The simple fortifications were not reliable after all, and with repeated attacks, the wall that was as tall as a person collapsed, injuring many villagers.
"Kill!"
Zhang Mingjiu took the opportunity to shout and command the broken troops with guns to charge.
The soldiers and the bandits mingled together and clashed at the collapsed wall. At close range, the rifles were extremely powerful and they could hit people without even aiming.
Several villagers were killed and injured in an instant, and they were retreating steadily.
Ma Xuekui, the leader of the Red Spear Association, raised his gun and shouted: "We can't retreat. If we retreat again, our wife, children, parents, and parents will not be safe. Brothers, follow me and kill!"
Ma Xuekui rushed forward crazily. He was a member of the Lian family. He shot the bandit in the throat, then drew another one and shot him down.
"boom!"
Blood gurgled out of Ma Xuekui's chest. He wanted to continue killing the enemy, but the strength in his body was taken away and he fell to the ground unwillingly.
"father!"
A young man roared, rushed forward desperately, stabbed two bandits to death one after another, and was shot three times in the body. He still gritted his teeth and persisted, stabbing the bandits again, but was hit in the head with an iron rod by the enemy next to him.
.
Ma Xuekui and his son are not from Caozhuang. They are from Maluzhuang next door.
In order to fight against the government and bandits, all Zhuangzi in this area united to form the Red Spear Club. When one village was in trouble, all villages supported it.
After the death of father and son, Huang Ziming of Chenjiazhuang became the leader. He raised his gun and shouted: "Avenge the horse altar owner! Kill him!"
The villagers were filled with indignation. Their number was more than three times that of the bandits. They immediately risked their lives and rushed forward crazily.
This formation frightened the bandits, and the timid ones turned around and ran away.
"Bang bang bang!"
The defeated soldiers fired continuously and killed several villagers, and the two sides immediately broke into a melee.
Seeing that the time had come, Zhou Hexuan immediately rode up to Zhang Mingjiu and said with a smile: "Congratulations, Your Majesty, Caozhuang will be conquered soon."
"What king? You can call me commander, you can call me marshal..." Zhang Ming didn't finish his words before he looked down at his waist in disbelief. There was a bullet hole bleeding there.
"boom!"
Zhou Hexuan raised his hand and fired another shot, hitting Zhang Mingjiu until his head exploded. He sneered and said, "I have also practiced this."
After killing Zhang Mingjiu, Zhou Hexuan rushed to the wall again and shouted: "It's not good, there is an ambush, the commander has been killed! Run away, everyone run away!"
After shouting several times, the bandits finally turned around. After seeing Zhang Ming lying on the ground with nine lives lost, the bandits immediately lost their fighting spirit and turned around and ran away one by one.
Those defeated soldiers knew they could not escape, so they gritted their teeth and captured Caozhuang. However, being held hostage by the defeated bandits, they could only flee among the crowd.
Huang Ziming was already furious. When he saw the bandits fleeing, he immediately gave chase and shouted: "Avenge the horse altar owner!"
Six to seven hundred villagers suddenly became excited, yelling crazily and beating the drowned dog.
Zhou Hexuan was riding on horseback, aiming at one of the gunmen and pulling the trigger. I don't know if it was because his hands were shaking or for some reason, but he actually hit the unlucky guy next to him. He was not discouraged, and fired wildly into the bandits anyway.
After two lifetimes, this was Zhou Hexuan's first time killing someone. He didn't feel any nausea, but instead felt a little excited.
However, the bandits were about to rush forward, so Zhou Hexuan, who was concerned about his life, quickly rode out of the way to avoid dying in the melee.
The Sun brothers were stunned. Sun Yonghao said: "Brother, sir, you are so insidious."
"That's called smart! Stop talking nonsense and go help." After saying this, Sun Yongzhen rushed to Zhou Hexuan's side.
In fact, there was no need for them to rush. The defeated bandits just fled this way, and they met the two brothers in a blink of an eye. Sun Yonghao's marksmanship was much better than Zhou Hexuan's. He specially checked those with guns and basically killed them all with one shot.
With just two people and a gun standing in front of them, hundreds of bandits were frightened and spontaneously changed directions and fled to the side.
Meng Keke, who was thirteen or fourteen years old, was so excited that he drew out the flower gun used on the stage and ran quickly to chase the bandits.
"Science, come back!" Mother Zhang Yunhe shouted in panic.
Meng Xiaodong's father was also a martial arts practitioner. He immediately drew his spear and chased forward. On the one hand, he was protecting his son, and on the other hand, he was taking the opportunity to kill the bandits.
Third uncle Meng Hongqun and eldest uncle Meng Hongfang saw this and rushed forward. Meng Hongfang shouted: "Chun and the leaders in the class, all follow me!"
The men joined in one after another, and even the timid rider picked up a stone on the ground and ran after him.
Zhou Hexuan was so happy that he chased after him on his horse. He fired several bullets and then stopped.
Although Sun Yongzhen was short and had short legs, he ran very fast. He lent his gun to Zhou Hexuan. He took out two daggers and stabbed the bandits in the waist when he saw them. Those who were stabbed by him would not die on the spot, but they would not see a doctor.
, I will definitely not survive today.
Zhou Hexuan was not idle either. He was as sharp-tongued as a gun. He ran on horseback and shouted: "Surrender without killing! Surrender without killing!"
Hearing this sound, the bandits who were tired from running finally stopped and lay on the ground begging for their lives.
The bandits had been marching for half a day and fighting for nearly 20 minutes, and they were already exhausted. One by one, they gave up and fled, kneeling and lying all over the ground. Even some of the defeated soldiers with guns chose to surrender.
In the end, only a few bandits at the front were still on the run. Zhou Hexuan rushed up on horseback, stopped in front and shouted with an empty gun: "Surrender, don't kill!"
There were two bandits who clearly had guns in their hands, but they were completely frightened and knelt down on the spot. One of them kowtowed repeatedly and shouted: "Military Advisor, spare your life, Military Advisor, spare your life!"
The villagers who caught up were still angry and beat and kicked the bandits. One villager even dug out half of the bandit's head with a hoe.
Zhou Hexuan was afraid of an accident, so he quickly said: "Stop beating him, tie him up with a rope first!"
Huang Ziming, the leader of the Red Spear Club, immediately shouted: "Yes, everyone who obeys our benefactor should be tied up."
While the villagers were tying up the bandits, Huang Ziming walked up to Zhou Hexuan, knelt on one knee and said, "Thank you so much for saving my life."
Zhou Hexuan smiled and said: "I just saved myself, I didn't do much."
Huang Ziming raised his head and asked: "My dear benefactor, don't you remember me?"
"Who are you?" Zhou Hexuan felt a little familiar.
"I have tasted your delicious porridge at the porridge shed outside Tianjin!" Huang Ziming said excitedly.
Zhou Hexuan slapped his head: "Oh, it's you. You were unkempt and disheveled at that time, but now that you have washed your face, I can't even recognize you."
Huang Ziming turned to the villagers and said: "Everyone, this is the great philanthropist Mr. Zhou I'm talking about! He made porridge in Tianjin and saved many people in Shandong. My brother is still studying in his Hope Primary School."
There was an old man in the village who came over tremblingly with a cane and bowed: "My benefactor, please accept my respects!"
Zhou Hexuan quickly supported him: "I can't do it, I can't do it!"
