Chapter 9: Rendezvous
On the Pheasant Qing Highway, Qiao Anbang and Qiao Wu, Cao Er and Zhong Jia Ding finally arrived at the boundary of Qing Town after nearly half an hour of running, looking at the faintly visible mountains in front of him, Qiao Anbang immediately stopped his horse, turned his head and asked: "Cao Er, how far is it from Quanshan?" ”
"Return to the third young master, five miles at most." As he spoke, he raised his hand and pointed ahead and said, "Do you see that mountain?" That's Quanshan. ”
"Hmm!" Qiao Anbang followed Cao Er's hope, nodded, and then asked, "Cao Er, can you introduce me to the specific situation of Quanshan and the bandits." ”
"Okay, Quanshan is not big, there are cliffs in the south, there are bandits in the north and east, there were no bandits in the west at that time, I just took advantage of the chaos to stand out, but now the west should also be surrounded by bandits." Cao Er replied.
"Oh? Why didn't they break through from the west with you, big brother? Qiao Anbang asked puzzled.
"Young Master, the situation was urgent at that time, if the eldest young master and the brothers withdrew, the bandits would also chase after them, and it was with the eldest young master and the brothers who attracted the attention of the bandits on the mountain that I had the opportunity to rush out and report the news! If the eldest young master had retreated alone at that time, it would definitely not be a problem, but the eldest young master gave me the opportunity to live. Cao Er's tone became choked as he spoke.
"Okay, you don't have to be sad, my eldest brother will never leave his brother to escape alone, if you don't rush out to report the news, it may really be all over." Qiao Anbang comforted, then took two steps forward, frowning in thought.
After a while, Qiao Anbang turned around and asked, "Cao Er, how many bandits did you say earlier?" ”
"Let's say there are two or three hundred people, and they have one gun and machine guns, and they are very well-equipped, this is definitely not the lock of bandits of Zhang Huzi in Quanshan, Zhang Huzi's men only killed thirty or forty people, more than ten guns." Cao Er hurriedly replied.
"Two or three hundred? One shot per person? And machine guns? Qiao Anbang was shocked when he heard this, how could such a large group of bandits appear in such a small place as Qingmachi?
"Fifth uncle, you have a lot of experience, do you know what bandits in our northern Anhui territory can have such a scale?" Qiao Anbang asked Qiao Wu behind him with doubts.
Qiao Wu stepped forward, pondered for a moment and replied: "A bandit of this scale should only be Wei Dexi from Su County." ”
"Wei Dexi? Who are they? Joan Bang asked.
Over the years, he has gradually strengthened his strength by annexing other small bandits and gathering some stragglers, and has been crisscrossing the northern Anhui border for more than ten years. However, this person has always been active in the area of Suxian and Mengcheng, and it is unlikely that he will appear in our Vortex Yang Realm. Qiao Wu was also puzzled.
"First of all, no matter which way the bandit is, it is important to save the eldest brother, fifth uncle, do you have any good way?" Jo Anbang asked.
"We have few people, and we don't have weapons, there are many bandits, and if we fight hard, we will definitely suffer, and it is very likely that we will not be able to save the eldest young master, so we will take ourselves in, so I suggest that we should rush up the mountain first, meet with the eldest young master, and then think about it in the long run." Qiao Wu replied with a frown. Obviously, he doesn't have a good way, after all, the disparity in strength between the two sides is too great, and it is only possible to break through after a round with more than 100 people from the security team.
"Well, just do as you say, meet with the eldest brother first, and then make a decision!" Qiao Anbang thought about it and nodded. Originally, before setting off again, Qiao Anbang had the idea of taking out a batch of light machine guns and mortars and other weapons from the multi-functional aircraft for rescue, but considering that many of the people in the family couldn't even use guns, it would be self-defeating if they didn't do it, and it would be cheaper for this group of bandits, so he gave up.
If he had twenty well-trained veterans, each armed with a light machine gun and two mortars, although he did not dare to say that he would wipe out all these bandits, it should not be a problem to defeat them and rescue Qiao Anguo and the security team.
After making up his mind, Qiao Anbang pulled the bolt of the submachine gun and said sharply: "Brothers, I and the fifth uncle will rush to the front later, everyone will follow behind, don't fight, let's rush up the mountain in one fell swoop and meet the eldest brother." ”
"Yes!" All the families agreed in unison.
Immediately, Qiao Anbang held the reins in one hand and a gun in the other, shouted, and urged the war horse to take the lead towards Quanshan, Yali sat in front of Qiao Anbang and quietly opened the sniper rifle in his hand.
"Drive! Drive! Qiao Wu and the rest of the family followed closely with their weapons brandished.
…………………
Meanwhile, on Quanshan Mountain, Qiao Anguo is sitting on a rock wiping his mirror box (Mauser pistol).
"Captain, something is wrong, you see." Wang Dingsheng, who had been observing the situation under the mountain, reminded loudly.
Qiao Anguo put away his gun, stood up and raised his binoculars to look.
"Captain, what do these bandits want to do?" Wang Dingsheng didn't have a telescope and couldn't see clearly.
"These bastards, it looks like they're planning to burn the mountain." Qiao An's Chinese tone was heavy, and he replied while watching.
"Burning the mountain?" Wang Dingsheng suddenly gasped when he heard this, "Damn, these bandits who are called dogs, if you can rush out, you will definitely kill them all!" ”
"Inform the brethren that I have something to say!" Qiao Anguo's face was a little solemn, and he put down the binoculars and commanded.
"Yes!" Wang Dingsheng took the order and left.
After a while, more than 100 soldiers of the security team were all assembled, and everyone looked at Qiao Anguo with doubts on their faces, feeling uneasy, after all, they were surrounded by bandits, life and death were unpredictable, who could calm down?
Qiao Anguo's gaze swept over the people present one by one, and finally said in a deep voice: "Brothers, the bandits are about to burn the mountain, and the situation is very bad. ”
"Ahh Burning the mountain? ....What to do? Before Qiao Anguo finished speaking, the soldiers exploded.
"What a noise! Give me all the quiet! Listen to the captain's instructions. Wang Dingsheng reprimanded loudly on the side.
Everyone quickly quieted down, Qiao Anguo's face was flat, and he continued: "Brothers, Qiao is incompetent, and everyone is in danger, now the bandits are about to burn the mountain, and there is only one way to die if you stay here, you have parents, wives and children in your family, brothers and sisters, there is no need to stay here and wait for death, you can go down the mountain by yourself, surrender to the bandits, and maybe there will be a way to live." ”
"What about you, Captain?" Wang Dingsheng was anxious when he heard this, and asked.
"Everyone has their own aspirations, Qiao Mou, as a soldier, as a boy of the Qiao family, would rather die than give in to these robbers under the mountain to live!" Qiao Anguo said coldly.
"If the captain doesn't go, then we won't go either! The Qiao family is as kind to us as a mountain, if we want to die, we will die together, how can we leave you alone to steal your life. Wang Dingsheng immediately blushed and said in a rough voice.
"That's right! We're not going either! One-third of the soldiers in the crowd suddenly said in unison, these were the original members of the Qiao family.
Seeing that the other soldiers were hesitating, Wang Dingsheng immediately stepped forward and said, "Brothers, everyone ask yourself, since you have entered the security team, how does the captain treat you?" To be a man must be worthy of his conscience, if the commander does not leave, how can we soldiers go first? Besides, even if you go down the mountain, those vicious bandits may not spare you. ”
"Then we'll fight with them! Spelled ...... Don't go! The soldiers said one after another.
"Captain! Brothers, don't go, give orders! Wang Dingsheng turned to Qiao Anguodao.
Qiao Anguo looked at everyone, nodded with satisfaction, and then said loudly: "Since this is the case, then let's rush down the mountain together, fight to the death with these crazy brutes, kill a few more bandits, and avenge the villagers who were harmed by them!" ”
At this moment, there was a sudden burst of gunfire at the bottom of the mountain, Qiao Anguo hurriedly raised his binoculars and looked down, only to see the bandits in the northwest corner of the mountain in a panic, gunshots and horse neighing mixed together.
"Captain, could it be reinforcements?" Wang Dingsheng guessed.
"Probably, no, it's Anbang!" A familiar figure appeared in the telescope and was rushing towards the mountain with a group of horses, Qiao Anguo was shocked, he never thought that the third brother who was not doing his job would take the risk to come to the rescue, he didn't think about it, Qiao Anguo immediately pulled out his pistol, shouted and rushed down with the soldiers to answer.
…………….
In the col at the foot of the mountain, Wei Dexi, who was smoking, and Zhao Dechuan, the military advisor, were startled by the sudden gunshots and hurriedly stood up, Wei Dexi looked at the mountain and scolded: "Damn, where did the gunshots come from, shouldn't it be that Qiu Ba on the mountain saw that we were going to burn the mountain and wanted to break through?" ”
"Big brother, please rest assured, people have been deployed to set up machine guns on the main roads down the mountain, and they will definitely not be able to escape." Zhao Desheng assured with confidence.
At this moment, Zhang Huzi ran over panting and reported: "Big brother, big brother, it's not good, reinforcements from the security team are coming." ”
"What?" Wei Dexi and Zhao De were shocked at the same time, and the former asked urgently, "How many people are there?" ”
"There are only about 20 people, and they don't look like regular soldiers, but like some family members." Zhang Huzi replied breathlessly.
"More than twenty people? Damn, even this person dares to come to the rescue, I really don't take Lao Tzu seriously! Kill them for me, and I can't let them run away! Wei Dexi said in a cold tone.
"Big brother! They also had two machine guns, and the fire was so powerful that the brothers could not stop them, and they rushed up the mountain, and the security team on the mountain also came down to answer them, and now they estimated that they had reached the mountain. Zhang Huzi said a little ashamed, he didn't know the MP18 submachine gun, and he thought it was a machine gun when he saw that it could strafe.
"Hmph, rubbish! More than 20 people can't stop it! Wei Dexi was furious when he heard this.
"Big brother! They suddenly appeared from behind, and the fire was fierce, so they took advantage of the loophole......" Zhang Beard complained with a bitter face.
"Big brother, don't be angry, but there are more than 20 people, and they can't make any waves, just kill them all, don't you just fill in more firewood." Zhao Dechuan said with a smug face.
"Hmm!" Wei Dexi nodded when he heard this, and then said coldly to Zhang Huzi: "You go and arrange it immediately, give Lao Tzu some spirits, if you let them go, Lao Tzu will fucking peel you!" ”
"Yes, yes." Zhang Huzi nodded in response, but turned around and walked away quickly.
