064: Ambushed chariot and horse
In the afternoon of the next day, the autumn sun shone fiercely on everything on the earth, and under the shade brought by a few cedar trees, eight men and a dog were lying down and resting, and on the top of the hillside, there was another person who was using a telescope to observe an unwalked official road, these people were Deng Shifeng and his five infantrymen, and three artillerymen who came to converge. The three artillerymen did not carry artillery, each came out with only one pistol, and letting them come here to join them was not to let them fight, but to be about to end the battle, and a certain skill on their part was needed.
These three artillerymen are none other than Lao Ma and the other two guards, Deng Shifeng's plan is to pretend to be a ghost to scare the Mo family into disintegrating the alliance of the big families in the north and south, burn down the warehouse of the fat man Zhao in the west to make him tired of restocking, and find something to do for the representative figure behind the master, but deal with the shopkeeper Liu in Liuzhou City in the southwest...... Deng Shifeng said that since this old bastard is a troublemaker, and the firm is also the opponent of his strategic partner Huang Zhangshi...... If you don't stab him, I'm really sorry for myself and my friends!! Therefore, with this kind of combat thinking, Deng Shifeng set his eyes on the Liu family caravan walking the entire territory of Liuzhou Mansion, killing his people and robbing its goods...... And by the way, I will eat the goods and horses together...... No matter how you look at it, it's a super good deal...... However, no one in the village took care of the horses, so they had to pull the old horses on them, and prepared to let the old horses help lead the horse team back to the village after the battle, and in this way, the old horses and their servants came here with a pistol and a short knife.
Because of the fact that he tossed in the warehouse of the fat man Zhao for a night last night, and Deng Shifeng and the five people who had been spinning in a row for the past few days, Deng Shifeng and several infantry were very tired, and several people were hurrying to rest in order to prepare for the next battle.
"It's coming!! The goal appears!! ”
The observation post let a cry of surprise bounce everyone from the ground, and the old horse took the binoculars handed by the sentry and observed the slowly approaching carriage and horse team in the distance, and the others watched him with eager eyes, hoping to get confirmation of the good news from him.
"That's right, it's the caravan of the Liu family, I dare to use my head to guarantee that the third escort is the deputy captain of the Liu family, this kid is ruthless, he is known as a black hand in Liuzhou City, I will never recognize the wrong person!!"
Putting down the binoculars, the old horse was used to touching the long knife on his waist, but after reaching out, he found that he was not carrying the most accustomed long knife......
"Hehe, don't bother your artillery, we infantry can do this kind of work......"
The old horse's movements naturally fell in the eyes of Luo Dan on the side, and he teased the other party with a smug smile and waved his hand: "Enter the position!" ”
Watching Luo Dan and a few infantry wearing straw clothes and straw hats enter the ambush point about a hundred meters away from the official road, Lao Ma smiled helplessly, while the other two artillerymen were indignant, they were all young and vigorous men, who could stand this bird anger. However, Deng Shifeng, who was on the other side, did not persuade much, and took three artillery and the newly recruited Chinese pastoral dogs to the back of the position, and after the fight, they would take advantage of the chaos to advance all the way to the rear of the horse team, if the other party wanted to retreat, Deng Shifeng would take these people to intercept and intercept.
Maybe it's because of the hot weather, the other party's speed is very slow, almost three kilometers of the road actually walked for almost an hour, if it weren't for the grass on the body is pulled after finding the target, or a few piles of wilted haystacks on the side of the road, sharp-eyed people can see the problem at a glance. Fortunately, Luo Dan, who is in charge of the main ambush, has undergone long-term training, which is not a problem for sunworm bites, and the old horse also noticed this problem, and looked at Luo Dan with more admiration when he looked at them.
This group of horse dealers caravan is not large, eight horses and six carriages, plus all twelve people who drive the cart and the guards, it belongs to a small caravan, and it is a little strange for Deng Shifeng to dare to come out with such a small number of people, but the old horse is next to him to solve his doubts; Caravans usually follow a very fixed route, and the conditions along the way are already familiar, so there is basically not much danger. Even if there are really robbers nearby, they are also digging and worshipping the mountain in advance before opening up the route, and the other party will also weigh it, after all, there will be a long-term income from the mountain worship every year, if there is a lack of money to block the way, send some money to buy the road and let it go, which is similar to the rules in the north. Everyone is seeking money, and if they really want to use their hands to kill and injure their own people, it will cost more money; Besides, even if he really succeeds, the other party will continue to mobilize people all over Liuzhou Mansion to concentrate on revenge. Boss Liu's words can be said well, to be able to organize people and horses to run businesses in the chaotic Guangxi territory where there are bandits, people, and soldiers everywhere, but they all need to have enough strength and energy to settle a lot of troubles in the open and in the dark......
"Then aren't you afraid that Boss Liu will smash it afterwards and guess that it is us, and concentrate on attacking the mountain village to threaten your nephew?" After Deng Shifeng understood the Tao and the mysteries, his eyes stared at Lao Ma and suddenly asked.
"Cut! We don't know how many things our business firm has done with them openly and secretly, I have fought several times with black fists, if it weren't for the bad things on the face, it would have been a lot of people who would have died and died......" The old horse spat on the ground, and added with disdain and low anger: "This Liu Haozi is very poisonous, and he always makes a bad move to hack you, and there are two people under my command who die and one is crippled in their black hands, but the other party is not pleased, I let them die two and cripple three." As for threatening my nephew...... Tell you, it's good that you didn't tell Shi Cheng all the plans for this operation, otherwise let him know that the target of this operation is Liu Haozi's caravan, and he will pull a cannon to kill all the people and horses!! ”
After listening to Lao Ma's complaints, Deng Shifeng secretly wiped a handful of sweat beads on his forehead, Special Niang Di, sure enough, his peers are enemies, this hatred value has been cultivated since childhood, this old horse don't look at the whole person and curse the other party's black hands like a gourd, but his hands seem to be darker and more ruthless than others; Of course, no matter what the world is, if you deal with villains, if you don't have a black heart and a ruthless hand, you will be killed by others a long time ago.
As he spoke, the opponent's convoy entered the ambush circle leisurely, and when the first car stepped over a stone as a signal for attack, four consecutive crisp sounds of the Xia rifle sounded, and the handlebars of the two in front and one behind the car fell on the car, and the ambush began.
The ambushed carriage and horse team was a little chaotic, and the people who came from the escort of the car to the handlebar of the car were all their own people in the trading house, and they had seen any battle formations in the north and south, and those robbers usually had little consciousness as long as they had money and money, and they were rarely conscious of their lives, how could there be such a long way to fight people with black guns there, not to mention, this black gun is also a thief who is particularly damn and beaten!!
"Steady! Steady!! Seeing that his team was suddenly attacked, the captain of the team leader shouted loudly and the somewhat chaotic team, hearing the captain's shout, the originally somewhat flustered people and horses seemed to have found the backbone, and years of experience immediately came into play, the captain and another person immediately turned over from the carriage and jumped onto the back of the two horses without a cart, ready to use the speed of the horses to lead everyone to break through or counter-assault attackers.
It has only been almost five seconds since they were attacked, and the fact that they can quickly stabilize the team in this short period of time shows that these people have rich experience, of course, they can not only stabilize the psychology of the personnel and stabilize the horses pulling the cart, because they have no one to hide their figures, these people are just standing on the official road and the seat of the car doing what they should do, and they seem to be not afraid of the attackers who shoot black guns to release black guns again.
Like in later generations, or in another 300 years, basically all people will lie down or find cover as soon as they hear the gunshots, and they will run around in fright, hoping that they will not be hit by the next bullet. And on the official road of this plane now, it is the characteristics of this plane that allow these guards to do this, so that they understand that they still have plenty of time to adjust......
It's just that they never counted, when they just stabilized the frightened horses, the attacker's second round of shooting began, at this time these people basically did not hide their figures, from the captain on horseback to the chauffeur, their obvious bodies became the best target for the attackers, and this round shot sounded a total of five crisp sounds, not only two more handlebars were hit, but even the captain who was shouting immediately was like being hit by a hammer and fell off the horseback......
Capture the thief first capture the king, this captain happened to be behind the handlebar style and it was not easy to hit it so that he dodged the first attack, but this time it was ...... You are in such a prominent position on the back of the horse, and the speed of the horse is not fast...... If you don't hit you, who will you fight! As an accurate shooter responsible for shooting important targets, the plate has been aiming at you for a long time......
The two rounds of firing had already lost half of the horse's manpower, and the five casualties of the handlebar type also completely paralyzed the team, and the last handlebar type saw that the opponent's priority target was his own chariot driver and understood what was going on, and as soon as the whip was thrown out, he slipped under the carriage. Lost the handlebar style of the car, the captain fell to the ground again, and the remaining rider and several sword and axe guards also understood that they had encountered the blade, and I don't know who shouted "Run, run out and report to the big shopkeeper!" ”
This sentence was finally the most correct judgment made by the chariot and horse team, and the remaining six people, including the little leader on horseback, also learned well, lowered their bodies, turned their horses' heads, and rushed back, while the others also ran backwards along the same path...... It's not that they don't know that the survival rate of scattered runs is greater, but from the attack to the present, they can't even figure out the number of attackers, and there is no captain to command, the subconscious instinct of human beings to hold together makes them think that it will be safer together, but they don't know, their behavior gives the attackers a better and more focused solution......
