Chapter 155 Cossack Cavalry
When Fatty Lu saw the defensive effect of this weapon, he smiled like a chrysanthemum and praised repeatedly: "Good weapon, really good weapon, this should be a weapon used by men!" After saying that, he directly put the weapon on his back. After he was behind him, he had no intention of handing it back to Li Yuanhong.
Li Yuanhong didn't ask him for it. After all, he couldn't use the sword smoothly, so he might as well do it as a favor to Fatty Lu. Besides, this is just a test product. In the future, when Zhang Haitao has mastered enchantment, better weapons will not be randomly picked.
After testing the weapons, Li Yuanhong and the fat man with a mean smile walked back and met a panicked soldier. Looking at the soldier's clothes, he was obviously a soldier stationed on the Russian island. When the soldier saw Li Yuanhong, he hurriedly He ran over and said out of breath: "Report...report to the captain, something happened...over there in Russia!"
Li Yuanhong stopped and said to the soldier: "Don't be anxious, tell me slowly, what happened?"
The soldier took a breath and then said: "Vladivostok was attacked by horse bandits!"
"Horse bandit! What horse bandit?" Li Yuanhong was stunned. Since the end of the world, Li Yuanhong had encountered bandits. This was the first time he had heard of this horse bandit.
"These horse bandits were all riding horses and came and went very quickly. At that time, they attacked our search team in Vladivostok. Fortunately, they were not far from the Russky Island base and the team arrived in time. Otherwise, this team might have been killed. , looking at the clothes of these people, they don’t look like the people of the Russian army, and the horses they ride are also very strange, taller than ordinary horses, and very fast. We archers have no way to aim and shoot. Even if they are fully covered and shot, it is almost impossible. Can't hurt them." When the soldier said this, he obviously felt scared.
Li Yuanhong frowned. The fast cavalry was definitely a nightmare for the infantry. However, they dared to run into the city to plunder. This was not ordinary courage. If they did not find a way to deal with these horse bandits, their own Russian Island would probably not be stable in the future. developed.
So Li Yuanhong said to the soldier: "You go down and have a rest first, I will go back and prepare, and then we will set off together tomorrow morning." Li Yuanhong ordered.
"Yes!" The soldier saluted with a military salute, then turned and left.
When Li Yuanhong saw the soldiers walking away, he turned around and headed towards the weapons workshop. The fat man next to him said eagerly, "Brother Li, take me with you this time, just to test the power of my sword!" The fat man looked wretched. , Li Yuanhong couldn't refuse, I'm afraid this kid would give him something to hug his thighs and cry for his father and complain to his grandma. Judging from the fat man's posture, this kid might really be able to do it.
Li Yuanhong had no choice but to say: "Okay, but on the battlefield, you must obey orders!"
"Okay, absolutely no problem!" the fat man said, patting his bare chest.
The next day, Li Yuanhong took Fatty Lu and Fatty, as well as White Tiger and Griffin, boarded the hospital ship and set off for Russia Island.
At noon that day, Li Yuanhong landed on Russia Island. When he landed on the island, Li Yuanhong clearly felt that the atmosphere on the island was a bit tense. Especially when Li Yuanhong took over the bridge connecting the mainland, he saw that the bridgehead was heavily guarded, with archers and some armed with rifles. The soldiers were on alert to the outside world and clearly felt ready to fight at any time.
Li Yuanhong did not stop to ask about the specific situation carefully, but went directly to the island's meeting hall.
When Li Yuanhong came to the meeting hall, he realized that Wang Jingrong was discussing countermeasures with his officers. However, the meeting had been going on all morning and no countermeasures had been found yet.
When Li Yuanhong arrived at the door of the conference room, he heard Xiao Yongyi's voice coming from inside: "If it doesn't work, let our artillery come in. We can definitely blow these grandsons into the sky."
At this time, a sour voice responded: "When you set up the cannon, they will all escape to the sky, so you don't have to blow it up!"
"You...you're talking nonsense!" Xiao Yongyi said with a blush.
At this time, another voice said: "Yes, he is indeed talking nonsense. How can those cavalry be willing to run when they see the artillery? They will definitely come forward and invite all the artillery to the sky. The artillery is preparing to go to the sky to fire!"
When Li Yuanhong heard this, he knew that the atmosphere in the conference room was very explosive. If he had not shown up, he would probably start a fight with his own people. So he quickly pushed the door open and entered. As soon as the door was opened, the entire conference room turned to look at Li Yuanhong, and the conference room immediately became quiet.
Wang Jingrong, who was sitting in the main seat presiding over the meeting, saw Li Yuanhong coming in. He quickly stood up and greeted him: "Brother Li, you are finally here, but you made me anxious!"
"No need to be polite, let's talk about the situation first!" Li Yuanhong walked into the conference room and sat in the front seat. Wang Jingrong and Fatty sat on the left and right sides respectively.
Wang Jingrong reported: "That's it. After we recaptured the Twin Cities, most of the supplies were transported back to the base. Some living supplies are still scattered in the city, and there is also a large amount of supplies in Vladivostok that have not been collected. In addition, when you return When we arrived at the base, we were told to pay attention to the situation in the survivor base, so we sent many people to collect supplies and also paid attention to signs of other survivors. Some time ago, someone said that there were signs of human activity in the northeast of the Twin Cities, but I didn’t pay much attention. , but the day before yesterday, another hundred cavalry suddenly appeared from that direction. These people were riding horses, holding sabers, and carrying rifles on their backs. They rushed straight towards our search team. The search team was not large at the time. So we retreated quickly. They were driving a truck, and the speed was not very fast, only 80 miles. As a result, they were kicked out of Vladivostok and surrounded. Fortunately, they sent us a distress signal before they were surrounded, and we We just arrived in time, but a few minutes late, we were killed by these people." Speaking of this, Wang Jingrong also showed a rare look of worry.
"Later, they sent people to attack us several times, but I reduced the team to Vladivostok, so there was no loss. However, this also restricted our further development, and the other party moved too quickly, and we could not track their whereabouts , and didn’t know their attack route, so they set up ambushes several times, but they all failed!”
Wang Jingrong finished his report and then sat down. Li Yuanhong fell into deep thought. Although there are mountains and rivers in the Far East, most of the areas are plains, which are suitable for cavalry combat. Moreover, according to Wang Jingrong's introduction, these cavalry are not slow and can at least outrun an eighty-mile truck with endurance. It's also very good. It's more than a hundred kilometers from the Twin Cities to Vladivostok. There is no slowdown for such a long distance. This shows that these horses must be mutant horses, and these cavalry are probably also evolved people. It seems that in order to eliminate these people, we must first find their lair, so that these gangsters can be completely eliminated.
So Li Yuanhong asked: "Jing Rong, do you have any photos or videos of those horse bandits?"
"Yes, a guard took photos of them with his mobile phone two days ago."
Nowadays, although mobile phones cannot make calls, they are mostly used as compact photo and video equipment and have become essential equipment for investigation. But only Li Yuanhong and the others can afford it. Other bases don’t even have electricity. Where can they charge their mobile phones?
Li Yuanhong took the phone and saw in the photo on the phone, a cavalryman riding a tall brown-red horse, holding a saber high, vigorously urging the mount forward, and the rifle behind him became embellishment. The horse he sat down on was unusually handsome, with two eyes that shone extraordinarily brightly, and its limbs were extraordinarily developed. Its body was stronger than that of ordinary horses, and it was nearly a head taller. More importantly, these There are patterns on the horse's limbs. If you don't know how to do it, you will think that it is an ordinary pattern. However, Li Yuanhong has studied rune magic and knows that it is wind magic: acceleration magic runes.
Not only are there something special about these horses, but these soldiers on horseback also feel a little weird, and they always feel awkward. These cavalrymen wore black cloaks, tall round hats, and long riding boots. They looked like the warlords in TV dramas from the past. Li Yuanhong even doubted whether these people had traveled through time. The clothes they wore in the summer were so tight and thick, and they were not afraid of getting prickly heat.
While Li Yuanhong was studying the photos, the conference room hall was opened again, and Masnuo ran in in a panic. As soon as he saw Li Yuanhong, he shouted: "Captain Li, help, we are being attacked by Cossacks. If we don’t save him, our village will be doomed!”
