When Ah Chong arrived at the camp, the gunfire had stopped and the fire in the camp had been extinguished. In the moonlight, all the carriages were gathered around the tent, forming a square bunker, and Timur was directing the people to take shelter behind.

Seeing Ah Chong coming back, Naya flew over and threw herself into Ah Chong's arms excitedly, hugging him tightly: "Brother Chong! You're back! I thought you ......"

Ah Chong saw that there seemed to be tears flashing in the corners of Naya's eyes, and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?" Seniors they ...... Are you all right? ”

He saw a few pools of red blood on the snow, and it looked like someone had been killed.

"Abba is fine, two men patrolling outside were shot, and several horses were also killed."

Naya took Ah Chong's hand and took him behind the bunker, where two corpses lay on the ground, and seeing Timur sitting there with Arislan in his arms unharmed, Ah Chong's heart was a little calmer.

"Do you know where the gun was fired?" Ah Chong asked.

Timur shook his head and said: "It was our own people who fired the shots, and we don't even know where they are......"

It turned out that after Naya returned to the camp, she ran to Timur to tell him about Jing Wumian's challenge, and the two were talking, when they suddenly heard a dog barking outside, and when Naya ran out to check, she saw that two sentries patrolling outside had fallen in a pool of blood.

Timur also walked out, and was stunned when he saw the corpse on the snow, and when the two were in a daze, they heard a soft sound in their ears, and one of the horses in the camp suddenly fell to the ground.

After all, Timur was more experienced, and at a glance he understood that there were snipers in ambush. At that moment, Naya was instructed to be careful and hidden, and shouted loudly to all the clansmen.

At this time, there was a whoosh, two more horses were hit and fell, as if the sniper's purpose was not to kill people, he was more interested in killing horses.

The dazed people did not know where the enemy was, so they raised their guns and fired indiscriminately in all directions.

Timur knew that he was in the open and the enemy was in the dark, and if such a group of people were to spin around like headless flies, the men and horses would be killed by snipers before dawn. He immediately ordered everyone to extinguish all the torches, and then piled the carriage in a circle, and ordered everyone to hide behind the bunker.

The sniper didn't seem to be in a hurry to attack, and after seeing everyone set up a defensive position, he suddenly died down.

Su Rile and Ke waited for a while to see that there was no movement, and when they couldn't bear it, they took a few people out on horseback to pursue them......

Looking at the blood stains all over the ground, Ah Chong frowned and asked, "How are the casualties?" ”

"Three people fell, and five horses, all of whom were shot to the head by bullets and killed with one shot." Timur said with a gloomy expression.

He finally realized the difference in strength between the enemy and the enemy. The tactics of the opponent are very clear, and the sniper's primary target is not people, but horses. When the horses were killed, they lost their ability to maneuver, and the remaining group of people could not run and could not run on the snowy field, and there was nowhere to hide, and all of them became living targets.

And they fought inexplicably for a long time, not even knowing where the other party was.

Ah Chong frowned and looked into the distance, the night was dark, and his vision was limited, and he could only see a series of scattered hoof prints on the snow scattered into the distance, which should have been left by Dai Qin who pursued them.

"I'll go out and see!"

Ah Chong was worried that they would encounter another ambush, so he took a horse and turned over and rode up, following the hoof prints left by Suri Le and Ke.

After running for a while, a few shadowy horses suddenly appeared in front of him—the silhouette should be Su Rile and Ke and Dai Qin.

Ah Chong sped up.

"It's me! Ah Chong! ”

Seeing that it was Ah Chong who came on horseback, Dai Qin and the others put down the guns they raised.

"Where did you just go?" Dai Qin muttered dissatisfiedly, apparently he didn't know that Jing Wumian had ever been to the camp. I thought Ah Chong was afraid of things and secretly hid.

"Did you find anything?" Ah Chong didn't have time to explain to Dai Qin, so he got off his horse and asked Su Rile and Ke.

Su Rile Hok was standing next to him and bowed his head in contemplation, raised his eyes and looked at Ah Chong, pointing to his feet and saying:

"There's a snow nest here, which should be where the sniper was lying just now. You see, there are traces of gunpowder here, which should have been left when the gun was fired. ”

Ah Chong looked at the camp in the distance, and silently calculated in his heart that the distance from here to the camp was at least 1,500 meters, and at such a distance, he could hit the head with a gun, which showed how accurate the opponent's marksmanship was.

"We didn't hear any gunshots, and it is possible that the enemy had put a silencer on the gun. There are no bullet casings left here, indicating that he took them away. The other party looks very professional. Su Rile and Ke said in a muffled voice.

"But we've searched back and forth here just now, and there are no other people's footprints except our horseshoe prints, could this person go to heaven and earth?" Dai Qin wondered.

"It's unlikely to go to the sky and the earth, could it be flying on the snow?"

Su Rile and Ke and Dai Qin communicated in Mongolian, and Ah Chong searched around vigilantly, and the snow was constantly falling in the sky, which made it very difficult for them to track.

Su Ilholke translated the conversation he had just had with Dai Qin to Ah Chong.

Ah Chong shook his head and said, "With heavy equipment like a sniper rifle, it is almost impossible to move around the snow in such a short period of time without leaving a trace - maybe he used a special sled." ”

Su Rile and Ke and Dai Qin glanced at each other: "Then let's continue chasing!" ”

"Can't chase it!" Ah Chong shook his head and said, "The night is so dark, it is difficult for the other party to find a piece of snow casually, we have limited manpower, and it is dangerous to chase down." Go back to camp first! It's important to protect your people! ”

"What about you? Why don't you go back with us? Suri Lehoke stepped on his horse and said to Ah Chong.

"You go back first, I'll go around and I'll be back!"

"Good!"

Su Rile and Ke had seen Ah Chong's ability, and knew that his ability was too much stronger than others, so he immediately rushed to the camp with Dai Qin and the others.

Ah Chong returned to the place where he had fought with Jing Wumian just now, and found that Jing Wumian was gone, Ah Chong looked around a few more times, but found no trace of him, knowing that he had probably been rescued by his accomplices.

At this time, goose feather-like snowflakes fell from the sky, and the footprints on the ground were wiped out by the snow in a moment. Ah Chong was concerned about the situation in the camp and didn't dare to stay for a long time, so he turned around and rushed to the camp.

Back in the camp, seeing that everyone was hiding behind the carriage and didn't dare to move, Naya had already told everyone about Ah Chong's pursuit of Jing Wumian. Suzhlehok also told everyone about the search for the sniper.

Encountering such an elusive enemy, and losing so many men and horses at once without even fighting each other, everyone was panicked, and they had no idea for a while, and their eyes looked at Ah Chong together.

Perhaps the only one who can save everyone is this mysterious and cold young man.

"At the moment, there are only two people on the other side, and I injured one of them, so they shouldn't come again tonight."

Seeing that Ah Chong was confident, Timur turned his head and instructed everyone: "I heard it, everyone should go back to their tents and sleep first!" Rest early and leave early tomorrow morning! ”

Ah Chong nodded to Timur: "I'll keep vigil tonight." ”

Ah Chong knew that the shadow warrior was elusive, and although Jing Wumian was seriously injured by him, he was not sure if the other person would come back to sneak attack, not to mention that the person who had not yet shown up was a sharpshooter who could kill with one shot from 1,500 meters away.

But he can't tell anyone else about this worry, and the most important thing now is to stabilize the morale of the army and not let the panic continue to spread.

After everyone returned to the tent, Ah Chong examined the corpses on the ground again, a total of three people and five horses, all of them were shot in the head, and their heads were almost broken by bullets, Ah Chong found two 7.62mm bullets on the ground nearby, the bullets had been deflated, presumably caused by impact. Ah Chong stared at these warheads in a daze.

At this time, Naya came out of the tent and sat silently next to Ah Chong. After a while, he said, "Brother Chong, will those people come back?" ”

"It's okay, with me, they don't dare to do anything."

Ah Chong wanted to comfort her a few more words, but when he thought that someone had killed a few people under his nose tonight, he couldn't help but be speechless for a while.

There were casualties on both sides of this attack, so what about the next one?

The sniper clearly wanted to kill all the horses first, and then slowly eat away at the rest. If he had pointed all his guns at the people, they would have suffered even more casualties.

Naya didn't notice the change in Ah Chong's expression, snuggled up to him and said, "Brother Chong, after meeting with the eldest brother and them this time, can you persuade Abba to stop arguing with the eldest brother?" ”

"Me? What's the use of what I say, it's your family affair......" Ah Chong couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.

"Abba will listen to you, Abba believes in you the most! Abba also told me, if anything happens to him, him, let me take Arislan with you...... You will take care of us. ”

Ah Chong avoided Naya's gaze and turned his head to look at Timur's tent, and his heart suddenly became extremely sad.

The old man had realized that this was a battle of great disparity, that such a surprise attack had left them powerless, and that he might have anticipated his own death.

It's just that he can really protect Naya and Arislan?

……

Early the next morning, Timur and his people got up and began to pack up the camp. Most of the people stayed up all night, and everyone was silent and busy in an orderly manner. There was blood on the white snow, and the bodies of several horses and three dead people were still lying on the ground.

Timur ordered Suril Hok to put on a new set of clothes for the three dead and bury them in a pit on the spot. After a brief breakfast, the team marched eastward.

Because of the lack of a few horses, they had to reduce some of their loads, and in addition to food, fuel, and tents, unnecessary things were abandoned on the spot, and everyone traveled lightly.

The snow is getting heavier and heavier, and the white hair wind is blowing fiercely, and this white plague has been going on for a week. This was a great disaster for the herdsmen, and it made the journey of the Timurid people even more difficult. But no one in the team complained, and everyone was silent, and they hurried silently in the bitter cold wind.

Ah Chong followed at the back of the team on horseback, and Dai Qin led a few men to reconnoiter in front.

By noon, the weather showed no signs of getting better, and the wind was getting stronger. The wind swept the snowflakes, covering the sky and the earth with gray clouds, and visibility became extremely low, and even breathing became difficult.

At this time, Dai Qin, who was in front of the team, suddenly turned around and ran back. Seeing this, Ah Chong hurriedly rode his horse to catch up, "What's wrong?" ”

"Ahead! There is a camp! Dai Qin shouted in the wind, pointing into the distance.

Ah Chong was stunned, judging from the map, this place is a wasteland, and there should be no camp.
