Chapter 54: The Duel Between Cold and Hot Weapons

As night falls,

The forest is filled with white mist,

At some point, the neighing of horses came from a distance, and then a caravan of more than twenty people came into view.

Two men who looked like escorts rode horses at the front of the caravan with rifles on their backs.

"Old Ma, do you say you can rush to Kaiyang County tonight?"

"I think it's a little hanging, this ghost forest suddenly got foggy, and it will take some time to get out."

"If you can't get there, you'll be in trouble! I can only sleep in a tent, and I can't take a shower if I want to. Huh! By the way, why do you say this forest is called the Ghost Forest? ”

"Lao Zhang, you are asking the right person, I really know about this."

"Oh? Tell me about it. ”

"I used to hear from the locals that more than 100 years ago, a woodcutter came to this forest to cut wood and disappeared, and he didn't come home for several days..."

"Didn't his family come looking for him?"

"Why didn't you look for it! His family came to look for him that night, but unfortunately they couldn't find it. His wife was worried that something would happen to him, so she asked more than 40 people in the village the next day to help find him, and guess what happened."

"Found it?"

"Hmmβ€”β€”! They found a dried corpse somewhere in the woods. It is said that there is not a drop of blood left, and that looks... Tskβ€”β€”! It's miserable! ”

The old horse groaned and shook his head.

"Turned into a dry corpse? Is it a zombie? ”

"In the beginning! They also thought it was a blood-sucking zombie, so they found a demon slayer to get rid of this harmful zombie.

As a result, I didn't expect that the vampire zombie was from the ghost guy's side, the zombie varieties are different, and the demon slayer Taoist brought a lot of yellow talismans against zombies to no avail.

I heard that in the end, it was the Dao Master who sacrificed himself to seal it somewhere in this forest. ”

"It turns out that it's because of this ghost zombie that it's called the ghost forest! More than 100 years have passed, and this ghost zombie should also be dead! ”

"Hehe~ This is not necessarily, I heard that those ghost zombies are very alive! Maybe I'll be able to run out now! ”

"Hey, hey, hey~ Don't you want to scare me! I'm notoriously bold. ”

Lao Zhang's face turned white in the dark, and his legs on the horse's pedal were still a little shaky, if it weren't for the dim light, the old horse could see through his strong pretense and composure at a glance.

"Stopβ€”β€”! Stop first, Steward Chen, Lao Zhang, and Lao Ma come over. ”

The two glanced at each other, and the old horse said with some confusion: "How could Miss let the caravan stop at this time?" Shouldn't you rush to Kaiyang County to rest as planned? ”

"You ask me, who do I ask? Let's go over and see what's going on! ”

Lao Zhang rolled his eyes, pulled the reins and turned around and hurried to the carriage in the middle of the caravan. Seeing him turn around, the old horse could only follow.

The two rode their horses for a while and arrived in front of the carriage, and when they saw that Steward Chen was also on their side, they asked, "Steward Chen, is something wrong?" Why didn't you go as planned? ”

Steward Chen lifted his slippery glasses, shook his head and said, "I don't know what the situation is?" I'll have to ask the young lady to find out. ”

Just when the three of them were confused, the curtain was lifted in the carriage, and several people looked at the young lady who had just called a few people over, and there was a man and a woman sitting in addition to the young lady. The female ones they know are the young lady's classmates, and the male ones are... Well, it looks like a little white face.

Logically speaking, strangers should not be allowed to stay in the convoy, but unfortunately they can't do anything under the strong request of the young lady, so they can only let people keep an eye on him and prevent him from passing on the news, in case it is the robber's internal response.

"There's a gang of bandits lying in ambush not far ahead, intending to attack the caravan, you take someone to clean them up."

The woman with short hair in a shawl stuck her head out of the carriage and looked at the few people and commanded.

Several people were shocked when they heard this, and then felt that something was wrong, Miss Jiaxin had been in the carriage all the time, how did she know that there were bandits in front of her in ambush?

Steward Chen asked with a puzzled face, "Miss, how do you know that someone is in ambush ahead?" ”

"That's right!" Γ—2

"You don't care how I know, you go and kill these bandits first."

After speaking, Jiaxin retracted her head and lowered the curtain, leaving a few people to look at each other.

Lao Ma: "Ah, what should I do?" ”

Lao Zhang: "Take the gun team and take a look!" What else can I do. ”

Steward Chen: "Go ahead, be careful!" ”

Several people were afraid of shouting too loudly for the thieves to hear, so they could only call one by one.

After a while, a team of ten guns was assembled, led by three people.

Steward Chen holds a Mauser C96, Mauser M1896 by using 7.63mm bullets, can load 10 rounds.

This is also the prototype of the common pistol box gun during the anti-Japanese period, and the box gun is modeled after this pistol.

Except for Steward Chen, who was holding a pistol, the rest of the people were holding Mauser Type 98 rifles, which were also known as 98K, using 7.92mm bullets, with a capacity of 5 rounds and a magazine load.

"Be on guard, come with me to suppress the bandits." After Steward Chen finished speaking, he waved his hand and motioned for everyone to follow.

A group of more than ten people looked cautiously ahead with guns in both hands, for fear of being ambushed.

Sure enough, when everyone walked more than 100 meters, they found a group of twenty or thirty bandits ambushed at a high point.

If the caravan had pushed down the logs or stones they had prepared as they passed underneath, the caravan would have been killed or wounded by even a dozen or so guns.

Thinking of this, Steward Chen was frightened into a big sweat on his forehead, and quickly wiped it with his sleeve, turned around and whispered: "Seeing that the bandits in front of you are not, aim at them for me, and I will shoot first, and then you will shoot as soon as you hear the gunshots, to ensure that the number of the other party is reduced to a minimum at the first time, do you hear?" ”

"I heard you!"

"Good!"

Bang!

Bang bang bangβ€”β€”!

Ah~ahβ€”β€”!

"Ahh How did they find out about us, ahβ€”β€”! Help me! ”

The first salvo reduced the opponent's personnel by a third, and they were in a very tricky position, and the effective range of their bows and arrows could not be used to shoot them, while they could easily hit the mountain thieves.

Yes, all of a sudden, the gunshots continued and the screams were repeated! This one-sided situation is basically a massacre. The duel between cold weapons and hot weapons, the results are obvious.

……

Inside the carriage,

After hearing the continuous gunshots, Jiaxin knew that there were indeed bandits in ambush not far ahead, and looked at Bai Yun with curiosity on his face and asked, "How did you know that there were bandits in front?" ”

"You don't care how I know, you just say it's enough to pay your fare?"

Bai Yun closed his eyes and sat quietly, saying without joy or sadness on his face.

As for Siqi, she looked at Bai Yun in front of her curiously and didn't speak, after all, this carriage was not hers.

Seeing that Bai Yun refused to speak, Jia Xin said with a smile: "Of course that's not enough, I said before that I would catch a ghost for me, unless you tell me how you know." ”

"If it's not enough, forget it."

Seeing that he refused to say, Jiaxin couldn't do anything about him.

"You're ......! If you don't say it, forget it. ”

……

After a while, Steward Chen returned to the carriage: "Miss, the bandits have all been exterminated." ”

"Well, got it! Tonight. Set up camp here! Send someone tomorrow morning to find out if there are any traps on the road, so as to save the trap and destroy the jade. ”

"Yes! I'll let you know...! ”

…………

In the darkness, the corpses of the bandits were all over the field where they had just died, and the blood slowly gathered together and slowly seeped into the ground.
