Chapter 69: The Collapse of the Third Boss
Guo Xiaohai calculated that there was still a bullet in Xi Xingchen's gun. Xi Xingchen's shooting skills were so powerful, and if he rushed out like this, he could not guarantee that he would be the one who took the bullet.
Dangerous matters are left to his subordinates. A dead Taoist friend is not a poor Taoist. As the dignified third master, Guo Xiaohai definitely has a reason to stay.
"Bang bang bang bang bang!"
There were five more gunshots, and a mixture of brains and blood ejected from the heads of the five bandits who jumped out of their hiding place, and then they fell backwards, seeing that they were dead and could no longer die.
After five gunshots, the bandits hid in the bunker again.
"Ten!" Guo Xiaohai was now absolutely sure that Xi Xingchen's gun had no bullets.
"Here, I'll reward the Third Master with two small yellow croakers for whoever kills that kid." Guo Xiaohai shouted.
Two small yellow croakers are two gold bars. With today's purchasing power, even in Xunyang City, one can buy a big house and live with a wife for most of his life.
As the saying goes, there must be a brave man under a heavy reward. As soon as Guo Xiaohai finished speaking, more than a dozen bandits rushed out, holding crossbows and shooting at Xi Xingchen.
Xi Xingchen moved quickly to avoid the crossbow arrows fired by the bandits. He raised his hand and fired three more shots. Three more bandits fell to the ground.
Most of these bandits who were stimulated by the little yellow croaker and ran out of their hiding places were like Guo Xiaohai. They thought that the gun in Xi Xingchen's hand was out of bullets and ran out with the mentality of picking up leaks. Unexpectedly, the gun in Xi Xingchen's hand still had firepower. It was so ferocious that it seemed like there was no end to the bullets. It was so frightening that the three souls lost two of them and shrank back like a rabbit.
"Go up to me and kill that man. I will reward each of you with five small yellow croakers." Guo Xiaohai was very anxious when he saw this and shouted quickly.
This time, no more bandits came out.
This is easy to understand. No matter how ferocious the bandits are, they are still a mob in nature. When they are fighting against the wind, their operations are as fierce as tigers.
But if they encounter really hard rocks, they will definitely run faster than a rabbit, and eight cows can't even hope to pull them back.
Looking at this situation, Guo Xiaohai felt like crying: "How many bullets do you have? Are they finished?"
According to Guo Xiaohai's original idea, with more than 20 people on his side, the opponent only had one person and one gun. The distance of 20 steps was only a matter of breath and breath at the speed of the bandits.
Therefore, in Guo Xiaohai's plan, no matter how many bullets the opponent has in his gun, as long as everyone swarms up, everything will be done.
It's just that Guo Xiaohai really thought wrong this time. The shell gun in Xi Xingchen's hand, commonly known as the box gun, was equipped with a twenty-round magazine.
In addition, the shell gun also has a name, called Zilaide. It can be fired in bursts or in bursts. In this kind of close combat of about twenty steps, as long as your finger pulls the trigger fast enough, it will definitely save a life. Harvester.
It's also his fault that Guo Xiaohai didn't look at the almanac when he went out. Xi Xingchen's fingers are very good, so he shouldn't pull the trigger too fast, and from a distance of about twenty steps, he can hit wherever he points, and his shots will definitely be flawless.
In this way, Guo Xiaohai's crowd tactics immediately turned into fuel tactics.
Guo Xiaohai made a surprise attack on the Wu Mansion this time, and a total of thirty-five people including himself came.
It has to be said that the first half of this sneak attack plan was surprisingly successful. In the entire Wu Mansion, including the servants, there were forty or fifty people, and not even a single person who reported the news ran out.
After the sneak attack was successful, Guo Xiaohai left ten people on guard outside and led the remaining twenty-four people to chase Wu Batian and his son.
When they blocked the Wu family father and son in the backyard, and were about to be done, they unexpectedly killed Cheng Yaojin, who was in charge of Chen Xingchen on the way. With one man and one shot, he instantly turned the tide of the battle.
After two rounds of charges, Guo Xiaohai lost thirteen people and half of his men. At this rate of loss, the remaining men would only be enough to charge two more times.
Moreover, they fought in the backyard for a long time, and none of the secret sentries left outside responded. There was only one possibility. Xi Xingchen eliminated all the bandits who were sentrying outside.
Faced with such a result, do you think Guo Xiaohai is not upset?
That's impossible. Guo Xiaohai now wants to peel off Xi Xingchen's skin and cramps, put it in a frying pan and fry it into crispy meat.
But what can be done?
If anger was useful, Wu Batian would probably have killed Guo Xiaotian and wiped out the nine tribes.
"Fortunately, only one such killing star came. If there were a few more, everyone would have to be here." Guo Xiaohai was now shadowed by the shell gun in Xi Xingchen's hand, and he did some mental construction to comfort himself.
But comfort is comfort, the problem at hand still needs to be solved.
Now, Guo Xiaohai had to face the reality: half of the people he brought had been lost, and the remaining people were afraid of the firearms in Xi Xingchen's hands and hid in their hiding places and did not dare to come out; when things developed to this point, Wu Zhiyuan It's definitely impossible to catch him.
Since the goal cannot be achieved, the only option is to retreat.
"Third Master, let's withdraw." One of Guo Xiaohai's confidants named Huang Sanmao noticed his hesitation and reminded him kindly.
"Withdraw, how to withdraw? Can we outrun bullets with two legs?" Guo Xiaohai said angrily.
How to withdraw is indeed a question.
For Guo Xiaohai's situation, retreating and attacking are almost the same. Both have to come out of the hiding place, and when you come out, you have to risk taking bullets.
Since there is a risk of eating bullets, it is wise to decide who will eat it and how; who will eat it first, who will eat it last, or everyone will eat it together.
Take retreat as an example. Everyone knows that if you run out first, you will get the bullet first, and if you run out later, you may not get the bullet. So how to decide who comes first and who comes last?
Although everyone is a bandit who wears his head on his belt to earn a living, who doesn’t want to keep his head and eat for a few more days?
It's true that bandits are desperadoes, but when it comes to matters of wealth and life, who isn't very shrewd?
I'll take the good stuff first, and you'll get the bad stuff first. This is a quality that a qualified bandit must have. It happens that all the elites brought by Guo Xiaohai have such qualities, so it is a bit embarrassing.
Since everyone's quality is so high, let's run together and let life and death be determined by fate.
So the problem comes again.
For example, if two bandits ran out at the same time, who would Xi Xingchen hit first? Who knows.
If both of them were killed, that would be okay. What if Xi Xingchen only killed one and escaped?
If the person who was beaten to death was me, then I would have lost a lot of money.
In the face of life and death, everyone has to worry about everything.
The bandits led by Guo Xiaohai are all brothers who usually eat from the same pot. No one knows their moral character. Who can guarantee that if we all agree to run together, it will turn into a situation of "brother, you go first, and I will take care of you".
The bandits each had their own little plans, and no one was willing to sacrifice their personal self to fulfill the greater self. They hid in their hiding places and refused to come out, so Xi Xingchen was even less anxious.
Anyway, he already knew that Zhou Qiaoqian had gone to the government office to move reinforcements, and that Duan Zhenghua and Jin Bo were also competing for the leadership in the school. As long as they succeeded in either way, they would rush to help him immediately.
So Xi Xingchen made a gesture to Wu Batian and told him that reinforcements would be arriving soon, so please be patient.
Although Wu Batian was worried about his relatives outside, he also knew that now was the best situation, so he motioned for the whole family to hide in the woodshed, and he and two servants guarded the door.
Just like this, one side wanted to fight but couldn't, and the other side wanted to stand firm and wait for help, and the two groups immediately started to stalemate.
As a result, the Wu family's backyard, which had been bustling with excitement, suddenly became quiet.
There was no sound in the backyard, and someone immediately became anxious.
It turned out that Wu Qingshuang followed Xi Xingchen's arrangement at first and found a place to hide. Not long after she hid, she heard loud gunshots in the backyard, but there was no movement soon.
After all, Wu Qingshuang was just a teenage girl. When she heard the silence in the backyard, she suddenly started thinking wildly.
She thought for a moment that her parents and brothers were all killed by bandits, for a while she thought that Xi Xingchen also died at the hands of bandits, and then recalled that the yard was full of family members who had been killed by bandits. The more Wu Qingshuang thought about it, the more frightened she became, and her heart became more and more uneasy. The more chaotic it becomes.
Many times, stress does not come from the outside world, but from your own random thoughts.
Under tremendous pressure, Wu Qingshuang felt that if she did nothing, she would most likely collapse. So she walked out of her hiding place, sneaked to the entrance of the circular courtyard in the backyard, and stretched out half her head to take a look at the backyard.
Wu Qingshuang stretched out her head and saw Wu Batian standing at the door of the woodshed, and reflexively called "Dad".
Wu Qingshuang's "Daddy" sound was like dropping a stone into a calm pond, and the whole pond suddenly became lively.
Only then did Wu Qingshuang realize that there were many people lying in water tanks, rockeries, and under the steps less than two or three meters in front of her. These people were all staring at the front. After hearing her voice, more than a dozen pairs of All eyes turned towards her.
The situation was like a dozen hungry wolves suddenly seeing a little sheep that had broken into the wolf's den. There was surprise, greed, and more of ecstasy in their eyes.
"Run!" The first one to react was Xi Xingchen. As soon as he saw Wu Qingshuang standing there as if scared, he knew something was going to be bad and ignored the danger. He immediately turned out from behind the pillar and used the fastest speed in his life. He ran towards Wu Qingshuang at a very fast speed.
"Get her."
The second person to react was Guo Xiaohai. He ran out of the pillars in the corridor almost at the same time as Xi Xingchen, followed by a group of bandits hiding behind the bunker.
After seeing Xi Xingchen's powerful firepower, both Guo Xiaohai and the other bandits had the intention of retreating, but they were afraid of Xi Xingchen's shooting and did not dare to leave the bunker easily.
At this time, Guo Xiaohai and the bandits missed their previous hostages.
If there is a hostage in hand, Xi Xingchen will definitely use the enemy's weapon and not dare to shoot easily, so that they can use the cover of the hostage to leave calmly.
Unfortunately, Xi Xingchen was caught off guard, and all the hostages in his hands were rescued by Wu Batian.
