Chapter 126: Besieged
The other party did not answer, but kept approaching slowly. Wang Wu saw that the enemy was very cunning. The large group of troops only advanced 300 meters away and stopped moving. At this distance, even the best Mini rifle shooters cannot guarantee to hit the enemy.
The sergeant leading the escort said: "They want to fight us. If this happens, we have to finish them."
At this time, there was a commotion and noise coming from the direction of Zhaopu Village, including the cries of women and children, rude scoldings, the screams of captured pigs, and the crowing of chickens and ducks. Apparently the bandits had entered the village.
"It's broken," Liu Bin cried out, "Uncle is still in the village."
Seeing the village in chaos, Wang Wu's heart dropped: Liu Dazhu was probably finished
Wang Wu had been a militia captain and could see the critical situation. He nervously calculated the strength of the work team. They have many guns. Each soldier and staff member has a Minie rifle and three revolvers. But now the only people who can resist with a gun are seven asymptomatic people, and there are five or six people with mild symptoms who can barely handle a robbery. It is impossible to defend against hundreds of people outside with twelve rifles.
"We only have a total of 12 people who can hold guns. We have to send people to the city to ask for help as soon as possible," Wang Wu said.
The sergeant hesitated for a moment: "We sent someone, but there are even fewer people here..."
"If you send people there, there is still a chance of survival. If you try hard here, you will all die."
"Okay, I'll send someone right away."
It was finally decided that the corporal should go out to call for help - he was the oldest soldier besides the sergeant. Wang Wu gave him both his and Liu Bin's revolvers - the rifles could not be reloaded during hand-to-hand combat, and asked him to bring a machete for hand-to-hand combat. However, everyone knows that if there is a hand-to-hand combat, the possibility of the corporal running away is extremely slim.
"Sergeant, you send a person with the best marksmanship to climb up to the watchtower to suppress the enemy and bring a few more rifles and ammunition. Then find someone who is not in serious condition to go up with him and help him load ammunition."
"Okay." The sergeant nodded and continued to issue orders: "Each person prepare a few more rifles, and those who can move will help them load ammunition. Everyone should go to hide under the earth embankment slope, and the tents will be demolished immediately.
Gou Xunli wiped his sweat. The sky was extremely gloomy and he felt very stuffy, as if it was about to rain. His poisoning plan was implemented smoothly. According to the report of the village liaison officer who was bribed by him, the thieves indeed washed the vegetables sold to them by the river, then chopped them up and cooked them in a pot.
He and a few of his cronies stayed in the village until noon. He estimated that everyone inside had been poisoned, and then he informed the gangsters who were on standby more than ten miles away to approach the camp.
At this moment, he was completely sure that the thieves in the camp had tricked him. The liaison officer in the village whom he bribed came to tell him that a leader of the Australians had just arrived in the village and asked the village to send out soldiers to carry people. .
"Okay, you can take these brothers with you. They will be regarded as the best in the village." Gou Xunli narrowed his eyes and glanced at the spy.
There are more than a dozen capable brothers around him, all of whom are dressed in rags and look no different from the local villagers.
The liaison officer trembled and said: "This villain doesn't dare to..."
Several bandits immediately showed ferocious looks, and the liaison officer immediately softened and led the people away obediently.
After a while, Liu Dazhu, who was tied up like a rice dumpling, was pushed and escorted over. He had a cut on his face and his clothes were torn to pieces. It looked like there had been a fierce struggle.
A young bandit with a broken nose handed over the holster: "This is the old boy's Australian handgun."
"Well, without firearms, he is just an ordinary barbarian." Gou Xunli looked up and down for a while at the panting and bleeding prisoner in front of him.
"what is it call?"
"Liu——Dazhu."
"Are you the head of the task force?"
"So what?"
"You are in a hurry to get the stretcher. The people inside have probably been put down, right?" Gou Xunli showed a cruel and proud smile on his face, "Don't waste your efforts. Even if I don't stop you, you can carry it to Danzhou City. All these people must die too."
Liu Dazhu felt the wound on his face throbbing with pain. He didn't really listen to what Gou Xunli said. But he knew that he had fallen into the hands of bandits.
Liu Dazhu, who grew up in Daolu Village and was used to seeing bandits killing people, knew very well what would happen if he fell into the hands of bandits. He still remembered very clearly: In the second year of the Apocalypse, the Dangmen led the bandits and killed more than twenty common people who were said to be the bottom line for the government under the big banyan tree at the entrance of Daolu Village. Blood flowed all over the ground. .
Now he cannot escape death. Thinking of this, Liu Dazhu's calves felt a little soft. He remembered that he had saved a lot of money and originally planned to build a new house and marry a wife after returning from Danzhou. I didn't expect to be told here so quickly.
I really can't bear to die like this. Liu Dazhu has never been so attached to his life.
"Do you want to die?" What kind of character is Gou Xunli? He immediately noticed the change in his expression.
Liu Dazhu answered honestly: "I don't want to."
"Then go and shout to the people in the camp, asking them to come out and surrender." Gou Xunli said, "Those who are willing to do our moneyless business, stay and do it together. If you know how to use Australian firearms, we will never wait for you in the cabinet; if you are not willing to do it, Yes, walk on your own.”
Liu Dazhu thought: This condition is good. But he soon realized that this was just a trick. Unless they were willing to be bandits, surrendering would mean death. Bandits will not be left alive easily.
Surrender and become a bandit? Liu Dazhu thought of the days and nights he spent in the training class and the classes. The Australians erased the darkness that shrouded his heart and instilled an unprecedented way of life and thinking into his mind. He saw his own strength and how much hope he could have in the new society.
In comparison, what does the "attention" in the bandit team count? Even if you can survive in the bandits' den for a while, you will still end up dead - Australians never let go of traitors.
"I don't want to die, but I don't want to be a bastard either. If you want to kill me, then kill me." Liu Dazhu trembled slightly, "I'm not lucky, I won't see the day when the new society succeeds."
Gou Xunli knew that this man was determined, but fortunately he didn't care whether he shouted or not. Anyway, it will be easier to handle once you know that everyone inside is poisoned.
"Pull it down and chop it."
A young bandit kicked Liu Dazhu to the ground and chopped off his head with a knife.
"Hang it on the spear and show it to the people in the camp later," Gou Xunli laughed wildly, "if anyone is still alive."
Knowing that the people in the camp were indeed poisoned, Gou Xunli became bolder. He ordered the gangsters approaching Zhaopu Village to quickly surround the camp.
The large group of gangsters was led by Hu Lanyan himself, including not only the core members, but also many "home bandits", totaling about 200 people.
Seeing the decapitated body of Liu Dazhu and the revolver taken from him, Hulanyan smiled so hard that he couldn't close his mouth.
"Brother, you are really good at bringing down the Kun thieves without any effort. Big brother admires me." Hu Lanyan originally thought that this deal was a bit of a loss, but now he has obtained an Australian short-handed blunderbuss, and he will chop off the heads of all the Kun thieves in the camp. , you can get dozens of genuine Australian bird guns.
"This is what the younger brother should serve." Gou Xunli said with a smile, "This gun is dedicated to the elder brother."
Hu Lanyan smiled so hard that he couldn't even close his mouth. He didn't know how to put on his armed belt, so he simply hung the holster directly on his body, pulled out the Lingao version of the revolver and took a closer look: there was a wheel on the barrel, which could be rotated with his hand, and inside the wheel were hole, you can see that the medicine is packed inside.
This medicine is also different from others. There is something like a small copper plate embedded all over the buttocks. Hu Lan glanced over and over for a long time, but he couldn't figure out what the mystery behind these weird handguns was, so that Australians could use them to roam Hainan. He couldn't figure it out and didn't dare to move. He asked a follower to wrap up the gun holster strap and powder with a piece of silk, and planned to ask a prisoner later.
"Brother, look below -"
"It's up to you to handle this matter to the end." Hu Lanyan was in a good mood and completely delegated his authority.
"Thank you, brother." Gou Xunli then called for all the bandit leaders.
"The roads in this place are not easy to navigate, and it is not easy for them to escape." Gou Xunli pointed at a leader and said, "You will take a dozen brothers to the mountain road first to cut down the wood and block the road."
"Second shopkeeper, it's easy to talk about logging. It's just that the brothers walked dozens of miles and only ate a few cold taro..."
"What are you calling bitter?" Gou Xunli smiled and said, "Isn't this the liaison officer of Zhaopu Village? He specializes in preparing food for the bandits and running errands. Now he also prepares food for our brothers. After we finish beating the Australians, we have to ask him to prepare food. "Fuck a woman"
The leaders cheered loudly. The liaison officer's face was pale. He became the bandit's internal agent because he was greedy for money and listened to Gou Xunli's repeated assurances that he only had enmity with the Australians and had no intentions towards the village. I didn’t expect that Gou Xunli wanted to destroy the Australians, and even the villages.
"You, go and ask the village to prepare wine and food for a celebration banquet."
When the bandits were causing harm to the village, Gou Xunli was nervously giving instructions to the leaders. He asked the leaders to prepare plenty of bows, arrows, firewood, gunpowder and fire-making equipment, in case they needed to attack with fire.
"...Don't get too close. Being hit by Kun Thief's bird musket is no joke." He knew from Xin Nari that Kun Thief's bird musket can hit a maximum distance of about one hundred feet, but Kun Thief The thieves usually fire at about fifty feet. "The large group of troops must leave the earth embankment three hundred steps away. Surround the camp and wait for my order." a! ~!
