Chapter 1409 Simple and rude (second update, please subscribe)
Three people died!
For Douglas Jr., it was the death of his friend Tom that pained him the most.

"Why, why are we leaving, we can still fight..."

asked Douglas Jr. again on the way home.

"If you keep fighting, we will all die!"

Pipe in hand, Searle said as he walked.

"We are militiamen. What is our mission? It's just a few shots. There is no need to confront them head-on. Those Ming people are soldiers, and they are best at fighting. If we continue to fight, we will all die. We just need to Just kill a few of them."

When Seale's words fell, Sheriff Willy shouted not far away.

"Sill, you guys will cut down the trees on the side of the road, don't let them pass easily..."

This is the role of the militia. In the early days of the Revolutionary War, although there was no unified commander, thousands of militiamen spontaneously appeared on the "battlefield". They would shoot a few bullets at the marching British. I thought I had completed my mission and went home.

With the addition of later commanders, the militia gradually found a way to defeat the British army. They cut down trees, set up roadblocks, fortified the walls and cleared the fields, cut off the British army's communication lines to make it difficult to move, and then took advantage of their unpreparedness to carry out surprise attacks.

When the strength is not strong enough, these guerrilla fighters try to avoid fighting with the British army. When they are strong enough, they will join the regular army and attack the British army together.

Now these local militiamen are doing the same thing. Even on the way to retreat, they once again ambushed the marching troops with rifles hundreds of miles away, and then fled through the dense forest without giving the troops any counterattack or even fighting. Chance to chase.

After the car stopped, Xu Guoliang once again saw the body waiting to be evacuated by the side of the road.

There are six of them.

"Guerrillas again?"

After getting out of the car, Xu Guoliang asked the soldiers on duty.

"Yes, those guerrillas. They have learned to be good now. They don't ambush at close range, but at least one mile away. A few people will run away with a single shot. When our people rush over, there will be no one left. I don't know where the hell I ran to..."

When mentioning those guerrillas, the soldier couldn't help but sarcastically.

"What the hell are a bunch of cowards, those who have the ability to fight with real guns and swords..."

Regarding the soldiers' complaints, Xu Guoliang didn't say anything, but asked about the situation when the attack happened in detail, and then got into the car again.

"Captain, tell me, what's the use of Americans shooting east and west? Can it affect the overall situation?"

What the deputy said made Xu Guoliang laugh.

"Two hours."

"what?"

"These few shots came, not to mention the casualties. A regiment spent two hours here, and then moved forward after confirming that there was no ambush. It took two hours for a regiment. If the execution of the combat mission is two hours late, you Say what will happen?"

Sitting in the car, staring at the high mountains and deep forest outside the car window, Xu Guoliang frowned, and then said to himself.

"The terrain here is more conducive to the resistance of the guerrillas..."

As an officer of the Imperial Gendarmerie, Xu Guoliang once participated in the war in southern Africa as a volunteer. He is well aware of the impact of guerrilla resistance on the regular army. They may not affect the overall situation, but they are definitely a stumbling block!

Since it is a stumbling block, it must be removed!

"Look at the guerrillas captured or killed in that unit. Check their personal belongings, look for clues of resistance..."

When talking, he leaned against the back of the car seat, and then pulled down the brim of his hat. As for whether he was sleeping or thinking about problems, he said to himself.

"They thought they had escaped, so they ran away... they can run away from the monk, but not from the temple!"

Two days later, almost at the same time when Douglas Jr. and Searle returned home, a group of Ming troops entered the town, but they did not break into the homes of ordinary people, but went to the church.

This day is Sunday.

When the soldiers stepped into the church, the people who were praying were all surprised. Amidst the commotion of the people, Xu Guoliang walked in slowly.Under the gaze of the people, the priest Marklian greeted him.

"Hello, sir, I am the priest of this church, what can I do for you?"

He didn't say that this is a church, soldiers can't come in with weapons, saying these things to the intruders, isn't it courting death.

"It's nothing, Father, I'm a believer too."

Xu Guoliang made a sign of the cross on his chest, and said.

"I'm here this time to find some people."

Then he turned around.Look at the men and women in the church, young and old.This is the advantage of being here. On Sundays, you can find almost all locals in the church.

When he was looking at the people in the church, and the people in the church were also looking at him, everyone felt strange and afraid of this group of foreign soldiers who "broke" in, but this did not prevent people from watching curiously. This army.

"Gentlemen and ladies, you should know why I am here."

"Sir..."

Ignoring Father Mark's words, Xu Guoliang took something out of his pocket, stretched his arm forward, and when he let go of his palm, a necklace fell down.

It is a silver necklace with a heart-shaped photo box below it.

"what!"

Mary in the crowd couldn't help screaming, it was Ciri's, her husband, and there were photos of her and the child in the necklace photo box.

"found it."

Xu Guoliang walked to the woman with a smile on his face.

"Ma'am, this is yours!"

While speaking, he stuffed the necklace into the woman's hand and said to her.

"Please, ma'am, we can go out and talk."

"Sir, she's a lady!"

As soon as Father Mark's words fell, Xu Guoliang said coldly.

"She's the wife of the Resistance, Father. I've had enough patience with you, with all of you!"

After finishing speaking, he glanced around at the people in the church and gestured please to Mary.

Mary was found!

What will she say?
Seale, Douglas Jr. and others all looked nervously at Mary, watching her walk out of the church with the child in her arms.

On the grass outside the church, Xu Guoliang looked at the nervous woman in front of him, then at the child in her arms, and asked softly.

"Ma'am, where is your husband?"

"He, he went out..."

Mary replied nervously.

"Indeed, he did go out, and never came back, he is dead, killed in an attack on the imperial army!"

When Xu Guoliang was speaking, he touched the child's hair with his hand and said softly.

"Now, you are the wife of the resistance, we will arrest you, we will take you far away for interrogation, of course, in the end we will find out that you did not participate in the resistance, but it's nothing, we don't care about it, Or, I don't know what you will say, you will be released, well, at that time, you find yourself in a foreign country, where, penniless, how will you make a living? Without any People hire you, you don't have any means of making a living, you may become a prostitute, of course, in order to survive, this is not shameful, but in the end, you will die miserably on the street, um, your child..."

Seeing the terrified woman, Xu Guoliang continued.

"Where will she be? On the streets like you? Or..."

"First, sir, I don't know, I don't know..."

The terrified look of the woman made Xu Guoliang smile.

"You have a choice, tell me who left here with your husband at the time, all I need are a few names..."

"Sir, I don't know, I really don't know..."

When Mary shook her head, Xu Guoliang sighed.

"Madam, you still have another chance, I hope you can cherish this chance, after all, your child..."

Seeing the child in her arms, Xu Guoliang said.

"Is she a year old? What will happen to him if he leaves you?"

"Oh God, you, you are the devil, you, you..."

Mary hugged the baby tightly, as if she was afraid that the other party would snatch it, she cried and looked at the other party, this person is the devil.

"I need a name!"

There was no emotion in Xu Guoliang's tone.

"A name can save both of you! Not only you, but also your child."

Sometimes, the interrogation is very simple, and it doesn't even require too much words. It only needs to understand the other party's weakness, and it will naturally pay off.

Holding the child tightly, Mary despaired.

"Sy, Syl..."
