Chapter 464: Cold in the Heart
"Ahh
Wei Yan was covered in blood, and finally broke out and rushed around, and when he turned around and saw that Guo Jia was still behind, even his eyes were red, he didn't dare to shout the word "adult", and was about to turn the horse to save him, Guo Jia turned around and shouted: "Hurry up!
With this loud shout, Guo Jia used enough strength to drink Wei Yan's body and shook his body, and he involuntarily strangled the reins. He also knew www.biquge.info that at this moment, Guo Jia had no time to say anything, but this simple sentence had already expressed too many things, and the tone was full of anxiety, but it was categorical. Since the adults have made this decision, they really can't hesitate at this moment, if they continue to entangle, I am afraid that it will be more difficult for the adults to get out of the siege, if the enemy finds that this person is a very important person, maybe instead gather heavy troops and all come to this circle. So, Wei Yan had to bite his teeth, forcibly turn back, and fled in the wilderness.
Before leaving, Wei Yan left behind a few camels with plenty of water and food, and these camels were left there, just standing with their heads held high, and did not flee in all directions. Guo Jia and the others did not ride camels when they broke through, and it was even more difficult to be handy in a hurry, so they took camels and rode war horses.
When Guo Jia saw that Wei Yan and the others had fled, his heart suddenly relaxed, and he immediately ordered his entourage to evacuate by camel.
Timur's team knew what they were looking for after a long journey, but in a hurry, they could not tell who was their target. Feng Shui takes turns, and now the embarrassing situation that Guo Jia once encountered, it is their turn.
They don't know which of the four teams that broke through is real, and they don't know if Guo Jia is still staying in place and mixing in the team that is still fighting hard, so they can't let go of any team.
The team of four thousand, each of whom was a camel and a horse, chased down the team that broke through the front four roads, and a game of cat and mouse unfolded in the 800-mile Hanhai...... Guo Jia and Xing Tian held the reins of a camel and staggered across the undulating desert. Although the camel's weight-bearing capacity is strong, but such an intense run, it also needs a certain amount of rest time, and they can't ride all the time, not to mention, even if the two of them ride a horse, the time is not very long, not to mention the camel that they are not familiar with, so their inner thighs are worn out, and seeing that they have gotten rid of the pursuers a little, they also need to rest.
They had done their best to get rid of the pursuers, but the pursuers were still haunted, and often when they thought they had gotten rid of the pursuers and had just breathed a sigh of relief, the pursuers came again, forcing them to continue on the road, and along the way, they had already given up the idea of which destination they wanted to rush to, just to get rid of the pursuers, and they had lost their way three days ago. Two days ago, they were weary and resting in their wolfskin sleeping bags, when they heard the sound of horses' hooves faintly, when it was light, and when they quickly packed up and climbed on their hunchbacks, the enemy was already in sight. This is what later generations called the Afghan hound, the emperor of dogs. Its golden eyes stared into the distance for a moment, then turned and ran to its master, barking a few times, as if to say something. A troop of cavalry was chasing it. Success is also Xiao He, defeat is also Xiao He, Guo Jia and Xing Tian definitely did not expect that they could escape so far, thanks to the power of this estrus male camel, and it is precisely this strong and special taste of the male camel, under the pursuit of the desert hound, it is like a lighthouse in the fog, there is nothing to hide!
"My lord, let's rest here for a while!"
A leeward slope, Xing Tian said to Guo Jia. Guo Jia nodded, he walked to the high place of the sand slope with difficulty, and raised his eyes to look into the distance.
This area is even more desolate, there is not even snow, at a glance, there is a piece of yellow sand, undulating yellow sand stretches for thousands of miles, Guo Jia knows that they have now arrived in the heart of the desert, and their mood can't help but be heavier.
He no longer had to judge the purpose of the target by the sunset in the west, and he knew a few days ago that he had deviated from the purpose of the target. Now he is fleeing all the way down along the purpose of the southwest mark, the pursuers are too tight, the first few days when the purpose of the detour to the northwest mark rushed to Aksu, even met Timur's cavalry in front, and then he was chased more and more tightly, and he could no longer take care of anything else, just to be able to free the pursuers first.
"The pursuers have been chasing!"
Guo Jia muttered to himself, his eyes fell on the sand where the two passed, there were two lines of shallow camel footprints, the footprints were originally relatively deep, but with the howling wind, now it is becoming lighter and lighter, I believe that it only takes a while to make it disappear completely.
Now that the sky is about to get dark, compared to the night, after a night of wind blowing, not to mention the traces of two people, the traces of one hundred and ten people will disappear without a trace, what is the pursuer relying on, has been accurately capturing his traces?
Guo Jia has always been suspicious of this, and he doesn't want to understand this, so he can make a way to deal with it, he believes that sooner or later he will be chased by the enemy, and by that time, maybe the two of them have escaped and don't even have the strength to struggle, so they can only obediently tie their hands.
He had never thought of hunting dogs before, because there were too few people who used hunting dogs at that time, especially when he was crossing the Hanhai, a cavalry infantry team wanted to kill from afar, directly intercept the Hanhai, find his whereabouts, and then carry out the robbery, this is too difficult, in the long-range attack, there will be hunting dogs, this kind of thing is really unimaginable. However, he was accurately found by the pursuers again and again, and he was puzzled by this possibility, because otherwise it was impossible to explain the shrewdness of the enemy soldiers.
He didn't know the unpleasant smell of the two camels, but when the camels were running forward, they were better, but when they stopped, or when they were walking against the wind, the smell was really unbearable, and he had to cover his face with a face towel, which not only blocked the cold wind and sand, but also filtered the smell. Although it is difficult to sniff out such a strong smell by a human nose wherever it passes, it is not difficult for a dog's nose to sniff out.
Guo Jia had already thought of this possibility, but it was useless to think of it, could he abandon these two camels? In this vast desert, when would the two of them be able to walk out with their legs? If he lost the camel here, it would be better to commit suicide immediately, Guo Jia sighed helplessly. The sky is slightly dark, and the fish belly has appeared white in the east. Next to the dune, there seems to be a crouching humanoid stone, quietly placed there. Suddenly, the "stone" moved, he raised his eyes to see the white light that appeared slightly in the sky, relaxed the old sheepskin jacket that he was holding tightly, stood up and moved his body a few times, this "stone" was Xing Tian. In the past few days in the escape, they have lost a set of bedding, plus the pursuers are getting more and more anxious, and they are getting more and more tired, once they fall asleep, they often like dead pigs, and they can't wake up with a little wind and grass, which is very dangerous, because sometimes the pursuers will chase them overnight, and the two people will change to one person to keep vigil and one person to sleep, and then change people when the hour comes. Xing Tian turned his head to look at the tightly covered wolfskin sleeping bag at the bottom of the slope, and sighed softly.
When Guo Jia looked around and saw the boundless and boundless wilderness, with the strength of his mind, he couldn't help but feel a feeling of discouragement and frustration. Xing Tian took a deep breath and was about to walk towards the bottom of the slope, when his expression suddenly changed, as if he had seen something. He narrowed his eyes and looked into the distance alertly, and sure enough, it was a living creature, and from a distance, it looked like a sand fox, or some other desert animal?
But...... , The animal ran closer and closer, although the long hair-like hair looked a little strange, not suitable for the dogs seen in the Central Plains, but ...... Really like a dog. That is an Afghan hound, elegant body, long limbs, so that it can indulge in the desert gallop, originally as a desert wild dog breed of it, is the sand fox, gerbil and other alert and flexible, agile desert creatures for food, its speed can be imagined, when it gallops with all its might, much faster than a horse, that is, after being successfully trained, when capturing prey, it often leaves the owner of the horse far behind, catches up and fights with the prey alone.
It can gallop in deserts, hills, rocky and other despicable environments, and its ability to withstand cold and heat is extremely strong, and its extraordinary survivability is a hundred times more intelligent than its beautiful appearance.
It sniffed the smell and ran all the way, and when Xing Tian saw it, it obviously saw Xing Tian as well. It held its head high, and a pair of golden eyes stared at Xing Tian, who looked at its strange face and felt like a person who was in a state of thought. The pricked up ear shuddered in alarm, and it suddenly turned around and ran away like an arrow.
A chill hit Xing Tian's body, he suddenly felt danger, he didn't have a bow, even if he carried it, looking at the speed of the strange dog's wind, Xing Tian was also very worried about whether he could shoot it. "My lord, get up quickly, it's dangerous!" Xing Tian staggered down the sand slope, screaming while hissing, Guo Jia's head suddenly popped out of his sleeping bag, and he just woke up, and only blinked twice, and then regained his clarity and alertness.
"Hurry, my lord! The pursuers are coming!"
Xing Tian shouted in panic, Guo Jia just jumped out of the sleeping bag, and a team of cavalry seemed to have broken out of the netherworld, appearing on a sandy slope like a water wave line in front of him, and the big horses' hooves kicked the golden sand!
