Phi-Fic Chapter 102 Cold Arrow
Chapter 102 Cold Arrow
Li Dong pointed to the northwest, his face full of anxiety.
"I really saw the Northwest Army's signal flares, and the soldiers on patrol also saw them."
The people following Li Dong nodded one after another:
"I saw it too!"
Wu Chi then cleared his throat and said:
"Then send someone to investigate ahead. If it is indeed one of ours asking for help, then wake up the other soldiers, so as to avoid delaying everyone's rest due to a mistake and causing a mockery."
Li Dong agreed and immediately arranged several soldiers to ride fast horses towards the northwest.
Wu Chi returned to the tent, took out a Turkic-style feather arrow from a corner, smiled coldly, and looked vicious.
Chu Zhao and others rode their horses to the desert on the edge of the grassland. According to Chu Shiting's instructions, the camp of Wu Chi's garrison was about thirty or forty miles ahead.
He took out his night vision binoculars and looked to the other side of the desert, but he could see nothing. There was an unusual calmness.
"Dasheng, I sent a letter yesterday and asked Lieutenant General Wu to come here to support us after seeing the signal, but I don't know what went wrong." Chu Zhao said worriedly.
Gu Xi looked at the Turkic cavalry approaching from behind and said solemnly:
"We can't wait any longer. If we fail to annihilate Ruger this time, it will leave a huge hidden danger for Suiye City. He may come back at any time."
A thousand of them might be able to escape, but as long as Ruger is not destroyed, the steppe will not be stable.
Even if the imperial court sends people in the future, it will be difficult to govern.
It is easier to bury mines in the desert than on the grassland. After burying dozens of mines along the edge of the desert, the soldiers continued to run deeper into the desert.
There is a lot of quicksand in this desert, which makes the horses' legs slippery and difficult for the cavalry to move.
After Gu Xi and others escaped two miles, Ruger also chased to the edge of the desert. This time he learned his lesson and did not enter the desert directly. Instead, he went around for hundreds of meters before entering the desert without triggering the landmines.
Seeing that the landmine trick had no effect on Luger, Gu Xi frowned even more.
She quickly exchanged dozens of rocket launchers and Gatling guns from the weapons store, as well as a large amount of ammunition, and distributed them to the special forces team. She also exchanged many grenades for other soldiers.
This time, the reputation points were almost used up.
When facing a large number of enemies, there is no need to aim, just launch an indiscriminate attack.
Although Luger also shot arrows at them, all cold weapons were nothing compared to hot weapons, and a large number of them were quickly killed.
However, facing the fearless Turkic cavalry, their numerical advantage still forced Gu Xi and his group to retreat while fighting.
At this time, more than 10,000 Turkic infantry also caught up.
What shocked Gu Xi and others even more was that Ruger had hidden hundreds of camels on the edge of the desert.
Luger's eyes were bloodshot, and he was ready to use human wave tactics.
Even if the casualties are ten times greater, we must eliminate these one thousand people.
He ordered the Turkic soldiers to use their comrades' bodies as shields to block the bullets and charge towards the thousand men.
All of a sudden, grenades, rocket launchers, and Gatling guns were fired at the same time, the sound was deafening and the earth was shaking.
Luger's method of using corpses to block bullets was very effective. The bullets riddled the corpses with holes, but the speed at which the Turkic soldiers fell slowed down, and they charged forward in wave after wave.
In the desert, the bodies of the Turkic soldiers piled up into small hills, the sand turned red, and the air was filled with a strong smell of blood.
A real mountain of corpses and sea of blood.
Not to mention Gu Xi, even Chu Zhao had never seen such a desperate fighting style, it was simply suicide.
He and Gu Xi were both looking for Ruger, hoping to kill him by sniping him and force the Turkic soldiers to retreat.
But Ruger had fought with Gu Xi and his men many times, so he was not stupid. He was wearing ordinary soldier's clothes and hiding behind the team, so he could not be found at all.
An enemy held up the body of his companion as a meat shield, rushed forward, used the body to block the Gatling gun attack, and then slashed at Liu Erdan who was holding the Gatling gun. Chu Zhao swung out his broadsword, killed the man with one blow, and saved Liu Erdan.
Camels are the kings of the desert. They move very fast in the desert, so fast that Gu Xi and others had no time to retreat.
Although most of the camels were killed in the explosion or were scared and ran around, a small number of them still rushed forward.
More and more Turkic soldiers rushed up like a tide, snatching the weapons from their hands.
Gu Xi had just been desperately exchanging ammunition as if it were free, but now his prestige was gone. In addition, the enemy was approaching, so the advantage of thermal weapons was greatly reduced.
Ruger used more than 10,000 lives to carve out a bloody path.
Gu Xi and his men had no way to retreat and could only engage in a fierce battle with the enemy.
On the other side, Li Dong asked Wu Chi anxiously:
"General Wu, fifteen miles ahead in the desert, Major General and his men are fighting fiercely with the remnants of the Turkic army. I request your permission to support them immediately."
At this time, because they were close, everyone could hear the deafening sound, but the sounds of gunfire were becoming increasingly sparse.
The battle situation is already clear. If Wu Chi continues to find excuses to shirk his responsibilities, it will arouse suspicion.
He finally gave the order:
"Blow the reveille, all troops, listen up, support the Major General at full speed!"
The soldiers woke up in the middle of the night, quickly gathered, and then rushed into the desert.
Many Turkic war horses had been captured before, increasing the number of cavalry in the Northwest Army. Wu Chi ordered two thousand cavalry to lead the charge, followed by 13,000 soldiers.
Although Chu Zhao and his men fought bravely, they were outnumbered after all and were now struggling to hold on.
The crowd fought and retreated, gradually coming together.
They were surrounded and covered with wounds, but their eyes were still full of determination.
Just then, a loud horn sounded from a distance.
Everyone was delighted, the reinforcements had finally arrived!
The Northwest Army, which had been gathering strength for many days, charged into the enemy camp like a tiger descending from the mountains.
Morale was high and the situation of the battle was turned around in an instant.
After killing a circle of Turkic soldiers around him, Gu Xi wiped the blood off his face, stuck his sword into the ground, and held on to his tired body, breathing heavily.
Although she has gold-level fighting skills, chopping people is a physical job and too tiring!
In the firelight, she saw Chu Zhao finally find Ruger, and after a few moves, he captured him alive.
She walked towards Chu Zhao, but at this moment, a cold arrow whizzed through the sky and headed towards Chu Zhao.
"Be careful!" Gu Xi ran over and stood in front of Chu Zhao without thinking.
"Puff!" The arrow pierced Gu Xi's back. Gu Xi's body stiffened and he fell straight to the ground.
"A big victory!!!" Chu Zhao's eyes were bloodshot. He dropped Luger and rushed towards Gu Xi. He hugged her before she fell to the ground.
Another sharp arrow flew through the air and pierced Ruger's chest. Ruger looked at the direction from which the arrow came, a trace of anger flashed in his eyes, but he soon died.
Hearing Chu Zhao's heart-wrenching cry, Gu Xi smiled at him, and as he caught his body, he moved his mind and took Chu Zhao into the space together.
Then his head tilted and he lost consciousness.
