Chapter Forty-Nine: Only the Locomotive Is a Man's Romance
Chapter 49
Only the locomotive is a man's romance
"Brothers, the opportunity to make a fortune has come, and anyone who wants to make a fortune will follow me. www.biquge.info Similar shouts resounded among the pirates, constantly stirring the already crazy nerves of the pirates, and launching a desperate assault on the city gate that had been half opened by the inner ghost.
In order to break the city gate as soon as possible, Zheng Mingjun even dismantled two nine-pounder guns from the battleship and pushed them to the city to assist in the siege. The roar added a bit of power to the pirate side. A few Qing soldiers with weak minds dropped their weapons and were about to flee from this Shura field, but they were hacked to death by the Eight Banners Korea, which served as the overseer team in the rear, before they could run a few steps.
Zheng Mingjun and the pirate's musket team formed a line and fired non-stop at the city wall, and the Qing army did not dare to show their heads. Several red-coated cannons in the city occasionally counterattacked, and they soon attracted more fierce targets, either being directly destroyed, or being beaten off from the gun mount, and could no longer be used.
As most of the Hokkien-speaking Zheng Mingjun and pirates poured onto the city wall from all directions, the gates of Guangzhou were opened, and the resistance in the city became weaker and weaker, and everyone knew that it would be difficult to repel this group of pirates.
After Gu Beijing fired all the remaining three shotguns in Bonelli's M1, the whole person quickly rushed into the middle of more than a dozen pirates like a tiger. Gu Beijing's whole person carried a huge amount of kinetic energy, and he crashed into the body of the person in front of him.
The dark-skinned man's eyes suddenly bulged, and blood continued to flow from the corners of his mouth, and he couldn't see that he would survive.
Gu Beijing dodged two snow-bright fish-killing knives sideways, and then the man had the opportunity to restrain his wrist when he was unsteady, and slashed it out with one sword, directly disemboweling a pirate who couldn't dodge.
A pirate who was armed with a wild sword and looked like he was the leader of the people shouted loudly, and slashed from behind, and saw that he could not dodge. Gu Beijing simply elbowed the pirate in the stomach and threw him at the sharp sword with all his might.
With a thud, the pirate was almost cut in two by the Notai knife in the chest, and the tragic scene made all the pirates stand on the spot for a while, at least for a while, they were in a trance.
At this moment, a Harley-Davidson motorcycle appeared out of thin air, and this fairy-like scene completely shocked the pirates. As the locomotive got started, the roar of the TwinCam88B engine made pirates who had never seen such advanced machinery cry as demons.
As the gasoline burned, green smoke continued to float out from the exhaust pipe at the rear of the car, Gu Beijing sat steadily on the whistling motorcycle, knocked a pirate who couldn't dodge, and flew away, leaving only a group of pirates stunned in place.
"It's ...... What is this? Will there still be smoke behind the butt? Pegasus? We're not going to offend the immortals, are we? ”
"What immortals, don't talk nonsense." The pirate leader was also a little incoherent, and pretended to be calm: "Don't talk nonsense, hurry up and look for it, and see if there is anyone alive here." Prince Zheng is still waiting for a reply. ”
Before he could finish speaking, a middle-aged man with a bleeding wound staggered to the pirates. "I am Fang Dahong, the master of the Hongshun Hall of the Heaven and Earth Society, I am bothering you heroes to take me to see Prince Zheng quickly, I have something important to do." The weakness of his voice, the ethereal nature of his voice, all tell how he was treated, and it was really sad and tearful for those who heard it.
The pirate leader shouted a few words at the pirates in a local dialect that Fang Dahong didn't understand at all, and saw two dark-skinned men who could tell at a glance that they were the natives of Nanyang reluctantly walked up.
"These damn natives are just lazy, they don't do anything on weekdays, and they are more active than anyone else when it comes to getting rich. Lo and behold, asking them to help carry someone started to get dissatisfied. ”
"I really don't know why the prince wants to recruit such a guy in, sooner or later, this Ming atmosphere will make these damn stupid pigs bad."
"Alright, don't say it." The pirate leader glanced at a few grumbling pirates and said, "Is it easy for the prince to tell us to be careful and work hard for several years?" Haven't we died enough in the past few years? Don't want to get a little bit of people to do the filling, can we have the current scale? Hurry up and pack up, and immediately go find a few valuable ones, so that the brothers can also open the meat and get some surplus food. Lao Tzu's family is not rich. ”
Gu Beijing drove the locomotive, speeding all the way, and the whistling wind kept ringing in his ears, which made him sigh, sure enough, only the locomotive is a man's romance. The only thing that made him unhappy was the condition of the roads in the city.
Well, of course, there are no asphalt roads, cement roads, etc., and there are very few stone roads. Most of the roads in the city are the most primitive dirt roads. That's right, it's the kind of dirt road that Lu Xun said will become a road if you walk too much.
This kind of road is undoubtedly very scary, not to mention a speeding locomotive, even a galloping horse running on this kind of dirt road will bring a lot of smoke and dust, causing great inconvenience to passing pedestrians.
This point is not mentioned for the time being, whether it has caused great inconvenience to pedestrians Gu Beijing does not know, but this broken road can already be determined to have caused him great inconvenience.
Although it was not a rainy day, and there was not a lot of rain to turn the roads in the city into a quagmire, the bad road conditions with potholes made Gu Beijing not dare to increase his speed at all.
Because of playing with the motorcycle, the brake could not be braked in the end, resulting in the whole person being directly thrown out and causing a neck fracture, and finally the whole person hung up.
Gu Beijing didn't want to let himself use his life to write a negative textbook that was not very glorious.
"Why, how are there pirates everywhere?" Gu Beijing was a little speechless, he drove the locomotive for almost half an hour, and easily knocked down a few Qing pirates who were in the way, only to find that the city of Guangzhou had been in chaos, a large number of pirates did not know where to pour into the city, and the Qing soldiers were like defeated roosters, most of them were only thinking about how to escape. The small number of those who organized the defense could only hold back for a while, and after the officers were killed in battle, they collapsed equally quickly.
Some of the Qing soldiers simply took off their clothes and joined the pirates directly, further exacerbating the chaos in the city.
This kind of déjà vu scene, no matter how Gu Beijing looks at it, feels familiar. It wasn't until later that he figured out that Nima was not like an outbreak of zombies. The only difference is that the zombies are replaced by pirates.
As the area that the Qing soldiers could control became less and less, Gu Beijing knew that what he should think about now was not how to kill the enemy. It's how to hide.
Or rather, how to escape.
PS: The dirt road is correct, I will tell you that until the Guangxu period, the composition of many roads in the capital division of my Qing Dynasty is still a dirt road, and the stone road is really unworthy. As for the people defecating in the open or something, it is even more strange. If you are interested, you can check this information yourself.
