Ma Xingkong heard clearly that there were people approaching them, and there were a lot of them, and they were surrounded. Old Ye Zi hurriedly put away his tobacco bag, and took out a single-shot that had not been used in decades from his waist.
Musket.
"Dad! Is it so serious?" Sister Huo had never seen Lao Yezi draw a gun before. This was the first time in her life.
The sound of people outside suddenly stopped, and someone shouted inside: "You have been surrounded, put down your weapons and surrender! Our commander may be able to spare your life!"
"Bang!" Someone shot in the direction of the sound. The shouting suddenly stopped.
Old Ye Zi hurriedly dismounted and shouted: "Spread out! Quickly spread out!" He grabbed Sister Huo and went into the woods beside the road. Ma Xingkong and others hurriedly followed.
"Boom..., boom! Boom!..." A series of explosions sounded right where they were. The bandits who had no time to escape were instantly surrounded by thick smoke and dust. Shouts began to sound, and broken limbs were flying everywhere.
"What the hell kind of cannon is this? It's much more powerful than a mortar!" Shitou glanced back and turned to ask.
No one answered him. In front of them, there was a group of officers and soldiers sweeping towards them. Like Fatty Liu, they were all wearing moon-white military uniforms, big-brimmed hats, and leggings, and they were holding Hanyang-made bags in their hands. It felt like
And unlike Fatty Liu's soldiers, these soldiers are more energetic and cooperate with each other quite well.
"Kill out!" Ma Xingkong asked, standing up and about to shoot.
Liu Wu hurriedly stopped: "Look!" Behind the pair of mopping up soldiers, there was a larger team approaching, forming a three-layer encirclement. There were not many bandits. As soon as the gunshots were fired, the people on both sides would be surrounded.
They will be surrounded soon. It will be very difficult to leave by then.
"Remove! Change places!" Old Ye Zi turned around hurriedly and pulled Sister Huo to run towards the north! The north was the direction they had just come from. Marshal Wang had set up a pocket formation here, hoping that the mouth of the pocket was not closed at this time.
As soon as they moved, the patrolling officers and soldiers immediately spotted them. "Over there!" The sound of gunshots was heard, and the surrounding officers and soldiers immediately rushed this way, and the people in the second encirclement also quickly moved closer. Ma Xingkong was on one side.
He ran and fired back. The officer who was chasing the fastest was quickly knocked down by him.
"Brother, you retreat first! I'll hold on!" Liu Wu suddenly stopped and lay on the ground and started to fight back. Hei Wa, Shitou, and Long Jie all turned around to find a hiding place and started to fight back. Ma Xingkong said angrily: "Get up!
Run!"
No one moved. The four men and the officers and soldiers started shooting at each other from a distance of dozens of meters. With the sound of explosions, you could not hear what Ma Xingkong said. The other brothers in Woniu Mountain also looked for hiding places to join the officers and soldiers.
Shooting at each other. Ma Xingkong shouted for a long time, but no one followed him. He cursed, turned around and came back.
Hei Wa was stunned: "Brother, why haven't you left yet! We can't hold on for long!"
"****! Now that I'm gone, am I still a human being? If we die together, our brothers will die together!" Ma Xingkong scolded Hei Wa, but Hei Wa smiled happily.
Sister Huo broke away from Lao Yezi's hand and ran towards Ma Xingkong. Lao Yezi sighed, turned over and followed. Yi Zhihua did not look back, she understood that with these people blocking her for a while, her hope would be greater.
.Instead, he increased his speed and led his men and horses, heading north quickly.
In the woods, the sound of gunshots like exploding beans spread far away. Zhang Hanmin, who came with his troops, laughed: "Brothers, work harder, the commander's reinforcements are here, hurry up!" Wang Tianzong and Dao Ba followed Zhang Hanmin.
Urge your horse and rush to Sanchakou.
Ma Xingkong fired all the bullets in his gun and asked loudly: "How much grain and rice are left?"
"I don't have any! I don't have any! I still have one more!" After a long period of shooting with the officers and soldiers, there were not many bullets in the first place, and they quickly ran out of ammunition and food. The officers and soldiers, relying on the strength of their numbers, were heading towards
They came over here. Hei Wa threw the gun in his hand, stretched out his hand and took out the dagger: "Brother! Fight with them, kill one to get enough money, kill two to earn one!"
"Whoosh..., whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!" A strange whistle sounded from outside the woods. Xiao Shunzi was happy and wiped the dirt on his face: "Brother! We are saved!"
The officers and soldiers who were about to arrive suddenly separated most of their troops and ran around them to the north of the woods. Xiao Shunzi said: "This is the whistle of transfer. They regard us as bait. They may have found the main force in the north!"
"What main force! Our people are all here!" Ma Xingkong glanced at him: "Where are the people from Yi Zhihua and Black Dragon Ridge?"
Sister Huo hit an officer in the head with a "bang!" shot: "She ran away long ago! Ah! Could it be that the officers and soldiers regarded her as their main force!"
Old Ye Zi gritted his teeth: "Whether it is or not, take advantage of this opportunity and rush out quickly. As long as we return to the mountains, they can't do anything to us!"
Behind the grass and trees, the bandits who were hiding suddenly appeared. Without saying a word, they rushed towards the few dozen remaining officers and soldiers. The situation on both sides changed instantly. Ma Xingkong rolled forward and hid.
He opened the officer's bayonet, cut off his ankle with the dagger, and then stabbed him upwards, piercing the officer's stomach with the long dagger. Blood dripped down the dagger and arm onto Ma Xingkong's face.
The fighting between the bandits is not fancy, only practical. The number of the two sides is equal, and the one-on-one battle is very ruthless. Only when your opponent is dead can you hope to survive. These officers and soldiers are also unambiguous, and every move is perfect.
After training, they are considered to be Marshal Wang's elite soldiers, and they are evenly matched against bandits.
Xiao Shunzi held his head with both hands in fear, dodging left and right. Shitou smashed an officer's Tianling Cap with his palm, and pulled Xiao Shunzi behind him: "You kid, don't run away, follow me!" Xiao Shunzi nodded dully.
Old Ye Zi is getting older, and his hands and feet are very nimble. He killed three officers and soldiers in a few seconds, and led Sister Huo to rush forward! Encountering this group of red-eyed bandits, it was unlucky for the officers and soldiers, and they were about to die.
We need to rush out. The officers and soldiers in the north may have killed a flower and turned back.
"Quick! Charge! Charge out!" Those with guns fired, and those without guns cooperated with each other. At this time, the morality of Green Forest was no longer taken into consideration, and charging out was the only way to go.
Old Ye Zi and Sister Huo were the first to fight through the siege. Sister Huo looked back and saw that Ma Xingkong had also followed. She was relieved, shouted, and turned away with Old Ye Zi. After a fight, they were exhausted, but
In order to survive, they gritted their teeth and persisted. After rushing out of the woods, they would reach the mountains. Once they entered the mountains, they would be safe.
"Follow! Keep running!" Ma Xingkong dragged Long Jie and asked him to speed up. The officers and soldiers behind shouted and chased after them, and the bullets chased their butts and hit tree trunks, grass or soil. Many of the brothers in their hands
, were either captured alive or beaten to death. After running for a mile, less than ten people were left.
Finally rushed out of the forest. Ma Xingkong handed Long Jie to Hei Wa and turned to look for Lao Yezi and Sister Huo. Seeing that they also rushed out, Ma Xingkong breathed a sigh of relief and motioned for them to follow.
"Bang!" There was a gunshot, and Old Ye Zi fell down. Sister Huo rushed forward. Ma Xingkong was shocked and shouted: "Get down! Get down!"
"Bang!" There was another gunshot, and Sister Huo's body suddenly froze, and the expression on her face froze. She slowly raised her head, looked at Ma Xingkong, and showed an unnatural smile.
