Chapter 158: Rescue Mission
Li Hongbo was in a very good mood, and today he not only received an important task, but also picked up three good horses on the way. He gave up his horse to his subordinates, stepped onto the white horse that Chen Hao had ridden earlier, hummed a small tune and rode up the path to Shizhai, preparing to do the task issued by Zhang Decheng, the leader of the Boxers.
"Bang."
Li Hongbo suddenly heard a gunshot behind him, and he turned his horse's head, only to see that the men who had fallen behind turned over and fell off their horses. A hundred meters away from him, a player on a tall horse was aiming with a gun, and a second shot rang out again.
Seeing the majestic tall horse, Li Hongbo secretly complained in his heart, just now he always felt that the bully player was familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it. Seeing the four-hoofed snow-white tall horse, he remembered who he had provoked, and the forum commented that Chen Baxian was one of the most difficult players in the game!
After Xuanyuan Sword, Sanshengshi and Guan Ning were disgraced by Chen Baxian, there was such a saying on the forum that Ning was raped and did not provoke Chen Baxian. Many players think that Chen Ba is very good at playing games first, but he is also a character who must be retribution, so don't provoke him.
Li Hongbo didn't have much background, he developed cautiously in the game, and he didn't dare to provoke those big forces, but he didn't expect to provoke Chen Baxian with greed for a while. Seeing that Chen Baxian, who was single-handed, was aiming with a gun again, and his subordinates were also preparing to shoot back, he hurriedly said loudly: "Boss Chen Baxian, there is some misunderstanding between us, I will return the horse to you, don't ......"
"Bang."
What answered Li Hongbo was the crisp sound of gunshots, and Chen Hao fired another shot, but unfortunately the shot flew away and missed. He turned his horse's head and ran a distance, then picked up his Mauser rifle again and aimed at a player from a hundred meters away, knocking him off his horse with a single shot.
Li Hongbo's face was cloudy, he had already softened, Chen Baxian still didn't show mercy to his subordinates, and he really repaid as he said on the forum! Since there is no way to resolve the hatred, there is no need to pretend to be a grandson, if you can kill Chen Baxian, you can earn an additional 2 million, which is not a small amount for Li Hongbo.
After making up his mind, Li Hongbo commanded the remaining players to rush towards Chen Hao in a fan shape, and seeing this situation, Chen Hao did not hesitate to turn his horse's head and run. Except for the three good horses that he bought just now, the horses ridden by Li Hongbo's men were very ordinary, and it was impossible to catch up with Xue Wuqi.
After the snow crow disappeared from view, Li Hongbo ordered his subordinates to stop, turned the horse's head with a gloomy face and galloped in the direction of Shizhai. He looked back from time to time when he was beating the horse forward, for fear that Chen Baxian would suddenly appear again, and he was relieved that he didn't see Chen Baxian appear after running for three miles.
"Bang, bang, bang"
Three gunshots rang out in succession from the side, and the two players behind Li Hongbo were knocked off their horses, and a bullet flew past his ear. He cursed, picked up the gun and fired a random shot in the direction where the gunfire came from, only to see Chen Ba, who was riding a kicking snow black horse, hit the horse again and ran away.
Li Hongbo was very angry in his heart, and said in his heart, why did I get hot-headed and provoke this evil star? He took a total of fifteen players out to do the mission, but he was killed by four before he could reach the mission location, which was really unlucky.
He ordered his men to spread out the formation and pay attention to the surroundings, and as soon as he put his rifle into his jacket, there was another shot from the side.
Previously, Chen Hao knocked over the two players and left, and after a circle, he came to sneak attack again, Li Hongbo fell into the inertia of thinking, thinking that he would make a detour after this sneak attack and attack again. But I didn't want Chen Hao to go far this time, he didn't go far and turned his horse's head and ran back to release the gun, taking advantage of Li Hongbo's team adjustment to shoot three players in a row before calmly leaving.
Li Hongbo only had eight subordinates left, and his face was so gloomy that he was about to drip water, and every team would have a headache when they encountered a player like Chen Baxian. Chen Ba rode a good horse first, and his marksmanship was better than that of most players, and his combat methods were still very obscene, always running away with two shots, chasing him and not being able to catch up, making people so depressed that they wanted to vomit blood.
After Li Hongbo asked the team to disperse and pay attention to all sides, Chen Baxian did not appear again, but he still moved forward cautiously, not daring to relax in the slightest. In fact, his worries were unnecessary, after shooting a few players, Chen Hao, who looked at the direction of Li Hongbo and the others, suddenly remembered a task, so he went to find Nie Shicheng.
In history, the Boxers took advantage of the war between Nie Shicheng and the coalition forces to go to Nie's house and kidnap Nie Shicheng's wife, children, and mother. In the game, the system generates a mission, players on the Boxer side receive the task of capturing Nie Shicheng's family, and players in the former army of Wuwei can find Nie Shicheng to receive the task of rescuing his family.
Nie Shicheng didn't know that his wife, children and mother were in danger, at this time he was leading the troops to fight against the invading Eight-Nation Alliance, and after listening to Chen Hao's report, he was heartbroken, and said in a deep voice: "Baxian, I have decided to repay the country with death, my wife and children will ask you, you rescue them and go to Langfang, my pro-soldier team is waiting for you there, you take your pro-soldiers to escort my family to Qinan and hand it over to Yuan Weiting to take care of." ”
"Player Chen Baxian, Nie Shicheng issued you the task 'Rescue the Family', the task completion conditions: Rescue Nie Shicheng's wife, children and mother from the Boxers, and send them to Qinan City, Qilu Province to be handed over to Yuan Shikai. Reward: Unknown. ”
Chen Hao chose to accept the mission, he remembered the task about Nie Shicheng's family, but he didn't know that he would be escorted to see Yuan Shikai in the end. Although the reward for this task is unknown, it can probably be guessed that the reward is related to Yuan Shikai, because when Nie Shicheng's family was rescued and sent to Qinan, Nie Shicheng had already been martyred, and the reward must be paid by Yuan Shikai.
Chen Hao accepted the task, which could involve up to 20 players, but he would not be able to find so many helpers for a while. Recently, the passerby who fished returned to the Wuwei Front Army to participate in the war, because the heavy machine gun consumed too much ammunition, and there were a lot of bullets for him to practice marksmanship in the Wuwei Front Army, and he gained a lot of experience points by killing the enemy.
As more and more coalition troops landed, the pressure on the front army of Wuwei increased, and in the end, it was difficult to escape the fate of total annihilation. Thinking of this, Chen Hao said to Nie Shicheng: "My lord, my friend's fishing passerby has been serving under your command, and I am weak to go to rescue the old lady this time, so I beg your lord to allow me to take him there." ”
Nie Shicheng nodded and said, "The fishing road is still very young, it's okay to let him follow you, I will call him over soon." ”
The fishing passerby soon rode over, followed by an NPC leading the horse, and the Maxim heavy machine gun on the horse. The NPC leading the horse is his ammunition hand, and when Nie Shicheng called the fishing passerby, he divided this ammunition hand who cooperated with him under his hand and became the NPC he hired.
Chen Hao also called the third thief who was arranged in Langfang to inquire about the news, and the group of four rushed towards the direction of Shizhai. Coming to the official road and the intersection leading to the stone village, Chen Hao asked the fishing passers-by and his ammunition hand to unload Makqin and build an improvised machine gun bunker next to the road, while he and the three thieves ran along the path in the direction of the stone village.
Li Hongbo had already kidnapped Nie Shicheng's family in Shizhai, and when Chen Hao was looking for Nie Shicheng to receive the task, he received a prompt to trigger the two-way task, so he was more careful. Nie Shicheng's family was placed in the stolen carriage by him, with ten players on horseback leading the way, and he took twenty players to the back.
Li Hongbo had sixteen places when he received the task, so he took fifteen players to do the task, and after learning that the system generated a two-way task, in order to ensure that nothing went wrong, he flew the pigeon and notified his nearby subordinates to rush over to support. These players who participated in the task behind were Li Hongbo's personal helpers, and there was no reward for completing the task, Chen Hao ran along the path with the thief three, and then took out the Zeiss telescope to watch, and saw the team that was moving in this direction. He ordered the three thieves to lie in ambush in the nearby bushes, and he himself rushed to the other side with his horse, holding a gun and waiting for Li Hongbo's team to arrive.
"Bang."
Chen Hao, who was standing on the side of the vegetable field on horseback, pulled the trigger, shot the player who Li Hongbo arranged for the investigation, and then rushed to the team escorting the carriage. When he was still a hundred meters away from the carriage, Chen Hao picked up the Mauser G98 and fired a few shots indiscriminately, shot a player, turned the horse's head and ran.
Li Hongbo has long been full of fire, and this time his men are sufficient, and he will not let go of Chen Baxian easily. He arranged for four players to be responsible for guarding the carriage, and led more than a dozen players to chase in the direction of Chen Hao's escape, but after running not far, Chen Baxian disappeared again.
Due to Chen Hao's sudden harassment, Li Hongbo forgot to send someone to investigate this short stretch of road, and the thief who was hiding in the grass on the side of the road suddenly slipped under the carriage. The player escorting the carriage paid attention to the battle situation in front of them, and the three thieves were agile, and they did not notice when they entered the carriage when they were not looking.
The third thief suddenly appeared in the carriage and startled the three people in the carriage, and Nie Shicheng's eight-year-old son couldn't help but cry out. The third thief motioned for the three to be silent, Nie Shicheng's mother and wife covered the child's mouth, and at this moment, the player outside the carriage asked, "Mrs. Nie, what happened?" ”
Mrs. Nie forced her composure and said, "It's nothing, the child is scared when he hears the gunshot, so I'll coax him." ”
The four players outside are all alumni of Chen Hao, who joined Li Hongbo's studio when they graduated, and they admired Nie Shicheng in history. Although it was in the game, they were very dissatisfied with Li Hongbo's task of leading the scourge of Nie Shicheng's family, and privately said that Li Hongbo was doing the task of giving birth to a son without an asshole.
If it is an NPC guarding a carriage, it may be possible to lift the curtain to check it, but the player will not. The thief in the carriage breathed a sigh of relief, and he whispered to Mrs. Nie: "I came to save you on the orders of Lord Nie, Madam is relieved, I will find a way to get you out of danger later, and I will not let you fall into the hands of the boxers." ”
