Chapter 34: Ambush
The sun continues to set in the west, the sky slowly darkens, the summer sun sets late, and the daytime is tired after a long day's call.
As far as the eye can see, the roadside is full of low bushes, the hills are continuous, and the mountains are full of lush trees, and the hills are all imprinted in a golden yellow. The sun is going down, but the earth has been basking all day, and there is still hot air gushing out, which makes people feel extremely hot, especially when everyone has to carry guns and goods on their backs.
Standing on this slightly higher hill, Wang Yougui was looking into the distance, and a plain appeared in his eyes, an official road, winding into the distance.
"Finally, before the sun went down, I walked out." Wang Yougui's worries along the way finally let go, and when he left the mountainous area, he was no longer in Pan Datou's territory, and it could be said that when he went down the mountain, it was the boundary of the Biqiao Town People's League.
"Speed up!" Wang Yougui howled again at the slowly marching team on the mountain road.
On the mountain beam on the left side of the mountain road carried out by the Biqiao Town People's Group, five burly figures were closely watching the team marching on the mountain road.
The leader is closely watching the situation below with a "monocular tube", and the four next to him are all wearing revolvers pinned to their waists, their faces covered, and each of them is dressed in a power suit.
A hundred meters behind a few people, at this time, there were more than 30 soldiers with rifles squatting in three rows, and there were also some people squatting in the surrounding woods, but the weapons were much worse than those 30 people, but they could also be called fully armed, and these people were all looking at the Biqiao Town Militia below.
In addition to these people on the mountain beams, there was also a group of people in the valley not far away, wearing different clothes, holding all kinds of weapons, all leading horses, it was the golden leopard who had not moved for the past few days.
Except for Wang Yougui, the team under the mountain was in good spirits, and the rest of the people all looked like they had seen home, and the whole team was scattered and unsuspecting towards Biqiao Town.
The surrounding mountains and forests were silent, watching the sun slowly put away the last rays of light, and half of Wang Yougui's team had not yet walked out of the mountains.
The man with the monocular suddenly asked a man in black who had been standing still next to him: "Are you sure there are all guns in there?" ”
"Master Pan, trumpets have always been a penny, you pay the starting price, then we will definitely pay the right information for you, although we came to you this time, but we did not mean to fool you, that will only cut off our financial route. The little ones are sure that the boxes are all brand new imported from Germany "made in Hanyang", and the little ones watched them put them up! A man in black replied calmly.
Another strong man interjected, "That Zhao Yun is really bold, he put the gun in the village one step ahead, no wonder we didn't see the goods." ”
"Who would have thought that there was no guard in the village, so he put the gun into the village, and he thought that at least it should be placed in the arrow tower he set up, and the people sent there were all staring at the arrow tower!" Pan Datou put down the monoocular tube and snorted: "This group of people is unknown, but they are by no means good men and women, if they don't stir up trouble anymore, don't touch them!" Let's clean up this little guy below! ”
"If you are unkind, don't blame me for being unjust, if you want to deal with me, the county magistrate, then you also have to look at your strength, buy a few guns, equip some people and want to deal with me. Then pack up your nephews and nephews, and let you two old guys weigh the consequences of moving me! Pan Datou laid out the final preparations before starting.
Originally, I wanted to rob Zhao Yun when Zhao Yun went to the village, so after all, I was just bullying Zhao Yun, an outsider, but then I didn't see Zhao Yun and them bring guns into the village, and they were confused! I was told that the gun was already in the village.
I wanted to leave it at that, but Pan Datou heard the sound of heavy machine guns, which was a big deal, at least it meant that there was a heavy machine gun in the team below, so today it was decided that the county magistrate's people could not get the guns, so he asked his subordinates to contact the money leopard. set up an ambush at the intersection of Biqiao Town, and after killing him, he happened to blame the bandits. During this time, the news of the defeat in the north spread everywhere, and there were more and more bandits entering Langxi, rampant everywhere, just to make them carry the black pot.
The terrain here is full of hills on both sides, and there is a valley mouth not far in front, and out of this place, it is the plain, even if you escape from the mountains, you can't escape the pursuit of the horse bandits. Today's events must be slaughtered to the fullest, so that no one escapes. The crime of killing people and seizing guns is not small, and if one person escapes, the matter will spread, and it will definitely cause a great uproar, and then it will be an open war with the county magistrate.
Moreover, this place is uninhabited for several miles, and the nearest village is five miles away, but it has been swept by the people of the Golden Leopard a few days ago, and now it has become an empty village. This is the ideal place to set up an ambush, so that no information will be inadvertently leaked.
It is said that there are a thousand guns! And there is also a lot of Machink, it's exciting to think about! Originally, when he heard Ma Qinke, Pan Datou was still startled, and the idea of robbery was equivalent to being poured with a scoop of cold water, and later heard that the two losers were constantly testing guns in the village, and the bullets were all gone, and the scoop of cold water turned into gasoline. "Now that I've run out of bullets, don't blame me for being ruthless." Pan Datou was glad that he was going to have a heavy machine gun.
The people on this trip are all outlaws and old servants of their own family who have been collected by Pan Datou in recent years, and the interests of these people are closely related to themselves, and they regard the Pan family as the mainstay, and their families are either in Yao Village or Pan Village, and indirectly as hostages. So even if Zhao Yun caught Shao and Cui, he only dared to boldly let Shao, who was alone, do things for himself, and kept Cui under his own control. Such a clan, family, and family relationship is really terrible, but it is undeniable that such control is also very effective in this era.
In this ambush, in addition to using bird guns and rifles, two earthen cannons captured from Shifoshan were also prepared, both filled with iron, and it was necessary to fight quickly.
Seeing Wang Yougui riding a horse and walking in the middle of the team, he was about to leave the mountainous area, and Pan Datou gave the signal to fight.
"Bang!" "Bang!" There were two muffled sounds, and a large amount of iron sand and gravel shot from the hillside on Wang Yougui's right. The team below the hill was immediately swept away. Suddenly attacked, there were still many people in this militia looking around, not knowing what was going on.
The sound of "popping" continued to sound, bullets rained down, the team under the mountain screamed again and again, and the militia on horseback was the main target.
As soon as the gunshot rang out, Wang Yougui, who had experience in a war, lay down in the dirt ditch on the side of the road and shouted: "Fight back!" Fight back! Get down! Get down! Don't run around! "While organizing a counterattack.
Wang Yougui's team still has many veterans who have participated in the battle against the horse bandits, plus his own domestic servants, although his combat effectiveness is not good, he did not abandon his master and run away, and he also withstood the attack on the mountain for a while. That's why, the warlord team likes to use their own people, no way, combat effectiveness is not the key, the key is loyalty!
Looking down from the mountain, the mountain road people called the horse neighing, a moment of confusion, everyone was fighting separately, holding a gun, shooting at the hillside on the right, the team that had already left the mountain, seeing that his captain had not come out and turned back, for a while, Wang Yougui's team firepower was pouring down to the hillside on the right.
Wang Yougui hid behind the horse, observing the shape on the battlefield, he always felt that someone was spying on him when he walked on the road today, which made him alert, plus the experience of being almost killed by the horse bandits last time, so that Captain Wang grew a lot. So after getting the gun this time, he immediately armed his family and his old subordinates who had followed him to participate in the battle of the village, and when he left, he spent a friendship price of 100 oceans to buy 500 rounds of Maqinke bullets from Zhao Yun.
So now although he was ambushed, but soon Wang Yougui's firepower suppressed the other party, but there was a trace of doubt that made Wang Yougui feel faintly worried, the other party was very fierce at the beginning, and now he doesn't fight back, and such a weak firepower also comes to fight his team of hundreds of people?
Sure enough, gunshots also rang out behind him, and just now in order to shoot at the hillside on the right, Wang Yougui's men and horses all turned their backs to the left. At this moment, a fire was fired on the hill on the left, almost deadly, and in an instant the remnants of the team fell by a third.
Seeing this scene, Wang Yougui panicked, this is the team he just pulled up!
If these people died, they would also die, desperately old and groped to climb to the side of the carriage behind them, and as soon as they lifted the sunshade cloth on the car, a brand-new Machinke was exposed, raised the muzzle of the gun, and fired a burst at the mountain, "Spit out!" Spit! Spit! ”
"Rubbish!" As soon as Pan Datou saw that someone had taken Ma Qinke out and raised the muzzle of the gun, he realized that something was wrong and pushed him back, and this step allowed him to pick up a life. However, the surrounding servants were not happy, and directly shot a dozen of them, and the others also hid themselves in order to avoid the bullets fired by Machink. The firepower on the mountain was suppressed at once, and Wang Yougui's men and horses had time to change their posture with their backs to the right, and they were killed by at least twenty or thirty of them by the other party just because they were in the wrong direction.
After two rounds of shooting, there are now less than fifty of Wang Yougui's men and horses. Ma Qinke's shooting also turned into a point shot, fortunately in Zhao Yunna today, he didn't take bullets seriously, or now Wang Yougui's team doesn't even have a person who can use it. The people of the county garrison became the target of attention because their clothing was different from that of the militia group, and the first wave was swept down.
The two sides began to confront each other, but now in general, the situation on Wang Yougui's side is relatively bad, the moon is hidden in the clouds tonight, and the mountain is dark, and the position of the other party can only be judged from the sparks fired by the other party. Five hundred rounds of ammunition sounds like a lot, but if you need to shoot non-stop like now, you won't be able to last long.
The sound of horses came from the valley in the distance, and the leopard in the valley heard the gunfire outside, thinking that Wang Yougui and they rushed out of the mountain, and it was their turn to shoot. The horse bandits began to prepare for the upcoming pursuit.
But he didn't see the instructions given on the mountain, so the leopard could only let the horse bandit valley pass line up and did not rush out.
Just this horse roar, Pan Datou on the mountain and Wang Yougui under the mountain both thought of the horse bandits, "Bad thing!" If it weren't for this horse call, Wang Yougui might have rushed out of the mountains and fled to Biqiao Town in the dark, but it would be difficult to say if there was a horse team.
Wang Yougui knew bitterly that in the first wave of attacks just now, his horse team was the biggest target, and he fell the most. This time, a total of twenty horses came out, and they were basically all handed over here, and their own horses were finished, and now the horses pulling the carts were fine, but how far could these horses run out? After all, it's not a war horse! Is there still an attack from horse bandits out there?
There is a stalemate on the battlefield, and now it is black and rumbling, and no one dares to hit a torch, that is looking for death! There can only be one shot without a single shot, if it continues like this, Captain Wang Yougui Wang is not afraid, he just got 40,000 rounds of ammunition today, but when it comes to dawn, if no one comes to save him, then he won't be able to run anywhere!
As the minutes passed, the situation on the battlefield did not improve significantly.
(There's one more chapter tonight!) )
