Chapter 342: The Sneak Attack of the Pingshan Tribe (15)
Because they were short of horses, the horses that originally belonged to them were taken away by the Di people. The two of them had to ask for help, otherwise they would be abandoned as a burden.
Zhang Qishan gritted his teeth, suppressed the anger in his heart, and said to Pingshan humbly: "Headmaster Pingshan, please allow me to take them away."
Pingshan squinted at him and said, "If you become a burden to us, you will die too."
Zhang Qishan forced a smile and said, "I dare not delay the chief's important matter. I will do my best to serve you."
Bawan rode over and looked at the two wounded soldiers. "You can take them with you if you want! But they have to walk on their own and not on horses."
We have to fight when we get to Kara Mountain, and the horses will be tired and have no fighting capacity.
Zhang Qishan hesitated for a moment, but when he saw the two men pleading tremblingly, he agreed.
So, when dozens of horses started to set off, the two wounded soldiers could only trot behind Zhang Qishan's horse.
These two people were once kidnapped from Suijin Town by Zhang Qishan himself, but he did it secretly at the time and no one knew it was him who did it.
I want to bring it with me at this time, not because I am soft-hearted, nor do I have any change of heart, but I just want to have an extra meat shield when fighting.
The Pingshan tribe's cautiousness was not in vain, as they passed by Lady Uya who was waiting in the Mudan tribe.
But a few days later, he suffered a setback in the Wuda tribe and learned the inside story. Pingshan regretted it so much that he almost vomited blood.
On the other side, Song Dekui was still cursing. He got away by kicking away Lin Qingyuan who was trying to follow him all the way.
The snow at night covered the grassland again, and the ground conditions could no longer be seen clearly.
In the unfamiliar terrain, people and horses dared not gallop.
Fortunately, Lao Ma is running in front to blaze a trail, so no one has to worry too much.
An hour later, the heatless sun hung high in the sky.
Song Dekui, Balin and others were already eating dried meat as a snack.
Song Liyun rode her horse to the highest point nearby. She planned to end her patrol here.
She took out the telescope and looked again, and this time she discovered what was going on.
A group of people is coming!
"Uncle Kui! Balin! There seems to be someone over there!" Song Liyun shouted.
At the bottom of the gentle slope, Song Dekui and Balin dropped their horses and hurried up.
The two of them looked through the telescope and their faces changed drastically.
Song Dekui was frightened by the group of tribal soldiers in the camera. At a glance, nearly a hundred people suddenly filled his field of vision.
It was Balin's first time to use a telescope. Before he had time to adjust to the sudden change in distance, he was frightened by the sharp scimitar that suddenly approached. He turned pale and felt dizzy.
"Ugh... wow!"
The water he had just drunk spurted out of his nose, and he vomited until tears streamed down his face.
Song Dekui's voice trembled as he said, "Didn't they say there wouldn't be any enemy attacks from this direction? How...how could this happen? Xiaoyun, let's run!"
The situation is very clear. There are no soldiers from the Wuda tribe appearing in this direction, and the Mudan tribe is also on the other side. Now there are only enemies.
Song Liyun's face also looked unhappy.
At that time, Madam Wuya agreed to let her go out for patrol because the other party was coming from the direction of Mida Valley, so she asked her to walk around the east side of Kara Mountain, and the distance was not far.
But how could my luck be so good? Just when I was about to stop and turn back, I ran into it head-on.
She raised the telescope again and became more and more frightened the more she looked. The enemy's long cavalry seemed to have countless people.
A hundred people standing together would not give off a lot of volume, but the oppressive feeling of a hundred horses trampling on the snow is suffocating.
Song Liyun tried to calm down and quickly calculated the approximate number of people.
Seeing that his words did not attract Song Liyun's attention, but instead made her stop, Song Dekui became anxious and scratched his head.
"Hurry up, Xiaoyun! Let's go! If someone finds us, we won't be able to escape."
Balin, who was standing next to him, vomited a few times before he recovered. He glanced at the telescope in fear: he couldn't handle this kind of magical object.
Song Liyun counted the number of people and was secretly shocked. There were at least seventy people on the other side.
There are only fourteen people on my side.
Even if Lao Qian and the others had some life-saving methods like myself, it would be impossible for them to escape unscathed from the siege of seventy people.
We must retreat quickly and report the news.
Song Liyun said to the people who were looking at her eagerly, "The other party is still ten miles away. At their speed, it will take them half an hour to get here.
We must return to the camp quickly, dismantle the wooden houses, and inform Lin Qingyuan and the others that they cannot come back."
Now the enemy horses are just moving forward slowly, and their speed is about the same as that of a person walking.
Song Dekui glanced at the snow beneath his feet, which had been trampled by the horse. "What should we do with this place? Do we need to cover up the traces?"
If you cover up your footprints, the other person won't be able to discover you.
This is what he heard from Wu Dan. This is how Wu Dan hid in the snow without being discovered.
Song Liyun shook her head: "It's too late. Even if we cover our tracks, judging from the direction they're heading, they're also coming this way.
Rather than wasting time here, we should quickly find everyone and return to the Wuda tribe immediately."
Run! What are you waiting for!
There was no place to hide on the vast snowfield. The other party only needed to get closer to discover us.
So, Song Liyun and the others all got on their horses and galloped back the way they came.
Song Liyun estimated that it would take half an hour to get here. In fact, only half a quarter of an hour had passed when spies discovered the traces they left behind.
A horse quickly came up to Pingshan and said, "Headmaster, there are five horses that have stopped on the hillside ahead. Their footprints haven't been blown away by the wind yet, so they must have left not long ago."
Before Pingshan could say anything, Bawan rode forward and said, "Headmaster, this place is not far from Kala Mountain. They are most likely the Wuda tribe out on a hunting patrol. We should capture them and find out the situation of the Wuda headquarters. I will lead the others to chase them."
It was his first time leading troops into battle, and doing more small things like this was just the right way to build up his reputation in the tribe.
Pingshan nodded and said, "Okay, you quickly capture the person, I'll go to the Wuda headquarters."
With permission, Ba Wan quickly gathered ten horses, found the footprints discovered by the spies, and chased after Song Liyun.
Besides, Song Liyun and the others knew that there must be scouts ahead of the army, so they did not dare to delay at all and ran all the way without caring about hiding their whereabouts.
It took an hour to go there, but only half an hour to come back.
Before he even reached the boarding house, Song Dekui yelled at the top of his lungs, "Wudan, you little bastard, come out! The enemy is attacking! The enemy is attacking!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Wudan and Zhemao rushed out of the house.
"Hurry up and take out the pots and stoves from the house, and put out the fire."
Song Liyun dismounted and, while giving instructions to Wu Dan, stuffed a handful of grass mixed with medicine into the mouths of the horses around her.
A handful of snow was thrown into the furnace to extinguish the flames.
Song Liyun quickly retracted the wooden house into the space, leaving only a patch of black grass in its place.
In the rear, Bawan of the Pingshan tribe also reacted quickly.
After he saw the traces left by Song Liyun and others, he chased after them as fast as he could.
Song Liyun and Song Dekui's riding skills were really no match for these grassland people. Even Balin couldn't keep up because of the two of them.
Even if they rushed back as fast as they could, they were only two quarters of an hour faster than the ten riders of the Pingshan tribe.
Just as everything was tidied up, Balin, who was on guard, saw a group of horses chasing them in the distance.
"Young Madam! They're chasing us!"
