Chapter 20: Reinforcements

"Reinforcements? Your people? How many people can come? "Judging from the momentum, there are at least more than a thousand natives outside, and now almost all the leaders of the Chinese faction that can mobilize such a large number of manpower are here, Li Haoran really doesn't know who else can mobilize such a large force to come to the rescue.

"Please rest assured, Master Li Xiang, all the incense masters, and bigwigs, our big leader, Mr. Hu, personally led the elite to come, and the thousands of natives outside are not worth mentioning at all!"

"Mr. Hu? Who is the owner of your house? Li Haoran and the others don't believe it very much, there are three or four hundred Chinese trapped here now, but the rescue that Chen Zichao said must be a lot of people, they really can't think of who else in the Chinese circle in Nanyang will have such a strong force to come to the rescue.

"Oh, I almost forgot, Mr. Hu's name is Zhenzhen, and the word is Xinghua!" In order to gain a foothold in the traditional Chinese world, Hu Zhen deliberately gave a table name Xinghua in addition to his own name.

"Ahh Is he going to come in person? Li Haoran and all the Nanyang Chinese bigwigs were very curious, and they were skeptical about it, not knowing who Hu Zhen was in Chen Zichao's mouth, but he actually learned the information of the natives, and he wanted to personally lead the team to come to the rescue.

"Seniors, if you are interested in Mr. Hu, he will come at dawn tomorrow, and everyone will be able to see him, now let's block the enemy's attack!"

Seeing Chen Zichao's painful appearance of grinning teeth, Li Haoran was embarrassed to continue asking, so he had to order someone to stop the bleeding and heal his wounds quickly.

Although Li Haoran and the others were skeptical at this time, they couldn't see anything outside in the dark and gloomy, and the natives didn't know how many people came, and if they broke through rashly, the result would be unpredictable.

And what's even more troublesome is that these Chinese bigwigs who came to the party have climbed to this position after most of their lives' hard work, and the youngest ones are over 50 years old, and several of them have reached the age of 70.

Li Haoran and everyone weighed it, and they all felt that it was better to hold this place and wait for the arrival of reinforcements tomorrow. Besides, even if what Chen Zichao said is not reliable at all, the Chinese forces under his control know the actions of the natives and will definitely do their best to save them. Therefore, in the end, Li Haoran and others did not take the action of breaking through in the dark.

In fact, when Chen Zichao and Li Haoran were talking, Hu Zhen had already led the men and horses to the back of the indigenous offensive formation.

However, the natives have at least a thousand men and horses, and at this moment it is dark and dark, and they are not very familiar with the terrain, so it is not good to give full play to the advantages of their own equipment, and rashly attacking, there will inevitably be a large cost of casualties.

Hu Zhen didn't want his precious basic team to suffer too many casualties, so he ordered to conceal the formation first, and sent capable personnel to find out the situation of the natives before making plans after dawn.

Soon, Ouyang Yu rushed to report to Hu Zhen the information that more than 30 people had sent back from several directions: "Mr. Hu, we have already found out, there are more than 1,000 people in this group of natives in front. ”

"1,000 people! What kind of weapons are there! ”

"It's nothing more than firearms, bows and arrows, and single-shot rifles, most of which are single-shot rifles, which are well-equipped compared to the pirates and tribal armies we encountered in Africa!"

"What is the situation of the Chinese in the encirclement? Have our people been found by the natives? ”

Judging from the gunfire and firelight, the natives attacked as many as seven times, but they couldn't open a gap, and now they had to stop, probably waiting for tomorrow to see the terrain clearly before launching a general attack, and in one fell swoop, all the Chinese in the encirclement were wiped out! So far, there is no indication that the natives have found us. I would suggest that we proceed as planned, so that we do not cause unnecessary casualties in the dark. ”

Hu Zhen nodded and said, "Okay!" Even if these natives find us, because our team is far less numerous than them, the natives will not take our team seriously. If you give the order, we will still follow the original plan, in addition to sending a guard post, let everyone rest first and accumulate enough physical strength, and only at dawn tomorrow will we launch a surprise attack from behind the natives and rescue the Chinese in the encirclement in one fell swoop. ”

When Hu Zhen's armed men embarked on the return journey from Europe, only two hundred and nine graduated from the German ** school, and after crossing the Suez Canal, they killed pirates along the way and rescued many Chinese, expanding to more than 400 people, while Singapore already had more than 100 Chinese armed people recruited by Fan Qianhai, Chen Zichao and others, which suddenly expanded to more than 500 people.

In this rescue of the Nanyang Chinese bigwigs, Hu Zhen's judgment was that it was only a street fight of 3,500 people at most, and he landed with more than 500 people on his side, and it was more than enough to use only ordinary infantry weapons, so in order not to expose his family background in advance, he did not bring heavy mortars and recoilless guns except for four heavy machine guns and 20 light machine guns.

But unexpectedly, these natives actually dispatched nearly a thousand people, but Hu Zhen didn't take it to heart, according to his calculations, with the weapons in his hands and the combat effectiveness formed by sweeping the pirates over these days, his five hundred people plus the three or four hundred Chinese armed forces in the encirclement can destroy the more than 1,000 natives and horses.

These natives who suddenly launched a sneak attack were originally intended to attack after dawn tomorrow, but Chen Zichao's appearance forced the natives to attack in advance. Although the natives succeeded in the early stage and successfully blocked the tunnel escape from the mansion, the attack in the dark suffered great losses, and the continuous onslaught, except for the loss of more than 100 corpses, could not get close to the wall, so they had to tighten the encirclement, abandon the overnight attack, and wait until tomorrow after dawn to attack.

There was no more movement in the darkness of the night, but in the second half of the night, an unexpected event occurred in the gathering mansion, surrounded by natives.

Huang Zhongyi, the incense master of the Nanyang Tiandi Society, is just over 50 years old, born with a round waist and thick shoulders, and his personality is very violent and suspicious. Since the sudden attack of the natives, he suspected that it was a ploy set by Li Haoran to kill all the Chinese bosses of all factions in Nanyang, so that his Li family could control the entire Nanyang Chinese.

Huang Zhongyi quietly chatted with Zhou Dingguang, the owner of the Nanyang circle, who was in his sixties and was also a suspicious person by nature, and he was also very suspicious of what happened tonight, and felt that staying here was waiting for death. The two agreed to take their respective subordinates together to break through at night.

In the second half of the night, Huang Zhongyi and Zhou Dingguang led more than 70 subordinates to climb over the wall and quietly touch the indigenous position.

The actions of more than 70 people, although it was the middle of the night, could not hide from others at all.

The others on this side of the Chinese position didn't know what was going on, and immediately someone screamed, attracting the attention of the natives. The natives immediately lit their torches and concentrated their fire on Huang and Erren's team and opened heavy fire.
