Chapter 4 Murder and Goods

The Ma Gang witnessed a bloody massacre, and an hour ago, the Russian soldiers were simply an invincible existence in their hearts, ten times more brave and rough than the most ruthless bandits in the Kwantung region, but a quarter of an hour ago, the image of the Russian Maozi that has always been fierce and arrogant fell to the ground, and the soldiers in their fifties rushed down the mountain like evil tigers and wolves to slaughter the Russian Maozi.

A few minutes ago, the image of the soldiers who seemed to be descending from the mortal spirits also collapsed, and there was actually someone who stabbed all the soldiers with such a strong hand, almost effortlessly.

This was a very complete massacre of the 30th soldier by one person, and there was not even a single Oriental bird feather left.

My mother-in-law, my second master!

The moment he heard the shout, the old golden head was heartbroken, and he wanted to find a snow cave to bury himself, but he was the leader of the horse gang, surrounded by his old brothers, apprentices and associates, he could only stand against the fire and his scalp was numb, and carefully held his head and walked towards Song Biao.

There were still seven or eight steps away from Song Biao, he stopped and replied very regularly: "Master Shan, I am the old golden head of the local Hunjiang Horse Gang, our horse gang is an honest person, a regular person, I am helping the Russians to transport the goods on this road, according to the rules on the road, now it is yours." If you leave a message to testify, it would be great, if you don't leave a message, you might as well give us a name, which mountain, which master, we also have an answer with the employer! ”

Song Biao paid attention to the situation around him, and sometimes glanced at the old golden head, a black and thin old man in his sixties, with a pair of cloudy eyes full of fear and pain, and a pair of wrinkled and thin thick hands like dry wood, wearing a large black dogskin hat, wearing an old gray sheepskin jacket, and his weather-beaten old cheeks were covered with the wrinkles of time.

When Song Biao saw the old man's gray and thick braids again, he felt an inexplicable sense of disgust in his heart, and asked the other party indifferently: "What are all the things?" ”

The old golden head squatted on the ground, and replied with great deference and honesty: "Master Shan, I don't know, the Russians didn't say a clear word, but I estimate that there are guns and ammunition, the amount is really not light, the silver dollars are all packed in sacks, and they make a noise when they go up and down, how can there be forty or fifty thousand silver dollars, all of which are forcibly levied in the area of Vladivostok and Shuangchengzi, and you have to drag it back to know clearly." ”

"Oh!"

Song Biao pondered in his heart, and suddenly remembered a very critical question, and asked, "How many years and months is it now?" ”

The old golden head replied in surprise: "Master Shan, isn't it the thirtieth year of Guangxu now, the second day of the winter month of the Jiachen year, wasn't it just snowing (solar terms) yesterday?" At this time in previous years, there was not much snow to fall during this period of heavy snow outside our pass, and this year I am afraid that I and the Russians have fought a big battle, broken feng shui, and it has snowed heavily since the beginning of winter, and it only stopped two days ago, I think this day is going to be bad again, and I am afraid that it will snow heavily at night. ”

Song Biao asked, "How many years is A.D.?" ”

"Round?"

The old golden head didn't figure it out for a moment.

Song Biao estimated that this old man might not be very clear, so he said: "You go to the horse gang and ask, maybe some young people can understand, I am asking how many years of Western Yuan!" ”

"Oh, then I'll go to the whole understander!"

The old golden head feels that Song Biao, the mountain master, does not look like a fierce god and evil lord, it should not break the rules, grab the goods, grab the goods, eat the black and eat the black, he has been running for thirty years, this is not the first time that the mountain masters have robbed the goods, that is, this time there are really many dead people, and there are dead people everywhere.

He hurried back to the caravan, asked a few men, and came back with a young man in his early twenties.

As soon as the two came back, the young man replied to Song Biao: "Master Shan, this year should be 1904, according to their Russian Maozi calendar, it is the beginning of December 1904, I don't know what day it is." ”

Really......!

Song Biao's hunch was that during this time, after confirming that it was correct, his heart was both excited and sad, and he only now found that being separated from his parents in two time dimensions was also an abominable pain.

He was still more excited, in short, he was one step ahead of the shackles of the times, and he got rid of the chatter of a scholar.

He felt that he should do a great job and build a new China in a new way, and if killing some people could save China, he should kill the other party's whole family without any suspense.

In December 1904, it was a good time.

The Russo-Russian war .......

Song Biao pondered in his heart, always feeling that he must have a brilliant fate in this era.

The old golden head cautiously observed Song Biao in front of him, and felt that the mountain master in front of him seemed to be a newcomer who had just entered the Tao, but the other party's ability was really tough, the thirty or forty devils were all killed in one go, and he was unharmed, and there was no such powerful mountain master within a radius of three hundred miles!

The old golden head couldn't help but ask Song Biao: "Master Shan, which mountain name are you from, do you want us to pick up the goods on the spot, or follow you to the cottage?" ”

Song Biao didn't rush to answer, and indifferently pointed at the young man in front of him with the muzzle of his gun and ordered: "Squat down, don't block my sight, there were a bunch of Russian hairs just now, maybe they will come back, and the hairs on the ground are not dead, maybe they will shoot you in the back!" ”

"Oh!"

The young man seemed to have learned something new, and immediately squatted like the old golden head.

Song Biao's eyes continued to fall on those Russian soldiers, thinking about the strange things in front of him, it must be nonsense to go to the division headquarters to report now, and now he has to find a place to live and recuperate as soon as possible to seek the future.

Thinking of this, he and the young man asked, "What's your name?" ”

The young man replied, "My name is Zhao Tingzhu, the courtyard of the courtyard, the pillar of the beams and pillars, everyone calls me Zhuzi." ”

This young man's name is a bit similar, he is also a dignified young man, around twenty years old, with a Chinese face, Song Biao took a closer look at him, feeling that he seemed to have read a book, dressed differently from other grooms, and had a capable and straight physique.

After thinking about it for a while, Song Biao, Lao Jintou and Zhao Tingzhu said: "Don't toss things, when this matter passes, I will let you go." If you want a name, then say that I am Hunjiang Song Biao, Song of Song Jiang, Tiger Biao! ”

The old golden head immediately agreed: "Master Biao, don't worry, we are all acquaintances, you have the ability to get rid of all the frustrations, this is the cost of your meal." You report a place, we will send you all the goods, anyway, a vote of Russians ran away, they also know that our business is smashed, so they will not find trouble with our horse gang! What's more, you have such a skill, even if you give us eight guts, we don't dare to make you unhappy. ”

Song Biao nodded slightly, and continued to point at the old golden head with the muzzle of the gun and said: "You continue to squat here, Zhao Tingzhu, you go and call a few diligent people, and divide them into two groups according to my instructions, one group will collect all the guns of the person in one pile, and the other group will collect the guns of the Russians in another pile, and then collect the ammunition and store it separately, and finally strip me of all the money and miscellaneous items on their bodies." Xiao said that Ben is there, their ragged clothes are worthless, and the Russians' tweed gowns and hats are valuable goods. ”

He had a gun in his hand, and pointed at the old gold head as a hostage, the men of the horse gang could only listen to his arrangement, except for the three wounded, the rest of the people went to clean up the battlefield together, and searched the money and property of the soldiers and the Russian soldiers, and actually found more than 60 silver yuan and more than 2,000 rubles, the circle was only a few hundred, and two Russian non-commissioned officers also found a few ruble gold coins, which is the legendary 10 ruble gold coin, the craftsmanship is very exquisite, the front is the head of Nicholas II, and the reverse side is the double-headed eagle logo.

There were 117 rifles, 52 of which were 30, 63 of the Mosin Nagant of Tsarist Russia, and two Winchester repeating rifles. Tsarist Russia allowed officers and non-commissioned officers to buy their own guns, and at this time there were no semi-automatic and automatic rifles, and many non-commissioned officers would buy Winchester repeating rifles for self-defense, twenty-two Nagant-style revolvers, and sixteen German wooden-handled grenades.

The equipment level of this Russian army is stronger than that of the Yue army, but it was beaten so badly.

Song Biao felt that the equipment of the Type 30 rifle had not yet been fully popularized, and this small unit should be regarded as a small-scale elite force in the infantry regiment, or a scout squad with a high level of requirements and equipment.

When the guys of the horse gang picked up all the things, the snow clouds had already covered the entire sky, and the sky and the earth were dark, so Song Biao asked the people of the horse gang to carry the supplies to the nearby Erwolf Cave.

When he was about to leave, six or seven Russians finally struggled to get up and asked Zhao Tingzhu and others of the horse gang for help in Russian, and the heavy snow was coming, and in just an hour, even if the wounds of these people were not enough to kill, they would freeze to death in the wild.

Song Biao found out that Zhao Tingzhu could speak Russian, and his level was still good, this person seemed very embarrassed, but he still came over and begged Song Biao: "Master Shan, there are a few Russians who are not injured enough to die, you can do a good job, let the people of our horse gang take them on the road." In any case, they are also the employers of our caravan, and if you find it troublesome, our caravan will be responsible for watching them, tying them all up, and maybe the Russians will ask for a medical bill. ”

Song Biao took a general look and felt that the injuries of those Russians were not serious, but in this environment of lack of medical treatment, the fact that the injuries were not serious did not mean that they could live.

He thought about it for a while, and said to Zhao Tingzhu: "Okay, you can take it away if you tie it up!" ”

Zhao Tingzhu immediately clenched his fists and said: "Master Xie Biao, we are people who do the horse gang business, no matter what we do, we can't leave our employer aside and ignore it." ”

Song Biao snorted, agreeing with Zhao Tingzhu's statement. He saw that Zhao Tingzhu's age was in his early twenties, his conversation and behavior were very skilled, his physical fitness was quite good, and he could be regarded as a righteous person.

The people of the horse gang tied up the Russians who were not particularly seriously injured, because they injured a few horses, and there were not enough horses, these people could only rely on themselves to follow the horse gang, whether they could hold on to the second wolf cave was really a problem, and when the horse gang officially hit the road, the goose feather snow was just at this time when the black pressure was pressing.

There are three big caves in this area, namely the old wolf cave, the big wolf cave and the two wolf caves, if Song Biao is not mistaken, the two wolf caves are relatively far away from them, but he has been to the two wolf caves several times, understand the situation, the terrain there is conducive to defensive operations, first of all, the cave is located in a small ravine, and there are many rocks and soil slopes around it, which is suitable for ambush operations.

It's just in the evening, it's dark and you can't see your fingers, if it weren't for places like Northeast China, Xinjiang Province, and Mongolia, ordinary people would not be able to imagine that there is such a heavy snow in the world.

Fortunately, Song Biao carried a strong flashlight with him, which could show everyone the way, the old golden head was more familiar with the road in this area than anyone else, he led the way like an old camel in front, and Song Biao stood behind him, if this group of people in the horse gang had any bad behavior, he would pull the old golden head out as a hostage first.

Don't look at the gang of people in the horse gang who were very cowardly just now, it also depends on who the opponent is, in fact, most of these people are from the Lian family, if they encounter a small group of bandits, they also dare to fight with the bandits.

The most powerful thing about the caravan is not that there are horses and guns, but that they know the way, in the northeast, which is sparsely populated and full of deep mountains and forests, it is normal to get lost, and the best choice for hauling things is to hand over the goods to the caravan and let them help you transport them.

Because a few horses were injured by mines, some horsemen had to serve as laborers, using simple sleds to pull supplies, the speed was naturally a little slower, and finally when they arrived at the second wolf cave, almost everyone was frozen and cold, and their upper and lower teeth were fighting.

As soon as he entered the Erwolf Cave, Song Biao used a flashlight to find that there had been an army camp here, even the marching bedding and tents were stored, and there were quite a few of them.

When searching the soldiers of the Yue Army, he had noticed that these soldiers of the Yue Army were carrying two weeks' rations, and they only ate for four days on average, according to what Lao Jintou said, it took them four days to set off from Shuangchengzi and arrive in the area of Wolf Cave Gou, which means that this group of soldiers of the Yue Army set off almost at the same time as the Ma Gang, either the Han Jian who was bought by Yu himself within the Ma Gang, or the Yu Ben was in the Shuangchengzi area with dense eyeliner and was well-informed.

During the entire Russo-Japanese War, the army bought a lot of bandits in the entire northeast to help them fight guerrilla attacks and sabotage the logistics and supplies of the Russian army.

Song Biao knows very well that he must be cautious during this time.
