mage in the late qing dynasty

Chapter 776: One shot and no sound

The passers-by were quite worried, with worried faces on their faces: "Oh, this world..."

Zhao Chuanxin chuckled: "I'm a good drinker. If I drink less than one drink, I can't even move my legs. If I drink less than one drink, I won't even pay for it. I have to go to Delong Shaoguo and buy two kilograms of soju."

Passerby: "..."

Wherever there is danger, you go there, right?

They all say that it is hard to persuade a damn ghost with good words. The passerby did not even try to persuade him. He just said: "If you have to go, my uncle is at Delong Keguo and watch the gate. Please give me a message."

"What?"

"While you're drinking, go home now. He has no children, and he can't die before he tells me where he is with the little money he hid."

"..." Zhao Chuanxin was speechless: "Yes, I will definitely advise him when I see him. Sometimes money has to be put into the coffin."

Passerby: "..."

……

At this time, the area outside the Guan was different from that of later generations. There were pastures in many places, which were also a paradise for shepherds.

At this time, Zhang Zuolin was at a loss and frowning.

When he was young, his skin was in good condition, fair and delicate, and many people commented on his elegant temperament.

But at this time, his face was chapped in many places, his lips were bursting with skin, there were several vertical cuts, and there were dried blood scabs on them.

The condition of those hands was particularly bad. The texture on the fingers was dark and could no longer be cleaned. There were also small cuts that could not be healed even with badger seed oil.

Even he is like this, let alone his soldiers.

This is why the soldiers led by Zhang Zuolin were often on the march, causing trouble for the local people. They complained to Xu Shichang, and Xu Shichang even supported him and defended him at the court.

Xu Shichang wrote in an excerpt submitted to the court: Wherever the horse bandits passed, the roads were blocked by ice and snow, and there were only a few people. The Mongolian bandits were helped by Mongolian people, and they changed their horses and rode on them. They wandered far away from the border areas and wandered among them. It was difficult for Zhang Xingjun to provide food and grass, and he was driven out for a long time. The soldiers were not full, and they slept in the cold forest, eating snow, and more than [-] soldiers had their skin cracked and their fingers broken...

In fact, it is quite miserable. Boss Zhang climbed up step by step and paid a lot of price. People usually only see his deeds after his glory. This is an example of grassroots struggle in the late Qing Dynasty. If you study it carefully, it is quite inspiring...

As for the suppression of bandits last year and this year, he has been accompanying the army. Sometimes he has to take the lead in tough battles, at least to show off his appearance to boost morale. There is no shortage of bullets, rain, food and dew.

He led his troops to pursue Tao Ketaohu, Baiyin Dalai and Yashi for hundreds of miles. When they arrived outside the Delong Shaoguo Courtyard, they were already exhausted.

The wall of Delong Shaoguo is quite high, and the horse bandits are trying to avoid it, making the situation very difficult.

Such a pursuit would definitely not be carried out with artillery. Just rapid fire would require a strong attack regardless of casualties.

After firing dozens of shots, Zhang Zuolin waved his hand: "Taoke, Tao, Hu and others are trapped. The whole army will take a rest and attack later."

Is there any point in shooting like this? Do the bullets flying into the sky fall down and kill the bandits in the courtyard?

Hearing the strong attack, his men were a little frightened.

But the expression on his face was numb.

When Zhang Zuolin came out, he brought more than [-] troops.

After chasing for hundreds of miles, now there are only a thousand people left, and they are about to attack again...

……

Inside the Delong Shaoguo compound.

To say that Zhang Zuolin was in a miserable state, Tao Ketaohu and Baiyin Dalai were not much better.

All the Mongolian bandits had a look of fear on their faces.

They could hear the whispers outside the wall discussing how to deal with them. They could even see the white breath of their breath and hear the snorting of the horses.

Burning your eyebrows with fire is not enough to describe the anxiety in your heart at this time.

Tao Ke Tao Hu stuffed his mouth with dried meat that was as hard as stone, but it tasted like chewing wax: "Ugly dogtail grass, this is going to kill all the heroes on the grassland."

He calls himself a hero of the grassland, and is also regarded as a hero of the grassland by some Mongolian people. Over time, he really believes it to be true.

Baiyin Dalai sighed: "Yes, even a villain like Wu Datou, who was a horse dealer in the early years, can now lead an army to chase us."

Wu Datongue is Wu Junsheng, who later became the governor of Heilongjiang and is still Zhang Zuolin's subordinate.

Black Tiger spat: "We still don't know who will win. I am here in this high-walled compound. Even if there are no bullets, I will kill Zhang Zuolin with a bow and arrow."

In addition to being good at equestrian skills, there are also many Mongolian bandits who know how to ride and shoot.

This is also the main reason why they can still deal with the officers and soldiers even though they have run out of ammunition and food.

Taoke Taohu's son had a look of fear on his face, but he didn't dare to speak.

He is afraid of death.

If surrendering could save his life, he really wanted to go out and surrender.

But it is obvious that the people here have formed a sworn relationship with Zhang Zuolin, and they will never surrender.

Chuan Dilong seemed to sense the inner fear of Tao Ke Tao Hu's son, and looked at him with a half-smile.

Yashi was the only one here who didn't speak. He was staring at a woman who was imprisoned here after they broke into Delong's cooking pot.

I don’t know whose mother-in-law she is. Although she is unkempt, her butt is very big and tight.

When Yashi heard the words of one of his own who seemed to be fearless, but was actually fierce and cruel, thinking about the situation outside being surrounded by a large army, he felt a karmic fire in his heart.

He had an ominous premonition that he was going to stumble this time.

Damn it, why don’t you have a good time before you die?

Thinking about it, he stood up, walked towards the woman, and pulled her up.

The woman screamed, and her man looked on anxiously, but he didn't dare to speak.

Anyone who dares to resist has been killed by these horse bandits.

Yashi slapped his hand and said, "Shut up."

The women were mainly afraid, but they were so scared that they didn't faint.

Tao Ketao frowned slightly when he saw Hu, but didn't say anything.

Black Tiger and the others had lewd smiles on their faces.

……

Zhao Chuanxin saw an old man sitting on a tree stump near the Delong Pot-shaking Courtyard.

The old man was smoking his pipe.

Zhao Chuanxin stopped, took out his cigarette and lit it, and sat on the ground opposite the old man: "Old man, what's going on ahead?"

There was an empty wine cup in front of the old man, and he was puffing away the welding smoke and said, "What's going on? Let's fight."

"If you don't run far away during the war, you don't even have peanuts, so why are you drinking?"

"Hey, when people walk in the world, the leaves are still very light and they are still smashed on the head. Before dark, they are fish belly white, and when they wake up early, they are still fish belly white. What's so scary? It's a pity that before I was kicked out, I only had time to pour a cup of wine. Fortunately, my hands No shaking, no spilling.”

"..." Zhao Chuanxin thought of something: "Having no children, no daughters, no worries?"

The old man nodded: "That's right, no one cares about me when I'm alive, and no one buries me when I'm dead. Look at this mountain god pier, I can sit at ease. If you have money, you need three dishes to eat. There are three gods and four ghosts. I That’s the seat of the gods.”

Niubi big hair.

The so-called mountain god pier is a tabletop-thick tree stump cut in the forest. People cannot sit on it to rest after going up the mountain, because it has been pre-selected by the mountain god. People have laid out food and wine, so what if you just sit on it?

The old man doesn't care about this.

Zhao Chuanxin bared his teeth and said happily: "I met your eldest nephew on the road and asked you to go home quickly and tell him where the money is hidden. Others have lost it and the money has not been found yet."

"How much money do you have? You've already given me the money to buy wine. Don't think that you can cook and drink here in Delong without spending any money. He won't let me take care of myself until the end of my life, so I'll have enough money to keep him alive!"

"Haha..." Zhao Chuanxin stood up and took out a fused quartz glass bottle: "This is the Tongsheng Jin Shaoguo from Liaodi. If you just drink it, there will be no food to go with the wine."

Everyone else felt strange when they saw Zhao Chuanxin wearing armor. Only the old man looked indifferent.

It was only at this moment that he looked at him seriously and smiled toothlessly: "Young man, my nephew has never bought me a sip of wine. For the sake of your wine, I will tell you where the money is hidden." You, take it and leave as soon as possible."

Zhao Chuanxin was surprised: "What, you can't live without the money?"

"The guys at Delong Shaoguo Compound, they treat me better than my nephew. I can't leave. I'll worry about the commander's borrowed cannon later. I have to fight the horse bandits to rescue them. I'm afraid I won't see the sun tomorrow." It’s a waste, there’s no use keeping those few pennies!”

Zhao Chuanxin gave a thumbs up.

Ignoring the old man and not listening to where he buried his money, he walked straight towards the Delong Pot-shaking Courtyard.

The old man uncorked the bottle, took a sip from the wine bottle, and followed swayingly behind.

……

At this time, Zhang Zuolin had already ordered a strong attack.

They had no ladders and had to use human ladders.

But the height of the wall means that even if you use a ladder, you still have to climb up.

The person on top must have sufficient arm strength to climb.

Only twenty-three out of ten people can successfully climb the wall.

The soldiers here just showed up, and the gunshots in the courtyard were like popping beans.

bang bang bang...

Accompanied by the "whooshing" sound of the arrows, the soldiers who climbed to the top of the city were knocked over and rolled down the high wall.

Morale was low for a while, and the soldiers began to act perfunctorily.

On the contrary, the horse bandits in the courtyard cheered.

When Zhang Zuolin saw it, he bit his lip tightly. The mouth burst, and the smell of blood hit his taste buds.

He turned back and looked at his general.

Wu Junsheng lowered his head slightly, unable to move anymore.

The leader, Cai Yongzhen, gritted his teeth and said, "Commander, I would like to go up first in hand-to-hand combat."

Zhang Zuolin smiled bitterly: "Okay, I will credit you with success!"

What else could it be? Now that the matter was over, he was sent to climb the wall in person.

Cai Yongzhen went into battle and climbed the wall himself. After successfully climbing up, he fired a shot into the courtyard.

Screams could be heard immediately from the courtyard.

The officers and soldiers in each battalion were refreshed upon hearing this.

Since even Shangguan is not afraid of death, what else can they say? let's go.

So Aoao charged with chicken blood.

At this time, the pressure on the bandits in the Delong Shaoguo Compound increased sharply.

Taoke Taohu and others calculated that they would be besieged to death sooner or later, so it was better to escape with all their strength and count as many as they could get away.

So the question is, since you have decided to run, who will go first, who will be in the middle, and who will be behind?

After finishing the meal happily, I also drank some aged wine produced by Delong Shaoguo, and my face turned red.

In the past, he may not have dared to stand out, but everyone reacts differently to pressure. Under the huge threat of death, Yashi seemed to be breaking the pot, and waved his hand: "Everyone, go, I will come to the rear."

Hei Hu was impulsive. Hearing this, he also said boldly: "In that case, I will charge and lead the charge!"

Now that we've reached this point, it doesn't really matter. If you stretch your head or shrink it, you might get stabbed.

So he opened the back door and rushed out.

Zhang Zuolin is under siege, how can he let go of the back door?

Those who had just come out were immediately shot to death. Black Tiger only rode ten meters away when he was hit in the chest and ribs by two thousand men and fell off the horse.

His men dispersed in droves, which would increase their chances of escaping, and they could not be concentrated and used as living targets.

By escaping, they have escaped from experience and have gotten rid of the human instinct to stick together in times of crisis.

The second wave of charge was Taoke Taohu. Why he rushed out in the second wave was mainly to give his son a chance to survive, so that his son could follow the earth-piercing dragon and escape in the third wave, which was relatively safe.

Maybe God really took care of him and he escaped.

However, as Cai Yongzhen climbed the wall, the officers and soldiers became more and more courageous, and more and more people were admitted to the hospital, dragging Chuandilong and the others back.

Of course, the biggest reason is the lack of ammunition on the horse bandits' side.

The gunfire never stopped, the bullets had no eyes, and there was a lot of blood. The battle was very fierce.

Zhang Zuolin's five internal organs were destroyed. After this battle, how many of these thousands of people will be left?

It's really unknown.

He is also distressed.

But his face was very cold, showing no joy or anger.

I was anxious when suddenly someone tapped me on the shoulder.

Zhang Zuolin was startled, turned his head suddenly, and then his eyes widened.

"Zhao, Zhao, Mr. Zhao..."

He never expected to see Zhao Chuanxin here.

And what about Zhao Chuanxin?

It was almost unrecognizable that the person in front of him was Zhang Zuolin.

This thing is too miserable.

"Lao Zhang, the fight was quite lively, wasn't it?" Zhao Chuanxin bared his teeth and said.

He naturally had no good impression of the horse bandits, but he also had no intention of helping the officers and soldiers.

Just for fun.

Looking at the shaved Zhao Chuanxin, Zhang Zuolin smiled bitterly: "Mr. Zhao's style is still the same."

I'm afraid he looks even younger.

The old man staggered closer and said, "General, please give me a gun. I will go with the officers and soldiers to save people."

"Nonsense." Zhang Zuolin was not polite to others. He winked at the guard, who then took the old man aside.

Who the hell wants to save people? I want to arrest the culprits.

When the old man saw that he refused, he sighed.

At this moment, the front door of Delong Shaoguo Compound also opened, and several waiters dragged a woman and rushed out in a hail of bullets.

Originally, at this time, Zhang Zuolin didn't care about the life and death of the people at all.

But when he glanced at Zhao Chuanxin from the corner of his eye, he still ordered his guards to pick up a few common people.

Zhao Chuanxin squinted his eyes and found that there was a pair of scissors stuck in the woman's belly and she was still breathing.

With tears streaming from her eyes, she explained to her boss: "That horse bandit has defiled me. It's meaningless for me to live. It's an embarrassment to you..."

"Hey... you, you..."

Although her husband was sad, he couldn't say anything else. He seemed to be in a dilemma. On the one hand, he couldn't let go of his wife, but on the other hand, he felt that what his wife said was reasonable.

If you are still alive, what will your relatives, friends and neighbors think about you in the future? He shouldn't be a coward for the rest of his life and have his spine stabbed? Is this considered cuckolding?

Zhao Chuanxin was very angry.

He raised his hand and slapped him away.

Snapped……

The man staggered from being slapped.

"You, why did you hit me?"

"You're a waste!" Zhao Chuanxin yelled.

He didn't have any healing leaves. Even if he did, it wasn't a panacea. He didn't know if the woman had punctured her spleen.

Zhao Chuanxin thought for a moment, and although he didn't have the healing leaves, he did have the vitality spring water.

Because the vitality spring water, when drunk normally, will evaporate as soon as it enters the mouth and has no effect at all. It must be cooperated with the compliments of Lord Runzhi.

But there was particle flow in Lord Runzhi's greeting. Zhao Chuanxin had never used it before because he was worried about crushing his own internal organs.

Later, when the Starry Sky Root evolved, he could allow the Starry Sky Root to absorb most of the particle flow, but there were still a few left.

It just so happens that I will be a living doctor for this woman today and try it out.

He waved his hand: "Get out of my way."

Some of the guys didn't move.

Zhao Chuanxin's eyes narrowed: "You spicy guy, get out of here!"

Several people were frightened by Zhao Chuanxin's eyes and moved away.

Normally, you cannot pull out the knife when you are stabbed, but Zhao Chuanxin pulled out the scissors first. The woman groaned in pain, and the bleeding from the wound intensified.

Zhao Chuanxin took out a small bottle of vitality spring water and poured it into her mouth.

The woman felt that her throat was deformed, there was a burst of pain, and blood rushed to her head.

Then came the stomachache.

That's what particle flow does.

But immediately, the warmth dissipated, and the abdominal wound no longer hurt so much.

Zhao Chuanxin noticed that there was blood on her face, so he asked her, "Did the horse bandits do it?"

The woman nodded weakly: "It's a person named Yashna..."

What?

Zhao Chuanxin sneered.

This name almost sounds like cocoon, and one of the most popular ones recently is Ya Shi.

If these people had not caused harm to the people, he might have stood by and watched today.

He straightened up and glanced at Zhang Zuolin: "Tell your men to withdraw."

"This..." Zhang Zuolin hesitated.

He had worked so hard to get here, and he was just waiting to be promoted to a higher rank after this battle to increase his power.

But don't fall short.

Zhao Chuanxin narrowed his eyes: "Huh?"

Zhang Zuolin remembered the fear of being dominated by Zhao Chuanxin in the past, and quickly waved his hand: "Order to withdraw the troops."

Wu Junsheng was stunned.

I'm going to blanch...who is this person? In just one sentence, Commander Zhang was asked to Guan Guan Mingjin to withdraw his troops?

It's simply easier than Governor Xu.

Zhao Chuanxin twisted his neck and stepped onto the Misty Traveler to start running, his brown cloak raised.

When he came to the high wall, he bent down, took off and put away the Misty Traveler at the same time, and jumped directly over the high wall with the help of inertia.

Zhang Zuolin, Wu Junsheng, the old man, the gang of clerks, guards and others were stunned.

The two of them worked together to build a ladder, which was too high to climb up. Zhao Chuanxin not only jumped over it, but when he climbed over it, he was still one or two meters higher than the wall...

chug chug...

Suddenly, an unusual burst of gunfire rang out in the yard.

It's not as violent as a heavy machine gun, but it's definitely not a fast gun that fires once the bolt is pulled.

There were also various exclamations mixed in among them.

There are officers and soldiers here, as well as horse bandits.

The old man suddenly broke away from the guard and ran towards the door of Delong Pot-shaking Courtyard.

Zhang Zuolin hesitated and looked at Wu Junsheng: "Go and see what's going on..."

Wu Junsheng was reluctant, and at the same time he was filled with curiosity.

With mixed emotions, he cautiously approached the door.

courtyard.

Zhao Chuanxin emptied the magazine of the Ares M1907, first shocked the people inside and let the officers and soldiers understand whether they were enemies or friends, then put away the Ares M1907, Miao Dao in his left hand, and Lugang M1907 in the right.

Burst, burst, burst, change shooting position, backhand without looking back.

The Miao knife was embedded in the horse bandit's eye socket. Zhao Chuanxin did not pull it out. He let go, jumped forward, put his right foot on the man's neck and pushed him down.

The joints explode and click...

Falling to the ground was also the moment when the horse bandit's spine broke.

bang bang bang...

Zhao Chuanxin transformed into an arc-shaped fan and fired accurately, focusing on one shot without making a sound.

The officers and soldiers in Delong Shaoguo Compound were dumbfounded.

Can we still fight like this?

There were too many people and limited space, so Zhao Chuanxin couldn't move around as much as he wanted.

At this time, a horse bandit took a quick rifle and shot at Zhao Chuanxin.

Zhao Chuanxin turned sideways and dodged.

Even with heavy protection, he didn't want to get beaten. If you take too many hits, your armor and body armor will wear out.

In this kind of terrain, he can actually use the Elf Carving Knife to kill faster.

But ever since he learned that Japan and Russia had put aside their hatred and prepared to join forces to deal with him, he had consciously tried to restrain himself from using some killer weapons, so that the enemy could meet love around the corner at the critical moment... He also had a big killer weapon that he had never used.

But the officers and soldiers were confused.

Hide...escape?

Zhao Chuanxin made a backhand, as if he didn't need to look, and sent the last bullet to the shooter.

boom.

After a good sleep, I fell asleep.

After getting the helmet, he opened up a God's perspective to a certain extent.

How embarrassing would it be to shoot back?

Zhao Chuanxin saw a young horse bandit who seemed to be frightened. He pulled out the Miao knife that had been inserted into his eye socket and walked towards him.

The young horse bandit shouted: "Don't kill me, my father is Tao..."

"Your father, the Heavenly King, has a few more..."

As Zhao Chuanxin waved his hand, the big head soared into the sky!
