August 15, 1900, two o'clock in the morning.

Drive, drive, drive!

A hurried sound of horses' hooves came towards the north of Xigang.

"Commander, these guys are really useless, it took so long to find here." Zhou Dabiao sneered.

"Alright, don't scream, call everyone up, and hurry up and put out the torches, otherwise it will be too fake." Yue Weihua commanded.

It turned out that Yue Weihua placed the modified train wagon on the top of the mountain, as a combat position for a while, and at this moment it was used as a temporary dormitory, the other team members were hurrying to rest, and the captain and deputy captain were responsible for staring outside.

"Hehe, let's do it."

After a while, the torches were extinguished, and the special combat team members in the carriage were all in place, and in a few minutes, the area around the originally quiet low mountain instantly became lively.

"His grandmother's, is it this mountain?"

"That's right, this is it, I kept an eye on it until the torch went out."

"Boss, there's a lot of jewelry here."

……

"That's right." Guo Erduohao grimaced, and then said: "Then what are you waiting for, surround this low mountain for Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu wants to make it difficult for them to fly." ”

"Yes, Boss."

Several hall masters took the order, and hundreds of bearded men wearing the costumes of the Qing army began to hula and scatter around, in fact, this low mountain is not big, and the cliffs facing the southeast and southeast naturally do not need to be surrounded, just send people to stare at it from a distance, and the main forces are mainly on the northwest side, at the foot of the hundred-meter-long mountain, so the action is still very fast.

However, Luo Wei, who has been following Guo Er Ahao's side, is a little restless at the moment, and always feels a little inappropriate, because the gap between the performance of these robbers before and after is too big, and the robbery of the deputy capital mansion is so neat and neat, if it weren't for the fact that he didn't know what reason he went, no one might have found out that this capital mansion was destroyed, but these people went to leave a living hole at the north gate.

If this is said to be in a hurry, then the gold and silver jewelry that fell along the way, almost every twenty or thirty meters, a few pieces, which is too unprofessional, and the torch that was still lit on the top of the mountain just now, was not extinguished until it was almost close to the torch, all of which seemed to be deliberately attracted to them, and Luo Wei even thought that the vice capital was all gone, and it was possible that the other party deliberately set the fire.

But why did the other party do this, whether it was seeking money, seeking revenge, robbing your wealth, killing people, and attracting a large number of officers and soldiers to come, this doesn't make sense, but as a heartfelt minion, Luo Wei feels that it is still necessary to remind him.

So he reminded in a whisper: "Master, why do I feel like I've been set up? ”

Guo Er Duohao glanced at Luo Wei, in fact, he also had doubts along the way, but when he thought of the property worth tens of millions, he threw everything out of the clouds, even if Luo Wei reminded him now, but Guo Er Duohao thought that he had more than 600 brothers with advanced equipment, and he had all his doubts, but said lightly: "Hmph, I don't care if he is a trap, in the face of absolute strength, it is a trap, what can it do?" ”

Luo Wei saw Guo Er Duohao behaving like this, and he had the heart to persuade again, but suddenly found that those hall masters had already rushed over.

"Boss, the siege has been closed, the valley on the southeast side is on the cliff, and the northwest side has been completely blocked, we can still fight at any time." One of the hall masters said excitedly.

"Well, Hall Master Tong, I think it's better to shout first, if you can do it without guns and bullets, that's the best." Guo Er'a said in a hoist.

"Yes, Boss." The master of Tong Hall immediately took the order and left.

As soon as the hall master Tong left, Luo Wei hurriedly said: "Master, don't you wait for Xue Feng and Polnu, when they arrive, wouldn't it be better for us to take them down in one go." ”

When Guo Er Ahao heard this, he scolded: "These two bastards haven't arrived yet, and they don't know what they are doing. ”

"Master, this is also ......

"Okay, Luo Wei, don't say it, I still don't believe in our more than 600 brothers, and I can't take down a few thieves who don't know where they came from." Guo Er Duohao couldn't listen to the persuasion at all at this moment, and said a little impatiently, and at this time, the shouting of the hall master not far away also sounded.

"Listen to the people above, we are from Xigang, if you know each other, get down and surrender, maybe, our boss, can give you a ......

Bang!

Before Hall Master Tong's shouting was over, he heard a gunshot from the top of the mountain, and then Hall Master Tong's voice stopped abruptly, and then he saw Hall Master Tong fall directly from his horse, and he swallowed his breath on the spot.

This scene made Guo Er'a very angry, and immediately roared angrily: "Bastard, give Lao Tzu to attack the mountain, whoever is the first to attack the top of the mountain, Lao Tzu will reward him with 10,000 taels of silver." ”

The temptation of 10,000 taels of silver is still very great, and as soon as Guo Er Ahao's words fell, these beards rushed towards the mountain.

"Rush!"

"Kill!"

Bang! Bang! Bang!

As soon as the beards rushed, the gunshots on the top of the mountain immediately rang out, but the gunshots were sparse, obviously the number of people was not too much, and it was estimated that there were only thirty or forty guns.

The answer, Guo Er Ahao quickly got it, because in less than a few minutes, the first wave of charges retreated, and the leader of the Wu Hall came to Guo Er Ahao's side with a bloodless face, and said: "Boss, the other party's marksmanship is too accurate, almost a bullet is not in vain, although it seems that there are not many people, but in just a few minutes, we have fallen hundreds of brothers, this is too damn to shoot." ”

Looking at his subordinates who were still trembling, Guo Erduo kicked directly with arrogance, and then scolded angrily: "A group of waste, accurate, how accurate can they be, no matter how accurate they are, there are only so many thirty people, we have more than 600 brothers, 20 times the strength, can we still not fight, use your brains." ”

"Look at it, this mountain is only a hundred meters, less than 100 meters, even if you climb it, it won't be long, who wants you to rush up, do you really think 10,000 taels of silver is so easy to take?"

"What are you still doing in a daze, and you don't want to attack it yet."

Hall Master Wu was kicked and scolded, although his heart was not divided, he could only crawl back to the team, and then led his men to charge again.

This time, Master Wu learned to be smart, that is, he didn't let the brothers below shout slogans, nor did he let the torches be lit, and he didn't let him shoot back, because he knew that if he returned fire at this distance, it would be purely shooting at the sky, and it would have no effect at all, but he would expose himself, so everyone was bent on their waists, and they climbed towards the mountain with their hands and feet.

"Hehe, these beards are growing very fast." Zhou Dabiao said with a smile.

Because the first wave of beards charged, they were all rushing straight up the mountain, and they were afraid of tripping over stones, and many of them were carrying torches, so that they would not become targets, and in just a few minutes, hundreds of people were sniped and killed.

"Hehe, what's the use of growing in, this mountain is bare, even the larger stones have been rolled down the mountain by Xiaodong and them, there is no cover at all, as for the brightness problem, since they don't make torches, then we will light up the slope for them when they reach the mountainside." Yue Weihua said with a smile.

On the mountainside, along the mountain from west to north, a small ditch was dug, Yue Weihua exchanged several barrels of gasoline, poured it inside, as long as it was ignited, it could not be said that the fire was soaring, but at least it could illuminate the hillside.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The sniper started again, although it was impossible to do one shot, but three or five shots to kill one, it was basically possible, just like that, after losing forty or fifty people again, the master of Wu finally took the little two hundred brothers to touch the halfway up the mountain, and the distance from the slope of the top of the mountain was only a few tens of meters.

"The first team, the second team, will cover Lao Tzu's firepower, and the third team will be responsible for the charge."

Master Wu Tang is a talent dug out of the Qing army barracks by Guo Er Ahao, who is considered to be a military attaché with a serious background, and he still has two strokes for fighting, and he is not halfway up the mountain, and he found a slightly better shooting point, so he began to prepare to fight back.

However, Hall Master Wu seemed to be happy too early, the bearded men had just made a shooting posture, and suddenly a torch flew down from the top of the mountain, accurately falling on the halfway up the mountain, and then a fire ditch appeared instantly, illuminating the entire halfway up the mountain, even at the foot of the mountain, the top of the mountain instantly lit up a lot.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

This time there was nowhere to hide again, although the master of Wu Tang led people to start firing back, but they found that there was actually a big iron box on the top of the mountain, and the bullets of their own attack hit it, and bursts of sparks bounced off it, but that's all, because the other party was hiding there, leaving only some gun positions, and even the other party's figure could not be seen, how could this be fought?

Seeing that there were fewer and fewer brothers around him, Hall Master Wu was also anxious, thinking of leading people to rush up, but the order was issued, but none of them really rushed up, but if it was a stalemate here, wouldn't it be a target for people, so he gritted his teeth and said: "Damn, withdraw first." ”

But it is not so easy to retreat, it may be easy to climb up, but it is not easy to climb down with your head down and your feet high, and in the end it can only evolve into rolling down, and when you roll to the foot of the mountain, you find that all of them are blue noses and swollen faces, but it is much smaller than the loss of rushing down in the previous round.

"Bastard."

"Waste."

Another scolding, because this round of charging lost more than a hundred brothers, which made Guo Er Ahao is furious, the other party is obviously only thirty or forty people, and this mountain is not much dangerous, but why is it so difficult to fight?

"Master, I think it's better to wait for a while, and when Xue Feng and Polnu arrive with the brothers from the outer gate, let's take them down in one go." Lowe persuaded.

"Hmph." Guo Er Ahao snorted coldly, and then ordered: "Why don't you send someone to urge and see where the fuck is?" ”

"Yes, master."
