Chapter 720: Pursuit (bobfyr 10,000 points of reward plus more)

When Sun Ce caught up with Ma Chao, Ma Chao was sitting on the side of the road in a daze, his face and body were covered with blood, his eyes were red and swollen, and he looked like he had cried, but he swore that he didn't cry, he was just angry.

Ma Chao was indeed very angry, his lips were still a little trembling when he spoke, and he kept cursing, and the words Nanban, cunning, and shameless kept coming out of his mouth, and he didn't notice that Sun Ce, the Nanban, was by his side. Sun Ce didn't bother to bother with him, knowing that he was really hurt this time. There were only more than 30 people left in the 100 elite horsemen brought, and only more than 10 war horses left, and they could not recover in a short time.

After watching the battlefield, Sun Ce also felt that Chen Deng was insidious enough. Chen Deng seemed to have expected that the cavalry would be chasing, and prepared a lot of poisoned arrows, and the target of the crossbowmen was mainly war horses. War horses have large targets and no armor, so they are easy to shoot. Without the war horse, the cavalry is equivalent to breaking both legs, and it is useless for Ma Chao to be in a hurry, and he can't pursue on foot.

When asked about the time, Sun Ce was not in a hurry. Since Chen Deng had been running for more than half an hour, he didn't care about wasting a little more time. He sent people to look around, paying special attention to the rut marks. Wei Teng came by car, and he would not give up his carriage, let alone walk. For such a celebrity, horseback riding does not match his identity, and long-distance walking is not something he can physically bear, so he can sit in a car as much as possible. The wheels of the carriage were different from those of the ox carts used to transport the baggage, which could be distinguished by experienced scouts.

Soon, a scout spotted the rut marks, and Sun Ce immediately ordered the pursuit to continue. Ma Chao also followed, and he had to kill Chen Deng.

The group continued to chase forward. Although everyone was on horseback, Sun Ce didn't walk very fast, and the speed of the foot soldiers' rapid march was commensurate. After chasing forward for about thirty miles, the sky was getting brighter, and the shadow of the banner was faintly seen in front of me, and the number of soldiers who had fallen behind on the side of the road gradually increased.

Sun Ce had two captives captured. It didn't take much effort to confirm that the direction was correct. Wei Teng and Chen Deng were in front. Chen Wen was also there, but he was already dead, just an hour ago, when Ma Chao caught up from behind.

Sun Ce didn't say a word, and immediately ordered to speed up, and issued a reward, catch Chen Deng, whether he is dead or alive, and reward a hundred gold.

Ma Chao came out of the horse, and said with a white face: "I don't want the bounty, I want to set Chen Deng's head, and no one can rob it." Ling Ming, let's go. Pound followed, and more than ten horses galloped forward. Sun Ce was speechless, so he had to order to follow.

The knights shouted, and the horses spread their hooves, rolled up a wild gallop, and galloped forward.

——

Chen Deng, who was napping on the wheel, suddenly woke up, straightened up, and almost fell off the car. Wei Teng was also awakened, and looked at Chen Deng reproachfully, although he didn't say anything, his eyes were full of dissatisfaction. He has a lot of opinions about Chen Deng leaving without a fight. He hasn't received any news about Zhou Ting yet, but he always feels that Zhou Xin is more than lucky.

Chen Deng looked around uneasily, the soldiers were on their way, but after walking for most of the night, they didn't have any energy now, they just rushed forward mechanically, and there were few sober people, even the guards beside the car were half-closed, and walked forward by the war horse. The chaotic footsteps showed exhaustion, and the heavy wheezing always reminded him of Chen Wen's difficult breathing before he died, only the sound of weapons colliding was quite crisp.

There was a thunderous sound approaching. Chen Deng looked around blankly. It's winter, and the horizon is full of morning glow, and it's clearly a sunny day, how can there be thunder. He froze, carefully discerning for a moment, and then realized that the thunder was coming from behind him. When he turned around, he was so frightened that he fell asleep.

On the official road in the distance, a group of cavalry was rapidly approaching, like a giant beast chopping waves, and the unprepared soldiers rushed to the fields and grass on both sides of the road, without fighting spirit. If you run slower, you will be knocked down and killed by cavalry. In the blink of an eye, more than ten horsemen had rushed to within 300 paces, and at the forefront was a general dressed in a gray-white coat, holding a spear, beating horses and galloping, murderous.

Although he couldn't see his face clearly, Chen Deng guessed who it was, and he didn't have time to think about it, so he patted the coachman's shoulder hard. "Hurry up, the pursuers are coming."

Although the coachman did not doze off, his spirit was also very tired, and when he heard Chen Deng's reminder, he turned his head and looked at it, and he was also scared into a cold sweat, and hurriedly raised his whip and whipped the horses. The horses neighed, quickened their pace, and galloped forward.

The tribes beside the carriage also woke up, shouted and shouted, kicked their horses forward, and followed the carriage.

Chen Deng held the chariot and looked back, seeing that the enemy cavalry was chasing closer and closer, he couldn't help but secretly complain. The ambush hit Ma Chao hard, he thought that the danger had passed, and relaxed his vigilance, but he didn't expect Ma Chao to be so tenacious and actually catch up again.

"What to do? What to do? Wei Teng also spotted the pursuers behind him, and his face turned pale with fright.

Chen Deng gritted his teeth in anger. At that time, he advised Wei Teng not to take a car, either to ride a horse or to take a heavy car, but Wei Teng refused, so he had to take his own car. Ma Chao caught up, and it was likely to follow the rut of the car. He arranged several suspicious soldiers, but there was only one car.

"Wei Jun, the enemy is catching up, we can't outrun the cavalry, hurry up and get off the car and take the path."

Wei Teng didn't care about his identity at this time. The chariot is brisk, but not as fast as the cavalry, and after a long time it will definitely be overtaken. He was about to get out of the car, but was dragged by Chen Deng. "Quick, undress, undress." Chen Deng said as he took off his armor and threw it on the car. Wei Teng understood, and also took off his Confucian shirt. But he was so flustered that he couldn't take it off for a long time. Chen Deng was in a hurry, grabbed his clothes with one hand, pulled out a short knife with the other, cut the placket and belt with the other, tore the sleeves again, threw them in the car, and jumped out of the car with Wei Teng's collar and rolled into the grass on the side.

Wei Teng fell and his nose was swollen, and he couldn't get up for a long time, Chen Deng dragged him, the cat rushed forward with his waist, weeds and miscellaneous trees scraped on his body and face, drawing blood marks, but he didn't care about the pain, and dragged Wei Teng to flee in embarrassment. They had just escaped from the road for more than 30 steps, and Ma Chao caught up, but he didn't notice Chen Deng on the side of the road, staring at the car in front of him and chasing after him. There were too many routs fleeing to both sides, and he saw the shadows of Chen Deng and Wei Teng, but he didn't realize that this was the target he was looking for.

Squatting in the grass, watching Ma Chao and other more than ten riders rush over, biting the cart in front of him, Chen Deng breathed a sigh of relief, glanced at the distance again, and the heart that had just been put down was lifted again.

He saw Sun Ce's battle flag. It turned out that it was not only Ma Chao who was chasing, but also Sun Ce. He couldn't help but secretly regret it. If he had known that Sun Ce would chase after him, he would not have ambushed Ma Chao, wasted so many poisonous arrows and sacrificed so many elites. Now he only had more than a thousand remnants around him, and he was unprepared, so he could only watch Sun Ce close at hand, but he was powerless to attack.

When Sun Ce passed in front of Chen Deng, he suddenly grabbed the reins, and Xu Chu, who was closest to him, raised his hand and ordered him to stop advancing. The herald sounded the horn, and more than 400 horsemen grabbed the reins in unison and quickly slowed down. Sun Ce pointed with his hand, and the two Yicong jumped off the horse, ran to the place where Chen Deng jumped out of the car, picked up something from the grass, and handed it to Sun Ce.

It was a leather bag, Sun Ce glanced at it, chuckled, looked up, and commanded two words, Xu Chu turned around and shouted, Bai Yi broke away from the team and rushed into the grass on the side of the road.
