Chapter 29: Trail and Pursuit!
"Suspicious?"
Nima Bazaar's smile froze directly, and the simple suspicious soldier hit him on the soft underbelly at once!
People hate less when they use it!
But if you wait any longer, even if there are twenty people......
From the border of Yizhou to the present more than 1,000 miles, it is already the end of the people and horses, and the strong crossbow.
If it was six Tang Army, he didn't need to think about it at all, just a dozen or so people who were sleepy and lacking in horses, he would definitely not be able to kill the six elite Tang Army, just wait for reinforcements on the spot.
Anyway, from the mouth of a few horse thieves who were killed on the road, he had already learned that a Tubo cavalry of more than 2,000 people was marching along his own journey, although he didn't know where the soldiers and horses were, but Nima Bazar believed that he was definitely here to assist him!
There are 2,000 cavalry, not to mention dividing the troops into three routes, and it is no problem to divide the troops into thirty routes.
But the other party is two people, or two people with heavy armor and heavy crossbows!
This makes Nima Bazar very uncomfortable!
Without waiting for reinforcements, direct pursuit will either divide the troops or not divide the troops!
Don't divide the troops, what if you chase the wrong one?
Division......
When he attacked from Wubao, Nima Bazar was thinking about capturing a few Uighur horse thieves, so he didn't carry any heavy equipment at all, and each person had a pair of chain mail.
And they clearly know that the Tang Army has a heavy crossbow, and the chain mail on their bodies will definitely not be able to stop the Tang Army's heavy crossbow!
Nima Bazar, who feels that he has a great future, doesn't want to be shot into a sugar gourd!
If you divide the troops, in the face of the Tang army with heavy armor and heavy crossbows, even if you are in a group of five, you may not have a chance of winning, if there is less than five, you will be given a head!
But if you don't chase it, you have chased it out for more than a thousand miles, and the Tang army must be tired too, and share the low-hanging fruit to others, Nima Bazar feels unwilling!
Looking at the vast and boundless grassland, Nima Bazar clenched his fists a little unwillingly, and then turned his head to look at the most experienced veteran in the team.
"Jisang Lama, what do you think of the suspicious soldiers of the Tang Army? What would you do in the military in peacetime? ”
"Fubai, I remember when you set off, you said that if the Tang army returned to Tang to the east, it would be endless trouble for Tubo."
"Yes, there are many troubles! But what ...... followed?"
Halfway through speaking, Nima Bazar stopped, and he was awakened by the words of the Tibetan veteran, what if the other party really ran north, to the east!
After bowing his head and pondering for a moment, he began to give orders.
"Sambuza, Lobsang Dawa, you two immediately go south to look for them and inform the reinforcements that are coming, tell them that we have found their traces, and let them speed north!"
"Shazimaka, you stay here and wait for reinforcements. If I send someone back before the reinforcements arrive, follow the new instructions, and if I don't send someone back before the reinforcements arrive, let the reinforcements divide the troops into three ways to pursue and find them! ”
"The rest of you, give you a quarter of an hour to feed and drink the horses, and then follow me and me to continue the pursuit eastward!"
After the order was given, Nima Bazar looked at the veteran again.
"Jisan Rama, do you think there's anything else you can add?"
"Fubai, it's already very good, while Xia Zimaka is waiting, you can look for some dry grass cow, sheep, and horse manure, and light it as a beacon after dawn tomorrow!"
"Good! That's what Shazimaka does! ”
After a quarter of an hour's rest, the pursuers, reduced from fifteen to twelve, set out on their pursuit.
Running all the way, until night fell completely, and they couldn't see their fingers, they had to stop, and fought hard all night in the wasteland.
At dawn the next day, under the urging of the energetic Nima Bazar, they continued on their way, and in the early afternoon, they found the "battlefield" that had passed through Guo Rong and Lu Shishi. ”
Seeing the corpses, the blood, and a corpse that had been scooped open, Nima Bazar's eyes shone brightly, no matter whose corpses they belonged to, it proved that this direction was right!
"Fu Bai, among the two horse thieves, one of them should have fallen down and died after being frightened, and the other was shot through by a heavy crossbow!"
"The head of a man dressed as a merchant is smashed by a blunt soldier like a hammer!"
"The innermost layer of this person is a Tang people's cicada clothes, the outside of the cicada clothes is a set of chain mail of the Tang Army, and the outermost is the clothing of our Tibetan merchants! This man's right hand has a tiger's mouth, his index finger has calluses, and he has ...... on the inside of his knees."
"No matter from which point of view, he is definitely a soldier of the Tang Army, and from the perspective of the elite degree of the inner armor, it is likely that he is still an officer of the class of team leaders!"
"Fubai, according to the previous traces, there are two good horses from the Western Regions in the Tang Army's war horses, and the good horses of the Western Regions are different from our Tibetan horses, and they must be bled after galloping, otherwise the horses will die due to heat!"
If it had been placed before, Nima Baza would not have had the patience to listen to a few veterans to popularize the knowledge of war horses to himself, but now Nima Bazar knows the value of veterans, and also understands that this is his own veteran teaching himself knowledge, although he is anxious and still listens patiently.
"The Tang army likes to choose mountain passes, valleys, and sheltered slopes as camping sites, and often makes fires, and sometimes bleeds their war horses, although the Tang army will habitually hide traces, there will still be clues left, and it is precisely because of these traces that they can find traces and catch up."
"Fubai, look here, this is a unique shape that can only be formed by bleeding war horses, and the traces of the Tang Army's bloodletting of war horses that we have found in many camps before are similar!"
"Judging from here, there is no doubt that the two Tang soldiers we are chasing here are the ones we are pursuing!"
After listening to the judgments of several veterans, Nima Bazar fell into a state of excitement again!
Not only have they caught up with the Tang Army, but one of the Tang Army has already died here, and the deceased is most likely an officer of the Tang Army in Anxi!
From the mouth of the veteran, he already knew how difficult it was to kill a Tang Army officer in Qiuzi, even if he turned around and returned to himself with this corpse now, it would be a great achievement, but if he could take another Tang Army......
"Jisan Rama, can you determine the time?"
After a few veterans gathered together and studied it for a moment, Jisan Rama spoke again.
"The corpse is very stiff, and the time of death should be more than or close to a day, but it should be no more than a day in terms of the freshness of the blood! So it's likely that it was a battle yesterday afternoon or late afternoon! ”
Nima Bazar's eyes seem to be starting to burst into flames, a day ago!
"Jisang Lama, you continue to expand your search and see if you can find any trace of another Tang Army!"
Soon, Jisan Rama held up a weapon with both hands and handed it to Nima Bazar.
"Fubai, we found this at the bottom of the river to the north! And a small amount of blood! ”
"This is the horizontal knife of the Tang Army?"
