Chapter 547: Towering Taihang (4)
"Bring the wagons over."
After disposing of Ma and Zhang, Hongqing did not stay in the big tent of the Chinese army for long, but walked out of the big tent, looked up at the dark sky, waved his hand, and gave an order in a deep voice, and more than a dozen palace guards who were guarding next to the four carriages rushed to the front of the big tent of the Chinese army.
"Unload!"
As soon as the carriage stopped, Hongqing didn't say much, just pressed his hand, and gave a solemn order, and then saw more than a dozen palace guards working together, opening the closed carriage door, and taking out weapons from inside - the first carriage was loaded with eighteen machine guns, the second carriage was full of loaded magazines, and the third carriage was loaded with dozens of mines, and the fourth carriage was taken out of the box of long-handled grenades.
"Buzz ......"
Most of Hongqing's guards were transferred from the new army, and they all participated in the battle of the Eastern Crusade, so they all knew how sharp the power of these weapons was, but no one knew what Hongqing's intention was to move out of these powerful weapons at this time, and they couldn't help but be quite curious.
"Lord Wang, this ......"
Seeing that the four carriages were loaded with weapons, not to mention that the ordinary guards were surprised, even Li Minxing, the commander of the guards, was also dumbfounded, no side, before setting off from Taiyuan, these four carriages were loaded with all kinds of Shanxi specialties, or Li Minxing personally commanded the loading of the car, this way was only two days, and it actually changed the connotation like a trick, which really made Li Minxing have a sense of confusion that the second monk was puzzled, and couldn't help but ask half of the words.
How did the weapon come about? This is a long story - as early as the "Hui Deposit Bank" shopkeeper Xiao Lufeng came to "inform", Hongqing had already noticed that the wind was not in the right direction, after several calculations, Hongqing had already guessed what Xiao Lufeng's intentions were, one, it was naturally to please, so as not to let Hongqing be ruthless to the "Hui Deposit Bank", and second, it was also in the old suspicions, so that the world thought that Hongqing and the White Lotus Sect were already immortal, if Hongqing was assassinated again, it would naturally be the handiwork of the White Lotus Sect, such a small intention, in Hongqing's view, It's really a suspicion of being smart.
Since he knew that he would inevitably be assassinated, how could Hongqing not prepare in advance, those weapons were transferred from the secret arsenal of the Ministry of Industry, and they had been secretly transported to Pingding County by the "sharp knife" more than half a month ago. Hongqing is also thinking about eating the main force of these two lords' secret forces, and under each other's calculations, whoever can have the last laugh depends on whose means are more ruthless, in order to achieve this goal, even if it is to use himself as bait, Hongqing will not hesitate.
"Oh, distribute the weapons, and the generals of each team will immediately go to the Chinese military tent to discuss the matter, and the rest of the people are not allowed to go out of the camp for half a step, nor are they allowed to make loud noises, and those who violate the order will be killed!"
Things are very cumbersome to explain, Hongqing is too lazy to waste words, and in the face of Li Minxing's questions, Hongqing just smiled indifferently, and did not give a clear explanation, but gave an order in a deep voice.
"Wow!"
Hongqing gave this order, and all the people didn't dare to slack off, and they bowed down to make a promise, and the camp suddenly became busy......
At the end of the day, the moon has set, and the sun has not yet risen, it is the darkest hour of the day, the valley is silent, even the tireless insects have stopped singing, only the peach river water is still murmuring, in the dead silence, more than a dozen black-clothed masked people quietly came out of the Baijing village, the cat waist, sneakily close to the camp where Hongqing was, quickly dispersed into several strands, peeking inside through the fence outside the camp.
In the camp built on the hillside, there was a group of dead and heavy, the campfire that had been burning in the middle of the camp had only some ashes left, only a little charcoal fire was still shining indefinitely, and the two teams of patrolmen patrolled back and forth in the camp, everything seemed so peaceful and normal, from the outside, it was really difficult to find out what was wrong.
"Crickets, crickets, crickets......"
After a group of black-clothed masked people scattered snooped for a while, they all decided that everything was normal in the camp, and each blew the whistle representing "safety", and the singing of crickets rang out one after another.
"Blow the trumpet!"
Seeing that his side had been deployed in place, but there was no reaction in the barracks, Lu Dingsheng, who was dressed in black, suddenly became proud, waved his hand in high spirits, and gave the order in a low voice.
"Woo, woo, woo......"
As soon as Lu Dingsheng gave this order, a trumpeter who followed him immediately blew the horn vigorously and issued an order for an assault.
"Rush in and kill!"
"Rush to Lao Tzu, kill!"
"Kill, don't leave a single one!"
……
With the sound of the horn, the monk on the left and Zheng Mingrui on the right issued an order to attack at the same time, and nearly a thousand people shouted in unison, rushed to the fence of the barracks quickly, slashed and slashed indiscriminately, and in an instant, they broke through the barrier of the fence and poured into the camp like a tide.
"Boom, boom, boom......"
Those who rush fast often die quickly, no, the surging crowd has just rushed into the camp, and the explosion suddenly became loud - mines, dozens of mines in the camp were stepped on almost at the same time, and the firelight exploded, countless shrapnel flew sideways, and in an instant, the bandits who rushed into the camp from three directions were blown up and howled.
"Fire!"
Before the bandits could come to their senses, they heard a loud cry, and several tents in the center of the camp were suddenly lifted from the inside, and a machine gun was revealed.
"Da Da Da ......"
Eighteen machine guns were six in each direction, and under the simultaneous fire, the bullet chain instantly weaved a huge net of death, and the bandits who had not yet woken up from the sudden explosion were immediately looted again, and in just an instant, more than 200 bandits who were scurrying around were knocked to the ground, and counting the more than 100 people who were killed and injured by the mines, the attacking enemy had broken three times out of ten, and the losses were not unheavy.
"It's not good, it's a trick, withdraw, withdraw quickly!"
"Withdraw the stockade, withdraw!"
"Damn it, withdraw!"
……
was hit by such a blow in the camp, whether it was Lu Dingsheng or Monk Yin and Zheng Mingrui, they were all in a mess, and they didn't dare to move forward again, so they all shouted and shouted and ordered to retreat, trying to retreat to Baijing Village first and then make plans.
"Attack, don't take prisoners!"
Hongqing took so much effort, what he wanted was to annihilate the enemy, and how could he let Lu Dingsheng and the others escape, seeing that the enemy was going to escape, he refused to give up, waved his hand, and gave the order coldly.
"Follow me, thief!"
Hongqing gave this order, and Li Minxing, who had already led his troops to stand by halfway up the hill for a long time, did not dare to slack off, but when he saw him jump up, he pulled out the long sword at his waist, pointed down the mountain, and led his troops down the mountain with a shout.
This is an out-and-out massacre, one side is prepared, the other side is the morale of the army is completely lost, there is no fight at all, Li Minxing's department only one of the impact down, the enemy is already crushed, leaving behind the corpses on the ground, chaotic escape into the Baijing village, in a vain attempt to rely on the barrier of the house, and the palace guards to the end.
If the palace guards only use cold weapons such as swords, relying on the barrier of the house, the bandits may really rely on the strong martial arts to fight to the death, but unfortunately the palace guards did not give the bandits such a chance at all, there are grenades and revolvers, two sharp weapons for street fighting, hiding in the house is just a good opportunity for the palace guards to easily destroy the enemy.
If the grenade explodes in the wilderness, although the power is considerable, but how huge it really is, it is not necessarily, at most it can only take care of an area of about one zhang, and it can be used in a narrow room, the lethality is amazing, a farmhouse only needs five grenades to beckon in, and it is basically over, even if the bandits hiding in it are not dead, they must be seriously injured and lose their combat effectiveness.
There are less than fifty farmhouses in Baijing Village, which can withstand the bombardment of the palace guards, and when it is dawn, except for a large courtyard made of bluestone built on the high slope that has not been breached, the rest of the farmhouses have become the remains of ruins, and the bandits hiding in them have either been blown up or killed by the palace guards, as for the prisoners, naturally there is no one.
"Report, Lord Wang, our troops are progressing smoothly, most of the invading enemies have been annihilated, the remnants of the enemy are gathered in a strong house, our army may be unfavorable to attack on the back, General Li sent his subordinates to ask the prince to make his actions clear."
The night battle is dangerous, and it is a last resort, Hongqing will not be involved in it personally, and always stands at the height of his own military camp, standing with his hands behind his back, in a relaxed and comfortable manner, even if the news from the front of the horse that the attack was blocked, he did not see Hongqing's face much easier.
"Well, let's see."
The battle has come to such a point, the overall situation has basically been decided, although there are still remnants of the enemy in the danger and stubborn resistance, but in Hongqing's opinion, it is just a grasshopper after the autumn, how can it jump to where, he didn't care, his face was calm, and he went down the mountain calmly, and went straight to the direction of Baijing Village......
