Chapter 56: Hunted and killed

After killing Yamato Kazubo, Li Ling did not dare to delay, quickly found the horses on the side of the road, and drove away. In the dark, panic does not choose the road. Gritting his teeth and closing his eyes, he fled to his fate. It's just that there are too many sentry posts ahead, and when there is no way to avoid it, he shows his identity as a lieutenant colonel, and he can pass safely.

Before dawn, people were sleepy and tired, and Li Ling saw a small farm yard, so he dismounted and came to knock on the door. The door was opened by a middle-aged man in his forties, who was slightly slim and skinny. opened the door, was taken aback when he saw Li Ling's clothes, and hurriedly said, "I didn't know that the military master was here, please forgive me." ”

Waving his hand, Li Ling said: "I passed by here and came to your house to ask for some food, even if some come up, I won't eat and drink in vain." ”

The military camp was not far away, and the middle-aged man was puzzled, but he didn't dare to ask, so he said with a wry smile: "Master Jun doesn't know, our family has been out of food for several days, and now we are just picking up some tree bark to eat." Alas! Last year's harvest was not good, and now there is a shortage of soldiers, where can there be anything to eat. ”

Li Ling sighed slightly, handed him a few oceans, and said, "I have some money, you see where you can get some grain nearby, and bring some grain and grass for horses by the way." The rest is yours. ”

The middle-aged man was overjoyed when he heard this, he had never seen such a reasonable and generous soldier, and said with a smile: "Thank you for the reward, there is a stock in the nearby Liu family, so I will ask the insider to buy some." Please go to the house to rest first. ”

As he entered, there was a musty smell in the room. All that was left was a wooden bed and a few tables and chairs. The middle-aged man's wife also came out to check at this time and was ordered to buy food. There was also a boy of thirteen or fourteen years old in their family, hungry with yellow face and thin muscles, but his eyes were shining, and he stared curiously at the wooden shell of the shell gun on Li Ling's waist.

Li Ling smiled slightly, handed him the Browning that had no bullets, and said, "Are you curious about the gun, I'll give this one to you." ”

The child was overjoyed, took the gun and played with it carefully, and the look of devotion reminded Li Ling of the first time he encountered the gun, and it was the same.

After a while, the smoke curled up, and a bowl of egg noodles was ready and placed in front of you. Li Ling didn't eat all night last night, and he fought with Yamato Kazubo for a long time, riding a horse for hundreds of miles, and he was already hungry. Gobble it up before I feel more comfortable. After eating, I saw the boy on the side looking at him pitifully, his heart softened, and he said to the middle-aged man: "A few oceans are enough for your family of three to eat the harvest, why don't you get something for your child to eat?" ”

The middle-aged man smiled bitterly and said, "The military master doesn't know, there have been wars recently, and the government's taxes have been received for seven years, so if you want to survive, you still have to pay the dozen taxes first." When the military master has eaten, we will pick up some leftovers to satisfy our hunger. ”

Although Li Ling sometimes suffered some grievances in Lijiazhuang, he also had no worries about food and clothing, and it was difficult to understand the hardships of the poor family. Those warlords oppress the good, do you just let it go and be exploited by others? ”

The middle-aged man's eyes were red, and he said helplessly: "What can we do?" Two years ago, the big bandit Liu Heiqi passed by here, and many people joined the gang and became bandits. Although those people licked the blood from the knife, they also had a chance to live. The people who remain today are basically waiting for death. Many starved to death in the wilderness. ”

The people's ** lords have been fighting for years, how many good men have died on the battlefield, and how many families have died. It's all the ruling class for a right. Li Ling looked up to the sky and sighed, silently leading the horse out of the door.

After walking more than a mile, Li Ling suddenly heard several gunshots from behind, and then the ground shook slightly with the sound of horses' hooves. Hundreds of horses came from the north at high speed and galloped south. From time to time, officers on horseback shouted and shouted insults on both sides of the procession.

Li Ling had a bad premonition in his heart, led his horse to hide behind a ruined wall, and when the cavalry walked away, he turned back and came to the small courtyard again. I found a family of three lying in a pool of blood. Gun headshots, no chance of survival. And the kid was still holding the Browning pistol that Li Ling gave him.

Those cavalrymen were obviously chasing themselves, but they didn't expect to affect the families of these innocent people. Li Ling was full of anger, gritted his teeth and roared: "To kill someone is to prepare to be killed." I avenge this family today. ”

He found a mat from inside the house and wrapped the three corpses. Then he pulled out his shell gun, and his scarlet eyes looked south, which was the direction in which the hundreds of cavalry had gone.

The area around the Dragon King Temple is two kilometers long, the weeds and shrubs are tall and lush, and the grass and trees around the small lake are deep. Li Ling hid in a big tree on the side of the road, and the weeping willows of the trees were directly on the river. He was waiting, waiting for the cavalry to come back.

Sure enough, those cavalry couldn't catch up with anyone, and nearly a hundred horsemen returned from the same way to search. Waiting for the cavalry to pass, Li Ling suddenly attacked in the back, and the twenty-round shell gun fired a burst of shots, and more than a dozen people were put down in an instant.

The cavalry is generally the elite division of the army, and after a period of panic, it slowly settles down and begins to counterattack in an orderly manner.

With a sneer, Li Ling jumped into Hu Bo. Diving underwater, silently testing the distance in his heart, and then suddenly burst out, and there was another burst of fire, and in an instant, five or six people were shot and fell to the ground.

Huang Quanfa, as the commander of the cavalry company of the army, was ordered to chase after a young man pretending to be a lieutenant colonel, but he didn't want to be killed by the young man with nearly 20 subordinates. He grinned with hatred, and there was an order from above to capture this person alive. Although the other party is alone, his marksmanship is extremely accurate, and he is not in love with war, just like guerrilla tactics, he will change places after a few shots, and it is difficult to catch them at all.

The cavalry target was already large, and the remaining personnel retreated one after another, dismounted and counterattacked. Li Ling approached the other party, took out the guns and bullets from those dead cavalry to replenish himself, and couldn't help but be overjoyed when he saw a few grenades hanging on each of them. Although I don't understand why the other party didn't bomb me, I can't care so much and throw a few over. There was a "boom" explosion, and many soldiers screamed casualties.

In the chaos, Li Ling jumped forward, stepped on a war horse, and galloped back.

Twenty or thirty dead and wounded, how could he let him escape, Huang Quanfa ordered an all-out pursuit. Just chased closely, the other side threw two grenades down, causing a lot of casualties. can only be tightly attached to the back, and no longer follow up, only hoping for reinforcements to volley in front.

Li Ling put a dagger on the horse's buttocks, and the horse was in pain and fled. Li Ling jumped off his horse and jumped into the bushes. Seeing that the pursuers were coming, a few more grenades were thrown as if they didn't want money. There was an instant chaos among the cavalry ranks, and more than a dozen people died. For the rest, Li Ling shot one by one, killed again and again, and shot to death. In an instant, a few more people were put down.

Although the cavalry was brave, they were terrified when they saw their companions fall to the ground and die. Huang Quanfa was born as a bandit, he was able to work hard immediately, and he had always been brave in battle, so he was appointed as the commander of the cavalry company. A cavalry company only had a total of about 100 people, so Li Ling was wiped out more than 30 in an instant. He also fought bloodily, and no longer cared about Shangfeng's order to capture him alive, urging his subordinates to attack fiercely.

The opponent's firepower suddenly increased, and Li Ling suddenly felt a great increase in pressure. No longer in love, after a burst of shooting, he grabbed a war horse and fled.

From north to south, there are many checkpoints. Li Ling galloped on horseback, and the soldiers who passed by the road also rushed forward desperately. Those who blocked the road and set up a card were originally the team of the Zhilu coalition army, and when they saw a person in the costume of a lieutenant colonel storming the checkpoint, they couldn't help but look at each other. When they saw that there were many cavalry in the rear struggling to pursue, they were even more frightened, and they were all speculating whether the rear troops had happened

Mutiny.

Li Ling pursued Yamato Kazuhiro yesterday, but today he tasted the taste of being pursued. galloped all the way, and could not shake off the cavalry in the rear. In a hurry, he had to ride his horse and rush forward. The Northern Expeditionary Army and the Zhilu Allied Army fought in southern Lunan, and if they could escape to the control of the Northern Expeditionary Army, the crisis would be resolved.

Taierzhuang is located at the junction of Sulu, located in the south of Zaozhuang, located in the north bank of the Grand Canal, 30 kilometers northeast of Xuzhou, on the railway branch line from Lincheng to Zhaodun, connecting Jinpu Road in the north, Longhai Line in the south, and Nansi Lake in the southwest, which is the gateway of Xuzhou, the southeast gate of Shandong. The strategic location is significant, and it has been a battleground for soldiers since ancient times.

Taierzhuang has the Zhilu coalition army general Chu Yupu led the fifth and sixth armies to wait for them. However, the Northern Expeditionary Army was Chiang Kai-shek's main force, and the First Army crossed Xuzhou and reached Taierzhuang. After the arrival of Liu Zhi, the commander of the First Army, and Jiang Dingwen, the deputy commander of the First Army, they organized a large-scale attack, but the opponent had strong troops and returned home. Now a state of confrontation has formed.

The troops of Chu Yupu of the Zhilu Coalition Army and the personnel of the First Army of the Northern Expedition were both preparing for battle, and this battle was very important and could determine the life and death of the two forces. The personnel of the two sides are calm on the surface, but the thunder is rolling inside and down, and there is a feeling that the mountain rain is coming. Some soldiers with poor psychological quality even have an urge to collapse.

The two troops were less than two miles away from each other, and in the middle was an empty plain, and even the expressions on the faces of the opposing soldiers could be seen at a glance. And in this low ravine, muddy land of less than two miles, at this time, a horse rushed out of the oblique thorn, and under the attention of the personnel of the two sides, he rode his horse and whipped and galloped in the direction of the Northern Expeditionary Army. And the wolf smoke was billowing behind, and dozens of cavalry were hurriedly chasing behind, and there was a situation where they would not die.

The blue sky and white sun flag stood high, Li Ling was overjoyed, and rushed to the front of the Northern Expeditionary Army, finally able to get rid of the pursuit of the cavalry behind. It's just that he hasn't been happy for too long, when he saw a man who looked like an officer of the Northern Expeditionary Army raised his gun and fired a shot into the sky, shouting: "Stop the horses, and then approach the position to kill." ”

Li Ling was stunned, after a day of fleeing, he finally saw the dawn of life, and the Northern Expeditionary Army did not know him and could not cross this ditch. At this time, there is no way forward, and there are pursuers behind. Li Ling's heart was cold and desperate
