【Chapter 780】If you don't enter the tiger's den, you can get the tiger
Strangely, those white-clothed soldiers who suddenly appeared did not seem to pay special attention to the appearance of Rosalind and her party. Vaguely, Rosalind felt that the weapons and equipment of those white-clothed soldiers seemed to be different from those seen in the Flaming Mountain. However, what the difference is, she can't accurately describe it for a while.
"Who? Hold it! Dismount! Hands up! "The white-clothed army is drinking orders over there.
It is estimated that they don't know the identities of Rosalind and the others, and those white-clothed soldiers are not completely in battle formation. Although each of them put their guns up, they did not really get into combat mode. The real state of combat is to dismount and hold a gun. Moreover, looking at their appearance, it seems that the vigilant surname is not particularly high. It seems that they did not estimate the combat effectiveness of Rosalind and her party too highly.
"Rush over!"
Rosalind ordered without hesitation.
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
The Zealot Guards opened fire in an attempt to fight their way out.
They are all Rosalind's personal guards, not only do they have no problems in terms of loyalty, but they are also at the peak in terms of combat effectiveness. They are armed with the best smoothbore guns, with a fast rate of fire, a long range and high accuracy. In an instant, hundreds of projectiles roared towards the white-clothed army.
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
The white-clothed troops who blocked the road also immediately fired back.
These white-clothed soldiers are equipped with moon guns. After all, the Moon Gun is a rifled gun, and its power is definitely stronger than that of the Lu Mi Gun. Therefore, in terms of weapons and equipment, the white-clothed army did not suffer. They are also battle-hardened warriors, and in terms of combat quality, they will not be inferior to those fanatics. The only place where they suffer is that they underestimate the enemy. They actually let the fanatics shoot first! They actually lost the first opportunity!
"Grass!"
"I'm stupid!"
The squad leader of the white-clothed army cursed fiercely.
He felt terrible for his stupidity, and his eyes were red.
They actually let each other take the lead! This is simply unforgivable! If you let the Commander know, you have to peel off his skin! Paralyzed, this time, it's really capsized in the gutter! No, in any case, the situation must be turned back!
"!"
"Kill them!"
The squad leader roared frantically.
The battle between the two sides instantly entered a white-hot state.
In the fierce gunfire, the soldiers of the white-clothed army kept falling. In the same way, among those fanatics, there are people who continue to fall. The whistling projectiles, the splashing blood, the neighing war horses, and the rolling human body suddenly turned the battlefield into blood. Marthatini was so frightened that she lay on the ground, not daring to move, and even her breathing was almost blocked.
This small group of white-clothed soldiers is indeed a little underestimated. They were caught off guard by fanatics. In an instant, twenty or thirty people were killed and wounded. However, they also reacted quickly, immediately turned over and dismounted, relying on their horses to fight back. One by one, the Minnie bullets whizzed away, killing twenty or thirty fanatics as well.
"They didn't chase them from the direction of the Flaming Mountain......"
Rosalind breathed a sigh of relief. She judged that the muskets used by these white-clothed soldiers were completely different from the muskets used by the white-clothed troops in the direction of the Flaming Mountain. The muskets used by the white-clothed army in the direction of the Flame Mountain were much more powerful than the muskets of the white-clothed army in front of them. These white-clothed soldiers in front of them, they still have a chance to compete. If the white-clothed army from the direction of the Flame Mountain chased after them, they wouldn't even have a chance to fight back.
In fact, Rosalind's judgment is indeed correct. This small group of white-clothed soldiers are all subordinates of the Mastiff Cavalry. They were outflanked from the direction of the Handong Left Guard. Their leader is Gao Jie. They crossed the edge of the Tarim Basin, and there was not even a single figure on the way. The first wave of people they encountered were the Zealots.
In the previous battles, the Mastiff Cavalry and the Zealots did not have the slightest contact. Therefore, the warriors of the Mastiff Cavalry did not know about the existence of fanatics, and they were not familiar with them. As a result, I met it in person, and I didn't judge it. They also thought that the other party was just a bunch of bandits. With the combat effectiveness of the white-clothed army, the bandits will not be taken into account at all. But they didn't expect that they were the most elite fanatics, and their combat effectiveness was much stronger than that of bandits.
"Captain, they're not ordinary people! There's a woman in their ranks! ”
The White Army is not stupid either, and quickly figured out the situation. Although they still do not know the identities of Rosalind and Marthatini, they do not find out that the opponent is Rosalind's guards. However, they have realized that the other party is definitely a big fish. In the Western Regions, only big fish will carry female dependents. They judged that they must have encountered some prince and nobleman in the Western Regions. Since you have encountered it, you must not let it go.
However, the number of the white-clothed army is too small. They had only one squad of troops, only fifty or sixty people. The ratio of them to the enemy is almost one to five. The Moon Gun they were equipped with, compared with the Lumi Gun, did not occupy much advantage in terms of rate of fire. And the effective range of both sides is actually about the same. Therefore, they can only hold back the enemy, but they cannot intercept all of them.
"Get out!"
Rosalind calmly ordered.
She ordered Masatini to be tied to her horse and taken away immediately.
She was keenly aware that she must not waste time here. The sudden appearance of the white-clothed army in front of them was a very dangerous signal. Who knows if there are any other white-clad troops nearby? Who knows if there will be follow-up troops behind this white-clothed army? If there is, when you hear the gunshots, you will definitely outflank you. When the time comes, they'll all be finished. As long as the number of white-clothed troops is equal to theirs, they are finished.
Some of the fanatics rushed forward without fear of death, attracting the firepower of the white-clothed army. They stood up without fear and opened fire on the white-clothed soldiers. And Rosalind and the others, under their cover, galloped quickly to the west. Sure enough, Rosalind's plan succeeded. They successfully broke through the interception of the white-clothed army. That small group of white-clothed soldiers, entangled with those fanatics, could not spare their hands to pay attention to them for the time being.
"Bang bang bang!"
"Bang bang bang!"
The gunfire suddenly became unusually violent, as if he had gone crazy.
The battle between the white-clothed army and the remaining fanatics suddenly reached its white-hot state.
After the most intense gunfire, the battle suddenly ended. All the fanatics who were responsible for covering the retreat of Rosalind and the others were all killed. The white-clothed army cleaned up the battlefield and counted the casualties, and found that eighteen people were killed and twenty-eight wounded. At the scene, about fifty bodies of fanatics were left, and more than thirty fine horses.
"Who are they? How is it so powerful? A white-clothed soldier asked suspiciously.
"They must not be ordinary people. Immediately send someone to inform our follow-up troops, and say that there is a big fish that has passed in the direction of the loss of fork force. "In the fierce battle, the squad leader of the white-clothed army was also seriously wounded and dying. However, before the sacrifice, he sent the most important message. Rosalind and the others suddenly had nothing to hide.
Gao Jie led the mastiff cavalry to outflank from the direction of the left guard of Handong this time, and the goal of the convergence of the various troops was precisely the loss of the fork force. And Rosalind and others are also going in the direction of the loss of fork force. If she doesn't change her direction, she will definitely encounter the white-clothed army. With the strong military strength of the mastiff cavalry, there is basically no possibility for them to slip through the net.
…… Dark night, waning moon, poplar, desert, smoky wind.
The white army detachment in pursuit stopped for a short rest.
It is estimated that it was very sunburned during the day, and after nightfall, the wind was still hot. The hot wind blows on the person's body, and there is a very uncomfortable feeling. Some of the white-clothed soldiers felt a little uncomfortable. Others don't feel happy either. Only Sawanna seemed very energetic. She didn't feel the hot air blowing in her face at all, and she didn't care. The only thing she cares about is when she can catch up with Mathatini.
Huyan Aobo came to the front of Sawanna and said with some confusion: "Your Royal Highness, we are chasing in the direction of the loss of fork force." Over there, that's the direction of Turpan. Should we chase in the direction of Turpan? In case they ......"
Sawana shook her head and said with great ambition: "They won't go back to Turpan,"
Huyan Aobo said with some worry: "But Zhang Nai's team has already gone straight to Turpan. In case Mashatini is in Turpan City......"
Sawanna said confidently: "Mashatini is definitely not in Turpan City. ”
Huyan Aobo was still a little worried and said: "However, let's chase down all the way, and we are getting farther and farther away from the big army!" Our number is too small, if we are too far away from the main army, in case of danger, we will not even have a chance to call for help! ”
Sawanna said calmly: "Huyan, you still don't understand. Neither of them is an easy person to deal with. Although Martha Tini was a little nervous, she seemed to have been stimulated in some way. However, her intuition is still very sensitive. She was keenly aware of the danger. Coupled with the cautious, suspicious Rosalind, we want to catch them all at once, which is unlikely. At least, it is not possible until the fork force is lost. ”
Huyan Aobo said with some hesitation: "However, the fork force is lost, and it is far away from Turpan." The army of the chief committee member must stay in Turpan City for a while before it can continue to advance. Let's chase it all the way like this, it's dangerous! ”
Sawanna said in a deep voice: "If you don't enter the tiger's den, you will get the tiger!" ”
She raised her voice and shouted sternly, "All up, keep going!" ”
