Chapter 205: Three Million Rounds of Ammunition (2)
The heavy rain came down, and it was sunny for a short time in the middle, but it soon crackled again, and this time it was an intermittent day, and the road that is usually not easy to walk with the unexpected arrival of this rain is even more difficult to walk, but even if the road is difficult to walk, these boys in the army still have to move forward little by little, after all, military law is ruthless! The Great Qin Dynasty, which had the strongest military force in China, delayed its trip because of the heavy rain and could not let the military law be accommodating, so Chen Sheng and Wu Guang were two hooligans
The convoy transporting ammunition was covered with straw and various mulches, and the escort officer Yu Ze and the escort officer Yang Hua and the two people with huge hats and robes were like chickens in soup, directing the team to move forward slowly.
When it doesn't rain, these people still seem to feel a little stuffy, stuffy and hot, a little weirder than the icy and snowy Central Plains, but this pouring rain, it is really cold and cold, the cold air is like a blood-sucking leech around the thick clothes, along the pores of the skin, directly into the bones, cold you can't stand on your feet and only shiver.
", this ghost weather is really getting weirder and weirder, like the sky is leaking!" Yang Hua twisted his soaked clothes and said indignantly.
Yu Ze loudly reprimanded the guys in front of him who wanted to be lazy, and said: "As long as you kid sends a telegram to Lord Chang of Jiujiang, we will be relieved when we arrive in Jiujiang!" ”
Yang Hua said: "Look at what you said, how can I forget this?" You can rest assured, I sent two copies of the telegram in a row, the first one was to ask him to arrange a place to live after arriving in Jiujiang, and after half an hour, I sent the second one saying that these ammunition were stored in him first according to Li Houye's wishes! ”
Yu Ze nodded with satisfaction and said, "You kid, you do it beautifully!" When he sent someone to receive it, let's leave quickly, and when he reminisced, when he wanted to trouble us again, the brothers would have already left the ground in Jiujiang. ”
"Haha." Yang Hua said with a smile: "Brother is still your heart, if you change your brother, it will definitely not work." After this time is done, the elder brother will be promoted to at least one level, and he will be released to be the town guard, and at that time, he will have to promote the younger brother. ”
Yu Ze was very happy to hear this, picked up the small wine jug, drank a few sips and handed it over, and said, "Our brother said that these are not outside, take it, drink some wine, and warm your body." ”
Yang Hua took the wine jug, took a sip, and said with some complaints: "This rain makes people's hearts cold, doesn't it mean that you are going to Jiujiang soon, why can't you see a little popular place until now?" ”
Yu Ze said: "Who knows, this road is twisted and twisted, when it doesn't rain, it's not good to walk for an hour to walk six or seven miles, this rain is estimated to not even be able to walk five miles, it's really disgusting!" ”
"Brother, why don't you urge the brothers, maybe there is something in front of you that can shelter from the wind and rain, and everyone can rest?" Yang Hua had just wried a lot of clothes and was soaked by the rain again, and he was so that his whole body was about to be soaked by the rain, if he didn't find a place to clean up, it was estimated that he wouldn't be able to walk.
Yu Ze said: "It's okay, when I looked at the map just now, wasn't there a small town in front of us that we could stay?" We're almost done when we calculate the time. Saying that, he and Yang Hua scolded loudly again, and when they heard that there was a small town in front of them to shelter from the rain, the whole convoy suddenly accelerated the pace of moving forward, although it was much faster than when it had to rain.
"Brother, look, look, there's a small town in front of you, you can let the brothers rest for a while, this damn weather really tortures people!" Yang Hua looked at the outline of a small town exposed in the smoke and rain in front of him, and immediately took out the telescope on his neck to look in the direction of the front, and the picture presented in the mirror showed the appearance of the town in front of him, this is not a dilapidated town, there are women and Taoists who come out with umbrellas to buy and sell in the pouring rain, which can be seen its prosperous side, after they arrive in the town, in addition to sheltering from the rain, maybe they can also have some wine, and go to this bad luck!
Yu Ze took the telescope and looked ahead, his face couldn't help but be greatly shocked, and he immediately shouted: "Stop now, stop now!" ”
"Brother, what's wrong? Stop and do something, the town in front of you is about to arrive. Yang Hua asked puzzled.
Yu Ze glared at him, threw away the telescope in his hand, and immediately ran to the front of the convoy, opened his arms, and shouted hoarsely: "Stop, stop me, go to the woods just now to take refuge, quickly!" ”
The men in the escort convoy were stunned for a moment, and then couldn't help but shout with some anger: "Your Excellency, even if you are the escort officer, you can't do this, the brothers are drenched in heavy rain......"
Before he could finish speaking, there was a pop, and a bullet burrowed out of his Celestial Spirit Cover, and then fell to the ground with a thud, and the rest of the convoy panicked.
Yu Ze blew the smoking muzzle of the gun and said: "I am the escort officer, everything is obeyed by me, immediately all the staff will hide in the grove, if you don't obey the order, you will be killed!" ”
This is Yang Hua also walked over with a blue face, and said to the men: "There is an army ahead, I don't know if it is surnamed Yuan or Cai, so we should be careful." ”
After listening to Yang Hua's story, the men didn't have time to panic, turned the car around one by one, and rushed into the grove at an unprecedented speed.
Sure enough, soon there was a sound of horses' hooves, and an army rushed over fiercely, looking at their high morale, neat pace, and the number of people in the vertical and horizontal directions, it could at least be concluded that this was the elite force of a regiment.
Yang Hua couldn't help but gasp, when he met such a team, relying on these dozens of men in his hands, it was really more troublesome than not killing a group of chickens, and fortunately these people let Yu Ze see it, otherwise the consequences would be really unimaginable. Thinking of this, Yu Ze suddenly became his backbone and pillar, and he immediately asked, "Brother, what if these people are killed?" ”
Yu Ze said coldly: "Let's see who these people are first, but don't worry too much, these people want our bullets, as long as the bullets are in our hands, they won't dare to make a mistake!" ”
Sure enough, just like Yu Ze said, after these soldiers were stopped by the loud voices of the man hiding in the woods, a tall man immediately stood out from among the soldiers, and rode over on a tall white horse with a big stab.
"Smack~!"
A crisp gunshot sounded in front of the big white horse's hooves, the big white horse was frightened and panicked for a moment, the big man pulled the reins again and again, and the big white horse turned two or three times before gradually calming down, but the big man's face looked a little unhappy, and said, "Who are you?" How dare you intercept the imperial court's materials? ”
Dahan shouted: "Lao Tzu is Lin Bao, the head of the reinforcement regiment under the command of Chang Zhenbang, the guard of Jiujiang Town!" At the behest of the lord, he came to meet with the two adults, Yuze escort officer Yang Hua escort officer, and received three million rounds of bullets! ”
Yang Hua said happily to Yu Ze: "Brother, Lord Chang has come to pick us up, and we finally don't have to suffer in this strange world." ”
Yu Ze was not as happy as he showed, but his face was even more heavy: "Brother, be more mature, they say that they are Lord Chang's army, are they?" I said I am Emperor Yuan, why don't you believe it? Tell them to come up with evidence! ”
Yang Hua was stunned for a moment, then lowered his head in shame and shouted outside: "Do you think I will believe what I say with white teeth?" Come up with some convincing evidence! ”
Lin Bao said angrily: "Lao Tzu said one thing and another, you fucking dare to doubt Lao Tzu!" Believe it or not, Lao Tzu gave an order to destroy you dogs! ”
"Smack, smack!"
Two more gunshots rang out to give him an answer.
Lin Bao said angrily: "If you don't want to admit it, even if Lord Chang comes in person, you can't accept it, and if you have the ability, you can write a note to Lao Tzu who refuses to hand it over, and Lao Tzu will leave without ambiguity!" ”
"Write it!" Yu Ze shouted loudly, and soon a man walked out of the grove with a strip of cloth with handwriting on it and handed it to Lin Bao.
Lin Bao unceremoniously took the strip of cloth, patted his horse and turned away, and the troops he brought over also followed his departure, the front team changed to the back team, and the back team changed to the front team, and went violently.
Yang Hua saw the departure of these soldiers from the binoculars, and asked with some puzzlement: "Brother, looking at their appearance should be real, why did you really write a note to let them go." ”
Yu Ze stretched out his finger and pointed to the ground and said, "My brother, don't think about it, what kind of place is this?" The wilderness is really handed over, and they immediately don't admit it, what can we do? Naturally, the more grand the handover is made, even if it is not grand, it must be known as much as possible, so that we will have less trouble. Especially those of us who go out on errands, we can't be wrong with multiple hearts. ”
When Yang Hua heard this, he couldn't help but nodded, and turned around to beckon these men to continue walking, but was interrupted by Yu Ze again: "It's still raining on this god, so I have to let the brothers rest more!" Yang Hua asked, "Brother, hurry up and take a few steps, and when you get to the town, find a clean and dry place to rest, isn't it?" Yu Ze said: "This matter is not in a hurry, you immediately send two people out to see if the guy named Lin Bao is really going or fake, if he is really leaving, we might as well set off, if it is fake, we have to be ready to fight." When Yang Hua heard this, he immediately understood what was going on, and his admiration for Yu Ze in his heart was even more devastating, at first he thought that he was one rank higher than himself because of pure luck, but now it seems that he is lucky to be the first rank above him.
After more than an hour, the rain gradually became as big as a cow's hair, and the two men who had been sent out to investigate the situation finally returned, and said, "Two lords, those soldiers have walked cleanly, and it is said that they have withdrawn to the mouth of the lake!" ”
As soon as Yang Hua heard this, he immediately grabbed a man and said, "How far is the town ahead?" ”
"It's about half an hour away."
Yang Hua was very happy when he heard this, turned his head to Yu Ze and said, "Brother, should we leave now?" ”
Yu Ze thought for a while and said, "It's okay, Yang Hua, you take some of the brothers to the town to rest first, and then come to replace the rest of us when you are rested!" ”
Yang Hua said: "Since those people are gone, it is better to ......"
"Be careful to make the Ten Thousand Year Ship!" Yu Ze said: "If something goes wrong on this errand, none of you and my brother and our family will survive, brother, you can listen to my brother again!" ”
Yang Hua nodded, and picked a third of the men who were relatively old, weak, and sick to go to the town in front.
Looking at their distant figures, Yu Ze said sadly: "Brother is not a brother who wants to trap you, there is a way that is not afraid of thieves stealing but afraid of thieves, what can't these people do for these bullets?" My brother is also a family person, so I can't be too risky, if I can see you alive, my brother will definitely come to your door in person to take the blame, if you don't come back, I will take care of your newly married little daughter-in-law! As he spoke, he asked the remaining men under his command to quickly get up and pack up, escort the bullets and go back, and go straight to Jiujiang from another path.
These men were originally full of resentment about walking in the rain, not to mention that others braved the rain to go to the town, but some of them had to escort so many ammunition and materials back in the rain, and as soon as the order was passed down, it immediately exploded and made a fuss, Yu Ze had already bribed a few cronies with a small favor among these men, and with the help and persuasion of these cronies, under the deterrence of shooting and killing, these men finally recognized the form in front of them, turned the carriage and began to walk back.
The rain gradually decreased, but the mud and puddles on the road were more thrilling than when they walked over just now, but this is also a helpless thing, there is rain and stagnant water, whether you go forward or backward is the same fate, but this feeling of going back is really uncomfortable.
It didn't take long for a man to fall into the muddy water with a pop, and someone immediately rushed over to help him up, who knew that Yu Ze saw it, plucked a branch from the tree on the side, and hit these people's heads, saying: "Hurry back and give me a cart, it's better to find a place to stay as soon as possible than anything else!" ”
The man who had been beaten by him stood up tremblingly, glared at Yu Ze fiercely, and slowly pushed forward next to the escort car.
"Hurry, hurry, hurry!"
In order to facilitate the management of these men, Yu Ze asked his cronies to join the queue of overseers, these men who had just followed the brothers and complained for a long time once they became overseers, they were immediately like a different person, and the men who played those carts didn't care at all, if anyone wanted to stop doing it, they would either be beaten to death by these overseers, or they would be shot by Yu Ze, anyway, the escort was three million rounds of bullets, and it didn't take much to kill these men. It's a big deal to wait until he arrives in a densely populated place to recruit a new batch, I believe that as long as he can safely transport these goods to Li Houye, there will only be rewards and no penalties on it!
Such a brutal act made the men dare to be angry and dare not speak, so they had to push the escort car slowly forward, the speed was almost unprecedentedly slow, but no one stopped, this attitude made Yu Ze feel a little relieved.
"Smack~!"
With a heart-wrenching gunshot, a menacing cavalry rushed from a distance.
Yu Ze yelled that it was not good, Lao Tzu fell for these turtle sons. Just about to stop the men from counterattacking, they were knocked to the ground by the men in charge of the escort, those overseers wanted to come forward to help, but after all, they were outnumbered, and the lucky ones were also punched and kicked by these escort men, and those who were unlucky were killed by these cavalry who rushed over almost immediately.
"Surrender on your knees! Death to the rebels! ”
The cavalry shouted slogans and rushed over with swords, as long as they saw people standing up, it was a knife, and it was a pity that those men who didn't have time to kneel, but it was even more pity that those men who knelt down were also very high, and they were also killed by these horsemen without saying anything.
"Bastard~!" Yu Ze finally got rid of the entanglement of these men, and just as he was about to stand up, he saw a cavalry rushing over, and when he went up, he cut off Yu Ze's head.
As soon as Yu Ze died, the dragons were leaderless, those overseers, and the escorts lost their fighting spirit, and they knelt in the muddy puddles like lost dogs, on the road, as for the guys who fled in the wilderness, they forgot that the two-legged ones could not run on four legs, let alone the bullets without legs, but fortunately, the rain gradually became heavier, and the rich blood was quickly diluted.
Soon, a dark horse came over slowly, and immediately sat a young man, who was the guard of Jiujiang Town, Chang Zhenbang, the first-class viscount of the Chinese Empire. He was followed by seven or eight retinues
"My lord, what to do with these people!" A cavalryman hurried over and scorned.
Chang Zhenbang glanced at it and said, "Let it go, God has the virtue of a good life!" ”
"But ......," Zhang Xiaoliu said with some doubts: "What if these people leak the news?" ”
"What are you afraid of, our iron-boned heroes of the Protector Army are not even afraid of Yuan Shikai, the puppet emperor, afraid of these miscellaneous soldiers?" Chang Zhenbang said proudly.
"Yes, I understand!" Zhang Xiaoliu rode a horse to these prisoners who kowtowed and begged for mercy, and said: "Today, our new hero will let you go, if you dare to help the evil and work for Yuan Shikai's son of a bitch, Lao Tzu will definitely not spare you next time!" Get lost! ”
As soon as these captives heard that they let them go, they got up from the muddy water one after another, bowed to Chang Zhenbang a few times, and fled in all directions like mud monkeys!
Before these people could run far, some cavalry chased after them and slashed and killed, so frightened that these people even spread their legs and ran for their lives. The cavalry, which seemed to be exhausted, did not pursue it further.
Chang Zhenbang said lightly: "The dead are buried, and then these ammunition will be buried on the spot and transported back to the Jiujiang warehouse in batches, and you will be responsible for this matter, Xiaoliu!" When it's done, you'll be my Adjutant General! ”
