Chapter 5: Escape

The next day, the sky was white, and the dawn on the Gobi Desert in midsummer came very early.

Bao Yuanqian and his entourage of 16 people took two more Northern Yuan captives and set off early, heading towards Jiayuguan, which was 100 miles away.

Along the way, this group of rough men were in a good mood, and yesterday's unhappiness disappeared with a bubble of night incense in the early morning.

When they returned with a full load, they were in high spirits, singing and dancing on horseback, as if they were the nomads who could sing and dance, and they were speechless for a while when they saw the two Sarenya tied to the horse team behind them.

Although they buried many treasures in their marked places yesterday, they could not hide the food, and could only be scattered on dozens of horses, so they walked very slowly.

The march on the desert Gobi is not like the Guannei, the same yellow sand Gobi, the sand dunes are weathered rocks, it is very easy to go around in circles, and the road of more than 100 miles has not reached the city of Jiayuguan for two hours.

Bao Yuanqian is also used to it, the march outside the border is like this, even if there is the most senior living map, it may not be how fast.

Looking at the yellow sand of the wilderness on all sides, one after another, it was extremely desolate, and the sun rose overhead again, scorching the place where the birds did not.

"Eh, there's a wolf up ahead!" , everyone was joking, and one person had sharp eyes, pointing to the Gobi weathered rock not far ahead.

Bao Yuanqian looked fixedly, and sure enough, there were more than a dozen desert wolves under the weathered rock, looking at his group cautiously.

"Liu Sandao, why don't you and I try to see who shoots more wolves, and after the loser enters the customs, invite us to Juyanfang to eat and drink, how about it?!"

One of the sergeants, with a full face of meat, drew out the Kaiyuan bow on the side of his crotch and said provocatively.

Liu Sandao said disdainfully: "I haven't given the wine I owed Lao Tzu last time, and I want to pay it on credit again?" Second Tiger, you still have to practice this archery. ”

"Yes, Brother Tiger, don't be ugly with your three-legged cat archery. It's better to learn from Bao Tartar, among the dozen or so of us, in terms of riding and archery skills, he is really the best. ”

The second tiger had a sideways face, and when he saw that someone looked down on him, he said as soon as his temper came: "Shao Teniang's dog eyes look down on people, and the tiger master will show you what archery is today!" ”

After that, the arrow is wound and the horse is about to shoot the horse and go towards the wolves.

Bao Yuanqian immediately used his fingernails to pick at the shredded dried meat embedded between his teeth, he was originally a melon eater and watched a play, and he was just trying to see the two tigers and Liu Sandao fighting, and he was trying to arch the fire.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the words came to his mouth, he seemed to notice something, and his face changed.

"Brother Tiger, wait, there's a situation!"

Bao Yuanqian stopped the two tigers who wanted to shoot the horse, and turned his head to look at the rear.

I saw that I couldn't see anything else except the yellow sand in the rear.

"Bao Tartar, what are you sick again?"

"Special Niang's will add to the chaos, and the next time you come out to fight the tooth sacrifice, you won't come out with Lao Tzu."

Several people looked at Bao Yuanqian dissatisfied.

Bao Yuanqian didn't pay any attention to what they said, and hurriedly dismounted and ran behind, passing through dozens of horses carrying goods.

Bao Yuanqian pounced on him with a 'whoosh', listening to the ground, and the hot surface made his ears red.

But Bao Yuanqian's heart was not here, he just listened quietly.

Suddenly, Bao Yuanqian got up, turned his head and waved his hand violently, and shouted at everyone: "North! There is a large group of mounted cavalry attacking, more than 100 horsemen!! Run!! ”

After saying that, he charged, rushed back to his horse, stepped on the horse, and shouted to the people who were still stunned: "If you don't leave, you will all die!" ”

"Ahh , Bao Yuanqian's face was like gravity, and he was knocked off the horse with a punch.

"Damn, I've put up with you long enough, every time I'm bad, I'm here besides a few of us who still have eggs!"

Liu Sandao's eyes widened, staring at Bao Yuanqian.

Bao Yuanqian looked up and saw that it was Liu Sandao who punched him, his cheeks hurt and the corners of his mouth were bleeding. grabbed Bao Butong, who was about to go up and beat people, now is not the time to deal with Liu Sandao.

Bao Yuanqian looked at the calm yellow sand behind him, and said to Boss Gao: "Brother Gao, believe me, if you don't leave, it's too late!" ”

He discovered this ability after he occupied this body, and after searching for his memory, he found out that this ability was called listening to hooves, but he could detect abnormalities two or three miles away from the cavalry of the brigade.

This requires innate talent and acquired training, which is unique in ten thousand, and the former owner of Bao Yuanqian's body obviously has this prerequisite, and the acquired after tomorrow has been cultivated by Uncle Bao, and his ability to listen to hooves can be said to be unique.

Bao Yuanqian looked at Brother Gao's solemn expression in the distance, only to hear Brother Gao say expressionlessly: "I'm afraid, it's too late....."

Bao Yuanqian's heart was not good, and he suddenly looked back, only to see a large black shadow appearing densely on the yellow sand line that closed with the sky!!

The Ming army was shocked, this time there was no need for Bao Yuanqian to listen with his ears, and when he opened his eyes, he knew that it was a hundred horsemen who said that it was too little!!

This wave of cavalry is obviously different from the group of cavalry yesterday, this group of people is wearing a full set of iron armor, not Luo Huan armor, even the horses are also wearing armor, and they are elite at a glance!

"Separate runs!!"

didn't wait for the order of the high boss, the others were not stupid, they had already scattered the horses and galloped wildly, as for the horses and heavy food in the rear, no one cared about it at all.

These hundreds of Varat cavalry rushed head-on, and just a round of arrow rain was enough to drink a pot of their own!

This is different from their ambush of the Warat cavalry, they took advantage of the terrain to preemptively weaken the number of two groups by surprise, and finally took the advantage of wearing iron armor, 16 dozen and more than 30 before they took it.

Now it is two completely different situations, in the wilderness, hundreds of elite cavalry are rushing head-on, and it would be good to be able to achieve a one-to-one exchange ratio!

Bao Butong saw that his companions had run away, and he was about to pull Bao Yuanqian and run away.

But he didn't expect to be dragged down by Bao Yuanqian, pointing to the two people on horseback behind him, and he understood in an instant.

"Don't use the bamboo basket to draw water!"

Bao Yuanqian rode on the horse tied to Sa Renya, and Bao Butong also tacitly took Nabi Chetho, and the two turned and galloped eastward.

"That's the cavalry of Ugqi Hashkha! They caught me back!! Sarenya looked behind on horseback, and the overwhelming cavalry swept in, and her wheat-colored cheeks were slightly pale.

"How the hell do I know I'm here to arrest you, this trip is bloody and unlucky!"

Bao Yuanqian ran hard while grinning, desperately sandwiching the horse's belly with his feet, the horse's belly was about to be broken by his two legs, the horse was in pain, and he ran even harder!!

But Rao is like this, the rear of the Warat cavalry is also gradually approaching, these Warat cavalry are well-trained, good at galloping horses, and even worse, the two of them are a horse, which greatly increases the weight of the horses.

Between the advantages of the other, the distance has been stretched very close!

Bao Yuanqian looked back, and saw that the Warat cavalry in the rear was divided into more than 30 people chasing him and Bao Butong, and the distance had been shortened to about 200 meters.

At this distance, some powerful shooters can shoot themselves with a big pound bow!

But fortunately, it was on a horse at this time, and there was still a huge gap between the horse bow and the foot bow in terms of shooting distance!

After running wildly for a long time, the Warat cavalry in the rear got closer to the two of them, all of them with bows and arrows, drawn in the shape of a full moon, and the bowstring sounded loudly, throwing them diagonally upward, shooting at the backs of the two people!

More than 20 arrows followed the horse's hooves, I don't know how many arrows were inserted in the yellow sand, and even a few arrows grazed the horse's tail and went down, if you run like this, the next round of arrow rain and Bao Bu will be tied into a hedgehog at the same height!

"Brother, fuck, what to do! It's so aggrieved!! Bao Butong asked as he ran wildly beside him, his face twisted, looking at the pursuers behind him from time to time, a few arrows grazed his shoulders, scratching blood, when did he Bao Butong suffer such a loss.

He wanted to turn his horse back to attack the hammer man several times, but reason told him that he could touch it alone or in a dozen or two, three, but there were more than thirty people in the back, and it was not enough for him to kill himself with seven or eight more!

Bao Yuanqian looked at the horned bow and quiver on the side of his horse, which were left by the group of Warat soldiers who were slaughtered yesterday, and presumably Bao Butong also had that horse.

Looking back at the group of horses equipped with cavalry, I suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and I was happy in my heart, and I had an idea!
