Chapter 18 Zhang Yuanwai arrived
The afterglow of the slanting sun clothed the wilderness outside the city with a blood-red coat.
A horse, a man, is slowly approaching.
He carried a rifle on his back, a cigar in his hand, and a mask carved out of agarwood, which covered half of his face, revealing only his mouth. He rode his horse and took the cigar in his mouth.
The unique shape is particularly eye-catching.
"It's Zhang Yuanwai!"
Changfu finally stopped stammering, let out a heart-rending shout, turned his head and ran towards the city.
At the same time, Zhang Yuanwai also took off his rifle, and a gunshot rang out with the muzzle of the gun.
In an instant, the sound of horses' hooves came from the plain.
It seems to be ten thousand horses galloping, and the sound of hooves is bursting. Fast horses appeared from the horizon and galloped towards the gate of Qi County.
At a cursory glance, there were at least two or three hundred horses.
Immediately there were knights, and as they galloped their horses, they let out a cry like a wolf's howl.
"It's Zhang Yuanwai, close the door, close the door!"
When the police at the city gate saw this scene, they were all scattered.
Changfu rushed into the city gate and fell to the ground with a stumble. That is, the moment he fell, five or six people suddenly rushed out on both sides of the city gate. They all had twenty bellies in their hands, and without saying a word, they shot at the police. In the blink of an eye, more than a dozen policemen fell in pools of blood.
The firepower of the pot-bellied box is too fierce!
Although the police also have guns in their hands, their old sleeves are simply vulnerable compared to the pot-bellied boxes.
The government of the Republic of China was established and has been trying to establish its own military-industrial system.
But the problem is that the foundation is too weak...... So much so that twenty years have passed, and I haven't seen any improvement. Weapons in the army are a hodgepodge, messy of everything. As for the police station, if it weren't for Liu Qiang's connection, he might not even be able to equip these old sleeves.
In the face of the ferocious fire of the box artillery, although the number of police is large, they do not have any advantage.
At the same time, the bandits outside the city are getting closer.
They picked up their spears and opened fire on the gates. Bullets whizzed in, and several policemen who rushed forward to try to close the city gate were sieveed by the dense bullets and fell in pools of blood.
"The bandits are coming, Zhang Yuanwai has entered the city!"
For a time, the city gate was a mess.
People ran around, fleeing in confusion, shouting as they ran, which made the situation even more chaotic.
The bandits had already stormed the city gates, and the few surviving policemen had already thrown their guns aside and squatted on the ground with their heads in their hands. The bandits, armed with box cannons, have taken control of the city gates. After entering the city, the bandits immediately divided into two routes, one went straight to the police station, and the other went to the county office. Immediately after, a dense burst of gunfire rang out......
At the gate of the city, about 200 bandits gathered.
The bandits who appeared first also entered the city gates.
Still on his horse, cigar in hand, he puffed out a puff of smoke from his mouth.
With a wave of his hand, immediately a bandit dismounted and rushed up to close the city gate. Some of the bandits went up to the castle tower and closely monitored the movements outside the city.
A bandit carrying a box cannon stepped forward and arched his hand and said, "Big brother, it's all solved!"
The wires of the county office, the police station, and the telegraph office have been cut by us. Before dawn, Hebei Province will not find out about the situation here, and it is guaranteed that no government reinforcements will arrive before noon tomorrow. ”
"Smooth, well done."
The bandit, who was on horseback, took out of the coat of his horse's back two bundles of unopened silver dollars and threw them at the man.
If Ma Sanyuan and they were here, they would definitely be able to recognize it, this bandit with a box cannon in his hand, a murderous face, and a hideous face, was Zhang Shunyu, who was honest in the back kitchen on weekdays.
"Lao Jiu!"
"Here, big brother commanded."
"Give you a hundred men, and give me the gates to guard.
Notify me immediately if there is any situation...... By the way, I remember that there seemed to be two mountain cannons in the police station, and they pushed me to the castle tower. Hehe, even if someone doesn't have long eyes and wants to attack, we are not afraid. ”
IN THE ARSENAL OF THE QI COUNTY POLICE STATION, THERE ARE TWO 75MM MOUNTAIN GUNS LEFT OVER FROM THE LATE QING DYNASTY.
Obviously, this bandit knows the situation in Qi County very well, and even knows the equipment of the arsenal.
"Shunyo, let's go to Tongfu Hotel."
"Hehe, it's just right for the eldest brother to go at this time, it is estimated that the meal has been prepared at this point."
"That daring, Ma Fatzi's craftsmanship is really good, and I have been thinking about the eight big bowls he made for a long time."
The bandits laughed and urged their horses to leave.
Zhang Shunyu led the way in front, and behind them a group of bandits followed closely.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
"It's a big New Year, and it's snowing heavily, so I can't figure out what those rich people are doing here."
Tongfu Hotel, full of lights.
It's New Year's Day, and the lobby of the hotel is almost full.
Wealthy people want to get a good fortune on this day, so most of them choose to eat out. Although Tongfu Hotel is a hotel, because of the existence of Ma Sanyuan, today's business is also very hot.
The entire lobby, which was full of no more than a dozen tables, were all booked.
Some are hotel guests, and some are rich people in the city, anyway, it is lively and joyful.
Su Wenxing was busy, going in and out, constantly greeting guests.
Taking advantage of the cooking, he sat on the threshold of the back kitchen and took a breath.
Xiao Jinzi was busy, and when he heard Su Wenxing's words, he couldn't help but scold: "Zhang Shunyu of his donkey ball, knowing that business is good tonight, he still has no one to return his donkey ball...... Brother Su is talking about the one upstairs? ”
"Hmm."
What Su Wenxing said was Mrs. Jin and the others in the No. 1 room of Tianzi.
These people are very strange, and when they come to the hotel, they enter the guest room and don't come out again.
Lunch was in the room, as was dinner. Thanks to Ma Sanyuan, he also left a table out, and it was in vain to see the situation. So rich people, the meal is very simple, and they are not very picky.
Su Wenxing went to collect the tableware once in the afternoon, and found that the food delivered at noon had been eaten cleanly......
In my heart, it became more and more strange.
He was now certain that Mrs. Kim upstairs was no one of Hahona.
And, from their demeanor, Su Wenxing could vaguely guess where they came from.
"Zhang Shunyu didn't come?"
"He's a donkey ball every day, and he won't be seen in the afternoon."
Zhang Shunyu is a white case in the back kitchen, usually conscientious and very diligent.
But today I don't know what's going on, and I haven't seen anyone yet. In desperation, Xiao Jin had no choice but to go up. Fortunately, he had learned the work on the white case with Ma Sanyuan, so he could barely cope with it.
Finish a basket of noodles and put it in the steamer.
Ma Sanyuan also prepared the dishes and was about to call Su Wenxing over.
Who knows, but there was a commotion outside.
The dense gunshots came, causing Su Wenxing's face to change suddenly.
Without saying a word, he ran upstairs. When I was in the hot water bucket, I took out the box gun hidden in the gap and put it in my arms.
I knew something was going to happen!
Su Wenxing didn't care about the others, the first thing he remembered was Mrs. Jin upstairs.
It doesn't matter if Mrs. Kim is Hakhona or not, she must have something to do with Hakhona. On the first day of the first month, Tianzi No. 1 room...... These two conditions alone are enough to show her origin. Su Wenxing didn't dare to be a little lazy. He came to Qi County just for Hai Hona, how could he let go of this only clue now?
It's just that before he rushed upstairs, he heard a scream in the corridor.
Immediately after, two gunshots rang out, and with a pop, someone fell to the floor.
Su Wenxing hurriedly stopped, leaned against the wall, and looked into the aisle. I saw two people carrying guns and rushing into the No. 1 room of Tianzi. At the door of the room, there were two corpses, which seemed to be Madame Kim's followers.
Syllable!
There was another gunshot from inside the house.
Su Wenxing didn't dare to wait any longer, and hurriedly rushed into the aisle.
Crack, there was a dense burst of gunfire in the room. When Su Wenxing rushed to the door of the room, he saw a person running out, and he was one of the two people who entered the house first. He looked flustered and embarrassed. The moment he saw Su Wenxing, he was stunned at first, then raised his pistol and pulled the trigger.
His reaction was quite quick!
However, Su Wenxing's reaction was faster than him.
Although the virus eroded his bodily functions, causing his body and reflexes to weaken rapidly. However, the foundation laid since childhood, coupled with the cultivation in the old temple in the past four years, has made Su Wenxing regress a lot, but he is still better than the other party. While he was running, he suddenly crouched down and raised his gun to shoot.
The two gunshots rang out almost at the same time, and the other party's bullet skipped over Su Wenxing's head, but Su Wenxing's bullet hit the opponent's forehead.
The man's eyes widened and he looked incredulous, and he fell to the ground on his back.
Su Wenxing exhaled a breath of turbidity, stood up with a breath, and arrived at the door of the room in three steps and two steps.
The layout of Tianzi No. 1 room is one outside and two inside.
Outside is the residence of two henchmen, inside is a living room, a bedroom.
On the sofa in the living room, there was a corpse lying down, it was Mrs. Kim. She was shot in the chest and died instantly.
And next to the sofa, there was a corpse, which was the other person who had just entered the house.
After making sure that there was no one else in the room, Su Wenxing walked to the side of the corpse and turned the corpse over one by one. frowned, this person was also shot and died, but the wound was a little different.
SEEMS LIKE A 7.65MM BULLET?
Su Wenxing was very familiar with firearms, but for a while he couldn't remember which model this was and which brand of bullets was used. The other party's shot was very close, so the deceased did not react at all.
However, the deceased also used twenty rings, which was the same model as Su Wenxing.
Brigand?
In Su Wenxing's heart, there was a sense of foreboding.
He hurriedly searched the deceased's body and found several magazines, which he casually carried in his arms.
At this moment, there was a commotion outside the window.
Su Wenxing hurriedly walked to the window, and saw pedestrians running on the road, making a mess.
A group of fast horses rushed into the street and stopped outside the door of the Tongfu Hotel. All fast horses and spears......
Bandits, into the city!
