Chapter 1637 Blood on Horseback(2/3)

Seeing this, everyone speeded up and rushed into the river one after another, and then rushed to the other bank as fast as possible.

They crossed the Tangwang River without any danger, but everyone did not dare to relax at all. Instead, they urged their animals to run faster.

They ran non-stop for more than half an hour, during which they not only climbed over two mountain ridges, but also passed through a wasteland with all the trees cut down and a logging road.

Fortunately, until they ran into the woods again, they did not alert the Japanese and puppet troops stationed in the wooden camp.

After passing this difficulty without any danger, Unakan did not stop. Instead, he led them to stop and go, fast and slow, until the sky was getting brighter, until all the animals were exhausted.

Breathing heavily, he stopped on the top of a mountain ridge.

"Just rest here"

Unakan breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It should be safe this far away. There are more and more Japanese behind us. We can only travel at night."

"What is this place?"

Wei Ran dismounted and asked in a low voice, "How far are we still?"

"This place is called Lujiaogou. To the east is the Hegang Coal Mine occupied by the Japanese."

Unakan explained in a low voice, "This place is still two hundred miles away from Heilongjiang. It will take at least three days to walk to get there."

"If we travel at night, we won't be able to walk this far in three days." Zhao Jinyu said worriedly.

"Even if the whip is broken, you still have to rush there early."

Hu Ba pointed out that Yong Wen and Yong Wu had given everyone a lunch box containing stewed pork and steamed pancakes. These lunch boxes had been roasting beside the brazier along the way.

After filling their stomachs in silence, everyone was still resting around the brazier. While Boss Qiu and others were keeping watch, they also took over the work of serving the animals, but they didn't even notice Wei, who was almost wrapped in a blanket.

Ranzheng endured his exhaustion and pressed the shutter towards them.

After taking the photo, Wei Ran put away the camera and rubbed his sore thighs. He leaned against Zhao Jinyu and closed his eyes. Soon he began to snore.

When I woke up again, the sky was already bright, and the setting sun could be seen in the distance that had not been completely blocked by the rolling mountains.

After a few bites of food, everyone rode horses and sledges and started running again.

"We have to run along the road for more than ten miles ahead, so be alert." Unakan whispered, then shouted to the reindeer and started running.

With Unakan's reminder, everyone who set off again became more vigilant.

After running forward with the reindeer sleigh for less than ten minutes, a valley that was flat and spacious enough and extended all the way to the northeast appeared at the foot of the mountain.

"There are a few empty villages ahead."

Unakan explained while controlling the sledge, "You can run along this valley for twenty miles, which is much faster than climbing over the mountain."

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "You won't meet the Japanese, will you?" Zhao Jinyu asked while lying on the horse.

"Probably not"

Unakan thought for a while and then added, "I didn't encounter it when I walked here last time. There are no sledge marks on the snow, so I shouldn't encounter it."

"If we really meet, we'll go into the forest," Hu Bazhi also said.

"There are a lot of Japanese around here, so don't wait until they block you." Unakan warned uneasily.

"Brother Wei, let's run quickly to explore the road?" Zhao Jinyu suggested.

"Let's go" Wei Ran responded, urging the biting horse under his butt to run faster.

With the last hint of skylight, Wei Ran, Zhao Jinyu and the three sledges behind them opened a distance of almost four to five hundred meters.

They ran along this valley for more than an hour without incident. However, as the sky became darker and darker and the setting sun was completely blocked by the mountain ridges, something suddenly appeared directly in front of them.

A fleet of sledges!

"Uu——!"

Wei Ran and Zhao Jinyu reined in their horses and stopped almost at the same time, looking warily at the sledge convoy.

"Is there a mirror?" Wei Ran had already pulled out the carbine from his gun bag as he spoke.

"No"

Zhao Jinyu shook his head, also pulled out a carbine found in the bandit's den, and looked at the slowly approaching sledge convoy with lanterns hanging from a distance.

"No, it seems they are really Japanese!" Wei Ran was the first to notice the abnormality, "Quickly leave!"

Before they finished speaking, the two of them had already turned their horses and ran towards the direction they came from. At this time, they could only hope that the other side did not notice them.

After riding back to the sledge, Wei Ran briefly described the situation, Unakan immediately led them into another adjacent valley, and ran along this valley for less than ten minutes.

Within minutes, he immediately got into the forest, climbed up a ridge and looked nervously at the valley in the distance.

Unfortunately, they soon noticed that the oncoming sledge convoy stopped in the direction they turned, followed closely by one after another with kerosene lamps hanging on their sledges.

The imprint caught up!

"Run away," Hu Bazhi said with a helpless sigh, "It seems like some of the people who won't be windy or snowy tonight will run away."

"Follow closely"

Before Unakan finished speaking, he had already shaken the reins, shouted at the reindeer and started running in the dark again.

Following closely behind, Hu Bazhi also shouted to the mule, pulling him, Yongwu and Xiaosi'er on the sledge to follow.

"Let's explore the way ahead," Zhao Jinyu whispered uneasily.

"Walk"

Wei Ran once again responded to the other party's suggestion and urged his horse to run ahead of the most dangerous situation again.

However, when they climbed up a mountain ridge again, they found in despair that more and more sledges were chasing their sledges behind them. Those sledges with lanterns hanging on them were extremely conspicuous in the night.

The arrogance!

They didn't dare to fight back, let alone stay. Everyone risked their lives to urge the animals to continue running. But this time, there were actually people riding horses among the pursuers. Although they might not be able to catch up with Wei Ran and others who were also riding horses.

Zhao Jinyu can easily catch up with those two mule sledges!

"Xiao Si'er! Kill him!"

Boss Qiu, who was driving the sledge truck running behind, made his own arrangements without waiting for Hu Ba's instructions.

Before Wei Ran and others could even say whether to agree or refuse, Xiao Si'er, who was sitting on the sledge, had already neatly picked up the Sanba Gai he had been holding, and without any hesitation, he raised his gun and started shooting!

"Bang!"

Accompanied by a clear gunshot that cut through the silence, the approaching horse lantern behind him shattered. The Japanese horse with the lantern hanging on it also fell to the ground because the bullet had penetrated into its body. By the way,

The man on horseback was crushed to death.

But at this time, no one had time to marvel at Xiao Si'er's amazing accuracy, and no one blamed him for shooting impulsively.

Everyone knew that without the shot just now, it would be a matter of time before the Japs caught up with them. But at the same time, they also knew better that because of the shot just now, the Japs who were originally just suspicious behind them would definitely stick to them like dog-skin plaster!

What's even worse is that the beam in front is so close that they have just climbed up, and the remaining horseback riders among the Japanese pursuers behind them have already started to climb up!

Obviously, maybe when they rush down from this mountain ridge, they will be overtaken by the Japanese behind them!

Although no one pointed this out, all the people driving and riding subconsciously began to beat the animals hard.

"Captain Hu!"

At this moment, Boss Qiu suddenly shouted, "Can I ask you a favor?!"

"If you have anything to say, escape first!" Hu Bazhi responded loudly while swinging his whip.

"When I see Captain Zhao, I'll give you a message for the four of us, saying that we're sorry for him and for not taking good care of the wounded!" Boss Qiu shouted to himself.

"What are you going to do, you little brat!" Hu Bazhi asked in fear. He had already realized that something was wrong.

Not only him, Wei Ran and Zhao Jinyu, who also realized that something was wrong, also subconsciously reined in the reins and prepared to stop the horse.

But at this moment, the four Qiu brothers each jumped down from the sledge they were riding on, holding their weapons!

"Help!"

Wei Ran, who was already preparing to ride down, had already controlled the biting horse before he finished speaking, and rushed back with Zhao Jinyu in no particular order.

"Run!" Mr. Qiu yelled at the top of his lungs, "Run!"

"Run away!"

Wei Ran and Zhao Jinyu cursed in unison and rode back to the top of the mountain ridge.

"Brother Wei! We didn't make a good cut at the Shaying River back then. Let's make up for it today!" Zhao Jinyu said, having already pulled out a 38-inch cavalry rifle from the gun bag of his horse.

"Two of us!"

Wei Ran responded loudly, not answering the question.

"become!"

Zhao Jinyu seemed to understand Wei Ran's hint, quickly ran behind a pine tree, raised his gun and pulled the trigger!

After the clear gunshots, a Japanese soldier who had climbed halfway up the hillside on horseback was shot in the chest and fell down.

"Bang!"
