Chapter 748 Suppression of Bandits (12, Victory Collects Troops, Asks for Votes)
"Bang", a loud and slightly dull voice suddenly sounded.
Lorraine fired a shot at the bandits surrounding him at close range.
In an instant, blood burst out.
When the gunshots rang out, the water thieves were unprepared, startled by this ominous sound, and immediately reflexively shrank their necks. This is the instinctive reaction of human beings in the face of unknown dangers, shrinking their targets and hiding vital parts.
It's just a blink of an eye.
The sound of the guns was the signal, and the Janissaries, who had been prepared for a long time, immediately took action as soon as the shots rang out.
At the moment when the water thieves were stunned, the guards who had been prepared for a long time had already pulled out their knives and stabbed the water thieves around them viciously.
In the blink of an eye, more than thirty water thieves fell, and before they even understood what was going on, they fell to the hands of the Praetorian Guards, and all of them were killed with one sword.
The rest of the thieves looked at the sudden situation around them, and they were still stunned at the fallen bandits, and the guards had already pounced.
All of them are the elite of the army, professional soldiers who have been in the army for several years and more than ten years, and they have been training for many years, and if nothing else, they are killed.
Intensive training in the Semitic military institutions, all of them are killing machines. Ruthless and strong.
Compared with the Praetorian Guards, these half-monk bandits are not even amateur level, and just now the bandits were planning to kill Lorraine, and they were not prepared for this group of troubled broken families to suddenly make a move.
It's like a wolf who is about to fight a rabbit and suddenly sees a rabbit turn into a tiger.
The Praetorian Guards killed people and went straight to the point, the knife did not leave the neck, the heart, and the slashing was clean and neat.
With the cold flash of the knife, more than twenty more water thieves were stabbed to the ground.
At this time, the rest of the water thieves reacted.
Someone trembled, pointed at the people of Lorraine, and shouted, "They...... They're here to rob the village!"
The voice was shrill and harsh, and the facts were right in front of you, but it seemed like you had to scream to be sure.
Crocker's whole body trembled, and he looked down at the knife on his stomach, and then slowly upward, forearm, upper arm, shoulder, along the hand that held the handle of the knife......
The last thing that caught my eye was Jandor's wrinkled, expressionless old face, but his eyes shone with a feverish light.
Crocker felt that the strength of his whole body was leaving him, he gurgled twice in his throat, his eyes were full of disbelief, as if he didn't believe this scene in front of him, and finally slowly raised his blood-stained hand, and said in a trembling voice: "For...... Why, why ......"
Jia En looked at him expressionlessly and said, "Master Crocker, haven't you always said that your old man is righteous and takes good care of his friends?"
Just now, the lord said, take your life, you can exchange my family's peace.
In that case, for the sake of my friend, you should be righteous to the end. Lend me your life. β
One Buddha of Crocker Qi was born, and two Buddhas ascended to heaven. I thought I was shameless enough, but I didn't expect this old guy who usually looks cowardly and incompetent, like an old donkey, to be so ruthless, and his dignified red crocodile leader Crocker is the master of the village, and the terrifying strongman will actually die in the hands of this inconspicuous old man.
Crocker's eyes were shattered for a moment, and he hissed and roared, "You old dog......"
With the last strength of his body, he reached out to strangle Jaindo's throat.
Jaindo looked at him coldly, holding the knife in his hand, and wringed it several times fiercely.
Crocker suddenly felt a great pain coming, and his whole body convulsed all at once. His outstretched hand eventually just touched Jaindo's shoulder, smearing a bright red blood streak, and then the hand slipped limply, leaning and falling to the ground.
In this way, the famous red crocodile on the river in the thirteen serial docks was despicably assassinated by the eagle dog of Jaindo who had surrendered to the imperial court.
(Later, after Uncle Jia Endo, the head of the Semitic Intelligence Station, got money, he invited a lot of gunmen to write memoirs such as "Golden Knife Jia Endo", "Yellow Eyebrow Hero Jia" and so on, to brush up a lot of reputation for himself.) Speaking of which, I also slapped the table, but I followed the adults faithfully for the first time, and made countless achievements, believe it or not, these are all written in the book. ...... οΌ
When the village was suddenly attacked, all these leaders died at the first time, it was not that they didn't want to run, and they couldn't run at all.
This is not a deliberate arrangement by Lorraine, after all, Lorraine himself does not know who is in charge of these ruffians and who is the boss of the Red Crocodile. And in order to avoid arousing suspicion, it is impossible for him to give so many orders, and there is no time for him to give so many orders.
Mainly because the gold and silver treasures in their hands were wielded, and those who were in charge were like red crocodiles, greedy for money, and when they heard that someone had brought a large number of treasures to them, they rushed ahead of others and greeted them out as soon as possible.
They all have the same plan, this money has a share, but it can't be swallowed by that guy from Crocker.
In order to eat more and occupy more, several money-hungry puppies also recruited two Praetorian Guard soldiers at one time to facilitate their own wealth and death. This was naturally taken care of by the Praetorian Guards, and was pierced by two knives at the same time.
Lorraine also wields a pistol, picking out the gorgeous bandits and the fat guys. According to the experience of the previous life, like this kind of person who likes to show off his wealth, looks like a rich state, under normal circumstances, he must be a boss or something. There's nothing wrong with slaughtering.
The gunshots rang out like beads.
The rest of the water thieves were gone, and they immediately became a mess. Some people shouted, drew knives to resist, and these people naturally became the focus of the Praetorian Guard's care.
There were also people who yelled, and fled quickly with the package in their hands, and some people shouted for help, gathering everyone in the village......
Although the Praetorian Guards who came in were not large, only thirty or forty people, so Crocker decided to deal with them immediately.
But all of them are the elite of the elite, proficient in combat skills, killing people, and all of them are experts.
In just a short period of time, the water thieves who resisted on the scene had all been killed by them.
The executioners carried knives, let the blood drip down the blades, and did not care to wipe the blood from their faces, and under the orders of Lorraine, the soldiers divided into two routes, all the way to guard the gate tightly. to meet the large forces behind.
Lorraine's gunfire not only informed his followers to do so, but also to the Praetorian Guard brigade ambushed at the foot of the hill to attack, which should have been almost in front of the gate.
He personally led another line of Praetorian Guards, chasing after the fleeing water thieves, and covering the past in the village.
Originally, when the army was at a disadvantage, and it was still dark, in a completely unfamiliar environment, so to do so was to seek death.
But Lorraine knew that it was precisely because of the disadvantage, and by taking advantage of the darkness, that they could fish in the soul water, so that they could not figure out their own reality and rush
And to cover up the past, to chase after their butts, to completely break up their people, can also prevent them from regrouping and fighting back against themselves.
After they dispersed, the team behind them came up, and the Red Crocodile Village was even destroyed by Lian Guo.
They chased and killed all the way to the village.
The water thieves who fought ran in all directions, running everywhere, and those who dared to appear in front of them were chopped upside down, but they didn't pay attention to those who fled to both sides, and the bandits naturally knew where to run.
And the funny thing is that many people, out of instinct, flee back to their homes and then close the door tightly. It's as if this way you can get away with it.
But as long as they didn't gather, Lorraine didn't care about them, and went straight to the largest and most luxurious house in the wall.
His main task is to recover the two priceless bloody horses and the goods they have stolen.
As for the rest, all of them were secondary, and Lorraine was not interested in the bounty for killing a few robbers.
Lorraine came to the front of the room and kicked the door open. The guards shouted and rushed in from either side of him. Then take a knife and search down. Once they encountered resistance, they immediately ignored it, and were hacked to death with a knife, leaving them no chance to surrender.
Lorraine didn't care about their actions, but stood in front of the hall and looked towards the gate.
I saw that the soldiers and horses of the brigade had rushed in at this time. In the first place, a tall and heavy figure, every step was shaken. But Rao was still running fast, like a heavy tank on a rampage.
In order to grab more money and things, Bai has always been brave and valuable, and bravely rushed to the front.
In front of it, no one dared to stop its edge, and the Praetorian Guards followed Bai and followed the road it had come out of into the camp.
Seeing them, Lorraine's heart was relieved. This time, even if everyone in the village is possessed by the Sword Saint one by one, no matter how much they resist, they will not have the power to return to the sky.
At this time, a guard came to his side and whispered, "My lord, I found it." The two horses were found. Congratulations, you've done a great job. β
There was irrepressible excitement and joy in that voice.
Lorraine glanced at him, and saw that the guard's mouth was already a little happy, and the guards next to him were also beaming, and he couldn't help but sigh: these puppies are quite simple and have no big ideals and ambitions. Just two horses have been happy like this.
He stomped his foot and scolded, "Look at your little bit of work." It's just to do those things that pick sesame seeds and throw watermelons. No matter how good those two horses are, they have to be handed over when they turn back, and they will be replaced with the first two good words that are not painful. Not a penny will fall. If you want to be promoted, we will also lead the promotion, and we have a fart relationship. Seek our goods quickly, and find the treasures in the thieves' dens. That's the real thing. β
The man couldn't help but pause, and then praised sincerely: "My lord, it is really far-sighted, and his eyes are like torches......
Lorraine said: "Okay, okay, don't be a sycophant, go and find it." By the way, take those two horses out and let the big guys see them too. β
The guard immediately gave him a strange look, and said secretly in his heart: This boss is still just a mortal after all, what he said just now is beautiful, and in the end, don't you want to see it?
He agreed, and hurriedly turned to leave.
After a few breaths, I heard a neighing of a horse from behind, and the neighing sound was as powerful as a tiger's roar.
All the guards present couldn't help but be shocked. They are all horse lovers, and they are all masters of goods, BMW beauties, no matter where they are, they are the two biggest hobbies of men.
They only have to put their ears to hear it, and they will know whether the horse is good or bad. Such a roaring war horse is definitely not far from anywhere.
Immediately afterwards, I saw two horses being forcibly pulled out from behind. The horse's temper was evidently fierce, and he struggled incessantly while being pulled, and from time to time he would drag the puller a few steps.
If it were in normal times, a horse like this would have been whipped up a long time ago, but once this horse was too good, everyone was reluctant to start. Second, there was an order from the Admiral: not to let the horse lose a single hair.
If the Admiral knew that he had mistreated his treasure, the old man would not have to go mad, everyone knew that the Admiral of the Praetorian Guard was a notoriously horse idiot.
Therefore, even though the horse kept jumping and stepping, the people were still reluctant to move a finger.
Lorraine squinted her eyes and looked carefully, and couldn't help blurting out: "Sure enough, it's a good horse!"
I saw that the two horses were all pure colors, one black and one white, with sharp contrasts, and there was no miscellaneous hair on the whole body, and the color of the hair was like an oil brush, and under the light of the torches, a layer of oily light was reflected, like brocade.
From head to tail, there is a foot full, more than eight feet high, the head is like a rabbit, the eyes are like copper ling, the tail is light, the chest is broad, and the limbs are slender. The mouth of the hooves is as big as the mouth of the bowl, stepping on the ground, the crisp sound of stepping on the ground, and the spirit is not bad.
Everyone couldn't help but exclaim: this horse is really a unique horse!
Not to mention riding and running for a while, just the light already makes people feel fortunate and honored.
The Admiral's granddaughter not only spent all her dividends and savings for the sake of these two horses, but also received a large amount of sponsorship from the Admiral himself. (But in general.) That sister seems to have something to earn. At the same time, it also fully shows that after Admiral Hawkes became an official, he definitely did not miss a profit. οΌ
While they were admiring, they heard the shouts of 'whooping' beside them, and rushed towards this side.
Uncle Bai is also very knowledgeable, knows the best place to build a house, and has the most money, so he came straight to this after identifying the goal.
The two horses immediately became more and more agitated, and kept struggling and jumping as if they were trying to escape some danger. But then, without knowing why, they suddenly became honest again, standing still in place, bowing their heads, deferentially like two sheep.
Everyone couldn't help but be stunned, and they didn't know what was going on.
Lorraine watched Vera walk up from behind with her hands behind her back and crisp steps, with a happy smile on her face.
Although this girl is only half of the blood of the dragon clan, it is enough to make the lion tiger panic and surrender. Not to mention just two war horses.
At this moment, the white heavy tank, rumbling past them, rushed straight towards the main entrance of the hall.
But then its huge ass was jammed by the jam gate, but it didn't care, and shook its ass vigorously from side to side.
The hall shook immediately, and the dust on the roof was raining down.
The frightened people in the hall didn't dare to stay any longer, and they all hugged their heads and jumped out of the window.
Bai didn't care about it, he took the door frame down with a click, and squeezed it in, Bai looked back at the door frame that was stuck on his body, and threw the door frame aside with a chic flick of his buttocks.
Then he stretched out his nose and sniffed around. No matter how you look at it, it reveals the taste of a professional gold exploration expert.
After a dozen seconds, it found its position and stomped heavily on a hard tile in the middle of the hall, and the hall shook instantly.
At the same time, there is a large hole in the ground. Suddenly there was a dazzling jewel inside. Shiro immediately raised his nose and cheered, and then began to dig things out from the inside one by one.
When you find one, you hold it up in front of your eyes to admire it, and then put it in your back pocket.
Everyone couldn't help but sweat: this white master is really powerful, and he has found the treasure house of these pirates in such a short time!
They couldn't help but look at each other and smiled bitterly, and were about to step forward to help, but then they saw Bai look at everyone vigilantly, and after seeing their smiling eyes, Bai immediately blinked his eyes, very embarrassed, and then slowly let go of the position of the hole. Let the crowd carry things out of the hole.
But at the same time, its eyes widened on the side, scrutinizing the crowd.
At this time, a large army had already driven in, and under the orders of the officers, each went to guard the traffic and occupy the vital points. Then they methodically swept the house by house, mercilessly drove out all the water thieves who were hiding in the house, and if they met resistance, they were immediately hacked to death, and after a few screams that spread throughout the village, all the bandits were honest.
The crowd that was kicked out was like ashes, all of them were unusually silent, all of them were white, and even the occasional cry of a child was immediately covered by the woman next to her. for fear of attracting the attention of these officers and soldiers.
Originally, when they lost the battle and fled back to their homes, these people even hoped that this group of ruffians would be another gang of water thieves.
In this way, it is an internal fire between them. Although those leaders were definitely going to die, their soldiers did not have to worry about their lives. After all, no matter which gang of water thieves wants to grab money, things, and women, they all want their younger brothers to help fight in groups.
But later, when they saw the bright and bright uniforms and neat armor of the Praetorian Guards, they immediately knew that they were in the hands of officers and soldiers, and they were elite troops with great potential.
Those fellows have always been like a stone, and they will not forgive themselves for these thieves.
Lorraine looked at their expressions and couldn't help but soften her heart a little, but then she hardened again. Although these people look pitiful now, they have never been soft when they first killed the cargo ship and killed those seventeen brothers!
Blood for blood, eye for eye. This is the iron law of the world.
"Repay your grievances directly. Lorraine muttered to himself, waved over an officer, and said, "According to the old rules, those who have had blood on their hands before, or who have been on our cargo ships, are all slaughtered and shown to the public."
The rest of the men were sent to the penitential labor camp, fΓΉ women and children ......"
He hesitated, originally intending to leave all these people behind and leave them to fend for themselves. But then I realized that this was really irresponsible. In this way, even if those people will not starve to death, they will be robbed and killed by other bandits.
Therefore, he sighed and said, "The women and children, just like those in the Black Wind Village, leave them some gold and silver, and then hand them over to the magistrate's office. They are responsible for taking care of it. Well, according to their heads, they also gave the local government a resettlement fee, which came out of the spoils of war, although it is unlikely that this money will fall on their heads. β
The officer agreed, then turned to leave.
Lorraine turned his head to look at Jia Endo, who looked apprehensive next to him, and said with a smile: "I said Lao Jia." I didn't expect you old guy to have a dark heart. β
Jia Endo was taken aback, and something immediately jumped out of his heart, such as 'unloading the mill and killing the donkey', 'the cunning rabbit dies, the lackey cooks', etc., and the peerless aphorisms that have been passed down for thousands of years.
His mind heated, and he wanted to reach for the knife in the boot shaft, but then looked at Lorraine's eyes, and gave up again.
Not for anything else, but for his family, for his children, and for his grandchildren. Even if it was a knife and axe, he was willing to exchange his life for his life, and gritted his teeth and endured it.
Jia Endo immediately fell to his knees with a thud, pleading in a trembling voice, and said, "My lord, my lord's kindness......"
Lorraine smiled and said, "Why, don't you have the knife in your boot to face me like that?"
Jia Endo's whole body trembled, sweat penetrated his back at once, and said, "Don't dare, don't dare to ......"
Lorraine immediately laughed, suddenly stopped, and said, "You touch the handle of the knife and try it, see which one of your family is still alive now?"
Jia Enduo fell to the ground for a while and said, "My lord, my lord's grace." People are heart-wrenched for a while, and they are willing to atone for their sins with death, and only ask the adults to spare my family. β
As he spoke, he knelt down and took a few steps back, and then he felt the dagger, and was about to stab him in the chest.
Lorraine's eyes were quick, and he raised his leg and kicked his dagger away, and the huge force from the tip of his foot clearly knew that the old guy was not a fake this time.
Lorraine immediately nodded and said, "Lao Jia, it's a good thing to know the Gu family." If you don't care about your family, I don't need you. β
This makes merit worse than over, and it has always been the magic weapon of officialdom. In case there is a puppy who doesn't have any shortcomings or weaknesses or something, pinch it in his own hand, and maybe he will have to turn over his plate when he turns around.
He paused for a moment, then continued, "I just wanted to say that you old fellow is ruthless, and I like it very much. If you don't have any other plans in the future, just follow my soul. β
Jaindo was overjoyed at once. He crawled on the ground, held Lorraine's shoes with both hands, kissed them respectfully, and said, "Thank you, thank you, ......."
Lorraine looked at the mouthful of saliva on her shoes, a little disgusted, but there was nothing she could do. This was unhygienic, but it was a way for the Semitic people to show their loyalty.
And he is now desperately lacking credible talent at his disposal. I had to endure it. Comforted herself in her heart: When Huang Rong became the leader of the beggar gang, those people vomited her. In comparison, this one is much cleaner.
They immediately took possession of the men's houses, and the whole army rested in the camp for the night.
Early the next morning, in order to avoid being hacked by other legions, he robbed the horses. They only had a group of men and horses left to clean up the aftermath, and the large army set up camp early in the morning, escorted the war horses and the stolen supplies, boarded the ships of the Red Crocodile Gang, and then went upstream, returning to the Thunder Song Plain.
At this time, in the walled city of the Blood Scimitar, the Praetorian Guards were murderously interrogating the Blood Scimitar people, forcing them to question the whereabouts of the sweaty and bloody horses.
But there are a few literate people in this gang of water thieves, they don't even know what a bloody BMW is, and under severe punishment, they can only talk nonsense immediately.
The Praetorian Guard officers looked at the testimony they had received, and they were immediately at a loss. Grandma's, where the hell is this horse? How can some people say that it is in the east, and some people say that it is in the west. Others say southern.
After a discussion, they made a wise decision......
