Deep in the Hulunbuir grassland, the vast pasture is covered with white snow. Looking around, the sky and the earth seem to be connected into one piece. The white glare is eye-catching. The cold weather of more than 20 degrees below zero is also testing the perseverance of all living creatures in the world.
The Death Arena area is also covered in heavy snow, but the heavy snow can cover up the traces of death, but it cannot cover up the breath of death or the haze that permeates everyone's hearts.
From leaving the Wei family in Taihu Lake, to rushing to the edge of Inner Mongolia, to rounding up with Wang Lei, to going deep into the grassland, and then here. Excluding the month spent on the road, Annie has been in the fighting arena area for two months, and she continues to
The blizzard not only buried the entire arena area, but also interfered with their investigation.
In this environment where the cold wind is raging and the blizzard is attacking, let alone going out, even in the yurt, the whole body is shivering with cold, constantly testing everyone's endurance. Wang Lei and other Mongolian men who grew up in the grasslands may
They could still bear it, but Annie and the others, who had never experienced such a situation, endured great suffering. However, no one cried out about suffering, no one called out, and everyone was struggling to resist the disastrous weather.
For two whole months, the heavy snow in this area almost never stopped, and Anne only carried out investigations during the rare "snow cessation" period. After carrying out the investigation intermittently, she finally got a definite answer today.
The sky is rarely clear today. The investigation team wrapped like rice dumplings is standing in the small town. The city once known as the Town of Sin has lost its vitality. The thick snow has almost buried its outline. So are Annie and others.
I finally found this place with the help of the map.
Standing in the cleared space, Annie carefully studied the frozen 'trampling marks' on the ground. Although the winter climate was bitingly cold, all traces, including corpses and footprints, were well preserved under the ice.
"Traces of the Mongolian scimitar." Wang Lei looked at the wounds of the dozen corpses in front of him and concluded: "It is the oldest Mongolian scimitar. It is large and thick, with a sharp blade, suitable for close combat."
"Saber and mace." The wild wolf's gloomy eyes flashed sharply. After carefully looking through the seven or eight tattered corpses, he also came to the conclusion: "It was a violent chopping under a high-speed charge."
They collected these corpses with difficulty over two months, and restored the scene according to the location and method of where they were found.
The open space where they are now is equivalent to a microcosm of the killing scene in the entire town.
"Look at this horse hoof print." Wang Lei pointed to four relatively clear horse hoof prints and said, "There are wolf heads, eagle heads, and talons. These are traditional totem marks that are often carved on horse hoofs. Mongolia
Many gangs have cavalry, but they only recruit riders with excellent riding skills. They can't carve anything on their hooves, rarely use scimitars, and they don't know how to use maces. These are the oldest and most traditional.
Mongolian cavalry preparation, it is difficult to find now."
Wild Wolf also said: "There are four gangs in the Mongolian gang with a cavalry team of about 500 people, but we know all the circumstances including combat capabilities, use of weapons, etc. We can 100% conclude that this is not
They did it!”
"Observing these horseshoe marks, they look a bit messy, but they contain the use of certain tactics. There is order in the chaos, and there is something tangible in the chaos." Wang Lei pondered for a moment, looked at the wild wolf, and said at the same time: "Our conclusion is
…ancient cavalry troops, numbering around 4,000 people!”
Annie slowly stood up and looked around at the dilapidated scene, her blue eyes unable to conceal their solemnity.
The Cavalry Tribe? Is it really them?
According to records, these tribes have been wandering in the no-man's land of Outer Mongolia since ancient times, following their traditional customs and inheriting ancient civilizations. They almost never have contact with civilized society and almost never step out of the no-man's land.
Why did it suddenly appear here?
Why did they attack the fighting town? And it was a brutal massacre.
It is true that the Iron Cavalry tribe is brutal by nature, and it is true that they are cruel and bloodthirsty. However, most of the reasons are for hunting and maintaining the security of the territory, and they will not massacre other forces without any reason.
This is not bravery, this is madness!
Is it possible that the black list has been finalized, and even this ancient tribe has been implicated? Do they also want to break out of Outer Mongolia and compete with other forces?
Anne recognized the tyrannical fighting power of the cavalry tribe, but she could also say unceremoniously that on the grassland, they were kings and emperors. Once they left the grassland, they would only be slaughtered.
Everyone understands such a simple truth! No matter how stupid the leader of the Iron Cavalry Tribe is, he can understand it!
Unless they are used by others, unless they are stimulated, the cavalry tribe will never rush out of the no-man's land and enter Hulunbuir. What's more... China's border garrison is not a vegetarian. No matter how vast the border is, no matter how sparse the management.
, and would not allow such a large number of cavalry troops to rumble into the Chinese territory and slaughter wantonly.
Look at the corpses not far away. They were all killed with one shot and a headshot! This requires such precise shooting skills and keen eyesight. Annie couldn't help but think of Luo Yin, but that guy has not been there until now.
It's still locked up in the dungeon and won't appear here.
There will be no gunmen in the cavalry tribe, there is no need to doubt this.
There are only two possibilities for this situation, either there are killers who have cleared the armed forces in advance before they act, or they act in coordination with each other.
But all in all, there are definitely shadows of other forces behind the Iron Cavalry Tribe’s foray into the grasslands of Inner Mongolia!
Rather than determining whether the raiding force is a cavalry tribe, Anne is more interested in where these ‘gunmen’ come from! Why do they attack the fighting arena, and who is their real target?
Seeing that Annie was deep in thought, everyone remained silent, quietly waiting for her judgment.
Opinions have been raised and the investigation has concluded. The final decision must be made by Anne.
Wang Lei subconsciously clenched his right fist. There was a pure gold lightning ornament there. It was shining, small and charming. This little thing was accidentally picked up by the wild wolf during the search. It looked good, so he put it in
pocket.
At first, I just thought it was lost by a wealthy businessman. No one wanted it anyway, so I wanted to keep it as a souvenir. Judging from the style and gold content, it was worth a lot. To have this harvest was not in vain after all the hardships.
In the ice and snow.
But for some reason, Wang Lei felt strange from time to time after putting this little thing on his body.
As for what's weird and what it feels like, Wild Wolf can't figure it out, and he can't figure it out either.
Want to throw away this ill-gotten wealth? But you are a little reluctant to do so.
It doesn't matter how much this piece of gold is worth, but the little thing is so beautiful and charming.
Just as Wang Lei was stroking the 'Golden Lightning', Annie finally made a judgment: "Notify the headquarters that the perpetrator of the massacre in the arena is determined to be the Iron Cavalry Tribe, and the subordinate forces cannot be determined for the time being."
"Understood." Team Qianmu responded immediately.
"What about us? Should we continue to pursue it, or leave Hulunbuir." The wild wolf is also interested in this group of 'gunmen', and of course his intention is to pursue it, otherwise it will always feel inappropriate. But Annie is Brother Cheng's fiancée after all.
, being able to endure the severe cold for such a long time is already commendable. If it continues like this, who can bear this responsibility if it becomes unbearable or something unexpected happens?
"Are you okay?" Annie asked them first.
"Huh?" Everyone looked at each other, not understanding the meaning of this sentence for a while.
But the wild wolf's face was full of gloom, but he smiled for the first time: "If sister-in-law has no problem, then we have no problem."
"Then let's continue! Continue tracking in the direction where the horse's hoof prints left." Anne tightened the scarf around her neck and covered her eyes with goggles. After exhaling hot breath for a long time, she called for everyone to get on their horses. Like the wild wolf, if
She won't feel at ease if she can't be completely sure of things. Since she has endured hardships for such a long time, there's no harm in holding on for a few more months!
"Continue? Can sister-in-law bear it?" Wang Lei frowned and grabbed the wild wolf.
"A woman is not inferior to men, she is not a vase, she is not a delicate princess. Only then can she be qualified to be my brother's virtuous wife."
"But the horseshoe marks extend to the outer Mongolia. Once you get there, there will be many unknown factors."
"It's just tracking, not a challenge, so be brave." The wild wolf threw Wang Lei away hard, wrapped up his clothes tightly, mounted his horse and followed.
"You..." Wang Lei had no choice but to order his subordinates: "Notify each unit and follow them immediately after tidying up the yurt. In addition, notify the cavalry unit at the headquarters to continue moving deeper into Inner Mongolia, keep the communication open, and be ready to respond at any time.
preparation."
