Part 1 Chapter 209 - Assassination (4)
"Don't make a fuss, let's go. Delayed hours, I want your heads. Guan Xuqing's voice came from the sedan chair.
"Wow." After everyone heard the emperor's voice, it was as if they had found the backbone. There was no confusion and panic just now, and they shouted in unison.
The brigade continued to move forward, perhaps because of the rain, perhaps because it was too nervous. Luo Ming was at the front of the team, and often couldn't see the safe flags issued by the soldiers in front of him, which led to the slow progress of the entire team.
"General Luo, the emperor's mouth: tell the front to go quickly, no matter who you are delaying the hour, you will be severely punished." A Royal Forest Army Pegasus arrived and said to Luo Ming.
"Got it." Luo Ming wiped the water all over his head, and he didn't know if it was rain or sweat.
"General, under this heavy rain, there is Feilai Peak in front of you. The terrain is complicated, and there are many places where our brothers are not stationed. If I were an Assassin, I would have set up an ambush there, you see. Chen Feng, the brigade commander who had followed Luo Ming for five years, handed the telescope in his hand to Guan Xuqing and said.
Luo Ming did not march blindly because of the emperor's holy decree, and even grabbed the reins of the horse and stopped, picked up the telescope handed over by Chen Feng and looked at Feilai Peak. Because it was looking up and it was raining hard, it didn't take long for the telescope to be confused by the rain, and I couldn't see anything clearly. Because of the heavy rain, the whole sky was gray, and I couldn't see anything clearly.
"yes, it's raining so hard. If there was a real fight, the brothers would not have looked up and taken aim, either by a bomb or by the rain, and they would not be able to open their eyes. Luo Ming put down the binoculars and continued: "According to the tip, there are only one or two hundred assassins. Moreover, General Zhao Bingjun also arranged for his spies to sneak in, how many of our brothers are there on Feilai Peak? ”
"No one can break it, one person is used as two people. The terrain of Feilai Peak is very complex, although it is not possible to occupy all the highest points. But as soon as there is a sound of scramble, our brothers guarantee that they can reach the assassin's hiding place in half a pillar of incense. Chen Feng said proudly.
"Nonsense, it's too late as soon as the guns go off." Luo Ming sighed and said to the soldiers behind him, "Inform General Feng and request a second plan." ”
"Wow."
"The troops move on." Luo Ming waved his hand and rode forward. It's not much faster than it was just now.
"Boom...... Boom"
With the sound of thunder, the whole team slowly passed through the uphill path surrounded by Feilai Peak.
Seeing that the entire team was about to pass completely, Luo Ming's heart was even higher. If anything, it could be now.
A red light shot out from the woods on the mountainside of Feilai Peak with a loud bang.
"Boom...... Boom"
When most people thought it was thunder, Luo Ming first reflected it. He shouted: "Lie down and protect the emperor." Chen Feng, the assassin is on the left, hurry up and pull out the mountain cannon over there for Lao Tzu.
As soon as Luo Ming's words fell, two shells exploded in the middle of the team.
"Boom...... Boom ......"
The nearest bomb was only about 50 meters away from Guan Xuqing's sedan chair, and although it did not directly hurt it, the small pebbles that were rolled up by the air waves on the mountain path directly penetrated the neck of a sedan chair driver.
The whole team was in a mess, each looking for something to take cover. The Imperial Forest Army was even more desperate to line up a circle of human walls around the sedan chair.
The entire guard regiment fired at the same time at the place where the red light flashed just now, and there were grenade explosions in many places in the Flying Peak. It was clear that the Qing troops in ambush at Feilai Peak had also exchanged fire with the Assassins, and everyone was ready for a second bombardment, but they did not show up.
"General Luo, the brothers above have exchanged fire with the Assassins. Seems to have suppressed the Assassins! Chen Feng said excitedly to Luo Ming.
"Damn, God forbid they only have two mountain cannons. Lao Tzu, who was scared by the cannon just now, was half dead, so he asked two platoons in a row to rush up to deal with the remnants of the enemy. Others move on. Luo Ming decisively gave the order.
"Yes."
As the two platoons of a company rushed up to Feilai Peak, the scramble in the mountain peak became more dense. But just like a rainstorm in the summer, it comes and goes quickly. It didn't take long for the scrambling to stop.
"General Luo, the assassins have been killed." A communications soldier reported after catching up with Luo Ming.
"Have you counted the number of people?" Luo Ming did not relax, and did not even dare to relax even a little. His eyes were still watching his surroundings from time to time, and he didn't believe that the assassins were ready to assassinate the emperor with two mountain cannons.
"A total of 27 people were killed, including two gunners, two loaders, seven snipers, three machine gunners, and more than a dozen assassins who were trapped with bombs and rushed towards us.
Luo Ming gasped after hearing this, he actually used all the suicide attacks? Although his own arrangement was already quite tight, even the assassin was killed without even having a chance to fire a second shot. But only then did they eliminate more than twenty people on the other side. And here he has already mobilized all the troops ambushed in Feilai Peak! Now that the team is scattered, and all the brothers in the flying peak have been mobilized to one point, it would be nice if there were assassins elsewhere at this time.
Luo Ming secretly complained in his heart, and he didn't have time to give any orders. The barrage of machine-gun sounds didn't allow him to think about anything!
"Dada...... Da Da ......"
With the sound of machine guns, a large number of Imperial Forest Army troops around Guan Xuqing's sedan chair instantly fell.
"Damn it, protect the emperor." Luo Ming was really powerful at this time, and he wanted to fight with a bayonet but couldn't find anyone. Judging from the tongues of fire ejected from the machine guns, each machine gun was at least 500 meters apart, and some were even behind their own teams. The arrangement was so scattered that the troops who wanted to charge could not find their way and did not know where to charge.
In an instant, more than a dozen Imperial Forest soldiers who were still around the sedan chair just now all fell in a pool of blood. The sedan chair was even beaten into a hornet's nest by machine guns, and the emperor in the sedan chair had no chance of survival. Luo Ming, who was at the front of the team, roared loudly: "Your Majesty!" ”
A few royal guards braved the rain of bullets to pull the emperor out of the sedan chair to find a place to hide, but they rushed over and fell to the ground.
The fire cannot be suppressed, and people cannot be saved. Seeing that the emperor's palanquin was pierced by bullets one after another, everyone's faces were full of tears, sweat, rain and even blood.
Just when everyone was suppressed and couldn't raise their heads, more than a dozen behemoths suddenly appeared in the sky and slowly drove towards here.
"General Luo, look ......"
"Airship, it's an airship." Feng Xianghua shouted excitedly at a young soldier at the back of the line.
"What is this?" Luo Ming obviously didn't know that this was the emperor's latest new weapon to work with the Germans.
"Boom...... Boom ......"
The airship flew slowly over Feilai Peak, and the machine gun that had just frantically spat out a tongue of fire was instantly dumbfounded.
THE 120MM CALIBER HOWITZER WITH VERY LITTLE RECOIL JUST DEVELOPED BY GERMAN WAS INSTALLED ON THE AIRSHIP, AND MORE THAN A DOZEN AIRSHIPS FLEW OVER FEILAI PEAK, FOLLOWED BY A SERIES OF EXPLOSIONS WHEREVER THEY WENT.
At this time, Luo Ming hurriedly ran to the scarred sedan chair and opened the special sedan door made of steel plates as if he had just reflected......
He was stunned by what he saw......
