Chapter 30: The Three Caves of the Cunning Rabbit
"Big brother, I found it, I found the cave that the bandits said." As a public warehouse for storing supplies, the bandits of Niutou Mountain deliberately chose a cave that was easy to defend and difficult to attack, and with the shouts of one of Jin Dabiao's guards, Zhuo Fei and the others quickly bypassed the outermost two stone houses in the camp and saw a hole under the huge rock. Against the backdrop of the torches, the dark and deep cave looked like a monster's wide open mouth, and the overjoyed Jin Dabiao walked towards the entrance of the cave, but was pulled by Zhuo Fei beside him.
"Bang" A gunshot rang out, Jin Dabiao screamed, stretched out his hand to cover his thigh, and fell to the ground when he saw it. "Stand back, spread out, there's a gunslinger in the cave." Zhuo Fei helped Jin Dabiao, who was injured in the thigh, to retreat hurriedly, and the guards who followed the two also scattered and hidden. The bullet that injured Jin Dabiao was more like a signal, just a blink of an eye, and several bullets were fired in the cave, and there was more than one bandit who dared to hide in this cave.
"Shoot, seal the hole." Jin Dabiao, who was injured in the thigh, also went crazy, shook off Zhuo Fei, who was supporting him, with his arms thrown away, and led several of his guards to raise their guns and shoot at the cave. Zhuo Fei had no intention of mixing with Jin Dabiao's inaccurate shooting of their indiscriminate shooting, so he took out a match and threw a large number of lit straw handles at the mouth of the cave in one go. The grass with the fire fell outside the cave, and the originally dark cave entrance was very bright by the firelight, which also made Jin Dabiao's bullets shoot a little more accurate.
Zhuo Fei's actions inspired the guards under Jin Dabiao, as the so-called everyone gathered firewood and the flame was high, and after a while, a half-human-high firewood pile was piled up outside the cave. "Splash water and smoke them out." There was no shortage of chickens and dogs under Jin Dabiao, and several clay pots filled with water were vigorously smashed into the pyre, and the choking smoke immediately rose, although most of the smoke rose along the rocks, but still some of the smoke poured into the cave.
The smoke drifted into the cave, and the bandits hiding inside couldn't help coughing, but Jin Dabiao outside the cave laughed when he heard it, and laughed that he wanted to smoke the bandits hiding in the cave into red-eyed rabbits. "Brothers, fight with them." Just when Jin Dabiao was proud, a few spears stretched out from the cave, and in just a few clicks, he picked up the pyre thrown by the guards. A bareheaded, barefoot, wearing a jacket and wielding a revolver in his hand led the way from the Chushan Cave, under the cover of the firelight, Zhuo Fei clearly saw the other party's flat and long face that looked hideous and terrifying in the firelight, and his heart couldn't help but move.
Seeing the revolver in the hand of this merchant, Zhuo Fei was almost sure that this person should be the third leader of the Niutou Mountain bandits. Zhuo Fei secretly estimated the distance, if it was a normal time, Zhuo Fei could kill the other party with one shot, but there was a lot of smoke at the entrance of the cave, Zhuo Fei had no way to lock the opponent's figure, he had to find a way to get closer to that guy to be able to kill the other party with one shot.
The bandits in the cave wanted to live, so they rushed out as if they were dead, but Jin Dabiao and his guards didn't want to let go of these bandits like this, and the gunfire on both sides instantly became intense. The gunshots kept ranging, shouting and screaming one after another, and the slightly neat volleys of guns should be the calm attack of Jin Dabiao and his guards. And the messy gunshots like popping beans should be the dizzy bandits shooting indiscriminately, in the uniform gunfire and the bandits' ghost crying wolf howl, Zhuo Fei can even distinguish Jin Dabiao's shouting.
Under the volley of the short guns of the escort team, the bandits who tried to break out of Shandong suffered heavy casualties, and the bandits, who had extremely poor combat quality, were still unable to organize a strong counterattack, so they had to drop a few corpses and retreat back into the cave again. The bandits who tried to break out of the cave were beaten back, and Jin Dabiao and the others lost their targets, and the gunfire gradually stopped from strong to weak.
Zhuo Fei held a gun in his right hand and a knife in his left, his bow shrunk in a hidden place, staring closely at the entrance of the cave. "Brothers, don't be afraid, if they don't give us a way to live, the big deal is to die, and fight with them." A voice screamed in the cave, accompanied by a few muffled echoes. Zhuo Fei, who was lying sideways outside Shandong, gritted his teeth, and without waiting for the sound in the cave to stop, he jumped out of the darkness and drilled into the cave like lightning. At the entrance of the cave, there was a bandit looking out again, and Zhuo Fei rushed to the bandit's side with such a rush, and raised his hand to stab the bandit in the throat.
In a hurry, Zhuo Fei used too much force, and the short knife that stabbed into the bandit's throat almost completely stabbed in. Zhuo Fei's short knife had no blood groove, and in a panic, Zhuo Fei couldn't pull out the short knife, so he had to push the blade outward and cut it horizontally. The confrontation between the two was only between lightning and flint, and a large stream of blood spurted out from the neck of the bandit whose throat was cut by a blade, and he stood there with his eyes wide open, and his mouth was even more grinning, but the whole person was unable to move for half a minute.
Zhuo Fei supported the opponent's soft body, did not let the opponent fall, and completely hid his body in the opponent's figure and continued to advance into the cave. The other bandits in the cave hadn't understood what was going on, but Zhuo Fei took the opportunity to push this "human shield" into the cave and force it in the direction where the three masters were.
A bandit standing against the wall of the cave seemed to see the strangeness of the "human shield" in front of Zhuo Fei, and then screamed wildly and raised the rifle in his hand, wanting to shoot. But before he could fire, Zhuo Fei had already leaned out and shot a shot, hitting the opponent's left eye, and the bandit who had been shot let out a beastly cry and fell backwards on his back. At this time, a few shots came out of nowhere, hitting the "meat shield" in front of Zhuo Fei, making a pounce sound, knowing that this was not the time to pause, Zhuo Fei pushed the "meat shield" hard, and rushed forward a few steps.
With the help of the torches in the cave, he saw Zhuo Fei pushing the "meat shield", so he roared wildly, raised the revolver in his hand, and fired fiercely at Zhuo Fei behind the "meat shield". The power of the revolver at close range was stronger than those old-fashioned rifles in the hands of the bandits, Zhuo Fei only felt a hot stabbing pain in his left shoulder, and the bullets fired by the three bandits had already passed through the body of the "meat shield" and injured Zhuo Fei's left arm.
Zhuo Fei had already discovered the bandit's three masters, and was about to shoot the cargo, but he didn't want the accidental injury of his left arm to make Zhuo Fei's body tremble, and even the shell gun in his right hand was tilted to the side. The guns were crooked, and the bullets that came out of the muzzle were naturally crooked to the side, not hitting the bandit three, but hitting a bandit in the cave who tried to throw a short knife. The bandits in the cave howled and rushed up, it may be that the pain in his left arm completely stimulated Zhuo Fei's ferocity, Zhuo Fei couldn't help but shout angrily and raised his foot and kicked away the "meat shield" in front of him, "Bang bang bang!" "Several shots were fired in succession, knocking down all three bandits who rushed up.
At this time, Zhuo Fei had no cover, the cursor in his eyes flashed rapidly on one bandit after another, and after smashing out the jammed shell gun, Zhuo Fei changed the short knife in his left hand to his right hand and pounced. Rushing to the front of a bandit who was trying to get up after being shot, he just waved his hand vigorously, and this bandit, who was bent on survival, was cut open by Zhuo Fei with a knife.
At this time, in the eyes of the bandits, Zhuo Fei has become an out-and-out ghost, and now Zhuo Fei has finally found some feelings of being alone in the tiger's den. Due to the violent knife swing, the pain on Zhuo Fei's shoulders became more and more intense, and just as the last two bandits in the cave pointed their guns at Zhuo Fei, Jin Dabiao also rushed into the cave with his men. More than a dozen bullets flew, and the two bandits who really wanted to pull the trigger fell down screaming, and at this time, Zhuo Fei had already shrunk behind the bandit in his hand.
Jin Dabiao and his subordinates are obviously already red-eyed, especially Jin Dabiao's thigh was also shot, although the gunshot wound was not fatal, but Jin Dabiao shouted to kill all the bandits on Niutou Mountain. Zhuo Fei, who couldn't stop gasping, crawled out from under the "meat shield", looked at his red shoulders, and couldn't help but smile bitterly. originally thought that there was just a group of rabble on Niutou Mountain, but he didn't expect that he actually capsized in the gutter and was injured in the end.
Jin Dabiao and the others quickly cleared the remnants of the bandits in the cave, but Zhuo Fei paid attention to the corpses of the bandits in the cave, but did not find the bare-headed bandit three masters. Zhuo Fei couldn't help but wonder, it stands to reason that they have already controlled Niutou Mountain and this cave, and it is absolutely impossible for the three bandit leaders to escape, but why didn't he find the body of the three bandits?
Jin Dabiao and his guards were still laughing at the cloth, grain, gold and silver piled up in the cave, and the bandits had stored enough money in the cave to buy dozens of acres of land in the countryside. At this moment, Jin Dabiao only had the bandits' belongings in their eyes, and only Zhuo Fei calmed down alone and carefully observed the corners of the cave. Sure enough, under the cover of the torches on the stone wall of the cave, Zhuo Fei found a slip of blood on the ground that was almost connected into a line, and along the ground with this slip of blood, Zhuo Fei found some abnormalities on the cave wall, and he finally understood something.
Zhuo Fei thought for a moment, then dodged against the cave wall, and gestured to Jin Dabiao with a shout. When Jin Dabiao and the guards under him reacted, and leaned over with a short gun, Zhuo Fei had already moved the wooden box in front of him, and grabbed a guard's short gun and snapped at the hole exposed behind the wooden box.
