Chapter 154: Ambush
In the dark night, on the official road, there are heavy wheezing sounds of people and horses, silent eating and drinking, as well as footsteps, horses' hooves, these guards of Yanjia Village are running around all day, except for occasionally letting the horses rest, they are riding on horses all the time, and they are very tired.
It's just that the target hasn't been found yet, and it is estimated that it will have to work hard.
In this way, he walked silently for a few miles, and when the people and horses were almost rested, there was another command in front of him, get on the horse, and jog in small steps.
It's not that Fan Tou sympathizes with these Yan family nursing homes, but it's already dark, although they don't have night blindness because they eat well, but their vision is much worse after all, and it's impossible to run like they do during the day.
Besides, it is also necessary to take this opportunity to rest and recover some physical strength, otherwise how to deal with it if you catch someone later.
The sound of horses' hooves just now intensified and faded away.
Fan Tou and Nahu were still at the front of the team, as the speed of the horse accelerated, the cold wind cut his face like a knife, and his eyes were blown hard to open, even so, he still did not dare to slack off, squinted his eyelids, and carefully watched the situation ahead.
Hu Ren, who was on a par with him, suddenly pointed his finger ahead and shouted, "Fire, there is fire." ”
Fan Tou carefully identified it from the gap in his eyes, and sure enough, a small cloud of light yellow light appeared in front of them, and as they kept approaching, the light flame continued to grow and disperse, it was a pile of bonfires.
Between the jumping firelight, the shadows of the shacks flickered.
Arrived?! Finally caught up!
Fan Tou was secretly happy in his heart, and was about to urge the horse to gallop, but suddenly thought of the ice surface that had suffered enough along the way, and suppressed the idea of speeding up, forget it, he had caught up, but he couldn't capsize in the gutter.
Pulling out the knife with his backhand, before he could speak, there was an endless "sonorous" sound behind him.
Brother Cheng and the third child, who were hanging at the end, were like everyone else at the moment, holding their waist knives in their hands and rushing towards the firelight.
Originally, Brother Cheng was worried that Fan Tou would be hot-headed after seeing the refugees, and he would rush forward regardless of it, but at this time, seeing that the speed of the entire horse team not only did not speed up, but decreased slightly, knowing that Fan Tou was also stunned by the frozen road that came along the way, he was not hot-headed, and he was a little relieved.
"Phew!" The third child's forehead was bruised and swollen, and he spat fiercely, "When I catch these little cubs later, I will definitely make a good concoction." ”
He was careless on the frozen road at the last place, and he also fell, but fortunately neither the man nor the horse were badly injured, and after a little delay, he caught up.
At this time, seeing that he was finally about to catch up, thinking about the fall just now, the embarrassment of the fall, and the pain on his forehead, he couldn't wait to kill a few people immediately to vent his anger.
Closer, Fan Tou can already see the figures in and out of the shack, compared with adult men, there is still a gap in height, yes, it should be the scouts.
"Up!" Fan Tou raised his knife in his right hand and shouted loudly.
Before leaving, Fan Yongdou privately explained to him that he should not kill on a large scale, especially not to hurt Doctor Sun, Mr. Li and Aunt Song who came out of the mouths of Da Li and his wife.
In Fan Yongdou's mind, even if these three people are not the ones who really grasp the core secrets of the sweater, they must have a deep relationship with that person, as long as the three of them are controlled, then this person who knows the secret of wool will not be able to escape from the palm of his hand.
Therefore, at the beginning, Fan Tou told the Yan family's guards not to kill people, but to arrest people.
It's just a group of refugees, how dare they fight with these heavily armed guards, as long as they show their blades and scare them, they must be on their knees, and it's not easy to catch someone, this is what Fan Tou and the guards think.
Therefore, he shouted "up" instead of "kill".
The chasing party has a playful attitude and has no murderous intent, while the chasing party is well-prepared and full of killing intent although the equipment is backward......
Dingguo, who was hiding next to the valley, finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the horse team roaring past.
Ma Er said that they arrived in half an hour, but they waited for more than an hour, and I don't know what these people are rubbing on the road, you must know that the taste of lying in the snow is not pleasant.
Ke Wang, who was sitting in a certain shack, also breathed a sigh of relief, his temperament was already a little anxious, and it was difficult for him to sit still for more than an hour.
This time finally came, Kewang laughed, stood up, held a spear, and walked forward slowly.
The upcoming big war did not make him feel the slightest fear, but the excitement that was about to move, and the full... Craving.
Fan Tou was riding on a horse, and when he was excited, he suddenly heard a long laugh from the shack, and the teenagers who were in and out of the shack, who seemed to be busy, suddenly gathered together in a bunch, followed one person, and greeted them directly.
This style of painting is wrong, Fan Tou was a little puzzled, seeing them coming on horseback, shouldn't these refugees scream in fear and flee in a hurry.
The reason why he lifted the horse up a little faster just now was that he was afraid that these people would scatter and flee, but now, how could this prey come at them instead.
Just when these thoughts were wandering in Fan's mind, he suddenly heard the sound of "bang", and a figure behind him suddenly became shorter, Fan Tou turned his head to look at it, and found that it was not the figure that was short, but the horse shadow that was short.
The figure sprang out of the horse's back, rolled straight forward, and coincidentally, slammed into Fan's horse's buttocks.
Then there was a "click", and the horse whined, and then fell forward, and one of its legs in the ground was completely broken, and even in such a dark night, the white bones could be seen.
"Trapped!" As soon as this thought came to Fan Tou's mind, the horse under the seat was bumped into by someone, and the horse screamed and jumped forward with a big stride.
Then the scene just now was staged behind several horses, and in an instant, the neighing of horses and the exclamations of people came and went, so lively.
"Phew!" , The guards in the middle hurriedly tightened the reins of the horses, and a few of them still couldn't contain the momentum, and even the people and horses collided without stepping on the horse pit.
As for Fan Tou and Nahuren, as soon as their horses were hit, they were frightened, and after leaping forward in both directions, they were lucky not to step on the horse pit.
The two of them were secretly rejoicing that the two horses had taken three more steps forward, and the third had just fallen, when a large black and deep pit suddenly appeared in the ground.
The pits, which were only thicker than the hooves, were only a little deeper than the horse's hooves, and the depth was very limited, only one-third of the horse's legs.
And this pit is big, deep and long, and it is specially prepared by Dingguo and Kewang for these fish who have slipped through the net.
Fan Tou secretly screamed that it was not good, and his feet hurriedly faded out of the stirrups, and before the horse fell to the bottom of the pit, he slammed his retracted feet on the saddle a little, and the whole person fell towards the open space in front of the pit.
At this time, a loud shout came from the rear, "Get up! ”
Fan Tou, who was still in the air, couldn't help but turn his head, only to see that at the back of the horse team, there were also a group of people turning on their backs, and there were several figures standing on both sides of the road, still maintaining a backward posture.
"Tripping rope!" At this time, Fan Tou didn't know where he had been ambushed.
