Chapter 345: Annihilation
If it is simply a combination of bandits in western Liaoning, even if it has an advantage in numbers, it is difficult to say whether the rabble will win or lose against this loyal army and horse team. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info but when four hundred mercenaries were added to the attackers, as well as two battalions of armed guards, the situation was completely different.
Zhao Guanhou was in the middle of the team and encountered these two battalion soldiers. The officers who led the troops were Ren Sheng and Zhang Huaizhi, and Cao Zhongkun and Li Xiushan also brought escorts, in addition, Huo Qiu also brought Mini rifle sentry.
Cao Li and the others are the establishment of the Wuwei Right Army, and it is a big crime to disobey Xu Juren's military order, but Cao Zhongkun said disdainfully: "The big deal is dismissal, and he Lao Xu still dares to cut off my head for this?" We are our own brothers, and if you don't help with your affairs, then what are you worshipping brothers? We've got you covered. ”
Ren Sheng was more explicit: "Our Huaijun praises his son-in-law, not Xu Donghai." If he provoked us, he pulled the team back to Shandong, leaving him as a bare-pole governor to see what he could do. This time, we pulled out three two-pounder guns to see if the loyal soldiers could stand up to it. ”
The emphasis of the Loyal and Righteous Army was on mobility, and some people even had two horses and a team of 400 people, with more than 600 horses. However, there was a lack of heavy weapons, only two old sow cannons, which were completely incapable of competing with the two-pounder cannon. Zhao Guanhou knocked out the Loyal Righteous Army Ranger Post with the Minnie rifle whistle, and then there was a one-sided onslaught.
Three two-pounder cannons were fired one after another, and the balls landed on the shack, smashing through the thin roof and falling into the house, turning the crude furniture into pieces. Another shell entered through the door panel, turning the upper body of the gun-wielding gun head hiding behind the door into a mass of minced meat.
Relying on the superiority of troops, the attackers attacked from all sides, and the guns and bullets hit like splashing water. The thin walls of the shack were not bulletproof, and bullets drilled through the walls, shooting into people, frantically sucking flesh and blood. The man who was shot rolled on the ground wailing and letting out a heart-rending scream.
The people in the green forest are accustomed to smashing the kiln, and when they set off, they brought fire oil, poured oil and set fire, and carried out very skillfully. The flames soared into the air, making the shack no longer usable as a cover, and everyone had to get out of it, suffering from the rain of bullets in the absence of cover.
"Press out! Press it out! Liu Danzi carried a revolver in each hand, and with each shot, an enemy would fall to the ground. But this is of little significance to the overall situation, the enemy is outnumbered, and at this time, it is obvious that we cannot fight hard. The loyal and righteous army moved from Jilin to Shengjing, relying on horse speed. These men were of good quality, and although they were defeated, they were able to organize resistance and move towards the horses.
The screams of the men and the cries of the women sounded in the wind, it was the women of the loyal army who fell into the hands of these attackers. Liu Danzi's heart sank, he knew what happened to women falling into the hands of these people, the daughters-in-law of his two good brothers were in the team, and he didn't know how they were now......
His beloved black cone horse, desperately protected by bodyguards, is the key to escape at this time. Liu Danzi flew onto his mount, but the loyal bodyguard shook violently and fell to the side. In the distance, war horses neighed, and a cavalry dressed in bright armor and wielding sabers shouted to kill.
They are not bandits, bandits will never be able to form such a formation, under the wielding of the swords, the horse team of the loyal army scattered and avoided, and was slashed by the swords.
Officers and soldiers, officers and soldiers! Liu Danzi's eyes were red, he raised his gun, and aimed at the opposite side, but a stray bullet hit him in the distance, hitting his left arm, and as soon as his arm hurt, the pistol was out of sight, but this shot was missed.
He knew that he could not do anything, so he had to urge his mount and lead the troops away. Only the unfamiliar sound of drums and trumpets was heard, and in all directions, groups of soldiers with rifles were lined up in a phalanx, blocking the way for the team to break through. No matter how the cubs under his command hit with horses, those people also maintained the formation, and they were not afraid of horses at all. And their rifles shot these loyal knights mercilessly.
In addition to the bullets, the officers and soldiers also threw something that Liu Danzi had never seen before, and each time they were thrown, they could explode, often knocking down one or two people, or one or two horses. Compared to the kind of iron ball used by the Tiele people, this thing is obviously much more convenient and powerful. Those heroes who fought against the Tiele people did not die in the hands of foreigners, but at this time they fell under the guns of their own people. The loyal army has become less and less, and even foreigners can be seen in the ranks of the attackers.
These fierce foreign soldiers are obviously much more superb than the big noses they have seen before, the marksmanship is accurate, and the formation is tight, and the horse team of the loyal and righteous army encounters them, and as soon as they come into contact, they are defeated and embarrassed. Seeing that the troops on all sides were getting tighter and tighter, but the charging effect of the horse team was not obvious, Liu Danzi had a feeling in his heart for the first time, the sky was going to kill me.
The horses' hooves kicked up the snow, and the two fast horses broke through the layers of barriers, like fish that had broken through a net, and were about to escape from the pursuit of the fishmen. Tie Hu and Feng Xi are two horses, while Ma Guojie is in front of the road. Ma Guojie, who had received a certain amount of military training, found that the situation was not right as soon as he fought, there were too many enemies, and those two-pounder cannons were obviously not weapons that bandits could have.
Since he chose to break through at the beginning, he walked relatively easily, but most of the subordinates who came with Tiehu couldn't leave. Tiehu hugged Feng Xi tightly in his arms and comforted: "Don't be afraid, sister, don't be afraid, when my eldest brother has a good territory, we will be safe." Let's run out and it's fine, with Brother Huzi, those bad guys won't touch a finger of you. ”
Behind him, the sound of horses' hooves and the neighing of war horses was getting closer, and it was clear that a pursuer had come up. The neighing sound of the horse, Feng Xi couldn't be more familiar, was it him? He...... Are you here to catch yourself back? Her mind was so confused that she didn't know who to side with, or even how to deal with the problem at hand.
She suddenly said: "It's not fast to walk with one horse and two straddles, Brother Huzi, you put me down, you go quickly." ”
"What do you say? Can I throw you down and run away, live together, die, die together. I don't believe it! ”
Iron Tiger punched the horse in the back of the crotch, and the horse wailed, and ran faster, but it was too far from the foot strength of the pursuers to help solve the problem, and the pursuers were getting closer and closer to them.
"Damn, I'm fighting with him!" Tie Hu pulled out the revolver in his waist, held Feng Xi in one hand, turned around on the horse, and aimed the gun at the pursuers behind him. But just when his hand was about to touch the bolt, a strong force came from his arms, and he was hit and fell backwards without any defense, and rolled off the horse with Feng Xi, and fell far away on the snow.
At the moment of falling off the horse, Feng Xi's hand buckled Tie Hu's hand fiercely, Tie Hu only felt a pain in his hand, the revolver fell out, and when he stood up, Feng Xi had already grabbed the revolver in his hand, but she was aiming at her head.
"Sir...... You let them go! You let them go, I'll go with you! If you chase after me, I'll shoot myself in the head. She trembled, and shouted at Tiehu again: "Brother Huzi, you run!" Forget me, I'm his person, I have to live with him, we have no hope in this life. From today onwards, we are strangers, so let's go. Come on! ”
Sun Meiyao and more than a dozen cavalrymen had already caught up, the long and short spears were raised, and Tiehu and Ma Guojie turned back to fight back, naturally unlucky. Zhao Guanhou waved his hand and stopped everyone. "Fengxi, you put the gun down, I didn't come to arrest you back, I asked you a word. If you're willing to go with them, I won't stop you, and if you're willing to stay, I won't push them out. So you have a good word for me today, whether to go with them or with me. For your sake, no matter how you choose, I will let the two of them live today. You put the gun down first, I'm afraid that thing will go off. ”
Zhao Guanhou waved the whip, and Feng Xi subconsciously put down the pistol, extremely tame. Zhao Guanhou nodded and said, "Really obedient, come, lead a horse for her." If you want to get along with your old friend, ride to his side, and no one will know anyone from now on. If you want to come back, run over here, you're still the big girl in my room. Where to go, pick for yourself. ”
One of the horsemen dismounted and handed the reins to Feng Xi, who held the reins but didn't know where to go. Tiehu shouted at her, "Girl, come here, go quickly!" Ma Guojie also said anxiously: "Sister, what are you hesitating about, let's go!" His pistol was held high, but he knew in his heart that his two guns were useless.
Feng Xi looked at Zhao Guanhou and said, "Master, you ...... Do you want me? ”
"As I said, I'm not here to arrest people, but to see how you choose. Each of us has the right to make our own choices, and no one can take it away. If you really want to leave by yourself, I will definitely fulfill you, and if you want to come back, I have nothing to say. You cook well, I like to eat it, it's hard to find a reliable chef these days. ”
Feng Xi was amused by him and wanted to laugh, looked back at his brother, and his eyes fell on Tie Hu's head again. Tiehu hurriedly said: "Hurry up, don't be confused, he won't be able to leave if he wants to change his hexagram in a while." Come here, I'll take you away. ”
"Brother Huzi, what am I going to do after I leave with you?"
"What? Be my daughter-in-law, we both have finished the happy event, and naturally we will start a family, be a husband and wife, and have children. In the future, I will let you live a good life. ”
Ma Guojie also said: "Dad is gone, I can be your master, your marriage was decided by my father, and you shouldn't regret it." Lord Zhao, if you let me go today, I made a note of it, and the next time we meet, I will let you go once and return you the favor. ”
Feng Xi shook his head, "Big brother, Brother Huzi, I'm sorry." The old man said that in these years, it is too difficult to find a suitable cook, and it is very easy to find a daughter-in-law who will give birth to you and do housework. After she said this, she flew on her horse and ran towards Zhao Guanhou, and behind her, Tiehu roared......
The fire in the Black Dragon Ridge gradually went out, and the excited bandits were sharing their spoils, although the gold and silver of the loyal and righteous army were not too much, but they had horses, guns and a lot of tobacco and soil, these things were also quite considerable. Zhao Guanhou himself also took out 100,000 yuan as a bonus, so that each of these bandits could share a sum.
Giant bandits such as Feng Linge and Du Lisan don't care much about bonuses, what they care about, through this dispatch, they can also get involved with this big man, so that they will not follow in the footsteps of the sea sand and the five young people. Especially in today's battle, after seeing the combat effectiveness of the officers and troops, they became even more determined not to be enemies of this army.
Whether it is the coordination of infantry and artillery or the cavalry wall charge, it is an unheard of new thing for these green forest horses. After seeing such new tactics and combat effectiveness, even a big thief like Du Lisan, who dominates the upper reaches of the Liao River, has a chill down his spine. Thinking about how long he could hold out if such a force came to deal with his Three Realms Ditch.
They refused to take the money, but instead gave a sum of money as their filial piety. Zhang Yuting reported the results of the battle, "More than 530 animals were captured, and more than 100 were crippled, and they couldn't ride, but they could get into the soup pot." More than 200 captives were captured, and the rest were basically destroyed. Liu Danzi didn't find it, Xu fell into the fire and burned, burning more than 20 people unrecognizable, no one knew who was who. ”
Zhao Guanhou said: "This time the brothers have made more efforts, so I won't say this word of thanks. In short, I have this matter in my heart, and in the future, I will have my own retribution. Tell them that the captives are passive, including the women, and don't harm them. Those people, I'm useful. ”
"Brother, we still found this among the things seized, what do you see what this is? What kind of thing is Son Jae-zhi, how can he still issue a letter of appointment? ”
Part of the letter of appointment was burned, but the main part was still there, and when he saw the words that Liu Danzi was hereby appointed as the commander-in-chief of the First Front Army of the Chinese Geming Army, as well as the name of Sun Zaizhi at the place of payment, Zhao Guanhou smiled slightly
"Big brother, this is a beautiful job. With this letter of appointment, you wait for the New Year, and then follow me into the Xinmin Mansion, and I will guarantee your future! Tell these people outside that from now on, go to hit the big nose, burn the car and kill people, how to toss and how you want, the more lively the toss, the more bonuses. Don't coax them, follow me into Xinmin, didn't Lao Xu promise a three-battalion commander? Liu Danzi didn't have this fate, this seat is yours. ”
Those who can be the leader of the robbers are generally not too bad in terms of sophistication, and they know about Zhao Guanhou and Fengxi, and it is inconvenient for outsiders to participate, so no one asks. However, some people recommended to Zhao Guanhou that one of his female relatives was still a big girl, and he could go to the master's door to be a messenger and ensure that he was obedient. Obviously, in their hearts, they had already decided that it was impossible for Feng Xi to stay. Some have even dug a pit and are ready to be buried alive, which is a natural way for the bandits.
Feng Xi, who was arranged to live alone in a temporary tent, with bandages on his hands, looked at Sun Meiyao and said: "When the master finishes disposing of me, please ask my wife to say a word on my behalf, Feng Xi will only have one man when he dies, believe it or not, it's all up to him, I have the conscience of heaven and earth." ”
At this moment, the tent curtain was lifted, and Zhao Guanhou had already come in from outside the door. (To be continued.) )
