Zhang Xiaowu called Han Qi, the guard leader on duty, and Han Qi roughly explained the process. The newly arrived prisoners of war took advantage of the sergeant's unpreparedness and worked together to strangle the soldier who was leading the way. Then the prisoner of war carried the soldier's body with a shield, and several sergeants exchanged views with each other.
Step on the opponent's shoulder and turn up a ten-foot-high wall.
"How many people escaped?"
"Four people, four people escaped."
Zhang Xiaowu nodded, and Xiao Kai climbed over the wall with two bows and four pots of arrows. These wounded prisoners could not walk far. They walked from the battlefield to Mucheng, and their physical strength was almost exhausted. This may be their last chance to resist.
.
Zhang Xiaowu squatted on the ground and carefully observed the footprints. Xiao Kai was alert with an arrow and asked: "Sir, do you want to find a few more people?"
Zhang Xiaowu said: "The only ones who can fight in the Epidemic Village are you, me, Zhao Suo and Chen Guanxi, let's forget about the others."
Xiao Kai said: "That Zhao Suo is good, he has no fear."
Zhang Xiaowu said: "This person has murderous intentions and is too violent. I'm afraid he will become a butcher in the future."
Xiao Kai glanced at him and thought to himself that the people he killed were probably a fraction of what you did, sir, and you actually called him a butcher?
"This way, let's go." The two of them chased after them and found four scattered traces of prisoners of war three miles away from the epidemic village.
"These four people probably knew that they would all die if they were together, so the two of them continued to go north, one to the east and the other to the west." Zhang Xiaowu stared at the footprints and analyzed in his mind for a while before turning around and said, "Going to the west is the desert.
, so don’t worry about this person for the time being. Going east is the grassland, which is not conducive to hiding. Instead, continue north and pass through a Gobi Desert... Xiao Kai, you chase eastward, and I will chase north. Don’t worry about yourself entering the desert.
That guy."
Xiao Kai hurriedly said: "Sir, you chase east, I will chase north!"
"Are you worried that I will be harmed by those two people?" Zhang Xiaowu said proudly, "They didn't have time to drink water along the way, their physical strength was exhausted, and they were no threat. Moreover, my shooting skills are far inferior to my martial arts. With martial arts like yours, two
Even ten people can't beat me
One. Everyone knows that I am a master of archery, but they don’t know that my archery skills are far inferior to my martial arts." He sorted out the weapons on his body, especially bows and arrows, and suggested: "Xiao Kai, although I am chasing two people
, but it may not be slower than you."
Xiao Kai said happily: "How about we make a bet, who kills the fugitive first and then goes to find another person? If I go to you first, you need to invite me to Lichun Tower in the city to drink wine. If you win
Now, should I invite you to drink wine at Li Chun Tower?"
Zhang Xiaowu said: "Do you have an old friend in Li Chun Tower?"
Xiao Kai blushed and asked, "Sir, do you dare to compete?"
Zhang Xiaowu was in high spirits, patted Xiao Kai's shoulder, and said excitedly: "It's a competition, I want to see what your old sweetheart looks like."
Xiao Kai pursued eastward with his bow and arrow, while Zhang Xiaowu continued to walk north. His pursuit was not fast. Chasing prey on the Gobi tidal flats required more importantly patience, and what he lacked most was patience.
The sky is getting dark. Although the summer in Saibei is hot during the day, the temperature is slightly lower at night. Especially in the Gobi Desert, the temperature is even colder due to wind and sand.
Breathing the slightly cooler air, Zhang Xiaowu's mind became clearer. He felt that the drop in temperature was more detrimental to the fugitives. He was wearing a single coat and leather armor and a cloak, while the fugitives only wore a single suit. In such a cold night, they should be
Even more difficult to endure.
Not long after we continued moving forward, the sky became completely dark, the crescent moon rose, and the bright stars in the sky shone on the earth, making the ground appear brighter.
The night wind blew and picked up the sand and gravel on the ground. The sand and gravel rolled around on the ground and made a rustling sound, as if someone was walking.
Zhang Xiaowu squinted his eyes, wrapped himself tightly in the cloak, lowered his head and continued to move forward with the wind, but the walking speed became slower. The wind became stronger and stronger, and it hurt like a knife on his face. He couldn't help but
I looked for a taller stone to escape the harsh wind and sand.
The sound of the wind gradually became louder, from rustling to whining, like a ghost crying or a wolf howling.
Zhang Xiaowu often heard this sound when he was in Tucheng. At that time, every night when he was guarding the city, he would squat in the corner, listen to the sound of the wind, look at the stars, and recall his experiences before time travel. He even felt that everything in the past, including
Taking a bath every night is a great enjoyment. Now he has to take a bath every five or six days. If the soldiers in the epidemic village had not dug a big bathtub for him, they would not take a bath in half a year.
Those prisoners have never had a bath since they were captured.
"Modern life is so wonderful!" Zhang Xiaowu said silently in his heart, "I scold people on the Internet, watch movies, catch up on TV series, take the bus, no! I had a car at that time, a Great Wall h5, and I thought I could come at any time.
It was a trip that I wanted to take, but this old car only made it as far as my hometown. It was despised by others, especially those cousins, who said that if I bought it
If you can't afford a car, you can lend me money..."
While thinking about it, Zhang Xiaowu felt a little sleepy. He curled up his body as much as possible to reduce the heat carried away by the wind, and fell asleep in a daze.
"Ouch..."
A wolf howl woke up Zhang Xiaowu from his dream. He quickly held his bow and looked out, but he couldn't see any living thing. Apart from the sound of wind, there was the sound of howling and biting wolves.
"Oops, wolves, grass wolves! It's Saibei grass wolves!" Zhang Xiaowu was shocked in his heart.
The scary thing about the grass wolf is not its individual attack power. In fact, the grass wolf is not big, not even as big as the gray wolf in the mountains of the Central Plains. Large domestic dogs are also larger than the grass wolf. But the scary thing about the grass wolf is that,
It does not act alone. The grass wolf moves in a pack. There are about thirty grass wolves in a group. What's even more terrible is that the grass wolf pack will call other wolf packs for support when encountering strong enemies, and other wolf packs will also risk their lives.
Earth rescue.
Grass wolves are very vindictive. Hunters on the grassland will only kill grass wolves unless they have to. Once they kill a wolf, they must be exterminated. Otherwise, if one is released, the wolf pack will take revenge day and night until death. End the wolf
There are only two ways for a pack to retaliate. Either the whole family of the wolf-killing family will be killed, or the wolf pack will be exterminated. If the wolf pack still has cubs hiding around and survive by chance, after a few years when the cubs grow up, they will
Will continue to take revenge.
Shao Zifu once said that he would rather provoke a tiger than a grass wolf.
Grass wolves are very smart, and they are not willing to provoke humans. After all, in the vast Saibei wilderness, humans are the smartest and cunningest of all animals. But if they encounter a lone person, they will never let it go. Zhang Xiaowu is now a lone person.
Single person.
Zhang Xiaowu is not an immortal person. He can only react extremely quickly between life and death, but he cannot really let himself be between life and death all the time. The feeling of controlling time is certainly refreshing for a while, but every time afterward,
This time I either fainted from exhaustion or became confused.
He felt so uncomfortable that he almost wanted to vomit. He was not a masochist. He liked the explosive power between life and death. He was just an ordinary person, so he could only pray that Cao Lang would not find himself in such a windy and sandy day. If Cao Lang knew
If he were alone, he would definitely not let go of such a piece of meat.
Fortunately, the grass wolf seemed to be entangled in something at this time and could not find him yet.
Naturally, Zhang Xiaowu couldn't let go of this opportunity to escape. He quickly stood up and ran against the wind in the opposite direction from where the wolves were howling.
