"Those stupid Tartars, they're really stupid." Wang Xia said excitedly and loudly. The group rushed through the obstruction of the Tartar cavalry, and their mood was greatly relaxed, and they were also in the mood to talk and laugh. Before that, they never thought that Xu Xingxia could take them to easily break through the blockade of the Tartar cavalry in such a way. It seems that the rumors in the rivers and lakes are really not wrong, and it is really very comfortable to fight with Xu Xingxia!

"Don't be too happy, Sobud will catch up!" Xu Xingxia said calmly.

"Why?" Mao Thirteen said a little disbelievingly. He hadn't woken up from the excitement of getting out of trouble. If a battle breaks out just now, it is estimated that the consequences will be unimaginable. Even if they can protect Xu Xingxia from difficulties, at least half of them will be sacrificed. It's amazing that everyone is out of trouble safe and sound.

"Sobud is not stupid, and he quickly understands the cause and effect. He will soon understand that we are fleeing for our lives, not robbing him of his goods. This is their best chance to kill me, with the hatred of the Tartars for us, they will not let go easily. What's more, Tesna is still in my hands! Her attraction is great! Xu Xingxia said calmly.

"What then?" Mao Thirteen frowned and asked. They thought about it carefully and felt that Xu Xingxia's worries were completely justified. After all, there are a lot of people around Sobud, there are 500 people! As long as three hundred men are sent to hunt them down, they will all feel the pressure. The surrounding terrain is very unfavorable to the white-clothed army. If they scatter and run away, there should be no problem. However, it will be difficult to go back with Tesna smoothly.

"Feng Qingwu!" Xu Xingxia beckoned.

"What do you command?" Feng Qingwu hurriedly responded.

"You stragglers, move freely!" Xu Xingxia said briefly.

"My lord, this ......" Feng Qingwu didn't react for a while. If he was carrying out skirmishers, wouldn't there be only Wang Xia and Mao 13 on Xu Xingxia's side? How can this be? If something happens to Xu Xingxia, he will regret it for the rest of his life.

Wang Xia reacted this time and explained: "Old Feng, what your lord means, is that you Eagle Cavalry Army, you have to give full play to your strengths, fight freely, and don't continue to follow us." This Tesna was taken away by the adults and the two of us! ”

Feng Qingwu hurriedly said, "That...... Sobud will chase you! ”

Wang Xia said with a smile: "If you disperse, Sobud will dare to catch up!" There were good things in his carriages. There's no way he's not worried about the good stuff. I'm telling you, old wind, if you have a chance, you might as well fight those carriage ideas. ”

Xu Xingxia nodded and said slowly: "Feng Qingwu, you have two tasks. One was to delay Sobud's pursuit as much as possible. On the one hand, it was to delay Sobud's marching speed as much as possible, so that he could not easily reach Datong Mansion. His goods were all snatched from us Han people, and we have to find a way to get them back. ”

After a slight pause, Xu Xingxia said again: "From here to the Pearl Sea, the distance is not far. As long as I return to the Pearl Sea, I will have enough personnel to protect me. Don't you still have dozens of stragglers operating near the Pearl Sea? Therefore, you don't need to worry about me. Your task is to keep Sobud on the horizon and wait for reinforcements to arrive. ”

Feng Qingwu finally understood this time. That's right, those Eagle Cavalry stragglers under his command, as long as they disperse and fight freely, who can catch them? As long as there are no specific tasks and no special concerns, the entire Mongolian steppe is their battlefield. There was no problem at all with more than forty stragglers, scattering their activities and pinning down a few hundred Tartar cavalry.

As for the latter task, it made Feng Qingwu feel even more excited. Xu Xingxia's courage is indeed too big. Sobud is beating Xu Xingxia's idea, and Xu Xingxia is also beating Sobud's idea. Sobud fell in love with Xu Xingxia's head and Tessna's body, but Xu Xingxia fell in love with Sobud's goods. This time, it can really be said that the tip of the needle is against Maimang, it depends on who has the most superb skills and who can have the last laugh.

Sobud himself had to first weigh whether his carriages were safe or not. If he doesn't want his own carriage anymore, just chase after him desperately! As long as Xu Xingxia is safely out of danger, all the stragglers of the Eagle Cavalry Army will be able to gather and launch an all-round entanglement operation against Sobud's carriages. Feng Qingwu is confident, as long as Sobud is entangled by himself, it is not bad to be able to walk twenty or thirty miles a day.

From here to Datong Mansion, there is still a distance of thousands of miles. At the rate of thirty miles a day, it will take at least a month to walk. One month was enough time for Xu Xingxia to return to Zhenyuan Pass, mobilize other cavalry units of the White-clothed Army, and launch a surprise attack on Sobud. As long as the arrangements are properly arranged and executed effectively, it is not impossible to grab all the last batch of goods of the Helkin tribe before Sobud arrives in Datong Mansion.

The praying mantis catches the cicada, and the yellow finch is behind, it is estimated that it is difficult for Sobud to think that under such circumstances, Xu Xingxia would actually make up his mind about his goods! His greedy heart is really unprecedented, and there is no one to come! When Sobud wanted to capture Xu Xingxia wholeheartedly, his goods were remembered by the white-clothed army. By the time he came to his senses, he would probably regret it so much that his intestines were blue. is so dignified, what is he going to do to provoke Xu Xingxia?

"Good! Take care, my lord! I wish you all the best of luck! Feng Qingwu is also a cheerful person, since Xu Xingxia has made up his mind, he didn't say anything more. He could feel that the focus of his task was no longer to protect Xu Xingxia from danger, not to protect Xu Xingxia from taking Tesna safely, but how to find a way to get all the goods of Sobud. In other words, the current white-clothed army really needs money!

"Be safe yourselves! It's better not to fight the Tartars head-on! Don't let the Tartars perceive how many you are! Also, be careful not to push Sobud to the point of corner! If he hands over his wealth to Lin Dan Khan, then our thoughts will all be in vain. Xu Xingxia nodded, and said slowly.

"My subordinates understand! My lord, my subordinates have taken their leave! Feng Qingwu immediately issued an order, and with a group of Eagle Cavalry stragglers, he turned back to the original road, preparing to harass Sobud's pursuit. Their figures soon disappeared into the vast depths of the prairie.

Xu Xingxia clamped the horse's belly, took Tesina, Wang Xia and Mao Shisan, and continued to gallop in the direction of the Pearl Sea. They are only half a day's journey from the Pearl Sea at most, and there should be no surprises on the way.

...... "Damn it! ”

"Huza's war horse is so fast?"

About fifty or sixty miles behind Xu Xingxia, Sobud was obviously a little depressed.

He had been chasing for half a day, and he had not found any trace of the cavalry of the white-clothed army. If it weren't for the fact that the horseshoe prints on the ground were very clear, showing that Xu Xingxia and they had indeed fled from here, he might have suspected that he was chasing in the wrong direction. However, Sobud will never give up easily. As long as Xu Xingxia has not returned to Zhenyuanguan, he will chase all the way.

As long as he thought that Tesna was now controlled by Xu Xingxia, Sobud felt a belly full of lust. He was completely captivated by this woman. As long as you can get close to this woman, you are willing to pay a big price. Xu Xingxia in front and Lin Dan Khan in the back, at this moment, were completely abandoned by Sobud.

"Brothers! Come on! ”

"Brothers, run fast! It's about to catch up! ”

Sobud kept waving his horsewhip, urging his men to speed up.

However, unfortunately, the speed of his subordinates' pursuit was never fast. The main reason is that the good horses of the Kellergin tribe have been lost in all the battles. What they are using now are ordinary war horses, and their quality is not very good in all aspects. The skirmishers of the Eagle Cavalry Army used all the best war horses captured from the Tartars, and their quality in all respects was superior to the war horses used by the Tartar cavalry now.

Rao was so, and Sobud still did not give up the pursuit. He optimistically estimated that Xu Xingxia and they would definitely get tired of running, and their speed would definitely be reduced. Perhaps, as long as he continues to pursue for half a day, he will be able to see Xu Xingxia's back. For this reason, Sobud kept shouting loudly, constantly cheering up his subordinates, and stimulating them to run.

"Bang!"

Suddenly, a dull gunshot rang out.

All the Tartar cavalry hurriedly jumped off their horses, subconsciously hid behind their horses, bent their bows and arrows, and stared around vigilantly. Such an action, the Tartar does not need to go through the brain at all, and the conditioned reflex can do it. In fact, they were all frightened by the stragglers of the Eagle Cavalry. As soon as you hear the sound of muskets, your first reaction is to dismount and protect yourself. If you continue to stay on horseback, you can easily get shot. These bloody experiences were all exchanged for countless Tatar surnames.

"Where is the enemy?" Sobud asked hurriedly. When the gunfire came, he also jumped off his horse for the first time, hid behind the warhorse, and watched cautiously around. He, like his subordinates, was too jealous of the muskets of the white-clothed army. He would not do anything that might provoke the firing of the muskets in white.

There is no one to answer. Gunshots came from the northeast corner, right behind them. It's kind of weird. The cavalry of the White Army, actually behind them? Aren't they in front of the Tatars? When did you actually go around behind the Tatars? Some of the less timid Tatar cavalrymen even thought that they were surrounded by the white-clothed army, and their faces turned pale for a while, their breathing was short, and their hands holding the bows were trembling slightly.

Sobud himself was a little worried. The appearance of the cavalry of the White Army behind them is definitely not a good thing. The goods they themselves escorted were behind them. If the white cavalry went after their goods, they would be in great trouble. Of course, Sobud believes that the situation is not so bad. With the strength of those white-clothed troops just now, it is impossible to rush directly and rob them of their goods. Their strength can't do it.

Maybe the white cavalry was not very good marksmanship, or maybe the Tatar was lucky. After the gunshots rang out, no Tatars were injured, and the horses were fine. However, the sound of gunfire brought heavy psychological pressure to the Tartar cavalry. The fact that the gunfire just now did not cause casualties to the Tatars does not mean that the future gunshots will not cause them casualties.

If they continue to pursue, they may fall into the encirclement of the musketeers of the White Army. In this vast savannah, there is hardly any place to hide. If the whites had lurked in the grass and shot at them, they would have no chance of surviving. Everything can only depend on whether God favors it or not.

Sobud also understands this truth. Those musketeers of the White Army have inflicted great losses on the entire Kellergin tribe. Now, their presence here is also not a good thing. Although it is said that his three hundred cavalry greatly outnumbered the other party. However, if the two sides were playing hide-and-seek on the savannah, they would not necessarily be the match for the white-clad musketeers. It's just that he refuses to withdraw his troops easily, and he can't give up his efforts.

"Keep going!" Sobud ordered stupidly. After taking a closer look around and seeing that there was nothing special, Sobud turned on his horse and ordered his men to move on.

The Tartar cavalry looked at each other, and they all felt very helpless. In their own thoughts, they definitely don't want to continue to catch up, so as not to kill themselves. Targeted by the musketeers of the White Army, where will there be good fruit to eat? However, Sobud had orders, and they could not fail to carry them out. The military law of the Tatars is still very severe, and the punishment of beheading is often the punishment. There was no way, so they had to turn over and get on their horses, urge the war horses, and continue to move forward.

However, consciously or unconsciously, the pace of the advance of the Tartar cavalry has slowed down considerably. At such a speed, not to mention chasing Xu Xingxia and them, it is not enough to chase and kill a wild boar. The distance between them and Xu Xingxia will only get farther and farther. The eyes of each of them were vigilantly fixed on the surroundings, for fear that a musketeer from the White Army would suddenly appear.

Sobud himself was also very cautious. His body, always walking in the middle of the Tartar cavalry, will never move to the flanks. Under the protection of the surrounding Tartar cavalry, the musketeers of the White Army, who wanted to shoot him, were unlikely. But, even so, Sobud felt a huge psychological pressure. If a sudden projectile hits his body directly, no one knows what the consequences will be.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

Suddenly, there were several more muffled gunshots.

These gunshots seemed to confirm some of the thoughts of the Tartar cavalry.

The sound of gunfire was a clear reminder to all the Tartar cavalry that they had entered the control area of the White Army. This is the territory of the White Army, and the White Army is in charge. Every gunshot threatens them with death. If they are interested, they immediately turn their horses around and leave. Otherwise, what awaits them will surely be a fierce blow of destruction. If their luck is too bad, they may be wiped out.

In fact, as if for the sake of a demonstration, or as a warning, this time, the luck of the Tartar cavalry was indeed not as good as it was just now. After three shots, the Tartar cavalry was killed and wounded. The Tartar, who was killed on the spot, naturally fell headlong to the ground, and there was no movement. The wounded Tartar cavalryman, after a painful struggle, also gave up. This made the other Tartar cavalry subconsciously feel that behind their backs, it was cold, as if a projectile would come at any time and kill them.

"It looks like a skirmish of the Eagle Cavalry!" Some of the Tartar cavalry cried out.

"Damn skirmishers! These vile and shameless huzas! "Sobud was so angry.

After encountering accidents again and again, he did not connect the white-clothed cavalry around Xu Xingxia with the stragglers of the Eagle Cavalry for a while. For the Tartars, the cavalry of the White Army, and the skirmishers of the Eagle Cavalry are two different concepts. The latter concept made the Tartar cavalry even more fearful. Because, the stragglers of the Eagle Cavalry have directly threatened the border of the Kellergin tribe. Every day, Tatars died at the hands of the carvor stragglers.

Sobud had always thought that the guards around Xu Xingxia were ordinary white-clothed cavalry, and there was no big deal. Relying on the advantage of numbers, you can completely kill the other party. However, now that the skirmishers of the Eagle Cavalry have appeared, the problem seems to be serious. For the name of the Eagle Cavalry stragglers, as well as their combat effectiveness, Sobud has a deep understanding. The superiority of the Tatars in numbers had no deterrent effect on the skirmishers of the Eagle Cavalry. Others dare to challenge the entire Hellerkin tribe at close range, and still care about your hundreds of people?

"Am I wrong?" Sobud quietly questioned himself. Xu Xingxia has the protection of the Eagle Cavalry stragglers, and it is basically impossible for him to hunt him down again. The combat effectiveness of the stragglers of the Eagle Cavalry Army is too strong, and the tactics are too insidious, and these hundreds of people are not their opponents at all. If you don't get it right, you will be chased and killed by the Eagle Cavalry stragglers.

Sobud's mission this time was originally to secretly escort the goods to Beijing and win the treatment of "annexation" for the Kellergin tribe. This is a very secret mission, and the less people know about it, the better. Extraneous branches will only bring bad effects to themselves. If, because of Tessna's incident, she caused losses to herself, it would be more than worth the loss.

To chase or not to chase?

What a tangled question.

"Bang!"

Suddenly, another gunshot rang out.

This time, it was gunfire from the southeast.

After the shots rang out, another Tartar cavalryman fell from his horse.

"Can't chase it!" Sobud hurriedly made up his mind. He was completely sure that they had indeed encountered the skirmishers of the Eagle Cavalry. In case you get entangled by the skirmishers of the Eagle Cavalry, things will be in trouble. When the time comes, not only will Xu Xingxia not be caught, Tesna will not be able to save him, and he will not even be able to keep his own belongings. If you lose your wife and lose your soldiers, it's over.

"Withdraw!"

Sobud said stupidly.
