"Tietutuo! You are the best in Qinggong. Go out immediately to report the news and mobilize troops. The others will cover..." In the chaos, Xiao Letian stabilized the morale of the soldiers in the flower room like a needle that stabilizes the sea. He knew that there must be no chaos now. One wrong step would be doomed.
This is a battle with a time difference. If Xiao Letian's previous battle plan was an iron chain, then Sun Sanhu's dead soldiers were the black hands who destroyed one of the rings.
Xiao Letian never doubted the combat effectiveness of his new army. Even though they were just two small companies with less than 200 men, they were equipped with the most advanced Spencer gun in the West at the time, and Xiao Letian There are also many homemade Molotov cocktails and grenades.
Not to mention fighting against these declining armies of the late Qing Dynasty, even against the regular British and French armies, Xiao Letian believed that they would not let him down. As for fighting passion? Will young people who can fight their way through a hundred thousand Japanese mob lose their enthusiasm for fighting?
What is needed now is time. The most terrifying outcome is that the New Army has defeated everything but what he sees when he comes back is his cold body. The knowledge and fighting spirit in Xiao Letian's mind are invincible, but his is ordinary. Living in the rivers and lakes, who is not afraid of knives?
"Tietutuo! Don't let me down, I want to protect you personally. Everything depends on you!" Lord Long held Tietutuo's shoulder and shook it hard. The current Tietoutuo still has the kindness of the eminent monk. The murderous aura all over his body is as real as the blue veins on his forehead.
At this time, Xiang Shaolong yelled, "Fire, everyone, fire..." I saw white smoke rising from the six Spencer guns inside the broken window, and bullets splashed out like rain, suppressing the enemy's arrogance for a while. .
However, Tietoutuo did not break out from the main entrance. The strong man like an iron tower crashed into the back wall of the greenhouse like a tank at full power. Just hearing a bang, a hole as high as one person appeared in front of everyone, and Tietoutuo rushed out to the west like a black wind.
"Get out quickly, we can't defend the greenhouse, stay back..." Zhou Mingkui took the lead and got out, running straight to the large solid blue brick house in the backyard.
Xiao Letian and the others fought and retreated. The enemy suppressed by six Spencers and two Colts could not hold their heads up, but everyone knew that bullets were limited, and no one knew how long they could hold out.
Sun Sanhu was so angry that he jumped up and down, "Trash, you are all trash, foreign guns are firing..."
"My lord, I can't do it. Their guns are too fast and we can't suppress them! But don't worry, lord, their bullets are limited. They will stop moving after a while..."
Just as he was talking, Xiao Letian and his party had already rushed into a blue brick building at the back of the inner house. This was already the deepest part of the government office, and the street was already outside the north wall.
"Master Long, can you break down this wall? There is a street behind it. Let's escape while the chaos is happening..." Before Zhou Mingkui could finish his words, he heard a commotion outside, and a furious Sun Sanhu was directing his dead soldiers.
"Surround this house, climb over the wall and guard the street behind it. We must not let them escape..." Under the command of Sun Sanhu, chaotic footsteps have surrounded the large brick and tiled house. Xiao Letian and the others have completely become an island in the sea. .
There was a cruel light in Sun Sanhu's eyes. "Brothers, don't be polite to them. Set fire to burn these rebellious people..." Under his order, torches were lit one by one and they were about to be thrown into the house.
At this time, Xiao Letian opened the window and yelled, "How dare you? Do you think you can get the property of Letian Yang Company by killing us? You are fucking dreaming. Let me tell you, without our intervention, everything will be lost." You won’t be able to collect a penny of my debt, and you won’t be able to find any of our secret bank vaults..."
"I don't know how your brain grew. Have you been drinking water since you were a child? Do you fucking know that the knife in your hand is effective? I tell you, as long as any one of us dies, you will die. You can’t even make half a tael of silver. If you don’t believe it, just give it a try..."
Sun Sanhu never thought that the trapped prey would dare to be so arrogant, and subconsciously wanted to order an attack, but when he saw Xiao Letian's determined eyes, his momentum immediately weakened.
"Xiao, are you bluffing me?"
"Haha, are you bluffing? If you have the guts, try it. Don't think that you can get some oil and water because I have a lot of money. I tell you the truth, if you dare to touch me, you will never even get a hundred taels. …”
Sun Sanhu's face changed several colors, but he finally held back and said, "Damn, surround me. I don't believe it. I've eaten all your rebellious private troops, and you can still dance like crazy!"
Dozens of dead soldiers surrounded the room one after another, with exquisite hand crossbows, sharp weapons, and foreign guns loaded with ammunition. Everyone was staring at the room, waiting for the latest order.
At this time, Xiao Letian had fallen to the ground. He pointed at Zhou Mingkui, "You, you, what kind of subordinates did you bring? This is too cowardly. More than two hundred people were actually controlled?"
Zhou Mingkui's face turned into a monkey's ass because of his shame. He lowered his head and sighed, "I'm sorry, sir. I'm really sorry. The villain has failed to govern me well, and I've made you feel wronged..."
Zhou Mingkui is absolutely 100% respectful to Xiao Letian. This classmate of Magistrate Liu has been completely impressed since he entered Xiao Letian's inner circle. He never thought that someone would cultivate his own power in this way, secretly and unstoppably.
Zhou Mingkui had already written a bloody letter and entered the inner circle of Xiao Letian's shadow empire. Even his youngest son will be sent to a school in Naha next spring. In name, he is going to study Western learning, but in fact hostage.
However, Zhou Mingkui did not resist. He was an enlightened scholar at heart and did not have much resistance to Western learning. Now that there is a master of Western learning to join him, it is really a great opportunity for him, so since the summer, Zhou Mingkui has been Xiao Letian's loyal subordinate.
"Damn it, stop talking nonsense to me. How much money have I invested in you from the beginning to the end? You brought out such a group of cowards for me? I am so disappointed. You are so disappointing to me... "Xiao Leqian was running around the room, while Zhou Mingkui sat on the ground with a red face and said nothing.
Just when the battle situation at Tongzhi Yamen was in a stalemate, Xiao Letian's new army was ready to fight on both sides of the official road to the west of Tanggu City.
If you want to enter Tanggu City from Green Camp outside the city, the most convenient way is the official road for cargo transportation. At this time, two hundred new troops have been ambushed on the north and south sides of the official road.
When the fireworks of Sun Sanhu's general attack exploded in the dark night in the city, the Green Camp soldiers, who had eaten a belly full of pork, cabbage and vermicelli, finally got the order to attack and launched an attack into the city.
"Brothers, the prefect has been kidnapped by gangsters. The palace guards have sent people to ask for help. Promotion and fortune are just around the corner. Please rush forward..."
In the dark night, the green camp soldiers who had been waiting for more than half an hour, their hands and feet were numb from the cold. When they heard that they were about to charge, no one dared to hesitate, jumped up on the spot, and rushed forward crazily.
"Kill! Catch the thief... rush into Tanggu City... get rich right in front of you..." All the soldiers have small calculations in their hearts. This kind of smear campaign is really a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. As long as they complete the most important task, they can They took advantage of the chaos and robbed the merchants in the city. If they broke into just a few merchants, the money they stole would be enough to last them half a lifetime.
The soldiers ran forward happily in the cold wind, and the officers' horses galloped back and forth on the road, constantly encouraging the soldiers.
"You have all experienced what kind of life we have lived in the past few months. Being a grandson makes everyone laugh. Now the opportunity is in front of you. As long as we win this battle, we will have good days in the future!"
"Work hard, work hard. Instead of porridge and pickles every day, it's better to work hard to build a rich future. Brothers, don't be afraid, people will kill people, and Buddhas will kill Buddhas..."
More than 1,500 Green Camp soldiers, with the hope of changing their destiny, rushed towards Tanggu City like a tide, and the earth suddenly trembled.
Now Tanggu City has been in panic since the gunshots rang out in the Yamen. All the shops were closed. The thick door panels were pushed up, and the thick wooden bars were pushed against the back of the door. The shopkeepers and clerks held various The weapon was hidden behind the door, and he listened in horror to the gunshots coming from the Yamen.
Since the chaos in the summer, the businessmen in Tanggu have become smarter. Not only do they make money, they also secretly buy a lot of smuggled foreign guns. Their men have already been armed. Nowadays, these businessmen are no longer cattle and sheep to be slaughtered, but they have not yet had the consciousness to save others.
Shopkeeper Niu of Sihai Trading Company was pacing back and forth in the hall of his own store, surrounded by more than fifty store clerks. Everyone was holding a Remington front-loading rifle. Each foreign gun was worth more than a hundred dollars. two.
"Brothers, the thing in your hand is not a fire stick, it is a sharp weapon to protect the family. If an enemy rushes in and wants to kill people and steal wealth, just shoot me. I will be your back-up..."
"Shopkeeper, this, this, this... isn't this a rebellion? Will it kill the nine tribes?" One of his subordinates asked in horror.
"Damn it, are you full of shit? Have you forgotten what happened this summer? So many mobs rushed up to steal our money. Who among these soldiers has ever protected us? Aren't you just following the thugs to steal our money? I have seen through it a long time ago..."
"These bastards bully the weak and shy away from the strong. If you take one step back, they dare to take ten steps forward. If Mr. Xiao hadn't saved us this year, would you still want to start earning money? Do you still want to marry a wife and support your parents? Just dream about it, I will do it now We must fight them to the end, as Mr. Xiao said, these beasts are just paper tigers, no one needs to be afraid of them!"
Shopkeeper Niu was cheering for his men. Almost all the businessmen in Tanggu were cheering for their men. They had already experienced bankruptcy once in the summer. If it weren't for Xiao Letian's low-interest loan, they would have jumped into the sea and committed suicide.
People are like that, after they have had a painful experience, they never want to have it again. So they have to resist, they want to learn from Xiao Letian, they have to fight when they encounter these bandits, and they will kill anyone who dares to bankrupt them.
When the green battalion soldiers charged towards Tanggu City crazily, the new army, which had been silent for a long time, was also ready to fight. These soldiers, wearing navy blue woolen military uniforms and thermal jackets and cloaks, had long been half-kneeling in the woods on both sides of the pipeline. They each picked up heavy Spencer rifles and faced the enemy in a wild goose wing formation.
In front of them were the howling green soldiers on the pipeline. These cold-weapon soldiers who were still in the medieval era. No one could have imagined that right in front of them, a wall of death had been erected, and the massacre was about to begin.
Xiao Hexin and Sima Yun raised the Western command knives almost at the same time. The starlight flickered on the swords and filled the air with a murderous aura. The two men chopped down the command knives almost at the same time and shouted loudly.
"Marines...shoot!"
The gunfire formed a line and struck the enemy like the whip of God.
