Chapter 69: Relentless Pursuit(1/2)
In the snow-covered fields, the wolf guards and officers and soldiers advanced to the road and stopped moving forward halfway inside and outside, but instead separated from each other, and placed a crossbow to block the intersection, and the crossbow was ready to go.
Song Ying was dressed in a black robes of Wolf Guard, pressing the Yanling Knife with his hand, looking at the quiet town in the distance, and asking his subordinates:
"Confirm in town?"
The subordinate next to him was also dressed in black, but a black eagle stopped on his arm. It was the wolf guard who had just arrived from another place to arrest the wolf guard.
The arrest house specializes in the major cases, that is, the department where Zhu Manzhi was staying at that time specially raised falcons and hounds to search for good people who came and went without a trace. The source of the "Iron Eagle Deer Hunting" back then was also related to this group of spies who were good at searching, and were secretly scolded as "dog nose" in the world.
The wolf guard held the black eagle in his hand and pointed to the depths of the town: "There is only one wind-chasing horse in Youzhou. Just three eagles swept through Youzhou in a radius of hundreds of miles, and only found the situation in this direction. If Prince Su was running away on his horse, it would definitely be here."
Song Ying nodded and ordered to the people around him: "No noise and fire, quickly surround the surroundings. Someone rushed to the card and shot arrows without asking about his identity. Mr. Situ, follow me to the town to announce the edict. If you dare not resist the edict, you can follow the law and rectify the law on the spot... Of course, don't really kill me, just kill me and capture me."
Situ Yuejin carried the Nine-ring Sword, and his strong body stood between the wind and snow, sighing:
"Since I'm here, I'll let Lord Song arrange it. But I just want to beat someone, and King Su will pursue it later..."
"Don't worry, King Su has any complaints, the emperor will bear it. This matter is of great importance. As long as you don't beat Xu Buling to death, you will have no scruples."
Song Ying waved his hand, letting the officers and soldiers and the wolf guards disperse quickly, and then sneaked into the town silently with Situ Yuejin.
However, before the two of them left the Wolf Guard's field of vision, a sharp sound of arrows came from the east, and a loud scolding from a man:
"That person who is blind and dares to surround me. I am the prince of Prince Su. Can you rebel??"
The voice was extremely angry, as if the innocent prince who was spending the night in the town woke up and found that he was surrounded by unknown people and fled in a hurry.
Song Ying stopped quickly and his face suddenly changed: "No, Xu Buling is going to escape, stop him!"
Hundreds of wolf guards and officers lurking in the snow took action without giving instructions, and rushed to the east with their swords and weapons. In an instant, the swords and swords were lit like snow in the wilderness, and horses were running like thunder.
"Damn it, why are there so many people? Retreat quickly, withdraw quickly..."
Xu Buling's "shocking" sound came again, and then the fierce horses neighed and galloped towards the distance, with the sound of swords and soldiers knocking and shouting from the officers and soldiers.
Situ Yuejin felt something was wrong and said while running: "Mr. Song, it sounds like Prince Su is scared away by you."
Song Ying was not sure about the specific situation of Bodhi Island, but understood that Xu Buling was definitely acting, so as not to let the court pursue the matter afterwards and it was difficult to explain why the officers and soldiers fled.
No matter what the reason Xu Buling escapes, as long as he runs away, he will definitely have a ghost in his heart. So what if he doesn't catch Xu Buling's tail? As long as he recites the imperial edict in front of Xu Buling, Xu Buling dares not accept the edict, no matter how innocent he is, it will be useless.
Song Ying turned over and chased Dongfang urgently, more than a mile away, and shouted loudly:
"I am the investigative investigation officer Song Ying. Prince Su quickly dismissed and accepted the order. He dared to resist the order. He was punished for the crime of treason according to Dayue's law..."
Song Ying's voice was like a bell, almost knocking down the snow on the branches. Several nearby war horses were shocked. I'm afraid that even standing on the other end of the town could hear it clearly.
But at this time, Xu Buling even if he could hear it, he would pretend not to hear it. How could he stop and answer the order honestly?
In the east of the town, Xu Buling took the lead with a long spear and rode his horse. He rode alone as if he had entered a no-man. More than a hundred officers and soldiers had not completely blocked the road, so they could only hold spears or ride horses to hedge and block.
Xu Buling had insufficient experience in fighting with the Grandmaster, but he had been a rushing battle since elementary school and was thrown away from the border when he was less than ten years old. He had been mingled with the Western Liang Iron Cavalry all day long and had a small-scale confrontation with the Northern Qi cavalry. In terms of battlefield fighting, it was far more than the experience of these groups of temporary big-headed soldiers who were transferred. The gangster number of the "Little Hell" was not his own.
The wind and snow swept across the wilderness, and Xu Buling's long spear was like a dragon exploring the sea. He easily picked off the cavalry who rushed over to block the battle horses and swept away the gun formation in front of him. The horse speed was not slow at all, and he rushed directly from more than 200 officers and soldiers. The terrifying momentum made the officers and soldiers dare not stand in front of them to block them.
The nightingale rode the horse closely following Xu Buling's pace, and also did not hold the reins. She held a long sword in her left and right hands, and raised an army that was slashing the left and right, sweeping away the arrows.
Zhongli Chuchu held Nightingale's waist with one hand, and her mind that had just become chaotic was temporarily suppressed by the chaotic scene. She looked at the surroundings with full concentration, holding poison needles in hand to help check for missing out; just a group of ordinary soldiers, Xu Bus can be killed by one person. Before she could see the situation clearly, the two horses had already rushed through the level.
Xu Buling heard Song Ying's shouting, and naturally used this as a wind in his ears, slowing down the horse to the rear of the nightingale to prevent the rash arrow from accidentally hurting Chuchu or the wolf guard master from raiding. While running, a horse hid in the belly and caught a lifelong crossbowmen on the roadside. He grabbed the iron-tied bow and quiver from the panicked and shouting crossbowmen, and hung it on the weapon hook.
"Stop him!"
"Shoot the arrow!"
There was a constant noise behind the scenes, and a chaotic group of infantry chased after a few steps behind them, and only a dozen light horses were left to chase after them.
However, the war horses of the Youzhou border army came from Liaodong, and the light cavalry was wearing iron armor no matter how light it was. Xu Buling and the Nightingale rode chasing the wind, stepping on the snow, and traveling lightly. The speed difference was too big, but one mile left the border army outside the land of an arrow.
Song Ying and Situ Yue Jin are both top heroes who have been walking in the world for many years. The weapons are used to kill people, and the mounts are used to save lives. The mounts under the crotch are equally important, so the two of them are naturally not bad. Although they are hard to match with the wind-chasing horse, Xu Buling cannot leave the nightingale and run by himself, so it is enough to catch up with the snow-planked horse.
Song Ying held the long sword in his hand and ran to chase after him. When the town behind him disappeared, Situ Yuejin was the only one who was left beside him.
Situ Yuejin has been famous in the world for decades. Whether it is escaping or chasing, he has experienced the Taoist. After glanced at the dust in the distance, he said:
"You can catch up in about three miles, beware of the rabbit's trick of kicking an eagle."
The rabbit kicks the eagle when it hits the ground. The rabbit flips over and kicks it with its powerful hind legs, which means a desperate counterattack.
Song Ying has been chasing the wanted criminals of Jiazi in the world for many years, so there is no need to remind him of this. He focused on two horses in the distance, whipped the horse whip in his hand a few times, and accelerated the horse speed again.
Step on
The crisp sound of horse hooves resounded throughout the snowy night.
Zhongli Chuchu sat behind Nightingale. The officers and soldiers and arrows that were no longer around were free to look back, but saw that there were two horses in the distance that could not be thrown away, and that there was a trend of getting closer and closer. He couldn't help but nervously said:
"Mr. Xu, what should I do?"
Xu Buling knew that behind him was Song Ying and Situ Yuejin, who was really caught up. He and Nightingale obviously had little chance of winning. He immediately hung the long spear on the side of the horse and spread his arms:
"Skip over, my horse is better, and reduce the burden on the nightingale."
Zhongli Chuchu is very tall, and her breasts and legs cannot be too light, and she can still be about 100 pounds. However, Nightingale is slim and is estimated to be less than 80 pounds. If she rides a horse alone, it is not much different from running without a weight, so her speed will naturally be faster.
Zhongli Chuchu did not hesitate, and quickly turned around immediately, and fell on Xu Buling's horse with a leap, and he ran into his arms.
Xu Buling hugged Zhongli Chuchu, and the two of them sat face to face on the horse. Without any effort to let Chuchu turn around, he reminded him: "Precaution behind me, I'll find an opportunity to get rid of them." Nuancai Literature Network
The two of them had a very strange posture, just like the lotus sitting on the lotus.
Zhongli Chuchu's chin was placed on Xu Buling's shoulder, staring at the blurry snowy night behind him. The horse was bumpy and he was hugged and pressed tightly. Even the collar was piled up and turned into two flat balls.
In a critical situation, Zhongli Chuchu was attracted by the current situation and even threw away the incident of catching the adulterer in bed, not paying attention to these physical contacts at all.
But there was nothing to see when you chase me. The Qiong Nose was pressed against Xu Buling's long hair, and the faint fragrance spread from Xu Buling's neck and hair to the tip of Zhongli Chuchu's nose.
The fragrance is very special, and this is the only one in the world.
Zhongli Jiujiu studied everything himself, and the same is true for the fragrant powder he used. Zhongli Chuchu has smelled it since she was a child and is very familiar with it.
Zhongli Chuchu's eyes became a little dazed, and under the impact of the fragrance, she had a brief loss of consciousness.
Is this what he and his master just now?
How can this be...
Zhongli Chuchu's body suddenly stiffened, and then moved back a little, wanting to separate from Xu Buling.
Xu Buling was confused because he was afraid that Zhongli Chuchu would fall down, so he hugged the snake-like waist and told him: "Chuchu, don't move around, we are running away..."
Zhongli Chuchu's struggled movements froze, and was pulled back to reality. He gritted his teeth and leaned back on Xu Buling's shoulder. He wanted to sweep away the messy thoughts in his mind, but the messy scenes appeared in his mind involuntarily.
Just like I am holding it now, Master is sitting in Xu Buling's arms, two of them...
Xu Buling also feels very delicious...
The master's smile and Xu Buling's face were intertwined, as if they could hear each other's laughter and breathing...
The indescribable emotions impact the mind, but they cannot avoid it. They can only smell the familiar fragrance of Xu Buling and helplessly endure this psychological destruction.
Zhongli Chuchu could no longer control herself and did not move. She lay on Xu Buling's shoulders, tears filled her eyes and rolled down silently.
Xu Buling couldn't see Chuchu's face, and didn't notice Chuchu crying again. He hugged Chuchu and asked her to sit firmly, his eyes swept towards Nobara ahead, and after finding a mound, he spoke:
"Nightingale, to the left."
The nightingale walking in front quickly turned around and rushed into the field without asking, and rushed through the snowfield, jumped over the mound.
Xu Buling followed closely behind, and after crossing the mound, he took off the iron-tied bow and said, "Chuchu, sit down", he turned around and opened his bow, aiming at the mound behind him.
The three-stone iron-tied bow has no stone clusters, and ordinary archers cannot pull it away at all. Only the elite crossbowmen of the border army can use this thing. Xu Buling grabbed this bow because of this reason.
However, the three stone bow was still lighter for Xu Buling's force, and he had almost no forceful movement. He bent his bow like a full moon, breaking the iron-tied bow to its limit.
Whether it is a military soldier or aristocratic family, "riding and shooting" is a compulsory homework, and it is even more important in the army than personal martial arts. Xu Buling's archery skills were naturally practiced since childhood. Needless to mention the temperature, it was revealed once in Heicheng. It basically refers to shooting wherever it is within the range.
The two sides were about two hundred steps away, and because of the bulge of the mound, they temporarily lost their traces.
Song Ying, who was chasing, found Xu Buling jumping into the field, and rushed out of the official road with his horse's belly. His eyes were as sharp as an eagle and locked Xu Buling's back. After Xu Buling crossed the mound, he listened to the movement behind the mound.
Situ Yuejin narrowed his eyes slightly, took off the Nine-ring Sword from behind, and said in a deep voice:
"Beware of fraud."
"The horse has not stopped, continue chasing."
Song Ying replied in a deep voice and rushed to the mound first.
However, as soon as Song Ying poked his head out from above the mound, a sharp sound of breaking the wind came from the wind.
Song Ying and Situ Yuejin's faces changed at the same time. Unexpectedly, Xu Buling actually injured people with a hidden arrow. He had already rushed out of the mound, and the huge inertia of the people and horses could not stop. The two of them could instinctively avoid the flying arrows.
But Xu Buling is also Wu Kui. He knows that an arrow cannot do anything to a master at the level of a master. He can avoid it by relying on muscle memory alone.
Xu Buling's feather arrow shot out was not aimed at Song Ying on the horse, but a fierce horse that had just jumped out of the mound and exposed its four hooves.
The sharp arrowhead had a little cold light, almost flying against the snow on the mound, and the place where it landed was the bowl of big horse hooves that were about to fall.
Wu Kui's reaction is not human, but his martial arts skills. He can't practice horses under his crotch to be able to listen to the sound and stand without traces while walking on the snow.
This arrow that pulls the string will pass through the horse's legs as long as it hits. No matter how good the horse is, it will have to lie down on the spot. Without the horse, it will be chasing the snow horse with both legs. If you think about it, you will know that you will never be able to catch up with it even if you are exhausted.
Song Ying reacted very quickly. When he heard the sound, he realized something was wrong. He was not using long weapons such as horse rifles. He could only unsheathed the goose feather sword at his waist when the horse flew over the mound and threw it out directly. The speed of the blade was comparable to a powerful crossbow, and halfway it accurately intercepted the feather arrow.
