More than 200 miles north of Dingxiang City is the desert, and the reason why Sun Xiangfu asked everyone to use all horses was because he expected that Wang Hao would choose to use camels to cross the entire northern desert from east to west, so that he could avoid being pursued as much as possible, and this distance was not short, and only camels could be used.

Horses, in short-distance running, are stronger than camels, so Wang Hao started yesterday afternoon, sleepless took almost eight hours, only walked more than 200 miles, arrived at the edge of the desert, and Sun Xiangfu only took two or three hours, and rushed to the edge of the desert.

At this time, in the Sun Mansion Courtyard in Dingxiang City, Yu Xiu'er was already in a mess, because Sun Xiangfu openly resisted the decree and ignored state affairs, so Li Shimin had to deal with it, Qian Niuwei has now controlled the Sun Mansion Courtyard, so that she can only be anxious in the Courtyard.

At dusk, Sun Xiangfu, who had arrived at the edge of the desert, asked Zhang Ke to exchange the horses that could not run with the nearby herdsmen for some local ponies with strong endurance.

"Grandpa, it's very dangerous to travel in the desert at night, and it's easy to get lost······"

"I don't care so much, everyone is in a group of five, each group is a hundred steps apart, one person is responsible for exploring the way, one person is responsible for lookout, in a horizontal line, like a rapid search in the direction of the west, leaving three people to lie on horseback to nap and rest, rotate once every hour, Wang Hao only escaped yesterday afternoon, his people simply can't support the continuous sleepless rush, we will definitely be able to catch up with him."

Sun Xiangfu used a fast horse to chase Wang Hao, first of all, the distance between the two sides was shortened, and as long as Wang Hao really chose a camel, he was definitely still within a hundred miles of this desert, and Sun Xiangfu pulled these more than 200 people into a long line of several kilometers, all the way from the desert to the west, one night, can definitely search for a distance of more than 200 miles, as long as the direction is right, you will definitely be able to find Wang Hao's traces.

Facts have proved that Wang Hao's previous worries were correct, and their group is not safe now, especially after it has been dark for more than an hour.

Even the most capable person can't withstand two days of sleeplessness, especially when entering the desert and everyone's psychological defense is relaxed.

"Poof."

"What's the situation?"

The sound of a heavy object falling on the ground sounded in the camel caravan, and Wang Hao immediately stopped everyone's march.

"It's okay, it's okay, childe, I'm just sleepy, and I accidentally fell off the camel, but fortunately the ground is full of sand, and I didn't fall and get hurt."

Hearing this, Wang Hao, who was also sleepy, raised his hand and said, "Let's stop and find a leeward place to rest and rest!" When it's dawn, let's set off again. ”

"Long live Childe······"

From the cheers of his subordinates, Wang Hao heard everyone's current psychological condition, so he felt that he was even more dangerous.

However, in this situation, he has no good way, he just hopes that Sun Xiangfu will not react so quickly, and he is really desperate to catch up.

It was not yet September, the desert at night, began to be cold and windy, the subordinates drank a few sips of spirits, and soon rolled up the woolen blanket, leaned on the camel and fell asleep, Wang Hao did not dare to sleep, because he felt flustered inexplicably, but he was always a normal person, even if he continued to drink strong wine in small sips to stimulate himself, but the sleepiness also kept rising, and the whole mental state was not very good.

After persisting for more than two hours, the time has entered the second half of the night, and there is still more than an hour before dawn, Wang Hao really can't hold on, thinking about it, he has been worried all night, Sun Zhengming didn't chase after him at all, he wants to call a subordinate to get up and watch the night, and he will squint for a while, so he is in a hurry during the day.

However, at this time, in the darkness, there were many flashes of light, and these lights were rapidly approaching them.

It was a pair of wolf eyes, if it was a normal person, when he saw these guys, he would definitely be scared and panicked, however, Wang Hao saw these wolves, and there was some excitement in his heart.

If his previous panic was because of these wolf cubs, then this is really a happy event, because these wolves cannot pose a threat to the lives of their group, as long as there are no pursuers behind.

"Hurry up, everybody, there's a wolf."

Wang Hao shouted loudly to his subordinates, and at the same time, a crossbow made by Shanyang has been caught in his hand, and their group is equipped with such a strong crossbow, with Wang Hao's energy, it is not difficult to get some of this kind of things that are heavily equipped in the Tang army for self-defense, and with this kind of sharp weapon that can be fired quickly in succession, if the wolves get close, it can only become food for their journey.

"Brush Brush ······"

More than 20 strong men, after being woken up by Wang Hao, pulled out their waist knives one after another, and grabbed the crossbow in their hands, back to back, forming a circle, the desert wolves are very cunning, they can even find out the deepest time for people to sleep, and sneak attack with different tactics, so that these people who are accustomed to walking outside do not dare to take it lightly.

Soon, a great battle between man and wolf pack began in the desert.

"Whew······"

A she-wolf who had been shot through the belly by a crossbow arrow let out a terrible wail, and her wail was blown far away with the north wind that blew at night.

"There's movement, it's the voice of a wolf."

A guard of the Sun Mansion who was in charge of the lookout quickly raised his telescope and looked around, but because the starlight was too dark, in the desert, the sand dunes were stacked, and the distance was a little far, for a while, he did not find the specific location of the wolf howl.

"Isn't it normal for wolves to howl at night in the desert?" In the group, there is another escort road that is responsible for beating horses and groping for the way in front.

Hearing this, the lookout shook his head and said, "This is not a normal wolf howl, this is a wail, a sound that only makes when a wolf is attacked, suffers, or killed." ”

The wayfinder was shocked, "You mean, we have brothers fighting wolves?" ”

The lookout shook his head again and said, "We are the group on the far left, the voice is coming from our left, it must not be our brother, maybe it is Wang Hao's people, we have to hurry over and have a look." ”

"Yes, yes, that big guy cheered up and ran to the left with me." When the escort who was exploring the way heard that it might be Wang Hao, he was immediately excited and shouted, and suddenly, the other three guards who were holding the reins by the lookout and lying on horseback, squinting and napping, also sat up straight, and after touching their faces to drive away the sleepiness, they held their weapons in their hands while controlling the horse.

"Woohoo, whoa······"

After less than half an hour of running, the sound of the wolves' wails became closer and denser, and soon, on a hill, the lookout spotted the battle circle here.

"It's Wang Hao, they're being besieged by wolves."

"Really? Let me see. ”

"Really, if it weren't for these wolves, we would have almost missed them."

The guard in charge of pathfinding quickly took over the lookout's telescope, and at a glance, he suddenly became excited, where they were, the distance from the search line, at least a mile away, in the dark night, if Wang Hao and they continue to rest quietly, soon, they will be staggered with the search line arranged by Sun Xiangfu, blame, can only blame Wang Xu for doing too much evil, God is unwilling to let him live.

"Blow the whistle and gather the people."

The loud steel whistle broke the tranquility of the entire desert, and Wang Hao could not have imagined that he won the calculation, but lost to luck.

"It's not good, it's the steel whistle that will only be used when the army assembles, and there are chasing soldiers."

When Wang Hao's subordinates shouted this sentence, Wang Hao's face was already like ashes, if the person who came was Sun Zhengming, then, this time, he would have no physiology, and the seemingly weak guy would definitely kill himself with his own hands like killing the dog Ertian Yun.

"Throw all the heavy loads off your camel and go."

Wang Hao didn't even care about the damage caused by the entanglement with the wolves, he still had to make the last dying struggle, this is the desert, it's dark night, Sun Zhengming's guards want to gather people and form a siege around themselves, it still takes time, and as long as he escapes from their sight before dawn, then, in the vast desert, he still has a chance to escape.

"It's a whistle, there's a discovery on the left, quick, gather to the left, whistle to inform the brother on the right."

The scattered manpower soon began to gather to the left through the transmission of the whistle, and after a while, Sun Xiangfu and Zhang Ke and others in the center also heard the whistle.

"Wang Hao, this time, I will never let you run away again."

Sun Xiangfu gritted his teeth, whipped the horse's buttocks fiercely, and hurried quickly in the direction of the whistle.

"Hahaha, at this time, they still want to escape, but the camels can't outrun our horses."

As the teams gathered, the confidence of the guards was also full, and while chasing after the horses, they began to put armor on key parts, and at this time, Wang Hao, who was frantically looking for sand dunes and corners in the dark, could avoid the sight of the pursuers, hated the camel under his crotch.

He habitually thinks about things in the long term, thoughtfully, and unexpectedly, this time, because he thought too carefully, he chose to ride a camel across the desert, but instead, he lost the advantage of speed.

On the desert, who was alarmed by the whistle, there was another group of people, that was the flying cavalry led by Dugu Mou, he was ordered by Li Shimin to arrest Sun Xiangfu and go back to ask for the crime, he and Sun Xiangfu were separated from Dingxiang City by less than half an hour, and under some chase, the distance from the Sun Mansion guards who scattered and explored was less than a few miles.

"Quick, catch up, if you really let Zhengming kill Wang Hao, Your Majesty, I'm afraid that he will suffer."

Dugu Mou is a good intention, because, knowing Li Shimin's thoughts, he also wants to help Sun Xiangfu recover, if he just resists the decree, but does not kill Wang Hao, Li Shimin should not be punished again, but if Wang Hao is killed and Li Shimin's plan to enter the Western Regions is disrupted, then after Sun Xiangfu goes back, even if he does not die, he will have to shed his skin.

Not long after, the Sun Mansion guards of the brigade gradually caught up with Wang Hao's camel team, and under the crossbow shooting at each other, Wang Hao's people suffered heavy losses, because, the firepower is not on a large scale, they are only more than 20 people, chasing them, but more than 100 people, when they shoot 20 arrows, but they have to bear the blow of more than 100 arrows, those camels who were hit by arrows fell one by one, and the subordinates who fell with them were also killed by Sun Fu's guards with arrows, and after a while, the horses that ran faster finally caught up with the camels.

"Wang Hao, don't be dying, wait for my grandfather's disposal, perhaps, you can have a decent way to die."

Zhang Ke shouted, the crossbow in his hand, and kept pulling the trigger, finally, there was a crossbow arrow, directly nailed through the thigh of the camel that Wang Hao was riding, the tall camel, directly to the sand dunes in front of him, Wang Hao's leg fell on the dune, Zhang Ke quickly stepped forward, a horse whip out, Wang Hao still held the crossbow in his hand to fly, and was pressed by the camel legs, the back of the hand was Zhang Ke pumped Wang Hao, suddenly also gave up the idea of escaping, because, a guard of the Sun Mansion, The entire sand dunes had been surrounded, and there was no way for him to escape.
