Eighty-six, pigs and tanks
After the explosion, a huge crater appeared in an open field, rising from billowing black smoke, carrying the smell of gunpowder smoke and the bloody smell of corpses.
The middle-aged man who led the pig just now was already lying on the ground in scorched black, and he didn't move, but the pig he was holding was also shocked by the shock wave when it exploded, but it staggered up again.
Just before the explosion, Rayson threw Ashley to the ground at a faster speed. The loud roar made the two of them ringing in their ears.
After confirming that Ashley was safe and sound, Rayson quickly got up and looked at the spot where the fire had flashed just now. It was an old tank that attacked them! The tank was followed by dozens of bandits on horseback and on foot!
Really! Only a part of the bandits were annihilated just now, and they still have a large team!
Looking around again, there was no longer the eight-character bandit, and Lei Sen couldn't help but curse secretly, and let him run away while he was in chaos!
"Uncle! Uncle! Hold on! Your wife and children haven't come back to see you yet! β
The tinnitus subsided slightly, and Rayson heard Hei Hachiman's unwilling roar. Heihachi was holding the middle-aged man who had been blown down, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't wake him up.
Heihachi looked extremely sad, and he tried his best to fight against the bandits, just to protect the villagers. But in the end, people kept dying.
The middle-aged man was scorched black, his legs were blown off, and he struggled to cough up two mouthfuls of blood without a sound, obviously dead. In the end, he still couldn't wait for the abducted wife and children to be found and see each other again.
Raison rushed over and pulled Heihachi up, scolding angrily, "Don't waste time on dead people!" Hurry up and get them back to the warehouse! Otherwise, many more will die! β
Heihachi had to suppress his grief and unwillingness, and shouted to the surrounding villagers with all his might: "The woman and the child will go back to the warehouse immediately!" The others come with me! Get ready to fight back! β
A group of people, including Qingzi, were still a little confused, and under the urging of Heihachi, they had to turn around and run to the warehouse again.
Rayson also said to Anderley: "You have no bullets, go to the warehouse and hide first!" β
"Nope! Uncle! I'm going to follow you! I can help you! β
Ashley insisted on staying, and Rayson wanted to say a few words, but a bungalow not far away was shelled again, and it exploded instantly!
The explosion caused Ashley to barely get to her feet, but Rayson was able to hold her back in time. Seeing that he could not persuade her to leave, Rayson had to let Ashley stay, but let her hide from the bandits' fire behind a low wall.
Rayson himself reached the outermost wall of the village, and when the tank had finished another shelling, he immediately stood up and stared at the tank: "Pulse cannon!" Fire! β
The exoskeleton's mechanical cannon barrel sticks out, spitting out blue fireballs, but the result disappoints Rayson. The fireball landed on the ground when it was still some distance away from the tank, only blowing a crater in the ground and not harming the tank or the bandits.
"Damn it......" Rayson cursed. Obviously, the range of the exoskeleton shoulder gun is not enough.
The tanks and bandits were still outside the village, still some distance from the village, but the tank's gray robes and heavy machine guns in the sub-shooter positions were already pouring fire on the village, and dozens of bandits on horseback and foot were also shooting at the village from time to time.
After each tank shelling, there would be an explosion in the village, a fire, followed by the sound of buildings collapsing. The low wall where Rayson, Heiba and the others were hiding was also constantly being attacked by bullet rain, and the rubble of the wall was constantly torn apart, and from time to time bullets shot through the low wall.
Soon, the tank drove to the main road directly outside the village, and the muzzle of the gun was turned and aimed at the low wall where Heihachi was hiding.
"Boom!"
An artillery blast hit that low wall. The low wall, which was already full of holes, could no longer support it and shattered instantly, and many villagers hiding behind it suffered, either killed on the spot or crushed by the collapsed low wall.
Heihachi was lucky, but he was blown away and didn't receive much damage. But when he got up, he looked at the mess all over the ground and the tragic death of the villagers, and his face showed an irreconcilable despair.
"Noβ"
On the other side of the road, Eagle Mountain also urged Rayson: "You should have an idea!" If this continues, it won't be long before all of us have to be reimbursed! β
Ashley was also looking at Rayson with eager eyes. Beads of sweat broke out on Rayson's forehead, and of course he wanted to solve the current crisis, but now they were almost out of ammunition and food, and they lacked firepower; The traps that had been set before could no longer be effective, the fire in the trenches had long since been extinguished, and the spikes were exposed in front of the people, and they could not be stopped at all.
The bandits were still attacking only from the front, and with the tanks there, there was no need for them to enter the village by other routes. The heavy shelling of the tanks and the rain of bullets sent out by all the bandits, Rayson and their forces could not organize a counterattack at all, so they could only let the tanks open fire at will, shining this already barren village.
At this time, in the warehouse, the people who were hiding listened to the shelling outside, and they were also terrified. Every cannon sound will make the people inside feel terrified, for fear that the next cannon will explode in this warehouse.
"Boom!"
The sound was so close that it exploded in a corner of the warehouse, and the slightly higher outer wall was blasted open from the outside and from the inside, and Aoko was hiding in the corner, and the wall and rubble kept falling in front of her. "It's over, it's over! We're all done, those guys are still coming in, they're going to kill us all! β
A woman with a desperate face hugged the child in her arms. Her child was holding a dog, and both people and dogs were terrified, which was the child named Rayson 'Iron Monster' and his mother. The shelling almost startled the dog out, and the child kept petting the dog's head, and finally calmed the dog down.
It wasn't until no more rubble was falling that Aoko, who was cowering in the corner, hurriedly ran out, passing by a room deep in the warehouse.
Because of the shelling just now, the door of the room that was originally locked was also broken, and the door was opened a little. Qingzi glanced at the room, but her face suddenly changed drastically.
At the entrance of the village, tanks and bandits approached more and more. Heihachi took the rest of his team to retreat to the bungalow behind the collapsed low wall, and shouted to Raison on the other side of the road, "Sir! Let's figure it out! What to do now! β
Rayson glanced at the villagers, fortunately, everyone still had at least one sickle, pickaxe, or shovel in their hands, and after a moment of entanglement, Rayson still said: "Now there is only one way!" Fight with them! β
"When they get closer, rush out! Fight them at close range, the weapon is broken with a fist, and the fist is injured with a tooth! If they are ruthless, we will be more ruthless than them! This is the only chance! β
Rayson's voice was very loud, and under the rain of bullets, Heiba and the others on the other side of the road could also hear it clearly. Hearing this idea, most of the villagers present were afraid. Seeing this, Lei Sen said to everyone in a cold voice again: "Is there any other way!" Fight it! At least there's a chance to live! Otherwise, you can only wait for death, do any of you want to wait for death? Does anyone want to watch them bully your wives and children!? β
After a brief silence, the villagers' eyes turned to death, and many of them even held their shovels and pickaxes in their hands.
At this time, Yingshan next to him said: "Even if you want to fight with them at close range, you must stop that tank first!" If it gets close, we can't rush out at all, just a shot, or a machine gun sweep, and we're done! β
What Eagle Hill said is also true. Rayson probed slightly, the outside was still fierce, and the only way to get the tank was to rush out at the risk of being strafed and hit by a bullet, and break the tank's tracks with the exoskeleton's shoulder cannon, so that it could be stopped.
Rayson was observing, looking for the right time to rush out, when he suddenly heard the voice of an old man coming from the depths of the village.
"Stop fighting! Stop it! We surrender! Unconditional surrender!! β
The sound is loud and travels far away. Everyone was a little stunned when they heard this voice, and Rayson and the others looked back. The first thing I saw was a long pole sticking out from the back of a dilapidated bungalow, and the white cloth tied to it.
Obviously, this is what it means to surrender. When the bandits heard the sound and saw the poles hanging with white cloths, they really stopped firing and the tanks stopped shelling and no longer approached.
After the gunfire stopped, the white cloth pole began to move, and it was actually held by the canopy, along with his father Genlong, and a dozen young villagers who were still hiding in the warehouse just now. These villagers originally followed them, and after Gentaka and his son and Furuya were locked up, these people did not dare to reveal what happened that night, but they did not participate in resisting the bandits, and hid in the warehouse with the women and children in the village, and now that they came out, they naturally followed the demons.
These dozen or so young villagers, each carrying a sack of grain, followed by Qingzi, who was staring at Heihachi with an angry face.
"Bosses! Ladies and gentlemen! Don't be impatient! Children don't know the times, don't worry about them! β
Yuan Long held a simple megaphone made of iron sheet in his hand, stepped forward step by step, and soon arrived at the entrance of the village.
When he walked over, Genlong also glanced at Heihachi, his eyes full of mockery.
"As I said, it's not practical to go against them! Look at the shit you have done, you still have to wipe your ass with this old guy of mine, I think, the future village chief can't count on you! β
Yuan Long whispered, the corners of his mouth hooked into a sneer. Tanabashi also looked at Heihachi with a gloating face, and then followed his father, with more than a dozen villagers, carrying food and walking towards the bandits.
Ping Ba stared at their backs viciously, and the next moment, a person stepped up quickly and slapped Ping Ba mercilessly.
It was Aoko: "You dare to lie to me!" Lie to me! I thought my father and my brother really had something important to do, and you locked them up! Why are you doing that! β
Facing Aoko, Heihachi's face couldn't help but become guilty. But where did Qingzi relieve his anger, and even pushed Ping Bayi: "You say! Why are you lying to me! Why lock them up! β
Pingba's mouth opened for a long time, and he didn't think of a reasonable explanation: "I ......"
A group of villagers watched Qingzi roar at Pingba, and also watched Yuanlong and others carry the grain belonging to the entire village and walk towards the bandits. No one stopped it, no one even dared to say a word.
At this time, Yuan Long and the others had already arrived in front of the bandits. A person came out of the cockpit of the tank's co-shooter, wearing sunglasses and a fierce face, and it was estimated that he was the leader of the bandits.
Yuan Long raised his hand, and the young man behind him hurriedly put the sack on the ground, opened the mouth of the bag, and the bag contained food, canned medicines and other materials.
"This boss! The young people of the village are ignorant and want to oppose you and offend you, and you adults have a lot of knowledge not to be like them. We are willing to give you all the food and supplies in the village, and please raise your noble hand and don't worry about our small village. As long as you don't embarrass us, no matter what you want, we can give it to you! β
Yuan Long smiled all over his face, and pushed his glasses, and the word dog leg was written all over his old face.
The man in sunglasses was expressionless, and said coldly: "Half of my brothers died in your village, with such a little thing, you want me to care?" β
Yuan Long's face suddenly stiffened, and his son Pengqiao next to him hurriedly finished talking: "This is all done by two outsiders who have recently come to our village, a little kid and a stinky old man, and they are the leaders!" This boss, if you're not angry, you can kill the four of them! I promise everyone else will listen to you! In the future, as long as you want, we will give it all to you! Hey, heyβ"
"Yes, yes! Just a few of them did it! β
The young men who brought the food in the back echoed suit. The sound of the shed bridge is not small, and everyone in the village can hear it clearly.
At this time, the villagers who participated in the resistance to the bandits had all kinds of expressions, some of them stared at Genlong with resentment on their faces, eager to kill him as soon as possible, while some of them faintly agreed, and even nodded, as if they had regretted following Heiba to participate in the resistance.
The man in sunglasses stood on the tank, glanced at Genlong and the others in front of him, and after a while, smiled inexplicably.
"Even if you're all dead...... We can get you village stuff too, can't we? β
"Huh?"
Without waiting for Genlong and the others to react, the man in sunglasses suddenly jumped back into the cockpit of the tank co-shooter, grabbed the heavy machine gun in front of the cockpit, and fired suddenly.
"Noβ"
Qingzi heard the gunshots and hurriedly looked, and at a glance saw Genlong and Pengqiao, as well as the dozen or so young villagers who were pierced through the body by machine gun bullets, and died on the spot: "Father! Brother! β
Qingzi's hoarse cry was heard by the man in sunglasses, and after killing Gentaka and the others in front of him, the muzzle of the man in sunglasses turned to aim at Qingzi again.
"Get down !!"
Heihachi hurriedly knocked Aoko down, but his movements were still a step slower, and the machine gun was already firing. Aoko was not injured under the protection of Heihachi, but Heihachi himself was hit in the arm by a bullet from the machine gun, and the skin was instantly opened!
"Ahh Damn it! Heihachi couldn't help but scold, but he didn't forget to hide behind the bunker with Aoko.
"Listen to the crumbs inside! You are already dead! After a round of shooting, the man in sunglasses roared wildly towards the village: "I might as well tell you that Lao Tzu has already decided to kill you all!" But you still dare to resist, in this case, you can't be allowed to die too happily! Lao Tzu will level your broken village! Play your women to death, and then take your children out and sell them! Let you know the fate of disobedience! β
After speaking, the man in sunglasses raised his hand, and the bandits who followed the tank raised their guns again, and the rain of bullets that was even more violent than just now poured towards Rayson and the others!
Rayson, Eagle Mountain and the others hurriedly retracted behind the bunker, and Ashley squatted with her head in her hands, and couldn't help but scold angrily: "This dead old man! At this time, I still want to surrender! It's good to be dead! You deserve to die! β
Eagle Mountain was in no mood to gloat: "Their firepower is stronger than just now!" This broken wall will soon be untenable! What do we do next! β
Rayson knew that Eagle Mountain was asking himself, but he didn't have a headache. The firepower was even more fierce now than before, and he couldn't find a chance to go out and use the shoulder gun. Now if you dare to go out, you will immediately be beaten into a sieve by the rain of bullets.
"Hmph~Hmph~"
Suddenly, a discordant voice reached everyone's ears. Rayson looked back and saw that it was a pig, the pig that the middle-aged man was holding when he came out of the warehouse.
This pig is fat and strong, it is really rare in this year, and I don't know what to feed, and I can walk through the rain of bullets and bullets outside, and I have to say that it is really fateful.
Because of the explosion, the pig was covered with a lot of black ash, and for some reason, it seemed to be completely oblivious to the gunfire outside, and there was no sign of fright, and the pig's head was arched around on the ground, still looking for something to eat.
Rayson soon found out that there were dried blood stains under the two large ears, and the pig must have been deaf during the first shelling.
After thinking about it for a while, Rayson had an idea, and turned his head to look at Eagle Mountain: "Are there any bombs that were given to you before?" β
Eagle Mountain nodded, and took out a string of glass bottles from his clothes.
"Good!" Rayson said, looking at the pig that was still foraging for food.
"Our life and death are all counting on this pig!"
