Chapter 230: Lively
In the burst of scolding in Ban Chao's mouth, the little school colonel of Khotan finally reacted under the excitement of his body.
Immediately, he put his right hand on his chest and bowed respectfully to Ban Chao.
Then he hurriedly explained to his subordinates that they could not continue to fight with Hu Biao and others, but they could not let Hu Biao and others leave, after such a contradictory order.
To turn around is to rush out of the gate, turn over and jump on a war horse.
Desperately whipping his horse, he galloped towards the palace.
After he left behind more than 100 soldiers, plus more than 20 Wu remaining guards, it was naturally impossible for them to stop Hu Biao.
Hu Biao and the others wanted to go out, and a charge could knock the frightened personnel away.
It's just that Hu Biao estimated that Ban Chao still doesn't want to completely fall out with Khotan, and obviously won't agree to continue to do it.
So Hu Biao and the others had no choice but to continue to wait in the courtyard, hoping that the soldiers of Khotan, or Yu Hanfeng and a few others, could kill the Xiongnu envoy in order to complete the last stage of this mission.
To know! Before the operation, they released another carrier pigeon.
What he did was to inform Yu Hanfeng and the others that once the soldiers and horses of Khotan made a move against the Xiongnu envoys, Yu Hanfeng and the others lay in ambush on the side, looking for an opportunity to kill the target.
However, Hu Biao also knew that this idea should only be extravagant.
The last stage of his Hu Biao's last trial mission, where would it be so easy to complete, there must be other changes.
The follow-up development of the matter is indeed like Hu Biao and others.
They waited for about thirty minutes in the confrontation before they heard shouts of killing coming from far away in the city.
Such a movement should be that Guangde, the lord of Khotan, was helpless, and finally made up his mind to defect to the Han Dynasty, and now he sent soldiers and horses to envoy with the Huns.
After more than ten minutes, no one from the school or Khotan came.
A white dove had already flapped its wings and flew into the courtyard, and after hesitating for a while, it still landed on the shoulder of the war elephant, whose appearance had changed greatly because of the armor he was wearing.
Seeing this, the war elephant hurriedly took out a handful of wheat grains from a small bag on his waist.
While feeding the pigeons, he took off a piece of cloth on his paws, and after spreading it out and looking at it, he saw a few words scribbled on it: The Hun envoy ran away......
*******
After reading the note passed from the hand of the war elephant.
Hu Biao was not only not nervous at that time, but breathed a sigh of relief.
It's not that he's cheap, but he's been worried about the system, how to arrange it, and he finds that such a series of changes are still within his acceptability.
Then, he didn't have time to express some of his own opinions on the fact that the Hun envoys, who were related to the success or failure of the mission, had already escaped from the city.
The war elephant has already told Ban Chao the contents of the note.
With the sound of 'Qiang~', Ban Chao pulled out the horse sword hanging from his waist, and shouted out so firmly in his mouth.
"All the soldiers, for Your Majesty, for the majesty of the Han.
With Ban to chase and kill the Xiongnu envoy, today must kill this fang, cut off its head and send it to the Khotanese lord Guangde. ”
Then he galloped briskly to the stable, intending to ride after him and cut the man.
Seeing this, Hu Biao suddenly realized that he didn't need to say anything; What else are you talking about? Riding a horse with Ban Chao to catch up, he hacked the Hun envoy to death desperately.
Even in such a process, it is quite difficult to specify.
After all, this is the last stage of the task, where is it so easy to complete; But it's all about time, and they have no other choice.
Immediately, they all learned the movements of Ban Chao and ran towards the stable.
The preparation is to ride their respective war horses and chase down the Hun envoy.
It's just that when he rushed to the stable, Hu Biao suddenly shouted out of his mouth: "Xufeng, light the beacon fire and inform Lao Yang to them, and the others will bring a batch of war horses to replace." ”
Lighting the beacon fire, naturally at the same time, Yang Dongli and others immediately dispatched to hunt down and kill the Hun envoy together, which can be regarded as a large number of people.
Why should one person bring a batch of more war horses to replace, this is also a matter of no way.
Because the Western Regions are vast and sparsely populated, as long as the Xiongnu envoy escapes away from the city, he will find a random place to hide, which is like throwing a needle into the sea, which is very difficult to find.
Therefore, based on Hu Biao's current situation, the difficulty of the third stage of the task is judged.
It should be in a limited time, in the vast field area of the Western Regions, successfully tracking and finding the traces of the Xiongnu envoy all the way, and killing him.
In this way, it is very necessary for each of them to bring more horses.
When the people heard this, they took two horses out of the stables before they turned over and got on their horses, rode one and took the other, and rushed out of the courtyard directly and headed towards the city gate.
The war elephant, the big ocean horse girl, even brought three horses directly.
In this way, Hu Biao and others began to enter the pursuit mode.
In such a process, the soldiers of Khotan, who were originally with them, did not dare to make the slightest move.
I could only panic and get out of the way at the gate, so as not to suffer an unwarranted disaster.
And Hu Biao and the others were desperately whipping the war horses, and after rushing out of the gate of Xicheng, they could see several figures hurriedly whipping the war horses and galloping.
The one who was the leader of them wore a long cloak behind him, and the cloak fluttered with the galloping movements of the war horse, which was called a commotion.
can have a task of this shape, except for martial arts lover Yu Hanfeng, who else can there be?
Yu Hanfeng and a few others rushed over from another road, and they just happened to be together with Hu Biao and others after rushing over from another road, not knowing whether it was their own or the opponent's bloodstains.
When he was far away, Yu Hanfeng's mouth screamed:
"Lao Hu, that Hun envoy is really a special chicken thief, he has long been with a subordinate guard, and he has changed clothes and war horses with each other.
After we took a lot of effort to kill the target, we realized that we had killed the wrong person.
However, when the cargo escaped, the left shoulder was also shot by Ah Li with a crossbow arrow, and when he paid attention to the target with such a detail, he could just kill him. ”
'~' After hearing such a statement, Hu Biao suddenly burst out of his mouth.
However, he also knew that now was not the time to care about this, so he could only continue to whip the war horse and follow Ban Chao out of the city gate.
Straight is to drive the war horse, chasing in the southwest direction.
Why did he chase in such a direction, because after Ban Chao rushed out of the city gate first, he didn't have to ask those soldiers.
These people who didn't dare to stop Hu Biao's Hun envoys before still have some vision.
Before Ban Chao and the others spoke, they had already raised one of their right arms in unison and pointed to the southwest; The palm of the left hand is erected, revealing the tips of four fingers.
There is only one thing that is represented:
The messengers of the Huns ran from that direction, and there were four people in total.
And when Hu Biao and the others rushed out of the city gate, Yu Hanfeng and the others, who were in the back position, saw Hu Biao make a gesture.
They all rushed in another direction, that is, the direction in which Yang Dongli and the others were lurking.
This is to inform Lao Yang and the others of the detailed situation, and then let them know the exact direction to follow, and rely on their manpower to lay a net of heaven and earth.
And Hu Biao and the others went out of the city, about ten minutes later.
There were more than a dozen people who left the city one after another, and the largest number of them was a cavalry sent by the lord Guangde, with a total strength of about 800 people.
The smallest team had fifty or sixty people.
They were all tempted by the glass wolf and sent by their respective masters.
The power and allure of this glass handicraft are actually many times stronger than what Hu Biao expected.
In short, if you look down at the capital of Khotan from a high altitude and the vast wilderness around the western city, you can find that under the gallop of many war horses, this land is unprecedentedly lively......
