Chapter 250: Tailgating
After explaining to Solka, Qin Dong slipped out of his house, and in the following three days, Qin Dong generally hid in the grove outside the city with the guards, and only entered the city at night every day to meet with the spies hiding around Modo, and learned about Modo's movements from there, he had no one around Lored, so he couldn't know the specific situation of Lored, but if Lorid wanted to implement the plan to kill Odoasse and blame the northern envoy, he had to find Modo's cooperation, so Qin Dong thought that as long as he stared at Modo, It's like staring at Loreid.
On the fourth day, Qin Dong got news from Solka, it is said that the envoy from the north asked to see Edika again and promised to win him over, and Odoaser also said a few good words on the side, but Edika was not moved, but directly drove the messenger out, and the northern envoy was very angry when he left.
This news was known to Modo, who conspired with Lored, Modo is the landlord of Saidika, although Edika has always been loyal to the Hun Empire, but in the final analysis, Edika is not a Hun, and Modo is not very at ease with him, so he has installed his own people around him early, after Edika spread the news of the northern envoy to Modo's ears, Modo didn't think it was an opportunity at first, and it wasn't until another news reached his ears that he realized that the real opportunity had come.
Another piece of news that Mordo received was that Odoasse was preparing to leave for Montana in the northwest the next morning, and that a thousand Skill cavalry from Edika would be stationed in Montana.
Modo felt that this was a good opportunity to intercept Odoaser halfway, so he immediately went to talk to Lored. The two hid in the secret room and discussed for a long time, and finally decided to set up an ambush in Belco, fifty miles away from Montana, and immediately killed Odoase as soon as he appeared.
There is not only one way to get from Sedica to Montana via Belco, but this one is the closest. If Odoaser had not received the news that someone was going to ambush him at Belco, he would have gone that way, and if he had not gone that way, he would have known that someone was going to kill him.
That night, Qin Dong entered the city and contacted the spies hiding around Mo Duo and got a rough plan for the conspiracy of Mo Duo and Lored, although it was not very detailed, but Qin Dong also knew a rough idea after speculation. After thinking about it, he decided to go to Belko with the guards the next morning.
Early the next morning, Qin Dong sent people into the city to sell some fabric, and after buying the fabric, he gave each person a horse and let all the soldiers of the escort wrap the cloth on their bodies. Especially the face, he can't let himself and his guards soldiers be recognized, otherwise he will be in big trouble.
After all the preparations were made, Batu, who was monitoring at the gate of the city, saw Odoaser riding dozens of people out of the city on war horses and immediately came over to report to Qin Dong. Qin Dong immediately ordered everyone to get on their horses and go out of the grove to chase Odoase and the others.
More than an hour passed. Qin Dong stopped at a three-way intersection and saw a small hill next to him, so he ordered a few people to go up to see if they could see which way Odoyase and the others went.
A soldier who was sent to reconnoiter on the hill quickly gestured on the hill, and Batu reported to Qin Dong when he saw it: "My lord, the scouts on the hill said that dozens of cavalrymen were found galloping on horseback on the left fork in the road, and it was only three or four miles away from us!" ”
After hearing this, Qin Dong immediately waved his hand: "We have three hundred cavalry, if we gallop collectively." The movement is too loud, and it is easy to be spotted by Odoase in front. Command all men to move forward".
The speed of the horse is not as fast as the speed of the horse, but it has two advantages that it will not cause too much momentum and last for a long time, and it will not be found by the people in front of it for a few miles, and the horse is fast, but it generally does not last, and the horse must rest and eat forage after running for a period of time. Therefore, they were riding horses and galloping at high speed all the way, and they had to stop and rest after running for an hour or two, and when they were resting, Qin Dong and the others were still walking forward, so Qin Dong and the others were always hanging not far behind Odoase.
To get to Montana and take the nearest road, you must cross the western section of the Balkan Mountains, and you can reach Belko through a canyon in the middle, which is actually the most suitable ambush in the canyon from the terrain point of view, but both sides are cavalry, for this kind of infantry work, cavalry has limited lethality in this terrain, and it is difficult to go up the mountain in the canyon, and it is not easy to ambush, so Modo and Lored decided to set up an ambush in Belko.
After chasing all the way for two hours, Qin Dong and the others arrived at the mouth of a canyon leading to the north in the western section of the Balkan Mountains, Mijul Mountain, Qin Dong stopped his horse and turned over and dismounted and squatted on the ground to feel the horses' hoof prints in the snow on the road, and then ordered: "Send a few scouts into the canyon to investigate, until the other exit of the canyon, if you don't find anything suspicious, come back and report immediately!" ”
"Yes!" Batu agreed, and immediately sent a team of scouts into the valley.
At this time in the canyon, Odoase was running in front on horseback, and he found that there was an exit not far ahead, and at this time the snowflakes drifting in the sky had stopped, so he turned back and shouted: "Brothers, work hard, the front is the exit, after the exit, we will walk four or five miles to Belco, we will rest in Belco, and the people of Montana will send two hundred men to pick us up!" ”
"Great!" The knights in the back shouted in response.
The speed through the canyon is very fast, Odoyase and others quickly out of the canyon, in the canyon because of the high cliffs on both sides, it is very oppressive, very uncomfortable, out of the valley mouth to feel comfortable.
Thinking that he would soon receive a thousand cavalry, and that it was still a relatively elite iron cavalry, Odoaser was so excited that he couldn't help but shout: "Ahhhh
"Oh-" Seeing Odoaser so happy, many people in the team couldn't help but shout.
Four or five miles away, the horses arrived quickly, and after ten minutes Odoaser and the others arrived at Berko, a village, where some Slavs lived, and Odoyase and the others entered the village to find that the village was empty, but the doors were closed.
This situation made Odoaser and the others a little puzzled, and soon Odoaser sensed that something was wrong, and he found a large number of horseshoe prints on the snow on the road in the village.
Odoaser squatted on the ground and touched a horseshoe print, and thought to himself, no, why are there so many horseshoe prints here? Could it be that the cavalry on Montana's side came to meet them in advance? No, it shouldn't be so early, I said that we would meet here at noon, it's not yet noon, they can't come so early, is it ......?
Odoaser instantly realized the danger, and he immediately got up and shouted: "Quick, everyone get on the horse, let's get out of here!" ”
With a whoosh, an arrow came at him, and Odoase was very alert, and he quickly dodged sideways, but one of his clansmen behind him did not have the skill of him, and the arrow hit the man in the chest.
Odoase's men were a little panicked, and they kept turning to observe the situation around them, and soon they noticed that there were cavalrymen from unknown places around the entrance of the village and many of the surrounding houses.
These cavalrymen were all dressed in black clothes and black scarves, and soon surrounded Odoase and the others in the middle, although Odoyase and the others had already mounted their horses, but they could not break through now, both sides showed their weapons, the air seemed to smell of blood, and a large number of vultures flew in the sky, these vultures seemed to have known that death was about to happen here, so they flew in and waited for a good meal.
One of the black knights who surrounded Odoaser came out and pointed a scimitar at Odoase: "Drop your weapons and live!" Otherwise, you're all going to die! ”
When the besieged knights heard this, they all looked at Odoase, who looked at the knights who surrounded them with a solemn expression, and he thought that if these people were not trustworthy and suddenly killed when they put down their weapons, wouldn't they die and have no place to be buried? He also thought that Montana would soon send two hundred cavalry to meet him and others, and if they could hold out until the cavalry came to meet them, they would be saved.
Can if you don't surrender now, the other side will definitely attack, what to do? Odoaser observed the terrain of the surrounding houses, he soon found that there was a stone house built on a high place not far away, if he could occupy the stone house, he would have enough confidence to hold on until the cavalry team rushed over, and now there was only one way, the horses were tired, and the other party did not know how long they had been in ambush here, their horses had enough body, but their horses could no longer run, the only way was to break through and rush to the stone house on that high place, occupy where to wait for reinforcements to arrive.
Odoaser immediately shouted: "Brothers, rush out with me and kill!" ”
"Kill!" The others were loyal people, and they all shouted and rode after Odoaser to kill him.
"Hmph, I don't know whether I live or die, I'm dying and thinking about fighting back! The third team blocked the entrance and end of the village, and the first and second teams killed me! The black-clad masked man yelled at Odoaser with his scimitar.
"Hah!" The two leaders rushed to kill each other, and by the way, Odoase's original intention was not to entangle with these people, but to rush out and flee to a high stone house to hold on, so he did not fight with the masked leader, and after the two horses crossed Odoas, Odoaser was fine, but the black-clothed masked man was slightly injured, and he was injured in the arm by Odoase's great sword.
Odoaser rushed out with a lot of people, but half of them were not so lucky, they were entangled by these black-clothed masked men, and the leader of the masked men saw that he was wounded, so Odoaser ran away with half of them, and immediately ordered: "The first team surrounds them, no one is left, and the second team chases me!"
