Chapter 63: Horsemanship
Wang Ye and Wei Dayong didn't know they had been demoted.
At this moment, the two of them were lying quietly in the dry grass, and because their hats were full of dry grass, they blended perfectly with the surrounding environment.
So unless you look closely, it would be difficult to spot the two people.
But even so, Wang Ye did not dare to be careless at all.
Because their hiding place was less than three kilometers away from the Huting stronghold.
The current Huting stronghold is different from before. Before, there was only one reinforced squadron of Japanese and one reinforced battalion of puppet troops in the Huting stronghold, but now all the Japanese are stationed in the Huting stronghold.
Moreover, the number of the Japanese devils was as high as three to four thousand, and they even had more than a dozen iron turtles!
What’s more important is that there are a large number of cavalry in the Huting stronghold, and if they are discovered, it will be a big trouble.
So you have to be extremely careful. Even turning over has to be done little by little, as if in slow motion. The front of the telescope also has to be camouflaged to prevent the enemy from noticing the reflection.
Through the telescope , you can see very clearly.
The Huting stronghold was transformed into a bustling construction site, with hundreds of laborers busy repairing fortifications.
Wang Ye held up a telescope and observed carefully while saying, "Looking at the attitude of the Japanese, do they really not intend to abandon the Huting stronghold and continue to send troops to garrison it?"
Wei Dayong's mind was not on the Huting stronghold.
"Northwest Wolf, how do you think the boss will deal with you?"
Wang Ye said: "How would I know that? You have to ask the boss."
Wei Dayong said: "How about I go and tell the boss? Just say that it was me who buried the Japanese prisoners alive, and it has nothing to do with you."
"You'd better forget about it. Just because you say it's okay, does it mean it's okay? Will the boss listen to you?" Wang Ye sneered, "Besides, do you think you can escape? You will still be dealt with."
"I'm fine." Wei Dayong said anxiously, "But you can't."
"It's nothing." Wang Ye said nonchalantly, "It's just a punishment."
Wang Ye really doesn't care. It's worth it to exchange a punishment for a legendary equestrian skill.
Moreover, he also realized that this damn system had no intention of letting him get promoted. The company rank might be the ceiling, and becoming a regimental commander or a brigade commander was just wishful thinking.
At worst, we can just consider this as a reverse benefit for time travelers.
When Wei Dayong was about to say something else, Wang Ye stopped him and said, "Shut up, the Japanese cavalry are coming!"
Wei Dayong fell silent upon hearing this. He turned his head and saw a group of Japanese cavalry coming towards them in a swagger from the foot of the hill where they were hiding.
There were only seven cavalrymen in this team.
It was probably the patrol cavalry sent from the Huting stronghold.
An idea suddenly came to Wang Ye's mind.
Ever since he acquired the legendary horsemanship, he hasn’t had a chance to show off his skills?
It's a good opportunity to try out my skills on this team of patrol cavalry from the Japanese and see how awesome their legendary horsemanship is.
At that moment, Wang Ye made a gesture to Wei Dayong, and the two of them quietly climbed down the back of the mountain backwards, and then ran a few kilometers away under the cover of vegetation and gullies.
There is a very hidden low-lying area here.
This is the hidden flaw of Wei Dayong and Wang Ye's war horses.
And Wang Xikui stayed here to serve as a horse stake for the two of them.
As for the other members of the Wolf Warrior Squad, they were hiding further away.
Seeing Wang Ye and the other man, Wang Xikui sat up from the grass.
"Northwest Wolf, Big Bad Wolf, you are back? How is the situation?"
Wang Ye didn't say a word and directly ordered: "Big Bad Wolf, Black Wolf No. 1, the two of you immediately rush to the No. 1 assembly point to meet up with the other team members."
"Northwest Wolf, what about you?"
Wei Dayong and Wang Xikui asked at the same time.
Wang Ye said, "I'll go to the highway and take a look."
Wei Dayong said, "I'll go with you so I can take care of you."
"No need." Wang Ye said, "You are nothing to take care of. You are just a burden."
Wei Dayong's face darkened and he dared not say another word, because with his current horsemanship, he would be a burden if he encountered the Japanese cavalry and would be of no help to Wang Ye at all.
After Wang Ye finished speaking, he walked to his warhorse.
After shouting "Wolf King", the warhorse that was originally lying in the grass climbed up.
The code name Wolf King finally belonged to Wang Ye's warhorse, a five-year-old male Oriental horse.
It is said that dogs understand human nature, but in fact, war horses have higher IQs than dogs. For example, Wang Ye’s war horse, Wolf King, only took a ride for a while after being captured, and the relationship between man and horse was already established.
It's as if there is some kind of connection between them.
Of course, so far this has been limited to a few simple instructions.
Wang Ye jumped on his horse and said to Wei Dayong and Wang Xikui, "Hurry up and go!"
After saying this and gently urging, the Wolf King snorted softly, then carried Wang Ye out of the depression, turned a big corner and headed towards the Japanese patrol cavalry.
…
The sudden appearance of the Eighth Route Army cavalry gave the seven Japanese cavalrymen a fright.
However, when they found out that there was only one cavalryman of the Eighth Route Army, they became excited again. They thought Wang Ye was a lost messenger of the Eighth Route Army.
"Surround him, don't let him get away!"
The Japanese sergeant leading the team grinned.
"We must get the letter from him."
The seven Japanese cavalrymen immediately dispersed and surrounded them in a fan shape.
Wang Ye also pretended to be a messenger who accidentally encountered the Japanese. When he found that he could not run away, he simply did not run away. Instead, he drew his saber in despair, ready to fight a desperate battle with the Japanese cavalry.
"Yoshi!" The Japanese cavalry were overjoyed when they saw this.
The Eighth Route Army cavalry did not run away, which was exactly what they wanted.
"Attack!" The Japanese sergeant raised his sword and shouted.
The seven Japanese cavalrymen raised their swords and charged forward.
The Japanese cavalry are really stupid. They prefer using knives rather than guns.
Wang Ye was completely relieved upon seeing this, and gently urged the Wolf King to come forward.
In a blink of an eye, Wang Ye had come into contact with the Japanese cavalry. At the critical moment, Wang Ye's body tilted, and a flash of cold light flashed across his neck almost like lightning.
At the same time, Wang Ye's saber also moved along.
Blood splattered, and the waist of the Japanese cavalryman who was galloping past Wang Ye's right was cut open.
Wang Ye did not exert much force when he swung the sword, but the combined speed of the horses of both sides still gave the sword a strong kinetic energy, so it cut most of the waist of the Japanese cavalryman in one go.
After running forward a few steps, the Japanese cavalry fell off their horses.
As he fell off the horse, his intestines and internal organs flowed out from the gap and onto the ground.
Wang Ye ran forward for dozens of steps before he reined in the wolf king, then turned around.
The remaining six Japanese cavalrymen also reined in their horses and turned around, staring at him viciously.
However, compared with just now, the expressions of the Japanese cavalry were obviously much more solemn. Through the previous round of fighting, they have realized that Wang Ye is a master of equestrian stabbing.
Wang Ye was also filled with joy; the legendary equestrianism was indeed worthy of its name.
The fight just now seemed dangerous, but only he himself knew that it was actually very easy.
How to describe this feeling? If I had to use a metaphor, it was like an adult beating a child. These Japanese cavalry were no match for him.
To put it bluntly, the Japanese cavalry's horsemanship can only bully the Eighth Route Army.
If you encounter real cavalry, such as the Mongolian cavalry who live on horseback, you are simply offering food.
In the Battle of Nomonhan, more than 3,000 Japanese cavalry were surrounded by more than 2,000 Mongolian cavalry. In the end, not even a single person who reported the news escaped, and they were completely wiped out.
Wang Ye's horsemanship at this time was even better than that of the Mongolian cavalry.
So the result is predictable, that is, adults beating children. What’s the use of having more children?
After a round of testing, Wang Ye suddenly gained confidence and raised his saber to charge again.
The Japanese cavalry's horsemanship was not as good as Wang Ye's, but their fighting spirit was still commendable. When they saw Wang Ye launching the second charge, they followed suit without hesitation.
Once again, they passed each other and another Japanese cavalryman fell off his horse.
And the wounds were exactly the same, both were cut in the waist.
Looking at the scene of the Japanese soldier lying on the ground with his intestines spilling out, Wang Ye felt an indescribable sense of pleasure.
Now, the remaining five Japanese cavalrymen finally felt fear. Facing an impossible to defeat opponent, no one could remain indifferent.
"Retreat !" The sergeant leading the team gave the order decisively.
The remaining five Japanese cavalrymen retreated one after another.
But Wang Ye didn't want to let them go at this time.
Wang Ye immediately urged the Wolf King to catch up without hesitation.
Wang Ye also did not move his gun, because the cavalry rifle was not as useful as the saber in close combat.
It’s different with the blessing of legendary equestrianism. The cooperation between man and horse is more tacit and the speed is faster.
Soon, Wang Ye was in close pursuit of the Japanese cavalry. With a flash of cold light, another Japanese cavalryman fell under Wang Ye's saber.
Now, there were only four Japanese cavalrymen left.
The Japanese sergeant realized that this was not going to work and that they were all killed before they could even return to the Huting stronghold.
At the order, the Japanese sergeant and another cavalryman slowed down their horses slightly, turned around and tried to intercept Wang Ye, giving the other two cavalrymen a chance to escape back to the Huting stronghold to report the news.
However, Wang Ye had gone completely crazy at this time.
With one blow to the left and one to the right, the two devils fell off their horses.
A moment later, another knife strike left only one Japanese cavalryman left.
However, the last Japanese cavalryman finally distanced himself and took out the alarm.
It was a bit difficult for him to get the cavalry rifle behind the saddle to fire a warning shot, but fortunately, he had a hand-cranked alarm hidden in his bag.
