Chapter 291: Great Wealth
"Yes! I understand, please rest assured that Captain Shen will do our best to ensure the safety of the transport team. Hu Guangde just nodded slightly and said.
Hu Guangde's calmness made Shen Hongcai a little surprised, and Shen Hongcai even wondered if Hu Guangde hadn't heard what he had just said? After hearing such a bombshell news that there were five million taels of silver in the baggage team, Hu Guangde did not have a trace of surprise after hearing it. Could it be that Hu Guangde knew the news in advance? It shouldn't be! This is a top secret in the army, how can Hu Guangde know that he is just a small regiment commander? Although his heart was full of doubts, but now that the situation was critical, it was not the time to discuss this, so Shen Hongcai hurriedly said, "In this case, please ask Head Hu." ā
Hu Guangde nodded slightly, then turned his head and issued an order, "Immediately send an order to the troops, all enter the position, and prepare to block the enemy Cossack cavalry." ā
"Yes!" Several officers behind Hu Guangde hurriedly answered.
After Hu Guangde issued the order, he turned to Shen Hongcai and said, "Captain Shen, what you said is right, with the speed of the Cossack cavalry, I am afraid that it will arrive soon, and the speed of your convoy is too slow, and you can't get rid of these damn Cossack cavalry at all." So I built yƬ you immediately hid in the nearby Majiagou, that place has a treacherous terrain, easy to defend and difficult to attack! As long as you can hide there, with your strength, you should be able to hold out for a long time. We are responsible for blocking the enemy Cossack cavalry and covering you, and I have already reported directly to the division headquarters to request support, and it is estimated that it will not be long before the nearby brother troops will come to support. ā
Shen Hongcai thought about it and felt that what Hu Guangde said was reasonable, so he nodded and said, "Then do what Captain Hu said, we will immediately move to the Majiagou area, and I will ask Commander Hu here." ā
"Yes!" Hu Guangde nodded lightly and said, "You'd better hurry up, because our regiment has just been hit hard." Now there are only more than 700 people left, and I don't know how long we can hold out, but don't worry, even if we fight until there is only one person left, we will fight Lao Maozi until the last moment. ā
Shen Hongcai couldn't help but be excited when he heard this, and held Hu Guangde's hand tightly and said, "In this case, please ask Captain Hu, take care of Captain Hu!" ā
Hu Guangde smiled slightly, patted Shen Hongcai's shoulder and said, "Go quickly!" Remember to keep this supply and the money. The importance of these things to the front-line army, I think Captain Shen knows better than me in his heart. ā
"Commander Hu, rest assured, although our transport troops are not as good as your regular army, we are all soldiers of the Tiger Army, and we are all upright men, even if we fight until the last moment, we will ensure the safety of materials." Shen Hongcai patted his chest and reassured.
"Pass the order, immediately move towards the direction of Majiagou, and give Lao Tzu a little bit of relief. Even if you give me the strength to breastfeed, I have to rush to Majiagou as much as possible! Hurry up! Shen Hongcai turned around and ordered loudly.
Hu Guangde nodded slightly at Shen Hongcai, and Shen Hongcai also cast an encouraging look at Hu Guangde. The two smiled slightly in understanding, and Hu Guangde turned around and strode away.
On a small hillside. Hu Guangde looked at the black and oppressive Cossack cavalry not far away, his face couldn't help but be covered with a thick murderous aura, raised his head and looked up at the sky, Hu Guangde couldn't help but shout loudly. "Brethren! Open your eyes and take a good look, see how we kill Lao Maozi and avenge you! ā
"Revenge! Settle an old score! Hundreds of soldiers of Hu Guangde's regiment couldn't help but shout loudly. The sound soared into the sky, shaking the sky and the earth. Even the Cossack cavalrymen not far away could not help but stop when they heard this roar and quietly watched the opponent in the distance.
In the battle a few days ago, Hu Guangde's regiment suffered heavy losses, a main regiment of 1,600 people, more than 500 people were killed, and more than 300 brothers are still lying in the hospital. So that now there are only more than 700 people left in the Hu Guangde regiment, which is tantamount to a great shame for the Hu Guangde regiment, and the heroic death of hundreds of brothers has also made the surviving officers and soldiers full of monstrous hatred for the Cossack cavalry, and today Hu Guangde is going to take his brothers to avenge the dead brothers.
"Bastard! These yellow-skinned monkeys came too quickly, ruining Lao Tzu's good deeds. A Russian officer with a long scar on his face in the ranks of the Cossack cavalry scolded loudly with a grim face. The guy's name was Leonid, and he was a brigade commander of the Cossack cavalry. Leonid received a report from his men that a large convoy of the Tiger Army was passing by, so he rushed over with his men, hoping to make a small fortune. But to Leonid's disappointment, Leonid led his troops to arrive, and found that although this transport team was huge, but this transport team also had a force of more than 1,000 people to escort, and what made Leonid even more desperate was that a nearby Tiger Army had arrived to support, which made the strength of the Tiger Army even stronger, Leonid couldn't help but hesitate, whether to give up this mission, although the huge military supplies made Leonid red, but Leonid had not lost his rationality, He won't do a loss-making deal.
"Sir, report sir. We have ascertained that this convoy was not only carrying a large quantity of military supplies, but also a large amount of silver, estimated to be the enemy's money, and we counted at least twenty wagons dedicated to transporting silver, and the carts were full of boxes and boxes of silver. Leonid was hesitating to abandon the attack when a Cossack cavalryman ran over and shouted.
"What? What you say is true? Leonid looked at this subordinate whose eyes were constantly shining with greed, and couldn't help but ask out loud.
"It is true that a carriage had just been sunk in a pit, and a chest had fallen to the ground, and white silver dollars were scattered all over the ground, and those silver dollars glittered in the light of our eyes, and we could see clearly on the distant hills. There are more than twenty of these carriages! It was filled with white flowers. The Goksa cavalryman said loudly with a greedy smile on his lips.
"Sir, attack! You can't just watch so much silver in front of you, just give up so lightly! Before Leonid could say anything, someone next to him began to shout loudly.
"That's right! Let's go! Kill all these yellow-skinned monkeys and rob them of their silver. ā
The whole twenty-odd carriages were all loaded with white silver, so how much silver did it take! In short, Leonid had never seen so much silver in his life, and such a huge temptation made Leonid throw the last trace of hesitation directly out of the clouds. (To be continued......)
