Chapter 560: Cavalry Pursuit
"Captain, there are gunshots over there, it's the direction of Xujia Village!"
The Japanese cavalry company was galloping forward, like a dark cloud sweeping forward, dozens of war horses roared past, the sound of horses' hooves was like a tsunami, and the earth could be felt trembling in the distance.
"Everyone has heard it, the most vicious enemy of my Great Japanese Empire, the mad murderous devil Lu Yuan, is over there!"
The cavalry captain roared: "This person killed the Imperial King Hiko, there are countless generals and lieutenant generals, and he is even inhumane to poison thousands of my recruits in the cabin of the warship, if these demon kings are not eliminated for a day, it will be a disgrace to my Japanese Empire, garrison, now is the time for us to be loyal to the emperor, for the lieutenant generals, commanders of them, and for our compatriots to avenge the hatred, rush me......"
"Long live the Emperor!"
"For the sake of the empire, for the glory of the cavalry, kill ......"
Many cavalrymen screamed like chicken blood, and rushed like a whirlwind in the direction of the gunfire!
In the field, Lu Yuan looked at the horizon.
Xiaohua Daddy and Xiaohua also looked at Lu Yuan's gaze, and Xiaohua's face turned pale in an instant, and he said in a trembling voice: "Yes, it's the Japanese cavalry of Lingqiu......"
Although the Xu family's horse team is terrifying, it is absolutely nothing compared to the well-trained Japanese cavalry company, these cavalry, but the troops that have withstood the test of war with Tsarist Russia, how can they be compared with ordinary private forces?
"Hurry up and get on the horse, let's retreat!"
Lu Yuan shouted, hitting all the bullets and supplies on Li Lin's corpse, and said hurriedly: "If we are caught up by these Japanese cavalry on the flat ground, we will die, as long as we rush into the mountains ahead, we will be safe......"
Last time, even the dozens of special attack teams led by Yamazaki were all killed by him one by one, not to mention this kind of cavalry that is good at flat ground combat and can't exert combat power in the mountains at all.
As long as he can rush into the mountains before being caught up by the cavalry, Lu Yuan believes that the small hill ahead will be the grave of these Japanese soldiers!
Five or six miles away, is a lonely hill under a height of several hundred meters, the mountain is steep and difficult to walk, easy to defend and difficult to attack, the only pity is that there is no vegetation on the mountain at all, it is difficult to hide the tracks.
Lu Yuan turned over and was about to beat the horse away, but found that the little flower father was helpless, frowned and shouted: "Hurry up and get on the horse, didn't you hear me?" ”
"I, I can't ride a horse...... "Little Flower Daddy cried.
"Damn it!"
Lu Yuan scolded angrily when he heard this, he completely forgot that riding a horse was unimaginable for an honest farmer.
In the distance, the Japanese cavalry was rushing forward, and the sound of horses' hooves and roars was getting closer and closer, approaching at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"Benefactor, take Xiaohua away, leave me alone!"
Xiaohua's father screamed, wanting to pick up Xiaohua and hand it to Lu Yuan, even he knew that if three people rode a horse, it would greatly slow down the horse's running speed.
"No, I want to be with you...... daddy" Xiaohua was screaming and crying, hugging her father's neck and not letting go.
"Come up!"
Lu Yuan roared and dragged Xiaohua's father and daughter onto the horse, for him, now he can only fight.
He knew that this was death, but he knew even more that it was cruel to separate the father and daughter alive, it was like completely cutting off a part of a human being from life, and from then on yin and yang would be separated, and there would never be a day to see each other again.
Now, he can only do his best and obey the fate of heaven!
"Drive!"
With a wild roar from the distance, the fierce horse neighed and rushed forward, and the weight of the three of them combined with the weight of the fierce horse itself left deep hoof prints in the large wheat field.
On the vast plain, a horse and three people charged ahead, and behind were the screaming Japanese cavalry, with the sound of hooves rumbling and the wind whistling, in a fierce pursuit.
"They're just ahead!"
As the distance between the two sides quickly narrowed, some cavalry began to scream, but the distance between the two sides was less than the range of the cavalry gun, while observing the speed of the horse in front of them, as well as the three people on horseback, many people couldn't help but sneer, if at the current speed, Lu Yuan and the others in front of them would not be able to escape into the mountains!
"I thought this guy was amazing, but it turned out to be just a woman's kind guy!"
The cavalry company commander sneered, waved the cavalry saber fiercely, and suddenly the entire cavalry company was divided into three, more than a dozen horses followed in the middle of the pursuit, and the remaining two parts began to intersperse from both sides, wanting to form an encirclement, and before catching up, they trapped Lu Yuan to death!
The Japanese cavalrymen on horseback also began to raise their riding guns, silently estimating the distance in their hearts, and ready to shoot at any time!
A thousand meters!
800 meters......
The distance between the two sides is getting closer and closer, and the hill in front of them still looks out of reach, and the war horse under him is still foaming at the mouth, and the speed is decreasing rapidly, carrying three people to run so far, obviously making the war horse under the crotch a little overconsumed.
"Damn it!"
Lu Yuan scolded angrily in his heart, and kicked the horse's belly fiercely to speed up, but to no avail, he could only watch the Japanese cavalry in the rear approaching closer and closer, and gradually reached the range of the cavalry!
Once he is in range, he will fall into a situation of being beaten passively, and there will be no chance to fight back!
What he was carrying now was the rifle he had captured from the cavalry team led by Lin Lin, and he was using the best rifle he could find, a half-old Zhongzheng rifle, which had a range of about three hundred meters, and even if it was a theoretical range, it was only six or seven hundred meters.
But this is only a theoretical range, and after taking into account the effect of sight, wind, it can only be relied on by a part of luck and the experience of the gunner.
Although Lu Yuan's marksmanship is good, he is now on the back of a galloping horse, and it is impossible for him to show his marksmanship at a super level.
And now these Japanese troops are equipped with cavalry guns, which are 44 type cavalry guns, which are considered to be an improved version of the 38 rifle, and the barrel has been shortened to make it more suitable for the use of cavalry, and because the barrel has been shortened, the initial speed of the bullet has been reduced a lot because of the decline in the thrust of the gun, but the firing range is farther than the 38 rifle, and the effective distance has reached 500 meters, which is about 200 meters more than the Zhongzheng gun used in Lu Yuan!
To shoot each other with the cavalry behind you while the fast horses are galloping, and you are simply looking for death!
Not to mention, behind the left and right, but a whole company of Japanese cavalry, they are well-trained and numerous, dozens of cavalry guns fire together, aiming at half and half, and the target of the war horses is big enough, it is difficult not to be shot!
What now?
Lu Yuan once again sadly found that he was in a desperate situation again!
