Chapter 1597 Surrounded(1/2)
"Bang!"
Amidst the flying snowflakes, accompanied by the sound of a gunshot, a kid riding a mule ventured out of the bandit's den before he understood what was going on. He was so angry that he fell off the back of the mule.
Almost immediately, a loud whistle and a vivid sound of horse braying and donkey braying came from the forest not far away.
The mule that was originally carrying people and galloping over the frozen stream didn't even understand what was going on, so it snorted happily and ran over!
At the foot of the mountain ridge, at the junction of the woodland and the frozen stream, Zhao Jinyu, who had just been imitating the braying of a horse and a donkey, easily grabbed the reins of the mule and tied it to a branch of a birch tree.
I checked the robes on my body.
"Bah! Special-coded poor beard!"
Zhao Jinyu cursed and spit out thick phlegm. There were only two small bags of concentrated feed for the mules and a bag of coarse salt in the bag.
The only thing that was of some use was the ragged mattress of wolf or dog skin spread under the saddle.
Such a gain was really dispensable for him, a new soldier who had just joined the Anti-Alliance.
But he didn't know that, let alone the saddle and the mules he had just seduced, even if it was just this canvas bag and the few bags of concentrated feed prepared for the animals inside, what would it mean to the resisters headed by his eldest brother Zhao Jinge?
For allied soldiers, these are urgently needed supplies this winter.
On the mountain ridge behind him, Tian Xiaohu, who was riding on the branch of a pine tree, put down the telescope he had been holding, "It seemed to be directly on his back."
"Accidentally hit it crookedly"
Under the tree, Wei Ran loaded a new bullet into the Japs cavalry rifle in his hand and said unapologetically, "Just wait, there will definitely be bandits coming over to report the news. I won't kill the animals when the time comes."
people."
"What a great animal. It would be a waste to kill it." Tian Xiaohu muttered regretfully.
This place is only two to three hundred meters away from the mountain ridge where they used grenades to say "hello" to the bandits. However, because of the obstruction of the previous mountain ridge, the bandits on the top of the mountain had no chance of fighting without going down the mountain.
to them.
As for going down the mountain, only fools go down in a swarm, aren't they just waiting to be made dumplings by the "anti-alliance army"!
Unfortunately, the pass not far from the mountain ridge was the only way for them to go down the mountain to find shopkeeper Cao and the Japanese for help.
In other words, no matter which secret door the bandits used to leave their rat's nest, they would always pass through this Y-shaped frozen stream.
Although this stream is four to five meters wide, the water depth is only less than one meter even in summer.
Speaking of which, this stream was specially dug in the forest by Xu Laocai for gold mining.
Nowadays, the weather is getting colder, and the water surface is frozen and covered with a thick layer of snow, which has become a natural highway in the forest.
As long as you walk upstream along this stream, you can not only leave the forest and reach the main road via the Temple of Wealth, but you can also go around the other side to the secret camp of the Anti-Japanese Alliance.
Because of this, whether they are Japanese soldiers or bandits who want to cause trouble in the Anti-Union camp, they will choose to go here.
As for Langcaozigou, it is not impossible to walk, but it is a long way to go in a circle. In other words, the Anti-Japanese League took the risk to go there in order to avoid trouble and eyes and ears.
And this was the main reason why the young master of the Cao family was sure that Hu Bazhi would not be able to report the news to the Anti-Japanese Alliance before the Japanese arrived.
Fortunately, at least at this moment, it seems that even God is on the side of Wei Ran and the three of them.
Although the snow has not stopped now, it is much lighter, and even the wind has dispersed. With this, the visibility has naturally improved a lot.
On the treetops, Tian Xiaohu once again raised his telescope and pointed it at the bandit's den in the distance. Although he could not see the bandit's den because of the obstruction of the mountain ridge, he could still see a small section of the road that must be passed down the mountain.
road.
Under the mountain ridge, on the frozen stream, Zhao Jinyu turned over and rode on the big mule he had just seduced. He shouted at it and ran to the body that was not yet cool and leaned over to take a look.
“It’s pretty good”
Zhao Jinyu nodded with satisfaction, turned over, and took off the bandit's cotton robe and dog-skin hat, as well as the jingtan shoes on his feet and the cotton stuffing on his hands, and then took them out from his waist.
A worthless seven-nail box.
Rolling up these things randomly and stuffing them into the horse sack, Zhao Jinyu followed Wei Ran's previous request and put the corpse in a kneeling position. Then he rolled three snowballs and placed them on the top of the corpse's head and left and right shoulders.
Go up - this is just to satisfy Wei Ran's bad taste.
What’s the use of this?
Zhao Jinyu muttered to himself, got on his horse, yelled at the big mule and ran back to the forest at the foot of the mountain ridge.
As the three of them waited patiently, about ten minutes passed. Now, two bandits riding mules ran down the mountain and ran in this direction risking their lives.
"Here it comes, double yolk egg!"
While Tian Xiaohu in the treetops was talking, he had already picked up the Sanba Gai he was carrying on his shoulders and was ready. At the same time, he told him, "Just leave one person behind. You fight first."
"Can"
Wei Ran responded indifferently and waited patiently for a moment. When the two figures riding mules appeared in his field of vision, he immediately pulled the trigger!
"Bang!"
After the gunfire, a cloud of blood mist erupted from the neck of the big mule that the bandit in front was riding. He followed a large dog and chewed shit, rolled and fell into the snow.
Behind him, another bandit saw that the situation was not good, and immediately lowered his figure, almost clinging to the mule's body and cracking his whip desperately, urging the big animal under him to run as fast as he could!
"Bang!"
Wei Ran raised the muzzle of his gun and fired the second shot casually, urging the other bandit to whip the whip harder.
"Bang!"
Before the bandit who had fallen off his mule could get up, another bullet accurately knocked off the dog-skin hat on his head. This shot came from Tian Xiaohu.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Grandpa, spare my life!" The bandit who reported the news went out of his way to kneel on the snow with his hands raised in the air.
"Put your head up" came a shout from behind him.
Not daring to hesitate at all, the bandit immediately straightened his waist and raised his hands higher.
It was through this action that he could clearly see that in the snow not far away, there was a "Bai Jian Man" with a gun in his back and snowballs piled on his head and shoulders. He clearly remembered it.
, the other party went to report the news to the big shopkeeper before him.
Before he could figure it out, the weapons on his body were taken off by the person standing behind him. Immediately afterwards, he saw their eldest young master walking up to him, bending down and picking up his dog-skin hat.
However, when the eldest young master turned around, he realized that it was not their eldest young master at all. He had never seen him before!
"You know me?" Tian Xiaohu said, patting the dog skin hat in his hand clean and putting it on the bandit's head again.
"I know... I know you," the bandit nodded and said, "I know the set of leaves on Shangpai Qin's body."
"It's with your eldest young master, or it belongs to your second young master."
Zhao Jinyu said, showing the box gun he was carrying to the other party, "Do you know this Xiangzi?"
"I know you," the bandit said immediately, "from our young master's family."
"Just knowing each other"
Zhao Jinyu said, throwing the reins of the mule he had just captured to the other party, "Go and deliver a message from your shopkeeper Cao. He wants his son to live. Take five hundred catties of white-faced sorghum, two hundred catties of vermicelli, and fifty catties of tobacco leaves."
, one hundred sets of cotton-padded clothes. If you still can’t see anything or anyone by noon, have you seen that?”
Looking in the direction of Zhao Jinyu's finger, the bandit once again saw his companion who was kneeling in worship.
"The ones kneeling here then will be the two young masters and more than a hundred bandits from your kiln."
"Yes, yes, yes! We must bring the words here!" the bandit said, and he was about to climb onto the mule without its belt.
"Wait a minute, who gave you the special code to let you go?"
Zhao Jinyu cleared his throat and asked, "How many Japs were there in your village just now?"
"There are...more than 200 people." The bandit quickly replied, "There are also more than 100 Imperial Army troops."
"That's all?"
Zhao Jinyu suppressed the panic in his heart and muttered according to the script Wei Ran gave him in advance, and then said, "I'll tell you in black terms, Shopkeeper Cao, our Commander Zhao said that if he is willing to help eat these Japanese and puppet troops,
, the two young masters can go back alive, and all the things and property captured in the end will belong to you, and Xiangzi will also share half of it with you."
After a short pause, Zhao Jinyu continued, "If Shopkeeper Cao agrees, use the sound of the cannons from our side as a signal. When the cannons go off, you will take action. If you don't agree, just wait and feed the wolves with the Japanese!"
Get lost!"
"We must bring the words to you!"
Before the bandit could finish his words, he had already quickly mounted his mule and disappeared without a trace.
How the hell can you deceive shopkeeper Cao Da?
Zhao Jinyu couldn't help muttering again, and when the bandit completely disappeared from sight, he immediately ran back to the mountain ridge and informed Wei Ran and Tian Xiaohu of the information he asked about.
"A Japanese squadron, plus a hundred puppet troops?"
Tian Xiaohu was a little confused for a moment, but soon he rubbed his face vigorously, "Then we have to lure them over!"
Hearing this, Wei Ran sighed silently. A few of them might be able to attract these three to four hundred enemies, but they would never be able to survive the pursuit of so many enemies.
Zhao Jinyu had obviously thought of this as well. The young man also rubbed his face and said expectantly, "I don't know how many we can kill."
"Be prepared"
