The two groups of black-clad night walkers inevitably met on the streets of the dark night, and for a moment they seemed to see themselves in the mirror, and they were all dumbfounded.

The two groups of people are not fuel-efficient lamps, and they reacted almost at the same second, at such a close distance, marksmanship and everything are floating clouds, and the fight is character and firepower.

The four guards sent by Xia Dalong are all strong, agile and sharp men, equipped with large mirror box guns, carefully wiped when they came, each bullet has been carefully selected, there will definitely be no smell, four heroes and four steel guns, they are not afraid to go all over the world.

Unfortunately, today Wang Degui brought a German-made flower tube, this thing is not simple, the net weight is eight catties and three taels, walnut butt, stainless steel bolt, the most distinctive is the barrel, there is a circle of perforated heat dissipation sleeve outside, so it is commonly known as the flower tube, it is equipped with a snail-shaped drum, loaded with thirty-two rounds, the fight is like pouring wind, and the bullet rain can be poured on the opponent's head in an instant, which is definitely the first weapon in close combat.

When you encounter such a terrible thing, the iron-beaten man can't resist it.

Wang Degui has been a soldier for many years, although he is only a gang head army, but it is not an ordinary gang head army, but a gang leader army under the command of Wu Peifu and Wu Marshal of the Third Division of Beiyang.

The flower tube bullet was loaded, the safety was opened, the thirty-two bullets were splashed open, and a shower of iron rain hit the head and face, and the four men on the opposite side all lay down in a blink of an eye.

Chen Zikun was afraid that they were not dead, so each of them made up another shot in the head, and the sound of the big-eyed gunshots was particularly harsh in the dark night.

"It's Xia Dalong's subordinate."

In the Xia family's mansion, Xia Dalong was sitting in danger, waiting for the good news to come, not long after the brothers went out, there was a rapid burst of gunshots, Xia Dalong frowned, this gunfire is a bit like the density of a water machine gun, but it is too crisp, I don't know what kind of gun.

Then there were four gunshots, very rhythmic, methodical, the gunshots were dull, not like the sound of a box cannon, Xia Dalong's heart tugged, and he faintly felt that things were not good.

After a while, the sound of the broken gong sounded, and the earth guard howled in a hoarse voice: "The bandits have entered the city!" ”

"Let's go! Check it out. Xia Dalong couldn't hold it back, and went out with eight nursing homes.

The lights gradually brightened up, the dogs barked one after another, a large group of idlers surrounded the street, people squatted on the roofs and trees, and there were four corpses parked on the ground.

There were a few soldiers standing next to them, and they were showing off vividly: "We were patrolling the night, and when we saw a few black shadows flying over the roof, we immediately shot them and beat them down." ”

What he held in his hand was an old-fashioned Hanyang, and he couldn't believe that this guy could kill four first-class men, and he didn't believe it if he killed Xia Dalong.

He had already recognized the four dead people as his subordinates, and the poor man who was still alive and well half an hour ago had now turned into a cold corpse, Xia Dalong's heart was overturned, and the knife was as uncomfortable as a knife.

The county magistrate and the escort envoy also rushed to the scene, the county magistrate Liu was wearing a robe and a horse coat, and Chen Zikun was dressed in military uniform, both of them pretended to have just heard about the incident, and examined the corpses with great care, announcing that these four people were the bandits who set fire to the Xia family's mansion last time.

The people suddenly realized and clapped their hands one after another.

Chen Zikun found Xia Dalong in the crowd, and immediately walked over to condole: "Master Xia, the house is okay, just say hello if you lack something, I'll let the little ones send it over, don't be polite to me, see you outside." ”

Xia Dalong didn't say a word, brushed his sleeves away, and Chen Zikun said in the back: "Master Xia should be careful when walking at night, the city is not very peaceful, maybe how many bandit spies are hiding in the dark waiting to shoot your black gun." ”

A mouthful of black blood gushed into his mouth, Xia Dalong swallowed it back again, wiped the corners of his mouth with a handkerchief, continued to move forward like no one else, and returned home full of grief and indignation, only to see several wives and concubines coming out, looking at himself worriedly.

"I'm fine, let's go back and rest." Xia Dalong waved his hand, extremely tired.

The wives and concubines didn't dare to say more, and when they went back to their rooms, Xia Dalong suddenly said, "What about Miss?" ”

"Jing Xi is in the house." The third aunt said, looking a little flustered, and didn't dare to look directly into the old man's eyes.

Xia Dalong snorted coldly, went straight to his daughter's room, and broke in to see that the cups on the bed were neat, and the person was not at home at all.

"Say, what about people?" Old Man Xia was furious.

A few maids knelt down on the spot: "The old man is angry, the young lady won't let me say, she went up to the city tower to help." ”

With a "poof", Xia Dalong spit black blood from his mouth, and he couldn't afford it, and he was dizzy with anger.

……

After such a trouble, the common people began to be afraid again, the bandits were haunted, what if they climbed into the city to kill people and set fires, under the call of the county magistrate, some young people stood up again, formed a civil defense team to patrol the streets, and got hundreds of pine oil torches inserted on the city wall to illuminate to prevent the bandits from climbing the city in the middle of the night.

The next morning, when the sky was dark, a soldier of the People's Army got up from the cold city wall rubbing his sleepy eyes, stretched his waist, and yawned.

The yawn was not finished, but the mouth was wide open, but it couldn't be closed, and at the edge of the woods in the distance, there seemed to be a lot of people in the black press.

It's bandits, bandits of brigades!

The bronze bell hanging on the enemy tower was ringed, and the mournful voice spread throughout the city: "The bandits are here again~~~"

When Chen Zikun arrived at the south gate, he was also taken aback by the bandits' formation, this is not the scale of a hundred or ten people like yesterday, but a thousand people!

Thousands of bandits who kill people without blinking, even Chen Zikun's scalp is a little numb, who would have thought that yesterday's shot would poke the hornet's nest and provoke a lot of bandits, it is estimated that half of the bandits in Nantai County have arrived.

The bandits learned their lesson and assembled outside the firing range, and Chen Zikun had a Zeiss brand binoculars imported from Germany, and when he looked at it, his brows furrowed.

The bandits are tying up a ladder!

There are woods outside the city, there are bamboo forests, the materials for building ladders are everywhere, you can make a hundred and ten casually, there are more than 1,000 bandits, and they all have experience in fighting, far better than their own group of people who have never seen blood, really fighting, Nantai City is afraid that it will not last for half a day.

Chen Zikun quickly went down to the city and was about to return to the office, when he saw two wives, Jianbing and Yao Yilei, coming hand in hand with riding boots and pistols at their waists.

"What are you two doing here?"

"We're here to help you fight."

"Nonsense, go back quickly, prepare to be soft, and run away quickly!"

The two ladies looked at each other, unable to believe that these words came out of Chen Zikun's mouth.

Chen Zikun stomped his foot: "Mally, there are more than a thousand bandits, we can't beat them at all, it's still too late to run, and if you don't run, the jade will be burned." ”

Yao Yilei said: "What you said is wrong, even if we can get out of the city, where can we run, there are bandits all over the mountains, there is only one way out of the city, and it is the right way to stick to waiting for help." ”

Jian Bing echoed: "Yes, I don't dare to go out of the city, it's still safe in the city, even if the bandits come in, it's a big deal to die together." ”

Chen Zikun said: "How can there be any reinforcements, that's me fooling them, a radius of 100 miles, there is not a single officer and soldier, the nearest reinforcements are in Xuzhou, do you think it will be too late for Chen Tiaoyuan to send troops over?" ”

Yao Yilei said: "Aren't there soldiers in Jiangnan? ”

Chen Zikun said: "That's Sun Overseer's soldiers, it's too late to rob while it's hot, can you still help us?"

Yao Yilei said: "Anyway, I won't go, I want to go, you go." Then he stepped up to the wall.

Jian Bing sighed and followed the city wall.

Chan said to himself: "Where did I say something wrong? Suddenly, he realized that the glorious image he had created was too great, and the two ladies were deeply involved in the play, feeling that their master was really a great husband who stood up to the sky and the earth, and a true hero who was willing to live and die with the people of Nantai.

"That's it! Just fight with them! Chen Zikun gritted his teeth and also went up to the city wall.

At the head of the city, there was silence, and the sound of teeth chattering could be heard, and the number of bandits continued to increase, I am afraid that there were more than a thousand people, and there was a large area of black oppression, people shouted and neighed, and the unbridled laughter was blown by the wind, and everyone heard it with deep fear.

It turned out that it was only the bandits' vanguard that was dispatched yesterday, and today's brigade arrived.

"County Magistrate Liu, what do you think?" Chen Zikun handed the telescope to Liu Youjindao.

County Magistrate Liu looked solemn: "It's too late to run, and the traces of the bandit horse team have also been found outside the north gate, this time the comer is really not good, I suggest that someone cross the river for help." ”

"Chief of Staff Yan, what do you think?" Chan asked again.

Yan Su's expression was solemn, and he said: "What the county magistrate said is reasonable, we must ask for support, it is related to the life and death of tens of thousands of people in the county, we must not be careless, before the arrival of reinforcements, we must desperately defend the city, the terrain of the county is favorable to us, there are mountains outside the north gate, there are big rivers outside the east gate, and there are swamps outside the west gate, all of which are not suitable for the deployment of troops, our pressure is at the south gate, hold the south gate, and Nantai can be protected." ”

Chen Zikun took a deep breath: "Then take action and defend the county!" ”

The news of the siege of tens of thousands of bandits spread throughout the city in a very short period of time like wings, and everyone was terrified, some people wanted to escape from the city, but when they arrived at the gate, they were frightened back, and there were bandits on all sides, and if they really wanted to go out, they would be sent to death.

The magistrate of Liu County organized thousands of strong men, with Baojia as a unit, assigned tasks, and performed their duties, some were responsible for blocking the city gate with bricks and stones, some organized blacksmiths to build knives and spears, and some people baked cakes and soup to ensure supply, and the people of the whole county were mobilized.

The first wave of the bandits' attack began, and a group of bandits on horseback rushed over with a scream, not afraid of the fire on the city walls, and in fact, with the marksmanship of those people, they could not hit the target running at high speed.

The horse bandits rushed to the bottom of the city, and their guns were thrown indiscriminately, and iron sand and bullets hit the city walls, and fragments of masonry and stone flew everywhere, stabbing several civilian soldiers, and they were immediately carried down for treatment.

After putting a row of guns, the horse bandits turned over and dismounted, using mules and horses as a cover, and continued to shoot at the city wall to suppress it, and behind, a group of bandits carrying ladders rushed up.
