Chapter 22: The Jedi Strikes Back

"Chase, chase, these deserters are not far away. They can't run! The company commander shouted excitedly. The irrepressible pleasure made him feel comfortable, and his steps were a little brisk.

Along the way, there were trampled and crooked grass and broken branches. A shrub that was crooked. It shows that these deserters are exhausted and panicked.

The scout's unique experience told the company commander that these deserters were all strong crossbows, and victory was not far ahead.

Think about being able to catch these deserters lightly and go back. The head of the regiment had a disappreciative, but happy expression. Thinking about it made the company commander excited.

There are more and more trees, and the sky is getting darker. He couldn't see anything around him at all, and the company commander was almost instinctively pursuing.

But fortunately, these routs are estimated to have fled too hard and are tired to death. There are a lot of traces on the road, even if you close your eyes, you can find them just by touching them.

The company commander was getting more and more excited, directing the team to move forward quickly.

The scouts have lost their vigilance. In their hearts, the deserters in front of them are already weak-footed shrimps. As long as they kick a little harder, they will roll all over the ground like mouthless gourds.

The road became narrower and narrower, and before they knew it, they were gradually entering a narrow mountain road.

There were no trees on all sides, only bare mountain walls surrounding the scouts. But the moonlight above them brightened a lot, illuminating the path before their feet. so that they will no longer be disoriented.

"Company commander, why is this road so long, will we go wrong?" A scout ran up to the company commander and asked hesitantly.

"No, don't you see the footprints in the ground so deep? Obviously, they didn't have the strength, and they wore such heavy equipment, and walked out slowly. The company commander said confidently.

The scout looked down, but it was exactly what the company commander had said. The footprints on the ground were chaotic and uninterrupted, slowly stretching forward. Although there are not as many traces as before, it is enough to trace these footprints.

But the further you go, the narrower the gap becomes. Slowly, only two people can run side by side. If there is one more person, it will be a bit crowded.

The team slowed down, and the company commander was no longer in such a hurry. Feeling the fresher and fresher footprints, he was relieved.

After running a short distance, the company commander could already clearly see the end of the gap. This crack is actually a moat formed by two mountains leaning against each other, although it is rare to see, it is not unusual.

Looking at the light at the end of the gap, the soldiers cheered, stepped up, and rushed forward.

Bai Yu was lying quietly at the exit of the crack, holding a gun in his hand, covering his body with grass found from the surrounding area. The comrades-in-arms around him, like him, were staring nervously at the exit at the moment, inexplicably irritated by the upcoming battle.

They had been waiting for a long time, and only now did they see the arrogant pursuers. They hummed triumphantly and swaggered towards them.

Bai Yu was very glad that he could encounter such a gap in his running. It's a godsend for ambushes. Bai Yu couldn't help shouting: "This fucking shit luck is too strong!" ”

The scouts were still rushing forward, unaware of the danger lurking at the exit.

Bai Yu and them were like ancient killers, quietly crouching on the ground, ready to deliver a fatal blow to them.

Seeing the pursuers getting closer and closer, Bai Yu was wet with cold sweat.

The body involuntarily shook because of the tension. Although he is a scout himself, he has used ambushes as a training subject countless times during training. But when he really arrived on the battlefield, at the last moment of a life-and-death duel, he was a little nervous.

After all, this is related to the team's qiē, and this responsibility is too heavy. He was already a little out of breath.

However, Bai Yu, who could already see the smiling faces of the pursuers, let go of his wavering heart. Meng shouted loudly: "Hit." ”

It's like a flood that has burst through a floodgate. The muzzles of the remaining six men poured out water-like gunfire like splashing water, and angrily shot at the pursuers.

The pursuers, who were still jubilant a moment ago, were instantly stunned by the sudden ambush. I didn't know how to react. You can only admire the white rain, their machine guns are constantly spitting tongues of fire, which is very beautiful in the dark night.

The two rows of pursuers in front were covered in white smoke, and Bai Yu jumped out of the camouflage position and tore off the camouflage on his body. Roaring in anger, he picked up his gun and charged towards his pursuers.

Due to poor visibility, the people at the back of the line could only hear the gunshots, and the rest could not be seen.

At this time, the pursuers were crowded together, neither advancing nor retreating. It's a mess of porridge.

Bai Yu led his six people into a no-man's land, and the small gap left by the chasing team squeezed backwards. The scouts didn't react at all, only to feel that suddenly several figures rushed to their side, and then quickly squeezed behind them.

Even if they reacted, they were killed. With a little respect for the rules of the game, they still gave up the idea of picking up guns and resisting.

Bai Yu and the others were like vicious wolves that broke into the flock, and they shot when they saw people.

Everywhere you pass, there is always a large cloud of white smoke rising suddenly.

The reconnaissance company commander was a fool, and looking at the white smoke that kept rising, he also knew that he had been raided.

Shocked by the audacity of these soldiers, he decisively raised his gun and prepared to organize the troops to counterattack.

But it was too late, and before he could shout. A shot slammed into his chest.

"Don't move, Comrade Captain, you've been captured." He Yi said with a relaxed and happy face. has been chased for so long, and now I can finally raise my eyebrows.

"Don't fart." The company commander shouted irritably. Raise the gun and do a counterattack.

"Bang", a crisp gunshot, the company commander's face was incredible. He was directly hit by this close-range shot and sat on the ground, stroking his aching chest and looking at He Yi in front of him in surprise.

"I said you weren't allowed to move, you still moved, I'm sorry, I can only shoot." He Yi had an innocent expression on his face, and his aggrieved mouth hung down to his chin, as if it was none of his business.

Although empty cartridges are not lethal, they are still very powerful when fired at close range. At this moment, the company commander only felt a faint pain in his chest, although he had a lot of equipment, but the power of this shot was still very great, and he was afraid that it would hurt somewhere.

The company commander spat hard, raised his thumb helplessly, and said bluntly: "Boy, you are ruthless enough." ”

He Yi put away the gun and said with a wicked smile: "Each other, you chase us like a lost dog, you are even more ruthless."

The unlucky looking company commander got up with the support of his soldiers. looked at the team that had been completely wiped out, and sighed in pain. Thinking about the year when I went back to the head of the regiment, which was not much whiter than the bottom of the pot, I only shivered.

"It seems that this time the next company is a soldier." The company commander shook his head in remorse. He doesn't blame anyone.

The culprit who caused the total annihilation of his team was himself. If it was wartime, if so many living beings were killed because of their arrogance, then he would have ended up being shot.

It is to take 10,000 steps back and say, no one blames him. But his self-blame will haunt him for the rest of his life. The appearance of those dead brothers will stay with him for the rest of his life.

"You're good, good enough." The company commander gave a thumbs up again and said to Bai Yu, who came to salute him. After saying that, he turned around and retreated back the same way with the group of soldiers who had been killed.

In Bai Yu's eyes, the company commander walked so desolate and helpless. He wondered if if he hadn't been so lucky this time, would his result be the same as him.

Bai Yu shook his head, dispelling this superfluous thought in his mind. Now that his brain cells are no longer enough, he can no longer spend extra energy thinking about such nonsense from self-pity. He had more important things to do.

"Let's go, brothers, the pursuers are solved, and we don't know what the future holds." Without any expression, Bai Yu said indifferently.

Turning around, Bai Yu took the lead in the long dark night ahead. The soldiers retracted that bit of pride, that bit of happiness, held their guns, and silently followed behind him.

"I said Bai Yu, where should we go?" He Yi stepped forward and asked.

"If you follow this path, where else can you go?" Bai Yu said.

"Doesn't that mean we might be on the wrong track? Shouldn't you revise the direction? He Yi asked puzzled.

"That's what it was, but the fact that these pursuers can show up shows that we're not wrong." Bai Yu said with a smile.

"What do you mean?" He Yi was even more puzzled.

Bai Yu stopped and patiently explained to everyone: "These pursuers can wait for us at the edge of the valley, which means that this is the way we must go." They are not gods, how can they calculate that we have deviated from the direction and are still waiting here. That means we've been on the wrong track. "Damn, that cliff is really for us, aren't these people going to kill us?" Wang Chao shouted angrily.

"Okay, okay, don't complain, no matter how dangerous it is, aren't we here too. Believe in yourself, we can come, compared to other people. Let's go, don't be overtaken, we've slept for so long, and we don't know how many things we've missed. Hearing Bai Yu say this, the soldiers quickly lowered their heads and ran quickly. Time, time, what they lack most now is time.

Fortunately, after passing the cracks, the road has been improved a lot. It's no longer potholes, it's a lot flatter.

The night was driven away by the rising sun, and the blood-red morning glow shook the spirits of the soldiers. I can see such a beautiful morning again. The soldiers were in a good mood, and they forgot the twists and turns of last night in an instant.

They have been running slowly, at a speed of 6 kilometers per hour, only occasionally stopping for a break, and almost all the rest of the time.

Signs of human activity began to appear in the surroundings. Further on, you can already see small villages and winding asphalt roads.

I don't know if it's because the pursuers are tired of chasing, or because of the increasing number of people here. Along the way, they never met any more resistance. This made it a lot easier for them, at least they could go all out and concentrate on their two legs.

By the end of the afternoon, the soldiers, who were already tired and dying, finally stopped. It's not that they don't want to run, it's that they can't.

Ahead is an open mountain pass, where the only access is located.

However, there was a checkpoint stationed at the pass, and a whole company was stationed. Their access has been blocked again.
