"...Boom..." With the sound of a gunshot, the somewhat noisy riverside fell into silence, and then outside the row of brick houses, people from far and near, who were looking around for the test, ran away one after another.
The people who were around to inquire about the situation were acting more and more excessively. They tried again and again and approached again and again. Boss Shan and his group finally chose to fire a warning shot after repeatedly shouting warnings to no avail.
However, the escape of the spies did not bring any joy to their faces. From a distance, it could be visually observed that a large number of armed men were surrounding them.
The opposite side of the river was even more bold. A large number of people had already gathered behind the embankment, and a large number of ships were also gathering upstream and downstream.
At this moment, the sun has completely sunk into the horizon. Although there are residual lights scattered, the sky is gradually getting dark as dark clouds approach. Boss Shan has to drive away, otherwise there will be great risks if someone stays nearby.
"...Boom...Ahh..." Boss Shan was about to leave, but a gunshot rang out in the distance, and the brother standing at the window fell to the ground and screamed.
He had someone check him out, and fortunately, only a piece of flesh was bitten off his shoulder, so he was quickly taken down to be bandaged.
"...Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo for of weird screams and howls in the distance.
"...Boom..." Another gunshot was heard. Fortunately, everyone had already hid and there were no casualties. However, Boss Shan was not prepared to endure this kind of naked provocation.
Arrangements were quickly made to have those with accurate marksmanship use their rifles to fight back. Anyway, they had a bunker, let's see who could outshoot whom.
"…Boom…Boom…" Soon, sparse gunshots rang out in the inn, and those people could no longer cheer. There were even commotions.
However, the people outside did not give up, and they fired back one after another. For a while, you and I were fighting happily, but they were limited to shooting at each other, and the people outside did not press forward.
The area around the Yizhe Inn is either water or flat farmland with no shelter. The rice has been harvested and the rice stacks were removed by Boss Li at the request of the landowners and farm laborers.
Both! It's not like there's a group of people outside, each targeting Xiao Jiujiu. No one wants to rush forward at this time, lest they suffer excessive losses and end up being taken advantage of.
But after all, there were so many people outside that they were soon overwhelmed, and Boss Shan and his gang couldn't hold their heads up. There were only so many windows, so the enemy would hit them through the windows, and the bullets would fly, so they didn't dare to show their heads at all.
"...Quickly...open more shooting openings in the wall. Don't open them too big. Just open three or four bricks. Then find a ladder to go up to the attic and lift the tiles on top to shoot."
Boss Shan and others have fought many battles in the army. Although they have lost a lot of things due to slacking off in the past few years, they still react quickly when problems arise in battle.
Boss Shan took personal command, marked the firing ports and the positions where they should be fired, and fired one and several more shots himself.
The original owner built this house very solidly. The walls were all made of blue bricks, which were nearly thirty to forty centimeters long. It was probably guarded from the beginning, so that it would be affected by the war, bandits, and other disasters, but he did not expect that the bandits would also use it.
The arrangements were well made, and it was feared that the other party would not attack for a while, so Boss Shan left first and looked around to check the situation.
"Second brother, if you don't stay on the phone, what are you doing here?"
As soon as Boss Shan came out, he saw that his second brother was not doing any business, but was leading someone to dig up the soil in the yard, put it into sacks and carry it upstairs.
Make sandbags! Of course he understands, but this doesn't require the second brother to come in person! And what's the point of moving upstairs? It's more needed on the first floor, the parking lot on the second side, and even outside the inn.
"There are too many people surrounding the inn, and this inn is not small. We may not be able to defend all of them with our manpower, so we are going to build some fortifications in the room. If necessary, we can abandon part of the place and retreat here."
Boss Shan nodded, looked around, and frowned: "Isn't that right? We should choose the other side, right? There are soil bags over there to build a position, and our ship is also over there, so we can defend or retreat!"
"...Sigh..." The second child sighed, shook his head, and explained: "It is true that there are soil bags to set up positions and support each other at the inn, but the soil bags may also be taken away by others and become bunkers and footholds for attacks.
Moreover, I suspect that these people were lured here by spreading the news that money was hidden in the inn.
The most likely place where silver can be hidden in an inn is in the cellar under the earth bag, and here is the guest room, which is always open, so the silver hidden there may not be large. When the time comes, removing the earth bag and that side should relieve a lot of pressure.
As for the boat, there are people on the other side, and there are people up and down the river. We can't escape at all, and if we drive the boat away, it will only make people suspect that Bai Yin is on the boat, and those people will definitely pursue us and kill us completely."
"...Boom..." Boss Shan looked solemn after hearing this. After urging everyone to speed up, he continued to patrol and inspect amidst the sound of thunder, and by the way, he transferred some people to the second brother's place.
As the dark clouds quickly passed by, the sky quickly turned dark. Around the inn, patches of torches lit up, and further out, there were patches of fire spots, or fire dragons, surrounding the inn from all directions.
Come.
Of course, a place without fire does not mean that there is no one there. On the contrary, there are sounds from many places from time to time.
As for the people outside the inn, they saw more and more people coming. Some of the groups that had gathered around wanted to retreat rather than rush to the front.
But the people behind seemed to have a tacit understanding to block the road. I don't know whether they wanted the people in front to be used as cannon fodder, or they didn't want the people in front to get something and escape.
It's a half-and-half possibility! Although they didn't know the origins of Boss Shan and others, they didn't think they were real water bandits. They thought they were people from the Intelligence Department in disguise, and they didn't think they were easy to deal with.
Of course, they don't think that such a small number of people can stop them, and they don't even think that they can stop the previous gangs. After all, there are almost thousands of people joining together and cooperating. In their opinion,
These people are enough to fight against the people from Intelligence Unit 100.
There are those who want to retreat, and there are those who are eager to attack as soon as possible. Someone just tentatively arranged for someone to attack, but they were beaten back after three or two hits.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Although it does not mean good, it also makes some people realize that that place is easy to defend. If you attack it, you may be able to rely on the numerical advantage.
Keep going there and get the benefits.
Although it is impossible for others to give up easily, what if? Moreover, there are several batches of silver, and if they cannot be attacked for a long time, others may not keep their eyes on this place.
The more I thought about it, the more I thought it was possible, so I started arranging people to move forward quietly under the cover of night. It was not that I wanted to let these people attack in one fell swoop, but I wanted to force others to take action quickly and share their losses.
pressure.
On the Wusong River, several small boats sailed out from the upper reaches to the other bank and downstream. Not long after, some small boats from the upper reaches began to gather secretly under the cover of night.
"...Rumble...Bang, bang, bang..." Along with the roar of thunder, the gunfire became more and more intense, and the shouts of killing gradually appeared. On land, some people began to attack along the ditches and ridges in the field.
"...Boom..." Along with the roar of the ship's gun placed on the small earthen bag, many people in the inn also replaced their guns with barge guns to increase the firepower of the counterattack.
The attacking bandits also used various means to attack closer positions. Unfortunately, the enemies whose figures were reflected in the flames of the guns were directly beaten into pieces by random gunfire.
But there was no flare, and it was inevitable that someone would get close. Boss Shan and others could only throw the lit torches around the inn to prevent the enemy from getting too close.
But this was just a temporary measure. They didn't have many torches on hand. The only ones they had were the ones Lao Er had prepared for sending fish to the boat, and there were still some extra ones left in reserve.
Moreover, God also came to join in the fun, and big raindrops began to fall. Gradually, the sky became darker and darker, and the rain became heavier and heavier. The wind carried the rain, and it started to fall.
"...Boom...Boom..." The ship's gun sounded more and more frequently. With this thing, we could barely hold on to the inn.
"...Brother..." The second brother, who was somewhat lost and pale, stumbled over to find Boss Shan.
"...What's going on..." Boss Shan pulled the person behind the wall and asked anxiously. Although the resistance was very difficult, he did not move the people on the second brother's side up. After all, that was the retreat, and Boss Shan still had
I thought there was something wrong with the back road.
"...Brother... some news has come back. I don't know if someone deliberately released the news, but according to rumors, Baiyin is related to the movement that woke us up that night.
Then there are the footprints on the embankment behind the inn, the disappearance of the movement there, we stopped the guests from going out, dug fortifications behind, etc., which almost confirmed the rumors that we have silver here.
We have been tricked, and according to rumors, the people who ran this place before were the ones who stole the silver. Considering that they directly gave up this place to us, and there are other miscellaneous news and rumors, we are directly regarded as their people.
I suspect that those people before may really be those people. Even when we got the news and occupied this place, it was all done by the other party, just to let us replace them and fight with these people!
Now, now! Among those rumors about Baiyin, only this place is the most credible. At present, almost everyone is rushing here. According to what people outside see, there are people rushing here with torches all around.
Some are strung together and stretch for several kilometers."
Although his speech was relatively coherent, the second master still showed deep despair in his words mixed with crying.
Shan Lao's face turned purple when he heard this. Fortunately, his ability to withstand pressure was much better than that of Shan Lao Er, and he was more bloody-minded. He was not completely desperate like Shan Lao Er. Of course, it might also be to stabilize people's position.
"There is still a chance! There is still a chance! If the other party planned so early and attracted so many people, there will definitely be other moves. As long as you can hold on to the end, you will definitely have a way to survive."
Boss Shan looked around firmly and spoke loudly with an extremely firm tone. Believe it or not, everyone needs a reason to persevere now.
As for surrender? There are so many people outside watching with eager eyes. If you say you are not one of their people and wonder where the silver is? Will people believe it?
One letter, two letters, is it possible for you to make everyone and all the forces believe it? They are the swordsmen and you are the flesh and blood of the fish. Even if there is only a slight chance, people will not let them go easily, not to mention that there is a high probability that there are people outside that they have offended.
