The first person to realize that something was wrong was naturally the coachman. When the bodyguards screamed, he was still a little puzzled. Even if they started to silence, shouldn't it be the woman who screamed? Why are you two screaming like ghosts?
Already?
At that time, he still despised these two guys, and felt that they would make a big fuss over trivial things. Of course, he was also a little confused, because according to the plan, he should be silenced after leaving the city. Why are you anxious if you haven't left the city yet?
!
So while he slowed down the car, he turned around to check the situation in the carriage, but this time he was almost frightened to death. He saw Petrovna stabbing the last bodyguard crazily with a dagger, and every time she drew the knife, she would be taken out.
There was a stream of blood, and the carriage was already covered in blood. Petrovna’s head, face, clothes, and arms were all covered in blood. The strong smell of blood was almost nauseating!
What frightened the coachman even more was that Petrovna suddenly turned her head and looked at him as if she had noticed his prying eyes. That look made his scalp tingle, and his spine felt like a cold wind from Siberia was blowing.
Suddenly the coachman also screamed in surprise, and before Petrovna could make a move, he dropped the reins and rolled over from the carriage, falling to the ground with a thud.
Well, this guy must have been so frightened that he just jumped out of the car just to escape for his life. Speaking of which, he was not very courageous and had no right to laugh at the two bodyguards in the car!
When the coachman ran away like this, Petrovna also breathed a sigh of relief. Just now she had used all her strength to fight with the bodyguard. Although she killed him in the end, she was now exhausted and weak. If the coachman did not run away,
, instead came in to help, but she had no choice but to close her eyes and wait for death.
The driver ran away, which gave Petrovna a chance to breathe. She took a few deep breaths and then quickly propped herself up to check the situation outside.
Obviously, the coachman's escape by jumping out of the car gave Petrovna a chance to breathe, but also allowed other vehicles in the convoy to notice the abnormality. As long as Shuvalov's people are not blind and idiots, they will soon come forward to kill her.
Petrovna.
At this moment, Petrovna's mind was more flexible than ever before. She knew that the bodyguards she hired were still behind her. Even if she found that the situation was not right, it would take time to come forward to rescue her. If she did nothing at this moment, she would still be sincerely
A word of death!
So she directly opened the car window, leaned out and shouted as loud as she could: "Help! It's murder!"
This voice was loud and clear, and since she had not left the city of Kiev at this moment, there were naturally a lot of pedestrians on the road, and Petrovna leaned out most of her body. As mentioned earlier, she was covered in blood.
Just raising your face can scare the driver into running away.
Pedestrians on the road saw this and shouted for help again. This man was covered in blood. It looked so scary. Naturally, he immediately got upset!
It's not that they rushed forward to rescue Petrovna immediately. You have too high a view on the consciousness and quality of ordinary Russian people. For ordinary people, there are only two reactions to seeing such a scary scene. The first is
Hurry up and escape to avoid disaster. Another way is to call the police. It is better to leave the job of rescuing people or collecting corpses to professionals!
All in all, the whole street was in chaos. Pedestrians were scurrying to avoid the situation, running faster than rabbits. It was a real rush.
However, chaos returns to chaos, but its impact on the convoy is minimal. After all, pedestrians are not stupid. They know how to avoid the convoy and the road, so who would stupidly jump into the middle of the road!
However, Petrovna's voice was not completely useless, at least it alerted her bodyguards who were following the convoy. When the coachman jumped out of the car just now, they were also wondering whether to take action to save people immediately, but
Generally speaking, there were mostly hesitations and hesitations, but Petrovna's voice immediately reminded them that their employer was already shouting for help, so why were they still standing there! Hurry up!
This was Petrovna's reaction, and Shuvalov was not just watching. After the driver jumped out of the car, he immediately realized that something was wrong, and he immediately ordered: "Quick!"
Chase after her immediately and get rid of that woman!"
And just as he was giving the order, Petrovna was calling for help, which immediately made Shuvalov frown. Especially when he saw the blood stains on Petrovna's body, he immediately realized the problem.
The seriousness of it - this woman is desperate! It is no longer possible to get rid of her without anyone noticing!
Suddenly Shuvalov angrily punched the car wall and said bitterly: "Do it! Shoot! Kill her!"
According to Shuvalov's original idea, it was best not to use the gun if he could, because the noise was too great, but he could no longer care about that much at the moment. He had to kill Petrovna immediately, otherwise there would be endless trouble!
Bang bang bang!
A series of gunshots rang out intensively, and the smoke produced by black powder almost obscured half of the street. These gunshots naturally irritated the pedestrians on the roadside, and the scene suddenly became even more chaotic!
"When you see Bruning and Fioning, be sure to keep an eye on them and send them away immediately. The rest of the people stay to deal with that damn woman!"
Shuvalov made a decision immediately. He divided half of his men to escort Bruning and Fionin out of the city, while the remaining men stayed to get rid of Petrovna.
This arrangement cannot be said to be problematic. It seems quite reasonable anyway. But the problem is that Shuvalov is too confident. He does not know that Petrovna has hired bodyguards in advance, and he does not know that Anton is also watching him.
every move.
Therefore, this strategy of dividing the troops into two teams is tantamount to spreading the force and trying to take care of both ends, but the result is likely to be unpalatable to both ends.
The first was Petrovna's side. After the violent shooting, the carriage Petrovna was riding in was full of bullet holes. The poor woman was shot in the arm and thigh. If she hadn't dodged in time, I'm afraid this would have happened.
The child has been beaten into honeycomb briquettes.
The biggest disadvantage of the flintlock gun is the slow and complicated reloading. Shuvalov's men fired almost at full fire in the first round, shooting out all the bullets in one go. Of course, it caused some damage to Petrovna.
Not a minor wound, but not fatal, and they had to reload.
This gave Petrovna a chance to breathe, because just as Shuvalov's men were busy loading ammunition, the bodyguards she invited finally caught up.
These people were not polite, and they came up to greet a volley of fire. Although they were small in number and had much weaker firepower, firstly they came suddenly and secondly Shuvalov's men were unprepared, and they were immediately beaten to their knees...
