Chapter 18: A Thousand Miles of Pursuit

Danger often comes much faster than one might think.

As soon as the imperial monarchs turned and walked down the hillside, there was already a faint sound of a large number of knights galloping in the distance, the earth was trembling, the branches of the trees on the hillside were shaking, and the snow was falling one after another.

Daqingshan, who was walking at the bottom, immediately bent down and quietly ran to the hillside with a small bush very fast, and after a few breaths, the young man slid down the snow along the hillside, with a hint of luck on his face, and said in a low voice: "There are at least 500 knight troops, seeing that the snow is raised seems to be 1000 meters away, there is an encirclement, let's go quickly!"

The face of the officers of the emperor's ** department is also a light, this kind of dragnet search, often with 100 horses as the basic unit, each time 300 ~ 400 meters pull once, after pulling out, half of the knights bear the net, and the other half of the knights search back inch by inch, therefore, it seems that every time the net is very large, hundreds of knights gallop outward very fast, and in fact, the most wasteful time of this dragnet is to search back. As long as the pursued person is not directly caught in the mesh, and at the same time is not detected by the small group of knights hunting on the periphery, they are temporarily unharmed.

The only way to escape the knight is to enter the forest.

At this time, there is no need to clean up the footprints, as long as the enemy's whereabouts are not discovered before dark, if there is no snow at night, it will definitely be a northwest wind, and all traces will be covered. Only supplication...... The god of light, who should have been praying to seems to have completely sided with the Western Emperor, so let's pray to the heavens, and it is said that the heavens on the 12 main gods are the creator gods.

General Luo Hui divided the only more than 30 Praetorian Guards, palace attendants and young phantom beast knights into three groups, and 4 Praetorian Guards followed Daqingshan and two small mercenary group soldiers to open the way in front - Luo Hui was quite aware of the advantages of the small mercenary group on the snowfield, and 10 warriors on each side of the team were responsible for taking care of the frail elderly nobles, and at the end of the team were 4 phantom beast knights, and the Redstone Emperor also arranged 4 phantom beast knights by his side.

The sun soon set to the west, the wind blew in the valley, and the snow sliced like knives into people's faces. Most of the nobles in the team were well-maintained people, and probably had never suffered a similar encounter in their lives, and most of them had blood on their faces, whether they were blown by the wind or hanging from the branches. Among them, the head of three famous families is a female xìng, who has already cried and cried, and if it were not for His Majesty the King by his side, he might have fallen to the ground and could not get up.

After the final break, the Phantom Beast Knight suddenly hurriedly followed, and whispered to the heads of the military department: "Report to your lord, there is an enemy ranger team 500 meters south, about 20 people. It's rushing diagonally. ”

Many officers have tight faces, the rangers are the biggest killers of the hunted in the large-scale dragnet, most of the rangers are the jīng sharp warriors in the army, all of them are brave and abnormal, once they are caught up by the rangers, the lone is often immediately beheaded and only the head is left to report the military merits; if a large army of the enemy is found, a small number of people are immediately arranged to constantly disturb and track, and the other knights return to summon a large force to intercept and kill.

"Quick, concentrate on the small valley ahead. Everyone is silent!" Luo Hui knew the terrible xìng of the ranger.

As soon as the group entered the valley, the knights could already be heard whistling and shouting their mounts in the distance.

The Imperial General of the Hami Kingdom, Medhanna, was also among the victims, and he was surrounded by the second prince of the Hami Kingdom, the imperial grandson of the Northern Hami Kingdom, and the first brave general of the Northern Hami Kingdom, Rodek. The Hami people have a natural attachment to the snow, and in the snowy fields, the Hami people are not afraid of any strong enemy.

Seeing that the pursuers behind him were getting closer and closer, Murdhannah glanced at Rodek, and the two of them nodded and whispered to General Luo Hui: "Your Excellency, the pursuers will definitely find us, we have left too many traces, we must kill this group of rangers!"

The corners of Luo Hui's mouth showed bitterness, killing more than 20 rangers? At least 40 knights are needed, as long as one is released, the next time it will be a catastrophe. It's just that if you pin your hopes on the other party's negligence and can't find the traces of the escapee, it's better to break the kettle and give it a shot.

His Excellency the General raised his hand and summoned four young Phantom Beast Knights, and with the only three Phantom Beast Knights in the military department, he was about to go out, but Da Qingshan stopped him.

"General, wait a minute. If you go out directly like this, you will definitely be discovered directly by the enemy, and someone will definitely report it. It's better for us to set up an ambush. It was only a few minutes before the young man casually stated his plan.

Several people in charge of the military department were shocked, among the young people in the small mercenary group, Da Qingshan was known for his calmness, and it really shouldn't be him who said such a thing as an ambush...... It seems that all the teenagers of the small mercenary group have a hidden side. However, everyone has to admit that the temptation to talk about ambush is still quite high.

......

The 20 horsemen who came vertically and horizontally looked at everything around them, and the hot air was spewing from the mouths of the centaurs, and suddenly, the two knights in the front took their mounts and signaled their companions to silence, and the war horses circled in place, and the snow splashed everywhere.

Faintly, a cry was heard from the valley in the side direction.

The captain of the knights waved his hand and ordered his men to outflank him from two directions, and when he crossed the small hill, he saw two men in splendid clothes lying in the valley and two people kneeling. The glossiness of the clothes is somewhat similar to that of the target ordered by the boss.

The knights on both sides let out a joyous whistling sound at the same time, and the horses leaped down, and the bright scimitars were raised in the air—the stakes were high, and whoever it was, the pursuers were ordered not to leave anything alive.

The weeping man heard the sound of the horses' hooves, and turned his head sharply to reveal a pale face, which seemed to be two small children, who got up in a panic, turned their heads and ran, stumbling and rolling, but they did not seem to have lost their last sense of reason, and plunged headlong into the nearest dense forest.

In the snow, although the speed of the war horse was slowed down, but it was still run much faster by humans, the knight who rushed to the front approached quickly, hung the knife and took off the knight's spear, the 3.7-meter-long knight's spear leaned forward violently, the fleeing child in the back was tripped up, the tip of the spear lost its accuracy, and it was pierced on the ground, the knight reacted quite quickly, threw down the spear, the scimitar snatched out of the sheath, and chopped off the head. The child lying on the ground seemed to feel the long knife whizzing down his head, and he cried out and rolled down the hillside with his head in his arms.

More than 20 knights led their horses to make a circle on the top of the small slope, and the two prey were holding their heads and rolling on the slope like two snowballs, motionless.

Riding a horse in the snow, the most afraid of going downhill, especially this kind of slope with an angle of more than 20, the horseshoe is hit by the snow and water and falls on the ice and snow straight out of the slip, and if you don't pay attention to it, the horse's hooves will be broken by the stones or tree trunks under the snow. The knights frowned, leaving three companions to meet on the hillside, and the remaining 10 or so horsemen rushed down from the "zigzag".

The two knights at the front jumped off their horses, carrying meniscus in their hands, and walked towards the two boys, apparently they were only going to leave one alive to confess, and one of the knights raised his scimitar and slashed it down.
