012 Fierce War
The sound of horses' hooves hitting the bluestone pavement made a crisp sound, and the sound of dozens of horses was even stronger. The sound of clattering horses' hooves shook people's hearts.
When the first few horses came in, the merchant soldiers and fishermen hiding on both sides of the gatehouse held their breath, and some of them were holding guns for the first time, and they were sweating with guns in their hands.
Through a small gap, Huang Ke looked at the bandits who came in below, these guys were a little vigilant, some of them had already taken off the rifles on their backs and held them in their hands, and some of the rifles had been loaded.
However, they did not notice the people hiding on both sides of the walled building, and a dozen horses were still jogging forward.
"To fight or not?" Cui Wu saw that the bandits had entered the ambush circle, so he aimed the gun at the bandits below, Huang Ke shook his head and glanced at Cui Wu, Cui Wu's eyes were full of determination and cold-bloodedness.
It's hard to imagine that this is a first-time person on the battlefield.
Others are not in such a good state as Cui Wu, Huang Ke saw that some people were already trembling involuntarily.
However, the eyes of the two men squatting next to Cui Wu were as firm as Cui Wu.
Huang Ke knew that he would have to wait a little longer, and wait until Qiu Ba came in before fighting, so that he could wipe them all out.
Huang Ke also clenched the Mauser 1898 rifle in his hand, and his palms were sweating at this time.
He kept silently saying in his heart: "Come in quickly!" Qiu Ba, come in quickly. ”
Syllable! Huang Ke, who was observing, was suddenly awakened by a gunshot, and he turned his head to see that a recruit had gone too nervous.
"!" Huang Ke scolded. This shot also attracted a group of bandits on horseback below, and this group of guys, who had been showing off their might at first, suddenly reined in the reins of their horses and raised their heads, and the short poles and rifles in their hands looked around.
"Hit!" Huang Ke gave an order, and more than a dozen German fast guns hidden on both sides opened fire at once. There was chaos in the herd, and the bandits, in addition to returning their guns in all directions, clamped their horses' bellies and prepared to flee.
"Want to run? It's not that easy! Above! Huang Ke waved his hand, and more than a dozen baskets of fresh fish prepared in advance were thrown down from the top of the Zhaimen building.
Fresh fish fell from the sky, and in an instant, the bluestone slab road was paved with fresh fish, and the smell of fish and blood mixed together made people nauseous.
But the most difficult thing to walk is the road, the bluestone road is full of fresh fish, a few horses can't run, and they slip after walking a few steps.
Bang bang bang! Gunfire rang out on both sides, but the convoys had a geographical advantage, and the bandits simply had no way to fight back effectively.
After a while, the dozen or so bandits who came in were all killed except for a few who were lucky enough to run out.
Qiu Ba, who was still at the gate of the village at the beginning, heard the gunshots inside, and quickly reined in the reins of the horse and turned around. After Cui Wu finished fighting, he turned his head and saw Qiu Ba outside, and immediately knelt on the ground, holding a gun and aiming outward.
Bang! Bang! Bang! The golden-yellow shells burst out in a long parabola. Cui Wu quickly ran out of one*, and the fleeing bandits fell down one after another with the landing of the bullet casings, and only after seeing this group of people running out of range, Cui Wu stopped.
"Let's go, go down and have a look" Huang Ke put away his rifle and walked down, and more than a dozen escort soldiers reacted, it was indeed a little incredible to finish the fight so simply, and they felt a little enjoyable when they thought about it.
After counting them, the bandits killed fourteen of them this time, and except for nine who were killed on the spot, the remaining five were still lying on the ground*. Only two people on the side of the convoy were wounded by stray bullets, and one missed the vital point.
The result was naturally a big win.
Some of the wounded bandits were hit, some were trampled by frightened horses, and in short, they all lay on the ground crying and crying for their mothers. When a few fishermen who rushed up wanted to kill them with the guys in their hands, Huang Ke stopped them. He knew in his heart that in this era, not all the people who were bandits were bad people, and there were also ordinary people who were forced to be helpless. And the most important point is that Huang Ke wants to establish his reputation through this battle.
"Cui Wu, now send someone to lift the drawbridge door and ask the brothers to take strict care of it"
Huang Ke waved his hand and called a few people over and said, "You carry these people to the doctor in the town to see a doctor, go quickly!" ”
"Isn't this a bandit? How can you still save him", "Even if you kill them, you will all die!" ”…… Someone in the crowd started shouting.
Huang Ke didn't have the time to explain so much, he said sharply: "Hurry up and send it over, if they die, I'll ask you!" ”
During this time, Huang Ke's prestige among them had been increasing, and these people hurriedly carried the patient and ran over after hearing this.
The drawbridge was pulled up, and the crowd was filled with joy and cheers. However, Huang Ke did not show any excitement at this time, he knew that although Qiu Ba had lost a dozen people on horseback, his large army was still behind.
If it really starts, what follows is a tough one.
Now Huang Ke can only pin his hopes on Fourteen Tsai, hoping that he can move there to rescue the soldiers.
………………………………………………………………………………………
Qiu Ba, who was in a hurry, lost the big-brimmed hat on his head when he ran back, ran wildly for a while, and only after making sure that he was not in danger did he rein in the reins and stopped.
"Fuck! Damn it! When Qiu Ba returned to the army, he sat on the ground and hurriedly wiped the sweat from his head.
"What's going on? Commander: "That's right, Commander, tell me what's going on in front of you?" Just listen to the gunshots" "Are the officers and soldiers coming?" "How many soldiers are coming?" "How are we going to fight when the soldiers are coming?"
……
A group of bandits with big-brimmed hats surrounded them, and you and I quarreled with each other.
"Shut the fuck up!" Qiu Ba scolded, he gasped for breath, feeling as if his chest was about to be blocked by something.
Isn't it? With a choked breath in his chest, no one will be smooth.
"Commander, what the hell is going on up ahead? Chen Azai really dared to move the officers and soldiers? Qiu Ba's military advisor Mo Lixing came over, this is an old treacherous and cunning guy, after hearing the gunfire in front of him, he ordered to stop advancing.
Qiu Ba shook his head: "Who the fuck knows who the hell is going on?" I didn't even see it clearly when I heard a crackling sound, but I saw the kid who did my good thing last time, check! You must find out that kid for Lao Tzu! ”
Mo Lixing stood up and looked at it, he turned his head to Qiu Ba and said, "Commander, I looked at it just now, it is estimated that there are only a few of them, if the Gui army came to fight, they would have gone out and fought a long time ago." ”
"I see they took the drawbridge back, it must have been a defensive preparation. It's better for us to take Luokou Town in one go. ”
Mo Lixing's suggestion was greeted by Qiu Ba's scolding, and he scolded Mo Lixing for being a bastard and having no brains. Mo Lixing shook his head, he knew that the fat man in front of him was hopeless.
The offensive and defensive battle that made Huang Ke tense did not break out in the end, and after more than two hours of tension, Qiu Ba and his people began to retreat.
Huang Ke, who saw the retreat of the bandits from a distance, finally breathed a sigh of relief, in fact, if Qiu Ba really fought with his life, he would not have no bottom in his heart.
However, Qiu Ba didn't come over is a bit of his expectation, from the last operation, he can see that Qiu Ba is brave, unscrupulous, cowardly and afraid of things, and usually relies on ruthlessness to scare the people, such people are at best ruffians or small bandits.
You can't be a big bandit, and of course, you can't be a warlord.
"Put down the drawbridge, Lao Tzu rides a horse!" Huang Ke walked downstairs, his leather shoes making a sound on the bluestone slab road full of blood, and Cui Wu hurriedly followed.
Both of them stepped onto their horses at the same time, then whipped their whips and ran forward.
