Chapter 47 The ammunition warehouse is empty
It was on this side of the bridge that the Russian consul was shot.
Over there at the ammunition warehouse.
On each wall, a dozen men with blood-stained faces stood guard, guns in their hands, and their eyes were both cautious and fierce.
Soon after, they clearly saw a long line with torches in the distance, quickly passing through the alley under the dark night, and its direction was to go straight to the ammunition warehouse.
"Hurry down and go to the warehouse to tell Leader Yang that the support of the officers and soldiers has arrived." A man with a face blackened by ammunition said with a serious face.
"Yes."
Not long after one person was ordered to leave, Nalan Yuanshu led thousands of officers and soldiers with fast-firing rifles to the scene.
Dozens of corpses were piled up randomly under the city walls, some were shot to death, some were hacked to death with knives, and even a few corpses were smeared with liver and brains, apparently thrown from the city wall by the revolutionary team, and their heads were smashed on the stone slabs.
A closer look showed that Nalan Yuanshu did not find any corpses of the revolutionary team, all of them were officers and soldiers. Seeing the corpses of officers and soldiers being disposed of like this, his face was ugly at this time.
"Chief, there's no ammunition in the warehouse, we've been tricked." A man dressed in sackcloth with a resolute face smashed several wooden barrels straight through the warehouse with the butt of his gun, and found that they were all hollow. This discovery made his face change drastically, and he immediately turned his head and shouted to Chief Yang who was standing not far from the door.
This group of revolutionary teams is basically a death squad of a certain gang to support Sun Wen, and Leader Yang is the deputy leader of this gang, and he also serves as a part-time gang's think tank military advisor.
He was responsible for the capture of the ammunition warehouse this time, and after the capture of the ammunition warehouse, he immediately sent a signal to notify the more than 1,000 brothers outside the city, asking them to launch a full offensive and directly attack the important government offices in the city of Guangfu, the four prefectures of the capital, the governor, the governor, and the admiral of the navy.
As long as these four provinces are captured, the revolutionary contingent will be able to control Guangfu in their hands.
Therefore, the operation of the ammunition depot is very crucial, and it is related to the success or failure of this uprising, first, not only to cut off the ammunition support of the officers and men, and second, to seize the guns and ammunition can greatly increase their strength, and at this time, if they want to capture some strongholds that are difficult to defend and attack, they do not have to use human lives to pile up because of the lack of ammunition.
In addition, after the capture of Guangfu, the revolutionary team still needs to face the counterattack of the Manchus, if the troops are insufficient, how to repel the suppressive army sent by the Manchus at that time, then this uprising can also be regarded as a bamboo basket for nothing.
Now when he heard that his subordinates said that they had been tricked, and the barrels in the ammunition warehouse were all empty, Leader Yang instantly tore off Si Swenwen's disguise and scolded directly: "Pounce/you/old/mother, Yen/home/shovel ......"
How could this not make Leader Yang lose his temper, they spent more than half of their lives in exchange for an empty warehouse, no, some wooden barrels, but what is the use, they need guns and ammunition!
"Chief, the outside is surrounded by officers and soldiers." After one person came in, he shouted directly.
"Just in time, brothers, let's go, and kill these vicious and cunning lackeys." Leader Yang's face was furious, and with a wave of his hand, he left with a dozen brothers.
At this time, just when Leader Yang was about to step on the city wall, under the four city walls, there were officers and soldiers standing at the forefront, and they were shouting loudly:
"The bandits inside, you don't have to resist anymore."
"It's useless, this place is all surrounded by us, and you have no way to escape."
"I advise you to come down and surrender obediently, or you will starve to death inside."
……
Leader Yang was so angry at this time that it was indescribable.
You must know that he often regards himself as the reincarnation of Zhuge in ordinary times, and looks down on the officials who are as stupid as deer pigs, who will only bully the poor people with a vegetarian meal.
This operation, in his opinion, was a sure victory, but he was slapped in the face and put on a stand by this group of stupid officers and soldiers!
Isn't it a mockery of his incompetence to slap him in the face and now shout from below to make them surrender?
Thinking about it, Leader Yang's delicate face was about to turn into a hideous demon, and he said with a cracked finger: "He/mother/, give me a gun, I will kill this group of officers and soldiers." “
"Yes." A young subordinate was very frightened at this time, and he really didn't dare to look at Leader Yang, and handed out a rear-loading single-shot rifle with a trembling expression.
With a click, Leader Yang skillfully loaded the bullet and aimed directly at the officers and soldiers standing in front of him shouting.
"Bang."
With a crisp gunshot in the night sky, a blood flower flashed on the chest of the officer and soldier in an instant!
And just when the officer and soldier only had time to shout "ah" and fell to the ground, the hands of the officers and soldiers under the city wall quickly pulled a series of clicking sounds, and in the dark night, the muzzle of the gun instantly spewed sparks, and the bullets went straight to the top of the city wall.
Leader Yang, who was in a state of anger, felt that one shot was not enough, and wanted to continue to shoot and kill the officers and soldiers under the city wall, but his subordinates had good eyesight, and hurriedly pulled down Leader Yang's figure and tightened to cover behind the stones.
"Bang bang."
Under the night sky, the gunshots rang out incessantly for a while. During this time, small pieces of rubble disintegrated from the stones and splashed onto the corridors of the city walls.
At this time, feeling the rubble that kept falling on his body, Leader Yang's head gradually became much clearer.
"What about the chief?"
At this time, hearing the question of his subordinates, it made Leader Yang think of the current desperate situation, and his expression suddenly froze. After being stunned for a while, he looked back at his subordinates who were a little anxious, and he wanted to open his mouth and speak, but it was difficult to say a word for a long time, and suddenly, he seemed to have lost the ability to speak.
They have limited funds, and there are not many guns and ammunition, so they can only supply hundreds of people for a battle, so they have experienced a war, and there are only a few dozen brothers who survived in the ammunition warehouse, and the ammunition carried by the brothers is not much, and there are only a dozen bullets left per person.
And under the city wall, it has been surrounded by thousands of officers and soldiers, so how can they repel the officers and soldiers?
If they hold on, how long will they be able to hold out, and will they be able to hold out until the reinforcements come in?
"Reinforcements?"
To tell the truth, Chief Yang no longer had any hope of reinforcements at this time, and since the ammunition warehouse was empty, it proved that the government had already known that they were preparing to rebel, so the brothers outside the city might be in a desperate situation now.
In this way, is it useful for them to defend to the death, there are not many personnel, there is no ammunition, no food, no water, what do they take to guard?
"Brothers, remember our slogan?" Inspecting the expressions of his subordinates, some people looked at death as home, some trembled, and some were eclipsed...... After thinking for a while, Leader Yang asked with a hint of grandeur in his voice.
"Eliminate violence and peace!"
A loud roar resounded in the sky above the city wall, and at this time, Nalan Yuanshu looked stunned, squinted his eyes upward, and then ordered: "Strengthen your guard!" “
