Chapter 8: On Queen's Road, Muskets vs. Crossbows
In the daily newspaper, everyone looked at a blackboard with a map drawn by Chen Shaobai.
Li Yutang and Qiao Guoqiang stood next to the map and sat down for everyone.
"Tomorrow at nine o'clock in the morning, Mr. Sun will go ashore." Li Yutang said, "There are at least thousands of people at Tianxing Wharf, and that is an ambush from all sides." ”
"Coolies, merchants, travelers, commoners, dragons and snakes. The killer must be hiding in it, everyone must take it step by step! ”
"Still." His voice changed: "The big-headed green clothes (police) on the dock will be our best protection." And there are a lot of foreigners, and the other party does not dare to be blatant. ”
The door suddenly opened, and Ah Si, the coachman played by Brother Tingfeng, walked in with seven or eight muscular young men wearing sleeveless sweatshirts.
"Boss." Ah Si said hello to Li Yutang, and then pointed to the people behind him and said, "It's all my brothers, they run faster than me!" ”
Li Yutang was stunned, and after reacting, he nodded and said, "Okay!" Then he beckoned to the coachmen, "Sit, sit..."
"The enemy is dark and I am clear." Li Yutang thought for a while and said to everyone, "There must be someone upstairs who plays the flag." ”
"I'm coming!" The man with the glasses who had his head broken by the police volunteered.
"You're not very safe alone." Qiao Guoqiang said, "In case the enemy also thinks of this trick, someone will send someone to kill you." You have to find someone to take care of your back. ”
"I'll go!" Fang Hong (played by Brother Chun), the daughter of the Fang class master, stood up and said.
"Yes!" Fang Class Master agreed, "My daughter's kung fu is not bad. Moreover, she also has two guns from Brother Joe. I can handle it. ”
"Good!" Li Yutang agreed.
"You've got two." Li Yutang pointed to his glasses and Fang Hong, and arranged, "Responsible for controlling the wind on the roof." ”
"Our route tomorrow is Furen Literary Agency, my grandmother's house, and then the daily newspaper here."
"Pay extra attention to these three places."
"Understood!" The glasses guy nodded.
"We have a limited number of people." Li Yutang said to the other class master and the big man who was more than two meters tall, Wang Fuming: "From Queen's Road to Furen Cultural Society, the main force relies on the protection of the two of you one after the other. ”
"In addition, yesterday Qin Jiu told me that the three shops on Queen's Road were rented out. Who to rent to, I don't know. He pointed to three places, "So, pay extra attention to safety!" ”
"Don't worry about this!" Qiao Guoqiang held a cup of tea and said, "Tonight, they will not exist!" ”
"This..."Li Yutang and Chen Shaobai's eyes widened at the same time, "This is too high-profile, right?" ”
"Nope! I'm going to knock on the mountain and shake the tiger! Qiao Guoqiang walked to the map and patted the three shops, "These three shops will be handed over to me, and the rest of the route will be guarded by you!" I don't like to be reactive. ”
"Good!" Li Yutang and Chen Shaobai agreed
"What about what I asked me to prepare?".
"All set!" Li Yutang said, "It's in my house!" ”
In the evening, Li Yutang's Jin Liyuan Commercial Bank.
All the coachmen, coolies, and others who participated in the operation were invited to Li Yutang's home to entertain them.
Li Yutang even personally cooked a few special dishes for Qiao Guoqiang.
In the backyard, the backrests and side tarpaulins of several rickshaws are fitted with three-millimeter homogeneous steel plates provided by Qiao Guoqiang.
Li Yutang's concubine played by Fan Ye is taking a few maids to install quilts on the seats of the rickshaw as cushions.
Fang Ban Owner and his 30 brothers were each given a rattan plaque for the police. Although the rattan brand can't block the gun, it can still block the arrow.
When encountering an enemy, one hand covers himself with a rattan card and shoots with the other.
They worked in groups of two, one shooting first, and one sitting and preparing. The first person finished firing six rounds and swapped with the other person, either by changing guns or positions.
The big man, Wang Fuming, was wearing an oversized stab-proof suit, carrying two stainless steel explosion-proof maces given by Qiao Guoqiang in his hands, and two satchels around his waist, which contained two sets of billiards.
When the time comes, he throws a billiard ball far away and smashes it, and goes in with a mace!
In the courtyard, Li Yutang's daughter held a lit incense stick and stretched out to the firecrackers on the ground.
"Bang!" With a bang, firecrackers rang off.
The business of this era is basically the model of "front shop and back shop" that has been handed down since ancient times. Behind Li Yutang's home is the warehouse of their warehouse.
In an empty warehouse, Qiao Guoqiang took Li Chongguang and others to practice shooting.
His sister's firecrackers were also arranged by Qiao Guoqiang, just to cover up the gunshots.
"The wrist is parallel to the arm, so that the direction of the wrist is the direction of the bullet." Qiao Guoqiang held the revolver and pointed it at the wooden target, "Bang!" Bang! "Two shots!
"Now you come! There are only 12 bullets per person. ”
Colt's revolver gunfire rang out one after another in the warehouse. An hour later, it was good to make everyone less afraid of the gunshots, at least Li Chongguang was not afraid but a little excited.
After eating a Cantonese dinner cooked by Li Yutang, Qiao Guoqiang stepped on a skateboard and went to Queen's Road.
According to the list provided by Li Yutang, he first found one of the three stores.
"Who?"
"Bang" "Bang! "Bang!" The semi-automatic shotgun fired three shots in a row, and more than 200 4.8mm lead bullets knocked several killers into pockmarked faces.
Looking at the image in the infrared night vision device, Qiao Guoqiang looked at the partition wall of the wood, "Bang!" Boom! "Bang! Boom! "Four shots, killing two other killers behind the wall.
Before going out, he made a trap out of fishing line, scotch tape, and grenades.
"There are two more!"
The other two are also the same routine. Wearing infrared night vision devices, he took out the people inside with a gun, and then sat a few mines on the gate.
In the early hours of the same day, an explosion occurred at two shops on Queen's Road, killing 11 people and affecting several innocent passers-by.
At nine o'clock in the morning, Xwen, dressed in a white suit and wearing a helmet cool hat, landed at the Star Pier.
"Shaobai!" Sun Wen and Chen Shaobai hugged "hard work"
After greeting each other, the two got into the modified rickshaw.
According to the plan, X-Wen will first go to the Furen Literary Society to have a meeting with the representatives of the revolutionary party in the thirteen provinces, and then go to see his mother. Then, he will go to the Tianchao Daily office to talk to Chen Shaobai and others.
However, in the plot, he gave up the opportunity to go back to see his mother and decided to leave after the meeting.
When Qiao Guoqiang came out to sweep the three shops last night, Li Yutang and Chen Shaobai had already decided to help Sun Wen find a stand-in.
The stand-in stayed at the Furen Literary Society, and then an hour after X-Wen entered the Furen Literary Society, he pretended to be X-Wen to see his mother and lure away the killer.
The rickshaw procession rushed along Queen's Road to Furen Cultural Society, and along the way, Chen Shaobai's companions and Fang Ban Master's men watched the crowd around them vigilantly, and the killer was hiding among them.
Fang Tian, who was in charge of the guard, kept looking at the flag on the top of the building.
Soon, he realized that something was wrong.
"Bang! Bang! "Two gunshots. A man in black was thrown from upstairs. Before they had gone two hundred meters, the convoy encountered the first wave of attacks.
"It's a killer!" Fang Tian saw that the person on the ground was not theirs, and immediately reacted that it was the enemy who wanted to kill the glasses of the banner, but he was killed by his daughter!
"Whoosh! Sou! Sou! Sou! A group of crossbowmen shot their crossbow arrows at the rickshaw from the window, and the steel plate on the rickshaw was hit by the arrows. "Do!" "Do!" Straight sound.
"Block the arrow!" Fang Class Master shouted.
The men on the left and right immediately raised the rattan cards to block the arrows, and then pulled out the revolvers at their waists and pointed at the windows on both sides of the street, "Bang!" "Bang!" Shoot!
As soon as the shots rang out, the streets were in chaos!
Xiangjiang is a place where the synagogue is often fighting, even if it is because of a dung business, you can use a knife. The citizens here have long been surprised.
When watching the movie, Qiao Guoqiang discovered that when those people killed people in the street, the local citizens didn't dodge.
But now, they have long since taken refuge in nearby shops and rooms.
In the past, the gang fought with knives and hammers with sticks! Relatively safe, they should also watch the excitement.
Now that the bullets are flying, who guarantees that it is not themselves who will be hit?
"Attention, everyone, alternate cover!" Fang Ban Master raised his shotgun and pointed at a window on the second floor on the left, "Bang!" "It's just a shot!
