Chapter 231: The End of the Hero
Zhou Tai led dozens of Xiliang cavalry and chased more than a hundred miles west on the muddy road, not even seeing Han Sui's shadow, so he had to turn back and search northwest along the way.
When he was halfway through, he suddenly reported from the Xiliang Army, who was in charge of the search: "General Qiyu, I found Han Sui's traces in the village five miles to the east!" ”
Zhou Tai spat on the ground: "This Han Sui is a fox, obviously seeing him fleeing north, how can he run to the east?" ”
A Xiliang soldier guessed: "Maybe he abandoned his horse soon after leaving the city and walked on foot, and we chased only a war horse that no one rode on?" ”
"You are reasonable" Zhou Tai nodded appreciatively, waved the knife in his hand, and ordered the Xiliang army who reported the news to lead the way: "Go, follow me to capture Han Sui alive, and when the time comes, you will have made a great contribution!" ”
As soon as Zhang Xiu's words fell, he immediately caused dozens of horsemen to laugh, Han Sui and the Ma family's hatred they all knew very well, if they let Han Sui capture Han Sui alive, the merit would be much greater than the meritorious service, and at that moment, everyone swept away the previous fatigue, turned their horses' heads one after another, and galloped towards the village in the east.
On the other side, Han Sui braved the rain to drive forty or fifty miles to the east, he had already dismounted his war horse and walked forward on foot about fifty miles out of the city, and escaped Zhou Tai's pursuit without danger, and had just killed a family in the village, and ate a little hot food, and was discovered by the scouts scattered by Zhou Tai.
Although Han Sui was not strong in force, he was as cunning as a fox, seeing the green wheat fields outside the village, taking advantage of the cover of night, Han Sui pounced into the wheat fields like an agile monkey, waiting for an opportunity to escape.
Soon after he planted himself in the wheat field, he saw dozens of horsemen galloping to the entrance of the village, and then quickly divided into several teams to surround the house where he had just stayed.
Zhou Tai broke into the door and led more than a dozen people to rush in, the whole family. Except for the corpses on the ground and the boiling meat in the pot, Zhou Tai didn't find anything.
Looking at the old man who fell in a pool of blood, Zhou Tai was furious: "Sons, give me a door-to-door search, this old thief can't run far, don't let go of any place." But you must remember that you are not allowed to disturb the people, otherwise don't blame me for being rude! ”
"No!"
Those Xiliang troops shouted a promise, and then dispersed around, and began to search door to door, but they did not let go of anyone who could hide people, but Zhou Tai had an order not to disturb the people in advance, and all the Xiliang troops knocked lightly. It didn't smash around like it used to.
Suddenly, all the soldiers in charge of the search came back dejected, and they all said that they had found no trace of Han Sui.
"Impossible, is this old boy evaporated from the world?" Zhou Tai muttered to himself, then raised his eyes and began to look at the surrounding environment.
The village is located in a valley between three mountains and one valley, surrounded by lush forests except for a neat wheat field in front of it. However, if Han Sui wanted to escape the forest, he had to cross a rather turbulent river. But Han Sui might hide in the gravel on the riverbank.
Thinking of this, Zhou Tai began to assign tasks, except for a few people searching along the riverbank, most of the soldiers and horses began to pour towards the wheat field.
A Xiliang army galloped to Han Sui, and because Han Sui was crawling in the ditch, he was wrapped in the night. The soldier didn't notice Han Sui at all, and just as he turned over and dismounted, about to go down to the ground to search, suddenly Han Sui was like an agile cheetah, and he dragged the Xiliang army off his horse. Then a cold light flashed, and a blood mark immediately appeared on the neck of the Xiliang army, which was "swishing" into his throat.
The movement here immediately attracted everyone's attention, Zhou Tai's eyes lit up, and he shouted: "Han Sui, where are you running?" ”
Han Sui ignored it, got on his horse, and ran along the official road, Zhou Tai was furious, and after leaving a soldier to collect the soldiers killed by Han Sui, he immediately led a large group of men and horses to chase after him.
"Shoot this guy off his horse!" Seeing that the distance was getting farther and farther away, Zhou Tai was worried about chasing Han Sui again, so he immediately changed his strategy and let the soldiers release their arrows.
Dozens of cavalrymen bent their bows and arrows, aiming at Han Sui.
However, the distance between everyone and Han Sui was relatively far, coupled with the muddy roads, the undulating and bumpy horses, and dozens of carved arrows did not even touch Han Sui's hair.
"Bow here!" Glancing at dozens of riders with dissatisfaction, Zhou Tai roared.
After receiving the bow and arrow handed by the soldier, Zhou Tai opened his bow and shot out.
Han Sui was running in a hurry, when suddenly a sharp sound of breaking the sky sounded from behind him, like a meteor.
With a "poof", the sharp arrow penetrated the cloth clothes, hitting Han Sui's left shoulder, and suddenly shot through the blade, and the severe pain made Han Sui gasp, but he did not fall off the horse, but still ran wildly with one hand on his injured shoulder, but the speed was much slower than before, making Zhou Tai and him closer and closer.
A vigorous sound of horses' hooves came from far and near, hundreds of war horses galloped over, and a general was majestic, holding an iron spear and shouting: "The lord is panicking, the Zhou Dynasty is here!" ”
When Han Sui heard that it was the Zhou Dynasty, he was overjoyed at the moment, and he immediately exclaimed: "Zhou Dynasty save me!" ”
In the blink of an eye, Han Sui rode alone and joined the hundreds of horsemen led by the Zhou Dynasty, pointed at the short knife in his hand, and scolded sharply: "The peak is turning, you don't want to get away today!" ”
Today is the day when he Han Sui is embarrassed, and the initiator of all this is Zhou Tai opposite, so no matter what, Zhou Tai can't be let go alive.
But Zhou Tai didn't think so, holding the knife and laughing: "Han Sui, you want to kill me with hundreds of horses?" In my eyes, they are nothing more than bricks and tiles! ”
A cold light flashed in Han Sui's eyes, and he pointed at Zhou Tai and ordered at Zhou Chao: "Kill him." ”
When the Zhou Dynasty heard this, he did not carry out Han Sui's order, but admonished in a low voice: "Lord, let's retreat, the enemy will pursue after us!" ”
"Whose soldiers?"
"Cheng Yu and Cheng Gongying's soldiers and horses, they have already broken through Yuzhong two days ago, and they are leading their troops to chase this side at this time!"
Han Sui pursed his lips and immediately ordered: "Go east!" ”
Zhou Chao was shocked: "Lord, there are Cheng Yin and Cheng Gongying in the east, we went over, didn't we throw ourselves into the net?" ”
Han Sui didn't say anything, turned his head and left, because as long as he knew that it was safest to go east, now he was embattled, only there was a glimmer of life in the east, Cheng Yin and Cheng Gongying, Han Sui understood them, Cheng Yin was a two-sided and three-sword, although he was a general of Ma Teng, but he wanted to break away from Ma Teng all the time, the mercenaries defended themselves, and Cheng Gongying was loyal, even if he was wrong at the beginning, Cheng Gongying might look at the previous sake and let himself have a way out.
Zhou Chao saw Han Sui walking farther and farther, so he left one hundred and ten horses and rushed towards Han Sui.
Zhou Tai grinned, looked at the hundred and ten horsemen standing in front of him, and did not order to rush and kill, but waited for them to retreat, and led people to follow slowly, so that the distance between the two sides was only two hundred steps.
Han Sui ran wildly along the way, and collided with a large army head-on at a bend, led by two generals with a wave of their broadswords, ordering the army to stop advancing.
Han Sui naturally looked at the thousands of troops in front of him, and greeted the two generals: "General Cheng, Chenggong, long time no see!" "The first two generals are the Beidi Taishou Cheng Gongying and the Anding Taishou Cheng Yin.
"Han Sui" A hint of terror flashed in Cheng Yin's eyes, and his eyes glanced at the person behind Cheng Gongying from time to time.
Han Sui didn't notice Cheng Yin's abnormality, and said with a smile: "It's Han, can the two generals be okay?" ”
Cheng Gongying pursed his lips and didn't speak, while Cheng Yin pointed a gun at him: "Han Sui, I was about to arrest you when I stepped on the shoes, but I didn't think that you would fall into the net." ”
Han Sui heard Cheng Yin's words with a hint of murderous aura, and saw that he didn't look like he was lying, and said unhurriedly: "General Cheng, have you forgotten the agreement between us?" ”
Cheng Yin panicked in his heart, and immediately interrupted Han Sui: "Traitor, are you still talking nonsense when you are dying?" Eat Me a Shot"
The agreement between Han Sui and Cheng Yin was that when Han Sui attacked Ma Teng, Cheng Yin refused to send troops, as long as Han Sui controlled Xiliang, he would hand over the three counties of Hanyang, Beidi, and Anding to Cheng Yin to take care of, which is why Cheng Yin refused to send troops to rescue Ma Teng.
When he saw Han Sui, he was about to tell the truth, and he was afraid in his heart, and he was about to stab Han Sui to death.
He was fast, someone was faster than him, only to see a general flash behind Cheng Gongying, slashing at Cheng Yu's horse's head, Cheng Yu was shocked, immediately reined in the war horse, stared at the man and shouted dissatisfiedly: "General Pang, what do you mean?" ”
"Hmph, what do you mean? Han Sui is the enemy of the lord, and he should be sent by the lord himself, when will it be your turn? Pang De glanced at Cheng Yu and didn't give him face at all.
Everyone can see that Cheng Yu is suspected of murder by doing this.
Han Sui was not surprised by Pang De's appearance, from the beginning of the conversation with Cheng Yin, he knew that someone was hiding in the army of the two, otherwise Cheng Yin would not have talked to him like that, and Cheng Gongying would not have said nothing.
After scolding Cheng Yin, Pang De turned around and pointed at Han Sui and scolded angrily: "Han Sui, now you are not arrested?" ”
Han Sui was silent for a while, and suddenly raised his head and laughed: "Tied up? Pound, you underestimate me too much, how can I let you be captured and humiliated? ”
After laughing, Han Sui wiped the short knife in his sleeve on his neck, and at first only a blood mark appeared on his neck, and then it began to spill blood, looking like a water tank full of water, and then the blood spurted out in an instant like a burst water pipe.
Han Sui's body twitched on the horse's back, and fell straight down the horse, the Zhou Dynasty behind him knew that there was no hope of survival, picked up the knife and dismounted, knelt next to Han Sui's corpse and pulled out the knife to kill himself, the remaining hundreds of horsemen glanced at each other, and then they all dismounted, stepped forward to surround Han Sui and Zhou Chao in the center, and then pulled out the knife around his waist and put it on his neck: "Huangquan Road is fierce, we are willing to light the lamp for the Lord to explore the way!" After speaking, they both slaughtered themselves around Han Sui. (To be continued......)
