Wilderness Redemption Tour
Chapter 344 Threat Failure
Although Eagle's group was masked, the patrol commander could tell their identities at a glance by the weapons they used. When it was Dutch's turn, he was a little unsure because Dutch's clothes and weapons did not fit in with the group of Indians.
"Who are you?" the patrol commander asked Dutch.
"A concerned citizen," Dutch replied.
The other party smiled contemptuously, "Haha, is that so?"
While the two were talking, another voice came from the northwest of the valley: "Quick! They were ambushed!"
When he found out that there were people behind the patrol team below, Feiying panicked instantly and asked Dutch for help: "What should we do now?"
"Retreat, Dutch. The ambush has failed." John suggested to Dutch.
"No, no, no, don't be in a hurry." Dutch stopped everyone and said, "Don't leave yet. I think we still have a chance."
In the valley, the morale of the besieged patrol team increased after hearing the voices of their companions behind them. The patrol commander ordered his men resolutely: "Prepare to fire!"
"Soldiers, think carefully. Once we open fire, we will both fight to the death..." Dutch wanted to use the advantage of terrain to intimidate the soldiers below, but unexpectedly, a soldier below pulled the trigger prematurely because of nervousness when he was halfway through his words.
When the gunshots rang out, Dutch, John Lin Yan, Flying Eagle and his men all shrank their necks reflexively. After reacting, Dutch angrily shouted at them, "You were the ones who fired first, soldiers!" and then took the lead in counterattacking.
When the others saw Dutch opening fire, they also attacked the soldiers below. Seeing this, Lin Yan knew that there was no possibility of a peaceful solution between the two sides, so he also joined the battle.
Looking at the two groups of people fighting, Feiying, the initiator of this incident, was stunned. He did not intend to kill these soldiers, but to scare them, confiscate their weapons, and embarrass them. When he found out that these soldiers had reinforcements, his first thought was to retreat, but everything was changed by a stray bullet.
By the time Feiying came to his senses, the soldiers below in the valley had already started to suffer casualties. It was obviously too late to persuade everyone to stop. In this situation, killing one soldier would have the same result as killing a team of soldiers.
Dutch had instigated the counterattack. Feiying was too embarrassed to give orders to an outsider, so he could only shoot arrows while venting his anger at his men around him: "I brought you up, can you listen to my instructions next time!"
Dutch heard this and tried to smooth things over: "They were the ones who shot first, kid. The battlefield changes rapidly. If we didn't fight back immediately, we would be the ones getting shot now."
Feiying had no intention of discussing this matter with Dutch. He glared at his men around him and stopped talking.
The patrol team in the valley and the reinforcements in the rear numbered no more than a dozen people. Even if Feiying and his group did not take action, it would not take long for Lin Yan, Dachi and John to kill these people given their geographical advantage. Therefore, the battle ended quickly.
After the battle, Feiying stood up and ordered his men in a bad mood: "Everyone listen, take as much as you can, and then retreat immediately."
Although this battle was not Feiying's original intention, he didn't think about it anymore since it had already happened. It was their national tradition to confiscate the enemy's spoils, and it was even more important at the moment when tribal resources were scarce. So after the battle, the first thing he thought about was not retreating, but cleaning up the battlefield.
Seeing this group of natives who value money over their lives, John stamped his feet anxiously. "Hurry up, this place is not far from the enemy's base camp. It will be bad if they react."
Flying Eagle also listened to John's advice and added, "Hurry up and take away their weapons and horses."
"Let's go down and take a look." Dutch invited Lin Yan and John, "Those people may have information that can help our friends."
"How is this possible..." John muttered to himself, but still followed Dutch downstairs.
While searching for the spoils, Lin Yan heard someone talking to the person next to him: "I have a bad feeling. Before we came here, Feiying said that no one would die..."
The other party replied: "Yes, if Colonel Favors knew it was us who did it, then we..."
Dutch interrupted the conversation at the right time. "Let it be. We have already tried to negotiate with them. They were the first to attack, and we were forced to fight back."
Seeing that the search was almost complete, Feiying waved to the people in the distance and said, "Come back, it's time for us to leave."
Just when everyone was preparing to retreat, they heard a "bang" and a shell flying from the north suddenly exploded next to a young Indian man. The powerful impact not only created a big hole in the ground where it landed, but also directly broke the young man's legs. His body flew three meters away from the explosion point and fell heavily to the ground like a rag bag, and he was silent instantly.
"Woo..." A long trumpet sound came from the direction where the shell came from. The remaining people did not bother to check whether the wounded man was alive or not, and ran to the north hillside to check the situation.
After reaching the top of the hill, Lin Yan discovered that along with the sound of the horn, a group of soldiers were rushing towards him from a distance. At the back of these people, there stood a cannon. It must have been the cannon that fired the shell just now.
"Hurry up and beat them back!" Feiying didn't expect the enemy's reinforcements to appear so soon, and seemed a little panicked.
Daqi saw the reinforcements and launched an attack without saying a word. Seeing that the opposite artillery was loading the second shell, Lin Yan estimated the distance of the opposite artilleryman, and then silently took out the sniper rifle.
In Lin Yan's mind, the biggest threat to everyone at this moment was not the ordinary soldiers who were about to rush over, but the cannon that was the farthest away from them. He had just seen the power of this cannon, and if it fired again, who knows how many more people on his side would die.
He activated the Eye of Death and fired two shots to kill the two soldiers operating the cannon. Then Lin Yan switched back to his revolver and together with the others killed the ordinary soldiers who had rushed nearby.
In this battle, Feiying's men suffered a small number of casualties. After the battle, Feiying no longer cared about cleaning up the battlefield. He ordered his men to take the dead and wounded and retreat immediately.
Before leaving, Feiying seemed to have discovered something and anxiously asked his people: "Where is Petah? Has anyone seen Petah? Was he killed?"
