Chapter Thirty-Eight: The Poor Dagger
Guqin's explanation can be regarded as reassuring to Chai Baochen. Chai Baochen, www.biquge.info of the pen %fun %pavilion, thought that what she said was very reasonable, and said softly: "I blame you for it." The Wako will certainly not expose themselves, and they will definitely go around and around when they take you down the mountain. You go ahead and lead the way. ”
"Yes, sir!" Guqin said.
Next, the guqin is like a different person, walking neatly, no longer around the bend, and the pace is faster, although walking on the mountain road, it is still like flying. Chai Baochen just wanted to hurry to the Japanese stronghold, and did not notice this change in the guqin.
The night was very quiet, Chai Baochen and his party tried not to make a sound, their steps were steady, and they soon bypassed the three hills and came to the vicinity of the Japanese stronghold.
It is a col surrounded by mountains on three sides, and many houses have been built along the hillside, as well as some makeshift thatched huts. At night, the temperature in the mountains is not high, and it is still a little cold. In the center of the stronghold, a bonfire was blazing, flickering and sometimes bursting into the night sky. Two soldiers sat by the campfire with spears in hand, their backs leaning on their backs, as if asleep.
Chai Baochen knew that he was going to act quickly, and it was best not to alarm the Japanese and mountain bandits. He lowered his voice and said, "Leave one person here to protect Guqin, and the rest of me will go down with me to find out where Wei Su was imprisoned and act when the opportunity arises." ”
Guqin raised his head and said "hey", and was stopped by the soldiers. Chai Baochen quietly walked towards the col with the remaining nineteen soldiers. The two soldiers approached the campfire, and they moved over one small step at a time. When they got to the sentry, the two soldiers looked at each other and nodded, they pulled out their knives from their calves, and at the same time cut at the sentry's throat, almost at the same time the other hand only covered the sentry's mouth, and clamped the sentry tightly, and the two sentries struggled a little before softening to the ground. Eliminated the Sentinels.
The rest of the soldiers went from house to house in search. They leaned by the window and listened carefully, and if there was a snoring sound, it was the residence of the pirates and bandits. Soon, they found a place to stay, and a slight sigh could be heard from inside. A soldier waved his hand at Chai Baochen, and Chai Baochen leaned to the window and listened, it was Wei Su's voice. He cautiously raised his head again, looked inside through the open window, and saw Wei Su lying on the bed with his hands tied and his back hunched. She was sobbing quietly.
Chai Baochen couldn't see the inside of the house clearly, and the moonlight was not particularly bright after all. He was about to push the door when he found General Tie holding the door! It seems that only Wei Su himself is in the room. He asked the soldier to open the door.
I saw a soldier take out two copper wires from the strap of his calf, insert them into the keyhole one by one, and gently flick it inside, and with a "bang", the lock opened. Wei Su also heard this voice, she turned around and looked out the door, not knowing which mountain bandit was going to come in in the middle of the night. She was terrified and trembling.
The other soldiers were guarding outside, and Chai Baochen walked in and whispered, "Wei Su, it's me." ”
Hearing this familiar voice, Wei Su's heart was about to melt. How is this possible, I was just caught in the morning and rescued in the evening, it's unbelievable.
"Brother Baochen." A gentle call is worth a thousand words. Wei Su's hands were tied, otherwise, she would definitely give Chai Baochen an affectionate hug.
Chai Baochen used a knife to untie the rope that bound Wei Su, and then pulled her to walk out. At this time, more than a dozen sharp arrows tied to fire oil shot into the thatch on the roof, and in an instant, the house was bright. The thatch burned wildly when it met the fire, and it made a sound of peeling and peeling.
"Oh no, let's get out of the house." Chai Baochen knew that the situation had changed, and hurriedly ordered the soldiers to hide.
Hulala, arrows were shot at Chai Baochen and others in the woods, many arrows fell outside the door, some pierced into the wooden wall, and some shot into the room through the window, and the soldiers waved knives to resist.
The moon shines on the earth, the night wind howls, the wind helps the fire, and the fire is long and mighty. The sound of arrows and the sound of the wind swept through my ears like a symphony of death, and the flames danced to continue this last rage.
Chai Baochen's soldiers began to panic, it was raining arrows outside, and they would be shot like hedgehogs when they went out, and they would not be able to hide in thatched houses, and they would burn themselves to death after a long time. Chai Baochen knew that he was calculated by the Japanese Kou tonight! I wondered what went wrong. Xindao: How could the Wako have thought that we would find this place? Chai Baochen asked himself over and over again, in fact, he already knew the answer, the guqin was weird! It's just that he doesn't want to believe it. If Guqin really betrayed me, then did the soldier in charge of protecting him still have a chance to return to the city to ask for help, or had he already been plotted?
The most important thing now is to break through, and we can't sit idly by. Everyone rushed out together, and maybe there was a glimmer of life. Chai Baochen ordered: "Break through!" ”
The soldiers of the Shenji Company are well-trained in peacetime, and they never compromise on obeying orders. They know that tonight is a situation where there is no life or death, but it is worth dying only by completing the task. Many soldiers rushed out, and they rolled on the spot, running and jumping, dodging the arrows. Some of them were hit by an arrow and killed instantly. Some were hit by an arrow in the arm, but they were fine. Some were hit by an arrow in the leg and limped to other thatched huts to take refuge. They attracted some of the Japanese attack.
At the same time, Chai Baochen ordered the soldiers around him to set fire to the direction where the arrows were fired, this trick was really effective, and a few people died on the side of the Japanese Kou, and there was a terrible scream.
Taking advantage of the favorable opportunity that had just suppressed the enemy's firepower, the soldiers surrounded the city, and Chai Baochen and Wei Su moved with the soldiers in the middle of the circle. They walked quickly to the back of the other houses to take refuge. The soldier was still holding a firecracker.
This col is a place where mountain bandits are entrenched, and no one usually comes to provoke drunken centipedes, so they chose this stronghold in this place surrounded by mountains on three sides, warm in winter and cool in summer. However, this kind of terrain is not conducive to retreat, and Chai Baochen can only fight back head-on, but cannot retreat.
The Japanese soldiers in the village did not use bows and arrows well, and only used Japanese swords. So the task of archery was given to the bandits under the drunken centipede. The village commanded the mountain bandits to shoot arrows, and some of the mountain bandits were not skilled, and often shot the arrows crookedly or slowly. From time to time, the village beat the bandits with a rope. These mountain bandits were very annoyed in their hearts, they couldn't eat the food they had robbed, and they had to help them fight. It's okay to play tricks in front of the people on weekdays, but now I'm forced by the village to form a bond with the government, and I don't know if there will be any life in the future. In case the Japanese are gone, won't these mountain bandits become the punching bag of the government? Coupled with the fact that their bodies were pulled by the village with a rope, their resentment was even greater.
There was a mountain bandit who was so tired from pulling the bow and stringing that his hands were weak, and suddenly the bow and arrow were not set up properly, and the arrow fell to the ground. Seeing this scene, Murakita stepped forward and said in broken Chinese, "Waste, are you tired?" At the same time, he vigorously pulled the bandit with a rope and stomped on his face with his foot. The other bandits stopped to shoot their arrows, and they turned their heads to watch their brother being brutally beaten by the little man called the village. A few mountain bandits stood up and tried to stop the village, but before they could pass, the village had already pointed at their noses and scolded: "Pigs, a group of pigs!" Don't shoot arrows yet! ”
Just a short moment after the mountain bandits stopped shooting arrows, the soldiers of the Shenji Company quickly rushed to the place where the village was, and they wanted to fight to the end. Chai Baochen pulled Wei Su towards the night.
Murashita was furious, and he shouted, "Shoot! At the same time, he drew the sword at his waist and was about to stab at the bandits at his feet, and he wanted to kill the disobedient people to establish his authority. All this is seen by the drunken centipede. It was precisely because of the presence of the drunken centipede that the other mountain bandits did not immediately fight with the village, and they looked at the drunken centipede with expectant eyes, as if to say: "What are you doing with this kind of person?" Will there be glory and wealth? ”
As soon as the drunken centipede turned around, he saw that there were only more than fifty Japanese robbers behind him, and the rest of the Japanese had already descended the mountain, and they marched towards Ningbo City and attacked the city. The drunken centipede rolled his eyes, he was still the most reliable of his own brothers, and if he lost the support of his brothers, the Japanese would not take him seriously, and then he might be the one who was trampled under the feet of the village.
Just when the murata's knife was about to be inserted into the mountain bandit's chest, the drunken centipede took out the centipede scissors from his waist, and the wind was blowing under his feet, like a thousand-legged centipede, quickly approaching the village, and a scissor penetrated the village's chest!
Murashita turned his head to look at the drunken centipede, unable to believe that he would be killed by one of his men in such a simple way. He looked down at the centipede scissors inserted into his chest, and then at the drunken centipede, bleeding from his mouth. He smiled and said, "Yours has no credit." At the same time, the wrist of the right hand was reversed, and the head of the knife flew towards the drunken centipede, and the drunken centipede was startled, and said in his heart, "Not good!" He hurriedly turned and ran, but the knife was still stuck in his ass. The drunken centipede screamed in pain, lying on the ground and unable to get up.
Murashita fell to the ground, his eyes were wide open, he was already dead, I don't know if he saw the drunken centipede fall to the ground when he died. The sudden assassination of the village attracted the attention of the fifty Japanese soldiers. They quickly killed and fought with the bandits. How could the mountain bandits be the opponents of the Japanese soldiers, and soon, one by one, the mountain bandits fell to the ground. When the drunken centipede saw it, he knew that no matter how painful his butt was, he would have to fight, otherwise he would be chopped into meat puree by the Japanese soldiers.
He pulled out the knife and the wound was on the left buttocks, so he covered the buttocks with his left hand. With a centipede scissor in one right hand, he fought with the Japanese soldiers. His moves are already very similar to centipedes, and at this time, one hand is still behind him, and his body twists and twists when he fights, which is particularly weird.
Not long after, the soldiers of the Shenji Company also came up. They don't care about the Japanese soldiers or the mountain bandits, they are stupid when they see people. The drunken centipede was so shrewd, when he saw it, he immediately shouted: "Master Jun, I am the head of the mountain bandits, we will help you kill the widows!" Don't kill innocents! He shouted a few times in a row, and the soldiers of the Shenji Company saw that the drunken centipede was indeed fighting with the Japanese soldiers, so he was suspicious and picked the Japanese soldiers to fight first. Sure enough, the other bandits listened to the drunken centipede's words and only fought with the Japanese soldiers.
You know, this is the base camp of the mountain bandits, and the number of mountain bandits is seventy. Coupled with the surviving dozen soldiers of the Shenji Company, all of them are heroes in a hundred battles. Moreover, the leader of the Japanese soldiers, Murashita, has been killed, and they are now scattered, and soon there will be a disadvantage.
After a while, the Japanese soldiers were slaughtered cleanly. Chai Baochen and Wei Su hid in the woods and saw the process of the battle clearly, and they walked out now. There were only twelve soldiers left in the Shenji Company, and they quickly gathered around Chai Baochen. Chai Baochen said to the deputy company commander Chen Fu: "Have you found Guqin and the soldier who protected him?" ”
Chen Fu said: "The subordinates have already looked for the place where they were hiding just now, and our people are dead, with fatal knife wounds in their backs. The guqin is gone. ”
Chai Baochen clenched his fists and thought: The soldier responsible for protecting the guqin had a fatal knife wound in his back, and he must have been attacked. And who else can sneak attack him besides Guqin!
At this time, the thatched hut suddenly collapsed, and the heat wave hit, and everyone felt that the autumn night no longer seemed to be cool, and it was stuffy.
