Horse Face
There was a mountain valley about a hundred kilometers away from Ji Yun's base. The snow on the top of the mountain had not melted yet. The environment here was relatively good. At the foot of the mountain, there were some shacks for cattle and sheep raised by horse bandits. There was also a relatively large stable with at least three to four thousand horses inside, and all of them were good warhorses. In the stable, not far ahead, there were a few shacks. Those were the observation posts left behind by the horse bandits who lived in the col.
At this time, the weather was still relatively cold. Most of the horse bandits on the mountain were hiding there and would not take the initiative to go out. Moreover, it would snow from time to time. It was also more troublesome to go out.
In this era, the weather was still very demanding when it came to combat. Generally, they would choose to fight in better weather. Unless there were some special reasons, very few people would march in heavy rain or snowy weather. This was because not only would it consume a large amount of soldiers 'physical strength, but it was also very easy to cause some non-combat casualties. Unless the weaker side launched some surprise attacks when their combat strength was at a disadvantage.
In such cold weather, cats were usually chosen for winter. However, the village had been lively recently, which was very unusual.
Horse Face. This guy was just like his name. He had a long face like a horse. Ever since Brigadier Yang from the provincial capital sent people here. Long Face had been thinking about whether he should go and kill him, but he always thought that Brigade Commander Yang didn't have any good intentions. Although Brigade Commander Yang was being so polite to him, if it weren't for the 2,000 horse bandits in Long Face's hands, Brigade Commander Yang would have attacked him long ago.
Even if that place really had a lot of money as they said, they would still need to be alive to take it. Long Face had been roaming the Chahar steppe for so many years. How could he be the kind of person who would give up his life for a small profit? Therefore, when the weather was very cold, the horse-faced man was very excited. He still sent out some of his brothers to investigate first. If there were no problems, the horse-faced man would make a move.
Just today, the guys who were sent out to scout the area came back, but he felt that it was a little troublesome now. He looked at the injured guys lying below.
"Are you saying that you were discovered when you were scouting the place?”The horse-faced man felt a little incredulous. However, they were all old men who had been horse bandits for more than ten years. Ever since Horse Face started this business, these guys had been following Horse Face and had never made any mistakes. But this time, they were actually caught. There were actually two of them who did not even manage to escape!
"Chief, we really didn't lie. Those guys in that town raise a group of wolfdogs. They were even fiercer than wolves. In addition, when we entered the town, in order not to attract the attention of those guys, we put down all the weapons in our hands. Who would have thought that they would be seen through by that group of people? They released the wolfhound to bite people. Those two brothers who didn't come back were caught by the wolfhound. Chief, brother, I've been with you for more than ten years, right? You must avenge us!" The next lackey shouted at the top of his lungs.
Horse-Face was annoyed. He roared, "Alright, stop arguing. Have you completed the task I asked you to do? How many soldiers are there in that place? Tell me everything you've found. After that, we'll understand this matter again.”
Horse-Face's subordinates did not dare to delay any longer. They immediately stopped crying and described what they had seen and heard that day."There are about 50,000 to 60,000 people in the town. Although the population is not large, the people there are indeed richer. As for the soldiers…We circled around the town and saw about 700 to 800 people. Most of them were armed with rifles, and there were not many cavalrymen among them. The people guarding the town should be ordinary civilian groups. They shouldn't be too difficult to deal with!”
In fact, these minions were right. However, that town was separated from the military camp. The military camp was not in the town. As for the base, it was even more well-hidden. Not to mention these shrimp soldiers and crab generals who have not received formal training, even if you really sent 007 there, it might not be of much use.
Long Face heard that the town near Ji Yun Base had a weak defense and was very rich. Horse-Face's eyes lit up. It had been a tough winter. After all, he couldn't go out often during winter. She had been cooped up in the mountain stronghold all day long, and her entire body was about to grow hair.
After listening to his subordinate's description of the scene, Long Face decided not to hesitate anymore. Such a fat piece of meat. His defense was so weak. If he didn't eat it, even the heavens wouldn't forgive him. Therefore, the horse-faced man successfully convinced himself.
In the end, Horse-Face decided to wait a few days for the snow at the foot of the mountain to melt before bringing his brothers to do something big.
"Alright, brothers, train your skills well during this period of time. I'll bring you guys to eat and drink.”The horse-faced man gave his speech passionately. The horse bandits below cheered cooperatively. However, what they did not expect was that what greeted them was not wine and women, but machine guns that fired bullets.
At this moment, two people crept up from the foot of the mountain. The two of them looked very similar.
They were all clones and used the same pair of genes, so they looked very similar. The two of them were lying down not far from the hall and looking over with a pair of binoculars.
The eldest of these two scouts was called Li Long. The second was called Li Hu. He was a special clone who was very talented in reconnaissance. This time, it was the two of them who led the team to investigate. Originally, it was fine to keep an eye on this place after finding the nest of the horse bandits. However, the two brothers were also bold and had low vigilance when they saw this group of people in the mountain stronghold. He actually sneaked up the mountain, planning to take a closer look at these guys.
The two of them happened to discover the scouts of the horse bandits who had escaped from the town yesterday. They knew that this was the place they were looking for.
Looking at the excited crowd inside, Old…Li Hu felt a little confused and asked his brother Li Long,""Big brother, what do you think those guys on the mountain are doing? They were so excited that it was as if they had taken medicine.”Li Long glanced at it and said in a bad mood,"What else could it be? It's just that he has plans to rob a place.”Li Long was very clear about the nature of these mountain bandits.
"Then where do you think they're going to rob?" Li Hu asked again. Those guys up there were the ones who sneakily went to our place two days ago and were almost beaten to death. Why are they here? Don't tell me these guys are after us?”Li Hu didn't expect himself to reveal the truth.
Li Long listened to Li Hu's words and combined them with the orders from above. Thinking about it, it was really possible that these guys were after the town.
"Hai, that's really possible. However, with their current strength, they would be able to do so. If we go, we'll just be courting death. Alright, let's go down the mountain and leave two armored vehicles behind. He told them to keep an eye on these guys. If the guys above made any movements, he would send an armored vehicle back to report immediately. The rest of them would continue to hold on. These guys, the horses couldn't catch up to the armored vehicles anyway, so there was nothing to be afraid of.”After saying this, Li Long brought Li Hu down the mountain. He planned to go back first and let the town make preparations. When the time came, he would kill all these guys. To avoid any more trouble.
(There's one more chapter that I might not be able to make it today. It'll probably only be posted after midnight.)）
