Chapter 9: Capturing Zhong Ming Alive
Liu Weimin had already started the car when Luo Jianrang was ready, and as soon as he heard the departure, he immediately released the clutch, and as soon as he stepped on the accelerator, the warrior car quickly drove towards the position of the red-clothed cannon.
The original location of the warrior car was a flat ground paved with stones in front of the city gate, which was very flat, so the car accelerated very quickly, and ran about 500 meters to the right front to the position of the moat, the moat had already been filled in by the Qing army, and the armored car crossed the moat after a few bumps. After passing the moat, the ground was already very uneven, and the car began to jolt. Lai Fu's hands were handcuffed, he couldn't grasp anything, he was staggered upside down in the car, his head was dizzy, and his heart became more and more frightened.
It was getting closer and closer to the mountain bag where the red-clothed cannon position was located, Luo Jian estimated that it was seven or eight hundred meters away, and seeing that three or four hundred soldiers had gathered in front of the mountain bag, Luo Jian turned his head to Liu Weimin and said: "Stay close for a while, I will turn on the headlights as soon as I start, and keep honking the horn." ”
When it was estimated that he was only more than 400 meters away from Xiaoshanbao, Luo Jian roared, "Xiao Wang, fight!" "The effective range of the 7.62 mm machine gun on the roof of the car is 600 meters, which is enough to effectively kill the enemy.
Wang Qiang held the handle of the machine gun and kept staring ahead, he had already waited impatiently, and when he heard Luo Jian's shout, he immediately pulled the trigger and began to shoot at the Qing army in front of the mountain bag. The machine gun on the roof of the car fired extremely fast, and after the gun rang out, I saw that the Qing army in front of me fell in an instant, and when I saw the people in front falling, the Qing soldiers in the back began to panic and retreated backwards. Geng Zhongming was supervising the battle in the back, and when he saw the Qing army retreating, he led more than a dozen personal soldiers to brandish waist knives and shouted, "Don't retreat, and those who retreat will be killed!" ”
Luo Jian looked at the right front from the window of the car, and did not shoot, the effective range of the Type 95 rifle is 400 meters, this distance accuracy is too poor, Luo Jian does not want to waste bullets.
"There are a lot of cavalry on the left." Liu Weimin suddenly shouted. It turned out that more than 100 cavalry of the Qing army's white-armored soldiers who were waiting to attack the city in front of the right side of Shanbao came around from the left front, but Luo Jian did not see it on the right. Wang Qiang on the roof of the car also saw it, and quickly turned his pistol to shoot at the Qing cavalry, turned to the far left, and found that the cavalry was still not within the shooting range. The white-armored cavalry was extremely fast, and soon ran from the left rear to a distance of only thirty or forty meters away from the armored car, and some cavalrymen were already on their horses and shot at Wang Qiang on the roof of the car. The Qing soldier's arrows rang out on the circular baffle around the machine gun, Wang Qiang shouted anxiously on the roof of the car, and suddenly an arrow flew over Wang Qiang's helmet, and Wang Qiang shrank his neck in fright.
"Get in the right direction!" Luo Jian turned his head to see the situation clearly, and hurriedly yelled at Liu Weimin. When Liu Weimin heard this, he stepped on the brakes and struck sharply to the left, and the hit was too fast, and the armored car had the feeling of drifting, throwing Wang Qiang from side to side in the car.
As soon as the direction was thrown over, another arrow was shot at Wang Qiang's chest with a machine gun, hitting him in the chest. The white-armored soldiers behind saw Wang Qiang hit the arrow and shouted in unison, "Shot!" Shot! The cavalry used a riding bow, which was not as strong as a rifle bow, Wang Qiang felt that he had been pushed, but the strength was not great, he looked down at the arrow staring at the body armor on his chest, was furious, and roared, "Grandma's!" He didn't care about it, he picked up his machine gun and fired at the white-armored cavalry in front of him, and as soon as a shuttle bullet passed, he saw two cavalrymen planting their horses, and a red horse behind them flew out of the neck of a bloody sword, ran forward a few steps and fell to the ground, throwing the cavalry on his back several meters away.
Wang Qiang's eyes were red when he was shot by the arrows, and the white-armored cavalry who was holding the machine gun and rushing around was a long circle, and the machine gun with a rate of fire of more than 1,000 rounds per minute was the natural nemesis of the cavalry, and the white-armored cavalry whose speed had slowed down in an instant was knocked over more than a dozen, and I don't know whether it was a horse or a horse. From the rear of the charging cavalry, "Retreat!" was heard. Hurry back! Most of the cavalry pulled the reins, and the galloping horses neighed, turned a big arc and went around, and the riders on the horses were one with the horses, and they seemed to have excellent riding skills. Wang Qiang was playing well, seeing this scene, he was very envious, and thought that he must get a high-headed horse to ride when he turned around, how majestic. Thinking in his heart, his hand was not loose, but the muzzle of the gun was consciously raised upward, aiming at the cavalry on the horse, and in the blink of an eye, three or four more cavalrymen were knocked off the horse.
The armored car hit the direction, but Luo Jian's side was facing Xiaoshanbao, seeing that the Qing soldiers of Xiaoshanbao took a few steps back, and were forced back by Geng Zhongming, who was supervising the battle behind, with his own soldiers, seeing that the armored car turned around and turned to the cavalry, no one shot in this direction anymore, and the people slowly gathered together, and the Qing soldiers in front of them took a row of shields from nowhere, and slowly forced them in this direction with shields. There was still a distance of three or four hundred meters, and Luo Jian didn't care about it, but only stretched out his head to watch the white-armored cavalry being beaten by Wang Qiang and running away, and a few war horses without their owners slowly ran away.
Wang Qiang held the machine gun and chased the white-armored cavalry all the way over, and when the white-armored soldiers ran out of the range and range of the machine gun, Wang Qiang looked at the people and horses lying in front of him, not to mention more than 30 horsemen. Liu Weimin kept watching with the steering wheel, and saw that the white-armored cavalry had run away, so he turned the direction again, and continued to move in the direction of the red-coated artillery position.
Although the road was bumpy, the speed of the car was not slow, and it was less than 200 meters away from the Qing soldiers who were holding shields. Wang Qiang didn't continue shooting, this kid was worried that the bullets were gone, and at this moment he was lying on the roof of the car and opened the cartridge box of the machine gun, Luo Jian heard Wang Qiang shout "Ah! I didn't know what was going on, so I hurriedly turned around and shouted, "Xiao Wang, what's wrong?" "After fighting for so long, there is no shortage of bullets!" Wang Qiang's excited voice came from above.
Hearing what Wang Qiang said, and thinking of Liu Weimin's statement just now that the fuel tank was full, Luo Jian was also confused. Seeing that he was getting closer and closer to the Qing soldiers, Luo Jian didn't have time to think about it. Turning back to the king, he yelled, "Keep fighting!" "I've been shooting for so long, my ears are buzzing, and I can't hear it if I don't roar. As he roared, he raised the rifle in his hand and shot at the Qing soldiers.
The sound of machine guns overhead rang out again, and the Qing soldiers in front fell one by one like cutting wheat, frightening the rest of the Qing soldiers to flee in all directions. Geng Zhongming led his own soldiers, brandished his waist knife, and yelled in the back: "Don't run!" But it was useless, three or four hundred people ran away in a blink of an eye, and there were only a few dozen left, and Luo Jian had already seen Geng Zhongming's different outfit from ordinary soldiers.
"Xiao Liu, hurry up, there's a big official in front, don't let him run away!" As soon as Liu Weimin stepped on the accelerator, the armored car rushed forward. With the non-stop firing of the machine gun, the remaining dozens of people in front fell more than a dozen, and the rest of the desperate ones rushed out, and no one paid attention to Geng Zhongming's scolding anymore.
Seeing that the situation was not right, Geng Zhongming's personal soldiers in front suddenly came up and surrounded Geng Zhongming in the middle, and someone said, "The shield is useless, run away!" As he spoke, a group of pro-soldiers surrounded Geng Zhongming and galloped towards the horses behind him.
When it was about to rush the slope, Liu Weimin hurriedly reduced one gear, stepped on the accelerator tighter, and the armored car rushed towards the mountain bag with black smoke. Luo Jian saw that he was only forty or fifty meters away from a group of senior officials wrapped in personal soldiers, raised the rifle in his hand again, and shot directly towards this group of people. The group was so tightly surrounded that three or four were knocked down in an instant, and the others ran faster. Luo Jian was afraid that the people in front of him would run away, and roared in his mouth: "Hurry up!" Hurry up! "I shot at another long point, only to find that the gun was out of ammunition. Stretched out his hand to unload the empty magazine, took another magazine and stuffed it into the gun to load, only to stretch out the muzzle, but saw a group of people in front of him fall four or five, it turned out that Wang Qiang chased the fleeing Qing soldiers for a while, and finally saw a group of people in front of him who ran fast but did not disperse, turned the muzzle of the gun and hit it.
"Xiao Wang, don't fight, Xiao Liu, go around to the front of these people and stop them!" Luo Jian roared. The gunfire stopped, and the armored car rushed towards Geng Zhongming's right front with a terrifying roar.
Geng Zhongming's fate was big, and only four people were left with his own soldiers dead, but he was fine at all, he was dragged by two personal soldiers and ran so much that he couldn't breathe. The hill is not very steep, and people can't run past cars. Four or five people were running vigorously when they heard a roar rushing from the right front, and in a blink of an eye they were already blocked in the way of several people escaping. As soon as they saw the "monster" rushing in front of them, several people stopped running, supporting each other and staring at the armored car until they gasped.
Seeing that several people had been stopped, Liu Weimin stopped the car more than ten meters away from them.
Luo Jian saw that there were only four or five people in front of him, Luo Jian put down his rifle, picked up the pistol, opened the car door and got out of the car, and said to Wang Qiang in the car: "Xiao Wang, pay attention to vigilance!" Carrying a pistol, he walked towards Geng Zhongming and his group of five.
Geng Zhongming and several people stared at the armored car, and when they saw the car door open and a person stepped out of the car, they glanced at each other, Geng Zhongming said in a low voice: "Two people, kill him!" Hearing this, the two soldiers with waist knives couldn't take care of their breath, and rushed towards Luo Jian with their waist knives. Luo Jian saw it, stopped, and looked at the two coldly, but did not immediately raise his gun. When the two rushed to three or four meters in front of them, Luo Jian raised his pistol and "呯, 呯" was two shots, and the two were immediately knocked to the ground.
After knocking over the two of them, Luo Jian walked towards the three of them unhurriedly, stopped when they were three or four meters away, and said to the three of them with a pistol, "Throw away the weapon in your hand, you are not allowed to move, whoever moves will be killed!" The three of them looked at Luo Jian in horror, Geng Zhongming did not have a weapon in his hand, and he had a long sword tied to his waist, but he did not pull it out. The two soldiers hesitantly turned their heads to look at Geng Zhongming, and Geng Zhongming said in a trembling voice, "Throw the knife away!" Hurry up. He also untied the long sword from his waist and threw it in front of the left.
Seeing that the three of them had no weapons in their hands, Luo Jian turned around and shouted to the car: "Xiao Liu, quickly find a backpack rope!" Liu Weimin tossed around in the car for a moment and walked over with a backpack rope. Luo Jian pointed a gun at the soldier on the left and said, "You come first!" The pro-soldiers did not dare to disobey and walked over. Luo Jian asked Liu Weimin to tie his hands together, and asked Geng Zhongming in the middle to come over and do the same. Luo Jian is very careful, neither he nor Xiao Liu have received combat training, and these are veteran ruffians in front of him, but he doesn't dare to be careless. Liu Weimin was reluctant to cut the backpack rope, and tied the hands of the three with a rope to form a string of "sugar gourds".
Luo Jian glanced at it, Xiao Liu was tied very tightly, and the backpack rope was very strong, and the three of them couldn't break free, so he opened his mouth and asked Geng Zhongming, "Who are you?" The helmet on Geng Zhongming's head ran crookedly, and the armor on his body also ran loose, looking very embarrassed. Hearing Luo Jian's question, he trembled and said, "I am Geng Zhongming, the king of Huaishun in the Great Qing Dynasty. There was fear in his voice. When Luo Jian heard this, he laughed and said to Liu Weimin: "We have a big fish in the net!" The prince is a big traitor! Can't let him run anymore! ”
