Chapter 245: Bloody Battle at Jinmen (2)
The Cheng family's martial arts family style, the women in the family also practiced martial arts, even though Cheng's mother was old, she still practiced martial arts. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Of course, in old age, it is impossible to compete with others, only to strengthen the body. The Flying Tigers and Cheng Gongting had a grudge over the battle of Langfang, and Cheng was also wary of it and sent a small team of men and horses to guard the house. It's just that the foreign soldiers entered the city, guns rang out everywhere, and most of the guards went to help in the battle, and as a result, the family suffered a big loss.
There were more than 60 intruders from the Flying Tiger Regiment, and there were nearly 20 guns in their hands, although they were not good at using guns, but the soldiers guarding were too few to stop them at all. These people originally wanted to make a windfall, but the Cheng family's property was far less than they imagined, so in the end they could only grab the old lady and the young lady of the Cheng family and stuff them into a carriage and leave.
The carriage is not very fast, and it is difficult to run fast in the city now. The people of the Flying Tiger Regiment also have to worry about encountering foreign soldiers or officers and soldiers, and they have to move the corpses on the road.
The two senior brothers who led the team are both over forty years old, and they are originally characters in the green forests around Zhili, and they joined the Flying Tiger Regiment just to avoid being arrested by the government. From the very beginning, they did not believe in the words that asked God to possess them, and they were invulnerable, and they were only trying to use each other and help each other. Now that the foreign soldiers entered the city, the two also knew that the general trend had gone, and while running, they untied the red scarf on their heads, untied the red cloth from their waists, and threw them on the side of the road.
They haven't thought about it for the time being, how to deal with the Cheng family's family, the easiest way to relieve their anger is to kill them with a knife. But that didn't help, and the best thing to do was to go back to the lairs and torture a few women.
They didn't believe that Cheng Gongting, as a first-class admiral, had only that little property at home. There must be a secret gold vault, and there are many old money in the countryside, and they all do it. And this kind of gold hiding room will not hide from the old lady at home, as long as she is willing to confess, she can also make a fortune.
A boxer who had broken off suddenly said, "Senior brother, someone is chasing after you." ”
The two leaders were startled and asked, "How many?" ”
"About four or five, all of them have horses. We ran in a hurry, we couldn't outrun them. ”
The two of them breathed a sigh of relief, four or five people, there was nothing to be afraid of at all, the senior brother took off his rifle, quickly loaded the bullets, and tamped them with a strip. As a person born in the green forest, he will naturally make foreign guns, among these people, he has to be regarded as a past shooter, he waved his hand, "The team stopped, and the chasing soldiers were cleaned up first." ”
In the car, Miss Cheng looked at her grandmother, her eyes revealing the meaning of inquiry. In order to prevent her from committing suicide, the two of them tied up very strongly, and their mouths were tightly sealed. Mrs. Cheng shook her head, as if to encourage her not to be afraid, but everyone fell into the hands of bandits, no matter what, they couldn't be unscathed.
Through the wall of the car, she could hear the gunfire and shouts outside, and the whole city was like pouring a glass of water into oil, and it was boiling in an instant. The entire city has been surrounded by the fire of destruction, and she is just one of the countless sacrifices, and she doesn't care about the word life and death. At this time, Miss Cheng's mind repeatedly appeared the shadow of a young man.
Will he come to save himself? As the youngest official in the mansion, she actually secretly watched him a few times, he was very handsome, he knew a lot of things, and he had a bookish atmosphere, which was completely different from those common martial artists. When he looked at him, he also looked at himself, and he also bought some small things for himself from outside the house, and entrusted the relationship of the maid to send them to himself.
Every time she thinks of this, Miss Cheng always feels that her heart is beating wildly, the Cheng family is the gate, and the view of the door is not as important as the well-dressed family. And Miss Cheng's own background is not good, and it is not impossible to marry this Pang Caiguan. It's just that the foreign soldiers suddenly arrived, with fast guns and cannons, shattering the dream of the winged mandarin duck, and now they have fallen into the hands of thieves, and the future is unpredictable, but I don't know what can happen to the person in my heart.
At this time, she suddenly heard a familiar voice coming from afar, and Miss Cheng thought she had heard it wrong. But if you listen carefully, you can see exactly the same voice, it is the voice of the person you think.
"Bold fanatics, release the old lady and miss, otherwise the armed guards will never let you go. Now Jinmen is still the world of the armed guards, and what crime should be committed to hijacking officials and dependents. Releasing people now can give you a way out. ”
The sound is like a bell, the righteousness is strict, and Miss Cheng is happy. The sweetheart really came to save himself, he came, and everything would be fine.
She didn't hear the answers of these Flying Tiger Regiments clearly, but then, a dense burst of gunfire shook her ear drums and shook her heart. The gunfire was dense and chaotic, but I didn't know which way the gun was fired.
When the gunfire gradually stopped, Miss Cheng's heart also rose to her throat, and she only heard a rough voice: "Just a few people, a few broken guns, and they also want to save people?" The Wu Weijun is an old imperial calendar, which is not easy to use. Let's go, take them back, whoever dares to stop them will still be shot. ”
Miss Cheng's heart tightened violently, this ...... This is the voice of the robbers, could it be that they have ...... in the jade building No way. He is a material officer trusted by his father, an assistant teacher of the Martial Arts Academy, and his combat skills are strong, and it is impossible for him to die at the hands of this group of robbers. It must be that he has few people, but he asked for help, it must be like this......
As soon as the carriage resumed its operation, it stopped again, but Miss Cheng didn't have the heart to think about who hijacked the car. She wanted to get out of the car and take a look at Pang Yulou's safety, but the ropes of the robbers were so tightly tied that it was difficult for her to move, and as for breaking free from the rope, she was powerless.
Dense gunfire rang out again, apparently the robbers were engaged again. However, this time it was different from the last time, the gunfire seemed to be more rhythmic, as neat as the beat of a drum, and with the gunshots, there were bursts of screams, and the sound was heard very clearly. She had no way of judging the outcome of the war, and neither of the warring sides knew anything about it, so it didn't matter whether it was joy or sorrow, if it fell into the hands of foreign soldiers...... She could hardly imagine it.
It seemed like a century had passed for her, when the gunfire and shouting stopped, footsteps rang out, and the curtain was lifted, revealing a dark red top that she was familiar with.
"Old lady? Come on, quickly, untie them. Cuiyu, Yuqing, you two do it. ”
Two young men came in, and when they got closer, Miss Cheng could smell the faint smell of fat powder on the two of them, knowing that these were two women, she was relieved to let them untie them.
When I got out of the carriage, I saw more than 20 horses outside, all of them were soldiers with guns, and one of them in the middle was Zhao Guanhou. ”
Although Mrs. Cheng had just been captured, her expression was not panicked, her expression was still calm, and she smiled: "You're welcome, get up and talk." Lord Zhao, did you bring your men and horses to relieve the siege of Jinmen? ”
"Old lady, you have won the award, and you don't have such a great ability to do it, I'm just here to pick up people. Some of my acquaintances are still in Jinmen, so I'll pick them up. As for the soldiers he brought, there weren't many. It was also a coincidence that I met the old lady, and this is also fate, this group of Flying Tigers is really the opposite, and they dare to rob the officials and their families. Most of those bandits have been killed, and less than 20 people have fled. ”
Miss Cheng looked at it, and saw a middle-aged man with a full beard next to the carriage, with a bloody hole on his head, and the dead body was lying there. Next to this corpse was the dead body of a thin black man, these two men were the leaders, and she knew them. The others, upside down, are unrecognizable. After looking around a few times, her gaze was fixed on the distance.
Not far from here, you can see several ownerless horses, as well as corpses lying upside down. The corpses were dressed in the uniforms of officers and soldiers, and one of them, wearing the clothes of an officer, was easily recognizable. Barely thinking about it, she grabbed her long skirt and hurried there. When he leaned down, he saw Pang Yulou's pale face and the blood on the side of his mouth.
He had been shot three times and two were fatally wounded, but he was not dead for a moment, barely able to speak. Qi Da opened his eyes and watched Miss Cheng being rescued, as if he was relieved, and let out a sigh of relief. "Miss...... You...... If only you were saved......"
Miss Cheng trembled and touched his face, felt the feeling of stubble on her hand, and saw the wound on his body, and wanted to wipe off the blood for him, but as she wiped, the blood came out. Born in a military general's family, she naturally saw that there was no way to save this kind of injury.
"Lord Zhao...... Lord Zhao...... Think of a way...... Please......"
She looked at Zhao Guanhou pleadingly, Zhao Guanhou came over and looked at it twice, and shook her head helplessly, "Miss, I can't do anything about it." Assistant Teacher Pang, if you have anything to say, say it quickly while you understand, and I'll help you do it. ”
When Pang Yulou saw that it was him, his eyes seemed to have a look in his eyes, and he wanted to do something, but in the end he couldn't do it, so he only used his last strength to shout: "Kill Guangyang...... Foreigner! His body stiffened, his eyes rolled up, and he didn't look at it.
"Jade Tower!" Miss Cheng slammed down on Pang Yulou's dead body and cried loudly, letting the blood flow on her clothes. Zhao Guanhou sighed, "I can't help you with this one, it's too difficult." ”
Yuqing had already reported her name to Mrs. Cheng at this moment, although the old lady did not need to be afraid of such a wild character, but after all, she was the flesh and blood of Qingdi, and her superficial kung fu always had to be perfunctory. After a few words of conversation, Mrs. Cheng just didn't see what happened here, and asked Zhao Guanhou
"Isn't Lord Zhao going to pick up someone? We won't be bothered, so my granddaughter and I will go home first. I think that these Flying Tigers have been dispersed, and no one will come to beat us up for the idea of an old woman and a little girl. ”
Zhao Guanhou shook his head and said: "This can't be done, now that foreigners have entered the city, the ground is not very peaceful." Yuqing, Cuiyu, the two of you took the soldiers and sent the old lady and the eldest lady to the concession, I took Fengzhi and went to the concession to see you. Then let Jensen find a way to send us away, and now we can't go back to the house. ”
Yuqing and Cuiyu glanced at each other, and they both understood that Zhao Guanhou's arrangement had his own intentions. At present, the training army is in a big collapse, and the remaining troops in the city are the Wuwei front army, if you can form this good relationship, you may be able to join forces with the Wuwei front army to deal with the enemy in the future, and the next step will be of great benefit. The two nodded, helped the old lady to get into the car, Miss Cheng was confused, holding the dead body and refusing to let go, Shigege had to say offended, and slammed everything on the back of her neck.
Miss Cheng is also a person who has practiced martial arts, but at this time, she didn't know how to avoid it, and she fainted with a blow from her, and she was forced to carry it into the carriage. As for Pang Yulou's dead body, he had to throw it on the spot and mix it with other corpses. Zhao Guanhou beckoned to Huo Qiu, asked for his revolver, and urged his mount towards his residence. Since the bridge connecting the Zizhulin Concession and the Huajie had been destroyed by artillery fire, the others had to find another way to go to the concession and could not follow.
What is the situation of Cheng Gongting's former army, and what the current situation in the entire city is, no one knows, and Zhao Guanhou has no way of grasping it, what he can do now is to try to find Jiang Fengzhi and find her red light.
Along the way, he did see some red lights, but unfortunately, they were all dead. These healthy and energetic girls fell victim in front of foreign guns. Unopened delicate flowers, premature withering, red lanterns, red fans, falling everywhere, and some of them even had their clothes stripped off, apparently before they died, they were violated.
He was very worried that Jiang Fengzhi would appear here, but he couldn't stop looking for it, after all, he would be attacked if he encountered foreign soldiers now, so he couldn't stay in one place for a long time, and he was looking for and leaving, and the only clue he could find at present was Taigongtang. He only hoped that Jiang Buqiu's father and daughter could grow a little brain, like most of the Flying Tiger Regiments he had encountered, and once they encountered foreign soldiers and knew to escape, if so, maybe they could escape this catastrophe.
On the way, I met two groups of foreign soldiers, one of which was Fusang soldiers, and the other team looked Chinese, but it was the Albion flag. Both teams of men and horses were infantry, and when they saw him riding with a gun, they raised their guns and shot, but Zhao Guanhou's horse was quickly familiar, and he had already rushed into the small alley first and dodged. Without waiting for the other party to pursue, he flew away, and gradually, he got closer to the direction of the Taigong Hall, but the gunsmoke in front of him became thicker and thicker.
At this time, Jinmen was in the midst of war, whether it was for fighting, or robbery, or simply for killing, it was not strange to set off guns and artillery, and it was also very common to see gunsmoke. But the problem is that the direction in which the smoke is rising now is the Zizhu Forest, where is the concession, and when the coalition forces have an absolute advantage, the concession should not be attacked, let alone on fire. The only explanation is that it is located at the junction of Zizhulin and Huajie, and it was attacked.
Judging from the location where the smoke appeared, most of the places that were attacked were their own residences. He didn't care about the house, it didn't matter if it was good or not, but ...... If there are people in it who you want to save, that's a different matter.
Zhao Guanhou's heart was cold, the war horse ran faster, he only hoped that it was not too late for him to come. (To be continued.) )
