Chapter 1775
is like a textbook.
Upon hearing the barking, Wang An and the other three, who had been lying there half asleep, were suddenly jolted awake. They grabbed the Type 56 assault rifles that were always beside them, stood up, and looked in the direction the two dogs were staring at.
The two dogs, Xiaobai and Xiaohei, only bark wildly when they spot prey while hunting. They usually just whimper or whine when playing with Wang An. So whenever they bark, it means that a wild animal or a stranger is approaching.
And the calls they make when wild animals approach are different from those made when strangers approach.
When wild beasts approach, their cries become particularly fierce, displaying a strong fighting spirit and an eagerness to immediately engage in battle and tear their opponent to shreds.
However, if a stranger approaches, their cries, though still fierce, lack any fighting spirit. It seems to be more of a warning to the other party not to come closer, while also alerting their owner that someone is coming.
Of course, if they are at home, they will bark when people come over, but the barking will be different. When familiar people come, they will usually bark a few times and then stop, and then go about their business as usual, serving only as a reminder to the family.
When strangers come, they will bark more fiercely until the homeowner comes out of the house and calls them. Otherwise, they will keep barking.
Furthermore, if a stranger makes any move after entering the yard, they will make a biting motion at any time. If the stranger continues to make moves, they are very likely to actually bite.
However, there have been no reports of biting yet. This is mainly because the Wang family always comes out of the house as soon as they hear the dogs barking. Normal people would not provoke a group of dogs that are barking and barking at them when they visit someone else's house.
Of course, because wild dogs are trained more, their intelligence is much higher than that of guard dogs. Under normal circumstances, they will not bite people unless their owners give them the order to bite.
At this moment, the cries of Xiaobai and Xiaohei were clearly telling Wang An and the other three that strangers were coming.
However, there was nothing unusual in the area where Wang An and the other three looked.
However, Wang An and his three companions believed that someone would appear soon.
Wang An narrowed his eyes, his face filled with ruthlessness, and calmly gave the order:
"Xiao Bai and Xiao Hei, stop yelling. Xue Li and Lao Wu, you two go and ambush under the earthen embankment on the east side. Xiao Zhong, you come with me to the haystack on the south side. As long as we see people riding horses, and the horses have branding marks on their legs, kill them all. Damn it, these bastards are still not done."
After saying that, without waiting for Wang Li and the other two to agree, Wang An turned around and ran towards the weeds to the south. Huang Zhong naturally followed Wang An and ran after him.
Mu Xueli and Wang Li, their faces filled with murderous intent, turned and ran towards the dry ditch to the east.
Upon hearing Wang An's words, Xiao Bai and Xiao Hei immediately shut up. Seeing Wang An run away, they happily chased after him.
As soon as he disappeared into the bushes, Wang An gave orders to the lively little white and little black dogs:
"You two stop jumping and lie down."
Upon hearing this, the normally cheerful Xiaobai and Xiaohei immediately began to whimper at Wang An in dissatisfaction. Wang An pressed down on the two dogs' heads and patted them hard to soothe them, and the two dogs finally calmed down.
Although Xiao Hei and Xiao Bai are very intelligent, they are still like children, always enjoying playing and frolicking with Wang An, which sometimes leaves Wang An feeling helpless.
Seeing Wang An raise his gun, Xiao Bai and Xiao Hei stopped their commotion and stared intently at the direction the gun was pointing. They knew very well that once their master raised his gun and aimed, he was about to unleash a massacre—either killing people or some kind of animal.
About a minute later, five people, each leading a horse, walked towards them.
That's right, they came by leading their horses. Because this road is very difficult to travel, Wang An and his three companions also dismounted and led their horses across the road.
Of course, Wang An and his companions deliberately chose this temporary resting place. In Wang An's mind, a road so difficult to traverse that even horseback riding was impossible would not be possible for a normal person to pass by or venture here.
Who would have thought that these five people who came this time would be so persistent?
As these people approached, they kept looking around, clearly searching for something.
When the five men approached, and Wang An noticed the branding marks on the left hind legs of two horses, he immediately wanted to shoot.
Unfortunately, Wang An discovered with dismay that of the five people, only two were completely exposed to his view; the other three were obscured by the horse's head and body, making it extremely difficult for him to fire.
And soon, Wang An discovered a very important problem.
That is, when these 5 people were leading the horse forward, they were helping each other to block the view of their teammates.
To put it bluntly, not only can Wang An only see two people's bodies, but even from Wang Li and Mu Xueli's perspective, they can only see two or at most three people's bodies.
Their seemingly casual movement is actually a rather rigorous tactical formation.
In short, no matter how many angles you shoot at them, you can't kill them all instantly. There will always be a few or even half of them left who can immediately launch a desperate counterattack.
Their combat skills and the cover and cooperation between teammates were textbook examples.
Upon noticing this problem, Wang An couldn't help but clench his grip on the gun handle tightly.
Wang An believed his marksmanship was good enough, even comparable to the sharpshooters and snipers in the army. However, with his line of sight obstructed, Wang An was very worried that after he shot and killed the two men who had shown themselves, the remaining three would immediately launch a desperate counterattack.
At this moment, Wang An and Huang Zhong were hiding in the grass, with no cover to stop the bullets. If the enemy fired a few shots in their direction, they would be very likely to be hit by stray bullets.
Thinking about the consequences of being hit by a bullet, Wang An couldn't help but become quite nervous.
Although Wang An and his three companions had killed quite a few people during their trip into the mountains, those were all done in the form of surprise attacks or when they didn't give the other side a chance to fire a shot.
There has never been a single instance of direct gunfights between the two sides. (End of Chapter)
