Chapter 159: The Destruction of the Bandits
The two sides began to exchange fire. The bandits wanted to quickly approach the convoy, but the soldiers on the convoy were trained, and their shooting accuracy and speed were better than those of ordinary survivors. Therefore, the bandits were blocked by the barrage at a distance of 100 meters. Moreover, many horse bandits were injured. This situation made the commander of the horse bandits very angry. He kept shouting and even had someone bring a rocket launcher from behind. As soon as this thing appeared, it immediately caused Masino to panic. This thing shot at armored vehicles. , both the armored vehicle and the people on it have to finish playing.
"Captain Li, be careful of the RPG on the other side!" Masnow shouted.
Li Yuanhong calmly aimed at the opponent's soldiers. If he wanted to shoot the RPG, he had to dismount. The most important thing was that when aiming and shooting, he could not move. There could be no people before and after the shooting. Moreover, the RPG shooting range was up to one thousand meters. , if you want to shoot accurately, there are only 400 meters, which is completely a living target.
The opposing soldier carried the RPG and got out of the vehicle 350 meters away from the convoy. If it was an ordinary shooter, this distance would generally be inaccurate. If there were obstacles in front, it would be absolutely safe to shoot at this distance. But today, they met a master of sniper cheating. With the help of Li Yuanhong's Eye of Truth, the opponent's weaknesses were undoubtedly exposed.
The opponent had just squatted down to pick up the RPG. Before he could put his eyes in front of the scope, a bullet flew directly over. As soon as the opponent's soldier stared at the scope, he saw a bullet magnifying in front of his eyes. This soldier Before the soldier could open his mouth and scream out fear, the bullet was loaded onto the rocket. A ball of fire instantly exploded on the soldier's shoulder. With the deafening explosion, the man and the RPG disappeared together. In flames.
The commander of the horse bandits was waiting for the explosion when the RPG hit the armored vehicle, but suddenly a loud noise came from not far away from him. The commander was stunned and turned around to see that his soldier had been blown to pieces. , the commander who didn’t know what was going on, ordered other Sanming RPG shooters to fire together. He didn’t believe how many snipers the other party could have. This sniper shooting was not like ordinary shooting, which could shoot continuously. Who could use a sniper rifle? As a rifle wielder, there would be no need to fight this battle. For safety's sake, the commander specifically asked the RPG shooter to stand four hundred meters away, which was the limit for ordinary soldiers to shoot.
The three RPG shooters dismounted at the same time, and the distance between each of them was more than ten meters. Unless Li Yuanhong sent three blockers at the same time, the rocket attack would definitely tear a hole in the opponent's defense.
Just as the three RPG shooters squatted down and had not yet stabilized the rocket launchers on their shoulders, three bullets hit the three shooters in the middle of the eyebrows indiscriminately. The three shooters fell on their backs and lost their lives.
This time, the commander saw everything and was shocked. The opponent was protected by armored vehicles and long-range snipers. This battle was impossible to fight. If the stalemate continued, his side would definitely suffer heavy losses, so he With the intention of retreat. Originally, this commander wanted to set up mines on the road inside Shuangchengzi, blow up the armored vehicles, and then plunder the trucks, but things changed. The other party did not take the route of Shuangchengzi, but went around the city. This caused them There was no place for these cavalry to hide. They couldn't just wait on the plain, waiting for the truck to come. That way everyone could tell there was an ambush, so they could only take the initiative to attack. Moreover, we learned from the report of the spies sent out that there was indeed a secret warehouse in the valley. Although we didn’t know what was inside, the six trucks were fully loaded and the speed of the trucks slowed down significantly.
After hearing this report, the horse bandit decided to risk plundering. Judging from recent robbery experience, attacking such a moving target is absolutely easy, and he has never failed. Unexpectedly, today he was in trouble. As time went by, half an hour passed in a hurry, but the gunshots from the other side still did not weaken. It seemed that this was a tough nut to crack. So the leader of the horse bandits ordered to retreat. The entire horse bandits lost their initial offensive momentum and turned around and ran towards the way they came.
Of course, Li Yuanhong would not let these bandits go, so he whistled in the sky, and then ordered four armored vehicles to pursue the enemy with him, and the other two armored vehicles escorted the truck back to Russia Island.
The retreating horse bandits galloped away, but these horse bandits did not notice that their mounts did not return the same way, but headed towards the big lake north of the Twin Cities in a panic. When the horse team galloped for more than half an hour, the horse bandits realized that something was wrong, so they tried to control the horses and return to the right path. However, the horses not only refused to obey the orders, but instead galloped forward even faster. After running for forty minutes, these bandits The horses slowed down only after entering a meadow.
In fact, the horse bandits did not notice that above their heads, there were ten black spots following them in a semicircle, and the direction in which these war horses were galloping was exactly at the gap in this semicircle. As long as these horses deviated from this semicircular gap, In the direction of the circular gap, there will inevitably be a gryphon on one side lowering its height, forcing the war horse to return to its original direction and run even harder. This natural fear has become the biggest weakness of these cavalry, and the horses are out of control!
When the war horse slowed down, this time the bandit leader paid attention to the surrounding environment. This sight scared the leader to death. This is a swamp, a naturally hostile terrain for war horses. Here, the war horses will lose their due speed. Even the cavalry must be extremely cautious when dismounting their horses and moving forward. If they are not careful, they may fall into the quagmire. Normally, They regard this place as a restricted area and dare not step even half a step. Today is a good day. Not only did we step in, but we also went deep into the heart of the swamp. Fortunately, no one has strayed into the quagmire yet. So the bandit leader ordered the horse to turn around and return to the way it came.
At this moment, the sound of machine motors came from the distance, and four armored vehicles blocked the exit of the swamp. The bandit leader was shocked. Fighting in the swamp, he was doomed. The speed advantage of the war horses here would be gone, and there was also He may be buried in the mire at any time. So the horse bandits had to order the team to move forward and prepare to cross the swamp.
Unexpectedly, before these bandits had gone fifty meters forward, the heads of the ten horses in front sank forward at the same time, and half of their bodies sank into the quagmire. Apparently there was a large piece of mud in front of them, blocking the way. Fortunately, we were not moving too fast, otherwise if we had gone a little faster, all four hooves of the horses would have been stuck in the mud at the same time, and they would have been hopeless.
When the leader of the horse bandits was about to bring up a few horses, his team suddenly exploded again. The horses once again ran around disobediently. Just as they stopped the advancing team, many horses were crowding each other and were about to approach the quagmire. More than a dozen war horses squeezed directly into the quagmire, while some of the war horses were stuck in the quagmire next to them and could not move. Some of the war horses even turned around and rushed towards the armored vehicle, so as not to worry about the flying bullets from the armored vehicle.
Of course, the flying bullets are aimed at the riders on the war horses, and they do not do much harm to these war horses. Some shrewd riders know that they cannot control the war horses, so they can only lie down on the horse's back and let the war horses gallop, while also Can dodge bullets. Under normal circumstances, they would be in no danger, because Li Yuanhong ordered not to shoot the war horses. Li Yuanhong regarded these war horses as his own personal belongings, and any damage to them would make him feel distressed. But Li Yuanhong will not be merciful to these horse bandits. If he encounters anyone who dares to lie on the horse and pretend to be dead, Li Yuanhong will personally take action and kill them directly. With the help of the Eye of Truth, this kind of shooting is almost effortless. , and soon the dozen horse bandits who rushed towards the armored vehicle were all named one by one.
At this time, the commotion in the center of the swamp also stopped. There was a commotion just now, and nearly twenty horses were stuck in the quagmire. The armored vehicles behind them kept approaching. The bandit leader could only order to abandon the horses and let the cavalry walk and follow the team around the front. Quagmire.
However, things never went so smoothly. When they detoured to a road with quagmire on both sides, the horses suddenly experienced space and time again. In an instant, nearly a hundred horses fell into the quagmire on both sides, including the horse bandit leader himself. The mount also fell into it.
There was no other way, so the horse bandits had no choice but to abandon these horses again and continue moving forward. However, the war horse is like an alarm bell. Once it encounters a quagmire, it will lose control. When the horse bandits finally crossed the swamp, there were less than ten horses following them, and the other horse bandits had become infantry.
The leader of the horse bandits rode on his subordinates' war horses and looked at the mud-covered soldiers following him. He felt like he wanted to cry without tears. When had he ever suffered such a big loss? It was a good day and he was inexplicably cheated. The cavalry of 500 people has now become the infantry of more than 400 people. If someone drives a chariot to attack him at this time, he will definitely be dead.
Thinking of this, the bandit leader burst into laughter. A personal guard next to him quickly asked: "Chief, what's wrong with you? Why are you laughing suddenly?"
"I laughed at God for taking good care of me. He left me nearly ten horses and the lives of these warriors. If someone sets an ambush at this exit, our entire army will be destroyed. Do you think I should laugh?"
Unexpectedly, as soon as the leader finished speaking, the roar of a motor was heard not far from the exit, and the figures of four armored vehicles appeared on the horizon.
