Chapter 43: The Price of Carelessness
Compared with the Li family who was sent down outside Lushun City before, this traitor surnamed Zhou is obviously much more difficult to deal with. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Although there are only about 30 thugs used to protect the home of their hometown, at least half of these people are good hands that the Zhou family bought from the army at a large price. What's more, in order to prevent bandit attacks, the Zhou family also bought ten fast guns from their master, Lao Maozi, to equip their own hospitals.
The heavily armed Zhao Zhigang had just appeared at the entrance of the town, and the Zhou family, who was all over the town, got the news of the bandits.
So, when Zhao Zhigang touched the outside of the Zhou family compound, the heavy wooden gate of the Zhou family compound was tightly closed, and dozens of thugs were all lying on the wall of the battle, holding various weapons, aiming at Zhao Zhigang and his party......
Looking at the situation in front of him, Zhao Zhigang's brows subconsciously wrinkled.
If according to Yang Xingguo's order, at this moment, he only needs to block the front and rear doors of the Zhou family's compound and wait for Yang Xingguo to arrive with the main force to complete the task.
However, Zhao Zhigang, who had just taken refuge in Yang Xingguo and was eager to perform and prove himself, did not do so.
After just glancing at the Zhou family's compound a hundred meters away, he decisively ordered: "Brothers, find cover and shoot at them...... We have twenty bullets each, and I don't believe it, I can't kill them......"
"As long as we kill those courtyard thugs on the wall of the Zhou family, the Zhou family will be our ......"
Soon, crackling gunshots rang out at the main gate of the Zhou family.
Zhao Zhigang had eleven fast guns, and the Zhou family had ten fast guns, not to be outdone, they shot bullets at the opponent, and they all wanted to kill the opponent on the battlefield first.
In the first few rounds, no one knew who the victory would fall to.
However, after they fired several rounds of bullets in a row, the gap between the two sides became apparent.
Of course, this gap does not refer to a gap in marksmanship. It's the fear of death and the fear of death......
The bandits led by Zhao Zhigang, because they were not afraid of death, fired bullets that were not only tricky, but also more and more violent.
And the thugs on the hundred-meter perimeter wall who bought the lives of the Zhou family with silver were relatively timid.
Because there is no need for them to bury their lives here for that reward.
However, there is a saying on the battlefield that the more you fear death, the more death will come upon you.
The thugs in the Zhou family's courtyard had just begun to become timid, and a fast gunman was knocked off the courtyard wall with a scream.
Because he was shot in the head, when he fell to the ground, he had already turned into a dead corpse that could not die again.
They were already timid, but in the face of this situation, it was not as simple as timidity.
At this moment, many of the thugs of the Zhou family's nursing home showed fear of the battlefield and death on their faces.
In this way, they are not Zhao Zhigang's opponents.
Soon, the loss of the thugs in the Zhou family's nursing home reached as many as ten people. Of the ten brothers led by Zhao Zhigang, only two of them lost their combat effectiveness. At this time, as long as you are not a fool, you will know that there will be no surprises for Zhao Zhigang to win this battle.
However, Zhao Zhigang ignored one problem, that is, total annihilation......
In order to ensure that the convoy was not discovered by Lao Maozi's main force, Yang Xingguo issued an order to loot all Lao Maozi checkpoints and traitors all the way. However, there is a precondition for this order, which is to eliminate all of its looting targets.
Only in this way could the battles that took place along the official road not reach Lao Maozi's ears at the first time.
As for himself, he can take advantage of this gap to quickly get out of the battlefield and return to Yangjiazhai.
In the courtyard of the Zhou family, where the resistance to fire is getting weaker and weaker, looking at the thugs who have lost thirty percent of the courtyard on the courtyard wall, the head of the Zhou family knows that the courtyard under his feet cannot be saved.
So, the Zhou family made a very decisive decision: abandon the Zhou family compound, flee to the county seat with his family and Xisoft, find Lao Maozi to avenge himself, and recapture the Zhou family compound......
Just when Zhao Zhigang continued to shoot at the remaining thugs of the Zhou family, two carriages and three or four war horses had already carried all the family members of the Zhou family and quietly left through the back door.
Although the remaining members of the Zhou family, Ding Nursing Home, did not know the news that the head of the Zhou family had fled for his life, the loss of the direct command and supervision of the head of the Zhou family would still be fatal to the remaining thugs on the courtyard wall.
Less than a few minutes after the head of the family fled for his life, the remaining thugs of the Zhou family collapsed.
Zhao Zhigang also took advantage of the situation to enter the Zhou family's compound and occupy the Zhou family, which had not many people.
When Zhao Zhigang learned that the head of the Zhou family had fled to the county seat with his family, the whole person was stunned.
The facial expression that was excited because of the occupation of the Zhou family's compound just now was directly covered by solemnity at this moment.
As the former boss of the bandits, Zhao Zhigang is very aware of the huge threat that the escape of the Zhou family may bring to him.
However, now that I think about it, it was too late for anything.
Sure enough, when Yang Xingguo entered the Zhou family's compound, which was still filled with the smell of blood, Zhao Zhigang didn't see the slightest smile on Yang Xingguo's face. It can be seen that he has caused a big disaster.
Just when Zhao Zhigang looked at Yang Xingguo with a bumpy face, Yang Xingguo, who had a solemn face, finally spoke......
"On the way we came, we happened to run into the Zhou family who was fleeing for their lives...... Although many people were intercepted, there were still three people who fled on horseback, and among the three people who fled, one happened to be the eldest son of the Zhou family......"
"This is only twenty miles away from the county seat, and the eldest son of the Zhou family must have fled to the county seat and asked his master, Lao Maozi, for help."
"At the speed of war horses, at most an hour, the county seat Lao Maozi garrison will know our news......"
"If Lao Maozi decides to send troops, at most three hours, we will collide with them on the official road. When the time comes, a big war, a big war with Lao Maozi, will definitely not be avoided......"
Hearing this, Zhao Zhigang's already embarrassed face became even more embarrassed at this moment......
After taking a deep breath, he said with a firm face: "Big boss, the mistake was caused by me, and I will never let the big boss fall into danger because of this...... Please give me twenty brothers and enough ammunition, and I will set off immediately to block the old Maozi who may be out of the city, and buy time for the transfer of the big boss......"
Zhao Zhigang's courage made Yang Xingguo appreciate it very much, but Yang Xingguo did not agree, but replied with a solemn face: "No, the matter is not serious enough for you to die......"
