Chapter 747: The Chase (Part II)
After more than half an hour of chasing between the two sides, Fu Gongyan used two emergency stops and turns in a row to get rid of the pursuit of the plateau, but Shui Xinyue, Chun Yu Zhongxiu and others narrowed the distance between him and within thirty steps, and more importantly, the speed of Fu Gongyan sitting on the white horse has been significantly reduced.
Because the sudden stop and sharp turn are things that consume the body of the war horse very much, so after several emergency stops and sharp turns, the body of the white horse when Fu Gongyan sat down decreased a lot, and the speed naturally decreased a lot. The red dragon sitting on the plateau was still in good spirits, and his speed did not decrease at all, although he was thrown down by Fu Gongyan with another emergency stop and sharp turn, but it only took a distance of more than a hundred steps for the plateau to catch up again. This also proves that the red dragon, whether it is speed or endurance, is on top of Fu Gongyan sitting on the white horse.
Listening to the sound of the horse's hooves behind his head getting closer and closer, Fu Gongyan's heart was also very anxious, although he waved his whip again and again, urging the horse to move quickly, but the speed of the white horse not only did not speed up, but also became slower and slower, after all, the horsepower is limited, and the speed of the white horse has reached the limit, and it is not something that can be changed by manpower.
After running dozens of steps, the plateau has caught up with Fu Gongyan, and this time Fu Gongyan can no longer use emergency stops and sharp turns to get rid of the plateau, because Shui Xinyue, Chun Yu Zhongxiu and others behind him are only more than 20 steps away, if they stop at this time, although they can temporarily swing off the plateau, they will be immediately caught up by the people behind.
However, this time the plateau did not open the distance between him and Fu Gongyan, the two horses were no more than a foot apart, and they went hand in hand, and Gao Yuan waved his spear and swept towards Fu Gongyan. Fu Gongyan hurriedly waved his sword to parry, so the two fought fiercely on horseback.
Although Fu Gongyan's riding skills are now very proficient, his experience and ability in riding are insufficient, and he still uses the old-fashioned flat bridge without horse pedaling furniture, if he just rides and runs, it is okay to fight on horseback, it is somewhat difficult to avoid it. The plateau has been fighting for several years, and the riding skills and riding battles have long been pure, and the use of new horse furniture can easily make various movements on horseback.
At the same time, there is a very important point, although at this time the two horses are side by side, head to head, but there is still more than a zhang away, and the weapon used by the plateau is a spear for cavalry warfare, which is more than two zhang long, and can naturally attack Fu Gongyan, and Fu Gongyan does not have a spear for cavalry warfare, still uses his short sword, the total length is only two feet and one inch, in such an environment, can only passively parry, block, can not attack the plateau at all. As a result, Fu Gongyan was naturally passive everywhere, forced by the plateau to be in a hurry, taking care of one thing and losing the other.
Fu Gongyan's heart is very clear, if he continues to fight like this, he will definitely lose, because he can't attack the plateau, but the other party can attack him without any scruples, so the only way now is to dismount and fight. Although he dismounted to fight, he would face the attack of the two masters of Gao Yuan and Shui Xinyue, but if he could kill or severely damage Gao Yuan, there was still a chance of survival.
Thinking of this, Fu Gongyan immediately made a decision, suddenly jumped up from the horse, landed on the other side of the war horse, and then retreated several steps in a row, counteracting the inertia, before gaining a firm foothold.
Gao Yuan nodded on horseback, Fu Gongyan is indeed a person with excellent intelligence, in such an emergency situation, he still made the right choice, although dismounting to fight does not guarantee that Fu Gongyan can escape his life, but at least there is a little chance, and fighting on horseback, there is no chance at all. Purely intellectually speaking, Fu Gongyan is not under Han Teng, but he lacks experience, and he also lacks effective assistants around him, if Fu Gongyan also has a few masters like the Five God Generals, this time the situation may be different.
However, Gao Yuan did not immediately restrain the war horse, because after Fu Gongyan jumped off the war horse, he would definitely not be able to run, so Gao Yuan let the red dragon run a few steps forward, buffer and slow down, and then turned the horse. Sure enough, after Fu Gongyan stood firm, he did not flee immediately, but held a sword and guarded strictly, and the white horse that Fu Gongyan rode ran forward more than a dozen steps, only to find that there was no one on his back, so he also stopped.
And Gao Yuan did not immediately approach Fu Gongyan, but was more than a dozen steps away, pointing a spear at Fu Gongyan, waiting for his companions to catch up. After a while, Shui Xinyue, Chunyu Zhongxiu and others immediately chased after them, but at this time, there were only more than ten soldiers left who could keep up.
Gao Yuan threw away the spear, jumped off the red dragon and pulled out the saber, came to Fu Gongyan, stopped at a distance of more than ten steps, and held him, while Shui Xinyue and Chun Yu Zhong Xiu stood on both sides of the plateau on the left and on the right. The other soldiers formed a semi-encirclement about ten paces behind the three of them, encircling Fu Gongyan at the core.
Fu Gongyan's gaze swept over the three of them, and finally fell on Shui Xinyue's body, and sneered: "Shui Xinyue, I can't imagine that you dare to betray the Jiuli clan?" ”
Shui Xinyue said lightly: "I have never regarded myself as a member of the Jiuli clan, just like you authentic disciples have never regarded us foreign brothers as real Jiuli clansmen, I am just loyal to Lord Han Teng, so I will stop anything that threatens Lord Han Teng, and I will not hesitate to use any means." ”
Fu Gongyan was speechless for a while, because Shui Xinyue was not wrong, in the Jiuli clan, the authentic disciples did not regard the foreign disciples as the real Jiuli people, but regarded them as subordinates and even slaves, which was also the source of the contradiction between Han Teng and the authentic disciples, he was recognized by Chi You as a foreign disciple, and in one fell swoop he surpassed all the authentic disciples, and led to the improvement of the status of the foreign disciples of the whole clan, which was unacceptable to the authentic disciples.
However, neither Fu Gongyan nor other authentic disciples have thought about a question, that is, since the authentic disciples did not regard foreign disciples as real Jiuli people, why should foreign disciples be loyal to the Jiuli tribe? In the past, it was because the Jiuli clan had been lurking, and the foreign disciples had no other choice but to bow their heads and listen honestly, but now that the Jiuli clan has begun to officially compete for the world, the choice opportunities of foreign disciples will naturally increase greatly, and of course they will not be completely loyal to the Jiuli clan.
Like this time, Fu Gongyan came to Daijun, and unceremoniously seized the command of the spy system established by Shui Xinyue in Daijun, and pulled Shui Xinyue's subordinates, and did not leave a little face for Shui Xinyue, this is still due to the inertia of the authentic younger brother and son to despise the foreign brothers, so Shui Xinyue chose to cooperate with the plateau, which is not surprising, and Fu Gongyan is too confident, thinking that these foreign disciples will not betray the Jiuli clan, and as a result, such a situation is caused, but Shui Xinyue is loyal to Han Teng personally, It is also clear that he has not completely surrendered to the plateau Fu Gongyan, and when it comes to this, it means that Shui Xinyue will definitely not let go of herself, because if she lets herself leave alive and returns to the Jiuli clan, then Han Teng will definitely be implicated, so Shui Xinyue must kill herself.
However, from the moment Fu Gongyan jumped off the war horse, he already had the determination to fight to the death, because Gao Yuan and the others were now sure of victory, at this time, of course, they would not fight with themselves, and this was also their only chance to escape. Therefore, Fu Gongyan pointed at Shui Xinyue with a short sword and said: "Okay, now I'm here, see which of you will take my life, whether you are Gao Yuan or Gao Yuan, fight me fairly, if I really lose in your hands, I will be willing to die." ”
At this time, Gao Yuan smiled: "Fu Gongyan, now is not a contest, but a battlefield confrontation, we will not compete with you one-on-one, we will only use the most appropriate method to kill you." He waved his hand lightly and said, "Bow and arrow ready." ”
More than a dozen soldiers of the Dai Army behind him immediately took the bows from their backs, pulled the bowstring and put on the feather arrows, pointing at Fu Gongyan.
And Fu Gongyan's face changed greatly, originally he really wanted to provoke Gao Yuan and the others to have a one-on-one battle with him, so that he would have a chance, but he didn't expect that Gao Yuan would not be on the set at all, not only rejected Fu Gongyan's idea, but also ordered the soldiers to use bows and crossbows to deal with Fu Gongyan.
Now the Dai army is only more than twenty steps away from Fu Gongyan, although Fu Gongyan's martial arts are extremely high, but at such a close distance, the bow and arrow will still bring him great danger. Of course, if it is just these archers, Fu Gongyan can still deal with them, but now there are still two masters standing in front of him, Gao Yuan and Shui Xinyue, and although Chun Yu Zhongxiu's strength is not as good as Gao Yuan and Shui Xinyue, he also has the strength to fight with Fu Gongyan, so of course Fu Gongyan knows that it is impossible for him to calmly deal with bows and arrows under the threat of these three people.
So Fu Gongyan immediately made a decision, his body was vertical, and the short sword in his hand turned into a long rainbow, stabbing towards the plateau. Because at this time, you can only engage in close combat with the plateau, so that you can prevent the Dai army from archery, and other things will not be taken care of. Therefore, although the two sides faced each other at this time, no one showed any flaws, but Fu Gongyan could only choose to take the lead in launching an attack on the plateau.
But at this time, Gao Yuan had already made preparations, watching Fu Gongyan stab at him with a sword, Gao Yuan roared angrily, and the saber in his hand swung out a sword-like light, slashing at Fu Gongyan's head.
Fu Gongyan couldn't help but be surprised, he thought that his sword was stabbed, even if the plateau didn't dodge or dodge, he would swing his sword to parry, and this time he could unfold the sword momentum, and Zhi Shao could gain a certain initiative in a short period of time.
Although Fu Gongyan had made up his mind to fight to the death just now, he still couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart in the face of the knife that Gao Yuan slashed at him, and his body immediately changed to a horizontal shift, moving a distance of four feet to the left, dodging the knife cut by Gao Yuan, and the sword he stabbed at Gao Yuan naturally stabbed in the air.
