Chapter 585: Breaking Muscles and Bones
In the end, both Charik and Hu Chongwen had to find cover so as not to become the target of the other party's attack. Dust√ Margin× Literature → Learning ↗ Network
Although Charik later ordered his men to throw away the torches, by this time, his side had already lost more than 100 people.
Since the people on Charik's side also threw away the torches, it was not so easy for Valletta's people to hit them, and the battle became stalemate, but fortunately, Charik's side could not find Valletta's people, so Valletta's personnel did not suffer any losses.
What's more, because of Valletta's volley, Charik's men could not continue to move forward and were blocked here.
Charik looked at the fire on the side of his manor, but he couldn't take a step forward, and he was so angry that he tried to lead people to break through several times, but was beaten back by Valletta with fierce fire.
It wasn't until Marin's men retreated and Valletta was informed that Valletta quietly disappeared into the forest. However, Chalik broke through for the fifth time and found that he was not attacked by the opponent again, only to know that the opponent had left.
Charik didn't care about chasing Valletta, so he hurriedly led his men to the manor. I finally came to the hill in front of the manor, and I could see the situation of the manor from the hill.
But as soon as Charik saw what he saw, he almost fainted.
I saw that I had spent countless manpower and material resources to imitate the manor built by the European aristocracy, and the once beautiful manor was now in a sea of fire.
This manor is different from the base on the hill of the Chen family, the base of the Chen family is on the mountain, full of tropical plants, and the climate is very humid, so it is difficult to burn, this manor is different, the trees on it have long been cut down by Charik, and those houses are said to be built in imitation of European manors, so his manor is much easier to burn than the base of the Chen family.
Charik liked his manor house very much, and made it his residence, and most importantly, he kept most of his fortune here, except for his savings in the bank.
Thinking of his own property, as well as the goods he used to hold his position after this year's trading conference, Charlik's eyes suddenly turned red, and he shouted to his subordinates:
"Quick, go put out the fire, put out the fire in the warehouse for me, even if you use someone to fill it, you will put out the fire there for me!"
As he spoke, he himself ran towards the manor like crazy.
Hu Chongwen looked at the fire in front of him, as well as the four watchtowers that had become ruins, and shook his head involuntarily, he really miscalculated this time, he didn't expect that the other party would completely abandon his base, and then spare Charik and directly attack Charik's manor.
This time, Hu Chongwen also had to admit that he was a complete failure.
However, Hu Chongwen was secretly glad that he was fortunate to have taken all his people out and did not stay here in the manor, otherwise, I am afraid that he would have to accompany Chalik and those people to die in Huangquan.
"Boss." A subordinate next to him came to Hu Chongwen's side.
Hu Chongwen shook his head, as if he was talking to himself:
"The bone of the Chen family is even more difficult to gnaw than we imagined."
After a pause, he frowned again and said:
"But it doesn't make sense, the Chen family may still be able to do something in the past, but the Chen father and son were also killed by Charik's collusion with the Burmese, and the Chen family is just a little girl, it stands to reason that even if they don't do anything to them, it will be difficult for them to survive in this Colosseum, but now..."
The Chen family, which should have been difficult to gain a foothold, not only swept away Qin Maosheng and Lagong and took their territory as their own, but now they have also severely pit Charik, and even raided Charik's lair.
"Could it be that there are still masters in the Chen family that we don't know?" Hu Chongwen touched his chin and said:
"As far as I know, there is only one Lao Yang left in the Chen family who is still a talent, but that guy is more than capable of keeping things and is not enterprising, and his ability to fight is far inferior to the Chen family's father and son, even if Chen Wenfeng left a reserve force of hundreds of people back then, if Lao Yang is allowed to manage it, at most it is just to keep the Chen family from being wiped out for the time being, and he can't do what he is doing now."
Speaking of this, Hu Chongwen shook his head and said to the subordinates beside him:
"Forget it, let's go down and see Charik's losses first, this time, I'm afraid he is really injured."
He's right, Charik is really hurt this time.
It turned out that more than 300 of the 500 people who were on this side of the manor were killed and burned, and the other 100 people did not know where to flee, Charik's manor was burned, and most importantly, the money and goods he put in the manor were plundered, and there was nothing left for Chalik.
When Charik learned of this, he spat out a mouthful of blood on the spot, and then fainted in the dark.
Charik was so angry that he vomited blood on the spot, but Marin and the others returned with a full load.
Marin first sent someone back to the base to check, and made sure that there was no Charlik there before leading the team.
The mountain ridge that was used as a base camp by Chin Mori was called Zouma Mountain.
After returning to the mountain, to Lao Yang and Chen Rong's surprise, here in the base, except for a few rooms that were riddled with bullets, the other buildings were intact. And the nearby fields, which were not damaged.
"Why is this Charik so kind-hearted all of a sudden? I thought he was going to at least burn down our base. Chen Rong said.
Marin smiled and said:
"I guess he saw that there was no one here, and realized our intention to attack his headquarters, so in order to rush back in the shortest possible time, it was too late to destroy this place. As for setting fires, hehe, this mountain is full of large trees, and the humidity is heavy, unless he does the whole mountain with gasoline, otherwise not only will it not burn, but his people will choke to death by the smoke. ”
Chen Rong suddenly:
"That's right."
Valletta said: "However, none of the farmers we took were harmed. ”
"Of course." Lao Yang smiled:
"There is an unwritten rule here, that is, no matter how the various forces fight to the death, but they must not harm those farmers, because they are the most important productive forces, and if anyone kills the farmers for no reason, then no one will help him plant in the future."
Valletta looked at Marin and said with a smile: "Originally, I thought you were too late to take these farmers away, but now it seems that you guessed that Charik would not hurt these farmers." ”
"I'm not a cold-blooded and ruthless person, and if I'm not sure they're not in danger, how can I leave without it." Ma Lin smiled, and asked Koizumi next to him:
"By the way, how are we doing tonight?"
Koizumi Yumi:
"On our side, two brothers were sacrificed and more than a dozen people were wounded."
"I also sacrificed three people on my side, and they were shot at by Charik's men." Valletta was a little gloomy.
Although Marin and their battle tonight were five sacrifices in exchange for the lives of three or four hundred people on Charik's side, which was a great victory from any point of view, both Marin and Valletta were distressed and saddened by the sacrifice of their men.
Especially Marin, mercenaries are not replenished, and if one dies, one is less.
"Colonel, there's something I want you to help me with." Marin said to Valletta:
"I hope you can help me bring the bones of the two brothers who died on my side back to their hometown for burial."
Valletta originally thought that Marin had something to help her, but she didn't expect it to be like this, and she couldn't help but feel a little moved.
After all, for everyone, there is nothing more tragic than dying in a foreign land, and it would be too sad if even the bones could not return to their homeland.
"Miss Ma, this is not a help, it is what I should do." Valletta patted Marin on the shoulder.
I heard Marin say to Lao Yang again:
"Lao Yang, during this time, you step up recruitment, select some young and strong ones as soon as possible, arm them, and let them rush to the front next time to reduce the losses of our own people."
