The soldiers of the garrison were all wearing military uniforms, but the people in Tangcheng and Chongqing Station were all dressed as ordinary people. No one was wearing the iconic Chinese tunic suit of Chongqing Station, and no one showed their weapons. This gave everyone in the cavalry team an illusion. Here It's the people in the garrison who make the decision. Seeing that Platoon Leader Zhu refused the oceans he handed out, the short fat man thought that Platoon Leader Zhu was too little, so he took out two small yellow croaker gold bars and stuffed them into Platoon Leader Zhu's hands with a smile.
Tang Cheng ignored the pull between Platoon Leader Zhu and the short fat man, but carefully looked at the people in the cavalry and caravans who were protecting their pack horses. Few of the people in the caravan were good people. Seeing Tang Cheng looking at the package and them on the horse, the braided woman that Tang Cheng saw in the telescope had already got off the horse. When Tang Cheng looked at the package, the braided woman also stared at it. To Tangcheng.
Compared with the soldiers holding rifles in the garrison, Tang Cheng in casual clothes looks very ordinary at first glance. But if you look closely at Tang Cheng, you can find that Tang Cheng is the tallest here, including the platoon leader of the garrison. Inside, many of the people rushing onto the road were paying attention to Tang Cheng's reaction. Tang Cheng also found that the braided woman was looking at him, but he ignored her. In this situation, not speaking would put more pressure on her.
"Brother, there are 42 pack horses in total, and the oilcloth packages on the horses' backs look quite big. If it's all smoke and dust, the number is not small." Heizi, who was counting the pack horses, returned to Tang Cheng. While whispering to Tang Cheng, a pair of His eyes did not forget to be wary of the tough men in the cavalry. The size of the 42-horse team was not small. Tang Cheng narrowed his eyes and secretly made a gesture with his right hand behind his back.
Tang Cheng's gesture was clearly seen by the search team standing behind him, and someone immediately went to bite the ear of Platoon Leader Zhu of the garrison. "Take them all away. Anyone who dares to move will be shot to death." Platoon Commander Zhu pushed away the short fat man who was trying to give him the money. His face changed greatly, and he pulled out the pistol from the holster on his waist. He fired two shots into the sky above his head, and his platoon of soldiers also pulled the bolts of their guns, ready to fire at any time.
"Don't move. If you move, I will kill you." The short fat man who was pushed away by Platoon Commander Zhu wanted to come forward to lobby, but he was directly pushed to the ground by Platoon Commander Zhu's soldiers and was hit on the forehead. On a gun barrel. The number of people on Tangcheng's side was about the same as that of the other side, but they had the upper hand after all. The people from the caravan had no time to capture the guy before they were already hit by the people from the garrison with their guns.
The braided woman was also pointed at by a rifle, but she said nothing. She just glanced at Tang Cheng and then allowed the soldiers of the garrison to step forward and take off the rifle from the holster. In a situation where the number of people was equal and being pointed at a gun, the caravan had lost the chance to fight back. Seeing that the braided woman did not resist, the others had to suppress the anger in their hearts and watched helplessly as the soldiers of the garrison came forward. Took away their weapons.
"Take them all away!" Platoon leader Zhu of the garrison seemed not to have expected that things would go so smoothly. After his soldiers collected all the weapons of the caravan, he quietly looked at Tang Cheng, then waved his hand and ordered his men The soldiers took everyone in the caravan to a labor camp outside the city. The people in the caravan did not resist at first, but when they saw soldiers from the garrison coming with rifles to drive them away from the pack horses, some people started to resist with shouts.
The caravans carrying guns and traveling around in search of a living cannot naturally be kind people. Seeing these soldiers coming to drive them and the pack horses, it is obviously for the smoke and soil transported on horseback. If they lose this batch of tobacco, they will have to compensate the owner of the goods for the loss, so no matter what, people like the horse gang cannot just watch the tobacco being taken away by me. The conflict is about to break out.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!" Three gunshots rang out in succession on the noisy avenue. It was still Platoon Commander Zhu who fired, but the person who ordered the shooting was the cold-faced Tang Cheng. From the moment he rushed onto the road, Tang Cheng remained silent. He did not want to stay out of the incident, but wanted to see clearly the performance and abilities of the newbies in the search team. Seeing that the conflict was about to break out, Tang Cheng finally could no longer remain a bystander and immediately signaled Platoon Commander Zhu to fire a warning shot.
"I will count to three. After three counts, if there is still someone who disobeys the order, I will make him die here." Tang Cheng, who had unbuttoned his shirt, pulled out a pistol from the holster under his arm and raised it high. He took off his left hand, amidst the ignored gazes and shouts of the caravan. Following Heizi's clear counting sound, Tang Cheng, with a firm expression, looked around at the people in front of him while bending the first finger, and then the second.
Seeing that the third finger of Tang Cheng's left hand was about to bend, the pistol in Tang Cheng's right hand was slowly leveled. The first person whom Tang Cheng pointed his pistol at was the pockmarked man who made the loudest noise in the caravan. From the moment he took out his pistol and raised his left hand high, Tang Cheng did not say a word, and there was no expression on his face. However, such an indifferent expression made everyone in the caravan secretly feel their hearts beat wildly.
The pock-marked man who was pointed at by Tang Cheng with a pistol felt panic for no reason. Seeing Tang Cheng's raised left hand about to bend the third finger, the pock-marked man was extremely flustered and his eyelids were twitching. He finally couldn't hold on. , then quickly moved to the roadside with his head lowered. With the first example of submission, the rest of the matter would be easier to handle. All the members of the caravan who were pointed at by Tang Cheng with a cold face chose to give up their futile resistance.
The last person who was pointed at by Tang Cheng with a pistol was the braided woman. As she got closer, Tang Cheng realized that the braided woman did indeed look young, but being young and beautiful did not mean that she had the advantage of making Tang Cheng look at her differently. "You are a woman. I will not bully you. I know you are not convinced. I will give you two choices now." The braided woman who was pointed at by Tang Cheng with a pistol was very unconvinced. She deliberately stood there and wanted to She knew whether the young man who pointed the pistol at her had the courage to shoot, but she didn't expect that Tang Cheng didn't care about her youth and beauty.
"The first option is that you and your people follow along obediently, and if everyone cooperates a little bit, it will be easier. The second option is that you continue to stand where you are, but I can give you a chance to challenge me. If If you beat me, I will not only let your cavalry team go, but also I will help you when you go in and out of Chongqing in the future without violating my principles. But if you challenge me and lose, I will not only confiscate your transportation this time. This batch of smoke and soil, and your caravan, will continue to serve me from now on."
When Tang Cheng said these words, everyone in the caravan, including the braided woman, began to yell and curse almost simultaneously, mixed with the Yunnan dialect, but it failed to make Tang Cheng's expression change at all. "In other words, if you lose the challenge, you can only do things for me in the future. I hire you to do things and pay you salaries, but only I have the final say on the types of goods you transport in the future. Do you understand? "When Tang Cheng said the last rhetorical question, he deliberately raised his eyebrows, deliberately irritating the braided woman.
"I want to compete with you in marksmanship!" He originally thought that the braided woman wouldn't accept the challenge, but Tang Cheng didn't expect that just after he finished speaking, the braided woman with an angry look in her eyes couldn't wait to challenge, and she still had to challenge herself. Compare marksmanship. Hearing that the other party was going to test his marksmanship with him, Tang Cheng couldn't help but squint his eyes and laugh. Heizi standing next to him grinned even more, because among everyone present, only Heizi knew how well Tang Cheng's marksmanship was. .
Seeing Tang Cheng and Heizi laughing out loud one after another, the braided woman, who was stimulated by the anger in her heart and lost her composure, knew that the situation was not good, but the words had already been spoken, and it was too late to change them at this moment. She could only bite the bullet and wait for Tang Cheng's reply. "You are a woman, so I won't bully you! You first watch me fight once, and if you can do it the same way I did, I will count you as the winner!" Tang Cheng deliberately provoked the other party, but it was just a temporary idea in his heart. He didn't want to use this to humiliate the other party.
After being whispered by Tang Cheng, Heizi immediately led several members of the search team and quickly planted a few rows of wooden sticks and branches in the field by the roadside to serve as targets. Tang Cheng also borrowed Platoon Commander Zhu's shell gun and connected the wooden gun box to the bottom of the gun handle. Tang Cheng then connected the shell gun to a homemade three-point gun belt and hung it in front of him. The m1911 pistol that was used to threaten the caravan just now was also fixed in the quick-draw holster on his waist. The seemingly relaxed Tang Cheng was ready to shoot at any time.
Including those in the garrison, no one present had ever seen the shooting preparation of hanging a weapon on the chest with a three-point gun belt. So when Tang Cheng stood on the roadside with his feet spread apart, seemingly relaxed, everyone, including the braided woman, looked at Tang Cheng without blinking. "Start!" Heizi shouted with his right arm raised high. Tang Cheng, who had been standing on the roadside with his eyes closed, suddenly opened his eyes, and his straight body instantly bent over and held his chest.
As Tang Cheng moved his left foot forward slightly, the shell gun hanging on the three-point gun belt on his chest was already lifted flat by Tang Cheng. "Pah! Pah! Pah..." Tang Cheng raised the rifle connected to the wooden gun case, and crisp and rapid gunshots rang out continuously. Before anyone could react, the 10 bullets in the magazine were fired. Tangcheng beat them all out in an instant. Tang Cheng's shooting speed was very fast, and his shooting method with his chest slumped and his head pressed to his cheek was something that no one present had ever seen before. Before any of them could react, the shell gun in Tang Cheng's hand had used up all the bullets, and the empty gun hung up.
