Chapter 78: The wilderness is vast

Two days later, in the early hours of the morning

Thylacine Rocks

This piece of undulating rocky caves is dense, and the mountain rocks are only ten to thirty or forty meters high, which is the highest point on the surrounding endless grassland.

A wolf flag flutters in the wind and is planted at the highest point of the mountain rock, declaring the ownership of the land.

More than 320 wolf cavalry guards moved to camp here, and most of the dozen cowboys sent by the No. 18 garrison lived in a nearby cave, which was dry, warm and sheltered from the wind, far more comfortable than living in tents.

Li Fushou and his entourage of more than 50 horses arrived here to inspect, and it has been ten days since they came out, and the things at home are piling up, and they must go back as soon as possible.

Look to the past

The withered yellow grass was half a man tall, swaying in the wind and making a rustling sound, and the blue sky was as clear as a wash, and white clouds were floating.

The landscape of this wasteland is desolate and vast, and contains an endless taste of silence.

Li Fushou, accompanied by Zhou Dazhui, the commander of the wolf cavalry guard, and Li Baihu, the deputy commander, rode around the neighborhood, and saw nothing but endless wild grass or wild grass, and occasionally sporadic kangaroos staring at the cowboys, and their black eyes were full of circles.

The scenery on the wasteland will get tired of seeing it after a while.

Li Fushou said a few words with **, and was about to turn the horse's head to return, when he suddenly heard a long horn sound in the thylacine rock, accompanied by a black smoke straight into the sky.

A strong enemy is coming!!

Everyone didn't dare to slack off, and immediately escorted Li Fushou to gallop away, and soon came to the vicinity of the thylacine rock.

It is a rocky field with a circumference of two or three kilometers, made up of hundreds of large weathered rocks, which appear alone and abruptly in the wasteland.

In the vicinity of the rocks, more than 300 knights of the Wolf Cavalry were already heavily armed and sitting on their horses, ready to attack.

In the grass high in the rocks, there were also two 6-barreled Gatling hand-cranked machine guns, which were seized.

"Master, please go to the headquarters ......"

"No need, the other non-combatants enter the command, I'll go up and see what's going on?"

Between words

Li Fushou turned over and got off the horse, strode up the rock with a horsewhip in his hand, and the commanders behind him had dispersed back into the cavalry, only the commander was Zhou Dazhui and the deputy commander Li Baihu followed closely.

At the highest point of the rock, a wolf rider fell on one knee to report;

"Report to the lord of the mountain and the commander; The Pilken bandits, numbering about a hundred horsemen, were less than three miles away, and were still approaching. ”

"Well, stand down."

"Yes."

Li Fushou picked up the binoculars and took a closer look, and he could clearly see that the gang with one person and two horses looked extremely arrogant, and was slowly approaching on horseback, and the "wild wolf Bilken" in the team was impressively listed.

"Prepare for battle."

"Yes, ready to fight."

The conductor is Zhou Da Hammer with both feet, loudly repeating the order and conveying it, a sound of guns preparing sounded under the mountain rock, and the atmosphere instantly became tense.

In the distance, the "wild wolf" Pilken was also observing with a telescope, and he clearly saw the tall Li Fushou, who was wearing a cloak and showing off, and immediately became the focus of attention.

"Stop moving."

Bilken raised his hand, and then commanded his men with a look of arrogance; "Go to someone, notify [Lee] on the other side and tell him that I want to talk directly, no one has ever been able to take my things and hurt my people without paying the price."

"Yo Ho ......"

The bandits screamed excitedly, and rushed over with a ride away from the brigade, stopping about 150 meters away from the thylacine rocks, shouting loudly to convey the words of the bandit leader.

The Red River Valley's answer was equally sonorous; Get out of here or die!

The distance between the two sides was close, and there was no need to report to his subordinates, and the wild wolf Bilken had already heard it clearly, and his face was red because of the floating breath.

The other party did not respond to the request for face-to-face dialogue at all, and seemed extremely contemptuous and rude, which really angered him.

No matter how bastard "Wild Wolf" Bilken is and has done countless bad things that have lost his conscience, he still admires elegant and noble chivalry in his bones, just like a bad boy wants to be praised.

Originated from the chivalry of the Middle Ages, it is very popular in Britain and France and other countries, and such a bridge often occurs in the confrontation between the two sides;

"I beg your pardon, sir, that I had to command my army to attack you, and for the sake of the high knightly honor, we will not be the first to fire, please accept my sincere greetings."

"It's a pity sir, a noble knight will not be the first to strike at the enemy, I can only refuse your offer, please fire at us first."

"I'm sorry, I think this is an insult to my personal and family honor, so I insist that we be fired first."

"I can't do it, the knight would rather die a glorious death than let the high honor be tainted, and my army will not be the first to fire under any circumstances."

This deeply poisoned spirit of secondary school has deeply influenced the white cowboys in North America and Australia, who always fantasize about a pre-battle dialogue, defending the honor of knights with blood and life, and writing an immortal legend.

It's almost a man's ultimate dream, even if "Wolf the Wolf" Bilken is just a bandit.

It's a pity that the wolf rider guard didn't cooperate at all, and [Li] was not in the mood to play such a childish game with the "wild wolf" Bilken, and the gentleman did not stand under the dangerous wall.

On marksmanship and riding, ahem......

"Boss, we should give them some color and teach these obedient children a good lesson."

"Hey, hey, hey...... I'm looking forward to it! ”

"Don't worry, boss, I'll take my guys and kick them in the ass, and when we attack, these neatly lined up rookies will be scared to pee, I can guarantee that."

The gangsters clamored vigorously, and the "wolf" Pilken finally nodded and said with a gloomy expression;

"Billy Kid, get your men ready to launch a tentative attack, we need to wait a little longer for Billy Clanton and Scarface Eck's men to get to their intended positions and follow these guys' paths. ”

"Don't worry, my men can attack at any time and greet them with knives and guns."

Billy Claiburn, nicknamed "Billy the Kid", smiled cruelly, and the victory on the shores of Lake Karl left them empty-eyed, and extreme arrogance spread, as if they were the king of the world.

"Wild Wolf" Pilken is indeed worthy of being a cunning fox bandit leader, he divides his bandits into two groups, one wave faces the enemy head-on to absorb the attention of the other party, and the other wave quietly steals the back road.

Although the Red River Valley militia regiment is well-trained, it has not gone through a major battle or experienced a bloody battle, and once it is attacked on the rear road, it is easy to mess up and collapse all at once.

At that time, the gangs will be able to take what they want.

"Wild Wolf" Pilken was indeed afraid of the Red River Valley cavalry in one place, and the number was as high as more than 1,300 people, more than six times the number of bandits.

No matter how arrogant Bilken is, he will not think that in a head-to-head one-on-six battle, he will fiercely suppress his opponent and win.

There are three or four hundred cavalry in the thylacine rock area, and he doesn't care about it yet.

The confrontation between the two sides did not last long, and there was a faint shout of killing as the wind came, which made the face of the "wild wolf" Pilken change abruptly.

The sound of shouting and killing came from the direction of the more than 100 bandits led by his subordinates Billy Clanton and "Scarface" Ek, is there an ambush there?

"Go to a few people and see, what's going on?"

Several scouts in the team heard the sound, raised their whips and slapped the horses' buttocks, and galloped away like a storm.

There was no need for such trouble, and a group of men and horses had already fled from the distant hilly area, and the smoke and dust kicked up by the horses' hooves filled the sky, and the faces of the comers could soon be seen.

Who are not the gangsters Billy Clanton and "Scarface" Ek?

Nearly half of their men had been lost, and only fifty or sixty horsemen were left to flee in disarray, and the look on their faces could not be concealed at all, and they approached the direction of the Pilken gang at high speed.

Behind the remnants of the defeated army

The banner of the Tiger Cavalry Guard was waved in the wind, and the commander made Wagner and the deputy commander make Ah Hu rush to the front, leading a large number of horse teams to chase wildly, and the horses' hooves were as dense as drums, rolling up even greater smoke and dust on the wasteland.

The well-trained tiger cavalry guard unfolded in the form of a goose in the chase, and at the sound of an order, Qi Qi drew the riding spear in the horse pocket in front of him, stood up with the power of the stirrup in the high-speed gallop, raised the gun and fired it forward.

"Bang Bang Bang ......"

After the dense volley of gunfire, more than 10 more of the bandits who had fled all the way in front fell down and rolled in a heap on the dusty grass.

The commander made Wagner's shiny command knife in his hand, raised it above his head and circled it, pointing at the bandits in front again.

"Bang Bang Bang ......"

After another dense volley of guns, the bandits in front of them were hit by a few more and fell down with blood all over their bodies.

The commander sent Wagner's shining command knife high into the sky, then retracted and inserted it into its scabbard to continue the chase.

The tiger cavalry guard quickly put away his spear, and instigated the horse to sit down and follow closely, and the horse's hooves rolled like a muffled thunder across the grassland.

"Hahahaha...... I didn't expect such a coincidence, and it seems that I thought of going together. Instead of the slightest look of horror on Billen's face, he laughed.

These bandits under his command die and die, and there is no pity at all, just like the weeds in the wasteland that have been cut and grown.

As long as the golden sign of "Wild Wolf" Bill is there, some bandits are willing to run over.

The experienced Bilken knows it at a glance;

I wanted to outflank the back of others, but who knew that the other party also had the same idea, and before the main man fought, the two teams responsible for outflanking collided head-on and fought.

"The enemy has been prepared for a long time, and the brothers have retreated."

Bilken knew that he had fallen into the trap of the other party, and Red River Valley was obviously using a cavalry force as bait, and even the legendary [Lee] appeared in person, just to attract the other party to take the bait.

At this time, it was too late to shout retreat, and the wolf rider galloped up at high speed, spreading his wings far away in the wasteland, echoing the tiger rider a few miles away, like two big hands rushing towards the middle, trying to crush everything to the slag.

See this

"Maniac" Virgil's eyes suddenly turned red, the green tendons on his forehead jumped, and he waved the saber in his hand and shouted; "Boss, I'll rush with my men, you rush out through the open gap, just remember to avenge us."

After speaking, without waiting for Bilken's permission, he led dozens of bandits under him to rush out, and formed a group in the gallop of horses, like a huge iron fist smashed into the oncoming wolf cavalry guard.
