12-56 The Immortal Firebird

At the head of Tianjin, a sentry officer put down the clairvoyant mirror in his hand and said: "Beijing is coming again, brothers hurry up to pick up the car." ”

In the distance, a train of steamers drove over like a white steam, and from time to time sounded the whistle to salute the defenders of Tianjin, the distance between Beijing and Tianjin is very short, and the railway has long been passed, and the materials and salaries from the south earlier are from Shanghai by sea, to the mouth of Tianjin Dagu, and then transported to Beijing through the Beijing-Tianjin railway, since the rebellion, the imperial court has changed its methods, and the materials still go through the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, directly to the hands of the forbidden army, but here, that side was stolen out by them and then transported to Tianjin, loaded and shipped overseas for profit, Today's car is afraid that it is also a material for resale.

The staff on both sides of the railway waved small green flags and whistled to guide the train to stop, and the sentry officer who first saw the train dusted off his half-worn red robe, pressed the cigarette on the rubber sole of the pullback boots, and then took a few people down the city tower to pick up the train.

"Fire boss, there are a lot of wagons today, and I have pulled more than 70 knots, what is this stuff?" One of his subordinates looked at the long train track.

"There is the above arrangement, you don't care what he pulls, as long as you can make money." The sentinel who is called the fire boss is named Firebird, originally from the Iron Guard Tiger Wing Battalion of the Liguo Iron Factory, participated in more than 20 battles after the Battle of Jinan, was wounded in more than 30 places, and was still alive and cheerful, and was given a nickname, called the immortal firebird, it is said that this kid is extremely old, and his military achievements are outstanding, and now he is at least a staff general, but because he is unruly, greedy and lustful, and slaughtered prisoners of war several times, so several promotion reports have been refuted, and now he is just a small sentinel.

The firebird walked to the locomotive with a big grin, looked at the officer escorting the car above, and threw a cigarette up: "Brother has worked hard, so face-to-face, which part?" ”

The man on the train had two gold stars on his chest, a brand-new red robe, and a beret on his head, and the young man was full of energy, took the cigarette thrown by the firebird, put it on his ear, and said: "From the Beijing Detention Center, this truck of goods is going to be sent directly to Dagukou, and I asked my brother to approve the road." ”

The firebird said: "Okay, dog, go up and bring my guard." ”

A brother who had been with the firebird for several years said yes and ran quickly to the castle tower.

The two of them were still gossiping, and the man asked, "Master Li is still in Dagukou, right?" He's been very busy lately. ”

Firebird said: "Yes, the officials are busy, hey, brother, why don't you smoke, there's no fire, come, brother will help you light it." ”

The man on the train sneered, took a cigarette from his ear and put it in his mouth, jumped out of the car, and the flamining's hand reached into his trouser pocket, seemingly inadvertently unbuckled the holster of the firecracker, and took out a small lighter-like thing from his trouser pocket, and stretched it out with a smile, but when he got closer, there was a click, and the lighter turned into a spring-loaded knife, and before the man could react, the knife had already wiped his throat.

"Hit!" The firebird shouted, and more than a dozen soldiers carrying bazookas flashed on the city wall, pulling the trigger together, and more than ten flames shot towards the train, and after the loud noise, wood chips and human fragments flew everywhere, and it turned out that these carriages were full of armed soldiers!

After the bazooka, the flywheel gun on the city wall also fired, and the twenty-four tubes of the gun shot extremely high and penetrated, and the wooden box of the train could not be stopped at all, and the hidden soldiers inside were strung into blood gourds without even raising the firearms.

After killing the man, the firebird rolled on the spot, hid under the roadbed, and after the explosion passed, he shook the dust on his head, pulled out the firebolt and ran to the city tower while shooting, six consecutive rings, six heads exploded, the firebird ran safely to the city tower, squatted under the battlement, shook off the wheel of the handcuff and loaded the bullet inside, and the dog ran over and shouted: "Boss, the telegram is going to Dagukou, what should I do now?" ”

"What else can I do, fight! It is a moment to be able to block a moment. The firebird loaded the bullet, took out a cigarette and put it in his mouth, and when he went to pull out the lighter, he suddenly felt a hand of blood.

"Holy shit! Hit again. I almost knocked out my life. The firebird was furious, spit out the cigarette, took out a wine jug made of tin and took a sip, "Lao Tzu has to drink wine to relieve the pain, well, these two pots are really delicious." ”

The boss is nicknamed the immortal firebird, and it is not a big deal to get a few iron sand on his body, and the dog Yu didn't take it to heart at all, just scratched his head and asked, "Boss, how can you see that kid is an impostor." ”

"Cut! This little moth, do you still want to hide it from Lao Tzu? I don't look at the robe on my body, I just took it out of the cabinet, the pleats are still there, and the smell of mothballs can be smelled from afar, have you ever seen any brother wearing a new robe? Our brothers of the Red Shirts, pay attention to the kind of handsome, the condition must be half old, it is best to have two more patches in the elbow socket, haven't you seen those recruits take new shirts to exchange for the rags that the veterans have worn for a few years? Add money to change, if you can't change it, you can wash it with water, grind it with a grinding plate, and you have to make it look like you've worn it for a few years to be satisfied, that kid has two flowers hanging on his chest, how can he not understand this? ”

After finishing the high statement, the firebird proudly drank the two pots in the wine jug, knocked on the head of the dog leftover, and said: "Dog leftover, do you know why you are still a big soldier after eating food for two years?" Use your brain in everything, hey, use your wisdom flexibly like your boss and me. ”

Gou Yu said: "Then boss, your brain is so useful, why are you a sentry now?" ”

"Damn, which pot is not opened." The firebird was about to pat the dog's head on the head, when suddenly there was a loud bang below, and one of his subordinates shouted: "Boss, there are so many of them that they can't stand it." ”

"If you can't stand it, you have to top it!" The firebird stood up with the battlement, his thighs were still dripping with blood, his sentry team was only one hundred and fifty people, and there were only more than eighty brothers on duty today, if it were not for the sufficient ammunition and equipment on the city wall, it would not be able to block the impact of the forbidden army at all, but fortunately, the three thousand five hundred Trojan soldiers were killed by rockets at the beginning of the commander, and now they are in a mess, fighting separately, but so many people are firing together, and the power cannot be underestimated, and the bricks on the city wall hit by the bullets are flying wildly, and people can't raise their heads.

There were artillery in the city defenses, but they could only deal with distant targets, and they had no effect on the enemy who was close at hand, and when the enemy was about to rush towards him, the firebird shouted: "Knock the cannonball fuse on the wall and throw it down, and kill the turtle sons." ”

The troops pried open the ammunition boxes, slammed the shells, and then threw them down the walls, and the round shells rolled everywhere, and the time-delay fuse exploded after three seconds, causing the Janissaries to cry wolf. But there are too many enemies, and it won't last long to go around like this.

The elite part of the Red Shirt Army is stationed in Shanxi, Gansu, and the only second-line troops left in Hebei are stationed in Beijing, Tianjin, Dagukou, Shanhaiguan and other places, among which the garrison in Tianjin is not very much, only more than 2,000 people, today is a vacation, most of the soldiers went to the street to drink and entertain, not much to stay in the combat post, after hearing the battle at the north gate, the soldiers immediately ran out of the tavern theater garden, formed a team on the spot, and led the high-ranking leader to the battlefield, Li Yan had an order, Whenever they were soldiers, they had to carry their weapons with them, so they didn't have to go back to the camp to fight, and both sides fought in a hurry, compared to the well-trained redshirts, who were of course superior, and after fighting for half a day, they basically drove the attacking enemy out of the city, but the survey reported that there were a large number of enemy mobile troops on the northern front, numbering more than 30,000.

At this time, the order from Dagukou also arrived, so that the army left the battlefield and assembled at Dagukou, so Liu Deshui, the defender of Tianjin, left a sentry to block the attack, and led the remaining troops to quickly transfer to Dagukou, and even the tens of thousands of stone rice grains in the grain depot were not wanted.

Leaving to block the enemy is naturally an immortal bird who is not liked by his boss, the iron sand on his thigh has been taken out, tied with a bandage, and he is sitting opposite Liu Deshui and bargaining.

"Add me fifty more, and I'll only have Brother Forty-Seven left in my sentry."

"If you don't have someone, you have to die, can I go with you to block it?"

"The general said that he laughed, if he doesn't give it to him, he won't give it, the guy has to take care of it, right?"

Liu Deshui thought for a moment and said: "We won't take the armory with us, you can take it, you can use as much as you want, and prepare fifty fast horses for you, and wait until I send someone to blow the trumpet for you to withdraw, how about it." ”

"Okay, I'll wait for your number."

Liu Deshui took the helmet and stuck it on his head, and patted the firebird on the shoulder: "Old Huo, the people from the old Tiewei Tiger Wing Battalion can fight one by one, and now only you and I are left, if our brothers can meet this time, I will definitely help you find a seat for a thousand households." ”

"Don't talk about those useless things, you don't know that Lao Tzu doesn't like to be an official, Ma Li will go to you, don't forget to blow the trumpet." Firebird said nonchalantly.
