Chapter 1392: Only one person escaped
"What should we do, my lord?" immediately someone asked anxiously and nervously, "It's too wide!
"Rush!" shouted the deputy commander, "if you don't rush, there is only a dead end!"
There are less than twenty people left, and absolutely all of them are alert, otherwise they would have died on the way home. So, in an instant, they understood the meaning of the deputy commander's words: It's a big deal, but if they're lucky, they might be able to fight for a glimmer of life for themselves!
The deputy commander had already taken the lead to the edge of the pit in the midst of the loud drink, only to see that his fingers were like knives, and with a "swish", he was fiercely inserted into the horse's buttocks. The war rider was in pain, and he couldn't stop the pace that he wanted to stop instinctively, and suddenly "screamed", kicked his hooves, and jumped to the other side of the big pit with a "whoosh......
Now, the less than twenty people left had no choice, not to mention the demonstration of the deputy commander in front of them, so they also poked the horse's buttocks in the same way, forcing the war rider to bring out the last potential and try to cross the big pit in front of them!
It's a pity that war horses are the same as people, and they are also different, so there are very few who can finally jump over. Moreover, the front hooves of the horses that successfully jumped over barely caught the edge of the other side of the pit, and then with a "whoosh", they tragically slipped to the bottom of the pit. The rest of the horses were all planted directly in the middle of the road! Only the deputy commander saw the opportunity quickly, and at the critical moment when the front hooves of the war horse caught the edge of the pit, his feet slammed on the horse's back, and the whole person soared into the sky like a great peng with wings, and of course, the mount under him slid down at a faster speed!
The nearly 2,000 heavily armored cavalry who followed closely followed, of course, also saw the big pit lying in front of them, and they didn't need to be greeted by their masters at all, and almost all the war horses instinctively slowed down. There are also some heavy cavalry who are eager to make meritorious contributions and want to do the same, but unfortunately, because there is no threat of life and death, they are not as heavy as the remaining twenty people. As a result, less than ten horses jumped in unison, and because of their lack of strength, they only jumped halfway and fell to the bottom of the pit. More often than not, at the edge of the pit, the horses who had been beaten desperately suddenly stopped, and refused to move even half a step further. There are also dozens of unlucky bastards, who tragically rolled down the pit with men and horses because the mounts under them were too late to recover......
The people on the city wall saw the thrilling chase below clearly and truly. I don't know if it was to cover the Bright Church fighter masters who were less than twenty left, or to intercept the heavily armored pursuers behind them, anyway, at the critical moment, the commander-in-chief of the city defense suddenly shouted and gave an order: "All the demon archers, listen to my orders and aim at the location of the big pit...... Shoot!"
As a result, a terrible rain of life-urging arrows came "whooshing......
At that time, it was at a time when the remaining less than twenty people had fallen or slipped into the pit and some of the nearly two thousand heavy armored cavalry had fallen and slipped into the pit. Some people dropped their mounts and climbed up desperately after sliding to the bottom of the pit, while others were thrown to the ground and still didn't recover...... Suddenly, the entire pit was covered in a rain of arrows! What's even worse is that these were "magic arrows," and under the flood and explosion of all kinds of magic power, dozens of people who fell into the pit turned into flying ashes in an instant......
The two captains of the nearly 2,000 heavily armored cavalry saw the rain of arrows "swishing" on the head of Tara City for the first time, so they hurriedly shouted and ordered: "Turn the horse's head!" "All retreat!"
Before the war horse had run two steps, there was a loud "boom" sound behind him, and at the same time he felt a tremor of the earth, especially the one in the last row, who was almost affected by the attack of the magic arrow, and naturally he was secretly happy.
In fact, what is even worse is that the demon archers on the side of the Drifting Side, when they saw the deputy commander leading his subordinates to ride horses and jump into the pit, they couldn't help but take action because they were afraid that they would successfully escape.
Therefore, in the last row, there were a number of more unlucky ones, and in the joy of shouting "luck", they were affected by the "magic arrows" of their own camp, and one of them had an unstable foothold, and they fell into a huge pit that had been bombarded and enlarged a little.
After running desperately for a while, nearly 2,000 heavily armored cavalry dared to stop and turned back in shock. The pit that originally stood between them and Tara City, and the possibility of jumping over horses, has now expanded more than doubled, and it has almost become a moat. Therefore, nearly 2,000 heavy armored cavalry completely cut off the idea of continuing the pursuit. Moreover, smoke and dust were flying there, and it was difficult to see the movements of those who managed to escape on the other side of the crater.
In fact, the only one who really succeeded in getting out was the deputy commander. He rode up on his horse, and sure enough, he managed to leap over the big pit, and as soon as his feet touched the ground, he ran as fast as he could, and the speed was almost straight to the arrow, so that he was not affected by the attack of the magic arrows of the demon archer who drifted without a trace.
"Someone has escaped!"
"My lord, shall we open the gate and let him in?"
"Stupid!" the commander-in-chief of the city defense commanded, "it's just one person, is it necessary to open the city gates?"
"The enemy soldiers were all blocked on the other side of the pit. A city guard advised, "Open the city gate and let him in, there shouldn't be any danger!"
"Hmph!" retorted the commander-in-chief of the city defense, "can this pit stop the magicians? Besides, can't they dig tunnels from underground?
"That's the deputy commander of the Thousand Elite Sect of Light!" a city defense officer anxiously reminded, "Could it be that we can't save ourselves like this?"
"Who said that you have to open the city gate to save people?" After the city guard asked angrily, he picked up a large circle of ropes on the ground, and then leaned to the side of the city wall, and threw one end of the rope down with a "whoosh". Fortunately, this rope is dozens of feet, otherwise, it may not be able to reach the city.
The deputy commander ran as hard as he could, anxiously checking the movement of the city of Tara, and was about to approach the city walls when he saw a rope rushing down from high in the air. Without the slightest hesitation, the deputy commander rushed over, grabbed the rope, and rushed up with both feet against the wall.
"Thank you!" the deputy commander looked grateful.
Just when the commander-in-chief of the city defense said some polite words such as "it should be taken for granted," the city defense officer, who had just been in a hurry to save people, was already angry in his heart: "Okay! Let him do all the good things alone!"
