Volume 1 Wuchang Vortex Chapter 4: Come and help me take drugs to heal my wounds
Just as Nu Xiong was about to cut through the thorns and continue climbing the mountain, he suddenly heard faint gunshots in the distance and was so scared that he trembled all over.
The Miao and Han people have gradually merged together over the years, so he also heard that there were troubles in Chengdu, but he didn't expect that the incident had now spread to Guang'an. He thought about avoiding it first, but for some reason, when he heard the gunshot sound like frying beans, his feet involuntarily moved to that side, and he even took out his blowgun for self-defense.
At this moment, Xiao Anguo and Yang Qiu didn't care about the coming people. They were discussing how to go around and kill Hotchkiss, who was the most threatening.
"Brother, your arm is injured, why don't you let me..."
Before he finished speaking, Yang Qiu stopped Xiao Anguo, bit a piece of his shirt to bandage the wound, and said, "Don't worry, sir, this little injury is not a big deal. But you have to be careful, because if you are exposed, the machine gun will definitely turn around."
Xiao Anguo knew that Yang Qiu was very fierce in training, and his reaction just now was extraordinary, so if he wanted to accomplish the task, it would probably be him who had to do it. So he looked at the wound and stopped trying to persuade him, saying, "Don't worry, brother, if... I will avenge you!"
"This... is really touching!" Yang Qiu said maliciously, stretched his arms, put the pretend rifle behind his back, and then raised three fingers as they had agreed.
“1, 2, 3!”
When the voice reached 3, Xiao Anguo immediately shouted: "Brothers, go west and protect the carriage!"
Although Xiao Anguo was not proficient in fighting, he was a generous person and was well-known in the army for protecting his men, so he was deeply trusted by his soldiers. At this moment, with his loud shout, no one, including Ma Kui and Bingwen, doubted him and they immediately rushed out from their hiding place.
Du Laoliu and others on the opposite side were worried that they couldn't hit the other side, but they didn't expect that this group of guys actually rushed out by themselves. They quickly turned their guns around and fired at them, especially the hissing Hotchkiss, which knocked down several new recruits in a row.
Yang Qiu did not dare to delay. He took advantage of the moment when the enemy's machine gun was diverted and crawled to the blind corner of the mountain wall. He grabbed a hanging vine and quickly climbed up.
Since the firepower was diverted, this low mountain wall, which was not difficult to conquer compared to the almost vertical climbing training walls in later generations, was not difficult for him, so he climbed up quickly, used the force to roll on the ground, and disappeared into the bushes.
Xiao Anguo, who was below, finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Yang Qiu climb up safely. He quickly found a soldier to hide with him behind the big rock where they had just hidden. Then he pretended to be defeated and asked everyone to retreat back to the mountain wall to hide.
Due to the chaotic scene, Du Laoliu and others did not notice that Yang Qiu behind the big rock had been replaced by another soldier. Seeing that two guns behind the rock were firing continuously, they thought Yang Qiu was still there. Fearing that he would hurt people again, they turned the machine guns over.
The dense grove made Yang Qiu feel as if he had returned to a training ground in later life. He used the cover of branches and leaves to crawl slowly to a place not far from Du Laoliu before pulling out his pistol and releasing the safety.
Seeing the idiot standing next to the machine gun, protected by seven or eight bandits, holding a palm-leaf fan and posing like Zhuge Liang, Yang Qiu was certain that even if this guy was not the bandit leader, he was the person in charge here. So he thought about how to catch this guy quickly while adjusting his breathing and making preparations.
"Hurry up, hurry up, damn it... Look carefully, it's my twenty dollars!"
Seeing that the other side had all shrank back and did not show their heads, Du Laoliu, who was originally a mob, became more and more anxious. Especially after seeing a guy kill the horse pulling the cart, he kicked him hard. A horse cost dozens of dollars, how could he not feel sorry for it.
"Go, take a few people and charge forward. I'll let the machine guns cover you!"
"Listen up, everyone. Go ahead and kill anyone I can give you five dollars!"
It is true that there will always be brave men when there is a big reward. When the bandits heard the boss shout out the reward of five dollars, they immediately rushed down the mountain roaring, and the machine gunner fired bullets as if they were free.
Seeing that there were fewer and fewer people around Du Laoliu, Yang Qiu calmed down and his body became hunched over little by little. If an outsider saw him at this moment, it would be like seeing a jaguar hiding in the jungle, ready to launch a fatal attack.
“Go, go, go!”
Just when Du Laoliu was shouting excitedly when he saw one of his men had taken control of a carriage, Yang Qiu finally got his chance and suddenly rushed towards the nearest bandit.
Because his attention was all on the front, this guy didn't expect someone to come from the side. As soon as he heard the noise, and before he understood what was going on, he felt a pair of large hands grabbing his neck and twisting it hard.
After breaking the bandit's neck cleanly and neatly, Yang Qiu didn't even look at the body and immediately knocked down the second bandit with a whip kick. He used the force of the kick to flash in front of the third bandit and shot him in the chest with the Colt M1911 in his hand. The lethality of the 0.45 caliber was fully demonstrated at this moment. A ball of flesh and blood exploded on the bandit's back, and he pounced on the remaining bandits behind him with his head covered.
These moves were somewhat similar to the quick and agile techniques of special forces in later generations, which made the bandits all confused. By the time they saw clearly that this was the stubborn donkey who had just flown, several guys who were splattered with blood and flesh had already been shot and fell down by pistols.
The sound of gunfire was crisp and clear. Du Laoliu was so scared that he dropped his fan and reached for the gun. However, before he could get his hand on the gun handle, he found that everyone around him had fallen down, and he was pointed at the head by a pistol he had never seen before.
The black muzzle of the gun made him shudder. The few remaining bandits and machine guns in the distance turned their guns around, but their boss had been pinned to the ground by someone, so no one dared to mess around.
"Boss, do you want me to remind you what to do?" Yang Qiu curled the corners of his lips wickedly and pulled Du Laoliu into his arms to use him as a human shield.
Du Laoliu was just a marginal figure in the Gelaohui. If he hadn't got a hundred guns, no one would even look at him. In addition, he had been in high spirits these days, so after experiencing such a scene, he was so scared that he trembled all over and shouted, "Please spare my life, spare my life, I have an eighty-year-old mother above me and..."
"Eighty-year-old mother!" Yang Qiu's forehead was covered with black lines. He was so angry that he hit Du Laoliu's head with the butt of his pistol. Why is he talking like this? An eighty-year-old mother? You old mother!
After knocking Du Laoliu unconscious with the butt of his gun, Yang Qiu grabbed his neck and took away the gun from his waist without caring about anything else.
After getting the gun, Yang Qiu was also slightly stunned. It turned out to be a Mauser 1896? This kind of gun is rare in China these days. It will take several years for the Dagu-made Self-produced Gun to appear. But now is not the time to ask about this. After putting the gun in his arms, he began to search his body again, not even leaving out his underwear. Seeing that his personal purse was taken away and stuffed into his arms, Du Laoliu almost cried. That was all his belongings.
"Hero, this hero, if you let me go, all of these will be yours." Du Laoliu was unwilling to give up. He pointed at the machine gun and his men's rifles and cried, "All of these are yours."
"Idiot, you'll be mine even if I don't let you go."
"Yeah, why am I so stupid?" If he hadn't been pointed at by a gun, Du Laoliu would have slapped himself hard. He was really too stupid! How could the gun fly away when the person was in someone else's hand?
Before Du Laoliu woke up from his self-pity, he heard a snapping sound next to his ear, and then felt a sharp pain in his thigh. He looked down and found that this shameless and stubborn donkey who had just taken five thousand oceans from him had actually cut a cut on it.
Damn it!
Is a 0.45-inch caliber so comfortable? Yang Qiu was already proficient in physiological structure for not breaking his leg after one shot. If it were an ordinary person, the leg would probably be broken directly, so Du Laoliu quickly bared his teeth and cried, asking his men to lay down their weapons and surrender.
When the bandits saw that their leader had been captured, they were so scared that they fled in all directions. Du Laoliu was so angry that he even forgot the pain of his wound and kept cursing at them for being ungrateful.
At this time, Xiao Anguo had also rushed up with his men. The soldiers, who were full of anger, flew their gun butts across the sky. After knocking down the remaining guys one by one , they found the hemp rope used to tie up carts and tied them up together.
Ma Kui was the first to rush over, grabbed Du Laoliu , stripped him naked, then dragged him to a corner with several red-eyed soldiers and beat him up.
"Brother, well done. I'll commend you for your contribution when I get back!" Xiao Anguo also came over, looked him up and down several times, and after finding no injuries, he breathed a sigh of relief and punched Yang Qiu's chest.
"Thank you for the compliment, sir. Brothers...how are you?" Yang Qiu was breathing heavily. After all, he was not in the peak body he had when he was a soldier in his previous life. Although the previous Yang Qiu had a very good foundation, the training methods could not be compared with those in later generations. So when he relaxed at this moment, he felt his whole body was wet as if it was soaked in water.
"Five brothers died, and several more were injured." Speaking of the dead and injured, Xiao Anguo's eyes turned red. He ran over and kicked Du Laoliu who was being beaten up several times before sighing, "Pack your things. It will be bad if someone comes later."
Yang Qiu secretly laughed at Xiao Anguo's actions, but he also saw clearly that this captain really loved his soldiers. Just as he was about to ask again, Bingwen came over, as if he was meeting Yang Qiu for the first time. After taking a few glances and seeing that everything was fine, he asked, "Sir, what should we do with these people?"
"What should we do? Collect all the guns and take them to Chengdu. As for these guys, throw them off the cliff to feed the wolves!"
"Sir, this is..."
"Help! The Qing army is coming!"
Just when Yang Qiu was thinking that such a massacre was inappropriate, a shout like the sound of a pig being slaughtered suddenly sounded in the distance. A thin man in Miao clothes ran down the mountain. Before anyone could react and aim their guns, he disappeared in the blink of an eye. Only shouts, louder and louder, echoed in the mountains.
Both Yang Qiu and Xiao Anguo looked over and then slapped themselves hard.
Oversight!
Bingwen even pointed at Yang Qiu's butt and shouted: "Brother Yang, your butt..."
"Butt? What's wrong with the butt?" Yang Qiu turned his head and saw that a dart had been stuck on the butt at some point, and the tail feathers were still trembling slightly in the wind.
"It's over! The one just now looked like a Miao? This thing might be poisonous! Bingwen, hurry up and give me the poison to heal my wounds... Hey, hey, don't leave, Brother Ma, or else you... will leave again?! Sir... Sir! Find someone to help me take the poison to heal my wounds?!"
