Chapter 82: The Killing Ring (Part II)
In the temporary station of the armed trainees, the trainees who participated in the training had already fallen asleep. As Zhao Guanhou said, they are not soldiers after all, and the training is not a war, and they will not prevent someone from stealing the camp. Although the guards were assigned to deal with the errand, they all slept with their guns on their hands.
A group of strange visitors rushed into the camp like divine soldiers descending from heaven at this time, and everyone barely had time to react. It wasn't until Pang Yulou sounded the rallying call in a hurry that everyone rubbed their eyes and came out of the barracks with their clothes draped indiscriminately.
Some people were wearing the wrong clothes, some people were not fully dressed, and some were naked, and the team was very messy. The leader of the group of intruders was a pale-faced Tessie, with a monocle shining in the moonlight. Behind him, more than half of the people who followed were foreigners, and among the companions, there was also the big man Yin Wulou, and everyone knew that the matter seemed to be a bit big, and it was not as simple as checking the night.
The Prussian introduced himself, and the interpreter hurriedly translated it into Chinese: "This is Baron Bassens, the Prussian adviser to our new army, and his old son-in-law was unfortunately kidnapped by bandits while conducting geological surveys in the mountains. Today, under the order of General Yuan, you will wait for this Biao man to be under the command of my new army and go to the rescue. If there is a disobedience to the order, military law will be involved. ”
Zhou Dianchen frowned, "My military academy is under the control of the Yamen of the Governor of Zhili, and the new army yamen can't control my head." Without a letter on the peak, who can move a soldier in vain? We are short of guns and bullets, and we have no experience in mountain marching operations, so we responded to the enemy in a hurry, who will bear the problem if something goes wrong? Furthermore, this official is called by the government class, what authority does he Yuan Weiting have to command me? ”
Yin Sheng snorted coldly, and said in a non-yin and non-yang manner: "Lord Zhou, are you really confused or fake." This matter is related to foreigners, do you think you can resist a word from foreigners? If your people refuse to obey the order, it will lead to a diplomatic conflict in the future, and Prussia will protest, and you can bear this responsibility! ”
Pang Yulou hurriedly stepped forward and played a round field: "Your Excellency." It's not that we resisted the order, but it's really that our team is all students who have just entered the school, and although there are many of them, their combat strength is weak. At the same time, the equipment is insufficient, and the situation of the bandits' nest is unknown, and rash action may damage the treasure of the Ba people, and we cannot afford this responsibility. ”
Yin Wulou was stunned for a moment, but he also felt that what he said made some sense, so many people rushed over recklessly, and it was easy to hurt people's lives. At this time, in the crowd of students, a man with a simple face rushed out and kowtowed in front of Yin Sheng, "If you go back to the adult, this bandit's lair, the villain knows." ”
In the ruined temple, looking at the dead body of Minions, Bi Gongzi had a sense of frustration that he was being played as a monkey. His brother's name is Sanxiang, and in the land of Yan Zhao, he is also a hero with a big face. Under the order, I don't know how many heroes are willing to be driven by him, since he arrived in the Northland, he has been greeted everywhere, there are banquets everywhere, and when have he been affected by this kind of wretchedness.
Chasing one person with dozens of people was originally thought to be a sure victory, but it turned out to be a tragedy. More than half of the traps placed by these thieves were moved by Zhao Guanhou. Although these bandits are from the mountains, most of them are night blind, and even if they have torches and kerosene lamps, they can't see the road clearly. Everyone relied on geographical familiarity and relied on experience to act, and as soon as the position of the trap changed, they suffered greatly.
The two minions failed to pursue and lost their lives, even a rifle was taken. Even greater than this loss was the fact that more than five minions were injured by their own traps, which were used to hunt wild boars and other large animals, and if people were hit, they would become crippled even if they were cured.
In order to take care of these five people, the local bandit army basically lost its combat effectiveness. Only the owner of the village could still move with them, and everyone else could only watch the wounded screams wail on the ground. This time, they had to retreat to the temple, but they found that the opponent had successfully diverted the tiger from the mountain and fell into a bad deed. The corpses of those who had been left behind lay on the ground, and the cannons were left alone, and there was no one else. Not only foreign tickets, but even their own wounded have disappeared.
The screams and being fooled by the other party had a fatal impact on morale, including the two daredevils who voluntarily signed up in the Lianghu Strong Society, who were a little depressed at this time. One person suggested, "I think we're thinking about how to leave instead of how to find someone." It's not safe anymore, and even our plans may be in danger of leaking, so I suggest that everyone move immediately. ”
"Transfer? Where can it be transferred? Besides, Ye'an was taken away by the Eagle Talon and the Tessie woman, and we can't let him fall into the hands of the government, no matter what, we have to save people. Don't forget, we are all colleagues in the Strong Society, we must help each other, and if we don't save each other, how can we be worthy of those who died? ”
Several of the companions were speechless, and they looked at each other, all a little embarrassed. The forest at night, not friendly to everyone. Although they are all proficient in martial arts, they have not been trained in jungle warfare, and it is difficult to even move in the forest, and as for finding people, it is even more like looking for a needle in a haystack.
It was probably God's intention to fulfill them, and just when a few people were hesitant and didn't know where to find someone, a gunshot suddenly rang out outside the broken temple. Several people drew their guns and looked for cover to hide, but Bi Yongchun, the son of Bi, did not move
"What are you afraid of, can he still fight cattle across the mountains? It's so far away, who else can you hit? He shot not to hurt, but to provoke. This person is consumed with us, and he must be solved, otherwise nothing can be done, even if he wants to leave, I can't leave! ”
The leader saw that his subordinates were seriously injured, and his eyes were on fire, "That's right, Bi Daxia is right, I don't share the sky with him." You wait, I'll kill him. ”
"Advance and retreat together, not alone." Bi Yongchun stopped him and distributed the spear, "Let's go out together, so as not to be broken by him." I'm afraid this person is lying to us, not only is it not a clever blindfold, but it is a night eye that is unique in ten thousand. At night, it is very bad for us to fight with such people. If they are separated again, I am afraid that they will take advantage of it. Everyone gathers together and wins with a platoon of guns. ”
In the forest, Hannah bites open a fixed load, fills it into the chamber of the gun, and rams it with a stick. It was much more difficult to accomplish all this in the night, and the lack of battlefield experience and nervousness made her movements a little out of shape, and her speed was even slower.
Whether the reason for this tension came from a possible enemy, or from the young man of the East beside her, even she could not tell. The Prussian girl was not a Jin woman, she was not conservative, and as the daughter of a nobleman, she often participated in social interactions. But somehow, she always felt that her heart was jumping extremely fast tonight, and many things that she could usually do well could not be done well today.
Zhao Guanhou had already filled the six rounds of the revolver and refilled another rifle with ammunition. In the darkness of the night, the figure of a devil touched his location, and the number of people was much smaller than when he was hunted down. Zhao Guanhou sneered twice and muttered in a low voice, "Come on...... Come all...... Come to Daddy...... Let me take you home. Then he stabbed the wounded man he placed beside him in the leg with a dagger, and the member of the strong school named Yean couldn't help but scream in great pain.
The cry was like a signal, giving the pursuers a clear goal, and everyone rushed in the direction of the screams. Zhao Guanhou looked at Hannah, "Please pay attention to concealment, I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to take care of you." ”
"You just have to take care of yourself!" Hannah said unconvinced, but the slight shaking of her body still revealed her current nervousness.
Zhao Guanhou was holding a long-used smoothbore gun with a service life of more than ten years and a limited effective range. He was not in a hurry to shoot, but took a good time to watch the people under the mountain, in the forest, staggering forward.
A sturdy man bent his waist and moved forward quickly, suddenly snorted, his body was shortened, and the person next to him hurriedly grabbed him, but found that he had been laid a simple trap on the ground at some point. If it were in the daytime, this trap would not be of much use, but at night like this, the slightest mistake would cost you blood.
His companion supported him and tried to help him to the rear, but the man resolutely stopped him. Instead, they gritted their teeth, used their spears as crutches, and continued to move forward, apparently knowing that at this time, they could no longer be assigned to take care of the wounded. Moreover, after the prisoner's companion screamed, he stopped moving, which also made everyone a little worried, and they didn't know what was going on.
Suddenly, a gunshot rang out, and a child of the Huguang Qiang Society fell to the ground without saying a word. Bi Yongchun was shocked, why didn't he see where the person was, and the bullet had already hit? Is it impossible to meet the so-called sharpshooter yourself?
He hurriedly waved his hand and shouted: "Use a platoon gun!" More than a dozen rifles opened fire at the same time, and as premeditated, a salvo came at the place where the guns rang.
At this time, the hit rate of guns and bullets is generally not high, and the lack of accuracy can only be made up by quantity. Even if it misses, it can form fire suppression. After a volley of guns came through, the men rushed to the target as fast as they could, not even having time to reload a second time.
Although it is said that we act together, we have different speeds and slows, and there is always a first and a last. A member of the Strong Society was extremely agile, jumped up the hill in one step, and then found his companion lying on the ground, and shouted, "I see him, Brother Yean is here." Then he leaned down to check his breath and saw that he was still breathing, proving that the man was still alive, probably knocked unconscious. Hurriedly pulled his body and shouted at the same time, "Brother Yean, Brother Yean." ”
The other companions, along with the minions who attacked, also came over one after another, and a minions who knew the way of medicine said: "I'll take a look at how this master is injured." But as he leaned down to examine the wound, he heard a strange "snort".
Just as he was wondering where this voice came from, the strong member's face had changed greatly, and he exclaimed, "It's not good, let's go quickly, ......" A loud bang sounded, and the fireworks of the god of death burned happily.
Bi Yongchun did not rush forward, and since there was no fight on the mountain, he did not know whether the hated enemy had escaped or had been hit. He hoped to find the eagle dog as soon as possible rather than save people, and only by solving him could he feel at ease.
It wasn't until the explosion that he turned his attention back to the mountain, but saw that the flames had already risen, and the minions who had not yet rushed to the hillside had fled downward.
These little bandits are just robbing houses and houses on weekdays, robbing the skills and courage of some passers-by, and this time they were asked to do big things, more because of the prestige of the Bi brothers, as well as the food and fast guns. Encountering such ruthless people is beyond their capabilities. When the explosion sounded, these people were first frightened, and they fled as if they were dead, even throwing away their rifles. As he ran, he said, "That's amazing!" There is a demon law! This is definitely a demon law. ”
The leader angrily swung his knife and slashed one of the men who ran at the front, and grabbed the other one "What the hell is going on, what is that?" ”
"No...... I don't know. Could it be that he has a cannon in the woods? The minion was already frightened, and replied indiscriminately, even the owner of the village knew that there could be no cannon hidden on it. However, he couldn't figure out how this kind of thing happened.
Bi Yongchun has suddenly realized that the Liangguangqiang Society has contacted him, just to buy foreign gunpowder from him, and the reason why he has foreign gunpowder is because the imperial court sent him to study fried eggs, could it be that he really succeeded in researching and brought one with him? Since he took Ye'an away, there was only one purpose, to use Ye'an as a trap and fried eggs as a means to wipe out all of his own people.
The thought of catching these four words in one net made him feel a chill. From the very beginning, one's side decided that one's own side was the hunter and the opponent was the prey. But if it is the other way around, Zhao Guanhou planned to hunt his own group from the beginning......
He shook his head, he always felt that this idea was absurd, even if all the people who came were wiped out, there were still nearly ten people on his side, everyone had guns, at least they could protect themselves, how could they be killed by one person.
The leader really wanted to avenge his subordinates at first, but now, his courage is gone. came to Bi Yongchun and said: "Bi Gongzi, the situation is not quite right, this dog official has too many means, I am afraid that it will be difficult for us to catch him." As...... Stay out of the way for now. ”
"Alright! Stay out of the way. Bi Yongchun nodded, ten people avoid one person, this kind of thing always sounds a bit absurd, but it is the case. This time, I was full of ambition and bombarded the demon woman's plan, but I am afraid that it can only be stillborn.
When the other party fired the platoon gun for the first time, Zhao Guanhou had already begun to transfer, and after he finished the shot, he threw away the rifle, snatched the gun from Hannah's hand, and carried her on his back, and ran wildly. Hannah was a rare tall girl, much taller than an Oriental woman. If it weren't for Zhao Guanhou's own height of more than 1.8 meters, it would be really difficult to escape with her.
Hannah whispered two whispers of protest at first, but when she heard the volley of gunshots, she stopped talking. Zhao Guanhou ran very fast, as if for him, there was no difference between night and day, Hannah only felt that there was wind in her ears, and her heart was both nervous and a little exciting. A black shadow appeared on the opposite side, and the other party didn't seem to expect them to rush down, but before they could speak, Zhao Guanhou's dagger had already been thrown, piercing the minion's throat.
When the explosion sounded on the hillside, Zhao Guanhou had already put Hannah on the ground and put the rifle in her hand, "Brave girl, from now on, you have to learn to protect yourself." I'm going to get rid of the rest of the people, and you're going to take care of yourself. If someone comes, give him a shot, is it done? Of course, I am the exception. ”
"I ...... I can. Hannah's face turned red inexplicably, but fortunately, it was night, and the other party would definitely not see it, otherwise she would be embarrassed. But she grabbed Zhao Guanhou again, "They...... There are a lot of them. If you want to destroy them, I think you can wait for my father to borrow an army from your Lord Yuan, instead of letting you take the risk yourself. ”
"Thank you for your concern, but if these people live, it will not only be a threat to me, but also to my family. Therefore, I can live comfortably after cutting the grass and eradicating the roots. Even if Ling Zun transferred people, they were afraid that they would also escape. I don't want to leave any hidden dangers, I have to clear them. ”
Seeing him raise his revolver to leave, Hannah couldn't help but ask again, "Can you tell me your name?" ”
"Martial Arts Academy, Zhao Guanhou."
After he said this, the person had disappeared into the darkness, and Hannah looked at his back, but there was an inexplicable sadness in his heart. "He is truly like a knight, may God willing, so that this knight can defeat the savage primitives......"
The wind blew away the smell of gunpowder smoke after the explosion, and when it was closer, Zhao Guanhou could smell it. This smell reminded him of the night on the dock in his previous life, and it seemed that this time he brought out a fried egg was the right one.
These strong societies and the like, he doesn't know where the bottom line is. It seems that some of them are still very personable, such as having them, and no one violates Hannah. But for others, it's not good.
No matter what they are for, or what ideals they have, in short, since they are standing on the opposite side of themselves, it is better to send them to the west as soon as possible. The crowd that fled in a hurry had already fallen into his eyes. They carried their companions out of the ruined temple, carried them on their backs or on their backs, and staggered towards their bandits' lair.
Zhao Guanhou hummed softly, "Ten little black people, running for food, choking to death can't be saved, ten still have nine ...... left" and then pulled the trigger.
One of the bandits fell in response, and the others shouted in horror, "That kid has caught up!" But instead of turning back to fight, they scattered and fled. Their courage has been broken, and the whole army has turned into an extremely extravagant fantasy. Only Bi Yongchun and the leader turned around, and the revolver in their hands shot wildly, but Zhao Guanhou retreated into the darkness at this time.
"Bastard! Have the ability to come out, one against the other! The leader, in a fit of rage, ran out of bullets from his gun. This type of revolver is very difficult to reload, and as a novice, it can take more than three minutes to complete a single shot. While he was depressed and loaded with ammunition, he scolded loudly, "What kind of hero, we will find your home one day sooner or later......"
The gunfire rang out again, and the reloading leader fell to the ground. Zhao Guanhou rushed out like a ghost, and the revolver in his hand shot one after another, and several other minions with guns fell to the ground one after another, "Don't you want to see me?" Okay, I'll come out now, what are you going to do next? ”
