Chapter 72 [Reinforcements Arrive] (1)
Arnold pointed to the woods in the back mountain, walked towards the stable with his waist and just left the stable. He had just left the stable and shot a row of bullets from the back mountain. Luo Lie pulled Arnold back, and the bullets flew past Arnold and shot into the snow. For a moment, snowflakes splashed everywhere. Arnold was so scared that he lay on the ground, touched his chest, and was sure that he was not hit by the bullet before he breathed a sigh of relief. Although they escaped from the wooden house, they did not escape the encirclement set up by the enemy.
Luo Lie looked around and saw that all the enemies were hidden in the dense forest. I wonder how many people there were. If they waited until dawn, they would probably have nowhere to hide.
Yan Tianxin whispered: "We must save Shuanzi and go together!"
Arnold could hardly believe his ears. The three of them were clay Buddhas who crossed the river and couldn't protect themselves. Yan Tianxin was still thinking about saving people? Seeing that the wooden houses below had been sieved, I was afraid that Shuanzi would have died long ago.
At this time, the machine guns in the forest locked the direction of the stable and began to shoot. The three of them had to lie on the snow and crawled forward towards the north side of the stable.
Luo Lie sighed in his heart that the opponent's firepower was too strong, and unless the machine gun was killed, they would have no chance to break through.
The three of them moved behind the stone trough for feeding horses and used the thick stone trough to block the opponent's rapid gunfire.
Arno leaned against the stone trough, looking depressed. He finally escaped from Lingtian Castle. Unexpectedly, he was ambushed at the foot of Tianmai Mountain again. Isn’t Yan Tianxin the leader of Lianyun Village? Even the competition for bandits is so fierce now? The position of the boss is really hard to be.
Luo Lie said: "You two are responsible for attracting firepower. I will go around from the side and try to clear the enemies behind me."
Yan Tianxin shook his head and said, "Wait a little longer, let them consume ammunition for a while."
Arnold said: "They came prepared and must have brought enough ammunition. It is not a solution to wait like this."
Yan Tianxin understood that Arnold was right, and she couldn't help but feel helpless at this time. The news she brought last night made her feel a little relieved, but the reality was even worse than she thought.
Arnold said again: "This place is not far from Lianyun Village. Will there be reinforcements?"
Luo Lie and Arnold looked at Yan Tianxin at the same time. Yan Tianxin didn't say anything, but in his heart he was not optimistic about the situation of the copycat at this time.
The machine gun suddenly stopped after a round of crazy strafing. They thought the other party was just replacing bullets and it would not take too long to make the gunshots sound again, but after waiting for a while, no gunshots sounded, and sporadic exchanges of fire suddenly came from the woods in the distance.
The bullets that were originally fired at them also began to change their targets.
Arnold looked happy, but unexpectedly he told him to make sure that reinforcements were indeed coming.
The continuous shooting of machine guns sounded again, but this time it was not aiming at the stable, but began to shoot at the lurking assassinators in the forest, and bullets poured into the forest. For a moment, the enemy camp was in chaos. Yan Tianxin winked at Luo Lie, and the two of them quickly approached the rear under Arnold's cover.
The enemy hiding in the woods was obviously disrupted by this sudden situation. The rapid firepower of the machine gun forced them to move their hiding place. Although there were two people who had been shot and fell to the ground. During their transfer, Luo Lie and Yan Tianxin suddenly appeared. Luo Lie threw a grenade to the enemy camp. With the explosion, four assassinators flew into the air.
Yan Tianxin shot in turn, shooting all the other enemies. When she came closer, she saw one of them not dead yet. Yan Tianxin used his pistol to lift the black cloth covering the other person's face, but she saw a strange face. She frowned, then stood up, aimed at the other person's chest and shot.
During the counterattack between the two of them, the machine guns were always covering them. The stunned enemy had just reorganized the attack for a while. However, this time their target was no longer Yan Tianxin and Luo Lie. They approached the high ground where the machine gun was located. They had to snatch the machine gun back to control the situation again.
However, they soon discovered that this was a wrong decision. The uninvited guest who snatched the machine gun was extremely accurate in his gun's shooting. The machine gun seemed to have eyes in his hand, and the bullets almost never fell into nothing. In a short while, more than a dozen people were shot and fell to the ground. The assassin's actions of the scammers gave Luo Lie and others the opportunity to counterattack. They began to cooperate with the machine gunners to launch an orderly attack. Shuanzi also came out of the room. He held a rifle and used the counterattack to the familiar geographical environment around him.
The counterattack lasted for about ten minutes. The assassinators realized that the mission could not be completed and began to retreat. After clearing the enemies around them, Yan Tianxin did not continue to chase them. Many corpses were lying in the snow in the woods. Yan Tianxin checked one of the people and pushed away the cotton coat to reveal the military uniform inside. It is not difficult to see from the style of the military uniform that it should belong to the troops of Xu Beishan, the warlord of the South Manchus. Arnold also pushed away the clothes of several others and found that the few people were wearing military uniforms.
Luo Lie walked towards the high ground in the forest and saw a Maxim heavy machine gun still standing there, and the gunman was still shooting continuously, rubbing the overheated muzzle, but the gunman was gone.
Luo Lie frowned and suddenly took out the grenade. A figure appeared in the woods, but it was Lu Weilin. The Browning m1910 in his hand pointed at Luo Lie's chest.
Luo Lie smiled and said, "I guess it was you!" He hung the grenade again on his waist.
Lu Weilin nodded and put the pistol into the sheath. There was still a piece of tape on his nose. Luo Lie used a butt stock to break his nose, but it still hurts faintly. Lu Weilin said: "I said that we will meet again."
Luo Lie looked at the machine gun and then looked at Lu Weilin. Although he didn't say anything, he knew in his heart that if Lu Weilin had not appeared in time today, the consequences would be unimaginable, and it would be difficult for them to escape from the firepower net woven by the Maxim machine gun.
Arnau and Yan Tianxin rushed over and saw Lu Weilin. They immediately realized that it was this guy who rescued them just now.
Yan Tianxin looked at Lu Weilin with vigilance. Lu Weilin spread his hands and made an indifferent gesture, and then said: "If you don't object, Luo Lie and I want to talk about something separately."
Yan Tianxin turned and left, and she heard Shuanzi's crying loudly from Linwai.
Arnold continued to clear the battlefield with his submachine gun.
Lu Weilin took out a box of cigarettes and threw them to Luo Lie. Luo Lie reached out to take it, pulled out a cigarette and handed it to Lu Weilin. Lu Weilin shook his head, pointed to a corpse next to the machine gun and said, "What I found from him is a gift for you."
Luo Lie laughed, lit a cigarette, took a sip, and said, "You've been following us?"
Lu Weilin shook his head and said, "I'm here to find Qibao Wind-Hailing Tower Talisman."
Lu Weilin did not lie, and his goal was also clear. Since the Seven Treasures of Wind-Habiting Tower Talisman was in Luo Xingmu's hands, he would find Luo Xingmu to snatch it back and take it back. Although he didn't know how to find Luo Xingmu, he believed that Luo Lie should have a way, so he thought that as long as he followed Luo Lie, he could find the target. So he followed him all the way. Although Luo Lie and his party were alert, Lu Weilin was also an ordinary person. He had received extremely rigorous military training, including wild survival tracking and reconnaissance. In addition, the weather was bad recently, wind and snow also provided him with good cover.
Luo Lie secretly admired Lu Weilin's perseverance, but he also realized that Lu Weilin might have had no choice but to do so. Otherwise, with his cold and arrogant temperament, how could he be willing to use it for Ye Qinghong? Luo Lie said: "Do you know where these people come from?"
Lu Weilin nodded and said, "Tell me about the Qibao Wind-Hailing Tower Talisman." Although Luo Lie said that the Qibao Wind-Hailing Tower Talisman was in Luo Xingmu last time, he did not explain in detail how it was lost. Although Lu Weilin believed that Luo Lie would not lie, he still had great curiosity about what happened.
Luo Lie then briefly said that the last time he shot the Seven Treasure Wind-Habiting Tower Talisman into the right hand of the ape man in the Tibetan Knife Cave. Lu Weilin felt that this fact was a bit mysterious after hearing this, but he also believed that Luo Lie would not deceive him. The Wind-Habiting Tower Talisman was just Luo Lie's speculation in Luo Xingmu's hands. Luo Lie believed that the ape man was raised by Luo Xingmu. If it was injured, Luo Xingmu would naturally help deal with it. When dealing with the wound, he should find the wind-Habiting Tower Talisman, and naturally he would take it for himself.
Lu Weilin sighed: "You threw such a precious thing away by you. It's really a waste of resources!" He didn't know that Luo Lie threw away the Wind-Habiting Tower Talisman at that time to save Yan Tianxin's life.
Luo Lie smiled indifferently and said, "Is there anything more important in this world than life?" He had no regrets about this matter. If he had asked him to make a new choice, it would still be the same. It was not because he had an extraordinary special relationship with Yan Tianxin. Even if the person in danger was Lu Weilin, he would make such a choice, because in his heart, human life is much more important than these so-called treasures.
Lu Weilin said: "No matter what, you have not fulfilled your promise." The promise he refers to was an agreement between Luo Lie and Ye Qinghong, who used money to eliminate disasters for others. Ye Qinghong had already paid a considerable commission.
Luo Lie laughed: "The promise needs to be based on mutual trust. Before I came to Paobaishan, I had an agreement with Ye Qinghong that she should not interfere with any of my actions. She was the first to break the promise, so I don't owe her anything." His eyes turned to Lu Weilin and deliberately said: "What's more, you have to complete the task for her now, and I don't need to do anything more to me."
Lu Weilin said: "Take me to find Luo Xingmu!"
Luo Lie remained silent. To be fair, Lu Weilin was brave and resourceful. If he joined his own camp, it would be a big bosom. However, Lu Weilin had a different goal from his own. He was to rescue the sparrow, while Lu Weilin was to get the Seven Treasures of Wind-Habiting Tower. With Lu Weilin's style of doing things, he might do whatever he wants to achieve his goal at critical moments, and might even endanger the life of the sparrow.
