Chapter 359: Broken Dreams (Part II)

The horse bandits had little discipline, and although they did not dare to be presumptuous in front of the great chief, they could not be expected to obey the rules and remain quiet. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info wave after wave, everyone is talking about it, and from time to time there are people slapping the table and shouting, the core meaning is only one, collect the troops.

Naturally, Archo couldn't let them retreat, and cheered for everyone on the sidelines, "Your courage is too small, it really makes me wonder if you are the grassland heroes I know." This harvest is just the beginning, and you don't dare to do it anymore? If you stop at this time, you will regret it for the rest of your life. You know, there's never going to be that chance again. In the hinterland, there is more food, silver, guns and ammunition and maybe even women. You don't need to attack the fortified county, you just have to deal with the warehouses that are not much guarded, and you can get it all. Also, you can actually set fires and burn things that are not needed. The Tiele Empire will pay for your sabotage. ”

"Colonel, you say this lightly. I lost three sons this time, and my son-in-law is still in the hands of Jin Bing, and I don't know how to explain to my daughter after I go back. The boys who came out with me, they also have their own families, and I can't let all fathers lose their sons, all wives, lose their husbands. ”

"Hey man, this is war. Casualties are inevitable. ”

"That's your fight, and it has nothing to do with us Rouran."

The table was slapped in two clicks, and the scene was about to stalemate, and Tauk Tauhai coughed a few times, but the two times were still noisy, he took out his pistol and fired a shot at the roof, and both sides closed their mouths this time. Tauk Tauhai scanned the surroundings with a pair of wolf eyes

"Look at your appearance, and what else you look like, like a descendant of the great Golden Family. Have you forgotten the oath we once made? Let our horse's hooves go to every corner, and let our children and grandchildren become kings of this world. A small amount of loot is really too different from the business we want to build. The insignificant loot we have obtained so far is not enough for even a fraction of it, and you are satisfied? To be successful, we need more weapons, more ammunition, and we need artillery......"

"Bang!"

As if to add a footnote to his words, a gunshot came in from outside, and these horse bandit leaders were used to seeing big scenes, so they would not be moved when they heard a gunshot. He just subconsciously glanced out, and then listened attentively to Tauk Tauhai's speech, Tauk Tauhai coughed and was about to continue. But the sound of that gunshot seemed to be the beginning, and then the gunfire outside became denser, one after another, and with the gunfire, there was a loud sound of artillery firing.

At this moment, no one sat still, not even Archo stood up. In the previous attack, the horse bandits only captured a two-pounder cannon, and when it was placed in the compound of Tan Kee's pot like a treasure, it couldn't be that this thing sounded. Those who can have artillery will only be officers and soldiers.

There are still more than 4,000 horse bandits, of which nearly 3,000 are active in the vicinity of Liquan Town. Naturally, it was impossible for all of these people to be stationed in the town, and most of them were on guard in the forest outside the town, and there were less than two hundred guards in the town.

If the officers and troops come to attack, then the situation is not optimistic. The bandits could have moved at any time, but the loot was still in the warehouse, and it was too late to move it. Tao Ke Taohai hurriedly said: "Go outside and take a look at the situation, where are the officers and soldiers coming?" Was it by mistake, or was they really found the old camp. It's dark under the lights, and the Han people shouldn't be so easy to find here. ”

It is his first cavalry division that is responsible for the vigilance, and even if the officers and soldiers come to exterminate it, with the combat effectiveness of this army, it can still deal with the officers and soldiers for a while. With this time, there is still time to transfer. Tauk Tauhai has been in battle for a long time, but he has the demeanor of a general, and he did not panic.

On the one hand, he sent people to inquire about the news, and on the other hand, he instructed his subordinates to gather the loot as soon as possible and make plans for evacuation.

But the men he sent out had been gone for less than twenty minutes, and then they fled back in disarray, with the hat on their heads gone, and their faces covered in blood. As he ran, he said: "Officers and soldiers, there are officers and soldiers everywhere!" And the beard, our people can't stand it. ”

In terms of combat strength, 4,000 people is not a small unit, and even if the official army and the beard form a coalition to encircle and suppress it, the Rouran bandits will not be unable to hold out for even 20 minutes. In particular, they have recently updated their equipment, and many of them have taken fast guns, so their combat effectiveness should be even more improved, so that they will not be so vulnerable to battle.

But the problem is that these new guns were preferentially equipped with the 1st Cavalry Division, realizing the full rifle of the 1st Cavalry Division. Other units only received the equipment obsolete by the 1st Cavalry Division, as well as the remaining old guns, and within the troops, there was a rift.

The other is that these Rouran bandits were originally poor people with no long things, and when they were fighting, they could do their best to attack and kill at the cost of their lives. Now, because of the successive attacks, he has savings in his hands, not only weapons and ammunition, but also some materials that the Tiele people promised to pay, and there are also ready-made silver taels in the warehouse.

Some bandits secretly hid the silver on their bodies, and were ready to use the money to ransom a female slave from the old man and live with him. Thinking about buying horses and women, they have lost the courage to fight desperately. Therefore, when the coalition forces launched a surprise attack, except for the 1st Cavalry Division, the other troops did not have a resolute will to resist, but fled in panic.

They put their guns indiscriminately and began to flee when they approached wartime. This was originally the place where the Rouran people despised the Golden Soldiers the most, but now, like the part of the people they despised, they began to fear the white-bladed charge. When the projectile flew by their ears, they always thought in their hearts that if they were unfortunate enough to be shot, the silver in their arms would not know who to cheapen, and those lovely women would not have a chance to enjoy themselves, so they turned their horses and began to run away.

What they didn't know was that this time the officers and troops came in a net, and there were ambushes on all sides, and they had no way to escape. By the time some of them realized this, it was already too late, and the opportunity and strength to resist had been lost.

A commando team of 150 Fuso Army troops rushed directly into the camp of the 1st Cavalry Division. This loyal army did not lose its fighting spirit because of its net worth. But the problem is that they have too many enemies. Bullets came from all directions, and the 1st Cavalry Division was attacked on several sides, and the troops suffered heavy casualties. Several commanders were shot out by Minnie's guns one after another, and the troops lost control and could only fight separately on the scale of 100 and 10 people, and the attacking troops were divided into several parts and began to devour slowly but unstoppably.

Some of the soldiers of the 1st Cavalry Division began to flee to the town, and the formation of the team was already very chaotic, and under the decisive assault of the Fuso army, the command system was paralyzed, and there was no formation at all. The equestrian skills that the Rouran people are famous for cannot be performed due to the compression of the surrounding space. Some of the soldiers could only jump off their horses, use their horses as cover, and shoot at the armed guards.

It's just that this stalemate in shooting didn't last long, and it was destroyed by the rain of bullets left by the Wu Weijun's hands that didn't need money.

One by one, the bullets exploded in the ranks, and the horses were hit by shrapnel, neighing, and running in all directions. Frightened horses, even their own owners, could not hold them. When its master tries to keep it from moving, the horse will raise its huge iron hooves and kick it mercilessly towards the owner's chest and face.

The war horse fortifications were easily torn apart in front of the bullets in their hands, and the guns and bullets of the armed guards reaped the lives wantonly. The loyalty of the gentle and heroic man could not withstand the baptism of bullets after all, and even the most determined subordinates of Tauk Taohai could only choose to retreat at this time.

"Tauk Tauhai, we are surrounded. Gotta find a way to get out! "Moto, the captain of the guard of Tauk Tauhai, was a warrior as strong as an ox, because the shepherd had violated his fiancΓ©e, he killed the herdsman's family with a knife, and then mounted a horse as a bandit and became the hardcore personal guard of Tauk Tauhai. But even such an iron-clad man has no choice now. The entire town of Liquan has been encircled, and no matter which direction they charge, they are greeted by a relentless rain of bullets and brutal killings.

Now it is certain that the officers and soldiers did not come across this place by accident, but the location of the old battalion, which has already been mastered. The retreating soldiers from the outside filled the town's only main road.

They smashed open the gate and rushed to several pots to hide, and the owner complained a little and immediately faced each other with white blades. Most of the bandits could not enter the courtyard at all, and seeing that they could not find cover in the streets, when the officers and soldiers came in, they could only rely on their bodies to block the bullets.

Inside and outside the town, guns are being fired, cannibalism and rout, and even betrayal and betrayal are staged at any time. Many people rushed to the warehouse to get the loot, but they didn't think about how to leave. For the sake of a silver ornament, several people may have lost their lives, and even the last successful person has to stuff it tightly into his arms, which is already covered with blood.

Rifles, bullets, silver dollars...... They were looking for everything they could take with them in the pot. When they think it's about the same, they leave the pot and run out of town. Dozens of people gathered together, referring to previous experience to break through, and when they really couldn't break through, they would raise their hands and surrender, hoping to escape the search of the officers and soldiers, and find an opportunity to run away with money. What they didn't know was what a cruel fate awaited their captives.

These fugitives and wavers also cleared the way for Tauktauhai, and there was no way out of the whole town. The officers and men apparently studied the terrain carefully and blocked all the passages. Archo anxiously drew a cross on his chest, praying for God's blessing, while cursing the remaining Cossacks that if they could be here, their lives would be much better.

"Now you can't run around like a hare, you'll just be killed. Guard the Tan Kee pot and don't let anyone in, the walls here are high and thick, and they are not so easy to open. As long as we hold out until the evening, there is hope of a breakthrough. ”

Rouranren's night vision ability is better than that of Jin Bing, and there is still a glimmer of hope for success when breaking through at night. The subordinates also knew that this was the last resort, and according to Tauk Tauhai's orders, they closed the gate and lowered the three latches, and on the wall, those guards armed with fast guns, went up to the wall to defend it.

At about this moment, the officers and soldiers began to attack the town. The Fusang Army who is still responsible for the charge is still those bold and good at fighting, seeing that they have suffered heavy casualties, but they can still launch a decisive charge, Sun Meiyao couldn't help but say, "These people are really a little scary, it seems that there is no harm in letting them die more, too many lives are a scourge." ”

Feng Xi had never seen so many dead people, and he had to go to the rear to vomit for a while. Zhao Guanhou didn't care about her, and only instructed Zhang Huaizhi, "There is no need to leave the shrapnel behind, even if it is these three cannons, there is no need to stay, it is too heavy to carry." Just hit it out. All shrapnels, don't care about the cost, blast me out. ”

A burst of steel blossomed on the heads of the Rouran, and these cavalry, who had almost filled the streets, had no place to hide, but could only fall in despair in the rain of bullets, corpses piled on top of each other, blood flowing all over the street. Those who hid in the pot were not much better, and the shelling caused a fire, which in turn ignited the wine and the guns in the warehouse, and the explosions rang out one after another, and the stumps were severed and splashed in all directions.

Even the most vicious bandits could not hold out in this hellish situation on earth, including the cavalry of the 1st Division, those who stayed on the streets, blocking bullets with their bodies, first chose to surrender, followed by those who hid in pots and were busy rummaging through things.

When thousands of captives fled from the street to the outside of the town in embarrassment with their heads in their hands, the only thing left to insist was Tan Ji Burning Pot. The remaining leaders of the bandits, as well as the hardcore bodyguards around them, were all there, and there was obviously no possibility of surrender. Zhao Guanhou waved his hand

"Bring up the twenty coffins I bought from Taonan. When I bought the coffin, everyone thought I was going to learn from Pound and carry the coffin to fight Guan Yu. Let's not mention whether I need to fight so hard, just talk about a Taoke Taohai, he doesn't deserve it. Those coffins are against the walls of this courtyard. I want to see if Tieler's engineering fraud can help this high wall and thick wall. Tell those bandits that if they want to live, they will carry the gunpowder coffin to me and rush up, and whoever retreats will be killed! ”

The soldiers on guard, when they saw their compatriots rushing over with coffins, knew that it was bad, and they had also used this tactic, and of course they knew what was in the coffin. On the one hand, he scolded them for having no conscience, and on the other hand, he shot desperately, blocking the approach of these deadly coffins. However, Zhao Guanhou used his own way to govern his body, and his attack also adopted the method of filling with human lives. When the captives in front fell, they immediately filled the pit with the ones behind, and those who did not want to carry the coffin were tied to the coffin and sent down the wall together.

Under this unreasonable attack method, it didn't take half an hour for several rumbling sounds to sound, and the courtyard wall had been blown into a big gap. Zhang Yuting led the vanguard composed of the cannon heads in the locks, holding a revolver, shouting to capture Tao Ke Tao Hai alive and rushed in first. but

The truth is that he was destined to fail to capture alive this steppe hero, who was bent on building a country of Rouran, and when the wall was blown down, Tauktauhi had already committed suicide with a gun, and his young son, Colonel Archo, was directing ...... from above when the wall was blown down. The Rouran gang, which had endangered the customs for many years, was reduced to ashes in the explosion along with the dream of building a country. (To be continued.) )
