Chapter 410: Heavy losses
This guy is a ruthless guy who can directly destroy his companions.
The three companions around him were shocked, but they also understood their leader's thoughts - they couldn't leave their lives to each other.
Immediately after, the three of them hurriedly turned around and fled towards the hill behind them. After crossing this mountain, we will reach the second valley. Of course, they will have to climb another mountain to ensure safety. Because on another hill, there is another gang of their accomplices lying in ambush!
And seeing that these four guys ran towards Lu, Lao Qin and the others immediately launched a pursuit.
It's just that Lao Qin, a group of Praetorian Guard soldiers, now only has seven good hands left, plus two wounded, one heavy and one light.
In this high-intensity pursuit, the two wounded were obviously unable to keep up with the rhythm. Moreover, their camp is still in the valley, and some equipment and other equipment must be watched. So Lao Qin arranged for the two wounded to stay in place and camp, and also left the "number checking station" here to help guard, for fear that the other party would attack again or something.
As for Lao Qin, he took the remaining five warriors and went straight to the four black-clothed men who fled in front of him.
β¦β¦
And just when the gunshots rang out, Zhao Qianjun, who was more than ten kilometers away, also heard this movement!
Ten kilometers, about 20 miles, I am afraid that I will not be able to hear it in ordinary places. It's just that it's a silent mountain night, and the gunfire travels too far. Moreover, among Zhao Qianjun's gang, there are also many good players with good ears, and they immediately heard the familiar sound of gunfights.
Such a dense gunfire was not a joke, it was obviously Lao Qin and them who had encountered a fierce battle. And to make the shootout last for such a long time, it is obvious that Lao Qin's pressure on them may not be small.
Zhao Qianjun's expression immediately turned grim, and he immediately asked all the brothers to take action. There were a total of 11 people in his group, but it was impossible for all of them to run over for reinforcements. Four soldiers were left to carry the baggage, and the leader of them was the 120 "ambulance", which slowly moved forward behind. And Zhao Qianjun himself rushed over with six of his fastest men. I only brought guns and bullets, and went into battle lightly.
At this time, Zhao Qianjun's marching speed was faster than during the day. After all, it is an all-out attack, and natural action is like the wind.
β¦β¦
However, Gao Longzang, who was far away in the No. 3 Valley, really couldn't hear the movement.
Because they had only advanced about twenty kilometers at this time, but the place where Lao Qin's shootout broke out was fifty kilometers deep. Such a straight-line distance is more than 30 kilometers apart.
Thirty kilometers, sixty miles, is equivalent to the distance between two county seats. Such a long distance, coupled with the two mountain barriers, even if the wind is down, it is estimated that it will not be heard.
Therefore, Gao Longzang and the four of them slept peacefully all night, nourishing their spirits, unaware that a night of fierce fighting had broken out dozens of kilometers ahead.
"Ah......" Early in the morning, Gao Longzang woke up and yawned, quite comfortable. Yesterday I was tired all day, but today I can be regarded as resting. It's just that I slept too hard all night, and I even missed the morning cultivation. When he woke up, it was already past seven o'clock in the morning, and it was dawn.
However, the second sister and Xiaomo are not as good as him. Although these two girls didn't even carry a backpack, their physical strength was too far worse than Gao Longzang. So, until now, I still sleep soundly. The second sister is still in that bad sleeping position, and even the sleeping bag can't stop her from rolling in her sleep.
Xue Xingyan woke up, sitting on a stone outside in a daze. What he was holding in his hand was the jade pendant that Feng Daoren had left behind. Obviously, although this old girl scolds the old man all day long, she loves the old guy very much in her heart.
"Dean," Gao Longzang walked over and said with a smile, "Miss my master?" β
", don't bother to think about him." Xue Xingyan put away the jade pendant like a trick, stood up and looked ahead, and said, "Wake up these two lazy girls, you have to hurry." They made an appointment with the Praetorian Guard to meet tomorrow at the flat valley in the middle of the penalty area by noon. People are in a hurry, so we don't have much time. β
According to the agreement, when the three groups of men and horses had advanced about 100 kilometers forward, they would have to converge again. Because these three valleys will meet again when they are 100 kilometers away. In that place, there was a large flat valley, about a circular area with a diameter of more than a dozen kilometers.
Whether it is Xue Xingyan's previous field walks or the shooting of satellite pictures, this can be proved.
According to the judgment of both sides, everyone traveled at a speed of between 50 and 60 kilometers per day. Yesterday and today, you can basically arrive. It's just that considering that yesterday, Gao Longzang and the others had to climb over the two mountains, and the speed of advance must have been much slower, so the Praetorian Guard Bureau agreed to delay for half a day and wait for them until noon tomorrow.
So now counting, Gao Longzang and they still have a day today, and half a day tomorrow. It takes a day and a half to travel 80 kilometers of mountain roads, but in fact, the time is quite tight, so there is no time to delay.
For a whole day, the four of them hurried on their way. Look around along the way, trying to spot any possible clues. This Kunlun Mountain is very desolate, even if there is some vegetation in this forbidden area, it is relative to the outside of the mountain. In fact, once there is a figure here, as long as the other party does not deliberately hide it, they will be able to see it.
Moreover, the strongest Gao Longzang and Xue Xingyan advanced parallel to the slopes on both sides of the valley, and Xue Mo and the second sister were at the bottom of the valley. The three people walked forward in parallel, if there was really Feng Daoren or Li Wangting, they would definitely not miss it in broad daylight.
Unless they encounter something in the corners, they will go up to investigate, and usually they stride forward, so this speed is fast enough. But I waited until it was dark again, and there was no movement.
It's just that when he passed through the middle section, that is, when he went about fifty kilometers deeper, Gao Longzang's heart seemed to move suddenly. Here, it is precisely the general direction of last night's fierce battle, but on the other side of the mountain. And when Gao Longzang passed through here, he seemed to be a little impulsive even the qi in his body, and even the qi in the eight veins of the Qi Jing that had been suppressed seemed to be a little impulsive.
Could it be the feeling of yesterday's fierce battle? Gao Longzang didn't know that this happened yesterday.
This feeling is amazing, and Gao Longzang is also a little weird beyond words. But after all, they couldn't find anything, so the four of them continued on their way. It wasn't until they reached the 80-kilometer point that they camped out again. At this time, the circular valley in the middle of the forbidden area was only twenty kilometers away. Tomorrow is half a day, and the time should be completely in time.
"By now, the Praetorian Guard guys should have arrived in the valley ahead." In a humble cave, Gao Longzang stirred up a bonfire and flipped the two snowcocks forked on the knife. These two prey were shot down by Xiao Mo with a hidden weapon during the day. It's bigger than a chicken, so it's a change of flavor, and at the same time, try to save the compressed biscuits in your backpack.
The second sister held her face, sniffed the smell of roast snow chicken, and shook her head and said, "Actually, I'm too lazy to see these guys, all of them are above the top." These bastards, it is better to let others clean up, an eyesore. β
"Crow's beak ......" Gao Long glanced at her: "Even if it is not pleasant, they are our partners and allies for the time being." β
The second sister snorted without squeaking, staring at the snow chicken that was about to be roasted with a pair of peach blossom eyes. The Janissaries guys were obviously not as important in her eyes as the two blackened snowcocks in front of her.
However, the second sister's crow mouth is really ruthless!
That's right, the Praetorian Guard was indeed cleaned up, and it was cleaned up quite ruthlessly! Not only was he ambushed, but he even encountered a new adversary, and the losses became more and more heavy.
β¦β¦
Just last night, Lao Qin led five Praetorian Guard soldiers to pursue the three black-clothed men who escaped, which was originally a must-win situation, just like a hungry wolf chasing a rabbit.
It's just that the other party is more familiar with the terrain here than they are, and it is easier to escape. The three men in black not only climbed over the mountain and reached the second valley, but even continued to climb the next mountain.
Of course, Lao Qin and the others would not let go, and the group of six people continued to chase and kill strongly. It's just that when they just run halfway up the mountain, the trouble is big. Because on this mountain, there are also more than 20 people in black!
It turned out that two groups of black-clothed men were guarding two mountain ranges, which was enough to observe and guard the three valleys. Since the gang of guys who ambushed Lao Qin were disabled, and they were worried that they wouldn't be able to escape, they naturally ran to another group of men in black to seek refuge.
Therefore, when Lao Qin and the others had just run halfway up the mountain, they suddenly encountered a strong blow from the opponent's new force - these are twenty guys who are waiting for work, and they condescendingly occupy an absolute terrain advantage. In addition, the people also took them by surprise, and beat Lao Qin and the six of them on their backs with a single look.
This is a one-sided situation. Although Lao Qin's marksmanship was very accurate and powerful, they only killed five people on the other side. However, Lao Qin, the six of them hung up four of them!
Only Lao Qin and another soldier were left, and they were also hung up. Now it was troublesome, Lao Qin took this most stubborn brother and hurried down the mountain, but he was pursued by the other party again. At first they chased and killed others, but now they have been replaced by others chasing and killing them.
But what makes people laugh and cry is that this situation has come to an exact same "copy"!
Because those black-clothed men left eight people to stay at the original ambush point, they only sent ten people to chase and kill Lao Qinβten people chased and killed two, and they must have been absolutely suppressed.
But these men in black didn't expect that when they were recklessly chasing and killing, they ran into Zhao Qianjun, who was rushing to reinforce him!
Okay...... Due to the haste of the encounter, and the comprehensive quality of Zhao Qianjun and the others was stronger, they defeated these ten black-clothed people as soon as they came up, and Lao Qin and the two of them also joined the battle, and even let these ten black-clothed people come to a group to be wiped out!
This time, a total of 41 people came from the two groups of black-clothed men, but 33 were hung up in a battle, which was too tragic.
And the side of the Praetorian Guard also hung four again and injured three. The one who died, including the one who fled back with Lao Qin. This benevolent brother had a bad fate, and after all, he could not escape today's catastrophe.
Today, there are seven people left in the Praetorian Guard, three intact and four wounded.
There were still three of Lao Qin's campsite left, and there were four of them in an "ambulance" at the back of the No. 2 valley.
Overall, of the 23 people who entered the mountain, only 14 are left, including six wounded soldiers!
Heavy, too bad. What's worse is that this is the first day of entering the mountain!
What's more, their doom is not over yet. These men in black are like maggots on tarsal bones, which makes people feel sick and have a headache.
