Kapitel 236: Chapter 156: Interception Outside the City_3

Under normal circumstances, facing such strong bows and crossbows and a well-defended army formation with thousands of soldiers, even a top-level martial artist would have no chance in a head-on confrontation.

However, at the moment, Qiao Xiuyuan and his companions were trying to escape, so they didn't attempt to break through the army formation directly. Instead, they ran around the city walls, cutting diagonally across the edge of the formation.

At this point, seeing that these people were about to flee, Du Rong felt his life was in danger.

Under tremendous pressure, he gritted his teeth and ordered, "Disperse the army formation and pursue the enemy as scattered soldiers."
