This sum of gold is of great use to Zhang Bao and the others.
It's not just for the value of the gold itself, which is secondary, but because the gold can become a burden to China's team, which is why they can catch up with China's team.
If.
If China's team carried this gold all the way, the weight of the gold would seriously slow down their speed.
In this way, their men and horses might be able to catch up, but if Chi Na and all of them were not hindered by gold in the process, it would be impossible for them to catch up with any trace on this grassland.
Their horses are fast and they are familiar with the environment, which are their advantages.
Sure enough, after a while, someone discovered traces of excavation on the side.
I kept digging down and found a lot of gold underneath.
Zhang Bao looked at the gold and was not very happy. In Zhang Bao's view, the gold would be his own sooner or later, and there was no need to worry about other things.
However, once the gold is shelved, it will no longer be a burden to those in the Kled tribe.
Once this goes, I'm afraid there will be no trace left.
Zhang Bao and the others were negotiating, busy, and engaging in intrigues, all with the aim of getting rid of Chi Na. But if Chi Na ran away, even if they could kill those people now, it would not mean much.
"Sir, sporadic traces of fighting have been found in the depth ahead, spreading deep into the grassland."
Just as Zhang Bao was sighing, a man suddenly came to report.
Just now, after Zhang Bao and the others chased here, they dispersed to look for traces.
After all, there are no traces left since arriving here.
"Signs of sporadic fighting?"
"How many bodies of the Dragon Guard have been discovered so far?"
Zhang Bao suddenly thought of something.
"Ninety-seven corpses in total!"
Someone next to him said to Zhang Bao.
"quick!"
"Five thousand men and horses are left here to dig for gold. After digging it out, they will be transported directly to Liaozhou."
"All the remaining horses should immediately chase in the direction with traces of fighting. The distance on both sides should be extended by five miles to the left and right of the scouts."
"quick!"
Zhang Bao gave an order, and everyone took action again.
With a clear direction, Zhang Bao and the others also tried their best to pursue.
For them, they all understand the current situation of the Dragon Guard. Since a confrontation has occurred, it means that their situation is completely dangerous.
The Dragon Guard only had a few hundred people, and that team had more than 10,000 people, so they were no match at all.
Zhang Bao and the others pursued all the way, and found corpses left on the grassland along the way. Some were the corpses of the Dragon Guards, and some were the corpses of the Dragon Guards and the grassland barbarians who died together.
Very scattered on the grassland.
Sometimes there is one dozens of meters away, and sometimes there is one thousands of meters away.
Although they are scattered left, right, and left.
But they are all pointing in a direction deep into the grassland.
Zhang Bao led his men to the front. The more he looked at these corpses, the more shocked he became.
Just as he had guessed, these Dragon Guard men used their corpses to guide them behind.
Otherwise, there are no instructions on this vast grassland, let alone finding a way. Even if you walk in a straight line, you may not be able to walk out.
"Sir, there are already three hundred and eleven corpses."
One person caught up and said to Zhang Bao.
Along the way, Zhang Bao and the others kept leaving people behind and counting the number of Dragon Guards.
"I understand. Tell them that they must count everyone's names and then transport the remains back to Daxia."
"Let them expand the search scope and traces, and make sure not to miss them. If they appear, they must be near the left and right of this route."
Zhang Bao said to the visitor while riding his horse.
"yes!"
The man turned his horse's head and ran quickly towards the back.
"Sir, it's getting late now, and we have been chasing for a day and a night. Many people are already exhausted, and the team is already very long. Should we take a rest in front?"
The scout in front ran back and said to Zhang Bao.
"Order everyone not to stop and continue to chase. At night, light the torches for me and pursue as fast as possible."
"It doesn't matter if you keep the distance. Tell everyone, even if the horse is killed by me, you must still run for me and keep chasing!"
"The life or death of the Dragon Guard is unknown now. As long as we catch up, they will have hope!"
"Instruct the first echelon in front to immediately pursue the route left by the Dragon Guard. Don't rest or stop. We are tired, and the enemy is even more tired. Chase them and kill them!"
Zhang Bao said to the man.
"Yes, understand!"
The visitor roared loudly and immediately rushed forward.
At this time, deep in the grassland, there were only about twenty people around Zhao Sunlong.
Almost all of them were injured, their mounts were gone, and they were surrounded by hundreds of grassland barbarians.
Just now, these grassland barbarians had outflanked this group of people from both sides and successfully surrounded them.
After several charges, Zhao Sunlong and the others had these people left, and the horses had also been killed.
But during the charge just now, the remaining dozens of people once again seized their horses and escaped in confusion. This situation has happened three times.
So until now, the barbarians surrounding them did not dare to attack rashly.
If they seize the opportunity to snatch the horses and escape again, they will really be tortured to death.
And the bows and arrows they carried along the way have long been used up. Now there is nothing they can do around Zhao Sunlong and the others.
"Chief, let's charge again. We only have this small number of people. Even if we snatch the horses, they won't go too far. At worst, we can just continue to surround them."
A grassland barbarian said to the leader of this group of people.
"Don't you see where this has gone?"
"If Chief China knew that we stayed to stop these Daxia people and were chased to a place like this by the Daxia people, do you think we would still be alive?"
The leader said very unhappy.
They didn't expect that these Daxia people could run so well and be so desperate.
After running like crazy all this way, they have almost arrived at the base camp of their Klei tribe.
If China really discovered this situation, they would be ruined.
"Everyone, dismount!"
"I don't believe that without horses, our warriors on the grassland would be no match for these Daxia people!"
"Warriors, pick up the scimitars in your hands, use your knives to slit the throats of the Daxia people, and use their blood to pay homage to our dead warriors!"
"Come at me!"
Under the leadership of the leader of the grassland barbarians, the grassland barbarians surrounding Zhao Sunlong and the others all rushed towards Zhao Sunlong and the others with their swords.
