Chapter 21: Scuffle Assassination

After revealing their whereabouts, where could Huang and Erren's team still run away from the unearthed encirclement, but in half an hour, more than 40 corpses were left behind among more than 70 people, and only more than 20 people were left to retreat back to the mansion in disgrace.

Li Haoran was very annoyed, but he had to personally rush out with people to bring back the more than 20 people, but after counting, he found that Huang Zhongyi and Zhou Dingguang were nowhere to be found.

It turned out that Huang Zhongyi and Zhou Dingguang sent more than 70 subordinate people to break through to the east, but they took five or six cronies behind the brigade, and when they exchanged fire with the natives, they took advantage of the distraction of the natives and turned to the north under the cover of the dark night.

The escape of Huang Zhongyi and Zhou Dingguang made the Chinese in the encirclement disheartened, weakened the defense force in the encirclement, and worse, made the natives think that the Chinese had an attempt to break through, so they sent people to urge more men and horses to come to reinforcements, while launching a fierce attack regardless of the night.

As soon as Huang and Erren's actions began, Hu Zhen was alarmed: "What's the matter? Could it be that Chen Zichao did not complete the task, and the Chinese in the encirclement acted in advance? ”

Liang Kunri pulled out his weapon, jumped and shouted, "Shall we start fighting now!" ”

Jiang Yunfeng waved his hand and said to Hu Zhen: "Sir, this is not like the movement of hundreds of people breaking through the encirclement together!" ”

Ouyang Yu nodded beside him and said, "It seems that there are dozens of people charging at most, and they won't be able to rush back after a while!" I guess it may be that one or two Chinese factions are trying to escape without the consent of the majority! ”

Hu Zhen listened attentively for a while, and sure enough, the gunshots fell silent, and nodded: "Your judgment is correct, let's not move yet!" ”

However, after a while, the natives lit up torches, illuminated the positions on both sides, and launched a large-scale siege of the positions held by the Chinese, and there were continuous indigenous reinforcements, rushing like a long fire dragon with torches, and I don't know how many men and horses joined the siege.

For a time, the position of the Chinese was precarious.

"Looks like we're going to have to do it early!" Hu Zhen saw this clearly, turned around and said to a few cadres around him: "The original plan is going to change!" ”

Hu Zhen immediately arranged a new plan, he wanted to personally lead a hundred people to charge, luring the natives to return to attack, while the rest of the more than 400 people were divided into left flank and right flanks, ambushed on both sides, and after the natives who came to attack entered the encirclement, they suddenly attacked from the left and right flanks, flanked the natives' charging formation, and defeated them with advanced infantry weapons in their hands.

"Mr. Hu, you better stay behind and watch the battle!" Liang Kunri, Ouyang Yu, Su Wenzhen, and Jiang Yunfeng were shocked, and they all agreed that Hu Zhen would personally lead the charge in danger.

Hu Zhen knew that this was the beginning of the founding of the army, and he had to bow down to everything in order to firmly control the heart of the army in his own hands, otherwise he would really have a million army in the future, how could he control it? After listening to the words of the people, he said impatiently, "Did you order me, or did I order you?" ”

"Mr. Hu, it's better to let Jiang Yunfeng and Su Wenzhen follow you to attack!" Ouyang Yu knew that Jiang Yunfeng already had rich experience in actual combat in Borneo, and it would be reassuring for him to follow Hu Zhen, so he put forward a compromise proposal.

Hu Zhen didn't want to waste time here, so he nodded in agreement: "Okay, that's it!" Let's go our separate ways! ”

The natives concentrated all their forces on the east and stormed the Chinese lines.

Li Haoran and other Chinese bigwigs did not dare to be negligent in the slightest when life and death were at stake, and sent all their entourages out to resist desperately.

Although the rout and escape of Huang Zhongyi and Zhou Dingguang just now affected the hearts of the people, but at this moment, the great enemy is present, and all the Chinese in the encirclement know that as long as the defensive position is broken by the natives, it will either die or be more uncomfortable than death, and everyone will fight bravely. Guns, single-shot rifles, and revolvers slammed into pieces, knocking over the natives who rushed up.

But this time, the indigenous leaders seemed to be determined to capture the Chinese position, and did not take the lives of their subordinates seriously at all, and ordered the stubble to rush up after they died, as if they were going to support the surrounded Chinese to death.

Suddenly, there was a loud bang, and a large section of the fortifications that the Chinese relied on to support their defenses suddenly collapsed.

When the natives saw this, their morale was greatly boosted, and they rushed forward with a shout.

The Chinese were shocked when they saw it, and they used the guns in their hands to shoot wildly, and after fighting for most of the night, the weapons in their hands were already red, coupled with heavy casualties, the density of firepower dropped greatly, and they could not stop the dense natives rushing up.

By this time, the two sides had entered the stage of hand-to-hand combat.

The natives relied on their own people to be outnumbered, and they had been looking forward to this moment for a long time, and they were pouring like a tide into the gap that had been opened.

The Chinese understood that this was the last moment, and life and death were all in one fell swoop, and they all rushed up desperately, and suddenly the two sides scuffled and assassinated on the edge of the wall, showing a white-hot state.

Li Haoran was anxious, found Chen Zichao and asked, "Now that the situation is urgent, can you try to notify your people to attack in advance?" ”

"Ahh When I came, I had agreed to strike the natives in the back at dawn, but ...... But now ......"

Chen Zichao was very embarrassed, of course he knew that Hu Zhen had a communication weapon called wireless telegraphy in his hand, but now this could not be leaked, and it could be known to Li Haoran and others. Even if you want to send a telegram, you don't bring a wireless telegram with you, and you don't have enough means of communication, so how can you notify people outside the encirclement to act in advance?

Chen Zichao raised his head to look at the sky, only to see that there was already a trace of fish belly white and bright in the eastern sky, this was already the early stage of dawn, he comforted Li Haoran with great certainty: "Master Li Xiang, don't worry, Mr. Hu must have led his troops to act at this time, maybe he will hear their movements soon!" ”

Li Haoran was speechless for a long time, he didn't want to ask anything, seeing that the gap in the wall was in full swing, and seeing that the natives were about to rush into the mansion, he pulled out his revolver and personally rushed up with the last few entourages, and Chen Zichao also rushed up.

Near the gap in the wall, the two sides engaged in fierce hand-to-hand combat, and in the hoarse scuffle, the smell of blood rose to the sky, and the number of natives increased, but the number of Chinese casualties became smaller and smaller.

Control of the battlefield gradually tilted in favor of the indigenous side, and the Chinese felt that their next moment had come. Even Chen Zichao felt that he might be able to explain here today.

While both sides were concentrating on a fierce battle near the gap in the wall, a dense burst of gunfire was suddenly heard from the east of the indigenous positions.

At this time, the men and horses commanded by Hu Zhen finally entered the position and began to move.
