Chapter 428: Hunting

The deep mountains of the Fergana Mountains are full of strange rocks and overgrown weeds, not to mention human tracks, even birds and beasts rarely come here to feed. However, a chase and escape, hunt and death are now being staged in the mountains.

"Bell!" A crossbow bolt grazed Bajo's ear and was nailed into a crack in the rock behind him, the buzzing tail of the arrow like his panicked heartbeat, scaring him into a cold sweat and his ears were hot.

Bajo and his two companions hid behind a rock, the mysterious and terrifying enemy was a hundred paces away, and without looking, Bajo could feel the cold arrows pointing at him, and as soon as his body was slightly out of the protective range of the rock, the powerful crossbow arrows would 'shoot' with the indifference and ruthlessness of death. The hiding place for the three of them was too small for them, and he had just been squeezed by his companions, only to attract crossbow arrows, which nearly killed him.

Speaking of the two companions, Bajo was quite angry, the urge to greet their ancestors for the eighteenth generation was held to his lips several times but swallowed back into his stomach, he knew that there was no infighting at this time, otherwise as long as his companions pushed him intentionally or unintentionally, the enemy's crossbow arrows would penetrate his body mercilessly.

Bajo prides himself on his luck, and a year ago he was a mountain dweller, hunting in the Jinshan Mountains and relying on his prey to survive. The Qarluqs changed the course of his life, lured him to a foreign land with rich wealth, and followed the Tuqi Shisulu Khan to attack the city of Ningyuan, and in a great defeat of nine deaths, Baho unbelievably escaped the fatal blow of Ningyuan's iron cavalry, while many of his companions were either killed in battle or captured as slaves. Returning to the Turgish, the Broken Leaf Fang, like all the surviving Qarluq Uighurs, became a Turgish for two meals a day. Anyway, he only wants food and clothing, and he doesn't mind which tribe he becomes.

Because he was good at mountain climbing, he was favored by the scout general Caser. A few days earlier, he had been ordered to travel through the Fergana Mountains to gather information about Ningyuan's Iron Cavalry and report back.

There are many steep mountain roads in the middle of the Fergana Mountain Range connecting the boundary of Ningyuan City and the 'medicine' water basin, for the Turgish, 'want' to explore the bottom of Ningyuan City, these inaccessible and even unknown trails have become the only way, but all the main passages have been blocked by the mountain pass, and the Ningyuan defenders are guarding the danger, and the scout cavalry cannot pass.

Along with Bajo, he abandoned his horses and entered the mountains, two other mountaineers who were equally adept at roaming between the cliffs and cliffs of the mountains.

Following their usual good luck, the three of Bajo stumbled through the mountain range, and the three of them divided into two groups and carefully searched for clues, and the character of Bajo alone, exploded, and they actually found the military camp of Ning Yuan Iron Cavalry on the south side of the Fergana Mountain Range. The camp was blocked by the only north-south passage in the middle of the Fergana mountain range, blocking the way of the Turgish scouts south.

Hiding among the broken rocks, the full view of the barracks fell into Bajo's eyes. The attentive Bajo discovered the enemy's flaws and was in ecstasy, and he couldn't wait to turn back and bring the news that would bring him countless cattle and sheep fortunes to his general. In fact, he almost did it, and the defenders of the barracks did not notice him at all, allowing him to slip away quietly. It was two of his companions who brought bad luck to him, and if it weren't for these two unlucky bastards, he would have safely crossed the rugged mountains.

Bajo didn't know why his companions had come up with such a formidable adversary, and according to them, they had discovered the coal mine, but before they could see it, they were spotted by the hounds, and the man followed them all the way, as if to kill them all. The three of Bajo wanted to fight their opponent in an ambush, but they almost died, and the strength of the opponent made him give up the idea of counterattacking, abandon all superfluous items, and concentrate on fleeing.

The pursuers stopped in a small open field, the so-called open field is a valley between two mountain peaks, scattered with rocks, because most of them are small rocks that cannot provide cover for the escapees, and the three Bajos have to stop behind the only life-saving rock to avoid the deadly crossbow bolts that are 'fired' from behind.

Dodging only prolongs the time of death, and even if they survive the long-awaited darkness to eliminate the threat of their pursuers, they will still not be able to escape another deadly enemy, the cold mountain wind, if they do not make a fire. To speed things up, they had ditched their bedding for heating last night.

"We'll 'hand' cover and retreat!" Bajo gritted his teeth and made a ruthless decision. The other two looked at each other in horror and nodded in hesitation, they had no better choice, they wanted to avoid being pierced by crossbow arrows, and the only way to do this was to rely on unity and cooperation.

"I'll run first, you cover." Bajo embarks on a game of life as a gamble, placing all his hopes on the bow and arrow in the hands of his companions.

"One, two, release the arrow!" Two companions, one left and one right, flashed from behind the rock, triggering feathered arrows in their hands. They used to be hunters in the mountains, and their archery skills were good, but archery skills couldn't make up for the gap in equipment. Chasing them were Li Zhongxin and Qin Wuyang, the two were equipped with a pair of crossbows, Qin Wuyang chose to 'shoot' on his stomach, and the counterattack of the fleeing enemy was almost no threat to him.

The counterattack's feather arrow landed unsatisfactorily and hit the stone a few steps in front of Qin Wuyang.

Hey! Qin Wuyang smiled with contempt in his heart, the moment the enemy appeared, he had already pulled the trigger of the strong crossbow, and he saw the crossbow arrow accurately piercing into the big 'leg' of an enemy.

"Well done!" Li Zhongxin grinned at Qin Wuyang, gave a thumbs up, and said confidently: "Cover me over, they are going to escape!" ”

Li Zhongxin was equipped with a horned bow, unlike crossbow arrows, the bow and arrows could not be in a full state at any time, and by the time the horned bow in his hand was like a full moon, the enemy had already hidden behind the rocks. Therefore, he did not hunt the target, but he saw an enemy fleeing, and he quickly judged that it was an enemy retreat.

Qin Wuyang also saw the back of Ba Huo's death, but he couldn't help it, it took time for the crossbow arrow to be wound. The interval between the crossbow arrows and the 'shooting' became Bajo's chance to escape, and he ran forward so frantically that he threw away the bow and arrows in his hand!

"Bastard!" Instead of fulfilling his promise to stop dozens of paces ahead to provide cover for them, Bajo ran away desperately, abandoning them under the rocks as fools.

The Grolu people looked at the Hui people, and without any hesitation, they 'shot' an arrow behind him, throwing away their bows and arrows and running wildly under the frightened eyes of the wounded Hui people.

No matter how fast the rabbit is, it is always the prey, no matter how hard it tries, it can't escape the powerful crossbow arrows, although the Grolu people threw more than a dozen steps, the crossbow arrows in Qin Wuyang's hands still accurately penetrated his vest, and the habitual 'sex' carried him away and nailed him to the ground.

The remaining Hui drew their scimitars, leaned their backs against the rocks, and stared desperately at Li Zhongxin, who appeared in front of him, unable to move because of the wound on his 'leg'.

The Hui saw a strong and flowing war knife slashing diagonally, he instinctively raised the scimitar to resist, with the sound of the broken blade, he didn't have time to be surprised, he didn't have time to feel new pain, and his consciousness quickly died......

"Why don't you keep it alive?" Qin Wuyang caught up and questioned Li Zhongxin.

Li Zhongxin glanced at the crossbow arrow Nunu mouth that ran through the 'leg' of the Hui people, Qin Wuyang laughed, is there any hope of survival after being hit so hard by the crossbow arrow?

"There's one more!" Li Zhongxin and Qin Wuyang looked at each other and smiled. In the distance, Bajo's figure left the valley and appeared on the mountainside.

"Chase!" ……

The night was quietly coming, Li Zhongxin and Qin Wuyang had no scruples, they were well equipped, with food in their backpacks and leather sleeping covers, which could allow them to survive the cold night. But what embarrassed them was that the opponent's will, ability and endurance to flee were not below them, which made them feel particularly hurt their self-esteem, they had undergone hard and inhuman training, but they were stunned that they could not catch up with this fleeing enemy, and the two sides always maintained a distance of hundreds of paces.

Finally chased to a cliff, Li Zhongxin looked around in a rough manner, and the trace of the opponent suddenly disappeared!

It wasn't until the sound of falling rocks from the bottom of the cliff that he realized that his opponent was unbelievably climbing down the almost upright cliff. Unable to see the target, the crossbow arrow will definitely not work, Li Zhongxin and Qin Wuyang each picked up two pieces of gravel with a smile and threw them down carelessly. The strong wind at night drowned out all the sounds, and in a vague way, Li Zhongxin and Qin Wuyang heard the intermittent sound of stones clashing......

At the same time, east of Toru Pass, at the southern foot of Lake Atami, more than 30,000 Turkish troops were gathering.

Binar, a Turkic merchant who had been lurking in Xijian City, had brought important news to Sulu Khan a few days ago, that Ningyuan's iron cavalry army was marching westward, and the enemy's nest was empty!

Hearing this news, Gu Si asked Sulu Khan to fight: "My son is willing to be the vanguard to 'swing' the thief's nest in one fell swoop, and ask my father Khan to do it!" ”

Du Mozhi also gritted his teeth and 'wanted' to send troops: "Great Khan, the thief is reckless, ignoring our existence, and even going west, he simply doesn't take us in his eyes, and we will be able to attack at this time!" And it can also relieve the siege of the Shi people. ”

If you talk about hatred with Li Huaitang, Sulu Khan admits that he is second, no one dares to grab the first, and his lame 'leg' is still due to Li Huaitang. However, several heavy defeats have taught him to be patient, and he needs the timing to kill with one blow. According to Binal's return, Li Huaitang not only took away tens of thousands of main forces, but also swaggered with his 'female' dependents on the expedition, seemingly not to fight but to hunt easily. Li Huaitang's frivolity is very much in line with his meaning, as long as Li Huaitang is caught in a protracted siege battle and has no time to look east, his opportunity will come.

"Order, no one is allowed to attack without my order!"

"Order Mohe Dagan to move west to Shiguo Sim City, and prepare to support Yi Wei!"

Breaking the siege for the people of Shiguo is insignificant to Sulu Khan, he didn't think that Mohe Dagan would rescue the people of Shiguo, what he needs is for him to make a gesture of help, and attract Li Huaitang to Shiguo, it is best to fight to the death with Li Huaitang, so that he can easily get the benefits of the fisherman. Sulu Khan is still quite confident in the ability of Yi Hui's infantry army to defend the city, and when Yi Wei fights out half of Li Huaitang's main force, his sweat tent may be able to move into Ningyuan City......
