, and speed are reduced by 20%, and there is a 20% probability of fleeing every minute (cumulative superposition).
After morale collapses, the enemy will not flee immediately, but will fight and run at the same time. However, it can only last for 5 minutes at most, and there is a 100% chance of fleeing after 5 minutes.
This is the situation Xu Lai is facing now.
Before, the cavemen were crowded together, but now they were rushing and fleeing. In addition, Xu Lai and the others had shot hundreds of them to death, and the group of cavemen was obviously thinner.
Before upgrading, Xu Lai's hit rate had been overtaken by the Rangers. After having the mounted shooting correction and level 3 long-range weapons, Xu Lai's hit rate slowly recovered.
The cavemen were defeated, and Su Ya in front stopped running away, and even called over the lumberjacks who had run away before.
The attributes of the cavemen are inherently poor. Once their morale collapses, they can no longer run. They are not even willing to fight, so they turn their backs to the farmers and receive the fork.
However, these cavemen also fled towards their own caves, but Xu Lai and others blocked the entrance of the cave. None of them escaped, and they were all wiped out in the cave.
