Chapter 298: Victory in sight
Speaking of this, he seemed to suddenly remember something, and then continued: "By the way, Huo Lao, if I remember correctly. We only need to continue to advance more than 200 miles to the west, even if we don't ask the Huyan people to ask for help, we should be able to bypass the source of the Yunluo River in front, and then turn back to the east and enter the boundary of Qinxi County in our Qin land. ”
Huo Xiaotian said: "Yes, what the prince said is extremely true. As long as we bypass the source of the Yunluo River in front, we can turn back to the east and soon enter our own territory. ”
Speaking of this, he pondered for a moment, and then continued: "However, don't look at what we say now, but if you want to really reach the nearest military town in our Qinxi County, even if you count from the source of the Yunluo River in front, I'm afraid it will take at least four or five days, and this can't be regarded as our current kind of walking." ”
Lu Zhaoming said: "In this way, if we can't really get help from the Huyan people in the front, if we want to really return to our own military town, I'm afraid it's really unknown." ”
Huo Xiaotian said: "Well, that's exactly the case. You know, most of the area is desert or the Gobi Desert, and the environment is extremely harsh. ”
Lu Zhaoming said: "It's bad now, the Huyan people have no so-called intersection with our Celestial Empire, how can we guarantee that people will really help us." ”
At this moment, Bai Zhongqi, the sentry officer next to him, also suddenly interjected: "That's it, we have only heard of this Huyan clan earlier, and it is said that they are very fierce and barbaric. ”
Song Jie, the king of Qin, said: "Okay, the matter has been so far, so naturally there is no need to hide anything from everyone." To tell the truth, our Huo Lao happened to have a lifelong friendship with the leader of their Huyan tribe in the past, so this time we will not only bring any trouble on ourselves, but will be warmly welcomed and vigorously funded by their Huyan people. ”
Huo Xiaotian said: "Yes, in the early years, I did rescue Tatabriwal, the leader of their Huyan tribe, on the Western Regions Road, and helped him kill the rebellious retinue and save his life, and since then we have had this rare friendship. ”
Xu Zhilong said: "In this case, then let's still delay some effort here, and don't take advantage of the fact that the big guy is not really tired now, and hurry up and continue to hurry." ”
Bai Zhongqi said: "Yes, what Brother Xu said is very true. Let's hurry up and continue to hurry, meet the Huyan people one day earlier, and wait for Huo Lao to officially contact them, we can really feel at ease. ”
Qin King Song Jie said: "Since this is the case, then let's ask Huo Lao to directly command the commander!" ”
Huo Xiaotian said: "In this way, in order to meet them as early as possible, I will take a few white armor warriors with good light body and kung fu to take a step forward to see if I can meet the other party's hunting clansmen, so that they can report first." ”
Song Jie said: "Well, that's very good. ”
Huo Xiaotian said: "As for the remaining brothers, they are divided into two, and the two brothers Bai and Xu are under their own command. The one with better physical fitness was in front of the guard, and the prince followed us quickly; The brothers who were in poor physical fitness and injured in the mountains followed up as much as possible according to their own situation as the rear guard of the rear team. ”
Bai Zhongqi said: "Obey Huo Lao's orders, the brothers of this palace will be handed over to the humble position, I absolutely guarantee that no injured brothers will be left behind." ”
Xu Zhilong said: "Since this is the case, then I, Xu Zhilong, will no longer be polite, and the errand of guarding the prince will be handed over to me." ”
In this way, after Huo Xiaotian and a few of them took the lead in galloping away, Xu Zhilong and Bai Zhongqi in the back also allocated the manpower cleanly, and everyone got up automatically.
However, what they never expected was that they had already reached the territory of the Huyan tribe, and everything seemed to be safe and sound, and they encountered an unknown ambush that was almost annihilated again!
In other words, Huo Xiaotian in front of them was letting go of their footsteps and running as fast as they could, when suddenly a white armored soldier in front of the left suddenly stopped on the spot, and exclaimed at the same time: "It's not good, Huo Lao, there seems to be a situation in the front left!" ”
Hearing him say this, Huo Xiaotian and the others quickly stopped, looked in the direction of the white armor soldier's finger just now, and really found that the position in front of the left was like a sandstorm suddenly rising in the flat ground, rolling far away in the direction where they were.
It's just that this distance is really a bit too far, and even Huo Xiaotian's ability is indeed unable to really see the real situation behind the sandstorm.
I don't know if this is really some unidentified cavalry suddenly attacking, or if it is just an ordinary sandstorm.
You know, although this area is not a real desert, but it is next to the edge of the "Suhulu" desert in the south, so this so-called sandstorm is not uncommon in the local area.
said that it was too late, but after seeing that Huo Xiaotian only glanced at it a few times, he quickly leaned down and used his ears to get close to the ground, and actually used the "listening to the sound" stunt on the rivers and lakes.
It didn't matter if he "listened" to the ground, he saw a violent jump, and shouted loudly: "It's not good, this is definitely not a common sandstorm in the local area, it is definitely a large number of elite horsemen!" ”
The white armored soldier earlier said tentatively: "This, this shouldn't be the patrol horse team of the Huyan tribe, maybe they found our traces, so they rushed over directly to find out......
Huo Xiaotian said: "It's definitely not the situation you said, because I know the habits of their Huyan people, generally for the so-called military situation on the periphery, they will never directly send troops to forcibly expel them, but will really 'salute first and then soldier'." ”
The white-armored soldier said, "What do you mean?" ”
Huo Xiaotian said: "Let's put it this way, they usually send a 'general officer' first, and first figure out the general situation, as long as the other party is not a real attacking enemy, they will definitely not easily use sword soldiers." Not to mention, this is not the real territory of their Huyan people, and they will not send troops so arbitrarily. ”
The white-armored soldier said, "In this way, this group of cavalry should not be from their Huyan tribe?" ”
Huo Xiaotian said: "Well, although I don't dare to be 100% sure of the old man, it can also be said that eight or nine are not far from ten, this group of people should not be from the Huyan clan." ”
The white-armored man said, "In that case, who can they be?" ”
Huo Xiaotian said: "Forget it, no matter who they are, just because they appear so bizarre here, it can be judged that they are not ordinary people, maybe they are really coming for us." ”
Speaking of this, he shouted violently: "Ah Shan, you hurry up and send out an emergency arrow with the prince, let Xu Zhilong and them escort the prince to speed up to the boundary of the Huyan people in front, and at the same time let Bai Zhongqi and them in the back immediately approach our side, and together with the old man, they are ready to fight the enemy at any time." ”
Speaking of this, he seemed to suddenly remember something, and quickly took out a wolf head token made of rhinoceros horn from his arms, and handed it directly to the white-armored warrior Ah Shan.
Then he said in a deep voice: "This wolf head token is the token that Tatabriwal, the leader of the Huyan tribe in the past, personally gave to me, so you can take it now, and when your emergency arrow is issued, you will immediately take this token to the prince and hand him over to the prince himself." ”
Ah Shan said: "Forget it, Huo Lao, let's stay on the spot and prepare to fight, you go and join the prince and them in person!" ”
Huo Xiaotian said: "Bastard, when has this been, why are you still rambling here!" ”
Hearing him scold like this, Ah Shan had no choice but to reach out and take the wolf head token given to him by Huo Xiaotian, and then sent out two special arrows one after another, then stomped his foot fiercely and then flew towards the Qin King Song Jie and their side.
Soon, after receiving Ah Shan's special arrow signal, Bai Zhongqi, who was in charge of the back of the hall, really rushed over with seventy or eighty people under his command almost as fast as possible, and joined Huo Xiaotian and them.
At the same time, that Ah Shan had also rushed over and went to join Qin King Song Jie and them all the way, and they continued to speed up in the other direction according to Huo Xiaotian's solemn explanation.
Needless to ask, they must be thinking of rushing to the territory of the Huyan people in front of them as soon as possible, in order to seek the protection of the Huyan people.
There are two flowers, one on each branch. Regardless of how King Qin and Song Jie ran all the way for the time being, let's go back and continue to watch the plot development of Huo Xiaotian and their side.
Sure enough, not long after Bai Zhongqi and the others had just arrived, and before they even had time to form the corresponding simple defensive formation on the spot, they could roughly see that the other party was a group of fierce knights.
From a distance, there are at least three or four hundred people on the other side, and it seems that they should all be wearing black armor and black armor, and even their faces are wearing black masks, leaving only two eyes, so they can't really see who they are.
Looking at the blades in their hands, they were all long-handled sabers, shining in the early morning sun.
At this moment, Huo Xiaotian ordered people to disperse on the spot and quickly lay out a simple formation to deal with the enemy, and at the same time said to Bai Zhongqi beside him in a deep voice: "How do I feel a little weird, how do I see that they don't look like those elite cavalry that we usually see?" ”
