Anti-Japanese War: Starting from Yaobai

Chapter 2368 The King of the Grassland!

The western sky suddenly darkened, as if dark clouds suddenly pressed down, covering the vast wilderness in a deep gray-blue.

That was not a sudden change in nature, but the iron hoof of Mongolia, rolling in from the end of the horizon with the force of thunder.

They seemed to have traveled through time from an ancient battlefield, bringing with them an indomitable arrogance and a biting chill.

As the distance shortened, the Mongolian cavalry's formation gradually emerged, with more than a thousand horses stretching across one kilometer.

On their war horses, the Mongolian cavalrymen, dressed in battle robes, riding boots and holding sharp scimitars, came forward with great momentum.

The earth began to tremble slightly. It was the rhythm of thousands of horse hooves beating the earth together, like the roar of ancient war drums, shaking every inch of the earth.

The cavalry leader running in the front was Wu Gan. He was wearing gorgeous armor that symbolized nobility and sitting upright on a tall warhorse, like an inviolable god.

"It's not the same group of cavalry as before. It seems we have entered the territory of another noble."

Duanwu looked through the telescope and murmured.

Before, he was still hoping for a lucky break and was expecting to meet an old acquaintance.

But now it seems that is not the case.

Ma Ping'an also frowned and said, "They have a lot of people. It is estimated that their strength is at least two to three times that of ours, and they are all cavalry. But the most important thing is that we don't know whether they are enemies or friends."

Duanwu said: "Whether it is an enemy or a friend, we must be prepared first. Arrange in the original formation and protect the wounded inside. Also, move the outer convoy about 20 meters outward to prevent them from using weapons such as grenades to attack the wounded."

"Yes!"

Ma Ping'an received the order and quickly passed it on, and the entire convoy began to move. They were like a long snake, surrounding the wounded and the baggage vehicles in the innermost part.

At the same time, the Mongolian cavalry approached. When they were still about one kilometer away from the convoy, they began to split into two groups and surrounded the convoy.

The men beside Wu Gan laughed excitedly and said, "Chief, let's just kill them. Their number is less than we thought."

Wu Gan looked around and said, "Don't worry, this group of Japanese is just a piece of meat on our chopping board. And did you see their defensive formation? These little devils are very resourceful. If we rush towards them head-on, we may not be able to get the upper hand. It's better to wait until we get closer and then find a chance to deal with them. We have more people, so no matter how we fight, we won't suffer any loss, hahaha!"

"Yes, the leader is right."

Wu Gan's men agreed, and after a while, more than a thousand war horses surrounded Duanwu and others in three layers.

At the same time, Wu Gan and others also saw clearly that the people sitting in the enemy's car were not Japanese, but a group of Chinese with guns.

Although Wu Gan did not like other armed forces entering his territory, since the other party was Chinese, there was no need to fight to the death.

Wu Gan rode slowly in front, pointed with his whip and said, "Who has the final say here? Let him come out and answer."

Before Wu Gan finished speaking, Duan Wu spoke up and said with a smile, "It's me."

Wu Gan had also seen Duanwu before. He was a very young man, so he did not think that Duanwu was the leader of the entire army.

The word "chief" was given to the Dragon Boat Festival by Wu Gan according to Mongolian customs.

Wu Gan said with some disappointment: "Doesn't your leader even have the courage to talk to me?"

Ma Ping'an, who was standing by, said with a warm smile: "This leader is indeed the top leader of our entire team. We all listen to him." Wu Gan finally took Duan Wu seriously at this time. But he still pointed at Duan Wu with the whip arrogantly and said: "You are so young and you can lead a team. You are very good. But this does not mean that you can enter and leave my territory at will.

I now ask you two questions: First, who are you? Second, why are you entering my territory? "

Duanwu smiled and said, "Haha, I can answer you. For the first question, we are the Northeast Anti-Japanese Allied Forces, the Chunjiang Guerrillas. For the second question, we are heading north to fight against the Japanese."

"Hahaha! Hahaha!"

Before Duanwu finished speaking, Wugan burst into laughter. He laughed for a while before stopping and said, "Go north to fight against the Japanese? If you want to fight against the Japanese, why don't you go through the Japanese-occupied area, but enter my territory instead? You were chased by the devils and fled to me, right?"

Duanwu sneered and said, "Have you ever seen any escaped troops with such sophisticated equipment?"

As he spoke, Duanwu waved his hand, and the machine gunners hidden in the carriage stood up and pointed their guns at Wu Gan and others.

Wu Gan's face suddenly changed. He had seen the Japanese machine guns before, and his tribe had also seized two of them. This thing could wipe out a large area with one sweep, and his cavalry had suffered losses from it before.

But Wu Gan was the leader of a tribe after all, and he was very courageous. Facing the black muzzles of guns, he showed no fear.

He asked back: "You don't think you can get out of my territory safely with just these few machine guns, do you?"

At this time, Wu Gan had not yet finished speaking when all the Mongolian cavalrymen pointed their guns and aimed at everyone on the car.

They had more than 1,300 people, but except for the wounded, Duanwu and his men had only more than 200 people who could fight.

But at this time, the guerrilla fighters, including Ma Hu and others, showed no fear and drew their guns one after another.

Duanwu has been staring at Wu Gan, but his men dared to shoot. He guaranteed that Wu Gan would be the first to die.

Wu Gan also felt Duanwu's murderous intent and slowly reached for the gun at his waist.

Duanwu sneered and said, "It's useless. If your people dare to move, you will be the first to die."

Wu Gan stopped reaching for the gun and sneered, "Are you threatening me?"

Duanwu spread his hands and said, "This is not a threat, it's a warning. How about we try it first? If I take action, your men won't be able to stop me."

Wu Gan narrowed his eyes slightly, because it was the first time that someone dared to threaten him on the grassland.

He, Wu Gan, not only owns a vast territory, but also commands elite cavalry far superior to his peers, becoming a legendary figure known to everyone on this grassland.

Under his rule, the wind on the grassland was full of awe, and all things bowed to him.

So on the eastern grassland, he is the king here, and no one will or dares to threaten him.

But today, a young man who came from nowhere dared to threaten him. He wanted to see what methods the other party had.

Wu Gan pointed at Duan Wu with the tip of his whip and said, "We don't need guns. If you can get close to me and touch the corner of my clothes, I will lend you a way out. How about that?"

Duanwu smiled slightly: "Okay, but I need one more thing, and I hope the leader can give it to me as well!"
