Daming: From the end of Hongwu

Chapter 41 041 - Tracking
This operation to go deep into the grassland is not a trip to the mountains and rivers, it is a war, it is a dangerous activity, and it is an investigation of sneaking into the enemy's camp.

This point, Zhen Wu and others have a clear understanding.

However, looking at the neatly organized corpses in front of him at this moment, he was still a little shocked.

How many people were attacked and killed suddenly?

Will none of them survive?
……

At first it was just the wind blowing.

Then it started snowing.

The snow was not heavy, it was as small as sand particles, and the wind forced it on everyone's bodies. After a while, everyone was stained with white spots.

This was clearly the scene of the accident.

There was a mess, blood was everywhere, and the person who killed them didn't cover up anything, so it was easy to judge that a group of sudden enemies attacked and killed them.

But as for the specific situation, how many people there are on the other side is hard to say from the scene.

Zhen Wu raised his head and looked into the distance, and a line of horseshoe prints continued into the distance, presumably it was the trace left by the enemy after killing someone and then left.

"This..." Someone wanted to say something, but didn't know how to say it.

Zhu Neng said: "Bury the body first."

We are all guards. In such a situation, it is impossible to let the corpses be exposed to the wilderness.

Immediately, Zhen Wu and the others simply buried the corpses of their comrades-in-arms in silence, and when they were almost busy, they all sat on the ground with no image, and some even lay on the ground with their limbs sprawled across the ground.

Regardless of the crisis that may still arise.

He didn't sleep much last night, not only fought a fight, but also fled in a hurry for so long, the tough man couldn't resist anymore.

"Should we catch up?" Someone asked suddenly.

Everyone is not stupid. It is definitely not a simple nomad who can kill ten elite sentinels. It is very likely that they are the remnants of Beiyuan. As long as they follow the trail left by the other party, they will definitely gain something.

but……

"Once they find out, the other party can kill ten of them, can't they kill us?" Some people have doubts.

"Don't be a soldier if you're afraid of death." The person who spoke at the beginning said bluntly.

At this time, Gu Ming also spoke.

"Don't forget one thing, our military tents were burned down, and a lot of heating equipment was lost, and if my guess is right, the weather will be a bit colder in the past few days. Let's go back now, maybe we can fight back home, If you stay in the grassland for a long time, and the result...hehe, I won't talk about it."

Everyone was stunned for a moment, and they all noticed the difficulty that was pressing on their heads.

Zhen Wu smiled: "What? Someone wants to confess?"

Zhang Wu immediately thought of the competition before they entered the grassland, looked at Zhen Wu's serious expression, and grinned: "It's okay if someone wants to admit defeat, it's not shameful to lose to our brothers."

An impatient member of the central guard immediately countered: "Fuck your mother, whoever loves the grandson."

Zhang Wu raised his head, with a look of disdain to answer.

Immediately, many people were so angry that their teeth itched.

Zhu Neng looked at Zhen Wu at this moment, and said seriously: "Do you want to chase?"

As soon as he opened his mouth, everyone present fell silent, and followed Zhu Neng's gaze to look at Zhen Wu.

For Zhen Wu, these people somewhat admire, not only Zhen Wu's perseverance these days, but also Zhen Wu's performance last night, Zhen Wu who led the charge with fire, I have to say that it is unforgettable in their minds .

Zhen Wu pondered for a while, looked up at the crowd and said: "We have suffered so much in the grassland, and now we have found traces, so there is no reason not to pursue them. As for problems such as danger or cold, we have to find a way to solve them. Just talking about the cold weather, we old men huddled together to keep warm, I really don't believe that the mere cold can leave us all on the grassland."

Zhu Neng nodded, and then turned his gaze to Gu Ming.

After all, Gu Ming is the team leader this time.

"Then chase." Gu Ming fixed his attention, and then immediately arranged: "Since we want to chase, everyone should move quickly. If the snow falls heavily in a while, after covering the tracks, we will not be able to chase."

Everyone was obedient, got up quickly, moved their hands and feet briefly, got on their horses one after another, and chased along the trail.

Gu Ming is quite good at tracking.

It is possible to judge how long the other party has been away through the traces left by the other party.

And with Gu Ming, a familiar hand, everyone felt a little more at ease when they followed up.

After chasing until the sky gradually darkened, Gu Ming stretched out his hand to stop the crowd, he got off his horse, checked the traces left by the other party, and said: "The traces are getting newer and newer, we should not be far away from the other party , be sure to reduce the noise from now on."

Zhen Wu also came over at this time, and after looking at it like Gu Ming did, he asked Gu Ming.

"How far do you think it is from the other party? If it's not too far, we might as well walk there in the dark. The other party will definitely camp at night, and we won't be afraid of losing our followers. Let Lao Wu lead the horse behind us, and it can prevent the horse from making any noise."

Gu Ming made some calculations, then nodded: "Yes, it's more stable this way."

Afterwards, everyone got off their horses one after another. After handing over the horses to Lao Wu, they trotted forward.

After running, my body gradually heats up, and I don't feel cold. It's just that the energy is consumed too quickly, and it won't take long. Not only will I be hungry, but my physical strength will also be exhausted.

Slowly it was completely dark.

After a few people walked in the dark for a while, they saw a flame in the distance.

As the crowd got closer and closer, after climbing up a low slope, they finally saw the enemy camped in a sheltered place under the low slope. Looking at the military tents and horses, there were about 50 or [-] people.

Several people climbed on the hillside, trying to expose as much as possible.

Zhu Neng asked Gu Ming in a low voice: "You are well-informed, can you recognize which tribe they belong to?"

After careful identification, Gu Ming finally shook his head and said, "It's a little far away, so I can't see clearly."

But at this moment, Zhen Wu suddenly said, "I do recognize someone."

Surrounded by military tents in the distance, beside a fire, sat a woman. The woman was dressed in a Mongolian costume, which made her look of extraordinary status, and her pretty face was even more charming under the jumping firelight.

Not at all, the rustic look when I first saw it.

It's just that one arm is broken, so it doesn't look so perfect.

Its style.

Back then, when Zhen Wu rescued Zhu Yuying, the woman dressed as a peasant woman held Zhu Yuying hostage.

Zhu Neng and the others looked at Zhen Wu at the same time, and Zhen Wu pointed to Qi Qige in the firelight: "Look at the woman with the broken arm. There was a confrontation before, and I cut off her arm."

Zhen Wu sighed: "I really didn't expect that she could escape the pursuit of the palace."

Palace? !
Zhu Neng immediately reacted: "Could it be the thief who held Princess Yong'an back then?"

Zhen Wu nodded.

Zhu Neng's eyes shined brightly.

"My father once told me that the gang of thieves who hijacked Princess Yong'an were the ones caught by Prime Minister Beiyuan."
