After drinking until about two o'clock in the afternoon, the Wang brothers said goodbye to Zheng Yihu and went home, after all, they will start tomorrow, and the Wang brothers still have many things to arrange. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info First of all, Wang Gui's side, why do you have to send someone to contact Wang Gui tonight, to see if there is any change on Wang Gui's side, do you need to put a little more pressure on Wang Gui, after all, Wang Gui is an important part of the Wang brothers' attack on Wangjiazhai this time, if Wang Gui has an accident, then there will be trouble.

In addition, the Wang brothers can't all count on Zheng Yihu's people, and they must have some performance, otherwise they will defect to Zheng Yihu's cottage in the future, and it will be difficult to convince the public, and now there are only three Wang Jiazhai's family members left around the Wang brothers, but after all, Wang Kefu has lived in Jiaozhou City for several years, and has dealings with the three religions and nine streams, and he has some friendship with the Jiaozhou gang, so in the past few days, Wang Kefu has been running around in Jiaozhou City, and has also pulled more than 30 people, all of whom are ruffians and hooligans without lazy people, etc., anyway, as long as they are for Yinxiao, these people will do anything。 Now I have to go back and return these people to Long.

And after the Wang brothers left, the bandits are still eating and drinking, after all, they haven't eaten meat and drank wine for more than a month, this time they have to eat enough, Zheng Yihu didn't stop him, after all, for more than a month, the life in the cottage has indeed been a little harder, anyway, tomorrow will not be wrong, let them make enough trouble today. And the five tigers and eight horses couldn't stop toasting Zheng Yihu to persuade him, so Zheng Yihu also picked up the sea bowl again and drank happily with everyone.

After drinking for a while, I heard the sound of gunshots outside the temple.

Although Zheng Yihu was already five or six minutes drunk at this time, he still understood very well in his heart, and suddenly there was an agitation, and the wine also woke up a little, and he was about to ask what happened and where the gunshots came from, at this moment, with a "bang", the door of the Daxiong Treasure Hall was knocked open, and a small minion ran in with a roll, and kicked over two vegetable bowls, and said in a trembling voice: "Big boss, big boss, we are surrounded, surrounded." ”

When Zheng Yihu heard this, he couldn't help but be taken aback, and the wine woke up a little more, and immediately said: "Who surrounded us, is it the official army?"

The little minion said: "I don't know, it doesn't look like an official army, but everyone has a bird gun in their hands, and it looks a little like an official army." ”

Zheng Yihu listened, and suddenly the fire hit up, raised a foot, and kicked the little minion out of the hall, and at this time the gunshots outside were more urgent, not only Zheng Yihu, but also the five tigers and eight horses were also a little nervous, at this time Zheng Yihu said: "Brothers, let's go out and see, what is the fairy who came all the way, if you want to move our brothers, it depends on whether our guys agree." With that, he raised a rifle, waved it into the air, and then led out of the main hall.

At this time, the five tigers and eight horses were also drunk for six or seven points, and after listening to Zheng Yihu's words, one by one, their blood boiled, they all picked up their rifles, shouted and followed Zheng Yihu out of the hall, and some people were fast, and even rushed to the front of Zheng Yihu and rushed out of the hall.

It turned out that Zheng Yihu bought more than 60 rifles through Wangjiazhai, so all the leaders are each person has a rifle, which is unique in Shandong's mountain bandits, prisons and robbers, and cottages, even if there are dozens of rifles, but there is no solution to the ammunition supply, there is no bullet, and the rifle is no different from the burning stick.

When the people just came and rushed to the door of the main hall, two people immediately screamed and fell to the ground and died, while the others saw it, and the drunken spirit suddenly woke up more than half, and hurriedly found a place to hide, and one of the movements was a little slower, and suddenly fell to the ground with a bullet.

Zheng Yihu didn't go out of the gate, so he immediately hid behind the wall next to the door, peeked out from the crack in the door, and saw that the bandits in the temple had already understood at this time, some people picked up weapons and prepared to resist, and more than ten bandits armed with rifles were looking for shelter by the wall, and set up rifles to shoot outside the temple.

The bullets fired from outside the temple were very dense, and some people were shot and fell to the ground one after another, and many bullets hit the pillars on the wall, and even passed through the windows and entered the main hall. was only so frightened that Zheng Yihu only shrunk his neck.

However, Zheng Yihu is a bold man after all, and he is still bold, looking into the distance from the broken courtyard wall, he saw that about 100 meters away from the courtyard wall, a group of soldiers he had never seen before, without helmets or armor, wearing a gray-green cloth uniform, with a gray-green military cap, a cowhide belt with cross flower arrangements on his chest, and a white cloth legging on his calf, which looked strange and indeed very different from the official army. In addition, the queue was spread horizontally, and it was divided into three aspects: left, center, and right, and advanced towards the temple. But it's really a rifle in hand, and as you advance, you shoot at the same time.

Zheng Yihu observed carefully, and saw that the rifles they used were very different from those they used, not that they would be loaded with a single shot, but that after the shot, they immediately pulled the bolt and withdrew the bullet, and then continued to shoot. Such a speed of fire is naturally much faster than his own, and the opponent's musket is also more than his own, so his own side is completely suppressed by the other side, and the bandits who exchanged shots with the other party by the courtyard wall have already injured and killed several people, and the remaining four or five people have also fled.

Although Zheng Yihu is a bandit, he has some understanding of rifles, and knows that this kind of rifle that can be fired in bursts is a new type of rifle, and it is not equipped much in the official army, according to Zheng Yihu, the new Shandong governor Yuan Shikai's Beiyang New Army is equipped with this kind of rifle, is this army Yuan Shikai's army?

At this moment, Zheng Yihu's mind flashed with inspiration, and he immediately understood that this army must be the army of the legendary overseas Chinese, thinking of this, Zheng Yihu's heart couldn't help but sink, how did the overseas Chinese know that they were hiding in this Ciming Temple? Is it difficult to say that the Wang brothers betrayed themselves? But the Wang brothers and the overseas Chinese have a grudge against each other, and they took action to help them regain the Wangjiazhai, how could they betray themselves?

But now is the time not to think about these things, but to deal with the current situation in front of you. Although Zheng Yihu's age is not very old, but he is also a long-time battle-hardened person, fighting with other bandits, exchanging fire with the militia, fighting with the officers and soldiers of the Chunting Court, and even having a battle with the foreigners, although that time was a German army squad that was encircled and suppressed, Zheng Yihu dispatched more than 100 people, only killed four German soldiers, and killed 17 brothers himself, but after all, he defeated the foreigners, so it was also called the proud battle of Zheng Yihu's life.

Now although the opponent's firepower is stronger than their own, but it is divided into three bread exercises, but the number is not much, it is estimated that it is about 100 people, although they have now killed dozens of people, but the number is still far above the other side, and the rifle is not conducive to close combat, according to Zheng Yihu's previous experience in fighting with the Qing army, the army that makes good use of firearms is generally not good at close combat, there are several times Zheng Yihu and the Qing army fought, braving the fire of the Qing army to desperately assault, and when the result was killed in front of the Qing army, the Qing army suddenly collapsed.

So Zheng Yihu immediately shouted: "Brothers, everyone hide in the house, prepare the guys, and when they rush into the courtyard, fight with them, we have a lot of people, and we will definitely be able to fight against them." ”

At this time, there were already many bandits hiding in the house, and after the other bandits heard Zheng Yihu's words, they immediately retreated into the palace houses on the left and right, and after a while, there were only a dozen bandits left in the courtyard, they either didn't hear Zheng Yihu's shouting, or they were pressed by the fire of the People's Army.

And Zheng Yihu and his five tigers and eight horses also retreated into the Daxiong Treasure Palace, but Zheng Yihu counted the number of people, and in such a short period of time, he actually died two tigers and two horses, which are all Zheng Yihu's right-hand men, and more than thirty percent died at once, Zheng Yihu only gritted his teeth with hatred, and said: "Brothers, all prepare knives and guns, just wait for them to enter the courtyard, let's rush out and kill them without leaving a piece of armor." ”

The rest of the tiger hustons also took up their swords and guns, just waiting to start a white-knuckle battle with the enemy.

―――――――― Divider ――――――――― Dividing Line――――――――

"Battalion commander, the enemy has already taken refuge in the house, it seems that they are frightened by our firepower, can we send the Germans?"

Luo Yue looked at it with a telescope, shook his head, and said, "Now is not the time to charge, and the bandits don't have many casualties, they just hide in the houses, if we boldly attack, I'm afraid the casualties will not be small." Saying that, Luo Yue waved his hand and said, "Order the troops, suspend the advance, prepare the artillery, and fire at the temple." ”

"Boom!"

This time, the only Krupp Type 1896 77mm field gun brought by the People's Army opened fire, and the shell fell into the courtyard of Ciming Temple and exploded, but there were not many bandits in the courtyard at this time, so this cannon caused almost no casualties to the bandits.

However, Zheng Yihu, who was hiding in the Daxiong Treasure Palace, was really nervous, the enemy actually brought artillery, and this time it was really a big trouble.

Originally, there were two old-fashioned artillery pieces in Zheng Yihu's cottage, although the caliber was 85 mm, but it was a front-piercing bullet, and there were no matching shells, which could only be filled with iron sand and gravel, and they could only be frightened when they were frightened, and they didn't play much role, and they were very bulky, so they didn't bring it this time, but this doesn't mean that Zheng Yihu didn't know the power of the artillery. The firepower of the opponent's rifle is far stronger than its own, and now it is still using artillery, how can this battle be fought.

And just when Zheng Yihu was thinking, the other party fired two more shots, one shot fell in front of the Daxiong Treasure Palace, and the powerful explosion impact smashed the doors and windows of the Daxiong Treasure Palace, Zheng Yihu was rushed back several steps in a row, and sat on the ground.

Another shell hit a house just like that, with the sound of an explosion mixed with screams, two bandits flew out of the window and fell into the yard.
