Not far from the stone where Heihu was lying, there was an open area. Beyond the open area was Gutang Village. Heihu, who was holding a rifle, could vaguely see a figure moving on the edge of the village. Heihu concluded that it must be in the village.
The patrol sentry noticed something and came over to check the movement, but it might just be a routine patrol and found nothing.
Black Tiger slowly moved his body, and his right hand went down to find a point of strength on the stone. Unexpectedly, the bottom of the stone suddenly hung in the air. Black Tiger's toes could not find a place to put force, and his body was shaken. If it hadn't been for him
With his left hand desperately grasping a protruding spot on the stone, he might slide along the stone and fall to the ground. It would be impossible to break the black tiger at such a short distance, but it would definitely make a loud noise and alert the enemies in front.
Hei Hu simply steadied himself at the last moment, but the rifle in his hand swung, and the barrel hit the stone, making a crisp sound.
Not only Heihu, but even the bandits behind him were startled. Heihu himself broke out in a cold sweat and his hair stood on end. Heihu stiffened and remained motionless.
But this kind of waiting made Hei Hu's nerves highly tense. His palms gradually became sweaty, and Hei Hu's breathing unconsciously became heavier. Hei Hu waited quietly against the big stone for a while, but nothing happened.
Nothing happened, and the footsteps he heard just now seemed to have disappeared. Black Tiger finally relaxed his body and let out a long sigh of relief.
The periphery of Gutang Village is a circle of abandoned fields. The black tigers who came down from the hillside are lying in these abandoned fields. The black tigers are lying in the grass on the edge of the fields, looking at
The villagers were carefully observing the movement, but there were no lights or sounds in Gutang Village at this time, and it was completely dead silence. Black Tiger did not suppress all the bandits under his command, but left some people behind to guard his rear.
The others followed him and walked slowly along the isolation ditch dug in the field.
Finally leaning against the wall, Black Tiger, who was gasping secretly, stopped. Two bandits appeared from behind him and continued to move forward. In the blink of an eye, they had reached the door of the courtyard in front. The house of this family looked very dilapidated. The so-called
The courtyard door was also randomly nailed together with several wooden boards. It looked like there was a big gap, but unexpectedly it was bolted on the inside. Finding that the courtyard door was bolted, the bandit who stretched out his hand to push the door was not surprised but overjoyed.
If the bolt is unlocked, it means that there is someone in the yard. This is great. The bandit who pushed the door signaled the people following him to be on guard on both sides. He held the gun in his left hand and held a dagger in his left hand and stretched it out from the crack of the door.
Go in, pick the dagger up along the crack of the door, and prepare to lift the door latch.
The dagger that hit the door latch slowly moved upward, and the door latch was lifted little by little. There was still no movement in the yard. It seemed that the people inside were sleeping soundly, and they did not expect that death was approaching. The bandit holding the dagger in his hand
He couldn't help but look happy, and the dagger in his hand suddenly flickered, and the courtyard door had been opened. The bandit standing at the courtyard door had no time to think about it before he was the first to touch it. Compared with the outside, the courtyard was not large in area.
It was completely dark and nothing could be seen. It was not invisible, but there was nothing for people to see.
Several bandits standing on both sides of the courtyard door also entered the small courtyard. They were about to go to the left and prepare to open the door. They wanted to enter the house and search for a while, but suddenly they heard a bang, and in the dark courtyard.
Suddenly there was a ball of fire. "Da da da da da da". The bandits who were completely exposed to the fire had no time to dodge. They were knocked down in the yard by the gunfire fired from the house.
Several of the bandits who came and stood at the gate of the courtyard were also knocked down.
There was a clear sound of gunfire in the quiet night. This was definitely not an illusion. The sound of such a close gunshot seemed particularly harsh in the originally silent village. Heihu, who was leaning against the courtyard wall, did not expect that gunfire would suddenly erupt in the village.
Seeing his bandits who had been shot rolling and screaming on the ground, Hei Hu was so frightened that he broke into a cold sweat. If he had entered this courtyard just now, there was no way he would be one of the people lying at the door of the courtyard.
"Master, we're afraid we've been ambushed." Several of Black Tiger's subordinates ran over and tried to persuade Black Tiger to retreat immediately. "Da da da da da da" the sound of a fierce gunfight came from behind.
There were also sounds in the open space, and among the gunfire, there were people shouting loudly and repeatedly: "Don't save bullets, keep all these bandits here, don't let the bandits escape." No, I was really ambushed.
Black Tiger was shocked, and immediately rushed towards the road with his bandits.
As soon as he rushed back to the field, fierce gunshots rang out from the big rock where Black Tiger had been hiding. A dozen bandits from Black Tiger Liu Zi's place also fought and retreated towards Black Tiger.
Come. "Master, it's not good, we were attacked by someone, and we can't get through there." The little bandit who ran back shouted loudly all the way, which made the already panicked Black Tiger even more at a loss.
Black Tiger was originally just a bandit leader who dominated the mountains and used his strength to carry out plundering. When it came to his ability to command and fight, he was probably not as good as Liu Shitou.
The bandits who were originally left by Black Tiger to guard the big stone heard the gunshots coming from the village. They naturally looked towards the village, but they didn't want three people to suddenly appear from behind them and fire at them. The bandits used
They were just old-fashioned Hanyang-made rifles. They were no match for the opponent's three shell guns. Four of them were killed by the opponent in just one encounter. The remaining bandits panicked and ran to Heihu to escape. The village and the big stone two
Gunfire flashed out from all over the sky, but it was already dark at this time, and Heihu and the others did not know the truth or reality of the other party. The bandits from Huanglongshan and Tanjialing were all blocked in the fields outside the village.
.
Naturally, Black Tiger would not be willing to be forced back by the opponent, but the large gunfire at the entrance of the village looked very scary, so Black Tiger could only lead his people to move towards the entrance of the village where he had previously deployed manpower. The bandits were completely in chaos.
After being trapped, some followed the black tiger and moved towards the village, some were still shooting at the village, and some had already thrown away the rifles in their hands and just collapsed in the field muttering something.
Black Tiger led most of the bandits and ran all the way, along the fields outside the village, and finally arrived at the entrance of the village. He fought and retreated and soon joined the bandits who came to meet him. "My mother, I'm losing a lot of money now."
After carefully counting the number of people, Heihu realized that the losses of his men and horses were really heavy. There were more than 60 bandits who followed him down the mountain, but now there are less than 40 bandits around him including the dozen or so people from Tanjialing.
That is to say, he has lost more than 30 people in Huanglong Mountain.
"Fire!" Black Tiger was about to say to fight back to the village when he heard a sudden shout not far from them. The bandits who had no time to dodge were immediately hit by the dense bullets. Black Tiger also let out a scream.
, rushed to the side, his right shoulder blade had been shot through by bullets, he was commanding the bandits under him while enduring the severe pain, and could not even pick up the gun. The bullets kept coming from the dark place.
The gunfire came over, hitting the mound he occupied with mud and splashing, and the black tiger was so heavy that it couldn't even lift its head.
"Master, it's too late. You're using a machine gun like crazy. There are too many casualties among our brothers. We'd better evacuate as soon as possible. If it's too late, we won't be able to escape." A small leader under Black Tiger quickly rolled twice.
, yelled as he climbed down next to Heihu. He didn't give Heihu a chance to speak at all. He called to the bandits around him and pulled Heihu to retreat in the opposite direction. Those bandits who didn't know yet were still raising their guns freely.
They fought back, but fortunately they contained the machine gun fire in the distance, otherwise Black Tiger and the others would not have been able to evacuate smoothly.
The panicked Heihu escaped, but the bandits he brought could no longer escape. Liu Shitou and the others who were ambushing in the village had already rushed out according to the plan. Hou San and Dice, who were hiding outside the village, had also appeared, waiting for these
The bandits could only surrender or be killed. The fighting in front of the village was extremely fierce, and among the various gunshots, the screams of someone being shot and dying were heard constantly. The bandits trapped in this open field
There were at least fifty or sixty people. Fortunately, they were firmly suppressed in this abandoned group area, and there was no possibility of escape.
Burning torches were thrown out of the village one after another, and the hay that had been poured with oil early was lit one after another. Under the light of the fire, the bandits in the open field had nowhere to hide. Those bandits who still fought back crazily with guns could only become
Targets shot by veterans of the Yunnan Army. The only shortcoming of Tang Cheng's plan was that he had too few soldiers who could be used in combat. Fortunately, he still had dozens of them who could still pull the trigger.
The wounded soldiers and the young civilians only need to help these veterans of the Yunnan Army fill the bullets, pull the bolts of guns, and pull the triggers to kill the bandits. They can just leave it to these veterans.
After the fierce battle, the choking smell of gunpowder smoke has not dissipated, and there are corpses of bandits everywhere. There is no time to count them at night, and it is impossible to count them. The only thing to do now is to chase the bandits that have been defeated and to touch up the corpses of those bandits.
.A premeditated sneak attack turned into a blocking battle. This was Black Tiger's misfortune. The hundred or so bandits he brought suffered heavy losses. In the end, less than 30 bandits left Gutang Village alive with Black Tiger.
"If we keep chasing, we can't waste those bullets in vain. We should get something to offset our losses." Hou San didn't calculate how much the seized weapons and ammunition could be exchanged for. He was just annoyed that it was so unbearable.
The guys who attacked actually dared to ambush along the road yesterday and prepared to attack him. Hou San had already made up his mind to chase these guys' lair and loot them once to satisfy his hatred.
