Chapter 473 Tangbei and Tangdong are surrounded
473
Tang Nan was shocked and almost tripped over the gravel - his sister's consciousness was like a ray of warm light, penetrating the despair brought by the rainstorm.
Meanwhile, down at the cliff face, Tang Bei and Tang Dong had already finished setting up their vine trap. A three-meter-thick vine net was anchored between the ancient trees above the mountain path, its soaked hemp ropes swaying slightly in the wind.
"Brother, why are the gunshots so loud over there? I hope nothing happened to my second brother?" Tang Dong looked in the direction where the smoke was filling the air, his fingers unconsciously stroking the bomb on his waist.
Tang Bei drove the last nail into the tree trunk and said in a deep voice, "He seems unreliable at ordinary times, but when things really get tough, he's very smart. If we can't beat him, he'll definitely run away. Don't worry!"
Although Tang Bei said this, it was impossible not to worry. However, Dongzi was still young, and no matter how smart he was, he was still immature. He couldn't worry about that, and he couldn't handle this.
"When the American escort team arrives, we will..."
Before Tang Bei finished speaking, the roar of an engine suddenly reached him in the distance. A military jeep burst through the rain, the heavy machine gun mounted on its roof gleaming coldly.
"Oh no, the American support has arrived!" Tang Bei's pupils shrank suddenly, "Dongzi, detonate the bomb and disrupt their formation first!" Tang Dong immediately lit the fuse and threw the bomb with all his strength towards the path that the jeep must pass.
"Boom!" The explosion shook the mountain, shrapnel tore through the rain curtain, and the jeep staggered into the roadside ditch.
However, before the smoke had cleared, more American soldiers emerged from the woods behind them, their bullets raining down on the cliffs like a swarm of locusts. Tang Bei and Tang Dong were forced to hide in a crevice, watching their carefully laid vine net crumble in the hail of bullets.
Bullets rained down like dense raindrops around the cracks in the rocks, sending rubble flying. Tang Bei and Tang Dong huddled in the narrow crevice, not daring to breathe. Tang Dong looked at the vine net riddled with holes and said in a trembling voice, "Brother, the trap is about to collapse. There are too many American troops. Let's retreat!"
Tang Bei's face was as gloomy as iron. He tightly grasped the rifle seized from the US army in his hand, his eyes fixed on the approaching US soldiers.
"Don't panic!" Ernan didn't know what was going on. If they retreated now, and the situation on Ernan's side wasn't over yet, and the American troops here came to support them, Ernan would be in danger. He absolutely wouldn't allow such a thing to happen.
Tang Bei took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down. "We'll use the cover of the cracks in the rocks and move to another location after each shot. We can't let them figure out our position."
As soon as he finished speaking, Tang Bei leaned forward and fired a shot at the American soldier, sending one soldier falling to the ground. The other American soldiers immediately fired wildly in the direction of the gunshot. Tang Bei quickly retreated into the crevice of the rock, the bullet grazed his scalp, causing a fiery pain.
Tang Dong was just asking about his elder brother, just to make conversation. Even if Tang Bei asked him to leave now, he wouldn't leave. The situation above was unclear, and Ernan still didn't know what had happened.
Furthermore, judging by the gunfire and explosions above, reinforcements might have already arrived nearby. Therefore, they absolutely couldn't leave. They had to hold these American troops here. Once the above was over, reinforcements would naturally arrive to support them.
He found the perfect moment and threw a homemade bomb. "Boom!" The bomb exploded among the American troops, instantly knocking down several soldiers. However, the American firepower was too strong, so they quickly adjusted their tactics, dividing into several small teams and encircling them from different directions.
"Dongzi, they're going to surround us!" Tang Bei watched the approaching American troops with a frantic heart. Now it was just him and Dongzi, and he couldn't let anything happen to Dongzi. His mother was still waiting for them at home.
He looked around and spotted a narrow mountain path behind the crevice. Although steep and difficult to navigate, it might be their only chance of breaking out. "Let's retreat to the mountain path behind and deal with them there!"
The two men carefully emerged from the crevice and retreated quickly along the mountain path. The American soldiers noticed their movements and immediately pursued them, bullets whizzing in their wake. Tang Dong suddenly stopped, turned around, and threw another bomb at the pursuing American soldiers, successfully stopping their pursuit.
But this was only temporary, as more American soldiers surged forward. Tang Bei and Tang Dong had retreated to the end of the mountain path, a steep cliff behind them. Their ammunition was running low, and their strength was nearing its limit.
"Brother, it looks like we're going to die here today," Tang Dong said with a wry smile, looking at the dense mass of American troops before him. Tang Bei, however, clenched his fists, his eyes still filled with determination: "I won't give up until the last moment! Even if I die, I'll take a few people with me!"
Moreover, this wasn't the most critical moment yet. Even if something really happened, they still had a lifeline. The two of them were actually calmer than before.
Just as they were about to launch a final fight with the American army, suddenly, a familiar shout came from a distance...
Elsewhere, Tang Nan was cornered by the American army. Five soldiers formed a semicircle around him. The squad leader raised his rifle with a snarling grin, "Run, little bastard!" Tang Nan wiped the blood from his face and suddenly threw his rifle high into the air.
The moment the American soldier subconsciously looked up, he suddenly tore open his clothes - the three grenades tied around his waist were clearly visible!
"If you want to live, retreat!" Tang Nan's roar echoed with thunder, his fingers tightly gripping the ring. The American soldiers' faces suddenly changed. The squad leader gritted his teeth and took two steps back, still pointing his gun at him: "You dare! This old man will be buried with you!"
At this tense moment, a sharp sound suddenly rang out in the sky. A flaming arrow pierced through the rain and accurately hit the American squad leader's helmet.
The arrow pierced the back of the captain's head and exited from the bridge of his nose. The captain's body fell to the ground with a loud bang.
"Quick, hide! There is an ambush in the southeast!" The American soldiers turned around in panic, only to see Tang Yue standing in the air in the rain. A faint blue halo surrounded her, and the longbow in her hand kept shooting flaming arrows.
"Brother, there's no need to fight them!" Tang Yue's voice transformed into invisible sound waves, causing the American soldiers to tingle and dizzy. Tang Nan seized the opportunity and rushed towards the old man who was being guarded by the soldiers.
The remaining eleven or twelve American troops were simply not enough for Tang Yue to handle. Since arriving in Bianyue Country, Tang Yue had rarely had the opportunity to personally take action. She hadn't used a gun because she didn't want the American troops to know about her second brother's situation.
She had already seen the old man, and it was obvious that this was the commander they had received the news about. In no time, Tang Yue had dealt with all the American soldiers.
Tang Nan was exhausted at this time. He pulled the old man to hide behind a stone wall. After a while, when he heard no movement, Tang Nan grinned.
The shock in the old man's eyes had not yet faded. He was surprised that this young man, with whom he had little acquaintance, was willing to risk his life for him.
He had seen it all just now. If it weren't for that little girl flying from the sky, the young boy might have really died. For a moment, he couldn't express the feeling in his heart.
Also, the little girl who just came over, although dressed in the religious attire of the Bianyue Kingdom, spoke Chinese, and Han Rusong could hear it clearly. Is this young boy in front of her her second brother?
Tang Yue had already dealt with the American soldiers. She fell to the ground, and Tang Nan didn't come out for a long time. Tang Yue was a little speechless, "Second brother, everyone is dead, it's time to come out, right?"
Tang Nan's face, which had just been smiling foolishly, suddenly fell. His sister, why couldn't she give him a few more minutes to rest? He really didn't have the energy right now.
He was the second oldest brother, so this was probably his first time fighting alongside his younger sister. He really wanted her to see his bravery.
Oh, it was all because those American soldiers were so quick. Otherwise, he would have had more time to change the magazine and not scare his sister. Tang Nan thought to himself, his sister must be worried about him.
Tang Nan hadn't moved yet, but Tang Yue keenly heard the sound of two gunfire exchanges at the foot of the mountain. Tang Yue's face changed immediately.
"Tang Nan, are you leaving or not?"
