Chapter 14: Ambush

"Sir, I'm familiar with this, I'll lead the way."

Anna quickened her pace and walked in front of Lawrence, ready to follow the fastest path out of the West Side.

But Lawrence shook his head lightly and said:

"No, let's go to the clearing in the southwest corner."

"The clearing? But it was a dead end, and there was no way out there. ”

Anna looked at Lawrence in bewilderment, only to see Lawrence nodding firmly and stubbornly. Out of trust in Lawrence, Anna gritted her teeth and led Lawrence to the southwest clearing.

The two of them ran away for a while, and finally came to the open space in the southwest corner. It was an open area cut out of the dense jungle, with only one road back and forth, surrounded by weeds and shrubs half a meter high.

"Sir, there's no road over here." Anna said worriedly.

And just as Anna's words were not finished, she heard a burst of arrogant laughter suddenly sounded around her:

"Hahaha, this little is right! Lawrence Bonaparte! ”

I saw more than a dozen shirtless sturdy men chasing after the road behind, all with broad-bladed machetes tied around their waists, and green tattoos on their arms.

The tattoo is of a hideous-looking sea serpent wrapped around two scimitars. Anna knows that this is the symbol of the Sea Serpents, who are known for their ferocity and brutality on the docks.

The leader was the most robust, with chilling tendons and flesh all over his body, and the fly in the ointment was the black blindfold on his left eye, which was a disability left by the early years of fire with others, and it was he who laughed.

Anna's pupils shrank, and she took a step back in some fear, grabbed Lawrence's arm and said:

"Sir, this is a member of the Sea Serpent Gang, and the leader is their leader, and we all call him One-Eyed."

Lawrence looked at the other party calmly: "People are like their names, but they are a good name." ”

One-eye pulled out the machete at his waist, played with the knife flower in his hand, and shouted in a hoarse voice:

"Oh? Captain Bonaparte also wanted a name like this? I'll get it for you, do you want to become a one-legged? Or one-armed? Or..."

As he spoke, he stared at Lawrence's crotch with one eye, and laughed twice: "Or do you want to become an old man with leftovers?" Hahahaha"

"Boss, what nonsense to talk about with him, just cut it into a stick and throw it into the sea." One of his men came up and said with a lewd smile:

"But the little girl next to her looks good..."

One-eyed stared at Anna, licked his tongue, and said with a lewd smile: "Damn, don't you say that I haven't found out yet." The old rule, I'll come first when the time comes. ”

Anna cowered behind Lawrence in fear, her body trembling slightly.

Lawrence held Anna's trembling hand in his left hand and pulled out the pistol from his waist with his right hand.

"Hmph, I have more than a dozen brothers here, what can you do with that little broken gun." One-eyed watched with disdain as Lawrence drew his gun without a hint of nervousness.

"I killed all your people that day?" Lawrence asked suddenly.

"No, they belong to different gangs, but Lao Tzu's brother is one of them."

Speaking of the prisoner who was shot by Lawrence, One-Eye retracted his sinister smile and his eyes became cold.

Lawrence frowned slightly, and said to himself:

"It seems that after solving these people today, it will take a while."

One-eyed chuckled, pointed at his men, and shouted arrogantly:

"Solve Lao Tzu? Lawrence Bonaparte! You open your eyes and see how there are me! ”

"yes, you also open your eyes and see how many of them I have."

As soon as the words fell, I saw Lawrence with the muzzle of the gun pointed in the air and pulled the trigger.

With the sound of gunshots, the jungle, which had been silent just a moment ago, suddenly began to hear the sound of Suosuo. Twenty figures then leapt out of the woods and stood behind Lawrence.

One-eye's pupils shrank, and the twenty men, all dressed in patrol uniforms and holding smoothbore guns in their hands, were aiming at One-Eye's group, waiting for the order to fire.

"Monsieur Bonaparte, it has been prepared as you commanded in the morning." Shaun Sr. walked over to Lawrence and saluted.

Lawrence glanced at the patrolmen and said with a little dissatisfaction, "How are there only twenty people?" ”

"That's all the muskets in the team." Old Sean smiled bitterly.

And the one-eyed on the other side also made a quick decision, and immediately shouted:

"Fuck, there's an ambush, run!"

One-Eye understands that although the number of the two sides is almost the same, and even the fighting quality of the One-Eyed group is much higher than that of these patrolmen, in such a skirmish, hot weapons against cold weapons is a one-sided slaughter.

Lawrence also immediately snorted:

"All of you are free to fire, life or death!"

A puff of white smoke rose from the ground, accompanied by the explosion of gunpowder and the screams of the enemy. These 19mm smoothbore guns can easily make a small hole in the human body at such a close distance.

One-eyed was worthy of fighting from the sea of corpses and blood, and it only took a few seconds to fly out more than ten meters, but he was still hit by a stray bullet in the calf and fell to the ground in a wail.

Looking at the remaining four or five enemies who had survived the first round of shooting, Lawrence showed no mercy and continued to order:

"All of them are bayonets, chase after them, and not let one go!"

The patrolmen attached their bayonets to the barrels of their guns in a somewhat rustic manner, after all, they had not used them for many years, and then hurried after them.

Lawrence, along with Anna and Shaun Sr., walked unhurriedly to the injured one-eyed.

Old Sean looked at the muscular hunk lying on the ground and screaming, couldn't help but take a few steps back in fear, spat and said:

"It's really one-eyed, this person is also famous in Ajaccio, notoriously brutal."

After that, old Sean didn't forget to pat himself on the back and said, "Of course you are not as famous as Lord Bonaparte." ”

Ignoring old Sean's flattering remarks, Lawrence took two steps forward and looked at One-Eye's injury.

He had two gunshot wounds to his right leg, which were still bleeding outward.

Fortunately, the one-eyed body is strong, and the bullet did not penetrate, so the amount of bleeding is not large, and if it is treated in time, it will not be life-threatening.

"What does he do to make money?" Lawrence asked Shaun Sr. suddenly.

"He? Smuggling slaves, kidnapping for ransom, killing people and setting fires, doing everything. Old Sean replied, glancing at One-Eye.

The originally desperate one-eyed heard Lawrence's words, and a gleam suddenly flashed in his eyes, and he hurriedly spoke:

"You want money? I have, I have many. ”

Lawrence pulled out the short knife, crouched down, put the knife on One-Eye's neck, and asked, "Where?" ”

"In... In my gang's warehouse, I can lead you there. Even a tough guy like One-Eyed, after being held to the neck with a knife, couldn't help but start to tremble.

"Hmph"

Lawrence snorted coldly, and slapped his left hand One-Eye's face:

"Are you a fool for me? Who knows how many of your people there are. ”

One-Eyed only brought a dozen elites to chase Lawrence this time, but the entire gang is estimated to have hundreds of people, and if you really want to fight with Lawrence's twenty patrolmen, it is difficult to say whether the winner will be lost.

"People like you have a gold cave, I want that."

Lawrence made a cold request, and at the same time pressed the short knife harder, stabbing a shallow blood mark on One-Eye's neck.

"You!!" One-eyed glared angrily, for everyone like him who licked blood with the tip of a knife, this private vault was their last hole card. When they can't lift a knife, they live on this money.

Lawrence didn't speak, and continued to increase the strength in his hand, the blade had already sunk into the skin half a centimeter, and a trickle of blood began to flow from under the blade.

One-Eye could no longer endure this torment, and shouted at the top of his voice:

"Okay, okay! I'll give you money, you spare my life! ”

"Yes." Lawrence nodded in agreement, loosening the knife in his hand a little.

One-eyed took a deep breath, this is the wealth he has saved over the years, but he didn't expect it to be all planted today:

"In the southern part of the city, on Independence Street, an abandoned gray hut. Inside, there is a hollow section of the floor, and there is a chest underneath. ”

"How many?" Lawrence asked.

"Almost two thousand gold."

"Two thousand gold?!"

Old Sean on the side couldn't help but take a breath, this is just a secret property, and the real estate and cash on the surface add up, it is estimated that there are several times more than this.

Lawrence nodded, inserting the knife back into his waist as he motioned for Anna to memorize the address.

At this time, the patrol who had just gone to pursue also escorted the fleeing gang back. Lawrence glanced at them, and except for a few with a few abrasions, the rest were unharmed and did not appear to be facing severe resistance.

"The corpses were left here to feed the wolves, and all the living ones were tied up and taken back to the dungeon." Lawrence ordered loudly while kicking One-Eye on the ground with his foot, adding:

"It's the same with this one."

"Wait! You just said you're going to spare me! One-eyed widened his eyes and clutched his bleeding neck and whispered.

"Don't bark here." Lawrence kicked one-eyed in the lower abdomen mercilessly:

"I only said to spare your life, but I didn't say I would let you go."

"You!!"

One-eyed couldn't help but be furious when he heard it, and coupled with the excessive blood loss, he passed out directly.
