Chapter 187: Chain Reaction
The Armored Titan ran at full speed in front, and a large number of Survey Corps members chased behind, the sound of horse hooves connecting into one piece.
Su Xiao stood steadily on the Armored Titan's shoulder, raising his gun, adjusting the angle, breathing steadily, and shooting.
Bang.
The bullet left the chamber.
Ding,
A crisp sound of metal collision came.
This shot could be considered hitting the enemy, but the enemy didn't fall down.
The Survey Corps members wouldn't be beaten passively all the time. After Su Xiao shot and killed more than a dozen Survey Corps members, these guys took off the '3D Maneuver Gear' on both sides of their waists and closed the two '3D Maneuver Gear' together to block in front of them, forming a shield that could barely block the upper body.
Although doing so had the danger of falling off the horse, it could save their lives.
Even so, the Survey Corps' original large team of nearly eight hundred people was left with only six hundred.
Unable to easily shoot and kill Survey Corps members, Su Xiao was not a dead brain. If he couldn't hit people, he would shoot horses.
In the situation of people turning over and horses turning over, even if the Survey Corps members didn't die, they were seriously injured and absolutely couldn't continue the pursuit.
The Survey Corps' second combat power, 'Mike Zacharias', left the team because of this. That guy even broke one of his legs.
After the Armored Titan ran at full speed for more than an hour, Su Xiao fired more than two hundred bullets.
The Broken Spirit in his hand was hot, and its durability dropped by one-sixth.
Su Xiao's marksmanship obviously improved a lot. Compared to the human torso, the horse's body was obviously much larger.
Bang, bang, bang...
After a six-shot burst, the Broken Spirit rotated a few times in Su Xiao's hand, and his feeling became better and better.
Six shots knocked down four horses. Those fallen corps members were either injured or knocked unconscious, and none of them continued to chase.
Falling from a horse running at full speed was absolutely terrifying. Even if they weren't trampled by the companions behind, breaking a few bones was inevitable.
Su Xiao waited for the Broken Spirit to finish reloading. Annie and the others on the side were no longer nervous.
Judging from the current situation, it was wishful thinking for the Survey Corps to catch up with them.
As long as they didn't run into the forest, the Survey Corps' '3D Maneuver Gear' was a pile of scrap iron.
Two minutes later, the Broken Spirit finished reloading. Su Xiao fired six shots. This time three horses fell, but one unlucky corps member was hit in the head.
Continue waiting for reloading.
If Su Xiao's side was sunny, then the Survey Corps side was dark clouds.
"This absolutely won't work, must find a way."
Levi's forehead veins bulged. He had never been so aggrieved. If he was defeated head-on, he wouldn't say anything, but now he didn't even have a chance to get close.
"How about throwing away the '3D Maneuver Gear'? That way the speed will be faster."
Petra Ral suggested, but she immediately denied her own opinion. This was a very stupid method. Throwing away the '3D Maneuver Gear', even if they caught up with the enemy, what could they do? How to fight the Titan?
"If a part of the people throw away the '3D Maneuver Gear' and rush forward to drag them down, the follow-up troops will have a chance."
Han Ji Zoe made a choice in the predicament.
"This method won't work."
Levi immediately denied it.
"Why?"
Han Ji Zoe looked at Levi in surprise.
"If the commander was still alive, this would be a feasible method. If it's the two of us giving such an order, there will be problems within the Survey Corps."
Han Ji Zoe cursed in a low voice somewhat unwillingly. Levi's words made sense.
Canceling the '3D Maneuver Gear' and rushing forward was sending them to death. If she gave such an order, there would definitely be problems.
Han Ji Zoe looked at Su Xiao in front with hatred. The other party's choice to kill the commander first was too vicious, leading to the Survey Corps only being able to exert less than five percent of their combat power now.
The pursuit battle was still continuing. Although Su Xiao could only fire six bullets each time, reloading once every two minutes beat the Survey Corps back steadily.
After such a pursuit battle lasted for two hours, the Survey Corps was left with only five hundred people.
Continuous shooting made Su Xiao's marksmanship more and more accurate. Now he could shoot down four horses on average every six shots.
After the Broken Spirit finished reloading, Su Xiao aimed the muzzle at Han Ji Zoe.
That kind of lack of confidence of 'hit wherever pointed' had disappeared. Su Xiao now, although not a sharpshooter, had mastered basic shooting skills.
21 points of strength attribute made his arm as stable as a rock, 17 points of agility made his nerve firing speed unusually sharp, and 17 points of intelligence attribute + mind's eye made his perception greatly increased.
The support of these 'hardware', plus high-intensity shooting practice, made his current marksmanship at least able to not miss the target.
As for hitting the bullseye with every shot, that was a dream.
Calming his breathing, the already somewhat hot Broken Spirit made Su Xiao understand that it was impossible to fire thousands of shots continuously. His body could support it, but the Broken Spirit couldn't hold on.
Bang.
The bullet left the chamber, and the light red bullet whistled past Han Ji Zoe's ear.
Feeling the broken hair on her temple and the scorching heat from the bullet, Han Ji Zoe instinctively shrank her head.
Bang.
Another shot.
Whoosh~, this shot flew past the left side of the warhorse under Han Ji Zoe. That well-trained warhorse had no reaction at all. As long as it wasn't hit, it wouldn't stop running.
Bang.
The third shot.
With a crisp sound, this shot hit the '3D Maneuver Gear' that Han Ji Zoe held in front of her. The kinetic energy carried by the bullet made Han Ji Zoe's body begin to lean back, but her legs clamped the horse's belly tightly.
Bang.
The fourth shot.
Puchi, a spray of blood splashed on Han Ji Zoe's lower abdomen, and a fist-sized blood hole appeared on her lower abdomen.
"Ah!!"
Han Ji Zoe shouted, clamping the horse's belly tightly with her legs, looking like she would die on the horse's back even if she died.
Bang.
The fifth shot.
The warhorse under Han Ji Zoe let out a hiss, the horse body rolled forward, and the whole warhorse rolled half a circle in the air and fell to the ground.
Survey Corps acting commander Han Ji Zoe fell off the horse and broke away from the Survey Corps' pursuit team.
This situation triggered a chain reaction. More than half of the Survey Corps members tightened their saddles and stopped the pursuit.
Han Ji Zoe, this acting commander, was defeated, and they didn't want to chase anymore.
This was just an excuse. After being a target for two hours, the endurance of these people had reached the edge of collapse.
But they were not afraid of Titan battles, they were not even afraid of death, but this kind of battle where they couldn't resist made them very unwilling.
That Titan's footsteps showed no sign of slowing down. If this continued, they would all die.
The Survey Corps was left with only about one hundred people from the original eight hundred plus.
It wasn't that the Survey Corps' strength was not strong, but rushing for a day and a night made the horse power almost at its limit. It was already very good that these warhorses could persist until now.
More than half of the remaining one hundred people began to waver. Levi, the squad leader rushing at the front, was their last psychological pillar.
Su Xiao also noticed Levi rushing at the front. He didn't shoot immediately, waiting for the Broken Spirit's six bullets to be filled. ===== CHAPTER 188 =====
