In the middle of the woods, two teams of men and horses converged, and there were six of them, all of whom wore red scarves around their necks. It is said that it was used as a mask when marching in the desert, and although there are no real cavalry anymore, this habit remains. They also call themselves the Red-Necked Knights.

Link saw how many guns they carried, all automatic rifles, and asked for it. Tiger and he both took the spear, and Tiger gave Carrick's pistol to use. He wasn't given a spear because he was out of breath when he walked with his bare hands.

Link puts Tiger in command of the entire team.

Tiger didn't shirk either. He is a retired captain, and he is absolutely competent in commanding such a small team.

"We now have three dogs. It was divided into three squads. Me, the boss, and Mir's squad, the six of you split into two squads. Is there a walkie-talkie?"

"Yes. ”

A new cowboy pulls out a bag containing several walkie-talkies.

There were only five tigers, not enough for one per person, so he had to say, "One for each squad." In the middle of our walk, the two of you squads are two hundred yards apart, side by side on the left and right, each twenty to thirty yards apart, and look after each other. The squads are connected by walkie-talkie. In case of emergencies, open warnings. He looked at the others and said. "Start acting without a problem. Remember, the other side has anti-reconnaissance capabilities. You have to be careful. ”

The six team members split into two groups on their own, and then one group retreated to the left and the group returned to the same way.

Tiger looked at the dog left behind and said to Mir, "Mir, can you command this dog?"

"Jimmy is a good dog. It is willing to do the bidding of most of the cowboys on the farm. However, it cannot understand all our commands like a professionally trained dog. ”

Tiger nodded and said, "Just let it go ahead." "He knew it was a shepherd dog and couldn't ask for too much. I just hope that it can smell an abnormal smell and help them detect the existence of a cattle thief in advance.

Mill nodded, crouched down and interacted with the dog for a while, then said to the dog, "Jimmy, good dog, go." He stretched out his hand and pointed in the direction where Tiger had found the trace.

The dog seemed to understand his intentions, and sprang forward. However, it didn't take long for it to sniff on the ground.

Mir said with surprise: "It seems that it has found something." ”

Tiger nodded and said, "Let's go too." Spread out a little and try to move forward in the shade of the trees. He paused and said to Link. "Boss, you try to walk behind me as much as possible. "He's a bodyguard, and his job is to keep Link safe.

Link nodded and said, "I understand." ”

Jimmy the shepherd dog stops and goes ahead, not sniffing on the side of the road.

Tiger saw that the distance from which it paused was getting shorter and shorter, and carefully reminded the others, "Be careful! ”

Suddenly, Jimmy barked and lunged forward. Tiger raised his hand and said, "Attention." Link pricked up his ears for anything but the whistling of the mountain wind blowing through the leaves. ”

And Jimmy seems to have stopped in one place, barking there. The other two dogs also barked wildly and ran towards the same place.

Tiger listened for a moment and said, "Maybe it found something, but no one." ”

They walked all the way to the bark. When Waite saw the scene in front of him, he frowned and said, "It seems that Rice is going to despair." ”

On a few nearby trees hung countless strips of meat that had already been air-dried. Judging by the cow hair found in the barbed wire, it is needless to think that Rice's two calves have been turned into beef jerky.

Tiger was watching. After a while, all the cowboys gathered around. They are also searching around.

"They seem to have camped here. "Mill found something. "There are steel drill holes for tents here. ”

Tiger also found something, he found cowhides and cow entrails that had been buried in the ground. White checked it with the rancid smell and said, "That's right, it's two calves." It should have been Stolen by Rice. ”

Link dialed Bluff and asked, "Bluff, did you spot anything in the air?"

"Nope. ”

"Got it, you guys continue to search in the air. ”

He hung up and said to Waite, "They might still be in this forest." ”

Tiger looked around for signs of the two bull thieves leaving. It's just that the cattle thief may have lived for a few days, and their presence has made those traces a little messy. He had to expand his search.

It was only after a few minutes that he noticed something and said, "Boss, over here, the others, bring the dog." ”

When everyone was gathered, Tiger said, "They're leaving from here." Maybe they want to leave the farm, but there are planes in the sky and I think they're playing hide and seek with us. Perhaps, they are waiting for dark. ”

"We're going to catch them. Waite said. "Link, they're acting weirdly. It's not like an ordinary cattle thief!"

Seeing the beef jerky, Link knew that the purpose of the two cattle thieves was not to steal cattle and sell them for money. Instead, they want to hide in this place. They were indeed as dangerous as Tiger had said, much more than he had previously thought.

He didn't understand why the other party had chosen his farm. But if he can't be sure that the other party has left, he can't feel at ease.

The safety of those wells was enough for him to worry about. The oil wells were sabotaged, and the pollution caused by it would have his responsibility. The compensation and settlement of the subsequent troubles may even bankrupt him. Of course, oil companies will also have a responsibility to ensure the safety of oil wells. But the income is his, and the one who loses the most is obviously him.

He said to Tiger, "Then find them before dark." "After dark, will the bull thief leave or hide somewhere else? For example, another forest. No one can say. If he left him on the farm, he didn't know what would happen.

They move on, they move on and search. Link didn't go far before he noticed that Carrick hadn't followed. He looked back, only to find that he was still watching under the trees with beef jerky. He called each other.

Carrick waved at him and said, "You go first." I'll see if I find anything here. ”

"What's on those trees besides beef jerky?"

Carrick smiled and waved at him and said, "I'll follow right away." You go first. ”

Link saw that Tiger was waiting for him, and thought that the bull thieves had also left, and that it should be safe, so he said, "Take care of your own safety." Something was fired. ”

"I know. ”

Link had no choice but to keep moving forward with the others.

They had walked about 100 meters when suddenly there was a muzzle fire in a tree and a bush in front of them, and the sound of gunfire was heard immediately.

"Get down!" Tiger didn't even say military jargon, just in spoken words.

But he didn't need to speak, the others had already subconsciously fallen down.

And gunshots were also heard from the other two directions, and the location of the sound should be that the two squads were shooting.

Lin lay on the ground, trying to roll on one side a few times, leaning against a tree. He was also worried that Carrick would be in danger, but his vision was blocked by the trees and he couldn't see the situation over there.

Hundreds of yards away, though, he felt that Carrick would be hiding when he heard the gunshots. I don't worry about him anymore.

Tiger had already given an order to the other two squads over the walkie-talkie: "Pay attention to concealment, cover each other to the enemy." ”

Tiger and the others lay on the ground and fought back at the spot where the bullet had just been fired. There was no movement where the shot had been fired.

Link thought for a moment, hung the gun on his back, and climbed the tree like a monkey. At the heights, he saw two men lying on their stomachs trying to escape down the hill. It was more than two hundred yards away from them.

He aimed his gun at a short shot of the "Da Da Da". One of them fell to the ground. But soon he climbed and rolled to one side behind the tree, and the other was already hidden.

The two men fired at him. He hurriedly hid on a branch with his back to them.

Link saw the point of impact of the other two bullets he fired. He thought he had hit the man's left leg. He said to Tiger below, "One of them should be injured." It's in the direction of your two o'clock, about two hundred yards away. They all have automatic rifles. ”

Tiger listened, and first hunched over and then quickly advanced with the block of the tree. Then hide behind a tree and give the order to cooperate with the two squads

Link fought back from time to time in the trees.

At the same time, keep an eye out for the other person moving from time to time. However, it seems that the other side is also consciously fighting and retreating. They were swaying through the woods, and Link missed several shots.

He simply slid down the tree, overtook Tiger and chased after them.

Tiger saw him rushing in front and didn't care about any tactical moves, so he hurriedly followed.

Link's speed is no different in the mountains and peacefully. He had just seen that one of the two cattle thieves had a distinctly different color of his pants on his left thigh. That must have been the one he had just hit.

The two men couldn't run fast, and the other two militia squads had already outflanked them. One of them has already engaged the other in a head-to-head firefight.

Link listened to the location of the gunshots, picked a tree again, and climbed up. He was condescending in the tree, and he could see the position of the two men clearly. They have been caught between two militia squads. But they have a lot of firepower. The two militia squads did not dare to get too close, and both leaned against the trees and exchanged fire with each other. Perhaps it was because they wanted to wait for the other side to flee before they crossed cover again and chased after them. That's also a good strategy, as long as the two of them must get out of the forest, the helicopter in the sky will make them have nothing to hide.

He looked at the tree for a while, and instead of shooting immediately, he gestured to Tiger, who was shooting covertly under the tree, and asked him to press the two men forward: "Force them to retreat." ”

Tiger saw him aiming at the tree and understood his intentions. Link's marksmanship he had also seen. At least no worse than the average professional soldier.

He pushed forward quickly, constantly putting more pressure on the opponent with his firepower.

The two cattle thieves were attacked on three sides, and they couldn't stand it anymore and had to retreat. Link waited for this opportunity.

He aimed at the uninjured man, and when he came out of the tree, he pulled the trigger, and a bullet was fired, and the man staggered forward a few steps, and then fell to the ground and did not get up. Seeing this, the wounded thigh also fired a shuttle of bullets in his direction.

Two bullets hit the trunk of a tree above him. He now fully believed what Tiger said, and the two men were professionally trained in military affairs. If it weren't for that, the man wouldn't have been able to tell by the sound of a gunshot that he was hiding in this tree.
