Chapter Seventy-Eight: It Seems Not Too Late for the Sleepy Bird to Get Out of Its Cage

"Our Qingdian Cavalry sent 6,000 men and horses to conduct a dragnet search in the area where the target might pass, and found the target's trace two hundred and fifty miles northwest of Fengman City. The 100-captain was wounded after a fierce fight with the other party and died later, and the two sneaked through the blockade in the night before the arrival of the Qingdian cavalry reinforcements, and disappeared again. ”

"It is expected that the target has continued to move south, directly south of Mengchongling, less than 400 miles from the border. Qingdian rides the duty, dare not leave without permission, I hope that Zhao Gongzi knows. Yu has ordered the departments south of Fengmancheng to send additional manpower to search closely to help Zhao Gongzi. ”

Zhao Gongzi looked at the secret letter sent by Qiu Yusheng, the commander of the Qingdian Cavalry in his hand, and cursed the old fox in his heart. This Qiu Yusheng was obviously coping, but he said how impassioned he was, and he thought about him. Six thousand? It would be nice if he could send six hundred!

However, being able to obtain Shi Zhiyi's exact location is also a big gain, and chasing Shi Zhiyi is his own task in itself, so Zhao Gongzi can't blame Qiu Yusheng and ask for more.

"Order the pro-guard battalion, the third and fourth teams dismount and stand by, the first and second teams are lightly armed and equipped with two horses, accelerate with me, and be sure to intercept them before the target enters the wild forest!"

"Young Master Zhao, for the sake of safety, should we wait for Captain Meng Wan and a few other legions, or let the Qingdian Cavalry send a few more masters over?"

When Beigong Zhao received the news about Shi Zhiyi from Meng Yinchu, the commander of the Fourth Army, he happened to be in the southeast of Feng'an City, so he didn't wait for the other legions to concentrate, so he took the four hundred men and horses of the personal guard battalion, rode lightly, and took the lead in chasing south.

At this time, most of the Fourth Army Corps, which was closest to Beigong Zhao, was still more than two hundred miles north of them, while the other three Army Corps were even farther away from him, still nearly five hundred miles away.

"Do you still need to dispatch tens of thousands of people to catch two little guys who have not dried up? When they arrive, these two people will have already run away!" Beigong Zhao was bent on catching Shi Zhiyi at this moment, and scolded angrily: "Not to mention the Qingdian riding side, Qiu Yusheng has already dealt with the matter, and when he sends someone again, I'm afraid the daylily will be cold!"

"But what if ......"

"What's in case? Two guys who are just out of the dust realm can still fly to the sky? It is estimated that he barely won a centurion in the middle of the dawn at most by relying on the advantage of the blade, and this son is out of the horse, and it is not a matter of being able to catch it!"

The head of the family, Beigong Yixiao, gave Beigong Zhao seven days, and now it has run out, fortunately, he has now found the traces of Shi Zhiyi again, as long as he kills him, he can still make up for his crimes, if Shi Zhiyi is allowed to run away again, I am afraid that Beigong Zhao himself will not know how to explain to his uncle.

Under the leadership of Beigong Zhao, two hundred cavalry of the Gale Cavalry Guard Battalion, one man and two horses, passed through Mengchong Ridge overnight and chased south.

......

......

The sun rises in the east, and the sky after the rain looks exceptionally fresh.

Greedily taking a deep breath of the grassy air, Shi Zhiyi ended his morning class.

It's not that Shi Zhiyi is still practicing diligently on the way to escape, but that his mount ran all the way last night, running for two or three hundred miles, and in the early hours of the morning, it was on the verge of collapse.

Shi Zhiyi had no choice but to dismount and rest near a small forest, at this time, he missed the black horse with the blood of a divine beast that he met yesterday. If it were a different place, I'm afraid I would be able to enter the Savage Forest by now, right?

Shi Zhiyi originally wanted to call Yi Ning out for breakfast together, but when his mind entered the bronze ring space, he saw that Yi Ning's body was like a cat, his body shrunk into a ball, and he was sleeping soundly.

Even in the gray space where there is no sun, the delicate face of the county lord of Yi Ning still looks transparent and moist, and it can be broken by blowing. Perhaps because she felt a little cold, she clasped her hands tightly in front of her chest, and a faint amber glow peeked out from between her fingers.

Beneath her, there was a huge bed of gold bricks and bars, presumably the work she had made last night when she was bored. Lively by nature, she forced herself to stay in this dark space, and fiddling with those gold bricks and building blocks became the only way for her to pass the time and dispel her worries.

The long journey and non-stop fighting along the way were too hard for her family, a girl with fine clothes and fine food, so Shi Zhiyi did not wake her up, hoping that she could sleep peacefully.

What happens when you wake up?

Shi Zhiyi led the war horse that was grazing with his head bowed on the side, and was about to turn over and ride up, when he suddenly felt a faint vibration from the ground under his feet.

After a year of training in the Moonswinging Dragoon, he didn't need to distinguish further, and he easily confirmed that this kind of vibration came from the cavalry of the brigade. Even the number of cavalry, he could roughly perceive it.

"Have you finally been caught up?"

Shi Zhiyi estimated that he was still about 100 miles away from the border between Yongzhou and the Wild Forest, and if the mount was energetic, it would only take half a day to arrive, but with the current state of this war horse, I am afraid that it would not be able to run dozens of miles before it would be caught up by the pursuers behind him.

Since the battle is inevitable, it is better to choose the battlefield yourself than to respond passively!

Shi Zhiyi slapped the war horse's buttocks, the war horse was in pain, and continued to run south.

And Shi Zhiyi's figure disappeared into the woods.

Two hundred gale riders, one man and two horses, were arranged in the shape of goose wings, like a large net spread out, whistling across the field.

Passing through the woods on a small hillside, the team slowed down in order to be able to carefully search the entire forest so that the target would not take refuge in the dense forest.

The speed plummeted, but the formation of the entire team was still not chaotic, showing that the Gale Cavalry was well-trained, worthy of one of the two main cavalry corps in Yongzhou.

As soon as the cavalry on the right flank entered the forest, they heard a shout from the middle: "Target found, five miles ahead!"

In an instant, the speed of the entire guard battalion increased again, and the cavalrymen clenched their spears in their hands, ready to ride in front, even men and horses, and stab them into a honeycomb!

Beigong Zhao, who was at the head of the entire team, was even more fast, and in his eyes, I don't know whether it was due to exhaustion or anger, he had completely turned bloody!

That scene in the belly of the mountain was a shame that he had never had in his life! The dignified son of the Beigong family was actually toyed with between the metacarpal bones by a stinky boy! If he was not tortured to death, it was difficult to calm the resentment in his heart!

In addition to his anger, he couldn't help but have a trace of doubt in his heart: "Baichen Ancestor, where did he go, why hasn't there been any news yet?"
