Chapter 69: The Storm is Coming
Meat Tu Zheng showed a look of surprise on his face, he could see at a glance that Shi Chen was holding a real guy in his hand, but the posture of holding the gun was very amateurish, and it was obviously the first time he had touched the gun.
"Oh? I'll give you three shots, and if you can hit the bird's nest, I will not only let you join the battle, but also let you be my deputy to jointly command the township warriors in Taiping Town! ”
Hearing Meat Tu Zheng say this, Shi Chen showed a triumphant smile on his face.
It was indeed the first time he had touched a gun, but after having "Chouss Agility", his nervous reflexes had improved by more than one layer, and he had a high degree of certainty that he would be able to hit, provided that the Mauser box cannon in his hand did not come out of the moth.
"Huh? Is Captain Zheng serious? ”
"Seriously!"
"The captain will teach me how to handjob first."
“…”
After a while, Meat Tu Zheng taught Shi Chen how to open the safe, how to change ammunition, and how to shoot.
Shi Chen arched his hand, indicating that he had learned.
"It's not that I said, your kid's gun is the first time to hit, this bird's nest a hundred meters away, except for the manifestation of Taishang Laojun, otherwise I think it will be absolutely impossible to hit."
Meat Tu Zheng put his hands behind his back, ready to see the boy in front of him who didn't know the height of the sky and the thickness of the sky to make a fool of himself.
"Then the captain has to be ready."
Shi Chen said with a smile.
"Ready for what?"
Meat Tu Zheng asked suspiciously.
"Get ready to see Taishang Laojun!"
Shi Chen teased lightly, and the back looked dignified, staring at the bird's nest a hundred meters away.
Strong nervous reflexes quickly estimate the best firing line.
"Smack!"
The first shot brushed the bird's nest and brought out a wisp of dead branches in the nest.
At this time, the movement here attracted nearby townspeople and laborers, and everyone watched from near and far away, pointing fingers at this place.
"Huh? It must have been shit luck. ”
"Yes, it must be, how can you hit the gun so accurately for the first time?"
"It's too wasteful, it's better to give me this box of cannons, maybe I can kill a few bird soldiers and bandits."
Shi Chen turned a deaf ear to the chatter around him.
The first shot just now was just a test, in order to find out the temper of the gun in his hand.
Each gun has its own temper, or its own state, like a Mauser box gun, the recoil is far better than that of ordinary pistols, plus it can be fired semi-automatically, and it is regarded as an artifact by the country at this time, but its accuracy is intriguing.
After Shi Chen's mind corrected the firing line, he decisively shot the second shot.
"Smack!"
Before the smoke of the muzzle of the gun had dissipated, the bird's nest 100 meters away fell in response.
Everyone was stunned.
Especially the meat Tu Zheng, his mouth was so shocked that he could stuff two eggs.
It took a while before he reacted, his face half respectful and half embarrassed.
"That, little brother Wencai, from now on you will be my deputy, you can not only participate in the war, but also command the battle."
Meat Tu Zheng rubbed his hands, and the embarrassment on his face faded with a kind of sincere admiration.
Shi Chenlu's hand really shocked him, and this marksmanship was placed among all the soldiers in the Governor's Mansion of Zhili, and it was also a superior posture!
"I can't talk about the war, Captain Zheng is willing to let me participate in the war, as a member of Taiping Town, how can I be a watcher?"
Shi Chen was full of pride, and the words he said made the people around him admire and impress.
For a moment, his prestige rose to the extreme, and at this time, he was about to charge, and no one would say a word.
Meanwhile.
On the road more than ten kilometers outside Taiping Town.
Hundreds of people marched towards Taiping Town, and it was the militia bandits.
They don't bother to take a detour from the mountains, Taiping Town is just a group of dirt buns for them, that is, the regular army in the hands of the marshal, they can fight, and now in the face of this kind of township temporary armament, is it not crushing?
So they didn't have the idea of taking a detour at all, so they took the big road, and the gods blocked and killed the gods, and the Buddhas blocked and killed the Buddhas!
This group of tiger and wolf divisions drove towards Taiping Town with great momentum, without concealing or caring about it.
Soon, it was discovered by the forward secret post arranged by Zong Shen.
The dark whistle quickly ran wildly, reporting level by level.
In just over ten minutes, the information passed through the town.
"Report! Ten minutes ago, the enemy was spotted at the front, numbering about 500 people, not carrying artillery and other heavy weapons, and approaching at the speed of a foot army! ”
The last level of the dark whistle rushed wildly and said to Meat Tu Zheng.
Everyone was on standby.
"Go and tell Mayor Zong that the enemy is coming!"
"Brother Wencai, you also go back to Yizhuang to inform you, if there is a war in a while, we can't take care of Yizhuang very well."
Meat Tu Zheng explained in an orderly manner.
"Good! I'll go back as soon as I go. ”
Shi Chen didn't delay, and trotted all the way towards Yizhuang.
And Zong Shen was also awakened, wiped his face casually, let his spirit recover, and picked up a Mauser M1905 rifle and walked out of the house, at this moment, he was not the mayor of the town, not a healer, but a soldier guarding his homeland!
More than ten kilometers away, the militia bandits were gradually approaching, and their expressions were indifferent, as if the battle was not humans, but a group of pigs and dogs.
Soon came into contact with the first line of rejecting horses.
After receiving the order, the townspeople who were originally guarding here had already retreated, and their strength was not equal, and if they were dispersed, they would have no advantage, so it was better to unite the troops and twist them into a rope.
However, when the townspeople evacuated, they still laid a trick mine after the rejection.
Simple home-made explosives, not to be able to kill, but to interfere with them.
The militia bandits were experienced, and they used the handle of their guns to push away the horses.
Sure enough, the explosives were directly detonated.
A not-so-violent explosion rang out, sending the entire wooden horse flying.
"Hidden!"
The battalion commander who took the lead shouted, and the bandits scattered in all directions.
The wooden horse fell among the bandits, and the sawdust flew sideways, so it was not embarrassed.
Only then did the bandits put away their contempt for Taiping Town.
Proceed cautiously.
There are more and more rejections along the way.
From time to time, there are pitfalls buried in unexpected places on the side of the road.
Soon, casualties began to appear in the ranks.
Several of the bandits were pierced through their legs by sharp wooden spikes because they had guessed the ground stab, and in such an era, being wounded was equivalent to indirectly losing its value.
All the wounded were housed on the side of the road, and most of them kept moving forward.
The casualties in the ranks began to gradually affect the morale of the bandits, and the casualties before they saw the enemy could not help but shake their self-confidence a little.
The militia bandits marched all the way, pushing away the horses and breaking through the pits, and the speed was greatly delayed.
Several current battalion commanders got together.
"Send a team to bypass Taiping Town from the mountain road, this road has been messed up by that group of dirt buns, our team is large, and it has been delayed for too long, I'm afraid County Magistrate Zhou will blame."
Several battalion commanders nodded, and each summoned a few elite subordinates to form a team of dozens of people, interspersed with the mountain road on the side of the road.
