Take the warehouse back to the end of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 249
The Zhou family brothers asked the counselor to write the military report asking for help, and then asked the general to send it out.

Standing in the resident of Pingyang Mansion, Zhou Laoliu watched the messenger rushing out on a horse, and the melancholy expression on his face gradually calmed down.

"My lord, the team we sent to Dadu Town to gather refugees will soon return to Pingyang Mansion, and now we are not far from Pingyang Mansion."

At this moment, a messenger rushed to Zhou Laoliu's side and said to Zhou Laoliu.

Dadu Town is not far from the Yellow River and is located in the west of Pingyang Prefecture. It is a very important gathering place for refugees from Shaanxi to Shanxi.

Five days ago, in order to gather refugees more quickly, Zhou Laoliu sent a 100-man army to Dadu Town.

There are thirty 56 and a half rods and five light machine guns in this army, and the firepower is very fierce.

The troops sent by Zhou Laoliu were not to mention thieves, even if they encountered Jiannu, they could still press them to the ground and rub them against each other.

Looking at the messenger, Zhou Laoliu asked slowly, "Did you encounter anything along the way? Now the entire Shanxi territory is full of thieves. Although our weapons are fierce, we can't take it lightly."

The messenger replied: "My lord, I have encountered a few waves of rogues, but these rogues are peasants who have just dropped their hoes not long ago. They are our opponents there, but they just fired a few times. The thieves ran away.

If it weren't for escorting the refugees, our team would probably catch up and kill these waves of thieves. "

Zhou Lao Liu waved his hand and said slowly: "Killing these thieves is nothing. They are just peasants who have just dropped their hoes not long ago. There is nothing to show off."

"By the way, how many refugees have been brought back this time? How far is it from Pingyang Mansion?"

"Returning to my lord, a total of more than 1 people have been recruited from Dadu Town this time, and most of these people are young and strong. Now it is only a day's journey from Pingyang Mansion."

Zhou Laoliu pondered for a moment, and then said: "More than 1 refugees, this is beyond my expectation.

Now including the refugees from Pingyang Prefecture, we already have nearly [-] refugees in our hands. We must send these refugees to Xuan Town as soon as possible.

Let's not talk about anything else, when these refugees come back, let's go to Xuan Town to send [-] people. We can't send them all at once.

By the way, Lao Qi, you can bring another 100 people to meet these refugees. "

Zhou Laoqi nodded, and then walked towards the rear.

At the same time, a Ming army team wearing fiery red mandarin duck battle jackets was walking on a dilapidated official road full of loess roads.

The headed Baihuguan looked at the sun above his head, untied a water hyacinth filled with water from his waist, unplugged it, and gulped it down.

After a while, he wiped his mouth and hung the water hyacinth around his waist again, "Send the order to rest for a quarter of an hour. The weather is getting hotter and hotter now, so it's impossible not to take a good rest. By the way, it's time to rest." Pay attention to me at all times, there have been unscrupulous thieves coming to harass me these few days, you must be careful."

A soldier standing beside the Baihu officer cupped his hands at Baihu, and then walked back.

This team was the team that went to Dadu Town to collect refugees. This time they gathered more than 1 people, most of them were young and strong. Although their weapons were extremely fierce, it would never hurt to be careful.

At this moment, there was a ragged team behind a small hill not far from here. This team had about 3000 people, most of them were women, children, old and weak, and some even hugged each other. Baby doll.

"This Ming army is very weird. We followed them for such a long time, and even harassed them a few times, but the fart didn't work. I think we should stop beating this Ming army."

A big man with beards lying on the hillside watched for a long time, and then shrank behind the hillside.

He squatted on the ground, looking at the person in front of him, his face was full of worry.

"I don't agree with what you said. Although the weapons of this group of people are powerful, we have 3000 troops, while the Ming army has only a hundred or so. As long as we operate well, the refugees escorted by them will panic and attack. With their battle formation, maybe we really have a chance." A young man with a scar on his face said slowly, with a hint of greed shining in his eyes.

"The weapons in the hands of this group of Ming soldiers are very fierce. If we get these weapons in our hands, there will definitely be a place for us in the 36th Battalion."

"Hehe, but we have been harassed several times along the way, and they all repelled us. I think we should go."

The bearded man looked at Scar's face, his face was full of helplessness.

Although this group of thieves also crossed the Yellow River with Li Zicheng and the others, their strength was still far behind that of Li Zicheng and Gao Yingxiang. Because of their limited strength, these people could only rely on Li Zicheng and the others.

But people are ambitious, and these people are the same. They also want to drink like Li Zicheng and others, and eat meat in big bowls, so after they entered Shanxi, they broke away from Li Zicheng and others, and came out to work alone.

The most important thing to come out and do it alone is manpower. Without manpower, everything is nonsense.

So they set their sights on Dadu Town. After all, there are many refugees gathered in Dadu Town.

As long as these refugees are in the hands, the strength will increase greatly at that time. Although it is not as good as Li Zicheng's big bosses, it will be much better than before.

But just when they were about to attack Dadu Town, a well-equipped Ming army suddenly appeared, and the purpose of this group of Ming troops was the same as theirs, and the target was also these refugees.

But they didn't want to give up this hard-won opportunity, so they led their troops to attack the Ming army. However, the ideal was very good, but the reality was very bad. They didn't even touch the clothes of the Ming army, and they were beaten by these Ming army The scurry away.

Because it was necessary to collect as many refugees as possible, the soldiers who came to Dadu Town didn't pay attention to them at all. They simply used 56 and a half shots at them to drive them away.

Otherwise, even if there are several times more troops of this level, these soldiers are still worthy of them.

Except when they were in Dadu Town, when the soldiers escorted the refugees to Pingyang Mansion, this group of people followed them all the time and came out to harass them from time to time.

People often say, remember to eat but not fight, this group of thieves has this mentality, they were beaten several times by the Ming army, but they still didn't give up their idea.

"According to the previous harassments, this group of soldiers mainly escorted these refugees, and judging from the direction they were heading, they should be going to Pingyang Prefecture.

I really can't understand, there is still such a team in this world, and they even gather refugees. I have lived for such a long time, and this is the first time I have seen it. "The bearded man said with a puzzled look on his face.

Scarface looked at the bearded man, "Don't talk nonsense, I'll just ask you a question, do you still want to do it?"

"What? How sure are you? It's not like you haven't seen the strength of this group of Ming troops before, are you really not afraid of death?" Thinking of the terrifying weapons of this group of Ming troops, the bearded man felt scared for a while. .

They held weird firecrackers, stood far away and fired at them a few times, and then someone on their side was shot.

If it wasn't for Scarface's insistence on following this group of Ming soldiers, the bearded man would have led them away long ago.

"Their firecrackers are too terrifying. I think it's better to forget it. Let's just find a village and plunder all the people in it." The bearded man said to the scarred face.

"Hehe, your method is certainly safe, but have you ever thought that in this way, if we want to gather tens of thousands of people, we will have to wait until the year of the monkey. Now there are not only more than 1 refugees, but also so many weapons and equipment.

Not to mention the weird firecrackers in their hands, but also the armor on their bodies. If we get them, their strength will be much stronger.Let me ask you one last thing, are you going to do it or not? "

Scarface pointed at the bearded beard and asked angrily.

The bearded man shook his head, still looking cowardly, "I dare not, I think we'd better run, we are no match for this group of people at all."

Scarface is a very stubborn person, how could he listen to the bearded man?

"You don't dare? You don't dare to go by myself, but you have to know that if I succeed in this matter, I will have the final say on this team in the future, do you understand?" Scarface looked at Luoji Beard said angrily.

The bearded man nodded, and replied: "Okay, I will listen to you, as long as you can succeed, I will definitely listen to you in the future."

Scarface snorted coldly, then pulled out the long rusty long knife that had been seized from his waist, turned around, and said to the thief behind him.

"Do you want to drink and eat meat? Do you want to become a master? Do you want your wife and children to be on the bed? Let me tell you, there is a chance now. As long as you follow me, you will enjoy the glory and wealth. I heard that." No? Now. Go for me."

Scarface waved the long knife in his hand, and then led the troops towards Zhou Laoliu's soldiers at the bottom of the hillside.

Among the 3000 people, the elderly, weak, women and children who came from looting accounted for more than half. Seeing the crazy scarred face, these people were instantly at a loss.

If it weren't for Scarface's men to drive them away, it is estimated that these looting people would not care about them at all.

The Baihu officer, who was lying under the shade of a tree and dozing with his eyes squinted, stood up immediately after hearing the sound of their charge, and looked towards the hillside.

"Hehe, it's really lingering. I was in a hurry at the beginning, so I just drove you away, and I didn't bother to completely wipe you out. I didn't expect that you would dare to attack me, and this time I will kill you. All of you are pressing up, you are asking for your own death. Do you really think I dare not kill you?"

The Baihu officer sneered, and then said to the orderly next to him: "Order, all the 56 half-hands, the light machine gunners and the 40 firemen in the general will gather for me, and I will wipe out all these people today. .”

As soon as the hundred household officials finished speaking, the messenger rushed towards the rear.

A moment later, more than 100 people gathered directly in front of Baihu.

Baihu looked at the bandits who were about to enter the range, and said to the soldiers behind him: "Most of them are civilians, let's bring them closer, and finally put them within a hundred steps, then aim at the backbone of the bandits inside." Hit, do you hear that?"

"Follow your orders!"

Standing at the forefront, 56 half-hands and machine gunners looked at the bandits slowly approaching ahead, and shouted in a deep voice.

The machine gunner opened the bipod of the Type 56 light machine gun and propped it on the ground.

The soldier holding the 56 and a half was half kneeling on the ground, his eyes fixed on the front.

Scarface led several backbones in the center of the team, constantly driving the people away.

"Hurry up, hurry up, as long as you rush in, I will reward you a lot."

Scarface watched the distance continue to shorten, and his face showed a glow of excitement.

Baihu looked coldly at the rushing thief, constantly calculating the distance in his heart.

150 steps, 120 steps, [-] steps, [-] steps.

Baihu looked at the thief who had entered within a hundred steps, and shouted loudly: "Hit me!"

As soon as Baihu finished speaking, gunshots rang out endlessly.

The thief on the opposite side panicked instantly after hearing this voice.

Scarface slammed the knife in his hand on an old man who turned around and ran away, and kept cursing: "You old man, don't rush in for me, why are you running?"

"Brothers, rush for me, as long as you rush over, I will reward you a lot."

Scarface raised the knife in his hand high and roared towards the front.

At this moment, a bullet shining with metallic light came towards Scarface with a cracking sound.

"Oh!"

A dull sound sounded, and a thumb-thick hole appeared on Scarface's forehead, and his forehead sank inward.

A cloud of blood flashed across the back of his head, and his brain sprayed out directly.

Scarface's eyes gradually lost their energy, and their pupils continued to dilate.

"Pfft!"

Scarface fell directly to the ground, and blood continued to flow out from the hole in his head.

Not only Scarface, but many backbones of the Rogue team were hit, and they kept falling to the ground.

"Run, these turtles want us to die, run quickly."

A young woman with a child in her arms looked at the fallen person in front of her, screamed and ran to the back.

A thief is a thief, no matter how many people there are, or how arrogant he is, he is just a paper tiger after all, it can be broken with a single poke.

In just one face-to-face meeting, each 56 and a half hands only fired two or three shots, and these people were defeated.

The whole charging team of thieves ran straight to the rear, for fear that they would be left behind.

Baihu looked at the group of thieves who were pissed off, and spit thick phlegm on the ground.

"Hey, this time again, if I have cavalry in my hand, I will definitely wipe out all of you."
