Chapter 40: The Resistance War

The vanguard of the Sabesian Corps was shot down a few, so the vanguard slowed down and began to move forward in semi-concealment. The eldest son of the rich man Li was very happy to see this situation, which was tantamount to successfully stopping the enemy's steps. He quietly conveyed the order to everyone's ears, that is, to persevere, to the end, two gold victors.

This reward is a lot for those who take care of the home, but it is not very much, after all, these people have made a lot of money from Rich Master Li for several years. However, this reward is also very rich, and they can't help but be a little tempted, if the danger is not very great, they will not hold on.

And the refugees, who had been put together by two pieces of pancake for the time being, were excited when they heard this promise, and they all talked about it. How many pancakes can you buy for two Golden Victors? Many people have never even seen Jin Wei in their lives, and these refugees are boiling, and they have told the eldest son of the rich man Li that they will hold on until the last moment, and they must hold on until the time to get the bounty.

The eldest son of the rich man Li was a little at ease in his heart at this time, and he was confident that under the high bounty, these guys would meet Qian Yankai and work hard for their Li family. At this time, I saw that the refugees who had been temporarily gathered did not dare to shoot at all, and they began to slowly aim and pull the trigger. Even if they can't beat the enemy, in the eyes of the eldest son of the rich man Li, it is also a huge progress, since they dare to shoot, they will die for the Li family.

The eldest son of the rich man of Lee, holding a rifle made by the new Itos State Arsenal, aimed at a slowly approaching enemy, and then slowly pulled the trigger. The gun rang out, and the bullet flew out and burrowed into the enemy's chest, which suddenly burst out with a bloody flower and fell to the ground.

The eldest son of the rich man Li was a little proud, his marksmanship was still good, not worse than those veterans of a hundred battles at all. This is all due to his great fondness for armaments, and for several years he has been fiddling with all kinds of long and short guns every day, and he has a collection of more than a dozen famous guns from various countries in his own study alone, and people who are familiar with him call him "Gun Demon", which means that people who have entered a state of enchantment with guns.

However, he hadn't been complacent for long, and the enemy on the opposite side had already begun to make some moves, and it was still a big move. Sabins didn't want his elite vanguard to come forward and die, so he only coldly ordered: "Transfer a few 530 guns to bombard, and then send fifty cavalry to rush and quickly end this small battle." ”

In Sebins's eyes, a battle of this magnitude is of course a very small battle. Although the eldest son of the rich man thought it was a great battle, it was simply too small for a third-class commander like Sebins, who commanded thousands of men to fight all year round.

After Sabins gave the order, the vanguard soldiers really stopped advancing, and the eldest son of the rich man Li also wondered a little, could it be that the enemy was afraid of them? No, it is said that there are hundreds of enemies, and now only a few have died, how can they just retreat?

After they waited for a while, the eldest son of the rich man used his lookout to look closely at the Sabbins Corps, and by the time he noticed that something was wrong, it was too late. What he saw was a black hole with the muzzle of a cannon aimed at them, broken! They're going to use cannons! The eldest son of the rich man Li scolded the other party in his heart, these people are simply too lacking in morality, there are so many more people than on their side, they still have to use cannons, it is simply too bullying.

As soon as he reacted, he shouted to his men: "Run!" Before anyone could understand it, they only heard the roar of the cannonball piercing the air, and the roar was getting closer and closer, and of course the speed was very fast, and it fell on the eldest son of the rich man at once. His body was immediately covered in the dirt that had been blown up, but fortunately he was not seriously injured, only a few abrasions.

He immediately pulled away the dirt from his body, raised his head to look, and saw that several people around him were gone, and when he looked around, the bodies of those people had been blown up three or four meters away. At this time, he saw that everyone was making a gesture to run away, and he immediately shouted: "Get down, get down!" Have you outrun the cannonballs? ”

But the men did not listen to him, and only cared about themselves and fled for their lives, when the sound of cannonballs firing intensified, "swishing" down on the people who were fleeing. Those who escaped had little way to live, except for a handful of people who escaped from the shells, but this handful was nothing more than luck.

There are still about 30 people who are still holding their positions with the eldest son of the rich man Li, and none of them have left the nursing home in their hometown. Because they are all experienced, they all know that if they encounter a shell during the escape, they have no way of predicting where the shell will fall, so they will only be killed. If it wasn't blown up, it must have burned some incense in the previous life, otherwise who would be able to run away from the shells!

After this round of shells, there were many fewer people who were still holding their positions, because even if they lay down and hidden, they would be killed by shells, which was inevitable. There are only more than 20 people left, and the eldest son of the rich man Li is very bitter in his heart, and he originally wanted to give full play to his military talents and fight a beautiful blocking battle, but now it is good, so many people have been killed by the enemy, how can only so many people be left to stop the enemy?

At this moment, there was a rumbling sound from the enemy on the opposite side, and the eldest son of the rich man Li listened attentively, and then looked up with the lookout board, and his heart immediately became cold. He saw dozens of horses galloping in their direction, "Shoot!" "Shoot those cavalrymen now!" The eldest son of the rich man Li roared.

It's just that those war horses running at high speed are so easy to fight, and when they galloped to the eldest son of the rich man Li, they only lost five or six people, except for the slight loss of the war horses, which can be ignored at all. The eldest son of the rich man Li looked at the horses that were getting closer and closer, and the fierce faces of the cavalry had been exposed to the lookout, and he had only one thought: this is completely over!

The rich man Li sat in the carriage and walked squeaking, he was a little worried that his eldest son would take all the guards and those who had been temporarily summoned to stop the enemy, and they would be able to stop the enemy smoothly. Will it hurt in any way?

In fact, the eldest son is the most beloved by the rich man, and the eldest son studies what guns and strategies all day long, in fact, everything is for the rise and fall of their Li family in the future. Because it is now the autumn of war, if the Li family does not develop its military strength, it will be swallowed up by those who have strength sooner or later.

In the eyes of the rich man Li, there is and only his eldest son can preserve and pass on the family property accumulated by the Li family for decades. So he has high hopes for his eldest son, that is, he wants him to become the head of the next generation of the Li family, and after the war is over, the Li family will definitely usher in a new vitality.

But what the rich man didn't know was that his eldest son's life was actually in danger. Of course, he heard the sound of cannons while sitting in the carriage, but he didn't think it was cannon at all, after all, the bandits and robbers on the grassland would still have cannons, who would believe it? He preferred to think that it was the thunder of thunder in the distance, and he also gave special orders to his servants to take out the tarpaulin and cover the carriage, being careful not to get rid of the contents of the carriage.

At this time, I saw that the place where the eldest son of the rich man Li and the enemy were connected was in flames and filled with smoke. Only then did everyone realize that this was indeed a fight, and the other side still had artillery, which was bombarding the people on their side with artillery. Only the rich man Li was still in the dark, and continued to sit in the carriage and move forward.

These people carried all the belongings of their own family on their shoulders, and of course they would not have many carriages that could easily move forward like the rich man's house. So they were slow, and because of this, their team was about a kilometer away, and the person who was walking at the back suddenly noticed that someone was chasing after them, still with a gun in his hand.

Their hearts were flustered, but they were carrying things on their bodies, these things were their lives, and they couldn't run away. So I had to let the man catch up, and the man was full of cannon fodder, panting and shouting to them: "No...... No, it's not good! The shells killed a lot of people, and their cavalry came up again, all ...... They're almost dead! ”

"What?" The people who walked behind surrounded them, they looked at them carefully, and one of them shouted sharply: "Oh, isn't this the second dog of the old Huang family?" Didn't he take the pancakes and go to war? ”

"Didn't you listen to what he just said, the other party killed a lot of people by opening fire, and the cavalry came from behind and killed everyone, he was lucky to escape!" Then a man who understood the words spoke.

At this time, two people cried on the spot: "Oh, my son (man), he went to fight with people for two pancakes, and he went there in half a day!" How can I live, who should I count on for the rest of my life! ”

Soon the news reached the ears of everyone in the ranks, and the families who had sent people to fight for two pancakes wailed. Putting a human life on the line for two pancakes is of course worthless in everyone's hearts, and it's especially worthless, it's a big loss.

The bereaved families sent people, and about dozens of people gathered around the carriage of the rich man, crying and howling for the rich man to pay for the lives of their families. Of course, the rich man also got the news of the failure of the blockade, and he was worried about whether his eldest son would survive the enemy's attack and whether he would be able to withdraw. But this kind of hope is not much, because didn't the second dog who escaped say that they have no one alive, and the other party not only dispatched artillery, but also cavalry, where can the infantry escape the iron hooves of the cavalry?

The rich man was immediately grieved and depressed, and he lamented that he had a son who could stand upright, but he had died in the battle. The first half of Rich Li's life was very smooth and very good, but in the second half of his life, there was this kind of upheaval and loss of his beloved son, which made him feel unacceptable at all.

At this time, the cries and howls outside the carriage woke him up in grief, and he hurriedly lifted the curtain on the carriage to take a look, only to see dozens of people gathered around his carriage. The men were weeping and angry, and his youngest son and two servants were there to keep them from coming near the rich man's carriage.

The rich man Li forced himself to hold back his grief and got out of the carriage. At this time, someone said: "Rich man Li got out of the car, look what he said!" Rich man Li, our family is the pillar of the family, a young and strong young man, who is now going to your guards to fill his head for two pancakes, but they are all dead, you have to give us an explanation, right? ”

"yes, that's human life, you have to give us an explanation!"

"yes, we can't just leave it at that. If you don't give us an account, we'll not leave! ”

At this time, the youngest son of the rich man put the rifle in his hand on the ground and said, "You are still finished, you have something to tell me, don't rush at my father's attitude!" Otherwise, be careful that the gun in my hand won't be long-sighted! ”

"Ouch, the Li family is a capable person, he just exchanged two pieces of pancake for so many of our lives, and now he is going to unload the mill and kill the donkey. Come on, shoot here, shoot here, if you don't shoot you, I'm born! "A ruffian-type guy is starting to play hard.

"......" Although the youngest son of the rich man Li is also a practitioner, how could he really beat someone with a gun, and he was stopped by that person at once.

"Hey, hey, don't you dare? Cowardly? Rich Master Li, you don't have your eldest son, I think your Li family will be finished in the future! Hurry up and give us an explanation! ”

"Yes, we're going to have an explanation!"

At this time, the rich man waved his hand to silence everyone, he sighed and said: "All this originated from the horse bandits on the grassland, and my own son is now dead on the battlefield like your family. Think about it, what am I doing when I went out of the pancake to find someone to stop those people? Is it for myself? ”

"Yes, you don't have as much money as I do, and I still have a lot of food. But have you ever thought about whether you have a wife, whether you have a daughter, if you don't resist being caught by those bandits, what will happen to them? ”

Everyone was silent for a moment, and then they all said: "Anyway, our family was summoned by you to send them to death, you must give us an explanation!" ”

"Yes, give us an explanation, otherwise we won't be done today!"

Rich Master Li took a breath and said, "I just want you to know that I'm not just for myself. Well, for the bereaved families, each family is divided into fifty catties of white flour and fifty catties of rice. I can't get any more at this time, and if you're not satisfied, then I have no other way! ”

Everyone was quiet, and fifty catties of white flour and rice were enough to last for a long time if they were saved. If you don't agree, the white flour and rice will also be lost, and the gains will outweigh the losses. After some discussion, they agreed to the compensation of the rich man, and then they each received white flour and rice and went back. (To be continued.) )
