Chapter 7: All the way to escape
The ridge was narrow, Song Nian's horse couldn't run fast, but the Hu people behind were chasing more and more tightly, just when Song Nian was flustered and ready to beat the horse to accelerate, there was a neighing and screaming behind him.
It turned out that a Hu person was in a hurry to catch up with Song Nian, rode a horse and jumped up a dirt slope first, but he didn't think that the soil layer was soft and collapsed directly.
He even rolled down with his men and horses, and turned his back with the people of Hu Ren who were chasing behind.
This delayed for a while, the distance between the two sides became farther and farther away, and the person who fell down before was extremely seriously injured, causing the later Hu people to become more and more constrained.
Seeing that the distance was getting farther and farther away, and he was dozens of feet away from Hu Ren, Song Nian's heart was relieved. The ridge ahead suddenly became wider.
Originally, the topography of this area was a high loess plateau, and these mountains were caused by the rainwater washing of the loess plateau.
And now the place where Song Nian ran to is a relatively flat piece of this series of terraces.
The local border people also call this kind of terrain "塬", which is an extremely rare terrain.
When the Hu people behind him saw this scene, they all screamed excitedly.
The man at the head was even more majestic, driving the horses and chasing them wildly in this direction.
Song Nian was frightened and urged the horse again and again, but he couldn't care about the horsepower, and urged the horse to gallop.
At this time, the distance between the two sides is dozens of zhang, and if you run fast, you can catch up with just a stick of incense.
Chu He lay on Song Nian's back, suddenly cut the belt that bound the two with a knife, and said in a low voice: "Go into the ravine." ”
Song Nian gritted his teeth, turned his horse's head, and rushed towards the ravine below.
This is extremely dangerous.
Fortunately, the grass was abundant below, and although the horses rushed down the hillside, they did not suffer any harm.
Soil erosion near the plateau is not severe, and there are many trees and dense grass, making it increasingly difficult to track.
Using this effort, the two sides have opened up a lot of distance.
Chu He suddenly whispered: "The horse's physical strength is not enough, let's jump down together." ”
Song Nian gritted his teeth, nodded, and told Su Qi'er again.
Then Song Nian and Chu He jumped off their horses, rolled in the grass for a few times, and landed safely.
On the other side, Su Qi'er did the same, and easily dismounted, and stabbed the horse in the buttocks, so that the horse was frightened and ran faster.
"Hide!"
Chu He took the three of them and shrank into the ravine on the side.
This is the terrain formed by the erosion of the loess platform by rain, and it is very easy to hide.
The three of them burrowed into a ravine and hid into the depths.
Soon after, a hurried sound of horses' hooves was heard outside, passing through the ravine.
Song Nian glanced at Chu He and asked in a low voice, "What now?" ”
Chu He smiled weakly: "It's okay, as long as we go west again, close to the periphery of these mountains, we will definitely be able to get out......"
……
Baran and the others chased them for a long distance, and only then did they slowly find two steaming horses.
But at this time, they had already run out for nearly a mile, and the ditches here were deep and dense, and a group of Hu people could only return the same way and began to look for them in various ravines.
After all...... That's an inexhaustible miracle medicine......
……
To the west, to the west, over the mountains, over the grass, through the woods......
The grass and trees around him are getting thinner and thinner, the dried meat on his body is getting less and less, and Chu He's body is getting worse and worse.
Song Nian and Chu He had an extremely tacit understanding and did not try to go around from the southeast.
Although they didn't see a single Hu person, Chu He and Song Nian could still clearly feel that the Hu people were quietly approaching.
After turning over a mountain col again, Chu He suddenly grabbed Song Nian.
Ahead, three Hu people were on the hillside in front, riding horses and looking around.
Song Nian's heart sank.
Obviously, the Hu people predicted the escape route of the three people, so they sent people from other places to arrive here in advance and intercept the three people.
"Master...... What to do? Su Qi'er scratched his head in distress, he didn't know the seriousness of the problem.
Song Nian bit his lip and thought quickly.
Song Nian...... You go, seduce them......" Chu He said weakly.
"Me? Entice? Song Nian looked at himself, he ran for his life repeatedly, and he was dirty, how could he be tempted?
Chu He gasped and said, "Wait a minute, I'll climb up the tree, and you lure these Hu people to come and arrest you." I'll shoot them straight out of the book so we can have horses to travel......"
Song Nian smiled awkwardly, this guy misunderstood.
Then, she helped Chu He climb the tree, and Chu He's body was much lighter.
But...... Even if it's a sick number, it has to be wasted, and Song Nian can't beat any Hu person.
Chu He cleaned up Song Nian.
Song Nian nodded, first arranged for Su Qi'er to hide, and then hurriedly ran out of the bushes, as if he didn't see the Hu people in front of him.
The movement was too loud, and the branches and leaves of the bushes swayed, which immediately attracted the attention of these Hu people.
Several Hu people were immediately overjoyed and hurriedly rushed over.
Song Nian was stunned for a moment, this is not pretending, but she is really too tired.
Seeing that Hu Ren had run halfway through, she reacted, hurriedly turned around, ran into the bushes, and ran directly to the woods behind.
Three horses jumped into the forest and rushed straight to Song Nian.
I don't know how those Hu people discussed, but they seemed to know that Song Nian was different from others, so they didn't come up and use the knife, but took out the ring on the horse, as if they wanted to capture Song Nian alive.
At this moment, Chu He swooped down from the tree, and with a flash of cold light in his hand, he knocked down a Hu man, and then on horseback, he rose into the air and hit the second Hu man.
In the end, the ring in the hand of the Hu man was thrown directly, and Chu He knocked down the two people one after another, and he had no strength to dodge, so he was trapped.
The bearded man smirked, pulled the leash, turned the horse's head and rushed out of the woods.
Immediately, the Chu River was dragged on the ground and rolled repeatedly.
Seeing that the Hu people were about to rush out of the woods and completely drag away the Chu River, Song Nian was very anxious.
At this moment, on the outermost tree, Su Qi'er suddenly jumped on the horse's back, inserted the knife in his hand into Hu Ren's neck, and then jumped off the horse.
The Hu man was originally pulling the rope with both hands, completely forgetting how to resist Su Qi'er, and could only scream a few times, and then fell down in anger.
It's just that the poor horse still galloped wildly, dragging Chu He out for two or three feet, and the angry Hu fell off the horse.
Having lost its owner, the horse also wandered and stopped.
Song Nian hurriedly went up to help Chu He.
Chu He struggled and said, "Let's go, get on the horse quickly, the Hu people should be chasing after you." ”
Song Nian suddenly realized that these Hu people should just rush to intercept them, a large group of Hu people...... It seems that he already knows the identity of her and Chu He, and he will definitely flock here.
The three horses were led into the woods and tied up, and Song Nian helped Chu He onto the horse.
