Chapter 208: One Shot
These 300 people were simply the last straw, destroying the defense line commanded by Zhang Yuan at once! Not to mention that this straw was still very thick, and Zhang Yuan himself could not stop it, so everyone had to give up the defense outside and retreat into the Tibetan soldier cave.
The Man in Black was not satisfied with breaking the defense, but was bent on destroying the enemy. So after they smashed the defensive line, they didn't stop for a moment, and chased after them!
Zhang Yuan is a tiger that is difficult to defeat the dogs, and his full strength to intercept it, at most, slightly slows down the speed of the enemy's pursuit. In the end, he had to find a way out of it himself, so he returned to the cave.
At this time, the fifty soldiers commanded by Hong Xiuquan also desperately blocked up and blasted out the black-clothed man who had chased him to the cave. Hong Xiuquan, who has average martial arts, is also mixed with the soldiers at this critical moment, and he fights with his life and death.
A guy who was commanding in the back seemed to see that although Hong Xiuquan had average martial arts, he was the leader of these rebels, and thought to himself that if he could be solved, the rebels would be leaderless and would collapse without attacking. He didn't alarm others, his heart turned at will, he flew up, and grabbed Hong Xiuquan in the air!
The foundation of this person's martial arts is the Mighty Eagle Claw Skill, and once he grasps it, his brain will immediately burst! Obviously, he is also fighting this evil idea!
At the last moment, Mai Ke, who was closely observing the battlefield situation from high in the sky, made a decisive move!
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh! Three hidden weapons came out of Mai Ke's hand. The first one slammed into the right hand of the Eagle Claw Gongyun's palm, breaking his metacarpal bone at once!
This sudden heavy blow interrupted the flight of the Eagle Claw Gong, and after only a pause, the other two hidden weapons also arrived as scheduled. It was hitting him in both the backs. The attacker, who was doubly wounded, was like a scale. Fell vertically to the ground.
Then, Mai Ke flew closer. But he still remained condescending, facing these black-clothed people who were still besieging the hiding cave, followed by a round of indiscriminate hidden weapon attacks.
The attack wave formed by the hidden weapon was comparable to heavy machine gun fire, knocking all the 300 people who had just pressed up to the ground!
Immediately after that, another round of hidden weapons named the people of the night who had come up first and were fighting among the soldiers of the Heavenly Kingdom. Whoever was pointed at fell on the spot.
When three or four hundred more had been struck down, the rest of the men shouted and retreated. Even so. There is also no confusion, which shows the high level of their su zhì.
It was only when these two groups of black-clothed men fell or fled that Mai Ke landed from a high altitude and instructed everyone to move all these black-clothed men who fell to the ground into the Tibetan Soldier Cave. They are all acupuncture points and are not life-threatening.
Then, Mai Ke untied the sealed acupuncture points of the two men in black and interrogated them in isolation. Zhang Yuan tried one, and he tried the other.
The special forces are trained in special interrogation techniques, and there are many high-sounding formal methods. There are more crooked ways. Anyway, the two of them took turns to use it, and little by little they pried open the mouths of the captives, and felt the situation of these men in black clearly.
It turns out that these people are all Lao Chongguang's private arms!
The person who was first restrained by Mai Ke's secret weapon was the general leader of this armed force, whose name was Lao Chongming. It sounds like he has something to do with the governor, but in fact this person is really an uncle and brother of the governor of Lao.
Martial arts are still secondary, the key is that your family can be trusted.
According to the original Lo Chongguang's plan. This private army of his was not prepared to show his face, only when his life was in danger. before they were rescued. This idea was also discussed by him and Li Hongzhang.
But when they surrounded Jintian Village, especially when they used troops against this cave and the surrounding area. However, he found that the defense here was extremely strong, and there was no way to break through it with the green battalion soldiers.
Hong Xiuquan's appearance also made them think that the leader of the rebels was here! If they could be killed or captured alive, they would be able to quickly resolve the chaos in the entire region.
After thinking about it repeatedly, Lao Chongguang made up his mind to break through the defense line of the chaotic people in one fell swoop at any cost. Exchanging views with Li Hongzhang, he also agreed with this change in strategy, believing that only by taking down the leaders of these rebels can he fundamentally ensure his own safety.
In this way, Lao Chongguang threw half of his belongings into it at once! Under the attack of these thousand black-clothed men, although the defense line organized by Zhang Yuan did not collapse, there was only barely support left. The desperate Lao Chongguang threw in another 300 people, and tore through the defense line at once.
If it weren't for Mai Ke's attack at a critical moment, the enemy's strategy would have really succeeded!
After getting this situation, Mai Ke, Zhang Yuan, and Hong Xiuquan all looked solemn. Zhang Yuan, in particular, felt that his underestimation of the enemy was almost a big mistake. If something goes wrong with himself, it's a small matter, and Hong Xiuquan can't have an accident. Without Hong Xiuquan, is this Taiping Heavenly Kingdom still called the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom?
But Mai Ke didn't think Zhang Yuan was insignificant. Of course, Hong Xiuquan cannot afford to lose, and Zhang Yuan must not lose! Not only Zhang Yuan, but all the places that have crossed over must not make mistakes!
Therefore, while Mai Ke was alerting himself, he also emphasized to Zhang Yuan and Hong Xiuquan that the first thing to pay attention to is not to be proud and underestimate the enemy. Today, there are too many dangers like this at one time, and we must not allow them to happen again.
At this time, the reinforcements had arrived, and this was still Mai Ke's arrangement. When Mai Ke sensed the danger here, Tong Guò had the wit to inform Peter and ask him to send a detachment of marines over.
As a result, a whole thousand of the most combat-ready Marines quickly rushed over to replace these tired army brothers.
The soldiers who had been given a rotation did not rest in place, but returned to the Holy Mountain base. At the same time, the captured men in black were also escorted back. Mai Ke lifted their seals, and then imposed bans on them one by one, which was the miniature ideological transformation system.
At this time, the man in black who had withdrawn from the battlefield of the Tibetan Soldier Cave had already run back to his camp. As soon as Lao Chongguang saw the wolf appearance of these people, his confident expression disappeared at once, he stood up suddenly, walked forward quickly, grabbed a person and asked, "Xiaohu, what's the matter, where is your father?"
It turned out that this little tiger was Lao Chongming's second son, so Lao Chongguang was familiar with him and asked him about the situation.
Xiaohu was sweating all over his head and said urgently: "Oh no! My dad was killed by them! Many others died the same! It would be the same if we didn't run!"
"What? Chongming actually died here?" The news was so unexpected that it shocked him so much that he sat on the ground with his ass on his ass.
Xiang Rong and Li Hongzhang hurriedly ran over, personally picked him up, and helped him back to sit down. These two also knew that the blow to Lao Chongguang must have been not small, otherwise this old fritter in the officialdom would never have been caught off guard to such a point.
Now they have to decide where to go next! (To be continued......)
