Chapter 206: Chasing
They didn't have to wait too long, the hyena man must have discovered their presence.
When he saw that the situation was not good, he immediately turned around and ran.
Seeing this, Zhou Chongshan stretched out his arms, quickly drew his bow, and shot an arrow at the opponent's shoulder. Then he rode his horse and chased after him without stopping.
Zhou Xu also hurried to follow.
During this process, Zhou Chongshan showed his extraordinary skill in archery and horsemanship. He rode and shot all the way, relying on the range of the animal horn bow and controlling the speed of his mount to continuously shoot the bow, causing damage to the fleeing hyena man.
It's not that he couldn't catch up, but he deliberately didn't catch up.
Putting aside their endurance and explosive power, hyena people are not much faster than humans, and they definitely cannot escape from four-legged war horses.
Zhou Chongshan naturally wanted to take advantage of his strengths and consume the opponent.
It would be even better if we could kill it with one arrow.
Zhou Xu was obviously unable to perform such horse-riding and archery operations.
Horse riding and archery is a highly difficult skill. Not to mention him, who does not have much time to train all day long, even those soldiers who train every day cannot perform horse riding and archery skills at this moment.
Hyenas have high IQs, and they hunt prey on the grassland on a daily basis, so how could they not know the tricks involved?
There were constant rapid howling sounds coming from his mouth, as if he was calling his own people.
However, at this moment, those hyena people scattered like birds and beasts in order to save their lives, and ran away one by one. How could they have the energy to take care of this side?
The hyena man had probably realized this problem, for after calling for help several times in vain, his face quickly became ferocious.
In other seasons, he could hide in the lush grass to cover his tracks, but now, all he could see was snow! Where else could he hide? As his thoughts raced, the hyena man who was running ahead and had been hit by several arrows suddenly bent over, scooped up a handful of snow, and threw it behind him.
The purpose is to scare their mounts and create opportunities for themselves.
However, for Zhou Xu, who had a relatively complete cavalry development idea from the beginning, what was this little trick? The horses they tamed were equipped with earplugs and eye masks, and then they were specially trained to limit the horses' senses so that they would fully trust the rider's command! At this moment, facing the falling snow, Zhou Chongshan was not panicked at all. While controlling his mount to evade, he quickly switched his weapon to a crescent halberd and swept continuously, easily defusing the threat.
During this period, Zhou Xu seized the opportunity and took action at the right time.
[Speed ​​Enhancement! ]
Compared with the enhancements with clear directions, the improvement of simple "speed enhancement" is limited, but it is still there.
With the help of Zhou Xu's mantra, Zhou Chongshan, who had already started to accelerate, suddenly became even faster on his horse.
Feeling the enemy approaching quickly from behind, the hyena man became ruthless and turned around to counterattack! Zhou Chongshan was mentally prepared for this counterattack.
After all, at this point, the other party has no other means, and the only choice is to fight to the death.
At this moment, Zhou Chongshan was riding his horse at full speed, and the hyena man leaped forward, trying to knock him off the horse.
However, Zhou Chongshan was not panicked at all. In his opinion, this flying action was simply stupid.
Without saying a word, he raised the crescent halberd in his hand and stabbed at the hyena man with the momentum of a galloping warhorse.
The hyena man obviously didn't expect Zhou Chongshan's reaction to be so quick.
At the critical moment of life and death, the hyena man twisted his body forcefully in the air, trying to avoid the fatal wound.
Unexpectedly, when the attack was halfway through, Zhou Chongshan was able to adjust the trajectory of the attack. He shook his wrist violently, and the attack trajectory of the crescent halberd was immediately corrected.
In a flash, the crescent halberd, shining coldly in the snow, pierced through the hyena man's chest!
But then, the heavy weight coming from the halberd made Zhou Chongshan's face change suddenly.
This hyena man had a huge skeleton and a sturdy body. Even when he was skinny, he weighed more than 250 kilograms.
Zhou Chongshan is not known for his strength, so it is extremely difficult for him to hold a hyena man weighing more than 200 pounds with a crescent halberd in one hand.
At that moment, Zhou Chongshan clearly felt that his entire body balance was destroyed.
Before he fell off the horse, he quickly clamped his legs around the horse's belly to steady his body, and at the same time used his arms to try to forcibly pull out the crescent halberd.
However, at this moment, the extremely flexible crescent blade that Zhou Chongshan used in the battle has now become the biggest obstacle for him to draw out the crescent halberd! This situation made Zhou Chongshan frown, and then he made a quick decision and let go, throwing the crescent halberd out, thus successfully avoiding the end of falling off the horse.
Letting out a long breath, Zhou Chongshan, who was riding on horseback, couldn't help but shake his hands.
Then he quickly pulled the reins, signaling his mount to slow down, and turned back.
During this time, Zhou Xu, who was following behind, slowed down after seeing the hyena man being pierced through the body by Zhou Chongshan's crescent halberd.
Now the hyena man was lying on the snow with his back to the sky, and Zhou Chongshan's crescent halberd was stuck in his chest. It seemed that he had been killed in one blow.
In fact, from Zhou Xu's perspective, Zhou Chongshan's shot was actually off-center, landing in the middle of the hyena man's chest, but the heart was on the left! The reason why he was able to kill him with one shot, as far as we can see now, should be due to the existence of the crescent blade.
At that time, the crescent blade happened to be on the left side. When it penetrated through with the momentum brought by the warhorse, the crescent blade on the left cut the opponent's heart, which directly took the life of the hyena man!
"Injured?"
Looking at Zhou Chongshan who was riding on a horse with his wrist twisted, Zhou Xu said with concern.
"It's just a slight sprain, nothing serious."
"Go back and let the doctor take a look at you."
"yes."
As the two men had a brief conversation, the blood that continued to flow from the hyena man's body had already dyed the surrounding snow red.
Just in case, Zhou Xu moved closer with his crescent halberd, ready to strike the opponent's throat again.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, the hyena man's corpse suddenly opened its eyes and struck hard, startling Zhou Xu's mount. With a "hiss" neigh, he fell directly off the horse's back.
Seeing this, the hyena man rushed towards Zhou Xu with his body pierced by the crescent halberd.
Zhou Xu fell on the snow and rolled twice to relieve the force.
In the process, he felt the approach of the hyena people.
At the critical moment of life and death, he quickly put his hand on the sword at his waist while rolling. In order to increase speed, he combined the action of drawing the sword and swinging it into one.
Completely following his instinct, he swung his sword with a cold flash.
In an instant, blood splattered and the throat was cut by a knife!
