After getting the horse, Nangong Xiao did not stop the horse, let alone run away directly. Instead, he urged the horse to walk around the field. At the same time, he clamped his feet on the horse's belly and drew his bow to kill the Gisstardt cavalrymen who continued to chase after the fleeing soldiers.
At the same time, Nangong Xiao would occasionally free up his hands to gradually remove the heavy armor on the horses so that the horses 'speed and endurance could be improved.
That's right, Nangong Xiao's plan was to use horses to fly kites!
The reason why he dared to do so was that apart from the ability to shoot with the bow, the Archery Specialization skill also came with the ability to ride and shoot. It was equivalent to giving Nangong Xiao exquisite horsemanship for free. Otherwise, with Nangong Xiao's ordinary horsemanship, it would be a problem for him to control it freely on the battlefield, let alone riding and shooting.
Nangong Xiao's sneak attack attracted the attention of the other Gisstardt cavalrymen, and several teams of cavalrymen chased after him.
Fortunately, many cavalrymen of this era did not carry bows and arrows. In fact, the cavalrymen of this world were the same as the European cavalrymen of the Middle Ages. The so-called 'virtue' of knights was to charge head-on, and bows and arrows were seen as weapons used by despicable people for a long time.
It was the same here. The orthodox knights disdained to use such " despicable " weapons like bows and arrows. Therefore, Nangong Xiao was able to use light cavalry to fight against heavy cavalry. In addition to the kiting style, he was able to play around for a while.
Moreover, it was like a fish in water. As long as he controlled the horse well and did not let himself be surrounded by the enemy cavalry, he would open up a distance and shoot.
Moreover, the opponent was a heavy cavalry. Not to mention the heavy armor on the knights, even the armor on the horses was enough to prevent the horses from running at high speed for a long time. Moreover, their running speed could not compare to Nangong Xiao's horse, which had its armor removed.
Therefore, in less than an hour, although the defeated troops of Brunel were either dead or fleeing, and there were very few Brunel soldiers on the plain, Nangong Xiao was still entangled with the Gisstardt cavalrymen on the battlefield, which made the Gisstardt cavalrymen extremely annoyed. However, they could not do anything. They could not catch up with them, so they found bows and arrows to shoot from afar. What was shocking was that the Brunel archer could actually turn around on the horse and shoot the arrows that were attacking them. What was even more unbelievable was that the opponent's arrows seemed to be inexhaustible. Fortunately, after fighting for almost an hour, the opponent's firing speed and strength had weakened. It was likely that his physical strength could not withstand it.
This was an opportunity to kill!
The knights of Gistalt all had this thought.
However, everyone was puzzled. Why didn't this archer run away?
The Brunai army had been completely defeated, and only a few of the Brunai army were still fleeing in the Denante Plain. Why didn't this powerful archer take the opportunity to escape back to Brunai? In theory, if this skilled archer wanted to escape, they really couldn't stop him.
The knights of Gisstardt were puzzled, but soon they saw the archer coming over to provoke them. They were angry and helpless, so they had to chase after him again.
In fact, Nangong Xiao was also very tired at this time. If he hadn't leveled up halfway, which made his condition full in an instant, he might not have been able to persist long ago. Even so, his body had reached the critical point at this time.
The horse he was riding was about the same. If it continued to run like this, it would probably die of exhaustion soon. If Nangong Xiao couldn't attract the attention of General Gisstardt, he would have to change his strategy.
Just as Nangong Xiao was thinking about snatching another horse and looking for the commander of the Gisstardt Army, he saw a team of well-equipped elite cavalry coming from the eastern plain.
Under the black dragon flag, a female knight dressed sexily was being escorted by elite cavalrymen.
Before Nangong Xiao could confirm his identity, the Gisstardt knights who were chasing him shouted excitedly.
" It's the Overlord's flag!!"
" Lady Battle Lady!!"
"Lord Sword Dancer Vertalia!!”
She was one of the female leads, Eleonora. Virtalia?
Nangong Xiao took a deep breath after looking at it from afar. Then, he lowered his head and said to the horse," Little Horse, just work harder for a while. Just a little while will do. Please!"”
After saying that, he kicked his spurs and charged towards Irene, who was Eleonora.
" What is that guy doing?!"
"Damn it! Was he going to ambush the Feudal Lord? Chase! Kill him!"
"Kill!"
The battle cries behind him did not affect Nangong Xiao at all. At this moment, his eyes were only on the woman with the nickname of 'Irene!'
The other party also noticed the abnormality here. Irene looked at Nangong Xiao with interest and said to the people around her," Lim, is that the troublesome Brunai archer? How bold of you to actually come to our side.”
"Milord, this subordinate will take his head now.”The fully armored knight replied in a deep voice and was about to ride his horse forward.
But at this moment, three sharp arrows fell from the sky and hit the mounts of the three knights beside Irene, including the female knight called Lim. They instantly fell to the ground along with the horses.
"Are you trying to limit the range of my mount? "Speaking of which, this is a distance of about 300 meters (all in real-life units). Interesting…" Irene was a little surprised. After the corners of her mouth curled up slightly, the sword on the saddle automatically pulled out and floated to her right hand. At the same time, a breeze dragged her and her horse up. She stepped over the horses and knights who had fallen to the ground. After landing, she urged her horse to rush towards Nangong Xiao.
Nangong Xiao was envious. This kind of magical ability really made people yearn for it.
Of course, now was not the time to think about this. What Nangong Xiao needed to do now was to attract the attention and interest of the other party, and at the same time, avoid being killed by the other party. When surrendering, he could not lose too much dignity. After all, this was an era of nobles, and it was also a world where strength was supreme. Strong strength and excellent character could easily attract the praise of the enemy, and thus receive the corresponding treatment!
After calming himself down, Nangong Xiao reached out to retrieve the arrow. However, just as he was about to draw his bow and shoot, the horse he was riding on was too tired. It tripped and fell off.
Nangong Xiao was shocked, and he covered his head with both hands and rolled to the side.
Seeing this scene, Irene was stunned for a moment. However, when she saw that the horse on the ground was foaming, she smiled and muttered," You're really hardworking…"
Just as Irene was sighing, three consecutive arrows came again. Nangong Xiao, who had rolled on the ground, stood up and shot three consecutive arrows with his bow.
However, just as the three arrows flew in front of Irene, they were sent flying by a gust of wind. There was even one arrow that was torn into powder by the wind. Nangong Xiao was so jealous that he almost had a heart.
However, he knew that this was not the time to talk about this. Irene was already very close, so Nangong Xiao fired again.
However, this time, it was not three consecutive arrows, but two arrows that were shot at almost no interval.
The two arrows came one after the other. After the wind in front of Irene blocked the first arrow, the second arrow had already arrived in front of her. She was somewhat surprised, but she calmly swung her sword and cut the arrow in half from the arrowhead.
At this time, Nangong Xiao had already put down his longbow because Irene had already arrived in front of him on her horse and raised her sword in front of him.
"Throw away the bow."
Nangong Xiao simply threw the badly worn longbow on the ground and asked indifferently," Aren't you going to kill me?”
"Kill? You are my spoils of war. What's his name?"
"Nangong Xiao, Count Brunai.”
" He's still a noble…" Irene said as she put away her sword. At the same time, the knights who had caught up with her dismounted and wanted to tie Nangong Xiao up.
However, at this moment, Irene suddenly said," Give him the treatment of a noble.”
"Yes, sir!"
After the knights of Gistalt responded, they didn't tie Nangong Xiao up. Instead, they sent a few people to lead Nangong Xiao away. Although those knights gritted their teeth, they didn't dare to go against their master, Irene's will…
……
In the Lord's Castle of the Duchy of Wright Melitz, it had been five days since Nangong Xiao was captured.
The Battle of Dinant Plains ended in a crushing defeat for the Brunai Kingdom. Not only did the Brunai Kingdom lose tens of thousands of troops, but even the king's only prince died in battle.
This was similar to the original drama. The ambitious people in the Kingdom of Brunai would probably be similar to the original drama. After the war, they would gradually jump out. Presumably, it would not be long before Brunai was in chaos.
Of course, this had nothing to do with Nangong Xiao. After all, he had become a prisoner of war that did not look like a prisoner of war.
The reason why it didn't look like it was because the owner of this place, Irene, gave him a lot of freedom. He could go to most places in the lord's castle.
However, Nangong Xiao rarely walked around. After all, he was now a captive. Whether it was hatred or contempt, it was very uncomfortable. Even if Nangong Xiao didn't care about these things, he still stayed in the room arranged by Irene as much as possible.
On the other hand, the battle at Dinant had also given Nangong Xiao an unprecedented harvest. Other than the EXP and System Coins he received after completing the mission, the harvest from killing was so rich that he would smile when he slept for a few days.
Just the experience points from killing and the experience points from the mission reward allowed Nangong Xiao to level up from level 2 to level 3. However, the experience points doubled after reaching level 3, which meant that he needed 5,000 experience points to level up to level 4. Now, he only had 3,000 experience points. If he wanted to level up again, he would have to spend some effort.
As for the System Coins, after deducting the 5 Silver Coins he had spent to exchange for Archery Mastery and the cost of exchanging for arrows, Nangong Xiao had earned a total of 73 Silver Coins and 56 Copper Coins. This was a very impressive harvest.
This wasn't much. More importantly, several pieces of equipment had dropped in this battle!
