Chapter 573: Chapter 573 Can you be more despicable? (3)_1
The three generals that he and Congyi were facing had already suffered two casualties, and the remaining one was covered in wounds.
If the enemy wanted to flee, they would have to get the agreement of Situ Gong and Luo Heng.
The Eight Trigrams Array continued to maintain its progression, the troops on both its flanks subtly beginning a encircling maneuver.
"Sound Gold again." Upon discerning the intentions of Situ Gong and Luo Heng, Billy was no longer composed. The troops he had brought this time belonged to the faction of the eldest prince, and if they were heavily struck, the strength of the eldest prince would undoubtedly be weakened after they returned.
After weighing the gains and losses, Billy and Bayal immediately made the correct choice.
"Change formation." Situ Gong commanded.
The Eight Trigrams Array transformed once more, the vanguards on the left and right flanks forming a Cone Formation, a formation with the greatest impact force, easily capable of splitting apart the enemy’s cavalry.
Having retreated back to the opposite side of the great river, Bayal and Billy immediately ordered their archers to prepare their defenses and await reinforcements.
"Sound Gold again, and tell Timur to return to the camp immediately." Seeing that the distant Timur was struggling tremendously, Billy’s face had turned pale.
If it could be said that the eldest prince was the person he was backing, then Timur was Billy’s favourite disciple.
He absolutely could not permit his most competent and favourite disciple to die before his eyes, "Immediately save him."
He pointed at two of his top generals and ordered them.
The two generals received the order and left.
When faced with the threat of death, Timur abandoned his pride and chose to save himself. Looking like he was going to make a strong effort, he then feigned an attack, and then immediately fled on his horse with the help of his confidants.
Just as Amuzhen and Zhebie were ordered to come and save him, the four men quickly rode as fast as they could to escape.
"Bring the bow and arrows here." Chu Suifeng sneered and ordered, thinking that they could just get away easily right under his watch.
Congyi quickly handed him a pair of bow and arrows.
This pair had been designed by Lin Ziyin to be a crossbow. Chu Suifeng took the crossbow, and aimed it at the fleeing Timur.
Out of the four men who were escaping, this man was the most formidable. He targeted Timur to dampen the spirits of those from the North Country.
Martial artists generally have good hearing; Timur heard the sound of the arrow whistling past his ear, prompting him to immediately lower his torso and lay flat on the horse. A single arrow flew past the top of his head, causing him to break out in a cold sweat.
Before he even had a chance to sit up, he felt another arrow coming from behind. He grit his teeth and decisively rolled under his horse’s belly. An arrow soared past yet again.
But it wasn’t over yet; a third arrow was coming towards him without warning.
This time Timur didn’t have a chance to dodge it. Frustrated, he shut his eyes.
Zhebie, who was following closely beside him, saw it, and desperately deflected it with his sword.
The arrow deviated from its original path, but lodged deeply into Timur’s right arm.
A wave of intense pain washed over him; however, Timur could not bring himself to let go of his long knife. This was his personal weapon which he had carried with him for many years. He simply couldn’t bear to let go of it.
"He didn’t die; he sure is tenacious." Chu Suifeng saw the third arrow hit Timur’s right arm. Even though the man didn’t die, Chu Suifeng was a bit unhappy.
"My Prince, our Tianji Building-made arrowheads are always extraordinary, sure to give Timur a run for his money." Congyi said with a grin.
"Sound Gold." Chu Suifeng saw that the men and horses of the North Country had completely returned to the other bank of the river and immediately gave the order.
At this point, the troops of Situ Gong and Luo Heng halted their attack. They chose not to pursue an exhausted enemy, adhering to an age-old principle.
Both Lin Ziyin and Master Hui Zhen, having witnessed the entire course of the battle, simultaneously heaved a sigh of relief.
