Chapter 43 Chase and Kill
The moment Tang Jian ordered his escape, several well-trained lone wolf protected Tang Jian to retreat in a hurry. Just as they were retreating, there was a rapid sound of horse hooves from the forage farm not far away. Listening to the sound of horse hooves, at least a dozen Cossack cavalrymen came out in a row and headed straight towards the place where they were hiding.
When Tang Jian and his friends were running all the way, Tang Jian was secretly worried that even with five well-trained lone wolf, he could not stop a dozen Cossack cavalry riding tall horses, and his legs could not run away from four legs!
At this time, Wang Jianchuan suddenly stopped and said anxiously: "Commander, go first, Jie Jiajun and Yuan Jingxiang block and cover on the spot. You and the commander will go first!" Wang Jianchuan pointed at the other two lonely wolves and ordered.
Jie Jiajun and Yuan Jingxiang stopped when they heard Wang Jianchuan's words, took out their black star pistols and followed Wang Jianchuan in the opposite direction.
"What are you doing? Wouldn't you die when you go like this?" Tang Jian roared, "Come back quickly, everyone can stick out together!"
Wang Jianchuan shook his head and said with a firm expression: "Commander, I will disobey this time! Let's go, you two follow me!" Jie Jiajun and Yuan Jingxiang did not obey Tang Jian's orders this time. They wanted to exchange their lives for Tang Jian's escape.
After taking a few steps, Wang Jianchuan turned his head and said sadly: "Commander, it's worth it to be able to follow you in this life! I hope Jianchuan can still protect you in the next life!"
When Wang Jianchuan said this, the horse's hooves in the distance were getting closer and closer, and even the Cossacks could be heard.
"Oh, why are you fighting here?" At this time, Zhang Zuolin, who had been talking beside him, interrupted, "There is a river not far ahead. Although there is ice on the river, the river water flows down from the hot springs on the mountain. The ice surface is thin, and people can only walk on it. As soon as the beasts walk, they fall into the water. As long as we cross that river, the Cossacks will have no choice. After crossing the river, there is a cliff not far away, and there is a natural cave under the cliff. We will be fine when we get there."
"Why didn't you say it earlier?" Tang Jian said anxiously.
"Didn't I just see you all the time quarreling? There is no way I can talk!" Zhang Zuolin also shouted injustice.
"Really?" Wang Jianchuan asked. He was afraid that Tang Jian would rather protect Tang Jian's safety with his life in order to let him go with him.
"What are you going to be too late! Go quickly!" Tang Jian said, pulling Wang Jianchuan's sheepskin coat.
At this time, the sound of horse hooves was already close!
Wang Jianchuan hesitated for a moment. When he saw Zhang Zuolin's unquestionable expression, he waved his hand: "Go, hurry up and follow the commander!"
Seeing Wang Jianchuan's order, Jie Jiajun and Yuan Jingxiang gritted their teeth and followed Tang Jian and Zhang Zuolin.
Several people ran wildly in the direction Zhang Zuolin pointed!
"It's coming soon!" Zhang Zuolin said, pointing to a distance not far ahead.
Sure enough, along the direction of Zhang Zuolin's finger, there was a river several feet wide three hundred meters ahead, and a layer of pure white ice formed on the river.
At this moment, a large number of Cossack cavalry appeared behind the several people. When Wang Jianchuan saw that there were at least sixteen horsemen, both wearing dark blue military uniforms, black dome felt hats, black long leather boots, and a thick back and wide blade in his hands. The tip of the knife was like an oak leaf-shaped sabre, and a long spear on his back.
The leader of the Cossack Cavalry was a bearded man. When he saw his team chasing ordinary people from the Qing Dynasty with only six people, he immediately burst into blood and screamed and waved his sabre toward Tang Jian and others.
For them, these people who run around in the Northeast are the best targets for practicing swords. Since they came to this remote western Liaoning, their saber has not drunk human blood for a long time.
Wang Jianchuan saw the bearded Cossack Cavalry Captain screaming and heading straight towards them, pulled out the black star on his waist, raised his hand and shot.
Unfortunately, the Cossack cavalry moved very fast. Even with Wang Jianchuan's accurate marksmanship and a small-caliber pistol, he failed to hit the leading bearded Cossack Cavalry Captain in one fell swoop. The bullet flew over to the felt hat of the Cossack Cavalry Captain and hit the shoulder of an unlucky Cossack Cavalry behind him. The unlucky Cossack Cavalry fell down and fell off his horse.
The bearded captain of the Cossack Cavalry saw that the person he was tortured dared to fight back against him. Instead of being angry, he waved his sabre and screamed strangely. He felt that the game was becoming more and more interesting.
Jie Jiajun and others saw Wang Jianchuan running and fighting back, and they also shot in the back.
But this time, the Cossack cavalry chasing behind learned their lessons. After the first gunshot, more than a dozen Cossack cavalry scattered in a row and pursued in a fan shape. When Wang Jianchuan and others counterattacked, the Cossack cavalry relied on their superb riding skills, turned over to the side of the horse, stepped on the reins with the other hand, grabbed the horse's belly, cleverly avoided the bullets, and the speed did not decrease, and they still ran towards them. Behind the horse's team, snow slags were flying, and white was raised.
Tang Jian ran and said, "Don't fight anymore, hurry up, the Cossack cavalry is superb in riding skills, and using a pistol, such a distance is useless at all!"
At this time, Tang Jian and his men were less than fifty meters away from the frozen river that day. However, the strong wind was stirring behind them, and the sound of hooves roared, and the Cossack cavalry had already posted it.
The Cossack cavalry swung their sabers in front of them. The two lone wolf players who were running in the last pulled their guns and shot. Several close Cossack cavalry were instantly shot down, but more Cossack cavalry had already surged up. For a moment, gunfire and sword shadows were everywhere. The two lone wolf players who were slaughtered by the surrounding Cossack cavalry. Blood splattered five steps, and the two lone wolf players finally fell into a pool of blood.
Taking advantage of the two lonely wolves' resistance, Tang Jian and his friends rushed forward while fighting back, and at this time they had reached the edge of the river.
When Tang Jian turned around, he saw that Wang Jianchuan and the other two had already fought with the Cossack cavalry!
Tang Jian roared, "Go away!" Two desert eagles also erupted in an instant. The first Cossack war horse was shot in the chest and rushed to the ground. Taking advantage of the insularity that the Cossack cavalry behind were blocked by the war horses that fell to the ground, Wang Jianchuan and the other two also took the opportunity to escape and jumped into the ice of the river with Tang Jian.
Tang Jian and the other two rolled on the spot as they landed, and they almost avoided the sabre of the captain of the bearded Cossack Cavalry. As soon as they fell from the ice, they ran away.
The Cossack cavalry behind knew the carrying capacity of the ice layer on the river surface, and they all pulled their horses in front of the river. The Cossack war horses were of excellent quality, raised their front hooves, and the horses neighed, and just stopped in front of the ice layer on the river surface.
Just as the Cossack cavalry stopped and formed the formation, Tang Jian and his men had already run hundreds of meters away. The Cossack cavalry picked up the spears on their backs and shot at the people on the ice.
"Bang bang..." Gunshots were everywhere, and several bullet holes were added to the ice beside Tang Jian and the others.
Tang Jian shouted: "Scatter and run!"
When several people ran outside the range of the Cossack cavalry spear, the gunshots behind them gradually became sparse. When Tang Jian and others ran across the river, the gunshots behind them had stopped.
When Tang Jian looked at the Cossack cavalry in the distance panting, he saw the captain of the bearded Cossack cavalry clenching his fist with one hand, his thumb down, and making an extremely despised move.
Wang Jianchuan cursed: "Fuck, I'll take you one day to deal with you!"
At this moment, the bearded Cossack Cavalry Captain met a cavalry behind him, carrying two bloody heads on the sabre, which were the heads of the two lone wolf members who had just died.
The bearded Cossack Cavalry Captain grinned at Tang Jian, threw two heads on the ice, and two dazzling blood marks were slid out.
Tang Jian's pupils shrank, and the two lone wolf team members were beheaded by the cavalry because they were covering themselves. Tang Jian gritted his teeth and said word by word: "Russian Russians, I will let you pay for your blood debt."
Zhang Zuolin suddenly covered his abdomen and groaned in pain, knelt on the snow, and dense cold sweat appeared on his forehead.
Seeing that blood was oozing between Zhang Zuolin's fingers covering his abdomen, Wang Jianchuan said anxiously: "Zhang Tuan is injured."
Zhang Zuolin gritted his teeth and endured the severe pain, and said, "Follow me! The Russian Cossack cavalry are about to catch up."
Wang Jianchuan looked up, and sure enough, the Cossack cavalry on the opposite side quickly adjusted their formation and ran towards one side of the river. It seemed that they were thinking about going around the river and continuing to chase after him.
Tang Jian ordered: "Jie Jiajun, train the team on Zhang Tuan, and retreat quickly!"
