At this moment, the soldiers felt utterly bewildered. If they were to fight individually, they would stand no chance against Jun Wu Xiao.
Chu Wu had also regained his composure by now. After all, having fought in battles for decades, he couldn't possibly remain unfocused for long.
Stepping forward, Chu Wu commanded:
"Cavalry, quickly encircle the enemy from behind."
Thousands of cavalrymen, hearing the order, charged forward, forming an arc and gradually enveloping Jun Wu Xiao from behind.
Jun Wu Xiao was puzzled by this maneuver. He couldn't fathom how a few thousand men could pose a threat to him.
While he was still trying to grasp the situation, Chu Wu issued another command:
"Infantry, advance forward."
Tens of thousands of soldiers, using shields for protection, moved forward. They approached Jun Wu Xiao step by step.
At this point, Jun Wu Xiao started to feel that things were turning unfavorable. The soldiers used shields to protect themselves, making it difficult for him to strike them on the head.
"What should I do now? Surely, I can't just run away after a brief skirmish." Jun Wu Xiao thought.
As he pondered and retreated, he inadvertently forgot that he was still surrounded by the enemy's cavalry.
"Heady!"
"Heady!"
"Heady!"
Shouts erupted from the cavalry as thousands of them quickly closed the circle to attack Jun Wu Xiao.
Startled by the approaching cavalrymen wielding spears, Jun Wu Xiao was left with no choice but to defend reactively.
"I haven't been injured yet, how could I possibly run away? Even if they outnumber me, they won't be able to do anything." Jun Wu Xiao declared.
He then swung his stick, knocking an approaching spear aside, and leaped onto a horse, striking the rider on the head and rendering the cavalryman unconscious. He threw the cavalryman to the ground and started riding the horse.
Why ride a horse when he could run faster? Simply because he wanted to try it, until then, he had never ridden a horse before.
After struggling for a while, he decided to dismount and run on foot. He remarked:
"It's quite difficult, I can run faster than this and I'm in the battle so I can't practice. What do I need a horse for?"
As countless cavalrymen wielding spears charged directly at him, he looked at them and laughed, saying:
"Ha ha ha, come here."
He spun his stick and quickly dashed forward, continuously swinging his stick to knock away weapons and render the nearby cavalrymen unconscious.
However, at this moment, the infantry had also gotten very close to Jun Wu Xiao, who glanced behind him only to see a dense crowd of people.
"Maybe I should deal with the infantry first? That's the decision, then. After dealing with the infantry, I'll continue fighting the cavalry." Jun Wu Xiao thought.
He then ran towards the infantry, realizing that attacking from the front was futile since they were shielded.
"What should I do now?" Jun Wu Xiao frowned and said.
Suddenly, an idea struck him, and he smiled and said:
"That's right, if moving on the ground doesn't work, I'll move above their heads. This way, I can easily knock them on the head."
Since yesterday, he had become addicted to knocking people on the head, not out of intention but because apart from hitting on the head, he didn't know of any other way to render people unconscious.
He then jumped onto the heads of the infantry and began swinging his stick from above. Since the soldiers' vision was largely blocked by their shields, they couldn't see where he was.
Hundreds more were rendered unconscious by Jun Wu Xiao. At this point, some soldiers shouted:
"He's above us."
"Watch out above your head."
"Protect your head, that madman loves to hit heads."
The soldiers quickly passed the message, so now everyone was more cautious about protecting their heads. But being more cautious didn't mean they could react faster than Jun Wu Xiao.
He continuously swung his stick, with the sound of impacts echoing across the battlefield. By this point, he had knocked out a few thousand more people.
After a while, he noticed his hand was bleeding. Looking at his palm, he said:
"Damn it, I haven't been wounded by the enemy, and I've already injured myself."
But this minor injury couldn't dampen the thrill of hitting people on the head, ahem, it should be called fighting.
At this moment, Chu Wu could no longer sit still, but he still had to wait for the right moment. When he saw that Jun Wu Xiao had reached the middle of the infantry, he shouted:
"All infantry, use your shields to cover the front and then immediately sit down. Archers, get ready to shoot."
Upon receiving the order, the infantry didn't hesitate and immediately executed it. Hesitation wouldn't solve anything, prolonging the situation would only result in them getting knocked out.
As Jun Wu Xiao was swiftly moving on top of the enemy heads to swing his stick, the sudden action of the infantry nearly made him fall.
"Damn it, what are you doing? Sitting down in the middle of a battle, are you waiting to give up and die?" Jun Wu Xiao cursed.
But very quickly, he realized a problem. The space around him had become extremely empty, and he felt something dangerous approaching.
"Why do I feel like I'm the only target in this space?" Jun Wu Xiao thought.
Then, it dawned on him:
"So that's it. Now I'm the only target... Damn, time to run."
While he was speaking, he noticed the issue, seeing the enemy archers ready. Realizing this, he immediately ran fast towards the cavalry.
At this time, Chu Wu smirked and shouted:
"Use the shields to push him back."
Hearing this, the infantry angled their shields in one direction and simultaneously popped up to push Jun Wu Xiao back toward them. Then they immediately sat down.
This move successfully thwarted Jun Wu Xiao's attempt to flee. At this moment, Chu Wu shouted again:
"Fire."
Tens of thousands of arrows were flying towards Jun Wu Xiao, who knew he couldn't run anymore and stood still, preparing to defend against the archers' attack.
"Damn it, if you're going to shoot, then shoot. Let's see if you run out of arrows or if I get hit first." Jun Wu Xiao said.
As the arrows neared him, he continuously swung his stick to knock them away. He focused on protecting his head and heart primarily, though he also protected other areas, just not as prioritized.
"Aaaaaaa!"
Jun Wu Xiao let out a cry as his right thigh was pierced by an arrow. Gritting his teeth in pain, he continued to fend off the arrows flying towards him.
Tens of thousands of arrows were shot by the archers at him, and even though he was fast, he was hit by four arrows. One arrow hit his stomach, two hit his left leg, and one hit his right leg.
He bore the pain, pulled the arrows out, and because he had been strengthened so much, his blood flowed out much slower than normal, so it wasn't immediately critical.
At this moment, only one thought occupied his mind: "Run, just damn run." Then he immediately ran off, but not before yelling:
"I will definitely come back".
