Chapter 15: The Pursuit
Gunpowder walked to the group of soldiers with his hands behind his back, looked at the three depressed men standing in the front, and asked, "You are the leader of the Three Banners?" ”
"Yes." The three of them replied in unison.
Gunpowder squinted at them for a while, and said in a deep voice: "These soldiers are all your subordinates, more than 40,000 people, which is an unstable factor." And I'm going to pick out at least 8,000 of these 40,000 people to join our federal army, then you are alive, like a time bomb, you say, can I keep you? ”
Seeing that the bodies of the three of them couldn't help but tremble slightly, Gunpowder continued: "However, you chose to surrender in the end, instead of stubbornly resisting to the end, I like this very much." You are welcome to join the Federal Army, where there will be a bigger stage for you to use your talents. However, we in the Federal Army only have soldiers killed in battle, and there are no captives who surrendered, so I don't want to see you surrender to anyone else after joining the Federal Army. ”
When the three of them heard the words of the gunpowder, their original panicked expressions were suddenly replaced by ecstasy, and the first half of the gunpowder was right, if they stood in the position of the gunpowder, they would also be executed to prevent future troubles. But they never expected that Gunpowder would have such a big mind, knowing that they would definitely die, they could survive in a desperate situation, which made them full of respect and gratitude for Gunpowder, and since then, Gunpowder has 3 more invincible generals under his command.
With the assistance of these three people, the aftermath work was carried out much more smoothly, and soon, all the work was handed over, and the gunpowder was satisfied that more than 6,000 soldiers were selected to join the federal army out of the 40,000 soldiers.
Just as they were packing up and about to withdraw the wooden flag, two helicopters flew quickly from a distance and landed slowly on the periphery of the crowd. A group of more than 30 servicemen dressed in sky-blue camouflage jumped from the helicopter. I saw them quickly run in front of the gunpowder, and after giving a military salute, a soldier with the rank of captain stepped forward and said loudly: "Report to Commander Zhu, we have been ordered by our commander to come to inquire about the leader of the three banners of Xiayuan. ”
Seeing them, Gunpowder couldn't help but smile and said jokingly: "Your commander really can't wait?" At the speed of your helicopter, it should have set off with the previous bomber, right? Do you want to ask where the remaining remnants of the Blue Flag have gone? ”
The captain who led the team turned slightly red, and said with a little embarrassment: "Our commander said that Commander Zhu is like a god with his troops, and he will definitely be able to end the battle when we arrive, so we set off a little early." Our mission this time is to find the whereabouts of the Blue Flag, and conduct reconnaissance to guide the follow-up troops. ”
Gunpowder had such an expression, stretched out his hand to the northwest direction, and said with a smile: "I know your commander's temper, he will definitely not wait for me to go back, afraid that I will rob him of his business, right?" I asked you earlier, the people from the Blue Flag went to the northwest, and I don't know where it is. The equipment of the Northern Army was very poor, there were not many vehicles, and as soon as the Blue Flag left, they fell into civil strife, so they did not have time to find the specific location of the Blue Flag. ”
The officer listened to the gunpowder's words, saluted again, and said loudly: "Yes, I understand, thank you Commander Zhu." Then I won't disturb Commander Zhu's work, let's go first. ”
With that, he boarded the helicopter with his men and whistled northwest.
Sequoia walked to the side of Gunpowder, and only after seeing the helicopter disappear into the distant sky did she purse her lips and said disdainfully: "This scorpion is so stingy, I am afraid that you will rob his business, and you actually sent troops out so quickly." ”
Gunpowder smiled at the end, "He doesn't need to be so nervous, the prairie is so big, if he wants to find the location of the Blue Flag inside, if he relies on our army alone, it will undoubtedly be looking for a needle in a haystack." They can find it in the Air Force, but our army has been in the limelight a little too much recently, and he must be nervous. ”
With that, he ignored the situation in the northwest and rushed to Muqi Town with troops and civilians.
The helicopter flies at an altitude of 6,000 meters, and if you don't look carefully on the ground, you won't notice the two small black dots overhead.
The paratrooper air service regiment sent by the scorpion, that is, more than 30 soldiers of the special forces subordinate to the paratroopers, were carefully observing the situation below with their eyes wide open, and the slightest wind and grass could not escape their eagle-like eyes. Now they have said goodbye to gunpowder for more than an hour, and according to the speed of the helicopter, they are now in the depths of the grassland more than 300 kilometers away, and they have long been out of the Chinese border demarcated during the civilization period.
Suddenly, a soldier exclaimed, Captain, look at the direction of 3 o'clock. The captain immediately raised his binoculars and took a closer look. I saw that on the grassland at 3 o'clock, rows of yurts were particularly conspicuous, and according to the number of yurts, there were at least 40,000-50,000 people.
"Found it, find a place to land, the crew will take advantage of this time to refuel the plane, and the others will go with me to take a closer look." As soon as the captain finished speaking, the helicopter began to descend slowly and stopped in a small hill. Slowly opening under the tail, four small all-terrain vehicles retreated from the helicopter.
More than 30 soldiers, all dressed in green camouflage nets to block the sky-blue camouflage inside, quickly approached the colony in four all-terrain vehicles. When it was still far away, all the soldiers got out of the car, except for four people who were left to watch the car, and all the others got into the dense grass and approached cautiously.
The people in the settlement were living a quiet and happy life, and they could not have imagined that in the grass a few hundred meters away from them, dozens of pairs of eyes were staring at them with malicious intent. Deep into the area inside the savannah, there was not a single zombie present, because they came out early, and at that time the warlords had not yet had a scuffle, so everyone came out with a large amount of food.
In addition to clearing the wasteland and planting a batch of grain seeds, the remaining grain was enough for them to support the crops in the field until they matured. Although the land on the prairie was not suitable for growing food, the leader of the Blue Banner, the female leader whom they all loved, collected very little tax from the people here, which also made it possible for them to have a lot of surplus after paying the taxes, enough for them not to endure hunger.
Every time they heard how hard the people in the original 3 Banners territory were living after the civil strife, and even when there was a scene of cannibalism, they were glad that they had a good leader. Lead them away from that whirlpool in time, this is nearly 400 kilometers away from their original base camp, even if the original 3 flags ended the civil strife, it is impossible to find here, so they are safe now.
