Chapter 833: Tracking
Lu Shikui sighed and said: "The most hateful thing is me, I carelessly let Hadan go for a while, causing General Xia to accompany me out and catch him all over the mountains and wilderness, but I haven't been able to catch it yet." Pen | fun | pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ ο½ο½ο½ο½β
Xia Jing said: "Hey, what is this, without this opportunity, I can't see so much scenery outside the pass, and I have to thank General Lu for speaking of it." β
Lu Shikui laughed and said: "General Xia, you and I have no chance to fight side by side in the Great Song Dynasty, and now we are chasing the enemy together in the land outside the Guan, and the chasing is actually the host kings of Mongolia, who would have thought of such a thing?" β
Xia Jing was stunned, laughed out loud, and said, "It's really interesting, it's really interesting." β
The two laughed loudly, and had fun on the march, but they were also very happy.
The men and horses marched forward through the valley, Lu Shikui's eyes were as sharp as eagles, and suddenly found a little trace, and immediately made a silent gesture, and everyone slowed down the horses, and even held their breath, looking in the direction that Lu Shikui was looking, but they saw nothing.
Xia Jing was shocked, looked carefully a few more times, and finally found a path that was difficult to detect, as if someone had passed by!
Lu Shikui was more cautious, his eyes fixed on the opposite path and observed carefully.
The trail is very narrow and covered by shrubs, which is extremely difficult to spot even against a silvery white background, with only a few traces of sparse bushes showing through them.
Xia Jing admired Lu Shikui's observation very much, and whispered: "General Lu has a good eye, it seems that someone has walked over not long ago, do you want to go over and have a look?" β
Lu Shikui said: "Of course, the whole army is not allowed to make noise, go to the opposite side to see if it is the footprint of one person and one horse." β
More than two hundred horsemen moved quickly, and in less than a quarter of an hour, they found the trail. Now not only Lu Shikui, everyone can see it clearly, it is indeed one person and one horse!
Xia Jing's spirits were greatly lifted, in this inaccessible place, in this kind of weather, how could anyone have to walk such a remote mountain trail? The biggest possibility is Hadan!
Lu Shikui nodded and said to Xia Jing, "How is it?" Chase. β
Xia Jing nodded heavily and smiled: "Chase!" β
The two led their troops along the trail over the hill, and their eyes suddenly brightened. At the bottom of the mountain is a small valley plain, where people should often graze and shelter from the wind, but it is winter, the pastures are depressed, and there are no herders in sight.
What pleased the two of them the most was that they saw a slightly dilapidated grass hut left behind by the herdsmen, and in front of the grass hut was a horse eating hay. They both knew the horseβWuri!
Xia Jing couldn't help but be overjoyed and said, "General Lu, Hadan is still tired, so I have to find a place to rest." β
Lu Shikui smiled and said: "He is only one person, he is hiding from people during the day, and he has to beware of being surrounded by us at night, can he not be tired?" β
Xia Jing sneered and said, "Hadan can also be called capable, if it weren't for General Lu's eyes like lightning and discovering this little clue, we would definitely turn in another direction along the road, maybe we won't find this guy again." β
Lu Shikui said: "The magic is one foot high, the road is one foot high, and no matter how cunning the rabbit is, it will have to be chased by the hunters, but we still have to be careful." β
Xia Jing was stunned: "Be careful of what?" β
Lu Shikui said: "We only saw horses, not people, Hadan in the grass hut is our guess, there is no basis." If Hadan happened to be absent, wouldn't we have pounced? β
Xia Jing was stunned: "Why is Hadan not here? In such a big place, he can't go anywhere without the horse, the horse is there, the people must be there. β
Lu Shikui said: "Generally speaking, it is true, but we have already been on Hadan once, and I don't want to go to Hadan a second time." β
Xia Jing couldn't help but stretch out his thumb and praised: "General Lu is so thoughtful, I am willing to bow to the wind." β
Lu Shikui said: "Let's catch Hadan first, and then we won't let him run away this time." β
Xia Jing arched his hand and said, "Please give orders to General Lu." β
Lu Shikui was also not polite, and said, "Okay, I wronged General Xia to listen to my orders." General Xia took a few people over, don't ride horses, be careful to get closer, see if there is anyone in the shed, and I will take people around the foot of the mountain in case something changes. β
Xia Jing had no objection, answered yes, jumped off the horse, pulled out the knife, and approached the grass shed step by step with two personal soldiers.
Lu Shikui left a hundred people to change, and he led people to abandon their horses and gallop on foot. At the end of this small plain, there is a flat gap, which should be the way that herders often enter and exit this small plain. Lu Shikui was afraid that Hadan would have another trick, so he would rather work harder and seal all possible retreats. As for abandoning the horse, it was purely because he didn't want to wake up Hadan halfway, which would lead to failure.
Xia Jing really encountered a good time, Wu Ri was so hungry that he had been burying his head in the hay, and gnawing and gnawing, and he actually faced Xia Jing with his buttocks, and he didn't notice that three people were touching him.
Xia Jing was very careful, and his two personal soldiers advanced little by little in the shape of "Pin", always keeping an eye on their feet, for fear that Hadan would make some traps to protect themselves. After a few moments, the three approached the hut.
Lu Shikui panted and ran to the gap, observed for a moment, and beckoned to Xia Jing.
Xia Jing waved his hand back, and the two personal soldiers immediately bypassed him on both sides and rushed to the grass hut!
When Wuri heard a strange noise and saw someone attacking, he was so anxious that he hissed and flew his front hooves!
Two soldiers kicked the wooden door one after the other, attacked the grass shed, and found that the grass shed was really empty!
General Lu expected it!
The two pro-soldiers were taken aback, and hurriedly leaned over and shouted to Xia Jing: "Division commander, no one!" β
Xia Jing was even more surprised than them, but he didn't expect that Lu Shikui's caution was actually very reasonable, and Hadan played a hand of golden cicada shelling!
So, the horses are here, and where is Hadan gone?
The hiss of Uri has awakened Hadan!
Hadan is indeed as Lu Shikui and Xia Jing said, he urgently needs to rest, and he also wants Wuri to eat some forage. Hadan still had some food, most of which was fed to Uri, and without this steed, he would not have thought of anything.
There was a lot of forage left by the herdsmen in the hut, and although the goal was obvious, Hadan could not afford to move the hay elsewhere, so he simply let Wuri eat enough in the hut, and he hid in the bushes under a large pine tree, covered with thick pine needles, covered with thick fur, and took a nap.
Exhausted, Hadan quickly fell asleep and snored. It's a pity that because the wind was too loud, it covered up his snoring, and Lu Shikui led his troops to pass by not far from him and didn't hear it.
However, the hiss of Uri instantly woke Hadan up. Hadan vigilantly got up and looked at it, and saw that there were three people surrounding Wuri trying to subdue it, and the leader was none other than the general of the Southern Song Dynasty - Xia Jing! (To be continued.) )
