Chapter 65: Return to the Horse Pistol

My words made Walker worry as well, and after a moment of thought, he said, "If we are really hard to resist as you say, tonight will be the most dangerous time." As he spoke, he looked around and said, "We should arrange it, there is only one road up here, and since they get out of the way, it is better to block this road for the time being." ”

Hearing him say this, I knew that he must have thought of a way and hurriedly asked, "How are you going to block it?" ”

Walker smiled at me and said, "Mines, of course." ”

"Do we still have mines?"

Walker nodded, "Of course." There are also quite a few mines. He pointed to the road outside and said, "There are more than some mines there." Try to spread them out as much as possible, and then they will come in and put them in a dilemma. ”

"Not bad." I nodded approvingly, "Actually, if we have enough time, we can make some controllable bombs and blow them up when they come." Maybe they might all be wiped out. ”

"Haha. Good idea, but we don't have the time to set it up. Landmines are the fastest and easiest way to do it. Walker said with a smile.

"Okay. I'm just going to talk about it casually. But tonight I think there should be some experienced people we know about keeping vigil. ”

Walker looked at the busy man, "Who are you going to want?" That's all there is to it. ”

"You and me, of course, and Mighty Mouse and Paro, and finally, Pinto. A few of us can take a break and let the others keep an eye on the surroundings during the day, and we'll take over in the evening. I said.

Walker nodded, "No problem." I planted the mines first. ”

"That's it. Just remember to inform Carl and Pablo and let them know that we have mined, and be careful when you get here. I'll go to bed first. With that, I walked towards the big house, then found a fairly flat place on the second floor, held my gun and began to sleep.

I slept so deeply that I didn't even want to wake up, but Pinto woke me up. When I opened my eyes, I thought the guerrillas were coming again, but Pinto's slower voice calmed me down immediately.

"Sir. Mr. Walker asked me to wake you up. He said our time was up. Pinto said.

I nodded, rubbed my face, picked up the gun, looked at Pinto, and said, "Are you all rested?" Is there no movement from the guerrillas? ”

"I've slept through. There was no movement from the guerrillas, not even a figure was seen. Pinto said lightly.

Downstairs in the hall I found Walker, who was eating with a few other people who were going to keep vigil at night.

"It's all arranged?" I asked, snatching the bread from Walker's hand that seemed to be holding a slice of meat.

Walker gave me a disgruntled look and said, "It's all done with my lord." I arranged for Pinto to go to the highest point outside the courtyard to keep an eye on the movements, especially at the entrance to the top. I'd be staring at the second-floor platform, Paro would be in the yard to report and answer Pinto, and the Mighty Mouse would be staring in the direction of the secret passage behind the house. I've also planted mines, and I've planted mines at the entrance and where the slope looks like I can climb up. If they touch it at night, hehe, they'll be in for a surprise. ”

"What about me? Where did you put me? I asked.

Walker gestured to his feet, "This is it." If they don't give up on attacking the mines, then you can retreat here with some resistance and then retreat to the top. ”

I swallowed the food in my mouth and said, "That's the worst-case scenario." If they don't take the initiative to retreat after being blown up by a mine, it means that they are going to eat us. We'll have to fight harder, even if the person who commanded them to attack was determined, but not everyone would be on the same page with him, let alone after paying such heavy casualties, and didn't the Australian say that they came from several forces? This kind of team is fine when it is going well, but it is very difficult to control if it encounters big adversity. ”

"That's fine. I had machine guns ready, as well as two grenade launchers captured from the dead partisans. It will satisfy them then. Walker finished and took a hard bite of the food in his hand.

After a brief dinner, we made arrangements for the rest of the people and gathered together to start resting. A few of us went into our respective positions according to Walker's arrangement. The first half of the night was quiet, and there was no unusual movement around the manor, but in the second half of the night, near two o'clock, Paro came running back from the courtyard and whispered to me, "Pinto just told me there's movement down there." ”

I haven't slept all the time, that's what I've been waiting for. I immediately stood up and said, "Go tell Walker at once, and wake everyone up, and gather all those who are going to fight." ”

"Understood." Paro said yes and ran towards the stairs behind the house.

As I walked into the courtyard, an explosion was heard. Then I heard Walker's laughter and scolding from upstairs.

"Haha. The son of a bitch stepped on the thunder. Hey gypsies, sure enough, you guessed it, they really touched it back. I think the name of the wizard should be given to you in the future. ”

I walked out into the courtyard and looked up to the rooftop, "You're keeping an eye here." I'll go to the front and have a look. ”

Soon I came to Pinto's side, and when Pinto saw me coming up, he pointed to a place below and said, "That's where the mines blew up." It seems to have blown up two or three of them. ”

I didn't speak, but took Pinto's telescope and looked at it, but I couldn't see it clearly due to the lack of light, and I could only roughly see some dark shadows moving below.

"Looks like they're still not going to understand the withdrawal." I put down my binoculars and shouted into the bottom.

"Hey! Below. Is it Mr. Wizard? Sure enough, you didn't withdraw with your last remaining men, as I thought, and you are still planning to fight and kill us all? I have to say, you have a beautiful trick to return to the horse to kill. It's a pity that it's not the first day we came out to fight and make money, and the reason why I still live to talk to you today is because I'm careful enough, and I can even say that I'm afraid of my opponents, especially someone like you, I'm even more afraid. In order to reassure myself, I have planted a lot of mines around this place, and I have used almost everything that Balcas can explode, and I hope that Mr. Balcas will not be distressed by this. I also hope that Mr. Wizard, you will be careful, and don't get something that will blow up before you can fight us, then you will be too sorry for your reputation. That's all I have to say, but hurry up, Mr. Balcas' reinforcements are getting closer and closer. After I finished shouting, I deliberately laughed loudly and unbridledly, and the others, especially Walker, laughed out loud.

Our laughter led to a flurry of gunfire below, an act that undoubtedly revealed that they were already in a state of rage.

I patted Pinto beside me, "Let's see if I can snipe out one or two of them." It's kind of a tribute to them. ”

Pinto nodded, and then aimed down with the SVD in his hand, "The line of sight is not good, I can't see clearly, I can't guarantee a hit." ”

I shook my head and said, "Nothing. Scare them and give them some fun. ”

As soon as I finished speaking, Pinto pulled the trigger, and there was silence immediately after a gunshot. I looked at Pinto and asked, "Did you hit?" ”

Pinto shook his head, "I don't know, it's not too far off." ”

After a moment of silence, a familiar voice came from below, and a man with a distinct British accent shouted at us, this man was a wizard.

"This gentleman above. I have to admit that you won this time. Not only do you have mines, but you also have snipers arranged. This makes it impossible for me to take you down before Balcas comes back, even if I have the demining equipment. I lost this game, and I hope to play you again next time. ”

"Are you leaving? I mean it's really gone? Yes. I'm not going to be fooled so easily. Either way, I'll keep an eye on this place until Mr. Balcas returns. I don't want us to fall asleep and be your guns. But if you do want to go, don't do it overnight. Tomorrow when Mr. Balcas returns, we may have a chance to fight, and it will be a pleasure to beat the reservoir dogs. I shouted again.

"Okay. Hopefully we'll be able to meet soon. I hope you'll be so eloquent when we meet again. After the wizard had finished shouting this, there was a noise below, and Pinto told me that they had begun to retreat into the woods.

I let out a long sigh of relief when Pinto said this. I patted Pinto on the shoulder and told him not to let his guard down and keep an eye on them, and then returned to the big house, and I told those who had been rallied to go and rest, while we who were on the night watchman continued to be vigilant, after all, the wizards had inflicted too many casualties on us, and if nothing else, more than half of our mercenaries hired to help Pablo were killed and wounded at his hands, which made me have to be afraid, and I had to be more careful. But fortunately, since the wizard retreated this time, nothing happened until dawn.

When I saw the rising sun, I was completely relaxed, not only because we had had the hardest night, but also because Walker had recently made contact with Pablo, who was so close to us that he would be there at noon.

I tossed the gun aside, and this time I really relaxed. Looking at the dilapidated house and the corpses of the guerrillas still lying on the ground, I suddenly didn't want to do it, I wanted to go home again
