Chapter 7, I caught up
(Thanks to the book friend "Holy Spirit Flying Feather" for the reward.,There's no need to urge more.,It's a problem to update the bottom every day.,It's good to be able to have more every day for the time being~)
Lu Bu didn't know that there was a man in Luoyang who was missing him, and if he knew him, he would really be creepy; Of course, he's not having a good time right now, and he's worried about other things.
The road of chasing Sun Ce was not as smooth as imagined, and I thought that in the beginning of this journey, even if they had escaped a certain range in order to prevent accidents, they would definitely rivet their strength to continue running, although at this time it must be a person who is sleepy and a corpse will naturally be dragged down, but they have already distanced themselves from each other earlier, even if Lu Bu has identified the target, but after all, they are not as familiar with the path as the other party, and there will inevitably be some deviations on the road, If it weren't for someone to point out, there would have been a few times when it almost went wrong.
What made Lu Bu even more annoying was that he didn't expect to encounter several remnants of the coalition army on the road, and he didn't know who it belonged to, anyway, he almost didn't have much will to fight, but when these guys saw Lu Bu and their group, they thought they were going to hunt them down, the so-called mourning soldiers must win, although these guys can't win, but the power that erupted before dying is really terrifying, that is, Lu Bu and others have spent a lot of effort to solve it, fortunately, the number of people is not very large, otherwise it will be more troublesome, It's just that it just goes back and forth, and the result is that the time on the way is delayed a lot.
Speaking of which, I also have to say that I didn't start immediately at the beginning, and I missed the best opportunity to besiege Sun Ce, so it is not surprising that I will be repeatedly delayed like this now, regret is not counted, after all, there is still time to make up for it, but it is inevitable that I am a little depressed and regretful.
Of course, the speed of Sun Ce and his party itself is not fast, mainly because their horsepower is not good, and they are also very tired and need to rest, plus they are still carrying Sun Jian's corpse and have been dragged down to a certain extent, and the speed is not fast, which also makes Lu Bu catch up with them is not an unattainable dream, and even some time ago it was found that a trace of hurried travel that did not have time to be covered up, of course, it was very shallow at that time.
To be honest, Lu Bu really didn't expect that this time the pursuit would take longer and longer than the pursuit of Cao Cao, and it would be difficult, six or seven days had passed in a row, but he had not yet looked at the shadow of the target of the pursuit, the only thing worth consoling was that he was not walking alone, at least there was a good Ji Zhao to follow - as for Wang Yue, this guy was injured in the leg before, and he was not good at horsepower, so he was not a good candidate for this kind of work.
And it's also because of Ji Zhao, the work of identifying the direction and finding the path along the way is basically handed over to him, this guy once studied under the Mo family and learned the trick, although he only has the skin, but he is also infinitely useful, and the observation of subtle traces, orientation discrimination, etc. are the most basic, it can be said that this time there is a place to use, and it has played a great role in Lu Bu's pursuit and killing work.
And let him feel the closest to the other party, that is, last night, they actually found a trace that looked like the other party had just left the camp, although the traces were also shallow after a certain amount of processing, but according to Ji Zhao's experience and observation when he was wandering in the wild as a ranger, these are the traces left by a group of people who walked for no more than three or four hours, as for whether it is Sun Ce and his party, this may be the only question that is more difficult to determine, because the other party is not stupid, Lu Bu also had to consider whether it was possible to be confused and turn the tiger away, so no matter what, it was safer to stick to the goal he had always identified, although this was due to historical inertia or Lu Bu's own impression. …,
Along the way, Lu Bu's line can be described as wearing the stars and the moon, day and night, all the way is the wind and food and sleeping, and not only simple but also pay attention to speed and efficiency, even eating, drinking and rest are in a hurry, fortunately, from Lu Bu to ordinary soldiers are the elite of the Bingzhou army, and it is not unreasonable for the most elite of the Bingzhou cavalry to be called the so-called wolf cavalry, this way of survival and pursuit is what they are best at, although they are always tired, and they are also very challenging personal limits, but they can basically keep up with the rhythm, Even surviving it can be regarded as a kind of success - Lu Bu even occasionally had a flash of inspiration that this might also be regarded as a training, selecting the most elite among them, I don't know what to do for the time being, anyway, it will definitely be useful to train again.
However, there is another problem that Lu Bu also has to take into account, that is, the place where he is now, this point is that Ji Zhao is also powerless, the direction or probably he can depict it, the specific is really not good, after all, he has never walked here, the ranger said that he traveled all over the world, in fact, it is in Bingzhou, Sizhou, Yuzhou, Youzhou or Jizhou and other places, and here is obviously almost to Yuzhou or even farther, maybe they are out of Yuzhou and close to Yangzhou, after all, so many days at the expense of horsepower, And the target direction is so direct, the distance will definitely not be short.
"Stop and rest!" When he walked to the edge of a dense forest, he couldn't help but show a trace of fatigue when he saw the cavalry behind him dismounting their horses, Lu Bu simply gave the order to stop, this is not the first time, for these elite subordinates Lu Bu is still very cherished, and he can't always let his side be damaged in order to pursue, and if no one helps him, he is not sure that he can face Sun Ce and his party alone, and he can still get Sun Ce to the ground, which is also the reason why he rode the red rabbit horse but was not very fast.
As for Chitu, although this guy is dusty, his eyes are especially bright, and he still looks energetic, but considering that during this period of time, Lu Bu deliberately lowered the speed of his horse in order to accommodate the soldiers behind him, which is not surprising.
I have to say that even the extremely endurance and state cavalry have a feeling that they are on the verge of collapse at any time as time goes on in the face of the crazy chase in the past few days, and as soon as they heard the sound of the order to stop and rest, they were relieved, relaxed and dismounted, and each of them arranged by Ji Zhao to do things, such as finding water and scouting somewhere, this is also the experience of marching and fighting.
Of course, Lu Bu didn't have to do anything, and Ji Zhao also came to him after the arrangement.
At this time, Lu Bu looked at the other side of the dense forest and didn't know where he was looking into the distance, and muttered to himself: "I don't know where I am here, the children and grandchildren of Jiangdong are familiar with them, we are not familiar with them, in case of an ambush trap or something, it will be bad, we still have to be cautious." ”
Of course, you have to be careful, even if Lu Bu doesn't say it, this is also inevitable, when you go to a strange place, people will be vigilant, not to mention that these veterans of the Bingzhou Army who have already gone through the battle formation, there is no need for him to tell Ji Zhao to arrange it, so when he heard this, he just nodded and didn't say anything.
After so many days of pursuit, both physically and mentally exhausted, so Lu Bu also wanted to rest first, but before he could lean on the stone and close his eyes to recuperate, Ji Zhao next to him suddenly let out a startled "Huh", pointed to a place behind Lu Bu and said, "What is this?" ”
Lu Bu blinked his eyes and turned around to look, and there was a light in front of him—it was a row of obvious horseshoe prints—there were people nearby!
