The bullet entered from the left side of Luo Laowai's head, piercing his head at close range. Blood splashed on the face of Chen Yulou who was standing close to him, and Chen Yulou's face immediately froze.
"Luo Shuai!"
The expressions of Luo Lao Wai's subordinates in the distance changed greatly as they looked at Luo Lao Wai's fallen body.
"well done."
At this time, Ma Zhenbang spoke again, very satisfied with Adjutant Yang's performance, and then looked at Chen Yulou and Partridge Whistle.
"Okay, now that the eyesore has been dealt with, it's time to get down to business. The names of the two leaders Suwen Qishan and Xiling are both well-known heroes in the world today, especially for their ability to hunt for tombs and treasures.
, is even more unique in the world, and what I, Ma Zhenbang, have always liked most is talents, and I value talents. I heard that there is a Yuan Dynasty tomb in Pingshan that has not yet been found. It contains countless gold and silver. If you two are willing to help me, Ma Zhenbang, obtain it.
Treasure, I, Ma Zhenbang, also promise that I will never treat you two badly, what do you think?"
Ma Zhenbang looked at Chen Yulou and Partridge Shao with a smile. He had already learned about the identities and names of these two people from Adjutant Yang. He knew the information about them clearly, and he also knew the secrets in this bottle mountain.
The tomb of the Yuan Dynasty has not yet been found, so he did not kill the two people and other people from the Xiling and Moving Mountain factions. The purpose was to use the power of Chen Yulou and Partridge Shao to fight against the two factions.
Try to get the treasure from Yuan Tomb.
Suddenly, the eyes of everyone present fell on Chen Yulou and Partridge Shao.
Chen Yulou also looked at Ma Zhenbang when he heard the voice. At this moment, he was in the anger of Luo Laowai's death. Although his relationship with Luo Laowai was not very good, after all, they were allies working together this time.
He was barely a friend, but at this moment he was killed by Ma Zhenbang in front of him. He himself was not a character who liked to be threatened and subdued, and he knew that even if he helped Ma Zhenbang, Ma Zhenbang might not let them go, so he said coldly immediately.
"Don't even think about it!"
"This is not a smart choice. If you don't agree, you will have no choice but to die."
Ma Zhenbang's face immediately turned cold.
"Sir, don't be anxious. There are still three people who have not been caught. The leader of those three is named Zhang Shaozong. There is also a junior sister and a follower named Yuan Bao. They have not been found. It seems that they have left before we arrived. Then
Zhang Shaozong is extremely powerful and can use magic, and he has a close relationship with Chen Yulou and Partridge Whistle. If we kill these two people now, we are afraid that it will attract revenge from Zhang Shaozong."
At this time, Adjutant Yang on the side saw this and said quickly, because from the beginning to now, he had noticed that Zhang Shaozong had not been seen in the entire Zanguan since their attack, and Ningshuang and Yuanbao were with Zhang Shaozong.
, these three people seemed to have left long before they arrived.
Thinking back to the strength and various magical methods that Zhang Shaozong had shown before, he couldn't help but ignore it.
"Zhang Shaozong, is he the one you said you should be careful about before?"
When Ma Zhenbang heard this, he immediately recalled it. It seemed that when Adjutant Yang first came to him to give him information about Chen Yulou and his party, he had emphasized the man named Zhang Shaozong and emphasized many times that he must be careful.
"Exactly, this person claims to be a disciple of Maoshan. He has extraordinary strength and is good at magic. He has an irreconcilable relationship with Chen Yulou and Partridge Shao, so he has to be on guard."
"Tsk, magic."
When Ma Zhenbang heard this, he chuckled indifferently. Although Adjutant Yang had emphasized to him many times about Zhang Shaozong, especially the matter of ordering the chickens and killing the centipede spirit, Ma Zhenbang did not take it too seriously.
Let’s not talk about whether there is any exaggeration in what Adjutant Yang said. Even if there is no exaggeration, no matter how strong Zhang Shaozong is, he can still be stronger than the thousands of troops under his command and the guns in his hands.
He used to believe in so-called ghosts and magic, but after joining the army, he only believed in the army and guns.
Adjutant Yang was also shrewd. Looking at Ma Zhenbang's face, he immediately guessed Ma Zhenbang's thoughts and immediately changed his words.
"Of course, no matter how powerful Zhang Shaozong is, he is nothing more than flesh and blood. He is definitely no match for guns and cannons, let alone the thousands of troops under the division commander. However, my subordinates believe that if this person is not eliminated, he will be a hidden danger after all. It just so happens that we can move mountains now.
We have people from both Xiling factions in our hands, so we can use this opportunity to lure out Zhang Shaozong, and then catch them all in one fell swoop to avoid future troubles forever."
After hearing this, Ma Zhenbang thought for a while and then said.
"Okay, in that case, I will give you one night today to lure out Zhang Shaozong. I want to see who Zhang Shaozong is, how powerful his spells are, and whether he can defeat my elite soldiers.
guns."
"I will give you one last chance and give you one night to think about it. If you two are willing to submit to me and help me obtain Yuan Tomb, I promise that I will not treat you badly."
Finally, Ma Zhenbang looked at Chen Yulou again, and Partridge Whistle and the others said.
At the same time, there was a hill outside Laoxiong Ridge in Xiangxi.
"I've met the handsome man."
Zhang Jinzhong and Zhang Shaowu, who were ordered to lead their troops, saw Zhang Shaozong and quickly stood at attention and saluted.
The number of troops brought by the two men this time was not large. In addition to the more than 1,500 people from Zhang Shaowu's artillery regiment, Zhang Jinzhong's Second Army only brought more than 1,500 people, for a total of almost 3,000 people.
, but although there are not many people, they are all elites, especially in terms of equipment and ammunition, which are extremely sufficient. In addition to ordinary rifle bullets, there are twenty heavy machine guns, fifty mortars, and five Italian guns, all with ammunition.
It's enough, even for several large-scale encounters.
"I'm late, please punish me, Commander-in-Chief."
Zhang Jinzhong and Zhang Shaowu apologized again and said that they had received Zhang Shaozong's message five days ago and rushed to Pingshan. If they were traveling normally, they were confident that they could arrive in three days, but because of the march of the army and the need for artillery and ammunition,
Fortunately, it rained heavily a few days ago and the mountain road was difficult to travel, so it took five days.
"It doesn't matter, come now, the time is just right." Gu
Zhang Shaozong smiled when he heard this, but did not blame the two of them. He also knew that transportation in this era was inconvenient, especially in such deep mountainous areas where you had to carry cannons and a large amount of ammunition. He was already somewhat satisfied that Zhang Jinzhong and Zhang Shaowu could arrive at this time.
Accident.
Then he roughly informed the two of them about the situation at Zanguan.
"If nothing else goes wrong, Ma Zhenbang of the Yunnan Army should have captured Luo Laowai, Chen Yulou and others by now. They will camp here to rest for the time being. Then follow me to Zhanguan early tomorrow morning and follow my orders."
"yes."
Then, the night was peaceful, and the next morning, the sun began to rise.
Chen Yulou and his three important subordinates, Huamaguai, Honggu, and Kunlun, as well as Partridge Shao, Lao Yangren, and Hua Ling, were closely guarded together. All seven were tied up with five-flowered ropes, and they were tied up at the same time.
Place it in an open and easily visible place behind the museum near the foot of the mountain.
This is what Ma Zhenbang meant. The purpose is to attract Zhang Shaozong out. At the same time, the location behind Changuan near the foot of the mountain is surrounded by mountains on three sides and is surrounded by cliffs and stone walls, forming a shallow valley where ordinary people can only enter and exit from Changuan. In this case, even if an accident occurs to Zhang Shaozong
After going inside and rescuing the people, he only had to order his troops to form a formation and guard outside the building to block the exits, and then the people inside would be blocked and unable to fly.
"Isn't anyone here yet?"
After waiting for a while, seeing that Zhang Shaozong still hadn't appeared, Ma Zhenbang couldn't help but look at Adjutant Yang and said, Adjutant Yang was also sweating profusely at this moment. He used Chen Yulou, Partridge Whistle and others to lure Zhang Shaozong out.
Meaning, but now that Zhang Shaozong has not appeared, if his judgment is wrong, he will be under great pressure, so he has to try his best to delay it.
"Sir, don't worry. Zhang Shaozong has a good relationship with Chen Yulou and Partridge Whistle, so he will definitely come to rescue people. He must be hiding somewhere secretly at the moment, waiting for an opportunity. Once he appears, his subordinates will tell him not to come back."
"I'll give you another half hour."
Ma Zhenbang didn't say much and directly issued the deadline.
"yes."
Adjutant Yang responded with sweat on his forehead and was about to turn around and leave.
"piu!piu!piu!..."
Suddenly, I heard a series of violent sounds piercing the sky in the direction of the hillside behind me. Looking back, I saw a large stream of light piercing the sky above my head.
When Ma Zhenbang heard this sound, his expression suddenly changed. He stood up from his chair and looked up, because as a person who has been on the battlefield for a long time, this sound was too familiar to him. It was a cannonball.
There were sounds breaking through the air, and there were quite a few of them. However, in this place, Luo Laowai had been killed by himself, and the soldiers under him had basically surrendered. How could there be artillery shells besides him now?
Looking up, he saw dozens of cannonballs coming directly from the sky on the top of the mountain behind the museum.
"No, it's a cannonball, take cover quickly!"
Ma Zhenbang was so frightened that he could clearly see that all these shells were hitting their position. If they all fell, they would not be able to directly clear the ground.
The next moment.
Boom! Boom! Boom!....
A dense, ground-washing explosion sounded from in front of the building. It was when those shells fell completely on the ground. In an instant, the entire ground seemed to explode, and the entire building collapsed immediately.
At the foot of the mountain behind Zanguan, whether it was Chen Yulou, Partridge Post and others who were captured and guarded, or Ma Zhenbang's soldiers who were guarding Chen Yulou, Partridge Post and others were all jumped by the sudden sound of shells.
Then they saw the building where Ma Zhenbang's army was located was blown up.
But before the group could think more, the sound of dense shells piercing the air overhead reminded them again that it was the reward for the second round of bombing.
"put!"
On the top of the mountain, a battalion commander of Zhang Shaowu's artillery battalion commanded fifty mortars and five Italian guns to launch a second round of bombing at the location of Zanguan where Ma Zhenbang's army was located below.
Zhang Shaozong, Ningshuang, Yuanbao, Zhang Jinzhong, and Zhang Shaowu stood with their hands behind their backs in a wide field of view, looking towards the location of the building at the bottom of the hillside.
With his strong strength and eyesight, Zhang Shaozong immediately saw Chen Yulou, Partridge Whistle and others who were guarded behind the building. He knew that this was obviously arranged by Ma Zhenbang to trap Chen Yulou, Partridge Whistle and others.
People act as bait to attract him to rescue people, but unfortunately, Ma Zhenbang does not realize what kind of enemy he is facing, and he has no idea about Zhang Shaozong's situation.
Zhang Shaozong never thought about taking risks to save people. Although he wanted to save people, he had to baptize the enemy with artillery fire first.
As long as all the enemies are destroyed, the hostages will naturally be saved.
