A generation of soldiers begins with Feng Yuxiu traveling through time and space with Xu Sanduo

Chapter 494 The Gray Wolf's Impotent Fury, the Coyote's Resolve

The armed police were all awakened and rushed out with a shout.

"Emergency assembly! The back door's been breached, and you're still asleep?!"

The armed police rushed out with their guns drawn, raising their rifles without hesitation and aiming them at the novice on horseback.

"Put down the gun! Listen to me, absolutely no shooting allowed! Don't hurt the horse! Damn it, they've got some nerve, daring to steal a horse here!"

One of them, head down, hurried up. "It's those three kids from before who came to freeload. I didn't expect they were here to steal the horse!"

boom!
The armed police captain pointed his finger at his nose, "Fuck your mother! No one checked their identities? No one reported to their superiors? Why didn't you send someone to watch them? Huh? You wait, just wait until this is over, you kid!"

He was kicked so hard that he lowered his head and silently stood up, only to be kicked to the ground again.

"Everyone get on the carts and give chase! We must retrieve the horse!"

"Get me on the phone with the Army Special Forces. I want to know what those bastards are up to!"

-

"Drive, drive, drive!"

The hooves clattered as Feng Yuxiu rode his warhorse across the ground.

The rookies behind them followed excitedly, as if they had all become ancient heroes, galloping their horses and cracking their whips.

The Lone Wolf Squad's special forces set up checkpoints and suddenly spotted a large group of warhorses charging towards them.

"Holy crap, is this still modern times? They actually came riding donkeys..."

"That's a warhorse, you idiot."

"Get out of the way, or you'll get kicked by a donkey!!" a soldier shouted.

"That's... Mom... Get out of the way!"

In the darkness, the warhorse neighed, leaped over the makeshift wooden roadblock, and disappeared into the night.

The soldiers at the checkpoint were stunned, staring speechlessly at Feng Yuxiu and his group's retreating figures for a long time.

They even laid spurs and chains to puncture tires on the road, but they never imagined that these rookies would ride their warhorses across it.

What a fuck!

"It's ruined, it's ruined! How can the mobile forces follow them with this method of movement? They just disappear into the mountain trails."

Feng Yuxiu spurred his horse and galloped off, shouting, "Off the road, into the mountains!"

-

Shortly afterward, the special forces team led by Captain Gao arrived.

As soon as he got out of the car, he asked with a surprised expression, "Where did they steal so many horses? Have any local people been raising horses lately?"

“It doesn’t look like an ordinary horse; it seems to be a military horse…” an old sergeant said after a moment of silence.

"Military horses?" Gao Zhongdui was completely taken aback. He had prepared himself for Feng Yuxiu's tactics, but his thoughts still left him somewhat dazed.

No sooner had he finished speaking than a train with its police lights flashing approached from a distance.

The armed police officers who got off the vehicle glared menacingly at Captain Gao and his men, each holding a live-fire rifle.

The high school team leader smirked, "Now... I've lost all face."

He forced a smile and walked over. A captain of the armed police detachment got out of the car and stared at him with an unfriendly expression.

"Well, I'm really sorry, we will definitely handle this seriously. I'm really sorry, these newbies are participating in the assessment for the first time, I didn't expect them to be so bold."

The armed police detachment commander sneered, "Come on, you're talking about taking this seriously? I knew your assessment would be in our area this year, so I specially installed an electric fence. Aren't you guys afraid of being electrocuted? And you even stole my horse!"

Team leader Gao hurriedly comforted him, "Old Wang, I'll treat you to drinks another day. I'll definitely get your horse back and return it to you unharmed."

"What the hell are you drinking? I didn't even go home tonight. I made sure the soldiers emptied all the fuel tanks in the military vehicles, and what do you think you're doing? You guys stole my horse! If any of the military horses are damaged today, Gao Erlengzi, this isn't over yet."

"I'm saying, why don't you just change locations every year? Why do you always have to come to our area? Are you doing this on purpose?"

The high school team leader was scolded by Lao Wang, the captain of the armed police detachment, and didn't dare to talk back.

He really acted unfairly.

These military horses are all precious treasures; any damage to them...

"Calm down, Lao Wang. I'll just deduct it from their wages and compensate you."

The high school team leader quickly went up and grabbed Lao Wang's shoulder.

Old Wang suddenly swung his arm and shouted, "You fucking know how much a horse costs?"

"At worst, I'll deduct it from my unit's tank. If all else fails, I'll sell the tank to compensate you!"

Seeing the serious expression on Gao Zhong's face, Old Wang laughed angrily and pointed at Gao Zhong, "You're still as shameless as ever."

"Come on, let's go for a drink. I'll definitely make it up to you, it's on me! Top-quality Moutai and Zhonghua cigarettes... I'll treat you to this."

Old Wang, with a cold face, glanced at it and asked, "How many bottles?"

"Enough!"

"That's more like it. You guys keep chasing me, keep all safety engaged, and absolutely no firing is allowed!"

"Yes!"

The armed police are just as skilled as the special forces; they are also incredibly tough.

Mada smiled as he watched the retreating figure of the high school team leader, then turned to the Lone Wolf team. "Let's go, keep the chase. These kids are really a headache. Stealing horses in modern warfare... Is he so sure the Armed Police won't fire?"

-

-

Along the mountain river, the horse caravan slowly came to a rest.

He dismounted and stared at the distant riverbank.

The team members dismounted and awaited orders, their eyes filled with excitement.

They even managed to pull off a horse-riding raid on a checkpoint – a thrilling scene usually only seen in movies.

The team members tied the horse to a tree, and Feng Yuxiu took out a card map to study it.

Looking at the map, Chen Pai said, "By water, we can cover nearly 28 kilometers."

Shi Dafan stretched and looked exhausted. "How about we take the waterway? I feel like my butt is being torn in two by horseback riding."

"What do you think?" Feng Yuxiu asked Chen Guotao.

Chen Guotao analyzed, "We only have two options now. One is to continue on horseback, but that would mean traversing an additional 28 kilometers of uninhabited mountainous terrain. The second option is to abandon the horses and go down the waterway, which would save us 28 kilometers."

Geng Jihui immediately spoke up, "If we can think this way, they certainly can too. What if there are mines or something in the water? If we're in the right place at the right time, our entire army could be wiped out."

Qiangzi looked doubtful. "That can't be right. This area is inhabited by mountain people, and most of them still maintain the habit of hunting and fishing. They wouldn't dare to lay mines."

The veteran shook his head. "What wouldn't they dare to do during these past few months of training? Don't forget, this is the testing ground they gave us; they must have laid traps beforehand."

Chen Guotao nodded. "Therefore, we cannot go into the water. If there is an ambush underwater, we will surely die. On land, we can turn around and run away."

-

Deng Zhenhua complained with a long face, "Why do we have to ride horses again? I'd rather walk than ride this thing!"

Shi Dafan chuckled: "It's alright, we'll ride horses, you can walk."

Geng Jihui nodded in agreement: "I agree with what the captain said."

"Stop talking nonsense, let's build a raft!" Feng Yuxiu made the decision immediately.

Deng Zhenhua's eyes lit up, and he asked in surprise, "We're going by water?"

Feng Yuxiu shook his head: "Since they're waiting for us there, let's leave them a raft as a cover!"

Upon hearing this, the team members immediately got up, pulled out their machetes, and went into the woods to find suitable wood.

Chen Guotao suddenly clutched his thigh in pain, and Zhuang Yan frowned as he followed behind.

Deng Zhenhua leaned over and nudged Xiao Zhuang: "What are you thinking about? Thinking about a girlfriend, perhaps?"

Xiao Zhuang shoved him and said irritably, "You're the one who's thinking about a girlfriend!"

Deng Zhenhua watched Xiao Zhuang's retreating figure, shook his head and muttered, "It's over, it's over, I can't live like this anymore! A private dares to look down on me."

As Shi Dafan searched for wood, he chuckled, "Hey, anyone have time to check on our horses? I've been looking at those horses, they're practically blown away by the wind..."

-

On the other side, on the mountain road, Mada was looking at a map, surrounded by a group of special forces soldiers.

He pointed to the map and said, "They only have two routes to take. The first choice is definitely the waterway, which is the route that newbies love to choose every year. The second is to cross uninhabited mountainous areas. If they didn't have horses, they definitely wouldn't go that way, but now that they have horses, it's hard to say."

"Hyena, what do you think?"

Ran Feng, a sergeant from the Tujia ethnic group, licked his lips. Although his Mandarin wasn't fluent, he could still make his meaning clear.

“If they walk into the mountains, I’ll definitely be able to catch them.”

These newbies, no matter how they try to hide it, will always leave traces; they can't fool my eyes at all.

But if both sides are on horseback, we won't be able to catch up. We'll just have to wait on the only road they can pass through; otherwise, we won't be able to catch a single hair."

Mada frowned and thought for a moment: "We don't have enough manpower right now. If we split up and ambush them, we won't be able to catch them all."

The hyena chimed in, "Then we'll have to split into two groups. Whichever group engages first, the other should hurry towards that side. But it's hard to say when that will happen, since this is mountainous jungle. It looks close, but it'll be exhausting to walk there."

"That's the only way! Even if we can't catch them all, breaking them up will do!"

Mada stood up and ordered, "Group A, go into the mountains with the coyotes to intercept them. Group B, come with me to the Xiaoqing River N71 area to set up an ambush. No matter what, we have to catch a few rookies! Otherwise, we'll lose all face! Move out!"

Upon hearing this, the special forces soldiers immediately mounted their horses.

Ran Feng and Ma Da each led a group of people and set off quickly on horseback.

On the other side, in the swift-flowing river, a raft drifts downstream.

The raft was covered with camouflage raincoats, and it looked like all the newbies were on it.

In the woods by the river, Mada, holding binoculars and staring at the water, said into his headset, "Coyote, watch out, I've spotted Rookie Team A. Over."

The hyena was leading Group A on horseback through the dense forest when he heard the news and replied into his headset: "Are you sure? Over."

"Confirmed, they made a raft. Nothing new, exactly the same as those idiots from two years ago. Over." Mada's tone was slightly disdainful.

The hyena looked at the dense forest in front of it and frowned as it pondered.

A special forces soldier standing nearby, seeing him motionless, grew anxious: "Coyotes? What are we waiting for? Let's hurry back and catch them off guard!"

The hyena remained still, continuing to ponder.

The special forces soldier then said, "We've already confirmed Gray Wolf, what's there to hesitate about?"

The hyena shook his head: "If they could think of stealing horses, they wouldn't be that stupid."

"But the Grey Wolves only have one group; there's no way they can catch them all!"

The coyote gritted its teeth and made up its mind: "Hunters have to be more cunning than foxes! If there's no one on the raft, it'll be a waste of our time going back; we won't catch a single one!"

The special forces soldier paused for a moment: "You mean, they set up a fake target?"

"I'm not 100% sure, but I don't think they're that stupid! I'm the team leader, so the order is: Keep moving!"

After saying that, the hyena spurred its horse and headed into the mountains, with the special forces soldiers behind it quickly following.

He then shouted into his headset, "Grey Wolf, Coyote calling. Group A, continue forward, intercept the rookies in the U20 area. Over."

Upon hearing this, Ma Da gave a helpless wry smile: "Received. Stay in touch. Over."

He put down his binoculars and muttered, "Those coyotes! They're so stubborn! There's no way around it. Let's go downstream and intercept them there! Get our weapons ready; we're about to have a tough battle with outnumbered enemies!"

-

Meanwhile, in the mountains and forests.

Xiao Zhuang tried to ride his horse uphill, but the horse was too tired and couldn't make it.

Xiao Zhuang tried several times, but the horse kept spinning in place. He could only sigh, "It's no use, the horse can't run anymore."

The old man shook his head with a wry smile: "This horse is ruined."

Geng Jihui, who was bringing up the rear, quickly rode over upon seeing this and said, "Looks like we'll have to keep running."

Feng Yuxiu waved his hand: "Dismount!"

The team members all jumped off their horses.

Qiangzi looked at the horses and asked, "What should we do with these horses?"

Chen Pai looked at the several tired horses: "Release them?"

Upon hearing this, Deng Zhenhua became anxious: "Releasing them in this deep mountain forest? Isn't that sending them to their deaths?"

Geng Jihui patted Deng Zhenhua on the shoulder and comforted him, "Don't worry, these are all military horses, they've been trained. There's an old saying, 'An old horse knows the way,' haven't you heard that?"

Deng Zhenhua was still worried: "But there are wild animals everywhere in these mountains. If we release them, will they be able to go back on their own?"

Chen Pai said confidently, "You don't need to worry about that. Military horses are different from ordinary horses; they're not as delicate. Let the horses go!"

The team members had no choice but to untie the reins and let the horse go.

As the group watched the horses slowly walk away, Feng Yuxiu urged, "Alright, stop watching, we need to hurry! Advance in columns, scouts first! Assault teams follow behind, let's go!"

-

The team members quickened their pace as they hurried through the twilight forest.

Looking at the riverbank again, a barrier net has been stretched across the river, blocking the waterway.

Mada and his special forces soldiers hid in the bushes on both sides of the river.

He stared upstream through his binoculars and saw a raft drifting towards him in the distance. It was covered with military camouflage raincoats, and it looked like the rookies were all lying on it. There were also some bushes and branches piled up around it to block the view.

Mada put down his binoculars, a smug smile spreading across his face: "Watch out, the newbie's coming!"

The special forces soldiers immediately prepared for battle, raising their guns.

Mada picked up his rifle, cocked it, and muttered under his breath, "These bastards! They're hopelessly stupid!"

The raft drifted closer and closer with the current, but the motor's eyes widened more and more.

Something is wrong!

Underneath the raincoats on the raft, you couldn't see the faces of the newbies at all; if you lifted a crack, all you could see were weeds and branches.

The raft crashed into the barrier net.

Seeing this, the special forces soldiers began firing at the raft: "Rat-a-tat-tat..."

"Cease fire! Cease fire now!" Mada suddenly shouted.

As soon as the gunfire stopped, Ma Dong pointed at the raft and said to the people around him, "Let's go down and take a look!"

The two special forces soldiers immediately jumped into the water and swam along the interception net to the raft.

They ripped off the camouflage raincoat, but there was no one inside; it was all bushes and weeds.

Ma Da gritted his teeth in anger: "Those bastards! They're fucking cunning!"

He quickly shouted into his headset, "Hyena, I messed up! That was a fake target! I repeat, it's a dummy on the raft! They're definitely in the mountains! Over."

-

-

In the mountains and forests, the silly wolf Ran Feng, disguised as a single soldier, led the team forward.

Hearing the voice in the earpiece, he stopped and replied, "Coyote received, heading towards U20, over."

Mada's voice trembled, "We must catch them! Our Lone Wolf Squad's assessment of the rookies has now become their challenge to us!"

"If we lose, we'll lose all face!"

"My face is gone!!!"

The hyena took a deep breath and turned around. "The gray wolves failed. Now it's up to us. We can't let them escape from us!"

"Head straight to the U20 zone!"

"Coyote, what if they've already arrived?"

The hyena sneered, "I am the son of the mountains and forests, and no one in this world can outrun me!"

"We must catch these thieves! Especially... him!"

The image of Feng Yuxiu's smug face flashed through the coyote's mind; he had never been so thoroughly humiliated before!
This was something his sense of superiority as a special forces soldier couldn't tolerate—he'd actually been beaten by a captain!

"I'll show you why I'm called a coyote!"
