Late Qing Dynasty Executioner

Chapter 112 Casualties
Because Chen Gu was the first to rush out, he was also the first to rush in front of Lao Piao and Delentang. Seeing that Delentang had not yet climbed up, he raised the bayonet in his hand and stabbed it at Delentang's neck.

Chen Gu was wearing a bulletproof vest, while Jianruiying had three layers of armor on them: a layer of cotton armor inside, a layer of iron armor in the middle, and a layer of leather armor outside. Such defense was actually impossible to penetrate.

If you want to assassinate effectively, you can only stab the opponent's few exposed parts, among which the face and neck are the most deadly places.

Seeing the bayonet coming at him, Delentang quickly dodged to the side. Chen Gu stabbed Delentang on the brim of his hat. Although he felt it penetrated, Chen Gu knew that it did not pierce at all.

"What the hell!"

Chen the Executor could not help but curse out loud, because the brim of Delentang's hat was actually made of gold and silver threads. However, Chen the Executor stabbed with all his strength, and although he did not pierce the brim of the hat, the huge force still caused Delentang's head to hit the ground heavily.

Delentang felt dizzy for a moment. He couldn't understand how the other person, who was so small, could have such great strength.

Unfortunately, Chen Gu did not have the chance to stab a second time, because the other cavalrymen of Jianrui Battalion rushed to him. Although he avoided the fallen Delentang, Chen Gu was still within the attack range of the other side's spears.

Seeing the opponent's spear stabbing at him, Chen Gu decisively let go of the rifle in his hand, then turned around to avoid the opponent's thrust. At the moment the opponent put away his gun, he grabbed the opponent's spear and pulled it without actually pulling the opponent off the horse.

Chen Gu realized that his strength was still too weak. After rolling over to avoid the second spear, he instantly pulled out the dagger on his leggings, turned around to avoid the third spear, and slashed the opponent's horse's belly with his knife.

The third horse's stomach burst and its intestines were exposed.

However, Chen Gu was stabbed in the stomach by the fourth horse's spear. Fortunately, his bulletproof vest blocked the stabbing, but Chen Gu was still knocked more than ten feet away and then fell heavily to the ground.

The sound of rifles crackling rang out!

Seeing more than a dozen of his own men falling to the ground, Chen Gu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and continued to fight despite the tremendous pain as if his whole body was falling apart.

It was only two or three seconds, but it made Chen Gu feel like the day was a year. It was as if time had slowed down in the moment of life and death.

The stress of experiencing several death threats per second is simply too much.

If it weren't for the fighting spirit and instinct that Chen Gu had honed in the hail of bullets in his previous life, he might have died several times in the instant just now.

In one round of charge, there were only about thirty cavalrymen on the enemy side, and only Delentang fell down, and his injury was not serious. Among the twenty people on our side, only three were lucky enough to stand, and the life or death of the fallen people was unpredictable.

Even Lao Piao spat out blood after he stood up with the spear. It was not clear whether he was stabbed or not.

But in the end, their side won, because one round of rifle fire from the roof killed more than half of the enemy.

They turned their horses around and charged again, and there was definitely enough time for them to shoot again from the roof.

So Delentang shouted in despair: "Run, don't worry about me, run!"

Chen Gu endured the great pain all over his body, smiled, and walked towards his rifle while proudly saying to Delentang: "With you, the commander, here, do they dare to run?"

"I will kill you!" Delentang struggled to get up with his fat body, but as soon as he got up, he was stabbed in the back by a flying spear and fell down again.

Lao Piao was empty-handed, with a smug smile on his face. Facts proved that Chen was wrong. After pausing for a while, the Jianrui Battalion did not turn back. The leader looked at the roof, and then rushed into the darkness with the remaining dozen or so riders.

"Leave him alive!" Chen Gu shouted angrily.

After a few gunshots, Delentang was hit several times in the legs and hands and completely lost the power to resist.

"Send a few people down to treat the wounded, and the rest of you continue to stand guard on the roof!" Chen Gu shouted loudly.

There were quite a lot of wounded people. Among the twenty people, only three who were standing were not injured. The remaining six had minor injuries, including Chen Gu, Lao Piao and Lao Nian, a total of five were seriously injured, and six were dead.

This was the first time that Chen Gui suffered such a huge loss, which made him extremely angry and sad at the same time.

Compared to money, Chen Gu valued these comrades more. After all, money can be earned again if it is lost, but people are gone forever when they die.

There will definitely be casualties in a war. It is impossible for you to just kill others without them resisting. However, due to his fear of insufficient firepower, Chen Gu has tried his best to strengthen his military force in order to reduce the number of casualties.

The reason why he dared to come to the county town was because of the powerful military equipment and hot weapons. Even if he couldn't win, retreating would be no problem. In addition, with advanced tactics and sniper support from high altitudes, Chen Gu didn't think about how many casualties would occur.

But this time there was a 10% casualty rate, which really made Chen Gu uncomfortable.

What made Chen Jue even more distressed was that the casualties were increasing. Stumbling Block came back from the dungeon with six stretchers, four of which were covered with full-body cloth, indicating that some people were already dead.

Chen Gu hurried over and saw that although Zhang San was covered with wounds, he was not covered with a cloth. He couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"Boss!" Zhang San was still awake.

"I'm here, I'm here!" Chen Gu hurried over and held Zhang San's hand.

"Boss, I didn't embarrass you. They beat me and burned me with red-hot irons, but I didn't say anything. But it really hurt!"

"It's over, everything is over. We will go back to Fobao soon. No one will be able to bully you when we get back. Fobao has everything now. You don't have to work in the future. You can eat whatever you want, wear whatever you want, and play all day long!" Chen Gu promised.

"That's great! I can finally live the life I've always dreamed of." Zhang San smiled, slowly closed his eyes, and lost all the strength in his hands.

Chen Gu could not help but stand there in a daze, until Yun Hua came back with most of the troops, Lao Piao patted Chen Gu on the shoulder and said, "It's time for us to leave!"

"Yes, it's time to go back. Let's go home and return to the Buddha's Treasure!" Chen Ju carefully placed Zhang San's hand on the stretcher, and after standing up, he suddenly turned his head and looked at Delentang, "Take him with you, bandage him and stop the bleeding. I want to take him back to the Buddha's Treasure and use him to commemorate the souls of the deceased in heaven."

More than ten war horses of the Jianrui Battalion were left at the scene. Yunhua also brought back forty or fifty war horses, as well as several horse-drawn carriages and carts. After cleaning up the battlefield and taking the wounded with them, everyone began to walk towards the west of the city.

Before he reached the city gate, he heard a burst of noise from the city. Chen Gu curled his lips and wanted to go back and kill another round.

When they arrived at the city gate, Bian Shichun and Bai Wencheng stood on either side of a young man and bowed to Chen the Executor together.
