Lin Yuan saw those horsemen from far and near, and instantly understood the mistake he had made: his command position was too far ahead, and he did not send a scout unit to reconnoiter in front of the convoy, he lacked the necessary preparation time in the face of sudden events, and it took a certain amount of time for the troops to change from a marching state to a combat state, and if he did not correct his mistakes in time, the troops might not be able to fight when the enemy came.

So Lin Yuan turned his head and asked Xiao Yingwu: "Old Xiao, do we have any scout troops?" ”

Xiao Yingwu said: "The mechanized infantry battalion has an armored reconnaissance company, what's wrong?" ”

Lin Yuan asked, "Then are they also equipped with tracked armored reconnaissance vehicles?" ”

Xiao Yingwu nodded, and Lin Yuan asked, "Aren't they equipped with this off-road vehicle we are riding?" ”

Xiao Yingwu said: "No. ”

Lin Yuan said: "Let the staff department vacate an off-road vehicle, and let the company commander of the armored reconnaissance company lead the team to reconnoiter within a range of ten kilometers ahead of us." ”

Xiao Yingwu nodded, and let the order be conveyed, at this time, those horsemen were only six hundred meters away from the vehicle that Lin Yuan was riding, Lin Yuan raised the binoculars and roughly counted, this crowd was only about a hundred people, all carrying sabers, and carrying bows and arrows on their backs, Lin Yuan knew that they must be the cavalry of the Mongolian tribe, and seeing that they had no guns, Lin Yuan was relieved.

Those cavalrymen took off the bow on their backs when they were about three hundred meters away from Lin, and Xiao Yingwu hurriedly said: "They took off the bow, they must be going to attack us!" We are not thinking about preemptive strikes. ”

Lin Yuan said: "There is no need for this, this is Inner Mongolia, and there are many people who support the Qing court. Lin Yuan said to the driver: "Let's speed up and go to the cavalry." ”

As soon as the driver stepped on the accelerator, the off-road vehicle drove towards the speeding cavalry, seeing that the cavalry was getting closer and closer, Lin Yuan waved at them, wanting to talk to their leader, but the moment he raised his hand, Lin Yuan saw a terrifying scene: those cavalrymen took out the bowstring from their pockets, and in a blink of an eye, they connected to the bow, and then pulled out the feather arrow from the quiver, put it on the string, pulled the bowstring and shot the arrow towards Lin Yuan.

Lin Yuanzhi said that the bows of the Mongolian cavalry were all compound bows, the bow body of this kind of bow was made of wooden materials, and the bowstring used animal tendons, which were extremely elastic, and the Mongolian cavalry also relied on this strong bow to sweep across Europe, Lin Yuanzhi said that if he didn't dodge these flying arrows, he would be shot into a sieve, so he instantly got into the car and shouted at the driver: "Turn quickly." ”

Lin Yuan knew very well in his heart that now the car was facing the flying arrows on the opposite side, the relative speed of the flying arrows and the car was extremely large, and the glass of the car was not bulletproof, and the body was very thin, and the flying arrows on the opposite side were very likely to penetrate the body of the car, in case the body of the car was shot through, the people inside would be finished.

So Lin Yuan ordered the driver to turn the body, hoping to reduce the relative speed, so as not to shoot through the body of the car with flying arrows, and the driver didn't have time to think about it, a dozen steering wheels twisted the body over, Lin Yuan roared: "Get down!" ”

There were only four people in the car, Lin Yuan, Xiao Yingwu, the driver and a staff officer, who all fell down when they heard this, only to hear the flying arrow smashing on the body of the car, making a "bang-bang" sound, Lin Yuan muttered silently in his heart: "Don't shoot through!" ”

Xiao Yingwu said: "Captain, let's shoot!" ”

Lin Yuan was moved when he heard the "shooting", stretched out his hand to tear off the walkie-talkie, and shouted to all the members of the convoy: "I am Lin Yuan, I found Mongolian cavalry in front, pay attention, don't shoot, repeat, don't shoot!" ”

Xiao Yingwu heard Lin Yuan's words and yelled at him, "What did you say? Don't shoot? The Mongolian cavalry is to eat by cavalry, and each Mongolian cavalry will bring more than 100 arrows when fighting, more than 100 people, more than 100 arrows per person, this is more than 10,000 arrows, all shot at our car, when will it be the head! ”

The feather arrows outside smashed on the body like raindrops, and the sound of "bang bang puff" was like a big drum, if people didn't shout at the top of their voices, they really couldn't hear it, so Lin Yuan also shouted: "No, we can't fight, now we are in Inner Mongolia, these people will be our hardcore allies, we will kill other people's people first when we go to other people's territory, it's strange that they don't support separatism!" ”

Xiao Yingwu roared: "Then let's let them shoot us like this?" ”

Lin Yuan said: "Don't worry, there will definitely be a way." At this moment, a loud roar came from the walkie-talkie: "Lin Shuai, a large number of Mongolian cavalry appeared on our right flank, the number is more than 500, what should we do?" ”

Lin Yuan was anxious: "I can't fight again, I can't go out to talk to them, the Mongolian cavalry will also cause damage to personnel and equipment if they shoot indiscriminately, what should I do?" Suddenly, Lin Yuan had a flash of inspiration in his mind, and thought, "We can't fight, we can run!" ”

"The speed of our convoy is now about 40 kilometers per hour, and the more fuel-efficient running method at this time can reach 50 kilometers per hour if it is faster, and how fast can the horses of the cavalry on the opposite side be? Mongolian horses are not very fast horses, the speed is only about 7,000 kilometers per hour, such a speed, we can completely get rid of them! ”

Lin Yuan made up his mind and immediately ordered: "All speed up, speed fifty kilometers!" Full speed ahead and get rid of them! Then he said to the driver, "Quick, let's go back to the front of the queue!" The driver kicked the accelerator again, and the SUV roared, and a puff of black smoke came out of the jet pipe, and it ran towards the front of the convoy.

The Mongolian cavalry followed Lin Yuan's car and fired arrows, but they soon couldn't catch up, and when the cars in the convoy accelerated, the Mongolian cavalry could only watch the "monsters" in front of them overtake them one by one and fly away, leaving only puffs of black smoke.

After about half an hour, Lin Yuan saw that the cavalry had been thrown away and disappeared, so he ordered the convoy to slow down, and ordered all units to report the damage, and soon all units sent a message: "No equipment was damaged in this attack!" There were no casualties! ”

Lin Yuan thought to himself: "It seems that the feather arrows of the Mongolian cavalry can't penetrate our vehicle body at all, since they can't even shoot through the vehicle body, let alone shoot through the main battle tank and infantry fighting vehicle!" However, this time we also learned a lesson, that is, there must be scouts in front of the troops to conduct reconnaissance. ”

So Lin Yuan divided two off-road vehicles for the reconnaissance troops to ride, let them set off in advance, and reconnoiter in front, and after about half an hour, the reconnaissance troops sent Lin Yuan back the news: The front is Yilin City, but the city gate is closed, no one walks on the city wall, and even the merchants near the city are closed, and none of them are open, as if the entire city is dead. ”

Lin Yuan wondered in his heart, and said to Xiao Yingwu: "This is a prosperous city before entering Outer Mongolia, and it used to be a place where business travelers gathered, why does it seem to be dead today?" ”

Xiao Yingwu said: "Could it be that there is a plague outbreak in the city, and the people inside are already dead?" ”

Lin Yuan said: "It's unlikely, there is no such powerful infectious disease in history that can kill all the people in a city overnight!" Let's go see for ourselves. ”
