Chapter 16 - Holding the Line Alone

The Ten Rings didn't appear much in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

At least, that was the case up until Qin Xiao's transmigration. As for the comics, Qin Xiao's understanding was limited to the Mandarin and the rings themselves.

But now, it seemed the Ten Rings' influence in the Middle East was incredibly strong.

At least, in the Asian region of the Middle East.

The distance from the desert camp where they rescued Tony to Afghanistan was not that great.

Along the way, they were not only pursued by six fully armed off-road vehicles.

And now, they were surrounded by nearly twenty off-road vehicles.

Even with two top-tier agents and Qin Xiao, a super soldier, in the mix...

Still, they were suppressed by the opponent's powerful firepower and couldn't lift their heads.

Forget about counterattacking; if things continued like this, they wouldn't get far before being torn to shreds by the Gatling Gun.

On their way here, to prevent accidents and to stop pursuers, their car was equipped with two six-barreled Gatling Guns.

When the car had crossed three sand dunes in a row.

Qin Xiao shouted, "Stop the car!"

He jumped out of the car, carrying a Gatling Gun.

Two Gatling Guns; Qin Xiao had one, and Tony set up another on the ground.

Hawkeye was still holding his bow and arrows, while Black Widow and Yinsen were carrying an automatic rifle.

"Once we get past these dunes, they'll spread out and try to surround us. This is our last chance!"

Qin Xiao also lay down on the back of the dune, looking up at the opposite side.

"This terrain can indeed hold them back for a while, but we won't be able to hold them for long. There are too many of them, and our ammo won't last more than a few minutes."

Hawkeye quickly looked at the ammunition and firearms.

"A few minutes is enough. As long as we can stop them first, it'll be easy."

Qin Xiao stared intently at the dunes opposite, just waiting for their vehicles to completely cross the dunes.

Once they entered the natural basin between the two dunes, that was when they would be trapped.

"But…"

Black Widow took over the conversation, but before she could finish, the sound of vehicles roared from the other side.

One after another, off-road vehicles emerged from the dunes, speeding downhill towards them.

"Get ready!"

Qin Xiao stared intently at the vehicles appearing within his line of sight.

When most of the vehicles on the opposite side had entered the lowest part of the basin.

"Now!"

Qin Xiao fired the first shot. Although the others didn't know what Qin Xiao was planning, they still followed his plan and fired directly.

Two Gatling Guns, two automatic rifles.

They directly wove a curtain of death with their bullets.

Then, with Hawkeye unexpectedly landing one or two arrows to take down a few drivers.

The off-road vehicles in the basin also reacted one after another.

Several cars formed a straight line, with a few more cars added behind them, lined up in sequence.

The terrorists on the opposite side could only hide behind two cars and return fire.

The firepower of the Gatling Guns was too strong; one car was not enough to guarantee their safety.

"Alright! Cease fire!"

Seeing the other side immediately set up a formation on the spot, Qin Xiao gestured for everyone to stop firing.

"Barton, if anyone on the other side tries to drive, shoot the driver with an arrow and kill him. Don't move if they don't move either!"

There were only five people here, hiding behind the sand dunes, occasionally changing positions to take a look.

As long as someone on the other side moved, Hawkeye would shoot an arrow.

If several people on the other side moved, or if they drove.

The guns here would immediately unleash a barrage of fire.

Sure enough, the enemy was pinned down in place.

"Is this your plan? We don't have much ammunition left, what's next?"

Black Widow changed a magazine and said, "It's my show now. Leave me some supplies. When they move, I'll take another round. You two leave immediately!"

Qin Xiao looked at the people below and said calmly, "No, what about you? What will you do?"

Tony was the first to jump out in opposition. Qin Xiao had come to save him, and Tony couldn't just leave him alone in the desert.

"He doesn't know, but you should. You two go first. My chances of survival are higher alone. This place isn't far from Afghanistan. If you move fast, I can definitely hold out until support arrives."

Qin Xiao said to Black Widow and Hawkeye.

Black Widow and Hawkeye exchanged a look, agreeing that this was indeed the best course of action.

Dragging the enemy here, putting aside the issue of ammunition, the key is that no one knows whose reinforcements will arrive first.

They are still too few in number. If the other side brings more people and attacks from another direction...

Then they can only be surrounded by the enemy.

"No, I object. We must have another way!"

Tony saw that Hawkeye and Black Widow seemed a little tempted, and quickly objected loudly.

"Tony, listen to me, look here!"

Qin Xiao beckoned to Tony with his finger.

As Tony's gaze turned, Qin Xiao struck out with a hand blade, chopping at the back of Tony's neck at an angle.

"Damn it, why did you hit me?"

Tony covered his cheek and questioned.

Qin Xiao was a bit embarrassed. He was afraid of using too much force and hurting Tony, so he didn't dare to use much strength, which resulted in awkwardness.

"That..."

Qin Xiao scratched his head, but unexpectedly, Hawkeye stood up and chopped Tony's neck with a hand knife.

Tony groaned and fell to the ground.

"What about you? Do you want to come with us or be knocked out by me?"

Qin Xiao glanced sideways at Yinsen.

"I'll go with you, I'll be obedient!"

Yinsen raised his hands in cooperation. He just watched them chop Tony, and it took two chops to knock him out. It looked painful, and it must be swollen, right?

Yinsen thought weakly to himself.

Just then, two cars on the opposite side tried to drive in another direction, intending to circle back later.

Two Gatling Guns spun furiously, forcing the cars back to their original positions.

Hawkeye also shot an arrow, directly taking out the driver of one of the cars.

"Now's the time, you guys hurry, go!"

Hawkeye didn't say anything, but bent down and directly picked up the unconscious Tony.

And Black Widow looked at Qin Xiao with some concern.

"That look in your eyes... you're not going to confess to me now, are you? For God's sake, you guys get out of here, go get help and come back for me, hurry!"

Qin Xiao said fiercely, and even gave Black Widow's butt a smack.

This time, Black Widow didn't get angry, but rolled her eyes at Qin Xiao.

"Don't push yourself if you can't handle it. Fight a guerilla war with them, and we'll find you."

"Yeah!"

Qin Xiao nodded heavily.

Later, this group of off-road vehicles came directly from the desert of Iran.

Leading them was a fat man with a beard.

He had also directed the convoy to form a temporary fortress when they suddenly attacked after cresting the sand dunes.

Although the enemy's firepower was fierce, the fat man wasn't worried at all.

Because they had a large number of people, the other side couldn't possibly carry too much ammunition.

This was the desert, their territory. They could simply wear them down.

However, the fat man was also uneasy about the delay, so he wanted to let two vehicles break through first and give it a try.

As soon as the vehicles started, the Gatling Gun's bullets howled towards them.

And that terrifying bow and arrow, one shot could take someone out instantly.

"Damn it! This isn't going to work. If we drag this out any longer, the American military will intervene."

The Bearded Man anxiously patted the sand on the ground.

As a result, they sent two groups to try and go around, but they were either forced back by a hail of bullets or directly shot dead by Hawkeye!
