As Lyubasha's piercing scream sounded, the Cossack officers who were resting pushed the door open one after another. Some were holding belts, while others were empty-handed.
An officer waved his belt and cursed at Liubasya: "Damn woman! Can you stop for a while! Do you have to eat the belt to be honest?"
Liubasya pointed at Orlov lying on the ground and cried out: "He is dead! He was killed!"
The expressions of several officers changed and they did not care to scold her anymore. The two guys holding belts were the closest. Just as they were about to raise their feet to check, their heads suddenly seemed to be hit by an invisible hammer, and then they fell to the ground.
Liu Basia's scream sounded again, and several others were stunned on the spot.
When the ensuing slight whistling sound passed by, the guy who reacted the fastest suddenly jumped back into the house, closed the door and then rushed to the bed to get the gun, checked the barrel of the gun, and then dialed the gun. Fired the hammer and hid behind a table. The other three officers also reacted at this time and were about to turn around and enter the room when one of them suddenly fell to the ground and never moved again.
"Come on! Come on! We're under attack!" The officer who rushed into the house first shouted at the top of his lungs toward the window. But he forgot that the doors and windows of this room were closed, so the sound could not travel far at all.
Liu Basia squatted under the eaves with her head in her arms and shouted into the room: "Asshole! You cowards! Leave the woman behind and hide in the house! Help!"
And those Feyaka women who didn't know what had happened were lying on the edge of the pool and looking around, wondering if there was another sneak attack by their own tribe. The Feyaka woman who had been beaten just now looked at Shalyubasha in the distance, with a sneer of pleasure on her face.
With a soft swishing sound, five or six Beihai Town soldiers, covered with branches and leaves, emerged from the forest. They held their rifles and aimed at the two rooms where the people were hiding, paying no attention to the women by the pool.
Several Feyaka women looked at these people in horror, thinking that these were not tribesmen, could it be the ghosts in the mountains causing trouble?
When Liu Basia looked up and saw the six people, she became even more frightened. She screamed and huddled in the corner, crying and begging: "Don't kill me! Don't kill me! I have already made atonement to God!"
At this time, more people emerged from the woods, all dressed in the same clothes as the first six people. Several Feyaka women who were confused about the situation lay on the ground, not even daring to raise their heads. The six Beihai Town soldiers from before were divided into two groups and approached two occupied wooden houses. They followed what Liu Sheng and others taught them during training. The two of them stood on both sides of the door. The other soldier faced the door, took a step back, then strode forward and kicked the door violently.
"Bang!" The door, which was not very strong, was kicked open.
"Boom!" A gunshot rang out, and wood chips flew from the porch pillars. At the same time, a Tsarist Russian officer wearing a white cotton jacket brandished a Cossack saber and was about to rush out. The Beihai Town soldiers standing on the side of the door immediately raised their guns and fired.
"boom!"
The saber clanged on the floor, and the officer was shot in the chest and fell to the ground dead.
"Please! Stop shooting! We surrender!" The fool also heard that the sound outside was the sound of muskets, although it was clearer than the sound of ordinary muskets. The last two Cossack officers huddled in the corner of the room, shouting outside.
"What did they say?" a soldier asked the two companions with his eyes.
The other two soldiers shook their heads, indicating that they did not understand, and then made a motion of wiping their necks with their left hands. The first soldier nodded, and then kicked the wooden door hard...
Located at the port one kilometer north of the Tsarist camp, two British three-masted sailing ships were quietly docked on the south bank of the lagoon. A group of Tsarist Russian sailors were busy loading coal to the ship, while the captains of the two ships were sitting in their offices on the dock, smoking and chatting. There were no cigarettes in Europe at this time, so one of the two captains was smoking a pipe, and the other was holding a tobacco pipe rod from the island country (in 1875, the American Durand invented the world's first "automatic cigarette rolling machine".)
The two ships on the dock are called Nicholas and Natalia, with a displacement of 1,500 tons, and both belong to the Kamchatka Peninsula Mining Company. Starting in May every year, these two ships regularly sail south from the port of Lower Kamchatka, transporting coal and animal skins from the local area, and delivering supplies. Lyubasha, the death row prisoner from Siberia, was sent here by them.
Because they have no combat missions and have to transport cargo, each of these two ships is equipped with only about a hundred sailors. Besides, from here to Kamchatka, there are no pirates at all except the Cossacks themselves.
In the dock office, a captain's ear suddenly twitched, and then he asked another person: "Rebedov, did you hear it?"
The man called Rybedov raised his eyelids in surprise and asked, "What?"
"I thought I heard a gunshot."
Rybedov got up, opened the window facing south, and listened for a while. "No." As soon as he finished speaking, a "bang bang" sound like exploding beans came from the south.
"Oops! Something happened at the coal mine!"
Rybedov picked up the gun from the table, checked the gunpowder, and said to the other person: "Could it be a wild animal?"
"No! This gunshot is not ours! There is an enemy!"
Suddenly, Rybedov was astonished to see hundreds of people running out of the window from the woods to the south. These people were short in stature and had Asian faces. They were wearing dark cotton-padded clothes and had headscarves on their heads. Wearing a cotton hat and holding an ax or pickaxe in his hand, he rushed towards the sailor who was loading coal.
"Oh God!" Rybedov cocked the hammer and said to the other captain: "Quick! Get back to the ship! We can't let them take over the ship!"
The other captain also took out the musket stuck in his waist, cocked the hammer and fired a shot outside.
Rybedov's eyes were splitting, and he shouted: "Asshole! You are crazy!" After saying that, he opened the door and ran towards his boat.
At this time, hundreds of sailors who were transporting coal on the dock were caught off guard and were suddenly attacked and killed by migrant workers from Beihai Town. Zhao Xin raised his gun and kept killing the sailors who looked strong, while shouting to his men: "Quick! Block them! Don't let them get on the ship!"
At this time, Rybedov had already run to the springboard and was about to lift his legs up the springboard when a migrant worker struck him with an axe. In panic, Rybedov raised his hand and fired. The migrant worker dropped the ax, clutched his chest and leaned forward. When several migrant workers behind him saw that the other party had a musket, they turned around and ran away in fright.
After boarding the ship, Rybedov shouted to several sailors on the deck: "Remove the gangplank! Raise the sail! Untie the mooring rope!"
Zhao Xin still had too high expectations for these Henan refugees. When the Tsarist Russian sailors gradually came to their senses and began to gather together and fight with tools or daggers on their waists, these refugee workers suddenly stopped moving forward. When the sober sailors on the two boats opened fire with their muskets, the dozens of workers who had blocked the sailors' retreat suddenly fled in all directions.
We are here to work and farm, not to risk our lives! Even if you give two silver dollars, you can't spend your life to earn your life!
Zhao Xin is so angry! He suppressed the anger in his chest and kept raising his gun to shoot at the gun-wielding sailors on the deck. At this time, all the migrant workers had almost run away, and only a dozen clever guys were left pushing behind him.
Seeing Zhao Xin in front of him pull the trigger frequently, one or two shots would kill one of them. Only then did the dozen or so migrant workers behind him feel safe, thinking that this gun in the hands of the master is more powerful!
At this moment, a gunshot rang out from the edge of the woods to the south. Seven or eight sailors on the dock were shot and fell to the ground. Two squads sent by Liu Sheng to support arrived!
At this time, the Nicholas had cut the cable, and more than a dozen sailors desperately climbed up the mast and lowered the main sail. Under the influence of the south wind, the huge white main sail was blown up by the wind. Rebeidov steered the steering wheel. The sailboat began to slowly leave the harbor.
Zhao Xin kept shooting at the main mast with an assault rifle with a scope, sending sparks flying everywhere. However, the mast was too thick and had no effect at all.
The captain of the Natalia had not yet boarded the ship. He hid behind several barrels on the dock and loaded the musket with bullets in a panic. The other thirty or so surviving sailors saw that Zhao Xin's "musket" was really powerful, and they hurriedly ran to hide behind the barrel and the wooden box next to it.
"You idiots! Go out and kill them! There are only a dozen of them left now!" The captain of the Natalia whispered to a few people.
"Captain, they are here to help again, seven... no! More than twenty people, all armed with muskets. If we rush out, we will die!"
At this time, all the sailors looked at the captain and said, "If you have the ability, go ahead. You guys with muskets won't come up. Let us rush out with shovels and daggers." Even if you beat me to death, I won’t go out!
The captain of the Natalia was so angry that he had no choice but to turn his head and look into the lagoon, only to see that the Nicholas had floated out dozens of meters away. He turned to the sailors beside him and said, "I'll shoot first, and then we'll rush to the ship together. God and the Queen will bless us!"
Upon hearing this, all the sailors knew that there was no good way to do it, so they had no choice but to nod in agreement.
"Boom!" A gunshot rang out, and Zhao Xin, who was hiding on the side of the dock office, quickly shrank his head. Splashing sawdust fell all over his head, causing all the migrant workers to exclaim.
More than 20 meters away, dozens of figures jumped out from behind the barrel and ran towards the gangplank of another sailboat. Two squads of Beihai Town soldiers were approaching the dock. They were squatting or standing, shooting at the fleeing figures. And Zhao Xin raised his gun and aimed at a guy holding a blunderbuss, thinking that he must kill you first!
"Chirp! Chirp!" With one shot, the captain of the Natalia was staggered, turned over and fell into the water. The other sailors didn't care and rushed off the gangplank with their heads in their hands. As bullets kept flying, sailors continued to be shot and fell into the water.
Zhao Xin continued shooting intently, and said to the dozen or so people behind him: "Hurry up and get on the boat, I will cover you."
Seeing the red-haired man being beaten by his own people, the man fell on his back. Dozens of migrant workers, who mustered up the courage to hold up their axes, shouted and rushed forward again. Zhao Xin rushed to the front and hit several Tsarist Russians with several shots. He stood on the trestle, pointed his gun at the side of the ship and the deck, and shouted to a few guys who were hesitant to get on the gangplank: "I can't drown you! Rush over!" "
Two squads of soldiers also rushed up with guns in hand. They didn't wait for the migrant workers to get on the boat. They pushed past these people and rushed onto the gangplank. They stepped on the deck in a few steps, and then there was another burst of fierce gunfire.
When Zhao Xin stepped onto the deck of the Natalia, a soldier from Beihai Town pointed at the Nicholas in the distance and shouted: "Chief, that ship is far away!"
"They can't escape!" Zhao Xin sneered, and then said to the leading soldier: "Quick, you guys are searching in the cabin, be careful!" After saying that, he walked to the side of the ship and changed to another Magazine, ready to wait for the arrival of Russian deserters.
There were only a few surviving crew members on the Natalia. When the people from Beihai Town rushed into the cabin, these trembling guys raised their hands to surrender, shouting "Spare your life" that no one could understand. ".
The sudden attack in Beihai Town made it impossible for a group of Cossack officers to organize effective resistance, and they were wiped out. The Beihai Town soldiers who did not understand foreign languages ignored the other party's shouts of surrender and rushed into the house with random shots. Except for catching Lyubasha and rescuing several Feyaka women, no one survived.
Mergu'a and others followed Liu Sheng, dumbfounded as they watched Beihai Town quickly defeat the red-haired man, and were extremely shocked. Before the seven people could cheer, they saw the group of Feyaka women guarded by two Beihai Town soldiers.
Several women were frightened. At this time, they finally saw Mergua and others wearing their own national costumes. Although they were not from the same tribe, they could not help but rush over and hug Mergua and others and burst into tears. Mergu'a and others did not care about following Liu Sheng. Facing the humiliated tribesmen, they had no choice but to offer gentle words and comfort.
When Liu Sheng led a platoon of soldiers through the Tsarist Russian camp, a soldier ran over and reported that the three platoons in front had surrounded the remaining red-haired people in the coal mine, and more than two hundred death row prisoners were exiled. The prisoners and some twenty Cossack soldiers were still resisting.
Liu Sheng then ordered a squad to be left behind to search the camp, and he followed the soldier to a mine not far away, where he hid behind a big tree and observed with a telescope. He didn't speak Russian, so he tried shouting "put down your arms and surrender" a few times in English, but there was no response from the other party. Only then did Liu Sheng realize that the little English he knew might not be understood by these people. In that case, let’s keep fighting!
"So you are really hiding here!" At this time, Ukanbe was lying behind a pile of coal. The sight hole of the rifle in his hand was already fixed on the thigh of a Cossack soldier. The appearance of that man was something Ukanbe would never forget in his life. No, he was the robber who hit him in the first place!
Wu Kambei thought that if he had not followed Beihai Town to Bitter Leaf Island, he might never have found an enemy in his life. He felt that he couldn't let the other party die so easily, and besides, there were a few others that he hadn't found yet!
When the whistle started to sound, Ukanbe immediately pulled the trigger. The Cossack soldier felt as if he was struck by lightning. A flower of blood burst out from his thigh, and he fell on the coal pile with a scream. Immediately afterwards, Ukambe moved the muzzle of his gun, pointed it at the chest of another Cossack soldier, and shot repeatedly.
The sound of gunfire continued, and the prisoners and Cossack soldiers hiding in the mine had no way to escape. Several exiles lay on the ground holding their heads, shouting for mercy. When more than a hundred people emptied a magazine, there were less than fifty Tsarist Russians alive in the mine. These guys who survived are cursing this damn open-pit mine! Why isn't there even a hole?
At the exit of the lagoon more than thirty miles away, the Thunderbolt has anchored here, with the left side of the ship facing the south of the exit. On the first deck, all eight heavy machine gun positions were ready, their guns pointed at the sailboat in the distance, just waiting for Deng Fei's order to fire. Deng Fei, on the other hand, held his assault rifle and stood on the compass deck, observing the sailing ship approaching in the distance from a high position.
"After a while, everyone will listen to my command. Machine gun positions No. 1 to 4 will shoot at the main mast on the deck and knock off the opponent's sail. Positions 5 to 8 will aim at the artillery window on the right side of the enemy and shoot."
On the Nicholas, Rybedov, who had just escaped from the tiger's mouth, looked back at the hell-like port, and secretly said to himself: "God bless us, we finally escaped!"
No matter where those people came from, Rybedov decided to return to Kamchatka immediately to report.
"Damn the devil! God will punish you! Prepare to face the wrath of the Cossacks!" Rybedov stood at the helm of the ship, looking back and shouting toward the shore.
