Late Qing Dynasty Executioner

Chapter 108 Jianrui Battalion

Without the threat of the cannon, Chen Gu reappeared to see if there was any bargain to be made. He still had two detonators and five bullets left. Although he could not kill many people, it was good to relieve some pressure on Yunhua.

Compared to Chen Gu's cautiousness, Lao Piao was much more aggressive. He rushed out directly with a pure iron gun weighing twenty or thirty kilograms.

Chen Gu had no choice but to grit his teeth and rush out. With Lao Piao in front to protect him, Chen Gu would not be directly threatened, so he wanted to help him.

As a result, as soon as Lao Piao rushed to the gap in the wall, he let out a strange cry and hid to the remaining wall next to him.

Chen Gu cursed inwardly, rushed to the other side, rolled over and hid behind the wall on the other side.

"Boom, crackle!"

A cannonball flew in from the gap, and at the same time several lead bullets hit the bricks on the bedroom wall and splashed them. If the two men had not dodged, they would have been hit by the lead bullets even if they had not been hit by the cannonball.

"Don't be so reckless!" Chen Gu couldn't help but scold Lao Piao.

Lao Piao grinned and said with a smile: "How would I know that the other party has no moral principles?"

"You stay here, I'll go out from the back and take a look!" Chen Gu stood up and ran towards the bedroom. When he was almost near the bedroom, he was shot in the back, but the bullet was hit by his bulletproof vest. Chen Gu staggered and rolled into the room, and then came to the room on the mountain village side.

After a careful check, Chen Gu found that there was no one here. He also couldn't understand why the stronghold here had not been discovered since Liu Er was in trouble. There was obviously a door connecting the two sides, and there was no cover-up.

There may be something unknown here.

It is actually very difficult to say whether the White Lotus Sect, the mountain strongholds, the imperial court, and the ten major clans of Jiangjin are friends or enemies. Moreover, the status of friends and enemies is not static and may even change at any time.

Chen Gu opened the gate on this side and just poked his head out carefully, he saw Wang Wu, Lao Nian and two brothers coming over. He couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and waved to Lao Nian with his head exposed. After Lao Nian led the others in, he asked, "What's the situation outside?"

"Everything is under control now. The troops led by Yunhua have all entered the city safely. However, it caused quite a commotion at the time. Some civilians were arrested and many were trampled and injured.

After we entered the city, we immediately contacted our brothers in the city. When we learned that Shaoshantou had already started fighting with the enemy, we immediately rushed over to support them. At the same time, we also arranged for snipers to occupy the nearby high ground.

For the time being, this area is under our control!" said Lao Nian.

Chen Gu nodded and asked, "How many troops does the other side have?"

"There were about two hundred at the beginning, but we caught the enemy off guard and killed forty or fifty of them. We should have killed dozens more this time. There are probably only about a hundred left. As for how many people the enemy is hiding, we don't know!" said Lao Nian.

Chen Gu thought for a moment and said, "Laopiao and I killed or injured about a hundred people. This is the Jianrui Battalion, the most elite troops of the imperial court. There are only about two to three thousand people in total, and another one thousand are from the navy. It is impossible that there are more than a thousand people here. It is even possible that there are only these three hundred people!"

Chen Gu had naturally heard of the Jianrui Battalion, the court's top fighting force, and had firmly memorized their troop deployment, equipment, and training.

The Manchus actually only had 300 to 500 people, and the core Eight Banners soldiers actually only had 200,000. The main force of the world's troops was actually the Han Green Camp, otherwise Kangxi would not have hidden things like the sub-cannon. In fact, the Qing Dynasty could rely on cold weapons to maintain its rule by relying on fast swords, war horses, thick armor, strong bows and ferocity. If it was replaced with hot weapons that could be quickly mastered, the Han people's numerical advantage would be too great.

Chen Gu looked at the darkening sky and said, "Let's go, take me to see Yunhua!"

"I want to stay!" said Wang Wu.

Thinking of Liu Er in the room, Chen Gu sighed and said, "Okay, you and these two brothers should stay here and take good care of yourself. By the way, where are your family members?"

"I moved away at the beginning, otherwise I wouldn't be able to get on the road." Wang Wu said.

"Take care!" Chen Gu didn't say anything else and left quickly with Lao Nian.

Not long after, Chen Gu met Yunhua, and understood why he and Lao Piao were hit by a cannonball and several lead bullets as soon as they went out.

Because Yunhua actually planned to wipe out the entire Jianrui Battalion, he adopted a two-way encirclement fighting method, and at this time he had forced the remaining soldiers of the Jianrui Battalion into Wang Wu's home.

"Stop it!" Yunhua was very happy to see that Chen Gu was safe and sound. After all, everything he had was given by Chen Gu. If anything happened to Chen Gu, he would be finished.

Even though Yunhua controls the most powerful special forces company, a force is not just about military force. Logistics is the most important. For example, this time when two hundred people entered the city, each member of the special forces company actually only had twenty rounds of bullets, while the sniper had thirty rounds.

The ones with the most were Chen Gu, Lao Piao and Yun Hua, but they only had fifty bullets. After an intense battle, Chen Gu and Lao Piao, for example, had used up all their ammunition.

Rifles are indeed powerful, but a rifle without ammunition is not as useful as a cold weapon even if it is equipped with a bayonet.

"You fought well." Chen Gu patted Yunhua on the shoulder and continued, "But next time, remember to surround three sides and leave one side open, so that the enemy has a chance to survive. Chasing is definitely easier than fighting.

Especially with the cooperation of our snipers, if we let these people escape, we can easily annihilate them. As for the few people who escape, it will not affect the overall situation. "

"I know I was wrong. Please punish me, Young Master!" Yunhua said with some shame.

"It's good to know your mistakes and correct them. There is no need to talk about punishment. We have never fought in a war, so it is inevitable to make mistakes. However, we must understand that we are the commanders, so we have to be responsible for our brothers.

If one general is not good, the whole army will be exhausted. Therefore, we should read more, learn more, and think more, and try to achieve greater success at the lowest cost. We don't have much time, so let the brothers use bombs and detonators to attack. "Chen Gu said.

As countless bombs and detonators poured out, even the enemy's Jianrui Battalion collapsed. The enemy used cannons to blast two gaps in the back wall. Everyone fled in a swarm, but what was waiting for them were sniper bullets.

Dozens of people ran out, but only one in ten survived.

"Finish off the enemy, clean up the battlefield, pick up all the shells, take away the enemy's two cannons and the corresponding ammunition, and abandon the rest."
