Chapter 276: The Cavalry Comes to Help

When Company Commander Ding caught up with the front team with the wounded soldiers, the Meizhou infantry chasing on the mountain road was less than a mile, and at this distance, the urging and cursing of the Meizhou junior colonel could even be faintly heard. After Company Commander Ding saw Zan Wanshou, he just wanted to ask Hou Xing why he stopped, but when he saw the neat cavalry lined up on the flat ground in front of him, he kept silent. Most of Meizhou's cavalry had arrived in the small basin at this moment, blocking the way, leaving only a few scouts on the official road.

Needless to say, Hou Xing and Company Commander Ding, even Zan Wanshou, who was born as a scholar, knew that his party would definitely not be able to deal with these hundred cavalrymen. Even a special company of the Thunderbolts, fully equipped with ammunition, would not have been able to rush through such a large open field in front of these cavalry. There were blockades in front and pursuers, which made Zan Wanshou desperate, he took the sword and shield from a soldier, and was determined to fight the enemy to the death, and was never captured and humiliated by Liu Da'er by stealing his life. When everyone saw him like this, they also cheered up and prepared to break the net with the enemy.

When the crowd was about to let go of Yibo, the warriors who were blocking behind also returned to the crowd, and the pursuers were less than two hundred meters away. Company Commander Ding hurriedly comforted the broken soldiers, and then took their only six remaining grenades and hung them on his body. Just when everyone was puzzled, he was already running to the direction of the pursuers. At this time, two pursuers had already appeared at the bend in front, and they were suddenly cut to the ground by him, and the terrible screams frightened the pursuers behind to retreat again and again. These pursuers were frightened by the grenades thrown from time to time, and instead of rushing forward in a swarm, they first sent people to explore the way or send them to death, and then retreated as soon as the wind and grass moved. The next step is to send people to explore the way, and when it is safe to do so, they will rush forward.

The pursuers trembled and sent two more people forward to explore the way, but they were unsurprisingly dropped again. However, after repeating this twice, the pursuers became emboldened again, and they had already discovered that there were only a few ambushers hiding at the corner of the mountain road, and most importantly, there were no firearms. As long as the other party has no firearms, there is no need to be afraid, so many people have rushed up, and stepping on them can also trample them to death. Thinking of this, these pursuers were ready to move again and began to rush forward. Liu Da'er, oh, it was General Liu who said that as long as you kill Zan Wanshou, you will have a lot of wealth and wealth, and you will be promoted and rich like beauties.

A grenade made a graceful arc and landed in the midst of the noisy pursuers, and after a few rolls, it exploded. Due to the dense crowd, more than 10 people were killed and injured by this grenade, and some people were blown up in the air and rolled down the hillside to the ravine below. This grenade extinguished the flame of hope that had just ignited in the hearts of the pursuers, and it turned out that the other party was deliberately deceiving. The shadow of the dead and wounded made the Meizhou soldiers cringe again, and if they were blown up, there was no point in making money. If you are injured and disabled, it will be even more miserable, and it is still difficult to survive in this troubled world, let alone a wasted person? If you lose your use value, you will only be swept out of the house by Liu Da'er, and you can only beg for a way to live.

Two more unlucky ghosts were forced by the general to walk to the bend of the mountain road, and while they were tiptoeing, a big man suddenly jumped out of his hiding place, and frightened the two men into turning around and running. This big man was Company Commander Ding, at this time he did not throw a grenade, not even holding a weapon, but he frightened the large group of pursuers who were still twenty or thirty meters away and took a cool breath - I saw that his naked chest was full of grenades. The death charge of the Thunderbolt death squad in Meizhou City not only caused huge casualties to Liu Da'er's men, but also planted a shadow of fear on them. These soldiers are not cowardly, and many of them are fierce, but such a desperate style of fighting makes them feel cold to the bone. At present, Company Commander Ding has brought back the memories they have deliberately forgotten, making them even more afraid.

Taking advantage of the stunned moments of the pursuers, Company Commander Ding retracted back to the bend of the mountain road. As soon as he hid, several sharp arrows flew whizzing. Anyway, he is not stupid, if he stays there, he will definitely be shot into a hedgehog by feathered arrows. To prove his existence, he would from time to time demonstrate with his knife outstretched or throw small stones at the gathering place of the Meizhou army. The small stone thrown for the first time frightened the pursuers who had become frightened birds into scurrying around. For a time, this mountain road became a place of confrontation between the two sides. Although the number of soldiers in the Meizhou army is large, they refuse to step forward, after all, where is the life of money and beauties. And Company Commander Ding is even more unlikely to take the initiative to attack, after all, his purpose is to delay as much time as possible - delay until dark or reinforcements arrive. He didn't even throw another grenade, and there were only a few grenades on his chest, and one less to throw was.

The general of the Meizhou army saw that his subordinates were cowering, but the sky was getting darker and darker, and in a hurry, he whipped the soldiers who refused to come forward. The whipped soldier rolled on the ground in pain, but still refused to come forward. They all knew that there was only one person on the other side, and as long as a few people went to lure the grenade to detonate, the mountain road would be unimpeded. But after all, it is human instinct to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, and it is so courageous to go there knowing that you will die! Compared with the Thunderbolt army daredevils who sacrificed their lives for the cause of resisting Mongolia and avenging their family and country, these Meizhou soldiers mostly served as soldiers for food. At the moment, it was for Liu Daer to seek refuge in the Mongolian army to get promoted and get rich, so he naturally refused to die.

Under both soft and hard measures, the general who led the team saw that his subordinates still refused to step forward, so he had to give up in a huff. He knew that if he pushed the soldiers too quickly, these soldiers would mutinied, or scatter the grass as bandits, or turn against Zan Wanshou with a counterattack, and he would even lose his head because of this—either killed by the rebels or killed by Liu Daer. He immediately ordered his soldiers to divide into three teams, one of which continued to shoot arrows at the bend, while the other two teams made a detour. This order was resolutely carried out, but now the mountains and forests are overgrown with thorns and bushes, and it is very time-consuming and laborious to cut the way forward with a knife and axe.

When the sun was about to set, there was a faint sound of thunder in the direction of the official road in the north of the small basin, and the cavalry colonel of the Meizhou Army frowned, looked at the sunning sun in the west, and his face changed greatly. Knowing that it would rain in the clear weather, and that the sound of the thunder was clearly the sound of the horses galloping, he immediately ordered the horses to turn their heads to the north, and prepared to charge. In a few moments, the sound of hooves mixed with the neighing of horses approached the small basin, and the earth trembled slightly with the dense trampling of the horses' hooves. Judging from the sound of horses' hooves, the colonel led by the Meizhou cavalry should be about twice as long as his own.

It's just that this little colonel thinks very highly of himself, and thinks that although his cavalry is not as good as the Mongolian iron cavalry, it also has the strength to fight with the Mongolian Han cavalry. These cavalry came from Pengshan County in the north, and they were undoubtedly the cavalry of the Thunderbolt Army. He believed that with the cooperation of the infantry in the rear, it would be easy for his cavalry to defeat the cavalry of the Thunderbolt army, which had not been formed for a long time, even if the opponent was more numerous. In fact, this cavalry is also highly valued by Liu Da'er, both in terms of equipment and the quality of soldiers are the leaders of the Meizhou army, in terms of combat power on flat land, it can definitely surpass the five hundred Meizhou infantry on the mountain road in the rear.

When the Thunderbolt soldiers who were guarding Zhan Wanshou saw the cavalry charging into the small basin, they couldn't help but cheer. They were all soldiers of the Special Brigade, so they naturally recognized that the cavalry from the north was holding the banner of the cavalry company of the Special Brigade.
