Although the Li family has been a bodyguard for many years, he has fought against the Green Forest Xiangma strongman many times, and he is not afraid of fighting. However, in essence, they are still Jianghu people rather than military warriors, and the professional habit of not fighting if they can not fight has been deeply imprinted into their thinking.

Moreover, the backers of the Flying Tiger Regiment are very hard, and when it comes to the relationship between the government and the government, Siheng is not as good as the Flying Tiger Regiment. If the killing and wounding here is too heavy and a mortal feud is formed, the retaliation of the Flying Tiger Regiment in the future is also a matter that needs to be considered.

In addition, the situation of this convoy is not conducive to combat. Although there are thousands of guards, due to the protection of vehicles and the limited width of the road, the huge team is now like a long snake, and the distance between the front and back is very wide, and the people in the back team have to walk for a while if they want to come to the front team. Everyone has seen the momentum of the Flying Tiger Regiment, and once the fight starts, it may bloom everywhere, be attacked everywhere, and meet the enemy with scattered formations, most of them will have to suffer a lot.

Even the old dart head of the Li family dart shop was a little hesitant, but the dart walker had to listen to the owner of the goods after all, and he couldn't make up his own mind. Wang Wu pulled out the broad-bladed single knife behind his back, "The people of the Flying Tiger Regiment dare to stop the merchants in broad daylight, I think this is a group of horses, go over and take a look, I don't believe they dare to do anything." ”

Zhao Guanhou also said: "That's right, if we stop now and wait until it gets dark, the situation will be even worse." Besides, the road in the forest is even more difficult to walk, and when we get off the official road, our silver car will not be saved. Now it's a fight for a breath, whoever has enough gas will win. Let's go to the front and take a look, I don't believe what tricks the Flying Tigers can play. ”

There was nothing wrong with the men of the Li family's dart shop, in the middle of the road, a few big trees were put down, and some big stones were used as roadblocks. Behind the trees, part of the official road was destroyed, and several large potholes appeared, and if you wanted to pass through, you had to remove the barricades and fill in the pits.

A little farther away, the banner of Fujin and the Extinction of the Ocean was dangling like a demonstration. In the forest, flags can be seen waving around, and the occasional clash of weapons can be heard. Because of the shade of the trees, it was impossible to see how many people were hidden, and this kind of battle was the most difficult to fight, and if you were not careful, you could be ambushed, and it was not for nothing that the fellow proposed to avoid it.

Akdan rushed over, looking at this scene, he was also a little angry, raised the big order in his hand, tore his neck and shouted, "Which senior brother of the Flying Tiger Regiment is here?" Come out and talk. This is the great order of the prince, and we are following the order. ”

After he shouted three times in a row, there was finally a response in the forest, "We are from the Xuanshui Altar, and we are under the order of Teacher Li to kill Ermaozi here." There are foreign hairs and two hairs and three hairs in your team, and the ones pulled in the car are the salaries of the foreign soldiers. According to Mr. Li's orders, Yang Maozi had to be killed. For the sake of King Duan's decree, we can make a discussion, you put down the silver cart, and people can leave. Otherwise, no one will be able to leave! ”

Several leading people had already rushed over at this time, and when they heard the other party's answer, Dong Jun hurriedly said, "This senior brother, you have misunderstood. I am the young owner of Siheng, we have silver here, but our own money is ready to open a branch in Shandong, not to reward the military salary of foreigners. I'm a golden man, how can I reward foreigners? As long as the senior brother lets go of a road, I am willing to donate a sum of money to pay the brothers in this altar. We have thousands of officers and soldiers guarding the formation this time, and if everyone turns their faces, it will not benefit anyone! ”

The woods were quiet for a moment, and then the voice sounded again, and a red turban peeked out from among the branches of the woods and looked out. Then it shrank back again.

"Siheng? Are you really the young owner of Siheng? Sure enough, you rich people don't have a good thing, either two cents, or three cents, or four cents. Shandong is now the world of foreign devils, and you brought the money to Shandong, and said that you didn't give foreign hairs as a reward? And hired a foreign gun team to give himself courage? I'm telling you, I'm not afraid. Our Flying Tiger Regiment has more than 100,000 heavenly soldiers and generals, four towns and eight towns, all of whom are our people! As long as you do a miracle, there will be thunder immediately. In this way, you first put down your weapons, and then follow us to the gods to burn the watch, whether you are loyal or traitorous, the gods will decide. If the gods say let you go, you can leave, otherwise you will go back to the capital for me! Our Flying Tiger Regiment wants to fight foreigners, and when you go out of Beijing at this time, you just can't trust us, you just vent our anger and destroy our skills! ”

Dong Jun hurriedly kept wiping his sweat with his sleeves, and looked at Zhao Guanhou, "My lord, how can this be good?" How many troops can we bring in? ”

"Not much, the main thing is to protect the silver car, all come to the front, and if something happens in the back, it will be difficult to prevent it. There are probably only two sentry soldiers, which can be used as mobile troops. ”

"Two whistles? It's less than 300 people, isn't it too little? Although Dong Jun doesn't understand military affairs, looking at the flags dangling in the forest, he can also feel that there must be thousands of ambush soldiers, and once the fight starts, reinforcements may be tens of thousands. It was too dangerous to deal with so many enemies with 300 men.

He gritted his teeth, "My lord, you bring in more soldiers, let's rush over first." Money and other things are always important to protect people. There were my family and the female dependents of the shopkeepers and shareholders in the car, and they must not be allowed to face these people. Now I have to give up some silver carts to protect people first. ”

Zhao Guanhou looked at Dong Jun, his eyes were a little more approving, and then looked at Shigege and Jensen, "What do you think?" Jensen, you foreigner, but they have to be killed. Aren't you afraid? ”

Jensen smiled charmingly, "With you by my side, why should I be afraid?" I am very satisfied with Mr. Dong's performance, and it seems that he is a partner to work with. I think the cooperation between Warby Bank and Siheng will go very smoothly. Provided, of course, that these pesky flies are driven away. ”

Yuqing also gritted her teeth, "If it weren't for these people making trouble, Amma wouldn't have beaten me with a whip, and he wouldn't have made us leave Beijing in such an embarrassment, my injuries are still painful, and I'm trying to find someone to spread fire!" As she spoke, she had already asked for a rifle from a soldier, skillfully poured in the gunpowder, bit open the oil paper packet, tamped the lead, and then took aim.

Dong Jun saw that Jensen was also aiming with his gun, obviously deciding to fight, and hurriedly waved his hand, "Don't be in a hurry, a few people, don't be in a hurry." We discussed this matter slowly, they have a lot of people, we have few people, so we have to transfer all the manpower......"

"Don't bother!" Zhao Guanhou smiled and shouted into the woods: "Listen, the people inside, come out immediately, remove the barricades, fill the road, we can not blame the past." Otherwise, the hundred cannons we carry will turn the woods where you are hiding into a sea of fire. All artillery ready! ”

In the forest, several people gathered together and muttered in a low voice, "Senior brother, I think it's better to withdraw!" This battle can't be fought, there are too many of them, and there are foreign guns, we have to fight, and it is estimated that we will suffer. ”

"Yes, those darts are from the Li family, I used to be with them when I was in the green forest, these people are very good, most of us are not opponents. What's more, there is also a big sword king five, which is not easy to mess with. ”

The senior brother looked at the scattered more than 100 people around him, and also hesitated, "Don't worry, everyone, if you want to run now, we will be drenched in the rain and cold." Scare and scare them, if you can get a few silver carts, everyone will have money to spend. If you can grab a few Ermao women, let's stir up the foreign demon cave together! I can't be scared, it's not too late to run. It's all because of this rain, it doesn't rain early or late, but it's at this time, isn't this a bad thing? ”

Indeed, if it weren't for this rain, today's battle, these people would still be a little sure. In fact, the ambush set up here today is not a few hundred, but more than 3,000 people.

Li Laizhong is not ready to let Zhao Guanhou return to Shandong, whether it is Zhao Laozhu's hatred or Dong Wuxing's hatred, it should be decided, the sooner this kind of thing is decided, the more beneficial it is. He had already analyzed that although Zhao Guanhou had many people, it was impossible to gather them together.

More than 3,000 people lay in ambush on both sides of the road, attacking from the front and rear at the same time, so that they could not take care of the end of the road. Even if it can't be wiped out, it can still hurt the vitality of this force, and if you want to return to Shandong, it is impossible to break through other blockade lines.

But people are not as good as heaven, and the sudden rainstorm disrupted all Li Laizhong's calculations. One of the reasons for the vigorous development of the Flying Tigers is that since the beginning of the year, there has been no rain in Zhili, and there has been no harvest of crops. The people could not make a living, so there were more and more boxers.

As soon as the rain fell, the Tuanmin from the surrounding towns and villages immediately left their defensive areas and went home to take care of the crops. Take advantage of this good rain and hurry up to get the land right. If it rains one after another, you can ask for a harvest. As for things like ambushes, killing foreign Maozi and Ermaozi, compared to crops, what is it?

The Flying Tiger Regiment is a loose group, even Li Laizhong does not have the appeal of Zhao Laozhu, and he himself is in Beijing, so he has no binding force on the boxers, so he can't control these people to leave at all. Ten of the men and horses went to thirty percent, and when they saw the huge team of ambulances and those foreign guns and bayonets, more people fled. Including some old boxers from Shandong, they ran the fastest when they saw this formation, and only this senior brother and the less than two hundred people around him remained.

These people are mainly scoundrels and idlers in the village, as well as strongmen who beat stuffy sticks and white wolves in the surrounding green forests. They didn't have a field in the first place, and they didn't want to plow it, and the harvest was not important to them. For this party had both silver chariots and women. When the time comes, you can make a fortune, and you can still stir up the foreign demon cave, so you are willing to stay.

This senior brother is a bit of a heart, and he learned from the book reviews and other means. Anyway, Jin Bing has always been, and he may run away when he sees so many flags. When the time comes, take advantage of the chaos to kill, whether it is to grab a few silver cars or a few ladies, it is a very good income.

However, when I saw the thousands of officers and soldiers with guns, the formation was tightly organized, and the people who were doing the darts were strong and numerous, these people were a little weak-legged. But if you leave at this time, there will be no profit, and everyone doesn't know how to solve it for dinner. During this time, they have robbed a few big households and slept with a few women who can't be touched at all on weekdays, and they have become bolder.

The senior brother pointed at Jenson, "You see, how handsome that foreign woman is. If you can stir up this foreign demon cave, don't you want to? I think they are also bluffing, they have the backers of King Duan, and the officers and soldiers dare not do anything to us! Don't let them see the truth, we won't be afraid! He poked his head out and shouted, "Who are you lying to?" Just this way, can you still bring cannons? We don't ......."

Before he could finish speaking, Zhao Guanhou had already taken off his Mini rifle, which had been reloaded in the blink of an eye, and then pulled the trigger.

A gunshot rang out, and the red turban disappeared into the forest, followed by the sound of screams and the shaking of leaves. Dong Jun had already circled the horse's head and was ready to dodge the team first to avoid being attacked.

But to his surprise, the situation of ambushes in the forest and shouting for killing did not happen. On the contrary, it was the shot that shattered the courage of the people, and only the noise and the sound of the branches could be heard, and no other sound could be heard.

"Bluff!" Zhao Guanhou put away his rifle, "What they put in the forest is an empty city plan, but unfortunately the means are not clever enough, and it is easy to see the flaws." If the Flying Tiger Regiment can really ambush thousands of people and horses, but people can't see it, then they will become a spirit. That's something that can only be done by the regular army, not something that can be learned by a bunch of militia gods. They move quietly, but there are few people, and we have guns in our hands, what are we afraid of? As long as we are angry, we are not afraid of them. Come people, clear the road, and get ready to move forward. ”

The guys from the dart line and the guys from Siheng with the car cleared the roadblocks together and began to pave the road again. These pits were not dug too deep, and it didn't take much time to restore traffic. In the forest, you can still find the corpse of the regimental who was killed, as well as the flags and some knives, guns and clubs discarded by the Flying Tiger Regiment who fled in a hurry.

Yuqing wanted to shoot and kill people to vent her anger, but only one shot scared them away. In addition to being disappointed, he was a little sad, and took Zhao Guanhou's hand and said: "Although there are not too many of them, there are hundreds of them. As a result, only one was killed, and the others all ran away. Counting on such a team to fight foreigners, even if there are hundreds of thousands, it is not useful, Lafayette must not be confused this time, and really move troops with foreigners. Otherwise, we will suffer a greater loss than in Goryeo. ”

"Galeries Lafayette has been in power for decades, and she is not a person who is easily fooled, and I don't think she will let this person mess around. It won't be long before there should be a will, as long as the boxers are suppressed and the rear army of Wuwei is expelled, the country will still be saved. Besides, this is a question that the big people think, let's take care of ourselves first, and we can't take care of others. ”

By the time the troops set off again, the intensity of reconnaissance was greater than before. In addition to the men in the dart line, the scouts in the army also went back and forth to guard against the attacks of other regiments. Fortunately, although they encountered several more teams of Tuanmin on the way, they were the same as the Tuanmin they met before, they all went to Beijing to fight foreigners, and they had no intention of clashing with them, at most they had an unfriendly attitude.

That evening, the party arrived at a small village and finally did not end up sleeping in the wilderness. The people in this village knew the Li family, and Dong Jun brought enough silver to rent a house. The officers and soldiers and the men of the dart shop could only set up tents, and the ladies could go to the house to rest, eat hot food and drink hot soup, and relieve the fatigue on the road.

The men of the dart line had to put their wet clothes on the fire to bake, while the soldiers of the right army first assigned sentries to eat dry food while keeping watch around.

Zhao Guanhou, as a military commander, did not have to endure hardship, and he also had a house for him, Yuqing removed his clothes for him, wiped the water with a hand towel, and worried about whether the wound would be infected by rain. Zhao Guanhou smiled: "It's okay, the rain hasn't drenched much on your body, it's okay." Yuqing, tonight, you stay ......"

"Phew, go to your Marquise! Haven't you been looking at her feet today, she must be very happy. Yuqing's face turned red and she was about to run, but she was hugged by Zhao Guanhou from behind, and just when Zhao Guanhou was attacking the city and grabbing the land on her, Dong Jun's voice suddenly came from outside the door, "Lord Zhao, are you there?" Soldiers are coming, please take a look. (To be continued.) )
