Chapter 718 Bloody Red Willow
At noon
Da... da...
The sound of war horses sounded slowly, and the horsemen advanced lazily.
Two black spots came down the hillside. The two people on the horse were talking, and there were many branches on the horse.
"Old Ma, where are the camel thorns you mentioned? It's already noon, don't delay your meal!"
Gao Yu, who was a horse's head behind, complained and followed him out to perform the task, but Lao Ma insisted on taking the lead. I ordered something back and said it was requested by Yang Xiaotao.
Lao Ma looked at the sun and then in the direction ahead.
“Now, after passing that hillside, a little to the west, there is a puddle below, that’s it!”
“I don’t know if there is any water left.”
"It's so cold!"
Old Ma said, reaching out and touching the red willow behind his back.
This is what he promised Yang Xiaotao, and he finally found it this time. Unfortunately, it has turned yellow now. If it were summer, the red flowers would be gratifying.
I finally dug it out, and I originally wanted to go back, but thinking that Yang Xiaotao said the more the better, I thought there was a bunch of camel thorns here, and I just happened to take it back.
"Old Ma, do you think Teacher Yang will succeed? Will corn grow in saline-alkali land?"
"I don't know, but Teacher Yang is a learned person and knows more than us!"
"Yes. Lao Ma, do you think this is salt corn? Do you not need to buy salt in the future? ”
Gao Yu said curiously, Lao Ma didn’t know. He said, chirping, "Well, maybe, yes."
"If they were all planted..."
The two of them walked together, going down the hillside, and then again After walking for a while, when they were about to go uphill, both of them suddenly pulled on the reins and looked tense.
He jumped off his horse and looked at the ground above him.
"Old horse, it's a horse seal."
Gao Yu confirmed after looking at it.
“There are quite a few, look over there!”
“This is horse manure!”
The old horse pointed forward. The surrounding land had been ravaged to form a carpet, with flat sides and no stubble on the trampled area.
A series of horse dung in twos and threes, there are many around.
“At least a hundred!”
Looking at it, these people should have stayed here. There are at least a hundred horse manure on site.
“Besides, one hour has passed.”
Seeing that the land had turned yellow and dried out from the sun, the old horse reached out and pinched the horse dung and said definitely.
“Could it be a brother army?”
The old horse shook his head, “With such a large number of horses, several nearby farms together are not enough. Besides, it is really a brother army, what are you doing here? , this direction is not for the farm.”
Gao Yu frowned, dangers are everywhere in the Gobi.
The most dangerous ones are always people.
"What should we do? Go back and notify the farm?"
The old horse wiped it on the ground, "What else can we do? If we encounter it, just go and take a look and we will know."
As he said , the two nodded, and Gao Yu took out his pistol, this time with enough bullets.
The old horse took off the rifle from the horse's neck, the two got on the horse, and ran forward while talking about the traces.
The two of them were not very fast, and even more so when they sat down, their horses held back their energy to prevent accidents.
The two of them also had to be vigilant about their surroundings. Although the surroundings were empty and there were no mountains or dense forests, the terrain was rugged and bumpy. They might not find a group of people jumping out of the ditch until they were in front of them.
"Old horse, look, the road is gone!"
The two stopped in front of a bush. Gao Yu pointed at the horse prints that disappeared in front of them, as if they were suddenly smoothed away. .
The old horse stood on the horse, holding the rifle in his right hand and scanning the surroundings with his eyes.
The road is gone, which means that the other party is covering up their whereabouts and has bad intentions.
It also shows that the enemy is on the left and right.
The two looked at each other and both became more vigilant.
"Xiao Gao, go back!"
Lao Ma looked at the surrounding terrain for a while and recalled in his mind that there was a puddle three to five miles ahead. If a large group of people hide their traces, That's the best option there.
However, the most important thing right now is to spread the news. Whether the other party is friend or foe, the farm must be prepared.
"No, I'll go with you."
Gao Yu refused. He could still help if he stayed. In this vast neighborhood, as long as the two of them helped, he could always run away.
"Don't waste time, go back quickly."
"If it is an enemy, and the enemy hides his whereabouts and sneaks here, it will only be two hours away from our farm."
< br>"Let Captain Mu be prepared. You know, if something happens to those things on the farm, no one can afford it."
Lao Ma said harshly, Gao Yu wanted to refute, but Lao Ma didn't give him a chance to speak at all. He kicked Gao Yu's seated war horse, and the war horse ran away in pain.
At the next moment, a gunshot was heard, and both of them jumped.
While running, Gao Yu turned around and saw five or six cavalrymen rushing down the hillside not far away, shooting with guns in their hands.
The gunshot just hit the ground. If he hadn't been kicked by Lao Ma, he would have been hit.
“Run!”
The old horse reacted quickly, clamped its legs between its belly, and the horse galloped forward, stabbing sideways.
Gao Yu glanced at the people rushing down, weighed the importance in his mind, leaned down, and accelerated his horse.
Bang, bang, bang
The gunshots continued and bullets whizzed.
On the hillside, Tieying watched the two people escaping with anger.
The sentry who was originally on duty had already discovered the two of them, but he didn't want to alert the enemy, so he didn't take action.
Tie Ying led his men to ambush here, intending to catch them both in one fell swoop.
Butterfly wants to take something out of their mouths to confirm the target.
But when the other party was about to enter the encirclement, he suddenly stopped. His posture must have been to go back and report the news.
They had no choice but to shoot and keep the two of them.
But unexpectedly, by some mistake, he missed again.
"Catch them, don't let them run away!"
Tie Ying gritted his teeth and shouted, and asked five or six people to chase Gao Yu who was running away.
Butterfly frowned, "Captain Tie, we've been exposed, we don't need to wait any longer."
"I think, let's be quick and go now."
< br>
Tie Ying was stunned, "Do you know where the target is?"
Butterfly frowned for a moment, "The general location is correct, there are so many of us, are we afraid that we can't find it?"
Tie Ying's heart Tangled, the original plan was to raid at night, which had a high success rate and low casualties.
Now, in broad daylight, leading a group of cavalry to attack the enemy's defense line is still well prepared. Even if they are defeated, they will suffer heavy casualties.
These are all his brothers.
"Captain Tie, don't hesitate! We are here, surrounded by enemies. If we delay any longer, we will be doomed." "Besides, the one who escaped back happened to be leading the way for us."
< br>
Tie Ying was so reminded by Butterfly that she suddenly broke into a cold sweat.
“You’re right.”
“Just do it!”
After speaking, he turned around and asked his men to mount their horses.
Bang bang bang
The old horse galloped away and turned around to shoot.
The people behind them also fired, so both sides carefully controlled the direction while chasing and escaping.
Lao Ma saw the figures dodging on the horseback behind him. Most of the bullets fired by the rifle were dodged. The five people behind him have not reduced yet.
These people are not simple.
It was different from the bandits he had encountered before.
Behind me, the sound of gunfire sounded like exploding beans. Bullets were flying around the war horse. It was obvious that the opponent's target was the war horse.
The old horse changed the bullet, and when he looked back, he shot the horse in front of him in the head.
With a scream, the war horse crashed down, but the gangster on the horse nimbly flipped off the horse, rolled on the ground twice, and stood up without any problems.
Old bandit!
Lao Ma's heart sank again and he speeded up again.
Rumble
Suddenly, the sound of a large number of horses running was heard. The old horse looked and saw more than a hundred people rushing down the hillside, roaring and rushing in the direction of Gao Yu.
“Not good!”
Seeing Gao Yu running wildly in front, the three or five people hanging thousands of meters behind him, and the cavalry group that had just come down, Lao Ma immediately understood the opponent's plan.
The horse's head turned around. The old horse ignored the horse bandits chasing behind him and rushed forward thinking of the horse bandits behind Gao Yu.
Bang Bang Bang
Charging from the side, Lao Ma took the lead in shooting and stopped the chasing team. After three shots, the two fell off the horse.
The remaining two people who were chasing looked at the old horse that was closing in, and fired one after another.
The two parties approached quickly, their rifles emptied of bullets. The bandit looked at the old horse approaching, picked up his saber, and rushed forward.
Lao Ma stuck the bayonet on the muzzle of the gun, and they hedged together before they could move.
Puch
Chila
Two voices sounded, the war horse missed, and there were two people sitting on the horse.
A man in front of Lao Ma was stabbed through the chest by a bayonet, and the opponent's saber left a mark on his neck.
Then the saber fell, and he was knocked off his horse by the rifle and fell to the ground.
The other man pulled the reins of the horse, knocked away the blood on the saber, and looked at the person in front of him solemnly.
The old horse reined in the horse and turned its head, his face pale.
On his back, blood was flowing from a palm-long gash.
Chopped sawdust stained the surroundings, and the yellowish appearance gradually turned red.
Thanks to the obstruction of the red willow on the horse, most of the force was absorbed. Otherwise, this chop would have been solid and the body would have been divided into two halves.
When he reached out and wiped his hand, Lao Ma's face turned gloomy.
In the distance, the rumbling sound is getting closer and closer, and the horses are charging faster and faster.
Looking back, Gao Yu disappeared from sight.
He needs to buy more time.
“Kill!”
Both of them shouted violently at the same time.
At this moment, I don’t think about anything, I don’t have time to think about anything, everything happens in an instant.
Pfft
Pfft
The bayonet penetrated the chest.
The saber cut open the abdomen.
Crack
The bandit fell to the ground wailing.
But Lao Ma tried his best to sit on the horse.
He reached out to cover the opening in his abdomen, and the tamarisk tree behind him was stained red with blood.
Rumble
The pursuing cavalry stopped in the distance, shocked by the tragedy in front of them.
Behind them, a group of cavalry rushed over, approaching from far away.
Tieying looked at the corpse on the ground with an ugly expression.
These are all brothers who survived the battlefield, but were killed by one person.
What's even more disgusting is that the original goal he is chasing has become blurred, and no one will be seen if he delays it any longer. How can he be willing to do so?
"Speed up and catch up."
Tie Ying waved the box cannon in his hand and roared loudly.
The horse bandits rushed forward.
“Be careful!”
Butterfly beside him suddenly saw the movement of the man in front of him, shouted immediately, and pulled Tieying by the way, causing his speed to drop sharply.
Lao Ma's realization began to blur, and the pain made him lose his strength.
Looking at the horse bandit in front of him, he smiled brightly.
"You bastards."
The grenade was pulled away from the chest, and gunpowder smoke curled up.
"Teacher Yang, I can't give it to you, I've found it!"
The murmur was drowned out by the loud roar.
More than a dozen horses that rushed forward were directly exploded, and the nearby war horses were frightened by the noise, and they swerved away one by one.
The people behind were too late and could only watch helplessly as they were hit.
The momentum of the charge suddenly stopped and there was chaos.
Tie Ying felt the moisture on his cheeks, and a terrifying picture suddenly appeared in his mind.
Same clothes, same people.
That time, their group was forcibly broken into pieces by a company using this desperate fighting method, and their former pride was shattered.
That time, they failed, threw away everything, lost everything, and became a prodigal dog.
It was also that time that the man who rushed up with a calm face while firing a grenade became their eternal nightmare.
In the chaos, Tie Ying finally came to his senses after being slapped on the cheek and hearing the anxious look of a woman in his ear.
"Hurry up, don't stop, hurry up!"
The sound of butterflies came to mind in his ears. Tie Ying thought of something and immediately fired two shots into the air. The chaos slightly recovered. Then he led the people and rushed out.
Rumble
The war horse stepped on the bloody soil and gradually moved away.
After a while, the Gobi was calm again.
Only a bayonet stuck in the ground emitting blood-red light, guarding a blood-stained red willow.
