The original caravan of more than 130 people now has only more than 110 people left. Such a large group of people can't hide it from others when they break out collectively. Now they can only make a time difference and rush to the mountain god while taking advantage of this little gap that the bandits did not expect. If you go to the temple, depending on the protection of the terrain, you may still have a glimmer of hope.
The bandits never expected that the caravan would abandon their goods and break out? You know, the intelligence said that the caravan brought a total of 110,000 cash in cash this time. Why don’t you just say you don’t want so much money? It was this little hesitation that allowed the caravan members to find an opening and fire all the way over.
The mountain road is rugged and difficult to walk. Xiao Letian is as tired as a dog now. Although he is also in the four-person assault team, he can only be regarded as a casual shooter. He occasionally fires two shots without knowing where he hit them. . The sky was getting darker and darker, and there were large rocks under his feet. Xiao Letian had already fallen down several times. At first, there were people helping him up, but then the scene became more and more chaotic, and no one cared about him at all.
More than a hundred people gathered together and ran up the mountain. It was still a dark night. After a while, the gathered circle had dispersed and rushed north like a worm. Almost everyone It’s listening to the footsteps of the people in front of you moving forward.
On both sides of the team, bandits rushed in from time to time. Many guys were hacked to death by the enemies in the dark, and screams could be heard endlessly. Fortunately, the night also restricted the movement of bandits, and these scattered attacks could not stop everyone.
"Oh, fuck..." Xiao Letian missed the point again. He couldn't remember how many times he fell, and his forehead was bruised. At this moment, two women's low voices suddenly came from behind him: "Ah Chou, does your leg still hurt? Can you still walk?"
Xiao Letian heard that this was not Huniu, the daughter of the old shopkeeper? He quickly turned around and took a closer look, and with the faint light, he vaguely discovered that Huniu was supporting his little yellow-haired girl beside a stone. It's broken. How can we stop it at this time? These two little girls are looking for death.
"Quick, quick, quick... What are you two doing? You don't want your life, and you can't stop even if your leg is broken..." Xiao Letian lowered his voice and touched it.
"Is it Brother Xiao?" Huniu was excited at that time. "A Chou fell down and may have hurt her foot. Can you carry her?" Xiao Letian was anxious and angry, thinking that my head would be smashed like an Indian Asan. I didn’t see anyone coming to carry me. Do you really think this is your home?
But there was nothing he could do. It was not Xiao Letian's character to refuse to save him. Without saying anything, he squatted down and said, "Hurry, hurry up, climb up quickly..." Unexpectedly, the little girl A Chou came up. "Miss, he It’s a man…”
Damn it, how long has it been since you still think about this? You are an ugly 13 or 14 year old who has not developed well, but you actually have the heart to think about things between men and women? But during this moment of hesitation, a figure suddenly flew out of the darkness on the right.
"There is a woman here, it must be the young lady from the Fan family! Catch her alive..." The black shadow pounced on A Chou like a hungry wolf. At that time, A Chou was so frightened that he tilted his head and fainted. Xiao Letian is so angry, why is your little girl waiting for a man to push me down if she doesn't want to get on my back? Your taste is strong enough.
The bandit miscalculated. He thought he was being served by a young lady, but it turned out that the person he knocked down was a little maid. Huniu was standing next to her. This girl was definitely the most unique young lady in the Qing Dynasty. Her temper was too savage. Before Xiao Letian could see it clearly, a cold light flashed in her hand, and a silver hairpin was struck fiercely. Plugged into the bandit's back, "You let A Chou go, you big bad guy..."
Xiao Letian was dumbfounded. The delicate one was a maid, and the womanly one was actually a young lady? This God is so playful. But now is not the time to be in a daze. The mountain temple in the north has already lit up with the light of torches. Mr. Qing and Lewis must have arrived. The outflanking army of bandits will definitely not be far away now. If you waste any more time, you will be courting death.
Xiao Letian gritted his teeth, took out the dagger from his arms and pounced forward, "Want to kill me? In your next life..." This was Xiao Letian's first real killing, and the one just now was definitely a manslaughter. , but this time it was different, it was Xiao Letian's brain controlling his hands, piercing the cold iron into the enemy's body.
The blood was already gushing out. Although he couldn't see it, Xiao Letian could feel the stickiness in his hand. The dagger stabbed the back of the heart, piercing through the heart. The bandit kicked his legs several times and vomited blood without even shouting.
Xiao Letian was almost exhausted, but he still persisted. He overturned the body, picked up A Chou and growled, "Get up..." He actually carried A Chou on his shoulders like a bag.
Huniu was dumbfounded. He found that the man in front of him was as majestic as a mountain. His black figure under the starlight exuded an invincible temperament. Huniu's eyes suddenly turned red. She wiped the corners of her eyes with her sleeves and followed closely behind Xiao Letian.
Poor Xiao Letian, in his previous life, he could not even carry a gas tank or rice, let alone a person. Don't look at the bulging muscles on his body. They are all from the gym, typical muscles for picking up girls. Please come to more and faster chapters. If he was really asked to carry a big living person up a mountain, he would probably be exhausted and sweat just thinking about it.
But people's potential in desperate situations is unlimited. Looking at the torch more than fifty meters away is the hope of life, and listening to the tsunami-like shouts of war behind him is the threat of death. Xiao Letian actually stood up, and his legs took long strides and were extremely steady.
When Xiao Letian walked into the light of the torch, Master Qing, the old shopkeeper, and even Lewis were dumbfounded. Xiao Letian was a hero at this time. He was carrying the unconscious ugly girl on his left shoulder, and his right arm was holding Huniu's armpit. Huniu had just fallen and couldn't walk.
A grown man carries and hugs a woman. Who has seen this peep show? This was the third year of Tongzhi, when Confucian ethics and ethics were at their most severe. How could a woman survive if she lost her reputation?
Shopkeeper Fan almost fainted with anger. He jumped out and rushed towards Xiao Letian. "Assholes, you bunch of bastards..." The old shopkeeper went towards Xiao Letian, but he was not scolding Xiao Letian. The old man was like a tiger rushing into a sheep. They beat up the guys around him like a gang.
"I've fed you all in vain. You didn't even help the lady when she was in trouble. It's all for nothing..." It was only then that Xiao Lecai realized that he didn't come alone. There were actually five or six waiters around him.
I'm confused. I'm tired, confused, and scared. You really can't blame these guys. How can they still have the energy to pay attention to the things around them when life and death are at stake? Even Xiao Letian himself didn't expect there were companions around him. At that moment, he only saw the mountain temple and the light of the torch.
However, Shopkeeper Fan's anxiety was not wrong. In that society at that time, if one of his own clerks rescued the young lady, although some people would gossip, there would be some level of superiority and inferiority to cover it up. It's not against etiquette for my own man to save his own lady, but it's hard to explain why he lets an outsider hug him like this.
The old shopkeeper didn't dare to get angry at Xiao Letian, so he could only punch and kick these blind guys.
When Xiao Letian settled the two girls into the temple, he yelled at the old shopkeeper, "Okay, just hit it twice and it'll be over. These are all your guys here, and Mr. Qing is not an outsider. What are you afraid of? Turn back." If you give everyone some hush money, who can still keep talking? The most important thing now is to stop the bandits, listen..."
The scene immediately became quiet. At this time, a sound like a roaring mountain and a tsunami came from the darkness under the hillside, causing the birds in the mountains to flee in all directions.
"This is the bandits mobilizing before the war. There are more than two hundred people listening to the sound..." Mr. Qing's face turned bitter at that time. He looked at the frightened guys and soldiers around him and sighed, "Now our subordinates are even There are not even a hundred people here, how can we resist..."
Xiao Letian looked around, and he discovered that nearly 20 caravan members had disappeared during the breakout. They seemed to have died on the hillside, and half of the remaining caravan members had died. Most of them were Sprained foot.
"Mr. Lewis, what should you Americans do if you encounter this kind of dilemma?" Xiao Letian asked.
"I'm sorry, I don't quite understand the fighting habits of you Orientals. I just counted it. Apart from the five Colts in the hands of the three of us, there are only ten muskets you call shotguns. Since there are 200 people on the opposite side Bandits, I can only pessimistically think that we will lose..."
"But don't worry, as an American, I will resist until the last moment. I will not surrender until I use up my last bullet..."
Pull it down. You Americans just love to dream. You dream of being a personal hero every day. Why do you still want to surrender? Do you really think that these bandits who fight undeclared and do not follow the rules of the road and rob will want you as a prisoner? Xiao Letian shook his head and did not say what was in his heart.
But at this moment, suddenly there was a dense sound of bow strings bouncing down the hillside. Mr. Qing threw the old shopkeeper next to him at that time, "Get down, hide quickly, the bandit is shooting an arrow..." before he finished speaking. A hail of arrows hit the ground.
This was the first time that Xiao Letian experienced a volley of bows and arrows. He huddled on the inside of the mud wall to avoid the attack of bows and arrows. In the courtyard, several weak-legged men had been nailed to the ground, and blood was flowing like a stream. .
"The enemy actually has more than a hundred bows and arrows? What kind of bandits are they? How come they have so many strong bows..." Mr. Qing knows his stuff. The Qing government's ban on bows and arrows was just like the later dynasty's ban on guns. Even hunters who make a living by hunting can only have a bamboo bow at most. This kind of long-range weapon in the cold weapon era, it is already very difficult for ordinary bandits to have just a few of them.
But today, Mr. Qing suddenly discovered that this wave of bandits actually had more than a hundred powerful bows, and it was impossible to fight this battle.
The volley of bows and arrows only lasted for four rounds, and more than 400 feathered arrows had already penetrated the mountain temple like a thicket of reeds. Just when the feather arrow attack stopped, a violent cry of killing suddenly came from the darkness outside the mountain gate, and the bandits finally began to charge.
"The bandits are here. Shoot them with arrows and guns. Fight them off..." Mr. Qing stood up with a loud roar and leaned on half of the low wall. He fired rapidly with the ancestral riding bow. Let him play to perfection.
Now no one in the caravan was afraid. They looked at the bandits rushing towards them in the dark and knew that they would die if they didn't fight. For a moment, shotguns and bows and arrows flew in random directions, and those who didn't have anything in their hands were thrown at them with stones. However, this still did not stop the bandit wave. When several muffled sounds and flames came from the bandit group, Shopkeeper Fan went crazy.
"It's bad, the bandits not only have bows and arrows, they also have shotguns..."
