Chapter 57: The Pursuit

"Get on your horse and head south!" Xingna quickly gave a drink, and after a moment of inquiry, he was sure that this Tangma was real, and the situation recounted by this Tangma seemed to be inconsistent and suspicious.

The armor soldier who began to be reprimanded by Zhou Wu howled loudly, he was humiliated by Zhou Wu, he endured it in the face of Fourteen Baylor, but it turned out to be a Nikan spy, how could he bear this evil breath.

The Dengzhou special service team pretended to be Zhenyi many times, attacked many times near Yaozhou Fort, and even deceived a small fort and killed all the more than 30 people inside.

Xing Na did not appear here by chance, the most frequent activity of the Dengzhou special service team is between Gaizhou and Yaozhou Fort, he is now stationed in Polo Po, but often sleeps in the wilderness, just to deal with those Dengzhou special forces, has fought twice, and the two sides have suffered casualties.

In Xingna's heart, it has been determined that Na Zhenyi is a special agent from Dengzhou, and he came from the north, maybe he has reconnoitred the direction of Haizhou, or it may be that he went to Polo Po to do bad things such as setting fire to grain, so Xingna must not let him go.

More than a dozen armor soldiers have mounted their horses, their movements are very skillful, they are all the elite of the white flag Azigebel, including eight white armor soldiers, and the rest of the armor soldiers are also the strongest people in the armor soldiers, all of them are fortunate to accept a Niu Lu, all of them are experienced in a hundred battles.

Seeing that Xingna and the others were leaving, he hurriedly said to Xingna: "This master, I am also a soldier, and I can shoot arrows accurately, you take me with you to catch the Nikan spy." ”

Kona turned her head to look at the chatter, her eyes looking at a dead object. The whole body shook as he spoke, and he leaned back slightly. After a while, Xingna said coldly, "You and my two armor soldiers go to Polo Po, if he goes south, he will live in Polo Po, if he mixes in, it is very likely that he will set fire to the grain and grass of Polo Polo, you are most familiar with him, first inform the Alazhen of Polo Polo." Let him tighten his defenses, and then you and my men will go to the fort to make an inventory, and if you let him burn the grain and grass of the Polo pot, I will have your head. ”

There was a scream of the words, and after Xingna finished speaking, he did not delay any longer, his legs clamped the belly of the horse, and more than a dozen fierce cavalrymen rode to the south and chased wildly......

Kona ran at the front. The fine eyes under the helmet exuded a fierce light like a beast, the chatter had already accelerated to Polo Pot with the three armor soldiers, and there were still nine armor soldiers left around Xingna, Xingna didn't know if the spy had accomplices, according to the tactics he knew about the Dengzhou special service team, these Nikans often had some camouflage methods. Most of them can speak a few words of Mongolian or Yi. Xingna didn't know if this spy had accomplices, and if there were, then it was very likely that they were trying to attack the grain and grass in Polo Po and other places in disguise. In Cunna's opinion, securing the Polo Polo's grain depot was the first priority, and only then did he kill the spy.

They searched along the way. Xingna observes the traces on the ground all the way, but even if he is one of the best white-armored soldiers in Houjin. It is impossible to distinguish the hoof prints of the treacherous on the road of countless cows and horses every day, but the grass and branches on the side of the road can give him better instructions. The main direction of Xingna's observation was on the west side, because this was the area where the Dengju special service was active, and if that person wanted to leave the war zone, it would be easiest to go to sea, rather than crossing the heavily guarded front line by land.

"Kona, there's some imprints here." A soldier on the left said loudly.

He turned his head and saw a faint mark in the grass to the east, and he quickly jumped off his horse, finding a few trampling marks in the grass, and another soldier found two broken branches nearby.

"East?" The scar on the corner of Kona's mouth twitched twice, and the mark went very far, not like it was going back for a while, which made Kona hesitate.

Another white armor who checked the hoof prints pressed a few times on the ground, and then said coldly: "There is something on the horse, maybe it is a human or something else." ”

Xingna looked at the east for a moment and said, "The pond horse said that the man had two horses, and there is only one horse's footprints here. ”

Bai Jia over there shook his head and said: "I saw when he passed by, the two horses were sweating profusely, and they all ran over, and the other one may have been thrown by him, even if it is the remaining one, it can't run far." ”

Xingna stood up and looked at the east and said, "You take four people to chase along the east side, pay attention to whether there is an ambush on the road, Ashdar Khan, Huniqi, Dasan'a, and Batu will follow me to the west, and we will meet here half an hour after sunrise tomorrow." ”

The white armor didn't say much, and the five of them immediately followed the trail to the east, and Xingna glanced at the sun in the west, and it was not long before it got dark, and he also beckoned the four people he had just called to get on their horses.

Among the four people he led, only Ashdar Khan was a soldier, and the others were all about thirty white-armored soldiers, it was the peak of experience and physique, these people had been in battle for many years, and they never knew what they were afraid of, Xingna did not doubt their combat strength, but they were not very sure whether they could find the spy, at least for now, the spy made full use of his two-horse advantage, allowing Xingna to divide more than half of the troops, which made the scope of their search smaller.

After entering the field to the west, the withered yellow grass all over the ground slowed down the horse's speed, and the five of them slowly separated, turning into a wide arc, riding and searching to the west under the light of the setting sun, Kona lowered his head, blocked the light of the setting sun, and concentrated on observing the ground around him, hoping to find some traces.

After walking for half a quarter of an hour, a sharp arrow sounded in the distance on the left, and Khina immediately sent out an arrow to the right side, notifying the two people on the right to concentrate, and then galloped over with a pull of the horse's head, only to see Ashdar Khan squatting on the ground, where there was a pile of horse manure, Ashdar Khan saw Khina coming, looked up and said to Khinna: "The horse manure just pulled." ”

Xingna jumped off the horse and squatted next to the pile of horse manure, there were still a little traces of fiddling on the horse manure, Xingna stretched out his finger to push the horse manure away, and after a careful inspection, he said to Ashdar Khan: "I eat a lot of bean food, he made up for the horse before he set off, and look at the grass around." ”

Ashdar Khan soon noticed that there were traces of food on the nearby wild grass, and there was liquid on it, indicating that the horses had just gone far, and at this time the other three people also arrived here, and Cina stood up and shook off the dung from his hands. Then he wiped a few times on the cuff of his left hand, and said with a sneer: "Don't look at the ground again." Just beat the horse and chase it west. ”

The five of them found the traces of the spies, and desperately chased them west, the setting sun in the western sky was slowly sinking into the horizon, and the afterglow of the setting sun was no longer dazzling, outlining the chaotic margins of dead trees, shrubs, and ruined villages in the west.

Luckina's falcon-like eyes kept scanning the western horizon, and if they didn't find the spy before dark, they couldn't find anything in the night.

The other four searched in a fan shape within a hundred paces, and the sun was getting lower and lower. Just as Xingna was about to despair, a vague figure appeared behind the shadow of a bush in the distance ahead.

Kona let out a whistle, and the four men around him quickly approached, and Kona immediately whipped the horse's stock, and the mount rose to its four hooves and galloped, Kona's feet slightly propped up. Riding steadily on the back of a bumpy horse, he looked at the blurred figure in front of him in the shaking, his eyes glowing like a wolf, but his heart was extremely calm, and taking advantage of the time of pursuit, Xingna drew his riding bow with his left hand. His right hand habitually groped along his waist, which was the action he had done to check his armament before the battle, and he felt the arrow plug, the short blade, the throwing axe, and the wooden handle of a short hammer in turn, all where they should be, and the knife marks on the corner of Kona's mouth pulled out an ugly smile......

Poof. Zhou Wu thrust a short knife into the horse's thigh, and the exhausted mount beneath him neighed. exhausted the last body lĂŹ galloped forward a few steps, and finally reached the limit of its body, the four hooves were soft and foaming at the white foam and fell forward, Zhou Wu threw the chain mail he had just taken off to the ground, quickly lifted a blanket and rolled off the horse, and galloped towards a ruined village a hundred steps away.

The distant sunset had sunset into the horizon, leaving a radial halo in the sky. Seeing that success was in sight, he was caught up by the Jiannu Sentinel in the last ray of light. Zhou Wu couldn't help but regret a little in his heart, the biggest loophole was the chatter Tangma, what Zhou Wu said before and after was not consistent, now it should be the group of post-golden armor soldiers on the side of the road chasing after him, if he knew this, Zhou Wu would definitely take that chatter and hurry away, find a place to cut it off.

The chagrin is only for a short moment, Zhou Wu is the all-rounder of the Intelligence Bureau, and he is also the elite of the action team, a firm will is a necessary condition, he remembers Wu Jianzhong's words, do not regret what he has done, and he has more urgent things to deal with immediately.

The sound of horses' hooves came from afar behind him, Zhou Wu adjusted his breathing, and ran back to observe the speed of those cavalrymen, the figures of several Houjin cavalrymen in the twilight were blurred, only the occasional flash of light on their bodies, which allowed Zhou Wu to roughly judge the distance.

He estimated that he had a chance to escape into the village, as long as it was in the dark, these Houjin soldiers could not block such a large village, the wilderness was as dark as ink, and the speed of the cavalry did not have any bravery, this was his chance to escape, and this village was one of the reception points of the special service team, although not every day, but at least there was hope.

Five cavalrymen pursued a man who was running wildly, and Zhou Wu's figure flew through the wilderness quickly, and flocks of birds around him were startled, waving their wings and flying in all directions. In Zhou Wu's shaking vision, the entrance of the village is getting closer and closer, the entrance of the village is a rammed earth straw hut with a collapsed roof, as long as he enters the village, those ruins will become his hiding place, and the sound of horses' hooves behind him is getting closer and closer, Zhou Wu can't care about adjusting his breathing, and raising the speed of running to the highest.

The first cavalryman behind him was within thirty paces, only to hear a bang, Zhou Wu's subconscious head shrank, a light arrow grazed from the shoulder, swished into the grass next to him, and two bowstrings sounded behind him, Zhou Wu turned slightly, dodged an arrow, and his left calf was shocked, and then there was a burst of pain.

Zhou Wu knew that he was shot with an arrow, he was terrible, but he didn't dare to slow down, endured the severe pain and continued to run, at this time the first cavalry behind him was already approaching, Zhou Wu could even hear the sound of the horses panting, he didn't have time to look back, shouted and got up, and plunged into the entrance of the village, his figure just turned into the ruins of the grass hut, and a flying axe spun and flew over the place he had just passed, smashing fiercely on the stones, hitting a small spark.

The cavalry led by choked and drew out his waist knife, followed by Zhou Wu to the entrance of the village, Zhou Wu did not have time to observe, passing by the grass hut when he passed by a section of the exposed wooden pole, the half-collapsed state of the shed roof hulala fell off, fell on the road at the entrance of the village, and the horses behind neighed and the speed was reduced.

The Houjin soldier led by him jumped off the horse, it was Xingna who led the team, the vague back of Zhou Wu in front was still shaking, Xingna jumped from the collapsed grass shed roof, just pulled out the short gun on his waist, and suddenly snorted, the knife marks at the corner of his mouth were pulled out of shape, and his body was tilted to one side.

Xingna jumped and stopped, a sharp pain came from the soles of his feet, Xingna didn't look at it and knew that the iron thistle terrestris in Dengzhou must have been scattered by the spy after pulling down the roof of the grass shed, and the iron thistle should have been placed in the blanket on the spy body.

After such a delay, Zhou Wu had already taken the opportunity to disappear in front, the sound of horses' hooves approaching behind him, and a few Houjin soldiers arrived quickly, Xing Na raised his hand and said: "Don't come here, there is an iron thistle on the ground, Ashdar Khan and Huniqi are guarding outside the village, and the other two are chasing around here, and he can't run far if he is injured." ”

A few people left in response, Xingna only then lifted his left foot, the sole of his foot drilled his heart hurt, Xingna gritted his teeth slightly and pulled out the iron thistle, the blood stained on it was slippery and greasy, the iron was cold in late autumn, Xingna slowly put the iron thistle on the side of his nose, and a smell of horse manure came into his nose.

A cruel smile appeared on Kona's face, and the spy not only escaped from the pursuit, but also set himself a trap, and his reaction was so fast that Kona had never seen it in his life. However, he had a strong physique, and he had been shot twice by an arrow stained with horse dung, and he survived, so he didn't care, which only provoked his anger.

Kona crouched down to squeeze some of the blood out of the soles of his feet, then withdrew a piece of cloth to wrap the soles of his feet, moved forward with his feet against the ground, walked through the dangerous section, and then lifted his feet to chase forward, his movements were only slightly sluggish, and Kona's figure shook a few times on the village road, and disappeared between the rubble.

At this time, the last glimmer of light in the sky finally disappeared, and the wilderness of Gaizhou fell into darkness.
